Jealousy Killed The Girl
Neteyam x Girlfriend Reader
Summary: based off this post
Warning: semi public, jealous sex, aged up characters
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yn/3rd person pov
You and neteyam have been together for a while and he's sweet and charming you couldn't ask for more but when he gets jealous and protective you get wet just at the thought.
Everyone in the village knew you were his and know went against him well except for aonung who is always around you when neteyam isn't and it's starting to get on neteyams nerves.
"I fucking hate him" nete snapped glaring in the direction of aonung and his friends "he didn't mean it nete please" I murmured laying my hands on his chest.
Neteyam sighed heavily before looking at me his eyes softening "you belong to me" he muttered putting his hands on my hips pulling me into him roughly making a gasp escape my mouth.
"I know neteyam" I giggled and pecked his lips earning a low growl from him as I squirmed to get out his hold "come on" I murmured looking into his eyes pleading".
"Fine" he said before he grudgingly let me go "thank you" I smiled and grabbed his hand and started to drag him down the beach "look at the shells" I squealed happily letting go of his hand running over to them.
"Their so pretty" I shouted bending down to pick a few up but screamed in surprise as I felt a sting on my butt "neteyam" I said turning to him angerly which just made him laugh more.
"What I couldn't help it" he defended himself making me roll my eyes and started to laugh with him in till we heard someone clear their throat.
"hi yn" aonung smirked walking up to us completely ignoring neteyam presence I glanced at neteyam who looked like he was about to murder aonung.
"What's up" I asked popping the 'p' "nothing just wanted to give you this" he grinned opening up his hand revealing a bright blue shell necklace that was surrounded by tiny pearls.
"Wow" I said looking between the necklace and him "but why" I asked "no reason just wanted to treat you like I treat any woman" he smiled giving me the necklace.
I put my hand against neteyams chest stopping him for going at aonung "Bye bye" aonung murmured before walking away.
Neteyam grabbed the necklace out my hand throwing it onto the floor before stomping on it, I quickly put my hand over my mouth to stuffle my laughter.
"What's so funny" neteyam growled pulling me into his chest staring down at me with a dangerous look in his eye.
"You look like a child throwing a tantrum" I said throwing my head in laughter but neteyam did not join me but instead dragged me over to a big rock and pushed me against it.
"Nete" I hissed as the rock slightly scratched my back "shut up" he muttered before roughly attaching his lips to my neck sucking and nibbling most surely leaving a mark.
"Fuck" I moaned out as he ran his tongue up my neck "your mine" he snapped grabbing my neck with his hand slightly chocking me "now are you gonna be good" he growled.
"I can be good, so good I swear" I whined staring up at him, his hands grabbed my ass tapping it to signal me to jump, as I did I wrapped my legs around his waist and settled comfortably.
"Good girl" he smirked and let one of his hands move to my front and moved aside my skirt and his loincloth clothe "neteyam here really" I whined squirming in his hold as I felt his cock run along my slit.
"Yes here and I want you to scream for you to scream so loud that fish tails hears us and knows your mine" he growled before thrusting into me making my eyes roll and a gasp escape my mouth.
When ever neteyam gets jealous it's like a feral beast takes over and it doesn't matter how many times you reassure him he fucks you and leaves you limping and covered in his marks.
"Fuck" I cried out as he started thrusting relentlessly and his hands moved around my body from ass to my breasts leaving slight scratch marks.
Neteyam started to growl and groan and smacks my ass as he started sucking on my neck again "neteyam" I yelled out in pleasure as I felt a wave of pleasure come over me.
"That's is that's is" he muttered and moved one of his hands to rub my clit making me moan louder the pleasure was becoming a bit much as the knot in my stomach began to tighten "cumming" I whimpered as my body shook.
But he didn't stop he never does "neteyam" I cried as he started over-stimulating me "shit" he cursed as I started clenching around hin "please" I begged as I started to hiccup his hand never stopped rubbing my clit.
"Not in till you scream" he groaned thrusting faster "I'm yours neteyam" I screamed out in pleasure cumming for the second time.
"Fuck I'm gonna breed you so everyone knows" neteyam growled as he finally released inside of me he breathed in heavily as he glared up at me but he wasn't angry at me "your mine and mine alone".

Tumblr media
✧ Neteyam:
You and Neteyam scarcely managed to go on 'official' date nights. Sure, you spent practically every waking moment together, but you enjoyed having outings where you knew it could be just the two of you. Following his promise to take you to a particular spot he had uncovered, you wanted nothing more than to make yourself look and feel pretty for what you hoped would be an unforgettable night. Unfortunately for you, nothing seemed to work your way. Your hair was not cooperating, you felt awkward with every cloth you put on, and even your jewellery felt uncomfortable.
You were frustrated; it was evident from how you stomped around Awa'atlu, hair a mess from your frustrating fails at stying it. You needed help and fast.
You soughed in relief when you finally found Tsireya, the most put-together person you knew. She sat peacefully under a palm tree, hands busy weaving together a garment made of shells and pearls.
"Tsireya! I need your help, please," You pleaded, your hands clasping together in entreaty as you kneeled before her.
Startled, she looked up at you, eyes full of worry, and she put her weave down gently, "What is wrong (Y/N)? Are you hurt?"
"No, nothing like that," You sounded, a slight pout on your face, "I have a date with Neteyam and I just… feel and look terrible. Could you help me get ready if you are not too busy?"
"Never too busy for you," She said, slightly giggling as she sat up to comb her fingers through your messy hair in an attempt to calm it down, "I can see your hair doesn't want to be tamed."
"Ever since I cut it short, I just don't know how to make it look good…" You spoke, slightly regretting the impulsive chopping of your locks.
"I could make it longer. Many Metkayinan women weave materials into their hair," Tsireya said, "I could do the same for you?"
You grinned at the idea but felt a slight pang of guilt; the process sounded long and you didn't want to take up Tsireya's free time, "I don't want to keep you…"
"Please, it's my pleasure! I haven't had anyone to do this on in so long!"
Before you knew it, Tsireya had gathered her materials and went to work in your hair. It was apparent she knew what she was doing, hands weaving the twisted seaweed, leather and threads into your hair at an incredible pace. She accentuated her work with little shells and gems, finalising her creation with a proud smile.
It had taken hours, and your scalp and ass were sore, but you felt like royalty. You stood to find your hair down to your hips for the first time in years, and you twirled with a gleeful laugh.
"Tsireya, it is perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" You babbled, giving her a grateful hug.
She laughed and embraced you back, "Any time (Y/N). Now go; Neteyam will be waiting!"
Realising that you were almost running late, you took off with one last 'thank you' and made your way towards the beach, where you had agreed to meet with Neteyam.
The man in question sat patiently on the sand, entranced by the captivating colours of the eclipse as they reflected on the ocean while waiting for you to arrive.
You approached him from behind, arms coming to wrap around his shoulder. He tensed at first before he recognised your warm embrace, and he leaned into your touch as you gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"I was starting to think you had forgotten," He teased, but as he turned to face you, his eyes widened, your change in appearance taking him by surprise, "I… wow."
You smiled nervously, "Sorry, Tsireya was doing my hair," you averted your eyes from him in a sudden shyness, "I wanted to look good for our date."
He laughed softly and awed at your adorable demeanour, "(Y/N), you didn't have to do anything special," with a fond smile, he held your hand, pressing fluttering kisses to your knuckles, "But you look gorgeous, yawntu."
You blushed lightly, meeting his eyes, "Thank you, Nete. Just don't get too close," You chuckled, "She used some seaweed, and my hair smells… salty."
He snickered but pulled you towards him without a single care, your foreheads touching, "As if that would stop me from getting close to you," He planted a sweet kiss on your lips, eyes closing in bliss, "My pretty flower."
Tumblr media
✧ Lo’ak:
Under the morning sun, you sat with Tsireya on the beach, the two of you chattering away, the cool ocean breeze caressing your skin. You always looked forward to moments like these, when you and Tsireya had enough free time that you could do nothing but lounge and enjoy each other's company. Since your arrival in Awa'atlu, she had become one of your best friends. You played with Tsireya's hair to pass the time, expertly braiding small strands of her long locks between your fingers.
"Your hair is so beautiful. I wish my hair was as long as yours," You sighed wistfully, finishing off the braid.
"Your hair is beautiful too!" She said, a sincere smile on her face, dimples showing.
"I just wish I never cut it so short. It's taking forever to grow out," you whined.
Tsireya grinned, the tinkering of an idea evident on her face, "I could help with that!"
"You're going to… make my hair grow?" You replied skeptically.
"Well, no. It would be more of a temporary fix. Wait here!" She squealed, excitement on her face.
She quickly returned, equipped with a basket of supplies in her arms and an excited grin on her face.
It was apparent she knew what she was doing, hands weaving the twisted seaweed, leather and threads into your hair at an incredible pace. She accentuated her work with little shells and gems, finalising her creation with a proud smile.
It had taken hours, and your scalp and ass were sore, but you felt like royalty. You stood to find your hair down to your hips for the first time in years, and you twirled with a gleeful laugh.
"I love it, Tsireya!" You exclaimed, giving her a friendly embrace. In return, you continued adorning her hair with little twists, using her supplies to embellish little crystals among the little braids.
As much as you wished you could sit on the beach and gossip with Tsireya all day, as the afternoon approached, the two of you decided it was time about time you would make your way to the rocky shore for today's lessons. When you arrived, Ao'nung and Rotxo were already harshly reprimanding Neteyam, Kiri and Lo'ak on their diving techniques.
While Tsireya went to scold her brother for being so mean with his guidance, you sat quietly between Lo'ak and Kiri.
Lo'ak took your hand immediately but did a double take when he glanced up at your face.
"You uh… you look nice," He stuttered nervously, quiet to not let the others hear. Despite his efforts to be discreet, you noticed the amused glances Rotxo and Neteyam shot each other, entertained by the lack of charm Lo'ak possessed.
Your Lo'ak was a man of few, awkward words when it came to expressing his feelings, but you didn't miss the way his bright eyes assessed your new hair, a subtle blush forming on his face.
When the lesson finally moved to the ocean to allow you to practice diving, you discovered the troubles of having long hair. As you swam, you found it hard to see where you were going when your hair kept getting in the way with every turn. What you could see was Lo'ak smirking whenever he looked back at you, bubbles of air escaping his lips as he tried to hold back his laugh.
When you resurfaced, Lo'ak followed, a cackle escaping him when he saw your state. Your hair was all over your face, and you were carefully removing it from in front of your eyes. His hands reached to your face, helping you clear the hair out of the way.
You whined pathetically, spitting the hair out of your mouth, "I don't know how the women of this clan manage to swim with hair this long. It's a lot harder than it looks."
"Well, even if you almost ran into three different boulders, you still looked very pretty doing it," He said earnestly, despite his teasing tone.
"You sap," You scoffed, rolling your eyes and splashing him playfully. But he ignored it and pulled you forward, wrapping your arms around his neck and giving you a gentle peck, a lot more comfortable now away from everyone's prying eyes.

