While this may be the end of the series for these two, I might still play around with a few drabbles. Thank you for letting me share my thoughts with you! It's been such a fun journey. Onward and upward (get it...elevators) to the next story.

The dimly lit hallway stretches endlessly in front of you.

A nice seductive touch to the night, you think.

With his large hand holding onto yours, Joel walks like a man on a mission.

His only goal is to get you tucked away into his room so he can finally have you, all of you.

The patterned paisley floor swirls under your feet as you get closer and closer to his room. Maybe it was the alcohol, but you’re pretty sure it was the electric charge between you two causing your senses to blend and play tricks on you.

You both walk fast, eager.

Just like that, you’re at the door.

Your breath comes out in ragged pants, and the heat between you two practically shimmers in the air.

You think you hear a muffled ping in your purse, but you can’t be sure. You’re too focused on Joel.

Joel, Joel, Joel, your mind thinks on repeat like a broken record, reminding you that you want one thing and one thing only.

He places one hand on the doorknob and dips the other into his suit jacket pocket to reveal a white keycard.

The beep the lock emits acts as a go-signal, like the sound of a shotgun at a race, and he’s pulling you through the threshold of the now open door to reveal a warmly lit and inviting space.

As the door falls shut behind you, he pins you against it, your lips meeting in a clash of urgency.

Your hands roam freely over his body, and you need more.

You push off of the door and urge him back into the room, only slightly stumbling over your heels as you do.

These things have got to go.

Lips still locked on his, you briefly open your eyes to step out of your heels when you see it – a large ottoman, up against the back wall of the room.

Suddenly, you’re the one in control.

With a firm push, you send him sprawling back onto the plush cushions. He hits them with a faint oof. The breadth of him spans wide, as he drapes his arms along the back of the ottoman, waiting with baited breath for what you’ll do next.

His eyes watch your silhouette, a tantalizing vision against the backdrop of the room, as your fingers dance with bold assurance at the hem of your dress.

A smirk curls your lips, and it blows Joel’s pupils open even wider.

You peel off your dress, and reveal yourself to him – braless, with only a thin scrape of fabric covering your lower half.

You toss the dress into the air, a forgotten memory.

You see lust flicker across his face as he watches the fabric pool on the floor.

At that moment, it’s not just a dress you’ve discarded; it’s all inhibitions, all rules, and all pretenses.

You walk closer to him, and lower yourself to your knees.

You place your seemingly tiny palms on his very large thighs and glide them up to meet his belt. You watch his face as you make quick work of unbuckling it.

Pants next, you pull the zipper down with a potent zzzrrrrp and slip them off, flinging them to meet your dress on the floor.

You pause to palm the length of him under the single piece of fabric left on him, before pulling his boxers down far enough for his cock to finally spring free.

The length of him slaps against his soft tummy, leaving a little smear of pre-cum in its wake.

You take his large member in your hand and begin to stroke it slow and rhythmically, admiring it’s size. Joel's head falls back as if to gaze at the ceiling – you’ve barely touched him and already he’s melting like putty.

You wet your lips, duck down to the base of his shaft, and plant a small kiss at the base of his cock.

“Don’t play w’me,” he torts.

“Wouldn’t dream of it,” you say with a wink.

You hum as you flatten your tongue and lick a long, wet stripe up the underside of his dick and stop at the top with your mouth open wide.

As you hold the tip of him in your mouth, your tongue darts out to taste the salty heady flavor of his pre-cum. You let the saliva pool and dribble out of your mouth for a moment, and then you finally take him.

Joel lets out a small grunt as you unhinge your jaw further to open your throat and take more of him. You move up and down, and one of Joel’s hands meets the back of your head, and he grabs a fistful of your hair.

With his grip on you, he begins to guide your mouth as he fiercely thrusts up.

Your head bobs up and down, trying to keep up with the pace of him, and tears begin to prickle in your eyes. You can feel your lips swelling. With the tip of his cock reaching the back of your throat, you let out a small gag and he pauses at the hilt.

“Fuck, baby,” Joel pants, “woulda put this mouth to good use long ago had I known you could do this.”

His praise melts you like cotton candy on a warm tongue.

He lets you continue to mouth fuck him just like that, lost in his own pleasure, when you reach up to cradle his balls.

Ooo, he likes that.

“Shit, gonna have to stop sweetheart or I’m gonna cum,” Joel huffs.

You stop.

You need him – down to the last drop – inside of you tonight.

You’d have to wait to taste him for another time.

Will there be a next time?

You let the silent wish float away as you rise from the floor, knees cherry red, not much unlike the cherries from your whiskey earlier at the bar. He stands and pulls you up the rest of the way by the undersides of your elbows.

He yanks your body to his, his wet and pulsing cock between you when suddenly both of his hands are on the underside of your ass and he yanks you up off the floor to straddle his ribs.

You let out an excited little yelp, not expecting to leave the floor, and wrap both arms around his shoulders.

Joel walks you across the room to the bed, planting kisses on your chest and breasts that rest so perfectly in his face as he does.

He stops when the front of his legs meet the edge of the bed, and he releases you, your back hitting the mattress with a small thud.

Joel crawls on top of you and pauses to momentarily hover over you.

This is it.

He’s finally going to fuck you.

Wrong.

He looks down between your bodies and begins to follow the path, using his tongue as a trail of bread crumbs back to your mouth all the way down your body, until he finds himself at the foot of the bed on his knees.

They hurt like hell, but he didn’t give a shit.

He grabs both of your ankles and pulls you closer to him.

“Told you I was gonna take my time with ya,” he whispers.

He plants soft kisses up your leg, your inner thigh, and finally pauses once he reaches your mound.

His thumbs come up to meet your hip bones. They grip the skimpy piece of fabric, and he slides them down off your legs.

He takes a small whiff before he throws them in the growing clothes pile.

You blush, partially out of embarrassment, but by the look on his face it does nothing but stoke the fire within him.

His tender tongue comes out to lap up your sweetness.

He makes small licks towards your slick entrance, and he stays on the outskirts of your folds, just barely pushing past them to where you want him to be.

Always such a fucking tease.

You buck your hips up to his face, and you’ve made your point.

He moves back up toward your clit, and begins to drag his tongue over you, working at you slowly, devouring every drop of you, igniting every one of your nerves down there as he does.

You grab a fistful of his hair, alternating between closing your eyes in sheer delight and looking down at the sight of him between your legs.

His grip on your thighs doesn’t relent. Neither does yours.

You cry out his name, but it comes out weak and wet.

Joel’s lips suck and lap at your clit, as he slowly begins to press one of his fingers inside.

“mmm, feels so good, more, please,” you say.

You know he loves his manners.

One becomes two.

“You’re so tight, baby,” he admires, “Gotta stretch you out, get you ready f’me.”

Two becomes three.

Your back naturally comes off the bed in a graceful arch as you feel him move inside you, his fingers gently curled as he scissored in and out, his mouth still on your sensitive nub.

He has you right where he wants you, on the verge of total release. You’re shaking, a woman drowning in the pleasure coursing through your veins.

Holy shit. You’ve never orgasmed so much from one man in your life, and certainly not like this.

A moan slips past your lips, and your mind goes foggy as your whole body stiffens. Joel rides out your orgasm with you and doesn’t stop until you totally soften under him, slightly shaking from overstimulation.

Joel lets his grip on your thighs fall, as he rises up, smile on his face, beard glistening from your release.

A devilish grin sweeps across his face. “Taste so sweet,” he compliments, before planting a kiss on your lips.

His head falls to the side of yours in the crook of your neck, his breath heavy.

The woody aroma of his cologne catches you once more, and you just can’t hold out anymore.

“Joel, I need you to fuck me. I need to feel you inside of me, please, I can’t wait anymore,” you beg.

You’re not one to ask for it so outwardly, not really, but Joel certainly has a special way of making you beg for it.

“You’ve got me, sweetheart.”

He takes his heavy cock in hand and notches his weeping tip at your entrance, and begins to push himself inside you.

He pauses a moment to let you adjust, but not for long, his patience wearing thin – Joel has waited far too long to know what you feel like.

He slowly backs the tip out, and you whine, but before you can say anything, he buries himself in you in one strong push.

Your face twists at the adjustment.

“Joel, fuck,” you pant, “so big.”

Joel loves the compliment.

He begins to fuck you in earnest, cashing in on his promise in the elevator to wreck you.

“I know, Darlin’,” he pants – “but you’re taking it so good.”

“Perfect,” he thrusts.

“Fucking,” he thrusts again.

“Cunt,” he slams into you this time.

You swear you see stars.

He slightly pulls back, but not all the way, and flips your right leg over your body to the left, and you’re straddling his lower torso like some sort of sexy pretzel.

He holds onto your right leg for leverage, as he begins to fuck you deep.

The sound your bodies make with each thrust is filthy.

You begin to bury your face into the bicep that rested on the bed, hands reaching for anything in their grasp as he stretches you out.

He brings his thumb to your clit once more, and you flinch – part pleasure, part pain.

You’re so fucked out already, but you can tell he isn’t going to let you off easy.

Still fucking you, his thumb makes slow circles on your swollen clit, bringing you back to full pressure.

“Fuck,” you cry, unable to finish your sentence before another intense orgasm hits you like a truck.

Joel slows, “there’s my good girl, being so good, coming all over me, felt so good,” he praises.

