Hey I just found you recently and I fell in love with way you write!! I wanted ask for something with Sebastian.

I just want romantic idiots in love kind of stuff. Thank you!!

The Northcott System

{Sebastian Sallow x GN!Reader}

Introduction: Garreth Weasley has asked the infamous Eric Northcott for dating advice. In order to seem more desirable to you, he needs to play mind games. So instead of asking you to the ball, he asks Nellie Oggspire. This is where he pulls in Sebastian Sallow for help with his plan. Garreth knows he doesn’t have feelings for you, so it would be harmless for him to take you to the ball, right? Unfortunately, shoving you and Sebastian together in this way backfires. And Sebastian becomes just as head over heels for you as Garreth is.

Word Count: ~ 5,700 words

Warnings: Kissing, Some Underage Drinking

Author’s Note: Man... I am ALL FOR YULE BALL ONESHOTS! Lol ramielll, I can’t thank you enough for the request.❤ Romantic high school idiots in love kind of stuff is my shit! I think it's so much fun to write. It’s so awkward and lovey dovey, I adore it. I feel so bad making Garreth the sucker in these Sebastian stories but he fits too well 😭 I need to make more Garreth stories to make up for it, he doesn’t deserve this. Fun fact, Eric Northcott’s advice in this came from my father-in-law. My husband is very lucky he didn’t pull that shit or I would have been long gone lmfaooo (The title is in reference to Sunny in Philadelphia’s D.E.N.N.I.S. System, you’re a real one if you caught it 😉.)

“Eric Northcott says the best way to get someone obsessed with you is to treat them like royalty, then ignore them for a few weeks.” Garreth Weasley told his group of friends in the hall.

“You took dating advice from Eric Northcott?” Ominis asked in disbelief. 

“Of course I did.” Garreth responded proudly, as if he were the smartest person in the world to have done so. 

“Why on earth would you do that?”

“Don’t even pretend you haven’t heard about all the dates he’s pulled, Ominis.”

“Oh I’ve heard. Doesn’t sound like he’s been able to keep any of them though.”

“He’s a free man, Ominis. He just doesn’t want to be held down.”

Sebastian was half paying attention to the conversation around him. He knew it was related to the upcoming ball, but that’s all. He was looking over his notes on the recent restricted section find of his. It was too big and bulky of a book to carry around everywhere he went, so he had jotted down all he could to read over throughout the day.

“But this is why I need you, Sebastian.”

“Hmm?” Sebastian glanced up at Garreth.

“I know you haven’t spoken much, maybe not even at all for all I know. But I need you to take the new fifth year to the ball.”

Sebastian raised a questioning brow at him. “Why?”

It took way too much effort for Sebastian to try and follow Garreth’s plan. Garreth was going to take Nellie Oggspire to the ball, so he wanted Sebastian to take you to ensure no one with ulterior motives did. According to dating expert, Eric Northcott, you would be riddled with jealousy seeing Garreth with someone else. Then the day after the ball, he’d go up to you and confess his feelings. After seeing how he had other options, he’d be all the more desirable and you’d be over the moon to be chosen by him.

Sebastian felt like the plan was missing a few steps, or maybe had too many wrong ones to begin with. “Wouldn’t it make more sense to - oh, I don’t know - just go with the person you like to begin with?” He tried not to sound smart, but of course he sounded smart.

“It’s genius, Sebastian. You just don’t get it.”

“Evidently not.” He exhaled, looking back to his notes. But, now that he thought about it, he did need a date. He’d had tunnel vision on research for Anne’s curse, the ball had snuck up on him. There wasn’t anyone else who had popped up in his head to ask either. He had been a bit too preoccupied for anyone to catch his eye in that way.

He thought back to every interaction he’d had with you, which wasn’t many. You had held your own against him well enough while dueling in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but he couldn’t know for sure how good you were. He had held back greatly considering you had just learned levioso and you were using a second hand wand. The only other time he could remember was when you two were partnered in potions class. There wasn’t a whole lot of getting to know each other then either. Still being so new to the magic world, you asked him endless questions about that day’s brew. He thought it a fine quality for someone to have, eager to learn rather than quick to dismiss what you didn’t understand. You were pretty easy on the eyes too.

Sebastian rubbed at his brows with his thumb and forefinger. “Alright, Weasley. I don’t get this plan but I’ll do it. Now if you’ll excuse me,” Sebastian closed up his notes. “I’m off to get a date to the ball apparently.”

-

How could I be so stupid to think Garreth liked me in that way? You inwardly chided yourself. The sting of finding out he had asked Nellie Oggspire to the ball still hadn’t dissipated. The way he had treated you so kindly lately had you certain he was going to ask you to the ball. But not only did he ask someone else, he had noticeably distanced himself from you out of nowhere. You weren’t sure what you did that seemed to upset him, but you didn’t have the time to chase after him and find out. You were already behind enough as it was, maybe the space between you two would help you catch up and get focused.

You hummed a song as you tended to the carnivorous plants in the greenhouse. You usually would have the energy to at least lightly sing some of the words for them, knowing they enjoyed music. But today, you didn’t have the gusto.

The greenhouse door opening and shutting pulled your attention and your humming ceased. You peeked over your shoulder. “Hello, Sebastian. How are you?” 

“I’m well, thank you.” He answered as he made his way over, becoming suddenly nervous. He realized he didn’t have a plan on what to say as soon as he was alone with you.

Just as you were about to bring your focus back to the plants, you remembered you had wanted to speak with him. “Oh! I’m glad you’re here, I've been thinking about you recently.”

He stopped in his tracks and a blush crept up his neck. You’ve been thinking of me?  “Oh?” Was all he could get himself to say.

