What if the reader has been bugging Craig to trim his facial hair and he finally says that if she wants it done, she has to do it. So they go into the bathroom and she makes him sit down so she can reach his face (activate size kink). She straddles his lap to trim his beard and when she's done he ends up playfully picking her up and manhandling her into the shower (no points for guessing where I got that from 😏).

Out of the corner of your eye, you shot Craig next to you a glance. Both of you were busy brushing your teeth and the only sound present was the scrubbing of plastic bristles between your jaws.
“What?” He huffed, pausing in his movement for a moment whilst meeting your assessing gaze.
“Your beard.” You stated bluntly, pulling the toothbrush from your mouth, ready to spit the amalgamation of liquified toothpaste and saliva into the sink below.
“What’s with that?” His eyebrows knit together in a slight wave of confusion as he watched you emptying your mouth before flushing it with a cap of mouthwash right after.
“It’s…uhm, it’s kinda grown a bit, don’t you think?” You turned your head to look at him again, dollops of frothed-up, minty toothpaste splattered all throughout that hairy monstrosity covering the lower half of his face.
“And?” Craig pushed, still not really getting the notion of what you were on about.
“It looks dirty…it’s giving a little homeless, Craig.” A grin formed around your lips as you watched his facial expression render into a small pout.
Following you, he cleared his mouth from the toothpaste and placed the brush back into a cup, where it awaited its next use right next to yours.
“Just a little homeless, yeah?” Craig playfully nudged your side with his elbow.
“No actually, it’s giving full-on caveman style… Viking wildman unkempt.” It fell from your mouth in a chuckle although you meant every word of it.
“Uh-huh..”, He gathered some water from the faucet in the curved palm of his broad hand to wash the leftover toothpaste residue out of his beard, “And you are so incredibly bothered by that, yeah? Am I getting that right?”
With a soft smile ghosting over his lips, Craig cocked an eyebrow at you whilst still leaning over the sink, droplets of water cascading through the scruffy mess of chestnut-brown facial hair.
“Yes, in fact, you are getting that right.” You stated, reciprocating that little pout and crossing your arms in front of your chest.
“Well, if you feel so unspeakably distressed by the pure manliness in my face you better be the one to trim it because I, for sure, won’t.” He shut the faucet off, throwing you a teasing glance.
“Be my guest, Craig!”, He didn’t need to hand you that invitation twice, “Let me grab them scissors while you sit down right here.”
You pointed your head toward the wide edge of the bathtub behind you before you leaned down to fish for a pair of barber-grade scissors from the drawer below the sink. On occasion, you used them to cut your own hair, a little thing you’d taught yourself during the seemingly endless lockdowns not so long ago.
“Okay, okay, Miss Beard-Police.” In an amicable mocking manner, Craig threw his hands up a little whilst walking past you to take a seat on the edge of the bathtub. 
Even in a sitting posture, Craig was tall. Stupidly tall as you liked to call it at times. His broad shoulders easily cupped your frame when he hugged you and getting on your toes for a kiss barely helped. 
“Don’t be such a pussy about it, Craig, it just needs a good trim and some shape to it. It’s not like I wanna cut it all off.” You stated in a gentle chuckle, your brows furrowing at the thought of where to start with this eyesore.
“I’m not a pussy about it.”, He taunted you playfully, “May I remind you that you never, not once complained about this piece of art in my face when you sat on it, huh?”
“Uh…hearsay! Dismissed!” You shot right back, leaning in to twirl the chin section of his beard together to separate it from the rest.
“Pfft, dismissed…” Craig scoffed in amusement, rolling his eyes a little as he watched you doing your work. 
As soon as the middle part was sectioned off, you trimmed the outer sides first for a good few parts, cut-off bristles raining down all over his chest and collarbone. 
“Oh no…that feels like a lot..” He sighed play-pretend melodramatically, letting his shoulders hang loose.
“You sound like me at the hairdresser’s…pussy.” It rolled over your tongue in a quiet cackle.
“Daring today are we, hm?” Craig arched his brows at you whilst you straightened the middle part out again to match it in its length and form, acknowledging how much he treasured that grown-out goatee situation.
“Oh, are we feeling a lil’ triggered by your woman being in the right here, huh?” You pushed it further, administering some final snips to bring the whole thing together.
“There we go. All done and presentable again.” Satisfied with your work, you took a step back and placed the scissors on the sink.
With an uncertain expression on his face, Craig got up from the edge of the bathtub to take a look at himself in the mirror. For a moment, he studied his face, taking in the freshly cut and finely shaped form of his beard.
“It’s…hmhmm, it’s not too bad.” He concluded after a moment, turning his head towards you again. 
“See?” You nodded in agreement.
