Hi! Would love if you agreed to write an Isekai where female reader "appears" in the Shinobi world and meets Itachi, they fall in love, etc. Female reader has special powers and Itachi protects her. She heals Itachi from his chakra illness and turns his regular Mangekyou Sharingan into an Eternal one.

Something like that, you can add whatever inspires you whether that's fluff, smut or angst (as long as there's a happy ending).

Out Of Nowhere || Itachi Uchiha x fem!reader

A/n : Hello my dear ! Thank you so much for trusting me with your idea. I'm so happy I turned this way !

Part 2 : And Everywhere : Sex In Tsukuyomi

A/n 2 : IMPORTANT TO READ - This part was supposed to be the intro of a smut fic where Y/n wants to ask Itachi to have sex inside Tsukuyomi. But it got out of hands and now it's Part 1. So yes there will be a Part 2 published tomorrow or the day after

Warnings : Fluff, angst, fluffy ending slowly turning into a slow burn, Itachi loves ypu and he needs to protect you, but you're here to protect him as well. Next Part will full smut.

Masterlist ⚜

I don’t give permission to repost my work, if you want to share it just reblogue it

Word count : 1821

You never thought you’d ever end up in this situation when everything started. You never conceived the idea of someone like him existing. And he never imagined meeting someone like you

How you met, well it was only the chance of destiny

You didn't even know what had happened. You were just walking along when all of a sudden you felt yourself falling ( like just before falling asleep ) and then poof all of a sudden you were somewhere else ( let's say you didn't care about your family and friends lmao because it would be very depressing )

At first you didn't really know where you'd been moved to. You watched the world around you with rapt attention, eager to understand what the hell was happening to you

Nevertheless, you could feel a force within you, like a fire of energy burning deep inside you

But before you could think further your head started throbbing painfully, you started to feel hot flashes. Your hand found a grip on a tree trunk and you slowly slid to the floor. Not even two minutes later you were out, lying unconscious in the middle of this foreign forest

It is some kids that were playing around the area who found you there. While some stayed at your sides, the others ran at full speed to get someone to help

The inhabitants of Konohagakure who were brought by the kids could have been suspicious - like so many other times lmao - but they somehow decided to give you a chance. According to those who found you you were wearing funny clothes and clearly looked disoriented

When you came back to your senses, they didn’t lose any more time to bring you to *inoichi Yamanaka, who sounded your mind to be sure that you weren’t any threat for the village

The more you stayed in Konohagakure the more you started to feel at ease. You quickly learned that you were surrounded by a ninja world in which chakra mastery was a prerequisite for success

You figured that you too, you possessed this form of vital energy that enabled you to enhance your abilities

The most astonishing thing was that yours - probably because of your journey to this world - was different from the shinobis. It had the power to heal the effects of time and disease - like Rapunzel lmao

But you eventually got used to it and started training to become a ninja - Iruka never had such a respectful, elderly pupil 😂

Thanks to your talent and willpower, you were finally able to complete your studies quickly enough to be allowed to go on simple B or C ranked missions within a year - yeah so impressive

However every time you went on a mission, you felt like you weren't at 100%. It was as if you were only using a fraction of the power you had. But you wanted to improve yourself and be best you could be for your fellow comrades So you took matters into your own hands. You went to the central hospital of Konohagakure and asked the doctors to run some tests on you, to try and understand your situation a little better. And a lot has changed after this

The doctors indeed realized that your chakra contained traces of the proteins present in the composition of the Mokuton, Shôton, Byakugan, Sharingan, Rinnegan… the list was so long

They couldn't believe it, they found traces of every Kekkei Genkai in existence, even those thought to have disappeared

Of course, the information leaked out and many ill-intentioned people began to take a close interest in your case. Your power was invaluable and, if used properly, could create an invincible army of ninjas who, thanks to you, could possess several Kekkei Genkai

You weren’t Y/n the newbie anymore, but more the weapon to to declare war on a major power

That's how you met the person who changed your life and made your day. The most talented ninja of his generation had been summoned by the Hokage V to ensure your security

"You understand, Itachi, her safety is our priority. I don't want her to be left alone until all the bounty hunters we know about are put out of action"

"Very well, I won't disappoint you" the young man answered with conviction

Though he hadn't anticipated that he'd take his mission much more to heart than he should have. And finally, even when you were theoretically out of danger, he couldn't resist staying with you. To accompany you on missions or just come for tea after training. And finally he confessed, unable to keep his love for you a secret any longer

To his surprise, you reciprocated his feelings, and that's when the two of you became each other's most important person

After that, you'll all share. Long, exhausting missions that have brought you closer together and strengthened your bond. And then there were the more difficult times, when things had to be done with heavy consequences

But you always managed to find each other. In more or less good shape and condition

This never-ending game of getting lost and finding each other finally came to an end the day he came back to you partially blind. You sensed from his restraint and the almost empty look in his eyes that he couldn't see much. Indeed, his eyes couldn't even make out the contours of your face through all that mist in his eyes and it destroyed him - seriously I'm sure it would have created some ptsd

You couldn't let it go on and convinced him to stop. You kept him close to you and protected him as he had done for you all those years ago

Though there was one thinking you didn’t know. You thought you'd protect him by keeping him away from battles so he wouldn't use his Mangekyou Sharingan, thinking it was the latter that had caused him to lose his sight, but you didn't count on the rare and devastating disease he was suffering from. For some reason, his chakra was the source, and the more it coursed through his veins, the more poisonous it became for Itachi. As a result, his eyesight and health were declining more and more You exhausted yourself day after day, night after night to finally find a way to give him back his sight. He wasn't lost, so to speak, his sharp ninja senses enabled him to perceive everything around him, but... he'd give anything to be able to see your face again

And so, after a few weeks, you succeeded in perfecting a jutsu to restore his sight. He trusted you blindly ( pun unitented / gen ) and he was right. Because it only took you fifteen minutes. And after that draining effort, when he reopened his eyes he felt slightly different

He looked at his hands for a moment, and when he could see the details of the lines in the palm of his hand again, he swore he felt tears starting to well up in his eyes. You'd done it

He saw without any blur your tired face dripping with drops of sweat. When your eyes locked with his, a sigh of relief escaped your lips and you let yourself fall back tiredly onto the bed behind you. His hands came to cradle your face

"You've done wonders Y/n. You're a miracle from heaven" his thumb was rubbing softly against your cheek "I'll never be grateful enough. But you must rest now. Let me take care of you"

With that he took a towel of cold water and passed it over your face to invigorate you. Then he tucked you into bed before joining you like every other night

He spent some extra time admiring the features of your face, which he had missed so much lately. He struggled to understand how such an extraordinary being had crossed his path. How someone like him had been blessed to have you by his side

"Itachi..." he heard you mumble in your sleep, and he couldn't stop a wave of warmth from flooding his heart. He gave you a gentle smile despite the fact that you were fast asleep and pushed a few strands of hair from your forehead. He placed a lingering kiss on it before getting up to brush his teeth

On the way to the bathroom he noticed a slight weight and a tingling sensation in his eye ( does that even make sense ?!? ) as if something had changed. He brushed it off and decided to take care of the task in hand

He took his toothbrush and put some toothpaste on it. Bringing the brush to his mouth, he raised his head and froze. He had just met his own gaze in the mirror, his pupils now adorned with a pattern different from the three tomoe pattern of his Sharingan and the Mangekyou Sharingan he had awakened a little while ago

He swallowed hard as he recognized the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. He took a deep breath and concentrated on regaining control. When he opened his eyes again, this time he saw his everyday black orbs in the mirror. The ones who admired and observed your every detail

It was the first time he had witnessed this particularity of your chakra. He'd heard about it like many people, but he'd never seen you create or awaken a Kekkei Genkai in someone before

He wondered if you'd done it on purpose though, or if it was just a mistake on your part. He decided not to bother tonight and to address the subject the following day. Finally, he continued brushing his teeth, counting the seconds until he could join you in bed and sleep with you in his arms... or the other way round - he also loves to be held

Little did he know that sleeping wasn't really what was going on for you right now. Sure you were sleeping, but your mind and body were restless

When he raised his head earlier, you did your best not to let your breath hitch when you saw the new pattern in his eyes. You knew enough about the Uchihas to know what it was and the many properties this power possessed

You body felt like on fire as you dreamed a whole host of scenarios in your sleep "That's so hot" you kept thinking

In real life your cheeks were flushed and your thighs clenching. And when Itachi came back to bed he thought that you were feverish from using that much chakra earlier. So he held you close, hoping his warmth would help your fever go down at some point But you wished just one thing right now, having several of him taking care of you at the same time in a timeless dimension

i actually feel the same way, i lost passion on playing bcus it looks like the reason why devs made another om game is bcus its easier to rebuild from scratch but they dont realise the reason why om is popular is bcus of the chars and the early years had some passion but it looks like the fire got extinguished as the years go on.

i dont know how many times they've butchered the chars and as you note: the lore does have potential but yea, underdeveloped. ive seen some NB spoilers and its a mess. the way they wrote the celestial realm and "Father" is just... bad. i feel like they're pandering to "safe" zone. less violence and the writers are struggling between themselves when writing celestial realm. either its good or bad, more leaning on the latter (which understandable since MC is on the devildom which may sway them to the demons depending on the player) when it should be on grey area. been so disappointed many times since sometimes they were going the right way. (i.e OM season 2) but they keep steering away again and crashing down.

that's why i lean on fiction. writer's like you are one of the reasons why i keep coming back to the fandom. you're one of my favorites actually, hence why i miss you writing for them. you literally breathe life into them, it only made me wish that you're a part of om writing team (along with the others). whether you're writing for ocs and/ canon chars, ill definitely still be here! your writing is THAT good. i always end up eating well whenever you publish your works. 🤤

Yeah, Obey Me is in a weird spot where the main characters are demons/angels/immortal sorcerers that all sort of act the same. Not perfectly good, not terribly bad, just walking along the line of what seems most palatable. Making the game suitable for a younger/wider audience probably means making them a bit more generic and less edgy/morally ambiguous. Fortunately, there's a ton of great fanfic out there that explores the darker parts of the characters when the game hesitates to do that.

The Celestial Realm has so much potential. I like exploring Michael's character because he's not perfect and he's capable of making bad choices and mistakes as much as the demons are. His part in NB so far has been...strange. I think Father's character has to be handled carefully too. He's boring as an omnipresent leader if he's too passive/inconsequential, but if the writing goes too far in the other direction, he ends up being like a bad cartoon supervillain.

For the A x M story, I ended up including Father when I don't normally write about his character/presence beyond vague mentions. I had to tweak things a bit because I realized I made him too much of an asshole and I didn't want that. I had to amp up Belial's involvement to make up for it which makes sense cause, y'know, demon. It's tempting to put most of the blame on a single unlikable character when there's multiple characters at fault for the bad things that end up happening.

A List of Things To Come

*a long post*

I was on hiatus for about 5 years, but I think it's worth the risk of coming back. These are some thoughts and hot takes I've had since then up to now. My professional life is busy, but when I have the time, I'll share. Anyone interested?

Here's a preview, categorized by fandom:

A Song of Ice and Fire:

For asoiaf canon, I’ll speculate on what Jon and Val could have been, and what they could have had together, if he had not kicked the bucket. I’ll also contrast it with Jon's dreams of a life with her, and why he put the torch to it. :( Because of the root of her dislike of Mel and Shireen, I figure she will not be pleased with un-Jon.

Game of Thrones:

In GoT canon, Jon did not love Dany as much as the script suggested he would. In fact, they both failed to take responsibility for the other person. I haven't seen anyone make a statement like this before. (The PTSD is real.) But fic writers did pick up on this and tried to fix it in canon compliant stories, with a lot of success.

Supernatural:

In Supernatural s12-s14, Mary should have found her sons to be way more weird, specifically with each other. But given what we see of her in s6, her characterization is consistent. She would have, and did, ignore the red flags for an idea of family.

I’ll share approving thoughts on Sam and Dean's relationship in the final seasons, disapproving thoughts on the final season of Supernatural, and how I speculated it would either go Gencest or Destiel. We know what happened. No one walked away happy and I think the fandom was all the better for it.

Destiel is not canon. It only became a one-sided love confession. (I know there's a lot of speculation on what happened b/w the studio, the writer's room and the post-production team. Idc. Not gonna touch it.) Thoughts on how I think SPN could have made Destiel go 100% canon involve tweaking the execution and balancing out the themes of Sam and Eileen's love story, the big bad plot, and Dean and Cas's 'love' story.

Outlander:

Outlander (show-only) thoughts, foremost on Roger Mackenzie. He has vexed me from the first time he appeared on screen. I love him dearly, but he vexes me, for how he consistently affects the plot and how that defines his role among the main cast. Later on, I'll run through my favorite moments, episodes and narrative arcs.

Miscellaneous:

I'll share a list of favorite ship-centric fics I've collected over many, many, many years. (Gotta be over 10 years' worth). Along with blurbs that explain my recommendation in a non-spoilery way. Fandoms include: Harry Potter, LOTR, Supernatural, The Walking Dead, ASOIAF, Game of Thrones, Star Wars (Sequel Trilogy), The Flash, Shadowhunters [look away book fans <3], Hannibal (show-only).