“Yes.” You nodded enthusiastically, setting down your gardening tools and walking up to him. You brought yourself close and it put him on edge a bit. Keeping your voice low, you asked, “Do you think you could help me get into the uh -” You glanced at the door making sure it was closed all the way, “restricted section sometime soon?”

“Huh.” He didn’t know what he expected you to say to him, but it certainly wasn’t that. He was taken aback by your request, but, even more so, he was intrigued. A smirk tugged at his lips. “Seems I’ve got a reputation if even you’ve heard about my excursions. Whatever for, may I ask?”

“A book on ancient magic, that’s all I know unfortunately. Have you come across any such thing? Do you know where it would be down there?”

Now you had really piqued his interest. He had been trying to look into ancient magic himself lately for Anne. “Hmm. I’ve come across some passages here and there. But I don’t recall seeing any books solely on ancient magic.”

“Ah.” You said, disappointed.

“But another trip to look wouldn’t hurt.” He said quickly. “No matter how much Madam Scribner disagrees. I can get you down there this weekend.”

Your eyes lit up. “Will you? Oh thank you, Sebastian. You have no idea how much you’d be helping me out, you’d be my hero for this.”

He rubbed at the back of his neck, getting a little bashful at the thought of being ‘your hero’, even just a small one that helped you find a book. “Don’t mention it.”

“No seriously, thank you. I’m sorry I have to drag you into helping me at all.” You exhaled, frustrated. “I mean what even is the point of a restricted section? You’d think a proper magical education would include all magic, none of this some are fine, some are off limits nonsense.”

His eyes widened a bit, words seeming to evade him. Seems a kindred spirit may have been closer than he realized.

“Look at me rambling on, now I’m just venting.” You shook your head. “I distracted you from what you needed to do in here, I apologize. I’ll let you get to it.” You went to return to the plants but Sebastian grabbed at your wrist to stop you.

“I came here to find you actually.” You faced him again and he cleared his throat, releasing you. “Garreth told me you’d be in here.”

You tried not to look bitter at the mention of Garreth. “What can I do for you?”

How does one go about asking another to a ball? Especially when it wasn’t his idea. He at least knew it wouldn't be very endearing to mention that part. Maybe he didn’t need to overcomplicate it. Just get the basic idea out, then embellish if asked anything further. “The upcoming ball. Would you like to go with me?”

The surprise was clear as day on your face, but it was a pleasant surprise, Sebastian was relieved to note. Was he holding his breath? 

Sebastian Sallow was asking you to the ball? You weren’t against the idea, not at all. Sebastian Sallow of all people, who would have thought? The two of you had never really spoken, to be honest you didn’t think he knew your name. 

“Y - Yes, I would actually.” You smiled at him, looking genuinely glad he asked you.

He huffed out a breathy laugh and began to feel giddy. Calm down, Sallow. It’s not like this is someone you’ve been pining for. He tried to inwardly deflate himself. This was the first real conversation he’d had with you, how could he possibly feel so elated to you saying ‘yes’ to him? Just happy to have a date to the ball, that must be it.

“That’s -” He cleared his throat, regaining his composure. “That’s all I needed, I suppose. So, I’ll be off.” He said, staying in place and shifting on his feet. He didn’t want to leave the greenhouse, he realized. “See you this weekend?”

You nodded your head, a smile still gracing your lips. “You will.” 

Sebastian returned your smile, then went to leave. When he opened the door, he took one last glance at you before he stepped out. His stomach jumped seeing you still looking at him, a little thrilled you were staring after him. He wanted to say something more, but couldn’t think of anything quick enough. He gave a small bow of his head in goodbye, then left the greenhouse.

Was it supposed to be this thrilling when a boy you barely spoke to asked you to a ball?

-

Sebastian rubbed at his jaw as he made his way out of the herbology wing, his face was starting to hurt from grinning so hard. He was thinking he should write down a list of all the books he’d come across that mentioned ancient magic for you. Just in case you were interested. 

He was so deep in thought he hadn’t noticed Garreth watch him leave the greenhouse and walk up behind him.

“How did it go? Is the plan on?” Garreth asked, breaking Sebastian from his thoughts.

Oh right, the plan. Sebastian thought it was more idiotic by the second, but it got him a date with someone he hadn’t realized he had some things in common with, so it couldn’t be that bad. He stopped walking and faced Garreth, glancing over the red head’s shoulder to make sure you weren’t coming out of the greenhouse. “Sure, it’s on. What now?”

“Brilliant.” Garreth was ecstatic. “Now all I have to do is keep my distance until the ball’s over.”

Sebastian seemed to like the sound of that. “Uh - right. Good thinking. Well, best be off.” Sebastian turned to make his way to his dorm, keen on getting that book list started for you.

“You’re a real one for this, Seb!” Garreth called after him. 

Without looking back, Sebastian gave him a thumbs up.

-

Would he look overeager having brought the list of books and this enchanted bag? Merlin, he hoped not. He was already waiting for you outside the library, a little too late to have that regret.

He pushed up off the wall he was leaning against when he saw you approach. “You’re here.” He said, as if he were a little shocked you were actually going through with this.

“Don’t look so surprised.” You spoke in a hushed tone and smirked. “What’s that you’ve got there?” You asked, looking down at the bag and parchment in his hands.

“Oh, it’s - I was thinking - In case you wanted to take any more books that mention ancient magic while we’re down there, you could put them in here. It’s an enchanted bag that can fit just about anything.”

Your eyes widened, it was very thoughtful of him to go out of his way for you like that. “You’re joking. You didn’t have to do this.” You went up and took the items from him, looking over the list and taking a peek inside the bag.