“But now…”, Craig started out before taking a wide step towards you to simply pick you from the tiles underneath your bare feet, “I got all those flimsy, cut-off hairs on me and that calls for a shower now, no?”
A halfway laughed-out shriek fell from your lips as you recognized his buff arms raising you off the floor, heaving you right into the tub before he stepped in himself. 
“Come here..” He pulled you right under the showerhead with him, opening up the faucet for a stream of comfortably cool water to wash over your bodies. 
Although the days neared the end of summer, the humid Californian heat was still rather unbearable hence the cold wetness running over your skin came as a welcome refreshment. You sighed out in relief before you felt Craig’s lips latching onto yours in a hungry kiss.
With eyes closed, you reciprocated it, allowing him to pull you even closer into his tall statue.
“Was kinda hard to sit still with you all naked in front of me, babe..” He groaned into your mouth, his hands wandering down your back to trace the curve of your behind with his fingertips.
“Oh, poor boy…” You chuckled back, a quiet moan escaping from your lips as you felt his palms cupping your ass. 
“It’s time for payback, hun.” Craig warned you before he tightened his grasp around your thighs, hoisting your legs up to wrap around his waist like it was nothing.
“Is that so?” You aimed to mock him a little, but instead, you nearly choked on your own words as Craig rocked his waist into your lap, letting you sink down on his hard-on inch by inch. 
“Fuck…” You mewled out, hiding your face in his chest whilst your hands clawed at his shoulders, nails drilling into his skin.
You felt Craig’s cock drilling into you slowly, spreading you open to accommodate his size until he was filling you all up to the brim. No matter how many times you’d already experienced this sensation, it still sent a shiver of goosebumps all over your body. 
“Not so bratty anymore now, huh?” Craig groaned, his lips brushing over your forehead before he started thrusting into you under the stream of water.
“J-just because I called you out as a pussy?” You murmured into the skin of his chest, trying to catch the breaths that he was set on knocking out of your lungs. 
“Yeah..”, He huffed back, rolling his hips against your crotch in a firm pace, “Exactly because of that, missy.” 
Your brain rattled, the gears inside turning, trying to come up with some sort of snarky remark but every stroke of his girth against your insides rendered you plain dumb on his cock, leaving you to whine and mewl into the curve of his neck. You sensed your brain converting into a big pile of fucked-out mush and you didn’t resist. With all your senses trained inwards to savor every thrust of his, you felt that tell-tale coil in your lower abdomen tightening up, getting ready to simply snap with the next, well-angled roll of his hips against yours.
“Oh, so needy all of a sudden…” Craig cooed into the crown of your head, still holding you close to his body whilst feeling your cunt clenching down around his cock in irregular contractions indicating your rapidly approaching orgasm. 
“Hmhm…” You haphazardly managed to moan out as your whole body turned rigid, your legs clasping around his hips as the first waves of your climax rippled through your system.
Nerve endings set ablaze, the sensation went straight to your brain, leaving it short-circuiting for a blissful split second and wiping every leftover thought from your mind. For all you knew, Craig fucked you right through your climax, your contracting and pulsing cunt pulling him in deeper until he spilled his load deep inside of you with one last deep rut into you.
“Goddamnit, fuck…” It rolled over his tongue in a guttural groan drawn right from the depths of his lungs before he pulled out of you, placing your shaky legs back into the tub as gently as his trembling arms allowed him to.
The mixture of your own arousal, his cum and the water from the shower head above trickled down between your thighs in a tacky avalanche only to vanish down the drain seconds later.
Whilst taking a few, much-needed deep breaths, you looked at each other with a stupidly wide grin smiling.
“Maybe…”; Craig muttered through the wash of water, “Maybe I should let you cut my beard more often.”

May I ask for another pope cody x reader?
My sweet babes! Thank you for stopping by ♥️ Let me preface this by saying, I don’t normally do requests because they stress me tf out. I can’t handle the pressure of them. 😆😭 B U T the world needs to show Pope way more love than he gets.
Soooooooo, here’s a quick lil drabble for you 😘 disclaimer: it’s been a really long time since I’ve written for Pope. I hope I still do him justice.

Playlist: Bad Moon Rising (feat. Peter Dreimanis) - Mourning Ritual
Warnings: swearing, drugs, drinking, Pope. 
Tumblr media
“Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise“ Bad Moon Rising (feat. Peter Dreimanis) - Mourning Ritual
You sat in the cab of Deran’s truck, listening to him and Craig argue about something irrelevant. All you wanted was for them to pack their shit up and take you to the bar.
You knew you should’ve grabbed a cab, or even an uber, but no. Deran offered you a ride from the beach and you were just broke enough to use the free ride.
With an eye roll and an exasperated sigh, you laid back on the cool metal and relaxed. It wasn’t like you were in a rush. You just hated being at someone else’s mercy when it came to getting around town.
