“Hello son.”

Even hearing his voice made Jungkook want to throw up.

He gripped the phone in his hand tightly, his body tensed hearing his fathers voice into the speakers, tired eyes wandered around to see if anyone had heard him.

He sighed deeply as he saw his coworkers busy at their desks.

“Why did you call me?” Jungkook’s tone had now changed, he whispered. his nerves vanishing as his anger took over, the man bit the inside of his cheeks, venom dripped from his voice.

“I can call you whenever I wish to, son.” The older man was just as stubborn as Jungkook, it irked him so much that how calm the older man was. “Ha, of course.” Jungkook replied sarcastically.

His father had no right to sound so entitled, especially not after he had kicked Jungkook out five years ago.

“How’s your son?”

“Why do you care?!” He barked, his voice raising, “fucking hypocrite?! How can you even bring yourself to ask about my son?! The son that you wanted me to abandon, leave him to die?” It was hard for Jungkook to contain his voice from getting louder but he was trying his best.

And his father sensed that.

“Calm down, Jungkook.” The said man wanted to laugh at his “dad” for advising him to calm down, Jungkook’s dad really was the most hypocritical asshole he’d ever seen.

“Why’d you call me, dad?!” Jungkook emphasized on the last word, chewing on his bottom lip as he grabbed his car keys, the phone still pressed tightly into his ear.

“I want to have dinner with you.” Jungkook scoffed, clearing his desk out, “you cannot be serious.” Jungkook grabbed his coat and left the building, too engaged in his conversation with the man he hated the most.

“Tell me, is this about nara?” Jungkook knew his father very well, he was never a man who cared about his family.

“Dinner at the plaza, son. Saturday evening. We’ll continue our conversation there. Goodbye.” The line disconnected before jungkook could argue, his jaw was left agape as he sat in his car, his phone now in his hands as he stared at the screen,

His mind completely blanked. He was not going to be a pawn in his dad’s game this time. Jungkook would rather die than fulfill his fathers demand.

“Fucking damn it!” He started the car, his mind was going crazy the more he thought about his monstrous father.

He banged his hand on the steering wheel out of frustration, his mood was ruined, his excitement was gone.

He was looking forward to seeing you.

He couldn’t afford to have his mood ruined. Right now? He needed to focus on the PTM.

He needed to focus on you.

You’ve been here for the last two hours.

“Mrs Choi, haru is a very good boy, he’s very into arts and is always very eager to participate in such activities.” You smile at the young woman, praising her son who smiles in return at you.

Seeing the little guy’s smile makes your heart very warm. “But.” You clear your throat. “He can be quite naughty especially with his friends.” You watch as Mira, the boys mother throws him a stern look.

The boy just pouts in return, his green eyes shining with mischief.

“Thank you for letting me know, Ms Yn… I’m guessing the friends are Jeon Seol, Min byung-ho and Lee-Jin?” The mother passes a look of disappointment to her son. You smile lightly at the sight.

“He’s a very good boy, very athletic too.” You begin praising your student, “and his friends are very good boys too, although Haru seems to be a little attached towards Jeon Seol.”

The mother turns her head to look at you once again, “yes I’m aware, they’re very close friends since their childhood together actually. My husband is a friend of Seol’s Dad.” You raise your eyebrows at that.

You were not aware of that, Mr Jeon was such a friendly man? He was even friends with your best friend and her husband too.

Small world.

“And yes, his English and both Korean are very good, especially for a little guy his age.” You nod at the young mother who ruffles her sons hair.

“Say thank you, haru.” She was such a sweet woman, barely any older than you, and you were almost done with the meeting.

“That’s all, mrs Choi.” You stand up and you watch the foreign woman take her sons hand and she bows her head to you, you repeat the gesture.

“See you soon.” You wave the duo bye and sit down at your chair again, you are pretty sure your ass aches but.

a few more parents were yet to meet with you.

It was going to be a long long day.

You sighed.

“SORRY I WAS LATE BUT IM HERE!”

Jungkook’s eyes searched for you, his loud voice had grabbed attention of people in the classroom as he walked through the students and their parents.

“DADDY!” Jungkook felt a pair of small arms wrap around his legs, stopping him in his tracks when his eyes found you.

You were looking so beautiful.

“H-Hey champ!” Jungkook replied to his 5 year old son as he picked him up, “Why’re you late?!” His son grabbed his face and turned it towards him, Jungkook teared his eyes from you, focusing on his son instead.

Seol pouted at his distracted dad, “ms Y/N is waiting for you!”

Jungkook smiled at that as he kissed his son on the cheeks, “really? I’m sorry for making her and you wait, my love.” He giggled with his son.

“Come.” Jungkook had his son in his arms as he sat down in front of you. Seol was sitting in his lap comfortably but Jungkook was looking at you.

“Oh Mr. Jeon you’re here!” You exclaim, focusing your attention on him, giving him the most ethereal smile ever.

His heart fluttered.

“H-Hi… I’m sorry I-I was late.” Jungkook stuttered like a little boy in front of you, “it’s alright. Let’s begin shall we?”

Jungkook could listen to you forever.

He was having the time of his life, watching you, listening to your voice, he was feeling so lucky, it felt like to him it was just you, his son and you in the large room.

It was partially true, because the room was now almost empty.

He was actually glad that he was late.

“Ummm, are you there, Mr Jeon?” He watched your eyebrows twitch and you looked at him with confusion, your features looking even more beautiful.

“Daddy?”

He felt Seol pinch his skin and he broke his trance of thoughts, you watch him with concern and he also felt his child’s eyes on him.

“Yes-Yes I’m listening, ms yn… you continue, please.”

He was sounding like the most dumbest lovesick fool ever, but he didn’t mind sounding so stupid, you made him act so weird that it was impossible for him to be normal around you.

“And please please call me Jungkook, like I asked you to last night.”

He knows he probably shouldn’t have said that out loud, but oh well.

He had.

Hello hello! I absolutely adore your writing, it just feels so complex and the dialogue is so perfect you don't understand, probably my favorite writer in tumblr ^^

Do you have any favorite books? I'm not really into reading but I want to write my own stories, and English isn't my first language so I always try to read but I don't really continue since most of them aren't really in my taste– but I'm willing to try anything you read or take inspiration from since I'll probably like it since I like your work so much :]

Sorry, hope that made sense, ty <3

So, I'd like to think that while my writing has a consistent *vibe* it also covers quite a few different genres and moods that could be what you are interested in. Let's go.

If you like a book rooted in complex, dysfunctional power dynamics try....Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo, The Last Tale of The Flower Bride by Roshani Chokski, The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue by V.E Schwab, Gone Girl or Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, Deathless by Catherynne M Valente, If We Were Villains by M.L Rio, The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakovic, Dark Rise by C.S Pascat, Interview with a vampire by Anne Rice, These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever.

(You can see that complex, dysfunctional power dynamics that are central to the story are basically my favourite thing haha. My absolute jam and butter! The dynamics themselves vary. You may root for some and watch others in delighted horror.)

If you like a great, not a romcom, enemies to lovers romantasy, try...Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson, Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust, The Folk of the Air trilogy by Holly Black.

For some fantasy horror vibes, try...Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant (mermaids!), House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland, The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher.

If you want something cute and LGBTQ, try...The House on Cerulean Sea or In the Lives of Puppets by T.J Klune, One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, Carry on by Rainbow Rowell, anything by F.T Lukens.

For short story collections that make me want to write...Things We Say in the Dark by Kirsty Logan, Salt Slow by Julia Armfield, Through The Woods by Emily Carrol or the multi-author anthology Hag.

And, let's be real, absolutely no one is following me for worldbuilding, but...

For worldbuilding that has stayed with me, try...The Wayward Children series (all stories semi-standalone) by Seanan McGuire, The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black

I know I haven't done superheroes. I just...?? I liked Hench by Natalie Zina Walschotts, but honestly most of them just don't interest me. Sorry.

#i am currently reading Supper Club by Lara Williams #books #reading #if there is a specific vibe y'all know or crave or can pinpoint in my writing I can also see if I can rec a book #and if I can't I suppose I have to forfeit and write another of that vibe haha

can i request where gn!reader is manipulative, and it caught chishiya attention so he decided to use them but fall inlove instead? anyways pls stay hydrate!! thanks for ur work :))

Here's your request! I'm sorry if it left a cliffhanger; I'll split this into four parts. I also wanted to thank you for your lovely request. You can read the first and second part now.

You're Just Like Me (Part One)

You are part of the militants. So, you're friends with some of the executive members of the beach, like Hatter, Mira, and particularly Aguni.

Aguni resembles you as his sister, even if you're not blood-related. He always wants to protect you. That's why you're under his watch. He understands that you can handle yourself without his help, but he still offers you his service.

You remembered the night he protected you from one of his men named Niragi. Niragi held your waist without your permission and flirted with you. Not even a second has passed; Aguni immediately snatched you and started to beat the shit out of him.

After that incident, you realize how Aguni is serious with his words. All this time, you thought he was joking, but he proved you wrong. You were also thankful because Niragi never attempted to harass you again.

Aguni also saved your life before. If it weren't for him, you would probably be a rotting corpse lying in the street by now.

"Have you eaten yet?" you saw Aguni walking towards you and sitting beside you.

You shook your head in disagreement. "I just woke up," you said while yawning.

"I thought so. Here eat this." Aguni showed you the food he brought, and you accepted it.

"Thank you," you smiled at him and started to eat.

"I have to tell you something," he looked at you.

"What is it?"

"Hatter and I will go to a game tonight; Niragi and Takatora will come with us too,"

"Without me?"

Aguni nodded his head slowly. He noticed that the news changed your expression. "I really want you to come with us, but Hatter said, and it was between him and me, and he also said that it needed to be kept private and confidential."

"Are you mad?" Aguni asked.

You shook your head in disagreement. "No,"

"You sure?"

You hummed in response and continued to eat the food he gave you.

Aguni sighed in dismay. He's always confused by your actions and responses towards him because he doesn't understand if you're mad at him.

"Before I forget, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

You looked at him curiously.

"Be careful with a guy named Chishiya,"

"C-Chishiya? Who's that?" you questioned.

"The blonde-haired man wearing a white hoodie and always present in the meetings? Haven't you met him yet?"

"No,"

Aguni gave you a head pat and stood up. "Never let your paths get crossed. Avoid him if you can. Take care of yourself, okay? I'll be back as soon as I can. You better be still alive." you chuckled at his last line and nodded at him.

He stole one more glimpse before ultimately leaving the room. It was always like this, Aguni is always different whenever you're two alone. Yes, people at the beach might think differently and not believe his actions towards you, but it's true. Aguni has a soft personality behind his displayed persona.

You wished that you could go with them. Staying at the beach alone bores you, especially when your only friend is Kuina, and she's always nowhere to find.

What you ate earlier wasn't enough, so you immediately stood up and left the room. While walking, you're thinking about where you will go. The cafeteria on the beach is always crowded with people constantly, and imagining yourself in that scenario makes you ick.

Aha! You can find something to eat in The Bar. You remembered that the foods were delicious when you first went there with Aguni. And, of course, you can probably be in the mood to drink some alcohol too.

You hopped inside the elevator and pressed the 6th-floor button. The elevator was about to close when a blonde-haired man rushed inside the elevator, too.

Holy cow. Is this the guy who's Aguni talking about earlier? How could this happen? There are so many elevators on the beach. Why would he choose this? You should've taken the stairs if you knew this would happen.

The elevator shut itself, and you saw Chishiya's reflection in front of you. He's wearing a white hoodie with a plain white shirt inside. He's also wearing summer trunks and a pair of slippers.

You heard the man cough. Did he catch you eyeing him?

You slowly looked at him, and to your surprise, he was already looking at you. You both made eye contact and were the first to break it. You gulped hard and started shaking.

The elevator began running, and it was pure silence inside until you heard the man beside you start to whistle.

"Can you please stop that?" you kindly asked him.

"Stop what?"

"Your whistles,"

"It's too quiet in here. I can't help it."

"Just stop,"

You silently prayed that the elevator would open so you could get out. You can't handle the tension between you and Chishiya. And to your surprise, your prayers have been answered.

