It was a dark and stormy night. Ok, well it wasn’t stormy, but at least it was nighttime. The year was 1863. Taehyung made his way down to the sketchy part of town, eager for a meal. Opium was all the rage nowadays, but Taehyung despised it. It tainted people, making them even more unbearable than he thought was possible. He drew the line past alcoholics, though he still wasn’t fond of them. However, people were even easier to persuade with absinthe coursing through their veins. 

“Hey handsome, looking for some fun?” a woman approached him from the shadows, her knockers practically spilling out of her corset. She reeked of all sorts of carcinogenic substances. 

“Away with ye, painted Jezebel,” Taehyung shooed her away, and she instantly stood up straight and walked in the opposite direction with a clouded look in her eyes. 

It was hard to come by a decent meal these days. Unfortunately, sticking to the slums was his best option. No one cared if a poor commoner went missing. At least he only had to partake in such grizzly actions about once a month. Any longer than that and he’d be in big trouble (or more accurately, random people who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time would be in big trouble).

Something caught Taehyung’s attention. He lifted his chin and took a deep inhale of a sweet aroma that wafted through the air. It was the scent of something he’d never dream of finding in the slums; an untainted individual. Untainted in the sense of a perfectly pure body, not once given into sinful indulgences. 

Taehyung quickly followed the smell, growing more excited with each step. Through the narrowly winding alleyways and past some rather alarming scenes, Taehyung did not stop. He could barely keep himself from salivating once he arrived at the source. 

There she was. A beacon of light in the dreary depths of a neglected corner of the world. Taehyung curiously observed her as she fluttered from body to body, carefully checking pulses and offering aid. He couldn’t help but scoff at her earnesty. There was no use in saving these people. They were beyond salvation. Yet, he silently watched her work as she hauled around her makeshift med kit. That was a mistake. The more he watched her, the more personal interest he took. 

After devising a plan, Taehyung was ready to make his move. He started at the opposite end of the street, intending to meet up with her somewhere in the middle. He crouched beside each body with an extended hand; random passerbys would see a well dressed man committing charity work out of the goodness of his heart. That was his intention, though he was merely hypnotizing each person into a deep slumber if they weren’t already passed out. 

“Are you looking for someone, sir?” the young woman piped up behind him.

“Not in particular,” Taehyung coolly answered as he stood up to face her.

“I don’t mean to be rude, but may I ask what someone like you is doing in a place like this if you’re not looking for someone in particular?” she crossed her arms with distrust.

“Is it a crime to want to help out the less fortunate? What we’re doing doesn’t seem to be much different. May I ask what a young girl like you is doing out here all alone in the middle of the night? It can be very dangerous,” his deep voice resonated in the air. 

“Oh. You’re helping them too? I’m sorry sir, I didn’t mean any harm. People like you just don’t really come down here unless it’s for certain unspeakable acts,” she bowed her head apologetically. 

“Unspeakable? You help the people who partake in such acts,” Taehyung observed keenly, “Why bring them aid?”

“If I don’t, no one else will,” the girl answered solemnly. 

“That simple hm? You seek nothing in return? Or is your vice that of self appointed importance?” Taehyung slowly approached the girl. 

“I help them because they need it. Because they’d die without someone like me,” the girl held her ground.

“How admirable. I’m impressed, young miss. Please don’t think I was insulting you, I’m genuinely fascinated by you. Would you care to accompany me for dinner?” he extended his arm to her ever so slightly. 

“It’s a bit late for dinner isn’t it?” she responded timidly. 

“I suppose calling it a midnight snack would be more fitting. Your answer?” Taehyung asked calmly, concealing his impatience. 

“Forgive my apprehension. I’m sure you’re a fine gentleman, it’s just that this isn’t a place one would normally find fine gentlemen. I’ll gladly join you for breakfast in the morning,” she countered.

Taehyung’s eye twitched with frustration, but luckily it was too dark for the girl to see it. He needed to feed. That night. 

“I’m not keen on breakfast meals. How about tomorrow evening, during normal dinner time hours? Unless you can’t skip a day of helping the helpless,” he suggested. 

“That would be fine,” the girl finally agreed, “Oh, and I never caught your name, sir.”

“Taehyung. Pleasure to meet you,” he bowed elegantly.

“I’m Maggie, the pleasure is all mine,” she curtsied awkwardly.

After hashing out the details. Taehyung reluctantly left her alone. He wanted nothing more than to sink his fangs into her jugular, but something held him back. His curiosity got the better of him, but after living for all these years it was hard for him to find something interesting. He figured it couldn’t hurt. 

Taehyung cursed himself as he tore into an unsuspecting victim who had passed out drunk on the street. He retched at the foul taste, but this is what he has had to resort to. He couldn’t afford to be run out of another country yet again. His more refined taste would have to be put on hold for the time being (oh how he missed the good old days when people feared him enough to bring pristine victims monthly).

Rain lightly tapped against the window that Taehyung gazed out of as he scanned the crowd for Maggie. There were so many things he wanted to ask her, though a single drop of her blood would tell him everything he needed to know. Of course, that wasn’t as entertaining as an old fashioned conversation.  

Maggie finally arrived, and the restaurant host escorted her to the table. Taehyung could tell that she made an effort to look presentable. He reasoned that she was wearing her finest dress, though it had a plain and rather boring look to it. Plus, she wasn’t even wearing a fancy hat, much less a bonnet. 

“Good evening, Mr. Taehyung,” she curtsied before she sat down.

“Good evening, Miss Maggie. Have you been well?” Taehyung asked politely. 

“As well as I can be, I suppose. Yourself?” Maggie extended the same courtesy. 

“I���m splendid, now that you’re here. Tell me about yourself,” he dove right in. 

“I’m just an average girl. Nothing really special about me,” she shrugged while tugging at a strand of hair, “I never thought I’d be able to eat in a place like this in a million years. You must be embarrassed to be seen with me.”

“I disagree. I think you’re the most interesting thing here, apart from me of course,” Taehyung let out a low chuckle, “I gather you come from a poor family? What do they think about your late night escapades?” 

“They’re...gone. Sickness took them. Cholera,” Maggie shifted uncomfortably in her seat, “I don’t wanna see anyone else die so I…”

“Ah. That’s your noble cause huh? Admirable,” Taehyung took a long sip from his wine glass.

“And what of you, Mr. Taehyung? You seem rather peculiar yourself. What’s your reason for visiting that ward so late at night?” Maggie deflected the subject away from her.

“You could say I’m a humanitarian of sorts. I visit at least once a month, it’s a necessity for me,” he smiled slyly, “What else do you want to know? I haven’t had a decent conversation in ages.”

“You struck me as rather peculiar. A handsome gentleman like yourself lurking around giving aid to the weak. And then you only gave me one name when we introduced ourselves. I assumed it was your first name, so I gave you my first name in return. Forgive me if I was mistaken,” Maggie took a sip of water. 

“One name is all you need to know, dear. I’m happy we’re on a first name basis. However, I can address you otherwise if you deem it improper,” Taehyung offered.