How much!?
𖤐Pairing: Billionaire! Alejandro x Wife! Reader
𖤐Pronouns: She/Her
𖤐Warnings: fluff, hints of smut, rich man Alejandro, language, married couple,
𖤐Summary: When shopping on her own, Y/n sees a beautiful necklace but it was extremely expensive, does she gets it without Alejandro's permission or does she ask?
————
Tumblr media
————
Alejandro was at the office and Y/n was getting ready for a shopping spree, she does this every now and then, Alejandro gives her his American Express card and she can spend as much as she wants.
But Y/n never hits the millions or anything, she barely reaches $100,000 the most she spent on was a home store looking for new house decorations and a few new things for the house.
But shopping for new clothes was kind of a different story, she spends as much as her heart desires and Alejandro watches those bank charge stack and he doesn't care as long as his wife was happy he's happy.
Y/n had bags on her arms as she just left Prada with a few new bags, Gucci sunglasses, belts and a dress, LV shoes, YSL shoes and bags, you name Y/n probably just bought it.
As she walked around a jewelry store caught her eye, she needed to get her wedding ring cleaned up.
"Hi ma'am," a lady says walking towards her.
"Hi, I need my wedding ring polished."
"Oh yes, let me see the ring." Y/n placed her hand out and the consultant looked at the ring.
"Lovely ring, your husband has good taste."
"Thank you," she takes her ring off and hands it to the consultant. Y/n walks around the store to look at the jewelry.
A necklace with pearls was on display, it looked like something a Queen or Princess would wear, it was magnificent to look at.
"Are you finding everything alright, ma'am?"
"Yes. This necklace is beautiful."
"I know, a new piece of ours, it goes for $25,000,000."
"Wow, I can see that," the man looks at the bags in Y/n's hands and smiled.
"Would you like to try it on?"
"What? No way, that's so expensive," Y/n says.
"Ma'am you are carrying bags that are worth for 5,000k, I do not mind if you try it on." He says.
"Umm~ if it's alright," he smiles and puts on some silk white gloves, and took it off the black velvet neck stand, and placing it on Y/n's neck, everyone in the store watched how the necklace complemented Y/n's skin and eyes.
"Wow."
"Gorgeous."
"Would you like it miss?" He asks her.
Y/n stares at herself in the mirror moving her head around to get it from better angles on her neck. She didn't even want to touch it or LOOK at it.
Alejandro was tapping his pen against his desk, taking a deep breath and looked out the window that was behind him, he was bored out of his MIND. He wanted to go home and be with his wife and see what she bought.
Alejandro loves having his own personal fashion show when it came to his wife.
Just thinking about her wearing a new LV dress hugging her body just right made him feel...all over the place.
His phone pinged and saw a HUGE charge to his card. His eyes widened and immediately started to call Y/n, she wasn't answering.
"Y/n, what the hell," he mumbles.
Y/n looked at him calling her phone, she just stares at her phone knowing she might have fucked up. Her fingers in her hair as she stares and stares and stares.
The next time he calls, she will answer which didn't take long, she took a deep breath and answered.
"Alejandro."
"Precioso (gorgeous) what was that charge to my phone?" Alejandro sounded like he was trying to stay calm.
"Umm~ Ale, I can explain."
"Start." He says.
"I was just trying to clean my ring and I got caught up in looking at a necklace and spent-"
"25 MILLION DOLLARS!" The calm was broken.
"I'm sorry," she apologized.
"Mi amor," he groans and rubs his temple. "How many times have I told you...BREAK MY BANK!!"
"Huh?" So he wasn't mad?
"You can spend higher, why didn't you?"
"I-I-I...I'm c-confused what?"
"I've told you many times to spend higher and 25 million was all you could do? Mi Corazón (my heart) I want you to make me go broke, a dollar in my bank account broke, I'll get it back, you know I will."
Y/n was so confused.
"B-But-"
"No buts, next time you go shopping break my bank account, anyways, I love you, I have to go, see you at home," he hangs up.
Her phone falls from her hand and looked at the necklace sitting on the black velvet neck stand.
---------
4:00PM
Alejandro was coming home now and Y/n was trying on the new clothes she bought looking at herself in her full body mirror, turning and looking to see how she looks in the back and seeing if her girls in the front looked perfect as well.
"Starting the show without me?" Alejandro asked, placing his blazer on the back of the black leather chair in the shared master bedroom.
"I was going to wait, but you were taking forever," she teased, walking towards him and sitting on his lap. Her arms wrap around his neck as his hands rested on her waist. "You look fucking stunning," he leans forward kissing her neck.
"Thank you, now do you want this fashion show or not?"
"Yes, ma'am," he leans back as she got off his lap, he pours himself a glass of whiskey and watched her come out in a new dress and new heels.
"YSL?" He asks. She just nods, turning to the mirror and looking at it.
Alejandro loves seeing his wife like this, he turns and saw the black velvet neck stand holding the necklace, she bought.
"Ohh~ so that was the 25 million dollar purchase," he points to the necklace.
"Yeah."
"It's pretty." He says, taking a sip from his glass and looking back at her.
"I know, he said it was new and I was technically the first person to wear it," she says sounding excited which made Alejandro smile.
Alejandro placed his glass down and grabbed the necklace off the stand and walked up behind Y/n. Moving it to the front of her neck and clasping it. He stares at her in the mirror.
"It suits you perfectly, mi amor," he kisses her neck and held her against his chest.
"A-Alejandro...I'm not done."
"You still have more?" He asks.
"I bought a lot," she says, with an innocent smile on her face.
"Alright, show me more," he smirks as she walks to her walk-in closet, her door slightly opened and he could see her half naked body.
--------
10:00PM
Y/n and Alejandro were going to an expensive dinner tonight, she was wearing her new dress and new YSL shoes with a new Prada bag and of course that necklace she bought. Alejandro held her hand as they walked in, they were immediately sat because of the restaurant knowing who they both were.
Alejandro and his gorgeously stunning wife.
He sits her down first before going to his chair across from her, they were given a wine menu but Alejandro ordered them a bottle of King Louis XIII, one of the most expensive bottles they have, it reaches to $23,000.
"Do you know what you want?" Alejandro asked.
"I think I'll switch it up tonight from lobster to maybe a beef wellington?"
"A wellington? Normally you don't get it."
"I know, but like I said switching it up," she gives him a soft smile.
"Here is your wine, now what can I get started for you both?" The waiter asked.
"I'll take Kobe beef, they way I like it." Alejandro started.
"Of course, you miss?"
"Could I have bluefin tuna?"
"Of course, now I will be right back," he says.
"Bluefin?"
"Is that okay?"
"Of course, mi amor," he holds her hand and kissed her knuckles.
--------
A few Hours Later
Alejandro and Y/n talked, drink, and ate their dinner and now Alejandro and Y/n were heading down the street just for some ice cream, an expensive dinner with cheap ice cream to fill them up.
It was always something they both did after eating at the restaurant was to eat dinner and go down the road for some ice cream.
It was mainly because Alejandro would treat his wife to everything she could ask for, and when they first met Y/n didn't come from money so the expensive date use to overwhelm her and then afterwards she showed him to an ice cream parlor she came to a lot when she was a little girl.
And to bring back memories and recreate their own Alejandro made it possible for her and in hopes one day they can still do it when they have kids and get older together.
Alejandro and Y/n sat on a metal bench enjoying their ice cream, she snuggled into his side, his hand hand holding his cone and the other resting on her hip.
"Did you like the dinner?" She nods.
"I like dessert better." She smiles up at him.
"One day, I hope we will come here with our kids and when we grow old and gray we will still come here," he says, looking down at her.
"Of course we will, Alejandro," she leans up and kisses his lips.

