Tumblr media
Jungkook walked in on you using your vibrator as a microphone when you were nineteen, lipsynching as if your life depended on it. He had laughed so fucking loud that time that you still feel your ears grow red when you think about it. He has teased you for it from the moment it happened, still does it now.
Back then, it was so freaking hilarious he would bring it up every time you were too mad at him, to make you laugh it off and let go of the heavy atmosphere creating between you every time you used to fight as teenagers.
Five years afterwards, as of now, he still thinks about it from time to time. It makes him giggle when he’s in the middle of a meeting at work, when he has a stressful day, when he’s just laying in bed with his head empty. Usually, that would be the case. Now that you’re sitting on his couch with a bag of pop corns squished in your hands while the tv is playing though, is a new circumstance.
«What are you laughing at? You’re so loud» you wince at him, monotone and annoyed.
He licks his lips, shaking his head.
«Your vibrator still haunts me»
It takes you less than two seconds to realise what he’s talking about.
«You’re so annoying. Should I bring up the time you farted out loud in class too?»
«That’s not the same,» he laughs «I told you that I wasn’t feeling good but you insisted on going to class anyway»
«You didn’t go for three days straight-» you fight back, stopping yourself when the camera points on Park Seojun.
«Gosh, this man. I’m gonna marry him someday» you sigh dreamily. Jungkook snorts.
«Cause I was sick?» he opens the fridge.
«You drank with Jin the night before. You shouldn’t drink if you’re sick. Maybe that’s why you couldn’t hold it until class was over»
«You’re so noisy» he rummages through the shelves, finally finding the bowl of strawberries he was looking for.
«Want some?»
You quickly glance at him over the counter, pop corns stuffing your mouth full.
«No, thanks. I’m full with these»
He gets a spoon from the drawer, walking back to the sofa.
«The face you made when I walked in is still funnier than-»
«When you farted in front of the class?» you cut him off, trying to get some sense in his head.
«Hell, yeah» he laughs.
«You literally-»
«Okay, now stop!» you slap his ass before he gets a chance to sit down.
«Oh, yes keep going» he fakes a moan. You literally want to slap him hard enough to make him stop being an idiot, but you have to hold yourself back.
«Just shut up and let me see Park Seojun» you shake your head. Jungkook gets a spoonful of strawberries into his mouth, eyes falling on the screen and eyebrows pinched together.
It’s a Saturday, thanks God the both of you don’t work on weekends, so usually you both find yourself on the sofa, watching a movie or just messing around. You’ve known each other since you were sixteen, so to say that you’re pretty comfortable with each other is an understatement. Even when you first met him, the nineteen years old Jungkook never made you feel uneasy. You were inseparable. Best friends that used to sleep at each other’s place every three to four days because you were just used to it. It was natural, so natural that a lot of the people around you thought you were a couple. Back then, you would grimace and shake your head vividly, not even giving it a thought. Jungkook would laugh it off, heart beating loudly in his chest every time anyone made him imagine how it would’ve been.
«Do you still have it?» he asks, voice low as he stares at the screen.
«What?» you murmur. He doesn’t answer, his spoon scraping against the plastic of the bowl to get as much strawberries as he can into his mouth. He munches on them, gulping down and enjoying the sweet taste.
«That vibrator»
«Jungkook! What kind of question is that?» you stop the drama, his thigh getting hit by the remote.
«I was just asking!» he raises his hands as to make sure you understand he meant no harm, the bowl now sitting on his lap.
«Why would you ask that?» your tone makes his eyes smile first, as he always does. His eyes smile first, then his lips just follow.
«Why are you so sensitive about it? I won’t ask, but we both know you still use it» he gets up from the couch, getting to the sink to put the empty bawl inside.
«We say filthier things when we’re in bed!» he goes on from where he’s standing at. Your head is going to explode. It’s at times like this that you rethink about your life choices. From being sixteen and dumb, until you’re twenty four and ending up with sleeping with your best friend.
«In bed! Leave those for when we’re in bed!» you fight back, another pop corn getting shoved into your mouth.
«Okay,» he appears by your side «wanna go to bed so I can ask you?»

Some love for the YR writers, and their OCs
As a small gesture of thanks to the incredible creativity and generosity of fanfic writers, during this time of holiday excess and the AO3 YR tag being just lit!, I thought i’d pull together some favorites to share. Hopefully if you’ve haven’t read these fics yet, they might entice you. I know we all know and love the endless iterations of Wille and Simon, and Sara, August, and Felice, but did you know there are some truly incredible original characters in the YR fanfic library? Here are just a few of the characters that have stayed with me. Made an effort not to spoil in the descriptions! I’ve tried to spread the love across lots of writers and have tagged you if i know you're on Tumblr. And i mostly read AUs. If you’ve got other OCs you just love, please add to this!
So, in no particular order … Part 1 of ?.
Chetna from Tis the Damn Season by littelbluefish, (M, 15/15) - “in a near-constant state of dancing readiness” (i love her for that alone), also witty meddler, dispatches unwanted men with savage accuracy, pitch perfect level of snark, loves Simon to pieces.
MJ and Mario from And that’s how you make history baby by waybeforeyourtime (T, 16/?) - it’s difficult for me to choose between the two, but i think maybe the author would agree they are inseparable. MJ and Mario run Benders, a bar where Simon ends up performing. They literally jump off at the page at you. MJ, appearing as Mary Jane, gets one of the best entrances i’ve seen in a while. (“Mary Jane sat in front of the door of Benders in a crudely made replica of the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones, except it was dildos that adorned it, not swords. She wore a pale pink strapless dress, white fishnet stockings, and black patent-leather Mary Jane platforms.”) His partner, Mario’s, first words to Simon: “"I don't have time for games. Violet, kill the light.”, but it was a match made in heaven. The dialogue between these two!!! Read this fic! Run! Don’t walk!
Melvin from Simon Eriksson: Just some guy from biology (G, 1/1) by fandom_commitment_Issues (@zee-has-commitment-issues) - good student, considerate partner and father. On this list because he does deadpan so well. He kept a straight face when W huffed “I’m getting married to an idiot”.
Alba from Taking me Back (M, 6/?) by wilmonlibrarian - for being one of those too smart for your own damn good teenagers who sees straight through her own father, Simon. (Alba isn’t buying it. “So, you’re saying nothing I experience in the next few years will matter to me in the future?”) and yeah karma really is playing a terrible joke on poor W & S in this.
Luis from All the Places we’ve been (M, 10/10) by This_time_its_just_me (@in-amor-veritas) - Simon’s roommate in New York, Simon who has his own life and successful career as a singer. Gives Simon essential advice on what to wear to meet his ex (yes, you know the ex). (“Oh please, none of your clothes fit you correctly, Simón”) He works at one of NYC’s biggest fashion magazines. Think Devil Wears Prada, friends. Just the absolute funniest and most loving wingman, takes absolutely none of Simon’s bullshit or his polyester. Has entirely the correct reaction when he finds W in his bathroom.
Lotta from Heart and Homeland (M, 33/ ) by @bluedalahorse and @heliza24 - An intrepid, loyal, and revolutionary woman with a heart of gold, who holds the key to a major plot twist in this masterful AU set in the early 1800s, where Wilhelm is at the center of a fight for Sweden’s future, and everyone writes each other a lot of beautiful letters. (“Lotta sighs and giggles like we are best friends and says we should tell one another romances or fairy tales and I want to tell her that princes are not the same in real life as they are in stories.”) Don't miss this fic!

ROTTMNT Fic Recs part 2
Here is the follow up I promised to my first ROTTMNT fic recs post which you can find here where I list my recommended works with a completed status.
These are some of my recommendations for ongoing fics. Just another reminder that Leo and Donnie are my favs so I gravitate towards fics focusing on them more than the others.
Like Father Like Son by eternalglitch
I feel like this fic doesn’t even need an introduction. It’s the most popular ROTTMNT fic on AO3 right now with a ton of fan art and videos dedicated to it. But in case you haven’t heard of it basically Leo gets kidnapped by Draxum and forced to do his bidding and a lot of physical/ psychological abuse ensues while his brothers desperately try to find and save him.
A Twin Thing by minumi 
This fic centers around the disaster twins and the special bond they have even though Donnie will say it’s impossible for them to have such a bond since they aren’t actually twins. Each chapter takes place in a different time in the boys’ lives so we get some turtle tot content. Has some lovely autistic Donnie moments though the author is clear they are drawing from their own experiences so it may not speak to everyone.
 Separate Times by QueerBadBitch
When future Mikey opens a portal to the past, future Leo accidentally gets flung through it by an explosion while the 16 year old him ends up in the future. There is a lot of great angst, wonderful moments between the displaced Leos and their family from the past/ future plus some really heart wrenching disaster twin content. The author takes some liberties so it’s not 100% canon compliant. This is also the first fic to have gotten me curious about Leosagi as Usagi is future Leo’s husband, though he isn’t in the story too much. The author has some great side stories for the fic including how Leo and Usagi met.
