Really enjoy your work and so excited requests are open! Would you please do a Karube secret dating Arisu’s sister headcannons?

Being Arisu's sister and secretly dating Karube Headcannons!

A/N: Karube, my first beloved ♥ And thank you so much for reading my works! To everyone, really! Makes me so happy when I get positive feedback in my ask box <3

Pairing: Karube x Arisu's Sister!Reader

Warning: I refuse to let him die in these headcanons, all of these were before borderlands (or it doesn't exist and the meteors decided to fuck off)

Feedback is highly appreciated!!!

he most likely first met you when he was in highschool with arisu where they just became friends

like 6 weeks maybe

him, chota and arisu just walking down the school hallway

all laughing and shit

then you walk in and go to arisu

"hey bro"

then you leave after, and karube is just all ♥

he turns to arisu and like wants him to confirm if you're really his sister

i have a feeling that this man would flirt with you ALL the time

and he backs off a bit when arisu is present

but he still sends you like air kisses and winks behind his back

maybe another flirty remark

but arisu is either too busy on his phone playing or like he doesn't understand what just happened in front of him

because your brother isn't that experienced in flirting

you giggle and snicker at every silly thing he sends and does your way

he's just silly like that

when you and karube do get together,

you both came up with the idea to not tell arisu yet

because it doesn't matter if you're older or younger,

arisu wants to protect your ass

and it honestly scares you how he would react

even though karube could most likely toss his ass (sorry arisu, love u)

people may think that sneaking around is too tiring and exhausting but

this man manages to make it fun

almost like playing a hide and seek game

like what i did there?

anyways-

he'd shower you in kisses before you leave

he does the same when he needs to go somewhere too

can we all agree that karube could be such a romantic simp?

he denies it

and then the next second he's cupping both your hands with his and looking at you in the eyes so sweetly

would like to hold your hand every second but cant because, yk

karubae indeed.

he would totally be the type to like run out of your window as you tell him the coast is clear because arisu is back home but like while he is midway running out your lawn and about to climb the fence, he would run back to you and kiss you before leaving again

just like that one scene in friends where chandler comes back to kiss monica when they almost got caught

idk, i just see it

and it's so cute

he would bring you flowers on special occasions

and then you'd have to make up an excuse or lie about why there's new flowers in the house

when karube would hang out with arisu and chota, they would be like eating or making fun of each other

and then his phone would ding

and it's a message from you

chota and arisu would tease him for like smiling at that text message you sent

man, does arisu not know what's coming for him

if the teasing gets too much, karube would start to joke that it might be their sister (both to arisu and chota.. if chota has a sibling or something)

and chota would start to laugh at karube

meanwhile arisu would snicker and say that you wouldn't like him

👀

well

karube would just start chuckling and then the night would continue

oh and he will fight anybody who starts to threaten you

when he senses that you're in danger,

expect him to start throwing hands at your aggressor

and then immediately would hold your hand like nothing happened

and then enjoy all the praises and compliments you shower him

he's such a ♥♥

there would be nights where you would tell arisu that you were gonna hang out with some friends

and then go to karube's bar when he decided to close early for the night

then both of you would just chill out there and just talk all night

and if you're okay with it, he would tell you about how he pictured he'd spend the rest of his life with you

because he would want to

and he's so happy to have you in his arms right now

and if you drink then he'd make drinks for the both of you

but he always keeps an eye on how many you drank because its gonna be a problem when you come back home, smelling like a familiar scent of alcohol

cuddle man

this man cuddles like crazy

would whisper in your ear and just hold you close

both of you would also start pillow or tickle fights

mostly ended up with you on the ground crying and laughing your ass off

he loves your giggles and would do anything silly and funny just to hear it

if you give him gifts,

then he's practically melting

like he would think it's so cute

but he'd tease a lot

cause he's karube.

chota and arisu are honestly quite annoyed that karube won't let them know who's his new girlfriend is

tells them to back off

oh and there's a lot of side glancing between you and karube when your in the same room together

and oh my lord,

if arisu finds out.

he'd think it's so wonderful, so cute

but he's also pretty shocked and furious

mostly angry because both of y'all didnt tell him and he becomes so pouty

i dont know why but i have a SLIGHT feeling that arisu may start chasing karube as karube would retreat and hide behind you

cause he doesnt want to hurt your brother NOR does he want your brother to hurt him

but mostly the first one

it would probably look like a tiny puppy trying to fight a bear

but all in all, arisu is supportive and karube teases arisu a lot about it

#ben has a weird accent and sometimes i cant understand what hes saying#oh well ill run with it

@attichoney4u if you have trouble reading his accent you are going to have a hell of a time if you listen to it spoken. Here’s an older video of CBC comedian Mark Critch demonstrating the accent that I love to share with anyone from abroad. The accent is most often likened to a “flattened” Irish because there is such an obviously strong Irish influence, but depending where in the province you go the French or Portuguese influences sometimes stick out a little more. The expressions themselves are very particular to Newfoundland, and the provincial tourism channel even has several dedicated videos to explaining the vocabulary.

One of the main jokes back when we were doing IAMP for youtube was that Ben is almost completely unintelligible to everyone else, which isn’t far from the truth, but I don’t think there was ever a very unified effort to understand how to write the accent properly. I went to school with a lot of kids who were pressured or even bullied to hide their east coast accents (whether from Newfoundland or the Maritime provinces) so this is kind of my attempt to give it a better representation with what I know now  I guess? I dunno :’)

#have to be careful linking videos with cbc stars in em #i have a zillion 22 minutes skits i would link but they are much more likely to be region locked outside of canada sigh #but you can look up the accent and see what comes up etc #hapo replies #realised in retrospect after peeping at some republic of doyle scripts that i should have wrote nuddin' instead of nuttin' #maybe i'll go back and edit

[ jessica alba | cis woman | she/her | forty-three ] ——   welcome to grimrose, barbara ortega. it’s cool that you’re here, you know. haven’t you heard of the history of this place… anyway, how’s being a tourist who has been in town for one week, especially since you spend most of your days as a fictional romance author? also, not that it’s a bad thing, of course, but i’ve heard people say you can be a little melodramatic more than you are charismatic… but that’s just coming from people who are bored here, i promise. to me, you remind me of dreams by the cranberries and deep red wine filled to the brim of a glass, a tightness in your chest that loosens faster than anticipated, and the realization that you never knew what real love was until you lost it. hope to see you around, barbie.

pinterest | inspos: charlotte york (sex and the city), izzie stevens (greys anatomy), helen (bridesmaids), hermione granger (harry potter), the protagonist in like, any hallmark movie lol

full name — barbara dolores ortega torres nickname(s) — barbie name meaning — foreign, exotic, strange age — forty-three date of birth — july 1st place of birth — miami, florida current location — grimrose, new hampshire gender — cis woman pronouns — she / her religion — catholic, non-practicing occupation — fictional romance author education level — masters degree in creative writing residence — renting out a room at the white whale inn family — christian torres, ex-husband & gabriella torres, daughter & parents and older siblings finances — pretty well off from her (ex)husbands business mixed with her own money from multiple publications spoken languages — english, spanish faceclaim / voiceclaim — jessica alba

background — tw: divorce

barbara ortega grew up with an amazingly supportive family. as the youngest of her siblings, she was always the baby of the family and treated especially as such by her parents. she’s still incredibly close with them, even her siblings.

barbie is a hopeless romantic, however. she fell in love with her first and only boyfriend in middle school and thats the only love she has ever known. the two got married right out of high school and stayed together just up until now. the minute their daughter, gabriella, walked out of the doors to head to her first year in college, barbie’s husband, christian, told her that he was leaving her.

thankfully, barbie is a pretty well known romance author to some. she’s not as successful as she hopes to be ( not knowing that all her books are the same vanilla love story rn ). since there isn’t anything tying her to miami anymore, she decides to head to the coast. take some time to herself while still under the pressures of writing chapters for her next novel. one she has been having writers block with. she cant seem to find the love in her own loveless life now.

shes only been in grimrose for a week after spending a few months mourning her one and only love. mourning the relationship and the fact that is was over in 5 seconds flat. now, she wants to try and move forward, even when everything seems to be pulling her back. she hopes grimrose will give her a boost of what she needs to finish this next book and go back to miami and see if she can work things out with christian ( until she realizes even she doesn’t want that ).

headcanons — tw: pregnancy, pregnancy difficulties

barbie secretly wishes she was able to give gabriella the same big family lifestyle that she had growing up, but barbie’s pregnancy was too difficult and dangerous for her to think about having more children. it broke her heart, but she knew to accept anything that life threw at her.

barbie can be a bit high strung. she likes order, following deadlines, and doing things without distress or mess. she blames this on living in such a chaotic household growing up, but she wouldn’t change a thing. she’s hoping this divorce and a lack of schedule will help her grow out of it a bit.

her most recent novel was a big flop. its messed with barbie’s head, especially when facing strict deadlines now for this new novel that she can’t seem to write. she’s thinking of doing something different maybe, however she needs inspiration — this is why she chose to leave miami for some time and visit someplace new.

You mentioned going in and out of time zones for 8 years. How come?

Im asking about you lore, because im parasocialising.