The elevator eventually opened. And Before you left, Chishiya grabbed your right wrist.

"W-What are you doing?" you asked him and tried to get your wrist back, but his grip was too hard.

"It's Chishiya," after he said that, he immediately removed his grip on your wrist. You were confused, and when you looked back at him, the elevator door started to close.

But before the door closed, you saw how Chishiya playfully smirked at your reaction and waved his hand at you.

What just happened? Did he just introduce himself to you?

You're Just Like Me (Part Two)

You were still in shock after meeting Chishiya. You can't explain what you felt, Especially when he grabbed by your wrist earlier.

You slowly walked inside The Bar and saw Kuina drinking in the corner. You approached her, and she looked surprised when she saw you. She embraced you with her arms and invited you to the table where she was sitting.

Finding Kuina on The Beach is like playing a hide-and-seek game. She's very good at hiding, and you're a lousy seeker.

You can describe Kuina as your best friend, and she's the only one you trust besides Aguni. You two met each other in a game when she saved you, and the rest is history. She was wearing her bikini top and skinny jeans at the bottom.

"How are you doing? I missed you so much," she asked while still hugging you.

You chuckled at her actions. She is very clingy and touchy (not in a sexual way) when it comes to you; she also knew you don't like physical touch, but when you told her on her birthday that she was an exception, you can never forget her reaction.

"I-I can hug you now?" she asked while tears started to pour in her eyes.

You wiped her tears and nodded. You saw how happy Kuina and she rushed to hug you so tight after you said that. You can hear her silent sobs, and she says, "This is the best birthday gift."

There's a sudden change in Kuina's mood when she notices your right wrist. You also looked at it, and to your surprise, it had formed a purple bruise already.

Kuina darted her eyes at you with a "What happened to that" expression.

"I met him,"

"Who's him?"

"Your friend,"

"Chishiya?"

You nodded while taking a shot of tequila.

"What? When? Is Chi the one who did this to you?"

"Uhuh. We met at the elevator earlier, Ina. I think your friend accidentally gripped my wrist too hard when he introduced himself to me."

Kuina hissed. "That jerk! I will kill him!"

"Calm down," you said, but you couldn't help to laugh at her reaction.

"Stop laughing at me," she said while pouting her lips.

You laughed at her and calmly explained that it was no big deal.

You saw how she looked away from you. She's being stubborn again because you're defending the guy who hurt you. You knew that Chishiya and her were close friends, but she doesn't tolerate his wrongdoings.

She finally quit being stubborn and offered you the food she was eating, and you gladly took it. You told her why you were left alone here, and she silently listened.

After some time, you felt someone was watching you, but you chose not to look after it.

Little did you know, Chishiya was the one who was silently watching you from afar, smirking at himself while listening to your conversation. He attached a small microphone to the back of your leather jacket earlier. When he grabbed you by your wrist earlier, it distracted you; that's when he put the tiny microphone on your back while you were still in shock.

He intentionally rode that elevator with you because he was planning something to do. He's after the cards, and only the executive members and some militants have access. That's why his plan will only work if he can manipulate you by doing it.

Chishiya wants to manipulate you because he wants to. He sees Aguni as a threat to his plan, but you aren't. He assumes that you're just like your friend Kuina, who's easy to use and can be drawn by your feelings quickly. He thinks that you're an easy target to attack.

After hours of drinking, you finally waved your goodbyes to Kuina. You're already drunk and tired; While walking, you feel someone is following you.

"Someone was watching me earlier, and now it's following me? How great." you thought to yourself and looked back but saw no one. You continued to walk and felt the footsteps again. To your annoyance, you said,

"Whoever you are, just come out,"

You waited a minute, and you didn't know that it was Chishiya.

He smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Hello."

You rolled your eyes at him and crossed your arms. "Why are you following me?"

He just smiled and walked past you. You decided to follow him so you couldouldn get a direct answer. He stopped when he realized you were following him, so he turned his back on you.

"Why are you following me now?"

Your eyebrows met in confusion. You were so confused but decided to join his trick.

You shrugged your shoulder and walked past him just like he did to you. You heard him laugh and stopped you by grabbing your right wrist again.

"Copying me, huh? I like that you're acting just like me."

His grip hurt you a bit because it had already formed a bruise. Chishiya noticed how you reacted to it and saw the bruise too. He instantly removed his grip on your wrist. Chishiya leaned himself and whispered something to your ear,

"I assume you're alone," you heard as he took a deep breath before continuing, "I want you to visit my room later, at midnight; it's beside Kuina's. I'll treat your bruise as a compromise. I'll be waiting for you."

You were stunned and realized Chishiya had already left you alone in the hallway. Aguni told you not to let your path with Chishiya get crossed, but right now? You got invited to Chishiya's room.

You finally got to your room and threw yourself at your bed. You checked the clock beside you and found that you still had hours left before midnight. Taking a rest was your only option because what just happened between you and Chishiya was starting to stress you out.

Gruvia Week 2024:

Day 1: Laughter.

type: soft/comfort, warm, fluff, attempt at humor.

characters: Gray and Juvia, a slight mention of Cana, Gildarts and Macao, and little bit of levy.

this fic is also posted in AO3

Gray likes to joke around, he loves to tease his friends most of the time by cracking jokes or using his sarcastic humour, he doesn't want to admit and say that his jokes are better than Natsu, but judging by the reactions of their guildmates, he could admit just a tiny bit that his humour is better.

And Gray is not boosting himself up, this is coming from an objective perspective not his, because in the end of the day Gray doesn't care if he makes his friends laugh or not, if he finds the situation funny, he'll just use it as an opportunity to crack himself up or to humiliate Natsu, which works everytime.

does he enjoy making his friends laugh? no, not really, or maybe? he doesn't know but he doesn't make an effort to spark the joy around them, that's not his thing it's usually Lucy's.

However, there is an exception where he drops the cold and serious demeanor and tries to elevate the mood.

Juvia is the exception and while he yet does not realise the reason why he tries to goof around her more than usual, he just focuses on that bright smile that appears on her face.

but that realization hit him today and it was quite a hit.

they were on their usual morning routine in the Guild main room, everyone was minding their own business, an unusual and rare moment ( because Natsu and Gajeel aren't around), but Gray would take it any day than losing his cool and fight without sense.

so he was enjoying the quiet ambience and of course Juvia was besides him, knitting some hat for him, although he told her he doesn't need it but her stubborn self exclaimed:" nonetheless Gray-sama! Juvia will impress you with her knitting skills! she has improved over the months".

he can tell by how many bandages were wrapped on her fingers on both hands, he is worried that she might hurt herself if she doesn't tune down her excitement.

and even if he tells her that, she wouldn't listen to him because she will delude herself with 'Gray-sama's worrisome is like medicine to me!' nonsense and it's too early in the morning for Gray to hear that.

so he just enjoyed the silence between them while she focused on her threads.

Few minutes ticked by and he can sense the frustration coming from the water mage next to him, he glanced to his side and noticed the -cute- frown and her hands tightly holding her straight needles.

her hands worked their way through the confusing loops of threads, their movement were shilly shally, not knowing how to continue the work, suddenly her hands stopped working and she dropped the craft on the table disappointedly.

she sighed.

" it didn't work out?" he asked, turning to look at her.

"No" she replied, her shoulders were hunched and her frown was still in her face, Gray doesn't know why he feels annoyed at her dejected expression but he felt the urge of making her feel better.

and what's best than making her laugh? ( also because he doesn't know how to comfort people and he is afraid he might ruin Juvia's mood by trying)

he scanned the guild for a potential target to use them for his humour and saw Cana dazed on the bar, her head between her arms, completely passed out, it is very unnatural for Cana to not express her love to her barrel of wine at his time, but Gray knows the reason.

"So Cana is not herself today", he nodded towards the brown haired woman, Mira was shaking her shoulder to wake her up.

"Yes, Juvia wonders why" she replied, her frown turning from frustration to worrying about her friend, Gray knows how much she cares about Cana, yet seeing her worry about her makes Gray smile slightly.

He got back at the task at hand, humiliating Cana with no guilt.

"well, I know why", with a smug expression he turned to her.

"I heard that she called Macao dad" he started, both of their heads leaned on each other as they began whispering.

"what?!" Juvia gasped, her smile widing a little.

" yeah, she was really drunk that she mistook him with Gildarts" Juvia laughed a little, it was a progress.

"Gildarts heard about it and challenged Macao and almost turned the guild upside down if Cana didn't stop him" Gray continued as he saw Cana batting Mira's hand away, she didn't want to be disturbed from her drunken slumber.

"Juvia can not believe this" she laughed, and it was like the bells of heaven in his ears, he felt satisfied.

"yeah, Cana felt so embarrassed that her dad destroyed half the guild, Macao wanted to seize the opportunity.. like asking her if she wants him to be her stepdad" Juvia cackled at that mention, and Gray joined in, they laughed to the point that their guildmates throw at them weird looks.

"and then she told him that the reason why she confused him with her dad is because he is old" their laughter turned into a chortle, Juvia wiped small tears from her eyes and all Gray could do is laugh beside her, looking at her softly.

that's when it hit him.

he loves Juvia's laugh, that's why he likes to joke with her more than he does with the others, because Juvia's laugh gives life around him. and when that hit him he cringed at himself internally.

You are lost Gray , he thought.

One morning, Levy had a task to sort out the new books from the boxes that were delivered to her in the Guild, and Gray was bored -Juvia wasn't around yet- and saw how she struggled with the boxes, so he offered to help her out. also the fact that she is actually pregnant and shouldn't be moving too much.

Levy was grateful that she got another set of hands to help her organise the books, it was a lot of them, and Gajeel was in a job.

Gray was getting the books out of the box and putting them in their own category of genres.

" Isn't this the book that Lucy wanted to read?" he held a medium sized book, with a hard cover titled 'The Persistence Of Joy', Levy took a look at it and snorted.

"Yeah she did, but she got spoiled by another book nerd when she was in her mission, and dropped it immediately" she replied, sorting the books at the same time.

Gray hummed in acknowledgment and got back to organising the books.

"So, what's up with you and Juvia?" she took a moment and added "again", Gray rolled his eyes at her remark, he adores Levy's company but the amount of books she reads makes her read between the lines a little too much for his liking.

"what do you mean?" he responded with boredom against his will instead of ignoring her completely.

"Well, it seems like you enjoy her company, last time I saw you laughing to tears with her" she explained, a little bit dramatically.

"have you ever laughed with a person before Levy?" he put the book that was in his hand on top of the others with force that dust was coming out of it, he looked at her pointedly.

she rolled her eyes, and went to put them in their shelves, Gray took that as a sign that she dropped the subject and he can finally focus on finishing his job, he began to regret ever offering a helping hand.

after a moment of blissful silence.

" I am just saying that you were laughing because of he-"

"i swear to god Levy" he glared at her, Levy just lifted her hands to show that she completely understood his point and won't make any unnecessary comments.

Finally, after finishing putting the books in their respective places, he hurriedly left the library alone since Levy was more engrossed in reading a new book that she found. the work was not tiring but he wanted to see Juvia so badly, he knows she is waiting in the Guild's Main room.

he heard her laughter from the door of the library's hall, and when he opened the doors, he spotted her laughing with Mirajane and Wendy.

He smiled softly as he looked at her, she shined brighter than ever with her eyes closed and the sound of joy she made, he could never get tired of it no matter how many times he hears it.

Maybe her laughter makes him crave laughing as well, it makes him want to reach for that joyful moment. So he joined them, completely oblivious about Levy's presence, poking her head out of the door and smiling.

Silver Lining - What If #8 : Min & Kook or Busan Brothers?

Neuron by J-Hope (with Gaeko & YOON MIRAE) focused playlist.

[Music is a very big part of my life and I’m MOSTLY INCAPABLE of writing without music, so I just thought I'd share what I am listening to while writing this]

🐺 — 🐺 — 🐺—

Ladies, Gentlemen and Distinguished Enbies: HELLO!