A World of Samurais and Ninjas by Annonnie 
This was the fic that made me get on board the Leosagi train. It’s an AU where Mikey accidentally transports Leo from the prison dimension to another universe occupied by a young Usagi (Miyamoto Usagi, not Yuichi). The interactions between Leo and Usagi are unbelievably cute, I love Usagi’s characterization as he is quite mature but also acts like a bit of an idiot when he’s in love. It also has some chapters focusing on the family grieving their loss and it’s very well done, especially Donnie who is going mildly crazy 😏
 51st Day by frudence_the_loredaughter 
Okay here is a Leosagi fic for my Yuichi Usagi lovers. This fic takes place after the second Season of Samurai Rabbit and after the events of the ROTTMNT movie. Usagi accidentally ends up in Leo’s world and they have to figure out a way to send him back home, though it’s also hinted that he may have been sent there for a reason. Has one of the cutest/ funniest meet cutes between our two idiots plus some very fun language barrier content as Yuichi speaks only Japanese while everyone in Leo’s family other than Splinter only speak English or ASL.
 call me here (i will appear) by gayneku 
An AU where Leo dies in the prison dimension and comes back as a ghost. Honestly I can’t say much else without spoiling it but it’s got some really wonderful angst and I especially like the characterization of Donnie grieving the loss of Leo. The author also has some wonderful additional content for the fic here 
 Fallout by GauntletKnight 
SO MUCH ANGST! ALL OF THE ANGST! This is one of two post movie recovery fics I’m gonna recommend. It takes place during and directly after Leo gets pulled from the prison dimension. Each chapter is from the pov of a different brother. Draxum is in this one and he’s trying to be a good dad and has some nice scenes. Very little comfort in this fic, honestly it just keeps getting worse and I LOVE IT 😈
The Aftermath by Starrcrossrose
Another fic dealing with the aftermath of the movie. This one takes place about 2 months after the invasion and it’s just angst angst angst, horrible coping mechanisms, angst angst, Donnie being absolutely done with Leo’s bullshit, more angst AND OH GOD WHERE’S THE CONFORT IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE and I love it! Make my boys suffer suffer suffer
Tumblr media
Like take a look at the masterful disaster twin content this fic provides:
“He felt like his heart was tearing, and even deeper, he felt something else breaking apart. Like someone had gripped the very essence of his being and was determined to destroy it. He’d felt his brother - his twin - leave the earth, and knew without a doubt that when and if he died, he’d feel that too.”
Never Do That Again by DiscowingSuit
This one has Leo stuck in a time loop for the events of the movie where he has the  pleasure of getting killed over and over and over again! Very little comfort in this fic so far, mostly just hurt and angst. Trigger warnings for somewhat graphic depictions of violence and dead bodies.
I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good by Dandy 
This fic has just started but the premise has me hooked. A yokai rips Leo’s soul from his body and he has to find a way to undo it. His brothers don’t know magic is at play so he’s desperately trying to communicate with them in ghostly form while they grieve over his unresponsive body. Has some great Donnie vs Raph content I haven’t seen much of in the fandom.
 I’m very angry, actually by Cowboy0505 
I’m recommending this fic because I love the concept and really want to see more like it. In this fic the purple dragon kidnap Donnie’s brothers in hopes of using them in exchange for his tech. It’s in it’s early stages as the chapters are quite short but so far I’m enjoying it.
Fair warning that this fic only updates every 2-3 months but omg is it good. Leo’s sword gets shattered while he is in the process of teleporting which results in him being unable to reform. I don’t want to say much else cause I don’t want to spoil it but it has some fantastic angst and plays out like an adventure story once it really gets going. You’ll also notice that ParvumAutomaton is one of the writers and if you liked either of the fics by them that I recommended in my original post then I guarantee this one won’t disappoint.
 Picking up the Pieces by Andromedabrown, GalacticDreamer, ParvumAutomaton
 Very Thoughtful by theashemarie 
This is a wonderful fic that explores Donnie’s low-empathy written by an author who is autistic and has low empathy. It’s a beautiful character study and I love it so much. So far all the chapters take place when the boys are young so it has some super cute turtle tot content and the most recent chapter has Donnie meeting April for the first time.
 warmly in the dark by bobtheacorn 
A disaster twins centric fic that just makes me go
Tumblr media
Just some unbelievably heart-warming content. Donnie’s autistic characteristics are heavily featured and chapter 3 is especially hilarious, feeling very much like it could be an actual episode of the series.
  One Two Three (Four) by CringePhase 
Okay, fair warning that this fic hasn’t updated since September and prior to that it hadn’t updated since 2020 so I’m not certain if it’s abandoned or if the author is just slower to update. This fic features Donnie being kidnapped and brainwashed by Draxum to believe Draxum is his dad and he cannot remember his brothers. Despite the gloomy premise it has some really hilarious great dialogue that feels very in character, some wonderful moments between Donnie and his other 3 brothers including a whole chapter dedicated to Mikey and Donnie as well as the disaster twins going head to head in a fight (Leo’s fucking pissed y’all). It also features Huginn and Muninn quite heavily and OMG WHY DO AUTHORS NOT INCLUDE THESE TWO IN MORE FICS THEY ARE JUST THE BEST!
Anyway that’s all for now. I’ll edit this post to @ all the fanfic authors I mentioned who have tumblr accounts later.

HP Rec Fest, Day 16
Full disclosure: I don’t really read crack fic very often but the ones I’ve loved left a big, lasting impression on me so choosing recs for today’s @hprecfest was the easiest thing ever! I’ve def mentioned both fics before but I still consider them lowkey hidden gems so I’m taking every opportunity to give them a shoutout again. If you haven’t come across these before run don’t walk! I guarantee they will make you feel light and cheerful after a rough day. I love finding joy and comfort in fics that make me laugh, they make me remember why I love these two sassy idiots so much. A massive thank you to both authors who I admire so much especially when it comes to their brand of humour - it’s right up my alley and never fails to make my day better. I’m so pleased to be reccing them today!
Day 16) a fic that made me laugh:
Drarry
Per my last letter (I hope you choke on it) by @fluxweeed and @lastontheboat (T, 10k)
Or: the one where Harry has writer’s block and Malfoy isn’t helping.
one of my top favourite feel-good fics, this is absolutely hilarious and so very charming! flux is the epistolary queen and I’ve had sooo much fun with the porn identity element here. their voices are spot on, the relentless banter is just hysterical and the slow burn is so surprisingly sweet I had a huge smile on my face the entire time. this story leaves you giddy and full of joy, the jokes and mutual pining and the whole crew coming together as chaotic Drarry supporters is 👨‍🍳💋 epistolary can be tricky but flux nailed it in an effortlessly light and organic way.
Rare pair
Sardines by @shiftylinguini (Jeddy + Scorbus, E, 4k)
It’s bad enough his cock is hard from listening to the impromptu midnight pornography of his brother getting off; Albus is not going to add seeing it to the list of reasons why he lost his mind, and presumably his eyesight, on the eve of his grandmother's seventieth. Scorpius, though, doesn’t appear to have any such qualms.
sardines will always be an iconic fic for me, it’s a shame it’s still underrated because it’s not only hilarious - it’s also hot af and a brilliant piece of writing overall, clever and genuinely endearing. idk how shifty was able to create this unique atmosphere, light and playful, carefully toeing the line between what’s appropriate and inappropriate brotherly teasing between four walls 🌝 the dialogue and characterization are top notch as always: James being a little shit, Albus pure confusion and horny exasperation, while Teddy and Scorp are simply indulging their better half and going for the ride as the disasters they are 🤣 truly impressive work with sexy, fun and sweet dynamics all around!

Y/n laid across Douxie’s couch, her naked feet dangling over the back. She quickly switched the page of her book, her eyes swiftly moving over the words. She had gone to Douxie’s apartment for their lunch date but he wasn’t there, neither was Archie. She had sat at the couch with her book to pass the time almost eight hours ago and there was still no signs of her boyfriend.
For some reason, the quietness of Douxie's apartment had created the perfect atmosphere to concentrate and read the book Douxie had borrowed her. The book was perfect. All the different tales, the characters, the way the author had written the story, all of it spoke to her in a way she thought was impossible. Every single word would bring a comfort to her soul she hadn’t felt in a lifetime.
“I told you: you should never turn your back to a shadow mephit” a man said behind the front door.
Y/n sat down, closing her book and turned towards the door. Was it Douxie? Was he bringing a friend?
“I’m sorry? You wanted the blood goblins to eat you?” Douxie asked. He was out of air, he didn’t sound good.
‘Blood goblins?’ Y/n squeezed the book ‘It can’t be’
The door opened revealing a Douxie covered in blood holding his left side alongside an unharmed Archie.
“Douxie? What…What happened?” Y/n tossed the book to the side and ran to Douxie’s side.
“Y/n?! What are…” he hissed when Y/n tried to see the wound on his side.
“I’m sorry” she pulled her hands back.
“What are you doing here?!” His right eye opened in surprise, his left eye was so swollen he couldn’t see from it.
“We were supposed to have lunch” She answered, more focused on trying to get him to the couch.
“Oh. Oh” he sat down “I totally forgot. I’m sorry. I…”
“Douxie” Y/n crouched down in front of him, her brows furrowed with worry “I need to know what happened”
‘I need to know what you know. If you know’ she thought.
“Ehm…” He looked to the side, to Archie who sat on the other side of the couch and back to her “Y/n…I was…”
“Don’t…Don’t lie to me. Please” she gently squeezed his knee.
