a/n: A little series that just occurred to me a few hours ago and that I wanted to keep here for the meantime.
A compilation of children's stories with a different ending than the one Disney shows in its movies. A place where you can hear the voices of the villains of these tales, and what would happen if the protagonist decided to take a different path.
Tumblr media
Before The Hook | Peter Pan
Seokjin (Captain Hook) x fem!reader (Tinkerbell)
Before Kim Seokjin became known as the famous pirate called "Captain Hook" he was also an ordinary person. A boy with dreams and hopes, with a zest for life, with a desire to always have the youthful spirit that characterized him so much.
You listened to his wish and went to him, giving him the opportunity to enter Neverland. You never thought that things would end so badly for both of you.
Tumblr media
Under The Hood | Little Red Riding Hood
Yoongi (Werewolf) x fem!reader (Little Red Riding Hood)
What would you do if the people in the town you grew up in for over 25 years turned their backs on you the day someone, or something, murdered your grandmother? Worse yet, what would you do if all those people you trusted so much blamed you for the crime and were willing to take your life for it?
Well, the most logical answer is to run away, right? That's why you grabbed your red hood, your uncle's axe and a basket full of food, ready to find whoever had committed the crime so you could clear your name and let your grandmother rest in peace.
Tumblr media
When You Find My Heart | Alice In Wonderland
Hoseok (King of Hearts) x fem!reader (Alice)
You always believed that reading put you in a kind of trance, because whenever you read you entered a kind of blank moment, time seemed to pass differently, the place around you disappeared and became a completely different one.
That always happened to you when you read about Wonderland. At least until from one day to the next your book changed its order, forcing you to read it backwards.
Tumblr media
Cold As Ice | Snow White
Namjoon (Robin Hood) x fem!reader (The Evil Queen)
Every day of your life you looked in the mirror, and every day you asked the same question. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful in the kingdom? Is that how the rumors were supposed to go? You were sure of it.
Every day you woke up with a bitter taste in your mouth, wishing those bad rumors would reach someone brave enough to end your life.
That's when Namjoon comes in, ready to do whatever it takes to save his friend Eira's life and that of his people. You were just another corrupt queen, I had nothing to lose, right?
Tumblr media
When I Hear Your Voice | The Little Mermaid
Jimin (Prince Eric) x fem!reader (Ursula's daughter)
For the first time in your whole life you had used the advice your mother had given you since you were a little girl. You had the recipe to be human, you had the recipe to make anyone in the world fall in love with you, you could even become the most beautiful woman on the planet, but none of it would bring your mother back.
At least, you thought, you could still return the favor to that bitch who had taken your mother's life. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, if she took away what you loved most in this life, you would take away what she loved most, Park Jimin, the man for whom she risked the lives of all the inhabitants of the marine kingdom, and for whom you would now do the impossible to steal her
Tumblr media
I See The Light | Tangled
Taehyung/Vante (Eugene) x fem!reader (Rapunzel)
Your job had always been fairly simple. You would stand waiting in your tower until some poor man came in and ran into you. You would offer them a place to sleep and give them food, all so that they would be unconscious and ready for your mother to take them out of the tower and do with them whatever she wanted.
That had been your routine until the arrival of Vante, a criminal who was willing to do whatever it took to escape the tower alive. So you made him a deal.
His freedom for yours.
Tumblr media
Zero To Hero | Hercules
Jungkook (Hercules) x fem!reader (Megara)
You met Jungkook when he was just a wimpy, whiny teenager, a lost boy who didn't know where he belonged or what to do with his life.
You gave him a little push, without giving him much importance, without thinking that he would be the same person who would put your life at risk years later, without thinking that your current self was willing to do anything to protect him and his noble heart from the monster that was the person to whom you belonged.

Unknowing- Florida
(Alice x Reader x Jasper)
Tumblr media
[One] [Two] [Three]
Warnings: a little spicy?
Learning to be a hybrid was... in less than two words; different. I don't use my werewolf ability at all.
But having that in me I can sense more than I ever have before. Hunting is something new as well. I can see better in the dark. The taste was more bearable- speaking of taste I can eat human food again too.
Now when I eat in front of Charlie it's not tasting like sand anymore. I can go out in the sun as well, I don't sparkle like the others.
I'm still immortal, I still need to drink blood to survive and not get thirsty. My abilities are enhanced. I can take energy from electronics now, and plant-life.
Getting back to school, everyone was curious about where I was, having to tell them I had to get surgery done in a different state. Angela was the most worried, and concerned. Jessica acted like she cared but we all know how she really felt.
Today, I decided to sit at lunch before Jasper and Alice joined me. "My fellow students. Cool, right? Wow, okay, right? We are the future. Anything is possible... if you just believe." Mike reads out loud as he is writing on what Jessica should say since she's valedictorian. "Nice." Angela mumbles, not really paying attention.
He rips the page from his notebook. "Blah, blah, blah... Perfect. And you got yourself a speech." He hands the page to her.
"No, this will be my speech when I want everyone to throw their diplomas at my head. So... Thank you." She crumpled the paper, tossing it at him.
"Ya gotta embrace the cliches, Jess." Mike tells her.
"They have the bread and butter of all valedictorians." Eric chimes in. "And that is why you are not valedictorian. And Jess doesn't need cliches. Her speech is gonna be epic." Angela hypes up her close friend.
"Epic? It'll change lives." Jessica grins, and after that Alice and Jasper abruptly appear, carrying food trays as if they're going to eat them.
They sit on either side of me. Jasper kissing my temple. "I decided to throw a party." Alice announces with a huge grin.
"After all, how many times are we gonna graduate high school?" Jasper asks in a teasing tone that only Bella, Edward, Alice and I are going to understand. Edward and I stifle a smile.
"A party? At your place?" Angela questions. "I've never seen your house." Jessica says. I lean my head onto Jasper's shoulder. "No one's ever seen their house." Eric points out.
"I have." I raise my hand a little bit, Eric and Jessica give me a look and I chuckle. "Another party, Alice?" Edward looks at her.
"It'll be fun." She assures them.
"Yeah, that's what you said last time." Bella comments, I give her a dirty expression, reaching over to smack her arm. She says ow and I quietly give her a "what the fuck is wrong with you?" before looking back at my girlfriend who is currently freezing, having a vision. Luckily no one is noticing.
"Well cool, that's really uh... normal of you. What time?" She doesn't answer. "Dress code?" Still nothing from her. "Bring anything? Cheetos?"
I shake her shoulder a little bit, "Wake up, Alice." Edward speaks up. "She hasn't been getting much sleep lately, senior jitters." Jasper covers for her, which I'm proud of him for talking more to everyone.
Getting his thirst under control.
Alice wakes from her vision. She gives me a worried expression.
"Oh, babe, can you come with me to your car? I left something." I ask her with a sweet smile. She looks taken back but us three get up and leave the table. I glance back to Edward who gives me a small nod.
"What did you see?" I questioned her as we walked out of the doors of the school. "I- You can't tell Bella. Edward doesn't want her to know." She starts, I nod my head. Edward's been protecting her. It's been a little extreme but Bella's stubborn so I appreciate him for it. "Okay." I motion for her to continue.
"Before I do, babe is new." She mentions what I said earlier. I shrug, holding back a smile. "It kind of just left my mouth. It was too late to go back on it." I mutter.  I then hear a dean start walking to the doors, cutting her off before she can say anything else. "Let's go to the car." I tell them, we hurriedly head over to the car before anyone sees.
"It was brief, it has something to do with Victoria and newborn vampires." She says, holding her head as she remembers everything. I let out a breath, I wasn't scared about Victoria anymore.
This might come across as cocky but I have every right to be. "This weekend, she's going to try something. Do you think you would be alright going to Florida with your sister and Edward?" Alice looks up at me, something that I could never get used to.
Another thing that's changed in my transformation is my height. Being 5'8 now, closer to Jasper. Also having a muscular build.
"If it's to protect my sister, of course." I cross my arms, glancing down at her then to Jasper who's smiling at me. "What?" I furrow my brows.
"Nothing." He chuckles, the bell rings and I let out a sigh. "You think Edward will let me take his ability for this test?" I jokingly ask them as we go back inside the school.
"He might if you coerce him." Alice laughs, holding on to my arm. My next class is with him so I actually could if I wanted to. "Might lecture you about it." Jasper disagrees, I press my lips together.
"Shall we see?" I smirk, we stop in front of my class. "We'll see you after class, Darling." Jasper playfully rolls his eyes, both of them waving as they walk to their own class.
I enter the class, noticing Edward already staring at me. I grin, going over to the table we sit next to each other at.
"No." Is the first thing he says. "What?" I act as if I don't know what he means. "You're not taking my ability."
"What do you mean?" I raise a brow, acting confused. "Don't play dumb." He scoffs, but I can tell he finds it amusing.
"I don't know why you're so accusatory. I would never want to use your ability so I could cheat on this test and get an A." I put my hands up defensively, getting out a pencil for the test.
"You're so subtle." He says, then as the class begins the teacher has a student pass out the papers. Edward puts his hand in front of me, tapping the table three times.
A smile grows on my face. The tapping means he's letting me use his energy. He used to do it before I had to go through the transformation. No one knew because everyone thought I was getting better.
He obviously knew I didn't want to worry anyone. Edward's the reason I didn't have to go through it sooner than I wanted.
Two papers are placed on our table, I give one to him.
"So, what was that at school? What did Alice see?" Bella questions Edward and I as we enter the Sheriff's station. "Nothing. Something about Jasper. It was innocuous." Edward lies, my sister glances up at me. I nod, agreeing with her boyfriend.
"I know you know what she saw. Tell me." She demands from him. "It was nothing." He continues.
"You looked worried." Bella points out. "Just that everyone would notice how strange Alice is." He comes up with a cover up. "I think that ship sailed long ago." I cleared my throat, shaking my head at her.
We all look at Charlie who subtly gestures for us to keep our distance. "I wonder what's wrong." Edward says.
"There's someone missing in Seattle, over a year ago. Charlie is doing what he can, but... Do you know something about this?" Bella quizzes suddenly.
"We've been tracking the situation in Seattle for a while. Unexplained disappearances, killings... If the situation gets more conspicuous, the Volturi will step in." Edward explains, I cross my arms, remembering them asking me if I could use Alice's ability to see more.
Using the other's abilities with my situation, we've learned I can experience more enhanced usages. I can barely get anything though.
"If they go to Seattle, they can come here. They can see I'm still human." Bella worriedly expresses. "We won't get that far. But we'll go to Seattle if we have to." He reassures her concern.
"I'll fax these down first thing." I hear Charlie say.
"Thank you." The older couple walks off, he then approaches us.
"Hey you two." He does a short wave.
"Hey." We say almost in unison. "Are you guys ready for dinner?" He asks, I nod my head as Bella verbally answers him. He puts a picture into his case. I take a peak seeing the name and face; Riley.
As we stand there I feel the tension between Edward and Charlie. "It is still just us three, right?" He questions.
"Yeah, I'm just dropping them off. See you later." He gently passes my sister, but before he gets far he stops. "Oh... Bella. My parents wanted to remind you about the... Airline tickets you got for your birthday." Edward refreshes her memory.
"What airline tickets?" Dad asks. "A round trip ticket to see Mom in Florida." She says.
"Wow, that was generous."
"And it expires soon, they say you might wanna use it this weekend." Edward mentions, eyeing me quickly, not even able to be catched by Bella and Charlie. "Well, I can't just drop everything and go."
"It might be your last chance to see her before you graduate." I can tell that sentence hits Bella a certain way. "Well. It might not be a bad idea. Get you both out of the town for a couple days, get some distance." The last part was directed to Edward.
"Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing mom... As long as you use the companion ticket." Bella then turns to her boyfriend, I suck at my bottom lip trying my best not to laugh at our dad's facial expression.
"Wait, three tickets? Super, that makes me really happy." The sarcasm in his voice almost made me lose it.
Before leaving for Florida Alice and Jasper took me out for a date. Kind of? We went to our usual spot in the woods, sitting on a blanket. "What's all this for?" I question, sitting between them as usual.
"Just wanted to make you feel special before you left." Alice smiles, kissing my lips catching me off guard. "Mm, alright." I lay my head back on the boulder behind us.
"I feel like this is to talk about something serious." I call them out.
"It really isn't, love." Jasper lays a hand on my thigh. "We just want to spend time with you, it feels like it's been a while since we've been able to really be alone." Alice chimes in. Then I lifted my head, her tone of voice felt different.
"Mm, yeah?" I hum out, realizing how close they really are now.
"Tonight is gonna be all about you, Darling." Jasper takes my hand, sliding it into his as he then kisses it softly.
Alice comes closer to my face, I lift my free hand to the back of her head and roughly smash my lips upon hers. I feel Jasper's lips lead up to my neck.
I feel my face warm up intensely. I feel Alice bite my bottom lip and I let out a low growl in response, laughing at her antics.
Jasper was still attacking my neck as Alice and I were making out.
It's been a while since we've gotten to do anything. All the drama of our weird lives we live.
I'm not going to give too many details of the night.. Just know the sun was out when it was over.
"Aren't you two going to miss this? Don't you just feel the vitamin D soaking up in your pores?" Renee questions us, we both told her our plans after graduation.
She thinks that Bella's going to the University of Alaska. And I'm going with Jasper and Alice to the country of Europe to travel mine's not exactly a lie though. Right now we sit in the sun, lying in lounge chairs that are pushed tightly together.
"Yeah, I'm gonna miss this." Bella admits. "I was never one for the sun." I comment, our mom sighs out a small snicker. "I remember." She smacks my knee in a playful manner.
"You know, colleges in Florida are a lot sunnier. I'm just saying Bella, if you go to the University of Alaska... I'm never gonna see you." Renee frowns, attempting to change my sister's mind about the Alaska thing.
Renee is excited about my traveling, I told her she could join every now and then when we first got here. She takes our moms hand. "They have a really great science program."
"You mean Edward program." She nudges Bella who smiles, looking inside the house. Edward was sitting in a chair with a view of Bella, offering a small wave to her then continuing back to a conversation with Phil who was lying on the couch.
