the secret's out.

gif credit @/9116

A/N: We begin our regularly schedule posting of this series with more fluff and with something that is truly fiction: William Andrew Michael Junior Nylander Altelius having more than one (1) thought.

“So how’s your secret girlfriend?” William asked as he and Rasmus dressed for practice together. Rasmus was busy putting his elbow pads on while William was sitting in his gear, waiting to just put on his jersey.

Rasmus noticed William’s skates weren’t tied yet, and he wanted to tie them together so William would trip and fall. He loved William like a brother, and William was most definitely his mentor, but there was no way he was going to tell him just yet. “I don’t have a secret girlfriend, you idiot.”

***

“Is that your secret girlfriend?” William asked as he watched Rasmus type away on his phone during dinner. Rasmus was texting his brother, but as he was doing so a notification popped up that Lusine had sent him a text too, which led him to smile down at his screen.

“What secret girlfriend?” Jason Spezza barely waited two seconds before chiming in too. He looked between Rasmus and Willy, highly skeptical.

Rasmus rolled his eyes. “I don’t have a secret girlfriend!” he hissed at William.

Jason leaned back in his seat slightly, all of the sudden not so uptight. “Why are you teasing him about a secret girlfriend?” he asked Willy.

“Because he has a secret girlfriend.”

“So?” Jason eyed him. “You had—” he stopped dead in his tracks at the same moment William dropped his fork loudly into his plate of pasta below.

“He had what?” Rasmus asked.

Jason cleared his throat. “He had blue balls for Aberdeen for an entire year. He can’t make fun of anyone else’s love life.”

Rasmus laughed, grabbing William by the shoulder and shaking him. William, for his part, was making a face at Jason. “Best year of our lives being able to make fun of him like that,” he smiled.

“Yeah. It was hilarious,” Willy deadpanned.

***

Rasmus had never been intimidated by a building before – not any hockey arena, church, house, what have you – but he was intimidated by Robarts Library. It was just so…big. And ugly. And there was so much going on – so many students and books and workers and computers and just so many…things. That didn’t even take into account the energy of the place: if stress had an origin, it began at Robarts. The only thing was that he was lucky he blended in with most of the students, seeing as he was around their age, anyway. He saw the turnstiles, which were just one obstacle in Operation Find Lusine.

“Fuck it dude. I’m gonna fail anyway, what’s the fucking point?” a guy in a baseball cap and hoodie complained to his friend as they walked close towards Rasmus and the turnstiles.

“Hey bro,” Rasmus got their attention suddenly, not even knowing exactly what he was going to say. “I uh, I forgot my student card upstairs. You mind?”

The guy didn’t even blink twice. “Yeah bro, come on,” he motioned with his head, swiping the card and letting Rasmus through. Well that was easy enough. Rasmus followed them towards the elevators, and as they were waiting, looked up to see where the ‘history’ floor would be.

Only it wasn’t that simple. Of-fucking-course.

For some reason everything started at the 9th floor. And for some reason, things were organized into alphabetical order, not subject.

9th floor

AC–AZ | B–BX | C–CT | D | Oversize

10th floor

DA–DX | E | F–FC

11th floor

G–GV | H–HX | J–JZ | K–KZD

12th floor

L–LT | M–MT | N–NX | P–PM

13th floor

PN–PT | TR,TT | U–UH | V–VM | Z–ZA

Rasmus gulped.

“What floor you need, bro?” the kind young man who had offered his student card asked.

“Uh…9th,” Rasmus said, not quite knowing what exactly he was going to do. Should he work his way up? Down? How the fuck did people do this? He should have thought this through a hell of a lot more, but when it came to Lusine, he didn’t really think much because he was convinced he just knew.

The elevator brought him and the boys up to the 9th floor. They were going to the 12th. “Good luck bro,” one of them said as Rasmus exited, and he nodded back at them as if he was going on a secret mission and it was the last time he’d see them. Both those things were technically true. Once the elevator doors closed, Rasmus was greeted with an absolute behemoth. There were bookshelves everywhere. Desks everywhere. Stress everywhere. He looked towards the wall and saw the floor map, right next to the fire escape instructions.

He took a deep breath.

He looked at every face in every cubby he saw on the inner perimeters first before looking at every face sitting on the outer perimeters in the desks. He’d never seen so many desolate faces in his life. She wasn’t in any of them. So he went up a floor and did the same for all the cubbies and all the desks on the 10th floor. She wasn’t in any of them. So he went up a floor and did the same for all the cubbies and all the desks on the 11th floor.

And there she was. Huddled over, earphones in, a stack of books next to her, typing away furiously on her laptop. He stopped walking and just watched her for a few moments, watched her as she looked back and forth between an open book and her screen, typing out the words before turning the page. He smiled to himself. Rasmus didn’t want to cause a ruckus. He knew that if he did, he’d get nasty stares and probably get kicked out. So all he did was slip into the empty cubby next to her.

When she looked up to see who in God’s name was taking the seat right next to her while there were so many available, her jaw dropped onto the floor. Rasmus was smiling back at her. She pulled her headphones down. “Rasmus?!” she half-yelled, half-whispered, covering her mouth when she realized how relatively loud she was in the silence of the library. “What are you doing here?”

“Thought I’d keep you company,” he whispered, taking his phone out of his pocket and plopping it on the desk.

Lusine couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “How’d you find me?”

“Started on the 9th floor.”

Her heart melted.

***

Rasmus didn’t complain once throughout the four hours they stayed at Robarts. He had been on his phone the whole time, scrolling Instagram or watching hockey highlights. He held down their little two-desk fort when Lusine had to go back in the stacks to find another book, and he tried to give menacing stares at people who tried to sit relatively close to them. He wanted their own space. Lusine needed her own space.

It was just passed nine when Lusine was finished her essay and ready to go. Rasmus helped her put the books she took out on the restock cart. They stepped onto the elevator in silence. When the doors closed, Lusine looked up at Rasmus. “Were you planning to do that the entire time?” she asked.

“Of course,” Rasmus said. “When you texted. I had to see you.”

Lusine swooned. She never imagined a boy saying these sorts of things to her. For such a long time, she didn’t think it would have ever been a reality for her. But Rasmus was real. Somehow. He wasn’t a figment of her imagination. She knew so because she saw him on TV. That had to make him real, right? She would never have guessed a hockey player. “You’re something else.”

Lusine felt his hand cover hers. “You hungry?”

“I’m tired,” she chuckled. “I just wanna go to bed.”

“When’s the essay due?”

“In two weeks.”

“And you’re doing it now?”

“Why wouldn’t I do it now?”

“I don’t know, don’t university students, like, wait to get stuff done until the night before and pull all-nighters?”

Lusine couldn’t help but giggle. For someone who wasn’t going to university and never did, he got the stereotype pretty dead-on. “I’m trying not to be that irresponsible,” she said. “With work and now you, I have to make sure I make time for everything.”

***

Rasmus was with Willy and Aberdeen. They invited him over for a homemade brunch because they wanted to make sure he was getting his proper nutrients. He’d reminded the both of them that in his and Willy’s relationship, he was the cook. That didn’t matter. It was actually quite nice that they invited him over, if he was being honest. Aberdeen knew how to poach eggs, and he’d rather pay zero dollars for Aberdeen’s homemade poached eggs than $20 for poached eggs at some restaurant.

The team had won 5-4 against the Detroit Red Wings last night, but it had been a tight game – tighter than Rasmus would have liked, but they got the win regardless. It was Halloween night at Scotiabank Arena too, and though the team had their own Halloween party earlier in October, it was nice to see some fans, especially kids, get festive. He couldn’t even keep track of how many Auston-style moustaches he saw on the kids pressed up against the glass during warmups.

Lusine had gone out last night to a Halloween party with Bianca and her friends. He’d checked his phone after the game only to see a series of five pictures Lusine had sent him of her in a skin-tight Catwoman costume. He almost didn’t make it home. He had half the mind to ditch his car at Scotiabank Arena and scour every club in Toronto to see if she was there, much like he did in Robarts. But instead, he kept his cool. And he kept looking at the photos until he dozed off and his phone dropped on his face.

She was texting him now, as he was sitting at the table, complaining about her hangover. He tried not to seem too preoccupied with his phone, but the attempt was meaningless. “How’s your secret girlfriend?” William asked as he sat down in his seat, cup of coffee in his hand.

“I don’t have a secret girlfriend,” he mumbled, typing out a message to Lusine about Advil and Gatorade.

“Will you stop with that?” Aberdeen chastised her boyfriend as she put Rasmus’s plate full of food in front of him. “Rasmus, do you want more coffee?”

“Is that who you’re texting now? Your secret girlfriend?” Willy pushed.

“William, will you sto—”

“—She can’t be my girlfriend yet if we haven’t even kissed,” Rasmus blurted out without thinking.

The entire apartment went silent. Rasmus’s heart dropped into the pit of his stomach once he’d realized what he’d said. He shot his head up to look at Aberdeen and Willy. Aberdeen’s jaw was on the floor. William’s eyes were bulging out of their sockets. Within a few seconds, William had banged his fist down on the table. “I KNEW IT!!!!!” he screamed.

“Will—” Rasmus tried to say, in Swedish, but it was no use.

“VIIIIINDICAAATIOOOOOOOOOONNN!!!” William screamed at the top of his lungs. “I WAS RIIIIIGHT!”

“You have a girlfriend?” Aberdeen was exasperated, her jaw still on the floor from the shock. “How? When? Who? What?!”

Rasmus facepalmed with both his hands. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. Not like this. “Guys, please…” he pleaded.

“Who is she? What’s her name?” William asked. “Give me all the details now, Sandy.”

There was no use trying to hide it any longer. He was caught. He framed himself for that matter. He’d never forgive himself for this. Trying to look for a silver lining, he guessed that if any two people found out first, he was happy that it was his best friend and his girlfriend. “Her name is Lusine,” he revealed.

“Lusine what?”

“Lusine Forrester. She goes to U of T.”

“Oh!” Aberdeen exclaimed. “You got yourself a university girl! I already like her. What’s she studying?”

“History major.”

“This seems promising. What year?”

“Second.”

“Is she from Toronto?” William asked.

“She grew up in like a small town or something outside of Toronto, but like…yeah, she’s from here,” Rasmus said. “She moved to Toronto to go to university. She’s living in an apartment in the Annex right now with a roommate.”

“What’s she look like?”

There was zero percent chance Rasmus was going to show them the pictures she’d sent of herself from last night, so he gave them her Instagram handle instead. Aberdeen typed it in on her phone and William leaned into her to check the profile. “Are you dating a model?” she asked, exasperated, hoping that Rasmus wasn’t turning into another Kasperi. “She’s stunning, Sandy. How on earth did you even meet her?”

“She’s not a model,” he corrected Aberdeen.

“She’s not?”

He shook his head. “I was in a coffee shop and overheard a disaster date she was on and I, like, went up to her pretending to know her to help get her out of it.”

Aberdeen leaned back in her chair dramatically. “Oh my God, Rasmus! Are you kidding me?!”

“Wait,” William said dramatically. “Have you invited her to a game yet?”

“No.”

“Oh, but she has to come!” Aberdeen said. “Invite her on Saturday. Hockey Night in Canada. I promise to take care of her. Me and Bee, anyway.”

Rasmus loved Bee, so the thought of Aberdeen and Bee being with her at the game calmed him down a little bit. If he and Lusine were going to be doing this, coming to a game was a logical next step. He just wondered if it would be too much for her too soon. He didn’t want to jeopardize anything. “Yeah. Okay. Maybe. We’ll see.”

William shook his head, grabbing his knife and fork to finally dig into his brunch. “I’m never letting you live this down,” he told Rasmus before stabbing his poached egg with the knife.

𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: mutuals 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: miyoshi kazunari/reader 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: sfw 𝐰𝐜: 1.9k words, 2 images

𝐚𝐧: me? back w/ fluff? it’s expected at this point! his speech is hard for me to replicate, but I rly do love Kazunari so I hope I did this scenario justice! I, uh, got too excited at the prospect of “insta mutuals” oops~ hope you don’t mind the additional media TT

The Insta notification that popped up on the top of your screen distracted you from the game you were playing. Normally you’d flick the notif away, but as soon as you realised what it was about, you rushed to finish the rest of the stage.

You and Kazunari have been Insta Mutuals for nearly a year now, ever since he hit you with a follow and you proceeded to stalk his readily-available socials.

The two of you had been liking and commenting on each others’ posts for weeks on end, starting off with you praising his most recent graphic design work to him sending a paragraph of heart emojis on the most recent fan art you drew.

Somewhere in between following each others’ spam accounts to tagging each other on Insta story games, he finally slid into your DMs and the rest was history. Sort of.

You knew what people said about online dating, or even just long distance relationships in general, but try as you might it was hard not to fall for Kazunari.

The more you talked to him, the less he stayed as your “funny artist mutual” and soon enough he progressed into the “still funny but also really sweet and cute artist online friend, 10/10 would date if asked” category.

You didn’t bother stifling your laugh as you looked at the message he sent you, immediately liking his selfie before saving it on your phone.

Okay, no. He can’t just hit you with an “I do wanna meet u already” and then take it back but not fully commit to it!

You waited for him to respond through text, but instead got hit by your ringtone blaring loudly at such an ungodly hour. At the sight of your contact nickname for him, you eagerly answered his call. You rushed to get the first word in, him doing the same unbeknownst to you.

“Kazu-“

“Babe, I-“

The both of you paused, his eventual laughter easing up your tension as you let out a giggle of your own. You mentally told yourself not to be so nervous— Kazunari and you would have this conversation eventually anyway; besides, it wasn’t as if you didn’t want to see him in person. It was quite the opposite, actually. You just figured that conversations like this needed to happen in call, at least.