You were right. He didn’t have to. But for whatever reason, he really wanted to. Why did I want to? 

“I usually bring one anyway. It was no trouble.” The first part was a lie. “Now, do you know the disillusionment spell?”

-

It was way too late in the night when Sebastian returned to his dorm room. But he wasn’t tired, not at all, not after what you and him had just gone through to get that book. 

After kicking off his shoes and shrugging off his robes, he slid into bed easily. He folded his arms behind his head and looked up at the ceiling, already nostalgic for the night he just had with you.

You were… Wow, you were something. Sneaking into the restricted section with you was already riveting. Going through all the books on that list he made and glancing over them together had stirred him. You two stood close while he pointed out the relevant passages he had found, and you listened attentively, as if it were the most fascinating thing in the world. But when you two had found that ancient magic vault, he was done for. What an adventure that was! 

He had so many emotions about it all. Discovering that ancient magic still existed had him ecstatic, he knew there were untouched areas of magic to explore further for Anne. And watching you wield it as if you had done so your whole life had him overwhelmed with hope, hope he was sure his uncle was nearly successful in getting rid of. And to top it off, exploring that vault and fighting giant guardian statues alongside you was… Wow! It was the first time he’d felt so alive since Anne got cursed.

How could someone like you have been under his nose this whole time? He thought back to when you were partnered in potions class, had he really been so blind even then? He couldn’t be wasting any more time. He only had a few weeks until the ball and Garreth would be pulling all the stops to make you his.

-

Sebastian sneaked glances at you during breakfast. You seemed to be busy finishing up some last minute homework, every now and then taking a bite of your toast. Had you always made simple acts look this endearing? Even the face you made while you fixated on your homework had his insides warming like a first year with a crush.

Your gaze lifted from your writing to look around the dining hall in thought. Your eyes landed on him, and he immediately wanted to die, embarrassed he got caught staring. But then you smiled at him, and he didn’t want to die anymore. He smiled back and you went back to your homework.

Gathering your belongings, you got up from your seat and made your way over to him. He got antsy as he watched you approach, but he was able to keep an air of calm. 

“Sebastian, could I steal you for a moment?” You asked in a hushed tone.

“Of course.” Stop sounding so eager, you buffoon. He got up and followed you until you were just out of hearing distance from everyone else.

“I got a lead on where the book’s missing pages are. And I um - Well, I -”

Sebastian eyed you as you started shuffling your feet. Are you nervous? 

“I was wondering - you know, since we worked so well together getting the book - if you’d like to come with me to get them? No need to feel like you have to! I just thought -”

“Absolutely, I’m coming with you.” He found himself saying.

An ecstatic look formed on your features, but you tried to bite it back. “Great, I’ll meet you after dinner tonight.”

Sebastian gave you a nod, trying to hold back an enthusiasm of his own. 

You held your books closer to you as you started to take your leave, but you stopped suddenly, remembering something. “Oh, Sebastian. Before I forget.” You had his full attention again as you dug around in your robes pocket. “Ah, here it is.” You held out a shrivelfig to him, giving him a look of go on, take it.

He took it gingerly from your hand and looked at you, bewildered.

“You mentioned you spent the last of your money on a shrivelfig to try out for Anne, but your uncle destroyed it.” 

Sebastian lifted his brows, amazed you had remembered such a thing. “Thank you.” He said, meaning it more than you knew.

“It’s the least I can do for all your help.” You waved him off. “I’ve been growing some anyway, and I’ve got more on the way if you ever need.” You were getting jumpier by the second and knew you had to get out of there before you made an idiot of yourself. “See you tonight.”

He was about to speak but you rushed off before he could get anything out. He looked down at the shrivelfig and turned it in his hand. You’d only been speaking a few days, and he already had it bad for you.

-

All too soon, it was the night of the ball, the last night he’d have with you before Garreth’s plan came to an end and he’d try to make you his. He wanted to enjoy it. He wondered if he should confront Weasley, but what would the point be if you didn’t have feelings for him any way? You and Garreth had been close for a majority of the year, while you and Sebastian only had these last few weeks together… these wondrous, extraordinary, marvelous few weeks.

He leaned up against the wall with his hands in his pockets as he waited. Nellie Oggspire had just walked down the steps and linked arms with Garreth. The red head gave him a knowing nod of his head as he passed, and Sebastian nodded back, trying not to tip him off that anything was amiss.

He glanced back up at the stairs to see if the person who just arrived was you. He saw it wasn’t and looked back down. Wait, yes it is! He shot up off the wall and stood up straight. He hardly recognized you, you cleaned up so wonderfully. He found you plenty attractive in your day-to-day getups already, yet you still managed to bring yourself up another level? Your smile at him as you walked down the steps was a spell in its own right. That’s not fair. He wanted to whine.

He met you at the bottom of the stairs, holding out his hand for you to take as you walked down the last few steps. He kept his eyes on yours as he kissed your knuckles. The feel of his lips on your skin had you weak, thankfully he held out his arm for you to take. Hopefully he wouldn’t mind if you leaned on him a bit.

The two of you looked out to the great hall, admiring how everything had been redone for the ball. Sebastian caught sight of Garreth gawking at you like he was in pain. Pushing Garreth to the back of his mind, he glanced back at you and was relieved you didn’t seem to notice the green eyed boy.

He cleared his throat, trying to forget Weasley existed. “Would you like to dance?”

“Yes, please.” You smiled sweetly. Dancing was the best next step. Your nerves were wild within you holding onto Sebastian like this, no way you would have been able to keep still.