It must have been a good twenty minutes later when Deran smacked the arch of your foot making you yelp and sit up. He grinned over at you and you scowled.
“Let’s go,” His voice coming out in a whine that you knew was absolutely fake, “You’re holding us all up.”
“Yeah!” Craig yelled back, pulling himself into the passenger seat.
“For fucks sake,” You grumbled to yourself as you climbed over from the cab into the back seat, “You two are the most annoying assholes on the planet.”
They both looked back at you with matching grins.
“But, you love us,” Craig winked.
You shook your head at him and scoffed in amusement, “More like I love your drugs, but yeah sure let’s go with that.”
All three of you laughed. You loved the Cody family, having grown up with them. They were always there for you, even at your worst. You’d even met the newest member, J. He was adorable for a kid and you could see him picking up with the family super quick.
You reclined across the entire back seat with a sigh and stared up at the evening sky. There was only one brother who remained elusive, and of course that happened to be the one you wanted to see the most. You’d always harboured a crush on the oldest Cody. As ill advised as it was. 
You would never tell any of the other Cody’s about your crush but it was always there, simmering under the surface. Every time you caught a glimpse of them, you always did that cursory scan for the oldest brother, and you always came up short. It had been several months since you last saw him. 
Your body bumped along with the car as Deran drove you down to his bar. You briefly wondered if you’d get to see the one Cody you wanted to see more than the rest, but you clamped down on that hope, knowing it was all for nothing. 
Pope Cody didn’t do crowds. 
Pope Cody wasn’t a barfly. 
Pope Cody preferred quiet. 
You pulled yourself up to hover between the two front seats and immersed yourself with shooting the shit with the other Cody brothers. Letting yourself forget the pining etched deep in your chest. 
The drive to Deran’s bar wasn’t long and before you knew it, Craig was reaching out one hand to catch you as you hopped down from the back seat. Together, the three of you blew in through the back door. The bar was already packed but thanks to the fact that you rolled deep with the family, it wasn’t hard to find a seat at the bar. Deran ducked behind the counter and took up tending, while you and Craig milled around. 
Deran was nice enough to hand you the first beer on the house and you thanked him with a warm smile. From that point on, the night progressed nicely. You had flit between catching up with a few regulars and hustling a few newbies in pool. After a while though, you really needed to hit up the washroom. You didn’t particularly care to break the seal, but it had been too long a night to try and hold it any longer. 
Promising that you’d be back soon, you sank your last ball and then handed your cue over to Craig, heading off to the bathroom. 
It took you longer than you cared admit to actually get yourself righted after emptying your bladder, but between being sun tired and the few beers you’d had, it was to be expected. Finally out of the stall, you washed up quickly and then adjusted your shirt as you pushed the bathroom door open with your shoulder. As you entered the dim hallway, you stopped abruptly at the presence standing by the kitchen. You pulled back slightly, the breath catching in your throat. 
There standing in the doorway to the kitchen was Andrew “Pope” Cody.
Your heart began pounding in your chest and you felt your adrenaline spike with anticipation. You hadn’t seen him in months and now he was here, standing freely in front of you. You took a half step forward but paused. 
He hadn’t noticed you, too busy speaking with whoever was on the other side of the door. You floundered, unsure of where to go or what to do. You didn’t want to be caught standing here. He’d only assume the worst. It was in his nature to be distrustful and that wasn’t something you ever wanted him to think of of you. 
You burned through your options. Realistically, you only had two. You could turn tail and hide away in the bathroom until the coast was clear. But that also had a sure way of backfiring on you. Or you could straighten your shoulders and make your presence known. Yes, you had to take the most direct route. Swallowing your nerves, you made your decision. 
You walked down the hallway, back towards the bar and closer to the kitchen door. You made sure to walk heavily, letting your footsteps give you away. You kept your gaze trained on Pope’s profile. You felt as your stomach flipped in anticipation. You realized that you didn’t care what kind of reception he gave you, you only wanted him to see you. Maybe give yourself an opening to start a conversation. 
As you approached, you watched as Pope’s head tilted then turned to catch you walking forward. His eyes met yours and you felt as if you were caught in his gravitational pull. The world around you ceased to exist. Nothing mattered except that he was looking right at you, recognition sitting in his gaze.
Everything about him pulled you towards him. All you wanted was to get wrapped up and lost in him but instead you fought through the pull. You continued forward and then turned to exit back into the bar. Pope watching you intensely as you passed by. 
You heard Craig’s voice coming from the kitchen and you looked back to find both Pope and Craig looking at you. Craig gave you a quick smile but Pope’s expression didn’t change from his blank mask. You nodded to Craig and then slipped back into the main bar, letting the noise swallow you up. 