The silence was deafening. The two of them were looking at each other, scared of breaking the silence, of being the one saying the words that may change everything.
“Archie! Are you here?” Al voice sounded out of Douxie’s room.
Y/n turned to the room’s door. She felt her heart falling to her stomach.
“Arch! Do you know why there are blood goblins running around Arcadia?” Al emerged from the room “Ugh! Douxie, you look bad. Oh! Hello Y/n” he scratched his ear.
“Alfred” Y/n whispered.
“What?” He whispered back “Oh! Everything is finally back to normal? Great!” He ran to Archie and sat next to him “I’m glad you could remember, Y/n. Good for you, Doux. If I had to keep hearing you crying because you miss her I would” he stopped laughing “Why is no…”
“She didn’t remember, idiot” Archie hit the brown cat with his paw.
“Hey! that was claws out” Al cried.
Y/n felt the water raising. She looked back to Douxie, to his eyes. Suddenly everything made sense. The blue light, the boy, the warmth in her chest, how she always ended up coming back to him. She closed her eyes and she saw him across time, across the years, it was always him. Back as children when she twisted her ankle, he carried her home; back as teens when some absences were heavier than before, he was always there; when the war took everything from her, he was there, holding her hand. She opened her eyes again and saw him, his beaten up face full of worry.
She stretched her hand out and caressed his cheek. He gave into the touch. A soft red glow healed his wounds.
“Douxie” she whispered, tears falling down her face “My Douxie, how could I forget you?”
A sob escaped Douxie’s lips, making him fall from the couch to the floor in front of her.
“I’m sorry, Doux. I’m so sorry” She grabbed his cheeks and her thumbs cleaned the tears that fell unapologetically.
Douxie shook his head “You’re here now”
They smiled.
“And I’m not leaving again” she kissed his nose.
“Please” he plead and kissed her, full force. His hands pushing her waist against his, trying to get her as close to him as he could.
Y/n’s hands went to play his hair, innocently tugging:
“In moments like this I don’t miss the man bun at all” She joked between short kisses.
“Don’t remind me” Douxie groaned in a mixture of pleasure and embarrassment.
“I’m really sorry” she apologized again as Douxie kissed down her jaw to her neck “You've been alone all these years…”
“Don’t” He pressed their forehead together “We can talk later” he kissed her cheek “But, right now, let me hold you, please” he kissed her other cheek.
Y/n nodded with a smile on her face.
Douxie lifted her from the floor and took her to his room. Both of them lay there, only illuminated by Arcadia’s night lights, holding each other tight, making sure that this time, nothing would separate them.
Y/n opened her eyes. The soft morning light illuminated Douxie’s face staring back at her.
“Morning, darling” he smiled.
“Good morning, Doux” she smiled back.
His face in this light reminded her of her teenage years. The two of them hiding away in a room built of stones when the world was harsher and they were much softer.
“What are you thinking about?” He stroked her eyebrow.
“About how handsome you are” she kissed his nose.
He chuckled, trying to ignore the blood rushing to his cheeks.
“I was thinking about us back home, about…Camelot” she said.
‘Camelot’ the name felt so strange in her lips but it didn’t make it any less true. She was born on Camelot, she fell in love with Hisirdoux Casperan the XIV on Camelot, that she remembered but not much more.
“Camelot?” Douxie raised his brows “How much do you remember?” He lifted himself up.
“Not much” Y/n chuckled and sat up “It’s all so blurry still”
“How about…about that night?” He looked down.
Y/n sighed and gave him a half smile. Of course she remembers that night, the night she lost him. She remembered the slam door, the rain, the pain.
“I…I remember leaving. Slamming the door and running into the rain” she chuckled and turned to him, Douxie’s eyes were full of worry, focused on her story “then I don’t know what happened…It’s all bright and then…dark and then, I’m in Jim’s father’s car and I’m a child again”
Douxie got closer, if that was possible, and put his arm around her.
“I swear, I didn’t leave you” Y/n put her hand on his cheekbone, her eyes full of tears “I love you too much to lea…”
“I know. I know. I love you too” Douxie grabbed her hand from his cheek and kissed it “At first, I was scared you did leave me…and, then” he smiled “ Al, who never stopped looking for you, came back saying you were cursed and I’m still not a master wizard…” he looked down to his hands.
Y/n chuckled. He turned to her hands.
“What good is being a master wizard” she lifted her right wrist where her staff rested “if I couldn’t break the spell all those years ago?”
Douxie sighed and rested his head on top of Y/n’s.
“I’ll fix this, Doux” she played with her bracelet.
“We’ll fix this” Douxie put his hand on to of her’s.

Fragments - episodes 12-14 author notes
Hi hello and welcome to yet another ramble about Fragments C: I’m doing these regularly because there’s so much I wanna say about my idiots, and I like looking back and appreciating the work I’ve done.
You can find similar breakdown posts on older episodes in my pinned!
I haven’t commented on any of the ShB episodes yet, so here we go. Chapter 2 is estimated to last for over a year real-time, it correlates to the msq events up to Amity. The name honestly I’m not too proud of, I didn’t wanna spend too much brain juice on it :’> But the cover.....
Tumblr media
Obligatory ShB spoiler warning!
- Investigating each other. They’ve become completely new people since ARR.
- Despite what he thinks of himself, our lord and savior Crystal Exarch has the ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ grandeur ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆.
- Vivi’s self-image is similar, he doesn’t see himself as anything grand no it’s not a height joke but Exarch rapidly grows in his eyes as he learns about him.
- He sports an outfit I once doodled and found cute, I’m just being cheeky about his newfound obsession.
- He also appears fragile to Exarch, who’s literally seen a world where he died being this young. Exarch wants to protect him, to say the least.
- Vivi’s perceived helplessness and lack of agency in ShB, although it’s nothing he hasn’t already been through in his other WoL misadventures.
- The Light, of course the wicked white surrounding them.
Tumblr media
Episode 12 I’m proud of writing-wise, but not art-wise. Turns out the Ocular is a bigger bitch to draw/paint than I’d anticipated, and, although I’ve mostly figured it out by now (having just released episode 16 for patrons), the colors and light in the episode 12 will forever stick out like a sore thumb to me, probably until I find the time to redraw it. Same goes for the Scions, learning to draw a whole bunch of new characters over a week (roughly, an episode takes 7~14 days to complete), well, I should’ve taken a bigger break and practiced some more.
I’d even apply the ugly word “crunch” to this episode. But ah, the best page wasn’t crunched, hell started breaking loose a bit later. Yeah I don’t work in order, usually I do the most important frames first.
Tumblr media
A bit of a sidetrack: even though I sometimes find myself wanting for more time between episodes, I don’t think I can afford making the releases even more sparse, current 2-week cycle ensures that this story WILL reach its finale in some distant 2028 if not later, I’m not kidding, it might take even longer and I’ve only been working on the script for a year. The broad strokes are complete, but I indulge in adding more sweet nonsense here and there. Or sometimes a raw af dialogue pops up in my head and MUST be included in some chapter. In other words, help, this behemoth keeps growing.
Personally I’m loyal to my fandoms, and not in a rush to finish the comic, but my mmo experience bangs on that nothing lasts forever: I don’t know where the xiv community would be in 5+ years from now, and I need A LOT of people supporting me, allowing me to work on this full time. So I’d rather keep a steady pace while it’s still possible.
As I get more xp in painting backgrounds and learn all the ShB character designs, it should become easier for me. Currently I’m fumbling through a new field, so please bear with me :’D
Back to the main topic: I came up with and scrapped at least 2 ideas of the transition between ARR and ShB, the timeskip was always planned, but Vivi needed some more introduction still. Current iteration of Exarch “interviewing” the Scions seems the most fun and creative to me.
Also, tea parties with Urianger and Feo Ul :> They’re his only two friends in my hc, Urianger he purposely revealed himself to, and Feo Ul, merely being a soul in a sparkly shell, can see Exarch’s soul as well, hoods are useless. All while they’re somewhat reliable, truly the paragon of pixies who wouldn’t randomly spill his secrets (probably).
Tumblr media
Vivi’s a mirror. Every single one of us is, to some degree. We react and adapt to the way the others treat us, and so does Vivi. Unintentionally, of course. It’s a natural “passive trait”. All the Scions except Urianger (for the same reason he managed to trick the pixies, he’s just a special smartass) see their reflections in Vivi, direct or warped.
Y’shtola is basically this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Can’t promise equal amounts of screentime for all the Scions, but the twins and Thancred are the closest to Vivi, you’ll definitely see more of them.
Tumblr media
He’s 26 now, which is still rather young by the elezen standards, and he’s way too tired (tm) probably like most WoLs at this point in time.
Tumblr media
Maybe not of life itself, but he’s definitely sick of the Source and all its inhabitants. For all he cares, this place can go to hells.
His state just so happens to be perfect for the isekai love story that awaits him. How did he get there? I know, you’ll have to stick around until I deem it appropriate to drop some flashback episodes. I’m leery of loredumping too early on: firstly, you current readers will get more invested over time, therefore have more fun learning about him at a later point; secondly, I’m personally not a fan of tragic backstories right in yo face, before the main story gets a chance to breathe. And, mind you, Vivi’s past isn’t even THAT tragic, just, well.. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes \o/
Tumblr media
In this episode I wanted to show his practical approach to things. He may possess an Echo, Blessing, soul stone and whatnot else, but gotta stick a good ol’ dagger in a boot just in case. He’s a doubter, just a tiny bit paranoid.
