Paring: Natasha Romanoff x GN!Reader

Summary: Happy Halloween! To celebrate the Holiday, Stark throws his annual party. But when a certain Russian spy shows up in a scandalous costume, only chaos may ensue.

Warnings: Halloween? Cursing, drinking, alcohol, more descriptive kissing? Let me know if anything else needs to be tagged.

You took a deep breath, adding your final touches of green to your face. You were a zombie this year. It was basic, sure, but easy. Wear some dirt-stained clothes and add green splotches to your face. Maybe draw a bite mark on your neck or something if you’re extra. Which, of course, you were.

You walked out of your room and down the halls of the Compound, using the loud sounds of music playing and guests talking as a guide to where the party was. It was Tony’s annual Halloween party, and all of the Avengers were required to attend.

Hence why you were even there.

You bit your lip anxiously, standing awkwardly in the corner of the room, near the door to some hallway. Sure, you could identify every one of your friends in the large room, but they were all deep in conversations with other people. And you weren't gonna drag any of them away from that, you weren't an asshole.

A tap on your shoulder zapped you from your thoughts. You turned to look at the culprit, eyes wide.

"Sorry," she chuckled. "Did I scare you?"

"Natasha." You said aloud, you know, like an idiot. "No. Uh--no. I'm..I'm alright, don't--don't worry."

She laughed again at that. “Well, nice costume.”

“Thanks. I like yours.”

“I went a little basic this year. Clint and I went as Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable last year, so I wanted to do something a little more well known this year.” She explained.

“A..devil?”

She flashed you a smile, doing a small spin. Her short and sparkly red dress—paired with fishnet tights and bright red high heels and a devil horn headband—made her look great.

“Correct.” She grinned. “What do you think?”

“It looks great.” You look great.

“Glad you think so. Did you see Tony? Already hammered.”

“Sounds about right. I still can’t believe Sam and Clint managed to get Steve and Bucky to go as the Teletubbies with them.” You chuckled.

“They look good, though.” Nat shrugged. Then she gave you a devilish grin. “You wanna do something..wicked?”

“Was that meant to be a Halloween joke?”

“Maybe.” She bit her lip. “So..you in?”

“Hell yeah I am.” You beamed.

“Well…we’re standing under the pumpkin.” She said, pointing up with her finger.

“Huh?” You craned your neck back to look up, and sure enough, there was a small pumpkin—most likely made of plastic—hanging from a string off the doorframe.

“Like mistletoe. But Halloween.” She smiled softly, staring into your eyes.

“What..do we do?”

“Kiss me, Y/n.” She leaned in, and so did you.

You kissed her softly, as she rested her hands on your shoulders, your hands gliding down to her hips. You pulled her closer, and she didn’t pull away, the inner part of her elbow against the back of your neck.

She guided you through the doorway and into the hall, never breaking your kiss. She pushed you against the wall, her lips and tongue moving in a rhythm that you desperately wanted to remember.

“Fuck,” you whispered against her lips, and she pressed her forehead to yours.

“Trick or treat,” she whispered, letting out a breathy laugh.

You kissed her again. “Treat,” you chuckled.

She led you back to her room.

Later, in the late hours of the night, or perhaps the early hours of the morning, she pressed a kiss to your cheek.

Though the words were never spoken aloud, you knew what her expression meant. I love you.

“Happy Halloween, Y/n.” She mumbled.

“Happy Halloween.”

A/N: trying out putting the note at the bottom lmao. Happy Halloween everybody! This is a bit shorter (and less structured) than I would’ve liked, but life has been busy. I hope you have a wonderful Halloween, and thank you to everyone who voted on the poll! 💕

How to go about a Bright Fantasy?

[To Long? TLDR at the bottom]

So I have an inherent issue going forward. My D&D campaigns keep getting darker despite me not wanting them to. I am hoping to write a Bright Fantasy campaign but I am having trouble doing so in the context of a D&D campaign.

I think this is because of the inherent mechanics of D&D support a darker setting. There are many official or WOTC supported classes that tend to lean towards these darker perspectives. It's not that they can't be brighter but players that play these usually end up sending their characters down a darker path them being: Blood Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, Barbarian and very often Sorcerers. For races: Dark Elves, Half Elves, Orcs, Half Orcs, Tiefling, Dhampir, Goblins, Goliath, Aasimar, Bugbear, Hobgoblin, Kenku, Kobold and Changeling. Now that may be just my experience but I think both lists should give some perspective. Now many of you may say that they are not inherently dark and I would agree but I think many players just enjoy the darker perspective of this sort of character.