How is everyone? Hope you are all enjoying this little break, if you celebrate Easter, and if for any reason you didn’t get a break either you don’t celebrate Easter, or you are part of the “holiday working class” I hope you are at least safe and serene 💜. All that said, let me tell you;

It’s incredible what a few days off can do, aye?!

For one I've been very vivid dreams and, for two, I’m actually in the mood of writing posts, would you look at that! AND BY THE WAY I keep forgetting to do this, but I will at some point later today I need to write an advisory note for the Sonyeondan Colosseum as I haven’t been there in a while but I still get aspiring gladiators, who are dying to participate, and albeit fun, at the moment, I really don't have that much time, to provide these fighters with the appropriate match they deserve 😫. So it is only right that I rely the appropriate information, as I do believe I run a fine institution and as such I am sorry for allowing my administration to slack real life suddenly got so busy and interesting that I didn’t, and still don't, have time to play, but who knows what the future holds right?! There just might appear a contender so unique, I might not resist the urge for a little tussle.

Anyways, back to the topic of this post, as it is sort of a continuation of this one → Solstice & Equinox, it is indeed about the Jikook Travel vlog we still no absolutely nothing about, but of which I woke up with thoughts/ideas about, hence, why I’ve placed this post, yet again, in my Silver Lining series 🤡. In my previous post I tried to predict the vlogs' scheduling, in this post I would like to talk about the possible style this vlog might take, while making, as always, educated guesses and also diving into JK’s filmmaking style.

⚠️I MOST LIKELY WILL WAX HELLA POETIC OVER A LOT OF FILMMAKING STRUCTURES, SO BE HELLA WARNED⚠️

Let’s start right off the bat with:

Also if you are NOT familiar with “Youtuber” Jimin, below is a little summary:

As you can probably tell by some of the ss because there are so many more, believe me!, JM is very enthusiastic about vlogging and, as we all know, JK is very enthusiastic about producing video related content as well as taking it further when he directed Life Goes On for example. Both JM and JK consume copious amounts of video content, be it movies, dramas, anime or shows and they often seem to be watching the same shows as well. Reason why, perhaps, they often seem to be the only privy of their media related inside jokes.

Now, imagine loving to watch shows so much and having as a significant other someone whom not only has so much footage/pictures of you which will never see btw 🤡 but also has the skills to potentially make a show out of you, or with you, because they also enjoy the same thing, what would you do? Sure, you like travelling and he is not too big into that, but some time 7 years ago this person not only took you on a trip, but also found the most memorable way to immortalise this for you, resulting in this person producing more and more travel vlogs. Not sure if JK has come to enjoy travelling, but one thing is for sure;

he seems to enjoy making one helluva good vlog out of it.

Now, before we get into the reason for my title (Min & Kook or Busan Brother?) let’s look into JK’s filmmaking style THIS IS WHERE I AM SURE I WILL NERD OUT, and in order to do this we will look into two of particular videos, as I feel like their travel vlog could be a mixture of this two:

VIDEO 1: [BTS VLOG] Jung Kook l CAMPING VLOG

youtube

VIDEO 2: G.C.F in Budapest

youtube

Let’s start from VIDEO 1. This was a series of vlogs we got from each of the members and were posted on BANGTANTV between July 9, 2022 and December 10, 2022 as always with the Tannies, the actual filming dates may or may not be close to the time they were posted. There are many different types of vlogs out there, because many are the different interests of viewers out there. When looking at our boys, you can clearly see theri vlogs divided in 3 specific types of vlogs:

“HOW TO”-vlog: In this type of video, usually the hosts want to learn to do something, and so they either attempt or they are a master in said craft to do said something, while showing the viewer step-by-step, with the intent/hope that the viewer can learn or feel inspired to want to do it as well.

Jin

Yoongi

“CELEBRITY LIFE”-vlog: This type of video, we follow a typical/particular day in the life of a celebrity. There is usually not so much editing done, and it gives very much the feeling of watching a reality TV show.

Tae

Hobi

“TRAVEL”-vlog: These are usually specifically about showcasing cities, spaces, activities. They are very action filled, so they will not have as many static shots as, for example, the previous two themes

Joonie

Even though JK and Joonie have the same style of vlog, there is something that JK has, which all the other 6 don’t, which is his own “colour”.

JK has a very specific style that is unique to himself within the group, and you can notice in the editing, which makes me think he often takes part in, whereas, even though the type of vlog is different for the other 6 members, the style of editing is the same for all of them. When I say that JK adds his own colour, I mean that, for example, he so often breaks the 4th wall in very conventional and unconventional ways and this is something I've noticed only he does actually in Bangtan.

Aside from JK’s Film Colour, I do believe that this is also an indication of how long we can hope their travel vlog to be. In the end the main event was camping, with other events as well and it was edited to 45mins, which is a long ass video for this type of vlog, it basically means that they realistically had hours of footage and at least 3 type of campers, which I will get into in my next point.

GCF in Budapest has all of JK’s colours as of 2023.

This video is the result of 6 years during which he filmed, edited and directed different projects. GCF in Budapest is very professional, and even though he didn’t do the final edit on this, he did direct it, meaning that there wasn’t a single shot that he hadn’t planned, requested or approved of. Basically, JK is the person that instructed other camera-people the times he wasn’t filming himself as to what shot he needed and wanted for the final project, all the way from principal, to secondary, footage I DON’T THINK YOU CAN’T BUT I’M ABOUT TO NERD OUT, RIGHT NOW. Following are the notable structures in this GCF, with related explanations/examples:

Non-static self-filming - This is the typical vlog style where the main subject is filming himself. But in his case he seems to favour this type of shots when he is moving the most, as if he wants us to fill like we are really travelling with him, as opposed to constantly placing the camera on the surface, not moving, and talking.

B-Roll Footage - is also known as “filler footage”. Usually there is no talking or nothing of importance, but they are quite good for either transitions or comic relief. I LOVE B-ROLL FOOTAGE and JK uses it so well. I believe that b-rolls fit JK so well because of his personality, he tends to space out so often that, in the filmmaking context, this type of footage offers a way to show this dimension of his personality, for example, himself goofing off in the b-roll is perhaps what he does in his head when he is spacing out in real life.

Traditional filming - This is your typical main subject being filmed by a camera-person. As there seem to be two different angles during this type of shot, there were at least 2 different people filming him I will not go deep into the type of camera/s that were you as this is not that kind of post.

Establishing shots - This are shots that make the viewer know where and when something is happening, and they are extremely important in film-making, but not really in vlogging as the title of the vlog already tells you where and sometimes when, if not you’ll find out in the dialog you are, but it is exactly this kind of touch that makes his work feel very cinematographic.

All the aforementioned, are characteristics that I am expecting to see in their travel blog and I am soooooo much looking forward to check our the whole crew, if by any chance we get a roll end credit scene 🥹 to be honest, going back to video 1, since they were in each known location for more than a day, they could make at least 2 self-sufficient vlogs but hey ….

JK surely came a long way from GCF in Tokyo, didn’t he? And even though he hasn’t produced a GCF with the same colours ever since, there was something that was:

To me, filming is the art of skilfully deceiving, while willfully being deceived, during a specific amount of time, after which we all go back to our realities unharmed or “not”, depending on the depth of the film.

Films are like magic.

But what is filming for JK? To be veeeeery honest with you, the person who has a future in acting amongst the Tannies is Kim Taehyung, yet, the two people who can for sure act, on the silver-screen, are Kim Seokjin and Kim Taehyung … so why do I feel like Tae is the only only that has a future in this field? Because Tae can live for and with it. Just knowing how to act is not enough, you have to want to be an actor, for real-real. You know how Hobi breathes dancing? Tae breathes out imaginary characters in a similar way, reason why I can see him having a very prolific career as an actor as well.

Now ... why do I bring this up?

If JK just wanted to become a movie director alongside being the amazing musician he is, he’s had the perfect subject/s to do so. So why has he been so fixated with filming JM? JM is not the type of subject you can use for a long film, sure, he likes to act with his friends, but I don't think that cinema glory is one of his objectives in life I may be very wrong. He can perform/dance like hell crazy for the camera, HANDS FUCKING DOWN, but, once again, serious silver-screen acting isn’t what he wants. So, once again, given a choice of Tae and Jin;

Why JM?

TIME FOR TIN HATS Y’ALL HURRY 👏🏾 HURRY👏🏾 HURRY! 📢

I, Marengo, think that JK had always intended to make GCF in Tokyo as merely a video to preserve the happy memories, during a hard moment in their lives, which they spent together. This video-gift was specifically intended, for JM, in the style that JM mostly appreciated at the time, which might have happened to be YT vlogs. While editing his video, JK perhaps realised that it might have been a bit on the nose, so he added establishing b-roll shots of Tokyo, thinking it might have been enough to divert the attention from JM; but unfortunately failed. For a few reasons, but mainly, the lack of any spoken words in my opinion.

The thing is that for the purposes of what i think his objective was, words were absolutely not needed. “Look! See how happy you were here! It doesn’t matter how shit things are, we can still be happy; You can still be happy!” In the same way, with Life Goes On he wanted us to see their changed everyday life of the time, the sadness, melancholy and hope they all felt. Words were not needed, and this is the type of filming which is closest to the inner colours of Jeon Jungkook. JK is not the best with words, so I believe that he found in filmmaking a form of expressing himself in a more effective way.

HOWEVER, as we all know, even though Life Goes On was well received, GCF in Tokyo’s main critique was “Where is tokyo? All I see is JM”. Yet, his main purpose wasn’t Tokyo, the shots, the song, the editing, clearly indicated that. Nevertheless, if at the time, JM was indeed his queer interest as I don’t believe they were going steady at the time, he wasn’t going to jump out gun blazing to defend his choice; was he now? No, he left us to believe that he was gonna get better, and next thing he did was add more members and better establishing shots, but never forget; gcf in Tokyo is still there and still something he remembers fondly.

Now as for the title of this post 😂😂😂. Be it straight, queer, interrational or whatever, there is one thing that most of couple YT channels have in common:

Their channel name is either a union of their name or there is and &/and to join siad names. When JM was pretending to have a channel with JK during this live → VMINKOOK LIVE he named their channel MinKook, because he was Min and he was Kook so, MinKook and let’s forget for a second that this actually resulted to be a very funny korean pun. I honestly do believe that if you are a platonic duo on YT you will very rarely use your name with your friends name as it seems like it is a universal YT truth that “” & “” channels are couple channels. So if anything, if JM was talking out of subconscious, he maybe had been watching a lot of YT couple channels, at the time, and thought it okay for them to have a channel name that matched the same energy? …

🤡🤡🤡

So my question is: will the channel be named something akin to that couple vibe RISKY AF, WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?? Or will it be something more like the Busan Brothers name that they are often given … HELLA SAFE, MAKES A LOT OF SENSE? I guess only time will tell!

Ok then, hats off! Let's go back to reality, where we can happily keep waiting for this blasted travel vlog LOL.

Always respectfully yours 💜🫰🏾,

Marengo.

Behind Closed Doors-Chapter One

A/N: So sorry for the wait but here it is!! The first chapter of Behind Closed Doors!! I had a major writing block for a while and I just got out of it so excuse me if anything is bad. ENJOY!!!

IMPORTANT THINGS: Your last name in this series is Barlowe (Bar-Low) because it sounds cool. As of right now, it’s the fall of the third year.

Word Count: 2.0k

Warnings: Swearing, mentions of fighting

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dark rooms, secret looks, quiet laughs, and crossing paths. With hurried touches, and scrambling to the next class. The small smiles and shared butterbeer in reserved areas. That's what your relationship with Draco Malfoy was like. You didn’t remember life before him, but you definitely remembered the fight to get him.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was unusually quiet today. Usually, you were surrounded by the lack of genius that was your twin brothers Bennet and Calum. But today, you were freed of their idiotic mess of so-called “company”, and finally had some alone time to sit and relax and work on your work for the other classes. Or, so you thought. It was never a dull moment with you. You always had something going on, or something happening around you that diverted your time and energy away from something that was very insignificant.

And this time, it was the insolence of your brother and the infamous Draco Malfoy.