"The way he watches you... It's like he's willing to leap in front of you and take a bullet or something. Have you noticed that [Name]?" She points out to Bella and then looks at me. I just shrug my shoulders in response. "Is that a bad thing?"
"It's an intense thing. You're different with him. If he moves, you move. Like magnets." Renee tells Bella, not upset about it."I don't know, we're just... In love." Bella doesn't exactly know what to say.
"I get it. I just want to make sure you're making the right choices for you. You know, cause you're the one who's gonna have to live with them." She's being a mom which is understandable, if only she knew what the both of us really have to deal with. Bella takes the information in though.
Our mom notices her in her own head so she changes the subject. "Alright, enough with the heavy." She reaches under her chair and pulls up two large boxes.
"Mom." Bella starts. Renee places one on both our laps. "Congratulations, my girls." She clasps her hands together. "I didn't want you to spend your money." Bella frowns.
"I didn't, come on." She rushes us. "Thank you, mom." I smile at her. "Open it before you thank me." She motions for me to get to it. We open the box to find quilts, we unfold it and see what they're made of.
"Are these all our old trip T-shirts?" Bella grins, shocked by our gift. "I saved them all. I thought they'd make a good quilt. To keep you warm in Alaska. And you warm wherever you travel if needed." She tells us both. "Remember this one? Ensenada." She points to one of the shirts on Bella's quilt that's in a different place on mine. "The snake pit." Bella nods.
"Yep. But this one is my favorite. Here..." She points to the one on mine. "The three-headed lobster in Maine." I comment. "This is amazing." Bella hypes up the gift.
"No, honey. I'm glad you both like it. I just figured, you know, when you two get older, have kids. We can add to it. Maybe go visit... the world's largest catsup bottle or something." She explains the gift. Both of us go quiet. She wraps us both in the quilts. "Oh... I'm glad you like it." She smiled sweetly. Bella hugs Renee tightly.
My chest tightens, knowing this could be Bella's last time, Bella waves to me to join so I place the Quilt down and join in the hug. I feel my mom's arm squeeze my back to bring me closer.
"I just thought, you should have a little piece of me, up there in Alaska, and wherever your heart desires, [Name]." She says, I back away from the hug.
"Mom." Bella begins. "Yeah."
"I miss you." She says truthfully. "Oh, honey. I miss you, too." I could tell she was surprised from Bella's emotional state but continued to hug her.
I call Alice and Jasper every like three hours to check in with everything.
I could tell Bella was getting nosey so when I did it I went to the ocean to have a walk or outside where Bella couldn't hear what I was saying.
Everyone, including the wolves, are chasing after Victoria now.

How do you think the House of Mouse would feel about RSA?
Like I can imagine at least Donald and Mickey would feel like Yuu would be safer with the 'heroes' than she would with villains.
Would Ariel still ship Yuu with Azul if she meets Prince Rielle?
I know that Snow White and Neige would get along well and the dwarves (especially Dopey because he's a sweetheart) would like him a lot more than they would Vil.
I'm torn because the heroes would be like 'there's a school that could have our counterparts who haven't overblotted and nearly killed you but then again these boys do love you.'
Idk I feel like it would depend on how well the House of Mouse gang knows the NRC boys if that makes sense? Like if all they know about the boys is that they attend a "villains" school and Yuu venting about her frustrations. Only to add that their rival school across town is full of "hero's". Then yeah they may have a bias. Because then they're going to question "why not go there and befriend those boys if the NRC ones are so awful?"
But if they have already gotten to know the NRC boys, they know they are Yuus friends and they aren't all that bad. Then the RSA boys will be more the merrier.
Rielle is probably a descendent of Ariels sisters, so Ariel is probably eager to meet him and have him sit with her, Eric, and Melody. She want to get to know her nephew after all. And of course she has to invite Yuu to have dinner with them! As much as Ariel may like Azul, having Yuu legit be in her family is too tempting.
Neige and Snow are like peas in a pod. They are one and the same. They have to take up a giant party table because they have 16 people. Grumpy is talking to all of Neiges friends like he's their grouchy grandpa. He means well though.
Che'nya probably chilling out with the Chesire cat. They're on the same wavelength. He probably likes to annoy Alice and Riddle while they're trying to have tea.
The headmage Ambrose is probably having dinner with Merlin and all the fairy godmothers, and Crowley is with him, not wanting to be there. "You know Crowley this place is great, we should hold the next headmage meeting here."

hello hello, i am here again to make a request, with the dormleader with a male reader who is the prince of their stories(like malleus with philip!reader and riddle with alice!reader) i just think it would be funny (and also bcs i haven't seen people do this so-)
TWST Dormleaders x Prince!Yuu
Dude this prompt has been stuck in my head I just haven't written it for whatever reason so I thank you for giving me an excuse to do so
🌹Riddle Rosehearts🌹
I love this dynamic omfg
Alice’s immediate response to seeing Riddle is to look up, speak nicely, stop twiddling his fingers, point out his toes, curtsy, opens his mouth a little wider and exclaims “YES YOUR MAJESTY!”
Riddle is spooked at first but then goes “At least SOMEONE knows the rules”
Alice is incredibly reckless due to intense curiosity
But everytime Riddle gets onto you, you look up at him and go “But my queen, it was oh so curious”
Hearing your mid-atlantic accent he can’t stay mad at you you’re just too sweet🥺
You’ve been through Wonderland once before so you at least know how to play their version of croquet and a couple of the rules
I feel like a couple of times Alice would purposely break the rules to get collared because he’s so interested in how it works
Alice is just a tad naive due to his curiosity in EVERYTHING so if Riddle and Alice are having tea time and a white rabbit passes by, Alice will chase it
Riddle only knows the story of the Queen of Hearts not Alice In Wonderland so this makes no sense to him
Imagine a very short person running after a rabbit in the fields with Riddle the Housewarden chasing them in his dorm uniform😭
I can’t stop thinking of Alice with puffy blue dresses with ribbon decor, so cute I love
Alice and Chenya are immediate BFFS
Alice keeps calling him “Cheshire Cat” which he doesn’t get but he’s happy to go along with it
That scene when the Cheshire cat is distracting Alice from the Queen during a game of croquet but with Male! Alice, Chenya, and Riddle
Riddle keeps hearing small giggles behind him but he doesn’t understand why
Alice introduces the Hearslaybul boys to the “Painting the roses red” song
It’s their anthem now
AND ALICE WOULD DEFINITELY SING GOLDEN AFTERNOON TO THE GARDEN FLOWERS YOU CANT CHANGE MY MIND
Alice is overall a very happy boy who drags Adeuce on adventures and gives his queen a heart attack but also kiss attacks
Heartslaybul has been a more joyous place with the arrival of Alice
🦁Leona Kingscholar🦁
Isn’t….. isn’t the prince…. cheka
He is
He is the prince
I don’t know how to write this unless I break some moral codes which I’m not feeling up to
I’m sorry :,)
🐙Azul Ashengrotto🐙
Dude
This is everything
He would fall in love with Azul when he hears his singing voice
But of course in proper Little Mermaid fashion, Eric doesn’t know who said voice belongs to
He goes around the school for days, asking if someone knows someone with “The voice of an angel🥺”
This dude is a hopeless romantic who definitely believes in love at first sight (or song ig)
I think Jade catches on pretty quickly to who he’s talking about
He doesn’t do anything for a while until he decides to tell Floyd, who on the contrary thinks it would be entertaining to very much do something about it
Cue a montage of them elaborately trying to get you to realize that the person you’re looking for is Azul but just narrowly missing
This includes the boat scene
Floyd actually did end up knocking the boat over bc he was bored
When Floyd’s enthusiasm dies he’s just like “Yo the person you were looking for is Azul”
Eric: Finally the love of my life has come to me🥺
Eric is very well versed in the ways of the sea considering he spent a lot of his life on it so he knows plenty about the sea life in Twisted Wonderland or is interested in learning
This means Azul would give him a water breathing potion so he can explore underwater
It takes a lot of convincing to get Azul to come with him since he’s still kind of insecure about his octopus form
But when Eric gives him the puppy dog eyes it’s game over
He’s gushing all over Azul telling him how beautiful and majestic he is
Azul almost inks
He actually does when Eric squeezes the life out of him due to excitement
He just loves his octo bf so much🥹
But he’s still a prince so he’ll spoil Azul with his princely manners
Will always pull out a chair for him, lead him in dancing, sword fight someone in his honor etc.
The tweels think it’s kind of pathetic how head over heels he is for Azul but Azul is just as enamored, just less showy about it
Discounts at the Monstro lounge is a given
There definitely was a time when Eric was knocked into the water and couldn’t get back up so Azul had to dive in to save him
Romance
🥳Kalim Al-Asim🥳
This is super cute but Aladdin has no idea how to deal
He’s dirt poor but he managed to land a partner that’s filthy rich
I mean it wouldn’t be the first time
But because of his upbringing that means that he’s become very perceptive of bad people
He probably warned Kalim before Jamil’s overblot, Kalim refused to believe him though because he was so convinced Jamil would never do anything to hurt him
He understood where he was coming from and wanted to say “Yeah you’re probably right” but he knew it wasn’t true
But he also knew Kalim wouldn’t listen to him so his hands were kind of tied
But blah blah blah Jamil’s overblot happened, Aladdin saved the day fluffy stuff
Kalim loves Abu he just wants to give him a little squeeze
Abu is slippery though so he just feeds him food
Abu likes him a bunch because of this
On days where Kalim wants to take Aladdin for a magic carpet ride he’s like “BRO I GOT ONE TOO””OMG TWINS”
There’s a lot of carpet races because of this
But on a night where Aladdin was feeling particularly romantic he serenaded him with “I can show you the world”
Kalim cried
The way that Kalim best shows affection is through material items since that’s something he knows he’s good at
He throws a lot of expensive jewelry and clothes at Aladdin
It’s not like Aladdin doesn’t appreciate it but he doesn’t need those things to be happy
All he needs is Kalim
When he tells him that, Kalim starts crying Part 2
Because of Aladdin’s tendency to swipe things he probably shouldn’t this kind of gets him into trouble a bunch
That is if anyone could catch him
Just like his pal Abu he’s a slippery fellow
Kalim finds it endearing
🦚Vil Schoenheit🦚
No hate to The Prince but he has the personality of a thumb
He’s only gotten two scenes in the movie and doesn’t even have an official name
So I’ll just call him Prince ig
But Vil and Prince are kind of the perfect couple ngl
Vil thinks of himself as a Queen and who better for a Queen than a soon to be King?
Prince simps for Vil so hard
Like I don’t know how to verbally express how much
He would die for Vil, he would kill for his Queen, every formal interaction he will get on one knee and kiss Vil’s hand, the power dynamic is kinda 🫣🥴
This just gives me “loyal puppy dog Prince x powerful ‘will kill you if you touch him’ Queen”
Of course Vil is like 😏
Prince treats him like the Queen he knows he is and Vil is obsessed with the never ending attention
He reciprocates through giving him his full attention whenever he can
Even something as small as a peck on the cheek means everything to Prince
His Queen😳
With someone as low as a Prince😳
This cannot be possible😳
But oh it is possible and Vil makes sure he knows that
He loves his loyal lover to the stars and back and he makes sure it’s known by always keeping a hand around his waist
It’s less out of protection than it is possessiveness
But it makes Prince SWOON
Any person who dares argue his Queen’s beauty or strength he will fight
He sees this as saving his Queen’s time
If they can’t take him they have no privilege to even try with Vil
this sounds like sebek omfg
Bridal carrying Vil🥹
🎮Idia Shroud🎮
CRUSTY DISCORD MOD X ANCIENT GREEK HIMBO MY BELOVED
There’s just so much potential here my guys
Even more so if I went by real Ancient Greece that shit was crazy
But this is Disney so I won’t
Hercules knows NOTHING about half the crap that goes on in Twisted Wonderland
“We must sacrifice the finest cattle in honor of the gods””Lol cool let’s play minecraft””What craft is yours?”
I don’t think Idia would have a lot of social anxiety around him after a bit
He’s very knew to everything in Twisted Wonderland, he doesn’t know how society or technology works, he doesn’t know how to dress, etc. so for someone like Idia to take him under his wing he looks up to him as if he was almost a god (only in twisted wonderland ofc he don’t disrespect the pantheon like that)
When Idia tells him of the story of Hades Hercules casually drops the “Oh yeah I know, he’s my uncle”
“….Bitch say sike rn”
Tbh the interactions between your two worlds is very interesting in of itself
I mean it’s obvious twisted wonderland doesn’t have “gods”. Worshipped one’s absolutely but not in the way Earth does
And considering Greek Mythology is a very real thing on Earth but the concept of Hades at least exists in twst means that Greek Mythology exists there too
But they didn’t have ancient Greece
This shit confusing I’ll just stop the existentialism right there
If he tells Idia about his world and origins that’s kind of an existential bend for Idia lol
Like he’s learning that most of the things his dorm has/are involved in was specifically named after an assortment of stories in his partner’s world?
Mind. Blown.
But also we can’t forget the fact that lil ol Idia is deadass dating a DEMIGOD
I don’t think that concept exists in twst but when he explains he like “OOOO BOY😳”
A very muscular man who came through his mirror from a different dimension not only is related to one of the Great Seven but is also the son to a being that is essentially the ruler of their universe????
AND HE CHOSE HIM[Idia]?????