Blood Hunter is pretty clear, the concept boils down to controlling people and becoming more monstrous to kill monsters. It is by no means a bad class but it does rather strongly tend towards darker characters. If you don't believe me I encourage you to Google Blood Hunter and just look at images. Rogues I personally dont think have to be dark but their tendency towards Stealth by far tends to lean people towards playing them darker and playing them with that perspective in mind. Warlocks in my experience tend to play off a dark patron and a darker world as a result. Looking at the Player Handbook subclasses for Warlock: Archfey, not inherently dark but many tend to lean towards characters like the Fairy King who tend to be quite dark rather than a brighter fey, The Fiend, I mean Demons I suppose they could be written brighter but that writing is rather rare, and Great Old One, ah yes what part of Lovecraftian horror isn't bright. Barbarians are often played as dumb brutes who only care about bashing things to death. Now by no means is this the rule but in my experience thats how people tend to play their characters. For Sorcerers very often how their power emerges in their backstory often kills loved ones and does a lot of damage. I personally see why but I think that it can very often lead to a darker character. I won't go over every race but I can make a seperate post later on if some of those aren't clear. They just tend towards darker characters.

This is by no means me saying that dark characters are a bad thing because it isn't but it does make the campaign darker as the campaign should be centered on the characters. So now the issue is how does one while still using D&D and not blocking half the classes from the players do a brighter fantasy setting. In addition, there are very few resources online for writing better bright fantasy but if you search on Youtube Not Grimdark Fantasy you get a series of Grimdark resources. Now obviously it sees the Tag Grimdark but seach Bright Fantasy you get a song. My point is there are limited resources for a Brighter setting but many on a darker one. So how do we go about writing a brighter world, unless anyone has found a brighter title I'm calling it Bright Fantasy. This is because Grimdark is Dark Fantasy so the opposite would inherently be Bright Fantasy.

Well, one primary example of a brighter Fantasy is the earlier pokemon games. For many of these pokemon they use bright and colorful animations and have fun cute stories. Now obviously there are many with dark Poke Entries but to find those you have to dig. The bad guys tend to be evil without really any remorse or if they have a reason its completely ridiculous like Team Magma and Aqua. But, and I recognize many people will be frustrated by this sentence, Generation 4 was the generation to move away from this brighter fantasy. You can catch several gods and even move through the distortion world and even catch the embodiment of death. Now its still a great game, however, from that point on in the series it never really returns to that brighter beginning. It seems like a lot of series that start bright turn dark. Obviously comic books are a great example where now everyone wants to be Dark Knight x Watchman. Even Jak and Daxter the first game is a very bright game but by the second it becomes super dark and depressing where Jak's first words are about murder.

So let me ask, how do I move my campaigns in more of a direction of Bright Fantasy. Some major elements that many stories use to move to a brighter setting is brighter characters. I can make the NPCs brighter but if the main cast is inherently a dark group than the bright fantasy will be too contradictory. It would be like Anakin Skywalker in the land of Teletubbies. Many stories add visuals that are brighter and more pastel colors but since I dont use maps and the like that would be very difficult to do. Many of the things used in other stories aren't options here so if you have any ideas please let me know.I almost forgot one final thing. Villains. So Grimdark villains tend to be morally gray but they do things so bad they can't be forgiven. Brighter Fantasy villains tend to be evil for the sake of being evil so that is something I may use but if the rest of the campaign isn't bright then it may just come off as edgy for the sake of being edgy.

TLDR? It's hard to do a a campaign of a brighter tone because so many mechanics inherently lean for a darker tone, so how do I write a Bright Fantasy in DnD?

1) Death Eater Chronicles (pre-WWI)

2) archived novella for SnapeBang2019

3) A Moment of Lucius (m/m)

4) A Single Daffodil (HPHM)

5) Ginger Root and Regret (Snelawney collab w/ @kc-needs-coffee)

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Every one, effusively. Because I want to express how much each comment shines my soul, and keeps me going.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Death Eater Chronicles. Then @bunny-bopper wrote a fic of this fic for the After the War Collection, and made it even more tragic.