~(AK)~
It took you a while to balance yourself out again, after the encounter with Pope. Although, you weren’t sure you could even call it that. He didn’t even say anything to you, nor you to him. It was barely even a moment. Shaking it off, you threw yourself into another round of pool with a few friends. 
After a few shots, Craig came back to the table and leaned up beside you. You glanced at him from the corner of your eye and he caught yours with another smile, this one warmer than the last one he met you with. You smiled back, lined up your shot and then sank your ball. As you stood up, you wondered if Pope was already gone or if you could figure out a way to chase after him. 
However, when you backed away from the table to let Craig take the next shot, you felt a heat prickling on your neck. You shook the feeling off but when you looked up, you found out what was causing the feeling. Standing on the opposite side of the bar, with a beer in his hand, was Pope Cody, and he was staring at you. You met his gaze head on, unsure of what it meant that he was watching you, but damned if you wouldn’t hold his attention for as long as you could. 
You and Craig continued to play your game, racking up more money as the time went on. People still not learning to not bet against you when it came to this game, but Craig was thrilled about it because he was making bank. Finally having had enough, you called it in, splitting your winnings with Craig and pocketing your share. You stepped up to the bar, calling out for Deran and giving him a generous tip. He grinned over at you and then offered to call you a cab. You went to shake your head no, when another voice cut in. 
“I’ll drive you home.” 
Both you and Deran were stunned to see Pope standing there, offering you a ride home. Deran smirked, telling you that your secret crush wasn’t so secret after all. You opened your mouth to refuse the offer but Deran cut you off. 
“Thanks Pope,” He said, “Take good care of our girl.” 
You closed your eyes at how thick he was laying it on but when you opened your eyes again, Pope was watching you intently. You inhaled, letting the excitement masked as anxiety fill you. Pope waited for you to lead the way, and then together you both exited out the back door of the bar and into the parking lot. 
From here, Pope lead you to his truck and you climbed up into the passenger’s seat. He waited until you were settled before starting it up. You gave him your address and he nodded, turning in the direction of your apartment. The drive was comfortably quiet. There was a charged atmosphere around you, but it wasn’t one that had you on edge. It was one that had you relaxing. A feeling you knew was purely because you were in his presence. 
You knew that most people who met Pope ran scared but not you. In all the years you knew the Cody’s, he never intimidated you. He would always just be Andrew Cody to you. The oldest Cody brother. The protector. The one who would do anything for the ones that he loved. You settled further into your seat, relaxing and staring out the window at the passing scenery.
Pope didn’t try to spark up any conversation and that was perfectly fine with you. It had been a long night and the quiet he offered was welcomed. After a short time, he slowed to a stop in front of your apartment. You gazed up at the building then turned to him. 
“Thanks, Pope.” You said. 
He nodded but didn’t say anything in response. You reached for the door but then stopped yourself. This might be your only chance. You didn’t know how long it would be until you got to see him again and you’d be damned if you didn’t at least try. 
You heard as Pope said your name, noticing your hesitation, and that spurred you on. Licking your lips you turned back around and faced him. 
“It was nice to see you today,” You murmured, “Even though we didn’t get a chance to really talk.” You watched as an emotion flickered across his face but then fell back into the mask. You smiled, “Thanks again for offering to take me home.” 
Mustering up all your courage, you leaned across the seat and caught his far cheek with your palm, tugging him towards you and you pressed a kiss to his other cheek. You closed your eyes, allowing yourself a few seconds to linger, you reveled at the softness of his skin beneath your fingertips and lips. 
You broke away slowly, inching yourself back to sitting on your side of the truck, your eyes fluttering back open. Pope’s face was still tilted in the angle that you’d pulled him into but he was staring directly at you. You blinked, waiting an extra moment while he processed your advance. 
Proud of yourself for taking a chance, you smiled and went to pull your door open only to be stopped by his hand wrapping around your wrist. You paused again, looking down at his hand and then back up at him. You waited, knowing that he was working up to something, and didn’t want to rush the moment. 
“I’ll come - I’ll come check on you in the morning.” He said with a curt nod. 
You fought the urge to bite down on your lip and instead let the smile grow on your face at his statement. 
You nodded, “I’d like that.” 
After another long moment of unbreakable eye contact, he unwrapped his hand from your arm and you hopped out of his truck. You passed across the front of the it, then stepped in closer to his window as you made your way towards your building. 
“Goodnight Andrew,” You murmured as you passed his side. 
You watched as his head snapped in your direction at the use of his government name. You caught the subtle tick of his jaw and knew that response meant he liked it. You smiled one last time before turning away from him completely and letting him watch you until you were safely instead the lobby of your building. It wasn’t until you got upstairs to your apartment and looked out from the balcony that he finally drove away. Your heart fluttered, knowing that he waited to make sure that you got home safely. 