LOLLLL *is parasocialized*

ive lived between japan and america for a long time!!! starting in high school i spent most summers in japan before i moved here for real for the first time when i was 20………. i grew up in the states, but ive spent most of my ~adult life~ living in japan (which is weird to think about 0_0) so i go back and forth a lotttt a lot. i used to joke about how i spent all of 2018 jetlagged bc i was back and forth so much lol. before covid hit, when i was living in the states, i also bounced between both coasts and also the midwest staying with friends a lot so i always felt just a liiiittle off whatever timezone i was in i guess……….

ive kind of had this weird adolescence/young adult life where im like, far from home and homesick all the time, but when i move “home” i never feel like staying so im off again before long. lots of hanging out in airports solo, lots of memorizing world clocks to see when your friends/family will be awake, lots of…. going in and out of timezones i guess?!??!? i dunno!!! is that interesting lore lol I ALWAYS JOKE ABOUT MY OWN LORE AND NOW I CANT THINK OF ANY

#ask me about the first rpf ship i popularized (not awtto). now THERES A story #no im jk THANK U FOR ASKING T___T its so sweet lol #its so funny the concept of being parasocialized i have such affection for everyone who follows me on here and reads my posts ty #i feel like my most fun and funny lore is shit ive done w my friends while living in the states…ive had a cool n fun life so far :’) #mail time!

omggg hi! 25 21 update pleaseee! fav characters, fav scenes and so on. rant your head off, please and thank you

finally someone asked me to talk about this show (i wouldve still talked about it but still thanks) im halfway thru Episode 5 btw.

Characters:

Na Heedo: remember how i said i want to protect her after reading your synopsis? the adoption papers are under process right now. she feels like a younger sister, so full of life, so full of hope, full of joy and bravery. she is so simple in her view in life, she has barely any forethought. she no has filter in her expression, and that makes her such a genuine and caring person. Her smiles the widest smile ive ever seen (im obsessed with her smile btw), then in the next scene her eyes are teary. she screams, she whines, she even throws her body around. bc she lives her life dramatically. and given the nature of the show i know she’ll grow up and time will take these things away from her. and i want to protect her from all of that. the faith that she has in herself. when no one believes that she has it in her, when she has no achievements to show for herself. She decides fencing is her destiny, she decides she’ll reach the top, and she makes it happen. For her, liking fencing, the excitement it makes her feel, is reason enough to stand against all the disbelief. I wish i had that too.

Baek Yijin: i intially thought he is the love interest former rich kid and i couldnt care less about him. Guess who was bawling her eyes out in Ep 2? I quickly realized that he is the one dealing with the actual adult repercussions of the IMF crisis. He used to be fun and popular, he had good grades, he wanted to go to NASA. but overnight he lost his dream, and most importantly, his family. watching him face humiliation after humiliation, worry over his brother, yearn for contact with his father, broke my heart. its easy to forget, he is just 22, too young to stand on his feet and face the creditors hounding at his door. He had his whole life ahead of him, and now all the good things in his life are gone. I remember the look in his face in the school flashback. I want that back for him. I want his happiness back.

Ko Yurim: i think the writers are showing her from a distant POV right now and will go in-depth with her character later. but yes i do have some resentment for her. I am genuinely confused as to why she cant stand Heedo. If its simply because she is worried that she’ll overtake her, im sorry but that’s not a good look. I understand the pressure she feels to follow up her gold medal, but unfortunately as of right now that doesnt balance it out for me.

Heedo’s Mom: i know she means well. but her view at her daughter is incomplete, she doesnt even know who she is, what she wants. and the parts she does see are always the ones she interprets negatively. she doesnt believe in her, and that ‘rejection’, you might say, hurts her deeply. That hits too close to home. Usually all that a kid want from parents is their support. They want them to accept them, for their achievements and their mistakes. And not getting that can haunt children forever. “That’s who you are to me. You’re someone i dont want to talk to” 💔

Coach Yang: she is so funny, and the accent, i keep trying to copy it lol. i initially thought that she’d be the tough love kind of coach, but i was surprised that from time to time she praised Heedo and made her aware of her little achievements and her strengths, and also valuable insight on the specific things she needs to work on. Like Heedo mentions in her monolouge, other than Yijin, she is the only one who has shown trust in her.

There hasnt been too much on Jiwoong and Seungwan’s characters yet so 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Jiwoong is a damn smooth flirter. he doesnt come off pushy, and his compliments feel genuine. Yurim seems to respond, the coast is clear given that she actually moves on from Yijin lol.

And Seungwan im really intrigued by bc she’s the top student and i immediately empathize lol. and another reason why i wanted to watch the show was that i saw a gifset of a scene between her and her mom. and i really need to get to the context of the scene.

So this was supposed to have a General Thoughts segment but this is already way too long so ill make the second post on my blog please check it out over there!!!

Life Out West

I moved to the west coast from the midwest a few months ago, i moved in with my adopted mom who lives with her friend.

it has been pretty crazy. not necessarily in a good way.

i went back to school in october. i dropped out in my junior year (start of the pandemic), tried an alternative school in my home town, and eventually just lost hope in my education. well, when i got out here i decided to pursue further education, which meant i had to graduate/get a GED. i chose to get my diploma and finished school in three weeks. i also made a couple of friends.

after i graduated, i applied to a few jobs. i now work in a grocery store! i love it there, my coworkers are so kind. unfortunately ive gotten sick this week, so i cant go in for a day or two, maybe more.

when i first got out west, i was so happy to finally be away from my hometown. my (adopted) mother was/is living with her friend (my adopted aunt). my aunt’s daughter and her fiancé were also living with us. it wasn’t terrible for the first couple weeks. the daughter’s three kids, a pre-teen and younger twins, would come over every other weekend. each weekend they were here after the first, the pre-teen would act out more and more.

 in early october, the daughter and her fiancé decided to get married on his anniversary with his ex-wife. fine, whatever, okay. so everyone scrambled to get things set up for the wedding, which was at my aunt’s house. everyone was on edge, up until the day of the wedding. only the pre-teen threw a fit after the ceremony because she didnt want to be in any pictures. the day after the wedding, the now wife and husband were already causing more chaos than usual. constantly fighting with each other and my aunt. well, one day my aunt refused to watch the kids, then hubby and wife accused her of doing drugs, cue the worst, most mind-numbing and depressing week ever. hubby and wife turned on everyone except me. they moved out and now aunt cant see the grandkids for who knows how long.

my aunt is, unfortunately, so so so similar to my biological mom. i wont list the similarities, but they really would be best friends in different circumstances. my aunt loves drama, and since her kid left, she’s really only had my mom and i to interact with at home. which is worse for my mom because she’s now her main target everytime she gets mad. 

i hate to say it but i dont like living here. my mom isnt so bad, but her mothering is suffocating, and mildly triggering. i do not want to move back to where i used to live, and i dont think i ever will. but it would be nice if i could just live with less angry people. people my age preferably? i have my own issues, so my life will never be without a little chaos or drama, but i have time to fix my issues, learn to work with them. my aunt seems to not care about fixing her problems, and i honestly dont see any hope for her. she just keeps gravitating towards dramatic, toxic people, but then she turns around and says she’s cutting the toxic out of her life? that doesn’t make sense.

i know no one reads these, and that’s okay. it really is just like a journal and i never expected it to be anything else. but if you are reading this, have a beautiful day.

6/9

I feel like this was the culmination and the breaking point.

I moved across the country for college. Left a smallish city in Oregon for Boston, Massachusetts. 

I had a dog before I moved, he died suddenly and traumatically back in late July. I’d been at work, my brothers were supposed to watch him and our other dog, they let them out in the backyard and forgot about them, something common. He got out of the yard, another common thing. But this time he got out on a busy road, got hit, luckily a family friend drove by and saw him, she held him while he passed and took him home with her till my dad could pick him up after work. I loved this dog, he was my soulmate honestly. I’d sit and talk and talk about how much I couldn’t wait to move out and take him with me. He was a flashy faun boxer, light brown fur with white splashes on his chest and a white line down the middle of his face, I’d sit on the ground and hug him and he’d press his face to mine so my nose would rest between his eyebrows and we’d just sit there.

I found out on my way home from work, cried the whole walk home and spent the next hour sobbing in my kitchen telling my brothers it wasn’t their fault. It was, obviously, I don’t want them to feel guilty or like they are to blame, because hundreds of other factors go into his death. But they knew not to leave them outside unwatched and they knew he had a habit of running off. My dad picked his body up and he was buried later that day, underneath the same tree as our other dogs.

After this I was definitely...numb. I was torn between being so viciously angry and so sad that I couldn’t do much more than follow the motions of life and try to get over it. 

A month later I left for school.

Small transphobic school on the east coast, a nudist minor for a roommate, and a friend group led by a possessive and controlling asshole. Set up for success. My dream school was across the street, I had planned on transferring over there, but thats the point of this days entry.

Yesterday I had a call with the man in charge of financial aid at the school and was trying to talk to him about getting more aid so I would be able to attend.

Backstory, I don’t have FAFSA due to issues with my parents, and a cool thing is that without FAFSA you cant apply for most additional aid opportunities or get a federal loan, because the school cant decide wether you need the additional money or not. I was paying alone, had to beg my dad to cosign my loan for me, but he let me know it’s all on me. I paid for everything on my own for college, the whole shebang. 