You sighed as you closed your books and directed your attention to the source of the commotion. Bennet was standing there, an enraged look creeped upon his face the more he heard Draco speak. His olive eyes blaring with a fire that could not be put out.

While Bennet constrained himself, trying not to deck Draco in the face, Calum fidgeted with his hands, his oversized glasses falling down his nose while he stared at Bennet and Draco.

Draco stood there. His shoulders high, and his smirk everlasting as he crossed his arms and stood confidently as he watched the anger seep through your brother's mouth. You were not going to get yourself involved, you had no interest in getting involved in your brother's quarrels (unless it got physical). But as you looked forward at the direction of the argument, your eyes met. You tried to look away,

But oh, la manera en la que te mira. (The way he looked at you)

Those gray eyes stared deeply into yours and as you looked you could see his expression change. You saw his gaze drop to yours, and you saw his smirk fade and get washed over with a gaze that could only be described as wonder.

He had truly never seen someone as soft as you before. He felt his heartbeat quicken as he continued to study your face. The way your hair fell into your face, and how your eyes were glossed with curiosity. You intrigued Draco Malfoy. Something that not all people could say they experienced.

Your brother seemed to notice the sudden shift in Dracos' normally cocky mood, when Bennet suddenly yelled something. Suddenly, Draco’s face went out of view as Bennet’s fist collided with Draco's jaw. Before you could process what was happening, Draco and Bennet were in a full-blown fist fight. Bennet was on top of Draco, his fist repeatedly hitting Draco’s face, as Draco tried to throw your brother off of him.

You ran over, pushing through the crowd of people surrounding the fight and encouraging your brother to continue the assault of Malfoy. You looked around, searching for your other brother when he came across Harry Potter and his gang.

You weren’t necessarily friends with them, but nor were you enemies. But the way they were cheering with the rest of the crowd, encouraging your bone-headed brother to continue to beat Draco Malfoy senselessly infuriated you.

You shoved through the last few people before, quite literally kicking your brother in the gut, causing him to whine in pain and fall off of Draco. You stepped over Draco complaining about how he would “tell his precious daddy about this” and grabbed your brother by his ear before smacking him in the head.

People went quiet, and they whispered as they watched you drag your brother away from the fight, but not before you looked back at Draco with a sympathetic look, showing him that you apologized on your brother's behalf. And to Draco, that made his heart soar. He held his aching jaw bone and looked at your back as you walked away.

Draco smiled to himself, a giddy smile that others could only see as a ‘lovestruck’ gaze.

Once you dragged Bennet into a less crowded hallway, and had Calum trailing behind you, you put both of them against the wall and started to interrogate them.

“What the hell were you doing, Bennet?” Bennet looked down and muttered something incoherent. “I asked you, what the HELL were you doing?”

“I said I was talking with Draco.”

“Talking? Talking? What the hell do you mean talking? You nearly punched his face in!”

“I really should've fully punched it in. Maybe he would’ve thought twice before telling his daddy about every single thing.”

“Bennet.” You warned. He glared at you and sighed as he leaned up against the wall.

“He was saying how bad we were at quidditch. How we shouldn’t even be on the team, and how,” Bennet paused, as if the next words were unspeakable. You studied his face, and you could see the anger in his face piling up like a stack of dominos.

“Draco said how we act and play just like dad.” Calum spoke up.

oh.

You immediately knew and felt the same anger as Bennet did, but unlike Bennet, you kept yourself calm and you just took a deep breath before speaking again.

“I get that you're angry Bennet, but you know what moms gonna say.”

“She’s just gonna tell me not to do it again, like all the other times.”

“No Bennet, you know she’ll make you resign from the team if you get into another fight. If you keep letting yourself slip like this instead of focusing on school, she’ll pull you out. And Bennet, I can’t make excuses for you forever you know.”

Bennet refused to make eye contact with you because he knew you were right, but he didn’t want to admit it. He knew that if he kept letting his grades drop and his anger rise then your mother would pull him out of anything to make him focus on school again.

“Okay. I’ll be more careful.” You sighed in relief as you turned to get your stuff. But, Bennet grabbed your arm, making you stumble backwards and looking at him in confusion.

“But listen to this. I will destroy Malfoy in every way that I can. He’s said too much about my- our family to let it slide. If he says anything more I will bash his face in.” You rolled your eyes and gave both your brothers a condescending look.

“That's between you and God boys.” Was all you said before you walked away. You heard Bennet scoff and Calum sigh. As the bell rang and all of you hurried off to class.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco was thinking about you the whole class. It was infuriating. He couldn’t get the image of you in the field out of his brain and people were noticing the sudden shift in Dracos mood throughout the day that even Harry Potter was a tad bit concerned.

As for you, you tried your best to distance yourself away from him. You two never really talked, but you were paired up as lab partners a couple times. And those couple times meant something to you, as you had steadily developed something for the boy. And you hated yourself for it.

How could you even like someone like him? Someone so insolent, rude, mean and….handsome. The thought of Draco staring at you in the field was on your mind the rest of the day, the image wouldn’t leave you alone, and the more you thought about it the more butterflies appeared and flew around in your stomach. You knew if your brothers ever found out about your feelings for Draco they would go crazy. And you didn’t wanna hurt or cause your brothers to look at you differently just because of a stupid crush.

You were on your way to class, thinking about a plethora of things that caused your mind to be clouded and confused. That’s when you bumped into Draco Malfoy, quite literally. Your books fell from your hands and the pages of your notebook scattered across the floor.

‘Great, just great. Another late to class.’ was all you thought about as you tried to scavenge the missing parts of your notebook, and pick up your books. You were just about done when you saw a hand reach out to you, holding one of the designs from your notebook.

You muttered a quick thank you while taking the paper. But, something caught your attention. The glistening silver ring on the middle finger of the person who you had bumped into. The ring was beautiful, it had two letters carved in the side of it, and a silver snake reaching across the length of the ring. The snake's eyes glared at you, the blaring emeralds shined at you as you put two and two together and figured out who the person in front of you was.

“Malfoy.”

“Barlowe.”

You two stared at each other and from your side, it was a mix of hate, fear, and being flustered. While form him, he stared at you with content and eagerness.

“Thanks for helping me out earlier.” He laughed. You looked at his face and saw his black eye, bruised cheek and cut lip. He somehow still managed to pull at your heartstrings when he looked as beat up as he did. But, nonetheless you kept it cool.

“I didn’t help you out. I was helping my brother not get suspended from the school.” Draco looked at you with a raised eyebrow. It’s like he was taunting you, like he knew you had feelings for him and decided to make it harder for you, just because he could.

“It seemed like you were helping me.”

“Well I wasn’t.”

“Huh, what a pity.”

No more words were said, you two just stood in the hall and stared at each other. Draco’s eyebrow was still cocked and you were fidgeting with your papers. The look he was giving you was sending you over the edge. It made you angry how one person can look so condescending and hot at the same time.

“Move Malfoy. I have class.”

“Is that the best excuse you have?”

“She said move Malfoy.” Fuck.

Bennet stood behind you, and you didn’t have to turn around to feel the anger bruning off of his skin. Calum stood next to him, not saying anything, but having an equally as formidable look on his face.

Draco shifted uncomfortably for a second before angrily staring at your brothers. He didn’t say anything, but you could tell he wanted to say at least something.

“Leave us alone Malfoy. Unless you want that bruise to get worse.” Calum threatened. It was a rare site to see Calum ever threaten anyone no matter what the cause, but you knew not to bring it up in later conversions as he always got embarrassed about such things.

Draco looked between your brothers and you before scowling at them and muttering his infamous line “what until my father hears about this.” But before he strolled off, he looked at you, and he winked before turning himself around and disappearing into a hallway.

“Did he just…”

“Wink at Y/n? Yes.”

Your brothers stood there confused, while you stood there with a rush of heat racing its way up to your cheeks. You knew Draco Malfoy was flirty, you told yourself, that was nothing different.

You and your brothers made your way to class. Your brothers rambled on and on about the upcoming game, but the actions of Draco flooded your mind, and even during the lesson you couldn't get the image of his deceitful yet enticing smirk, and the way he smiled at you or the sound of his half hearted laugh.

You groaned as you put your head on the desk to try and hide the obvious redness on your face and ears. You knew you couldn’t be with him, and you knew that even having the slightest feelings for Draco was unspeakable between you and your brothers. So why him? Why the boy that made your brothers miserable, why did it just have to be the rival?

If I can't sleep that's ok because you know what.... I will post one more small excerpt from my oc writing practice wips. Just once more for now

probably the only context you need for this one is that everyone's at a party that a place is throwing them for completing a big mission. so here it is

-----

As the party raged on within the stone walls, Polaris slipped away to the porch. She took slow steps, carefully carrying an arranged plate of finger food she’d collected. She sat down on the floor, and leaned her head up against the wall. Taking in the muted sounds of the festivity indoors, she found comfort in this space that hovered between the roaring celebration and the stillness of the night.

Polaris wasn’t alone in seeking refuge outside, another person had found their way to her hiding spot- It’s Mira! Though Polaris had ventured out to eat alone, Mira was certainly not unwelcome company.

However, Mira did not seem to notice Polaris sitting on the ground. She walked right past her, lost in her own thoughts as she made her way to the railing, relaxing her arms on it.

“Hey,” Polaris spoke in a cautious voice, so as not to startle her teammate. Still, she saw Mira tense at the sound of her voice.

“Oh! Polly! I didn't see you, sorry!”

Polaris laughs, “All good!”

“What are you doing… sitting on the ground alone?”

“Eating,” Polaris shrugged, and took another bite of her food.

“Ohh…”

“What about you? I didn't think you'd be the type to leave parties. Aren’t you a social butterfly?”

“I'd like to be a butterfly!” Mira laughs, turning her face towards the sky above, her eyes sparkling with wonder, “But actually I just wanted to look at the stars a little. They're clearer here in the mountains y'know…”

“Hm,” Polaris followed Mira's gaze upwards. She rose to her feet, joining Mira at the railing, “Yeah, you're right.”

“It's so pretty,” Mira marveled, tracing the constellations above. She adds, “It's so big.”

“Yeah, well, that's space.”

They fell into a comfortable stilless, taking in the enchanting view of the starry sky. The distant sounds of the party still echoed in the background, the golden light from inside illuminating only their backs.

“Do you ever feel like this is the wrong place?”

Polaris tilted her head and raised an eyebrow at Mira's sudden question. “What do you mean?”

Mira raised a single outstretched hand to the heavens, as if waiting for the universe to take it. Staring at the gaps of sky between her fingers, she continues, "Don't you feel like… We're supposed to be up there?"

Polaris looks into Mira's eyes, which were still fixated above. She could only see a vague wistfulness within them- A nostalgia. The stars themselves shined within those eyes. Polaris couldn’t explain why, but this made her uneasy.

As if in a daze, Mira stood on her tiptoes and reached for the stars with all her might. In a panic, Polaris drops her plate and grabs onto her friend.

“Polaris? What are you doing?” Mira’s trance was broken by the sudden embrace, “I thought you weren't a hugger?” She joked.

“I thought… I thought the stars were going to take you away,” Polaris mumbled, embarrassed by the ridiculousness of her own words, “So I held on…”

Mira couldn’t help but laugh at this absurd statement, “What? That's silly! How would that even work?” poking fun at her friend's nonsense concerns, she tried to lighten the mood.

“I don't-” Polaris relaxed her grip, but didn't fully let go of Mira, “It really felt like it…”

Mira let out a sigh and patted her head, “I wouldn't let that happen, okay?”

Having these irrational concerns humored somehow made Polaris feel even more embarrassed. She released Mira from her embrace, and stepped back to lean on the railing. "Sorry,” she replied.

“Well, I'm just glad you care so much!” Mira laughed again, not letting up on her teasing. However, her snarky smile softens and she leaves Polaris with a, “Thank you.”

With that, Mira heads back inside, leaving Polaris alone with her thoughts. She took one last glance at the stars.

“The right place…” She whispers to the night.