Joel flips you so you’re on your belly, and the he’s yanking you up by the creases of your hips into doggy.

His cock was fiercely hard, pumping in and out of you, just twitching with the need to release.

“Where do you want me, baby?” he asks.

“Inside me. I want you to come inside me. I want to feel all of you. I’m on the pill. Please.”

You and your begging tonight.

You don’t have to do much convincing.

A few quick more thrusts, and Joel is coming hard and fast, your pussy milking him of everything he’s got.

He collapses onto you, breath and body tense, before you both collapse onto the bed.

A long moment of comfortable silence passes, and he pulls out of you and rolls to his side.

He lifts his head to scan your face.

You’re a wreck.

He’s a wreck.

But you both look at each other like you’ve just seen the sunset for the first time.

Your heavy limbs and sleepy eyes begin to melt into the mattress, your body warm and gooey from the buzz of the night.

Joel collapses once more beside you, and his heavy arm drapes around your waist. He pulls you into his side and kisses your temple.

Without saying anything, you both let your eyelids fall, the events of the night catching up with you.

You both drift peacefully into sleep, only to find each other again in your dreams.

As dawn breaks, the first light of day slithers through the crack in the hotel's heavy curtains, refusing to acknowledge any societal norms of 'do not disturb'.

You flutter your eyelids open to a mess of tangled sheets and scattered clothing, a testament to a night lived passionately and unapologetically, on your own terms.

You stare at the ceiling, reminiscing about last night – you really fucked Joel Miller.

God, his cock.

You’re wet again just thinking about him.

You roll onto your side to face Joel and interlace both of your palms like a pillow under your cheek.

Joel’s still deep in slumber, giving you a quiet moment to soak in and admire how beautiful he truly is – his aquiline nose, his soft lips, his sun-kissed skin, the little freckles on his neck and chest.

The butterflies are back.

Your eyes dance over him, taking in the visuals of the crisp white sheets draped over his chiseled features, revealing the truly physical nature of his job.

Ugh, he’s so hot.

Just the sight of him once again causes the chorus of electric tingles to erupt in your belly, you feel a familiar tug at your navel.

You reach out to place your palm on his chest, and he emits a low grumble and stirs.

His heavy eyelids open and he notices you looking at - okay, eye fucking - him.

“Mornin’ beautiful,” he says with a smile, “See something you like?”

Before you can even clock what he’s doing, he’s got your entire body pulled onto his – chest to chest, face-to-face, both still naked from the night before.

“Yeah…you could say that,” you say as you greet his lips with your own.

That gentle peck morphs into something wild and fervent.

Your lips move in sync, parting and meeting in a rhythm that's as old as time and yet, so uniquely yours and Joel’s.

His massive cock throbs under you.

Looks like you aren’t the only one with a need this morning.

His hands move down to grip your hips, and he begins to grind himself against you.

“mmm, baby – I need you,” he growls into your shoulder. “Need to feel this tight pussy wrapped around me.”

God, you could hear him say that until the end of time and never tire of it.

You happily oblige his request.

You adjust your legs to straddle him and lift yourself up onto your knees as he lines himself up into your entrance. You sink down onto his length, your eyes falling shut as you do.

He’s so big. You pause to give yourself a moment to adjust, and then you find yourself pacing on him, expertly rolling your hips against his.

His hands hold you and he assists your rolls back and forth as you grind your clit against the coarse black hair surrounding his dick, teasing yourself with each move.

Mmm, that feels good.

Your slick makes his member so easy to roll up and down on, your tight walls squeezing and stroking him.

Joel watches you bounce on his cock, your breasts moving fluidly with the motion as one of his palms leaves your hips to grasp it. The added sensation of him playing with your nipple is intense.

You tilt your head back and let out a moan.

“Fuck,” Joel says, “Not gonna last much longer if you keep makin’ sweet sounds like that, sweetheart.”

Joel’s hand sweeps down from your breast, over the softness of your stomach. How is every touch from him so electrifying?

His fingers find your clit in the space between your sticky bodies.

As you ride him, the pressure of his fingers on your clit relentless, you feel the heat rise in your body. Your stomach begins to tense and you can feel your own orgasm not far off.

“Fuckkkkkk, Joel. I’m gonna co..” you trail off, and your vision goes white. You ride the wave of pleasure that extends from your head to your toes.

Hearing – no, feeling – your orgasm sends Joel over the edge.

As your walls pulse around him, his hands find a bruising grip on your ass. He begins to thrust hard and deep all the way to the edge of your cunt.

Your name leaves his mouth in a deep growl, as he finally lets his thick, milky release paint your cervix.

You fall forward, your body limp and sore, as he twitchs under you. Your combined heavy breaths begin to slow.

You pull off of him, sad to no longer have the stretch of him, but satisfied to still have part of him inside you.

As you both lay there in blissful silence, a ping from your phone draws you back to reality.

You lazily roll over and grab your phone from the nightstand.

It’s a text from your dad.

You hastily sit up, and a little rush of seed spills out onto the pristine white sheets beneath you.

“Good morning — just checking in to make sure you’re safe. Tommy mentioned you never called for a ride home last night. Congressmen Allen’s aid also told me she saw you get into an elevator with Joel around midnight?”

Shit.

Joel’s brows furrow as he looks at you, “What is it, Darlin’?”

Words fail you, so you pass the phone to let him read the message for himself.

It’s no use, he can’t read the screen without his reading glasses.

Why is that so hot?

As he reaches for the nightstand to grab them, his phone lights up and emits a beep.

He freezes momentarily, hand pausing right over the device. He takes a deep breath, grabs his glasses, then snags the phone. He unlocks it to find a text, also from your dad. His best friend.

“Were you with my daughter last night?”

Fuck.

FUCK.

Joel whips back to face you, and your wide eyes lock in a death grip.

The air is thick with tension as a silent “what the hell do we do!?” fills the room.

You sit there, facing each other, your faces a mirror of the other’s emotions.

But then, out of nowhere, you break out into laughter, letting a little snort go as you do.

Yeah, a good old-fashioned, unsexy snort.

It hangs in the air for a nanosecond, as does Joel’s confusion about your response.

Then you both explode into laughter.

You clutch your stomach, and tears stream down your face, and further little spurts of cum fall from your folds.

All that tension? Gone.

Because sometimes, life’s too short to take everything so seriously.

Sure, Joel was your dad’s best friend, but he was also a good man.

You know that.

Your dad sure as hell knows that.

And even Joel knows that, despite what he might think sometimes.

It’s not like you were a child, for fucks sake.

You are a grown woman, with a life, a job, and responsibilities.

You’re certainly old enough to know that good men are hard to come by in this city.

Without saying a word, Joel seemed to understand that you didn’t really care if your dad knew.

He didn’t care, either. Not really.

A final little breathless chuckle leaves your lungs, and the joint laughter dissipates and is replaced with calm.

Joel looks at you, the hungry and concerned eyes have gone, only to be replaced by something warmer.

With the morning sun shining through, you catch a different shade of amber you hadn’t noticed before.

He pushes a strand of hair out of your face and tucks it gently behind your ear, leaving his large palm on your cheek. His thumb meets your chin, and he pulls you in for a kiss.

It was tender. Soft.

No words were said, but it was in that moment that Joel knew that if he really were a smart man, he’d never let you go.

You’ll come clean to your dad.

You know him – it’ll be okay.

But first, you both need a shower.

For the first time, you don’t find yourself grumbling in the mirror as you get ready for another event.

Sure, there would still be the mind-numbing conversation, that you could count on.

But there would also be food, booze…and Joel.

You dawn a pretty pink dress, conveniently forget your underwear, and slip into your heels.

As you’re applying the finishing touches to your makeup, you look in the mirror and a large figure is perched up against your doorframe.

God, he looks good in a suit.

“You know, I meant what I said on the elevator – your body is gonna be the death of me. Look at you," the words come out sweet like honey.

You walk towards him, taking his large hand in yours. You pause there to feel the thickness of his fingers and rub the pads of your fingers over the rough calluses.

You drag his hand slowly up the top of your thigh, letting the dress gently bunch underneath his touch to reveal your smooth skin. When you reach the top, you hold him there and let him discover that you’re pleasantly wearing nothing underneath.

You feel him tense and the tips of his fingers barely graze where you so desperately want him to be.

But that would have to wait.

“Oh Joel,” you coo seductively, “I’m just getting started with you.” You say with a wink.

This time your words linger in his ears. A threat. A promise. A need.

Joel moans, and palms his growing length to adjust.

You both make a point to leave the apartment quickly, knowing if you stayed too long you’d both lose your resolve to attend the event.

You arrive, and interlace your palm over Joel’s bicep as he guides you through the threshold of the space.

You catch a few wandering, judgemental glances. You catch wind of hushed whispers as you begin to mingle.

Isn’t that the senator's daughter? Isn’t that his best friend?

You don’t care. This feels natural.

Just you and Joel.

You both work the crowd as you normally do, mingling through a series of separate and boring conversations.

Halfway through the night, your eyes lock across the room and Joel gives you that nod.

You know it’s not for just a drink this time.

Joel slips into the hallway.

You graciously excuse yourself from the dull conversation and set your champagne glass on an empty passed tray as you glide across the ballroom floor to follow him.

There he stands, palms interlaced behind his back.

Really pushing the fabric of that suit jacket to the limit, isn’t he? You think to yourself, already noticing a familiar stickiness between your thighs.