But he let me know that without FAFSA the school can’t give me any more money. So just like that, my dream school is out of the question, I cant go back to my original school because they only guarantee housing for freshman so I wouldn’t be able to get housing. 

My mom already let me know that if I decide to take a gap year I’m not allowed to stay at their house for it, this is layered on top of the threats of kicking me out that she’s already laid out for me.

So...I have until late August to either find a new school to last second accept me or find a place to move into, try to convince some of my friends to move out or something. 

Anyways it all just kind of came to a point today because my middle brother had been complaining about some of my baking attempts. I used to be really good at baking but bread has always been a weak point. Tried it once when i got home and it didnt work, tried a cake the same day and it also didnt come out right, they both got tossed. Made shortbread cookies and everyone also complained about how gross they were. I get it, but the whole point was adding the curd on top, but they all ignored that. Yesterday after my call I decided to try bread again. Whipped up some premade brownie mix my mom bought too. I don’t know where the brownies went wrong but they burnt on the bottom and stayed raw in the middle. Bread looked promising, rose up amazing, I baked it, and I liked it! Pretty dense in the middle but I was excited, the first bread loaf I ever got to properly rise and bake. My brother tried it yesterday and spent a solid 5 minutes complaining about how gross it was and fake gagging/coughing. Today my mom grabbed it, only halfway eaten maybe, asked if it was okay to throw away, I just nodded, upset, but my brother cut in again with the fake gagging and talking about how gross it was, he goaded her to eat a slice, which she threw away after one bite and joined in complaining about the denseness and lack of taste. 

I understand it’s gross, and I understand it’s pathetic and embarrassing complaining about this as an 18 year old, I’d say its because I never learned to accept constructive criticism, but it’s not really constructive at that point. Afterwards my brother complained that every time I bake nothing ever comes out or tastes good. 

After that, I stayed sat at the computer, while my mom jokingly asked “didnt you miss your brother?” I nodded, I did. 

I talked about my family constantly, how excited I was for them to meet my parents when they came to help me pack to come home from school (they didnt end up coming, pretty embarrassing after talking it up for 8 months), I’d drag them to the school mailboxes at least once a week, hoping for a post card, a note, anything really in response to the copious amounts I’d sent them over the months. None ever came, a few from my aunt, some from my grandma, never any from my parents or family. 

None of them cried when I left for school, I remember the distress when my older brother left. When I came back for Christmas my middle brother had told me that he didn’t miss me, that he knew I was coming back so why would he. I like to think I have a tight grip on my emotions but my heart definitely broke in that moment. I’ve always been closest to my middle brother. 

My brother interrupted my nodding, to talk about how much he hadn’t missed me. How he hated that I was back home. How he thought I was so cool the summer before I left, and that when I came back for Christmas he was glad when I finally left, that he can’t wait till I leave again. It hasn’t even been a month yet and he’s already so excited for me to be gone. My mom had laughed, scolded him in the shitty way moms do towards their favorite kids, the “haha, dont be mean” but she didn’t have anything else to say when he continued with it.

I hate how much I missed my family when I left, how I excitedly talked them up, how funny all my brothers are, how much I couldn’t wait to go home and see them all again. And instead this is the worst. They don’t like me, they don’t want me back here. I had to pack up my room when I left, they wanted to move my youngest brother into my room, we have enough rooms in the house that I could have kept a bedroom here, they knew I’d be back for the summer after all. But instead most of my shit is gone, the other packed in the 3 allowed storage bins I was allowed to keep. Everything I took to school fit in one suitcase and a backpack for a carry on. I live in the ‘guest bedroom’ it’s a bed and a rug and a sauna my mom got for Christmas. 

When I first got back all my mom did was complain that I’m staying in her sauna room. 

There’s something about having your presence in your house be wiped out. To wake up in a room that isn’t yours that you aren’t allowed to decorate beyond whatever stuffed animals are on your bed. 

There’s nothing for me here, nothing to do. 

All my hobbies were thrown out last August all my shit is packed away in bins my parents dont want me unpacking since I’ll be gone next August anyways, whats three months in an empty room? 

I get made fun of if I sit at the kitchen table to write, I get made fun of for sitting on the couch, I get made fun of if I stay in my room. 

There’s nowhere for me to go here. I sit on the back porch with my dog while it rains and clench my jaw till my ears are sore.

5e Samira, the Desert Rose build (League of Legends)

(Artwork by Jessica 'OwleyCat' Oyhenart. Made for Riot Games.)

Still fucking hate this champ but her theme still slaps.

The eternal joke of me putting off making a build for Samira is finally over, though ironically enough my distain for this champ has only grown overtime. Jesus fucking Christ Rito can you nerf this champ’s goddamn damage? Like nerfing her lifesteal is nice and all but it doesn’t mean shit when my dumbfuck teammates picked 4 assassins into her and I’m the only one who can CC her as a Lulu.

Ah well: Samira still definitely fills a fantasy everyone wants, being a badass with sword and gun styling on the competition. Devil May Cry? Yeah I suppose Samira would be pretty good in a campaign against Fiends.

GOALS

You want style? You've found her - Smile, Sweet, Sister, Sadistic; we’ll need to Surprise the Service with Style to Spare. Sssssssssssssssssamira.

Eyes up! - We’ll need to be everywhere at once, dashing and dancing around the battlefield so no one can lock us down.

Showtime! - When push comes to shove it’s time to speeeeeeeeeen~

RACE

Samira is human no matter what the meta might dictate, and for once in my life I actually want something particular from Variant Human. But firstly: you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1: increase both Dexterity and Wisdom for sharp sight and sharper shots. You also get a skill of your choice and a language of your pleasing. For your skill take Slight of Hand for flips and other gun tricks, and for your language Infernal will be good for your Inferno Trigger.

Again: we came to Variant Human land for a Feat because two guns are better than one. The Crossbow Expert Feat will give you a variety of benefits: no need to reload (or at least the ability to ignore the Loading property), no disadvantage in melee range... But most importantly if you fire a Hand Crossbow (which will be working as our handgun in this build) you can fire it again as a Bonus Action! "Well! Look at you."

ABILITY SCORES

15; DEXTERITY - Dexterity is tied to both shooting and backflips.

14; CHARISMA - Who needs a military license when you’ve got style?

13; WISDOM - Wisdom measures how in-tune you are with the world around you, and you need heightened senses not to die doing stupid shit.

12; CONSTITUTION - Most of Samira’s sustain comes from Lifesteal but we won’t really be able to get lifesteal, so just focus on not dying really.

10; STRENGTH - It takes a lot of upper body strength to do the stuff that Samira does but Riot isn’t about to make another Illaoi.

8; INTELLIGENCE - Your primary goal is to do things as recklessly and dangerously as possible... “for the Vine” as the kids say. Vine shut down ages ago!

BACKGROUND

Samira is a mercenary. I wonder if there’s a background for that... hey look at that Mercenary Veteran in the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide! You get proficiency in Athletics and Persuasion as well as Ground Vehicles and a gaming set of your choice. But of course the main benefit of being a mercenary is the Mercenary Life. You can easily identify other mercenaries and know bits and pieces of their lives. You can also easily find work by hanging around taverns and such until Captain Indari passes on some info to you.

(Artwork made for Riot Games)

THE BUILD

LEVEL 1 - ROGUE 1

Starting off as a Rogue because I like skill proficiencies! Skills like Acrobatics, Perception, Insight, and Performance; you were a street performer once! You also get Expertise in two of those skills: Acrobatics and Athletics are necessary to be everywhere at once.

You can chat in Noxian military code thanks to Thieves’ Cant, but c’mon that’s not what we’re here for. We’re here for Sneak Attack! If an enemy is distracted or you have advantage you can stick a d6 where the sun don’t shine!

LEVEL 2 - ROGUE 2

Second level Rogues get Cunning Action, letting them Dash, Disengage, or Hide as a Bonus Action. Dance around the battlefield like an Olympic gymnast... does Runeterra have the Olympics?

LEVEL 3 - ROGUE 3

Third level Rogues get to choose their Roguish Archetype: to be the queen of style and also make people think you’re from Bilgewater (yeah I get it; it’s because of the eyepatch) look no further than the Swashbuckler subclass. Swashbucklers get two abilities at level 1 but honestly it’s more like three abilities: Rakish Audacity will let you add your Charisma modifier to initiative rolls so you can get into fights fast, and will also let you Sneak Attack anyone who’s beside you. I’d consider it less like you sneak attacking them and more like you slashing them with your sword. Oh and speaking of Sneak Attack? That increases to 2d6 now.

Speaking of sword slashing: Fancy Footwork is the mobile feat! Well, it makes it so that after you try to make a melee attack against an enemy you can move away without provoking opportunity attacks. It’s a little weird to run around with a sword in one hand and a gun in the other but you can easily slash at someone before backflipping away and running off to shoot them next turn!

LEVEL 4 - BARD 1

You didn’t think we’d be settling for just one class, did you? It’s time to go Bard; the masters of style! Bards get another skill proficiency at level 1 because why not be good at everything? Grab Medicine proficiency because it’s good to know how to bandage yourself up when living a dangerous lifestyle. “On my worst behavior." You also get a musical instrument and you know that I’ll always opt for good ol’ Noxian War Drums.