Such a Bad Laozu
Tumblr media
Wᴀʀɴɪɴɢ: PwP, Mommy Kink, Creampie, Slight Overstimulation, Choking, Slight Bondage
Nᴏᴛᴇ: I have lots of drafts saved up that I'm writing and waiting to post for you guys. I'm also adding one last fandom if you noticed my main masterlist. So, my planning, you'll see later but for now enjoy this small request
Lan!AFAB!Reader x Wei Wuxian - Such a Bad Laozu
Tumblr media
Wei Wuxian... The Yilling Patriarch, the Yilling Laozu, demon spawn, Baba, Wei Ying, Ridiculous, many bad things.
Lan Y/N... The older Pearl of Gusu, Top three fighters, Mama, Ice Queen, the Gusu Princess, many good things.
Two completely opposite people, yet everyone saw them together most of the time during Gusu Lectures. No one knew of how Wei Wuxian was able to befriend the ice queen, not even her brothers knew... Well except Lan Xichen, but she made him promise that he didn't tell their little brother. And he's kept that promise, even to this day of how Wei Wuxian was in Mo Xuanyu's body. Lan Y/N could instantly tell it was her beloved. He wasn't able to fool her that easily.
So when Lan Wangji brought Wei Wuxian to Gusu those first few nights, you decided to have Wei Ying sleep in your palace because it made more sense then have him room with your brother. Mo Xuanyu was known for being gay so wouldn't him rooming with a woman be the best way so he's behaved? Everyone in Gusu thought so, especially Wei Wuxian.
"Wei Wuxian! The fact that you now come back here after all these years and yet decided to hide from me is shameful!" You yelled at him and pushed him onto your mat while the male looked flustered and chuckled softly. "Y/N..I know I shouldn't have."
"Oh that's definitely an understatement, Mr. Lazou. For leaving me alone these past 13 years, you will take all of my brunt." You smirked as you pulled his robes off. He looked a bit excited from your sudden change of attitude but he should of expected it. He left you alone for 13 years, he would definitely be pent up as well after finding out that his loved one was alive.
You used your Lan forehead ribbon and tied Wei Wuxian's hands up with it tight as you were on top of him. "Wow Mommy~... You better hope your brothers don't try to come in..." He teased you a bit while watching you take your robes off, getting back on top of him and wrapping your hand around his neck. "They won't. Xichen definitely won't and he'll make sure Wangji doesn't either. Now shut it."
The next few hours that went by were spent by you and Wei Wuxian fucking each other senseless like bunnies in heat, loud moans coming from the both of them. He couldn't really tell what time it was or how long they were going, he just knew that being with his pearl was amazing. "Fuck yes, Mommy~" He groaned while you were bouncing up and down his cock for probably the nth time. Squelching sounds could be heard from their hips connecting together, one look in your eyes told Wei Ying everything. He's gonna be exhausted when the sun rises.
And exhausted he was, he didn't even knew that Y/N had this much stamina until she made him cum inside of her ass for the fifth time. He could feel himself get sleepy, there probably only was a few hours left until it was time to get up yet you still wanted more from him. "Cmon, one last time, Wei Ying.." You panted softly while increasing your speed, moaning from how deep he went in you.
"B-but Mommy~ I don't think I can..~" He whined under his breath, tears in his eyes because of pleasure before you pulled his hair a bit, grabbing the ponytail. "But I know you can, baby~ Unless you're being a bad Laozu and refusing?.."

Adventures in Grian-Napping
Yakety Sax plays overhead.
Limited Life Session 3 Urban Fantasy AU not-quite-crack but definitely not serious either
Thanks to @crabbbage and @possiblyawesometmblr for the inspiration!