“Shoot, should probs shut up so Mukkun doesn’t wake up,” Kazunari commented, his voice volume already lowered, “do you wanna go first?” He asked.

“Yeah,” you replied with resolve. You gathered up your thoughts, formulating the next set of sentences that would leave your mouth, before ultimately deciding on one question. “I just need to know first… how serious were you about meeting up irl?”

“I mean, that wasn’t what I meant when I sent the message? But like, it’s still valid, you know?” he paused, but when you didn’t say anything he decided to continue, “it’s not the first time I’ve thought about meeting you. I think about it a lot, actually.”

It was a bit of a shame the two of you chose to voice call instead of video call. You would’ve loved to see your boyfriend’s face just about now, though you supposed it wouldn’t be a good idea to have a heart attack a quarter to 4 in the morning.

Plus, you weren’t sure you could handle him teasing and throwing compliments at you due to your clearly visible elation, if the upwards stretch of your lips was anything to go by.

“Babe? You still there? Did you pass out, or…” In reality it had only been a few seconds, but still you didn’t want to leave him hanging. Not when the two of you were talking about something that meant taking the next step in your relationship.

“I’m still here, Kazu,” you reassured him. Your voice shook slightly, a sliver of your excitement slipping through the cracks. “I’m the same. Like, no lie I was shocked we brought it up like this, but, um… I’m ready, and if you’re ready, too, I want to meet up with you.”

“Wait, wait, wait— hol’ up! So we’re finally going—“ he laughed for the second time tonight, a fuzzy-wuzzy warmth escaping as its sound equivalent. “Wahh! Of course I’m ready! Can’t wait to finally see what a cutie you are irl♪ Hngg, how am I supposed to sleep now? I’m too hyped up!”

You rolled your eyes, despite understanding exactly how he felt. His infectious cheerfulness amplified the blossoming commotion occurring inside your brain. Despite not making any official plans yet, the prospect of finally meeting up had you frenzied.

Still, one of you had to be at least slightly responsible. While you wouldn’t claim to know his daily schedule, if Veludo Arts was anything like your university, he should be as swamped with workload as you were. Actually, maybe that was the reason he was up so late? That’s how it was for you, anyway excluding the fact that you took a break to stamina clear.

“It’s nearly 4 am… do you wanna continue planning this tomorrow? Err, rather, in a couple hours? After our lectures end, maybe?” You asked, though by the tiny whine Kazunari let out you had a feeling he wasn’t going to agree so quickly.

“Ehh? Why don’t we do it now? I have so many ideas about where we could go, and what we could do… oh! I could introduce you to everyone in Mankai! I’m sure they’d love-“

“I’d love to meet them too,” you cut him off, tone as firm as you could manage at this time, “and I want to hear your ideas, really, but I just know if I let you keep talking the sun will rise before we’ve even decided on a date.”

You chuckled as Kazunari let out a sound of protest, though you had a feeling he knew you weren’t wrong about your assessment. “Zuzu~ Let’s go to sleep now, okay?”

His phone microphone picked up on an audible gasp. “Ehh, how come you rarely call me Zuzu? It’s cute when you say it!”

“Because it sounds like a nickname you’d give to a Pokemon!”

“Uwu, maybe I’ll get Itarun to lend me a copy? Then I’ll catch the cutest Pokemon and name it after you~” you nearly groaned at how fluffy he was being. Seriously, he was distracting you from your agenda of going to sleep!

“Kazu! Stop flirting with me at 4 am or we might not fall asleep!”

Though you couldn’t see him, you were 200% sure he had a wide grin plastered on his face right now. “Me? Using tactics to get you to keep talking with me? Never,” he claimed, professing his false innocence.

“Well, I’m not falling for it! I may not be able to physically tuck you in bed right now, but I can in spirit!”

“Oh!? Then can you give me a goodnight kiss in spirit, too?”

At this point, you were sure that even with just a poke on the cheek you’d be able to feel the heat beginning to envelop your face.

As Kazunari finished laughing, you let the quiet lull of the night seep in the conversation for a few moments before gently breaking it.

“I’d rather give you a kiss irl, though.”

And just like that, you claimed victory over the game he started. With how Kazunari sputtered, a part of you worried that he’d disturb his roommate’s slumber. Still, an even bigger part of you was smug to have him speechless for that much of a duration.

“Babeeeee,” he drawled, “you’re so, so, so unfair… I, like, really want to hold you tight right now…” he murmured, the rustle of his bedsheets discernible through the call. You found yourself nestling onto your bed, too, snuggling up to a soft pillow.

“Soon,” you suddenly yawned, your tiredness seeming to have settled in the comfier you got on the bed. “We’ll have a lot of time to plan tomorrow and the days after, yeah?”

Kazunari let out a hum in agreement, a comfortable silence following suit.

“Kazu?” You muttered quietly, careful not to disturb your peaceful atmosphere.

“Yeah?”

“I love you. Good night,” you said, heart aflutter as you heard his response.

“I love you, too, cutie~ sweet dreams♪” he said in an unbelievably soft tone, before ending the call.

After quickly connecting your phone to a charger, you fell back atop your bed and hugged your pillow tight, already anticipating the day you’d be able to hold Kazunari in your arms, and you in his.

…

Morning come, you hastily prepared for class as you always did. You fell into your usual routine— as soon as you were out of the bathroom, you selected an outfit and went over the things you needed to bring to uni today.

You stopped for a minute; taking a quick selfie to post on your story and emphasise your exhaustion to your close friends, before making yourself some breakfast. Within less than 5 minutes, your phone pinged— a recorded message from one of your favourite people this early in the morning.

"Mornin' piko☆ You're looking cute as always today♪”

There was no way you would admit to how many times you replayed it to Kazunari, but even so it was a good way to keep you positive for the rest of the day.

You don’t remember Veludo Way being this rowdy, though it was hard to trust your memory when it’s probably been years since you’ve last visited. Somehow, it was not tough to imagine Kazunari walking around and performing here— the liveliness of the streets difficult to not associate with one of the liveliest people you knew.

While the original plan was to meet up at a cute and trendy cafe you saw all over people’s SNS, the two of you agreed to meet up somewhere less crowded and more meaningful to him— the theatre which he’d performed at multiple times in the past.

As you saw the building from a distance, you wondered when you’d be able to see him on stage, too.

A shout of your name pulled you out of your thoughts, and you couldn’t help yourself from running over to meet up faster with the figure that was jumping and waving around in your direction.

Had you any sense left, you probably would have told him that you didn’t want him embarrassing himself in public, but in reality it was quite apparent that you were just as excited to finally see him in person.

“Kazunari!” you can’t help the little shriek you let out as you finally embrace him, only joyous laughter and each others’ names escaping the both of your lips. When you finally got a good look at Kazunari, you nearly wanted to bury yourself into his shirt again.

Everything still seemed so unbelievable. That this was real. That it was finally happening. It almost felt like the dreams you’ve had of this moment many times before.

“How are you so beautiful in person, too?! It’s totes like I’m falling in love with you again♪” Kazunari exclaimed, squeezing you one more time before finally settling on holding hands with you. “Ahh! I super, duper love you!”

Except it wasn’t. There was nothing imaginary about his warmth, and the way his words made you feel, and the beaming sunshine of a smile he aimed at you.

“I love you, too!”

Out of the Void || BTS

↳ Summary: The one where the boys stumble upon that one fic and they all end up reading. (This is a crack fic inspired by @btssavedmylifeblr’s Void, because my own words are not enough to describe how an amazing story Void it is, and what a outstanding writer Bee is).

⇢ Warnings: BEWARE OF SPOILERS!! This things should be full of them so I suggest you to read all of Void before reading this just in case. Also, for those entitled rude anons: stop demanding updates from the fan fiction writers like they owe you shit, cause they don’t! And stop coming at them to complain about their publishing schedule. This is done for fun and for free, if you can’t be patient and respect their creative process then fuck off!

A/N: Also, I had so much fun writing this. I wanted to keep adding and adding stuff. However, since english is not my mother language i had some trouble describing the scenes the way I pictured them in my head. Therefore, I decided to leave it like this for now.

(TT-TT) Im sorry, Bee! I did try my best, I know it doesn’t do Void justice. But I still wanted to write it for you because Void is such an amazing story!

That’s it! Please,enjoy!

[...]

He shouldn’t be doing this.

Hoseok checked over his shoulder again before turning back to the phone in his hands. It wasn’t like if someone were to come into his studio right now and catch him watching porn.

Hell, this was so much worse.

Especially considering how he was supposed to be working on the rap arrangement for the new song, and not checking out a piece of fan-fiction... If Namjoon were to catch him he was going to give him hell for days.

He had strictly advised the six of them against it several times, but to be honest Hoseok was to eager to find out what happened next to actually acknowledge the suggestion. Besides, he was he eldest of the two and it wasn’t like he had to listen to his band member. Joon was only the leader when the cameras were out. Inside their dorms he couldn’t even remember to wash the dishes when he was supposed to or take the clothes out of the dryer so they wouldn’t end up a crumble mess the next morning.

Also, it was all Jimin’s fault.

His dongsaeng had sent him the link without any explanation last week. It was a silly thing they did to each other trying to make the other cringe with whatever weird-ass story they could find, mostly on Twitter. It was all for the laughs but they had stopped doing it when Hoseok had accidentally send Seokjin a rather explicit piece that involved Jimin and Yoongi in a threesome with some kind of catgirl trying to get her pregnant. It was meant for the young boy, of course and that slip of hand had resulted in a hysteric Seokjin exposing them right in front of the others.

Hoseok has been so embarrassed after that he couldn’t even look at Yoongi in the face for a whole ass week. Even though his hyung had said it was fine. It didn’t help that Taehyung and Jungkook wouldn’t let the topic die either. Those rascals, he made sure to make them wore their asses off in the following dance practices.

But anyways, he and Jimin had agreed to stop.

So it was a surprise to receive a new link from him after a couple months. He’d ignored it at first, being too busy with practice and rehearsals to bother with checking it up. But yesterday while waiting for his appointment with the cupping therapist, he’d absentmindedly opened it and was actually surprised with what he’d found. Written in English, it was a space story... and they were astronauts!

At that moment he been too oblivious to care and read the warnings or summary on top of the post. For a moment of innocent wonder he actually got caught up in the first scene. He was a scientist in space, it couldn’t get any cooler than that! But of course, he had soon realized what type of story it was.

The problem was that it didn’t start right off with the porn part like most stories he’s found while browsing the darkest depths of the ARMY’s fandom. He’d read some weird shit himself, demons, half-animal people, male pregnancyㅡHell! even tentacles once. The kind of things his fans could come up with was exhilarating, and it blew his mind that the weirdest and kinkiest were for some reason the best well-written of allㅡ.

But this story was different.

It had a storyline, an actual estructure, inciting incident, clear stakes, the whole pack. Years listening to his father reviewing novels and short-stories had resulted in him developing an appetite for well-written stories. And even though the main character was that Y/N type their fans where so keen about, she wasn’t plain at all. She struggled, and that was nice to read. Besides, all that astronaut stuff sounded so legit that he almost consider the possibility of the author being an astronaut herself. He’d always been a fan of fantasy and sci-fi since he was child and his father brought him the entire collection of Jules Verne’s novels for his eleventh birthday. Stories about voyages to far and unknown places were his guilty pleasure, so of course he got hooked up with this piece faster than he’d ever with any other he’d read so far.

But he couldn’t finished the chapter that time because the masseur was already calling his name. The scrolling bar told him he wasn’t even half way through it, so he’d copied the link for later and went to the therapist office. So now there he was resuming his reading with renewed eagerness.

The main character had just arrived at a green house inside the ship. And there was Yoongi.

Hoseok huffed and raised an eyebrow when he realized this scene focused all on his elder. Wasn’t he supposed to be the main character here? Not that he complained, though. Yoongi’s fingers where indeed nice after all and wouldn’t blame the girl for obsess over them. But in most stories he’d read there was always a lead, and he assumed by the first scene it was going to be himself. Maybe this was a threesome?

He quickly scrolled back up to the story information, searching for the pairing section where he knew his questions would be answered. /OT7 x reader/

He flinched.

“All of us? What...?”. Did that mean everyone was a love interest? Or that the main character was supposed to screw all of them at once? How was that supposed to work if there was just one woman in the whole crew?

Oh wait...

The realization hit him. Of course, that was the whole plot. Seven guys and one girl, and they had to fight for her love? It was something like that for sure, wasn’t it? She would pick one of them and then they’d have sex. He kept reading—

«Your deepest darkest fantasies- the ones you always turned to on your most stressed and anxious nights - were the ones involving the entire crew. The idea of them finding out what a slut you were for them and passing you between them filled you with an embarrassing level of arousal. You would imagine them taking turns filling you until all your thoughts of loneliness and emptiness had been fucked out of you. And you would sleep like a baby.»

—or not...

He scratched his chin, a little confused now. Was this actually going to be gangbang? Or more importantly, was he actually going to read this till the end? He did like threesomes, not that he’d been in one... Yet. Their schedules hardly ever allowed them to properly date someone, and hooking up with a random stranger was way too risky with the level of fame they’d reached at this point. But the idea of threesomes was very appealing, although he’d never actually consider having a gangbang with all his members. However... he wasn’t going to cross off reading about one just yet.

Just as he was about to resume his reading, the door flew open and Jimin‘s face appeared. “Hyung!”

Hoseok jumped in his seat, his phone fell on his lap.