The rest of the evening went on pleasantly. The meal was delicious, probably the best meal Maggie had ever had. She noticed that Taehyung’s meat was barely cooked, it was practically still raw. She decided not to mention it when she saw him happily gobble it down. Maggie also noticed that his red wine was thicker than what she was accustomed to seeing, but she figured it was a fancy alcohol that rich people drank. She didn’t want to embarrass herself by asking. 

Taehyung’s leg bounced quickly under the table. Maggie’s aroma grew more intense the longer he was with her. Her scent was intoxicating, and it took everything in his power not to take her then and there. He was in a conundrum. He took a liking to this spunky girl. He was torn. He didn’t know when to devour her, if to devour her at all. 

By the end of the night, he had decided. He’d keep her around for as long as he wanted, it wouldn’t be a big deal. He could easily end her life whenever he pleased anyway. The only thing he’d have to worry about was his self control. 

Taehyung and Maggie began to meet regularly. Taehyung would share the finer things in life with her. He’d take her to botanical gardens and fancy museums. In return, Maggie taught him everything she knew about medicine. She detested the use of cocaine as a common remedy, and preferred to make her own medicine. Taehyung accompanied her on her nightly rounds, he enjoyed every second he spent with her. 

It took about a year for Taehyung to officially court Maggie. She accepted, of course, and was now visiting Taehyung’s home for the first time. Home was an understatement. His mansion resided on a massive estate. 

A grand feast awaited Maggie. Her favorite dishes and desserts lined the dinner table, with Taehyung sitting at the opposite end. As Maggie dug into the food, she struggled to hold her tongue. A question had been lingering on her mind for quite some time now.

“Is everything alright, Miss Maggie? Is the food inadequate?” Taehyung asked from across the room. 

“The food is delicious, probably the best I’ve ever had. Your kitchen staff must be very talented,” Maggie shook her head. 

“Ah, I have no staff here. I’m glad you enjoy the food, it was all made by me,” Taehyung said proudly. 

“You take care of this entire property by yourself?” Maggie’s jaw dropped in shock.

“It’s tough sometimes, and lonely. I suppose I could hire one person to help out,” Taehyung lifted his eyebrows at Maggie. 

“M-me? I’m not really a good cook but--”

“You don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to. As you can see, I have more rooms than I know what to do with. You’re welcome to stay here with me for as long as you like,” Taehyung offered.

“Can you answer one question for me first, Mr. Taehyung?” Maggie asked tentatively. 

“Ask me anything,” Taehyung smiled.

“Are...are you ill?” Maggie looked at him with concern, “Please don’t take any offense. I noticed that we only meet in the evenings or when it’s a cloudy day. And I know that you have a predilection for barely cooked meats, and I’m sure eating raw things isn’t good for you. Also when we first met I thought rich people just had fancy alcohol but I can never see anyone drinking the same concoction as you whenever we eat at restaurants,” she rambled. 

“My my, aren’t you observant,” Taehyung’s lips twisted into an amused smile, “Are you afraid of monsters?”

“Monsters aren’t real,” Maggied quickly answered, annoyed that he deflected her questions. 

“Are you sure about that? Think carefully. I only go out at night or under cloud cover. I prefer my meat raw. I drink a rather strange red liquid that you should be very familiar with since you tend to the drunkards who are bound to get into fights down in the slums,” Taehyung toyed with her. 

“What? Do you expect me to believe that you’re some sort of vile creature that drinks blood?” Maggie laughed nervously.

In an instant, Taehyung’s chair was vacant as he menacingly stood over Maggie, “That is precisely the truth. Have you heard of vampyres?” he licked his lips.

Maggie was too frightened to move. Surely her eyes were playing tricks on her? Her eyes narrowed in on the fangs Taehyung bared as he smiled eerily down at her. 

 “I’ve heard of them. The people in the slums are terrified of being sucked dry, claiming that people wandering alone at night have a death wish. I thought they were just delusional,” panic gripped Maggie, “Were you going to eat me the first night we met?” 

“I desperately wanted to. You know the irresistible and mouth watering smell of a bakery in the morning? That’s what you smell like to me, only ten times more alluring and potent,” Taehyung nodded.

“Then why haven’t you yet?” Maggie questioned. 

“Because, my dear Miss Maggie, I am a fool. I have taken a liking to you. As you can imagine, being an immortal being gets lonely. You’ve provided me with more joy and entertainment than I’ve had in a while. At this point, I’d rather have you stay alive,” he sighed. 

“So if I stayed here with you, you’d promise you’d never harm me?” Maggie attempted to calm her breathing.

“Of course, I would not touch a hair on your head. Unless you want me to,” he winked.

“You would make me into a vampyre?” Maggie’s eyes widened.

“I was hinting at a more carnal interaction, but I could do that as well. Do you want an immortal life?” Taehyung’s eyes wandered to her exposed neck. 

“No. Not if it costs others their lives. I must be crazy Mr. Taehyung. You’ve admitted that you’re a monster and yet I still feel safe with you. I would love to move in and keep you company, if you’ll have me,” Maggie smiled fondly. 

“You’re very strange, Miss Maggie. That’s not at all the reaction I thought you’d have, but I’m happy for it. Very well, you may stay here. I can help you bring your belongings tomorrow night,” Taehyung grinned. 

“I’m curious; were you born a vampyre?” Maggie piped up. Taehyung let out a hearty laugh. 

“No, I was a human once like you. I got into a scuffle with a nasty bloke in the 16th century. Rather than killing me, he gave me a far worse end. He turned me. I haven’t seen him to this day, but I’m sure the slimy bastard is still undead somewhere in the world,” Taehyung’s cheery face fell into a scowl. 

“16th century? You’re an old man!” Maggie exclaimed teasingly.

“But I have the physical body of a young man, that must count for something, Taehyung chuckled, “Come, I can escort you to your room.”

“Am I staying the night?” Maggie tilted her head.

“That was my assumption. You’re free to leave at any time,” Taehyung shrugged. 

“It’s just that...I’ve never left my family home. I’ve been pretty lonely since everyone died. I can’t imagine how you must feel…” she trailed off.

“You’ve helped me with that tremendously. I guess we’ve cured each other’s loneliness, yes?” Taehyung cupped his hands over Maggie’s.

It was the first time he had ever touched her. His fingers were ice cold, resembling the kind of cold only a corpse could possess. Instinctively, she took his hands in hers and attempted to blow warm air onto them. Taehyung knew it would never work, but he appreciated the gesture. He pulled her into a warm embrace. 

“Forgive me if this is inappropriate. You make me feel at ease,” Taehyung whispered. To his surprise, Maggie hugged him back tightly. She didn’t say anything, but her actions were clear enough. 

Taehyung sat in an armchair in his room reading a novel a couple hours after he bid Maggie goodnight. He was pleased with the outcome of the night’s events. He was honestly dreading the thought of having to kill Maggie if she were to run away screaming. He was glad things didn’t come to that. 