Fuck.

Joel's eyes are fixed on the elevator indicator on the wall in front of him as he patiently waits for you.

His broad frame turns as he hears your familiar steps come closer, and his big brown eyes catch yours in a silent hello.

Yeah. If looks could kill.

You swallow and gently bite your bottom lip.

The taste of the future, laced with sweet, raw, passionate love, is deliciously intoxicating.

The corners of your lips lift in a smile and a familiar blush returns to your cheeks as you walk closer to him, knowing what’s to come.

A soft bing echos through the lobby and the metal doors slowly open.

People shuffle off, and the robotic elevator voice reverbs through the air.

“In you go, sweetheart,” Joel says as he ushers you into the lift, his large palm once again finding its favorite resting spot on the small of your back.

You step into the small box and wait for others to join.

As luck would have it, once again, none do.

You glance up at Joel’s face and see a familiar need. That hunger. Pupils blown. Jaw tense.

“My turn,” falls from your lips.

By the time the elevator doors come to a full close, you’re already on your knees, ready to worship at the altar of the your gorgeous man.

This time, Joel Miller doesn’t just have 28 Floors with you.

He has forever.

Yuu really gave Malleus the push to kick off whatever he’s planning. The third years are going on their internships next year, Lilia’s dying or something and Yuu comes with they might’ve found a way to return home.

Yuu really said yes to Malleus' question of whether they would stay connected to their loved ones if there was a way to do so and now we may end up seeing an actual time loop or everyone being put to sleep gg Yuu

someone in a server also had this theory that Lilia's magic is less of disappearing and more of getting drained because he's been trying to keep Malleus' (and Silver's) curses at bay or something, and I think I want to piss myself after that.

and about the internships, when Idia expressed that Ortho won't be by his side ;;;;; lord I hate that so much

actually now that I have these things written down, Malleus and Idia are now connected by the loss of loved ones and the desire to keep them here with them .......... Idia either lecturing Malleus about acting out like how Rollo acted out in GloMas or Malleus asking Idia for help......... wowowowowow I can't wait

Ten | De Facto | Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Caroline "Casper" Kazansky

(18+, minors dni)

Masterlist

A/N: chapter 10 wowowowowow (fun fact this was chapter nine and was sitting in my drafts for so long I forgot I wrote it) I feel like I may be speeding up the flashback a bit towards the end here, but I hope you all enjoy :) feedback is always appreciated. happy reading!!!

x MJ

Creed can’t take his eyes off of Casper and Hangman as they stand on the tarmac talking. He stands above them in the ready room, wishing he could be a fly on the wall, listening in on their conversation. He wonders how the hell it started. One minute, she was sassing him into next week, and the next, she was in a good mood all the time–there were no warning signs at all. They seem professional at work, but that’s to be expected. If her dad were to find out she’s been sleeping with her instructor, it would end badly for both of them. He sort of hates the knowledge that he holds.

“Don’t worry about that.” Lieutenant Bailey says, coming up and patting Creed on the back as he stares down at the pair, too. He looks over to him as his eyebrows furrow in confusion. Does he know something Creed doesn’t? Nick chuckles at his expression before crossing his arms and keeping his eyes locked on his friend down below.

“I know you have a crush on Casper.” He says matter-of-factly. “And I know that Jake is just trying to stay on her good side because of the Admiral. He’s engaged, anyway.” He explains and the wheels in Evan’s brain are turning so quickly, he’s not sure he can keep up with the thoughts running through it.

“Engaged?”

“Talk to me.” Caz says sternly as she sits across from Evan at lunch. He’s not spoken to her since the start of training yesterday. Her sisters have been giving her the third degree because she refuses to admit that her and Jake are anything more than student and teacher, and she doesn’t need her best friend to do the same. He already knows, too, so she’s not sure he even has anything to be mad about.

Admittedly, Evan isn’t certain who he should be more upset at. He’s not even sure if Caz knows that Jake is engaged–he didn’t. Jake isn’t really one to open up about his personal life at work, and Evan really respects that about him–or did, until he found out about the mess he’s created with Caz. On the other hand, he knows that Caz isn’t the most morally sound person he’s ever met. She’s a bit of a maneater, which makes him pity Jake a bit, but then he’s mad at her again for getting involved with someone who isn’t available.

“Did you know that Hangman is engaged?” He breaks his silence, asking the question that’s been bothering him since yesterday. Caz doesn’t answer. Instead, she leans back in her chair and looks around, avoiding making eye contact with him. She doesn’t know how he found out, and it’s not something she wants to talk about–especially with him. “Seriously?” He lets out a frustrated chuckle.

The way he’s looking at her reminds her of the way her brother would look at her when he caught her sneaking in and out of the house when she was in high school, and he was on break from the Academy. Tom 2.0–that’s what everyone called him, and they weren’t wrong. Carter is a lot like their dad, but less…intense. At least, he’s always had more of a soft spot for her. He’d be devastated to hear what she’s been doing. Everyone would be.

“Look, it’s not what it seems.”

“Okay, then enlighten me on what it is, then.” She rolls her eyes at him. She hates being interrogated and talked down on, but she guesses she owes him at least something if he’s expected to keep their secret. She’d imagine Jake would be pretty upset if he knew that Creed knows.

So, she tells him–everything. The mostly innocent beginning, knowing that he’s been engaged the whole time, and even him being the one to initiate things. It doesn’t mean anything. She assures him that they’re both on the same page about that.

Evan isn’t so sure that he believes a word she’s saying about no feelings–it’s just human nature to feel connected with someone you spend a lot of time with. The two of them for example, they have that–feelings–for each other. They’re platonic feelings, though. They spend their time gossiping about their peers and motivating each other at work–not sneaking around sucking each other’s faces off. Those actions breed a whole different set of feelings. Feelings he knows she must have, or will have, by the end of this. Caz isn’t so different from anyone else. She likes to pretend that nothing bothers her, but he’s starting to realize it’s all a facade.

“I know I can’t tell you what to do, but just be careful…you’re a pilot, Caz, not an EOD.” He can barely hold in his small chuckle at the joke he pulls on the spot. She rolls her eyes playfully in response, reaching over the table to push his shoulder with her mouth open in offense.

“How long have you been sitting on that one?” She finally lets out a laugh, breathing a sigh of relief. It’s clear he’s not fully into the situation, but he’s right–there’s nothing he can do about it. She knows she needs to be careful, and she thinks she has been so far, other than the annoying slip up from July Fourth in front of her sisters, and apparently Creed’s incredible memory–she’s practically gold now.

Caz lays in bed and tries to ignore the growing worry in her stomach at the reminder that still hasn’t turned in her placement requests. As much as she doesn’t want to follow him to Virginia, she can’t help but wonder what it would be like. A lot like this, probably. Colder, definitely. She wouldn’t get to see him nearly as much then, but she’ll make friends, of course. She might even date around a little. It could work.

And then she wonders why she’s trying to make it work. Why is she creating this fake scenario in her head of following him, and his fiancee, to Virginia? Maybe it’s because she’s not ready for it to end–not ready to give him up forever. Sure, she’s never been one for a committed relationship, but that’s not what this thing with Jake is. They’re not up each other’s asses 24/7 with texts and phone calls. They live their lives separately and get together when they feel like it. It’s all so natural and casual and nothing like how she thinks relationships are.

So why does it feel like a little bit more?

Jake checks his watch for the thirtieth time tonight. 6:55. He’s still got five minutes until she’s supposed to be here. He looks around his minimally styled studio apartment and takes a deep breath. It’s usually pretty tidy, but he spent the whole morning deep cleaning in preparation for tonight. She’s been over before, but never like this–never for a date. Usually, they stumble in off a few beers and maybe a cigarette or two, and she leaves before he can open an eye in the morning–never looking around or taking in his space. Her moves are calculated and very impersonal for a reason.

There’s a fresh bouquet of flowers on the small bistro table, which is set to the best of his ability, the food is in the oven, keeping warm until they’re ready to eat, and two glasses of wine are at the bar, waiting to be filled. He’s proud of himself. He’s not put effort into something like this in a long time, and it feels good. He feels like a new man as he pads around the house in comfortable clothes, 70s music playing low in the background, and the perfect dinner waiting for them.

It’s 6:59 when Caroline knocks on the door, and Jake feels something shoot through him–maybe nervousness. He’s been anxious for her arrival since five. He walks over to the door quickly, throwing it open and smiling brightly at the beautiful face on the other side. Her cheeks are rosy from the hot, Southern Californian sun, and she wears the cutest little two piece lounge set he’s ever seen.

She’s by far the most laid back woman he’s ever been with. With Laurel, he could never plan something like this without her approval of the menu and the playlist and probably even his outfit. Maybe it’s just that he’s never tried before, but he never had to, honestly. She’s a planner and a control freak, and he didn’t care enough. Maybe that should’ve been a sign.

“Oh my God, it smells amazing in here.” Caz says as she enters the apartment, throwing down her bag and cardigan on the entryway bench by the door. He closes the door, and when he turns around to face her, she surprises him with a kiss. It’s innocent at first, but he’s too excited. He deepens it, grabbing either side of her waist with his hands and pushing his tongue into her mouth. She giggles slightly from the feeling of his cool fingers on her bare skin, and moves her hands from the back of his head to his shoulders before pushing away gently.