Bards get Bardic Inspiration, letting them show off their awesomeness so that awesomeness radiates onto their allies to give them a d6 to attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. You’ve got a number of these equal to your Charisma modifier, and regain them at the end of a Long Rest. For now, at least.

And of course while you may be all guns your style makes it look like Spellcasting... because it is. Bards get 2 cantrips and 4 spells at level 1:

CANTRIPS

Prestidigitation will let you put all the visual flair you could want on your moves, and more!

If you wanna walk the walk you’ve gotta talk the talk, and Vicious Mockery will let you talk smack so hard they can’t hit back! "Keep the change; you're gonna need it."

SPELLS

Magic is usually dangerous, and danger is usually fun! Take Detect Magic to see where that danger may be!

If you need some space in a pinch Thunderwave will give yourself some peel.

Steel yourself to do something crazy with Heroism, which will also give you a bit of a shield to do so!

You are still technically working for Noxus so it would be good to Identify anything important... or valuable... For safe keeping of course!

LEVEL 5 - BARD 2

Second level Bards truly are good at everything thanks to Jack of All Trades, letting you add half your proficiency bonus to any skill you don’t have proficiency in. You probably noticed that we already have proficiency in a silly amount of skills but I’m not going to say no to MORE!

After dangerous stunts it’s good to cool off with a Song of Rest, letting you help your crew with a d6 of healing during short rests to bandage up those wounds.

And of course: more spells! Faerie Fire will let you light ‘em up to get advantage, which will make it easier to sneak attack!

LEVEL 6 - BARD 3

Third level Bards get Expertise in two more skills: Perception will help you spot danger and Medicine will help you after dealing with danger.

But of course what we’re mainly here for is your Bardic College and in order to be too cool for school go for the College of Swords. You get some Bonus Proficiencies that don’t really matter but what does matter is you can use your sword to cast spells instead of a drum! Additionally you get a choice of Fighting Style and Dueling will make your sword swings do more damage if you swing it with one hand. I guess it’s worth mentioning that while a rapier would do the most damage a scimitar is the only finesse weapon that does slashing? (Excluding whips.)

But the main feature we’re here for is Blade Flourish which despite the name does also work with your hand crossbows. When you attack your movement speed increases by 10 feet as you charge up that Daredevil Impulse. If you hit with your shot however you can make a Blade Flourish (which again works with your hand crossbows?) of your choice from the following list:

Defensive Flourish does extra damage and also increases your AC as you dodge incoming projectiles.

Slashing Flourish will let you cleave with your sword (and just your sword because it only works on nearby enemies.)

Mobile Flourish will let you chase after a fleeing foe... after pushing them. But after shoving them into danger you can use your reaction to dive right in!

You can only use one Blade Flourish per turn which will matter later. As for what will matter now? Second level spells! Enhance Ability will help you give 110%!

LEVEL 7 - BARD 4

Heeey it’s about time we got an Ability Score Improvement! Our Dexterity has been lacking and you need that to fire straight!

Word of advice: if you know you aren’t going to level 20 feel free to get 4 levels in Rogue for the sake of the ASI.

You also get another spell, and another cantrip! For your cantrip Message is always good for keeping in team chat. For leveled spells Warding Wind does let you deflect nearby projectiles so... 

LEVEL 8 - BARD 5

5th level Bards get Font of Inspiration so their Bardic Inspiration die come back on a Short Rest, which is good because said Bardic Inspiration die also increases to a d8! Oh and when I say “Bardic Inspiration” I actually mean your Blade Flourish die. "If you can't keep up don't step up. I don't have time for fools."

And now third level spells are up on the table, but they all suck so take Mirror Image from the second level instead, which was added to the Bard spell list thanks to Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything!

LEVEL 9 - RANGER 1

Three way multiclass? Don’t mind if I do! You get an extra skill proficiency by multiclassing into Ranger, because why not. Take Survival because you’re clearly damn good at it since you’re still alive.

Rangers get Deft Explorer at level 1 because Natural Explorer sucks and Tasha’s made Ranger a good class! Canny lets you learn two languages (honestly just pick your poison) and get Expertise in another skill, because lord knows we don’t have enough of those. I know we just got Survival proficiency, but it’s good to be good at not dying! (As well as finding food.)

You also get Favored Foe at first level, because Favored Enemy smells. If you shoot someone you can legally-not-Hunter’s Mark them so they take a d4 of extra damage once per turn when you shoot them. You concentrate on it like a spell and it works a lot like the Hunter’s Mark spell but you have a limited number of uses equal to your proficiency bonus, instead of using your spell slots.

LEVEL 10 - RANGER 2

Heeey more Fighting Styles! You already improved your sword swings so take Archery for +2 to ranged attack rolls to ensure that you hit your shots.

Rangers also get Spellcasting, only this spellcasting works with your Wisdom instead of your Charisma! You learn two spells from the Ranger list: Jump will let you do some hardcore parkour because the Ranger spell list sucks and I’ve got nothing else to give you, and Cure Wounds will allow Samira to have some healing... as a treat.

LEVEL 11 - RANGER 3

Third level Rangers can choose their archetype and Hunters are masters at taking down their foes. You can choose a way to take down your Hunter’s Prey. Colossus Slayer is a fairly simple affair: if you shoot (or stab) someone who’s already hurt they take an extra d8 of damage. Though you can only apply that extra d8 once per turn.

You also learn another spell: Longstrider will help you move thanks to that Daredevil Impulse. 10 feet may not seem like much but remember that you get an extra 10 feet thanks to Blade Flourish and can dash to turn 50 feet into 100 feet of movement!

Oh and I also completely forgot about Primal Awareness, which replaces Primeval Awareness. You can Speak with Animals once per day! Maybe not in character, but it helps if you have a Yuumi!

LEVEL 12 - RANGER 4

4th level Rangers get an Ability Score Improvement: time to finally cap that Dexterity score for the most precise shots and deadly cuts possible!

(Artwork by Jennifer Wuestling. Made for Riot Games.)

LEVEL 13 - RANGER 5

Total level 13 isn’t too late to get an Extra Attack, right? Well you can shoot twice now and mix some more Flair into your combos.

You can also learn second level spells now like Aid (ty Tasha’s) to let that adrenaline kick in so you feel no pain. Primal Awareness also gives you Beast Sense for a bit of covert Psy Ops.

LEVEL 14 - RANGER 6

6th level Rangers get Roving from Deft Explorer for 5 extra feet of movement along with a climbing speed and a swimming speed! Reminder that in combination with both Longstrider and Blade Flourish that increases to a whopping 55 movement speed, which means that you can Dash as a Bonus Action to move 110 feet in a turn! "Danger runs from me." Your Favored Foe mark also increases to a d6 of damage.

LEVEL 15 - RANGER 7

7th level Hunters learn some Defensive Tactics: while perhaps not the most useful since you have Heroism and all you’ve certainly got a Steel Will, giving you advantage against being frightened. “Death isn't the scariest thing; it's a mother's rage."

You can also learn another spell: Lesser Restoration can be helpful in a pinch if someone’s trying to slow you down. Or at least if they’re trying to blind, deafen, poison, or paralyze you.

LEVEL 16 - RANGER 8

8th level of Ranger means another Ability Score Improvement: Charisma means higher initiative rolls as well as more Blade Flourishes. Simply put Wisdom can’t beat style!

Oh yeah and you also get Land’s Stride to move through non-magical difficult terrain and plants without slowing down, and for advantage against magic plants. I legit forgot this was even a thing before seeing it on the character sheet.

LEVEL 17 - RANGER 9

9th level Rangers get 3rd level spells like Conjure Barrage for some bullet rain; "My kind of rain!" Basically you shoot a bunch of bullets in a big cone, because Rangers get this instead of Fireball. Honestly something like Elemental Weapon (ty Tasha’s) would probably be better but we’re still sticking to flavor.

Oh and you can Speak with Plants thanks to Primal Awareness? Honestly these extra spells don’t fit at all but Primeval Awareness sucks. I’m literally adding these extra spells to the build last second.

LEVEL 18 - RANGER 10

10th level Rangers get Tireless from Deft Explorer. As an action, you can give yourself a Shieldbow shield for 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier in Temporary Hitpoints. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Additionally: whenever you finish a short rest, your exhaustion level is decreased by 1. Because danger doesn’t wait!

You also get Nature’s Veil because even if Vanish fits Samira better it still freaking sucks. Basically you can play around with Duskblade to turn invisible as a Bonus Action until the end of your next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

LEVEL 19 - RANGER 11

11th level Hunters can finally spin around and hit everyone around them. Whirlwind Attack will let you make a melee attack against any enemy within 5 feet of you (with a separate attack roll for each target.) This is best used when surrounded (obviously) because unlike Samira’s ultimate in League it doesn’t do much extra damage, and you’re better off just stabbing them twice if you want DPS in a 1v1.

You also get your final spell known: take Wind Wall because you have an AoE Wind Wall and I thought it would be funny to steal directly from mister 0/10 powerspike himself. But really get whatever spell you think will be useful.

LEVEL 20 - RANGER 12

Full disclosure: feel free to go for 4 levels in Rogue if you know you aren’t going to hit level 20. I only went for Ranger level 12 because the hit die is bigger.