Hercules would use him as a weight while exercising and Idia has his switch out playin Animal Crossing or something
Any time Frisbee is played near them he’s actively shielding Idia
He can’t risk anything after what happened to his (technically) brother Apollo
If you know, you know
🐉Malleus Draconia🐉
This one would be so funny
I’m positive Phillip knows who Maleficent is and her role in his “one true love”’s story
But imagine his surprise when he’s like “The princess is sweet but the dragon fae that’s similar to the person who tried to curse her is kinda😳👀”
He’s a hero who lived long enough to be with the villain
Being from the 14th century he knows just as much about modern things as Malleus does
Meaning Phillip is very suited towards his courting style
Phillip practicing fencing with Sebek or Silver is a must
Phillip desperately wants to see Malleus’ dragon form
It’s not anything he hasn’t seen before and he likes the idea of literally flying into battle with his bf
Phillip knows much about history and arts so Lilia and him get on swell
I think he can play many classical instruments, so he likes to serenade Malleus with a violin or piano
He would most definitely create a rendition of “Once Upon A Dream” for him too
Being a 14th century person who was thrusted to a different dimension in the future, I think he’s really into theatre
Phillip brings Malleus to many plays
Phillip hears from friends Adeuce when dorm leader meetings are held which he relays to Malleus to ensure he’s not left out of important manners
Ballroom dancing together🥺

Babysitter
Tumblr media
masterlist
pairing: steve harrington x older fem!reader 
summary: steve has been babysitting your kids for quite some time now. he’s tried to stop and he knows it’s not right but over time, he’s developed feelings for you. even if you are technically still married.  
warnings: swearing, legal age gap (both individuals are of age), divorce, cheating, slight sexual tension, very short steamy moment, fluff with a sprinkle of angst 
word count: 2.5k
a/n: the steve fic that no one asked for but i wanted to make :) enjoy this ig? 
disclaimer: i don’t fully know how divorces work and the whole legal routes of things so forgive me if there are some mistakes please- 
(yes, your kids' names are arabella and alice. yes, they’re both inspired by songs. ‘arabella’ by arctic monkeys and ‘living next door to alice’ by smokie. i like them both so deal with it. but i also apologies if your name is eric or jennifer-)
— — — — — X — — — — — 
“steve?” you call from your room, giving yourself a last once-over. you’re about to leave for court, finally about to discuss who gets custody of your children. 
you get no response from the man in question and stand, ready to leave your room and get the show on the road. making your way downstairs, you hear your daughters, arabella and alice, squealing and giggling. 
entering the living room, you’re greeted by the sight of steve harrington, your long-time babysitter, pulling faces and chasing your girls all around the place. he makes a roaring sound as he scoops arabella up and tickles her, causing alice to screech and grab a pillow, rushing to rescue her twin. 
you smile at the sight of him and your kids, heart melting at their bond. 
as if he can feel your presence, steve turns around, eyes comically wide and your daughters follow suit. you frown playfully at them but your serious demeanour soon cracks as you burst out laughing at the 3. 
“anyone ever told you, you act like a kid, harrington?” you question as you walk further into the living room. “a few.” he says with a small laugh before his breath hitches slightly in his throat as he takes in your attire, the pantsuit you’re wearing complimenting all your features just right, causing his imagination to spiral. 
“where are you going, momma?” alice’s voice is small as she looks over your neat outfit. “i’m going out now. that’s why steve is here, sweetheart.” you kneel down so you’re her height. “out where?” arabella asks, her eyebrows furrowing. 
you sigh and look down, not sure how to approach the topic.
“you know how your dad hasn’t been around for a while now?” the two of them nod. “well, momma is going to go discuss a few things with him about it.” you explain carefully and they “ohh” and “ahh” at your words. it’s not a secret per say, but you've never told them exactly what's going on. 
you had tried to avoid the subject but you knew you’d have to tell them eventually. part of you knew that you didn't want to talk about it due to your own embarrassment, after all, how is someone supposed to get over the fact that their partner cheated on them with someone who’s barely an adult?
yes, that's right, your bastard of a husband, went and slept with his 20 year old intern. cliché right? well to make it more stereotypical, his intern also happened to be his friend's daughter but you weren’t going to get into that. 
the realisation when you saw a pair of underwear, which didn’t belong to you, under your bed was enough to make your blood boil. the anger and embarrassment being too much. you often suspected at times that he was cheating but you never had any proof so you decided to play it off.
you had quite literally kicked him out that night, screaming profanities at him and his mother while he blabbered about it being a mistake before slamming the door in his face.  
you were livid. you weren't one for disloyalty so the day after the incident, you called your lawyer and soon enough, the divorce was being set into place. 
now there you were, kneeling in front of your angels, telling them simply that their father wasn’t going to be around much longer. of course, you weren’t being completely honest with them. the court session was about custody over the kids but you didn’t want to worry them, choosing to rather hide some information for their sake.
looking at them, you can’t stop the tears forming in your eyes, worry clouding your mind. you pull them both in for a hug in an attempt to hide your expression but steve sees your pained look. 
you make eye contact with him and he mouths the words, “are you ok?” you smile sadly at him and release your girls from your embrace, telling them to go play in their room while you speak to steve. 
“but we wanna play!” alice pouts and arabella follows her actions soon after. “and you can. in your room. momma has some grown up things to tell steve.” you say with a smile. 
once the two are out of earshot you can’t help but fall onto the couch, eyes stinging once more. 
“hey, what’s the matter?” steve asks softly. you shake your head and look at him, a scared and defeated look on your face. “well my divorce papers are going well but there's still a possibility the girls will be split up or that i won’t get custody of either of them. i know it's unlikely, but still… it scares me.” 
“shit… i had no idea you and eric were splitting up.” 
‘lie.’ 
you thought. there was no way he didn’t know. he’s sure to have heard the countless fights and the cruel words you would mutter to your, soon to be ex, husband. 
“it’s nice of you to pretend to be oblivious but we both know you were aware of our relationship.” the smile on your face has no trace of humour. “i’m sorry…” is all he says. you scoff and shake your head. “no need to apologise. it was only a matter of time. hell, the only reason i married him was because the thought of me having children with a man i wasn’t married to was too ‘taboo’ for my parents.” you admit. 
steve sinks into the couch next to you, close enough for you to feel the warmth radiating from him. “don’t worry so much, ok? i’m sure things will work out… hopefully the court will see what a dick he is.” 
you laugh at his words, grateful for his company now more than ever. you turn and see him already looking at you but instead of him averting his eyes like he usually does when he’s caught looking at you, he keeps the eye contact. you stare back and silently admire him. his eyes, the ghost of a smile still on his lips, the way his hair frames his face, him. 
there was no denying that steve harrington was a gorgeous man, you’d always thought so. you had to stop yourself from making any moves or giving any signs of attraction, not only due to the couple year age gap and the fact you were technically his boss, but also because at the time and even now, you were still married by law and if you were to get caught, the amount of trouble it would cause is huge. 
you snap out of it when you see him inching closer. quickly averting your eyes, you look at your watch and see that if you didn’t hurry, you’d be late. 
“i should go… don’t have much time left.” you mumble as you get up, walking towards the door and grabbing your bag. steve coughs to cover his embarrassment and stands, following you. “yeah… i’ll see you later.” he awkwardly rubs the back of his neck as he watches you open the door and step out, shouting a, “bye darlings, i’ll be back soon!” and getting a, “see you!” in return. 
you laugh slightly and look at steve. “call me if anything happens, alright?” he nods, “of course. good luck.” 
the last image you see before driving off to the court house is steve standing in the doorway, alice and arabella on either side of him, all 3 waving.
the sight is enough to raise a lump in your throat, regretting not giving your girls a father like steve. 
— — — — — X — — — — — 
you grip the steering wheel tightly, blood boiling as you drive back to your house. the images surfacing in your mind coming and going with a vengeance. 
“y/n.” your teeth grit together at his voice. turning around you plaster a fake smile on your face even if you’re throwing up inside. 
there, in front of you, is eric and his new toy, jennifer. you cringe at their choice of attire; black leather makes up everything. “you realise this is a court, not a drug deal, right?” the venom in your voice is prominent and it causes a few eavesdroppers to glance at the 3 of you before muttering to each other. 
“well at least we know the meaning of fashion.” jennifer fires back and you mentally facepalm. “you have no idea how childish that sounds…” you mutter to yourself. “how about you leave the talking to the grown-ups, ok?” you mock a little bit louder. 
eric snickers and you look at him confused. “i almost forgot how much fire you have inside you.” 
his words send shivers down your back, and not the good kind. jennifer glares at him and then you, not knowing who to be mad at in that moment. 
“let’s just get this over already.” you spit out, hands curling into fists as annoyance and disgust creeps into your mind. 
soon enough you’re walking out, head high and a weight lifted from your shoulders. that is, until jennifer grabs your arm, forcing you to turn around. “what do you want?” you ask, boredom written on your face. “you think you’re so big, huh?” she glares. 
pulling your arm from her grasp, you scoff. “what are you going on about now?” “just because you got to keep your little brats, doesn’t mean you’re any better than us.” 
you laugh at the absurdity of her words. “i’m pretty sure it does make me better. besides, what do you care? it’s not like you ever wanted to be around them.” she laughs, “seems as if you’re forgetting that they’re not just your kids. they’re eric’s too. it’s pathetic how you got custody when he’s clearly more fit for the job.”
you were officially pissed. it’s not because your feelings were hurt, oh no, but it was the sheer delusion she had that you weren’t good enough to raise your kids. 
you glare at her and take a step closer, forcing her to take one back and look up at you due to the height difference. “listen here, say whatever the fuck you want about me but never, and i mean never, imply that i’m incapable of caring for my children.”
you see a flash of fear in her eyes but she quickly covers it with another short laugh. “you couldn’t even keep your husband and yet here you say that you’re able to look after them? that’s rich. we all know i was better for eric and i’d be better for the two bitches-”
a loud noise is heard as your hand collides with her face, the force so hard it turns her head completely. 
“say that again and i swear to god i’ll do worse than slap you. all you are is a bitch who hides behind empty promises and words, knowing that someone is bound to save you but look around, there’s no one here to save you now, is there?” you whisper menacingly. 
you look behind her and see eric staring at the two of you, cigarette in mouth and a disgusting smirk on his face. “i suggest you run back home, kid, before things get messy.” you hiss, head jerking towards the smirking asshole.  
you give both of them one last glare before climbing in your car and driving off. 
— — — — — X — — — — — 
you slam your car door closed and stalk up to the front door. before you’re able to unlock it, steve is already opening it with a smile. “hey! how did it go…?” he trails off slightly as you storm inside, throwing your bag on the floor and your coat on a chair. 
“good. i got custody of both the girls.” you say simply, jerking a few buttons of your shirt open as you try to cool down. steves eyes search the newly exposed skin but he quickly stops himself before he gets carried away. 
“what’s wrong then?” he asks and you sigh in annoyance and anger. “eric’s 'new love'," you start, sarcasm dripping from your words, "decided to, not only insult my ability to keep a man, but also my ability to properly care for my own kids.” you’re seething and turn to finally look at steve. 
you lock eyes again and an idea passes through your mind, a thought which you weren't able to stop in time. you aren’t sure if it’s the anger which pulses through your veins or if it’s the way he looks right then and there, but you find yourself quickly closing the distance and kissing him, giving in to your impulsions.
his eyes widen as your lips crash onto his but they soon close as he relaxes, almost immediately responding to your advances. your hands tangle in his hair and his do the same, roaming freely as your tongue forces its way into his mouth. just before things could go any further, a squeal reaches your ears. 
“i told you!”
you and steve quickly let go of each other and see alice and arabella at the bottom of the stairs. alice is smiling widely while arabella frowns, arms folded with an upset look on her face. 
“pay up!” alice says in a sing-song voice and you and steve watch in amusement and confusion as arabella pulls out a sweet from her pocket and hands it to her twin. “goddammit!” her voice is frustrated and steve can’t help but to burst out laughing at the serious exclamation of anger from her. 
“hey, hey, hey! language!” you scold. she looks at you and folds her arms, “you say worse.” “don’t sass me, little one. i’m an adult, you’re not.” you find yourself trying your hardest to not laugh at the way she’s standing. she's a total drama queen at heart.
alice and steve are dying with laughter at the interaction and you watch in awe as steve picks alice up to hide his face which is streaming with tears from laughing so much. 
soon enough you and arabella join in, the whole mock situation soon defusing. 
you pick arabella up and her and alice hold hands, forcing you and steve to stand close to each other as they whisper secrets to each other. 
you look at steve and smile. he blushes and speaks softly, “so are we going to talk about what happened…?” you make as if you’re thinking before saying, “nah.” his face falls and you laugh again before telling him that you’re joking. 
“we’ll discuss it later. either in here or in my room. all depends what sort of ‘discussion’ you want.” you smile cheekily at him. “how about we go from here to the discussion in your room?” he asks and you smirk at him. leaning closer you whisper, “sounds like a plan.” you gently place your lips on his and the children in your arms squeal again. 
“gross!” “don’t be rude bella!” “but it’s gross!” arabella defends herself. “no it’s not! they’re in love!” alice counters, hands cupping her face to add to the effect. her words make you and steve blush together. 
“so… is steve going to sleep on dad's side of the bed now?” alice asks innocently. 
“alice!” steve bursts out laughing at your shocked expression and you can't help but look at him lovingly. 
“tell you what. if your mom says i can be, then i will.” 
you stare at the 3 of them adoringly, nodding slightly as steve kisses you once more. 
you were bubbling with delight, knowing that your kids finally have a good father figure in their lives and that you might've found someone who loves you for you. someone who you definitely feel the same for.