He guided you to the dance floor and twirled you before bringing you into the proper waltz stance, just as you hoped he would. You looked up at him, holding each other a bit closer than what was probably appropriate for a school dance, and wondered how you two could possibly be so in sync after only a few weeks of getting to know each other. 

You had never thought yourself to be a great dancer. But somehow, with Sebastian in the lead, you felt as if you had suddenly become an expert. It must have been all the dueling the two of you had done together, that was practically a dance in and of itself. Being constantly aware of where the other was at all times, covering each other’s blind spots, not allowing one misstep to let the other get a scratch on them.

Neither of you had any idea how many songs you danced through. If you had the stamina, you two remained on the dance floor. Sebastian couldn’t recall ever liking dancing this much, couldn’t recall ever liking it in the slightest. But you seemed to bring it out of him, he wasn’t complaining. 

It wasn’t until Sebastian started to overheat in his coat that he realized how long the two of you had been going. “I don’t want to stop but I need to take this off.” He huffed with a laugh, slowing the two of you down to a stop. He hated that he had to throw off the momentum at all.

“It’s alright.” You panted. “I need to run to the washroom anyway. Grab us some drinks for when I’m back!” You called to him as you sped off, wanting to return as soon as possible. 

Garreth caught Sebastian’s dreamy stare as he watched you walk off. He excused himself from Nellie to get drinks at the same time as him. 

Sebastian didn’t seem to notice Garreth approach, too caught up in getting a glass for you and him, a pleased smile on his face. Garreth cleared his throat to grab his attention and Sebastian’s gaze shot up, his smile faltering. “Evening.” Garreth said, eyeing him.

“Evening.” Sebastian replied innocently, hoping that was the end of it. With drinks in hand, he went and found the table with your names on it. Garreth, forgetting drinks for him and Nellie, followed close in pursuit. Once he set down your glasses, Sebastian shrugged off his jacket then placed it on the back of the chair. All the while, wishing Garreth would take a hint and sod off.

“Look Sallow. I’m grateful you’re helping me out, but could you tone it down a bit? You two uh… really seem to be enjoying yourselves.” He glanced at the entrance to make sure you weren’t coming back yet, then turned back to Sebastian. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were trying to make a move.” Garreth chuckled amicably, but Sebastian could still hear the warning in it.

“Garreth, relax. It's all a part of the plan.” He’d say anything to keep Garreth away from you that night. “Don’t wuss out now and ruin all your progress. Now off you go, back to Nellie, distance makes the heart grow fonder and such.” He shooed.

Garreth gave him one last uneasy glance, then went on his way. 

Sebastian sat himself down while he waited for you. Catching his breath and trying to recover so he’d be ready to dance again when you returned. He looked up towards the entrance and locked eyes with you as you made your way back. You smiled at each other, both thankful there was still plenty of the night left to go. 

Ominis put his hand on Sebastian’s shoulder, giving a quick whistle to grab his attention. Sebastian glanced up then down at the flask he was expertly sneaking to him. 

“Ominis, you bad bad boy.” Sebastian laughed. Looking back at you, he smoothly took it from him. He hid it in his lap as you arrived and slid into the seat next to him. He realized then, he wouldn’t have any if you didn’t.

“You better give me some of that.” 

He also realized he’d gladly share. Sebastian was slightly aroused at seeing this misbehaving side of yours, how sly you were when holding your glass under the table for him to pour some of the flask in. He then swiftly poured some into his glass under the table as well, then put the cap back on to give back to Ominis.

“If anyone suspects anything, you and I had a fight and didn’t speak to each other at all tonight.” Ominis slid the flask back into his coat and left to join Isaac Cooper’s side.

“Bet I can get it down smoother than you can.” You teased, holding up your glass to cheers with his.

“Can you now?” Sebastian brought up his glass, clinking it with yours. You linked your arm with his and then brought the glass to your lips. He did the same, and you two chugged, keeping your eyes locked. 

The both of you handled it about the same, faces only contorting marginally at the dreadful taste. It wasn’t much, but downing it as you both had could get you a slight buzz.

“Do this often, do you?” You and Sebastian released each other, setting down your glasses and standing.

“I had a life before Hogwarts, believe it or not.” You chuckled as he grabbed your hand and pulled you back out towards the dance floor.

The musicians shifted the tone from elegant waltzing music to exhilarant jig music, a vocalist joining in to sing some well known shanties. You and Sebastian joined in the crowd of students, singing and swaying along. 

With the buzz still warm on your cheeks as you stood side by side in the crowd, he threw an arm around you. You gladly wrapped an arm around him as well, reaching your other hand up to hold onto his on your shoulder. This was one of the greatest nights of his life.

-

Both you and Sebastian were exhausted. Try as you might, you couldn’t stay any longer. You were both worn thin, your night had been incredible.

“Ow.” You whined groggily, resting a hand on the nearest wall.

“What’s wrong?” Sebastian shrugged on his coat then put a hand on your shoulder, looking you up and down in concern.

“My shoes are brand new and I didn’t break them in before tonight. My feet are killing me.” You laughed.

A smirk formed on his face as an idea popped in his head. He moved in front of you and bent his knees slightly. He gestured with his head towards his back. “Up you go.” He said.

Your eyes widened slightly as you stared at him, amused. Then, without another word, you hopped on his back, wrapping your arms and legs around him.

“Where to?” He asked as he gripped your thighs and walked on easily.

Holding on tight, you remembered you had a few magical beasts to feed and brush before bed.

-

As Sebastian carried you to the room of requirement, he was feeling bubble headed in the best way. He hitched you up higher, more out of his bustling nerves than feeling like he didn’t have a good enough hold on you. You rested your cheek against the side of his head, and he didn’t care if you could feel his cheeky grin about it or not.