"Grian's in a coma!"
Scott almost dropped his coffee when Martyn came flying through the front door, grinning like a madman.
"You know when Pearl moved out," he started, carefully re-balancing his armload of coffee and paperwork. "She left her key. Because she doesn't live here anymore. Because she has somewhere else to live. Just something to consider."
Martyn just looked at him like he was stupid. "Pearl doesn't use the front door, she comes in the window. You complain about it every time." He reached for the coffee pot on the bar and Scott batted his hands away.
"It's rude." He said defensively, taking a sip of his coffee to avoid having to answer any further. Martyn didn't say anything, just watched.
"You also have somewhere else to live. Somewhere you lived before, even."
Martyn tried for the coffee pot again.
Scott dropped his bag to grab it first. "Oh my GOD! Would you stop that‽ I made it, you should know better."
Martyn slunk back a step with an overly dramatic sulk. "You let Cleo eat your food."
"Cleo is undead and therefore immune to faerie food." Scott dumped the contents of the pot down the sink. "You, however, are not. You'd think twice would be enough."
"What can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment." Martyn hopped back towards him. "Anyway, that's not what I'm here for. Grian is in a coma."
Scott left the coffee pot in the sink and gathered back up his work things before making another try for the front door. "That's so sad, I'll send a card to the hospital."
"Oh no no no," Martyn shook his head. "Not that kind of coma, he's not in the hospital. He's on Joel and Timmy's sofa." He clearly thought this meant something, looking at Scott expectantly.
Scott just rolled his eyes up at the ceiling. "When will my husband return from the war and take you back off my hands?" He paused. "And by husband I mean Ren and by war I mean his communing with the moon and the wilderness werewolf thing."
"It's a two month retreat," Martyn said immediately. "He'll be gone for three more weeks."
A deep sigh and he looked back down. "Alright, I'll bite. What is going on with Grian and why do we care?"
"Wow, that's cold. Grian is in a coma because, according to Timmy," and Martyn made the most dramatic air quotes Scott had seen in awhile. "Grian said 'Oops, just a second, the gods are trying to take me back.' And then flopped over into his breakfast."
Scott mentally filed that away in his What the Actual Fuck is Up With Grian folder. "Okay, so again, why do we care?"
"We should steal him."
Scott should have kept the rest of the coffee, risk to Martyn be damned.
"We need to hurry though, Cleo, Scar, and Bdubs are already trying for it."
Of course they are.
-
It took them nearly half an hour to get to Joel and Jimmy's place because Martyn couldn't fly and Scott refused to carry him. No matter how many times he almost got run over jaywalking. Pearl was perched in the window by the door when they got there, her wings twitching behind her occasionally to balance. Scott stopped at the threshold and exchanged a look with her that only felt a little bit awkward. (They were doing better, even if they weren't quite back to the level of friendship they'd had before the soulmates debacle.)
"What's happened so far?"
Pearl grinned. "Scar has been baby-talking him, Cleo is hovering ominously, and-"
"STOP TRYING TO TAKE OUR GRIAN!"
"-And Joel is working himself towards an aneurysm."
Scott peeked through the door that Martyn so thoughtfully left open. He couldn't quite see into the living room from there but he could see Bdubs standing in the hallway and Jimmy fluttering back and forth, wings fluffed up indignantly while he argued with someone out of sight.
Oh, he might just be distracted enough that...
"Hey, Jimmy? May I come in?"
Pearl stifled a giggle next to him, her antenna bobbing in front of her face.
"Huh, yeah? Wait, no-"
Too late.
Scott strolled across the threshold, hands shoved in his pockets and smirk firmly pasted on. Jimmy threw his hands up in the air and stomped away, further into the sitting room.
"He never learns."
"He let me and Scar in too," Bdubs confirmed as he walked up beside him, eyes twinkling with mischief. "Though I don't think he'd realized that was a bad idea yet."
Scott just hummed in amusement. Invitations at this house were good one-time only, courtesy of Lizzie and the copious amounts of wards she'd thrown at the house first when Joel and then later Jimmy moved in. And if he focused hard enough, Joel would be able to throw them out, invited or no. They'd just have to make sure he was too distracted then. 
Though Cleo and Scar and Martyn seemed to have that well in hand, circling like vampires at a seedy nightclub. Joel was standing in front of the sofa, his hands on his hips, staring Cleo down, which looked pretty comical from the height difference alone. Scar and Martyn were flanking, trying their best to get at Grian (wrapped in a blanket, sitting on the sofa, staring blankly into space) while Joel body-blocked them without breaking eye contact with Cleo, who looked more amused than anything else. Jimmy was hovering anxiously in the back.
"Awwwww, who's a widdle Gwian," Scar was cooing, practically radiating mildly malicious delight. "Lookit the widdle Gwian!" 
"Stop that!" Joel blindly flailed a hand in Scar's direction and managed to smack him across the face, more out of luck than intention. Scar wheeled backwards a bit but wasn't deterred for long, rolling right back up to the sofa, turning his chair so that it was partially shielding him.
"Does the widdle Gwian want to go for walkies?"
"NO!" That actually got Joel to look away from Cleo, clear alarm on his face. "NO HE DOES NOT!"
"Are you so sure," Martyn inched closer. "It's got to be a bit dull, just staring at the wall like that. What kind of friends would we be if we left him to suffer boredom while he does..." he waved a hand vaguely in the air. "whatever he's doing."
Jimmy's wings fluffed up further. Pearl appeared in the living room window with a bag of popcorn as if she'd always been there. 
"You're not stealing our Grian!" Joel insisted. It was a good thing there were privacy wards. Who knows what the neighbors would have done by now otherwise.
"Do you think if we threw him across your lap you'd be able to carry him out?" Cleo asked Scar directly, leaning in a bit closer to Joel in a way that would have intimidated probably anybody else, but Joel's sense of danger was skewed and he didn't even flinch.
Scar looked genuinely thoughtful, tapping one finger on his knee as he considered. "Maybe. We'd have to tuck the blanket in tightly to make sure it didn't get caught in my wheels and kept his wings folded up."
Joel looked about ready to explode and was sputtering incoherently. Jimmy was squawking like an offended chicken. Pearl absolutely had the right idea with the popcorn.  
"You could at least turn the television on for him," Scott decided to throw his two cents in. "He's already in here."
Everyone quieted for a moment and considered that.
"Mario Kart?" Pearl suggested through a mouthful of popcorn. Jimmy perked up at the suggestion and Martyn looked like it had genuinely distracted him.
"We should do that!"
-
Two hours later everyone was firmly focused on the television, controllers being passed around and insults even more so. Cleo and Martyn and Scar and Pearl were fighting their way through Bowser's Castle and Scott leaned back against the sofa, closed his eyes and took a soft, deep breath.
Jimmy was easy, Scott's magic familiar and nonthreatening to him. He slumped over almost immediately, sound asleep.
Joel was harder. He had an innate resistance to magic in general that was very annoying, and an extra buffer from Lizzie's claim, but he was fairly relaxed and unsuspecting and he wasn't that far behind Jimmy.  Scott stifled a yawn and sat back up. Sleep charms always made him sleepy too. 
None of the others except BDubs had even noticed, too focused on the game.
"If you still want to steal Grian," Scott said, right as Martyn crossed the finish line with a cheer and shouts of disgust from the others. "Now would be the time."
Bdubs hopped to his feet. "Right, c'mon, Mom!"
Cleo looked somehow both exhausted and entertained at the same time. "Don't call me mom." Regardless, they got to their feet and gave the room a quick look-around. "Right."
Without further ado, she strode over to the sofa, threw Grian, blanket burrito and all over her shoulder and looked back at the rest of them. "Are you coming or what?"
There was a mad scramble, full of giggling and loud shushing and one close call (Jimmy rolled over in his sleep and almost hit Scar with his wing) before they were all out in the hallway looking at each other.
"Where to?" Martyn poked the Grian burrito. No reaction.
Pearl looked up from her phone. "I texted BigB, he'll meet us at the corner with the car."
"We should take him to Dad," Bdubs said emphatically. 
Cleo sighed. "Fine, we'll go see Etho."
Scar and Bdubs cheered. Martyn hushed them and they cheered again, quieter this time.
"We should hurry, the sleep charm won't last much longer," Scott jumped a bit when Pearl linked her arm with his.
They were out the front door and on the sidewalk, BigB's sedan pulling into view before the jig was up.
"WHERE IS GRIAN!"
Scott exchanged glances with Pearl and Martyn and as one the three of them bolted for the corner, giggling all the way, the others hot on their tail.
The trunk popped as they got close and Cleo yanked it open and tossed Grian inside without hesitation. Scar swung himself out of his chair and leaned up against Scott, who had to scramble a bit to catch him, scooting his chair at Cleo. They folded it up in record speed and shoved it in the trunk as well, right on top of Grian, before slamming the doorclosed and immediately pulling Bdubs out of the passenger seat so they could sit there themself.
Scott somehow ended up squished in one corner of the back, with Scar in the middle, Pearl on the other side with her knees pulled up, Martyn in his lap, and Bdubs squished down in the footwell in front of Pearl. Just in time too, as Joel came dashing down the sidewalk, Jimmy on his heels and fury on his face.
"GO! GO! GO!" At least three people screamed and BigB screamed wordlessly back as he peeled away from the curb. Scott managed to twist enough in his seat he could look out the back window. Joel was red in the face and looked genuinely distressed enough that he almost felt bad. Behind Joel, Jimmy took to the air.
"Jimmy's following," he informed the car at large. "He'll watch us from the air but he won't be too hard to lose."
Martyn leaned back, his elbow making forceful contact with Scott's diaphragm as he tried to look out the window. "He forgot to glamour before he took off, didn't he."
Scott wheezed, Pearl laughed, and Scar cackled like the madman he was.
"Etho is going to hate this," Bdubs announced from the floor. 
"Only one way to find out," Cleo said cheerfully and turned on the radio. "To Etho's house!"