My Magnus archives sells pitch (check the comments it has a much more coherent summary)
Why hello there my fellow bsd fans, listen to me as I tell you about the wonders of the Magnus archives while trying my best not to spoiler all of you. Do you want to have even more emotional damage, which I am sure you have plenty of after the latest chapter? Well come along for the ride as Alex and Jonny cheerfully remind us that this podcast is a tragedy. The Magnus archives is in fact a podcast, an amazingly crafted horror Podcast at that. The Magnus Archives is at first a anthology podcast, with our protagonist Jonathan Sims working at the Magnus Institute, a place dedicated to researching and archiving paranormal events as what they call statemants. Jonathan Sims or Jon as people often call him, is the new head archivist of the Magnus Institute, after the old one Gertrude Robinson died on the job. Jon is left to sort his way though an absolute mess of an archive, Jon however is not alone in this task as his assistants, Timothy Stoker and Sasha James, are there to help him, and Martin too i guess but he is barely any help. That is until an actual threat appears. Of course there are more characters then just our archival crew. The head of the Institute Elias bouchard is your classic asshole manager (even tho he isn't a manager), he really couldn't give a shit if his employees are in danger, but fine sasha i guess i will install more CO2 fire extinguishers and a CO2 fire system. Melanie King, the proprietor of the YouTube channel Ghost Hunt UK, anger issues if you want to know more you're gonna have to listen to the podcast. Basira Hussain and Alice ”Daisy” Tonner are both police officers, again if you want to know more listen to the podcast. Georgie Barker the host of the podcast What The Ghost, again listen to the podcast. If you want to be able to say, if I had a nickel every time I have been in a fandom where one of the villain characters have been a slavic clown with nikola in their name i would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it is weird that it happened twice, congrats you can now do that. Some of the tma characters are also named after horror writers. Tim stoker after Bram Stoker, Martin Blackwood after Algernon Blackwood, Elias Bouchard after J.W Bouchard, Melanie King after Stephan King, Eric Delano after Jamie Delano, Georgie Barker after Clive Barker, Sarah Carpenter after John Carpenter, Michael Shelley after Mary Shelley, and the Institute's American sister location the Usher Foundation is name after the short story The Fall of the house of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe. I am sure if you go looking you can find even more connections. So come along if you will, The Magnus Archives can be found on YouTube, Spotify, and anywhere you get your podcasts. Now i am just gonna tag as many characters as i can to send out the message and recommendation I am sorry about that. If you want a better coherent summary then go check the comments.

Letters From The Living | 5
── ⋅⋅⋅ ────꒰ ୨ ♡ ୧ ꒱───────
Series Masterlist
Summary: You've always loved journaling. It's a hobby you keep even after the world turns upside down.
Pairings: Daryl Dixon × Reader
Pronouns Used: None
Word Count: 1,504
Warnings: Death, typical twd stuff
A/N: Thank you to @stqrluvr for proofreading this!! Ily!!
Tumblr media
So… a lot to cover. A lot has happened. I haven’t been able to write in a while. Or maybe it hasn’t been that long and there was just a lot that happened, I dunno. Anyways, let’s start at the beginning. So.. after breaking everyone out of Terminus we met this pastor, Gabriel, and he took us to his church. He was sketchy as fuck. Daryl and Carol went scouting around the area and found a car like the one Beth took so they tracked it and then Daryl came back with some stranger instead of Carol.
 Carol was hit by a fucking car and was with Beth at some hospital. The stranger was a teenager named Noah who was also at the hospital. So the next day Rick, Tyreese, Sasha, Daryl, Noah, and I went to get Beth back. We were gonna kidnap two guards in exchange for Beth and Carol. Except one of ‘em escaped and then Rick killed him. We kidnapped another guard and did the trade but then the woman leading the hospital, Dawn, demanded Noah back too and we weren’t gonna let him go that easily so we refused. Then Beth stabbed her and she fired back and killed Beth. Then we left.
Daryl and Jenny are both extremely upset. Daryl is closing up, not talking to me. Jenny on the other hand won’t stop talking to me about everything but Beth. I’m at a loss. I dunno what to do. 
Also, while we were rescuing Beth and Carol, Maggie, Glenn, Carl, Jenny, Gabriel, Michonne, Tyreese, Abraham, Eugene, Tara, and Rosita (the last four came from a new group that we ran into) made their way to Atlanta too because the church was overrun.
The next day (Today), we went to Noah’s house to try and find his family alive. We didn’t and Tyreese was bit. We tried cutting his arm off like we did to Hershel’s leg but it didn’t work and we buried him a few hours ago. 
I don’t know how to feel. I’m overwhelmed. I’ll write to you again when I have something to tell you, but I need to think instead of writing right now. 
Carol, Jenny, Daryl, Gabriel, Rick, Carl, Judith, Maggie, Glenn, Michonne, Sasha, Noah, Eugene, Rosita, Abraham, Tara 
Big News!!!! We found a place to stay!!! Or.. it found us. It being Aaron. Maggie, Sasha, and I were sitting and talking yesterday morning when he approached us. We took him to Rick and one thing led to another and now I’m sitting in a bed writing in my journal in a house with electricity and warm water and really nice people. Okay well I don’t know if the people are nice but I think they are! Deanna (the leader), Aaron, and Eric, Aaron’s husband, are all very nice. Soooo, that’s gotta mean something. We all had to do an interview to get a place in Alexandria, but I didn’t mind. They taped it too, I looked crazy on camera. I could  barely recognize myself. Oh! Alexandria is the name of this place. I forgot to mention that. 
Jenny is sound asleep besides me, by the way. First time she’s slept since Beth died. She even took a shower earlier. 
Anyways, I’m excited to sleep on this bed sooo… gonna cut this short. Bye!!!!!
Same Survivors
I got a job. I’m the official record keeper of the town of Alexandria! I’m so excited. 
Also, Glenn got into a fight with the dudes who lead the supply runs. And then Daryl jumped in and helped and it was HOT. That man is mine, can you believe it? I can’t. He is FINE. 
Also, Jenny met this girl, Alice, and they’ve been hanging out all day. I’m glad she’s talking to people cause I was honestly scared that she was gonna shut everyone out here. I’m really happy she isn’t. I love her so much. 
Same Survivors
Rick, Carol, Daryl, and I found a walker with a W carved into its head. Weird right? Anyways, Rick doesn’t like it here. I get it, but I dunno, I’m liking it here. They threw us a welcome party. I didn’t go, though. I stayed with Daryl and we went to Aaron and Eric’s for dinner instead. And Aaron actually asked Daryl to start recruiting with him. I think he’s gonna do it but I don’t think I want him to. It scares me. Terrifies me in fact. He’s gonna be out there for a while and I’m not gonna know anything the entire time. I don’t think I’m comfortable with that, you know? But if this what’s gonna make him feel welcome in Alexandria, so be it. I want him to be happy. I really love him. I just worry so much. 
Also, we lost Noah. He was on a run with the other runners and the leaders were stupid and it cost Noah his life. It also cost Aiden, one of the run leaders, his life too. And another thing, Abraham is now the leader of the construction crew. 
Jenny has been hanging out with Alice a lot. Like a lotttt. Okay. Bye.
Carol, Jenny, Daryl, Tyreese, Gabriel, Rick, Carl, Judith, Maggie, Glenn, Michonne, Sasha, Eugene, Rosita, Abraham, Tara
So. Rick was almost exiled for beating up some abusive asshole. Except for at the town meeting, he showed up with a walker that got past the gates and the asshole, Pete, showed up drunk with Michonne’s katana. Pete tries to kill Rick but is stopped by Deanna’s husband. Pete slashed his throat and Deanna gave Rick the ok to kill him right there and then.
And!! While that was happening, Daryl got back from a recruit run with Aaron. They found another walker with a W in its forehead. They also found a huge herd of walkers and barely escaped with the help of Morgan Jones, an old friend of Rick’s. This man, Morgan, was the one who helped Rick after he woke up from his coma. Cool right? 
Anyways, work has been going fine. All I do is go over the interviews and make sure they’re all there. I also lend them to people when someone wants to watch one. It’s boring. Jenny is calling for me, got to go. Bye!
Same Survivors.

Tumblr media
“You’re coming to graduation right? It’s on a Friday so we weren’t sure…” Jessica asked you.
You and Jacob were eating lunch at Forks like usual.
“I’m sure school will let us take the day off for that.”
“Cool. You know…” Jess took a bite of her food. “I’m surprised Edward’s not sitting with you today.”
“We’re kind of on a bit of a break I guess,” you said awkwardly.
You knew the Cullens could hear you. You thought nothing but sweet, loving messages knowing Edward would be listening to your mind and not your mouth. Your table of friends looked at you in a surprised confusion.
“Really?” Tyler questioned. “Last thing I expected from you two was a break-up.”
“They’re on a break not broken up, there’s a difference,” Angela said.
Jessica nodded at Ang’s comment.
“Well I hope it’s not a long break. You two are cute together and the way he looks at you… find me a guy who looks at me like that.”
Jacob rolled his eyes and took this time to excuse himself to the bathroom not wanting to hear any more about Edward. Alice took the opportunity to approach your table.
“I’ve decided to throw a graduation party!” She chirped from behind your chair. “After all, how many times are we going to graduate high school.”
You, Bella, and Alice smiled at her words. The rest of your friends were completely oblivious. Jessica’s face lit up.
“A party at your place? I’ve never seen your house before.”
“No one has ever seen their house,” Eric said. “Party sounds great. I’m in.”
“Perfect.” Alice clapped her hands on your shoulders.
You felt something rough slide down the back of your shirt before she walked away. Pretending to scratch at an itch, you pulled the piece of paper out and unfolded it underneath the table. The handwriting was Edward’s: right after the ceremony, stay behind in the gym.
~~
As much as you loved Jessica, you didn’t listen to a word of her valedictorian speech. You clapped when everyone else clapped and waved to each of your friends as they received their diplomas. You stood with Charlie and Jacob waiting for Bella to come see you once the actual graduation was over.
“I’m going to the restroom before we go to the diner,” you said.
“Okay, (Y/N/N). Come on Jake, I want to take pictures with everyone outside.”
Bella helped you out. She pulled your brother, you couldn’t refuse her, outside while you disappeared into the crowd. Jacob reminding you to meet by his car, you were all going to pile in and head to the diner in one vehicle.
Slowly, everyone made their way outside for pictures and to talk. You and Edward sat underneath the pulled out bleachers. You rested your head on his shoulder as he held one of your hands in his. His other played with your hair as the two of you enjoyed the silence.
“I didn’t think you’d be able to see me. Sam’s orders—”
“Can’t be obeyed by Jacob and I for very long. He thought he wouldn’t have to with Jacob here, Sam’s an idiot.”
“He’s the Alpha.”
“I thought you knew about the tribe? My lineage.”
“You and Jacob are Ephraim Black’s great-grandchildren, chief of the Quileutes making Billy the most respected elder in La Push.”
“So you do know, you’re just slow.”
“Then enlighten me.”
“Ephraim Black. Last known shifter until Sam. Chief and True Alpha. It’s in our blood. Sam’s in my position and when I refused it should’ve been Jake’s. Neither of us wanted to be in a pack, let alone lead it. Sam’s Alpha by default but it’s mine by birthright. You can never truly command a True Alpha.”
You lifted your head to look at Edward. “Maybe I should’ve taken the position. I wouldn’t have to hide with you now.”
“You would’ve hated it. I can already see the conflict in your head.”
“But I could’ve commanded them to let us be. An Alpha and I could command anyone for anything.”
“What would you command me to do?” Edward smirked as he watched your eyes flit from his eyes to his lips.
“Kiss me.”
Edward kissed your temple and cheek before he made his way to your mouth. You shivered hard under his touch, it had been a while since you felt the cold skin against yours.
“Jacob’s looking for you. He’s coming down the hallway.” Edward pulled away.
“This is shit,” you muttered as you dropped your forehead onto his shoulder. .
“It’s not your fault. It’s no one’s fault, at least we had right now.”
“I’ll see you tonight, okay?”
~~
Going over to the Cullens’ house for a graduation party wasn’t nearly as fun as it should’ve been. Of course Jacob was allowed over as Bella’s boyfriend. Unfortunately he brought along Quil and Embry, your famous protector. You weren’t let out of their sight.
The only people you could actually talk to were the humans. You managed to sneak a smile at any Cullen that passed by. You saw Alice on the stairs looking at nothing. Embry put his arm out to block you.
“Unless you want her to expose what they are in front of everyone, you’ll let me go,” you said quietly.
Embry and Quil let you go to her.
“Alice?” you raced over to her, Bella followed behind you. “What did you see?”
“The decision’s been made.”
“What’s going on?” Jacob asked.
You guys waited till all the party guests had left to hold a little meeting on the back porch.
“So we’re not going to Seattle?” Emmett asked.
“No, they’re coming here, soon. We have two weeks, if we’re lucky.”
“This could turn into a bloodbath,” Carlisle said. “Alice, can you see who’s behind it?”
“I don’t think I recognize anyone… wait one, Riley Biers.”
“That’s the first boy that went missing in Seattle. Charlie’s been working on that case for a while now,” Bella said.
“They must be playing with the blind spots in your vision,” Edward told Alice. “Either way the army is coming and there aren’t enough of us to protect the town.”
“Hold up. What damn army?” Jacob asked.
“It’s not just a rogue vampire. Newborns, our kind,” Carlisle explained.
“What are they after?” Embry asked from beside Jacob.
“They were passing around Bella’s sweater,” Alice recounted her vision.
“And what does that mean for us?”
“An ugly fight. Lives lost,” Carlisle said.
Jacob turned to look at you, Quil, and Embry; you all nodded. “Alright, we’re in.”
“What? No, you’ll get yourself killed, no way,” Bella protested.
“We weren’t exactly asking for your permission, Bells. It’s our job, babe.”
“Jacob, do you believe Sam would agree to an understanding?” Carlisle asked him. Jacob contemplated but nodded slowly.
“And the others?”
“As long as we get to kill some vampires,” Jacob responded.
“Jasper?” Carlisle turned to his youngest son.
“They’ll give us the numbers, the newborns won’t know they even exist. It’ll give us an edge.”
Edward reached for you as you guys were leaving. Both Embry and Jacob blocked him before he could even touch you.
~~
The wolves were ready to start training as soon as possible. Everyone agreed to meet in the woods on the Cullens’ side of the treaty line. Your pack snarled and grumbled as they walked to wherever the Cullens said to meet. They could see the little bundles of your clothes left around the woods. You finally reached the clearing.
“They don’t trust us enough to be in human form,” Edward said, reading Sam’s mind.
“They came. That’s what matters,” Carlisle said. “Edward, can you translate what they’re thinking?”
Edward nodded and Carlisle turned to face the pack.
“Welcome. Jasper has a good amount of experience with newborns. He’ll be able to teach us how to defeat them.”
“They want to know how the newborns are different from us,” Edward translated.
“They’re a great deal stronger than us because their own human blood lingers in their tissues. Our kind is never more physically powerful than in our first seven months of this life,” Carlisle said.
Jasper stepped up to explain more.
“Carlisle’s right. That’s why they’re created. A newborn army doesn’t need thousands like a human army, but no human army can stand against them. Now the two most important things to remember are first: never let them get their arms around you, they’ll crush you instantly. And second: never go for the obvious kill, they will be expecting that and you will lose… Emmett, you’re first.”