There was a knock on the door. With a wave of his hand the door swung open, revealing a sleepy Maggie on the other side. 

“I heard a strange noise and couldn’t fall back to sleep,” Maggie yawned. 

“Don’t lie,” Taehyung chided without looking up from his book. 

“I’ve never slept away from home before and being alone in that big room scares me,” Maggie admitted, her eyes cast down to the floor. 

“That’s what I thought. You’re welcome to use my bed. I’ll stay here while you sleep,” Taehyung finally looked up and kindly gestured to the large bed.

“Where’s your coffin?” Maggie asked as she wiggled into the sheets. 

“That’s a stereotype. Do I look like the type of guy who sleeps in a stuffy wooden coffin? Nonsense. However, there is soil from my hometown beneath the bed,” Taehyung tsked.

“Really?” Maggie’s eyes grew wide. 

“Nope. Go to bed, Miss Maggie,” Taehyung chuckled. 

“Care to join me?” Maggie asked as she stretched. 

“I’m not going to sleep--”

“Then neither am I! I’m practically wide awake now,” Maggie interrupted him. 

Taehyung put his book down and walked to the bed, opting to sit on the end, a respectable distance away from Maggie. They talked the night away. Now that Maggie had some time to process everything, she had a plethora of questions ranging from vampyres to fashion throughout the years. 

“So have you ever been married? Or in love?” Maggie probed. 

“Never been married. Have been in love a few times. As you can imagine they all ended in heartache. Truthfully, I’ve been questioning why I let myself get so attached to you,” Taehyung confessed. 

“I’m glad you did. Because I love you, Mr. Taehyung. I fell in love with your grace and intellect, and of course you’re extremely handsome. It’s okay if you don’t feel the same way about me, I just wanted to be candid with you before living together,” Maggie tugged at her hair. 

“Miss Maggie, I foolishly fell in love with you. You’d be one with the dirt by now if I hadn’t been so enthralled by you. Hm, that didn’t come out very romantic,” Taehyung shook his head before continuing, “The feeling is mutual. I know I can’t give you a normal marriage, but I promise to love you until the end.” 

Maggie crawled towards Taehyung and planted a soft kiss on his lips. Taehyung deepened the kiss as he pushed her flat onto the bed. Hands wandered. Giggles filled the air. Clothing fell to the ground. Soon, both beings were stark naked as they gazed into each other’s eyes. 

“Are you sure you want to go any further?” Taehyung asked.

“I want all of you inside me,” Maggie replied as she brought him in for another kiss.

Taehyung guided his dick to her entrance, patiently teasing it as he coated himself in her juices. Once he was drenched, he slowly slid into her, giving her time to adjust to his size. She let out soft moans as he went deeper. 

They laced their fingers together once he began to thrust. He started slowly, making sure she was enjoying herself. He wanted to enjoy all of her delicately, taking careful care not to break her. His prior flings with the whores in the brothels was different. He didn’t care about them, he used them solely for his own pleasure. But this time, he wanted to please Maggie. He was happy to see her eyes shut with pleasure as he picked up the pace. 

Taehyung placed his thumb on a certain little sensitive nub, making Maggie jump. Her eyes were blown out with lust as she arched her back. Taehyung worked her body perfectly, timing his thrusts with the clitoral stimulation. It didn’t take long for Maggie’s entire body to shake. 

“Tae-Taehyung I--”

“Go ahead. Just let it all out, Maggie,” Taehyung demanded. He accidentally let his power of persuasion slip into that statement. Maggie came on the spot, cumming all over his cock as she moaned. It wasn’t long after until Taehyung released his seed inside of her. 

Maggie’s chest heaved as she lay motionless on the bed. That was the most intense orgasm she’d ever had. Taehyung cleaned her up before tucking her back into the bed. Once he cleaned himself up, he joined her side. 

“Don’t worry about getting pregnant. I’m technically dead anyway,” he kissed her forehead before they both dozed off. 

Taehyung woke up the following evening to an empty bed. He searched the house, unable to find Maggie. He began to worry. Did she leave him to get help? Did she abandon him?

“Good morning! Sleep well?” Maggie called out to him as she walked through the front doors.

“Why were you outside?” Taehyung questioned quickly.

“Lemme show you,” Maggie took Taehyung’s hand and led him outside. She proudly showed off a patch of crudely repotted plants. She explained to him that she went into town to get a few. Since she’d save a couple lives here and there, some people felt indebted to her. She called on her favors and managed to wrangle up a couple flowers and herbs.

“I love the botanical garden you always take me to. I figured we can try and make our own here since you have so much space,” Maggie smiled.

“Do you garden often?” Taehyung asked while looking at the half wilted plants.

“Never have, but it can’t be that hard right? Just give them water and love. Just watch, this place will rival that fancy botanical garden,” a flicker of determination lit up in her eyes. 

Several happy years later, Maggie had kept her word. It had been ten wonderful years filled with merriment. Taehyung was not the man he was before. Maggie had softened his heart, and he was thankful for it. He accompanied her when she tended to the people in the slums, learning the art of medicine by her side. She even helped curb his bloodlust. Taehyung only fed on the people who were beyond help, or those who actively sought death. Maggie still didn’t like it, but of course that was out of her control. 

Taehyung’s arms were wrapped around Maggie as they admired their personal garden. It was a struggle at first, but they discovered that Taehyung had a godlike green thumb, and basically resurrected the plants back from the dead. With his guidance, Maggie was able to see her vision come true. 

One night, Taehyung had to leave the mansion for a few hours to meet with his business colleagues (he was a rather savvy businessman, being around for a couple hundred years does that to a person). Taehyung itched to return to Maggie’s side and barely paid attention to the meeting. She always claimed that she would be fine, it was only a couple hours after all. Even so, Taehyung worried about her. 

Finally the meeting was adjourned, and he was free to rush home. He found the front door unlocked upon his arrival. He gave the handle a quizzical look, he was sure that he had locked it. 

“Maggie? Where are you?” he called out. 

“Taehyung! Run away--” Maggie’s muffled scream came from the dining room. 

Two big men stood at either side of a tied up Maggie, who now had a black eye. One of the men held a knife to her throat, close enough to draw out an inkling of blood. 

“‘ello, Mr. Taehyung. Pleasure to make your acquaintance,” a third stout man with a thick cockney accent emerged from a corner of the room, “I’ll cut to the chase. You let us kill you, and the little missy gets to live. If you resist, she dies. Simple as that.”

“Who are you people? You’re making a huge mistake. I have connections all over the country that--”

“Spare us the horseshit. We know what you are, filthy vampyre,” the word rolled off the stout man’s tongue like a slur, “The VEC sent us. You know ‘em? Stands for ‘Vampyre Extermination Company’ it does. We’re the best they ‘av, so you might as well surrender now.”

“Oh you already know? Lovely, that saves me time,” Taehyung growled as he seemingly phased from where he stood over to Maggie (but vampyres can’t teleport, they just have super speed and can fly sometimes).