I'll also post drafts of fics I never got right and never finished. Mostly GoT-canon divergent Jon/Dany fics.

Most importantly, some very dear friends have encouraged me to vent and hype up my Jonerys fic series "We Could Live Together" as I write it. It's GoT-canon divergent, but I alter some of what occurred before 6x09. Then the story re-enters book territory and moves toward ADOS conclusions. I'd also love to break down and discuss songs from the playlists when it strikes me.

This is the summary of Part 1, "A Long Way Home" (published):

After the Battle for Winterfell, Jon was captured by Bolton men then later found by Daenerys not far from Dragonstone. Their meeting blossoms into the most honest love--until Jon suddenly leaves for Winterfell, only to return to Dragonstone months later with more terrifying tales of dead men and Winter storms. When Daenerys chooses to send her armies north to fight the dead, all is certain but the matter of their bond. After the pain they'd endured, can they come together again? Or will separation be too powerful to overcome? *or* A romantic tale of choice and second chances.

This is the summary of Part 2, "Awake For Ever In Sweet Unrest" (in-progress and unpublished):

Winter has come and further fractured the realm. Yet Jon and Daenerys's betrothal and alliance is well known throughout the Seven Kingdoms. The secret that threatened to break them has made their love stronger, casting a fragrance of hope that draws to the last Targaryens all who seek refuge from political turmoil. Cersei Lannister has fled King's Landing in favor of establishing a bank in Lannisport, to guard against her deposition by the Iron Bank. Euron Greyjoy has set up a naval blockade at Oldtown, yet manages to beguile the Hightowers. And Walder Frey's sundown years threaten to pull his House into a civil war. From the Wall, Jon and Daenerys begin to wage war on the Others. Yet the age of wonder and terror, of gods and heroes, leads them and their enemies in the least expected ways. It begs the question: does all happen the way it must? *or* A romantic telling of the new War for the Dawn.

This is what I've been doing the past few years: working, (dating lol), re-reading the books and joining theory discussions on other sites. What touched my heart was readers asking for me to continue the fic series. Even as I considered it, I was conflicted. Since the show and book canon are so enmeshed, I think we were really vulnerable to being whipped and scored by D&D. But we all found ways to lick our wounds. I'm grateful we were able to become closer and stronger. I'm glad to be a part of it.

So that's my preview. If you've read this far, thank you. <3

There's more to come.

Anxiety

Disclaimer: I do not own DC or their characters, or their settings. This is certainly not canon.

Warnings & Topics: Social anxiety disorder. 18+, if you please.

Word Count: 1.7K words

Summary: fem!Reader is struggling with social anxiety while attending Bruce Wayne's birthday party, but then she meets a woman named Barbara who helps her escape. Very happy ending. Just fluff & stuff.

Author's note: Thank you all so much for reading. I hope you enjoy.

How the hell did I end up here, I asked myself.

I pressed my back to the mahogany wall as colors and watched the pastel colors swirl past me. I should have never come to this event, this celebration. I'm not even sure how I got invited to this. I had barely ever crossed paths with Bruce Wayne. Sure, I'd edited news stories covering his spotlight before sending them off to be published on the internet, but I could never bring myself to meet with him face to face. I'd talked with him over the phone, fact checking a wild take that a journalist had submitted, but in the two minutes and five seconds that we had chatted, he had obviously decided I was suitable to be invited to his birthday reception.

That's what I absolutely love about my job. I can sit in a dark office all day, I don't have to see anyone face to face, all submissions and communications are sent via email. I'm trying to make arrangements to work from home, so the stress of being so close to the other offices won't be on my mind. My job only requires a computer and phone, after all.

My boss was overjoyed when he heard I had been invited to the big event. Any more excitement, and he would have started a fire with how fast words were spilling out of his mouth. His thrill, however, did not match my own by a long shot. I thought back to when I was sitting in my comfy, swiveling office chair, staring up at the balding, sprightly man who was positively demanding I accept the invitation and attend the event. I don't think I even verbally responded to him at the time. My plagued mind overtook my body, and still had ahold of it even then as I tried to blend into Bruce Wayne's wall.

Social anxiety disorder, my constant companion. My nemesis, my excuse, my greatest hurdle. The only reason I stood there in my old prom dress is because my boss has been on such edge lately, and like my coworkers, I wasn't ready to risk the consequences of saying no to him right then. My anxiety was to blame for that too, coincidentally enough.

As the sea of long dresses and black suits moved past, I tried my hardest to remember my therapist's favorite phrases. Be aware of your body. Be aware of your surroundings. How is your body reacting to this situation? I could answer the last question easily enough. My heart was beating out of my chest, my stomach was churning, sweat was appearing on my trembling hands. Fear was wrapped around my throat, my breathing labored. An older gentleman in a very nice suit gave me a concerned look before his glamorous college-student wife pulled him towards the dance floor. Yes, please go, stop looking at me. I wonder how many people are looking at me right now.

Be aware of your surroundings. I tried, I really tried. I tried to take in the luxury of the room. The velvet curtains, the gold trim, the expensive art, the... was that a tapestry? Be aware of your body. I attempted to become aware of my physical senses. Deep breaths, eyes closed, trying to relax my tense muscles.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

My eyes flew open. A young waiter with a tray was quizzically observing me from a couple feet away.

I can't do this anymore. "Yes! Yes, yes, I'm alright." Fight or flight mode had been activated. Not bothering to thank him, I slipped past the waiter and made a not-so-graceful getaway to the hall. Lush ivy and large chairs decorated the long room, along with a huge mirror that I planted myself in front of, my entire brain trying to retake control. But no, the sickening, uninvited fear had ahold of my entire body.

Looking up into the mirror, I was not exactly pleased by what I saw. My eyes were full of adrenaline and my mascara was running slightly. My dress was wrinkled by where I clutched it at the hip. My hair was the only thing that didn't look frazzled (thanks to an hour of straightening before I had left for the party). Using the tip of my finger, I tried to clean up the mascara around my eyes.

"Did you get bored too?"

My finger nearly went into my eye, startled by the unexpected and unwelcome voice. I wanted to run like a deer being threatened by a panther. I turned nervously to the owner of the voice, and my fear alleviated if only for a moment by the spectacularism of the person I saw. A red haired young woman in a black velvet dress had approached me, a single party-goer from the roar of festivities behind her. I could see the door swinging closed from when she had entered. My anxiety lurched and I could feel liquid coming up in my throat. A hard swallow later, and I assumed my most casual pose. "You could say that."

The redhaired woman turned, pulled her lipstick from her clutch, and repainted her red lips in the mirror. "I'm not even sure why I'm here, my father is the one who actually knows Mr. Wayne."

"I don't know him at all. Bruce, I mean. Not your father." Oh, that sounded so rude. "Sorry... about that."

She turned back around and gave me a shiny smile. "Are you okay?"

Hell no, I'm not okay. "Yes, of course." My hands were still trembling and my cheeks were flushed. Breathing hurt. The radiant woman in front of me could obviously see through the lie. Her head cocked, her beautiful, wavy red hair swayed.

"You don't seem okay," her concern was evident, but I wasn't in the mood for people being concerned and trying to make me talk about it.

"I'm okay, I just haven't eaten today. So... I should probably go do that," that wasn't even a lie. I had only had coffee today so I wouldn't throw up from nervousness tonight.

"What's your name?" asked the woman who was freshening her eyeliner in the mirror.

"(Y/N) (L/N)."

"I'm Barbara Gordon. It's good to meet you. And funny enough, I'm hungry too," the stranger straightened and shook my still shaking hand. "Want to go get something? I can't fill up on shrimp and caviar."

"Neither can I, seafood isn't my favorite." I was shocked at my own boldness. My fear had released its painful grip slightly, but it was far from gone.

"Me neither. I could go for Chinese," Barbara smiled at me. "Want to join? My treat."

Now this was an unexpected decision. She seems nice enough... I want to so badly. It'd definitely be a way out of here, and with a nice person. But what if she's not nice? What if she's not who she seems? What if I mess up in front of her? What if she invites more people? "I'm not sure..."

"Hey, it's okay. I'm chill, I need a way out of this place too. I mostly came for my dad, he loves Bruce. I'm just... not in the right place to party like this."

How about this, my brain bargained with itself. If it turns out bad, we never have to see her again. If it goes good, then we... still never have to see her again. "What the heck. Got a place in mind?"

"Of course, come on! I can't think of a better time than two well dressed girls getting the best Chinese in town. We can take my dad's car."

My hands had slowly stopped trembling. I think it's going to be okay.

...

My escape with Barbara was a needed lifesaver. She made the car ride pleasant, complimenting my dress, asking me about my job, commenting on my hair. I think she sensed that I wasn't as comfortable talking about myself, so she told me about her own life. She was a college student, she was multilingual, she lived with her dad at the moment, but was looking into getting her own place. Listening to her talk was relaxing, knowing I didn't have to talk about myself, no risks of stumbling over my words like I did earlier.

We arrived at what looked to be a family-owned place, it wasn't a chain restaurant, which I sort of admired Barbara for. The best Chinese food came from small restaurants, and she seemed to acknowledge that. The woman assured me she knew exactly what I would like, telling me she'd order then come join me.

I slid into one of the empty booths. Actually, all of them were empty. Too late at night for most people to get takeout, but Barbara and I were evidently not the same as those people. She joined me at the table with trays that smelled much tastier than the takeout Chinese that my boss had delivered at the office every day for lunch. "This looks amazing, thank you so much."

"No, thank you for coming with. It's nice that I found a friend to do this with." Barbara smiled before picking up one of the cartons.

Friend. The word felt so new. "It's been a really long time since I've had a friend." Anxiety brewed and steamed in my throat, but I forgot all about it when she slid her phone across the table to me, a new contact form ready to fill out on the screen.

"Well, now you have one," the redhaired woman said with a smile, before taking another bite of the food.

...

That was four years ago to this day. It's Bruce Wayne's birthday again, but neither of us are on the guest list. That's perfectly okay, we have our own party going on for us. Empty Chinese takeout cartons lay on the coffee table, an actress on the television screen dramatically screams in fear, and I am laying on Barbara's chest, my finger becoming accustomed to the new diamond ring.

I look up at her, admiring how her fiery hair glows in the pale light of the television screen. Anxiety? Hah, not around Barbara, not anymore. Finally finding a person I can experience only joy around... that feels good. Her hand rests on my head, holding me close. Her eyes are focused on the television, but by her smile, I know her mind is somewhere else. She notices I'm no longer interested in the film, turns off the TV, and smiles down at me. Butterflies, not anxiety, fill my stomach.

"Did you get bored too?"

"You could say that."

So, Spooky did a thing a while back where she talked about how amazing people are, and I was inspired to do that as well! So, here are some of my rambly thoughts on a handful of people in the Superstar Daycare server, starting with Spooky herself!

@spookyuu

Spooky is an amazing person. Hands down. She is always willing to listen to whatever crazy rambles pop up. I first interacted with Spooky when I scared her by suddenly disconnecting from a call and I apologized for spooking Spooky lol. Her art is just to die for and I always feel supported when I talk to her. She’s always there to pick someone up if they’re feeling down. Oh, and Spooky is the one who drew my amazing profile picture!

@suokumi

They are slowly becoming the parent of the group, I swear. Suo is always there to make sure you’re taking care of yourself and to help you if you’re having a problem. They are so full of love and always willing to share it! If you say hi, good chances are Suo is there to greet you with love! Suo is also such an amazing artist who loves to make drawings for others. Their style is so pleasing and shaped, seriously.

@opudontdonut

Opu is full of fun and mischief, in my humble opinion. Whenever you’re talking to them, you’re going to have a fun conversation! Also, seriously, they are another amazing artist to add to the ever-growing list. HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR ANIMATIONS???? SO GOOD! I swear I can watch his stuff over and over again.

@madame-mongoose

Honestly, where would we be without Monnie and Sy? There is so much I can say about how awesome Monnie is. Her art is just- chef’s kiss. She is the queen of shapes. I swear, Monnie has made me fall in love with bugs like no one else could. Now I actually get excited when I see one and my immediate thought is to send her a picture. Her love of Ghost Busters and Frankeinstien is so infectious, I swear. And have you seen her OCs??? Go ask her about them because they are amazing, from Cassia to Barry!

@sycopomp

Like I said earlier, where would we be without Sy and Monnie? I haven’t been able to talk to Sy much, I can tell you that Sy is an amazing writer, and they have a great sense of humor! Sy’s writing made me feel feelings. So many feelings. I’m so glad I got to listen to OOIE be read out the day it was published.

@ari-fire-arts

Oh boy, I have so much to say about Ari and how awesome they are. A coder, an artist, a great voice for reading; I could go on. Ari is another person who is always making sure we take care of ourselves, from making sure we drink water to getting enough sleep. Ari is also a very hard worker, and is so talented! They were also kind enough to explain a bit to me about how coding works, which is so nice of them! Ari deserves all the love, just like everyone else here lol.