#finn's ocs #now for girls #but actually there is ONE thing in this one that relates to the last one i posted #it's really small so I'll just point it out- saiph and mira both comfort people by patting their heads lol #also going back to the first one i posted- polaris gets to eat! yay!#ALSO w polaris i wanna have distinct moments where the description for her team each switch from teammate to friend. this is mira's #i also wanna work in distinct moments where the descriptions for characters will change from boy/girl to man/woman.#bc they're all like in their mid 20s by the end. and i wrote one for bella but it's not cleaned up #but yeah that's what i got and those are my thoughts

Yooo bestayy!

So uh- I can't sleep rn but um idk if your doing requests soooooooooooooo.

May I request a Yandere madrigal family (separate) reacting to their s/o wanting to break up with them because they fell out of loved or something also the platonics doesn't like that so they try to get them to come back but unfortunately it doesn't work so they USE force to get back with them (it works or not, your choice bestie)

And uhhhh si. Yea that's all.

BUT IF YOU CAN'T DO IT BESTAY THEN IT'S FINE DEAR ❤️ I'M ALWAYS OK WITH YOUR CHOICE!!!❤️👋

(Hiiii bestie! I will of course do it! Also I won't be doing Abuela or Antonio, for obvious reasons. This also might be my longest write yet...May of changed it up a bit. Cause thats what i accidently started writing.)

Yandere Madrigals reacting to their s/o /friend wanting to leave them

(Some are platonic. They're not too good either, sorry.)

Tw: Drugging, kidnapping, blood, unhealthy obsession, yander themes.

Mirabel:

"Mirabel, I'm breaking up with you."

Your voice rang in her ears like poison, you want to break up with her? Your lying right? "Nice joke (y/n)," Mirabel said jokingly.

"I'm not joking Mirabel, I'm serious."

Mirabels smile, curved into a frown. "Why?!" Mirabel asked, on the verge of tears. "Well, it's just...I don't feel anything when I'm with you Mira." You told her with guilt lacing your voice, "w-what are you saying?" Mirabel asked, with tears forming in her eyes. "

"I'm saying I don't love you anymore Mirabel,"

Mirabels face turned into a sad type of looking shock, "yea but I still love you (y/n)!" Mirabel said, trying to up turn the mood. "But I don't love you, I'm sorry Mirabel."

Silence filled the room, "I'll just go pack..." You told the crying girl, no reponse was heard from her. You gazed at her for a second, before you left the room.

Once you had packed your things, you walked down to the front door of casita.

When you tried to open the door it wouldn't budge, "casita please let me out." You asked the house politely, but it refused to when you attempted to open the door again.

You suddenly heard Mirabels voice from behind,

"You're staying here (y/n)..."

Isabela:

You walked into the flowery room, walking over to Isabela, who was attending to one of her plants.

"Hey Isabela..." She looked over to you, an eyebrow raising in curiosity. "Yes (Y/n) darling?" She asked with a smile. "Can we talk, please?" You said as you sat down onto Isabelas bed. "Yes certainly, but what about?" Isabela said, sitting next to you. Her hands gently sat in her lap. "Uhm, this is pretty hard to say..." You said as you quietly sighed, looking down to the ground.

"I just don't think this is working for us Isa..." You told her gently, "what do mean by that?" Isabela asked, "I'm just saying, this relationship, I don't think is working."

Isabelas eyes widended, she then scoffed. "What do you mean it isn't working, of course it is!" She spat, "I'm sorry-" You said, trying to calm her. Knowing what was about to happen. "No! What did I ever do to deserve this?!" Isabela screamed, now off of the bed. Standing angrily in front of you, you stood up also. Ready for the argument that was about to commence.

"Isa, it isn't-" "BE QUIET!!" She shouted, she then continued. "Tell me, what did I do wrong?! TELL ME!" Isabela asked, her face now only inches from yours. You backed away slightly, "you didn't do anything Isabela, I just don't think this is right for me." You told her calmly, also In a attempt to comfort her. "YOU? YOU?!"

"Look, I'm sorry for upsetting you. But I'm leaving." You told her sternly.

As you attempted to walk off you suddenly became entangled in vines, you thrash around in them in a attempt to escape. But no avail.

Isabela is now infront of you, "ISABELA!-" Your mouth then is covered in vines, muffling anything you say.

"You just thought you could break up with me? You're mine, and always will be. Remember that.

Luisa:

(Short one, because she's literally so sweet as a yandere.)

"Where would you like to go now (y/n)?" Luisa asked with a sweet tone. "Um, I can't just keep putting this behind and behind me. We need to talk Luisa,"

Luisa's smilie suddenly curved into a soft frown, she knew what 'we need to talk meant' and it wasn't a good talk.

You two then both sat, a look of sorrow on both faces. "Luisa," you sighed. Then looking back up to Luisa.

"I just don't think this relationship is working between us."

your voice felt like poison to her ears, "w-what?! What did I do wrong?" She asked, tears filling her eyes. "You did nothing wrong Luisa, it's me. I just don't think I have feelings for you anymore. I'm sorry..."

After you spoke, you clearly saw the pained expression in Luisa's eyes. You felt like such trash right now.

You shifted the chair back, and stood. You were about to walk away, but a hand landed on your shoulder. You already knew who's it was. You turned around to see Luisa's tear stained cheeks, "you can't leave (y/n!), please, surely you have some type of feelings still. Right?" You gently shook your head, "no I don't Luisa, I'm sorry for hurting you like this."

With that you attempt to walk away, but a hand grabs you on your arm this time. A stronger grip with it. "What are you doing Luisa?" You ask.

"I'm sorry (Y/n), but your staying whether you like it or not..."

Julieta and Agustin: (Platonic)

"Um, guys can we talk please?" You ask nervously, the 3 of you now sitting. "What is it dear?" Julieta gently asks, Agustin giving you a smile also.

"Well um," You find it hard to say, since you know they're not going to take this easy. "I just don't think we should be together anymore..."

Julieta's and Agustin and faces drop, having a look of sorrow. With their mouths slightly hanging open. Julieta scoffs, "surely your wrong right?" She says, Agustin then chimes in. "I agree with Julieta, are you sure you've thought this through?" "Yes I have, I've actually been thinking about it for a while." You say sorrowfully. "I'm sorry if I hurt you both," "of course not mi amor. If you believe this is right for you, do it." Julieta says, putting her hand on top of yours. So does Agustin.

They bring their hands back, "at least some food before you leave?" Julieta offers. "That sounds nice," you reply.

Until the food is cooked, Agustin sits and waits with you. Giving you a soft stare and gentle smile.

A few minutes later, the food is finally ready. Julieta serves you the food, they oddly stare at you as you eat. You just decided to ignore it.

After you finish, you thank Julieta. "Thank you Julieta, great as always." You say, you go to stand up but Agustin says something. "About this relation ship thing mi amor," "your staying." Julieta says finishing the sentence off.

"What do you-"

Your eyes start to suddenly feel heavy, you quickly start to feel dizzy. Your eyes then close, you fall asleep. Falling into Agustins arms as they both smile as they look at you.

"They're so cute when they're sleeping aren't they?" "Yea, they are."

(I hope this platonic one was okay, I'm not too good at writing platonic yandere. Sorry.)

Dolores: (This might be short, idk)

"We're breaking up Dolores," You told the girl with a hard tone in your voice. "No we're not." Dolores said darkly. "Yes we are Dolores, and that's finale."

"You're mine, (y/n). You can't leave."

"First of all, I'm not 'yours'. And secondly this is the exact reason I'm breaking up with you, you're to posessive and clingy. It's getting tiresome."

You go to walk out the door, but are stopped by Dolores's voice. "And who are you gonna go to? You have no family or friends. You have me and that's it."

She was right who were you going to go to?! You hated how she was right. but she was. They had all left you when Dolores told them lies about you, just so they wouldn't talk to you anymore.

"That's what I thought, now come back and unpack your things."

Camilo:

"You're leaving?!" Camilo asked sorrowfully, you gave a soft nod. "Yes Camilo, I'm afraid this relationship just isn't working. I'm sorry if I hurt you." You said, walking over to the door, about to leave.

"W-w-wait, (Y/n), please! I'm sure we can just work something out!" Camilo shouted, "I'm afriad we can't. Goodbye, Camilo." (I don't know why the reader is so posh. Lol)

You started to twist the doorknob, but Camilos begging and sorrow voice stopped you, once again. His arms also wrapped tightly around your waist. "Please don't goooo (Y/n)," he begged, acting like a child who didn't want their mother to go. "Camilo stop this! You're acting like a child!" You scolded.

"Let go of me now!" You boomed, your hands finally being able to pry off Camilos arms. You opened the door, ready to leave once and for all. You looked back, seeing Camilo one last time.

"Can I please have a hug at least?"

You sighed in defeat, "fine."

As you hugged him, you suddenly felt a sharp prick in your side. You looked down to see Camilo grinning, a needle stuck into your side. "I'm sorry (y/n), but I just can't let you leave. I can't let any other being touch you." Your vision then turned all black.

Your eyes slowly opened, your mind foggy. You looked to see Camilo, standing above you. Smiling. "Let me go now!!" You demanded, thrashing around in the ropes that sealed you.

"Sorry but I can't do that Mi amor, you're my vida."

Pepa and Felix: (Platonic)

You stared boredly out the window, wishing you were free. Yes, Pepa and Felix did let you outside. It was just that, you didn't feel anything in this friendship anymore. You just felt dull and empty eveytime you saw the two.

"Everything okay mi vida?" Felix suddenly asked, concerned.

"Oh yea! Uh i'm fine." You replied.

You turned around to face him, "um is it okay if I talk with you guys?" You asked, getting slightly anxious. "Sure mi amor, I'll go get Pepa."

"Thanks."

A few minutes later you were now standing between a angry Pepa and Felix.

"You want to leave us?" Pepa growled, Felix standing firmly beside her. "Um yea," you replied. Sinking into your self a little, knowing they weren't gonna take this easy at all.

"I'm sorry if-" Pepa cut you off, "after everything we done for you, and just for you to leave us?!!" Pepa screamed. Making it feel like your ears were going to bleed at any second.

"No please I swear, it isn't-"

You then fell to the floor, remains of a smashed vase sitting next to you. The slightlest bit of blood leaking from your head, you weren't dead. They made sure of that.

"You really thought you could just leave us, couldn't you?" They both said in sync.

Damn that was a long one!

(sorry for not adding Bruno!)

Poppy Sweeting and Anne Sallow HCs

(These are all within the context of "The Softest Magic" and how I've chosen to develop their characters!)

Poppy Sweeting

Only shy if you don't know her. Once Vera befriends her (or, rather, the other way around), she shows more of her fiercer side.

Seriously, under that sweet surface is someone you really do not want to mess with. This girl fucks with poacher camps for fun, she will not take kindly to anyone who messes with anyone she cares about.

She will not hesitate to tell you exactly what's on her mind, after she feels she's given enough grace and patience. She and Vera often have come-to-jesus (merlin? lol) talks with each other where they hold nothing back.

Extremely thoughtful and caring friend. Vera has a collection of shiny bits and bobs Poppy collected from the Hogwarts nifflers for her, just because they were pretty.

I personally HC her as biromantic. Others might see her differently and that's fine, just how I see her in my characterisation!

Her relationship with Vera is complicated - I'd consider them as more than simple friends, but not entangled romantically. They both care fiercely and would do anything for each other. Neither of them see a need to define it - it is what is is and they love each other, and that's all they need.

This is partially due to how they were connected in their childhoods, but also due to how they just get each other. Both grew up surrounded by beasts and were connected by multiple events they wouldn't learn about until later. They feel like they were a missing link in each other's lives until they become close.

Seriously intimidating when she wants to be. Truly a caring person at heart, but realises that sometimes you need to be firm, and she's not afraid to be that person. She and Vera bring that out in each other.

Anne Sallow

Once some control is gained over her curse and she's able to function somewhat normally, her personality really shines.

Between her and Sebastian, she's definitely the wilder one. She adores duelling and is incredibly brave, to the point of being a little reckless. Not uncommon to hear her cackling in the midst of a duel, high on sheer adrenaline.