In the blink of an eye, he broke the neck of the man who held the knife and threw the other guy across the room. He quickly released Maggie, and hugged her tightly before returning to attack the intruders. He lifted the stout man by his neck and held him against the wall.

“You sure you’re the best? The VEC must be a pretty unsuccessful organization,” Taehyung taunted. 

“I told yous we should’ve just killed her in the first place and then ambushed him!” the stout man yelled to no one in particular. 

Taehyung sank his fangs into the man’s neck, before ripping out a piece. He was going to enjoy torturing him. It was what he deserved for harming his beloved Maggie. A gunshot went off, stopping Taehyung in the middle of his raging frenzy. 

Taehyung looked back in horror. Maggie held her bleeding stomach, sinking to the floor. The man he had thrown at the wall earlier was wielding a gun with a smirk on his face. Taehyung lost it. He ripped the assailant’s beating heart out from his chest.

He scrambled over to Maggie, cradling her in his arms. 

“That hurt,” she joked weakly.

“Shh, don’t speak. I have to get you to a doctor. I can carry you--”

“It’s too late. This wound is worse than most of what we’ve seen in the slums. I’m just sorry I have to leave you so soon,” a tear rolled down her cheek. 

“No! No please don’t leave me. There’s still time! I can turn you and we can be together forever,” Taehyung wept.

“You know I never wanted that. I’m sorry I’m being so selfish,” Maggie coughed  up blood, “I love you, Mr. Taehyung. Don’t ever forget that,” she said with her final breath. 

Taehyung held her until he saw the light leave her eyes. Anguish and sorrow filled his soul. He held her close and sobbed over her lifeless body. 

“You tricked her into lovin’ ya, eh? There’s no end to the wickedness of you bastards,” the stout man struggled to say as he drowned in his own blood.

Taehyung gently laid Maggie’s body on the floor and walked over to the stout man. He stepped on the man’s throat, crushing his windpipe and adding pressure to his gaping wound. The man’s eyes screamed in pain as Taehyung looked down at him blankly. 

“The VEC huh? I’ll remember that. I’ll see you in hell someday,” Taehyung spat as he trampled the man beneath him.  

Taehyung didn’t leave Maggie’s side for a week straight. He couldn’t bear to do anything; he didn’t want to admit that she was gone. His heart broke every time he saw her, but he couldn’t bring himself to move her. It wasn’t until her corpse was a bloated smelly mess that finally motivated Taehyung to move.

“I’m sorry I let you become this way, Miss Maggie,” Taehyung whispered as he carried the body out to the botanical garden. He buried her there, among her cherished plants. 

Taehyung fled his estate. The crime scene wasn’t discovered until a year later when his business associates came to check on him after he missed several meetings. 

Taehyung swore that he would never love again. Never open up again. And never ever, under any circumstances, interact with the VEC. As much as he wanted to tear the establishment apart, he knew Maggie would be against it. He couldn’t bear disappointing her, even in death.  

He settled down in a small unsuspecting town in a different country. He bought an abandoned property where he swore he’d live out the rest of his days quietly and peacefully.

Pacify her ~ jughead jones 

Prompt - inspired by the Melanie Martinez song pacify her, pairing - Jughead x reader 

notes - this is the first fic I've done based on a song i hope you all like it  Story - 

Tired blue boy walks my way, Holding a girls hand.  that basic bitch leaves finally, now i can take her man

You had been sat in pops talking with Archie about his newest song something he’d written about Jason blossom. It was incredible how he could write a song so well and fast. Veronica sat humming to herself learning her notes and lyrics. The ding of the bell made you look up seeing Jughead wearing his signature Gray beanie he was never without. You loved Jughead Jones but never told him as he never seemed interested in you and fearing if you told him your feelings he’d stop being friends. He saw you, smiling when he did, you smile back before seeing Betty behind him holding his hand as they walk to the booth you were sat at. You all squashed up making room for the couple. Pop brought over milkshakes and fries for you all. 

Betty and Veronica had been talking about a charity dance at the school for the past hour, still insure on a theme. Archie asking if he could perform now having found his confidence to perform in front of a crowd. Both you and jug rolled your eyes, not bothered about school social activities chatted about his book. You had offered to help him in any way you could, you mainly went with him when he wanted to talk to people about the night Jason disappeared, or read what he’d wrote giving your feedback. The two girls left to go gather and sort out decorations, Archie wanted to see Valarie work on a new song for the dance and ask if the Pussycats were willing to perform too. 

“drive in?” jug asked you with a smile. You nodded, happy to get away from the planning of the dance. “please” you said in a mocking exaggerated way like you were dying of boredom. You grabbed your stuff walking towards the door waving bye to pop.

  Someone told me stay away from things that aren’t yours But was he yours, if he wanted me so bad?

Outside you waited for Jug as Archie asked him for a word before you both left. Betty forgot her bag and ran back in you stood with Veronica.  The raven-haired girl eyed you suspiciously, “you do know they're going out now right?” Veronica said with a hint of sarcasm. You looked confused at her “yes, of course, I do why would you ask me that” you say back quite defensively. Ronnie stepped forward-looking in the window of pops to see where her friend was, “because you're always with him when she calls or visits, you're always there or he has plans with you! Also, don’t you think going back to Juggies alone is something you should do now he has a girlfriend?” her tone was accusing and her body language threatening but you didn’t let it bother you. Instead you smirked “look me and jug have been best friends since forever I don’t think Betty has anything to worry about” you stepped closer looking Ronnie right in the eye “and if Betty has a problem with me watching a movie with Jughead just like I have done for the past 10 years then she can come and tell me” you walked away smiling at Betty as she left pops. You stood on your toes seeing jug and Archie talking so sat on the wall listing to your music waiting for your them.

Archie waited for Betty to leave before he spoke: “jug I’m happy for you and Betty but are you sure that’s who you truly want?” Jughead looked at his mate confused, although he knew exactly what Archie was talking about he didn’t want to have the conversation. “why are you asking me that?” jug quizzed still intrigued to what the redhead meant. “since the 3rd grade you have had a crush on y/n and all of a sudden your loved up with Betty” Archie paused to think of what to say next “because if I didn’t know any better I’d say this was a way to make y/n jealous but you know your only going to push her away”. Jughead closed his eyes he knew everything Archie was saying had some truth he did love y/n but couldn’t keep crushing on her and be friends, the reason he was with Betty was to try shut down any feels for the beautiful y/h/c girl. “it’s not like that look there waiting let’s go” jug sternly told his friend walking to the doorway heading home you followed not sure if you should ask what had been said.