Do you write crossovers? If so what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Teletubbies with Death Eaters. Don't miss this shit.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Never. I got a hilarious comment on FFN where someone read all 20,000 words (available at the time) of Death Eater Chronicles "looking for plot" and was upset there was only smut. I get it, we all read for the articles.

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

It rhymes with Snapey. ( @bunny-bopper told me I can't use that term because it's too cute.)

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No.

What are your writing strengths?

One of the Horsemen (from my writing collective The Four Horsemen) told me my dialogue and reactions are authentic.

What are your writing weaknesses?

My weaknesses show up liberally in original writing, but by their nature are reduced in fanfiction. I'm also blind to them; it's a case of not knowing what you don't know.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Don’t translate it. 

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Street Fighter

What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?

Tinky Winky and the Cursed Children: A Play in One Act is, hands down, the most creative work I've posted, and doesn't get enough credit for the parameters I wrote under!

[i-dont-want-your-hysteria]

omg how does rick allen know you exist bc of a meme i must know this story

hehehehh oh boy... it’s about time I told this entire story (and publicly)

So here it is: Why Rick Allen Knows I Exist Because Of A Meme (the entire story in full)

this took me a while to type out because I had to find the photos and tweets themselves

So back in March (shortly after I made this blog), I woke up one day and thought of how I saw some people call Rick a ray of sunshine, and it made me think of the idea of putting his face on the sun from the Teletubbies

Like this

and about a week or two later I thought “jee, it’d sure be funny to send that photo to Rick over twitter. LoL, he’s probably gonna block me”

So I did. I tweeted it and tagged him in it.

Two days later, it’s Easter, and I open up my phone to the notification “Rick Allen retweeted your tweet”, and my heart fucking STOPPED.

HE ACTUALLY RETWEETED THE FUCKING PHOTO

So then later that day, my  W O N D E R F U L partner in crime @ballistic-lipstick-dream-machine suggested I make a part 2 to the photo, but put all the guys’ faces on the actual Teletubbies this time.

So I made the photo

but I didn’t know what to do with it. For kicks and giggles, I tweeted Rick to ask for permission to make it. 

I should’ve known better than to do it as a joke. 

His response LITERALLY less than 24 hours later?

THE THREE MOST BEAUTIFUL WORDS I’VE EVER SEEN

AND THE CUTEST EMOJI TOO

I was ecstatic. I think I screamed more than once. I might’ve cried. He actually WANTS this shitty meme to be made. So a little while later, I posted it and tagged him again, and vERY eagerly awaited his response for the next two days.

Sure enough, two days later, Rick delivered.

It was hilarious bc after he retweeted that photo, he didn’t tweet at all for like a solid WEEK. I said to myself “if this is the last thing to ever be on Rick’s twitter I’m gonna jump out a window”

This was only the first of many interactions with Rick and Def Leppard’s official twitter. More are sure to come. Every time I think about this I smile and still can’t believe that it happened.

You can even look on Rick’s twitter and go back to the beginning of April for these tweets if you don’t believe me.

The end.

I haven’t actually thought of her particular birthdate because time is weird with Elfame – she’s only been alive 16 of her own years but roughly 600 Earth years passed during that time.Guilty Pleasures: I think she’s kind of embarrassed of her continuing enjoyment of traditional Fae stuff (since she is definitely NOT embarrassed of her love of human stuff) Phobias: Shapeshifters and, to an extent, human biological processes.What They Would Be Famous For: Probably just what she’s famous for in her actual roleplay, which is being the ambassador to another dimension. Pretty big deal.What They Would Get Arrested For: Air traffic crimes with her poorly-parked airship. OC You Ship Them With: I don’t know if I’m allowed to include characters created by other collaborating roleplayers here, but she is in a lovely relationship with a human artist named Aaliyah Bishop (played by @wackd).OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Again, I can’t really think of any of my own characters, so I’m gonna say the cartoon-devil Crumble Bush (also played by @wackd) that is an occasional nemesis of her and her crew. Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Historical fiction.Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Elves being way into nature and trees and stuff. That’s a dryad thing, she should know, she has a dryad grandmother. Talents and/or Powers: Sword and bow, light-manipulation, animal-and-plant controlling pheromones, public speaking, reciting the entirety of Hamilton from memory.Why Someone Might Love Them: She’s kind, passionate, determined, and cheerful. Why Someone Might Hate Them: She’s also stubborn, proud, self-centered, and condescending. How They Change: Odette started out a little more violent and aggressive than she is now, and now tends to try for peaceable, diplomatic solutions first and foremost, and has developed a strict “no killing, no allowing death” policy in her superheroics that I think she lacked before. Why You Love Them:Odette is a blast to play because she has such a forceful, vibrant personality, and it’s really fun to try to work out what exactly her values are, considering both her birth-given position of authority and privilege and her active rejection of several traditions of her homeland.