@okapikookie

Okapi is so cool! She is a kind and caring person who is great to talk to. She’s there to listen and is another hard worker! Okapi gives off a motherly and calming aura, if that makes sense? She and a few others have been coming up with an AU that is super expansive and so cool to read! I love talking to her so much.

@skittlewaffle

I will never stop giving Kay the praise she deserves! Kay’s art and creativity is just off the walls, and they are such an awesome person! Kay is so much fun to talk to. Kay is another really kind person, too. I love interacting with them and just overall feel relaxed when we’re chatting. I think Kay is one of the first people I really bonded with in the DCA fandom along with some others on this list.

@paper-lilypie

Gah, Lily is so so incredible! She was one of the first people I started following for DCA stuff. Lily is so cool and stunning, I love talking to her so much. Lily is both an amazing artist and an amazing writer. I could probably write a 5-page essay on how much I love her and her work. Lily is also great at giving us little clues to solve mysteries around CCRT, and just out of nowhere she’ll drop lore for us to unravel and I love it! It’s always a good time when Lily is around and just- gah she’s so cool!

@spaciebabie

Spacie is totally feral in a good way, honestly. Talking with them is an adventure that I love. I think they pretty much have everyone beat in the humor department and I will die on that hill, sorry. You’ll never be bored when you’re talking to them, and who can forget how they started the great Sunasspocolypse? I’m so glad they did, too, cause that’s part of how I found them on tumblr lol. Spacie’s art, OCs, ideas; they’re all stunning and I love them! Not to mention their singing voice cause damn, Spacie has the voice of an angel!

@sleepyjuniper

Oh June, such an awesome person! She is so kind and supportive, always willing to help! Visions is such an amazing fic and I still need to catch up on it and I will hopefully get to that soon. But everyone should go read it cause it’s amazing! Her art is also to die for and I swear she is going to kill me from the fluff she writes. June is so nice and everyone should go spam her and her fic with love.

@honiegoo

Goo needs all the hugs. They deserve hugs. Goo is such a cool person who is so supportive of everyone! Everyone gets excited when Goo appears. Goo is honestly such a great person that I wanna give all the love and affection to cause seriously, how can you not love them?

@nefariouslydinkle

Dinkle is so cool. I envy her expressions cause like, they convey so much with just a simple drawing! Please, teach me how you draw expressions like that! They are such an awesome person and everyone would benefit from having Dinkle in their lives!

@daunsun

I wanna give Daun the biggest hug! She is such a sweetheart (with some hilarious sass) who has made an amazing Flowershop AU that you guys need to check out! Her drawings are amazing and I wanna consume them all, respectively. Daun is also a great writer! She is just overall amazing and deserves lots of love.

@crazedauthor

Crazed? Gah, there are so many things I could say about her! She is wonderful, hands down! Her writing? So cool! I consume it all! Have you guys read 404: Personal Space Not Found? No? Well, you need to! They are such a fun person to talk to and have so many fun ideas! Go and give her love!

@certified-handler

There are so many good things I can say about Certified! She has so many cool ideas and they’re all so amazing. Her Fire Dancer AU? Dealer’s Choice? The Night Shift? They’re all so awesome and I have consumed them all with love and affection! The talent in Certified is off the charts! She is also great to talk to and I just have so much praise for her!

@cakesfunhouse

Cole is the master of dad jokes. Like, no one can beat them. Do you think you’re good at dad jokes? Do you think you’re funny? Well Cole probably has you beat. I know I said that Spacie beats everyone in humor but if they did have competition it would be Cole. Cole is such a great writer too! They love to hit you with amazing fluff when you least expect it and seriously, they are just a great person to talk to.

@derpygirl-draws

Jackie is the server baby, all praise the server baby! She is a bit of a chaotic gremlin, but in an endearing way! Her art style is adorable and I stand by it. Jackie is great at spreading cheer and positivity and I swear things would be so different without her.

There are honestly so many more people I wanna talk about but I am running out of time lol. Even if they aren’t on this list, there are so many wonderful people I’ve gotten to interact with that I could write pages of praise for. Frankly, there is so much more I could write about the people I talked about! I’m thankful for all of you, and I love you.

2023 Writing Self Evaluation ✨

Thank you to @disgruntledkittenface for tagging me! 💕

1. List of works published this year:

I’m just going to link the masterpost I made a few days ago because I published 26 works this year and I don’t feel like listing them all again here lol

2. Work you are most proud of (and why):

Inner Crisis, for sure. I had written fics with ace characters before, but this one just took it to the next level for me in terms of how personal and vulnerable it is, and I’m very proud of the way it turned out, and of myself for putting it out there. 🥰

3. Work you are least proud of (and why):

I’m going to take the easy way out here and say none. I can honestly say I’m proud of every single fic I have put out into the world this year. <3

4. A favorite excerpt of your writing:

I always find this question hard, but the one that comes to mind first is this bit from You’re Family:

“Anyone want tea?” Anne asks.

Louis lets the others answer first as he allows his eyes to scan the room around him.

A tall tree is tucked away in one corner of the room, decorated beautifully with a mixture of whites, reds and golds, along with a few handmade decorations sprinkled throughout, most likely some of Gemma’s and Harry’s creations from back when they were kids.

Underneath it, a dozen or so meticulously wrapped gifts await the moment they’ll be unwrapped.

To his left, an imposing fireplace anchors the room, the fire lit within bathing the room in warmth along with a soft amber glow.

Five traditional red and white stockings are hung along the mantle, and Louis smiles as he reads the names embroidered on each of them, fondly thinking of a time his Mum used to do this for him and his multiple siblings too.

Anne. Gemma. Michal. Harry. Louis.

Wait.

Louis?

That’s him.

“Louis?” Anne asks, and Louis whips his head around to look at her in disbelief. “How do you take your tea, darling?”

“You got me a stocking?” Louis asks instead of answering her question.

Anne smiles softly at him. “Of course, you’re family.”

Louis tries really hard not to tear up. He mostly succeeds, save for maybe a tear or two he fails to conceal.

Beside him, Harry squeezes his knee and pulls him closer.

“So, your tea?” Anne asks again with a knowing smile.

“Oh, hm,” Louis clears his throat. “Just a splash of milk, please.”

“You got it, darling,” she says before disappearing in the direction of the kitchen.

Louis finds his gaze going back to the stockings again, still shocked to find his name on the last one.

“See,” Harry whispers in his ear. “I told you they’d love you.”

5. Share or describe a favorite review you received:

I don’t think I can pick only one, but I have to say the response to Inner Crisis as a whole. The number of comments and messages I’ve received from people telling me they relate to Louis’ story has just blown my mind and each one of them has made me cry

6. A time when writing was really, really hard:

I’ve found it quite difficult to find time to write this whole year, to be honest. 2023 turned out to be pretty busy for me personally, and it’s resulted in many periods of not writing at all, and then I always find it hard to get back into it.

7. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you:

All of I See You. This is the second year in a row that I wrote horror for the 1D Trick or Treat fest, and I am still baffled that I, someone who usually writes mostly fluff, am somehow able to do that lol.

8. How did you grow as a writer this year:

Most of what I wrote has been very self indulgent. I had so little time to write that when I did, I just wrote what I wanted to write, rather than what I thought other people would enjoy, which is quite freeing actually.

9. How do you hope to grow next year:

I’d like to step out of my comfort zone a little and attempt working on a longer fic.

10. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):

Anyone that has left a comment on any of my fics this year. Here are a few people in particular whose support has really made a difference over the past year ❤️: @disgruntledkittenface @bigxrig @parmahamlarrie

11. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:

A lot of Inner Crisis is inspired by my own experiences with asexuality.

Oh and A Special Bond literally has links to pictures I took while travelling for visuals!

12. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:

I’m pretty sure this is what I say every year, so not new wisdom, but, just write what YOU want to write. Have fun with it, and the rest will work itself out!

13. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:

I haven’t written in over a month at this point, so I don’t have any active WIPs that I’m bringing into 2024, but there are definitely a lot of ideas I’m excited to get to explore next year, including a fake relationship fic idea I meant to write this year but ran out of time to.

14. Tag three writers whose answers you’d like to read. ;)

Flake's podcast - Books

published on YT 2020-06-12, but likely already podcast before that..

youtube

A podcast on the topic of books, but pretty much without books, because Flake (0h12) has the habit of giving away books he really likes, because a good book should be read by others as well. Not many books, but plenty of good music instead, and some anecdotes..

After marvelling briefly (0h11) on two-person bands, Flake realises he's been in one too: Die Magdalene Keibel Combo, with Paul. They would occassionally have a guest-drummer when playing concerts, but otherwise it was just the two of them, travelling to go and play somewhere. Because they knew eachother for a long time, they didn't have much to talk about, and with just two guys, the usual band-banter wasn't there either. Flake likens them to two vacuumcleaner salesmen on the road 🍀

Flake tells us (0h35) about, when he was young, going to the rehearsal room where various bands practiced in the hope they would let him play along. And because Flake was one of the few keyboarders in East-Berlin who could bring his own keyboard (he had his small portable Casio), they often did let him play when a keyboard was needed. After band practice one or two would stay behind and they would jam together some more. One time a song 'Es regnet Scheisse' (It's raining shit) was ad-libbed, which happens to be something Flake knows from real life, when he lived (illegally) in a flat which had seen a fire before he lived there and part of the ceiling (floor of the apartment above) was gone. One day sewage water (and shit) flowed down from the ceiling and along the walls, and it turned out the drain of his upstairs neighbour had burst. Because he didn't live there officially he didn't know where to turn, so put down buckets and used an umbrella indoors. Eventually Flake moved out (although he can't recall how).

At 0h51 he thinks back at Feeling B's old drummer (I'm assuming Alexander Kriening) who after practice would jump into a hangmat (fully clothed, with coat and shoes) and sleep a few hours, then got up and without changing would get in a car and drive to a concert. Flake thought that was very cool (himself always having to undress and get in his pyjamas before he could go to sleep).

At 1h29 he talks about hanging around in bars a lot at the time, especially in the very popular (with the alternative scene) Cafe Westphal, where they would drink, meet people and form new bands for which they would mainly discus naming the band, how cool the band would be, how much succes they would have, and not so much thinking about the music. Most of these band ideas were forgotten the next morning. Once Flake on his way to the pub was knocked down by a guy who just got out of jail and was totally freaked out about going to jail in 'the east' and getting out 'in the west'. When beaten-up Flake got to the pub, he had to tell the story several times, got a big glass of beer with each retelling, got cocky and was thrown out of the Cafe Westphall himself (which was an achievement in itself).

And at 1h17 he tells us what his biggest wish was at the time: to get a harmonica. But these weren't easy to get in the east, and they come in different keys, so if you really want to play you need several. Eventually he did get someone to send him one from the west, and wasvery happy to carry it around. In his shirtpocket obviously, because in the pantspocket the harmonica would get muddled in with the handkerchief and get all kinds of stuff on and in it. Flake once ate a salami sausage before playing; the harmonica still smelled of salami a year later 😊

🎹

Flee for Your Life? Wildfires transform hiking in California's mountains

This is an excerpt from an article published on August 21, 2022 in the Santa Cruz Sentinel. I wish so many of our posts were not related to wildfires but fires have become a critical issue in trip planning and trip safety. Make sure you read to the recommendations at the end of the piece.

By Ethan Baron

Andrew Schrock woke around midnight smelling smoke on a backpacking trip late last month in California’s far north.

“I heard what I thought was rain but was ashes on the tent,” said Schrock, 43.

Using a satellite-based device from the Klamath National Forest near the Oregon border, he texted family and friends back home to find out what was happening – but “no one was up.”

He’d had cell service a mile back along the iconic Pacific Crest Trail that stretches from Mexico to Canada, so he set out alone in the dark, got online, and discovered that the McKinney Fire – which has since grown to more than 60,000 acres, killed four people and required the rescue of 60 hikers from the California side of the trail – had ignited behind him to the south the previous afternoon.

Ask anyone who hikes in California’s mountains about wildfires and you’ll likely get an earful about canceled trips, detours, lung-burning smoke and, possibly, harrowing escapes. Backcountry travelers are increasingly finding themselves on the dangerous edge of a changing climate that is driving drought, parching forests, spreading tree-killing beetles and altering weather patterns. Add in heavy vegetation buildup from decades of fire suppression, and you have frequent, ferocious forest fires that scramble hikers’ best-laid plans and demand new tactics for staying safe.

Schrock, of Long Beach, flew from Ashland, Oregon, to Fresno and then caught a bus to Yosemite to get back into the Sierra Nevada and finish his vacation covering more ground and enjoying the wilderness on his multi-year quest to complete the Pacific Crest Trail, he recalled while taking a snack break beside Lower Echo Lake near Lake Tahoe.

Dallan Clancy of Belmont, 68, finishing up a day hike 100 miles west of Sacramento at Carson Pass, said he had to cancel an overnight trip last September in the southern Sierra because the U.S. Forest Service shut access to all but one of California’s national forests over fire risks, including what the agency called “fire behavior that is beyond the norm of our experience and models such as large, quick runs in the night.” Clancy said he and four friends are aiming to do the trip this year, “unless it gets really bad.”