“Easy, cowboy. You have to wine and dine me first.” She winks at him before turning away and walking into the main part of the apartment. He watches her walk towards the bar and her fingers touch the label of the wine that he opened only minutes before she arrived. The thin, gold ring her grandmother gave her shines in the light from his kitchen. She wears it on the finger where an engagement ring should go–another nod to her defiance towards marriage and love and–

“Jake, how did you–” She cuts his thoughts off, stopping mid-sentence, her mind taking her back to last month when she told him about her favorite wine. It’s a red blend from a small winery in Napa. They don’t sell in stores this far south, meaning he had to take a trip to wine country to get it. She’s not even sure when he had the time, she’s been with him most of her days off and vice versa.

“It better be as good as you say. I got a whole case.” He grins from behind her, picking up the bottle of wine and pouring it carefully into her glass. When he’s finished filling both, he picks them both up and hands her one before raising his in the air. “Slainte.” She shakes her head, mind spinning as she repeats the Irish toast her family always uses and they clink their glasses together. He remembered that from July 4th.

After dinner, Jake insists on cleaning up by himself, so Caz takes a stroll around his apartment, inspecting what little he has laying around. She doesn’t mind being nosy in this setting, with him watching. She smiles when she reaches his record player and briefly looks through his vinyl collection. He’s got great taste. Her dad would like that about him. She stops when she reaches a small set of shelves. There are a few stacks of books and little knick knacks here and there, but the thing that stands out most is a framed photo.

Inside is a picture of Jake and the most beautiful woman she thinks she’s ever seen. It has to be Laurel. They’re on the beach, smiling brightly, and she’s showing off her left hand. It’s obviously the day he proposed. She turns her head towards the kitchen to make sure Jake is still busy tidying up, but he’s already finished and walking towards her with a big smile on his face that drops when he sees what she’s standing in front of.

“Is this her?” Caz asks, turning back towards the frame. She’s spent a fair bit of time at Jake’s, but she’s never really looked around. She wishes she hadn’t now. Her chest tightens–she’s not used to the feeling. She can’t tell if she feels more sad or more guilty. It weighs on her in a way she never could’ve imagined. Why does it feel like she can’t breathe all of a sudden?

Jake nods before gripping her shoulders lightly and turning her around to face him fully. He doesn’t want to talk about her right now…this night was supposed to be about the two of them.

“She’s beautiful.” Caz says softly, turning her head back to glance at the photo one more time. She’s never had a relationship last longer than a few months. She has no idea what it feels like to believe she’s in love, but if it’s anything close to the way she currently feels about Jake, she knows that this woman would be absolutely devastated to find out that her fiance has been sleeping with one of his students for the past few months.

“You’re beautiful.” He says, putting his hands on her neck and forcing her to face him. “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met. Inside and out and…” He trails off, not sure where he’s planning on going with that. He just knows that with her it’s different. It’s not like being with Laurel.

“You love her.” She states, looking up at Jake through her thick eyelashes. She knows better than to start a fight about this. She’s gone months without even thinking about the fiancee-sized elephant in the room, but putting a face to an idea of a person makes it more real. She’s mad and sad and maybe it’s guilt she’s feeling, but it’s also selfishness.

He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He loves Laurel, but he doesn’t think he’s ever been in love with her. He drops his hands from Caz’s face and pulls her to the end of the bed where they both sit.

“It all happened so quickly. She was the first girlfriend I had that I wasn’t pushing away, and I thought that meant I loved her, so I proposed.” He shakes his head, chuckling slightly. “It’s transactional, really. I’m just a stable guy who can give her the life she wants.” It sounds awful when he says it out loud. Caz wonders if the life she wants is also the life that he wants. She knows for certain if it was her, he wouldn’t. “And she’s all of those things for me, too. She doesn’t mind the distance or the infrequent phone calls. It just works, I guess, and I never questioned any of it until I met you.”

It isn’t lost on Caz that he never confirmed that he loved her, or still does love her, but she wouldn’t believe him if he said he doesn’t. She wonders if Jake ever listened to her talk about something obscure she really likes and then surprising it with her just because. She wonders if the two of them ever stay up way too late, drinking slushies and driving around just because, or waking up at the crack of dawn just to have a coffee together before work.

No.

She gets the fancy dinners and flowers delivered to her office the next morning. She gets to invite him out with her friends and show way too much PDA all night, and in the end, she got the ring. She’s getting the marriage, and all Caz will ever have is a secret relationship that fell apart the minute she laid eyes on the one thing standing in the way of what she wants.

Jake keeps talking, but she’s done listening. Creed was right–she’s certainly not been trained to diffuse bombs, and she really doesn’t want to stick around long enough to find out how big the blow is going to be because she knows she’ll be the only casualty.

Masterlist

Chapter 1 ~ Chapter 2 ~ Chapter 3 ~ Chapter 4 ~ Chapter 5

Warnings: cursing, slowest fucking burn oml

Chapter Summary: You meet the Maximoff twins and the Avengers on your search for Sergeant Barnes.

Chapter 6: I’M NICE TO MEET

“Another bust,” I say into my comms as Fitz, Johnson, Ward and I exit the base, leaving knocked out or restrained HYDRA agents for the local authorities to find.

“Copy that,” Fury replies.

“You know, this is like… we’re vigilantes, right? This isn’t legal anymore? We have no jurisdiction anywhere,” Fitz says.

“SHIELD did what SHIELD wanted,” I shrug. “Now it’s our turn.”

“That’s true, SHIELD never followed the rules, not even their own,” Daisy added.

“Excuse me, did you forget that you were on the line with the Director of SHIELD?” Fury defends.

I chuckle. “You mean former right? Because Fitz has a point, if we get caught we go to jail too.”

“Well, good thing we still have access to a quinjet,” Fury says as he lands right in front of us.

“Very smooth,” we climb in as the ramp comes down and take a seat. I sigh, “gone are the good ol’ days.”

“I never even got to experience them,” Daisy shrugs.

“They weren’t that great for us. She had it good, being Level 7,” Grant comments.

“You’re Level 6! I’m still Level 4!” Fitz exclaims, offended.

“The system collapsed when SHIELD fell, I can make you unofficially Level 10 if you’d like?” I offer as I go to the mini fridge to take out a… “who ate the mozzarella and prosciutto wrap?” I say, closing the door and looking at everyone disappointedly.

“Wasn’t me,” Daisy and Grant say.

My eyes shift to Fitz. “I’m sorry, did it have your name on it? Because it didn’t so…” I pick up an apple and throw it at him. “Ow ow ow what the hell!”

“Behave,” we hear May through the comms.

“Sorry, May,” we all say as we take out seats, buckling up to meet Fury.

He’s typing away at the computer when we enter his makeshift underground office. It’s still hard to get used to being based here and not some fancy DC high rise.

“We’ve stormed two bases and found nothing. The Avengers have cleared four and they haven’t found the sceptre either,” Daisy recounts.

“There has to be something we’re missing,” Fitz says.

“We have two computer geniuses, tactile and operations experts and we can’t find a magical space stick,” I say, frustrated but this mission isn’t the only thing on my mind. It’s been almost a year since Steve asked Sam and I for help and we still haven’t found anything solid. The HYDRA bases haven’t revealed anything helpful either.

“On a lighter note, HYDRA is six bases down! I see that as an absolute win,” Fitz smiles.

“I’d say you all take a break. I’ve not found anything as of yet so… go back to your lives for a little bit. I’ll send directives if I find anything,” Fury orders.

“You know… you’re not the boss of us anymore, right?” I raise a brow.

“You’re dismissed.”

I go home with the intention of getting some rest but there’s something grating at my mind. It seems too easy that we’ve taken down six bases in the span of a year after HYDRA had been hiding in the shadows for decades… I go to my laptop and map out where each base was found. Huh… They arrange in a line of six and when the order of discovery is taken into account it seems that each base gets farther and farther away from one country. Sokovia.

I pack a bag with disguises that I still kept around, a photostatic veil and more subtle weapons in the place of guns. Time to go into the belly of the beast.

I look at my phone and assume the identity of a scientist that I see is on her way into the base. Before she gets too close I knock her out with a an electric disc. I drag her unconscious body to a place with cover and scan her face with my phone, syncing it up with my photostatic veil. Once it uploads, I put it on my face which has now taken hers. I style my hair similar to hers and replace my clothes with hers. I tie her up but inject her with a sedative that should last long enough for me to gather intel. I go through her bag and read through her diary and tablet to see where she should and shouldn’t be, to prevent suspicion.

I sigh. “Ideme na to,” here we go, I practice my Sokovian.

I enter the base. Doctor Kovak seems to be reporting to sub-level 3 according to her diary. I follow the signs quietly but the staff here seem to be too busy with their own tasks to mind me.

“Doctor Kovak,” I turn to the source of the voice. Wolfgang von Strucker, of course. “How are the test subjects?” he asks.

“I’m checking on them now, Herr Strucker,” I respond. He nods and gestures for me to walk with him. He leads me to two rooms with one sided glass. HYDRA’s still experimenting on people… There’s a man in the cell to the left who looks healthy enough and a woman in the cell next to him, sat on her knees looking at blocks of wood. I raise a brow but take out Dr. Kovak’s tablet, tapping around to find something.

“Magnificent, aren’t they?”