Percy Jackson episode 6. Wow. So many good things. I still want longer episodes. I want more of it all. But everything we got was soooo good. Grover talked to the animals on the truck and found out that the drivers were trafficking them. I would have loved to see Percy talk to the zebra but 🤷‍♀️ And then Grover's like I gave them a satyr's blessing they'll make it back to the wild safely and Percy says what about the people and Grover is like 🫤 didn't think about that
Annabeth called Percy seaweed brain for him to toss the coin for the Iris message!!
There were some parts of the episode that felt straight out of the book. Grover talking to the animals and then them just being released in the streets of Las Vegas. What Luke said during the iris message. All the different things at the lotus casino and grover forgetting why he was there. and time passing faster. In the book they maybe don't remember what the lotus flower is at first but it made sense for them to know before going in that they shouldn't eat anything. Of course they knew that.
Percy called Annabeth wise girl!
Finding pan was a vr game! My poor sweet grover he really felt like he was so close :(
Percy ! Driving ! oh ! my god! him trying to drive straight is like me trying to go straight in a video game. I kind of thought that Annabeth would drive cause she's the really smart one. Then again, percy has been in more cars. but in the end it didn't matter cause he still didn't know what he was doing.
the envelope from hermes that said to the dumb kids !!!! loved that
interesting change that the nereid gave percy 4 pearls. I wonder what the plan with that is.

Hellooo I'm back from the abyss again. So yeah I made an Ace Attorney Atla Au yehaww. (or maybe this even exists already idk)
Both of these universes made me hyperfixate for a crazy amount of time (it's not over yet) and I just love how many parallels can be found.
Also man, Zuko and Miles are just the PERFECT parallel. At the end of AA1 Miles gave me veery strong awkward Zuko vibes xD I also apologize for the terrible name that is the imposing Firelord Manfred. (cries) In this Au I definitely want a redemption arc for Franziska too because I can't deal with her not being included in group hugs.
Also obviously I'm not shipping Avatar Phoenix and Maya which would be the original Aangx Katara pairing, but of course the Avatar and the fire prince himself ✨✨ I also made them the same age so it just fits better. Even the rivalry and the possibilities of angst are so fitting for Ace Attorney which sparks happiness. I can't stop thinking about how adorable the episode would be where they learn the original source of firebending with them dancing together and having that beautiful moment in the flame vortex of the dragons arghhhhhh
Oh yeah and Maya and Larry are siblings here which is kind of crazy x'D Mia would be the oldest sister, and I think instead of the mom, Mia was killed by the fire soldier. I wanna keep the channeling concept but I don't know how to make it fit yet.
I'm also in love with how similar Aang's and Phoenix' struggles are with their responsibilities. Both kinda start as naive and idealistic protags but are severely traumatized as they meet the real world, still they don't give up on world peace/justice and find their motivation in the found family they made.
I also wanted to add Pearl in but didn't know how..if anyone has an idea feel free to comment ><
Btw I'm now done with Justice for All and at the beginning of Trials and Tribulations, and I must say, WOW. It just gets better and better
Oh yeah and funfact: The idea of this Au come to be because in the anime, Phoenix shamelessly airbends in the courtroom. I'm not making stuff up x'3

Before I reveal the contestants, I want to shout out some characters that didn't end up getting in, for one reason or another, but stood out to me
Prince Peasley (Superstar Saga): I mentioned him as a character I really enjoyed learning about, but since he won the Luigi ship competition, I'm unsure of his obscurity status and he may overpower the other characters. I'm sorry your highness, please know I love you
Francis York Morgan (Deadly Premonition): I was stunned to see not one, but 2 people submit this character. I'm endlessly entertained by his weird ass game. He would've been a shoe in had he not been submitted twice. Sorry buddy. Also if he was I would've put in my own propaganda, consisting only of this image
Tumblr media
and a video of the squirrels that make monkey noises
Crow T. Robot (Mystery Science Theater 3000): the only reason he's not in is because another MST3K I consider comparatively more obscure was submitted, but I am going to post part of the propaganda for him now because I really loved it and it would be a shame if I was the only one who got to read it:
i have to take a chance on crow, for he is my #1 blorbo and my favorite mst3k character since forever. i charted out a whole TIMELINE for him and there's like. 4-6 of him just existing in various locations. he's shaped like a friend. he can be folded into a torpedo. he has legs and i constantly forget this until he has them on-screen and i'm like OH SHIT this guy is mostly leg (he's around 5'4"). he managed to kill mike (the human guy he lives with in space) TWICE on accident and neither time stuck. all of his presentations are insane and completely factually inaccurate. he claimed women were myths like bigfoot in a short-film style black and white presentation. he's friendly/friends? with pearl, one of the main antagonists (and a woman, who he just claimed didn't exist). he can play the trombone. he just kinda bounces up and down sometimes and is so shaped. he spent 500 years alone because he got bored of being pure energy at the edge of the universe after five minutes. he wrote patrick swayze christmas, the only christmas song ever. he's constantly doing t-rex arms. he keeps falling from extreme heights. to a few ancient romans he's a spider-duck god. he's a bit of a pyromaniac. he went to thanksgiving in deep 13 and walked away unharmed (everyone else got poisoned). he causes an illusion in the theater where it looks like he's staring at you instead of the movie. he's an absolute menace. he contains so much gender yet none at all. he's different! he wants to decide who lives and who dies, and i think he should. he is simply so guy. ty for reading my crow rant sorry for the wall of text
Thank you for this. I love Crow and MST3K too, you are in good company
Mister Qi (Stardew Valley): In the propaganda section, the submitter wrote: "He sucks and I hate him. It'd be really funny if he lost." and it made me laugh
Chuck Cunningham (Happy Days): The submitter's dad told them to submit him and that was also funny to me
Vincenzo (kdrama of the same name): Submitter's dad has a crush on Vincenzo <3
Pioneer 9 (17776): This was the most submitted character, with a total of.....4 submissions! Wow!
Husky (+Anima): This is the second most submitted character, with 3 submissions! I'm sorry to you both but this means you are automatically excluded from being picked for the competition.
Less specifically, shout out to the many characters who were just barely well known enough to drop out of priority. And the major characters/protagonists of major series. A couple were clearly jokes, but several were not.
And all of the characters from albums, commercials, various Real Life Things, myths, some OCs, etc: I have a plan for you. It's not the main bracket, but you are not being left out here. More information on that when the time is right.
Thank you for all your submissions! The list of contestants and their matchups are coming soon!

Day 3: Wings
Using my own prompt list: here. You can also read this and every prompt as they come on AO3.
Summary:
Pearl is a fairy that loves sneaking into human homes, cleaning them up a bit was a good way to pass the time. This human home was a bit different than the others though. Gem gets a new friend!
Cleaning up homes was a pass time of Pearl's. There were only so many time you could dance on mushroom caps or spindle spider webs before it got repetitive. Humans always had something new to discover, and helping them out by keeping their multitude of things tidy was a good way to figure those things out. 
She flitted in through an open window, the curtains a pretty cherry pink and the kitchen rustic, a much more familiar style than some of the sleek chromic kitchens she'd been in the past. There were dirty dishes in the sink, a pot with the remnants of soup and of course bowls and spoons to go with it. She started there first, easily pushing the faucet on and, with the help of some magic, started scrubbing away at them. When that was finished she wiped down the kitchen counters, stopping for a moment to admire the little kitchen decoration: flower towelettes, patterned bowls, a cute deer figurine and hanging plants. She took a moment to give a little help to the plants as well, though they were doing well without it. 
Then she made her way through the living room, loving every little knick-knack and item and book she came across. This human wasn't very messy either, so while there wasn't much to do it gave her more time to admire how nice it was. It wasn't until she made her way into the bedroom that she regretted entering.
The walls were covered in bugs. Dead ones. All framed nice and pretty, like the rest of the house, with their wings spread nice and wide. Her hand gripping at her hoodie strings as she spotted a lunar moth, the bright green wings so reminiscent of her own. 
She turned, ready to fly out, when she heard the back door of the home open, so close to her open window exit. She took that moment to quickly find a hiding spot, slipping behind a vase of flowers. It wasn't the first time she's had to hide in a human house, but the first she had to for a human that had dead bugs on their walls!
She could barely hear them, a soft high voice. It was usually nice to hear how excited the humans got when they noticed the tidy rooms, not knowing who did them; but now as the human came closer and closer, checking each room for her helpful tampering, she grew more nervous. 
"Seems like it was just the living room and kitchen," the human spoke, peaking into her own room, "Well either way the surprise tidy is very appreciated. I wonder if it was Impulse, a little thank you for the dinner last night? I'll shoot him a message for sure." 
The human entered her room, starting her own bit of cleaning, "Might as well finish what was started," she giggled, getting to work on fixing up the small mess of paints in the corner of the room.
It was very unhelpful as Pearl now didn't have a clear way to escape, and staying in the room with the display of wings was in no way helping her nerves. 
She didn't wait long enough, she darted out the moment the human's back was fully turned despite the fact she should have waited until she had full left the room. The moment she was in open space the human was turning again, easily catching sight of her.
"Oh my!" The human exclaimed, and Pearl flinched at the sound of clattering paint brushes hitting the floor.
She flew faster, though she wasn't built much for speed. 
"Wait! Hold on a second," the human called and gave chase. It didn't take long, Pearl was trapped in cupped hands. "Oh, wow, would you look at you." 
Pearl folded her wings tight against her back, curling up and covering her head, trying to go unseen, obviously unsuccessful.
"No, hey, it's okay. I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. You weren't the one that did all the nice tidying were you?" 
She glanced up, figuring she may as well answer truthfully. The human seemed grateful enough, "Uh, yeah! I did. The window was open and I- Well your kitchen was so pretty I wanted to explore and I couldn't just leave such a pretty kitchen in disrepair."
"Aw! Thank you! Aren't you just the sweetest little fairy? I'm Gem. How about you?" The human smiled, flattening her hand. 
"Pearl," she answered hesitantly, wings fluttering. 
"I love your wings," Gem cooed. 
Pearl yelped, immediately scotting back, not making it very far as she was still in her hands. "You can't have them!" 
"What?" 
"You- you can't have them!" Pearl repeated, stuttering over the human's obvious confusion. 
Gem's brow furrowed a bit, head tilted to the side, before her mouth dropped into an 'o' shape. She glanced back at her room and then back at Pearl. 
"I'm not gonna take your wings. All my little bugs are ethically sourced, promise. Taking yours would be immensely cruel, and I'm not about hurting little friends. Unless they deserve it of course." 
Pearl smiled a bit, "I can get by that." 
"Well then, little Pearlo-" Gem started walking into the kitchen with her in hand. Pearl saw the window was still open, letting the rest of the tension leave her shoulders, "you want soup?"