“We’ve always made note of escape routes, but on this trip, we actually planned our escape routes. We wanted to know the routes we could take to get out to a road,” said Jack Daro, a Southern California musician taking a break at Carson Pass during a backpacking trek to Yosemite National Park.

Hikers in years past “just went and did whatever you wanted to do wherever you wanted to go,” Wilkinson said. But 2020 marked a transformation, with the million-acre August Complex Fire, the Creek Fire northeast of Fresno that led to helicopter evacuations of hundreds of people including hikers on the John Muir Trail, and other massive blazes launching California into the age of mega-fires, Wilkinson said.

Nine of California’s 20 biggest fires since 1932 have occurred in the past three years, torching 4.1 million acres, according to Cal Fire. This year’s five biggest blazes have burned 116,000 acres, and “we’re just now getting into peak wildfire season,” Wilkinson said.

U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Adrienne Freeman noted that fire can move much faster in today’s baked-crisp forests. “The window between OK and not OK,” Freeman said, “is becoming shorter and shorter.”

Backcountry journeyers who think seeing smoke but no flames means they’re fine may be mistaken, Wilkinson said. “Fire can move like a freight train, much faster than a person can run.”

Some hikers have dramatically changed the way they travel. Loetitia Saint-Jacques, 50, a Tahoe City veterinary technician, was on an overnight trip this month near South Lake Tahoe. Before the mega-fires, she and her companions would take long trips into deep wilderness. “We don’t go as remote now,” Saint-Jacques said. “Now it’s shorter trips. We do overnights, instead of five to eight days.”

Long-distance speed-hiker Ella Raff had multiple run-ins with wildfire and its fallout after embarking on the Pacific Crest Trail in June to walk from Mexico to Canada. Last month, the Washburn Fire in Yosemite shrouded her in smoke for two days. “I was just breathing heavy smoke 24/7. It’s not very fun,” said Raff, 29, of Portland. Farther north in California, traversing 85 miles of trail charred from last year’s nearly million-acre Dixie Fire left Raff covered in ash and dismayed by a “surreal” landscape with little animal life.

Soon after, she smelled smoke from the McKinney Fire. As she was nearing the Oregon border, authorities shut the trail ahead. More than 100 miles of the route remain closed, with the fire, which started July 29, now almost contained. Raff made her way to Portland, then to Washington to hike the trail southward from Canada.

Changing jumping-off points, routes, destinations, or timing to cope with uncertainty about fires is now routine for hikers in California. The Caldor Fire, which ravaged 220,000 acres southwest of Lake Tahoe last year from August to October, forced Truckee artist Danae Anderson, 63, to cancel three backpacking trips. “Everything was too smoky up here,” said Anderson, hiking beside Lower Echo Lake. She went to Yosemite instead.

Reckless target shooting by a father and son allegedly caused the Caldor Fire. The inferno’s scar stretches nearly 50 miles southwest of Echo Lakes in a swath up to 15 miles wide, much of it a blackened wasteland of lifeless trees, some downed, some standing without greenery, granite on many boulders shattered in places by the intense heat. More than 80 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail were closed from the fire’s start last August until early this year. Hikers passing through such areas may find water scarce, and standing dead trees can pose a deadly toppling hazard, said Matt Rump, a trail stewardship staffer for the Pacific Crest Trail Association.

Crews take down the most dangerous trees, but because there are so many dead, and they provide important wildlife habitat, officials accept some risk to hikers, under the calculus that “if you get whacked, it’s your time,” said Cheryl Bailey, 73, a volunteer for the Tahoe Rim Trail Association, as she walked along the 2 1/2 miles of the rim trail that run through the Caldor scar and that she’s been helping rebuild.

Some hikers console themselves with fire’s importance to forest health, but many of today’s blazes burn so hot they kill trees accustomed to lower-intensity fires.

In the Echo Chalet store where Schrock, who fled the McKinney Fire, bought snacks, cashier Georgia Sprague, 22, chatted with the trekkers whose ebbs and flows depend on fires and smoke. Many expressed urgency over climate change.

“They feel a lot of a push to get out,” she said, “and see the world before it burns up.”

Wildfire safety tips for hikers

Recommendations for staying safe while hiking in the age of mega-fires:

Check websites such as InciWeb for fire information and PurpleAir for air-quality information before, and if possible during, backcountry trips.

2. Give friends and family your itinerary, always know your location and pay close attention to your surroundings in case you need to retreat.

3. Know whether fires are prohibited where you’re going.

4. Carry paper maps in addition to any digital maps or apps.

5. Use cell phones and satellite-based devices to monitor weather, fires, wind, air quality and alerts such as Red Flag wildfire warnings, and to stay in close contact with people not in the wilderness who may have better access to weather and fire information. Many satellite-based messaging devices such as the popular Garmin inReach also act as rescue beacons; trekkers wishing to stay less connected may prefer personal locator beacons that are only for emergency rescue.

6. Pay attention to signs at trailheads and trail junctions.

7. Gather crowd-sourced fire and trail information from reliable websites and forums.

8. Carry an N95 mask in case of smoke.

9. Watch the sky for smoke, and use your nose to detect it.

Y/N is a writer trying to get published after college, but old friends from High School come back into town. Right after their tour finishes, making the whole town go crazy.

They are all a huge distraction to you, leaving you on twisted ends... Jacob and Josh sure had caught your attention, they certainly had their eyes only on YOU.

You're just a girl caught up in between two twins. Jealousy rushes through, ruining everything. Will Y/N have to choose a different route, choosing to go solo but will be quite unsatisfied.

Will Y/N choose the right twin? Or will you have to have both? And by both, is exactly what I mean. ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

❀ ❀ ‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚. ❀ ❀ ‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚. ❀ ❀ ‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚. ❀

✨𝕋𝕨𝕚𝕟 𝔸𝕕𝕕𝕚𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕕✨

"Danny boy, over here!" I shouted out in a strange ass voice. Why do I have to be so loud?

I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath. He quickly glanced over to me rushing to make his way over.

"Y/n, I'm so glad you could make it out tonight." He gently kisses my cheek while bringing me in for a hug. I smiled showing a little teeth, following him inside the restaurant.

I greeted each one of the Kiszka's one by one until Jake. I stared at him and said my friendly hello his way, not even hugging him, with that I sat down kindly. He ignored me at first until Josh hit his arm signaling I was speaking to him, ass!

I've known each of these boys from school, Danny is my best friend. He introduced me to the Kiszka brothers meanwhile Jake has always picked on me. I thought maybe he could like me but he had other reasons. I ignored him and continued to order my food and of course wine. I need it!

We all fight over paying the bill but Josh ends up winning that battle. We walk outside and into the parking garage, I followed Dan to his car because I've had too many glasses of wine.

"What's wrong, can't drive yourself."

I hear a voice behind me, scaring the living shit out of me. I jumped and sighed when it was him.

"Do you happen to be a jerk every time you get the chance to talk to me?" I stated very calmly considering how much I drank. He proceeds to smile at me while smirking. He really thinks this is a game, doesn't he? Dan's chatting with Sam and Josh while I'm in the corner, with Jake.

"I'm sorry y/n, I know I've always been hard on you." He jokes around a little. I look at him up and down which was a mistake. When did he get so hot? I've always had an eye for him but he looks so different, so mature.

"Um, hello? Earth to y/n." He waves his hand over my face.

"Yes. But that's in the past right? You don't have to act like that anymore, Jakey. We're not in high school anymore remember?" I say as I stick my tongue out at him because two can play baby.

"You know what you're a-" Jake is interrupted by Sam.

"JAKEEE, YY/NN!" He motioned us towards the heard, thankfully. I followed Jake but suddenly I'm on the ground. All because of my fucking shoe. Heals to the trash now I'm very upset, I just got these.

"Omg y/n, are you okay?" I hear Dan say, following along with Sam and Josh. But Jake, laughing by the car. What is wrong with him!

"I'm fine, just a scratchy scratch y'all." Sam helps me up, he's so sweet. I hold onto him so I can take my shoes off. Barefoot I go. I look down at my knees to see they are scraped up and now bleeding.

"Want me to carry you back to the car?" Sam smiled at me.

"Sam, I don't need you to carry my fat ass." I say laughing. Sam nudged me to calling myself names, I mouthed sorry to him.

Jake ran over to us now making sure if everything was alright. Was he that drunk.

"Y/n you can have my shoes if you want?" Jake says while removing his shoes from his feet.

"No thanks, I'm good to walk to the car it's just over there." I giggled while pointing as we headed over to them.

"Now let's go to my place and have a few drinks, chill by the fire." Josh says and we all head out to Josh's house.

I go in Dan's car while Jake asked if he can come along. I smiled but and got in the back seat. Biting my lip my thoughts were racing. Why was Jake turning you on for no reason? I roll my window down to get some air. That's what I needed. My hair was blowing, my eyes were closed, and I had no care in the world. I started to smile.

I opened my eyes to only find Jakes on mine. He was looking at me in the mirror from the passenger seat, I swallowed so loudly I know he heard me. He was winking at me. What a flirt. I smiled at him then rolled my window up. Keeping my laugh to myself.

We pull into Josh's drive way, finally. Get me out of this car I need a drink. I try to open the door but it has already been open, by the one and only Jake.

Seriously... This is going to be such a long night. I'm not prepared for.

Jake helps me out the Jeep but I don't walk next to him I run to Danny's side whispering in his hear. Needed to tell him what games Jake has up his sleeves. Dan gasp at the thought of Jake ever being mean to me, Jake's eyes in this direction, I form a wicked smile. He shook it off and we finally walked inside. Josh's house was so big and beautiful, they must be getting big to afford something so beautiful. I head off to the bathroom first to "freshen" up, but really I needed to look my best.

After hearing the directions to the bathroom I eventually found it.

I meet back up with the boys who are all sitting on the couch with beers.

"Y/n, need a beer? I have some wine too." Josh implied smiling at me.

"Yes please, th-thank you Josh." With that he got up motioning me to come with him in the kitchen.

My hair is down, it's so fucking long it's to my ass. I usually have hair ties on me, but I was almost late to dinner I have no time. I take a deep deep breath and look at Josh, who's already pouring me a glass of wine.

"I figured you'd like the wine." Josh sits at the bar I join him.

"Actually yes! I love wine. Thank you again for dinner, and of course having me over. I haven't seen y'all in a hot minute. How're you really?" I stare into Josh's eyes while sipping my wine. This wine is so fucking good.

"It's nice that you actually agreed to come to dinner this time, y/n. I've missed you! We've been great, fans are getting wilder." He laughs to himself as I join him.

"Yeah I know, I've flaked a few times. I'm sorry honestly. I was so caught up with my writing, college, trying to get published. It's not easy. I've missed you all as well, you guys are my whole life." I take a little chug needing more wine. Josh gets up knowing too, filling my cup up even more. Josh and I actually dated in high school, so our chemistry is real. I only went to shows with them the first year, then decided I needed to focus on my career path.

"You have a beautiful home Josh, amazing really!" I look around the kitchen to only be stared down at by Jake. He approaches us in a soft way.

"So you guys are just going to hangout alone in here or come hangout by the fire?" Jake says as he's smirking.

Josh and I look at each other but before I could speak Josh does for me. It's getting really hot in this moment.

"Give us a minute, we just came in here Jake."

He sounded upset with him, I couldn't blame him.

Jake turns around and heads back to the laughing filled living room. They all go outside. I'm now left alone with Josh. I've had a few drinks, I don't want any anything to happen.

""Y/n, I meant what I said. I've missed you so much. I'm so happy to see you here." He leans in rubbing my lower back. I lean in closer to him grabbing my glass to drink.

"You never decided to reach out to me before, why now?" I've grown very much so without them, I've grown a thick wall of protection so I don't get hurt AGAIN. Josh blinks while taking a sip of his beer.

"You never agreed to come to anything we invited you to. I thought you hated me, I thought we left on a good note."

He looks at me worriedly. I place my hands on his. He's so cold Jesus.

"We did, I was just really busy. Let's forget about it now, we're here together. Let's just go outside and enjoy the fire."

I smile and got up. Josh wrapped his arms around me, I hugged him back. He was smelling my hair. His lips found their way to my neck, I then pushed back.

"Josh. I haven't seen you in how long? Years! Doesn't mean you can just kiss me sir!"

I laugh and wobble a bit. He backs up putting his hands up to defense, I finish my glass of wine. Josh takes my glass and opens the liquor cabinet.

"Want a shot?" He grabs two little glasses. I guess I have to.

"Okayyy, fine!" I gave in. We took 2 shots each.

"No more! That's all I'm drinking." I laugh stumbling next to Josh.

"Whoa there, this is a family show! You need to calm down." Josh says in this weird accent. Making me spill out laughing so loud. We're both laughing. We end up on the floor together, I tripped on his foot. Why am I so damn clumsy.

"Jakes gonna get mad if we don't head out there right now." I continue to laugh looking in Josh's direction.

"Fine, let's go. I'll help you up."

He gets up first to help me but walks to the liquor cabinet again.

"Josh another?" I ran over to him, he's handing me another shot. I take this one down with ease.

"Now we're ready." Josh places his hand on my back to guide me outside.

"Wow look who decided to show up!" Danny shouts at us. Sam and Jake having their own conversation.