One last ability score improvement to top the build off: Charisma is still used for a lot of abilities, so increase that because who needs common sense when you’ve got blade flourishes!

FINAL BUILD

PROS

Came all this way to die? - You have many a way to bump up the damage. With 2d6 on a sneak attack, an extra d6 from Favored Foe, a d8 from Blade Flourishes, and a d8 from Colossus Slayer that means that on average you can do about 20 extra damage every turn. That’s definitely nothing to sneeze at!

Finally some action! - Have you ever had +12 to initiative? Would you like to? You are incredibly mobile for a girl who didn’t bring Flash (IE Misty Step) with tons of ways to increase your movement speed and the ability to Dash every turn as a Bonus Action.

This took years of practice... for everyone else - It was not my intention but wow you’re quite the little skill monkey. Two expertise skills from Rogue, another 2 from Bard, and one more from Deft Explorer. Not to mention Jack of All Trades in what few skills you aren’t proficient in to make sure you can do just about anything.

CONS

Oh... I really gotta check these more often - Your spellcasting really isn’t fantastic. We invested almost everything into Charisma but we have very few Bard spells. While I did my best to avoid Ranger spells that forced saving throws there are still some that suffer due to your relatively low Wisdom score... Oh yeah you also have 6th level spell slots but your known spells don’t go past level 3. At least that means you can buff the party with Aid!

I feel most alive when I'm walking the line - As great as your skill checks are your saving throws are quite lacking. Your Dexterity is nice but that’s about it; all your other saves range from average (+5) to bad (+0) Notably your Constitution saves are a mere +1, which means you won’t keep concentration up for long if you play recklessly.

Well-behaved women don't make it - There are a lot of features I took more for flavor then actual utility. For a start Hunter is a rather meh multiclass. This might be one of the times “just play a Fighter with a bow” applies as a subclass like Battlemaster would’ve likely been a better choice, and honestly going down full Swords Bard would’ve given you far more utility overall. There were benefits from Ranger levels but they were lost in the multiclassing MADness.

But you prove that modern-day killers really must hate fun; more often people can’t get style rockin' knives and guns. You don’t need no fancy magic or divine ascension to be a badass: gun ‘em down and cut through whatever remains to show that S stands for Samira and Samira alone... As long as she isn’t permabanned.

[pop-punklouis]

hey hope. this is probably oversharing and definitely overstepping, but i really just need to rant. this is gonna sound weird but i just started freshman year, so i'm probably one of your younger followers. but honestly i'm so stressed and anxious. i have friends and most of my teachers are good, but i'm honestly not used to the workload. everyone else seems so carefree, but honestly, i've always cared too much about grades and stuff like that. i sort of coasted through middle school, and now i'm really worried that i've reached my peak and nothing will ever come easy to me again. it all sort of hit me tonight and there's just this giant ball of dread in the pit of my stomach. i know school will get easier, but by the time i get used to it, i'll have to deal with college, and getting a job, and living on my own. really, i have no fucking clue what i'm doing, and i'm just quietly marinating in that feeling. so yea. hope you're having a good night.

oh no, hi babe!!

you’re most definitely not overstepping at all. you guys can always come to me and talk about whatever. never feel like you cant! and listen *cracks back* *takes a drag from a cigarette* as an elder 24 year old, i know high school very well. high school was….. not the best experience if i’m being perfectly honest lmao. yet, that wasn’t so much on school as it was those around me and the environment. i loved learning, actually, even though the workload was a bit heavier.

there’s always going to be these nerves when you start a new chunk of academia. middle school…. high school…. college… because it’s all so unknown and you don’t know exactly what to expect!! fun fact: i still get that way every time i start a new semester of schooling— i freak myself out about the syllabus and work load but almost always i adapt to it quite quickly and that anxiety dissolves. im saying that only to let you know that you’re not alone in feeling this dread and fear. many, many people do. but, this pressure doesn’t have to cripple you. it is different than middle school, you’re right, but i found that the way you study and prioritize that study, ultimately, defines how stressed the workload actually is on you. i had a great AP BIO teacher freshman year of high school that taught me everything i know about study strategies and organizing the time to get into coursework without feeling overwhelmed. he used to be a professor, so his way of teaching reflected that. so! i’m going to pass those tips onto you x

1) make sure to organize your workload based on class and what deadlines are due the soonest (i recommend getting a tiny planner just for course work) this allows you to see a physical embodiment of your schedule and what needs to be done without just scrambling in your brain. 2) have the recorder on your phone ready anytime your teacher is lecturing in class (this has been my absolute lifesaver), so you can go back and listen to it whenever you want and also write notes from that recording without the pressure of the clock. 3) any extended assignments such as readings or projects or essays etc. don’t have to be done all in one sitting. prioritize blocks of the reading or parts of the project/essay for certain days and only get that done on those specific days. this causes you to feel less overwhelmed about workload as you’re chipping away at it little by little instead of facing it head on. 4) if it’s written on the board or repeated twice— it’s important and will probably come up again later on a test or discussion etc. 5) read out loud as sometimes it’s better attained if you can hear the information that you’re reading. 6) flash cards!!! are your best friend!!! use them!! 7) color code certain sections of notes or information you’re studying as i’ve always found that color helps me retain what i’m studying when it comes to regurgitating it later. 8) if you find that you don’t understand parts of the coursework, find examples that relate to your experiences rather than the textbook. 9) always ask questions or even go to tutoring if you don’t feel comfortable enough with something that was taught in class— i never needed tutoring before high school and i had too much pride to go when i needed it so i flunked a few tests before i realized that my pride is dumb and it helped tremendously. and 10) most importantly, give yourself room to breath!

i know when we spiral down an anxiety rabbit hole, our mind just lays intrusive thought over intrusive thought until we’re lying in a puddle of defeat and thinking that our life is going nowhere lmao. but, you’re so young, bb. you’re just starting high school. these thoughts about college and jobs and living on your own do not have any right to cause you this much fear and existential dread right now. it’s still a ways away, and isn’t affecting you presently. i’ve learned that giving yourself grace and focusing on your present more than your past or future keeps you from having a meltdown. you can only control your present, and it’s vital that you take it one step at a time. you don’t have to try and climb all the stairs at once. face each struggle or worry as they come not as they materialize in your mind. life is all about these stepping stones that culminate into something larger, so don’t feel like you have to take on the world every day. sometimes, you can just take on a monday and let tuesday wait.

sorry for this being so long!! i hope this at least encouraged you a bit. you’re going to kill freshman year. i just know it ✨

The Race Of Time

WARNING:Kidnapping, bombing. Taglist: @nocturnalherb16. "I can't believe you're running for PD, Y/N". Herrmann shook his head with laugh as he stood beside you.

"I have to run for my husband, next year I'll run for Fire. Sounds fair"?

"You're own blood". You rolled your eyes with a chuckle.

"Are you still talking crap, fireman"? Jay came up beside you, kissing your cheek.

"It's cool, I can take the old man's jokes".

"Old man? I'll show you old man". Herrmann started running as the gun went off, you weren't paying attention so you were behind.

The street was crowded with family, friends and supporters of the Chicago police and fire Department. You ran past your kids waving to them as they cheered you and Jay on.

You were hot on Herrmanns heels as you hit the corner of the street, you past Otis and Cruz who were acting like children as they ran.

"Come on babe, you can do this". You heard Jay in front of you, you knew he could run faster but he stayed with you. It wasn't really a race mostly raising money for the community and the stations had a childish war going on to see who was better.

"I'm coming, go ahead. I'll meet you there". You waved him off and he sprinted off. You were at the four mile mark when the road was filed with smoke. You tried running threw it but you started coughing. Then a bright light filed your eyes and you were thrown to the ground. Your head bouncing off the cement.

Jay panicked as he heard a blast from behind, he stopped to see. The smoke started to clear out and he could see bodies on the ground.

"Herrmann". He yelled, Herrmann stopped and saw what Jay was talking about. His jaw dropped and the both ran over to the victims.

The street was cleared quickly. Cops swarmed the place. Jay was worried about you but everyone said you're probably helping or with someone. They were right, you were with someone that was supposed to be dead.

"We should take her to the hospital. She looks bad". The voice echoed your head. Groaning as you say up, your hand went to your head and you hissed as you touched it. Blood covered your fingers.

"Where am I"? Looking around you were in a van and it was a moving.

"You're okay now". A males voice startled you as he came out from the back of the van.

"Who are you"? You asked blinking at the figure, he looked familiar but it couldn't be him. Could it?

"Well, let's say a blast from the past". He laughed bringing his face to the light.

"Evan? You're dead". Your voice trembled as you saw the man that you buried sitting right in front of you. The hair stood up on the back of your neck.

"Nice to see you too Babe". He spoke right before something metal hit your head, knocking you out cold.

"I can't find her anywhere. No one has seen her or heard from her". Jay paced the hallway of the hospital. He watched as the kids got checked over just to make sure.

"Jay, calm down. We'll find her". Will tried to calm his brother but it wasn't doing much.

"Are the kids okay"? Jay's head turned to the end of the hallway, coming down was Kelly.

"Yeah, just shook up". Jay bit his nails.