“Shit...!”, he took a deep breath and glared at his band member. “You almost gave me a heart attack, Jimin!”

A sly grin appeared on the youngest face.

“Why? What were you doing?”

Hoseok cleared his throat. Had he been discovered?

“Nothing”, he lied so poorly he wanted to smack himself on the face.

“You were totally reading it, weren’t you?”, Jimin chuckled. “Did you get to the video part already?”

“No, what video part?”

Jimin raised both palms.

“Sorry, not going to give you any spoilers”

Hoseok rolled his eyes. “Anyway... Why did you send it?” He asked, retrieving his phone and unlocking the screen again. “I thought we agreed on not doing that anymore”

“Yeah, but Taehyung send it to me”

“What?” Hoseok frowned, and turned around in his chair to face the boy. That was a surprise. “Why would he...?” He shook his head, sometimes Taehyung needn’t a reason to do the most random things.

Jimin simply shrugged.

“He also sent it to Jungkook and Namjoon-hyung”, Jimin ran his hand through his hair and giggled. “I think everyone is reading it now”

“Wait- What?!” Hoseok chuckled and raised an eyebrow. “Are you for real?”

“Haven’t you checked the group chat?”

“No, I was...” Hoseok pressed his tongue against his cheek. “-reading”.

“Huh”Jimin wiggled his eyebrows. “Is cool isn’t it?”

“Well, it’s ... interesting”, he conceded. Jimin let himself in and plopped down on the spare chair he kept in his studio in case he needed to work with the senior producers.

“Who do you think she’ll choose?”

“For what?”

“Come on, hyung.” Jimin snickered, “You know what I mean”

“Are you sure she is supposed to choose one of us?”

“What-? Obviously...”, Jimin shifted on the sofa, his face stared confused at Hoseok for a moment. But then he gasped, suddenly realizing what he mean. “Do you mean-? All of us?!”

“Why not?” Hoseok shrugged. “It’s just a story, anyways. You know some of our fans like kinky stuff and there’s nothing wrong with that”

“I mean! I know that! Its not-”. Jimin’s face turned a bright shade of red. “W-we shouldn’t be reading about that. What if they get... ideas!” He brought a hand to his forehead and looked back at him with a worried expression. Hoseok spluttered in a laugh, but it soon dwindled when he realized Jimin was actually serious about his concern.

“Jimin...”

“Goddamnit...!” Hoseok observed as his younger member stood up and facepalmed himself “I’m an idiot! I bet that was Taehyung’s plan all along”

“Taehyung’s plan was to have us... read fan-fiction?”

“About a gangbang!”

Hoseok rolled his eyes.

“It’s just fan fiction, Jimin. Not a proposition”, he said, but Jimin wasn’t paying attention to him anymore.

“The others can’t read that. I have to stop them”, and he was about to storm out the door, but Hoseok had to stop him.

“Hey, hey!”, he grabbed him by the elbow. “Now you’re just exaggerating”

“No, I’m not”, Hoseok couldn’t comprehend why Jimin was so scandalized. “We can’t have a gangbang, hyung!”

“No, no, no!”, he “First of all, no one is having a gangbang. Second of all, why does it bother you so much?”

“It doesn’t!”

“Really?”

“I just don’t want to be... I don’t want to share a partner with the six of you”

“Why, you’re worried she might like it too much and dump you?” Hoseok teased. However, upon seeing Jimin getting all self-conscious, the smile was erased from his face.

“Jimin, come on. You don’t really think that would happen”

“I don’t know, you are all good looking and mature, and more talented that-“

“Stop it. You are not less than us, stop beating yourself so much specially over a fictional situation. Do you forget who has the third largest fan base among us?”

“It because ARMY likes when I act all cute and pretty, and want to baby me like a child. I’m the cutie, the tiny one...”, his voiced turned into an almost whisper at the end. “I’m never the big... manly man...”

“Jimin...”

“What?”

“This isn’t about the story, is it?”

“No... yes- well, not this one...”, he paused, looking at his feet, bashfully. “It’s just the other stories...”

“What other stories?”, Hoseok asked, but Jimin just shrugged. “I don’t get it...”

“Ugh- hyung it’s nothing really”, he was quick to reply, standing up again. “You are right, I’m so over-reacting... it’s just a story”

“Okay...”, Hoseok leaned back in his chair and looked again at Jimin who was standing next to the door. Hands behind his back, like a child waiting to be scolded. “You sure that’s all?”

“Yep”, that extra ‘p’ sound at the end was enough evidence that he was lying. But he was also aware of Jimin’s uneasiness so it was probably better to let him off the hook for now.

“Well, then...”, Hoseok rubbed his neck. “I really should get back to work then”

Jimin gave him a short smile and left without saying another word. Hoseok turned around in his chair to face his computer and actually get some work before the day was over.

But maybe...ㅡHe glanced at his phone next to the mouseㅡ, just maybe... one more chapter wouldn’t hurt either.

[...]

It was past three am when he arrived back at the dorm. He usually wasn’t the one to stay overnight at the studio like Joonie and Yoongi-hyung. But time flew from his grasp like an oiled rope after he finished the first chapter and he had to stay late to finish his assignments. He didn’t want Pdogg-hyung to yell at him in their next briefing. However, the pull of the story was too strong for him to resist.

He had gone to sleep right away, and with the first light the next day he was already reaching for his cellphone and logging into the Tumblr account he had created just for this. He needed to know what happened next, story-Jimin had to be out of his mind to give the main character a video of him masturbating. It was a risky move, he wouldn’t think Jimin was capable of it in real life... Maybe Seokjin-hyung was shameless enough to pull that one out, and Taehyung...

“Yeah, probably Taehyung...”, he mused to himself as he propped himself down on his elbows.

“Probably Taehyung what?”, Jimin’s sleepy voice asked from his side of the room.

“Oh! Jiminie, did I wake you?”, Jimin shook his head and asked again what he meant by ‘probably Taehyung’. Hoseok sat on his bed and stretched his arms. “Nothing, it’s just this story...”

“Why do you keep reading it, hyung?”, Jimin groaned and covered his face with both palms in exhaustion. Hoseok simply chuckled, Jimin’s concerns where silly. Plus, he wasn’t going to deny himself the pleasure of a good story just because his roommate thought his best friend was trying to get them to have an orgy.

“We are not having a gangbang, just relax”

Jimin huffed but didn’t argue further.

A sudden nasal shriek shattered the morning’s quietness and reached their ears through the door. Hoseok almost jumped off his bed to Jimin’s, what on earth was that? It sounded like some kind of hysteric bird .

“First you send me that porn thing and then you wanna talk about gangbangs?! Gangbangs!!”

Okay, that hysteric bird sounded like Seokjin now. And by the volume of it, it was coming from the kitchen.

“It’s not like that, hyung! You don’t even listen!” And that was definitely Joon’s.

Hoseok exchanged confused glances with Jimin that soon turned into curious ones. As if on cue, both of them got up their beds and ran into the kitchen to check on their band members.

Namjoon was leaning on the kitchen counter, a cup of coffee in one hand, the other scratching his forehead. Meanwhile Seokjin was beating some eggs in a plastic bowl, ranting about how much porn was acceptable in a household.

“It’s not porn! It’s basically literature!” Namjoon sounded as much fed up as he looked embarrassed. Seokjin let out a sarcastic chuckle.

“It’s porn! And you are a pervert!”

Namjoon rolled his eyes.

“If you could just read it-!”

“I have enough with the viruses that keep popping on the computer because of you shady search historial!” It was hilarious just listening to them arguing back and forth like and old married couple. But Hoseok was more curious about whether they were talking about what he though they were.

“Is this about the space story?”, he chimed in, resting his elbows on the marble island across Seokjin’s cooking station. Jimin climbed on a stool next to him.

“You too, now?”, Seokjin huffed, giving him and Jimin disgusted look. “Not that I’m surprised, considering your fascination with breeding cats”

“It was a cat-girl! And that was a mistake!” Hoseok’s ears suddenly burned. “But whatever...”

“Wait- So did you read it, or not?”, this time Namjoon was the one to speak.

“I am reading it, I’m on chapter two”, he replied and Jimin nodded along.

“Did you get to the video part right?”, Joon asked and before Hoseok had a chance to speak, Seokjin’s loud huff cut him off.

“Can I cook in peace without having to hear about how much you want a gangbang, pleaaaaase?”

“Com’on, hyung! I never said I wanted a gangbang!” Namjoon shot him a glare before turning back to Hoseok. His hands came to fondle with the fruit bowl in front of him. “What I was trying to explain to this hyung is that I do think it’s an interesting guessing exercise for figuring out the extends of human behaviour in such adverse conditions”

“But you said you wanted to do it!”

“No! I said to explore it as in talk about it! WITH WORDS!”, Namjoon glared at their hyung, as a faint blush covered his cheeks. It was clear that “If you could’ve just listened for a moment instead of acting like a scandalized prude!”

“Yeah, hyung. It’s just a story, you are over reacting”, said Jimin, taking Hoseok by surprise considering all he had to say about it last night.

“Well, forgive me for not wanting a gangbang!”

“No one’s having a gangbang, for God’s sake!”

“I wouldn’t mind”, a fifth voice joined the conversation out of the blue and all the heads turned in the direction of the hallway.

Yoongi-hyung was leaning against the wall, arms crossed and messy bed hair. A slight frown hardening his features. He’d most likely woken up because all of the noise.

Seokjin let out a sarcastic chuckle.

“You too, Yoongi?”

“How long have you been standing there?”, Jimin asked. Yoongi shrugged off a yawn and walked over to grab an apple from the bowl Namjoon was holding.

“It’s hard to keep sleeping with this hyung nagging so loud this early in the morning”, he pointed to his eldest and bit on the fruit.

“You know what?!”, Seokjin scoffed, and put aside all his cooking implements. “Y’all can make your own breakfast! Seriously...”

And walked away.

“So noisy...”, Yoongi mumbled as he munched on his apple.

“You read it too, hyung?”, Namjoon asked. Yoongi turned to him, leaning on his elbows. Hoseok’s eyes betrayed him as they followed Yoongi’s movements and the way he arched his back, lifting his ass in the air so subtly.

“Since Tae shared it in the group chat I figured I should give it a try”, he shrugged seemingly desinterestedm, but Hoseok knew him better than that. Yoongi liked to pretende he didn’t care about stuff other that making music, but it was clear to him by the way he was behaving, that the older rapper had enjoyed the story a little bit too much. “It was good”.

“You’re only saying that because you are not the main character”, said Jimin.

“At least I’m not the character that gave the girl a video of me jerking off”

“First of all, she asked! and second, you messed up big time keeping that memory card, hyung!”

Yoongi sneered at the younger boy.

“I got her off, you didn’t”

“Wait, what are you-?”

Jimin’s face turned a bright red, his nosetrils flared. Namjoon just chocked a laugh, almost knocking off the fruit bowl. For a moment, Hoseok only stared in confussion at them. He couldn’t recall something like that happening in the story yet and he realized they were probably far ahead of him.

“Hey! Don’t give me any spoilers! I haven’t reached that part yet”.

But Yoongi and Jimin just ignored him, continuing their teasing banter.

“I don’t think she’ll forgive you. EVER!”

“She was thinking of me while fucking you”

“At least I got to- to... be with her!”

“You can’t even say fuck without blushing. Space-Jimin is lightyears ahead of you”, a smug grin appeared in Yoongi’s face, clearly pleased with his joke and Jimin’s fuming face.

“That’s a bit rich coming from you, hyung”, Namjoon said with a smirk. “I mean, last time I checked you couldn’t even look at Halsey in her training clothes without turning red as a beetroot”

“That’s-!”, Yoongi coughed, a bite of the apple going the wrong way. Suddenly matching Jimin with his red cheeks. “That’s different!”

“Neither one of you would ever dare to act like the way the author portraits you. Just admit it”, Namjoon snickered. “You don’t have what it takes”.

“Oh, and you do?”

“I’m just saying if the seven of us where trapped in a spaceship and there’s just one woman for miles and miles...”, He crossed his arms, chin raised proudly. “I’m guessing you’d be too shy to get her attention”.

“It’s not a competition, anyway. It’s a story and it has already been written”, argued Yoongi. “And I was her first choice”.

“Technically it was Hobi”, Jimin pointed out. “She was so ready to throw herself over him in that lab scene”.

“Well Hobi doesn’t count here because he did nothing”

“Excuse me?”, Hoseok scoffed. “Clearly I’m the best character, unlike others I’m actually being professional”.

“Yeah, right. Professional until Yoongi-hyung tells you he screwed the main character”, Taehyung popped up from behind him making Hoseok shriek in surprise, followed closely by a sleepy-faced Jungkook.

“You little-! You almost killed me!”, Taehyung only laughed, joining the his chuckling hyungs.

“And he didn’t screw anything- anyone!”, said Jimin.

“Well, his fingers did”.

“Stop talking!”, Hoseok shoved Taehyung aside and shook his head. “You’ve already spoiled the story for me enough as it is! At least let me finish the chapters before we talk about this”.

“Yeah, maybe we shouldn’t talk about it before breakfast”, Namjoon scratched his chin. “Gguk, go tell Jin-hyung he can come back now”.

“Why, was he here?” asked Jungkook.

“He left because he didn’t what to have a gangbang”, Yoongi answered, almost offended, like he was telling Jungkook his hyung had turned down some fishing trip.

Jungkook’s eyes where suddendly wide open.

“What-?!”

“It’s the story, nevermind!”, Jimin waved a hand in the air in dismissal.

“Wait, so we can’t have a gangbang?”

“Are you serious right now, hyung?”, Jimin gave Yoongi the side eye. His hyung response was simply shrugging.