Tumblr media
Also he has The Chair (tm) where he dumps clothes on. His room in the Rising Stones looks vague for now because we indeed don’t return there for years in real time, I don’t need to spend my energy on designing this room in detail just yet.
Tumblr media
Most items don’t hold any special meaning, he simply prepares for a journey into the unknown. Well, there’s the journal he dumps his cringy thoughts in, and doodles sometimes. The trinket he holds here is a Princess Ai easter egg:
Tumblr media
I talked about Vivi’s character influences and inspirations here if you haven’t seen yet C:
Tumblr media
Exarch’s glorious meltdown does a good job averting eyes from Feo Ul being right there in the beginning of the episode 14, but yeah they’re present not for no reason :>
Tumblr media
Mentally he’s still in the msq cutscene.
Gotta mention that there’s no amnesia, insanity, or other sad brain fuckery ever in this comic. Vivi’s head’s made of dense and sturdy stuff x’D
Tumblr media
Just a meme I made because I had to :>
There isn’t much Deep Meaning in this episode, the visuals speak for themselves, and I’m DAMN PROUD of them.
Tumblr media
We don’t see Exarch in this moment ingame, so I took my creative liberty to illustrate the range of emotions he goes through in like 5 minutes before finally rushing out to meet his hero in person, forgetting that he can teleport at will (yet another hc of mine) anywhere in the Tower’s vicinity, and doing so on foot.
That’s it for now, thank you for reading this and enjoying Fragments C:

Monday, Dec. 16, 1985 
“So run this by me again?” Mike asked, shutting his locker and beginning his way towards their shared class.
“We throw a Christmas party after Hellfire so we can hang mistletoe and get them to kiss, then they might finally realize how they feel about each other.” Dustin answered, gesturing with his hands.
“Why does it need to be a Christmas party? Why don’t we just hang the mistletoe? Do we need to make it a party?” Lucas questioned as he followed his friends.
“Why would there be a random piece of mistletoe hanging in the drama room? This is a school. This way we can say that it’s just tradition.” Dustin responded, stopping just before their classroom door.
“I don’t know, I feel a little weird about forcing them to kiss, you know?” Mike said, rubbing the back of his neck.
“They’re idiots Mike, they won’t ever tell each other. I just know if we can get Y/N and Eddie to just kiss for real, they won’t be able to hide their feelings anymore.” Dustin said, crossing his arms.
“But they kiss all the time, why would this be different?” Lucas asked, furrowing his brow in confusion.
“Yeah on the cheek-” Dustin started.
“Or hand-” Mike interrupted.
“Or forehead-” 
“Or-”
“Yeah, okay I get it!” Lucas exclaimed, stopping his friends from their back and forth.
“The point is, they’ve never really kissed so if we make them maybe they’ll get their heads out of their asses and get together. I can’t listen to Eddie anymore man.” Dustin finished in an almost pleading tone.
“Okay, but you’re the one asking Eddie.” Lucas stated before shaking his head and walking into their class. 
“Right. Shit.” Dustin sighed as Mike gave him a supportive pat on the shoulder before walking into class as well.
~
“You want to have a what now, Henderson?” Eddie asked, eyes scrutinizing and arms crossed, as you all sat at your lunch table. 
“I-uh- was thinking..that it would be nice for us to have a little party before the break.” Dustin explained wide eyed, “You know, to celebrate a semester of adventuring?” His voice rising in octaves near the end.
“A Christmas party?” Eddie clarified.
“Or Yule if you prefer.” Dustin suggested with a nervous smile.
“Absolutely not.” The metalhead declared. “We don’t have Christmas parties in Hellfire Club.”
You watched how Dustin seemed to deflate with disappointment, whatever reason he wanted to have the party seemed important to him. You knew Dustin was an only child like you but he only had his mother, maybe Christmas was lonely with just him and his mom and he just wanted to spend extra time with his friends before being alone for break. You had a large soft spot for the boy, kind of adopting him as a little brother. 
“Eddie, are you sure we can’t make this one exception?” You asked, turning your large eyes on the man. “It’ll be nice to have a little party and spend some non-D&D time together.” 
“Y/N-” Eddie started, about to shut this down, knowing he was weak to your pleading eyes. 
“Eds, it’s important to him.” You stated, adding a gentle hand to one of his crossed arms. 
Eddie sighed and you knew you won. “Fine you little jerk, you can have your ridiculous party.” 
Dustin beamed from his spot next to you. “So what do we need to do to make this little party happen, Dusty?” You asked, using the nickname you had adopted in your 3rd week in Hawkins after hearing his mom call him it one time when you dropped him off.
“We’ll get the decorations and set up before Hellfire, we just need food and drinks.” Now it was Dustin's turn to use his pleading eyes on you.  
“You want me to make you cupcakes again don’t you Henderson?” You asked with a sigh. 
“Please? They’re so good.” He asked quickly. 
‘Fine.” You said exaggeratedly, “You are a little jerk, you know that?”  
“So I’ve been told.” He said before taking a bite of his food. 
~Friday~
“Okay, so just don’t stand over by that corner of the table, that’s where we put it.” Dustin told the rest of Hellfire Club, minus you and Eddie, filling them in on the plan. You were to have your campaign and once it was over the party would start. Dustin would have you put your cupcakes in said corner of a table that was against a wall and near the end of the party he would have you and Eddie end up right under the mistletoe. He knew Eddie loved your cupcakes just as much as everyone else, maybe even more, so all he needed was to get you both over there at the same time. Easy. 
“I don’t know Dustin, this still seems weird to do.” Jeff said, shaking his head from where he sat at the D&D table.
“I know, you guys have been telling me.” Dustin sighed from his seat. 
“It’s not that we don’t want them to get together, I guess we just don’t see why we have to force them.” Mike stated as he got his dice out of his backpack. 
“Yeah, we get that it’s annoying to see them staring at each other all the time but it’s not that bad.” Gareth added. 
“You’re not the one that Eddie calls to talk about her.” Dustin shot back to the group with a shake of his head. 
“He calls you?” Jeff asked.
“Yeah like every couple days right?” Lucas added from his spot next to Mike. 
“Yes. And I need a break. I have my own girlfriend to talk to.” Dustin answered. Yes Eddie was annoying the boy to no end with his calls but he also cared a lot about you and his Dungeon Master. He could see how much you both wanted to be with each other but he knew you wouldn’t get there on your own. So he needed to help. 
Just as Gareth was about to say something else, they all heard the door start to open and shut their mouths. You and Eddie walked in arms full of food and drink. You were carrying your cupcakes and a few bags of chips while Eddie was carrying a case of Mountain Dew and his D&D supplies. Dustin watched your eyes widen and a smile grow on your face as you took in the sparse decorations the boys were able to get, while Eddie rolled his eyes. 
“It looks so cute in here, boys.” You said cheerfully, “Where do you want these Dusty?” 
“Right over there!” Dustin shouted, pointing to the end of the table they had left for the treats. “I’ll take one of those sodas, Eddie.” He quickly added when he saw the metalhead start to follow you to the table. It was too early for that. 
Eddie rolled his eyes again and made his way over to the D&D table, shoving the case of drinks into Dustin’s arms before starting to set up his DMing area. “As requested, Henderson.” He said. 
“Thank you.” The boy said, opening the case and passing the drinks around the table. 
You took your seat next to Eddie and pulled out your character sheet, notebook, and dice. Once all settled you set your attention on Eddie as he addressed the room. 
“Gentlemen. Lady Echo.” He sent you a smile and a wink causing you to beam up at him, both of you too interested in each other to notice the conspiratorial looks being passed around the table around you, “We left off in the tavern in Havenheim. What would you like to do first?” 
~
The party had been going on for a little while now, though it was nearing its end as you knew you had to get all the younger kids home soon. 
“We have to clean up and leave in like 5 minutes okay guys?” You informed Dustin, Lucas, and Mike. You and Eddie had taken the boys to school and would be taking them home before you and Eddie would be heading back to his trailer for the night. 
Dustin’s hands grew sweaty, he had to do this now or never. He noticed Eddie get up after finishing a conversation with Gareth and head over towards the food table. Perfect. 
“Hey Y/N? Could you please get me a cupcake?” He asked as sweetly as he possibly could. “My leg fell asleep!” He added when he saw you about to protest. 
You rolled your eyes and scoffed, “Sure it did Dusty.” You gave an affectionate little shove before heading over to the table. 
Dustin watched as you approached the table and stood next to Eddie, right under the mistletoe they hung earlier. 
“That little shit wanted a party and now he’s making me get him a cupcake.” You said with a laugh to the metalhead as he was swallowing the cupcake he just inhaled. “Maybe you’re right, I do need to learn to say no to him better.”
“What a little asshole.” He chuckled back, “I know you see him as a little brother, but you don’t need to actually act like it, doll.” 
As you were about to respond, you heard someone loudly clear their voice. Clearly trying to get your attention. You both looked over towards the noise and saw the boy in question, still in his chair where you left him. 