Full Name: Kang Yu-jin (sometimes goes by “Eugene”, usually goes by “Kang, motherfucker”)Gender and Sexuality: Cis man, homoromantic/homosexualPronouns: He/himEthnicity/Species: Korean-American, human(?) (he’s a Monsterhearts character, so who can be certain of his species?)Birthplace and Birthdate: Delacroix, Louisiana, approx. 1990Guilty Pleasures: Watches shows for very young kids (i.e. Teletubbies, Boohbah, Blue’s Clues, The Upside-Down Show) while highPhobias: Spiders, most copsWhat They Would Be Famous For: Bad vocal covers of rap songs uploaded to YouTubeWhat They Would Get Arrested For: Drug-dealingOC You Ship Them With: Kang has a boyfriend who I haven’t figured out much about yetOC Most Likely To Murder Them: I’m not sure, but probably his teenaged business associate Marguerite Cormier (played by @mukora) if he crosses her. Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Action and/or race (i.e. Fast and the Furious). Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Probably Asians always getting good grades. (I think it’s true for him but, like, only in one class. Chemistry, natch.)Talents and/or Powers: Somehow avoiding getting arrested despite selling every possible drug out of a van in a small town and using his own name as a catchphraseWhy Someone Might Love Them: He’s energetic and charismatic.Why Someone Might Hate Them: He’s obnoxious and he sells drugs to teenagers. How They Change: He hasn’t much, yet.Why You Love Them: Because he’s Kang, motherfucker.

The Day the Weather Died

It was as if her emotions controlled the weather; when she was mad the wind always blew around hard and fast, whipping hair into unkempt swirls. Thunderstorms always seemed present when she was sad. But, when she was happy, oh god when she was happy, the lights in her eyes seemed to shine brighter than the sun in the cloudless sky on those days.

No one, not one single person, was prepared for her to die.

It all began a few days ago, if we want to put this story into context. Her name was Stephanie, and, like most Stephanies, she had a quiet charm to her. She was the type to make witty conversations and stuff her nose into books at every opportunity. You see, Stephanie was a really pretty girl but most guys in high school aren’t interested in the quiet type. They want someone who’ll comfort them while they hurl into their friend’s bushes at weekly Friday night parties. She never seemed to mind, though, willing to go through life without having anyone to call her own, except for her continuously growing collection of books.

I did though, no one that pretty should have to be content with life being lonely. Life’s harsh enough without a forecast of loneliness continuously looming overhead. So, naturally, I invited her out to one of the parties that James was holding. James is like my guy-equivalent to a BFF, I guess. She declined, telling me that she just didn’t have a taste for that “stuff”, which, you know, is totally fine. She, instead, went outside with her books, it wasn’t even sunny outside, just a constant grey with clouds darkening as time went on.

I continued to try and ask her out with different activities in mind. Movies, dinner, nothing would work! Finally, when I was on the verge of losing all hope in having Stephanie go out with me, I took my final shot: starting a book club. You don’t even want to know half of the things James said to me in his usual snarky manner about that one. But, books were Stephanie’s thing, even if they weren’t mine.

I went up to Stephanie and asked, “Hey, I’m starting a book club, but I need help really getting it going. You wanna join as my co-founder and help me find books to read?”

She stared up at me for a long time from her place on the bench outside of the school’s library. I was about to leave, fully giving up, when she smirked and responded in a very Stephanie fashion.

“You don’t read do you, Alex?” It was a pretty rude question, but the look on her face suggested that it would benefit me to go along with it.

“Well, I do when I have to for class, but no one wants to read those bland ‘classics’ for a club,” I replied, trying to match her look with a smirk of my own.