You dropped down onto your bed and grinned up at the ceiling. Pope Cody had a thing for you too.

The Wishing Kingdom Song Rewrite: This Wish
So you guys are pretty curious as to why I’m rewriting some of the songs for my rewrite of Disney’s Wish, well, to put it simple, I personally didn’t mind some of the songs, I liked At All Costs and Knowing What I Know Now, but I eventually wanted to rewrite This Wish, simply because I noticed some problems with it in the first place.
I know the lyrics were a massive letdown due to awkward structures and the way they flowed, this is because it sounds more like a pop song rather than an “I Want” song, we’ve had many songs like these in the past that were able to establish characters but why couldn’t they just do something with Asha? I mean the concept was there but it was the execution that had the final nail in the coffin.
Tumblr media
The way I visualise my rewrite of “This Wish” is that it has more of a “God Help The Outcasts” vibe with a some hints of “How Far I’ll Go” and “Reflection” except in this situation as it plays out in the rewrite, Asha is begging to call the power on the stars just because she wants to please everyone and her people just because she gives up easily at magic, so to put it simply, she wants to do better so she can feel like she’s loved by many, including her adapted parents, King Magnifico and Queen Amaya so that she can become the next wish granter before she turns 18, you would see this throughout the rewrite though, I mean, this is where her wish changes as the rewrite progresses cuz character development!
Anyways, let’s get into the song!
Should’ve known that I was capable,
Should’ve known that I was held on to it,
Couldn’t figure out if my hands fumbled,
Or was it all just a mistake,
Can I try again, just one take?
When I try, I think I’m not enough,
If that’s the case then why does it look complicated,
All I did was play my part,
They don’t see it in my heart,
But I don’t know where my story will start…
So I look up at the stars to guide me,
And leave all the dangers in the dust,
Even if they can’t hear me or they find me,
They are the only beings I can trust,
Now I make this wish,
I want something magical than this,
Now I make this wish,
I want something magical than this!
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hey yeah, yeah, yeah, ah-ah,
Magical, ooh-ah-ah-ah.
For years, I knew how to work things out,
All the time, I was a thinker without any doubt,
Now I feel like I am trapped inside a cage,
What is wrong with myself?
Is there a way I can escape?
With all these reservations and hesitations on where to go and where to begin,
I’m past dipping my toes in, but Im not, no I’m not past diving in,
If only that my daddy would be right here beside me, he always knew what I should do,
Keep your head high and just believe, the way he always taught me to!
So I look up at the stars to guide me,
And leave all the threats and dangers behind,
I know there will be challenges that find me,
But I can take them on one at a time!
Now I make this wish,
I want something magical than this,
Now I make this wish,
I want something magical than this!
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah-ah,
Magical, ooh, ah-ah-ah.
Now I make this wish,
I want something magical…
Than this!
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more!

Alright I need some help getting my confidence back to posting my kinda okay writing. So I am asking you all to fill up messages/asks and send me requests for one shots or short stories that may or may not spiral into a series, or which of my series do you want a new chapter written?
I guess I should also mention my second page @coffee-shop-girl is where I would post my stories under and that is where they all live. Now you’re probably wondering why I am not posting this on that page? Well I don’t know how to get my message/ask section back. It seems to have disappeared a while ago and that kind of when I stop writing and posting. So for now this page still has access to messages/asks so fingers crossed I don’t lose it on this page.
So what fandoms do I write for?
* Supernatural
* Chicago Fire, P.D.
* Animal Kingdom
* Leverage
* 9-1-1
* Suits
* The Walking Dead
Are my top fandoms, but send me anything, it will be good exercise in the creative process. So read through my meteoric work, see my style of writing, and send me a prompt.
I am tagging a few accounts that seem to have recently found my works, or that I have started following or that use to follow me. hope you don’t mind, I just really want to get eyes on this. I promise I will only tag you in posts moving forward if you want to be.
Thanks again for reading
@dreamtofus @dinahjane97 @lucid315 @winchesterwild78 @hobby27 @dw19791967 @zepskies @spnexploration @clarinette07 @snffbeebee @deansdirtylittlesecretsblog @deanwinchesterdaily @deans-spinster-witch @deanwinchestersgirl87 @lyarr24 @jackles010378 @wotinspntarnation @prettybubblesintheair

"I'm not leaving you behind! It is my duty," he hissed. "I swore myself-"
"Your swore yourself because you had no choice, Percy." Her eyes were endless dark, devoid of feeling, of life. "You had a price to pay for your mother's life and this was your only offer." Her thin fingers cup his face through the bars. "You didn't choose to be my protector." She gave a weak laugh that made his stomach plummet to the floor. "You're not even my guard yet, not really."