“What now Dustin? I’m about to grab it, calm down.” You said with a sigh. 
“It’s not that. It’s-uh-“ He gestured to a spot above yours and Eddie’s heads. You both looked up and saw the small branch hanging on a wire from one of the beans holding the lights.. 
“Is that-“ Eddie started.
“Mistletoe.” You finished, eyes wider than they were before. You and Eddie looked at each other, neither knowing what to do. 
“We don’t have to..” You said, suddenly feeling incredibly warm. 
“Right. We don’t have to, it’s just a stupid tradition.” Eddie agreed, shoving his hands in his pockets so you couldn’t see them shaking. 
“Yes you do!” Dustin yelled, you both glared at him, causing him to shrink in his seat. 
You fidgeted with your ring as you looked at Eddie, he looked back at you with a nervous expression. Were you about to kiss Eddie? You wanted to, you always did. Almost every moment of every day you wished you could be kissing your best friend. “Does he want to, too?” 
“I-I don’t think the brat is gonna let us leave if we don’t.” You stated with a breathy chuckle, it felt like your heart was going to hammer right out of your chest.
“I don’t think so either.” He said, he took one of his hands out of his pockets and held one of yours. “But only if you’re okay with it sweetheart.”
“Yeah, I’m okay with it, Eds.” You said with a sweet smile. Eddie nodded his head with an equally sweet smile of his own. You leaned into each other, meeting in the middle. The kiss started tentatively, you both testing the waters, before your lips were molding together. You sighed into the kiss dreamily, unable to help yourself. You felt him smile against your lips, his sweet from the cupcake he had just eaten. Neither of you noticed that this kiss was going on much longer than a kiss between 2 friends forced into a kiss should, too lost in each other.
You broke apart when you heard someone clear their throat again. Both looking over at Dustin who was sitting with his arms crossed and a smug grin on his face. “I-uhm- better get that cupcake.” You said, feeling the heat rise to your face. You grabbed a cupcake and went to move towards the boy, you paused. “I uh, need to go to the bathroom before we go, I’ll meet you outside okay?” You said with a nervous smile. 
Eddie nodded his head, returning your smile. You walked over to Dustin and gave him the treat, “Here you go, you jerk.” 
“Thank you!” He chirped back cheerfully. 
You grabbed your backpack and made your way out of the room and down the hall. Once you made it to the bathroom you splashed some water on your face. You and Eddie just kissed. Really kissed. And he seemed to enjoy it just as much as you did, unless you were imagining that. Oh, how you hoped that you were right. But it felt like the kiss gave you confidence, you were going to do it. Tonight, you were going to tell Eddie how you feel. 
~
Eddie sauntered up to his friends as they cleaned up the decorations, a large smile on his face. “Was that your reason for this stupid party, Henderson?” He asked the freshman. 
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Munson.” Dustin with faux innocence. 
“Right, well, whether it was or not. I think tonight might be my night, gentlemen.” He smirked. “After I drop you losers off, we’re going back to my place to watch movies. I’m going to tell her everything.” Ever since that Thanksgiving night Eddie had been looking for the perfect time to tell you. But whenever he got close something stopped him, whether it be his own insecurities or issues with your grandmas health. But tonight felt different.
Eddie grabbed his DMing supplies and the last of the cupcakes before walking out of the room with the group and out to the parking lot to wait for you. “I think you earned these.” He said slyly, handing Dustin the container of sweets. 
As they waited, Eddie noticed that the cheerleaders seemed to be getting out of practice now as well, having had a late session before the break. He saw Chrissy Cunningham, she seemed to be having a tense conversation with her mother by their car. He watched as the girl seemed to shrink under her mothers words as her mother walked around the other side of the car, leaving the girl alone. ‘Wonder what that was about?”
You happened to walk up right then, watching as your crush stared at the most popular girl in your school. You felt the balloon of happiness that had been growing in you since the kiss start to deflate as insecurities flooded your mind. You could almost hear Mike’s voice ringing in your ears, “Yeah, they say he’s had a crush on her since the 8th grade or something.” All the confidence from before seeped out of your body suddenly. You felt foolish, and for the first time since meeting him, you felt like you needed some space from Eddie, not knowing if you could handle being around him feeling like this. 
“Hey.” You said, catching the mans attention. He turned to you with a bright smile. 
“Hey sweetheart, ready to go?” He asked.
“Uh, yeah. I’m sorry Eddie, I just remembered that my mom needs me to stay home tonight. Can you actually drop me off first please?” You asked, trying to sound as casual as you could. 
“Oh, uh, yeah doll. Sure.” He said, trying not to sound as disappointed as he felt. 
“Thanks, Eds.” You responded, before making your way towards Eddie’s van.
Eddie and the freshmen boys shared a look between them as you walked away, this wasn’t normal. They followed you to the metalheads van, you were walking fast like you were trying to get away from them. 
You reached the vehicle first, waiting by the passenger door. Eddie walked up and unlocked the door, offering his hand to help you in as he held it open for you, soft smile on his face. “Your carriage, princess.” 
“Thank you.” You said quietly, getting into your seat and closing the door, barely looking at the man. You were trying not to cry due to the embarrassment you were feeling. 
Eddie turned back to the freshmen standing by the back door, Dustin sent him a confused look, “What happened?” He mouthed. 
The dungeon master shrugged his shoulders as he walked over to let them in the van, unable to keep the worry from his face. Had he read everything wrong? He was sure you had enjoyed that kiss just as much as he did. And he thought that the way you reacted to it meant that you might like him back. 
His mind was racing as he started driving towards your house, the van was silent except for the mixtape you had made Eddie playing through the speakers. Eddie looked over at you every so often; you were slightly turned from him, looking out the window. He couldn’t even try to hold your hand like he normally does as you had them shoved in the pockets of your jacket. 
He couldn’t help the thoughts that flooded his mind. Maybe everything had been ruined with that kiss? Maybe you didn’t like him like he did and you were now trying to distance yourself? 
He tried to push them down, hoping you did actually have to help your mom. He stopped outside your house, “Want me to stop by afterwards, dolly?” He asked, hopeful. 
“Sorry, Eddie, not tonight. I think it’s going to be a late night for me. I’ll call you soon.” You answered, you looked up at him and shot him a small smile, missing the hurt in Eddie’s eyes. “Good night guys.” You addressed the van as you opened the door and hopped out, you then walked into your house without a second glance. 
Eddie sat there almost shell shocked. Not only was this one of the first nights you and Eddie would not be spending the night together in a month and a half, you also didn’t give him his goodbye kiss. Whenever the two of you parted you would give Eddie a large kiss on his cheek with a loud “MUAH”. You never left without doing it. 
“Eddie, what happened?” Dustin asked from the back.
“I don’t know.” He responded, confused, as he started driving the rest of them home. 
~Monday~
You were laying on your bed, staring up at the ceiling, lost in thought as the sound of whatever your mom was listening to while cleaning played through the house. It had been a few days since the party and you had been avoiding pretty much everyone. Dustin and Eddie both tried to call you over the weekend, trying to get you to spend time with them, but you just said that you were busy with preparing for Christmas with your family. You felt embarrassed, you figured out pretty early that Dustin planned that whole thing out. You knew he knew you had a crush on Eddie, so you tried not to blame him for trying to help you out. It’s not his fault that Eddie didn’t seem to share your feelings, but you still felt like a fool for hoping. 
You knew that you couldn’t avoid Eddie forever, he was coming to your place for Christmas in 2 days, but you needed time to get your feelings under control and you didn’t know if you could if you were around him. It was unfair to him, you knew, he didn’t do anything wrong. But the idea that him kissing you meant nothing to him while it meant so much to you was eating you alive. 
You got up, needing to do anything to occupy yourself before you drove yourself crazy, you looked around the room. Your eyes flitted to your belongings before landing on your easel in the corner. You sighed, walking up to the painting sitting in it, not quite done yet. It was your Christmas gift to Eddie. You had taken a picture of him at a Corroded Coffin show a couple weeks ago and after showing it to him he said it was the coolest photo anyone had taken of him, you had decided to recreate the picture in large painting for him. It wasn’t quite the distraction you were looking for, as it would be hard not to think about him while painting his likeness, but you only had 2 days until you were going to give it to the man so you needed to finish it.
You began painting after changing into your painting shirt and getting your supplies. Your mothers music could be heard through your open door, a song you knew she loved was playing, This Must Be the Place by The Talking Heads, you let your thoughts wander as you listened to the lyrics. 
“Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me around
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun”
A memory of you and Eddie going to the arcade for the first time came into your mind, the two of you laughing as Eddie tried and failed dramatically to beat your high score in pinball. 
“The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing
Oh! I got plenty of time
Oh! You got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight”
You remembered that first time he spent the night, laughing during the movie, falling asleep holding hands. You had woken up the next morning in Eddies arms as he smiled down at you sleepily. “Morning dolly.” 
“Home, is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place”
You thought of every time you get to Eddie’s trailer after Corroded Coffin rehearsals, he would open the door almost as soon as you knocked, like he was waiting for you. “Welcome home sweetheart.” He would joke, pulling you into an embrace.
“I can't tell one from the other
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I'll be, where I'll be oh!”
Images of Eddie dancing in your passenger seat on your first day meeting him flashed in your mind. 