She laughed, and that sound tingled down my spine making me shiver in the summer’s afternoon heat. I felt the sun come out from the clouds as she opened her mouth to reply.

“That’s very true, I’m not sure how many people would willingly read The Great Gatsby or Romeo and Juliet again,” She smiled up at me, her blue-grey hair glistening in the newfound sunlight, a halo forming on her scalp, and honestly it just wasn’t fair that she enlisted the help of Mother Nature to make her even more of an ethereal being.

“Or The Crucible,” I tagged on, she smiled almost seeming impressed with me. We looked at each other in comfortable silence for a small time as a soft breeze blew her hair away from her face, only adding to her beauty.

“So, you’ll help?” I asked cautiously, not wanting to assume.

“Sure, I’ll help, but you have to make the fliers and my name goes first on the founder’s list.”

“Deal.”

We met after school every day for the next few weeks, setting up plans and flier designs. We had a book set up every two weeks, but I couldn’t regret having to read that much if it meant spending this much downtime with her. We would’ve been done a week earlier, but she kept trashing my flier ideas:

“Alex, why is there the baby-sun monstrosity from the Teletubbies in this?”

“Alex, the garbage truck dumping out the books we’ll be reading doesn’t send a very positive message.”

“Alex, this is just me with the club’s name and meeting times badly photo shopped onto my shirt.”

“Alex, this is just a word document with the words ‘COME AND READ, IDIOTS’ in all caps and different colors on it.”

“You know what? Maybe I should just help you with the flier designs…”

Anyways, we eventually got done with a flier that had a background of, what the school names, the Garden of Tranquility, where our meetings would take place since it had benches and, apparently, ‘a calming air’ to it.

“So, I’ll see you next Wednesday?” I asked, packing up the tape we used to put the fliers literally everywhere in this school, even the teacher’s lounge that I didn’t know existed.

“Sure, just make sure you bring the sigh-up sheet, I want to know just how many people are coming to- “

“-to get the right number of books ordered, yeah, I know. I’ll bring it! Don’t you trust me?” I said the last part while batting my eyes in a faux-innocent expression. She attempted to scoff her smile away, but her lips still curved upwards.

“Just be here for lunch Wednesday, I don’t want to be left gathering signatures alone,” she said with a certain finality in her tone. She waited for me to nod before turning and walking to the doors that led out to the student parking lot. I waited around the school, noticing how empty the halls felt, echoing a chorus of silence all around me. I finally allowed myself to leave the hallway, heading to my own car in the parking lot. The sun still shone with pride, and I basked in its rays for all the happiness that shone out of them.

The first day we were camped outside of the lunchroom to collect signatures was surprisingly anything but lackluster. Only about 5 people ended up signing up for the club, but Stephanie smiled each time someone even neared the desk we sat at. The day was bright and happy, and as we packed up we made small conversations about random things we could do in the club.

James walked up to us, and I immediately took a step forward to greet him.

“Hey, James! Are you going to sign up for the book club, too?” He sneered at that, I knew he didn’t particularly like books any better than I did.

“Do I look like some random nerd or recluse that stays inside and jams their ugly nose into page after page, Alex? I’m not like Steph over there.” Stephanie definitely wasn’t expecting that any more than I was.

“I’ll see you tomorrow, Alex.”

“Wait, Steph-” I attempted to get her to turn back, but she was already walking outside. The sun seemed to turn cold as a harsh wind started, being so loud as to hear it within the brick walls of the school. Sleet started to beat down audibly on the concrete walkway as she disappeared beyond my vision.

“I seriously can’t believe you would go this far for a date, it’s honestly just a little pathetic,” James stated, unperturbed by the sudden change in weather.

“And rudely calling a girl an ugly nerd is even more pathetic, like, on a whole other level.” I stalked off, not paying any mind to how dumbstruck he looked at that moment, how could I, Alex Chambers, defend a book nerd? Questions like that undoubtedly running through his mind.  

I know that I should’ve said something to James immediately after he said that about Stephanie, but I was too busy watching her to think about how to reply then.