I find a tab on SUBJECTS and tap it, leading me to 16 more tabs labelled FAILURES but two SUCCESSES. This brings me to the Maximoff twins, Pietro and Wanda. The doctor’s newest entry was from last night. “The male has increased metabolism and improved homeostasis,” I say. “His vitals look normal, for someone going through this,” I add as I look to the monitor on the wall of his side. “The female has exhibited abilities of telekinesis.” I stop myself from frowning… they’re human?

“Keep an eye on them. I want to know more. I want to know how they survived the powers of the sceptre while many others did not. What makes them special, doctor? We are running out of bases to feed the Avengers.” He walks away before I can acknowledge his orders.

So the sceptre is here and they were just trying to keep themselves out of our radar. My stomach sinks slightly in disappointment as there was the possibility that what HYDRA was hiding was Barnes… maybe he’s still free then. Hopefully.

I look at the twins files for more information on why they would volunteer for such experiments. Native Sokovians, orphaned at ten years old and only having each other since then. I look up and notice that Wanda is staring at me. Or, correction, she’s staring into my soul.

I need to find the sceptre but that can wait at the presence of two enhanced individuals that have chosen the opposing side.

I open Wanda’s cell. “Miss Maximoff,” I greet. “Good morning,” she doesn’t reply. “I just wanted to learn more about you.”

Her head tilts but she doesn’t say anything.

“What made you want to volunteer for this… program?” I ask.

“Why do you want to know?”

“I believe there is something special about you and your brother. We’ve of course taken biological samples but I like to take a more… holistic approach to find out more.”

She looks at me and I swear her eyes glow red.

“I just want to help.”

She blinks and her posture relaxes as if she believes me. “I lost everyone but my brother. There’s so much wrong with the world. We just want to change it.”

“That’s why you agreed to be experimented on?”

She nods. “My turn. What did you do to the real Dr. Kovak?”

I look up sharply. How could she possibly…? Wanda doesn’t seem to want to alert the other scientists and agents of my presence so I clear my throat and straighten up. “She’s safe. I just needed intel.”

Her brow raises. “On what?”

“Can’t ask me two questions in a row, Miss Maximoff.”

“I could just… read your mind.”

“You can do that?”

Her brow quirks as an answer. “Have you been withholding information from Strucker?”

“Yes.”

I hum at her honesty. “Good. You can’t trust him.”

“And I can trust you? A strange woman who is wearing someone else’s face and clothes,” she counters.

“Compared to anyone else here? Yes.”

She is about to say something but alarms sound. I leave the cell, closing the door with a last look at Wanda. I’ll get her out, I promise myself.

“What’s happening?” I ask, tucking the tablet away.

“We’re under attack.”

“Who?” Strucker asks.

“The Avengers.”

Shit. I sneak out and hear Strucker giving out orders. I find a server room and start downloading what intel I can about HYDRA’s plans and remaining strongholds for any clue on Sergeant Barnes’s locations and slip out. Rogers doesn’t need to know I was here with no back up.

The cold air greets me as I climb out of the base and start to discreetly make my way back to the town to catch a train to the next city to catch a flight back to DC

I feel someone behind me and I sharply turn, dodging their hold and kicking them in the knee by instinct. I stop when I see who it is. But he doesn’t as he goes in for a punch, I dodge and use his shield to propel myself backwards to get some distance between us.

“Steve! Don’t sneak up on a spy like that, you’re gonna get yourself killed.” I reach a hand down and he takes it as he gets back up on both feet.

He frowns under his helmet but there is no recognition in his eyes. I remember than the veil is still on my face so I peel it off and undo my hair.

“Y/N? What are you doing here?”

“Same as you,” I shrug.

“Did you come in with a team?” he asks concerned as he places his shield on his back. “Y/N where is your team? Did you not have back up?”

“I went in alone, okay?”

“Why would you do that?” Someone in his comms must have spoken because he turns away briefly. “I’m dealing with something but south west is clear.”

“It was just intel retrieval. Nothing big.”

“It’s you vs HYDRA, that’s not enough. Did you even have an extraction plan?”

“I was gonna take a train to Bucharest and then a plane back to DC.”

He gives me a what the fuck were you thinking look. “You ride back home with us. But for now… care to join us?”

I smirk. “How could I refuse?” We enter the compound to take down more HYDRA agents. As Steve kicks down an agent Strucker runs into us.

“Baron Strucker. Hydra’s number one thug,” Steve says, circling the man.

“Technically I’m a thug for SHIELD,” he retorts.

“Well then technically you’re unemployed. Where’s Loki’s sceptre?”

“Don’t worry, I know when I’m beat. You’ll mention how I cooperated, I hope,” he surrenders immediately. Suspiciously.

I frown and see the flowing red eyes in the shadows.

“I’ll put it right under illegal human experimentation. How many are there-”

“Cap!” I warn but it’s too late as Wanda hits him with a red surge of energy that knocks him down the stairs.

I’m ready in case Wanda comes for me but she doesn’t, just exiting the place and closing the door behind her.

“We have a second enhanced. Female. Do not engage,” Steve says into his comms as he runs back up the stairs.

“You’ll have to be faster than that–“ I hit Strucker with a disc and he convulses as he falls.

“I love those things,” I remark.

Steve chuckles then picks Strucker up. “Guys, I’ve got Strucker.”

“Want me to keep looking for the sceptre?” I offer.

He nods. “I’ll take Strucker, you find Tony. Nat and Bruce are still on the field but Thor and Clint are on the jet.” At my confused look it’s like he read my mind. “Clint got hurt. But he’ll pull through.” He turns into his comms. “Tony, Y/N’s coming to you.” Steve gives me his communicator and leaves with Strucker.

I go back to the level where the twins were to start looking for Stark.

“Mr. Stark this is Agent – well former agent Y/N L/N, are you able to give me your 20?”

“Well, I found the sceptre. Bringing it up with me now. I was at the south corridor and I found a secret doorway.” I follow where he says, remembering the map I saw on the tablet. “Nice to meet you, former agent.”

“I’m nice to meet, Mr. Stark.”

“I like you.” He taps something on his bracelet and his armour envelopes him.

“Is that it?”

“Yep. Pretty underwhelming, huh?” he seems out of breath… shaken.

“Are you alright, Stark?”

“I’m fine,” he responds all too quickly.

“Let’s get to the jet,” I follow the coordinates that Steve sent me on my phone and the Avengers are all there waiting.

Natasha smiles as she sees me. “What a surprise,” she says going in for a hug as Stark hands the sceptre to Thor and starts up the engine.

“Whatcha doin’ all the way out here?” Clint rasps.

“I could ask you the same thing old man,” I lightly joke, weary of his injury.

“Who you callin’ old? We got a thousand year old and a hundred year old on board.”

“Alright, ease up before you hurt yourself even more,” Natasha says as she gives him a sedative.

Once Clint was passed out and secure I take a seat with Nat next to me.

“So what are you doing here?” she asks.

“Same as you.”

Raising a brow she sighs. “Don’t tell me Fury’s still working you?”

“Of course he is. We have to take down the rest of HYDRA.”

“That’s our job, now.”

I roll my eyes. “Yeah, you’re doing great just invading countries that already hate you and wrecking historical sites. Top notch spy work.”

“Not a spy anymore, Y/N and neither are you,” she retorts.

Steve enters our conversation, standing tall with his arms crossed. “What do you mean?”

“See, you don’t even do your research before you go in. What happened to knowing your enemy?” I ask them both.

“Last I checked our enemies were people we thought were friends so I think we know them pretty well,” Steve replies.

“The two enhanced?” I counter. “What do you know about them?”

“What do you?” Stark asks.

I smirk. “So nothing?” I pull out the tablet that miraculously did not take any damage. I turn it on and find the file on the twins. “They’re called the Maximoff twins; Wanda and Pietro. They were orphaned at 10 years old when a shell hit their civilian apartment in the Novi Grad Bombings. Sokovia has been in the middle of a rebellion for years now. They don’t like you guys very much. Wanda has… special abilities. Neuroelectric interfacing, telekinesis, mental manipulation,” at confused faces I simplify. “She can move things with her mind and read yours. The latter, she has kept from Strucker.”

“So how do you know about it?” Stark asks.

“Because I spoke to her,” I shrug. “I know she can read minds because she knew I wasn’t the doctor I took the identity of.”

“You got in proximity with them?”

I nod.

“You know how dangerous that is, Y/N? You could have gotten killed, going in there like that, all alone. Did anyone else know where you were?” Steve demands.

“Okay, one, I wasn’t alone, I had my weapons.” He rolls his eyes. “Two, that’s classified.”

“There isn’t a SHIELD anymore, Y/N. Information isn’t classified.”

“Then I’m not telling.”

“Why not?” Nat asks.

“Because you’ll yell at me.”

Steve presses two fingers on the bridge of his nose and huffs, knowing the answer.

“What about the other one? Pietro?” Stark asks.

“He’s just really fast.”

We land on the helipad at Stark tower and Helen Cho and Hill take Clint to patch him up. Steve asks about Strucker and we get the news that NATO has him and it’s all in all mission accomplished.

💖

Deleted lines of dialogue in Frozen 2

We know that F2’s plot suffered from last minute changes and even leaks that we got before the release contradict the final material, but that’s another can of worms for another post. What I wanna talk about in this post is something I happened to notice a few days ago while watching the Frozen 2 Outtakes video available with the Blu-ray version of the movie. Here’s a link to it. My apologies if there’s a post out there already talking about this, but I haven’t seen one so I thought I might as well give it a go.