She and Sebastian are incredibly close, even moreso after Ava (Vera's mum) is able to stabilise her curse temporarily. They often move in tandem, and make formidable opponents. Sebastian is more of a strategist, and she's more of an "act now, ask questions later" type. Somehow they balance out.

Wingwoman to the extreme. She wouldn't stop bugging Ominis and Vera until they finally got together.

Since she takes after her mother (Solomon's sister), she faces the least of his ire. She can hold her own against him when he's in a bad mood (which is pretty much always). When Mira comes to live with her, Solomon gives her a wide berth.

She spends her days studying, continuing her schooling from home. Thanks to Ava and Vera's efforts, she has a semblence of hope for her future again.

Also thanks to Ava, she wants to become a Healer if she's ever fully cured. They both develop a very close relationship, and Ava considers her another daughter (and Sebastian as a son.)

Vera considers her the sister she never got to have. Anne returns the sentiment.

Loves pranks, loves mischief. Another thing she and Ava bond over. Together, those two are a force to be reckoned with.

MAGNOLIA, FIORE. YEAR X783. 6 MONTHS UNTIL THE ANNUAL S-CLASS MAGE PROMOTION TRAIL BEGINS. FIRST MISSION: Loke & Cana Alberona JOB TYPE: PARTNERS JOB LEVEL: Intermediate Description: Escort and protect the daughter of a high-ranking noble during a celebrity dance. Investigate rumors of suspected involvement of a Dark Guild. REWARD: 600,000 Jewels

█ ▌ ╰ *｡ ☼ *ﾟ ╮ ┆❛ THE SUN: @shinebrightlikealion

TENSIONS WITHIN THE GUILD WERE APPROACHING NEAR-CRITICAL LEVELS THAT WERE A HAIR-TRIGGER AWAY FROM SENDING EVERYONE TO A VOLATILE PEAK. This was expected considering that the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial was only mere months away. The annual tradition continued in a cycle that turned ceaselessly into a continuum for as long as Cana was aware of Fairy Tail's history. Which wasn't a whole lot, she had to admit, but hey, she made an attempt to learn. That had to count for something, right?

Today however was the worst time to approach the job request board. With only less than six months remaining in the year, Cana's search for jobs was becoming a frantic routine that bore little fruit. The card mage felt she was already several steps behind in the race to become a candidate for the trials. Rumors that circled within the halls whispered of anyone taking on a large number of jobs was considered an active participant, leading to the belief that anyone taking on a job would have a chance to become a candidate. It was only a rumor, but it was one that Cana couldn't afford to ignore. This was her chance to become a candidate-- and if she succeeded, she would become a few steps closer to earning the title of S-Class.

Wait for me father...I'll be beside you soon.

Determined steps crossed the threshold of the bustling halls and lead her to the request board. There was an unusual absence surrounding it, aside from Nab, who she greeted with a polite nod before briefly scanning the jobs posted. She didn't bother hiding her disappointment when all the solo high-value jobs were taken, instead a clipped sigh and a scowl summoned by frustration brought her mood to an all-time low. The only jobs that were available for consideration required a partner-- and while that was fine in theory, there was no one that she could rely on that she trusted implicitly to watch her back-- well, aside from Gray, but that idiot had gone off to do god knew what-- and then there was that guy, but he never seemed to be around, except when it was for training...

“ I guess we can count that as your reward for knocking me down. ”

Best not to think about that Alberona. You've got a job to do-- don't get distracted.

Right.

Easier said than done.

BUT AS THE OLD SAYING FAMOUSLY GOES: SPEAK OF THE DEVIL, AND HE SHALL APPEAR.

❝Hey--❞ That unmistakable voice called to her, in the same dulcet tone that made her pulse beat and skin flush in phantom remembrance to a play that was only ( anything but ) casual. ❝--heard you were looking for a partner of some sort, for a mission?❞

Well, shit.

Word traveled fast she supposed, but it wasn't like she exactly kept it a secret either. Though if she had to pick who would be her partner, she supposed there were worse choices available. It helped that Loke was capable at least-- he was no slouch when it came to a fight, whether magical or physical either. So with a quick breath, the Seer cocked her hip to the side and cast him a scrutinizing sort of look before nodding.

❝Yeah,❞ she replied. ❝I talked to Mira about takin' on a job, but all the solo missions are taken. She said the only ones left need a partner. Y'up for it?❞

Bind.

To wrap (something) tightly.

"If worse comes to worse, Abyssal, I'm going to have to ask you to bind her."

Those words continue to ring in Abyssal's mind as she grips her head. The meeting room was chaotic and loud, everyone shouting and arguing. It hadn't even been a week since the Code Rot was found out, and everything went to shit.

Especially since two people Abyssal cared deeply about were found out to be a part of Patient Zero. It was a miracle that they were able to calm down Antivirus, Domain, and Forum when Cursor opened her mouth on the subject..

"-SKIN YOU LIKE THE FUCKING SCRAPS YOU ARE-"

"-DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE WHEN THEY CAUSED-"

Abyssal grips the roots of her hair, gritting her teeth. She'd give anything to turn off her audio intake, but she really couldn't, considering she was the only Admin capable of facing the infected and not getting infected herself.

"-NOT BE KILLING INNOCENT PROGRAMS-"

"WHAT OTHER CHOICE-"

An Admin whose name Abyssal couldn't care to remember at the moment was cut off by the sound of the meeting room doors slamming open. All attention turns to whomever it was.

"Abyssal. With me. Now."

It was Vitality. No one had really seen her since the word of the Code Rot began, having practically moved to a specialized space to deal with figuring out two of the three Patient Zeros, and containing any infected that Abyssal caught.

But judging by the look in Vitality's eyes, Abyssal knew that this wasn't regarding anything new. In fact, it was regarding something the two had discussed regarding the second Patient Zero.

Something the two agreed that shouldn't exactly be discussed with anyone else.

Abyssal stands up from her chair, knocking it to the ground. Confused and worried looks watch the two of them as Abyssal briskly walks out of the meeting room, her head hung as her hair covers her face.

"Figure out a solution," Vitality hisses, her nails digging into the doors and making them creak, "or else I will use one of you to try and figure out a cure."

With that, Vitality slams the doors shut, and her heavy words echo through the now silent room.

○●○

"I'm guessing she's worse," is the first thing out of Abyssal's mouth as she and Vitality exit the portal.

"It's gotten to the point where that wall won't contain her anymore." Vitality shakes her head. "She needs to be bound, now."

"God, Antivirus is gonna kill us." The abyss-born can't help a small, bitter laugh. "Mira, too. Maybe even Amy. Fuck- I.." She let's out a shuddering breath. "Is she even still coherent?"

"Thankfully, yes." The medic nods as the two begin begin walking through the hall, heading to the two specialized rooms where the two are being held. The muffled sounds of the infected in other halls were present. "I think it's because of her code's origin. It's highly resilient against this."

Abyssal breaths out a small sigh before her mood plummets. "But she still needs to be restrained."

"It can't be risked any longer." Vitality frowns.

The two get to the cell, and Abyssal feels like throwing up. Root's horns were out, and they were curling more like a deer's now. They were splintered everywhere, silver blood dripping from some parts. Her tail was also frayed, and her claws were mismatched in size.

The virus looks up, her eyes tired. Behind the wall, she manages a weak smile and wages.

Abyssal inhales deeply, forms some chains, and walks in, the door hissing and locking shut behind her. "Hey, Root. How are you feeling?"

"Tired.." Root murmers, sitting against the wall opposite of the see-through wall of code. Her arms were lazily wrapped around her knees, eyes half-lidded. "Body's burning up.."

"That's just your code trying to help you feel better," Abyssal says, her voice soft as she walks over. "So.. I have to-"

"Bind me." The Offshoot nods. "I asked.. for Vitality to.. tell you to do it.."

The Admin's heart breaks. "Oh, I see. Well.. do you want to get in a more comfortable position?"

Root nods and slowly moves to be sitting down normally. She places her hands in her lap, and Abyssal begins wrapping the infected virus in chains.

"Is everyone else.. okay?" Root asks, voice soft.

"They're okay." Abyssal nods, wrapping some chains around the virus's wrists. "Everyone is healthy."

"Good.."

While Root was definitely coherent, Abyssal could see that the young girl wasn't there mentally. She was trying to mentally distance herself, and the Admin didn't blame her.

"Can you.. tell everyone I'm okay..?"

"Of course I can."

After a few minutes, the young virus was bound. Abyssal stands, her wings quivering with repressed emotion.

"Thank you," Root murmers.

"We'll figure something out," Abyssal promises, voice cracking.

With that, she leaves the cell, with the door hissing shut. She brushes her hand against the code wall, inputting more abyss-code to reinforce it.

"Fuck." Abyssal hits her head against the door. "Son of a bitch. This virus. Fuck."

Vitality sighs softly. "I have to go and check on Juliano. Can I trust you with informing SMG4's crew? I will handle telling our group.."

She swallows. "Yeah. You can count on me."

○●○

"Abyssal!" Lily gasps as she runs over to the Admin, who had appeared just in front of the castle. She smiles down at the young girl, who quickly hugs her legs.

"Hey, Lily. Good to see you're okay."

The rest of the crew pours out of the castle soon after, with the USB Trio included. Forum opens his mouth, but Abyssal clicks to them in Binary, "private space later. Important."

Domain's brows crease with worry, but he clicks back, "Are you okay?"

"Later," is her final click back before she focuses on the kids.

"How's Root?" Lily asks quickly, gripping Abyssal's robe with worry. "Is she okay?"

"She's gotta be okay.." Lil Coding mutters, anxiety weighing heavily on him. If she isn't okay, will we be okay?

"Root is doing fine," Abyssal assures them, to the relief of the crew. "Her own code is doing really well fighting off the infection."

Her smile is strained, but barely any of them seem to notice.

"Vitality is doing her best."

○●○

"She's not okay- she's not-" Abyssal chokes out mere minutes later, once the USB Trio had their chance to pull her aside and into their private space.

"Calm down." Emulator says, her voice gentle as she places a hand on Abyssal's shoulders. "Breath, Abyssal."

"What happened?" Forum gently prods.

"She's gotten worse." Abyssal sniffles, tears shining in her eyes. "And no one up in the Adminspace can agree on anything. It's getting so bad that no one is listening to anyone, and I just-"

She chokes on her own breath, shuddering.

"I had to bind Root since she's getting too dangerous. It's getting worse."

Forum pulls her into a hug at that, and she finally lets herself break.

———

Just a modern re-telling of Fairy tail following its arcs with a few twists and turns along the way💞

You can also read it here

————————————

Chapter 9

The air was filled with panic as Natsu and Lucy stumbled through the portal, hands clasped and trying to navigate through the onslaught of people around them.

Amongst the chaos Lucy could see Wendy tending to the Master, his body laid out on one of the tables, her glowing hands hovering over his abdomen as Mirajane went to call someone.

Other members were looking after the injured and unconscious mages as best as they could until Wendy could check their injuries over. Thankfully no one seemed to be severely injured.

As her adrenaline dropped Lucy started feeling dizzy, the noise surrounding her was becoming overstimulating and the room began to sway.

Chest heaving, Lucy took shallow breaths as panic kicked in and her legs gave out from underneath her.

A pair of warm arms were around her waist before she could fall. His chest pressed to her back, warming her from the inside out. The scent of pine and campfire filled her senses and subdued her anxiety.

"I gotcha, just breathe." She heard his voice in her ear as she focused on mimicking his breathing pattern. "There ya go. Relax, you're safe." He continued in a soothing voice as she relaxed into his hold.

Lucy let her head fall back on his chest and closed her eyes.

They stayed like that for a few moments. Natsu's hands around her waist, her head resting near his collarbone as she took deep breaths.

Her eyes closed as she embedded every part of how it felt to be embraced by him while trying to prepare herself for what was to come.

"Could you get Erza, Gray, and Mira? There's something I need to tell you." Lucy whispered out softly knowing he would hear her even with all the noise surrounding them.

"Sure, I can do that. Happy'll stay with you." He told her, his tone confused at her request, but compliant.