I'm doing this far too much lately. Saying goodbye to a friend I never met.
Tumblr media
The man in the striped shirt is Shane MacGowan, first lead singer and songwriter for The Pogues - the first Irish punk band anyone had heard of widely in the USA.
He died today, November 30,at the age of 65. With Shane if you didn't know him the first things you might think is, " Oh he passed pretty young" . If you did it was, "Wow he made it that long?"
Shane was a towering talent, a junkie, a poet and often a complete bastard. His own band had to put him out because of his drug problem and general arsehole behavior - supposedly he said, "What took ya so long?"
In the early 80's there were rumbles in the music magazines about a band who went by Pogue Mahone ( which my mom used to yell at people who cut her off in traffic). They had to change it to just The Pogues because too many people knew the same phrase and they could not get any television spots or be on MTV.
Elvis Costello was a fan and helped produce their first widely played USA album "Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash" in 1985. I was in my punk/proto New Wave phase at the time and was able to get someone to drive me to the nearest large city in order to buy the LP in a ratty little store next to a CBGB wanna be bar. I'll admit that the title was the big selling point for my immature self and I had no idea what to expect (as Mr. Joel said, you can't get the sound from the pages of a magazine, even if that magazine was CREAM).
The 5th track was "A Pair of Brown Eyes" and Shane's plaintive not quite on key voice caught me as he mourned the cost of death and hate while staying intensely human. On Side 2 was "Dirty Old Town" by Ewan MacColl. For an Irish American kid from a dying mill town who didn't even have a word for her sexuality the lyrics and Shane's voice put words to my experience even an ocean away from the trauma and violence of Ireland in the 80's. "Dreamed a dream by the old canal. I kissed my girl by the factory wall... " that was me, a bumbling scared girl in a tiny canal and mill town hiding to kiss a girl because it just made more sense even if I knew it would make life even harder.
And that album has never left my possession, changing formats but bringing me back to who I once was when I owned that first LP. Nostalgia is sweet when you know you will never have to be that self in that situation ever again. But good music is good music.
I kept up with Shane through the wild swings of his career and life . Though I don't think his post Pogues music was ever up to the level of those albums - "Red Roses for Me" to "Hell's Ditch" set the standard and pointed the way for bands like Dropkick Murphy's and Flogging Molly with the blending of Irish traditional influence and modern storytelling.
And he made it to 65,changing music, writing the song "Fairytale of New York" ( will somebody explain to me why this is considered a Christmas song staple? Has anyone besides me actually listened to the real lyrics which require cutting on broadcast radio? Just because Christmas is mentioned several times doesn't make this a happy Christmas song!)
I'll stop clutching my pearls and get back on track.
I needed to write this to just get my feelings out . Shane and the other members of the Pogues were the soundtrack to a vital part of my life where I found love, lost it, and found that love had never really gone , I just needed to get my self in good enough shape to accept it.
Thank you Shane, you magnificent, miserable , romantic, drunken junkie of a poet and music maker. Your voice is always in my memories of a muggy summer evening by an abandoned paper mill in Nowhere , New York.
If you haven't heard anything by Shane besides "Fairytale" go now and give a listen to " Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash" and its follow up "If I Should Fall From Grace with God".. You will see that even punk Irish bands during the IRA's height - with all the anger, sorrow and joy that life means, can make you want to get up and dance.