Everyone backed up to give Jasper and Emmett room to spar.
“Don’t hold back, Emmett.”
“Not in my nature.”
Emmett ran fast at Jasper. Jasper braced himself as Emmett threw him in the air and he hit the ground. Jasper sprung up quickly. Emmett attempted to throw a punch but he missed and fell to the floor as Jasper’s fist collided with his stomach. Jasper and Emmett sparred a bit more before Jasper called Carlisle and Edward to spar.
You watched as they both ran and grabbed each other’s necks. Carlisle threw Edward but missed his next hit. Edward pushed Carlisle down to the ground. Edward stepped a little bit away, looking to Jasper to see if he did a good job.
“One more thing,” Jasper said, “Never turn your back on your enemy.”
Jasper rolled his eyes as Carlisle got up and pushed Edward to the floor. You couldn’t help but let your thoughts about Edward come to the surface as you watched him spar. The pack growled at you causing everyone to pay attention.
“What’s going on?” Rosalie asked.
“I’m fine, (Y/N),” Edward answered you instead of Rosalie.
Training continued and you kept your thoughts in check. For the most part you stayed focused on Jasper and the training, occasionally looking at Edward who always smiled when he caught you looking.
(Part 15)...

What would be Bella’s/cullens’ reaction if Victoria turned Angela, Ben, Jessica, Mike, Tyler, Lauren, Eric for her new born army? Would the cullens hesitate? Would Bella feel sad?
Well, I don't think Victoria would choose Bella's friends.
She went out of her way to keep the newborn army hidden. She selected Riley as the face of the operation, made him the only leader the newborns ever knew and the decision-maker who'd circumvent Alice. She chose Seattle, the nearest city that would be large enough that people wouldn't notice right away that people going missing or bodies turning up. All the while, she was regularly running around Forks, keeping the Cullens and the wolves on their toes.
Not that she was being Miss Cautious about this whole thing, that newborn army was out of control and she doesn't come across as having been in a good place mentally at all during this whole thing, but she did take steps to disguise her objective.
But, let's say Victoria goes for it anyway.
The Cullens wouldn't hesitate. The humans in Forks are no more to them than the humans in Seattle were. Edward would be the exception, he developed a mild fondness for Angela and Ben and a petty dislike for Mike, but he wasn't present for the battle so I imagine he simply mourns for their humanity that was lost, and moves on with his life.
I think, too him, the most arresting part would be that this would be one more nail in the coffin of Bella's human life. Her human world that he wanted her to remain in is no longer a human world, Victoria has taken that from her. That, I think, as well as the pain this causes Bella, would piss him off and in turn have him blaming himself.
Bella, I think, has a real moment of 'Nam gaze as she realizes that her boyfriend is immortal, her boyfriend's family is immortal, her best friend is immortal, and now her classmates are immortal too. Everyone gets to be immortal and have superpowers except for Bella Swan. What the actual hell.
Moment after she feels guilty for thinking that, and she then feels... bad, but not bad beyond "Well this sucks."
She still tries to insist the Cullens shouldn't kill her old friends, surely if they talk to them and explain they'll calm down. Okay, so maybe Lauren is a lost cause, but surely they'd get through to Angela, or to Mike? Ben?
I don't think she would understand that the Cullens don't have the resources to save her classmates.
The Cullens end up promising they'll try to talk to them (that is, Carlisle will stand on a big rock and yell "We can work this out, guys!" while Jasper stands ready to pull him down), knowing that this will most likely fail. Bella realizes as much, and comes up with a plan to save everyone. The plan is to put blood in a fire hose and spray the newborns with it so they're too distracted to fight, and the Cullens can dismember then piece them together one by one.
Jasper tries to point out this will at best mean the Cullens now have a newborn army of their own, Bella is adamant. The Denali can take a few!
Bella is less adamant when it is pointed out to her that the Cullens won't be able to turn her for several years, they'll be busy with their fuckton of newborns.
How about just Angela live, then? Angela is nice. She'll be a vegetarian, Bella is sure.
The Cullens try not to wonder about why Bella changed her mind just now about saving the lives all of her friends.
The fire hose plan ends up being carried out anyway, they have nothing to lose and Emmett already stole the blood.
Jane arrives to a clearing that looks like the set of "Carrie", newborns divided into neat sections of limbs, torso, and head with Bella avoiding eye contact with those heads, and the Cullens looking distinctly sheepish. Jane promptly has all of them burned, and the Cullens can't even say anything because... yes.

Fallen Angel
Tumblr media
Director Otto Preminger Stars Alice Faye, Dana Andrews, Linda Darnell USA 1946 Language English 1hr 38mins Black & white 
Well-textured small-town noir
It’s late night on a long-distance bus up the California coast. In a nowhere town called Walton, the driver bounces a passenger who doesn’t have the fare to get to San Francisco but was hoping to stay unnoticed. 
Tumblr media
This is Eric (Dana Andrews), and it’s soon clear he’s a grifter. He fetches up at a small diner where the owner and the regulars are worried about the waitress, who has gone missing. When she does turn up, it seems that their concern isn’t purely innocent as Stella (Linda Darnell) is, as they used to say, a knockout and a little too much for Walton. Eric falls just as hard as the rest. Pretty soon he’s trying to figure out out how to hustle up enough cash to make him a serious contender for her attention…
Tumblr media
And that’s as far as I want to describe the plot, even though we haven’t yet introduced top-billed Alice Faye, who plays June. 
While there is one ingredient in the story that felt obvious pretty early, the rest surprised me. As I have written before, there’s a game you can play with classic film noirs of guessing what – considering the production code – they will let the characters get away with. This one had me stumped. 
The year before, Andrews had starred in Laura, a great film directed, like this one, by Otto Preminger. In Laura, he plays a tough detective investigating a murder in fashionable society, sometimes feeling he’s bossing these fops around, at others a bit out of his depth. 
Tumblr media
Fallen Angel has him in a very different situation, as a man with no power living on his wits. I never think, ‘Ah, I’m looking forward to seeing what Dana Andrews does in this movie’, but he was the male lead in a bunch of excellent noirs. He looked like he could take a punch, land a punch and has a rough charm. He’s clearly not on a level with Bogart or Robert Mitchum or Robert Ryan, but I guess he fits alongside Alan Ladd and above, say, Victor Mature. Preminger certainly seems to have valued him – this is one of four they made together but he’s also in Fritz Lang, Elia Kazan and Howard Hawks movies.
One thing I found interesting here is the portrayal of the travelling psychic who Eric teams up with briefly. The movies, by and large, want to believe in the supernatural (and magic, and aliens). But here the ‘psychic’, in the manly safe space of the diner, is happy to discuss the tools of the con. 
Tumblr media
Fallen Angel is a film that deftly uses elements that could in other hands be clanging: the contrast between seedy waterfront and prissy suburbs (and the women from these places), the sense that the big city is geographically so near yet still unreachable…
I like a lot of the films Preminger made in the 1950s and ‘60s, but they got very, very, very long. Under the constraints of the ‘40s, he showed he could tell a full story in an admirable 100 minutes. And that’s a great thing.

To summarise:
… the Ultimate Battle between Good and Evil is still pending.
Cheryl and Heather drink tea and talk magic. Heather’s mother, says Heather, died in a tragic accident. Cheryl, who only knows of people dying in tragic crimes, finds this gothic. Cheryl also thinks that gaslighting Toni was part of a “beautiful and nurturing” relationship, so we’ll let this one go.
Because of her pyrokinetic powers, Cheryl is now hot, which also makes her thirsty: she uses turning Thornhill into a private library as an excuse to see librarian Heather again. Cheryl Bombshell, you’re not fooling anyone: we all know Thornhill’s books burned to a crisp alongside the mansion back in s1 …
In spite of her best efforts, Tabitha could not declare Pop’s a historic landmark. It turns out that Dwight Eisenhower eating burgers at your Diner isn’t enough. She informs Pop and Jughead, who -in this episode- is back at bussing tables.
Tumblr media
Remember how Betty couldn’t even talk to her therapist about her trauma? Well, now she’s suddenly unblocked and ready to tell her life’s story to everyone and anyone who will listen except her boyfriend. In today’s episode this means Agent Gillian Drake. If it weren’t for marital communications privilege, Alice would be behind bars now. Yikes!
Agent Drake sees Betty’s lament over her disturbing inheritance as the opening she needs to casually glean if her colleague has a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Agent Drake is also thirsty. And suspiciously ok with all the Darkness™.
Bingo makes an appearance, because Bingo -unlike Toffee- is Archie’s pet and has special privileges. And powers! Don’t forget about that!
Betty has been spending so much time with Archie that she, too, is becoming denser. Thankfully, Agent Drake’s here to suggest it’s time to get away from Alice.
Betty asks Archie if she can move in with him. Sure, why not, take your time, says the man who was previously ready to have a child with her. The level of romance is killing me. Will Betty stay at Eric’s room or will it be Jug’s garage abode? There are just so many options in the Andrews Motel for Lost Souls.
Janet from Social Services points out that the fact that Tangs are gangbangers who have both(?!) criminal records is working against them in the custody battle for Baby Anthony. “How about the fact that I’m a school guidance counselor?”, asks Toni. “How about the fact that you shouldn’t have been hired in the first place then?” ask the viewers.
Tabitha has a plan to save the Diner that she immediately shares with her boyfriend Archie: breaking Pop’s down and transporting the Diner brick-by-brick to store it in a new safe location. Tabitha has also been spending too much time with Archie: she, too, is becoming denser. Has she traveled 1.384 times in the future, before she came up with this groundbreaking idea?
Also: just how much money does Tabitha have in order to afford this?!
Guess who’s back! Back again! Writer’s block! Tell a friend! Jughead is working at the Diner teaching at RHS running the school paper sitting at home trying to find his writing mojo that he lost sometime in between this episode and the previous one, when Veronica calls him for the first time ever in the history of this show.
She proposes a mentalist gig at the Babylonium. Jughead, who is not a mentalist but who can, on occasion, be quite mental, agrees. He has, after all, learnt he’s about to die, and performing at a Casino is totally on his bucket list.
#sinner_cats_of_riverdale. The Blooper twins are back from the attic and they have a cat now, named Butterscotch. Where’s Toffee, bitch?
Dagwood has a red aura. Or maybe it’s just his hair looking extra red. Betty dispatches Butterscotch to the cat shelter for their own protection.
Emboldened by Agent’s Drake speech on pyrokinesis back in 6x10, Betty confides in her about her ability to see auras. Jillian, who must really want to get into Betty’s pants, readily accepts the fringe science stuff.
Some miles not far away, at Thornhill, Cheryl also tries to impress Heather with her knowledge of the occult.
Dr Curdle Jr, always at the ready to make some extra cash lest he ends up at the Andrews Motel for Lost Souls as well, tests the Blooper Twins for the serial killer gene. Juniper has it but Dagwood doesn’t. (Chromosome) X marks the spot, I guess, still this is not how biological inheritance works. 
Percival and uncle Frank visit the Diner to confront the Andrews Construction Team and offer them higher, ununionised payment.
You know Archie’s team is unionised, because they all wear matching plaid shirts.
Tumblr media
 “We are all long-term union members”, says Archie to uncle Frank. “Like you used to be. Like my dad fought for”. Archiekins, you were so ununionised like just a couple of episodes ago, by your own admission no less, and your dad was hiring sophomore high-schoolers back in s1.
Fangs, who has legal fees to pay, decides to join Percival for the money: since the train station isn’t going to be built for some days, I’ll just assume he has no job till then.
Correction: he receives a signing bonus. That he spends on those legal fees a new car. You’re as fickle as your ex, Fangs. #Kangs_foreshadowing
Veronica cuts her musical number short to present the Seer of the Southside, Forsythe the Fantastic. Jughead hasn’t even started yet, and he’s already performing miracles! If only Samm Pansky could see him now! I have no idea how Jughead can have writer’s block with all the crazy that’s been happening.
The truck that houses all of Pop’s except the promised dismantled bricks, conveniently parked just outside the Diner, is found empty the next day but for a sign reading “no smoking”. Like Vortigern’s fortress -but in reverse- Pop’s seems to be rebuilt every night. Maybe someone should stay and guard the truck? No? No.
While Archie & co (minus Fangs) re-disassemble Pop’s, Tabitha deals with Percival i.e breaks a vase.
Sam the constructor guy tries to move Pop’s jukebox and gets electrocuted. In any other show this would have been attributed to Sam not unplugging the jukebox beforehand. In Riverdale it’s ghosts. Alrighty then.
Pop admits that people have died at the Diner. First it’s aliens now it’s dead people ... What the hell was happening in the Diner during the 70s, Pop?
Jughead advertises his Casino act on the front page of his (school) paper. What a flex! Just call him the He-Wolf of Riverdale. Did he give his students discount tickets though?
“You are so unburdened by intelligence”, says Ronnie to the man she had previously chosen as her life and business partner. This is not the serve you think it is, Veronica …
Reggie attempts to blackmail Veronica for a cut of Forsythe the Fantastic’s profits. Veronica asks Jughead to wipe the memory of her ordering a hit on Hiram from Reggie’s mind. Jughead must be impressed by Veronica disposing of the man who once tried to kill him, because he promises to look into it.
He finds a some books on the subject of mind-reading. What is more surprising than the number of books he finds, is the where: didn’t Percival close down the Library??
Drink up! Fred is named-dropped.
Tabitha swings by Pop’s, where she finds everything back in place for the second time in a row and then some: there are four ghosts at the Diner!
Cheryl, Heather and Tabitha call upon them: Mona Mitchell and Gilda Snide, Marcus Lee and Jenny Bride, they cross over The Divide. Only in Riverdale do ghosts names rhyme.
Tumblr media
OMG! Is Gilda, the server who had the accident with the deep fryer in the Vale?! Hiiiii!!!
The ghosts are bound to Pop’s in order to bear witness to the Ultimate Battle. Which cannot happen without said witnesses. Which could be the solution to everything? No? Ok.