Lucy opened her eyes at the mention of their blue-furred partner and looking back at Natsu she saw the cat perched on his head, eyes wide as they both looked at her with worry.

She hadn't even realized he was there.

"Hey, Happy! Sorry for missing your big move on Charla, I was a little tied up." Lucy tried cracking a joke in the hope of lightening the mood.

"Waaa, Lushiii! Never disappear like that again!" The exceed exclaimed with a cry, tears falling down his face as he threw himself into Lucy's chest.

Smiling, she embraced the cat, rubbing his head in soothing motions. "I'm sorry for worrying you."

"Natsu was scary when we found your apartment trashed. He left me behind and I had to go to the guild on my own!" The cat complained and she kept scratching his head as she watched Natsu walk away to find Erza, Gray, and Mira.

"Oh you poor baby, how about I get you some fish later, will that make you feel better?" She asked, making the cat jump from her arms and into the air, wings fluttering.

"Ayee! Give me the fishies!" His antics brought a genuine laugh out of Lucy who watched him as he continued to go in circles and tried to decide which fish she should buy for him.

"Luce?" Natsu's voice called from behind her, and she turned she saw he had gathered everyone she asked for.

"How is the master?" Was the first thing Lucy asked, as she was not able to unsee his lifeless body in Mira's arms.

"Wendy tried her healing, but she isn't sure what happened to him and couldn't seem to do much, so she started tending to the rest of the injured members. We're waiting for Porlyusica to arrive, she will know what to do." Mira's voice cracked a bit a the end, and she cleared her throat before continuing.

"We don't know what happened to him. One second everyone was fighting and the next Master was dropped on the ground from the upper floor, unconscious." Mira answered, her tone staying neutral, but Lucy could see how worried the older girl was, and she felt her stomach drop.

All of this is her fault.

First Levy, Jet, and Droy. Now the master and countless others were injured, just because her father decided he had a daughter again.

"Natsu said you wanted to speak with us?" Erza asked her when Lucy didn't say anything else.

Turning to look at them, she took a deep breath and braced herself.

"I haven't been completely honest with you." She started, wringing her hands together as she started her story.

"The reason Phantom Lord attacked Fairy Tail, and took me hostage, was because my father hired them to bring me back home."

She stated, turning her head to the side so she wouldn't have to look at their expressions at her words. She clenched her fists to keep her emotions in check.

She will not cry, not again.

Natsu, as if sensing her emotional turmoil, moved to stand by her side. Their shoulders were not quite touching, but he was close enough for her to feel his warmth and its calming presence helped soothe her nerves.

Straightening her posture she continued.

"I ran away from home almost two years ago. It was just after my eighteenth birthday and I had been begging my father for months to let me study at an actual university after being home-schooled for all my life." She's never told anyone that she was a runaway, let alone the hows and the whys. But it was unavoidable now. He's made sure of it.

There was a gasp from Mira, and as she turned to look at them she caught Erza's soft gaze. "He called me to his office one evening, and I foolishly hoped he'd let me go." Her voice cracked at the admission, and this time Natsu moved to wrap his arm around her shoulder, bringing her back to his chest.

Lucy was thankful for the drakon's affection, his hold grounding her as she continued. "When I got there he handed me a marriage contract, my marriage contract."

This time it was everyone's turn to gasp, she felt Natsu's hold on her tighten.

"He arranged a marriage for you without consulting you?" Gray asked, outraged clear in his voice. "This isn't the 1500s'!"

A bitter laugh escaped her throat at his statement. "My father has never cared much of my opinion. Why would this be any different? He is not a kind man, my father. Maybe once upon a time while my mother was still alive, but even then his affection was mostly reserved for her. After her death.."

She trailed off, knowing now was not the time for that. "Have you guys ever heard of the Heartfilia Family?" Lucy asked them instead.

"Aren't they like ducks or something?" Natsu asked and a laugh escaped Lucy at his words.

"Duke. Duke Jude Heartfilia, and the late Duchess Layla Heartfilia. They are descendants of the royal bloodlines. In line for the throne, though they are pretty far down the line."

"Why are you telling us this?" Mira asked her.

"They have a daughter. I remember the announcement of the passing of the late Duchess, the guild was in mourning." Erza spoke suddenly, eyes looking over to Lucy.

Lucy's heart clenched at her words, knowing Master Makarov was mourning the death of a friend.

Lucy felt even worse with that knowledge.

"Yes, they do have a daughter. Lucy Heartfilia. My father decided that marrying me off to Pergrande so he could secure a safe trade route for himself was the most of use I was ever going to be to him."

She finally said it out loud, and it felt like a weight was lifted from her. After two years of running, she finally found somewhere she felt safe, and people she could trust.

"So after he went over all the details and dismissed me for the night, I decided that it was time." She shrugged her shoulders.

"I'd been pondering and planning an escape for years, but it always seemed like a fantasy. Something I would do to make myself feel better, lighter." She thought back to how scared she'd been climbing down the window that night, praying no one saw her.

"This was a situation I couldn't talk myself out of, he was very determined to make the marriage happen. So the same night I packed as much as I could carry, scaled my window, and ran until I literally passed out in the woods." She was shaking with emotion as she remembered how she ran so much her feet bled.

Her first months in the real world were humbling, and it was then that reality kicked in. There were people out there worse than even her father.

There was a moment of silence as she finished her story, she let them process everything and ask their questions.

"So you've been running this whole time?"

The first question came from Gray.

"Yes, I've moved locations ever so often since, trying to keep a low profile everywhere I go. But since I never heard word of my disappearance I thought I was scot-free." Lucy answered. "How stupid of me."

"How come no one ever recognized you?"

"After my mother's death, he rarely let me leave the house, and I was forbidden from making public appearances, of any kind." She told them, answering Mira's question.

He made sure to keep her as isolated as possible, cooped up in her castle, surrounded by staff and tutors.

Lucy moved from Natsu's hold and bowed at the waist in an expression of regret. "I want to apologize to all of you, and the guild for all of this. If I had been honest from the start, maybe none of this would've happened."

Lucy wanted them to know she felt awful about her father's actions. "I don't know why he's decided to track me down after all this time, but this was not the way he should've done it." She muttered looking down at the mark on her left hand, tracing it with her finger.

There was a gentle hand on her shoulder and Lucy looked up to see Erza's kind eyes staring back at her. "We are not responsible for the actions of others. You have done nothing wrong, Lucy. You needn't apologize." The older girl told her, giving her shoulder a comforting squeeze.

"Yeah, you did what any normal person would in your situation. Or at least what I would've done." Gray chimed in, shrugging his naked shoulders casually.

He seemed to have lost his shirt while she was talking.

"I'm just scared of what he's going to do now that Phanotm failed to bring me to him." Lucy admitted in a small voice.

"I already told ya, ya ain't goin' anywhere you don't want to. And no one here is going to make you! Dukes or Ducks or whatever the hell can piss off! You are Lucy of Fairy Tail now, and we protect our own!" Natsu threw his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his warmth once more as he spoke.

Lucy felt overwhelmed with emotion.

That seemed to be a recurring theme since discovering her magic and joining Fairy Tail.

She looked at all her friends, grateful to have them in her life.

"Everyone has their secrets, and we understand why you wouldn't want people knowing who you are." Mira told her, smiling kindly.

The tears finally escaped, and Lucy cursed inwardly, she vowed not to cry.

"Thank you for understanding. I feel so guilty about everything that's happened." She finally managed to find her words, her voice still a little shaky, but she felt better.

Like a weight had finally been lifted with her admission.

It was at that moment that an old woman, with pastel pink hair and a sour expression, entered the guild through the glowing doors with a bang.

'A portal.' Lucy thought.

"Where is that ridiculous man? What trouble has he gotten himself into this time?" She asked as she beelined to Mira and Erza.

"This way, thank you for coming. Wendy's already tried to help, but she can't seem to figure out -" Mira was talking to the woman as she led her through the guild and to the Infirmary, where the Master was relocated.

The tension was back in the air as they all watched the two women walk away, pondering over the Master's well-being.

"I'm going to go with them, see what I can find out." Erza excused herself, giving Lucy one last shoulder squeeze as she went up the stairs.

"And I'm gonna go see if Wendy can check out my back. Are you gonna be okay?" Gray asked her as he rubbed the lower part of his back.

Lucy smiled at him, shooing him off.

"Go, and make sure to remind Wendy to rest and not exhaust herself!" He saluted her and promptly left her Natsu alone.

"Do you think I could go and see Levy?" Lucy asked the pinkette, who without a word, grabbed her hand and pulled her up the stairs, and toward the guest rooms.

* ********* ********** ********** ********* *

She cried even more when she saw her friend lying beaten and unconscious in one of the guild's spare bedrooms. Natsu by her side offering her comfort.

Lucy understood where her friends were coming from saying she shouldn't blame herself for other people's actions, but staring down at the sleeping bluenette she couldn't help but feel responsible.

They left the room not long after they came, not wanting to disturb the injured girl.

The scene downstairs had seemed to calm down while they were visiting Levy. Most of the guild members were awake and back on track, with only a few occupying the Infirmary room.

They made their way to where Happy was and joined him at one of the tables. They didn't speak, just sat next to each other, waiting for someone to come back with news about Master Makarov.

There was a somber mood surrounding the whole guild, everyone worried about their Master and their Nakama.

Even Natsu was silent, sitting next to her with a rigid posture and she could feel the heat coming off of him in waves.

He turned his head suddenly, looking at the stairs, and as Lucy turned her head to follow his line of sight she saw Mira, Erza, and Porlyusica appear a second later.

All three had grave expressions on their faces and Lucy's heart sank as she braced herself for the news, darting her hand to grasp Natsu's for comfort.

"It seems that whoever attacked Master Makarov, literally stole his soul from him. We need to get it back, and quick." Erza relayed to the guild.

Mira's eyes were puffy, an indication that she's been crying. Lucy shot the older girl a small smile.

"I called Laxus and the Thunder League, They're on their way back from their job in the Lycan Woods, I don't know when they'll make it back." Mira added softly.

"I've done all I can for him, but we need to put the soul back for him to heal." The pink-haired woman proclaimed curtly as she made her way through the guild, Stopping at the door she summoned a portal. "Call me the moment you retrieve it and I'll be there." And with that, she left.

Leaving Fairy Tail in a state of shock and fear.

The Master was dying. His soul has been stolen by someone from Phantom, which means they're gonna have to go and fight them. Again.

'What kind of magic allows a person to do such a thing?' Lucy thought with a shudder, not wanting to think about what other despicable powers might be out there.

She also dreaded another encounter with Jose, especially after the way she escaped. She had a feeling he wasn't the forgive-and-forget type.

Discussions and shouts were echoing throughout the tavern as everyone debated on what their next move should be. More than half of the guild was ready to march back to Oak Town, seeking vengeance for their Master and to help save him.

While a smaller part argued that they needed an actual plan, not just to run straight into the fight.

As the mages went back and forth, some even started brawling over their differing opinions, a blast shook the building, knocking everyone to the ground in the process.

Natsu's instincts came in handy, as he gathered both Lucy and Happy in his arms and pulled them under their table.

The ground started shaking underneath them and as people got to their feet, they started rushing out of the guild to see what the hell happened.

Natsu was at the forefront, having sprinted away the moment the shaking stopped, leaving Lucy and Happy behind.

Lucy got up and followed behind everyone, her instincts telling her nothing good would come from this.

When she exited the tavern Lucy looked up to see the highest point of the guild was hit, their flag disintegrated by the blast and some of the debris was falling from the roof. Rushing after everyone she neared the back of the building where the crowd was gathering.

That's when Lucy saw the Phantom Lord's castle walking towards them. Walking. With spider-like legs protruding from the sides as it stalked through the forest and straight for Fairy Tail.

"What just happened was a warning shot, courtesy of my lovely Jupiter Cannon. You have fifteen minutes before it recharges to hand over Lucy Heartfilia or the next shot will blow you, and your precious guild away!"Jose's voice boomed through the speakers as the building stopped some distance from the crowd of Fairy Tail mages.

Lucy felt her heart drop at his words.