Pacify her She’s getting on my nerves You don’t love her Stop lying with those words

You sat with jug as and watched your favourite movie one you had both watched a thousand times but still loved, as one of your favorite parts came up you both looked at each other acting out the lines. It had been an hour and Betty had messaged jug at least 8 times. Jughead had looked but not replied to any, pressing pause on the movie you turned to him “what’s wrong?” you say knowing something was off with him. Jug tried to play it cool, “nothing,” he said giving you a smile trying to take the remote back to play the rest of the movie. Pulling your arm back so he missed you looked him in the eyes “so why did you have a face like a smacked ass when you left pops or blanking Betty’s messages” you laugh hoping he would tell you what was in his mind. Jughead huffs “she wants to go to this dance as a couple and then to Cheryl’s house after”. He mimics Betty “the whole school will be there and I want to show off my boyfriend”. You both start laughing at it, “oh just go! you kind of have to now your dating and under the thumb can’t say no” you teased tried your hardest to hide the hurt or jealousy in your voice. Jughead rolled his eyes “I’m not under anything” you raised your eyebrows “look just go keep her happy it will shut her up, and me and Archie will be there too besides you can’t say no to the girl next door” you order more then tell him.

Jughead nodded taking his phone calling Betty “hello” he said waiting for her to talk “okay I’ll go the stupid dance but I’m not going to Cheryl’s party it’s not happening” he said smirking at you to show that she can’t always boss him around, you couldn’t hear what Betty said but Jugheads face frowned “yeah I love you too”you froze at his fast mumbled words, you weren’t ready to hear that, it was hard enough trying to except them together, seeing them hold hands without hearing him tell her he loved her. You watched as he listened again to his blonde girlfriend he tugs and plays with his hair and ear, you had known jug over ten years it was something he only did when he was lying. A little bit of hope sparked inside you had he just lied when he told her he loved her you thought watching him say goodbye. You both sat back to watch the movie, you looked up at him gazing at the small TV screen thinking how gorgeous he was wishing you could tell him how you really felt.

I can’t stand her whining Where’s her binky now? And loving her seems tiring So boy, just love me, down, down, down

The dance had been what every dance at school was like, music laughing some drinking. You had had a nice time you danced with Archie Veronica and even Jughead looked happy for the first time in weeks. Tired you went and sat with him, “she not made you dance yet?” you ask getting you drink. “no so don’t jinx me” he laughed watching Betty dance with Veronica. The night was almost over Betty had finally asked and gotten jug to dance to which he looked miserable during. You sat laughing and pulling tongues at him when he looked at you, but you truly hated the sight of them slow dancing. After the song, the whole group came back talking about Cheryl’s party. Archie, Betty, and Veronica were all talking jug into going. “come jug come with us” Archie’s voice shouted over the music “it’s not my thing” he grumbled. Betty sat with her hand on his leg “please it’s not going to be the same without you there” she winked at him. Jug looked at her really not wanting to go but knew he’d never get out of it agreed, he looked at you as you rolled your eyes laughing into your drink.  

The girls left the table to go and help set the stage for the pussycats big finish. Val came over to tell Archie Josie had agreed to sing one of his songs before there’s. Archie jumped up to get his guitar leaving you alone with jug.  You laughed shaking your head at him, “your so under the thumb” you said before mimicking Jugheads voice “I’m not going to Cheryl’s party” jug just smiled at you “what are you laughing for your coming too” he said making your face drop. “and why would I do that?” you asked “because while one of us is distracting everyone the other can look around for clues to what happened to Jason” he smirked. He was right it was the best and only chance you both had to get inside blossom manor, while jug was with Betty you could sneak about and find something for Jughead’s book.

You danced and sang with jug, Betty and Veronica to Archie’s song and once the Pussycats were finished you all headed to Cheryl’s after party. The party at the blossoms was different to the dance at school all rules where out, everyone was drinking and partying. You had tried to escape to look around but each time you had been seen by someone who wanted to talk or was already going that way. Even Jughead was having a hard time finding a way to escape Betty. “let’s play a game!” you heard Cheryl’s voice boom over everyone. Groaning you sat with your friends as Cheryl called everyone over. “7 minutes in heaven is always a fun game” she said with a evil twisted smile. You knew Cheryl that smile meant trouble, though you didn’t expect you to be a target tonight. After 3 pairs had already been picked you desperately wanted to leave, you didn’t care about clue hunting or juggies book. “y/n andddd” you froze when you heard the redhead say your name, she extended the sound of the ‘and’ as she looked for a partner “Wednesday Addams” you heard Reggie shout as he walked out of the closet with Ethel. “yes y/n and Jughead” Cheryl squeals with delight. 

You looked at jug who didn’t really know what to do, he stood up to leave but Reggie and two other boys stood in the way of the door. “your not leaving until you’ve played” Cheryl sassed at him. 

Jughead looked at Betty who sadly smiled at him, “just go juggle it’s 7 minutes with your friend what’s the worst that can happen” she said in her sweetly voice. Jug rolled his eyes walking to the cupboard you quietly stood up following him. You wasn’t going to lie you wanted something like this to happen for years, you and Jughead matched up in childish game to maybe have a chance to kiss him, show or tell him how you felt, but you couldn’t help but feel disappointed that he was going out with Betty so anything you had always wanted to do was now off the cards.

The door slammed behind you as you squeezed in. It was clear something was up with him “what are we even doing here” he mumbled to himself, you laughed “playing 7 minutes in heaven I think” you smirked at him. Jug smiled back at you moving a little find room in the small space. His phone buzzed in his pocket, Betty had texted him but annoyed he didn’t read it but looked angry she was messaging him after less then a minute. “you know if you're unhappy with her you can just end it” you say looking at his eyes lit up by the phone light. He frowned at you “why who says I’m unhappy?” He asked. You smirk at him “how about your face, body language” judgment looked confused “don’t give that look” you whisper shouted at him “you look sick and tired all the time you have a look of annoyance when she texts you if your happy then your not only lying to Betty and your friends but to yourself as well” you said annoyed turning to walk out thinking screw what Cheryl or anyone else says. You stopped when you felt jug grab your arm, “wait your right I’m lying” he admitted low.

Turning folding your arms to hear what else he had to say, he pulled off his beanie fiddling with the button, “I like Betty I do, but she’s not the girl I love” he said looking nervous, you made a small huh noise. The confusion was clear on your face it made Jughead chuckle “for someone so smart you can be so dumb” he stepped closer to you, in his mind he knew if he didn’t say anything now he never would “it's you y/n your the girl I love” before you could speak his lent down and kissed you.

In that second you forgot everything that was going on his words running in your mind, it was everything you had dreamed of and more. Moving your arms around him pulling him closer in the lowest whisper to say “I love you too” then kiss him back more intensely then his.

  Someone told me stay away from things that aren’t yours But was he yours, if he wanted me so bad? Pacify her She’s getting on my nerves You don’t love her Stop lying with those words

Neither of you heard Cheryl shout “time” or the door open. You and Jughead quickly pulled apart from your kiss when the sudden flash of light and sound of gasps or whoops came from everyone looking. The first face you saw was Betty’s, her bottom lip quivers as she stirred blankly at you both. “I always said jug and y/n was endgame,” Kevin said louder then he meant too. Betty ran out of the room and upstairs to Polly’s room. Instead of running after her jug just put his hat back on and left with Archie running after him.