Basically, the video is a recollection of funny moments that arose when the voice actors were recording their lines. But… I don’t know if this was deliberate or an oversight on Disney’s part, or if they didn’t care too much about it at the end of the day and released it anyways. The thing is, we can see the original dialogue they were supposed to record as tiny subtitles, and good god, there are tons of deleted lines, including an earlier version of Some Things Never Change, and some point to the existence of completely different scenes from the ones we got. Here’s what I mean:

I don’t recall ever coming across deleted lines for Frozen 1 apart from the famous “That’s no blizzard, that’s my sister”, so this is pretty interesting.

But in addition to that, while digging through some old files I found recorded lines of a Frozen 2 book that came out before release (Specifically on October 4th, 2019, when the Frozen Fan Fest was being held with the first released merch). That’s a long, long time ago and I don’t remember the name of the book, sadly, but you can listen to the recording I made right here. If someone does remember the name of the book that’d be really cool. I think the original recording was provided by Snow on the Arendelle Kingdom Discord server, so credits to her.

UPDATE: The book was found along with other interesting pieces of info! It’s called Frozen 2 Read-Along Storybook and CD. Credits to @lovewillthaw-j and their amazing detective work! Here it is.

What’s particularly interesting about this one is that no merch released on October 4 had the ending of the movie. Every book was cut off at the moment Anna received Elsa’s message in the cave, with no mention of Show Yourself or Elsa’s death for that matter. Now, we don’t know if they were trying not to spoil the movie, or if they legitimately didn’t have a final ending at the time the books were made. Knowing how… messy Frozen 2’s development was, I think we can all sort of agree it was the latter.

Because of this, there is some really intriguing stuff. Nods to scenes that aren’t in the final movie, shameless hints to Elsa’s permanent death, events happening in a different order… I don’t know if these lines were recorded only for the book, but I doubt they were, because many of those lines are actually in the movie or are referenced in books and some have really slight modifications like changes in tone of voice. I guess we’ll never Find The Truth™, but we can analyze these lines too because they can give us an idea of what earlier versions of the movie were like.

So let’s look at them one by one. Looooong post ahead.

Frozen 2 Outtakes Video

“Should have left it to me. Love you too. You blew it Kristoff. Oh. I’m alone. It’s fine.” – Kristoff/Sven

This one definitely happens during Kristoff’s first proposal attempt. Before this line, Anna says, “She couldn’t act out ice?” and we can assume Kristoff absent mindedly responds with “Should have left it to me”. That makes sense, considering he delivers ice for a living and ice is his life. Then we got “Love you too”, which Kristoff says in the final movie, but then we got Sven dialogue as he tells him “You blew it, Kristoff.” “Oh, I’m alone,” is what would go before he finally says, “It’s fine.” The reason the dialogue is all mixed up is because Johnathan Groff is the one recording the lines and he does both Kristoff and Sven’s voices (well, technically, Kristoff).

_______

“Hey. What the—What is this? Hang onto me. What’s happening? Run. The mist is rising. We are being pushed by the…” – Kristoff

We can tell this happens when the Arendellian gang was crossing the mist wall for the first time. The scene was evidently going to be longer and more chaotic than what we actually got. Apparently they run and that would’ve been pretty cool.

_______

“The winds are restless. Like how I sometimes feel in the fall. But I’m not ready. I love these days, I’m grateful for them all.” – Elsa (Alternate Some Things Never Change)

Now this is what I call a quality deleted line. I recommend you guys watch the video to hear the little part that Idina sings to have an idea what Elsa’s part in Some Things Never Change was originally going to be like. Definitely a bit sadder than what we got. I think this line gives the idea that Elsa wasn’t feeling too comfy in Arendelle even though she enjoyed the company of her family immensely, or if we go with the idea that fall represents change, Elsa is feeling restless in the face of change. She’s not ready to ‘change’ and wants to keep enjoying her days in Arendelle. She can’t let them go. How ironic. Interpret it as you want!

_______

“I’d freeze this moment if I could find a way…” – Elsa (Alternate Some Things Never Change)

Same scene. Sadder atmosphere for her part of the song. It’s a shame we don’t know what goes next.

_______

“Water drowns with a stallion’s might.” – Elsa

Wowowowowow. Now this is interesting, because I have no idea where to place this line of dialogue meaning there might’ve been another scene foreshadowing the Nokk. In the final movie, the only moment we see the Nokk is during When I Am Older and it was very brief and played for laughs. But this line gives the idea that the existence of an angry murderous water horse was going to be mentioned earlier on. Now I have a lot of ideas as to what she might’ve referred to (maybe that’s just a comparison she made on the fly and didn’t know the water spirit was a horse? Maybe it’s like a riddle she solved to know what the water spirit was?) but to be honest I think there’s no way to know. Fun to theorize, though.

Also, total confirmation the Nokk is a male!

_______

“It’s magic. It’s amazing. There’s a voice. I need to follow it.” – Elsa

This line probably happened when they visited Pabbie and evacuated Arendelle. A different take on how she explained to Anna why she wanted to go on the journey. Honestly, I prefer what we actually got. She sounds quite desperate and hypnotized in this one. VOICE. I HEAR. MUST FOLLOW. I don’t know what you guys think. The actual explanation in the final movie is not great either but I prefer it.

_______

“Hey Elsa. It’s your mom. Remember, mothers are always right. Now, be who you are!” – Olaf (Longer Post Credits Scene)

We were robbed. This line and another one points to a longer post credits scene. I suspect they weren’t able to include it because of time constraints, because c’mon, this is hilarious. An animator on Instagram said that they were not able to model the inside of Elsa’s ice palace for the post credits scene because they ran out of time, so they used Ahtohallan pillars and changed the lighting so that it gave the ‘feel’ of the ice palace. I’m sorry I can’t provide a link right now because I don’t remember who the animator was, but if I find it again or someone else does I’ll update this.

UPDATE: The Instagram comment in particular was found! Thanks to @super-mam-te-moc for the screenshot.

Okay, kind of got derailed there. They didn’t have enough time to finish the post credits scene and that’s the only coherent answer I can find as to why this was deleted.

_______

“They’re all looking at us, aren’t they? Okay, got any advice? How do I free the forest?” – Elsa

Very similar to what’s in the movie but here Elsa asks Bruni if he knows how she can free the forest. The fact that Elsa asks a little cute salamander this… kind of gives the idea that Elsa was completely clueless, same as the rest of the gang, and the rest of the writers. Jkjk!

_______

“Emotional and slightly haunting memory of Mother? Is that you?” – Olaf (Longer Post Credits Scene)

Same as above. We were robbed. Twice.

______________________________

Unused Recorded Lines from Frozen 2 Book

“Teeth? Oh. Pillow fort! Disturbed! Aw, c’mon, you definitely look disturbed!” – Anna

Shorter or summarized charades scene. Anna never mentions a pillow fort in the final movie.

_______

“I know that rumble.” – Kristoff

This probably goes when Pabbie and the trolls appeared at the evacuation place. Seems like in an earlier version, there was more buildup before the appearance of the trolls. Kristoff hears the rumble of the rocks before anything else. Deleted scenes seen in trailers also point to a slightly different ‘troll appearance’ scene.

_______

“I won’t leave her side.” – Anna

During Pabbie’s visit. We know thanks to trailers Anna’s little talk with Pabbie changed a bit. Here Anna displays her worry for Elsa even more.

Here’s a comparison between the trailer:

And the final movie:

What’s particularly interesting about this is that a later point in the movie, during Kristoff’s third failed proposal, Anna suddenly remembers Elsa and runs off hurriedly saying, “I swore I wouldn’t leave her side”. Coincidence? I THINK NOT. She never explicitly says so in the final movie, but it seems like she did in an earlier version.

_______

“We’ll fix it together. / Together. / Together.” – Anna, Kristoff and Olaf respectively

Probably as they were going to go on the journey, considering the lines are said chronologically? They discovered the power of teamwork. Weird Elsa doesn’t say ‘together’. Maybe they left it out because, coughcoughtheydidn’tfixanythingtogether.

_______

“Uhm, I sense no way in, but this is fun nonetheless.” – Olaf

Definitely during the arrival at the mist wall. Olaf doesn’t say anything as he bounces off in the final movie.

_______

“Hah! It let us in, but it clearly does not wanna let us out.” – Olaf

Same as above. Anna is the one who says they’re trapped in the final version.

_______

“Your father was… / King Agnarr of Arendelle.” – Mattias, Elsa, respectively

In the final version Mattias immediately says “Agnarr”, while here Elsa finishes his words after his pause. To be honest, it makes more sense in the final version, considering Mattias would remember Agnarr’s name without a doubt.

_______

“I’m fine. I just… actually, I’m starving.” – Anna

This probably goes right after the “Don’t Run Into Fire” argument. I didn’t think much of this line at first but it’s actually really interesting, because in the final movie, right after Elsa and Anna’s argument, Elsa places Iduna’s scarf on Anna’s shoulders and with this perfect timing they find out she was Northuldra, leading to the whole “Vuelie” scene. But here, there’s no comforting with scarf, and it seems like this scene leads to the one after Vuelie in the final movie, with Anna eating as she talks to Mattias, and Elsa and Honeymaren talking about the spirits.