"What's wrong? Where's Y/N"? Kelly looked in the room.

"Jay"? Kelly's voice increased.

"I can't find her. After the bomb went off I couldn't find her. There's people out looking for her but no one's contacted me yet. I'm sorry".

"What do you mean you can't find her? She was with the runners right"?

"She was behind me. I think inside the bomb or at least close to it".

"So there's no body"?

"No". Jay whispered and Kelly let out a sigh of relief. This means you're still alive, hopefully.

"Can you take the kids back to your place? I don't want them alone with someone they hardly know"? Jay asked Will.

"Yeah sure. I'll get them checked out and we'll head there now". He walked off leaving Jay and Kelly.

"What do we do"?

"Voights brought in bomb squad and they're trying to figure out where the bomb came from".

"Okay. What do you need me to do"?

"Help me try to find out who took her". Kelly raised a eyebrow looking at Jay confused but Jay was serious.

"You're saying someone took her from the race after the bomb went off? Who would do that"? Kelly laughed at the idea.

"It is kinda crazy Jay. Wouldn't we have seen something? I was behind Y/N and I didn't see anyone out of the ordinary". Adam leaned against the wall.

"Then it must have been a runner. Blending in as one of us". Jay was so sure of himself.

"Who? Who could it have been"?

"We need a the list of everyone that signed up for the race. Maybe a name will trigger something in one of us. It could be a suspect we put away, a person with a grudge. Someone took my wife and I'm not stopping until I find her". Jay slammed his fist against the window.

"Wakey wakey". Evan shook you hard. Your head hurt like hell as he did.

"Please stop". You whimpered, trying to move your hands but you couldn't. Looking down they were tied to a chair so were your ankles.

"Why are you doing this"? You tried wiggling around but it was no use.

"You remember that day I found out about Logan and Laura"?

"Yes".

"I was so happy that I was going to be a father. Then I realized that I owned some bad people money and I couldn't figure out how to do both".

"So you faked your death? I mourned you for months". You screamed at him. "You have no idea what you put me through".

"Put you through? I couldn't see my kids be born or take their first steps. Then when the coast was clear I heard you moved on...with a cop". He got into your face.

"I didn't know you were going to come back. I wasn't going to wait around for a ghost".

"You're letting him raise my kids".

"My kids, not yours". You corrected him. "That went out the window when you supposingly died".

"I forgot how much of a bitch you were".

"If I'm so much of a bitch then why kidnap me? Why make me part of your plan"?

"I got your husband's attention didn't I"?

"So you're after Jay, what did he do"?

"You'll find out later once I've got everything worked out". He said going to the front of the van, you worked on the ropes around your wrist. You had to get out and fast.

"So I got the list of runners. All checked out except for two. One was a guy named Evan Bates the other is Norman  James". Mouse put the papers in front of Jay.

"Bates"? Kelly raised a eyebrow.

"Yeah, you know him"? Jay asked.

"Don't freak out but he's the twins dad".

"What is he doing here all these years? What does he want with Y/N"?

"Jay, he's died". Kelly's mind was blown and Jay was confused.

"Wait, he's died"?

"Yeah, we buried him before the twins were born".

"How did he die"? Jay nodded to mouse and he started typing on his computer.

"Car fire. I got a call to a wrecked car that was on fire. I got to looking at the car and it was his".

"Did they do DNA to make sure"?

"No, he was to burned to get anything".

"I got something. I ran the names and Norman is Tyler James's brother". Mouse pointed to the screen with a picture of Tyler and Norman.

"Tyler"?

"You arrested him for arson and he escaped and you killed him".

"So Norman's after me for revenge and Evan"?

"You taking his life from him"? Kelly thought that was the only explanation.

"Y/Ns being used to get to me. Do you think he'll hurt her"? Jay asked Kelly with worry in his eyes.

"I can't say for sure".

"We need to find them now".

"Pull over here". Evan told the driver.

"What are we doing"?

"Going to have a chat with Halstead". Evan pulled put a phone handing it to you.

"Call him". You did as you were told as it was ringing Evan swiped it from your hand and put it on speaker.

"Hello"? You heard Jay's voice and you sigh with happiness.

"Jay Halstead, I'm assuming that you have already figured out who I am since you're so smart".

"Evan Bates and Norman James".

"Correct. Now can you tell me where there are three other bombs at"? Evan chuckled as the line went silent.

"There's three more"? Jay questioned.

"Three, four, who knows. But you'll find out soon enough".

"Where's Y/N"?

"She's right here, looking lovely as usual".

"If you lay one finger on her"... Evan cut Jay off.

"You'll what? Kill me? You'll have to catch me first Jay Halstead".

"I will catch you and I'll make sure you don't see the light of day again".

"I see. And I thought we could be friends, well I have to go so I'll see you when I see you". Evan hung up and put the phone in his pocket.

"When I see Jay, it will be the last time you see him....alive". Evan push a strand of hair out of your face, you jerked at him. He chuckled and went back to the front.

"She's alive. Thank God". Kelly felt relieved.

"But there's more bombs and I don't know where to start". Jay ran his hand over his face.

"Most bombers put bombs where they'll be noticed. Places that remind them of something or someone".

"There's a festive going on at the high school today"? Mouse spoke up from his computer.

"Let's get some people there and circulate their pictures around. We have to find these guys".

"I pinged the number and it's bouncing off two towers". Jay looked and he knew right where they were. He grabbed his jacket.

"I'm coming with you". Kelly ran after Jay.

"I know you want to help but I cant let you get hurt too".

"You need someone with you. I can help".

"Fine. Just don't get shot or killed. I'll never hear the end of it". Jay smiled as Kelly laugh.

Jay followed his instincts and he was right. There was a van sitting in his drive way.

"I'll go around back". Kelly got out of the car and sneaked to the back yard.

Before Jay got out of the car he got a text from Voight, telling him to wait for back up. Jay cut his phone off and got out of the car. Walking up to the house, he looked through the windows. There you tied on the ground. Evan was sitting on the couch a gun in hand. Norman was out of sight, that made Jay's heart beat faster as he entered the house.

"Welcome home Jay". Evan said from the couch. Jay's eyes went to you, you nodded to him telling him you were okay.

"What do you want"?

"My family back".

"Sorry. They're not yours anymore. You gave that up".

Evan jumped off the couch getting into Jay's face. "They were taken from me. I did this to protect them and you came and stole them".

"You did this to yourself. Getting into bed with the wrong crowd. It's your fault".

"Well, I didn't come here to fight. That's Norman's job". Evan motioned for Norman to come in and he came in swinging. A punch landed to Jay face, knocking him unsteady. Evan sat back down on the couch.

Norman landed another blow to Jay's ribs with his leg. You cringed as Jay yelped. Jay faught back punching and kicking Norman. Evan was having field day as he watched Norman beat up Jay that he didn't see Kelly come in the house. Before coming into the house Jay gave Kelly a gun and Kelly wasn't going to use to but you were in the hands of a psycho.

"Evan". Kelly yelled bringing the attention to him, he pointed the gun at him.

"Kelly, so nice of you to join us".

Norman stopped fighting when Kelly put the gun to his head. Jay grabbed his hidden gun from ankle pointing it at Norman, taking his handcuffs and slapping them on.

"Get up". Jay ordered Evan, Evan sat still not moving.

"I said get up now". Jay gritted his teeth pointing his gun at Evans head. Evan moved slowly as he got up. Jay swiftly turned him around slapping handcuffs on him as well. He sat him back down on the couch and went to you. Taking put a knife and cut your ropes. You slung your arms around Jay kissing his lips as he helped you up. Your head was still hurting and you felt dizzy.

"You okay"?

"Yeah".

"We'll get you an ambulance". Jay wrapped your arm around his neck as you hardly could walk. He motioned his gun for Evan to get up and walk out the door. Kelly pushed Norman out the door. Voight and his team was pulling up as you got to the front yard.

As Evan walking he laughed, then thats when Jay saw the remote in his hand. Jay pushed you to the ground covering you as your house blew up. Wood shot out everywhere, car alarms went off and there was ringing in everyone's ears. Jay staggered to get up, he looked around Kelly was fine but Norman got a piece of glass in his throat, it sliced right threw his neck. Evan was lucky just a piece of wood threw his leg, he was still laughing. "I took something of yours now". Jay came closer to him. "I didn't lose anything. It's a house, it can be rebuilt. But you, you lost everything because of your stupidity". Jay walked back to you as the ambulance came. He picked you up carrying you to the EMTs. His family was more important than a house and stuff. More important than Evan. He had to make sure this never happened again. Voight came up to Jay as the ambulance was about to leave. "The bomb was at the high school, we got it in time". "Good". Jay closed the door. Voight and his team searched through Evans and Norman's stuff, they had planted two more bombs. One at Evans grave and one at Will's house. Thankfully him and the twins weren't home and they were at the hospital. Evan was serious about making Jay pay.

Dalton Big Bang day 1 - The Canadian Girlfriend Experience

Writing Masterpost, AO3 Link

Notes: So... y’all. Dalton fam. Hear me out.

I understand that y'all are gonna be mad at me for staying up until (four? five?) five in the morning to post this, but I'm something like 90% sure I'd forget to post it in the morning (afternoon), and I have to write tomorrow's fic anyway, so... here's an extra early fluffy mess. Hope y'all like it.