“We drift in and out
Oh! Sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home and
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up
Eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head I got ooh!”
The song faded out, leaving images of Eddie staying in your head. Somehow, you realized, during your time here, Hawkins hadn’t just become your home because it’s where you lived, it became your home because of Eddie. Eddie made this place feel like home, like you belonged here, with him. And you knew that hadn’t changed even after the kiss. You still belonged by Eddie’s side, even if it was not the way you wanted.
~
“Hi Robin. Steve.” You said as you walked into Family Video. It was hours later, you had finished your painting and now you were at the video store to find a distraction for the night. 
“Hey Y/N! No Eddie tonight?” Robin asked from the counter. 
“No, just me.” You said, trying to keep the conflicted emotions off of your face.
“Did something happen?” She asked, clearly sensing something was wrong, you saw her share a look with Steve who was stocking a shelf nearby.
You looked between the two of them, you hadn’t talked to anyone about what happened at the party and it was kind of eating at you. “Uhm, yeah actually.” Steve stopped his task and walked over to the two of you at the counter, ready to listen. 
You told them about the party, how Dustin got you both to kiss, how it seemed like Eddie enjoyed it as much as you, and how you were going to confess your feelings, but that you saw him staring at Chrissy right after, and how hurt you felt after. “I know it’s silly and I’m over-reacting. All he did was look at her. But stupid Mike Wheeler got in my head.” 
“You haven’t talked to Eddie since?” Steve asked, leaned on the counter next to you.
“No, he and Dustin both called but I said I was busy.” You responded with a sigh. 
“I think you and Eddie need to talk about this.” Robin said gently, Steve nodded in agreement.
“And tell him what? ‘Sorry I freaked out, I’m crazy about you and I’m pretty sure you like another girl, let’s still be friends okay?’” You answered sarcastically, “Nah, I don’t think that will work.” 
“Obviously don’t say that.” Steve started. “But there has to be a reason Henderson got you to kiss each other, and I don’t think it’s just because you like Eddie.”
“What are you trying to say?” You asked.
“Just that maybe he was trying to help both of you.” He said with a shrug. 
You couldn’t hope to believe that was true, “I dunno.” You sighed again. “I’ll be seeing Eddie on Christmas so we’ll see what happens.” 
“Just think about what we said, okay?” Robin said, placing a comforting hand on yours. You nodded. 
You grabbed the movie you came to rent, and headed out the door. “See you later.” 
~
Dustin was exiting the arcade when he saw you pull out of your parking space and drive towards the direction of your home. He ran into the video store. “Steve, was Y/N just in here?” the boy practically yelled. 
“Hey Henderson, yeah, she was, why do you ask? Trying to get her to kiss another guy?” Steve said as he was back to stocking the shelves. 
“She told you about that?” The boy sighed.
“Yeah, she did.” Robin chimed in, “She’s really embarrassed.”
“Why?” Dustin asked, confused.
“We know you know she likes Eddie, but she thinks he likes Chrissy.” Steve answered honestly, he was getting tired of being involved in other people’s love lives.
“Chrissy? Why does she think that?” 
“Mike told her that he’s had a crush on her since middle school like her first week here.” Robin said, not seeing the harm since Steve already spilled. 
“And she saw him staring at her after they kissed.” Steve added. “Got in her head. She’s pretty certain that he doesn’t feel the same way as her.” 
“Son of a bitch!” Dustin exclaimed loudly, making his way out of the store.
“Hey where are you going?!” Steve called after him.
“To talk to Eddie!” Dustin shouted back on his way out of the door. 
He grabbed his bike off the rack out front of the arcade and peddled as fast as he could to the trailer park.
~
“EDDIE!” Dustin yelled as he banged on the door to the man’s trailer. “EDDIE!”
“What is it Henderson?” The metalhead asked as he opened the door, clearly annoyed.
“I know what happened now.” The boy said out of breath, shoving past the man into the room.
“Oh do you?” He said with a sigh, this was not the first time Dustin had tried to talk to him about what happened, though this was the first time he came all the way to the trailer. 
“I was at the arcade and I saw Y/N driving away. She was getting a video and I went to talk to Steve and Robin about it and they told me what she said.” The boy said sitting on the small couch. 
Eddie raised his eyebrows and sat next to his friend, leaning his elbows on his knees. “Do tell Henderson.”
“She likes you, that’s just a fact, but Mike opened his big mouth.” Dustin said.
“Wheeler? He didn’t even talk to her.” Eddie said, confused.
“Right. Not on Friday. Months ago, when she first moved here. Mike told her that you’ve had a thing for Chrissy since middle school.” Dustin said quickly, “Y/N saw you staring at her when she came out of the school, guess she thought you still liked Chrissy and got upset.”
“Jesus Christ. Thanks a lot Wheeler.” Eddie sighed, rubbing his face with his hands. “And you’re sure?”
“Positive.” The boy answered with a nod.
“Okay, get out.” 
“What?” Dustin asked, eyebrows furrowed. 
“I need you to get out, I’m going to go tell that girl everything.” Eddie smiled at his friend as he stood up and walked to his room. He came back out a moment later holding a wrapped package.
“You’re going to tell her? Right now?” Dustin’s eyes were wide and he had a bright smile. 
“Yep, as soon as you get out of my house.” The metalhead said as he opened the door and gestured for the boy to go, smirk on his face. Dustin hurried out of the door and grabbed his bike. 
“Good luck man.” Dustin said as he sat on his bike. 
“Hopefully I don’t need luck.” Eddie said as he opened the door to his van. “And Dustin?”
“Yeah?”
“Thanks.” He said with a fond smile, he and the boy shared a nod before Eddie got in his van and drove away.
~
You were in your room sitting up against your headboard and watching Ghostbusters again, you and Eddie had rented and watched this movie so many times that you had practically memorized it by now. You heard someone knock on your front door and listened to your father say that he would get it. A few moments later there was a knock at your door. “Y/N?” You heard Eddie’s voice from the other side. “Can I come in?”
You felt your eyes go wide and your heart thunder in your chest. What was he doing here? “Shit.”
“Uhm, sure Eddie.” You said anxiously. The door opened and Eddie walked in with a nervous smile. 
“Hey sweetheart.” He said as he walked over to you, you brought your legs up and sat crossed legged as Eddie sat on the bed in front of you. 
“Hey Eds.” You said quietly. “What are you doing here?”
“You’ve been avoiding me.” He said, reaching out and grabbing one of your hands. “I think I know why.”
“What do you mean?” You asked, your pulse felt impossibly quick as you met his eyes. 
“I don’t like Chrissy.” He said bluntly, not wanting to beat around the bush. He saw your eyes go wide.
“What?” 
“I know you saw me looking at her on Friday after we kissed. I don’t like her like that, doll.” Eddie answered, squeezing your hand. “I mean, I used to. But that stopped like 3 years ago. And it was just because she was one of the only girls who was nice to me. I was looking at her because she got into a fight with her mom.” He chuckled before taking a deep breath.
“Now or never Munson.”
“Dolly, I’m crazy about you.” He confessed.
“What?” You said breathlessly, your eyes felt bigger than they've ever been. Certainly, you didn’t hear him right.
“I said, I’m crazy about you.” Eddie repeated with a smile. “And from what I’ve heard you feel the same way about me.” He said, lightly teasing. 
You couldn’t believe what you were hearing. You felt a large smile grow on your face, “I’m absolutely crazy about you, Eddie Munson.” 
Eddie beamed at you, the largest one you had ever seen on him. “Come here babydoll.” He tugged on your hand and pulled you to him, sitting you in his lap. “Can I kiss you again, beautiful?” 
You nodded your head, “Please?” 
He wrapped one of his arms around your waist, pulling you against him, as the other went to cup the side of your face. You felt his thumb rub the apple of your cheek as he gazed into your eyes. You wrapped your arms around his neck and suddenly his lips were on yours. The tentativeness that you had with your first kiss was not here this time as you kissed each other almost desperately. You both could feel the other smile as you did, neither believing that you were finally here. You only broke away when your lungs were screaming for air, lips swollen and pink.
“Will you be mine, sweetheart?” Eddie asked in between the kisses he started leaving on your neck.  
“If you're mine, Eds.” You answered breathlessly. You beamed as you felt him nod. “Perfect.” 
After a few minutes of breathless giggles in between hungry kisses, you pulled away from Eddie, his lips chasing yours. “I have your Christmas present if you don’t mind it early?” You said sweetly as you rested your forehead on his. 
“I have yours too.” He said with a smile. You got up off of Eddie’s lap and walked to your easel and picked up the painting you finished earlier. 
“It’s still a little wet so don’t touch it okay?” You said, earning a nod from the man. You turned it around and watched his expression, worried. 
Eddie’s eyebrows raised and you saw a large, awed, smile break on his face. “Baby, it’s amazing.” He said, it looked exactly like the picture you had taken, a level of detail neither of you knew you could do. 
“I had a good subject.” You flushed, you saw Eddie beam at the compliment.
“Thank you dolly, I feel like a real rockstar. I can’t wait to hang it up.” He said genuinely. You put the painting back so it could finish drying and when you got back to Eddie he pulled you into his lap again. He grabbed the package he brought and gave it to you. It was soft and haphazardly wrapped. You tore open the wrapping and pulled out a jean vest, much like Eddie’s. It had patches and pins of your favorite bands all over the front, and on the back was the same style of Led Zeppelin shirt you were wearing the day you met. 