Like a phantom, her touch slid down his cheek. He caught her wrist before her fingertip stopped gracing his skin. He could feel the rounded edge of her fingernail poke against him. Silence held fraught between them.
"Bianca-"
"Percy," she cut in, voice so sharp it cut him to the core. "I want you to survive. You're free. Take advantage of that, and go. Now."
"I can't go back without you," he said, quickly. She didn't fight his hold, but still his grip tightened. As though the harder he held her, the more she would stop protesting her escape. "You are-"
"Dead." Her lips thinned. "I'm dead, Percy. I was dead the moment they got their hands on me and I will be dead before either one of us even makes it beyond these walls, but you-" Her voice cracked, eyes watering.
He shook his head. Blood pounded in his ears. He didn't want to hear what she was going to say, wanted her to stop, wanted it all to stop. Just for a moment.
But it didn't, and neither did she. With a deep breath, she carried on, "You can make it. You can live. But only if you leave without me, so go."
His lungs burned. She inhaled so deeply, spoke so forcefully, and it made him hold the air in his chest until he couldn't take it anymore. If he didn't breathe, maybe she would. But his chest ached. Self-loathing wedged itself like a rock in his throat as he let go. The sound of his own breath was like nail on chalkboard.
"Percy," she whispered. He shook his head and leaned in closer. Although tears hadn't yet fallen, her eyes were still wet. They glistened like the night sky. Her forehead pressed against the bars.
He looked away. The brick wall to his left was growing a fair bit of moss in the corner. "What's our star again?"
She laughed. It was a watery thing that choked him where he stood. Memories of standing the long grass, moonlight shining off the river, while she read her books beside him. Every so often, she'd look up at the night sky and search for the brightest star that month. She'd tell the stories behind the constellations. Or at least the stories from her kingdom. Any time she told a story, a fantastical myth, she'd follow up that her brother knew more - Nico, the quiet prince with a voracious appetite for legends and monsters.
Then, if she could spot the brightest star that month and if she recalled, she'd tell him what it meant for the people born that month. At least, in their hemisphere anyway. The stars were different elsewhere. Sometimes she'd crack open the newspaper, the stark image of her father, and read aloud the horoscopes.
He still remembered the incredulous sound she made when he told her they shared the same birthday. She'd dragged him to the library to refresh her memory on their star. Then argued furiously that he did not share the same traits as her.
It was a silly thing. She didn't believe it. He didn't either. But it was the first time they hadn't played the stiff act of royal princess and her knight-in-training. Not Percy holding his tongue and following strictly one step behind. Not Bianca doing her best to pretend he wasn't her shadow.
Awkward civility and stiffness carried thick between them from the moment Percy had been casted into his role. But that night, with the sound of yelling and laughter still echoing in their ears, they made an agreement. They didn't have to be the best of friends, but they sure could be casual with each other. After all, they were going to be stuck with each other for the rest of their lives.
At least... they were supposed to be.
Slowly each finger detached one by one until all that was left was his palm pressed against her wrist. Then that fell away too. Still he couldn't bare to turn his head and face her.
"Leo," she said. "The lion. Strength, pride, loyalty, confidence."
A stabbed orange toy on new year's day passed through his mind. "Sacrifice."
It was quiet for a beat. Then, "Yes." His heart hammered so fast he could feel it in his throat. "The lion represents sacrifice."
What was he supposed to say? He wanted to run, to turn the lock with the key he stole, take her and run. Run far and fast. But deep inside, he knew she was right. He could get by undetected. No one cared about a child knight, not even yet passed his training. He could blend in and slip out. Even if he got caught, they wouldn't nearly put in as much effort to get him back as they would if she were with him.
She was right.
She was already dead.
He swallowed thickly and met her eyes again. The night sky glistened back at him and he thought of constellations and warm handshakes and kind agreements and silly arguments. Breath caught in his throat. "I'll miss you," he whispered, voice hoarse.
Her lips twitched. "I'll miss you too." She blinked, and one tear slid down her cheek. He tracked the wet trace it left behind until it welled up at the bottom of her chin and dripped to the floor. "Will you do me a favour?"
"You're my princess," he said. "I would do anything for you."
It was a weak smile she gave before she spoke. The sight of it crushed him. "Tell my family I love them." Her breath escaped from her shakily. She pushed back her hair. A classic move to hide the nerves that drove her hands to tremble ever so slightly. "And take care of Nico. Please."
"I will," he promised.
Her smile strengthened ever so slightly. But the tears fell fast now, one right after the other. Her face tilted away at the first streak. He immediately turned his line of sight back to the brick wall. Weakness, sadness, grief - she hated being seen with any of them. He always respected it. Look away until she was done. Don't speak, don't ask her anything, don't help her. Just look away and stay silent unless she calls out.