I had to write this one... I really really had to. Han's girlfriend is a big deal to me. I hope you understand it.

(And for the uninitiated in pathfinder - the rank system is wild, feats are taken every two levels or so, Logan’s character is basically invincible, defeated only by Dwight’s monk and the absolute insanity that creating a monk in pathfinder can end up being.)

—————

"I really have to go to sleep," the familiar (by now) high-pitched voice said through the headphones, stifling a yawn. "My drama class is moving props to the auditorium tomorrow for our exam and my mom would be mad at me if I don’t go to sleep in the next thirty minutes."

"So go to sleep, Lils. I won’t be mad at you."

"Okay! I’ll text you in the morning! Love you, bye!"

"Good night."

Han finally let himself snort a bit after his girlfriend hung up, watching as she disconnects from the game a few moments later. He did say he’ll only play Starcraft today so long as Leah is available, and now that she’s offline…

He just closed the game and went back to working on his Pathfinder session prep.

Han met Leah at the San Diego Comic-Con last summer. On day one, she approached him because she thought the Westwoods’ Bat family cosplay was really cool. On day two, he approached her because her Arwen cosplay was flawless. By day three they’d already ditched the con to have a not-date lunch at In-N-Out, found out they’re in the same guild in World of Warcraft, Han found out Leah has a voice acting channel on youtube, they exchanged phone numbers, and by day four they may have not spent the whole day together but they certainly went on a date-date at the end of the day.

They’ve been rather inseparable for the following three weeks, but by then Han had to face the reality of it all. Leah’s phone number was weird to him from the start, sure, and he was willing to pass off her accent as a speech quirk, but it wasn’t until those three weeks ended that it finally sunk in that she’s not American. And like most good things, her visit too has to come to an end.

Maintaining a relationship online just… didn’t feel the same.

1 Unread Message

‘Merril: Can I suggest an idea for Mishka’s character arc?? You can say no, I just had an idea is all!’

Caterpillar: I’m all ears

———

"While this mess of a… bargain is happening," Logan called as Merril and Reed tried to catch their breaths from laughing. "Can Dwight and I get to the diplomatic debate?"

"Sure," Han sighed, watching his party quickly derail the session. "But let’s take a break first."

The first to disappear at the sound of "let’s take a break" was Lucy, who ran to the bathroom, accidentally knocking off Logan’s dice tower in the process. Merril got the brownies out and on the table, everyone pulled their phones out…

Han could take a couple moments to look at the pictures Leah sent him earlier. According to her, they were not yet done with lighting cues, and she was going crazy, but seeing her in her period piece of a costume and leg brace prop made him feel excited for her, somewhat.

Caterpillar: wish I could been there to see it 

Jabba the Hutt: Oh no! Don’t say that! Jabba the Hutt: I’ll send you the filmed version when I get it, but it’ll probably be really bad anyway.

Caterpillar: im sure it cant be that bad 

Jabba the Hutt: Han, it’s a high school production of the Glass Menagerie. Jabba the Hutt: My class is also doing the play version of Spring Awakening. Jabba the Hutt: It *can* and *will* be that bad. Jabba the Hutt: Trust me. 

"Han?" Merril called before he could answer that one. "Hansel, are you listening?"

"No, I wasn’t. What was it?" He grabbed a brownie, leaving his phone aside for a second.

"Wizards of the Coast announced a new edition of D&D," she said again, smiling gently. "Do you think you’d want to try it?"

"I’m already one step ahead of you there. I’m going to playtest it when it— excuse me…"

Jabba the Hutt: WE FINALLY FUCKING FINISHED THIS Jabba the Hutt: I’ve never been happier to say I’m getting offstage, I need someone to punch me!

Caterpillar: dont you mean pinch?

Jabba the Hutt: I meant what I said and I said what I meant.

Han tuned back in time to hear Logan say "I just really don’t want to have to mess with the power system again", which resulted in Dwight throwing a bag of chips at his head.

"Fourth edition has a very special place in my heart, Wright. Don’t talk shit about it around me."

"Yeah, why all the hate for the power system?" Lucy frowned (when did she get back from the bathroom?). "It’s not all that different to how feats work. Would you complain about getting a new feat every odd level once we switch systems?"

"Not going to happen, Lucy."

"Aw man, but I wanted to play Vampire the Masquerade next!"

"And we already said Merril is going to run it," Han reminded her, checking his phone one last time. "But we’re not switching our current game to another system. Not gonna happen."

There was a quiet "hell yeah" from Merril as Han’s phone buzzed with a new message, but before he could even read it, it was snatched by Lucy.

"Wha… who are you talking to, Han?" She laughed a bit, scrolling up, and then her eyes went wide open. "Well… damn."

"Don’t act like you’re surprised, that’s my girlfriend. You met her before."

The silence in the room was so tense, Han swore he could hear a pin drop. 

"...a girlfriend?" Dwight was the first to ask, raising a brow. "Since when?"

"You know, I honestly thought she would’ve forgotten all about you after two weeks…"

"Since a few months ago," Han told Dwight, taking his phone back. "Can we continue, please?"

"No! It’s interesting!" Merril joined in, resting her chin on her hand as she got closer, pushing some papers a bit. "How did you meet? Where is she from? Can we meet her?"

"We met at Comic-Con and no, you can’t meet her. She’s… not from here."

"...is she Canadian?" Logan raised a brow too, starting to laugh.

"Noooooooo…?"

"Oh yeah, Han’s Canadian girlfriend."

"She’s not— let’s start to fucking play, this session isn’t going to end itself."

By the end of the session, Han couldn’t say he’d be surprised if the whole school found out by tomorrow. And if anyone (namely the twins) made fun of him for his "Canadian girlfriend"... so be it. 

———

"Is this Canadian girlfriend of yours coming to prom?" Julian’s tired voice came through the phone, sounding like he was about to pass out. He just arrived at school earlier today, already tired from the flight, and immediately got coddled by Logan.

"She’s not Canadian, Julian. You’re the twenty-fifth person I’ve told this already."

"So where is she from? Would you please tell just one person?"

With a quick glance at the security footage, to make sure Logan wasn’t listening, Han whispered "her name is Leah, I met her at Comic-Con in San Diego last year, she’s from Israel and no, I doubt she can come to prom. She has her own prom to attend."

"...okay, so this Israeli girlfriend of yours. Got it."

"Thank you."

"Are you sure you want to keep her a secret…?" He clicked his tongue. His laugh sounded a bit rougher than usual. "You know how things can end up. You of all people."

"I… I’m just not sure I’m ready for… dude. Is Logan drooling on your shoulder…?"

"Give him a break, Westwood. He’s adjusting to his new pills."

"I asked about the drooling."

"He does that sometimes. I just let him be."

"...why is everyone so interested in my girlfriend? Is it really any different from David and Katherine?"

"I don’t know how to break it down to you, Westwood, but you’re not exactly the type anyone would expect to even have a girlfriend."

A shift in the camera footage made Han cuss silently, covering his microphone.

"...she said she’ll be here for graduation. Hers is in late June, but she finishes school in May."

"Yeah. May. When prom is."

"Do you want to talk to her yourself?" He could hear Julian snort. "I’m not kidding. I’ll give you Leah’s phone number and you’ll convince her yourself. I can’t."

"Because that totally won’t be crazy."

"Julian."

"Hansel."

"Just fucking ask her, you absolute nerd!"

"Can you stop ordering me around? This isn’t Hollywood. This is my girlfriend we’re talking about."

"Can you at least send me a picture of her? So I’ll know she’s real?"

"...fuck you, Larson."

Han sent him a picture anyway. A picture of the two of them that Lucy insisted to take while they were in San Diego. They coordinated somehow, Han with his LOTR shirt and Leah with her whole Arwen cosplay. It was the happiest day he could possibly remember.

And then, a snort through the phone.

"...so you’re Leah Appelbaum’s mysterious Maryland boyfriend? Huh. Didn’t know you lived in Maryland."

"...you know Leah?"

"We had auditions in the same building two years ago and she approached me because she’s a fan of Something Damaged. She insisted on keeping in touch. How did you meet her?"

"At Comic-Con… please be gentle about this, Julian."

"Okay! I just… wow. I know where you live now. Sweet."

"Don’t you dare try to blackmail me with that information, Larson."

"I won’t. There’s nothing to worry about."

———

"...you know what?" Han sighed as the last session before prom was about to close off. "Roll sense motive."

The clatter of dice hitting each other and everyone cussing filled the room, quickly picking up their dice and looking.

"Fifteen!"

"Seventeen!"

"Five!"

"How’s you get a five, Lucy?"

"I’m a barbarian, what do you think—"

"Thirty-four."

Dwight practically glared at Logan. "What the fuck, dude?"

"I play a half-elf cleric, Dwight," Logan answered, straight-faced. "Plus two to wisdom straight away, rolled extremely well, I have a plus five modifier to wisdom and the alertness feat. I took a single rank in sense motive every time we leveled up and now I have ten ranks. On the tenth rank in sense motive or perception, you get a bonus four to the skill instead of the usual two. Thus, ten plus four plus five equals nineteen, plus the fifteen that I rolled. That’s thirty-four. Do I sense motive?"