The ghosts disclose that they are vulnerable to the Ghost Train. Not to be confused with the Soul Train.
Tumblr media
Therefore, Pop’s must be rebuilt quickly somewhere else.
This is all starting to make sense, says Tabitha. Is it? asks Cheryl speaking for all of us. Why, Tabitha, why? I was rooting for you …
Betty removes the Blooper twins from the Cooper house/Alice’s guardianship. They’re probably now at the cat shelter too. 
It’s that time of the season where Alice accuses Betty of being a bad person, only this time with special visual effects (i.e. a red aura).
Archie agrees for El Royale to temporarily house the Diner, land-use policies be damned, so that Pop’s continuum wont be broken! Does this mean that Tabitha can time-travel only from El Royale now?
Why is El Royale untouchable for Percival though? Could this be Hiram’s legacy? Daddykins Lodge! The man! The legend! Creator of universes! Destroyer of Eldritch Evil! #Hiram_is_forever
In which, Fred might not be Achie’s tether but he’s uncle Frank’s! Aaaaawww!
Jughead performs some telepathic erasure on Reggie. They don’t hold hands, which is very sad and also very homophobic of them.
The ghosts, much like myself, cannot stand a third scene of dismantling the Diner and decide to do it off-screen.
Shoot! Uncle Frank’s tether proves as weak as Archie’s: he intends to double cross Pop’s gang but Betty and her trusted sunglasses are there to detect his aura and warn Archibald the Pureheart.
Pop Tate did not come back all the way from Florida for this … “I can’t believe what you’ve done” he exclaims when he sees El Diner. Me neither, Pop. Me neither.
Ever since those maple tree groves burned, everything has gone to the dogs really ...
In order to win the custody case against the person who has no claim over Baby Anthony, Toni proposes marriage to Fangs but lies about the reason. #Adult_stories
Betty sees herself surrounded by a red aura … Shouldn’t have left Toffee alone in DC, Betty.
Neither have we learned anything new about Betty’s power nor did Agent Drake score. This has been a complete waste of my time.  
It’s the end of the episode and Archie has yet to sacrifice himself in the name of Fred or take his shirt off. This is a travesty.
Toffee wasn’t able to do much during this episode: she was getting tested for the serial killer gene in preparation of Riverdale’s Serial Killer Convention, where she will be managing the Sinner Cats of Riverdale booth.

Temptation Pt12
Trigger Warning! Mentions of abuse and sexual assault/rape at the beginning- doesn't go into detail
Bella's safe, she spent a few nights in hospital, but is now home with a cast on her broken leg. Carlisle had told her parents that she fell down a flight of stairs and through a window. Now it's time for the prom. Alice and I are helping Bella get ready for the prom. I'm doing her hair and Alice is doing her makeup
"Kat?"
"Hmm" I hum in response
"Why weren't you bothered with the blood?" Bella asks looking at me
"I guess I never really told you my story did I. Well, it's kinda hard for me to talk about, but I have never been bothered with blood really. I'd much rather eat food, maybe if I had both I wouldn't have to eat as much, but it doesn't bother me. I would much rather eat a rare steak, but as you know my family aren't the best cooks"
"Hey" Alice nudges me
"But we get by, Carlisle will buy me raw meat, which I'm not overly keen on, but it really helps me build my strength up"
"How did you turn?"
"She hasn't even told us the whole story. Just that she was dying and a vampier bit her"
"Carlisle?" Bella ask looking at me through the mirror. Sadly I shake my head
"No, James" I reply "1930 my pack here in Forks was attacked by another, everyone either fled or died. The leader of the enemy pack had lost his mate, the one he imprinted on, so he wanted someone younger, me. I lived with them for 2 years enduring everything from beatings to sexual assault. One day I found out I was pregnant and I managed to escape" I look up from brushing Bella's hair to her face in the mirror, even Alice had stopped doing Bella's makeup to look at me "months went by and I managed to hunt and live on my own, but things got hard when I was due to give birth, I wasn't able to move as quick. Then one night when a storm had blew in, I went into labour. I guess I was never caught because I don't give off a sent, but when I started to bleed I was found. That night I gave birth to a baby girl" I smile remembering my babies blue eyes. My face quickly changes "they thought I was dead. Thats when I heard fighting, wolves fighting. Eventually it was over, but I was lying in a wood, bleeding to death. I was praying that my body could heal it's self, and it was just slowly. A vampier came, James, took one bite of me then let go. Another vampire came, who I later learned was Carlisle. He saved me, but I refused to go with him because I was half wolf"
"I'm so sorry"
"Things go better eventually"
"So how did you meet the Cullens then if you didn't leave with Carlisle?" I look at Alice who smiles
"I stayed in Forks for a bit, kept an eye on my daughter, her name was Judith. It turns out that the enemy pack was run out of town. I thought it would be better though if I left so I moved to Tenasee where I saw Emmett for the first time. We didn't meet till many years later of course. I went back to Forks, lived on my own for so many years in the shadows watching my daughter grow, fall in love, get married and in 1955 she gave birth to a baby boy Billy Black" Bella and Alice both gasp "I stayed watching over them for another 5 years, before I started to get lonely. Knowing they would both be safe in the pack I left, fled to Alaska of all places. Then my first day of school I met Edward and Alice". We finish helping get Bella ready and jump out of the window running back to our house so we can get ready ourselves.
At the prom Emmett and I walk along the red carpet and have our photo taken, Alice and Jasper are behind us. We go over to the the drinks table
"Is there food?" I ask taking a cup, Emmett smiles shaking his head
"Come on lets go dance" I drink my drink and taken Emmett's hand as we walk over to the dance floor
"All right, slowing it down" Eric says as the upbeat music turns into a slow song. Emmett wraps his arms around my waist as I wrap mine around his neck. I place my head on his shoulder
"I'm so glad Edward decided not to kill you that first day of school
"As am I" I chuckled "Emmett"
"Hmmm" he hums into my hair
"I want to tell you and the others about what happened, how I became, this"
"You don't have to tell us anything"
"I'm guessing Edward probably already knows, due to the mind reading thing, but I told Alice and Bella tonight. I'm ready to tell you" I look up into Emmett''s eyes
"Later, lets enjoy now" I nod my head before placing it back on Emmett's shoulders "I love you"
"I love you too"

Chapter One First Sight Part One -Bella
Bella’s “friends” all have different names than there Twilight counterparts because she’s in grade 12 not 11 but they still act the exact same way.
Niki Ford - Jesica Stanley
Geraldine (Geri) Wright - Angela Weber
Tristan Reid - Mike Newton
Jose - Eric Yorkie
Eliot (Eli) Chang -Tyler Crowley
See end for more notes-
I shiver, the cafeteria is freezing this January. It was my idea to join the population of Forks High School for the new year and I’m sitting in a cafeteria with people I don’t really know. Their eys drill holes all over my body, cutting me out like a slice of swiss cheese. They’re all staring at me, I feel sick and try to find a place to look where I won’t meet a pair of curious eyes, after a good bit of searching I find them.
Five beautiful high schoolers. Yes, I say beautiful high schoolers and, no, I don’t  think it’s  possible either, but they are beautiful, strikingly, inhumanely, devastatingly, beautiful.
There they sit, not talking not eating, staring at the wall but seeing nothing. They are pale with angular features, almost black dark eyes with circles under them, a bronze-haired boy with a petit pixie like girl sitting in his lap; a big burly boy with dark curly hair who looks old enough to be in college, or maybe even a teacher; two blonds, a girl and a boy, the girl who clung to the burly boy is a familiar face from my Trig and Spanish class. The boy, now that I think about it, I had also seen, sitting in the back of the Biology room quietly drawing on a sketch pad. I hadn’t even noticed him there.
They are all inhumanly beautiful but that isn’t what holds my attention. While they all look different, they all have the same perfect pale angular features and pure black eyes. it’s safe to stare at them. For once I’m staring at someone, then I feel bad, I can’t do that it’s rude espcially given how much I hate it when they do it to me. They are the only ones not staring at me, the new girl, the curiosity, the freak.
Their lips are moving and I can swear they are talking to each other but I can’t  hear a thing.
I want to respect their privacy but they, sitting at their table in the back, are outsiders like me and finally my curiosity gets the better of me, pushing me forward into conversation.
“Hey, Niki!” I say tuning back into the conversation. She seems surprised at my sudden alertness.
“Yeah?”
“Who are they?” I thought maybe I should clarify who I meant but she is already glancing over to their table.
“Well, they’re Dr. & Mrs. Cullen’s kids. Mrs. Cullen is the orchestra teacher. They kinda keep to themselves. The redhead is Edward. He’s absolutely gorgeous, but he’s with the little one, Alice,” she informs me with jealousy.
“Are they all Cullens? They don’t look related,” I say hesitantly, hating to pry but really curious.
“Oh, no, some of them are foster kids. Dr. Cullen and his wife are in their late forties or something, but they adopted because Mrs. Cullen can’t have kids anymore or something. Those two, Rosalie and Jasper, are actually Cullens, but for some reason they have Mrs. Cullen’s maiden name. The rest are adopted,” Niki explained, pointing to the twins in turn.
“She’s pretty. He's . . . weird,” she says, keeping it brief, as if she doesn't  really care for much about the twins. Her obsession is obviously with Edward.  She turns to briefly ogle him again and I wondered about her hesitation before.
She continues, “and the big one is Emmet. He’s with Rosalie—like with with. They’re like a thing. They’re all dating even though they live together. I'm not even sure that’s legal.”
“Niki, they’re not actually related,” someone to my left reminded her gently.
“Well legally . . . Whatever, it’s weird. Dr. Cullen is like this foster dad slash matchmaker,” Niki offers.
“Maybe he’ll adopt me too,” A blond girl I don’t  know pipes up hopefully.
“They’re all hot! I bet Dr. Cullen does plastic surgery on them,” Niki whispers.
They way these kids gossip, when they think the Cullens can’t hear! I know they can’t be oblivious, but how much do they know and how much do they care? High school is hard enough without being treated like an exotic animal, an anomaly. I suddenly feel intense sympathy for them and then empathy.  They, at their table in the back like me, are outsiders
Feeling bad for the Cullens and curious myself, I try to steer the conversation back to a nicer topic. “Well I think that it’s nice of Mr. and Mrs. Cullen to take care of all the kids. Have they always lived here?” I ask. Surely I would’ve noticed them during one of my summer visits, especially the tall blond boy and his striking sister.
“No,” Niki says. “They moved here from up north somewhere … Alaska I think, about 2 years ago.”
I turned to look at the girl. Rosalie, Niki says her name is, and she is right.  She is pretty,  not just pretty, stunning, glamorous, like something out of a magazine. Not just that but she is the kind of pretty that makes everyone in the room feel a little less than and she is staring, or should I say glowering, right at me.
Her boyfriend, the big burly one, Emmett, grabs her arm and pulls her in for a long kiss. I stopped watching them then and turn my eyes to her brother, Jasper.
He is beautiful too, as all of them are, but even sitting down I can tell he is taller than most of the others, except for maybe Emmet. Leaner, but still muscular, and honey blond. His hair is slightly longer than that of his brothers, those honey blond locks coming to a stop just below his chin. He is also looking away from his siblings’ make out session, his face in a book. The title is written in Latin as far as I can tell. He has a soothing aura and by just looking at him I feel a strange calm wash over me.
He is staring intensely at the book as if it held all the answers to life, or somehow like he is desperately trying not to look up. I shove the thought aside.
He must  know somehow that I’m looking at him because he looks up from his book and right at me. His expression is neutral as he studies me for a Moment and I can’t look away. Then he turns back to his book as if nothing had ever happened.
I try to go back to my lunch but everyone is talking over one another and Tristan keeps up a constant string of questions about my life in Arizona. The only one I’m able to find solace in is a shy girl to my left, Geri, the one who’d reminded Niki that the Cullens aren’t technically related. She is in my Biology class, never saying much, but usually having the answer if a teacher calls on her.
I try not to think about the Hales and focus on my conversation with Geri about the new U.S History elective. I got A’s but it has always been somewhat boring to me. We chatted more about the teachers and she told me she had two little brothers named Trip and Tanner and a dog named Lucy.
“Here let me show you, I think I have a picture from last Christmas in my wallet,” Geri says and I scoot to let her dig through her bag. She pulls out a picture of 9 people and a golden retriever all wearing ugly Christmas jumpers. “Ah! Here it’s . Those are my parents.  Off to the side are Nana and Grandpa, my Mom's parents. There are Grandad and Mimi, my dad’s parents,. Aaaaand that’s me. The one to my left is Trip and the one to my right is Tanner. That's Lucy. She's still just a puppy. We got her for the twins' birthday in September.”
I don’t look at the Cullens or Hales until I see them leaving the cafeteria disposing of, with utmost grace, five trays of untouched food. I allow myself to look at Jasper again, but he doesn't  look at me. In fact, I sware he is trying to look anywhere but at me, but I tell myself that it’s  obviously my imagination.
The bell rings dismissing me to my next class. It crosses my mind that maybe I should skip. I do hate it here after all and I’m still thinking about it as I walk slowly to my locker.
Finally I make my way to building 6 for History, glad I studied the map. When I enter, I see the class is set up like a college classroom with half rings of desks lining the room and a rotating white board in the front. Despite my map memorization, I’m one of the last in class and all the seats have already been assigned so I stumble toward a seat in the very back.
To my absolute horror I catch my foot on the leg of a desk. I’m falling for barely a second before a pair of cold hands catch me, steadies me then vanishes. I don’t  even see who they belong to. Grateful, I slide into the nearest empty seat.
I quickly lug my heavy history textbook out of my bag, opening it to the page number written on the board. It's a few seconds before I looks up to see who my table mate is and when I do I find myself staring straight at Jasper Hale.
I can feel my face heating up, the blush spreading from my cheeks down my neck and up to the tips of my ears, despite the fact that he isn’t even looking at me. In fact he is facing almost directly away from me, his body rigid and tensed in his chair which is angled so far away from me that he is almost crashing into Alyiah Winters, the girls basketball team captain, whom I share Spanish class with. Ayliah gives him a look and scoots closer to her girlfriend, a ginger girl named Annie whom I recognise from Trig.