“I like to keep my options open”.

“Yeah, maybe one thing you shouldn’t keep open is your mouth”.

The group erupted in laughter at Jimin’s witty comeback. Yoongi raised the hand that held half an apple and pretended to throw it at Jimin’s head, only to join the laughter when the dancer fell from his chair by his motion.

Hoseok chuckled and shook his head.

What a way to start the day.

Wing Doctor Part 2

As requested by @annika3200 and @homeschooledbookfanatic

Here is the second/final part to Wing Doctor. Click below to read the first part if you haven’t yet.

https://thena0315.tumblr.com/post/188692048651/wing-doctor

"Just to be clear here, you're gonna do all the talking right?" Noah nervously looked over to Connor as he looked at the floor numbers changing.

"You worry too much. An ED doctor has to asks a surgeon for a consult on a patient, they decide the best course of treatment, decide if the patient needs surgery, and if they can do it. It's simple.

Most of the patients surgeons get are from the ED anyway. Cardiothoracic and Neurosurgeons occasionally get special cases from special clients. But, at the moment, we're slowly getting those requests coming again since Dr. Downey died. Which is why the upcoming surgery case is a big one. It's a heart transplant on patient born with a Situs inversus. In simpler terms, a person born with their organs on the opposite side where a normal person would have them. The patient is the prime minister of London's granddaughter. He requested both Dr. Bekker and myself to perform the surgery due to both of us being mentored by Dr. Downey and Dr. Jaffrey."

"That does sound like a big case." Noah replied.

"Which is why the board is making a big deal out of it because of the media exposure."

"Then shouldn't Dr. Bekker also be apart of the meeting as well?"

"The meeting happened earlier, and she went, but I couldn't because I was in the middle of surgery. So, they rescheduled a second meeting to talk about what they discussed with her, to me. Which makes it perfect timing for your patient to get into surgery."

"Yeah, perfect timing..." Noah hesitantly nodded.

The elevator finally stopped on the CT floor. They walked through the main floor to see there wasn't many people on the floor. Just a few doctors and nurses doing their rounds.

That's how they found Ava sitting at the computer station looking over a patient's charts. She had her back towards them.

Connor patted Noah's right shoulder, giving him a reassuring nod before casually walking towards the computer station, with Noah slowly trailing behind him.

He places the tablet on counter and slowly sneaks up behind her and covers her eyes with his hands and kisses the back of her neck.

The action startled her, earning a small shriek, with a grin on her face.

She spins around in her chair, placing her hands on his left cheek and his neck on the other side. "You're not being very professional, Dr. Rhodes." She smiled.

"Just thought I make your day interesting, seeing how quiet the CT floor is right now." He gave her a quick kiss before taking her hand to help her stand up. She was about to open her mouth to say something, till she caught Noah standing a ten feet away. She frowned looking at him.

Noah could feel his body getting cold by her stare.

"Hey Ava, Dr. Sexton here needs a consult on his patient." Connor places his right hand on the small of her back as he leans forward to pick up the tablet. "His patient was in a car accident and the x-ray scans shows that his lungs are bleeding. The way the scan shows, it seems that the lungs are bleeding somewhere in the upper lobs. I can't do the surgery cause I have the meeting with the board soon, but you're free right now. Think you can fit in doing the surgery in your schedule?"

Ava looks up from the tablet and stares at Noah, whom stopped breathing at the exact moment. She then takes the tablet from Connor and looks through the patient's charts and discuss further details about the surgery.

Noah must have blanked out for a while because Ava was now standing in front of him.

"I'll do the surgery, Dr. Sexton. Please prep your patient and bring him up to the OR."

"U-Uhhh A-Alright-tt!! TT-Than-nkk yo-ou~!" He shuttered nervously. "I'll get right on it!" He quickly spoke.

"I see being a doctor for more than one year, you've gotten smart enough to know it's better for residents to ask for a second opinion on their cases." She spoke in a sarcastic tone before handing him the tablet and walking away.

Noah stood frozen for about 40 seconds till Connor patted his back, snapping him back to reality.

"See~! It's wasn't that bad. Everything went okay! There was nothing to worry about at all!"

"Yeah~.....you could say that.." The young doctor spoke softly. "But, why do I still feel scared now that the conversation is over? Is it because I still have to talk to her after the surgery is over?" He looked at him in disbelief.

"It's take time, buddy. You're not the first resident who's afraid of talking to Ava. After a couple of more cases, you'll be able to overcome your fears. If not, just talk to Ava with her sister then to be your bodyguard." He patted him one last time on his shoulder before catching up to his fiancé.

"You do know that this is the 12th time this week I had to be someone's 'Wing Doctor', just to talk to you, ya know? Connor said once he caught up to her.

"It's not my fault that the residents here at Med aren't smart enough to realize their own mistakes. Compare to when I was in South Africa, the doctors there are different. They don't make mistakes when diagnosing their patients." She pushed open the doors in front of them. "At least at Groote Schuur, as far as I know."

"Ya see, this is why more and more doctors and Med students are becoming more scared of you. And why they always come to me to talk to you for consults. But, then again, this also means that they're less likely to think they can have chance with you."

Ava raised an eyebrow. "Does this have something to do with your conversation with Lanki, on how he finds me attractive, and asked when I'll dump you to give him a chance? Or, was it Crockett continuously flirting with me before we started to go out, and him still flirting with me before we got engaged?" She finished with a playful smirk.

He scoffed, "The fact that Lanki ignored me for a week after we announced we were getting married was honestly the best week of my life in the ED since I started working here at Med. And I'm pretty sure I'll remember the look on Marcel's face for a long time when he walked in on us in the scrub room where he saw you bite my neck, leaving behind your teeth marks and a hickey."

"I didn't hear you complain about it." Her smirk grew bigger.

"That's because I didn't have to go to a meeting that day, but today I do." He leaned forward towards her ear, "Let's continue this conversation at home, shall we?" He whispered before giving her a kiss below her right ear, and one more on her lips before heading towards the elevator.

She stares at his figure as it becomes smaller from the distance and sighs, "Better make sure the hickey I give him tonight be darker then." She giggles before walking towards the doctors' lounge to change into different scrubs.

Chapter 11 (Soulmate AU)

A/N: So my laptop is BARELY functional currently (it’s really old and honestly just needs to be replaced) and I hit a brick wall trying to finish chapter 10 and 11 so this is the best we’re getting. I’m thinking about walking to the library every so often to work on this. I have a friend willing to sell me his laptop when he gets a new desktop, but that won’t be for a while so... Alas please bare with me

A few months past as classes began. Pat and Lo hadn’t really talked much at all to Roman since telling him that Lo went to a nearby school, studying Astronomy and chemical engineering, and Pat was at a different nearby school, studying veterinary sciences and taking evening culinary classes. Everyone else had jobs as well, which made it impossible for anyone to attempt to meet up. Balancing all of the crazy schedules was hard. Roman worked in the school’s theatre department, Virgil had a job at a local coffee shop as a barista late at night, and Logan was an intern at a local observatory. Roman and Virgil didn’t really have time for anything romantic, even after Aunt Mabel and Miss Cici went back to Georgia. It became that whenever they were home together, they’d both just order pizza and watch a movie then Roman would go to bed and Virgil would stay up and make art until he was too tired to stand and passed out on a couch in the art room.

One night, Virgil was working a late shift. It was time for midterms and so there were tons of students coming in and out of the building which made him glad he wasn’t working as the cashier that night, he was already stressed and panicky enough just making coffees and handing them off to people. It was eleven thirty two when he glanced up and met the soft chocolate eyes hidden behind black framed glasses, the dark brown curls sticking out from under a grey cat hoodie framed his freckled face perfectly. “One extra large hot chocolate with whipped cream and caramel drizzle please. The name is Patton Caleb.” Virgil’s jaw dropped and noticed his wrist as the boy lifted his hand to move a strand of hair from his face, causing Virgil to subconsciously rub his matching mark. Before he even knew what he was doing Virgil mumbled to the cashier “I’ll take care of him.”. He made the drink as quickly as he could and made sure it looked perfect before calling out. As he handed the drink to Patton, he noticed the blush on his cheeks and saw him steal a glance at Virgil’s wrist before freezing still then excitedly squealing before getting embarrassed. “Virgil?!” He exclaimed, causing the boy in front of him to blush furiously as he nodded and rubbed the back of his neck.

“Y-yeah P-pat.”

“When do you get off?!” Patton squealed with excitement, causing some murmerings from other patrons.

“C-closing t-time. A-ab-bout th-three.”

“Okay well, I’ll stay here the whole time! I want to get to know you better, since Ro got to keep all your attention for the past few months! Oh this is so exciting!” Virgil just blushed harder and nodded, not really knowing how to handle the ball of energy that was standing directly in front of him.

Time seemed to fly by after that and before Virgil knew it, it was closing time. He ushered the last few customers out of the store, including Patton who waited outside patiently, While Virgil and the other closing employees did the last of the cleaning up for the night. When Virgil finally got out of the building Patton immediately bounded over to him, glowing with excitement and gave a startled Virgil an enthusiastic hug, almost knocking him over. “Sorry!” Patton exclaimed “I’m just so excited to meet you in person! You are so much hotter than I imagined! I’ve been imagining meeting you and Ro and Lo for as long as I can remember! Wow I’m rambling! Sorry! I’m just really excited!” Patton beamed. Virgil thought his smile was so bright that he wondered if the sun was originated there.

“Y-your f-fine. I-I m-m-mean with th-the r-r-r-ramb-b-bling, I-I m-m-mean y-y-you ARE f-f-fine! I-I m-m-mean-”

“I understand what you mean, Virgil.” Patton stated “Hey, how about the next time the three of us are free we can go out! Hey, I know I really cool bar in town we can all go to! I can invite some of my other friends too if you’d like, less pressure to be ‘soulmates’ you know? Like um… let’s all go out and have some fun and get to know each other a bit? I know a good restaurant we can all go to for dinner as well!”

“I-I’ll T-Talk T-To R-Roman ab-bout it. I-I sh-should be g-gett-tt-ing h-home a-any w-ways. H-he’ll f-flip o-out a-and c-call th-the c-cops if I t-take t-too l-long.”

“Yeah, and I got classes in the morning…” He said with a sad look in his eye before immediately perking back up “Anyways! I’ll see you later!” He said before quickly pecking Virgil on the cheek, catching the anxious boy even more off guard as he watched the adorable figure almost skip away in the ice.

“L-later.” He muttered before heading home.

In Liam’s Eyes - Cordonia - Part 1 of 2

Telling the guys had gone exactly as Liam had expected it would. Drake had taken the news considerably well, and Bertrand had not. After Riley had left that night, he pretended to listen to Bertrand lecture him on and on again about the importance of accepting responsibility for one’s actions, and trying (miserably) to give him relationship advice. He sat on the tiny couch in his hotel suite listening to Bertrand drone on and on, but he wasn’t hearing any of it. He was too wrapped up in the words he had heard Riley say before she left that night – she still loved him. She had put up a good act about wanting to be friends and wanting to co-parent effectively together. He was truly starting to believe that he had lost any chance of rekindling their romance. As improper as it had been, Drake and Liam had taken upon themselves to eavesdrop on her conversation with Bertrand. They looked utterly ridiculous pressed up against the hotel door straining to hear anything they were saying. Liam had been taught better etiquette than to invade a private conversation . . . and he knew he risked hearing something that he hadn’t wanted to hear, but he had high hopes that the conversation would yield some sort of understanding as to what was going on through her head . . . he needed to know what she was thinking so that he could work toward fixing their relationship. And then . . . the words he had been waiting for slipped from her lips, and his heart felt as if it had wings. She still loved him. That was all he needed. He knew in that moment exactly what he needed to do. He would do everything he could to make her see that he loved her, and given one more chance, he’d prove to her that they were meant to be together.

After Drake had gone to sleep that night, he sat up pen in hand drafting out a list of things that he needed to accomplish before Riley’s return to Cordonia. The list started off rather simple – researching private physicians, securing a room at the palace for Riley closer to the delivery, ensuring she would be comfortable at the Beaumont estate, a budget for maternity clothes . . . and as the night wore on he began to tackle the more complicated things that needed to be done such as researching ways to cope with hyperemesis, researching issues regarding legitimacy, setting up a nursery, non-disclosure agreements for the staff, talking to Regina. He wanted to show her how committed he was to their relationship and ultimately their child. He wanted to prove to her that he could be the man that she needed and wanted.

His eyes scanned to the last item on the list was something he knew couldn’t happen just yet . . . but he had hoped, that in time, it was something that he’d be able to do and receive the answer he had so desperately wanted – ask Riley to be his wife. He had written it last because he knew it would be the hardest thing to attain. He had hoped, that by proving to her how much he loved her, that she’d trust that he wouldn’t break her heart again. But that was all a part of a much bigger plan . . . something he couldn’t even begin to think about until she was back in the country.

The day of their departure had arrived, and Liam was reluctant to leave Riley behind. He knew she needed to take care of quite a bit of things, before her own return to Cordonia, but it didn’t make leaving her any easier. The last few days had been a blessing really because it gave them an opportunity to work on their communication . . . even if it consisted mostly of Riley dodging any serious discussions of their relationship. She used the words “friends” and “co-parenting” more and more, and it was beginning to drive Liam batty. He was beginning to loathe the word “co-parenting.” Who came up with that term anyway? Co-parenting was not what he wanted. Not in the slightest. He wanted to parent with Riley as a couple . . . not as two separate parents leading two separate lives on two separate continents. He wanted her to be his wife, his partner; not just the woman he happened to share a child with. But . . . as much as it pained him to hear her refer to him as her “friend” or use the word “co-parenting,” he’d bite his tongue, smile, and allow her to carry on with her discussion. He wasn’t going to do anything to jeopardize their still fragile relationship. He had a sinking suspicion that if he pushed too hard, it would only cause her to pull back further, and then, he wouldn’t have any sort of relationship with her at all. That was just wasn’t’ something he was willing to risk. Not when she was carrying his child.