I sit next to Dan but Josh comes to join me, right next to me.

"What we're you guys doing?" Sam says looking in our direction.

"Taking shots!" I laugh looking at Josh, he gets up and stats doing this dance thing. The way his ass is looking right now, I have to look away.

"So you're getting y/n hammered the first night you see her Josh?" Jake shouts chugging down his beer.

Why was he being so weird today, I don't get it. I look at Josh for his answer, because I need to know.

"Yeah Josh, why are you getting me so drunk?" I jokingly laugh. He shrugs it off ignoring his brother. As you should!

Music is playing, the wind is blowing slow, the fire is crackling. This seems so fake but it's these moments I crave, peace. I get up and start to dance with my eyes closed. Letting the wind take me away. I hear a lighter being sparked as I open my eyes, Josh is passing me a joint.

"Perfect ass timing." I grab the joint to inhale, wait a few seconds with my eyes closed. I exhale slowly passing it to Dan.

"I'm having such a great time y'all, thanks for having me." I smile at everyone trying to get them included.

"I need to be on your level right now y/n." Jake says across the fire. My level? Am I getting too crazy..

"Well let's go take a shot Jake? If you're willing to." I get up and head to the kitchen. I start to pour the shots for myself until Jake blinded me with his hands.

"Jakeee, I need to see to take this shot." He uncovered his hands and takes them one of the glasses from my hand.

"Cheers!" We clanked our cups, throwing my head back. Damn.

"I think that's enough... for me." I walk to the couch and sit down for a minute. My head is spinning, I haven't drank this much since the shows.

Jake follows me sitting next to me.

We start to have conversations that I would never expect to have with Jake. He has me laughing and smiling. This was the old Jake until last year of high school. Turned into a douche bag, but he's not bad after all. We've shared a couple makeouts here and there, but nothing more.

"Jake, can I ask you something?" I stare directly in his eyes.

"What we're you gonna call me earlier? Before we were interrupted by Sam." I giggle because he was probably calling me a bitch.

"I honestly was going to call you a brat. Nothing more I promise." He smiles.

"I hope so, or I'll kick your ass if your lying." I joke while shoving him. He starts to tickling me, making me laugh so loud causing the boys to all enter in.

"Did I miss anything here?" Josh shouts and head to the kitchen. I wanna talk to Josh in the kitchen so I began to collect myself and relax.

I stood up but only to fall down and onto Jakes lap. Of course. His hands grabbing onto my lower body to keep me up.

"I'm sorry, I really am." I try to get up but Jake is stopping me, holding me down tighter. He whispers in my ear.

"No you're not." His breath hot tickling my neck. I manage to get up but he picks me up.

"Jake put me down!" He smiles as he's carrying me up the stairs.

"You need to be put to bed, look at you you're a mess." He opens a door and throws me onto the bed. My whole dress moves up exposing my ass.

I don't think too much of it the air feels good on my skin.

"Listen, I've always had a crush on you. Seeing you tonight, made me realize I need you in my life." He starts to rub up to my exposed ass.

"J-Jake..." I immediately get goosebumps, his hands are moving up my dress. I stop his hands with mine. I grab him to come closer to me. He's on top of me then suddenly his lips are on mine.

He cups my face kissing me softly and slow. I felt wetness start to form, that's when I knew I had to cut this off. We continue to kiss for another five minutes until there's a knock on the door. I jump up to fix my dress.

"Jake get up!" He sits up situating himself, Josh walks in fast.

"Hey I got you something to wear to sleep." Josh looks at us like we're prey.

"Thanks Josh, Jake was just making sure I knew where the bed was." I take the clothes and place them on the bed.

"Good night you two I'm going to get some sleep." I say but they both stand in their place. I look down at Jakes pants to only see a little bit of an erection. Omg. He notices then says his goodbye and stormed out.

Josh came closer to the bed where I began to sit on to collect my thoughts.

"You two weren't doing anything, right?" My cheeks turned the pinkest of pinks. I could feel them burning up.

"He just wanted to make sure I was comfortable in this room. No worries." I fake laugh. Josh gets up to close the door and locks it.

"I've been wanting to talk to you..."

"Josh of course, I'm just not in the right head space." I giggle taking off my dress.

"Let me help you." He helps me get dressed in what he brought me. I get into the blankets to be followed by Josh.

I just kissed his brother and now Josh is in bed with me. I sound like a whore.

"Josh I'm so drunk right now, everything is spinning." I turn to him lying on his chest.

"Close your eyes and breathe. Focus on your breath." He began to caress my cheek putting me in a daze.

"I will have you all to myself again, you'll see."

All I remember was his voice and I was sound asleep.

Jakes POV

As soon as I ran to my room I shut the door and locked it quick. I don't remember Y/n ever looking like this, so different. I couldn't wrap my head around it, but I wanted her. I lay on the bed to find my hands around my belt buckle, to only undo them. I unzip them throwing them to the side.

I'm so hard and for her. I've kissed her before but this was different. She was hungry for my lips as was I.

My hand starts to slowly move up and down on my member, picking up the pace as I picture her sweet lips. I hold in all my noises but I wanted to be loud, for her. The pace is quicker but in a rhythm, my eyes screw shut as I begin to climax.

"Fuuck, Y/n." I say in a loud whisper.

I keep my eyes closed, the sheets are ruined. I catch my breath, wiping my sweat away. I'll change them in the morning but reconsidering it. What if she comes in here I have to change them.

I change the sheets heading to the shower. I'm glad she's actually here now, home.

The next morning…

YOUR POV

I blink slowly not wanting to open my eyes. The window is drawing in light, making the room look smokey. I open my eyes to try to move but I'm stuck in place. Josh is holding onto me for dear life, I stare at him for a moment. He looks so at peace sleeping, so beautiful.

I manage to escape and head to the bathroom. I fix my face a little and used some mouthwash, but I needed to go home and shower. I make my way in the bedroom to find Josh wide awake. He has briefs on and I can clearly see the morning wood he has provided for me.

Of fuck...

"Good morning love." Josh says in a raspy morning voice, sending shivers down my spine.

"Morning, I'm just collecting my things to leave."

I try not to stare at him but it's so hard to not look his direction.

"Leaving so suddenly?" He looks up at you then back down to his cock.

I gulp. Loudly at that, I make my way to the bed.

"Just trying to leave before everyone gets up."

I continue to stare at his erected cock. I glance away until I'm pulled on top of him.

"Josh the door is literally wide open." I get up to finally collect my belongings.

"Stay a little longer Y/n, please?" He looks at me with those eyes, but I'm not convinced.

"Josh... I'll see you tonight? I have to get to work soon."

I smile softly back at him and kissed his cheek.

I'm an idiot for turning him down but let's be real here, I just met back up with them after 4 years. It's all too soon for you. Plus Jake was heavy on your mind, maybe it was Jakes turn to have a chance with you. Everything is getting messy fast.

"Okay fine, tonight it is! Do you even have a ride?" He gets up to get dressed. I answer fast.

"No." I laugh while looking down. I want to leave so bad but don't have a ride, I'll just Uber.

"I can drop you off, it's not a problem."

"Only if you're sure Josh, I can call for a ride." I stare at him up and down trying to just focus on his face. I bite down on my lip.

"I'm taking you!" He guides me out as we head down stairs.

If Jake is down there he's going to think I slept with Josh. Which I didn't. Why was I so focused on his opinion anyways. Hmm.

We reach down the stairs and of course they are all up making breakfast, Sam was playing a little bit of piano. It's literally 10am, insane.

I sped up to get away from Josh to say my goodbyes to sam.

"Bye Daniel I'll see you later, work awaits for me."

I sigh hugging my best friend. He's too fucking tall.

I get to Jake and hug him goodbye. He hugged me back tightly, pulling apart to face me. I stare in his eyes and blush.

"Nice seeing you Jake." I wave him goodbye.

Josh is dragging me away as they all wave us goodbye.

Josh is walking so fast we get to the car but Josh opens my door for me. He's trying really hard. He left me, and that was that. He didn't say why either I didn't get it. Now he wants to try to get with me... I just don't know how I feel about it at all.

"Thank you." I smile at him looking outside the window I see Jake. Looking right out the kitchen window, his eyes are on me. I can barely see him but I see him waving me off. I roll my window down.

"Byeee!" Waving back at him to only pull out the driving way fast.

Josh drops me off, I wave him off.

"Thanks for everything last night." I say leaning down at the car window.

"Of course, I don't mind. I'll have dinner ready tonight after work. So you don't starve." He laughs showing his teeth.

"I'll take it! Bye Josh." I turn away to go inside. He waits to drive off before seeing me go inside. Such a gentlemen.

I proceed to get ready and head to work, getting excited for tonight I can't wait.

Work always exited me in a damn office sitting all day. That's the writers life though! I was in such a great mood, I knew tonight was going to be amazing.

Josh's POV

I get home and find Jake immediately. Between his interaction with Y/n, it was strange. I didn't like it at all. If he's trying to get with her I swear, he's had his chances way before. I know I just called things off with her but after seeing her in years, she's changed. What is so different about her, she's more to herself for sure. I needed to crack what she had sealed closed, I'm going to have her. I need her...

"Jake we need to talk!" I shout finding him on the couch with his guitar.

"Why are you screaming?" He looks at me while setting his guitar in its case.

"I need to know.. I need to know if you're into her." I say as calmly as I could staring at Jake.

"Into who? You need to be more clear, Joshua." He rolls his eyes. He fucking knows who, damn it.

"Jake, don't play stupid. I seen the way you were looking at her." I swallow.

"What about last night on the couch, then in the bedroom!"

"Calm down Josh. You've had your chance. You think she's into me?" He smirks. What's an asshole.

"Seriously. I'm the one who dated her, I know her deeper than you know." I'm beyond pissed at this point. Furious! How dare he.

"Look, I think she's into me. I mean she did kiss me last night." She what? With Jake...

"It's not our first kiss either, and it won't be our last. I'm sorry Josh. I like, like her."

My head was racing so fast, I needed to cool down. I stormed off into the kitchen, grabbing a whole bottle of alcohol. No wonder she was acting distant towards me because, she had Jake on her mind this whole time. I'm still going to try to win her back. No girl has ever came between us before, I hated fighting with my brother.

I start to chug the bottle and feel at ease now. Let my mind win over my thoughts, my body taking over. I head down to start to cook for Y/n, I told her dinner would be ready when she had got here. I'm still going to cook for her, I'll have Sam and Danny help me. I don't even want to look at Jake.

Your POV

I'm home yay. I shower to get ready for tonight. I will be letting Josh know that I just wanna be friends with him, nothing more. To say that I will be giving Jake a chance, I'm so nervous to tell him.

Got me blushing like a school girl over here. I don't wear anything to showing but, I loved my crop tops with my jeans.

I just wore my hair down from the shower and grabbed my keys. I'm gonna drive my car this time so I have a ride home.

I text Daniel to send me the address, he sends it back to me quickly. I head over to Josh's house blasting my music.

I arrive after what seams like forever, I knock on the door.

"Hey Y/n!" Jake takes me in to hug him.

"You're squishing me." I giggle.

He releases me then we enter.

"Where's Danny?" I look around but no where to be spotted.

"They're all outside having a smoke. Want a drink?"

"Sure, I'm gonna go find him. I miss my bestie." I soon find my way outside to Danny.

"Hey guys." I smile and hug Dan.

Josh seems off whispering in Sam's ear. Did I miss something?

I sit down to be greeted with Jake bringing me a beer. It wasn't my favorite, but it'll do. He sits next to me making this tension worse. Josh looks this way.

"Dinners ready if you're hungry Y/n." Sam says loudly.

"Sure! Who cooked." I got up heading inside.

"Josh and I." Sam had stated. I smiled even bigger. Awe.

"Hey I helped!" Danny says in defense. I feel so lucky to have a home cooked meal, ready for me after work.

"Thank you all, you guys have been nothing but nice to me." I sit down at the table.

Josh serves my plate and chooses to sit next to me. Of course he does.

We're all eating and I feel something up my leg. Jake is sat across from me, I know it's him. I clear my throat to speak.

"Lovely dinner everyone."

I'm enjoying my meal right now, it's so good. His foot is toying with mine.

I got goosebumps immediately. I stare into his eyes as he licks his lips. Tease.

This dinner is going to be interesting, and it was.

THIS WHOLE SECTION IS ALL SMUT. 18+ ADVISED! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! JAKE KISZKA SMUT AHEAD!

FOREPLAY, UNPROTECTED SEX, PENETRATION, AND FLUFFY SMUT. BEWARE!!!!!

Your POV

My eyes are on Jake all night, slowly chewing my food but hungry for him. Our facial expressions showed great desperation as we teased each other. The way he keeps toying with his bottom lip, staring straight into my soul.

My panties are completely soaked. I finish my plate looking around to see everyone is done too.

"Thank you!" I say to the boys getting up to head to the kitchen.

I start the sink to wash the dishes.

"We have a dishwasher you know." Josh smiles walking into the kitchen with me.

"It's okay I was getting them out of the way. I don't mind."