You walked out of the closet with Cheryl’s saying something you didn’t really hear. You sat on the chair with your head in your hands, Veronica came over and sat next to you and quietly spoke “I thought you were only friends I told you the other day they were a thing and Betty loved him” her voice was calm but angry like it was a warning of some form. “leave it out Veronica” you said You could hear Reggie shouting across the room “you can kiss me like that any day y/n” with that you stood up to leave.

Archie finally caught up with Jughead at the front door. “jug, man what’s going on what was that?” he asked his friend. Jug paced up and down frustrated with himself torn between his feelings “I don’t know” was all he said back taking more steps “Betty saw what I’m I going to do” he blurted out looking at his friend for advice “I don’t know who you want to be with is only something you can answer” Archie told him sincerely. Jug sat on a chair hiding his face in his beanie “I like Betty she’s kind, sweet but y/n, is amazing funny gets me knows what I want before I do. Truly makes me smile, she’s…. ” Archie finished his sentence “the girl you’ve only ever wanted” jug nodded knowing what Archie said was true. Betty walked down the stairs with a pregnant Polly close behind her she had heard what the boys had said feeling crushed but not surprised by her boyfriend's revelation. The jug was thinking of what to say to Betty how to apologize when you walked out. You stopped waiting for someone to move or speak, Betty walked down the remaining steps, “you have to choose Jughead” she said looking at him. Jug stood there looked between you both wishing the ground would open swallowing him up. He looked at Betty and was about to speak, you couldn’t stand there and watch him choose her over you, you could feel your eyes filling up so before anyone could see you cry you ran out the blossoming home without hearing what he said.

Back inside Jughead watched y/n run out he could see her crying as she ran past. “Betty I’m really sorry,” he said. Betty closed her eyes nodding knowing that he did love y/n. Jughead looked at Archie who waved his hands telling Jughead to go after y/n. He ran outside and couldn’t see you anywhere, walking towards the gate he spun around looking feeling pissed at himself for upsetting you. He took his phone out his pocket finding your number, calling it. You saw his call but didn’t answer it, you couldn’t talk to him in the broken mess you felt. Jughead heard your ringtone and followed the sound finding you sitting on the grass, leaned against a tree. At first, he didn’t speak just quietly sat next to you. Wiping your face you didn’t look up at him, you looked at the ground trying to stop the silent tears. “if you had stayed you would of heard my answer” he said looking at you waiting for you to look back at him. when you did he was smiling, you felt his hand rest over yours curling his fingers around “you I chose you y/n, I’ve always wanted you to be mine” you widen your eyes searching for any hint of a lie. When you didn’t answer he bent forward kissing you “y/n will you be mine?” He asked as he gently rubbed his nose across yours “yes” you say giving him a small kiss back. Jughead stood up and held out his hand helping you up “wanna get out of here?” He said more than asked, “definitely” you smile wide, he put his arm around your shoulder as you both walked home.

Personal

Looking for Love -Okay, I won't try to make this too long, but I can't do it in three lines. Long term relationships, I've found, take time to build. Courting is easy. I am open to either. I would like to add, though, that I've reached a point in my life where the idea of settling down into a long term, committed thing appeals to me. If I've caught your interest, just tell me upfront what you seek and we'll build the foundation differently. My history. My name is Alistandra, but I strongly prefer to be called Ali. I was engaged, years ago, to a dedicated soldier who gave her life to the Alliance. Since then, I've dipped my toe into the pool of romance, but nothing has quite stuck. I was born in Stormwind, and raised there, in a heavily military influenced environment. Both my mother and father were very successful in the Alliance military until my mother passed last year, and my father retired shortly after. As such, I chose to follow in their footsteps. I was elated when the Light chose me to be it's hand and I take my duty as a paladin and a knight very seriously. I would like to find someone that shares a similar history, but I am open to those who have chosen other paths. I have no children, but I would like them in the future. If you have them, please don't allow that to stop you from reaching out to me.  I would like to find someone who is financially stable, relatively easy on the eyes - looks aren't everything -, someone to make me laugh, can read between the lines. If you've found that you connected with anything stated above, you can often find me in Cathedral Square. I look forward to meeting you. -Ali

[multi-muse-transect]

An Empress and a Princess.

AU: An accident happens leading to an interdimensional mix up of unusual proportions. Mira Wren Bridger, leader of the First Order meets Mira Wren Bridger, Jedi Padawan. The two have a talk in the dinner table. As always, Mira belongs to @meldy-arts. @hotsam1 @eyeloch @angies-team

The house of the supreme leader is a very modest one unlike Snoke’s.  Mira’s home is an almost minimalist house that is located in the snowy woods. It is guarded by Imperial sentry droids and dark troopers alongside some drones patrolling the perimeter around the house. The house has two rooms, one guest and the other obviously belongs to the supreme leader. The living room has a fireplace with a TV hovering over it alongside a rug on the ground. The door windows show the backyard. In front of the TV and fireplace is a a couch. 

Inside the kitchen is supreme leader Bridger aka Mira Wren Bridger making some hot chocolate for her.....Unexpected visitor. It all began when the leader approved for a new transportation test for troopers to come in easily to the battlefield but an unexpected result happened-It ripped space and time and brought someone from a different world, a different universe.....herself. Sitting on a chair in front of a table and looking at her with hateful eyes is her counterpart, (Padawan) Mira or what she dubs, teen Mira. (Supreme leader) Mira is wearing a standard black sweater and pants also has shortened hair while her alternate self has long and somewhat wild looking hair also wearing armor similar to her mother.

It was awkward when they met, she killed like two stormtroopers and also almost killed captain Phasma but she stopped her via force push. (Padawan) Mira hated her other self, being the leader of the First Order and wondered what happened to her family unless they’re dead of course. She would never see herself as a member of the First Order but here she stands as their leader. She hasn’t even spoken since the supreme leader decided to take care of her.  (Supreme leader) Mira finishes up the drinks and walks towards her counterpart then sits in front of her. (Padawan) Mira looks at the hot chocolate suspiciously in front of her as (Supreme leader) Mira drinks some in front of her then pulling out her Nintendo switch to play some Battlefront. (Padawan) Mira pulls at her lightsaber through the force as it flies towards her but her counterpart catches it immediately much to her annoyance. She sighs knowing that this is herself she is dealing with here and she could probably tell her moves.

“.....So what are you doing to do with me? Seduce me to the dark side? Torture me to death through boredom?” (Padawan) Mira asks.

“No, just here to watch you.” (Supreme leader) Mira replied as sounds of blaster fire are heard on her Nintendo switch. She’s simply killing time until someone finds a solution so she can go away and she can spend time with her secret wife, Blare. 

“For a supreme leader, you don’t seem to act like you’re....Supreme.” She suspiciously asks her.

“Uh-huh. I’m not like Snoke or Palpatine. I do what’s best for the First Order evidenced by the news articles you’ve read about me back at the base.” (Supreme leader) Mira replied as she dodges an incoming blaster shot in the game. She is now on a hundred killstreak armed with her favorite in-game weapon, the bo-rifle. The force has its perks in terms of gaming. 