She looked around at everyone, they looked confused at his request but determined to fight, not even sparring a thought to giving her over.

And that's what set her resolve. No one else was getting hurt because of her. Head held high Lucy made her way to the front of the crowd, stopping as she started down the Cannon, which seemed to be counting down from fifteen.

"I am complying with your demands. Stop the Cannon and I will go with you." Lucy shouted at the structure, desperately trying not to shake with fear.

There was a hand on her shoulder, and suddenly she was being pulled back and Natsu was in front of her, she could feel the anger radiating off of him as he glared at the building. Erza, Mira, Gray even Elfman appeared next to her.

"You want Lucy, you're gonna have to go through us! And we're not letting her go!" Natsu yelled, and the whole guild cheered at his words.

Lucy felt her tears return as she watched her guildmates yell in agreement with Natsu. She couldn't believe the whole guild would fight for her. She didn't know how to feel, overwhelmed with emotions as the tears fell down her cheeks.

There was a cackle from the speakers and the Phantom Lord master taunted them. "I will take great pleasure in taking down your pathetic little fairies!" And with that, countless ghoulish apparitions flew from the building and started attacking them.

"We need to disable the Cannon, it's the only way. Come on, everyone else can handle themselves, we need to go."

Erza ordered the three men as she started sprinting towards the Castle.

Gray and Elfman followed without hesitation, running right behind her.

Lucy saw Mirajane next to her transform into a devil-like creature and viciously start fighting the ghouls.

Natsu hesitated as he looked at her, worry clear in his eyes. "Go, I'll be fine! They need you more than me, I apparently have a whole army looking out for me." Lucy told him as she gestured to the guild fighting off the apparitions around them.

Natsu's brows furrowed at her words and he narrowed his eyes at her, She's only seen that appraising look on his face when he was facing down an enemy, and Lucy found herself blushing in the middle of the battlefield at the intensity in his eyes.

"I need you to be safe, okay?" He told her tone deadly serious, his eyes never leaving hers.

Lucy gulped as she stared back at him. She had a plan. It was stupid but she had a plan and she couldn't promise him that. He will forgive her, she's sure of it.

So instead of answering, Lucy drew him in for a hug, using his surprise to sneak her keys into his pocket.

Either way, they'll be safer with him.

He hugged her back tightly and then turned to dash after Erza and the guys. Calling for Happy as he ran.

"Aye Sir!" The cat flew over her head, ruffling her hair as he did so, catching up to Natsu, he picked the fire drakon up and they sped off to stop the Cannon.

Lucy watched them as they disappeared, hoping they'd destroy it in time.

Though it was Natsu, Gray, and Erza. They had a knack for destroying things, she thought with a small smile. She had faith in them, they would succeed and come out on top. There was no other choice.

A ghoul suddenly charged toward Lucy, and having no time to take out her whip it almost got her, if not for a flash of light aimed at the creature that killed it.

Lucy turned to see Cana, cards in hand as she threw them at several targets at once.

"You need to get out of here and hide, we'll take care of the rest!" The brunette shouted at her.

"I am not going to hide from this! I will fight-" her sentence was cut short as someone hit her in the back of the head making her pass out.

* ********* ********** ********** ********* *

Waking up with a mild headache, Lucy looked around to see she was in a car, on her way out of Magnolia. She looked at the driver's seat to see Reedus speeding down the road.

"What are you doing? We need to go back and help them!" Lucy shouted as she climbed from the backseat to the passenger's.

"I had clear orders from Mira, get you out of the city, I don't want to be on the she-devil's bad side." The curly-haired man replied, shudder at the thought of Mira going after him.

"I can't let everyone else fight this battle for me! I have to at least fight beside them, please Reedus, you have to understand." Lucy pleaded with the man.

He looked at her from the corner of his eye and let out a sigh. Stopping the car on the side of the empty road, he turned to face her.

They were almost at the edge of the city, and given it's a Sunday afternoon, there thankfully weren't any people around.

"We need to keep you safe, the guild can take care of themselves. Someone will call us when it's over, it's safer this way I promise." He told her with a soft smile.

Lucy was about to protest again, or even book it out of the car to try and run back to the fight. But before she could do either a steel rod broke through the windshield, knocking Reedus out cold and making Lucy scream out in shock.

A tall, dark-haired man appeared on the other end of the rod, it seemed to be an extension of his arm. He was grinning at her, a wild look in his red eyes.

The steel retracted back and turned back into a normal arm. 'What the hell was this guy?' Lucy thought to herself as she struggled to unbuckle her seatbelt.

"Gihi, what do we have here? A little fairy thought she could run away?" The man taunted her as he neared the car.

Finally managing to unclasp the buckle, Lucy opened the car door and broke into a run. She hoped Reedus would forgive her for abandoning him, as she didn't have a better choice at the moment. There were no other cars around and Lucy decided to book it through the forest by the side of the road.

The dark-haired man's laugh was sinister as he followed after her.

"You can't outrun me, Princess!" His voice was getting closer as she stumbled her way through the trees, like a lamb running from the wolf. "Unfortunately for you, Jose wants his prize. So I have no choice." There was a shadow over her as he appeared behind her, Lucy didn't have any time to process his words before she was knocked out.

Again.

* ********* ********** ********** ********* *

"10 minutes to detonation of the Jupiter Cannon." An animatronic voice echoed through the halls.

"Fuck!"

Natsu was beyond frustrated at this point. This was the third dead end since he entered this ridiculous building.

"Where is that stupid Lacrima?" Natsu mumbled under his breath as he continued to wander the halls.

Happy was perched up on his head, keeping quiet as he didn't want to further irritate the fire drakon. Erza had ordered Gray, Elfman, and Natsu to find the Lacrima and destroy it before the Cannon could charge, but this whole place is like a maze, how is anyone supposed to find their way?

He suddenly caught the scent of fire and followed that. He could use a good meal at least, he's been walking around forever.

As he stepped into the room where the smell was coming from, Natsu spotted the Lacrima Crystal that charged the Cannon.

"Gotcha!" He smirked and lit his fists on fire.

As he went to charge and destroy the power source, his fists moved upward on their own accord and Natsu punched himself in the face, knocking Happy off his head in the process.

"You okay little buddy?" He asked, looking over to the cat as he caught himself on the wall.

"Aye! But what was that Natsu?" The exceed asked.

"I am Totomaru, one of the element four! And no fire can defeat me!" A voice boomed, and a young man with black and white hair, and a tattoo going over his nose and cheeks appeared from behind the Lacrima.

"I don't have time to deal with you!" Natsu told the strange man, ignoring his words as he charged at him, fists aflame.

Only to be decked in the face by his own hand once more. "The hell?" He yelled annoyed.

"I told you, no fire can touch me! I am the master of all fire!" The man exclaimed and threw a blast of fire towards Natsu, who in turn slurped up the flames.

"Ugh, yuck. You call this crap fire? It tastes awful. At least I have a fire in my belly." Natsu grimaced at the taste of the fire, rubbing his stomach. His opponent in turn was staring at him, mouth agape.

"You just, you just ate my fire?!" He yelled in shock, pointing an accusatory finger at Natsu.

"Well duh, what else was I supposed to do?" With a shrug of his shoulders, Natsu took a deep breath and prepared for his next attack.

"Fire Dragon, Roar!" He sent an inferno at the opposing mage.

The other man flicked his hand, directing the fire around him and smiling back at Natsu.

"Are you slow? I told you already that fire doesn't work on me!" He taunted back.

With a frustrated growl, Natsu lit his fist and went to attack. No one controlled his fire but him. With a determined cry, he went to hit the split-haired freak but his fire was redirected once more and Natsu was blown back by his own flames.

"5 minutes to detonation of the Jupiter Cannon." An automated voice rang through the room, making Natsu remember his initial objective, he needed to destroy the Lacrima.

"How many times are you gonna try the same trick? It's not going to work." The man stated, sounding bored.

"Natsu you need to knock down the Lacrima or the guild's gonna be destroyed!" Happy yelled from somewhere behind him.

"I know, I know!" Natsu huffed in response, he looked back at the annoying fire mage appraisingly.

"Fine. If I can't beat you using my flames, I'm just gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way." Cracking his knuckles, Natsu went to attack again, this time sans fire.

"What you think you're just gonna-" His fist interrupted the rest of Totomaru's sentence as he sent the man flying back and into a wall.

"You got lucky with that one. Let me show you what a member of the element five can do!" The man boasted and started accumulating his magic, focusing it on one point before sending an inferno at Natsu.

Slurping the fire, he noted that this one wasn't as foul-tasting as the last. "Thank you for the meal, and you called me slow. It looks like fire doesn't work on either of us."

Natsu smiled at the man as he approached him. "What are you gonna do now?"

The man started back at him, eyes wide in disbelief and he could smell the fear on him, with a smirk, Natsu threw his head back and head-butted the two-toned man, knocking him out flat.

"He was seriously getting on my nerves." Natsu grumbled as he moved back to finally strike the Lacrima, throwing a fireball that shattered the crystal into pieces.

"You did it Natsu!" Happy yelled out as he flew over his head.

"2 minutes to detonation of the Jupiter Cannon." The voice echoed once more.

"I destroyed it! How is the thing still charging?" Natsu asked in confusion.

Just then, he felt a twinge of a headache and heard Warren's voice in his head.

"Natsu? Can you hear me? I just got word from the others. There seem to be 5 Lacrimas that are powering the Cannon. Elfaman destroyed one, as well as Gray and Erza. There are two left." The telepath relayed to Natsu, who cursed inwardly.

"There is one Cannon left. Do you know where it is? I lost time in this maze of a castle trying to find the first one!" He thought back to the man.

"I can sense you in the east wing. The last remaining Crystal is located on the west wing. Elfman managed to take down Sol, of the element five, and Gray is currently fighting the water woman of Phantom. There are two members of the element five left, and one of them is the mage that stole the Master's soul, so be careful and get to the Lacrima, quickly!"

Warren told him, and Natsu sprinted out of the room before he could even finish relaying all the information, Happy flying behind him as they raced toward the last Crystal.

"What about Erza? Where is she?" Natsu asked, dread filling his stomach.

"She's joined the battle out front." There was a pause, and somehow Natsu could feel his hesitance.

"Natsu, she plans on taking the hit if you don't make it on time." With those words, the connection between them was cut, and Natsu ran even faster as he tried not to think of Erza and her stupid sacrificial tendencies.

* ********* ********** ********** ********* *

Lucy was tired of waking up groggy and not knowing where she was. How many times is this now? She wondered if all mages got kidnapped and knocked out as much as she looked around.

She was not in a car this time or a cell, she was lying on the ground in what seemed to be some kind of throne room.

'Of course, Jose would have a throne.' Lucy thought with disdain as she got up on her feet.

"You're awake just in time for the festivities." She heard his voice coming from the other end of the room.

Turning she saw Jose, and the black-haired man who grabbed her enter the room.

Jose went straight for his seat on the throne perched in the middle of the room, while his gorilla went to stand by his side.

"I was very disappointed in you, Lucy, and the way you behaved after my most generous offer." The auburn-haired man tutted at her. "It will not go unpunished, but first I want you to witness the fall of Fairy Tail." He started laughing as he gestured to the man by his feet.

The younger man moved to open one of the curtains and Lucy saw the guild fighting those ghoulish things. "10 seconds to detonation of the Jupiter Cannon." A voice echoed throughout the building, making Lucy's heart drop.

'They didn't make it in time.'

Jose was laughing like a maniac as the voice continued counting down.

"Nine, eight, seven, six" Lucy was transfixed on the fight below her, watching her fellow guild mates scatter around in panic as the voice counted down. "Five, four, three"

She saw a flash of scarlet, and Erza appeared in an armor Lucy had never seen before. It was heavy-duty, with a giant shield.

She wasn't actually going to try and take the blow?

"Two, one. Firing Jupiter Cannon."

"No! No, Erza!" Lucy screamed as the Cannon fired directly at where the scarlet-haired woman was standing, shield in place as she channeled magic towards it, a determined look in her eyes as she braced herself for impact.