The two of you arrived all too soon even though you took the long way, avoiding taking any floos. Sebastian was beyond disappointed the door didn’t show up, he was hoping this time would be different when you said it never showed up when someone else was with you. He may not have known exactly what the two of you would do in there, but you would be alone, with no chance of anyone else bothering you. A big part of it would have been validation he wasn’t just anyone you’d brought around. He wanted to be someone special, the only one the room felt worthy to let in with you. 

“I suppose this is where I leave you.” He began sheepishly, letting you down gently from his back. You looked delightedly at one another and he ran an anxious hand through his hair. “I had a really great time tonight.”

Your insides went into a tizzy. “Me too.” You beamed at him. You didn’t want to end this night or part ways with him. “So I uh - I know it’s late, are you sure you still want to help me tomorrow morning? I understand if you’d rather sleep in.” You didn’t doubt he would come with you the next day, you just wanted to hear him tell you he wouldn’t miss it.

“Of course I’m sure. I’ll be there.” He unknowingly took a step towards you, the two of you drifting closer without thinking.

You bit your lip to stop yourself from smiling like a dope. “Good. I’m glad to hear it.”

You two stood in coy silence for a moment, wanting the other to say something, anything to keep your night going a bit longer. “Well, I should get going so the room can appear for you, shouldn’t I?” He chuckled awkwardly, still not making any sort of move to take his leave.

“Ah, right.” You nodded your head, glancing briefly at the wall then looking back at him. You went in to hug him goodbye and he didn’t hesitate to hug you back. You held each other firmly in each other’s arms for a few seconds, then let go, smiles still painfully plastered on your faces. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” You told him.

“Bright and early.” He assured.

“Bright and early.” You repeated, no longer caring if you looked like a flushing mess. “Goodnight.” 

“Goodnight.” 

The two of you looked at each other for another moment, staying in place and becoming jumpy. You both went in for another hug, holding each other closer and longer this time, letting each other’s warmth envelope you. He took in your scent as you nuzzled your face against his neck.

“Goodnight.” He said again in a whisper.

You released each other, your faces temptingly close for a brief moment until you stepped back. He remained facing you as he started taking small, reluctant steps backwards to leave.

He watched as the smile faded from your face and you eyed him as if you were dispirited he was leaving. He stopped in his tracks, and a starved look took over your features. He was sure his face was doing the exact same thing.

You launched at one another, fusing your lips together. It was such a dizzying collision, the two of you weren’t really aware of where your hands were. The only thing that was clear was that they were on each other, holding the other close while roaming all over. Somehow, Sebastian had gotten you pressed up against the wall. He needed help keeping upright while his mouth moved in earnest, gasping and sighing along with yours. 

Sebastian Sallow’s weight against you was something you never knew you needed. You bit at his bottom lip and sucked, hoping that would keep him anchored to you. A deep, muffled “mmh” noise escaped him and it was the most intoxicating sound.

He pulled back slightly to look at you then, eyes going over your features as he caught his breath. He couldn’t help but drag his fingers lightly down your cheek as you looked back at him, just as breathless.

He returned his lips to yours, taking it sweet and slow then. This time, he didn’t want to be dizzy, he wanted to be sturdy and in his right mind tasting you. Your hands felt so soft as they cupped his neck. A tingling sensation went down his spine when they slowly slid up to the back of his head, fingers running through his hair.

You were so lost in one another, that if anyone were to walk by you’d have no idea, no sense to pull away anyway.

-

Sebastian walked down to the Slytherin common room in a whimsical haze, humming each one of the songs he danced with you to that night. His lips felt swollen from all your kisses, it was wonderful.

His dreamy state came to an abrupt end when he found Garreth pacing frantically in front of the Slytherin Common room. The red head looked up at his arrival and his eyes went wide.

“There you are!” Garreth strode up to him and Sebastian got in a readied stance with his feet. “Where were you?! I saw you two leave and the way you were looking at each other all night and - Oh please tell me you didn’t do anything.” 

Sebastian avoided his gaze. He didn’t feel for a second that Garreth should be with you instead, but damn him if he didn’t feel a little sorry for the poor fool.

“Sallow?” Garreth felt like he was going to be sick, but he held out the tiniest bit of hope. If Sebastian said nothing happened between you two, he’d run with it and never look back.

Man up and tell it to him straight. Sebastian took a deep breath and lifted his chin, physically and mentally preparing to get punched, he’d let Weasley have that much. “We kissed. We’re going to start seeing each other.”

Garreth’s eyes went wild, and he let out an incredulous guffaw. “Are you now? Well that’s just brilliant, isn’t it?!” It wasn’t really directed at him, Sebastian noticed. Garreth began pacing back and forth, looking as if he was going mad. “Why in Merlin’s name did I listen to that knobhead?! Hey Northcott, did you know spending time with someone and treating them right works? Who would have guessed?!” He looked back at Sebastian then, he clenched his hand into a fist like he was going to deck him. “I ought to bash your face in, Sallow. But right now, I’m more itching to have a word with Northcott. Best watch your back, I’m not done with you.”

Sebastian released the breath he was holding as Garreth stormed off. He could take him in a duel no problem, but he’d better keep a close eye on his food and drinks for a while.

Jenna Yeah. The episode ends with a Pam and Jim talking head. They have come to an agreement on their fantasy of what their life will be after they win the lottery. And I need to point out my hair in this talking head. I think I remember this. If you look at it, it looks like I have those kind of curls, kind of like Nellie Olsen from Little House on the Prairie. They're like big barrel curls.