“Anti-corruption speeches, donations to charity, assisting in New Republic operations, corruption busting, etc, etc.....Oh now I get it! You’re trying to bore me to death! That must be your dark side power.” The padawan joked while (Supreme leader) Mira rolls her eyes and drinks some hot chocolate.

“You should try the hot chocolate before it gets cold. Its one of the best.” She advised.

“Its probably laced in cyanide. I know you Imperials.” (Padawan) Mira smirked. She looks around her environment then turns her eyes to the supreme leader.

“You’re free to walk around my house.” (Supreme Leader) Mira replied. (Padawan) Mira gets up from her chair and checks the place out. She lands on the couch and turns on the TV to show that its showing the Immortal and the Restless causing her to roll her eyes to switch it to Five Nights at Teddy’s. (Padawan) Mira turns to the stand the lamp is on to see portraits. Some are medals, pictures with old squad mates, a black haired woman.....Her family. (Padawan) Mira picks up the portrait of the family of her counterpart. Her father looks older alongside her mother, in the center is (Supreme leader) Mira next to Zeb but the thing that catches her eye the most is the same woman in a wedding dress.

She is soon caught off guard by (Supreme Leader) Mira sitting next to her as she switches the show to the Walking Rakghoul though its a rerun. 

“So tell me about yourself.” (Supreme leader) Mira said.

“Myself? Why?” (Padawan) Mira asks.

“I want to explore the possibilities of what my life could have been.” She explained. 

“Well explain yourself then! I mean, I could imagine myself as the leader of a murderous organization turned passive-aggressive.” The padawan countered. (Supreme Leader) Mira stops for a moment then turns to her with a sympathetic look on her face but sighs.

“.....My father and mother left me behind to a friend named Ketsu Onyo since they went off to fight the First Order. The place was a village in Carlac, snowy and very calm. But....That peace came to an end when Deathwatch came in and the First Order came to bring law and order to the planet. The village was Deathwatch’s last stand and the final battle took place there. A soldier found out who I was and chased me as I separated from Ketsu. Captain Phasma saved me though and was under the impression my parents are dead alongside Ketsu. She took me in afterward.” (Supreme Leader) Mira explained.

“And you became a stormtrooper.....” (Padawan) Mira sadly hangs her eyes.

“Yes I did but....I was raised different from the other troopers. I didn’t feel different though. I felt like every other trooper. Just an extension of the First Order and weapon. But unlike them, I had compassion for others and even go as far as to save another friend and spare an enemy if necessary unless he or she tried to kill me. Something was different about me and I didn’t know it....I realized what it was: I was a person. Unlike the other troopers, I had autonomy and even have a sense of identity like them. Heck I even got into a relationship....” (Supreme Leader) Mira sighs and half chuckles.

“It was the woman in the picture from years ago wasn’t it?” 

‘No, no....It was a scavenger named Rey. I met her during my tour at Jakku after captain Phasma assigned me to the planet. We...We interloped as in....You’re a teenager, you would know. But I loved her with all my heart and wanted to protect her from my duties from the First Order, fearing the Resistance would use her against me. So I broke up with her....” She explained as (Padawan) Mira look in pity. From thinking she was another Snoke or Natasi Dala to a woman who sacrificed everything for her duties.

“You still love her don’t you?” (Padawan) Mira asks.

“There wasn’t any moment I thought of her. Even when I was put into the First Order Rescue and Intelligence division. But I knew she would be happy without me too, that she would find another woman that wouldn’t be a danger to her. Soon I found myself as an agent who protected the innocent and served the people....But Snoke....Snoke called me in. He said that I was honorably discharged from the First Order. For the first time in my life I was....I was useless. I wandered the galaxy and became a bounty hunter, it wasn’t my option if I wanted to survive. I thought she was better off without me....It wasn’t until Kyle Katarn found me.” The woman explained.

“And so we found my future wife and we a lot of crazy things to find my parents who were in Lothal at the time. I fought the First Order....I fought the people who saved me and the friends I made. Like always, the bad guys lose and the good guys win. But something caught me off guard though....”

“It was this job wasn’t it?” (Padawan) Mira replied.

“It turns out that Snoke....saw some kind of potential for me. A test given since my induction.....If I reached it then I would become the Supreme Leader. Phasma told me since it was part of a protocol in case Snoke dies and Thrawn takes over but if Thrawn is killed also, then I’m in charge. But this test was a failure....Phasma saw the survival of the Imperial ways through me so I took it. I wanted to save my other family....my brothers, my sisters.....This wasn’t the future I wanted but I didn’t want the First Order falling apart. So I did, I became the leader of the First Order. Seeing how powerful we are, I decided it was best for me to have a seat in the senate as I lead the First Order.”  She ended with a smile.

“.....So is it true that the Imperial march plays every time you walk?” The teen asks causing her to softly chuckle. 

“From what I can gather, you are me from a world where I stayed with my parents. It must be.....A very good experience.” (Supreme Leader) Mira observed. 

“My parents care a lot about me....Sometimes too much but they mean well. Does your parents.....”

“Oh they do care about me big time. Always worrying about my job and my duties, though I accomplish my role as a daughter by calling them.” The Imperial answered. The two hear a knock on the door causing her to get up and open the door to reveal Blare Wren Bridger in her typical Jedi robes.

“Those dark troopers scare the living daylights out of me, you should replace them with Imperial infiltration droids.” Blare suggested.

“At least they won’t shoot you.” (Supreme leader) Mira replied before she enters. Blare hangs up her robes revealing her standard Jedi outfit. She heads to the living room with (Padawan) Mira looking at her.

“So how’s the lovely supreme leader that is my wife doing?~” Blare flirted to (Padawan) Mira mistaking her for her wife.

“Um....I think you’re talking to the wrong Mira.” (Padawan) Mira blushed causing Blare to blink her eyes and turn around to see (Supreme leader) Mira then realizing the age gap between them. 

“Oh sweet Ashla!” Blare cried in panic realizing she was flirting with a teenager much to her horror. 

“I’m so so sorry! You both look the same....Sort of!” She apologized.

“Its okay.” The Padawan replied while rubbing the back of her head. Blare sighs then looks back at (Supreme leader) Mira. 

“So what did the supreme leader of the First Order whip up for dinner today?” Blare asks her before (Supreme Leader) Mira walks to the kitchen. 

“Bantha steak soup with a side of garlic bread.” (Supreme leader) Mira replied in a British accent parodying Orson Krennic before opening the fridge to reveal the now ready meal. All she has to do is boil the soup. The Imperial uses the force to turn on the stove which lights up as she focuses her energy to lift the entire soup from its place then dunks it into the into the pot that is placed on the active stove. It begins to boil as (Supreme Leader) Mira places the garlic bread into the microwave. She checks her watch then the soup right before deactivating the stove then uses a spoon to taste it.