A few minutes into class Mr Jefferson says, “Now that you’ve completed your warm up please turn to the next page.  There you will see a blank timeline. Please fill it out with what you know. I will be calling on people to come write their answers on the board.”
Students all around me busy their pencils and my table mates and I follow suit. After just a few minutes I have every space filled except for number 5. Oh well, someone else probably has it. The rest of the time Jasper stays tense, and I watch through my periphery to see if he will relax his stiff posture but he never does.
About 6 minutes later a nasally sounding chicken-shaped kitchen timer rings and Mr. Jefferson claps the class to attention, “Alright, who has the answer to number one? Raise your hands.” A boy I know by the name of Eli Chang raises his hand cautiously. “Yes, Eli, what is the answer to number 1?”
He hesitates, “I think … James Knox Polk, James Knox Polk is the president in 1848 . . . I think.”
“You think . . . Or you know?” Mr Jefferson asks.
“Ummm, I know,” Eli rephrased, more confident than before but still wary.
“Good! You are correct. Come write that on the board.” Mr. Jefferson says and Eli lets out a breath of relief. As Eli walks to the board Mr. Jefferson continues, “James Knox Polk is the 11th president of the United States, serving from 1845 to 1849. He previously was the 13th Speaker of the House of Representatives and ninth governor of Tennessee. A protégé of Andrew Jackson, he was a member of the Democratic Party and an advocate of Jacksonian democracy.”
This continued as Mr Jefferson worked his way around the room, “Now who has the answer to number 5?”
Only one person raised a hand, Tristan Reid, who looks confidently at Mr. Jefferson. “The Fugitive Slave Act” he says almost smugly.
We wait in silence for a few seconds. Finally Mr. Jefferson speaks solemnly. Knowing him, it can go either way. “Passed on September 18, 1850 by Congress,” we all stopped holding our breath, “the  Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 is part of the Compromise of 1850. The Act required that slaves be returned to their owners, even if they are in a free state. The Act also made the federal government responsible for finding, returning, and trying escaped slaves. I'm sorry, Tristan,” you are incorrect. Now does anyone else want to try?” Jasper coughs  intensely into his sleeve, maybe he’s just sick. Yes, that has to be it. He has a cold and isn’t in the mood for people in general. it isn’t just me, it can’t be just me. Right? Tristan hides his head in his textbook and returns to his work shamefaced.
Jasper, who is still tensed up, raises his hand. He coughs again and I swear I can see the beginnings of a smile on his face. Is he okay? The entire class turns to face our row. Even Mr. Jefferson looks surprised but calls on him anyway.
I don’t  exactly think that his behaviour is at all sociable but I at least want to try and make conversation. Not to mention I’m kind of worried a little bit, maybe more though for his sanity than his health. He coughs again. it’s  a sort of choked off sound, almost like . . . laughter. I drum up all my courage
“Are you okay?”
He looks up, annoyed, I resist my instincts to hide my face in my textbook. “I’m fine, thank you,” he says sharply. it’s  kind of ironic. He coughs again, but it at least sounds less severe this time. I’m not sur eif his answer was truthful but the conversation was mercifully short so I won’t push it any further
“Yes Mr. Hale, do you have the answer to number 5?”
With a dry voice he says, “Yes I do. The answer is 1852, the year that the book called Uncle Tom’s Cabin was published. It was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe at the age of 41 before her death in 1896 at the age of 85.” You could hear a pin drop. The entire class is wide eyed at the specificity of the answer. “I have a headache. May I please go to the nurse now?” Jasper ends his answer as if the request were his intent all along. I'm amazed but I can’t help feeling sympathetic for him.
Mr. Jefferson hesitated, “Yes, of course . . .” he stuttered, but Jasper had already left.
When Jasper is out of the room Mr. Jefferson continues, “Mr. Hale is correct, The year 1852 is when Uncle Tom’s Cabin is published. It helped further the cause of Black activism, and even Abraham Lincoln recognized that this book's publication is one of the events that led to the outbreak of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) published more than 30 books, but it’s  this, her best-selling anti-slavery novel,  that catapulted her to international celebrity and secured her place in history.”
History seems to drag on forever, the teacher droning on about the events of the early 1850s. Jasper never comes back to class. I try to take notes but I can’t  focus. My brain ignored the perfectly reasonable explanation right in front of me and the questions buzzed around in my head. Why had Jasper left so suddenly? A nagging voice at the back of my head can’t  help thinking that it’s  because of me, but of course that is impossible, he doesn’t know me from Eve.
When the bell rings, I pick up my history textbook, stuff it back into my bag and head towards the door.Suddenly someone grabs my arm, shaking a wet rain slicker out and soaking me. “Hey, Arizona, how you likin’ the rain gurlll?” Tristan appears in front of me.
My brain freezes up I don’t know what to say to that. After an awkward since I stutter out a belated “Ahh, Tristan, please don’t do that again.”
“Sorry Bella, I just wanted to get your attention,” he looks at the floor, “so, uh, what’s your next class? I can walk you there, so you don’t get lost! B-because it’s your first day and all.”
“Thanks for the offer,” I say quietly, trying to be diplomatic, “but it’s English with Mr. Mason all the way across campus in building 3. You don’t have to go out of your way for me in the rain.”
“No it’s okay, English is my next class too! I’ll be happy to walk with you!” he says, excited by this idea. He is coming to remind me of a golden retriever.
On the way to building 3 Tristan keeps up a nonstop commentary. He is easy to be with, supplying most of the conversation, and I mostly tuned out Tristan’s constant chatter. But one bit catches my attention.
“Did you hit Hale over the head with a textbook or something? I know he has like anxiety disorder or something, but I’ve never seen him be that weird”
Anxiety Disorder? Could it be that he was like me? I knew I shouldn’t have judged him, but I have to gte more information so I play dumb. “Who?”
“Jasper Hale, didn’t you notice?” He asks in disbelief
“Oh, I was really focused on the lecture. Is that the boy I sat next to?” I ask.
“Yes, I saw you talking to him,” he accused.
Crap! “Oh that’s right, I asked if he was okay. He had a cold or something. I don’t blame him for being grumpy.”
“Yeah, he looked like someone had just stabbed him. It was weird, but he kind of always looks like that.  Anyway, here we are,” Tristan says as we arrive in front of building 3.
English passes in a blur and soon I’m headed back to the front office to turn in the slips that my teachers had signed. When I get to the office I almost walk back out again.
Jasper Hale is standing at the front desk arguing with the receptionist, Ms. . Cope I think her name is. I stand in a corner waiting for Ms. Cope to be free and listen to the conversation. I quickly understand that he is asking to change 6th hour History for another class, any other class.
What happened next seems so small it should have been inconsequential. A girl opened the door to the office. A gust of strong wind blasted past me, causing goosebumps on my arms. The girl simply places a paper in one of the wire baskets and then walks back out again.
But what happened next, that is a different matter entirely. Jasper’s back stiffens and he turns around to glare at me in utter rage! His face  is inhumanly  beautiful but with eyes full of hate. The look is so menacing that I swear he wants to rip me to pieces. Surely there is nothing this boy can do to me that would hurt me, but at that Moment I’m not so sure. It only lasts a second but it feels like my blood is turned to ice.
He turns back Ms. Cope. “Forget it. I can see that this isn’t feasible,” he snaps. “Enjoy your day,” and with that he turns and walks out the door, not giving me a second glance.
I refuse to believe that this can have anything to do with me. It must have been something else, something that had happened just before I got in the room. I was late after all.
I walk shyly up to the desk and Ms. Cope took the slips smiling at me, “Did you enjoy your first day, sweetheart, make any friends?”
“It was  fine, everyone is really nice,” I say. I’ve never been a great liar and it doesn't  help that my voice is still shaking from the encounter.
“Oh good. I hope you enjoy your time with us here in Forks,” she says and reminding me suddenly of a hotel clerk.
“I will, thanks,” I say waving as I step out into the cold.
The rain had died down a bit, but everything is still surrounded by a cold omnipresent fog, from which I happily escape into my truck cabin. When I get inside, the seat is a bit cold but dry and that’s as much as I can ask for in this rainy place.
I can’t  do anything but stare out the windshield for a few minutes. The image of Jasper’s hateful glare wouldn’t leave me, but finally I begin to shiver so I turn the ignition key. My truck roars to life and heat fills the cabin.
I leave the school car park fighting tears. Despite my protestations, a single tear drips down my cheek, and, fighting more tears, I drive the familiar road back to Charlie’s house.
NOTES: still in the long and arduous editing process but I thought I’d go ahead and post it so hope you liked it.
you all know the chicken timers I’m talking about, don’t lie.  also don’t you hate it when teachers ask do that do you think or know thing.  Google helped with this one, obviously.

She Has Seven Bodyguards - 1/2
enhypen 8th female member masterlist
wattpad | open requests / ask della!
Tumblr media
(italics dialogue = english) 
connected to ‘she’s hard to compete with’
requested by anonymous!
Tumblr media
slight warning = i am not a deobi sooo i greatly apologise if their personalities aren't accurate
The 2020 SBS Gayo Daejeon.
Enhypen was invited to the event not even a month after their debut, it was truly an honour.
It brought a lot of attention to the group, many idols were curious about them. They were invited shortly after debuting, they were BigHit Labels' (now Hybe Labels) new group, they were all visuals and they have one female member among seven boys.
There were lots of criticism within the industry about why Della was placed in the group, but none of those people watched I-Land or knew about Alice. She wasn't supposed to be the only girl.
Hybe was unbothered, though. Della was a gem and it was proven by how popular Enhypen already is. Bang PD's vision during the start of I-Land came true, they had successfully debuted a co-ed group.
Tonight, Enhypen has to mentally prepare themselves.
Unlike MAMA, Gayo Daejeon provides rooms for all the attendees, making it easier for idols to stumble across each other. They might have to meet so many seniors.
The female idols attending were excited to catch a glimpse of the group. The girls within their age range, especially.
The older ones were just curious of the sole female member while the younger ones wanted to see how the group's visuals looked like in real life and if possible, introduce themselves.
The male idols were just as excited, if not more. When people say Della brought so many male viewers to I-Land, they didn't realise that idols were included as well.
So many people wanted to get to know the group more, but who is brave enough to make a move?
We have a girl who's hard to compete with and her seven bodyguards. How was anyone going to break through?
Tumblr media
'But every group, including us, does skinship and we aren't dating.'
'She was also like that with everyone in I-Land. I'm sure that's just the way she is. She's a clingy person.'
'That means she has seven brothers, though. That's also a massive struggle. They might be very protective.'
'She's not a kid, she can make her own decisions. If she doesn't want me then so be it, we can be friends,' were among the thoughts that went through a few of the male idols' minds, but in the end, all but one decided on staying safe.
A lot of idols came to Enha's waiting room to introduce themselves to the newly debuted group and Della found herself get starstruck by all of them, lightly fangirling to the boys once the artists leave.
But the people who have visited them so far (besides TXT) are all third generations, so none of them had any romantic intentions.
Then came the fourth-gen female idols, who definitely came for the boys and used Della as an excuse, but that story is for another time.
Enha sighed after meeting the leaders of Treasure. The boys from relief and Della from.. well.. new human interactions.
As well as from meeting one of her favourite groups, of course.
She was about to open her mouth to fangirl when a knock interrupted them once again.
Three heads popped out from the side of the entrance. It was The Boyz's Sangyeon, Juyeon and Eric.
"Hello!" Enha bowed and greeted. The three did the same as they walked into the room.
"We're The Boyz," Sangyeon introduced when they were done greeting. "We wanted to congratulate you on your debut as well as on your amazing performance, you’re really great," he applauded.
"You guys also did that stunt- the one where you did a flip and dropped- yeah, I know how scary that is. You did amazing," Juyeon added, referring to Jungwon and Della’s stunt.
Tumblr media
"Ah yes, thank you so much. I saw your stunt on Road to Kingdom, I hope we did it justice," Della said shyly. She really loves that performance. The Boyz's choreography is always so smooth.
"Oh, you were really good," Eric smiled at her, leaning a little bit towards where she stood. "Della, right?" he knows who she is, he's an Eggie. That's how he knew about her being fluent in English.
"Yeah. Eric, right?" she asked back with a smile.
"You know my name?" he asked with an excited tone and a slight tint in his cheeks.
"You know my name?" Della emphasized on the 'you' with a small chuckle.
"We all watched I-Land," Eric proudly told Enha, pointing towards himself and his hyungs.
"Oh, really?" Jay said in a surprised tone. He knew that he had to say something, anything. It was driving him nuts.
From the way Eric was acting, it was clear that he had a crush on Della. His eyes barely left her and he was leaning towards her a lot.
Jay was trying so hard to not say anything stupid. He had to respect his seniors.
"Yes, we even voted for you guys," Sangyeon told them, which was responded with Enha's 'wah's and 'thank you's.
"I voted for you every week," Eric whispered to Della when his hyungs were busily complimenting the Enha boys. He was careful to not to get too close and make her uncomfortable.
"Woah, really? Thank you so much," her grin widened.
"You're really good. It's not hard to like you," he's doing it.
"Aish," Della lightly punched his shoulder, earning a chuckle from him.
She felt Riki, who was beside her, scoot closer when he realised what was happening.
"Hey um, I know it's sudden but do you think we can get to know each other more and exchange contacts?" oh he just went for it.
Della felt a few eyes turn to her. Without looking, she knows that it's most likely the English line.
"Ah but- I'm actually kind of.. seeing someone right now. I'm really sorry," she said in a low voice and looked at him apologetically. Fortunately, she was audible enough for the members, and Heeseung, Jay and Jake mentally sigh in relief.
"That's fine, we can still be friends," Eric assured. 'Dammit,' he thought. 'I should have known. It would've been a miracle if someone like her was single.'
"Yes, that's right," she was glad that he was so respectful. "Do you have your phone with you? Mine is still with the staff."
He unlocked his phone and handed it over to her once he opened the contacts app. She quickly typed her number in and passed it back.
She felt eyes on her again. This time, she had a feeling it was Jungwon, Sunghoon, Sunoo and Riki. In other words, the non-English line.