So, even as his mind's eye was trapped in the wet track of tears on her skin, the hitched sound of her breath holding in a cry, he turned and headed back for the dungeon's door. The doorknob twisted in his hand. The door cracked open.
"Percy."
He held stiff. "Yes?"
"Don't forget the bracelet."
Heat burned at the back of his head. In his pocket, the bracelet felt heavier than the weight of the world. When he had first arrived, she gave it to him. When he refused to take it, insistent that she could deliver it to Nico herself, she shoved it into his pocket herself. Like a ghostly stain, his thigh still tingled with the forceful and firm press of her hand. He was sure it always would.
"I won't."
"Stay safe," she said, a princess in a dungeon ready and waiting to die.
His heart shattered. Still, he kept his head held high. "I will."
Then, without another word, he left the girl he had spent the last three years training to protect. He was meant to die for her. It was the role he had accepted the night he and his friends had stormed the castle and pleaded for help with his dying mother. He didn't argue. He didn't plead. Without hesitation, he swore his life away for hers. Without hesitation, he swore his last breath would be hers.
Yet she was the one embracing the eternal coldness to come. She was the one breathing weakly so he could breathe strong. She was trading away her life for his. She was the lion, giving a mighty roar before the dawn of a new year. She was the sacrifice, held down by chains with a glistening sharp blade raised above her head.
But he wasn't the one lowering it upon her neck. No, he was the cold breath of winter. The first drop of snow. The wilting grass. He was the barren wasteland that drove her out into the open. He was the starving masses desperate to live. He didn't have to drop the blade. He didn't have to use his own hands to spill her blood across the ground. His survival was her end. And that made him her killer anyway.

A dumb idea I had earlier. I’m trying to get better at writing, so I’m posting this here while Ao3 is down.
EDIT: Turns out when I posted this last night most of the lines ended up out of order. I'm sorry, I fixed it and fixed some of the grammar too.
EDIT 2: Okay so I fixed it on mobile, but that messed it up on destop. So I’m just going to link the Ao3

So you know how I told you guys how I would do a Wish rewrite titled “The Wishing Kingdom”, I decided to draw one of the main characters, the wishing star himself: Antares!!
So Antares here is the wishing star and serves as the main love interest of Asha, throughout the story we will see him teach her about the consequences of granting one’s wish and how relying on others can cause threat to one’s life, even though she is the Princess of the two wishgranters of Rosas, Magnifico and Amaya which sets her conflict whether she should rely on her parents to think of her wish or to do it all herself.
While Antares’ main conflict is that he’s been isolated up in the kingdom of Brillianco for years since he was a baby, his mother who was Evangeline believed that going down to the human area alone was dangerous because this would stop the stars from existing as this was secretly caused by Magnifico and Amaya as they wanted more power after their wish was rejected so many times from real life, so Antares is like Quasimodo, Ariel, Rapunzel and Anna, he wants to be part of the human world however he is very naive and gullible, he can also be a bit of a liar, but by the end he will learn from these traits as he battles with the couple with Asha to save Rosas.
As he is one of the wishing stars, he is only allowed to make 2 wishes as this is part of the existance of the wishing stars up in Brillianco, a slight reference to the Genie, but what is also notable is that the kingdom also holds a dark void that isn’t talked about much because it was rumoured that Maginifico and Amaya used it to make the people believe that their wishes will be turned into reality, like slaves.
Even though Antares knows about the dark void, he is willing to teach Asha on the consequences of granting a wish and together, they will aim to bring the wishes back to everyone in Rosas but there is a plot twist along the way that leads him into secretly finding how the dark void is used…
Plus, it would nice if any of you guys added Antares to the star family as a new Wish AU is coming your way!

Runaway
Tumblr media
The burning in her lungs was familiar for a cross country runner like her, but this time it was different. She wasn’t racing towards the finish line; she was trying to run away from something. Someone.
She knew a bad thing when she saw it, that was just the way life was for someone like her; practically growing up on the streets of Oceanside, you learned to trust your gut.
That’s why she couldn’t believe she was running now. She hadn’t seen it.
It had taken until date number three to realize Kyle Ruiz was like every other boy trying to get her to pull her pants down for him in the backseat of his car. Sure, she always knew him to be a bit handsy, but just because she’d let him slip his hands under her shirt on date two, didn’t mean that allowed him access to the rest of her whenever he wanted. Parked out by the beach where they watched the sun lower to the horizon where sky met ocean, he tried again, hands wandering south as they kissed. 