“Are you alright?” Bertrand asked, leaning over toward Liam’s seat. Liam had been quiet for most of the plane ride, his mind still reeling from everything that had happened in New York. His mind had been wandering back to the list he had made and was trying to formulate a plan to make all of it happen.

“No,” Liam admitted sadly. “It feels wrong leaving her behind,” he whispered.

Bertrand nodded in understanding. Like Liam, he had gone through all of the same sorts of emotions with Savannah. Although the circumstances were a tad bit different, Bertrand could still relate to what Liam was going through.

“At least you won the battle,” Bertrand reasoned softly. “She’ll be in Cordonia in a matter of weeks, and she’ll stay there until the child is born. That will buy you time, Your Majesty. She’ll realize what’s at stake, and she’ll come around. Lady Riley may be stubborn, but she’ll do what’s best for the child,” he assured him.

Liam was hopeful, but it didn’t alleviate his fears and worries about leaving her behind in New York, especially when she was still suffering from horrible morning sickness. He felt awful leaving her to deal with all of that. “What kind of man tells the woman who is carrying his child that he needs to return home to tend to the business of court,” he sighed drearily. “She probably thinks I’m choosing Cordonia over her once again,” he sighed.

“Liam, you need to stop beating yourself up over this,” Drake joined in the conversation. “Lawson knows that you couldn’t do anything about leaving. You’re not purposely abandoning her. I’m sure she knows that you’d stay if you could,” he tried to reassure him.

“That maybe so, but I just spent several days telling her that I’d be involved in every step of this pregnancy, and here I am already missing her second obstetrician appointment,” he murmured.

“Can’t you video chat with her?” Maxwell chimed in. “That way you can be there without really being there,” he suggested.

“I’m afraid not . . . I’m swamped with meetings when I get back. One conflicts with the appointment. Bastien’s already suggested that I keep close to court for the next few weeks,” he explained. “Apparently some of the council members are beginning to become concerned about my absence. I mustn’t give the impression that there is anything amiss,” he explained.

“I’m sure Lawson will call you and tell you all about the appointment, Liam. She’s not going to block you out of the kid’s life,” Drake reasoned. “I mean, like Bertrand said . . . she’ll be back in Cordonia in a couple of weeks, and then you won’t have to worry about missing anything,” Drake reasoned.

Liam knew his friends were right. They’d already surpassed one very large bump in the road and that was getting her to agree to move to Cordonia for the rest of the pregnancy. She didn’t have to do that at all. She could have insisted that she stay in New York, and Liam’s hands would be tied. “I know . . . but it doesn’t make things any easier,” he replied sadly.

After their flight had landed in Cordonia, the men went their separate ways, but each tried to leave Liam with a few lasting words of encouragement about things working out between himself and Riley. It had seemed to be the mantra going around – everything will work out in the end; he hoped they were right. He was willing to fight like hell to win Riley back, but he would only be successful if she was willing to accept his efforts. During their last conversation, Liam had promised her that he’s stay in touch with her through text messages and telephone calls. He had explained to her that he’d be busy upon his return, but he’d make every effort to check in on her and make sure that she and the baby were alright. When he got back to the palace, he figured that now was as good a time as any to start working on their communication skills. He whipped out his cell phone and typed out a quick message to her.

LIAM: We’ve landed.

RILEY: Good. Glad you got back safely.

LIAM: How’s the lima bean?

RILEY: Good. He’s been kind to me today. 😊

Liam couldn’t help but smile at the simple exchange. It wasn’t professions of love or filled with the intimacy they once shared, but he’d gladly take it - emojis and all. Their short text conversations had continued over the first few days, mostly with a simple check in and well wishes for a good day. Sometimes she’d include a little anecdote about something funny that happened between her and Andy, and for a moment, it felt like they were building something again. It wasn’t much, but just being able to stay in contact with her was helping Liam push through his days.

He had attempted to call her on his third day back, but the call had gone terribly awry. He was trying to figure out the time difference and when would be best to call her, and based off of his calculations, it happened to land smack dab in the middle of his already busy schedule. Despite knowing how busy he’d be, he tried to call her anyway, and found himself constantly interrupted by various staff members needing him to sign documents or ask questions. He must have put her on hold at least four times throughout their very short conversation. He had felt absolutely terrible and decided that he’d stick to text messages from then on out. As time went on, their text message exchanges had become the highlight of his day. He’d often find himself in bed, sending her little messages wishing her a good day or asking about the status of the baby. Even though there were only a few words shared between them, his heart would thump wildly in anticipation when he saw the three little dots appear on his screen signaling that she was responding to him.

It was also on the third day back in Cordonia, when Liam had decided to hit the ground running on the list he had put together back in New York. Riley’s return was quickly approaching, and most if not all of the items on the list (a part from the last item) would need to be done before she arrived. He decided to approach Bertrand first being that Bertrand seemed very behind the idea of them rekindling a relationship, so there was no doubt in Liam’s mind that Bertrand would want to help in any way possible.

One of the major issues that had caused a rift between him and Riley when she was last in Cordonia was that he hadn’t taken her business seriously. She had griped that he didn’t understand how important it was to her. At the time, she was right. He hadn’t realized how much time and energy she had put into developing it. Seeing the office space and the dedication she had to her business had made him see how invested she was. The awards on the wall and the photos he saw captured how amazingly talented she was and was proof of all of her hard work. He hadn’t wanted her to sacrifice everything she had built in her move to Cordonia, so he wanted her to be able to still be a part of it, even if she had to be thousands of miles away. Although he knew she had intended to leave the business in Alicia’s very capable hands, he had figured she’d still want to be able to check in and do some work every now and again. She was also a visionary when it came to design elements, so he wanted to be sure that she’d be able to sketch freely when she had a few moments. Since she’d be staying at the Beaumont Estate he wanted to make sure that he had enough space to work out of. That’s where Bertrand came in.

“Your Majesty, what do I owe this surprise visit?” Bertrand asked as ushered Liam into the manor. Liam had decided to take an early drive down on his motorcycle to discuss some of the finer details of Riley’s return and her subsequent stay at the Beaumont Estate. However, he also decided to use this as an opportunity to discuss his plan to create some sort of office space for Riley to use while she was there.

“A favor, actually,” he smiled. “For Lady Riley,” Liam explained.

“Oh? Is all well?” Bertrand asked, his voice laced with a bit of concern.

“Oh yes, quite well. We were texting a bit last night and she said that although the morning sickness has been a bit persistent, she doesn’t feel nearly as exhausted. She also hasn’t been too dehydrated. Perhaps, she’s turning a corner and the morning sickness won’t be as bad once she’s here,” Liam said happily.

“Excellent to hear,” Bertrand nodded. “We’ve been preparing her room for her arrival,” Bertrand smiled. “It’ll be nice to have her back. Savannah’s been quite excited about the baby. She went up into the storage loft and pulled out a box of her old maternity clothing and some of Bartie’s newborn outfits. I told her that she was being ridiculous considering Lady Riley wasn’t even showing at all, but she insisted. I hadn’t even realized she had kept any of those things, but apparently she had brought them with her when she first moved from Paris,” he ran his hand along his neck. “She’s placed the box in Lady Riley’s room for her to sort through. Hard to believe we’ll have a baby in the manor,” Bertrand said a bit wistfully. “Bartie was already a toddler by the time they had moved in.”

“Well, that’s actually what I came to talk to you about,” Liam began. “It’s my intent to have Lady Riley living in the palace in the next few months.”

“Oh?” Bertrand asked curiously. “Has she reconsidered the idea of marriage?” He asked a bit eagerly.

“No . . . well at least not yet. It’s actually something I’m trying to work on . . . a plan of sorts,” he smiled. “I know it sounds a bit unorthodox considering she’s already pregnant . . . but it’s my intent to properly court her when she returns . . . and hopefully win her back,” he explained. “I suppose we’d be doing things a bit backwards, but I can’t help but want to give her the normal relationship she was so desperate for back when we first met. It’s my hope to make her move to Cordonia as easy as possible. I don’t want her to have to worry about anything,” he said honestly.

“Well, Your Majesty, that’s wonderfully idealistic . . . but how does any of this pertain to me?” He asked with curiosity.

“Yes well, I’d like to request that a room in the manor be reserved exclusive for Riley to conduct her business in.”

Bertrand looked at him a bit puzzled. “What’s wrong with conducting her business in her bedroom?”

“She’ll need more space than just her room, Bertrand. An office will give her a distraction-free area to check her email, contact Alicia, do her sketches . . . “ he trailed off.

“During her last stay here, she had no problems working out on our veranda,” Bertrand reasoned. “Besides, isn’t that what her assistant is for? Shouldn’t a woman in her condition be resting?” Bertrand asked. “Why on earth would she want to work at all?”

“Her business was such a large part of her life in New York, and I’d hate to take that away from her. If she feels as if she’s still contributing to her business, it might make her stay here a bit easier,” he reasoned. “Maybe even show her that it’s possible to have the both worlds of New York and Cordonia.”

Bertrand sighed, looking at Liam unconvinced.

“It would be only temporarily, Bertrand,” Liam pleaded. “Of course, I’d supply all of the room’s items, furniture . . . anything else she may need. I’d just need you to find a room, make some space, and allow me to order the items she may need.

“Your Majesty . . .” Bertrand trailed off, still a bit dubious of Liam’s plan.

“Please, Bertrand,” he said. “For Riley,” he added, hoping to appeal to Bertrand’s soft spot for her. It took a little more convincing, but Bertrand had eventually given in and agreed to find some space in one of their spare rooms for Lady Riley’s office space. Liam assured him that he’d purchase all of the office equipment and would have it delivered by the following week. With that item checked off the list, Liam was ready to move onto the next item – finding a space in his private quarters for a nursery.

He hadn’t spent much time renovating his private quarters when he became King, mostly because they were so busy with the engagement tour, and then, when he went through with his marriage to Madeline, there was no need to change or expand anything about the space. A married couple wouldn’t be residing there. They may have been married, but Liam planned to continue living there alone. He made arrangements to assign Madeline her own private quarters in a separate wing of the palace. Now that Riley was returning to Cordonia and they were expecting a child, he wanted a place just for his child. Something he could say had been made just for him or her. This was something that he definitely could not do alone. He’d need Drake’s help in getting it done. He was absolutely clueless when it came to these sorts of things, but Drake had spent several summers working for a construction company, so he decided to call Drake over that same afternoon to see if he’d be able to help Liam make it happen.

“What’s got you so excited?” Drake asked as he knocked lightly on the slightly open door to Liam’s private quarters.

Liam had been looking in the spare room just off of his master bedroom. He had been jotting down some notes as he looked around the empty room.

“What’d you do with all the crap that was in here?” Drake asked, a bit surprised to see the room so bare.

“I downsized,” Liam said simply. “Here . . . hold this,” he murmured, as he handed Drake the other side of a measuring tape.

“What’s this for?” He asked, arching an eyebrow.

“I need the room’s measurements,” he said as if it explained absolutely everything. He tugged the metal across the room until he reached the other end, jotting down a few more numbers on his paper.

“Okay . . .what for?” Drake said in confusion.

“I want to turn this into a nursery,” he said quietly.

“Oh,” Drake nodded, looking around. “Huh,” he lifted his fingers to rub at the stubble on his chin. “That’s a pretty cool idea,” he smiled, clapping Liam on the back. “But isn’t that what contractors are for?” He asked. “Make them take the measurements . . .hell, they might be more accurate than you,” Drake chuckled.

“I haven’t hired any contractors,” he said simply.

Drake’s eyes widened a bit. “And why not?”

“I think it would make more of a statement if I did the work myself,” he explained. “Well . . . with your help.”

“My help?” Drake’s voice cracked a bit as he licked his lips nervously.

“I’m not the handiest,” he explained. “For safety purposes it would be nice to have someone who knows what they’re doing work on the more complicated steps,” he reasoned.

“Aw hell, Liam. I guess . . . I mean, it’s not like we have to get things done right away . . . how much longer we got? Six or Seven months . . . that’s plenty of time to get this room transformed. Maybe we can even ask Savannah to help with the decorating side of things . . . and Andy too, once she’s back.”

“I was actually hoping to get it done before Riley gets in,” he said quietly.

Drake looked at him in disbelief. “That’s in like a week,” he exclaimed.

“Yes, I know that puts us on a tight schedule,” Liam frowned.

“Tight? Try impossible,” he fumed. “How did you think I’d be able to get the work done before then?” he asked incredulously.

Drake continued to rant and rave about how much work needed to be done as he walked around the empty space, pointing to various parts of the room indicating how much time and energy it would take to get things fixed up properly. He kept rattling on and on about how it would be impossible to pull off such a big project in such a short amount of time. Liam knew he was being a bit unrealistic, but he had high hopes that the room would be in at least some sort of shape close to a finished product before Riley came back. Despite all the grumbling, Drake had agreed to start working on the room right away.