They knew Della wasn't dumb. They knew that Della knew that Eric was trying to get with her. So why did she give him her number?
"Well we better get going, you guys are going to have a long road back to Seoul," Sangyeon said after he saw his maknae succeed in getting Della's number.
"If you guys want to talk to us or have someone else to talk to, just ask Della-ssi for our number. Eric will give it to her," Juyeon added, patting Eric's shoulder. He was secretly signaling that he was proud of him.
"Thank you so much," Heeseung leaded. He was feeling really happy after hearing Della's words. Damn right she's seeing someone.
"Good luck with everything," Della smiled softly and bowed, the other members following suit.
"Thank you so much, good luck with everything, too," Eric replied with a bow as well before he left with his members.
"Man, congratulations!" Juyeon jostled him once they were away from the room.
"Ah no.. She said she was seeing someone. I told her that we could still be friends, though," Eric sighed.
Tumblr media
The Enha members aren't very open with their relationship (for obvious reasons). Apart from their managers, Bang PD, their driver and their most trusted friends, no one knows of this polyamorous romance. They haven't actually made it official, too.
So when the three seniors left, everyone just quickly packed their stuff to head to the rented van for privacy.
Jay, Jake and Heeseung were all at ease, knowing of the rejection. They were being really clingy, too.
Sunoo, Sunghoon, Riki and Jungwon, on the other hand, were very eager. They wanted to ask for an explanation as soon as possible.
The four boys were confused to see Heeseung speaking to Della in a baby voice, Jay wrapping his arms around her, and Jake calling her 'babe,' 'baby,' and 'wifey' more times than usual, but they just assumed that they were equally as jealous and were portraying it in a possessive, clingy way.
Jungwon worried that people would be suspicious but he thought that the interaction could pass as a 'Della is our baby' kind of thing.
As for Jake.. Well everyone jokes that they're married anyway.
Della knew that she had to assure them, so when they arrive at the van, she chose to sit in the only three-seater seat in the back. In between Jungwon and Riki.
"Guys," she held both of their hands after the door closed. "I told him that I was seeing someone and he said we can still be friends," she explained calmly.
"Oh my God," Sunghoon turned to look out of the window from both relief and embarrassment.
"Why was I so mad for, then?" Sunoo whined, resting his head on the glass.
"That's why you guys are so giddy," Jungwon sighed, referring to his other members.
"We really wanted to tell you but there were so many people," Jake said.
"-and you were in such a hurry, I couldn't even pull you over to whisper it," Jay added with a small chuckle.
"I was so confused! I'm sure Lala knows he was flirting but why did she give him her number like that?" Sunghoon looked back at his girl.
"Seriously- he was saying stuff like 'it's not hard to like you,' oh my God I was loosing my mind," Jay placed a hand over his face.
"He said that?!" Sunoo gasped and looked at Della.
"Guys, guys. We can stop talking about him now," Della smiled. She finds jealous Enha so adorable. They never once blame her if someone likes her and she's so grateful for that.
She felt Riki poke her thigh and turned her head to him. Without saying anything, she interlocked her arms with his and placed her head on his shoulder.
"You know what we should talk about though! How TWO groups went over to our room to literally flirt with you guys and disguised it as a 'if Della needs help, we're here,' like what the fuck was that," Della said aggressively, making the boys laugh.
"You scared them off though! We were really awkward, we didn't know what to do but you really saved the day," Heeseung said, followed by the boys' sound of approval.
"It felt like high school or something," everyone laughed at Jake's comment.
"No one makes my men uncomfortable like that," Della said in a baby voice with a pout. As usual, Heeseung muttered a small 'cute.'
"That's our Lala," Jungwon said while rubbing his thumb on the back of Della's hand.
The van was silent afterwards, the fatigue finally getting to the group.
"I'm sleeping with Lala tonight," Riki blurted out.
Just like that, it was chaos once again.

Showtime - Part 2
Tumblr media
*Gif not mine, credits to the owner*
• Pairing: Jay Halstead x Reader.
• Requested: Part 2!
• Warnings: Swearing
• Summary:   Part 2 of being undercover with Adam, despite being in a secret relationship with Jay. You can find Part 1 here..
• Words: 2353
• A/N : Part 3 coming shortly as I know not much happened here but needed a filler! Also, kind of wish I had wrote this as being undercover with Kevin as that man really doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, but I got inspo when Hailey was undercover with Adam so will have to be one for next time!
***
“What’s the hold up?” you jump as Voight’s rough voice booms from behind you “The mic was playing up so just had to get it fixed, Sarge” Jay responds for the pair of you as you nod in agreement “Right well let’s get going. Jay you’re with Kim and Y/N, Adam is waiting for you in the car outside. Let’s move” he instructs before stomping past you, leaving you and Jay stood in an awkward silence “Good luck” he sarcastically offers with a grin on his face, you find his confidence amusing considering the night he is in for but decide to go along with his humor “Thanks baby, but I don’t need luck”.
“Sarge, we need a code word to listen out for” Hailey speaks across the radio, you pick up the one hidden under Adam’s seat to respond “Mocktail”. Adam looks at you with his bottom lip out and nods “Hey, that’s a good one” he reassures and you place the back of your hand under your chin to gloat “thank you, thank you”. 
As you approach the club, Voight pulls over into a nearby road to hang back and is soon followed by Jay pulling up behind him to park his truck “You head inside, I’ll leave it a few minutes and follow you in” he directs to Kim who tousles her hair before walking off. Adam stops the car next to Voight’s and you wind your window down to allow him to speak “Jay and Kim will be close by and Kev, Hailey and I will be listening in. Any sign of trouble and you get out or say the word and we will be there” he orders and you can feel Jay staring at you from the other side of Voight “Don’t leave her alone in there, can’t be bothered going through the process of getting another partner” he confesses to Adam with a chuckle, Voight glances at him with a stern look on your behalf “Are you still here?” he asks and you try to hide the smile that is spreading on your face at the change in Jay’s confidence “I’m going” he huffs and exits the car.
Adam drives slowly alongside Jay as he traipses along the side walk, still with the window wound down Adam leans across to speak out of your window “Make mine a double water with a side of Lemon, will you?” he grins but Jay isn’t entertained “Careful or I’ll replace it with worse” he threatens back with a sarcastic smile “No tip for you then” Adam tuts before putting his foot down to speed towards the club “Who’s pissed him off?” he questions but you choose not to answer. 
You watch as Jay walks in the back entrance, giving you a look over his shoulder before heading in. Adam hands the keys over to the valet before giving him some speech about how expensive the car is and if there is so much as a scratch he will make him pay for it, how easily he slips into this kind of character is honestly baffling.. The poor man reassures Adam and drives to park the car, Adam turns to you and naturally slings his arm round your waist and settles his hand at the base of your spine to direct you. “You good?” he whispers in your ear and you nod “If you want to leave, just put your hand on my knee and I’ll make an excuse.” he calmly offers and it instantly helps calm any nerves you had, you had been undercover in clubs a few times but not with a group quite this dangerous so it would’ve been strange if you weren’t a bit on edge.
Your eyes instantly fix onto Jay who is stood behind the bar, pouring a drink and handing it to Kim. You’re not shocked to find he is already looking at you, slight worry in his eye as he chews the inside of his lip. One of his classic go to when he is anxious, you thought you were going straight to VIP but one of the men approach you and Adam first. Out of no where, a tall man in a black suit stands closely to Adam and that’s when you realise his ear piece and mic pinned to the collar of his shirt “Dan and Alice?” he asks and Adam is quick to offer his hand out to the man “that’s us, sir”. The man glances down to Adam’s hand but then ignores it, Adam returns his hand onto the small of your back with a grunt so quiet that only you could hear it. “This way, you’re late and they’re waiting for you”. He extends his arm to direct you to the VIP area “All due respect, they’re waiting on our money so we’re not in a rush” Adam jokes but the man remains stern “That’s quite the attitude you got there, he always like this sweetie?” he aims the conversation to you and you roll your eyes “Only when he doesn’t get what he wants, doesn’t happen often” you wink and notice the corners of his mouth flicker into a smile briefly before falling back to the scowl “Let’s get on with this then.” he walks round behind the pair of you, forcing you to walk ahead “What a nice guy” Adam mumbles to you, causing you to nudge his chest with your elbow as a warning “You deserved that” a voice speaks from behind you, a reminder he was hot on your heels and could hear everything you were saying “If you’ve got any other sarky comments, I suggest you get them out now because they’re not as forgiving”.
***
What seemed like a few hours had gone by and you well and truly felt like a spare part, sat on Adam’s lap as a mere trophy to impress the others. Joining in the conversation every now and then but apart from that, you remained quiet to offer a smile or the occasional sympathetic laugh. “You wouldn’t mind going to grab us some drinks, darlin’?” one of the men leans forward to you and hands you his empty glass. You don’t accept his gesture as you leave the glass in his hand and don’t make any effort to move “Isn’t that what the staff are for? Shit VIP area if you have to get your own drinks” you scoff and run your fingers through Adam’s hair “Be a good girl and run along, the men have some business to discuss” he winks and you instantly feel you could vomit. “Just grab us a bottle off the top shelf and some glasses, isn’t hard” Adam stares down the man before he taps your leg and places a kiss to your shoulder “Won’t be long baby, you might find some friends at the bar” you grimace a smile at him and huff as you stand from his lap, ensuring you pull down your dress to have some attempt in covering your ass as you head down the stairs. 
Jay already has his eyes on you as you scan over to the bar, taking a mental note of where Kim’s stood and making your way over to her. You lean forward on the bar to Jay, knowing full well your chest is very much extenuated as he struggles to keep his eyes up “A bottle of your finest whiskey and 5 glasses, we’re in VIP so you can just bring them over. Thanks” you demand and hold up the VIP card you had been given to add to the tab.
“Doesn’t work that way angel, you take your own drinks. I’m not a server” Jay is quick to hit back, clearly enjoying his new role “Whatever, just get me the bottle and a shot of vodka” you put the card on his side of the bar and turn to lean your back on the bar and look towards Adam.
“Everything alright?” Kim quietly asks from beside you as Jay places the shot on the bar, you pick it up as quick as it is put down and drink it in one “Splendid”. 
“Are you gonna take this, or?” Jay pipes up from behind you, you turn to look at him and he truly is a sight. Bar towel slung over his shoulder, shirt sleeves rolled up to the elbows and a slight glisten on his skin “No you’re gonna bring it for me.” you smile and strut away from the bar. Jay looks over to Kim who tries to hide her smile in her hand as he rolls his eyes “Voight, never give her this role again. She’s relishing in it far too much” Jay grumbles into the microphone hidden in his collar, Kim is quick to speak back before Jay can walk away “Don’t listen to him Sarge, I think he’s secretly enjoying seeing her in a short dress and heels”.
You can sense Jay watching intently as you make your way up the stairs in front of him, only urging you to swing your hips more with every step. You reach the top and situate yourself next to Adam at the table, Jay makes no delay to turn his attention back onto the drinks and you laugh to yourself at how obvious you found it to be. “Just there is fine, thanks pretty boy” you wink at Jay who grins down at you “Pretty boy?” the tall man, you soon learn to be named Eric questions “You better watch out, he might have her off you” he raises his brows as he drinks “No chance mate, she ain’t going anywhere” Adam runs his hand up and down your leg, stopping at the  hem of your dress.
“Besides, she ain’t gonna go for him. Look at him, a server at a bar isn’t exactly who you want to be with is it?” Adam chuckles and you feel your stomach pull, even knowing Adam was only speaking in his character it still didn’t sit right with you that he was saying those things about Jay “I don’t know, he’s pretty cute” you hit back as Jay stands awkwardly, still pouring the liquid into cold glasses in front of you. Adam runs his hand along his jawline and huffs in a laugh before wrapping his arm round you and pulling you onto his lap and away from Jay “We can pour our own drinks, you can go now”” he adds and Jay nods “have a nice night”. 
His eyes linger on you for a split second before heading back down the stairs to the bar, you could tell he was pissed off just by the way his shoulders were tight and his back was straight as he returns to the bar. You turn your attention back to the group of men, one of which was staring at you far too hungrily which you tried to avoid but couldn’t for much longer as he placed himself next to you on the leather sofa “Mind if I have 5 minutes with your girl? I’ll get her out the way while you all settle up” The man asks and you grip onto Adam’s sholder, hoping he would get the hint of how you didn’t want him to agree “Think I’ll keep her with me if that’s alright, don’t want her causing trouble” Adam jokes but Eric clearly wasn’t taking no for an answer “Come on sweetie, just a bit of fresh air is all. Won’t be long”. You could tell he wasn’t going to let up so patted Adam on the chest and gave him a reassuring smile “I’m sure I’ll be fine”.
You yet again made your way down the stairs, followed closely by Eric who was quick to place his hand at the nape of your neck to guide you towards the exit. You walked past the bar and Jay looked concerned, followed by a scowl on Kim’s face as she watched you get rushed past “Sarge, Y/N is being led out by a white male. 6′4, black hair with a white shirt. She doesn’t exactly look happy about it”. Kim speaks into her microphone and not second goes by before Jay chimes in “Want me to follow?” he asks but Voight doesn’t respond.
“We haven’t got eyes, they came out but have gone round the back. It’d be too obvious for us to move but I can follow on foot?” Hailey speaks over the radio, Jay looks at Kim with a panic as silence is still coming from Voight “Sarge, we need answer” Kevin adds but still nothing “I’m going after them” Jay huffs and slams a glass onto the bar “No, leave her for a few minutes. She will be fine” Voight’s voice finally emerges but Jay isn’t happy “Are you serious? Some guy  has taken her out of sight are you’re happy to sit back and do nothing?” he spits back, standing with his back to the club to avoid raising suspicion “All change to channel 5, you’ll be able to listen into her microphone and then we can decide when to move in” Voight demands as Jay and Kim switch their devices as instructed “Is he fucking serious? If something happens to her I’ll-” Jay leans forward, onto the bar near Kim. “Can still hear you, Halstead” Voight interrupts over the radio and Jay scoffs “Good.”