Angela Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jenna Around my head. I am pretty sure- what we would do in the mornings for my hair is we would curl it like that, but then we would leave it.

Angela To let it set.

Jenna Yes. And we would go on and we would rehearse. And then right before we got ready to shoot, then Kim Ferry, she would kind of like lightly kind of brush out the curl with her fingertips or something. It would be like her or Debbie would do it. I think we forgot and we shot this talking head and we had not brushed out the curls. And I have a memory of this happening once on the show, and I think this was it. And afterwards we said something. We said, Oh, my gosh, we forgot to brush out the curls. And they were like, We don't care. We got it. It looks fine. We don't care. But now here it is. All these years later, I'm watching this talking head and oh yeah, there it is. That's the day we forgot.

Angela We didn't brush out the curls.

Jenna Yeah, check it out.

Angela Well, Jim and Pam, I guess their fantasies are finally meeting up, though. They're going to have a, like, a New York type of brownstone, but it's going to be on top of a mountain.

Jenna Mm hmm.

Angela But yet it'll also be a short walk to, like, bookstores.

Jenna It's a short subway stop at the top of the mountain from the best museums. Jim can fish from Pam's pottery studio window, you know? But the schools are terrible. Not good schools. But what are you going to do?

Angela What are you going to do?

Jenna Yeah.

Angela Well, you know, maybe in their fantasy life, they've got to really force it to find common ground.

2: talk about a notable time a narrative or character has looked you dead in the eyes and said “fuck your plan, here���s what we’re actually doing.”

7: tell us about the plot of the first fanfic you ever wrote

9: in an ideal world where you’re already super successful and published, would you want to see a tv or movie adaptation of your work? why or why not?

Fic Writer Ask Game

2. So there's been a couple points: the first date by the lake chapter in Maiden. They weren't supposed to kiss! Aegon was going to resist *so hard* but they both grabbed me by the shoulders and went I need to shove my tongue down their throat. And you know what? Totally worked out. Another time was Jace getting his own POV and that going on for a couple chapters (and dragging Baela along hissing and spitting). And then, of course, Floris Baratheon just entered the chat and took it over. I love that little Antler Queen.

7. ahahahaha oh man... the earliest memory I had was I was 9 years old and Nellie Olsen and Almanzo Wilder were dating and then Almanzo cheated on Nellie with Laura Ingalls and Nellie, in the betrayal, ran sobbing into the prairie never to be found again.

9. Hmmmmmmm I would love that, truly. I come from a film/screenwriting background, it's a place I'm comfortable in even though I'm out of practice with it (it's been over 10 years). I think a lot of people who embark on long fic, at least from my experience, have always joked about 'the movie/tv show made from the fic'. And I think I'd love to see my original work adapted as well. I think the only thing that would keep me hesitant is having my experience in fandom, seeing the ugly side of things when it comes to adaptations.

I’ve been wallowing for three weeks, doing very little work and taking bed rot to another level, and nothing makes me feel as bad as doing nothing, so I decided to learn a new skill to pull myself out of my funk. When I was a kid I loved Laura Ingalls Wilder and I wanted to learn all the skills a pioneer would need to survive, and I’m not sure I’d thrive on the 1800s prairie but I’ve collected a few skills that I think would put me miles ahead of Nelly Olsen. I make beer, medicine, candles, preserves, can milk a cow, bake, garden, sew, dress an animal, make cheese and pemmican, and now I’m trying my hand at soap making too. I’m obsessed with Florida Water, so I’m attempting that as the first batch, infusing my oils with citrus, rose petals, basil and other botanicals. I literally have no idea what I’m doing but there’s lye involved so seems fine! I’m also starting to work on the Hekate rituals kits for Samhain, and a Dionysus kit for November, so I have plenty to keep me busy. I’m seeing the eye doc on Monday so at least I’ll have a better idea of what’s up with my vision and I’ll just figure this out from there. Thank you for all of the well wishes and patience with orders while I had my hissy fit. ♥️♥️♥️

[throatgoatdukat]

this is embarrassingly late but I was tagged by @pangaeastarseed and iirc @babycupart (who tagged my main) for this and I legitimately waited because the last song I had heard was decidedly uncool and I was waiting for a better one to come up to fulfill this ... anyways here we go!

3 ships you like: for DS9 it's gonna be most Dukat stuff just because I like rare/absurd ships. I legit went into the series ready to be indoctrinated into Garashir for the popular ship privilege, but true to form I grew attached to the gnarliest gremlin-souled reptile of the series and now I kinda love Garak/Dukat and Sisko/Dukat. Intendant Kira/Dukat would probably round out that group!

First ship ever: Yamato/Mimi from Digimon, though I turned into a Sorato shipper real fast hahahahahahah (iykyk)

Last song you heard: fml legitimately forgot I was doing this so now it's S Club 7's Say Goodbye because I was doing a wikipedia deep dive

Favorite childhood book: On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I am aware that the series and LIW is problematic in a lot of ways, but man did that book truly capture the devastation of having a beloved stuffed animal forcefully given away. Plus some petty mean girl gets served catharsis via Nellie Olsen.

Currently reading: The Mill House Murders by Ayatsuji Yukito

Currently watching: Agatha Christie's Marple

Currently consuming: a date + banana + peanut butter milkshake

Currently craving: nothing, this milkshake thicc and I am extremely full

literally everyone I follow has completed this in some way u_u so if this comes across your dash and you'd like to share, please consider yourself tagged by me!! (and tag me so I can be nosey and snoop your replies)

The Black Widow

The Events In 1881 Brynhild Paulsdatter Storset left behind her life of grinding poverty as a dairy maid on a farm in Norway for a new start in the United States. Joining her older sister Nellie in Chicago, she changed her name to something more American: Bella Petersen.