As the days went on, Liam had done his best to get most of the items off of his checklist taken care of. Many of the items were easy enough to pull off. He had already procured a wonderful physician who would take excellent care of Riley for the remainder of her pregnancy, and even found a reputable pediatrician who would gladly do house visits when it came time for the their child’s well-baby checkups. He had hired them immediately after he interviewed them and requested that they sign a non-disclosure agreement to prevent their employment from being released to the press. He’d also managed to convince Bertrand in giving Riley an extra room in the house so that she’d have a place to work if she needed. He even had convinced Drake to renovate the spare room in his private quarters into a nursery, which was coming along quite nicely. That item had been a bit of a wildcard, but despite Drake making his complaints well-known, his oldest and dearest friend had already collected the necessary materials and supplies to renovate the room for the baby. Things were coming along, and he was beginning to grow more and more excited for Riley’s return. However, as he scanned the list, he couldn’t help but frown as he saw an item that he had been doing his best to put off – Regina.

Informing Regina about the pregnancy? It was one item on the list that he had hoped he’d be able to put off for as long as possible. Liam knew that he’d have to face Regina eventually. He couldn’t risk her finding out about the pregnancy through court gossip or even an unexpected media release. And, the more he thought about it, he realized that Regina could be rather useful in handling the press in regards to the pregnancy. Perhaps, she’d even know how to handle the issue of legitimacy. That alone would take a large weight of his shoulders. He still had high hopes that Riley would eventually come around and agree to be his wife, but there was still a nagging doubt at the back of his mind that wanted him to be prepared if the outcome was not what he had expected.

Liam had been in his study on his fifth evening back in Cordonia. Regina had called several times over the previous days requesting to speak with him. He made up various excuses, trying to delay their meeting for as long as possible. He’d wanted to be a bit more prepared before speaking with her about the pregnancy. He had hoped he would have made a breakthrough on his research regarding the issue on legitimacy, but he hadn’t, and as time was dwindling, he had no choice but to look outside his inner circle for more support. It was then that he realized that he needed to involve Regina . . . sooner, rather than later.

“Bastien, will you request that Regina come to the palace later this evening,” he said as Bastien had come into his study. “ Let her know that we need to hold an emergency meeting,” he said rather vaguely.

“Sire? It may not be my place, but you’ve been a bit distracted lately. Is everything okay?”

“In time, Bastien, I’ll disclose everything that I have been dealing with for the last few weeks, however, now is not the moment for that,” he murmured as he took a long swig from his glass of scotch.

“I understand, Your Majesty. I’ll make the arrangements and have the conference room prepared. Will I be informing the council of the meeting as well?”

“No,” he said sternly. “This is a private matter, unrelated to any court business,” he sighed.

Bastien arched an eyebrow in curiosity, but didn’t dare to say anything more. “As you wish, Your Majesty,” he bowed his head solemnly before leaving Liam’s study.

He took another quick swig from his scotch glass, before placing it down on his desk. He had hoped that things with Regina would go smoothly, but he knew she’d insist that they marry. It was the natural procession of things. It was what would be expected, and he knew she wouldn’t be pleased with any other outcome.

Bastien had returned nearly an hour later with word that Regina had just arrived at the palace. He started to walk toward the conference room, prepared for whatever reaction she’d have. Regina had always wanted Liam to have children. She knew the importance of having an heir and how crucial it was to continue the monarchy’s lineage. She had desperately wanted him to have children with Madeline, and when he had flat out refused, she said if their marriage was not going to produce an heir, there was no point in staying married to her. He was inclined to agree, and regretted going through with the sham of a marriage in the first place. He held a lot of resentment toward Regina after everything that had happened with Riley. Drake had suggested that he provide her with some lands on the opposite end of the country, that way she wouldn’t impede in his ability to rule as king, but he couldn’t do it. Despite everything that happened between them over the years, she was still his step-mother, and his father had loved her dearly. Call it loyalty or nostalgia . . . whatever it was, he just couldn’t bring himself to remove her from court.

“Liam, it’s not like you to summon me for an emergency meeting,” Regina said gravely as she hurriedly entered the conference room. She looked around the empty room in concern. “Where are the rest of the council members?” She asked hesitantly.

He turned to face her as she hurried in. “This was a personal emergency, Regina. I summoned you not as the Queen Mother, but as my step-mother,” he said quietly, as he motioned for her to have a seat.

She studied him carefully. “I suppose this has something to do with your visit to the States,” she murmured. “Bastien mentioned you were called away on an emergency,” her mouth formed into a thin line of disapproval. “You went to see Lady Riley,” she concluded.

“Yes,” he said simply. “There was a medical emergency. I thought it prudent to see to her well-being in person. It sounded rather serious at the time,” he explained.

Regina looked stunned for a brief moment, before quickly composing herself. “I’m assuming she’s well again since you’ve returned to court?”

Liam shook his head sadly. “She’s been diagnosed with a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum.”

Her eyes narrowed a bit, allowing the information to sink in. “Emesis . . . as in vomiting . . .” She paused studying him carefully. “As in morning sickness,” she pieced the information together, her mouth falling open a bit. “She’s with child. Your child,” she said slowly.

“Yes,” he nodded.

“Well, I suppose you’ve gotten everything you’ve always wanted, Liam,” she said sardonically. “You’ll marry her of course, and soon. We mustn’t allow the press or the council to suspect that the pregnancy happened outside of marriage,” she said curtly. “I never would have expected this from you, Liam. Leo, yes, but never you. I always thought that you had better sense than this.”

“It’s not that simple,” he exhaled.

“Of course it is. You’ve been pining after that girl for years, Liam. Marriage is the logical solution the dilemma you’ve found yourself in. If you don’t . . . the legitimacy of the child will come into question. We can request that Bastien find an excellent press secretary to release a statement about your rekindled relationship with Lady Riley and how you’ve decided to marry. Then, after a few months, when the excitement surrounding the new marriage has worn off, you’ll release another statement announcing the pregnancy,” she stated.

“You seem to have it all figured out,” he glared at her. “But that will not be how we will be proceeding at this time,” Liam said firmly. “She doesn’t want to get married. She plans on returning to Cordonia until the baby is born. Then, she plans to raise our child in New York when they are cleared to travel,” he sighed.

“And you’re going to allow this?” She exclaimed.

“It’s not a simple matter of allowing it, Regina. I’m going to do everything in my power to ensure she stays in Cordonia. I have every intention of making her my wife,” he said simply. “However, that’s why I requested your presence here this evening. I wanted to see if you had any knowledge about any sort of loops holes about the legitimacy clause of royal heirs being able to ascend to the throne. In case we are unable to resolve the issues related to our relationship, I’d like to ensure that my child will be able to follow my reign should he or she so choose in the future.”

Liam watched as Regina’s face contorted in pure outrage. “That foolish girl,” she shook her head in disbelief. “Your father was right to do what he did all those years ago, Liam. I know you couldn’t understand it at the time, but he truly had your best interest at heart. He was right to worry considering the mess you’ve found yourself in,” she admonished.

“Regina, I feel as if I have irrevocably damaged our relationship beyond repair. She’s right to be hesitant to commit to marriage to me. I didn’t understand it at first, but I do now. I’ve broken her heart not once, but twice now. She’s adamant that we come to some sort of agreement about co-parenting and visitation . . .” Liam tried his best to compose himself, when in actuality he felt like he was on the verge of tears. “This isn’t how I pictured myself becoming a father. I still have high hopes that I’ll be able to convince Riley to give our relationship another chance, but if I am unable to, I would like to be prepared with whatever other options I may have,” he reasoned.

“Do you want me to see what our lawyers can do?” Regina asked coolly. “I’m sure they’ll be able to formulate some sort of plan to ensure that the child can at least stay in Cordonia. Then, perhaps, we’ll be able to handle the issue of legitimacy once you gain custody . . .” she trailed off.

“I don’t want our lawyers involved in this, Regina,” he said firmly slamming his hand onto the conference room’s table. “And I certainly don’t want to throw myself into a custody battle against her. Don’t do anything of the sort. I’m not ready to involve anyone outside of my close circle of friends. I could never blindside Riley that way. Even if our relationship doesn’t work out, I’d like to keep things as cordial and amicable as possible. For the child’s sake. Involving attorneys would only push her further away from me,” he reasoned.

“Then how are you going to proceed, Liam? This isn’t the sort of matter that will stay hidden forever. You realize that don’t you?”

“Of course I do, Regina. Lady Riley will be returning to Cordonia in two weeks and she and I will be coming together to discuss the matter upon her return. In the interim, I was hoping to gather as much historical records as I can in relation to issues of legitimacy . . . should we need to fight to declare my child legitimate, at least I’ll be well-armed with the proper research.”

“Are you mad, Liam. Think of the implications,” she said angrily. “The monarchy’s stability may have improved over the last few years, Liam, but a scandal like this will jeopardize everything we have worked so hard for,” she said firmly.

“What is it that you would like me to do Regina?” He asked, the sound of his voice echoing in the empty conference room.

“Give her two options,” she said seriously. “Marry as soon as we are able to make the arrangements or make arrangements to take care of the pregnancy.”

He scoffed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Do I need to spell it out for you?” she scoffed. “Terminate the pregnancy, Liam.”

He looked at her coldly. “Now who’s mad?” he asked angrily.

“You’re being far too emotional about this. You need to look at this from the perspective of a monarch,” she reasoned.

“And your solution is to pretend that my baby never existed?” He sneered at her. “I knew you were calculating, Regina, but I never thought you would go as far as suggesting that I convince Riley to murder my own child, the heir to the Cordonian throne no less.”

“That child will only be the heir if you marry that woman, Liam. She was no good for you during the social season, and she is no good for you now,” she said firmly.

“This isn’t your choice, Regina.”

“What other option do you have? Do you think she’ll just move here and the two of you can pretend that there isn’t a country to think about? People’s lives to think about? This isn’t how things work Liam. Sacrifices need to be made.”

“And I’ve made my fair share of sacrifices over the years, Regina. Far too many. Far too many times before. This will not be one of them,” he bellowed.

Regina flinched a little, not expecting him to have such a sudden outburst.

“Regina, I didn’t tell you this to ask your opinion on the matter. I told you this because you are my step-mother,” he said sadly. “You are the only parent I have left,” he murmured.

“I’m not sure what you are requesting of me, Liam. To the best of my knowledge, there haven’t been any sorts of issues pertaining to legitimacy in any of your ancestors’ reigns. Your father had always worried about Leo. He had always hoped and prayed that the situation would never arise that would put us in such a predicament . . . and thank goodness, there was never the need to make any sort of arrangements . . . however . . . considering the circumstance we find ourselves in, perhaps he should have formulated a plan for this sort of situation,” she said grimly. “What is it that you expect me to do here? I’ve offered my counsel, which you scoffed at. I’m afraid there’s nothing else I can contribute here.”

“Perhaps, act as my stepmother,” he sighed. “Support me. Tell me that everything will work out in time. I’m not sure, Regina. As the only family member I have left in this country, I suppose I wanted a bit of compassion. I suspect that I expected too much from you,” he said with disdain in his voice.

“Liam, I don’t know what else to say,” she said, effectively washing her hands of the entire situation.

“Say nothing then,” he shrugged, turning away from her. His hands gripped firmly on the windowsill.

“Liam . . . through everything that has happened . . . I assure you . . . I have only ever had your best interest at heart. Like your father, I only wanted to see you succeed in a future that you were meant to have,” she tried to explain.

“Regina, you’ve only ever had Cordonia’s best interest at heart, and because I’ve subscribed to that mentality, I’ve quite possibly lost the woman that I love . . . I’ll be damned if I’ll let it be the reason I lose my child as well,” he snapped.

Regina pursed her lips. “Well, I suppose our meeting is over,” she said coldly.

“You’re dismissed,” he said with a slight sneer.

She turned toward the conference room’s door, before Liam called out to her.

“And Regina?” He waited for her to turn around and face him before continuing.

“I don’t have to remind you that it is imperative that everything discussed behind these doors is to remain confidential. Nothing is to be said to anyone – not even the council. I am not asking this of you as your stepson, but I am ordering you as your reigning monarch,” he said stiffly.

She nodded, a bit stunned, before once again walking away.