She pulled back abruptly. And when she told him “no”, told him firmly to “stop it”, apparently it was hard to hear her or he suddenly didn’t speak fucking English because it didn’t make him stop. Hands, scalding hot, continued their descent down under her skirt until she slapped him across the face. He retaliated, ego bruised, and the only way he knew how to make it up was continually forcing himself onto her. She struggled, seeing red, until she landed her Converse to his side and scrambled out the door.
Running but with no destination in mind was familiar too. It seemed to be a not-so-subtle metaphor for her life, running, always running towards the end goal that she knew nothing about. She’d been running for so long, she was starting to fear it didn’t exist. 
Her feet had taken her far across the city and beach. But not far enough. Headlights opened by a sickening familiar truck blinded her from down the road, and she had no choice but to act quick.
That’s how she found herself in the middle of someone else’s backyard. Thrown into the midst of what she originally thought was a wholesome family dinner, she discovered it was actually an infamous Cody family meeting. Wholly undressed, a deer caught in head look gracing her features, the menacing stares she earned from the Cody boys in turn were less threatening than that sleezeball Kyle Ruiz. Right about now, she’d much rather been in the notorious family gang’s presence than his. 
Locking eyes with the youngest, J, she knew all about him. Coming from Oceanside as a bit of a legend herself, it was a wonder how the two weren’t closer. She opened her mouth, though words failed her at that moment.
“Y/N, hey, I thought we agreed we’re studying tomorrow.” 
There was the scraping of his seat against the concrete patio as he stood, the condescending voice of his grandmother asking him,” who‘s the friend of yours baby,” and the intimidating nature of his three cousins either waiting for her answer or to forcefully show her the way out. All followed by the subtle raise in J’s eyebrow as his way to say “play along”.
“Oh, did we? Sorry, must have gotten my days mixed up. I uh.. I can just come back, I didn’t mean to interrupt.” Interrupt whatever it was she literally had ran into.
“Offer her a drink baby. We’ll finish this later.” She was suddenly very aware of her heavy breathing, hair stuck to her forehead cheeks with sweat from her run, and it was obvious her entrance was planned. She could use a getaway.
She followed J inside and took him up on his offer for a cold beer. It was silent as they sipped in unison, not sure when the other would make the first move, ask the obvious question: You know my name?
“Is everything alright?”
“Yeah, yeah.” She lied, eyes glued to the tab on her beer can. “Sorry, I got turned around on my run, I don’t know how I ended up here.” Literally.
“What were you running from?” He was quick to judge, quick to know better than to ask why were you running. Something only an Oceansider would know. Her blank expression was more telling than she thought. “Is there someone following you?”
She looked up abruptly, his voice deep, matter-of-fact, and surprisingly comforting.“No. Not anymore.”
“Was it someone you knew?” He talked with such authority, crossed his arms on a powerful way.
“Kyle Ruiz.” She mumbled under her breathe, embarrassment hidden underneath.
“Kyle Ruiz? What… what were you doing with Kyle Ruiz?” If he sounded the least bit  jealous, he had no right to be.
“Not what he wanted, so I had to get out of there.”
He chuckled. “I thought you were smarter than agreeing to go on a date with Kyle Ruiz. He’s a grade A pervert.” She didn’t know how to accept his compliment and did all in one.
“Are you actually alright?” His voice was softer now as it filled the silence between them. She nodded.
“Does he know where you live?” 
She nodded again. It was the first and last time she’d let a guy pick her up from her house for a date.
“We’ll, you can stay here if you want. Smurf’s got an extra room; it’s like collecting strays is her pastime. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind. I can… we can watch out for you, you know. Kids like us, growing up on the streets of Oceanside, we’ve got to look out for each other.”
It was their first real conversation and she had thought he barely knew her name, instead he was offering her an invitation to stay, as if they were that close.
“Thanks Cody, but I think I can manage.” She finished her beer and for up to leave, overwhelmed by the situation she had found herself in, all because of the situation she’d so dumbly put herself in earlier that night. She was never a charity case, and there was something about the way the silver moon seemed to reflect on J’s green eyes (thought impossible) that made her question things. Was he like Kyle Ruiz, wanting whatever he could get too?
Heading towards the sliding door, she felt his hand grasp her rust, gently holding her in place. 
Cool. His hands were the opposite of Kyle’s; where his left painful burns, J’s was cool and soothing, immediately making her heart slow. Like she was safe.
“Stay,” he said softly before clearing his throat and letting go of her wrist. “Until he’s not angry about not getting his way anymore. As much as Kyle’s a dumbass who can’t pass freshman math, he’s a street smart. Knows how to get what he wants. Until he moves on.” While he had been talking he stripped his bed of the pillows and blanket. A hint of a smile finally crossed his features. “You can stay in here, I’ll have the couch. Goodnight Y/N.”
“Hey, uh, J?” She called, making him look back at her. “Thank you.”