Three years later, Petersen would marry her first husband Mads Sorensen, with the couple opened a candy store in Chicago. The store was not a great success, and within a year had mysteriously burned to the ground. The couple received a large payout from their insurance policy, which they used to buy a family home for their three daughters, Myrtle, Lucy, and Jennie.

On July 30, 1890, Mads Sorensen died in mysterious circumstances. The first doctor to examine him believed he had been poisoned with strychnine, with Bella admitting she had given him some form of "medicinal powders," but the family doctor dismissed it as heart failure.

On the day of his death, Sorensen had two overlapping life insurance policies, which provided his widow Bella with a handsome payout of $5,000, which she used to buy a 42-acre farm in La Porte, Indiana.

She would change her name again to Belle, and in 1901 married the town's butcher, widower Peter Gunness. Within a year, Peter's daughter died in Bella's care, and he himself would die in strange circumstances when it was reported a sausage grinder and a jar of scalding water fell on his head. A coroner reported his belief Peter had been poisoned, as he showed symptoms of having ingested strychnine, but it was ruled an accidental death - and Bella walked away with another insurance payout.

While Belle would not marry again, in January 1908 Andrew Helgelien from South Dakota accepted her invitation to join her in Indiana. She had told him, "Come prepared to stay forever." Helgelien promptly emptied his bank account and moved in with her, but was never seen again.

Unearthing the bodies On the morning of April 28, 1908, a fire broke out at the farmhouse, and in the burning ruins a body of a headless woman was found, believed to be Belle, lying alongside her three children.

Asle Helgelien, who had been in correspondence with Belle about his missing brother, insisted that the authorities now take a closer look at her property. They found some disturbed areas of dirt in the farm's hog pens, and after digging down 3 feet discovered a foul-smelling gunny sack filled with human remains, including two hands, two feet, and a head. When the dismembered body parts were all laid out, it became obvious they belonged to Andrew Helgelien.

A total of 14 bodies were found, including men, women, children, and an infant. One was Belle's foster daughters Jennie Olsen, who was believed to have been studying in California; however, the vast majority of the butchered bodies could not be identified. The apparently kindly mother had been revealed to be a serial killer.

The Theories The one constant in Belle's life had been her farmhand Ray Lamphere, but in the years before the fire their relationship had become strained, and she had reported him to the police as a danger to her family. Lamphere was arrested soon after the fire, and in November 1908 convicted of arson, but not murder, and sentenced to a minimum of two years in prison. Just 14 months made a confession on his deathbed to a local priest.

Lamphere detailed how Belle had lured a succession of men to her property with a classified ad she placed in the "matrimonial columns" of local Norwegian-language newspapers: "WANTED: A woman who owns a beautifully located and valuable farm in first-class condition, wants a good and reliable man as partner in the same. Some little cash is required for which will be furnished first-class security." When the men arrived, they were robbed and killed by Belle, with Lamphere's assistance. She would slip drugs into their coffee before delivering a fatal blow to the head with a meat cleaver. Their bodies would be cut up in her basement and buried outside around her hog pen.

With Asle Helgelien close to discovering her secret, it was believed Belle decided to burn her house down, stage a getaway, and start again somewhere new. Lamphere claimed Belle had traveled to Chicago a couple of days before the fire to find her body double. They had recruited a woman who thought she would be the farm's maid, but who had been beheaded, dressed in Belle's clothes, and left to burn in the fire.

Rumors have long persisted that Belle did not die in the fire, and in the years that followed there were sightings of her around the United States. The most credible was of a woman called Esther Carlson, who in 1931 was arrested for poisoning a Norwegian-American man in Los Angeles. She looked like Belle, and was the same size, but died while awaiting trial, and modern DNA comparisons proved inconclusive.

Nellie King for the alternate fc PLEASE

Oh gosh okay so Nellie has actually gone through like 5 fcs at this point before I finally settled of Elizabeth Olsen. If I had to pick another fc for Nellie, I think an argument could be made for Jenny Boyd. Now that I have super power content for Nell, I can't go back lol.

Vanessa doesn't have to ever confirm that she has a child if and when it happens. Nelly Furtado and Ashley Olsen hid their pregnancies and didn't confirm that they had children until after the children were already born.

A Few Times That I Felt Laura Could Have Used More Support From Charles and Caroline Little House on The Prairie.

Hey Everyone How are You all doing Today ? so i have Talked about Little House On the Prairie a Lot on here and i know that People can

seem a Bit Tired of reading the same thing over and over and over again But i have something that i would Like to say Okay so here is

the thing i am Not saying that i do not Mary i just kinda felt that when one Child is Expected to do well they are more Likely to do so and

when one child is Expected to do Poorly they are More Likely to do so as well Like if you Go Back and you watch season 2 Ep 16 Entitled

Trouble Maker Caroline ends up saying something that i kinda feel is a Little Unfair in she ends up saying Laura is not the Student Mary Is

and she Never will be But she dose try hard okay Caroline if you really feel like Laura is that bad at school then why don t you slow down

and help her i mean after all Caroline was a School Teacher she could helped her at Least a Little Bit and also in season 4 Ep 21 Entitled i will be

be waving as you Drive away Part 1 where Mary says that she is Gonna take the Teachers Test and she says she dose not want to fail

and Caroline says i am sure you will pass with Flying Colors Then in season 6 Ep 2 Entitled Back to school when Laura says she wants to