Liam gazed out the window, a bit broken from the exchange. As problematic as his relationship with Regina had been, he had always hoped that at some point, she’d put aside her obsession with Cordonia to just once take his feelings and needs into account. How wrong he had been.

mental health & job stuff - tw: eating disorders, anxiety, sexual assault, self harm

this week has been difficult. on tuesday and thursday, I saw my new therapist and psychiatrist respectively.

the moment i saw my therapist’s office, i had reservations on whether she could relate to me. she was a white woman, perhaps in her 30s who was wearing one of those ... convertible skirts ?... you know the one where you can wear as a skirt with a foldable waist band thing tt also can be worn as a tube top dress. i just google’d convertible skirt and patanogia came up (white ppl who have the luxury of time and money to go camping in the summer brand). her office smelt like one of those autumn-scented candles. she had a chakra wall hanging / scroll thing. the appointment started off pretty open-ended. i think she was trying to give me ~space~ to open up so that the conversation flowed naturally. but i just felt kinda lost bc it took me months through 2 clinics and 3 intake appts to finally see her. @ tt point, i’m tired of hearing “so tell me why you’re here today” .... my scepticism increased exponentially when she recommended practising yoga, being present and mindfulness training. honestly, idk why she works there ? bc she’s serving patients seeking treatment through the LA County Department of Mental Health. considering the issues they face and their lived experiences and socioeconomic status, i don’t think following a 10-min yoga lesson through an app (she seriously tried to recommend an app to me) is gonna make a difference. anyway, my next appt is in another 3 weeks.

my psychiatrist is an older Filipino women, maybe in her 40s or 50s ... and the way she talks kinda reminds me of my mum (who is a big trigger for me). she asked lots of racially microaggressive questions before reading my file. really reminds me of how my mum exotifies my sisters and i for being mixed. i had to repeat details about my race, country i grew up and family structure a lot. she asked about my religious beliefs and i affirmed that i still identify as a muslim then she asked me if all muslim women have to go through female genital mutilation (there is a history of FGM in my family) ... and just, i can’t. her question came out more as a statement that she wanted me to confirm. i had to explain how it’s more of a mix of sociocultural factors than religious practise, tt not every muslim woman is subjected to it and there is an international response to educate these communities on its harmful effects.

she also brought up the sexual assault tt happened when i was in high school. i alr felt distrustful and uncomfortable @ tt point ... i couldn’t make myself refer to him as a paedophile. she asked me who was this man and i just like... lost for words ? felt too ashamed ? ... i’m really stuck on how i couldn’t just refer to him for what he was. i guess i do have lots of lingering issues feeling like i am to blame for what happened. we also ran into some issues with my rx. my current pcp didn’t recommend me for my usual annual cardiology visit bc she believes i’ve been stable for a long enough time. but my psychiatrist strongly prefers if i can get an ECG. she did give me a rx for 10 mg lexapro though so... we’ll see how tt goes. i decided to finally seek medication because of my anxiety at work. i didn’t want it to affect my job performance. they also took my vitals ... the usual stuff, my blood pressure is low and i’m underweight. i need to go back for blood work on tuesday.

speaking of job performance ... i went to a career fair at my alma mater. i had a federal work study position at the career development center as a communications assistant (basically a combo of outreach, distribution, marketing, social media management, data anallytics) so it was different to be on the other side of things. one of the employers present contacted me for an interview. the interview was successful and they extended me an offer. then they gave me the runaround for 2 weeks and i received an email yesterday rescinding the job offer. needless to say, i was blindsided. here’s the time line of events

10/19 thursday - attended job fair

10/20 friday - received a call to schedule an interview then an email confirmation for interview

10/24 tuesday - went in for interview (had to move my psychiatrist appt which essentially changed my psychiatrist so ... idk if i could have had a better fit. i’m miffed abt this.)

10/25 wednesday - phone call from HR offering me the position, they told me i could have until 10/30 to make a decision. they also said they wanted a 11/06 start date if possible. i told them i had to give 2 weeks notice at my current employer as proper protocol

10/27 friday - i rang HR and left a voicemail indicating i’d be interested and wanted to discuss benefits etc

10/30 monday - i rang HR again and told them i had left them a message on friday and would love to hear back from them soon. no phone call back. in the afternoon, i sent an email to the recruiter i originally handed my resume to letting him know i’ve been unsuccessful in reaching the HR person and would appreciate an update. he rang me back assuring me the offer was still on the table and they would gladly have me and he would email me an official offer by the end of day, also stressed 11/06 start date and i again repeated the 2 weeks notice spiel and could HR send me a summary of the benefits

11/01 wednesday - i ring HR and finally speak to the HR person. she didn’t receive any of my messages and the recruiter didn’t inform her of what i requested. she said she usually is not in the office mondays and fridays. she sounds in a hurry and is in the middle of doing payroll. i keep it short and express interest in accepting the offer. could i have summary of the health insurance plan and possibly negotiate a slightly higher salary ? she agrees to send me a official written offer by the end of the day or tomorrow. again they emphasise 11/06 start date... i’m like really confused but just repeat that i would love to start asap but also what about 2 weeks notice

11/02 thursday - i receive an email from HR rescinding the job offer with the explanation they had already filled in all the positions they were recruiting for.

this post is getting super long. there were red flags abt this company from the beginning but i was holding out hope bc surely a university would have thoroughly vetted the employers they invite to a career fair. also bc i worked for the CDC and knew these employers & established a rapport through my position there. i’m still trying to process everything. i’m mostly crushed at the realisation tt i will have to work another black friday in retail. i would hear things abt ppl not being able to work bc of mental health issues. i nvr discredited them but i also didn’t really have a concept of it ? now i have a lived experience. it is tortuous having to think of slogging through another holiday season when i was so close to leaving. i had a co-worker who just left and we were congratulating each other on finally getting out. it feels so defeating and depressing to still be stuck / left behind. this feels so much worse than an outright rejection. added onto normal anxiety associated w/ the recent grad job hunt, now i’m catastrophising what if this happens with another potential employer ? i keep wondering about the reasons why they rescinded ? maybe i shouldn’t have negotiated ? maybe i should have just accepted when they rang - i didn’t have any other offers on the table... maybe i tried to get in touch with them too much ? maybe i didn’t pass the background check ? maybe something went wrong w/ my references ? ...even though they kept insisting on like an impossible start date plus never sending me an official offer therefore preventing me from resigning and agreeing to their start date. i kinda want to have a meeting with my ex boss to let her know about my experience and maybe get advice on um... being aware of warning signs to prevent this from happening again ? but i don’t want it to sound like i’m blaming the university for bringing on shady companies ... i know my experience is not reflective of everyone else’s. it’s hard not to internalise this and feel like there is something wrong with me. another thing is ... i have like no written evidence of everything in between so on email it just looks like i had an interview and then they rejected me. and my phone calls which they nvr answered looks like i was the one hounding them when ... understandably i wanted to move the hiring process along bc they were adamant on the 11/06 start date. i also needed the time to make the very big financial decision of buying a fucking car in order to get to work (the office is in orange county which has 0 convenient transport options esp. going btwn LA and orange counties)

i’m really anxious abt having more allergic reactions at work - especially bc the managers now know. i have an appt with an allergist but it’s not until january. idk if my skin can survive. i can hide it when it’s on my body but lately it’s been flaring up on my hands - which i use to touch merchandise, handle money, stock shelves, build displays ... just lots of touching and hand contact with possible allergens. i cried in the car after work yesterday and have been battling thoughts of self harm since wednesday. sigh... i’ll have to call this afternoon asking for next week’s work schedule at the store. tt familiar feeling of being overwhelmed and wanting everything to stop is coming back.

Are you still taking family prompts? If so, I'd love to read something for “Here, I’ll zip you up.” with Tim and Damian :) Love your writing and your blog!!

I’m always taking prompts :D And thank you very much, I had a lot of fun writing this and I really hope you like it!

Read on AO3

It’s one of those weeks - you know the ones.

It starts with three WE accountants turning rogue. It’s honestly more annoying than surprising, since it’s almost Christmas and there are a lot of year-end financial statements to be done. And, still in the name of honesty, Tim’s already done enough of them to understand how someone could think that turning to crime would be a better life choice.By thursday the head of HR starts her own crime empire, and when they schedule a meeting about it everybody in the department claims that they knew she’d end up doing something like that, what with all the pictures of the Joker on her desk, and Tim has to make a tremendous effort not to point out that maybe, maybe, that issue should’ve been brought up before their boss started robbing banks.

Today is - thankgodforsmallmercies - friday, and in the morning someone in the technical department decided it was a good day to bring their expertise to Two Face’s business. Tim didn’t even ask about details, just marched into his own office, shut the door behind him, and let the police deal with it. In a few hours he’ll go home, put on the Red Robin costume and go help them anyway.“Don’t you check these people background before hiring them?” Damian asks, sitting at Tim’s desk, surrounded by piles of books taller than him. He looks like a baby accountant from hell, what with the suit and the scowl and his feet not reaching the floor and the embezzlement of everything Tim owns, but the desk and the computer and the pens really are a small price to pay for his help, as much as Tim hates to admit it.

And it’s not like he didn’t ask literally anyone else before deciding to put away both his pride and his survival instinct and recruit Damian to help him with this mess, but Bruce is in Hong Kong with Alfred and Cass, and Dick had smiled apologetically at him and said something like “sorry, I’m not so good with numbers, little bird” - and well, Tim knows it’s not really true but also true enough not to push. Jason could help - Tim knows he could, because as much as the bastard likes to play dumb they both know he’s really not - but when asked he just laughed to his face. Barbara didn’t laugh but was already overwhelmed with her work, and Stephanie had blatantly thrown a piece of her waffle at him.

So yeah, his thirteen year old ex-assassin little brother was basically the most qualified and experienced of them, and the only one that actually agreed to help - although not without a little convincing and blackmailing, but yeah, Tim was borderline desperate there.

“You know we do”, he answers absent-mindedly, sitting on the floor with his laptop on his crossed legs and reaching for a book from one of his own piles. “We have one of the most strict job screening process in the city, as a matter of fact.”

“It’s obviously inefficient”, Damian retorts. And well, he’s not wrong. Then again, this is Gotham, and in Gotham sometimes perfectly normal people turn into criminals out of nowhere. It’s just a fact.

“So what do you propose? A trial by combat?”, Tim snaps, without really meaning it. He’s tired. Having to pull double shifts both at WE - to cover for the fugitive staff - and as Red Robin - to cover Batman’s absence - means that he’s getting so little sleep that he’s actually beginning to be affected by it, and since his sleeping schedule has never been anything less than disastrous, that’s literally saying something.

Damian shoots him a disdainful look but doesn’t start a fight like he would normally do, and Tim realizes with a pang of guilt that Damian and Robin are both pulling the same hours as he is, and if Tim is wrecked by it, than he can’t even begin to imagine how the brat’s still standing (or, well, still sitting straight at least).

He ventures an attentive glance in Damian’s direction for the first time today and, yeah, it’s not good. Chin resting on his hand and lips tightly pressed together, the kid has dark bags under his eyes, and despite the furrowed brow Tim can see his eyelashes dropping while he reads. Under them, his eyes are red and swollen, and that’s mostly Damian’s own fault because when Tim offered him his reading glasses not only had the demon spawn refused, but he’d been also very descriptive about what he would do with them if Tim had dared to insinuate doubts about his perfect vision again. Still, the pang of guilt becomes a stab wound and Tim clears his throat.

“I’m getting some coffee, you want something?”, he offers.

“Tt.”

“Tea it is, then”, Tim decides, standing up and sending his laptop crashing on the floor at the same time.

“Shit.”

Damian, never one to be too tired to mock one of his siblings when fair mocking is in order, snorts at him.

“Shut up!”, Tim shouts, kneeling down to pick the computer up, then he takes a look at the cracked screen and at the notifications that just popped up and swears again. “Shit, shit, shit!”

This time Damian only huffs.

“You have dozen of laptops laying around”, the brat reminds him. “Quit being a whiny baby about it and go back to work.”

“It’s not the computer, it’s the press conference”, Tim explains in a frustrated sigh. “The one we’re supposing to have right now. Jesus, why didn’t you remind me? Why nobody reminded me?”

“Do I look like your secretary, Drake?”, Damian asks, sounding genuinely offended, but Tim can see the guilt flashing behind his eyes. He forgot too. Good. One thing less the little demon will be able to use against him once Bruce comes back and asks for a report. “As for the last surviving minions you call staff, they called themselves sick right after the tech maniac burned half the computers as an homage to Two Faces.”

“Right. Okay. Fine”, Tim sighs. He takes a look at his watch, at the broken laptop, at Damian, and then at the watch again.

“We’re still in time to be fashionably late instead of just rude”, he decides, and in three swift motions he grabs his coat, Damian’s jacket and the brat’s hand and heads for the door. “Let’s go.”

Damian stumbles behind him, caught off guard by the sudden gesture, and they’re almost at the elevators before he regains enough composure to curse at him.

“Yeah, yeah”, Tim answers, completely unimpressed, and steps into the cabin. “Just put your coat on, it’s freezing outside and the last thing I need is for you to get sick.”

He listens to a quite imaginative - although pretty short for Damian’s standards - string of insults with one hear while trying to put in order the bunch of post-it that are supposed to be his speech for today (not an easy task, what with them being all sticky and clinging on his fingers and on his jacket and on about everything else near him, grumpy demon spawn included).

He fishes out the last of them from the back pocket of his pants, removes another from Damian’s shoulder and once they hit the ground floor he’s pretty confident on having them all collected (and if not, well, he’s very good at improvising).

The first thing he notices when he steps out of the elevator is that between the police, the journalists, the receptionists and the now officeless IT crew, the atrium is pretty much packed with people. The second thing he notices is that Damian’s not behind him anymore.

“Damian?”

He looks around and finds him still by the elevators, slouched against a wall, trying to support himself with one hand and rubbing his eyes with the other. Tim quickly retraces his steps and he’s already reaching out to him when Damian raises his head and shoots him a poisonous glare.

“I’m fine”, he growls, and immediately straightens himself up. “Let’s go.”

The brat stiffly walks past him, and Tim hesitates, torn between a rancorous whatever and a more indulgent understanding. Being a brother is not an easy job, but being Damian’s brother is something else entirely. And that means he needs to be smart about this.

Walking besides him, Tim lets the kid reach the entrance, then puts a hand on his shoulder to stop him.

“Put your coat on”, he repeats, and Damian turns around, probably to snap at him again, but Tim tilts his head in the direction of the crowd of journalists waiting beyond the glass doors and just a few feet from them.

Damian glares both at them and at him, for a few seconds seems to consider punching Tim anyway, then he growls and caves in and Tim feels himself frowning a bit more at the way the kid’s tired fingers fumble with the buttons of his coat.

Sighing, and praying Damian’s too tired to immediately react with the indignation he knows his gesture’s going to cause, Tim goes down on his knee in front of his younger brother.

“Here, I’ll zip you up”, he says out loud, for all the bystanders to hear (and also to remind Damian that there are bystanders).

Taken aback again - for the second time in less than ten minutes, Tim is definitely going to mark the day on his calendar - Damian only blinks and looks down at him.

“You do realize that my coat doesn’t have a zip, right?”

Tim scoffs, quickly finishes buttoning him up, then makes a show to adjust the collar of Damian’s jacket while grabbing it and pulling the kid closer to him.