“Hm...It tastes just right!” (Supreme leader) Mira picks the pot up and places it on the table as (Padawan) Mira and Blare sit on their respective seats while (Supreme leader) Mira places a bowel and place on each spot. She then gets the garlic bread before sitting on her table and using the serving spoon to pour some soup into her bowl.  The two do the same as (Padawan) Mira has a sip....The flavor is very inciting 

“Wow, who knew the supreme leader can cook!” (Padawan) Mira complemented.

“Its a skill I learned from my mother.” (Supreme Leader) Mira replied before heading an ahem from Blare.

“And from my wife.” She added. 

“So I heard reports of an accident that caused her to enter our world.” Blare observed (Padawan) Mira. 

“By her age, she looks old enough to look like our daughter.” The Imperial said before sipping some water.

“Oh please.” (Padawan) Mira sassed. 

“And the thought of having kids is last in her list.” Blare smirked.

“Hey! I think about having children.....sometimes.....” (Supreme Leader) Mira replied while looking her eyes away. 

“Uh-huh, you think about it in your office when you get home..” The Jedi replied.

“Blare Wren Bridger, I would make a death star for you my love. So if you want to have kids then we shall have children.” (Supreme Leader) Mira countered. Blare smiles at her wife before having another sip of the soup.

“So what’s it like being supreme leader? Do you over dramatic speeches and all?” (Padawan) Mira asks her.

“It’s.....Lonely but sometimes you remember the things you fight for and also you hang around the higher ups of the First Order and maybe also play the occasional trash can basketball. Also the traditional giant hologram thing, I use it for private sessions.” (Supreme Leader) Mira explained her position. 

“You know, you should train at Luke’s order. There’s always a spot for you there.” Blare told (Padawan) Mira.

“Thanks for the offer but no thanks.....I already got my Jedi training from my dad.”  (Padawan) Mira replied. The group continues to eat their meal while (Padawan) Mira looks at her alternate self and how compassionate she is. (Supreme Leader) Mira notices that something is wrong with her.

“Something the matter? You seem awfully down.” 

“It’s just....I’m surprised and all. I thought you were some Imperial warlord but you act just exactly like me if I was an adult. Now I’m here having dinner with the supreme leader and her wife....It just feels-” (Padawan) Mira said.

“Odd? Yes I know it is...I swore to change the First Order for the better after all. With a new face and a new way of thinking....Mira, I have some advice for you. I don’t know if this will happen but one day you will be a leader and at the same time, you’ll be conflicted. But no matter what in the end, you are still you. Do not let some mindset change who you are.” (Supreme Leader) Mira advised to her younger self. 

“And that’s why I fell in love with you in the first place.” Blare added with a warm smile. (Supreme Leader) Mira looks at Blare and her other self, how they looked like a family to her....The wise supreme leader having children. 

Night falls on the Bridger household. It was an eventful night, how (Padawan) Mira got along with herself and Blare at the same time. (Supreme leader) Mira finishes her list to do tomorrow as she sends the memo to her infiltrator droid who is her assistant. She spots (Padawan) Mira sleeping on the couch and she looks cold....(Supreme Leader) Mira has an idea.

She takes her cape that is hung up on the rack and walks towards her. The Imperial places the cape on the sleeping Jedi-to-be before heading off to her room where Blare is sleeping.

(Supreme Leader) Mira and (Padawan) Mira stand beside each other in front of the gate that is opening. Hux has been informed that the other universe’s Bridger family has contacted them beyond the portal. (Padawan) Mira will miss being around her other self, how wise she was and almost like her father and maybe miss the food she makes. (Supreme Leader) Mira is wearing a white grand admiral uniform and white cape while (Padawan) Mira is wearing her typical armor.

Heading out of the gate is Ezra, Sabine, Kanan, Zeb, Hera, and Dawn. But not the ones she knows. The death troopers guarding (Supreme Leader) Mira aim there blasters at them but she signals them to stand down. (Padawan) Mira runs up to them and hugs Ezra. Ezra smiles then looks back at (Supreme Leader) Mira.

“Mom....Dad.” (Supreme Leader) Mira greeted. Ezra looks sadly at the supreme leader knowing a position like that can mess a person up due to loneliness.

“Mira....” Sabine replied.

“.....You raised a good child.” She spoke.

“Mira.....You can come with us. This isn’t you.....” Kanan pleaded.

“No....In this world, I have two families. The family that helped me survive and my real family. But thank you anyway....” (Supreme leader) Mira smiled. (Padawan) Mira looks back at her for a moment.

“And I also have responsibilities, keeping the galaxy safe and all by cooperating with the New Republic, that sort of thing.” She continued. Ezra sighs knowing that this Mira has good in her.

“Well I hope we meet again.” Ezra nodded. (Padawan) Mira then runs up and shares a hug with the supreme leader catching her off guard. She is surprised as first but realizes that this could have been her, so she hugs her in response. (Padawan) MIra lets go and walks away with her family into the portal as it closes leaving a still smiling (Supreme Leader) Mira.

Looking for Love -

Okay, I won't try to make this too long, but I can't do it in three lines. Long term relationships, I've found, take time to build. Courting is easy. I am open to either. I would like to add, though, that I've reached a point in my life where the idea of settling down into a long term, committed thing appeals to me. If I've caught your interest, just tell me upfront what you seek and we'll build the foundation differently. My history. My name is Alistandra, but I strongly prefer to be called Ali. I was engaged, years ago, to a dedicated soldier who gave her life to the Alliance. Since then, I've dipped my toe into the pool of romance, but nothing has quite stuck. I was born in Stormwind, and raised there, in a heavily military influenced environment. Both my mother and father were very successful in the Alliance military until my mother passed last year, and my father retired shortly after. As such, I chose to follow in their footsteps. I was elated when the Light chose me to be it's hand and I take my duty as a paladin and a knight very seriously. I would like to find someone that shares a similar history, but I am open to those who have chosen other paths. I have no children, but I would like them in the future. If you have them, please don't allow that to stop you from reaching out to me.  I would like to find someone who is financially stable, relatively easy on the eyes - looks aren't everything -, someone to make me laugh, can read between the lines. If you've found that you connected with anything stated above, you can often find me in Cathedral Square. I look forward to meeting you. -Ali

The Amberstaff Coalition, based out of Ambermill in Silverpine Forest, is an organization of mages and martials devoted to studying, teaching, and working with magic to protect and serve Azeroth. Our goal is to provide a welcoming refuge to magi while finding and ridding the world of fel casters, though within a controlled environment we have studied the practice of minor demonology. Our martials provide our first line of defense for Amberstaff, protecting the magi who may not have enough experience to protect themselves.

If you are interested in learning about magic, striving to gain control over your powers, or wish to use your skills to protect others, seek out an Amberstaff member today. We are ready to see you reach your full potential.

(OOC Note: The Amberstaff Coalition is a caster-based guild that has an additional tree for the martials. We host weekly classes in which we are training magi to become wizards of our order, able to act upon and study the majority of all schools of magick. We partner with several other guilds for RP in the Isles and elsewhere around the worlds. We are accepting all classes, contact one of us for more information -Helarsar, for those with magical aspiration or Aacer for those with more fighter type attributes.)