I continue to wash every dish and of course my stomach is wet. Every time it doesn't fail me. I laugh to myself. Josh helps me by drying it off then dries the dishes to put them away. I'm blush a little. Wtf!

"Wanna smoke?" Jake comes in with a few joints rolled.

"Yes of course!" My smile grows big as I turn back to josh.

"You coming Joshie?" I stare at him.

"No you two enjoy it, I'm going to take a shower." He slowly walks away upstairs. He disappears into the darkness, I'm now left with Jake.

"His loss anyways." He scoffs under his breath.

"Should we ask if Danny and Sam wanna join?" I look at him hoping to not agree.

"Eh, they can roll their own if they wanna smoke."

Jake laughs as we go out back.

It's so beautiful back here. I choose to sit on the grass, taking my shoes off. Jake joins me on the ground taking his shoes off as well. He puts the joint to his mouth so effortlessly, he then brings the lighter up to it while sparking it slowly with his thumb. He french inhales his first hit, the way the smoke lingered around his septum making him look so hot.

He was so sexy I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. He passes it to me, I take it lightly while bringing it in to my lips. I inhale turning to Jake, dragging my head down to his lips. I place my lips on his as I blow my smoke into his mouth, sloooowly.

After he inhaled my smoke he brought it into a kiss.

Nice and slow this moment was, so relaxing and hot.

We finish the joint and lie completely down onto the grass, on our backs. The stars shine so bright for us, the moon is literally a full fucking moon, so mesmerizing.

Jake places his hand on mine touching slowly. Running circles on the top of my hand, making me slip a moan.

"I-I'm sorry." I bite down on my lip, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

He turns to me cupping my face.

"Hey don't be sorry, you look incredibly beautiful right now. I could stare at you all night."

He stares into my eyes while I do the same. He leans closer to me while I place my lips on his.

It starts slow until he presses his tongue through, battling for dominance.

Our heads are moving in sync, he bites down on my lower lip. A little moan escapes my mouth. I move closer to him until I shift on top of him.

I grind down onto his hips slowly, making him grunt beneath me. I felt something poking me from his pants.

"Jacob...." I say in a whisper playing with his belt buckle, going back down to kiss him hard.

"I need to talk to you." I sit up on him rolling off.

"Are you okay?" He wipes his lips while they throb. He looks at me worriedly.

"Y-yeah. I was thinking... What you said yesterday. I'm willing to give you a chance Jacob." I say shyly looking at him under the moon light.

"Really! It would be such a honor."

His whole facial expression says it all.

"What am I the queen!" I burst out laughing kissing him one more time before getting up.

"Let's go before they get suspicious."

I help Jake up but he brings me into a kiss on his leg. Just like the movies. I smile into the kiss biting down on his lip before pulling away.

"I will never forget this feeling I feel with you." Jake pulls me in close.

"Me either. It doesn't seem real." I giggle as we head inside.

"Hey we're going to this bar down the street you guys wanna go?" Daniel says to me as soon as I walked inside.

I turn to Jake giving him the eye look. Hopefully he gets it.

"I'm gonna stay in relax, maybe shower." Jake states while sitting on the couch.

"I'm gonna head home and get some rest. Thanks again for dinner!"

I smile hugging them all bye, but Josh's hug was extra long. Jake is staring us down but it's not like that.

"Bye Y/nnnn, you're more than welcome to stay the night." Josh smiles while walking out the front door.

"I'll keep that in mind." I laugh. Jake gets up to lock the door as they leave the driveway. His eyes dart to mine.

"We're alone." He says in a devilish tone. Oh, baby!

"Yeeeah, we are huh?"

My eyes are on his, he starts to walk up the stairs. I swallow hard and proceed to follow him. He goes into his room turning on his record player.

"Such good vibes right now, not gonna lie." I walk closer to him pinning him up against the wall.

My hands find their way to his hair to rub lightly. His eyes roll back, I start placing my lips on his moving slowly. His hands are roaming my waist while mine are grabbing to whatever they want. He walks forward making me move and stumble when I hit the bed.

Jake picks me up around his waist and throws me onto it, fuck!

My legs wrap around him bringing him in closer. I can feel him under me, he was so hard. My hands find his belt to only undo it. I unbutton his pants while unzipping them slowly. I rush to pull his pants down but struggling.

"Here let me help silly."

Jake laughs tugging his pants down. I blush hard moving my hips back and forth on him. Our groins are rubbing against each other, making me so wet. I take my top off to reveal my perky tits to him. He immediately gropes them in his hands pulling them to his lips to kiss them, My head instantly rolls back with pleasure.

I flip us over so I'm in control, I start to lick slow by his ear. He grabs my ass in my jeans but not satisfied.

"These need to be off. NOW!" He rips my pants open, breaking my zipper. They fling across the room hitting the blinds.

"Jake, wtf!"

I wine but too focused on him. He mouths sorry while grabbing my ass only to smack it, hard.

"Uhh, shit!" I moan out loud knowing damn well no one is here.

"Again Jacob, slap my ass!" I grind harder into him, our wetness was creating a mess under us.

He slaps my ass again but harder, leaving his thick handprint on my right cheek.

"Ahh fuck, Jacob!" I grind harder bringing my head down to kiss him with my tongue. He moans into my mouth I reach down to squeeze his ass. The sound that escapes his mouth sends me over.

"T-that was so sexy." I kiss him even harder slightly tugging on his hair a little bit harder. He continues to bite my lip until I start to trail my tongue down to his chest. I circle my tongue around his nipple giving it a little nibble.

"You're extra grabby, keep doing it!" Jake says in a low but deep whisper.

I start to suck on them before trailing my tongue down further to his stomach. I place my lips softly around his skin to form a hickey getting closer to his cock. I take my teeth to slide his boxers down slowly and off of him.

His cock sprung up to his stomach, surprising me.

His cock was so hard and thick, leaking pre-cum.

Holy. Fucking. Shit! I'm a leaking mess as well.

I kiss the tip of his cock slowly bringing him into my mouth. I look right in his eyes as he places his hands in my hair to push it out the way.

He pushes my head down further so I can take him in, deeper. One of my hands fumble with his balls while my other hand is gliding up and down with wetness. I bob my head at a faster pace, gagging a little. He pulls my head away making a mess with my saliva and his juices.

"Did I do something wrong?" I ask out of breath wiping my mouth off.

"No.. I need to feel you. I need to taste you."

With that he flipped us over to remove my panties. Exposing all my wetness. My pussy was shinning and glistening from the moon at the window, making Jake stroke his own cock looking down at me. My legs are now spread as I lie down onto the bed, naked might I add. My fingers wonder to my center, rubbing up and down collecting my juices.

Jake immediately rushes down gulping me in.

"Sh-shit.!" I begin to rock my hips into his face with my swollen clit.

His tongue slowly circles my sweet spot, as my hands find their way into his luscious locks. I tug a little harder, causing a low grunt to escape those plump lips. Everything about Jacob was always such a turn on.

My eyes are rolling back, as he enters his finger while sucking onto my clit. I moan out in desperation, longing for something more.

"Jaaaake, yesss right there.. Mmmm, I'm so close." I manage to get out without squealing. My legs hook him in closer to devour me whole. He focuses his tongue as it glides up to my clit, then right back down slowly to my hole. He's sucking it at such a nice pace, I'm about to cum. I look down at him as he's already looking at me from that angle.

"Fuck... this feels so good baby. Uhhhh."

I shout before he rips away from me hurriedly, to look through the night stand. My face heats up with the loss of his soft lips on my wet pussy. I begin to rub myself thinking about his lips, I could cum alone with thinking about just that honestly. I'm shortly interrupted.

"Why so quiet over there?" He comes back to the bed with a condom in his hand, looking me up and down. I shut my legs tight to hold back the pain.

"Your lips.' I giggle to myself looking right at him.

"My lips, you're so bold today. I'm loving it." Jake leans in closer to you kissing you softly before trailing to your ear. He opens your legs to spread them slow.

"I will always treasure our special moments Y/N, to have you this vulnerable and comfortable makes my heart happy." He trails down further kissing my neck, sucking lightly. A loud moan escapes, echoing through the whole room.

I smile while I am even more turned on that he treasures our moments. To see him at this intimate level is beyond special. He tears open the rubber placing it on his hardened cock. I don't know how I'm gonna take him, I mean come on. My mouth fell open in awe.

"I'm happy I can deliver you with such thoughts and happiness. You're so special to me." I say before he enters into me slowly, placing his thumb across your clit to rub it.

I wince a little, spreading my legs further before he spits onto me making it more easier. My hands grab his back to push him closer onto me. His thrust are slow but the pace is quickening.

"You're so tight, jeez. I'm not gonna last long." Jake continues to say before I kiss him hard and passionately. He pushes into me hard grasping my thighs, leaving prints behind.

"Fuuuck Ja-ake!" He begins to take himself out slowly to only plunge back into me hard and fast. The sexual tension has always been here and it's showing.

"You like my cock pounding your tight little pussy baby, hmm?"

I flip us over so I'm in control riding him hungrily.

"Yesss, you feel so fucking good inside me." I begin to rock my hips back and forth moaning for him, and only him.

"You're so sexy right now Y/N, incredible." His hands find their way to my breast as he kisses them hard. He sucks on my nipple causing me to pounce onto him harder, making a clapping noise. The vibration alone is about to have you come undone. I lean back lifting on my feet a little so he has a better angle of me on top of him. That's when he said fuck it.

"I need to feel you raw baby, I'll pull out I promise." I pull back forward to help him pull off that damn thing.

"I trust you Jacob." I slide back down slow feeling him bare inside me, I tighten my walls as his cock twitches slow.

"It's even better, I can feel all of you!" He shouts griping your hips guiding you to ride faster.

"I'm gonna cum jakey, fuuuck." I shout out closing my eyes shut tight, as I bounce closer to my orgasm. He holds me closer to him, thrusting into me so smoothly sending me off the edge.

"Ahhh fuck Jacob, I love you." I fall to his chest and cover my mouth.

"I'm sorry I don't know why I said that." I say shaky while still orgasming. My heart is racing, I'm trying to catch my breath. He's still pounding into me before flipping us over so I'm on my knees.

"I think.. I might... love you too." He says before slamming into me gathering my hair and pulling it back.

"Fuuck mee Jacob, shit." His thrust become slower before he pulls out and has me turn around.

"Right here." I point to my tits. He releases on my hardened nipples making them soft from his warm liquids. He's making the sexiest noises right now what on earth. My hands reach for my breast spreading all his cum everywhere. So warm and fresh, my finger scoops some up to try a taste.

"Mmm, you taste amazing Jake." I lick my lips staring at him, while he's panting on his back on the bed. I join him, still playing with the remaining cum on me smirking.

"Let's get you cleaned up love." He laughs into a smile looking at the sight of his liquids spilled all over me. I encourage him to lick it off, he finds my ass to playfully smack it.

We all of a sudden hear a loud bang, which is the front door. I think it's Josh.

"Jake what do we do, I think Josh is here." I panic to grab something off the floor, but end up falling and eating complete shit.

"Y/N, are you okay. What are you doing? It's okay, he won't mind at all." He giggles coming to my side to help me wipe his cum off of me.

"I'm sticky now haha." I slightly laugh trying to grab my clothes. They are flung across the room, and my pants are broken. Great.

"Jake you broke my bottoms, how am I supposed to leave?" I sigh but laugh it off. He hovers over me kissing me tenderly, before I roll us over so I'm on top.

I cup his face to kiss him with passion. I begin to rock my hips causing my wetness from down there to collect on Jakes cock. I pin his hands down with force.

"Round two?" I wink, biting my lip.

"I'm gonna need a minute, you sex beast- ."

With that moment Josh burst through the door, standing there staring at us for god knows how long.

"Well, well. Well... Lookie what we have here."

I hide behind Jake immediately, nearly had a heart attack.

"Josh get out! You can't just intrude in my door like that!" Jake seems far from upset, rather angry.

"No, no. I want whatever this is, that's going on here" I cover my face with embarrassment, trying to catch my breath.

"Josh... Can I just have this one girl to myself. Is it always going to be like this?" Jake grabs a blanket to cover us up, turning to me.

"Y/N, are you alright?" I nod but stay silent because I kind of led josh on here and there, now I'm in bed with his twin brother.

"Jacob, you know.. her and I have a little thing going on. Tell him Y/N." Josh blinks lightly at me as a glare at him.

"Jake... it's not like that at all. But yes I did flirt here and there with him. All before I knew I wanted to choose you Jake and only you." I say calmly to Jake while looking at Josh.

"C'mon Jake what do you say? I heard you guys and have been home for a while. I was getting so turned on, I wanted to make my presence known."

Josh is fucking crazy... my head is spinning I need a moment to reframe myself, mentally. This would be a dream come true honestly, not trying to sound like a whore but twins. Whew.

"I need to process this, I just came damn it!" I lay jokingly, looking into Jacob's eyes. He really doesn't want Josh to join in any part of this.

But I do. Hmm... I wonder what we all decide. I get up with my naked body walking confidently to the bathroom. They both stare at my ass as I leave the room. All I hear is them whispering about something, for the looks of it Josh wants me. I had no idea.

What am I getting myself into right now.