“Oh Eddie, thank you so much. I love it. How did you find the Zeppelin shirt for this?” You asked excitedly, a large smile on your face. 
“Your dad helped me.” He said, returning your smile. You noticed a small flock of bats on the front right side, it looked like Eddie’s tattoos, hand painted.
“Did you paint these?” You asked surprised, pointing to the bats. 
“Yeah, took me forever, I wanted to get them right and they’re all upside down and shit for me so it was hard.” He laughed nervously, “I-uh- just wanted you to have me close, so you don’t forget about me you know?”
“I’d never be able to forget about you Eddie Munson.” You giggled, crashing your lips on his in another smiley kiss.

Bluebell | Chapter 1
Summary: After getting my heart broken the worst possible way, I thought I would never recover from it, that it was the end. But destiny had other plans for me. A few months later, I was on my way to Bluebell, to the town where my mother had also gotten her heart broken. But unlike her, I was about to start a new life, a new job, meet new friends... And despite telling myself it would not happen, I also fell in love. With two men. At the same time.
Author’s note: When I started writing I said to myself that I would not write love triangles because I didn’t enjoy watching or reading them myself. But I got inspired, and here we are 😂 Hope you enjoy this story, and as always, thank you for reading! 💜
Introduction | Next chapter
Masterlist
Tumblr media
"You got to be kidding me."
"Wait, babe, this isn't what it looks like."
"Isn't it?" I laughed. "You just randomly fell naked on top of my best friend, and your dick got inside her?"
"Not yet" she murmured.
"Oh, shut the fuck up, you bitch."
"Hey, no need to be rude, babe."
"No need to be rude? No need to… I just caught my fiancé fucking my best friend! I am allowed to be rude, angry and whatever the hell I want!" I said, storming out of the room.
"Babe, wait. Listen, I can explain" he said, following me.
"There is nothing to be explained. We are done. Forever" I said, throwing my engagement ring at him.
"But babe..."
That was the last thing I heard from him. My boyfriend for the past five years, and fiancé for a year and a half. He had been cheating on me with my best friend, the one I had known since we were six, for months. While I was planning our wedding, they were meeting in secret. And I didn't notice. I didn't see what they were doing in front of me.
I felt betrayed, like I was the biggest idiot in the world. And my heart had been broken on so many pieces, that I thought I would never recover from it.
I needed to start again, put everything that had happened behind me, forget about it. And I got the solution for my problem just a couple of months after that horrible day.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━      
"Are you planning on laying there just watching tv? Again?"
"That's the plan, yes."
"Why don't we go outside for a walk? Maybe do some shopping? They have the new collections out, maybe you'll find something that you’ll like."
"I'm not in the mood for shopping, mum. Besides, I'm not going anywhere, I don't need new clothes."
"But I do. C'mon" she says, trying to make me move from the sofa.
"I said I don't..." But I'm not able to finish my sentence, someone ringing at the door.
"Saved by the bell" mum says, going to check who it is.
"Who was it?"
"A messenger" she says, inspecting the envelope on her hands. "This looks official."
"Then open it" I urge her.
"Ok" she says.
"And? What is it, mum?" I ask. She's been in silence for a while, reading the papers and making weird faces.
"Your father died" she finally says.
"You mean the man that got you pregnant and then ignore you."
"Yes. Him. He died a few weeks ago, cancer. And he..."
"He what?"
"He left something for you on his will" my mum says, looking at me.
"What? I barely knew the man!" In fact, I had only met him once. When I was 16 and contacted him because I wanted to know how he looked like. My mum hadn't kept photos of him or anything, it was too painful for her.
"But you still were his only daughter and heir."
"I guess, yes. What did he leave me?"
"Everything."
"Everything?"
"His house, his car, his money, his cat... And the business."
"You mean... The bed and breakfast?" He had opened it years ago on his hometown, and according to Google, it was one of the best business in the area. Even the Queen had stopped once there when she was doing some tour.
"Yes. All of it. They want you to go there to officially take care of everything and decide what you want to do with it."
"Me? Going to... What was this town called again?"
"Bluebell."
"Right, Bluebell. And I have to go? Can't I just... Do it from here? Ask a lawyer to do it?"
"I'm afraid not" my mum says, holding my hand. "But this may be it, you know? The thing that will make you get out of this spiral of feeling sorry for yourself. This could be your new beginning."
"As the owner of a cat and a bed and breakfast?" I snort.
"You've worked as a receptionist before. You are good with people, can be bossy when needed, know about numbers and all that... I think you could be great at that job. At managing that place."
"I don't know, mum..."
"Give it a try. Even if it's just by going there and seeing how it is. And if you don't like it or the town, you can always come back. We'll think about how to invest all this money he left you."
"Is it a lot?" I ask.
"See it for yourself."
"Oh, wow." I had never seen so many zeros in my entire life. "And it is all mine?"
"According to those papers, it is."
"Alright then" I say after thinking about it for a while. "I guess it's time to pay Bluebell a visit."
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━      
"Oh, c'mon. Not this" I say as the car starts to slow down until it stops, smoke coming out of the front.
According to the gps, I'm almost at Bluebell, but I can't see any house around me yet. I've only driven past farms, and I saw the last one ages ago.
"Great. Now there is no signal either" I say when I get out of the car. I start moving around, lifting my phone to see it I can find any. But nothing. Fuck my luck.
Walking is an option, I know on which direction the town is. But I can't leave my luggage here. Or carry it on my own because I'm stupid and overpacked. And Bluebell could still be too far away to walk there. And what if I find myself having to run from a huge dog like those they have at the farms? What if I cross paths with a creep?
As if hearing my last thought, a motorbike shows up behind me, the driver stoppìng next to my car and turning off the very loud engine.
"Do you need help? he asks, lifting his helmet's visor.
"My car decided to die right in the middle of nowhere."
"Have you checked what is wrong with it?"
"No. But I wouldn't know what I am looking at, so" I shrug.
"Lucky you, I know my way around cars" he says, taking off his helmet. He is young, probably a couple of years younger than me. Brown hair, brown eyes, kind of a big nose, and he has one of the best smiles I've ever seen. Dimple included. If he is a creep, at least he is a cute one. "May I"? he asks, gesturing towards the car.
"All yours."
"This doesn't look good" he says after looking at the car's engine for a while. "I'm afraid you are gonna have to call for the recovery vehicle."
"There is no phone signal."
"Yeah, it gets lost on some areas. Where are you headed?"
"Bluebell."
"Really? I'm from there" he says with a big smile. "I can give you a ride if you want, I know who can help you. He is a friend of mine, he'll behave and don't charge you too much."
"But I can't leave my luggage here."
"Unless the cows decide it's time for them to wear clothes, no one will come. Trust me."
Trust me. That's what a creep would say. Handsome or not.
"I'm not a creep, I promise" he says as if reading my mind.
"Ok, fine" I finally say. "But you only have one helmet."
"You can wear it, I don't mind."
"Are you sure? You won't get a fine or something?"
"On Bluebell? Nah" he laughs.
"Is it a lawless town?" I ask, putting the helmet on.
"Oh, no. We have rules and we follow them. But it is a quiet town" he says, getting on the motorbike and turning the engine on. "Ready?"
"Ready!" I yell, hoping he can hear me.
"You can hold to me, you'll probably be more comfortable."
"I'm fine!"
"Alright then" he says. "I'm Mason, by the way."
"I'm..." but my name gets lost, the engine of the motorbike being too loud for him to hear. That, and also because I start screaming, having to hold to him the moment he speeds up. He just laughs, his body shaking under my grip.

"He believed that when he was alone, he could do anything all by himself. For a lone person, when he reaches the peak of his achievement, he's still alone; when he falls to the depths of the abyss, too, he's still alone.

some fun facts about Beck Aken from my blast from the past AU!
-He’s technically 16 in the fic but with how everything works, he gets thrown forward 20 years but to an earlier month. His birthday’s in December, but he got sent forward to August. So he kinda just says “fuck it, guess I’m 15 again.”
-He hated all school subjects except math and science. His teachers in those subjects that he didn’t like hated him because he got perfect grades even though he gave zero effort and was basically on his phone the entire time.
-He was well known for skipping half of gym class to go listen to music and not have to “run around like an idiot” as he put it.
-He absolutely hated Professor Callaghan’s guts. He respected the man as an accomplished inventor and scientist, but found him to be an insufferable, overly-responsible, and way too obsessed with ethics. Professor Callaghan, in turn, thought he was reckless, foolish, and impulsive. They did NOT get along.
-The only authority figures he respects are Professor Granville and Aunt Cass, and that is absolutely it.
-He doesn’t respect cops, he’s scared of doctors and hospitals, and he has a deep admiration of firefighters because he is terrified of fire and appreciates them for being brave enough to go near it.
-He is very comfortable with theft if it means he gets something he wants. Such as clothes, or a new laptop, or college tuition.
-He also hates Alistair Krei because he met the guy once and thought he was way too arrogant and cut corners in ways Beck didn’t like.