Be a Teacher Charles says Laura your Making a Mistake and Caroline says oh Laura its a Hard Test Like okay so you Believe that Mary can

take the test and pass it but Laura can t Like i said before no i do not think that they Loved Mary More then Laura Because that is not true

But Like i said Before when one Child is Expected to do well They are More Likely to do so and when One Child is Expected to do Poorly

they are More Likely to do so as well and i Just kinda felt that if Laura had the same amount of Help and Encouragement as Mary was then

i think it would have Boosted Laura Confidence a Little More i Just think that Laura Should have been Given a Little Confidence and

Encouragement From Charles and Caroline Again i am not saying that they Loved Mary More Because that is Not true i Just think that

if the Writers would have wrote More times where Caroline was Being there for Laura and where Caroline was being a Bit More

Motherly to Laura i think it would Made the show a Lot better also another time that i think Laura Needed a Little More Support from

her Mom and Dad was In season 1 Ep 7 Nellie Olsen Invited Mary and Laura to her Birthday Party Nellie Pushed Laura away from her for

No Reason and when Laura Fell down she Twisted her Ankle Pretty Badly and No I am Not saying that they Needed to Go and Make a

Hugh deal Out of the whole thing but i do wish that they would have Tried to Find out what went on at the Party Because if it was Me and

Laura was My Kid i would have wanted to know what went on Because if My Child Left My House to Go to a Birthday Party and

Came Back Home Injured i would have spoken to the Mother and Father of the other Child and i think it would have been nice to see

Caroline and Charles stand up for Laura in that way that is for sure again i know that they do Love Laura but i just felt that they could

have found ways for Caroline to show it more that is all well Thanks for reading have a Great day Know that you are Loved and cared for

always and Forever know that God Loves You and cares for you .

✏️😊

✏️ The first fanfiction you ever wrote? (doesn’t have to be a posted fic)

OH WOW Okay. Ummmm. Nellie Olsen and Almanzo Wilder actually comes to mind (it did not end well, she ran into the prarier with a broken heart). I must have been ten? I don't remember if it was BEFORE or AFTER I wrote Star Wars fic. But that was all circa 1997-2000 so my memory is really fuzzy on what I wrote and published and what I just wrote.

😊 The fic that you’re the most proud of?

Um, my first instinct is to say none of them? Because the ones I've put out there haven't been like, super great? But I guess if I had to pick one, it's Fight For Me (If It's Not Too Late) which is a Derek x Lydia teen wolf fic that I actually FINISHED (as in multichaptered). It's still up on AO3. Also I forgot about all the Hook x Aurora fic I actually finished. Soulmates Never Die is also really close to my heart (I ran the community back in the day on LJ).

🎨 Show us a sneak peek from a WIP!

omg omg okay uh... fuck. This is my HotD re-write I'm doing and I'm really trying to be okay with embracing that it's going to be a rewrite or canon and that it's okay? I never used to be this nervous.

(Also I couldn't indent this so sorry)

The more often you’re pregnant, the more he’ll leave you alone.

Alicent recalled the advice given to her when she could hardly move, trading barbs with the other women who thought they were giving the young queen all the advice she needed. She was loath to admit that they were indeed right. Her three babes had quickened faster than she’d expected, but her insides were crippled from generations of incest.

Lyonel Strong had always been kind to her, facilitating ravens sent from his wife, her cousin. The older woman’s messages had been a balm to her soul, but Celeste had been held at Harrenhal as she’d been prone to sickness. To have gone to sup with her father not long after Helaena was born - inconsolable or silent at the drop of a hat - and to be wrapped in the warm embrace of Celeste had been a homecoming. 

It could not replace the ache of lost friendship, but Celeste had slotted into the scarred wound that her mother’s absence had left, filling the rift with the loving, guiding hand of an older sister. Celeste Strong had the same auburn curls as her own, the same soft features, and a child of her own. And gratefully, she discovered that she was not a mother who only sat with her in hopes of chaining their children together.

Abrogail, the same age as her little Helaena, had a usually sweet temperament, and had picked up on the little quirks of the princess in the way that only children could do. Aegon had grown sullen after the birth of his brother, unhappy with his place in her lap being replaced once more.

“Daven would do the same. It’s not unusual,” Celeste offered as Helaena was passed to a maid so Alicent could pull her precious Aegon into her arms. The boy was red faced, angry and tearful with his wounds. 

“‘Laena bit me!” Aegon wailed, throwing himself into Alicent with dramatics that she couldn’t understand. On some deep level, however, she felt she understood.

I just wanted someone to tell me they were sorry for what happened to me.

Alicent pressed kisses to the soft, pale crown of her boy’s head, stroking his back as Abrogail watched him warily from her mother’s arms. 

His tears soaked the collar of her dress as she rocked him. She had not been able to rock him in so long, and she found she’d missed it. She wanted him to be little forever. She would put up with hundreds of fights just like this, if she could always hold him in her arms, protective and full of love.

She’ll kill them, if you do not protect them, if you do not make Aegon king. Your children are the threats to her rule, Alicent.

“M’sorry, Aegon,” Abrogail’s little voice came. Alicent looked at the child with her cloud of golden-red curls as she hesitantly reached out to gently pat Aegon’s back. Her boy snuffled, glaring down at her, and Alicent lifted her hand to stop Aegon’s fist from flailing out.

“That was very kind to say, Abby,” Alicent said, smiling at her little cousin and then to Aegon. “Everyone should be sorry, right?” 

His sullen expression met hers, with eyes round and a deep violet that could almost be blue. 

Alicent raised her eyebrows at her boy. “It is just and princely and honorable.”

A sigh. “Sorry, Aemond,” came his apology.

Helaena, who did not speak, merely shrieked and bared her bloody mouth.