Which means… that in an earlier version, the discovery of Iduna being Northuldra was probably going to happen later on. Pretty crazy, right?

_______

“If I lost her… I think I’d lose myself.” – Anna

All right. I think that this line is one of the most important ones. Thanks to books having this line in them we can pinpoint exactly when Anna utters it: expectedly, when she was talking with Mattias. The delivery of this line is also particularly heartbreaking, so I recommend you guys hear the audio file.

I don’t wanna ramble too much but there’s a lot to be said about this line. But yes, I’ll actually end up rambling. Warning.

Along with “I won’t leave her side”, it seems like earlier versions of the movie showed Anna being even more anxious and worried about Elsa’s wellbeing. As we know, Anna and Mattias were talking about ‘doing the next right thing’, and being prepared when life throws you down a new path. This is obvious foreshadowing to The Next Right Thing. But why were these two cut? Don’t they deepen Anna’s character and show just how deathly scared this whole adventure had her?

Well, here’s some speculation. These two lines are obviously foreshadowing Elsa’s death. The thing is, there exists the likelihood that at the times these lines were written and recorded, there was no such thing as Elsa’s revival. We’ve known for a long time that Elsa was going to die for real in Frozen 2, but test audiences were left traumatized and probably in need of PTSD treatment, hating it so much that the ending and everything that came with it was rewritten around June. Including, I speculate, these two lines which blatantly foreshadow Elsa’s big oof.

There’s not much foreshadowing to Elsa’s death in the final version. That’s because it was a minor thing. She died before the climax of the movie and her death scene didn’t feel final nor dramatic enough to fool the audience and make them believe she was really, really, won’t-breathe-ever-again kind of dead. Some watchers didn’t even realize she died, because the scene was not supposed to feel like her end. Not even the score, Ghosts of Arendelle Past, has a final feeling to it. It just kind of ends there in an ominous tone and they stress the fact that she sent an important ice message before freezing, giving hope of events resolving themselves.

But these two lines do foreshadow of a terrifying event. One that’s not minor nor temporary. These two lines, probably among others we’ll never find out about, and Anna’s worried sick attitude in earlier versions, give more weight to Elsa’s death, Elsa’s permanent death, and ultimately, The Next Right Thing.

Or maybe not and I’m wrong and there was no need for a 4 paragraph long overanalysis of two lines. Maybe they just deleted them just cause. Who knows the ways of writers…

_______

“All this time… the four spirits. Right there.” – Elsa

Maybe this goes during Honeymaren’s talk about the spirits? Right there, meaning, they were all along depicted in Iduna’s scarf and nobody in Arendelle realized? We’ll never know.

_______

“You mean like a voice?” – Elsa

Probably happened when Honeymaren was talking about the fifth spirit crying out the day the forest fell.

_______

“She made it across the sea.” – Anna

“I know why the spirits evacuated Arendelle.” – Anna

“Olaf, I know how to free the forest.” – Anna

Okay, I’m gonna talk about these three at the same time because it’s the same scene. Obviously, these lines of dialogue take place in the cave as Anna receives Elsa’s message, right before The Next Right Thing. We know that for sure because The Next Right Thing was one of the first Frozen 2 songs to be written and the writers knew that’s where they wanted the story to go. This seems like a pretty different setup, but to be honest, it feels like a placeholder. Anna doesn’t even react to the fact that there was a statue of grandpa slicing an innocent man in two right in front of her which just feels weird.

And all in all, the lines just don’t have the sadness of the final version. Anna doesn’t sound nearly as disappointed and her voice doesn’t lower that much. She sort of sounds determined in the last line! So determined to wreck her home to pieces with a gigantic flood… ahaha Anna…

______________________________

Okay, it was pretty fun to overanalyze all 23 deleted lines that I managed to find. There are even more deleted goodies out there thanks to the merch, but we’re gonna leave that for another moment.

There’s no doubt that Frozen 2′s development had plenty of problems along the way and I think it’s pretty interesting to learn what it could’ve been and could’ve had. These lines are just the tip of the iceberg and I’m more than interested to know what exactly the test audiences saw in those infamous test screenings...

______________________________

UPDATE: More deleted stuff!

@theupsidedownpyramid collected more deleted lines found in the trailers right here!

@yumeka36 made a really interesting analysis of the Frozen 2 Novelization with even more deleted lines and scenes here!

the next day, August 22nd, 2021

Wow. Wooow. And we focus on what we want. I want money -- ka ching -- chinga tu madre.

Whoa.

What a day. a day for saints, for rest, for meditation, for getting irrevocably high. I returned to Source, and finished a self-portrait as the Godhead.

Wowowowowow! The garlands of one who has been through the Cosmic Fire: Divine Love, radiating; creative Fire, awarded (invoked); happiness and content in performing one’s (One’s!) Dharma. That which supports . . . oh! fuckin duh!

creativity supports me. And my attainments are held through it! The garlands of an artist’s soul: confidence, particularized darshins ( fitzinjaals!), peace.

Peace everlasting. There’s nowhere to go now, in search of a home. Wherever I am is home. Thanks to the 4 Sacred Elements, I am alive in body. I get to be here. It’s nice, and wonderful.

So, let’s expand our idea of what is art. Let’s get back to writing small ‘cos oooo, am I going to write.

Would you rather have hoseok eat you out in a bathroom at a restaurant or tease him under the table 😏😏

pairing: hoseok x reader

genre: slice of life, smut

rating: PG-15/Mature

summary: three chances is plenty enough for you to do exactly what you want.

word count: 805

warnings: exhibitionism, handjobs, palming, teasing, public handjobs, yaknow the basics

a/n: wowowowowow i would liVE for teasing hoseok under the table like dayum sign me the fuck up that sounds like a good time doesn’t it? for @hobisbeautifulass :3 and @ironicarmy :3 and @thinksshesawolf :3 mwah also eek i cut it off at the juicy bits alkdfjlk

“I’m glad we were able to do this, babygirl.” Hoseok drops a hand to your thigh and grins over at you from out the corner of his eye.

“Me too.” You place a hand over his, returning the smile with one of your own. “This place is really nice, I feel a bit under-dressed to be honest.”

“Ha, I know you do love, but there’s no reason to. You look ten times better than everyone else in here anyways. And you look stunning in that dress.” Hoseok squeezes your leg gently.

“Well, you picked it out so of course you’re gonna like it.” Hoseok laughs at your comment then pulls his hand away from you. He has a valid point though, because it’s been a long time since the two of you were able to go out like this. School and work have kept you busy, but it keeps Hoseok just as busy so neither of you have much time to go out on dates like this anymore.

And you have to admit that your sex life has… well, it’s declined because of how busy the two of you are. No time to be together means no time to have sex. Tonight provides the perfect opportunity to change that, and you’re hoping to rile Hoseok up some before getting home. A sexually frustrated Hoseok is the best kind, and it means you’re going to be in for a long night filled with hard fucking. Can’t say no to that under any circumstances.

“Love, what do you want to eat?”

“Hm? Oh, you choose for me, baby. You know what I like.” You lean against Hoseok’s body, arm entwining his, and rest your chin atop his shoulder.

“You’re too cute, babygirl.” Hoseok brings his free hand up to tap you on the nose. You merely smirk back at him in response. What you’re planning on doing next is certainly far from cute. Given your idea, the entree may not even make it to the table before you’re being dragged home. “Are you alright, Y/N? You seem kinda out of it.”

“Ah yes, I’m fine, Hobi. Don’t worry about me, I’m just thinking about how long it’s been since we’ve done something like this.”

“I thought we talked about that already before getting in the car, baby.”

“I know, I know. Just… thinking about it again.” You let your hand fall from Hoseok’s arm to his lap and gently rest it there with doing anything too out of the ordinary. Hoseok lets you get away with it for the time being after releasing a breathy laugh. Twisting your hand, you latch onto his thigh and squeeze gently as you smile up at him.

Hoseok leans forward and grabs his glass of wine. Right when he goes to take a sip, you shift your hand to press your palm against his crotch. Hoseok chokes. Wine splatters across the inside of his glass as he huffs against it. He brings his free hand down to grab hold of yours.

“Y/N…” His tone is warning and quiet, eyes finding yours. “Don’t. I’ll give you three chances to stop.”

“I’m not doing anything,” you refute. You arch an eyebrow as you smile back at Hoseok. “Just having a good time with my boyfriend, that’s all.”

“That’s one, Y/N.”

Luckily for you, a waiter approaches the table and distracts Hoseok from what you’re doing.

“Are you ready to order?”

“Yes, thank you.” Hoseok removes his hand from yours to grab hold of the menu instead. You shouldn’t test your luck too much, but the temptation is too delightful to pass up. You massage your palm against Hoseok’s crotch, the action hidden by the table so the waiter can’t see what you’re up to. Hoseok is trying to talk, but you keep rubbing his hardening cock through his pants. He is somehow managing to speak without stuttering in the slightest, which is moderately impressive, but you haven’t even begun your plans yet.

You aren’t really paying any attention to whatever Hoseok is saying and ordering; instead, you tease the zipper of his pants. You tug at it, Hoseok still too preoccupied with the waiter to do anything, and slip your hand under the band of his underwear to grab his half hard member. Hoseok pauses to inhale sharply. You glance over his shoulder to look at the menu, feigning innocence as you rest your chin against him. Hoseok recovers enough to finish his train of thought. The waiter steps aside from the table and leaves the two of you to it. Hoseok whips his head over to you as soon as the waiter leaves.