We were supposed to meet after school that day with our collected signatures and a plan on how to direct discussions about the book, Switched which is the first of The Trylle Novels, but I couldn’t stand to wait that long to see her after what had happened with James. I got to school about 25 minutes early and went directly into the library, expecting her to be there reading on one of the couches. Normally she would read outside in the garden where our book club meetings were planned to be, but the weather outside was still temperamental, constantly raining or sleeting, and when it wasn’t doing either the clouds always seemed to be looming overhead, constantly dark and threatening a downpour at any moment.

She was nowhere to be found in the library and a terrible thought entered my mind; what if she was outside reading in the garden? There was a small canopy to protect some of the center benches from the rain, but it wasn’t made to hold in weather like today’s. If she was outside, then she would be absolutely soaked before she came in, knowing how stubborn she could be.

Armed with only an umbrella in hand, I made my way outside to find Stephanie. As I made my way around the garden, in search of her, I heard a soft voice. The voice was loud, but then withered away in volume as I approached the source. Stephanie was reading to herself on the bench, she was able to shelter all of herself and her things away from the rain underneath the canopy. She looked up at and locked eyes with mine as I stood above her.

“What do you want, Alex?” She said it in a monotone and controlled voice, but her eyes showed the pain and sorrow she was truly feeling.

“For you to come back inside.” Her eyes bore into mine, as if expecting to see lies in them. As if there would be a reason to say no that she could decipher in my gaze.

“Why? Don’t you want to hang out with non-ugly people, like James?” Her voice broke when she said what James had earlier called her.

“I’d sooner die than think of you as ugly.”

“Are you still hanging out with him?”

“No, I tried to get him to apologize and I assume that he hasn’t.” James had said that he would think about it, only because he ‘didn’t want my girlfriend blaming him’ for our ‘first fight’.

“Why would he try and refute something he knows to be true?” She sniffed, talking a little like the Stephanie I knew.

“Well then, he’s got his head full of those ‘Alternative Facts’.” She chuckled at that, a small, bell-like noise that instantly enraptured me.

She continued to look up at me with a partial smile, as if she was trying to decide what to do from here. I supplied her an option.

“Come on, let’s go inside. It’ll look bad if you show up to the first meeting completely drenched.”

“Fine, but you’re buying me lunch today,” she said, smirking. I reached out my hand to pull her to her feet.

“Anything, Princess.”

How long have we been dating for now?” Stephanie asks me, it’s been a year and two months since we started the club.

“Depends how you define the beginning of our relationship.”

“What do you mean?” Her hair was still a vibrant shade of blue, glistening as it blew back in the wind.

“Well, did we start dating once the club started? When I pulled you inside from the rain? When I forced you to eat something other than takeout for dinner?” Our hands were linked, a silent promise as we walked the long since abandoned trail in the middle of the park. Reminiscing on our high school years seemed overly dramatic; we only graduated six months ago.

“Good point. And by the way, you did not ‘force’ me to go to Ruby Tuesdays.” Her voice carried a slight tone of snarkiness, but the sun still shone promising overhead.

“Oh yeah? I had to take your purse away, just to get you to let me take you out someplace!” Her smile widened as she looked at me.

“And just think about how creepy that makes you seem,” she thought over, “’How did you two meet?’ ‘Oh, Alex over there stole my purse and forced me to go out with him.” Her laugh tinkled through the air at the implication I was some creepy, harassing stalker.

“It worked didn’t it?”

“True.” She leaned over and kissed me. Here, in the middle of nowhere, I’ve never felt more found.

I leaned over the hospital bed that the nurses had moved her to after she finished this round of chemo. Her body looked so frail, and clouds continued to stay overcast outside. Her once shiny, blue hair now grey with stress. She asked me to dye it back to blue if she died, saying she was envious of my purple hair.

We’ve been married for ten years; I had proposed once we graduated college. Only fifteen short years have we been together. And now, no one believed that we would get any more time than that.

She looks down at my eyes, her own filling with tears. We know that she’s not living through the night. It starts to rain outside. I hear thunder, lightening. Even now, she makes me feel more that I ever would without her.

I can’t lose her. Not now. Not ever.

“Alex…”

“No.”

“Alex, please.”

“No, it’s not over. Not yet.”

“Alexis, I love you.”

The line on the monitor on the other side of her bed fell flat. A single tone echoes throughout the room. There was nothing.

There was an absence; nothing to feel, nothing to see. The world feels blank. Feels nothing. Dr. Hartford says that it’s depression, that she can help me. I think she’s lying.