Lufia & the Fortress of Doom - Review

Lufia is a Super Nintendo RPG published by Taito mere 2 months after Breath of Fire 1, in June of 1993, and like with Breath of Fire, this was a game wanted to play for quite a long time, so I was quite excited about it.

Because it is an RPG from the same era, I can't help but compare this game to Breath of Fire, which I'll do as the review goes along, but first I want to start by describing the plot of the game a bit.

The game starts at the end of the adventure of Maxim and his group, on their quest to defeat evil beings known as the Sinistrals, an evil group of beings that came out of nowhere and started wracking havoc around the world.

They succeed in defeating them, and we get text explaining that it's been 90 years since the Sinistrals were defeated and everything is at peace.

We now see a descendant of Maxim as a kid, meeting a lost girl called Lufia, except she's got no memory, she gets along with Maxim's descendant and the innkeeper decides to take care of her, since she doesn't have anywhere else to go.

9 years pass and the main character, now a soldier for his village, hears that a nearby village is under attack and goes alone to investigate, only to discover that is has already been destroyed.

He then comes back to his hometown to gather help, but no one besides lufia goes with him, when he arrives again he discovers that one of the Sinistrals is the cause of the destruction, and he swears to defeat them once more, starting his journey like his ancestor did almost 100 years ago.

The main plot itself isn't anything that unique by this point, evil entities show up, and your job is to beat them.

But what it has over Breath of Fire, is that there is a bunch of characters interacting with each other, from beginning to end, characters will at some points talk and reveal some aspects of their personalities, and the relationships they have between them, this is especially true with the main character and lufia.

The game also attempts to give the side characters some personality, even having NPCs that will reference another NPC in a different town.

There's also a bit of a personal motivation in the main character, as these are the enemies his ancestor fought so many years ago, and on top of that, the game has some twists that keep it interesting.

Still, this game still has sections where a lot of dialogue is just "go here, do that, or get that" proceeded with what basically are fetch quests to get further into the game.

In general, it's a step ahead of Breath of Fire 1, and I would recommend it over it for this reason alone, but I would lie if I said the plot stays interesting for every moment of the game, it has some slow parts.

Now, moving over to the gameplay, the combat is a basic turn-based battle system, with a few quirks, like with most RPGs, your basic options are to attack, to use an item, cast a spell, guard, or run.

Both normal attacks and magic spells are extremely important, when you first get lufia into your party her strength is very lacking but her spells really pack a punch.

On top of this, there's some equipable rings that amplify the effect of various spell types, so magic as an offensive tool is very valuable in this game.

The support spells also play a big role in the gameplay, mostly on bosses though, but it's very nice that they do play a role at all.

The first quirk is how you operate the menu in battle, to access an option you need to hold a direction and then press A, this makes menuing in battles feel more fluid when you get used to this system, only requiring holding a direction and pressing A, as opposed to pressing a direction multiple times to select an option.

Sure, there's still menuing left to do when you need to pick a spell or an item, and I'm kind of making a big deal out of a small feature, but in the grand scheme of things, this small feature could end up saving a lot of minutes after the hundreds of battles you will have to face.

Menus in RPGs are an often overlooked part of this genre of games, bad menus could and will lead to a lot of wasted time, so as far as I know, this is one of the first attempts at making menuing faster and more fluid, at least in the battles.

To get the rest of the menus out of the way, I'll just quickly mention that shop menus are alright too, they let you see what effects the equipment will have on your stats, and lets you purchase and sell items in bulk, and even if the inventory is similar to breath of fire, it's much easier to navigate and organize.

A thing breath of fire had over lufia though, is that you were able to map a specific menu to any button you wanted, having the spells and items menus ready with just a button, even if there was almost no reason to check all the other menus, it was nice that you could do this.

Now coming back to the actual gameplay, random encounters pose danger as opposed to being just time wasters, they can, and will often k.o. some of your party members if you don't play your cards right, so there is planning required on every fight.

You need to be even more careful because attacks don't track to another enemy when the enemy you selected dies before the character gets to act, so in order to be optimal and have the danger be at a minimum, you also have to be aware of how strong your characters are and have an idea of how much hp a monster has.

However there's a problem with this, and that's the other quirk the battle system has, and it's that the turn orders are not consistent, the actions you pick don't start after selecting them, or after your whole team selects them.

The speed and weight stats influence the order, a character might be fast to get their turn first and attack just after you pick their action, but a lot of times you will pick to attack an enemy, and the character will take so long to act, by the time it acts the enemy is long gone.

With random battles that pose a risk, the way the game handles the turn order can make it a bit frustrating, this isn't a problem in boss battles though, and you can take advantage of all the options you have in them, but it is rough on the random battles.

You also can't select a specific enemy sometimes, since enemies come in groups of the same types or as a single unit, and when you pick a group it randomly selects 1 of the enemies, making spells that hit a certain group of enemies, or all enemies very valuable, but making it tedious to deal with if you don't have any available.

The battle system isn't perfect, but at least it demands your attention which I think is better than mindlessly pressing the A button over and over again.

Encounter rates however, do be kind of rough, you can take less than 5 steps and a random encounter will pop up, there's an item called sweet water that lowers the encounter rate, and it kind of feels like the encounter rate that should have been from the start, I used it for most of the time in my playthrough and I had to do virtually no grinding, so I really recommend getting quite a lot of those to not get frustrated while traveling the overworld or a dungeon.

That's pretty much everything related to the actual gameplay, and I gotta say that I prefer it much more to breath of fire, even if it has some issues.

The graphics are not outstanding, with most dungeons looking exactly the same, but with a different color, cities, and castles also look the same, the only exception to this is the final dungeon.

The enemy sprites have nothing wrong with them, but all of them got a slight shaking animation applied to them, and I don't feel like they add anything, I feel like it would have been better if they were static, and only moved when doing an attack or a spell, it just looks awkward the way it is.

Bosses are static though, and some have glowing colors that look very cool, breath of fire might be better looking, but I think graphics are one of the least important aspects of an RPG, and the gameplay on this game, in general, is much better than Breath of Fire's in my opinion.

Now, would I recommend this game? again, like in Breath of Fire, I would only recommend it if

A) you really like old RPGs.

B) you like playing a series from the start instead of jumping to the actual good games in it.

C) you need a game to grind while watching videos or a stream.

Because there's lots of better games out there already, but the way I am, I like seeing the improvements they do on the following games of a series, and even then, I found it much more enjoyable than Breath of Fire, engaging combat and characters actually interacting was a breath of fresh air (no pun intended).

This week’s reviews ask the question: Who’s the king of the roost? Is it the talented but unmotivated boxer, Yu? Kaboku’s high school dance club? Or is it an actual rooster? Plus, we’ve got a fujoshi princess who’s clueless, high school boys palling around, and Hachiken tutoring his crush while avoiding his parents. Read on for our recommendations on this wide variety of manga volumes!

The Boxer (Vol. 1) • The Princess of Convenient Plot Devices (Vol. 1) • Rainbow Days (Vol. 2) • Rooster Fighter (Vol. 3) • Silver Spoon (Vol. 9) • Wandance (Vol. 3)

-----

The Boxer, Manga Vol. 1

I have to laugh because I made a new year’s resolution to read more shojo manga, but shortly after I made that goal, I picked up The Boxer instead! Ha! I absolutely loved this first volume, though! The beginning follows a young man who bullies the main character, Yu, but the story ultimately centers around Yu being approached by a coach of multiple boxing champions and asking him if he wants to become a boxer. However, Yu doesn’t appear to have any joy or purpose in his life, as he never fights back when bullied or shows interest in boxing when asked. Coach K thinks Yu has overwhelming potential to become a boxing legend, but what will push Yu to even think about boxing, let alone start boxing? While I originally was interested in this story after meeting the antagonist in the webcomic on WebToons, I quickly found myself sucked in and wanting to see Yu’s “awakening” and the antagonist get completely thrashed by him. While I won’t comment on whether my expectations were met (because of spoilers), there were many pages with Yu that were extremely impactful. I felt JH did an incredible job of conveying Yu’s emotions in multiple places where you can feel the energy and tension: something is changing inside Yu and that the antagonist better watch out. I am definitely hooked and invested in this series and glad I already preordered volume two before even starting this volume. I must know and see what happens next! I highly recommend The Boxer if you like boxing/fighting, underdogs, and great action! ~ @lauraagrace

The Boxer is published by IZE Press, an imprint of Yen Press.

The Princess of Convenient Plot Devices, Light Novel Vol. 1

The Princess of Convenient Plot Devices is divided into two tonally disparate pieces which work together to create an unexpectedly engaging read. It begins with a “fujoshi reborn into a BL game” setup, with a “convenient plot device”: as a side character in this story, said fujoshi will eventually be forced into a marriage of convenience; her future children will adopted by her brother and his male wife. I was not loving the series at first. It seemed bland and featured an obnoxious lead character in Octavia (formerly Maki). I eventually warmed up to her, though. When adopting her perspective, the action moves quickly, and Octavia’s thoughts are often funny, particularly when she’s dealing with the problem of being in a kingdom where any possible love interest is only interested in other men. If that were the entirety of the novel, it would be a breezy, if forgettable, read. But Octavia doesn’t realize that her actions and position, along with other machinations, are having serious and dire effects on the kingdom and possibly putting her in danger. Chapters not from the heroine’s point of view read more like A Song of Ice and Fire, full of danger and conspiracy, helping to shape Octavia’s main love interest as a fascinating character whose background is tied to said conspiracies. The more serious material emphasizes how oblivious Octavia is, creating a sense of concern for her; her obnoxiousness begins to rather seem more like innocence, and soon enough, I found myself pulling for rather than being annoyed by her. Ending at a crisp 166 pages, the volume concluded with me wanting more, and that is possibly what I expected least from yet another girl’s novel. What a captivating start! ~ @animepopheart

The Princess of Convenient Plot Devices is published by Yen Press.

Silver Spoon, Manga Vol. 9

Silver Spoon is a joy. Even when it deals with awful fathers, portrays families making hard sacrifices, and shows the entire process of slaughtering a pig you’ve raised, as this volume does, Silver Spoon does so with humor and optimistic energy. Reading Arakawa’s work is almost like taking a class with a master teacher: you absorb something wondrous (in this case, the wonderful lessons about life learned through Hachiken’s challenges at an agricultural high school) while still having fun. Volume nine is the equal of previous volumes in that regard, while also mining new territory as it nudges Hachiken and Aki closer and closer together. But I love that even though romance is in the air, Silver Spoon isn’t about romance. It’s about growing up. It’s a coming-of-age tale—one of the best that manga has to offer. If you haven’t read it, I encourage you to. And if you’ve only watched the anime, this is the volume to jump into, as volume nine covers the end of the animated series and takes the story a bit further along, too. ~ @animepopheart

Silver Spoon is published by Yen Press.

Rooster Fighter, Manga Vol. 3

Cock-A-Doodle-Do! Volume 3 of this strange but amusing ride with my favorite rooster Keiji and his friends continues, as they hunt giant demons that are devastating the nation of Japan whilst searching for his missing sister. As I mentioned in my review of volume two, the antics started to lose their initial impact because of the lack of progression in the plot, and that holds true for this entry as well. Watching a rooster take down a giant demon is fun, but after a few times the trick starts to get old. This volume gave the heroic poultry more interaction with humans and shared some of their struggles, which was a change in the right direction. Keiji’s personality starts to show some cracks in his tough facade as he loosens up with a new friend, and as he also starts to recognize his need for companions and to not do everything on his own. Character development is something I like to see in media, and Rooster Fighter has potential, but it needs to get the story train moving a little faster and I hope volume four does that! ~ @samuru

Rooster Fighter is published by VIZ Media

Rainbow Days, Manga Vol. 2

Rainbow Days features an unusual tone. On the one hand, it’s super sweet and cute—and on the other, it’s a little spicy. For instance, volume two goes from Natchan talking about his massive crush on Anna in one panel to Kei pulling out sadistic toys in the next. I’m not always interested in those latter qualities, but I like the series overall because of how well the friendships between the four main boys come together. Volume two finds Kei feeling lonesome and Natchan continuing to get closer to Anna, for instance, but the main focus isn’t on romance or any individual character; it’s on a loving, sweet, boys’ friendship. That said, I do like the pairing of Natchan and Anna, and there’s serious progress in this volume. Anna is becoming a fuller character as well, though my biggest knock on the series is that the girls generally aren’t very captivating. There’s a focus in one particular chapter on the three main girls introduced so far, but spending time with the three can’t make up for Mari’s obnoxiousness or Yukiko’s blandness. I’m hoping for improvement in their characterization in future volumes (and maybe the addition of another female character as a main—Chiba, introduced in volume two in a bit part, is already more interesting than Mari or Yukiko!). But even without that, the peaceful and humorous atmosphere centering on Natchan, Kei, Mattsun, and Tsuyopon makes Rainbow Days worth the read. ~ @animepopheart

Rainbow Days is published by VIZ Media through its Shojo Beat imprint.