"...everyone who rolled above a fifteen, and that definitely includes Flint—" Han could see Logan smiling smugly. "Everyone who rolled above a fifteen can see that this woman is telling the truth. Anyone who rolled a twenty or above, Flint, can also sense that—"

There was a knock at the door. There was never a knock at the door. But now there was. And as Reed got up to open the door, Han silently hoped it wouldn’t be anyone who shouldn’t be there—

"And this is your boyfriend’s room," Julian’s voice came through as Reed’s jaw dropped. "Thank you for picking Julian Larson to be your tour guide, we hope you enjoyed the trip."

"Very! Oh, hello!" The girl at the door waved at Reed, who waved back. The whole party waved back. "Am I interrupting anything?"

"No, those nerds are just playing dungeons and dragons. You have nothing to worry about." Reed finally returned to his seat as Julian kissed the girl’s cheek, chuckling at the shock. "Logan, I’ll be expecting you to pick me up at six. I want my pre-prom sushi."

"I promised you I will, Princess, don’t panic."

"Okay, just making sure."

As Julian left, the girl went to sit on Han’s futon and look at everyone. Long brown hair, half of it bleached; dark eyes behind a pair of green plastic-framed glasses; a bit on the heavier side, like Han himself, and wearing a floral summer dress and a pair of short leggings. Her face was flushed red, her lipstick a dark blue, and her nails painted black that just started to chip.

Han missed her so much.

"So… hi." She waved around again, a bit confused. "What’s up…?"

"Who’s this?" Dwight was the first to speak.

"My girlfriend," Han replied, sounding rather insistent. "We were just about to finish our session, Lils. Can you wait?"

"Mmhm! Absolutely! I’ll be so quiet, you’ll forget I’m even here!"

Nobody forgot she was there. Merril kept looking over to her, Reed and Dwight seemed skeptical as ever, and the only person who was normal about it was Lucy. But it wasn’t news for Lucy, she’s met Leah before after all. All the while Leah sat there, chuckling at the game and waiting patiently for Han to finish, which he did twenty minutes later. Dwight practically ran out, followed by Logan who needed to pick his own boyfriend up for dinner, but…

"So where are you from in Canada?" Merril asked first, making Leah smile. 

"I’m… not Canadian. Did Han tell you I’m Canadian?"

"Where’s your lipstick from?" Reed asked next.

"Umm… it’s, it’s from NARS, I picked it up on the way here, I forgot to pack my own makeup and—"

"Is Han taking you to prom?"

Han choked on his water at that. "I can’t leave my room for prom, Merril. Health risks."

"You can have an indoors prom."

"We planned on watching Battlestar Galactica and ordering takeout," Leah admitted. "But… an indoors prom would be nice. I’m not going to mine anyway. My class is writing this… really offensive skit about one of the math teachers and I don’t want to be a part of it."

"What’s your prom even like…?" Reed squinted, sitting back down. "That you do skits."

"It’s… not really a prom. Israel doesn’t really have the promenade culture, it’s just like a showcase the whole class does for family and friends before graduation… I’ve never liked this practice, you know, I think it’s just…"

As Leah rambled on, Han took his time to clear the table and silently hope Merril and Reed leave soon. Those two have prom dates after all. And neither are a Canadian girlfriend.

Hey hey I've been following you for a while and ilysm. Could you do a peter x reader where most of the avengers are super protective/parenty to the reader cause for some reason her parents cant do that (death, being bad parents, do whatever you want) and some of them are like "yes finally peter and y/n belong together" and the rest are like "if you so much as breathe on her I will break you"?? Ik this is really specific, sorry!!

i won’t lie i’m generally a sucker for avengers being super parenty/protective and but it’s something i like. never explore skchxkxhsk

also this kinda turned more into a parenty fic than peter x reader oops!

“you remembered your physics homework, right?” natasha asks you idly as she butters a slice of bread. you scrunch up your face in a less-than-pleased expression, your cheek smushed against your hand.

“that’s the second time you’ve asked today,” you remark. natasha cracks a small smile, still looking down at the bread and knife in her hand. the knife clatters softly against the counter when she discards it to grab a slice of cheese.

“i know, but i think tony would kill me if i let you go on your first mission without your homework done.”

she says it with a teasing lilt, but you know it’s probably completely true; you’re still a freshie to the team, having just finished the bulk of your training and briefing to become a full-fledged member of the team. after sort of happening upon the avengers, you were thrust into the world of high school and avenging all at once. with no one else but them to make sure you were doing okay, they took it upon themselves to do that.

you watch nat place another buttered piece of bread on top of the one with cheese before sliding out of your seat at the island. you start towards the hallway as she sets a pan on the front stove burner

“well, don’t worry, mom,” you tease, “i’m all done.”

she doesn’t say anything more, but the wide smile on her face tells enough.

you check over your shoulder a few times as you enter a wide hallway of bedrooms. once making sure the coast is clear, you slip into peter’s bedroom; he’s taken a brief stay here in preparation for a mission, with may’s express blessing, of course. there he rests on his bed, looking warm and inviting as ever. his face lights up as soon as he sees you.

“hey, princess,” he says, blushing only a little at the sight of you. your face heats up in tandem with his as you crawl onto the bed.

“hey.”

without much further ado, you slip into the warm space in between his arms. he stares dreamily at you, face awash in adoration as you snuggle against his chest. your relationship is a soft one; it only blossomed two or so months ago, so the feelings are still a little soft and pliable, still growing. you think maybe they always will, because you seldom feel softer or safer than when you’re with peter. he never feels more loved than when he’s with you.

“what took you so long?” he teases, holding you close. his arms wrap snugly around your torso. you tilt your chin up to press a gentle kiss to his throat.

“talking to nat,” you murmur, “‘bout school and stuff.”

peter only nods. you never really talk explicitly about it, but he knows natasha and the other older avengers are as much your parents as anything. he kinda gets it, with his parents gone and may (and ben) being there for him most of his life. maybe that’s why neither of you ever talk about it; it’s just something you silently understand about each other. but with that comes the fact that peter knows half a dozen people are lined up to kick his ass, and do it well, should he break your heart. not that he ever would, but the thought is threatening.

peter squeezes you to him and tucks his head down. soft kisses are then pressed all along the side of your face, from your temple to your cheek to your jaw. your giggles are muffled against peter’s shoulder.

“missed you,” he muses, drawing out the syllables. you can barely utter it back, what with his quick succession of kisses all over you.

“you’re so clingy,” you say, trying to sound annoyed. but you don’t mean it even a little; peter knows that, too, which is why he keeps kissing down to your neck and to a sensitive point that makes you squeal.

“peter!”

just after you shriek his name, the door opens. peter springs off of you. in the doorway stands bruce, quirking an eyebrow— not quite imposing, but definitely inquisitive.

“there something i should know about in here?” he asks. he sounds very father-like with his tone, and you bite your lip much like a scolded daughter.

“maybe?”

peter’s face is beet-red at this point. bruce points a finger at him; his facial expression is unchanging, though.

“watch it, okay?”

peter blinks multiple times. when bruce walks away, he leaves the door open. it takes you a moment to regain your composure.

“well,” you begin, “that’s...”

“...not how you wanted him to find out?” peter murmurs. you can’t help but giggle as you clamber out of bed.

“hold on, i should go do damage control.”

peter thinks about not following you for a moment, but after you turn the corner out of his bedroom, he’s trailing after like a confused puppy. he kinda regrets it when he reaches the living room and most of the team is there with either scowls or smirks on their faces; presumably, bruce’s just broke the news.

“parker,” tony regards him, sounding like he’s barely holding back a laugh, “i see you’re doing well.”

“uh...”

“little too well,” rhodey mumbles, sipping what could be iced tea but could also be whiskey. you’re biting your lip— not nervous, but holding back giggles. mostly because natasha’s scowling by the stove and bucky’s eating a large grilled cheese sandwich behind her.

“can we be adults about this?” you suggest lightly. peter wrings his hands behind you.

“maybe,” natasha grumbles, rather motherly with her crossed-arms and furrowed brows. you sigh at her.

“i’m sorry i didn’t tell you?” you try, wincing. nat sighs. bucky laughs behind her, earning a well-aimed slap at his solar plexus.

“personally, i think it’s great,” tony adds, “not that we didn’t all suspect it, anyway.”

you’re not sure whether to thank him for lightening the mood or glare at him. peter purses his lips, still looking down and toying with the sleeves of his sweater. the both of you genuinely feel like children being scolded at the moment. maybe that’s what you are, then; their kid. peter’s got may, so their parenting attitudes toward him can only go so far. you, though? practically their own, in some kinda convival way. which is why you frown apologetically, walk towards nat, and offer her a hug first. she’s scowling over your head at peter, but she visibly softens as she hugs you around the shoulders.

“promise we’re being safe and he’s treatin’ me well,” you murmur into her shoulder. the way she squeezes you feels something akin to how a begrudging guardian hugs their misbehaving, lovable child.

“that better be the case.”

peter knows the hidden message in between those words, visibly flinching when he hears them. tony’s still biting back a laugh, even letting a quiet one out.

but with her chin in your shoulder, natasha cracks a small smile at peter, and everyone’s pretty sure they wouldn’t have things any other way.