“Shut it, baby Satan, and listen”, he retorts, lowering his voice to a conspiratory tone. “I’m stuck with this press bullshit thing but I need you to go back to my office and look at the surveillance videos from this morning. See if the tech psycho dropped any hint on where he was going to meet Two Faces. I forgot to do it and I don’t want the police to confiscate the videos before we look at them.”

“So you forgot to do your homework and I have to do it for you?”, Damian asks, raising an eyebrow, then he opens his mouth again to what Tim imagines is going to be a long, arrogant and contemptuous rant, and since he’s trying to be nice here and doesn’t want to have reasons to regret it, he cuts him off right away.

“You said you were going to help”, he reminds him. “And I still have that footage from the last time you snuck out with Jon. Bruce is not going to be happy about it.”

Damian closes his mouth and narrows his eyes in what he’d probably like to be another death glare, but truth to be told, he only looks sleepy as hell, with that frown and his puffy eyes and messy hair, and in a momentary lapse of reason Tim just really, really wants to hug him.

“Please”, he adds instead, and that kind of does the trick.

“You owe me, Drake”, Damian answers. “And I will collect.”

Tim solemnly nods and stands up again.

“I’ll be up in one hour top to help you, okay?”, he adds, just to steady his bluff.

As expected, Damian’s answer is less than polite.

The press conference ends two hours later, and when Tim finally goes back to his office he finds Damian exactly where he thought he’d be: asleep at his desk with the surveillance videos still running on the computer screen in front of him.

He weighs for a moment the idea of moving him from the desk to the couch - not because he cares about the demon spawn’s sleep but because his office chair is really comfy and he’d like to have it back after almost a week of sitting on the floor, thank you very much - but in the end he decides that it’s not really worth it. Damian deserves some sleep and Tim deserves some quiet.

So he walks towards the desk and just wraps his own coat around Damian’s shoulder. Noticing the pink flutter of one surviving post-it sticking from the back of his jacket, he picks it up, draws a smiley face on it and, after a moment of hesitation, gently pushes it against Damian’s forehead until it sticks there. Then, since the kid is still completely out of it and Tim’s tired and nowhere near a good night sleep, but mostly because whatever, he smiles too and ruffles his brother’s hair for good measure.

Winter Training 2017 (Part 1 Of 4) – Aaron Buggle

A successful start to your winter training starts before you finish your current season. Experience from over 10 long and arduous winters has taught me the importance of forward planning, setting goals and organizing my winter before it even begins.

Not doing this and beginning your winter without a plan, is the start of what’s been dubbed as ‘ the headless chicken phenomenon’.

In other words riding around aimlessly and leaving a whole heap of adaptations on the table in the process. There is a process of planning and organization that makes your winter far more beneficial in terms of cost benefit.

You see when you make solid plans you’ve given a rider something to aim for; something to challenge his skills against; something to measure his progress with, and something that gives purpose to his investment of effort, time and money.

All this by making a simple plan.

Before You End Your Season

You need to have your winter break scheduled; yes you need those dates nailed down in my opinion.

Too bad if you’re reading this too late!

I always take two weeks (personal preference) in October that is followed by some cross training for another 2 weeks and normal practice resumes on November 1st.

A mistake a lot riders make is that they start organizing everything after their couple of weeks rest and then it turns into a month or more of faffing about trying to get started when in fact, you’re ready to get going.

Make It A Proper Rest!

Your time off the bike should be physical and psychological down time –at least it shouldn’t have any cycling related stressors. This period off the bike will differ greatly depending on the rider and the season they’ve endured.

But the thing is there’s quite a bit to consider when you kick off your winter training.

Pretty quickly this stuff can get on top of you and it’s easy to get a bit stressed out, that’s why I suggest starting before you take your winter break.

I’ve my winter bike booked into the shop for its service, I’ll book a performance test for the first month back riding so I have my baseline. There’s also nutrition and strength and conditioning to consider – perhaps they’re the stone unturned for you and you want to try implementing them this year.

Well, the start of the winter is the time to do it.

That’s all before you even start making new goals for next year and most importantly before you start periodising and planning the training you’ll need to do to take you there.

If you get as much of this stuff organized as you can before your break, believe me, you’ll be more relaxed, and as a result your transition back into training will be all the more smoother.

It also means your time off the bike is a proper physical and psychological rest – the whole idea of the winter break in the first place.

Making a Plan & Setting Targets

What is it that your winter training is aiming to improve?

What events are you aiming for?

What is your bull’s-eye?

When should you peak?

What is the best sequence of training to get you in the best shape of your life for that key event?

The answers to these questions are crucial to answer before you even clip in and start your winter training.

Most riders don’t reap the rewards of a good winter because they don’t know what it is they are trying to improve – this needs to be clearly set out every time you go out on a winter ride.

The dividing up of these periods is referred to as ‘periodisation’.

Starting Point

I’d start this whole process by accessing the season that’s just passed when it’s fresh in your mind.

What worked?

What didn’t?

Did your training methods have the desired effect?

What factors limited your performance in events?

Be specific, was it that you just couldn’t finish well, was it your endurance or perhaps it was those short steep hills?

Get it all down on paper and for god sake if you didn’t improve following last winters efforts don’t do the same thing again – that’s insane.

The next step is to identify your goals for next season.

I’ve made balls of this for many years – picking goals that seemed like the right ones to choose on paper…

It’s super important to pick events that really ignite something within.

That said picking out events from the calendar is only the crust of goal setting.

This is where the real coaching begins. The fitness variables that need to be trained to elicit the adaptations required to take you to your goal need to be systematically planned into your programme – not trained by chance!

This is what’s known within coaching circles as ‘periodization’.

Periodisation

In coaching we sometimes refer to the annual cycle of the year as the ‘macro training cycle’, and the different phases of training within the periodisation plan as ‘meso training cycles’.

These will normally be a preparation phase, a base phase, a build phase, a specific phase, a race phase and a taper phase.

Within each of these phases we adjust the zonal training load to stimulate the different physiological systems in the best combination and sequence.

The structure of the plan will depend on the physiological demands of your particular event and the timing.

For example, the annual periodisation plan would differ greatly between a rider aiming for a January cyclocross championship, a time-triallist aiming for a June 10-mile TT championship, and a sportive rider working towards a top performance at the Etape du Tour in July.

However, the principles will be the same for each and planning should work backwards from your particular goals.

It is not possible for us to maintain optimum shape all year round, so we must aim to hit peak performance levels at pre-determined times.

If you are aiming for performance it is vital to understand that you can’t stay in top shape for very long periods – you have to ‘peak’ to reach your optimum fitness.

However, that peak can only be short lived, and you can only achieve it two or three times per year. The reason for this is that your body just wouldn’t stand up to the training stress which the peaking involves.

It is not an accident that Chris Froome arrives at the Tour de France in the very best shape.

With this in mind you should ideally target two or three ‘A-priority’ goals during the course of the competitive season, separated perhaps by four to six weeks. You can also include ‘B-priority’ events which are important for the athlete but which can serve as strategic importance in your build-up to key events.

Anyway I hope this has put a light under your arse in reference to planning your winter.

It should be the first step in anything you are willing to give so much of your time to!

Otherwise it’s like an archer with no target… you need to put the right plan and target in place if he’s going to hit the bull’s-eye!

That’s a good thing! I often get scared when I see people send in an ask SO QUICKLY after I post the chapter cos i’m like “there’s no way in HELL you read ALL of that and took in ALL the information in 5 minutes...” lol because I do put in a lot of detail and information and for someone who was to speed read it...I think it would be less enjoyable for them that way :(

Anonymous said: Even though she was being careless in the last chapter, i really love the character Y/N. I love how inteligent you made her, but also shy yet feisty. She's not an annoying and whiny character, not Too Bold not Too Shy. I really love it! I love how both she and JK can have mature conversations about everything. I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH AHH i just. wow. I've been reading it since part 1 and i cant believe its been so long already!

Thank you so much, you’ve no idea how much that means to me! I wanted to try and make Y/N with as much transparency as possible - but with enough character to build upon so that it sets her as ‘part of the cast’ you know? Thank you so much for reading it and staying with it since part one, that means the world to me! And IKR! 24 weeks...damn. I knew that this series was going to be longer than expected after the 4th chapter, but I wasn’t expecting to get so carried away like this xD hehe THANKYOU once again my love ^^

NO DON’T CRY DON’T SOB IT’S OKAY TT I wish I could tell you how it ends but I don’t want to spoil it for you :( AHHH thank you so much once again for reading the new chapter and I’m really happy you thought it was awesome!! ^^

Anonymous said: So uhm.. this may sound weird and dirty? and maybe not fitting? but UHM... I loved it when jungkook came inside Y/N. Filling her up with /his/ seeds. And then the talk about children.. when his heart became so warm to even think about the woman he loves carrying his little goofballs. I just get so giggly and excited to know Y/N is now carrying his seeds and the possibility of them going at it again without a condom.. and her really getting pregnant. They'd be such great parents T_T

NO OMG IT’S NOT WEIRD AND DIRTY lol you’re fine! Actually - this is probably tmi and probably no one knows this about me. But...it’s kind of a huuuuuge kink of mine? Like - of course I am on the contraceptive pill bc I am not at a stage to support myself and a possible baby having complete unprotected sex lol but a kink of mine is exactly that ^^ So don’t worry! It’s a completely normal thing to love :D And yes they would be such great parents I think :3 hehe

Anonymous said: You mentioned beauty and the beast and I was wondering if you had seen the movie, or if you included as more of a coincidence?

I did mention it! But actually, I haven’t seen the new live action movie yet - although I really want to! I’ll forever be a fan of the original Disney animation though, I don’t think even Emma Watson could win me over it hehe~ But I’ve used the beauty and the beast analogy for the IWSY series before~ so it is just purely a coincidence that the movie was released at the same time!

Anonymous said: Y'know, I should've known that something was gonna go wrong in this chapter, but I was like 'Nah, my good author friend would NEVER do that. Especially when I'm emotionally distraught.' and you gave me fluff. And I was happy. AND THEN THIS BANANA SPLIT HAPPENS. UNBELIEVABLE. I TAKE IT BACK. I'M STILL MAD AT YOU >:( - love Vampnip anon

I’m not sure but I’m assuming that it would be hard to pull one’s phone out and dial for help when one has just been chloroformed :P BUT YES she should have called Kookie in the beginning when Tae asked her to come outside to confirm with him~ But she was too headstrong for her own goo! Thank you so much anon who pulled her friend into kpop! I hope you’re both enjoying the series ^^

Fucking Min Yoongi you sexy little devil you. But it's all good cuz bae gonna swoop in and snatch y/n up and take her home where she belongs. Poor Jimin and Tae. Like they deserve so much happiness and the keep getting in shitty situations. But even though I feel betrayed THIS WAS A NICE ASS CHAPTER. I Love you 💜 ~LilKookieAnoN

Ohmaigawd the whole freaking time it was like a horror movie; I could feel the suspense building and I knew something bad was going to happen, plus the added factor you ALWAYS end on a cliff hanger... CAN YOU FEEL HOW ANXIOUS YOU MADE ME FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER?! anyways, I love you soooo much!!! Please take care of yourself and stay healthy! <3 - army anon

Anonymous said: I almost cried while reading chapter 24 of "I won't Stop You", I can almost feel the regret, sorrow and pain in Taehyung eyes, he still love his brother regardless of what, and little did he expect that his brother took him for granted, and that's the most painful thing one can experience, especially when the one is your brother, and I dread seeing how will Jungkook react when he found out omg I CANNOT!!

Yes - it’s hard when your family does shitty things because on one hand you love them, but on the other they are possibly bad people (in this case, definitely) lol ^^ Thank you so much for reading it love!

Anonymous said: S A R A WHY WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT SARA WHY 😭😭😭😭😭 as soon as Tae said come outside I knew something was wrong I KNEW IT god I'm gonna cry poor bby Jimin poor everyone POOR ME I can't!!!!!! Why do you do this to my heart

@wanda-rog said: You can't end a chapter like that and then make us wait a whole week to see what happens! You're so evil T-T I want to see Jungkook raise hell now! It's going to be the longest week in history

@mysr3 said: Sara I have funny thing to tell u! How coincidence that u wrote about Forbidden West Wing and the impressive Library of Beauty and the Beast in IWSY today and I happened to see the movie today! When the west wing was mentioned I was thinking about Y/N and her JoKe lol Then the Library scene I was like huh Y/N enjoyed Jungkook 's just like Belle does in hErE! it's such funny coincidence! 😝The movie was ready GooD! If u have not watched I recommend it! 👏

Yes, I haven’t seen the live-action movie of Beauty and the beast yet but I hope to because I love Emma Watson a lot! Thank you for thinking of me when you saw it my darling :3

@min-ty said: IM SO SHOOK ON CHAPTER 24 OF IWSY IM JUSY ALSJDJSISJDMDJLXKSNS I CAN'T. Your writing was so good in this chapter. Not that your writing isn't always amazing (it is) but I really took notice on it! I know writing fanfiction isn't easy, so to write a chapter of something every week and have nothing be filler or bad quality is so amazing! Have a good day/night!

I’m always trying not to make episodes feel filler-y! I thought that perhaps at the start of this chapter, it felt that way. But it slowly built up to the ending which turned it into a normal storyline! Trust me - many years of watching Naruto + Naruto Shippuuden made me HATE fillers with a passion lolol but they can of course be needed for a storyline to be complete! Thank you so much for reading the chapter love and I hpe you also have a wonderful day ^^

Anonymous said: Oh my god!!!