“You’re pushing your luck, babygirl. That’s two.”

“What happens when I hit three?” You hum and tilt your head to the side.“

"That’s for you to find out, babygirl.”

i’m so wiped out and i’m deliriously sleepy, but i am going to start teaching this week. today i got an email and a student called me professor. i uploaded course work up to blackboard and i realized i have 22 students and im going to be their teacher and i want so badly to do a good job. and i keep holding myself back from being excited. its just one job for now. one job being an adjunct. nevermind they offered me a second course already for this semester. (what if next semester comes and they dont hire me? what if i dont get accepted into a phd program again?)

for now ... i am going to be a professor for 22 students on tuesday. this has been my dream, my grand fucking dream for TEN YEARS, i literally decided i wanted to be a college professor when i was 16 and it took a fuck ton of work and courage and endurance and im here!!

and on top of that i’m in love? i’m deeply, deeply in love and i adore her with all my heart and i think about all her all the time!! and i know what it is to wake up with her! i know she’s one of those poor bastards who cant enjoy cilantro and she and i have a running joke about my toes and her mother follows me on instagram and my mother follows her. we play music when we cook together. she’s going to be there when i get my tattoo in two weeks. the last time she and i cuddled up on the couch i started laughing so hard i cried. and her message to me, a simple i love you, is still there on the dry erase board on my fridge, and everyone knows i’m bi now, everyone knows im hers and shes mine and its been much more joy than its been resistance and im coming out strong and even my therapist told me: seeing my clients flourish like this is why i do my job and that’s me- that’s me she was talking about.

i’m so anxious. and stressed. so nervous!! but before i can get too nervous, i realize: i’m nervous about the thing ive only been dreaming about for so long. wow wow wowowowowow. wow!!!!!

FOLKLORE: 1st Listen

1. The 1 - “I’m on some new shit” Love the production ooooo..... “If you never bleed then you’re never gonna grow.” Why does this remind me of HAYLOR?!?!!? Omg my heart. “It woulda been fun if you woulda been the one” Wow!!!!!! “And if my wishes came true it woulda been you” Wowowowowow!!!!!! WHAT AN OPENER

2. Cardigan - High heels on cobblestones what an IMAGE. I love her range here omg. “Baby kiss it better, Iiiiiiiii” I LOVE the breathiness of it. A friend to all is a friend to none, you tell em girl!!!! This song is so COZY I just feel like war, and soft listening to it. So much piano. “You drew stars around my scars but now I’m bleeding.” So softttt “Leaving like a father” 🥺🥺🥺 “These hands had to let it go free and this love came back to me// I knew you’d come back to me”

3. The last great American dynasty - Ok I was not excited for this one. The initial synth is interesting. Rebecca who tf is Rebecca? Saint Louis and Bill? This is specific.... Hmmmm okay I see a trend of blaming women. THE RHODE ISLAND SET HOLLA!!!! Dali?! Hmmm maddest, shameless now... What’s the twist in the bridge tell me? OMG IS THAT HER HOUSE!!! AHHHHHHH YES OMG!!!!! Loudest yessss! LITERALLY A SOMG ABOUT HER HOUSE I CANT. I like this chorus so much

4. Exile - I’m stoked for this one. Mucho piano. Omgggggg the vocals well done Bon Iver!!!!! “You’re not my homeland anymore” BROKEN HEART. “Now I’m in exile seeing you out.” There’s the title... Balancing on breaking branches :( “I’m not your problem anymore, so who am I offending now.” Awww “you were my crown” proceeds the exile line, that’s so sad and beautiful like THEY WERE ROYALTY IN LOVE. I love this interplay of perspectives holy shit this bridge. Her voice is so delicate and his is so strong they are just CHEFS KISS together!!!!! Like sneaking out a movie theater? This album is PERFECT for midnight release. I am obsessed with the ending of this song OMG. J’adore.

5. My tears ricochet - Ok time for track five I am not ready. Ooo floaty vocals me gusta. Omg it’s like a wake?? I love how she says loved you, cause I loved you. It’s almost British. Oooo SAVING FACE BURN GIRL. “You know I didn’t want to have to haunt you.” This is so prettyyyyyyyyy. It’s like Clean gets a whole album! “Just not home”. “Miss me in your bones.” “Stolen lullabies” THESE IMAGES LIKE WHAT. Not sure where the title fits in with the other story like if she’s dead how is she crying? Does he just not really care? Is he a robot? Hm. Much to think about

6. Mirrorball - TRACK 6 mirrorball. PLEASE be about the outfit to end all outfits! Kidding. Definitely not lol. This sounds like a middle school slow dance song.... shining just for you 😍 definitely a middle school slow dance song. “I can change everything about me to fit in.” Ouch Taylor. This is like the softest thing and also the saddest thing how she feels she has to try to keep his attention the whole time. I wasn’t expecting it to be sad?!

7. Seven - Aptly named seven. Ok we’re not waiting here let’s go. This has a little strummy country vibe? “Are there still beautiful things” powerful question. “Passed down like folk songs, the love lasts so long”. This feels like a song about her childhood. I really like this melody. It’s so gentle and pretty 😍

8. August - {WOW APPLE MUSIC WAY TO CATCH UP WITH THE FUCKING WORLD I HATE YOU. Okay we’re back!!!} Salt air?! I already love it. And rusty doors. Yes. Okay my birthday feels safe. “August sipped away like a bottle of wine cause you were never mine”🥺. Wait this is like happy retrospective WHEN WE WERE STILL CHANGING FOR THE BETTER, FOR ME IT WAS ENOUGH TO LIVE FOR THE HOPE OF IT ALL. “I can see us lost in a memory, august slipped away in a memory, cause it was never mine” this is so freaking ethereal and pretty. And she is repeating the hope of it all?! Inject this directly into my veins ughhhhh

9. This is me trying - “I didn’t know if you’d care if I came back” I love how she has all these images of bumbling and fumbling and puts it next to her saying she is trying, working on that communication. “I got wasted like all my potential. My words shoot to kill when I’m bad” Wait I have so many amazing lyrics I can’t even keep up with it what is happening. “It’s hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you”

10. Illicit affairs - curious about this title???? What’s going to happen. Oooo a sneaky love thing going on. “Clandestine meetings and longing stares”. LITTLE DEATH TAYLOR SWIFT I SEE YOU LE PETIT MORT. “Dwindling mercurial high”?! Damn girl!!! Ooo okay no more orgasm things, just about lies now. Death to lies. “You showed me colors I can’t see with anyone else” “you taught me secret language I can’t speak with anyone else” Wait is it over?! The sudden endings WOW.

11. Invisible string - I keep hearing all these colors and all I can thing is RED. “Invisible string tying you to me”. I just LOVE all these pretty floating songs! “She said I look like an American singer” Omg I wonder if this is about her meeting joe IT IS IT IS THE DIVE BAR IS BACK. “One single thread of gold” ugh I love the running themes this woman uses! “Now I send their babies presents 😍” “hell was the journey but it brought me heaven” I LOVE THIS SONG OMG

12. Mad woman - I’ve been so curious about this OKAY!!!!!! TAYLOR SWIFT SAID FUCK IT HAPPENED. “Every time you call me crazy I get more crazy what about that?” “No one likes a mad woman YOU MADE HER LIKE THAT” OH MY GODDDDDD YES TELL THEM TAYLOR. “Doing your dirtiest work for you” holy SHIT Taylor this is scooter’s call out song and I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS. “I’m taking my time because you took everything from me, watching you climb over people like me” I CANT KEEP UP TAYLOR THIS IS SO SHARP OMG and the dRUMS MY SOUL LEFT MY BODY

13. Epiphany - WHEW okay lots I’m still processing so epiphany whatcha got?! “Something med school did not cover, someone’s daughter, someone’s mother.” Omg aNOTHER HOSPITAL SONG SERIOUSLY Taylor baby no :((((( “you dream of some epiphany, just one single glimpse of relief to make some sense of what you’ve seen” I wonder if this is for nurses and caregivers?

14. Betty - oh HELLO harmonica!!!!! Is this one of the love triangle songs? TAYLOR SAID FUCK AGAIN TWICE IN ONE ALBUM! I WAS NOT EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR THIS!!!!! I like the melody in this though, it’s so pretty and it reminds me of her older stuff! WAIT FUCK IS IN THE CHORUS SO SHE’S SAYING IT A LOT AHHHHH. “A figment of my worst intentions” omgggggg what a great line?! Okay wait this has SO MANY CARDIGAN PARALLELS AT THE END THIS IS ONE OF THE THREE. SO IS CARDIGAN what is #3?!

15. Peace - interesting starting song hmmmmmmmm. Sounds more bluesy! “Our coming of age is come and gone.” So she can’t give peace- “I would die for you in secret, the devil’s in the details but you got a friend in me.” This song is really hitting a lot tbh. “It’s like I’m wasting your honor.” Taylor this is sad 🥺 “the rain is always gonna come if you’re standing with me”

16. Hoax - hOW are we already at the end?! I like the super gentle piano in the back. “Your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in. Don’t want no other shade of blue but you.” She’s so vulnerable and this is really hard to listen to. Love was just as hard as when they pulled you apart?

Physical Album Update on (TBD)