Memories of the past: "A New Life" (2/3)
[Inkopolis, 2:30 PM]
"It's been 4 years since that day..."
Meanwhile, in Inkopolis, Atarime was moving some boxes, She had moved to her new house near to Inkopolis plaza 2 days ago, but she was still busy with some things
She still had to take some things out of the moving boxes, she was moving 2 boxes when a photo album fell out of one of them, upon seeing it, Atarime saw a photo from 4 years ago, it was the only photo of the Squidbeak Splatoon during the war
This made her remember many things about the war... but also that day... the day she fled from the castle and left Octavia... that night they had had a horrible fight over the issue of the war... after that fight, she decided to leave the castle that same night when she saw that the war was inevitable... leaving her wife and betraying her people... and without saying anything to Octavia about...
"Mom mom! Look at the drawing I made!"
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a voice calling her, it was her little daughter, Aurora, she was 4 years old, she wanted to show Atarime the drawing she had made
"Wow! it's amazing! Good job Aurora! oooh? did you draw your aunts?"
"Yeah!!! I want Aunt Pearl and Aunt Xena to see it!!! When will they be here mom?" Aurora asked excitedly
"Hmm... They'll be here in a few minutes! Meanwhile... Go play with your toys, okay?" Atarime said
"Okay!!!" Aurora went to the living room to play, while Atarime continued taking things out of the boxes
Atarime picked up the photo album and put it on the kitchen table, that album only made her remember everything that happened while she was still living in the castle and in the war, so she decided that she was going to hide it later, She didn't want to see it again, she didn't want to think about the past and... Octavia anymore, and she didn't want Aurora to find it, she didn't want Aurora to know anything about her past or Octavia, she wanted to keep it a secret
She wanted to continue with her new life and forget about the past and Octavia
*Knock knock!*
"HELLOOO? WE ARE HEREEEE!"
"Oh! Looks like they're already here!" Atarime opened the door, it was Xena and Pearl, they brought some things and some gifts for Aurora
"Heeeey! Atarime! we're here to celebrate!!!" Pearl entered the house with several bags
"AUNT PEARL!!! AUNT XENA!!!" Aurora said happy
"Aaah! here's my niece!" Pearl said hugging Aurora "Oooh? what's this? Did you make this drawing?"
"Yeah! it's for you and Aunt Xena!" Aurora said
"Heheh! Look at that! it's awesome!" Pearl exclaimed as she looked at the drawing
"Aww thanks Aurora!" Xena said entering the house also with some things "Hi Atarime! How is the moving going?" Xena asked as she put the bags on the table and helped Atarime with the moving boxes
"Pretty good! I'm almost done unpacking some things! How are you doing in the lab?" Atarime said
"It's been good! I've been helping Pearl a lot at Grizzco industries! I have to help her organize the schedules heh... although it's not easy at all..." Xena said
"Hey! Speaking of Grizzco industries, we should take Aurora there so she can learn how to kill salmonids!" Pearl said
"Are you crazy Pearl!? She's only 4 years old! And that's also very dangerous! She's not ready for that!" Xena said as she put some things on the table
"Awww! Okay okay! Maybe when she is 14 years old?" Pearl said
"*Sigh....* Pearl.... if she wants to work at grizzco, I guess it's-.... Huh?" Xena saw the photo album on the kitchen table "Hey Atarime? Is that a... Album?"
"Well... yeah... um... but it only contains old photos... of... you know... the war and of... her" Atarime said
"I see..." Xena said "Hey... have you... heard anything from... her...?"
"Who? Oh... are you talking about Octavia!? She's a damn traitor! I hope she's dead! She was the cause of the war! We lost so many people because of her! She just betrayed us all and tried to kill you Atarime! Don't you remember!?" Pearl said very angry while she entered to the kitchen
"Pearl! Calm down! CALM DOWN!" Xena said "I know you're upset about what happened in the war and with Octavia but you have to calm down! the war ended a long time ago!"
After Xena said that, Pearl, not very convinced, calmed down and spoke again
"Tch. Fine." Pearl said, she, like Atarime, had been through a lot in the war, and Xena knew it
"I'm so sorry Atarime. I know you don't like to talk about the war and Octavia... not after what happened in the war and in the castle..." Xena said very sadly
"It's... It's okay" Atarime said "It was hard to accept it at first but... over time I got over it, now I have a new life, I don't care anymore if she's not here, I want start over and live a peaceful life"
"I'm glad to hear that, Atarime" Xena exclaimed
"But hey! Enough of the memories of the past! This is a welcome party! Let's have fun!" Pearl said "We already brought everything so let's celebrate!"
"Alright! Hey speaking of the party, Pearl, did you bring the food I told you about?" Xena asked
"Uh... Food?" Pearl said confused
"Yeah! the food I left in the kitchen! the cake and the food I prepared!" Xena said
"Oooooh... that food... i uuuh... I forgot it..." Pearl said
"*Sigh*.... I figured so.... we'll have to go back for the food then.... Sorry Atarime...." Xena said as she headed to the door with Pearl "We'll be back in a few minutes!"
"*Sigh...*" Atarime was left thinking, had she really completely forgotten Octavia...? No, she shouldn't be thinking about that anymore, that was already in the past, now she had a new life with her friends and her daughter, away from Octo Valley and Octavia, she didn't need Octavia
*Knock knock!*
"Huh?" Atarime's thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone knock on the door, she was confused, who could it be? "I'm coming!"
"Who is it?" Atarime thought "Xena and Pearl came back so quickly? No... that would be impossible, they just left, and how-?"
Tumblr media
"Atarime! It's been a long time, hasn't it?

Coffee shop AU:
     Klavier was tapping on the counter. "Glitterboy, stop it." Ema muttered like he was causing mass disturbance of the peace and not a minor disturbance of HER peace. "But he comes here!" "So? What about it? Do your job." "You give the worst romantic advice, Fräu Cykes." "Good," she said, deadpan. "That was my goal." Suddenly someone cleared their throat. "Hey, Klavier!" Trucy Wright and Apollo Justice were at the counter. Trucy was bouncing with glee, Apollo...? Not so much. "Fräulein! Herr Justice! Welcome back, what would you two like?" Klavier had a big grin and looked at his boyfriend's big brown eyes. "I'll get my usual. Truce'll get hers." Apollo smiled at Klavier gently and in a cutely awkward manner. "A black coffee, no sugar, just milk... And a double chocolate hot chocolate with exra whip!" "Polly, your boyfriend's good!" "I memorized your drinks is all." He winked at Apollo who in turn blushes. While this went on, Ema was waiting tables. Luckily it was relatively un-busy that day, or Klavier would be getting an earful from the Forensics Detective. Them getting a part-time job here was all because they had gotten into an argument and got punished by Miles Edgeworth to get a part-time together. It was a cozy environment and besides! It was Apollo's favourite coffee shop! Klavier thought it was a win-win. Ema however, had to worry about her girlfriend stealing baked goods everytime she popped in and to quote her 'Have to listen to a glamourous fop tippy-tap away all day.' Klavier always pretended not to hear the 'fop' part and only the 'glamourous' part. Klavier started preparing the drinks, putting the espresso into the espresso machine and pouring a bit of milk into it. He then made the hot chocolate by pouring the hot milk into the milk and dark chocolate blend. He finished it off with whipping cream, chocolate drizzle and star-shaped sprinkles. "Here's your drinks! It'll be 1210¥!" "Apollo and Trucy both pulled their wallets out at the same time. Trucy put 1100¥ on the counter before Apollo could and he glared at her before smacking 110¥ down. (AN: 1$ CAD = 109.21 ¥)
-----
"How was your shift?" Apollo said when they arrived at Klavier's flat. "Very good, schatz. It got better when you arrived." "Oh quiet!" Apollo put a hand in the blond's face. Klavier placed his hand on Apollo's and moved it to his lips, caressing his hand gently. "Trucy liked her hot chocolate a lot and told Pearl all about it. If you see them there on a date I apologize on her behalf." "Fräulein Fey and Fräulein Wright are lovely girls." "If you like having 18 year old girls gushing about romance at school then sure. Oh wait you delight in romance." "You love me for it or my many blatantly obvious hints wouldn't have landed me your love." "How was I supposed to know Klavier Gavin, a pompously handsome sassy man, didn't flirt with everyone?" "I like short defense attorneys with big brown eyes and spiky hair."