Wandance, Manga Vol. 3

If the inter-high dance competition that kicks off volume three of Wandance creeps up quickly and ends in a surprising way, it’s because managaka Coffee intended it to be. As he subtly expresses (through one of the competition judges bemoaning how some clubs treat dance as sport), Wandance is not a sports anime. The competition isn’t the point. Then what is? That I’m not 100% clear on quite yet. It seems to be about Kabo learning to grow through his passion, but I’m still waiting to see him grow beyond the insecurities he has and to see Hikari develop more as a character as well. In the meantime, I continue to find this manga captivating, in large part because of the amazing artwork. Coffee has honed his style through these first few volumes, to the point where he’s able to convey the movement and power of dance extremely well through a variety of means: different styles of lines and shading, smudging, trailing, and more. There are many incredible panels in this volume, including a wondrous two-page spread later in the work. Taking a hint from our own Marg, who created a playlist for the volume, I listened to the music that the clubs danced to while reading this volume, and it turned Wandance into an even richer work. I highly recommend doing the same and continue to recommend this series, which is more dynamic and creative than simply calling it a “dance manga” might suggest. ~ @animepopheart

Wandance is published by Kodansha.

CONTRARY - FINN SHELBY X READER; PART 32

PUBLISHED: 04/07/2022

Part 1

MASTERLIST

TAGLIST

THIRD PERSON'S POV

You watched as your sister and her husband finished signing the last paper that they had to, using the bay window seat for help.

“Congratulations. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may seal this union with a kiss!” Jeremiah said, grinning widely at his son and his new daughter-in-law.

You, your Dad, Bonnie, Saoirse, and Finn cheered, clapped and whistled as the pair kissed each other in their nightclothes.

Your cat let out a yowl of protest at the noise, and your dog just barked happily along with you all.

Ezzie and Isiah hadn’t wanted to have a big flashy wedding. They decided to just sign the papers to make it official. A split second decision, of course, made at ten o’clock at night, which is why those two, you and Finn (the witnesses), as well as Jeremiah (the officiant), and your immediate family were now standing in your living room in your sleep clothes, the clock on the wall saying that it was closer to midnight than eleven o’clock.

Ezzie had called you at half past ten, pulling you out of your slumber and telling you to wake the fuck up and get ready because she was going to get married and you were going to be a witness. You had to put Finn’s Wellington boots on to go down to the river, a lantern in hand, to go and wake your father and brother up to tell them that Ezzie was coming to get married.

Your brother was annoyed, asking ‘Couldn’t it wait until sunrise?’

Your father had just chuckled and said ‘Apparently not.’

After getting back to the house, your brother and father in tow, you found Finn standing at the foot of the stairs, having woken up worried because he you weren’t by his side.

You had told him to go wake up Saoirse, and bring her downstairs, because Ezzie and Isiah, along with Jeremiah, were coming so Ezzie and Isiah could make the marriage official. He thought it was a dream until you took off his boot and whacked him with it to prove otherwise.

The room felt slightly cold, even with the fire starting to warm it up.

Jeremiah was smart enough to grab his fluffy black robe to cover himself, along with a pair of brown slippers to keep his feet warm. Your father never seemed to be bothered by the cold, hardened by many nights camping under the stars. Ezzie and Isiah were barefoot on the cold wooden floor, same as Finn. Saoirse and Bonnie were sharing the blanket from her bed, sitting side by side on the green rug. You had on a pair of socks, not liking having cold feet. You could stay warm if you feet were warm. Once your feet were cold, you were done for.

“Can the rest of the celebration wait until morning?” Saoirse asked sleepily, leaning against Bonnie, who chuckled and wrapped the blanket around his youngest sister.

“We’ve got voting for Tommy in the morning,” You reminded Saoirse, who nodded, eyes nearly closed.

You wouldn’t be able to vote, being sixteen, but everyone else in the room, bar Saoirse, could.

“We gonna have a drink before we go to bed? Or do you two just want to go straight home?” Bonnie asked his sister and his new brother in law.

“Let’s just have a cuppa, aye, Esmeralda?” Isiah asked your older sister, who nodded.

“Save the drink for tomorrow, Lord knows we won’t need any before then,” Your sister muttered, making you all chuckle.

You all moved into the kitchen, where Bonnie had started the fire after coming into the house. It was already roaring, the kitchen warm enough.

“The kettle will be boiled, I put it on just after making the fires,” Bonnie stated, helping Saoirse into a chair at the table.

“Good lad,” Your father said, clapping him on the shoulder, making your brother grin.

Bonnie had lit the fire in both of the guest bedrooms, too, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to walk back to camp after this. The cold night air would fuck him right up, he’d probably fall asleep on the way to camp. The ground was soft enough for him to do so.

You grabbed a few mugs and passed them out, Finn doing the same. You grabbed the chocolate powder out, as well as the tea and sugar. Saoirse would most likely have hot chocolate, and go straight to bed.

Everyone made their cups of tea, chattering away. Isiah was a bit quieter than usual, feeling slightly guilty that every other member of the Shelby family couldn’t come, but he remembered Ezzie’s words that it just wasn’t possible to get them all there without a struggle. It was true. The rest all had kids, and it was a big day tomorrow.

He had his best mate, the youngest Shelby sibling, here with him, and that was all that really mattered.

Saoirse was finally asleep in her chair, her hot chocolate finished.

“I wish I was still seven so I could get carried to bed,” Bonnie whined, head laid on the table as he bounced his leg to keep himself awake.

“I feel you,” Isiah replied, barely keeping himself upstanding as he leaned against your kitchen bench.

Finn snorted from his spot next to the cat in front of the fire. He could’ve fell asleep right there and then, the warmth washing over him proving to be an amazing feeling.

“Should we all just sleep here and fuck off in the morning?” Ezzie suggested from her spot next to her husband, and everyone said tired words of agreement.

“We’ve two guest bedrooms, and Saoirse’s got a king sized bed, but we can put her in with us to make room.” You said, rinsing all of the mugs, the warm water running over your hands making you feel sleepy.

“Jeremiah and the newlyweds can take the guest rooms, son and I can take Saoirse’s room,” Aberama announced, and Bonnie got up from the table, supported by Aberama, and headed upstairs.

Bonnie, in his sleepy state, could’ve laughed as Aberama helped make him comfy in the bed. He supposed you were never too old for your dad to tuck you in.

Ezzie and Isiah headed to the downstairs guest bedroom, and Jeremiah went to the upstairs one. Finn lifted your sister bridal style with ease, and took her upstairs. You ushered the animals upstairs, and they went to their beds in your room. You settled in to bed next to your sister, Finn already snoring on the other side of her, and as soon as your head hit the pillow, you were asleep.

•••

“You don’t fuck about, that’s for sure,” Polly said, chuckling as Ezzie showed the older woman her new diamond ring.

It was a small diamond, but a diamond nonetheless. Ezzie hadn’t wanted a big diamond, anyway, Isiah knew that. She only wanted him.

You were all at Polly’s house, in the sitting room. Ezzie and Isiah went to Polly’s, and announced their marriage to the older woman, who then called everyone else over so the pair could tell them the good news. You, Finn, Aberama, Bonnie, Jeremiah, and Saoirse had come to Polly’s not long after, having to get into town to vote, anyway.

Once Isiah and Ezzie told the rest of the family, Arthur, Tommy, and Ada were overjoyed. They had watched Isiah grow up. He deserved a good woman, and a good woman your sister was. They could only stay for about fifteen minutes before going back to their respective houses and hotel suites, having to get ready for voting today.

“Did you have any time to consummate the marriage, then?” Polly teased, making Ezzie and Isiah shake their heads.

“We were too tired. We were fucking lucky to walk to bed,” Isiah answered, Ezzie laying her head on his chest.

“I think we only got about seven hours sleep last night,” Ezzie murmured, tapping her fingers against the green mug in her hands.

“Half ten at night they woke me up,” You complained, but grinned, showing the group it was good natured joking, “And then they decided to invite themselves to stay the night, the nerve of these two!”

“Ah yes, how annoying of us,” Your sister replied, coming over and pinching your cheek, the tea she had in her hand smelling amazing.

“Getoffofme,” You said, trying to squirm out of her iron grip, “I’ll mess your hair up.”

“You’ll not touch your sister’s hair, behave,” Your father warned the pair of you as he sipped on his third cup of coffee, an arm slung lazily around Polly’s waist.

You leaned down and took a drink of your sister’s tea, making her flick your forehead.

“Next time, ask,” Esmeralda scolded you, making you roll your eyes.

“Worse than fucking schoolchildren,” Polly snorted, and watched as you and your sister got closer to her lamp as you roughhoused playfully, “Watch out for that lamp!”

But, it was too late. You had yanked your face out of Ezzie’s grip, and your body followed, colliding with the lamp, sending it down to the floor with a dull ‘thud’.

You winced, looking down at the lamp, then over to the brown haired woman who looked less than pleased.

“Sorry, Poll,” Ezzie apologised as you picked the lamp up and put it where it belonged.

Your husband and Ezzie’s husband sniggered at you and Ezzie’s antics from their spot by the fireplace. Saoirse was dead to the world, curled up into a ball on the couch with Isiah’s coat covering her. Bonnie was laid down in Polly’s bedroom, sleeping his life away. Jeremiah was back at his house, twisting his hair again to make it look fresh.

“It’s alright, love,” The woman spoke, smiling softly at her.

Ezzie returned the grin, then looked at you.

“Now you apologise,” Ezzie demanded, making you look at you in shock.

“Me? You knocked over the lamp!” You replied, a bit too loudly.

Saoirse shifted in her sleep, making you all stop for a few seconds until you knew she’d stay asleep.

“You started it!” Ezzie hissed softly, making you roll her eyes but apologise to Polly for ‘Ez making me knock over your lamp’.

Finn went and sat down on the armchair. You followed your husband, sitting on the arm of the chair. Saoirse shifted once more, and stretched, then rubbed the sleep out of her eyes whilst yawning.

“Dadda?” She called, and Aberama was at her side in an instant.

“I feel like hazelnut chocolate spread,” She stated, making you all chuckle.

“Shall I go and get you some, then?” He replied, smiling at his youngest, who nodded.

Your father was forever wrapped around his children’s fingers. Whereas you scolded Saoirse for eating the hazelnut chocolate spread straight from the jar, Aberama just grabbed her a longer spoon so she could reach the bottom of the jar. He even spoon fed her the spread when she asked him to.

“I’ll go to Bonnie’s and get it, I’ll be back,” Aberama informed her, kissing her head, and Finn threw the man his car keys.

Saoirse whistled a three note whistle, making you look at her in confusion as your father returned the whistle.

“What does that one mean?” Polly asked, coming to sit on the arm of the couch, next to Saoirse.

Saoirse sat up, and snuggled into Polly’s side.

“Three notes, three words.” Saoirse mumbled, still half asleep.

Ezzie came over and put her mug under Saoirse’s mouth, knowing that the child must have been thirsty. Saoirse tilted her head back, and Ezzie followed with the mug, letting Saoirse drink the rest of her tea.

“I love you?” Polly questioned in reply, and Saoirse nodded.

Three notes, three words. You looked at your husband. Three squeezes, three words. You shifted so your mouth was next to your husband’s ear.

“Finn? Do your three squeezes mean three little words?” You asked the ginger haired boy, who blushed, not expecting to get caught out so soon.

“Yes,” Finn breathed in reply, turning to look at you.

“I love you too,” You murmured, and wasted no time closing the gap between his lips and yours.

“Since when the fuck do you two kiss?” Ezzie demanded to know, making you break away from your husband.

“Erm, since you and Isiah dropped the paint off. That day,” You informed your sister, feeling annoyed at how she ruined the mood.

“What? And you didn’t tell me?” She whined, feeling slightly betrayed.

“Yeah, Finn, why didn’t you tell us?” Isiah added, half joking.

You told Ezzie everything, and Finn told Isiah everything, but the pair of you had forgotten to pass on that little tidbit.

“Well you know now,” Finn grumbled, not feeling pleased at the way your sister had interrupted you and him.

“Love you,” Your sister said, grinning cheekily, making you roll your eyes.

She annoyed you, sometimes, but you truly did love her.

•••

You stood with Lizzie at the end of the staircase. She stayed outside with Ruby, in case she fussed inside, and you offered to stay with her, not wanting her to be alone, listening to the voice behind the closed door in anticipation.

“Ronald Carr, Conservative, 3,412. Bernard Hall, Liberal, 4,015. Michael Ross, Communist, 6,406. Thomas Shelby, Labour Party, 48,564.” The voice announced, and you cheered, giving Lizzie a side hug.

The crowd inside the hall went wild, cheering and whistling. The doors opened, and out came Tommy, followed by the rest of the Shelby family, as well as the Golds and the Jesuses.

“I now declare Thomas Shelby to be the new Labour Member of Parliament for the constituency of Birmingham South.” The voice continued as Tommy grabbed his handgun off of one of the doormen, putting it into its holster.

Lizzie made Ruby wave to her dad, then passed her to him once he came to a stop in front of her. Your own husband came and grabbed your hand, bringing it up to his mouth and giving your knuckles a soft kiss, then squeezed your hand thrice, a grin on his face.

You giggled at his antics, squeezing his hand three times in return, then followed the rest of your big, newfound family down the stone staircase.