-His favorite song is Icarus by Starset, and no, the irony isn’t lost on him that he basically IS an Icarus himself given the whole energy amplifier thing. He kinda makes it into a personality trait and adopts the motif as his own. He also dresses up as Icarus for Halloween.
-He was forced to learn how to play violin because he had to pick a music subject in high school, but he only ever plays Starset covers out of spite.

If I wanted to see my fave have a bad time, I’d just watch his show 😒😂 Anywho, I want to say Stolen Moments has the happiest ending, because they get to live happily (and safely) ever after, but… can that be the happiest if someone… Hmm never mind idk, I’m just gonna say Stolen Moments lol.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Tumblr media
Yes lmaooo. Folks have lost their minds lol. Hell, sometimes it’s not even about the fic. Sometimes it’s just some idiotic college kid & their friends, pressed because I said it’s wild to ship the “he murdered her mom” fanon couple… in a post… on here… on my own blog, and so they try to come into my comment sections on ao3 being cunts unprovoked… Or it’ll be some unhinged Bucky stan, upset because I had the audacity to mention something that actually happened in canon, again, here on my own blog 😂😂 Anyway, that’s why my comment sections have restrictions on them now.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Umm no, not really lol. I think the closest I came was the restroom encounter in Wanted; does that count?
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Nah. I have to stick to the rivers and the lakes that I’m used to.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Many many many moons ago
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yeah
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nah… I don’t think I have the… qualities needed for that lol.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Sheesh I’m just gonna say SamBucky ‘cause they’re my OTP of the moment.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I still have hope that I’ll finish my WIP that’s posted: Weep Not for the Memories, and I don’t want to jinx myself 🤞🏾
16. What are your writing strengths?
Hmm. I think I’m realistic when writing stories, or at least as realistic as the plot allows. Like, for example, you ever read a fic with a kid, and you can tell that not only has the author never talked to a kid (or even met a kid) as an adult, but they’ve also somehow forgotten everything about being a kid? Well, yeah, that’s not me lol. If there’s a kid in my fic, they’re gonna be more Huxtable than Griffin — not to use the word normal, but they’re going to be normal.
I also think I write family interactions pretty well. Plus I’m good at adding drama that’s soapy, but that could also totally happen. This is just a long winded way of saying, I can write characters that seem like someone you could meet, and that’s harder than one might think.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Smut. Definitely smut. Enjoy reading it, feel super weird writing it. (It’s probably my inner cradle Catholic jumping out lol.)
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Okay, I think I’ve done this like once maybe. Anywho, I think it’s cool; I just don’t really ever end up doing it.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Friends
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Shoot, I enjoy tf out of all of my fics. Sometimes, I’ll be rereading them on the edge of my seat, waiting with bated breath for what’s gonna happen next 😭 Welp, this wasn’t the question, but let me just name three of my faves for y’all:
Stolen Moments: My almost 100K word SamSteve/SamBucky love triangle soap opera epic. It’s fun, if I do say so myself.
Your Secrets are Safe With Me: Over 5K words of Bucky being problematic in the name of love. This was my foray into something “dark” lol.
Tell it to My Heart (Tell Me I’m the Only One): The first fic in my Inspired by Reddit Posts series. Sam and Bucky are in the same Waffle House; is it big enough for the both of them??? lmaooo

So far I’m on season two, but already I’ve got a list of things I’d do if I owned the legal rights to OUAT.
In no particular order; this is that list:
1. Make SwanQueen canon.
2. Have Cora put her heart back in so she can be the mom that Regina deserves. (Definitely have Regina and Cora go to therapy though.)
3. Tf was all that Peter Pan/Neverland business. I get that that’s where we got Henry realizing Regina was actually trying to be a better person and that her past shouldn’t define her future, but like it was a dumb ark. So I’m getting rid of that.
4. In place of the Neverland ark, we’d see Regina and Emma exploring their relationship, Regina and Cora mending theirs, Henry would stop being a little shit. Maybe there’d be something silly and Emma and Regina would share TLK?
5. Snow and Regina would actively try to understand each other, Regina would explain what being married to the soggy raisin was like and snow would see that Regina wasn’t evil she was just hurting.
6. I’d get rid of Neal somehow, like I personally think that a 200+ year old getting a 17 year old pregnant is creepy. Even if he wasn’t in triple digits, he would’ve been around 27 if the show is to be believed and that’s still statutory r*pe in my opinion. Like yeah I get Henry needs to be born but maybe figure out a way to keep him from trying to win Emma back? Like he fucked up big time so, he’d definitely have to go.
7. Hook’s gay. No elaboration. He’s gay. Fight me.
8. Honestly the blue fairy meddled in so much and from what I’ve seen she’s 100% evil. So she’d definitely have to go.
9. Rumple and belle, I know a lot of people like this ship but tbh, it’s kinda icky. Like there’s definitely a Stockholm Syndrome type of thing going on. Idk. Maybe Rumple and Hook can get it on? Belle can be with Mulan.
10. The whole, “Regina’s soulmate has a lion tattoo.” thing? Weird but people change, so I’d explore that but with Tink admitting that people’s soulmates can change as the person evolves.
11. Emma’s tattoo would definitely be explained. Because we all deserved that story.
12. Zelena saw how Cora treated Regina when Rumple showed her Regina’s life so I’d say that she wouldn’t have held any resentment towards Regina. I honestly think the writers could’ve made a much better storyline for them.
13. Another thing, why’d they just send Ruby away? Like, she’s such a great character and they just tossed her aside. They could’ve come up with something better. Especially if she was gonna just pop back up at random times.
14. The Robin/Zelena thing also gave me the ick. So that’s out. That shouldn’t have even been a thing.
15. I liked the time travel thing but if I made Zelena and Regina have a better relationship then that wouldn’t have existed so I’d have to find another villain to make it happen. BLUE!! She’d totally do it.
16. Emma would totally fall through the portal, regina would follow her because “Ms. Swan when will you stop being an idiot?!”
17. Maybe rather than being thrown into one point in time we could see Emma and Regina navigate through different points in their life while trying to keep blue from messing things up?
18. I’d have liked to see a bit more of Henry exploring his role as author. Maybe he’d write the stories properly rather than having a biased story that portrays things as black and white. Idk, I’d just like to see the stories get written as they should have been rather than the way Issac (was that his name?) wrote them.
19. Snow and charming would definitely apologize to Maleficent for taking her child and forcing her to take on Emma’s darkness. Maybe I’d show Emma and Lily finding a spell or something to balance themselves so they wouldn’t be so messed up.
20. Dark Swan ark would definitely happen but it would totally be explored the way it should’ve been. It was the “Dark Swan” ark not the “Pity me Hook and Dark Swan” ark.
Honestly this is all I’ve got so far, if you guys want more I’ll definitely add more but I have to get further along in the show because currently this is all I can remember.
And if you have some things you’d like to add to this list, please do! I would love to see what you all think!

So now Charles and camilla are trying to wash their hands of from their wrongdoings and blame their secretary for “mistakenly” leak the first meeting between William and camilla let tell the truth once again. It wasn’t leaked mistakenly by her secretary, if you believe anything can be leaked mistakenly you’re idiot, I’m sorry. It was not mistakenly, quite willingly shared to improve camillas public image. By saying dianas own son love her, who is the public to not accept camilla.
The diana cheated first shit came from the “Charles villain or victim” book that came a few months after diana death. The author publicly admits that main source for this book was the famous Mark Bolland whom Charles and camilla had employed to improve camillas image, if needed he could use his sons as well, especially William. When the book backfired, when he couldn’t achieve to be the victim he wanted he and camilla both issued and statement that they had nothing to do with the book. Much like harold and his wife lying to the court that they have nothing to do with finding freedom book.
youtube
Here is the documentary. Charles ex secretary or whatever she was speaks in this.
Now we have harold blaming William and Catherine ( who literally wasn’t in that party, not when he bought the costume but just Williams girlfriend at that point) for his nazi costume. Much like his father now blaming the secretary for mistakenly leaking that meeting. The fact that Charles never considered his teenage son 15/16 years old son and how he would feel he had betrayed his not even a year dead mother is always a big yuck to me. I have said it countless of times, harold and Charles are so similar. They both throw their children under the buss to achieve what they want, Charles to improve camillas image, harold to get the tax payers security. 🤮.
What is more disgusting is that Charles is not “voiceless” when it comes to protect camilla from harold claims. He was fast to “correct” that she didn’t leak but her secretary did. He didn’t think correcting claims that William hit harold tho, it’s not important. Charles saying he is voiceless but every night putting some palace sources statements proves harold point unfortunately. Also, saying he will always welcome his entitled son after turning them into some cheap soup opera, more important increasing risk for British population because it’s peasants who will suffer not royals because they have security is such a bad look.
Lastly, valentino low saying that it was princw William who alway discouraged negative leaking about members of the family says a lot. He didn’t have to mention a name yet he did for a reason. I love you William, you don’t deserve all that you’re going through. Unfortunately your mother, father and brother gave only pain to you. I have more sympathy for diana because I’m sure William misses her. And everyone, believe me I’m not happy to share this but no Charles, you own your shit, you’re not perfect. Just like we call out harold we should call out Charles as well. @anonymousretired @ladykinrannoch @dflogerzi @alice-of-the-castle @cambridgemadness @honeytothebee @scorpiotwentythree