Reminiscence
Hiya! I just wrote this quick fic to warm me up for future stories. I hope you'll enjoy it, and don't hesitate to share. Writing is my main passion^^ --- By swiftly unfolding his umbrella under the rainstorm, he breathed slowly, letting the air of this planet filling his lungs as a welcoming embrace. The heaviness of the petrichor tilted his memories onto his tender childhood, where joy and sparkling stories met forevermore. Around him, neons lights shone blindly on his clothes, pearling the few droplets that were managing to get on his suit from the wind.
“Earth didn't change, isn't it?”
A flying bot shaped like a tennis ball emitted a joyous sound, placing itself in front of his owner before turning around itself many times before being caught in its own giddiness. Its owner tenderly secured his bot and placed it in a pocket of his coat, a thin smile drawn on his face.
“I'm happy to be back home too, Hope.”
On those words, the visitor closed the door of his car and crossed the street, tilting his umbrella as so his bot and himself wouldn't be dampen by the angled rain. He kept walking like this until the sign of a camera shop appeared on his filed of vision. It had a neat simplistic logo of a camera snapping a robot in a flash, lighted by an incandescent bulb, flickering dangerously by the force of the wind. He opened the door, shook his umbrella to get rid of the excess of water, then took refuge inside where warmth and dimmed light hailed him silently. A bell rang just above him, but no one responded, so he went down the stairs, feeling the old wooden steps creaking under his feet, the sound resonating in the walls of the basement, and the quieted sound of the rain hitting the door.
Downstairs, a few shelves with many accessories were standing around the room like skyscrapper. Near the cash register, two shelves made of glasses stood at each side, displaying the cameras and the most expensives lenses. Some tripods and bags were hanging on the wall while others were simply resting in a corner with a tag written "50% WOW!" over them.
A few moments later, someone came out of the office in the back to welcome their customer.
“Hello there, my sincere apologies if I took this long to-CALCIOS? IS THAT REALLY YOU?”
“H-hey, Aster... it's... been a while...”
The two robots looked at each other in silence, incapable of saying anything. Hope took this opportunity to quickly flied away from Calcios's coat and nudged him to walk toward his friend. Not even a meter away from each other, Aster threw themselves into their friend's arms, hugging him tight as to not let him go by fear of losing him. While the flying bot decided to watch them from the counter, Calcios returned the affection by those whispering words he had held for years.
“I missed you...”
“I missed you too, buddy. How long has it been since we last saw each other?”
“10 years I believe.”
Aster let go of their friend, not wanting to compress his friend like a compactor. They seized this opportunity to properly observe their friend, to memorize each piece of metal, to engrave this vision as a way to believe their friend was truly present. It could be a dream. Many times he dreamt of seeing their friend, waking up to false hope each time. But this time, Calcios was truly standing in his camera shop, his eyes wandering away.
“You're... staring a bit too much.” managed to say the visitor, his face faintly glowing red as to express a blushing feeling.
“Oh my bad, I was just admiring how you changed, you know?” Aster walked around their friend, this time examining him like he was a patient in their clinic. “You've changed some parts while you were away from Earth. I'm in love with those longer green ears. Are they antennas?”
Calcios nodded in panic, definitely shy from this excessive display of attention coming from his friend, not that he really wanted to stop them. At the opposite, Aster has not changed a single bit, even the deep, shallow cut in their breast plate. That injury made him remember why he quit earth in the first place, but also why he came back, but he didn't want to think about that. Right now, it was time for the happy reunion, and he wanted to express it.
“Hum... sooo... what's poppin?”
Once again, they stared at each other in silence, but this time, Calcios felt the cringeness of his words burning in his core, and he felt stupid.
“Calcios happy to see Aster. Calcios not good at words.”
Aster snatched Hope by using their telescopic hands and played with it like it was a tennis ball, ignoring the impassible complain of the bot. They didn't really care about how stupid or weird their friend sounded. Aster knew what was "poppin".
“Oh you know, still selling cameras while trying to figure out how you could fall in love with me,” answered Aster with a playful tone in their voice.
“Robots don't fall in love.”
“... 10 years away from those humans didn't teach you anything?”
Decidedly, those two robots were truly talentuous at creating awkward silence after another, but this time, a coldness, and a familiar one, weighed around them. Astel caressed their chest plate as to reminisce the reason of this whole "situation".
“You know what? Let's leave it at that for now.” Aster finally let go of Hope and walked back to their counter. “Did you want to buy a camera? I have this amazing Fujifilm XT-9 that comes with this amazing lens for only 14.999 tellurian currency. If you still have some american dollars, I think it's 4 100$, but I could gift you a bag because you're my friend.”
Calcios shushed their offer and leaned over the counter, closing the distance without any warning. His mouth nearly tapped against Aster's cheek, but instead, mere words came out like a bullet, a single sentence that froze Aster in place.
“I took it back”
On the counter, an old photo album was laying in front of the camera shop owner with the words "for my friends Calcios and Aster" engraved as a souvenir. At the bottom right, They read the name "Fuchsia", a name that reverberated a myriad of memories through their core. Aster opened the first page, then froze again by the sight of their passing friend, taken away by those who created them. The shop owner looked up, but Calcios was nowhere to be seen. The flying bot was also gone. Silence finally reigned like it always did. Aster wished they could cry, but robots don't shed tears, and they only had their interiorized affliction runing rampant through their circuit.
“You said robots don't love, but you didn't chase a single human for 10 years only to brink back a relic of our passed away friend for nothing...”
Aster let themselves fall on the ground, shaking uncontrollably from their overwhelming feelings. They looked at their injury once again, something they never bother to replace because they wanted to remember how their own creators, humans, also tried to be their destructors. Aster gently hugged the photo album, truly happy to have gain back their friend's memories.

Oh wow I didn't know we would have another long-ish post so soon but here we are!
NEW CRK UPDATE THOUGHTS LET'S GO
Stardust YES! I loved him in the City of Wizards story and seeing that his/their story will actually be continued instead of being left in a cliffhanger that may or may not be picked up after years (I'm still waiting for the continuation of Mocha Ray's search and the Chess twins joining Dark Enchantress and Aloe's past and so many other stories left in the dark 💀) is amazing to see! And it seems we're getting more stuff with him in the World of Dreams so I'm excited!
Oh and I forgot to mention that him,Space Doughnut and Milky Way will be some sort of trio in this story which is just yes. No amount of Milky Way is too much Milky Way.
Legendary costumes are there I guess but hey at least it's a win for SeaMoon since they're getting it first with a story to accompany it.
SPACE DOUGHNUT IN CRK IS SO CUTEEEEE! When I first saw him I tbh thought that they would make his sounds alien-like and boring but instead they made it super cute AND I'M HERE FOR IT.
Who decided to bring back Black Pearl Islands with new difficulties deserves a raise 👏 That mode was easily the best event last year and now seeing there's actually a middle ground of challenge instead of it either being super easy or hard makes me rejoice!
And one last thing is that Cotton and Parfait are getting a buff. Amazing. /pos

Petition to get Kamado sitting out in the heat all day next time. Or something else for punishment. That was just cruel of him. (I can't stand heat at all and I had so much sympathy for Zisu and Ingo.) But for real I really hope Karma's coming back to Kamado at some point.
But wow I loved this new story so much. With Summer fast approaching this is really an appropriate situation. (the place I live in currently also has somewhat of a heatwave so I especially relate rn) Ingo not wanting to part with his coat at first and then even taking off his Pearl Clan tunic. (but tbh this guy is dressed to stand against the harsh cold of the Pearl Clan, I'm surprised he didn't got a heatstroke... and while it wasn't addressed directly I'm pretty sure you could see how thin he actually is could be mentioned in a later story maybe?)
Glad Akari is here to save the day with some Popsicles! I know that they also sell ice with some kind of syrup in japan during those summer festivals. But Popsicles are way easier to make. I'm also very happy to read another Rotom appearance. (Rotom is one of my favorite Pokemon I'm always happy when one shows up!)
Oh to sit with your Uncle and his colleague in the shadow of a building on a hot day and eat popsicles. A cute image! And I'm pretty sure this summer I'll be thinking about this story and probably read it again in the middle of a heatwave to have a sweet treat and to distract myself.
Thanks for another quick update. For real the timing of those fast updates couldn't been better. Currently not having the best of times but your storys always cheer me up and make my day. I love coming back for them for something sweet and for some comfort. Thanks for that.
I'll be looking forward for the next update and until then be one of many anons bouncing around ideas and have a fun time (also thank you for those fun times too) Take care and always remember to stay awesome! Because you are awesome!
(ugh hope my ramble wasn't too annoying Sorry about that)
First off Anon, no worries at all about anything being too long, I appreciate in-depth things and this really made my day to read!! ;w; You’re so sweet, and so awesome too!! I’m so glad my fics and all of the asks everyone has sent have made things easier, I do hope with time things look up for you, you deserve it!!! <3
And absolutely!! Kamado just generally isn’t considering the situation! (He might seem like such a stubborn, one-sided character now, but maybe I’ll get opportunities to flesh him out…I’ve heard some very interesting theories regarding his past!)
I’m so glad you love the story, I was a little worried people might find this one a bit directionless! ^^; but yes, I’m currently going through hot weather myself, so I really felt it as I was writing! I’m so thankful for modern times and our air conditioners haha!
And about Ingo and his coat, yes, it wasn’t directly pointed out; I sort of set that up for my food shortage fic as you guessed. Things are being noticed, but not to the point where it is explicitly clear (because people aren’t aware of the issue yet). So instead of writing that straight up described Ingo as thin or skinny, I talked about how without his clothes, he contrasted Zisu with her muscles, and how he seemed less broad and smaller. How his Pearl clan tunic was big, and gave no defining form to his body. Akari notes how he seems incomplete as well when he’s just in his underlayer. She can’t pinpoint it yet. I appreciate you caught onto that!
I did almost write him having a heat stroke because yeah, that is a LOT of thick layers, but the man needs a break so I had Zisu save him from that haha
And yes! I considered doing something more elaborate than snow and berries on a stick, but I was like “Akari’s a kid and she’s rushing, she’s gonna be cheap and easy” haha. Glad you appreciate the rotom appearance as well! I am very fond of the Pokémon myself!! :)
I’m glad the visual of having popsicles with Ingo and Zisu at the end of a hot day gives summer vibes, it was what I was trying to go for!! The highest compliment I can get is knowing someone returns to my stories to read them again, so thank you so much, genuinely ;w;
I’m so glad you appreciate my updates, it makes me happy to know you enjoy them and appreciate me trying to get them out as quick as possible without rushing the story! So thank you very much!
Once again, thank you for the ask, it’s much appreciated. Looking forward to sharing more ideas around with you and the other anons! Have a great day! :)
