Stardew Effect, pt 18
Gotta start shaking that rust off, eh?
Full chapter over on AO3
"So, okay… run this by me again."
Kaidan was perched on Evvy's bed, cross-legged, elbows braced on his knees as he watched the other man resettle beside him. On the nightstand before them was Everett's laptop, lid open, screen aglow, the bird he'd rescued peering down at the keys as if in deep concentration. 
"I'm like, ninety percent sure that bird is actually Liara."
"And she's …'cursed?'"
"Like, super cursed."
"And you came to that conclusion because something… repelled you? When you tried to heal her?"
"Something like that." Everett mirrored Kaidan's position, and for all he looked even more exhausted than he'd seemed earlier that day, there was a quirk to his lips and a glint in his eyes that echoed the sort of good-humor Kaidan had come to associate with him. 
"You seem amused by all this."
"I'm amused by you."
"Hey! Why!" His outrage was undercut by his own inability to suppress a smile. Despite the weird and frankly worrying circumstances, it did him good to see Evvy in better spirits. He reached over, prodding Everett in the ribs, doubling his efforts when the other man tried to squirm away. He captured him, pulling him against his chest and running his fingertips along the sensitive areas he'd mapped once before. "I went all the way to that tower for you! Climbed way too many stairs! Tried to understand Wizard!"
Everett was laughing, only half-heartedly trying to escape. 
"I almost tried re-creating that hallucinogenic tree tea! And I come all the way here just to get sassed! Unbelievable."
"You weren't gonna try to make that tea, Kay."
"True, but saying I would've helps my case here."
Everett shifted, looking up at him, cheeks lightly flushed. "Fighting dirty there, Kaidan?"
"If it gets you to laugh like that," he replied with a shrug, smiling a little. "Worth it."
Everett's smile softened, and he leaned up to brush a kiss to Kaidan's cheek. Kaidan gave him a little squeeze in return, resting his chin against his shoulder. "So what's actually amusing?"
"Just how outraged you are at the idea of curses," Evvy admitted. "We know Liara can teleport, but this is where you draw the line?"
"This is a step beyond 'odd,' Evvy. This," he gestured towards the bird, watching as it lifted a delicate foot and attempted to smack a few keys with it, promptly falling over. "This I can't even take seriously."
The bird turned its head then, fixing him with what could only be considered a beady-eyed glare. 
"I don't know how else she can communicate with us!" Everett leaned forward without actually leaving Kaidan's hold, reaching out to set the bird to rights. "Try your beak?"
"Maybe keep things simple? Like 'Y' for yes, 'N' for no…" Kaidan offered after a moment of watching the bird stare intently at the keys. "Are you Liara?"
The bird glanced at him before shuffling across the keys -- stepping on several, leaving a trail of nonsense on the word processor Evvy'd pulled up. 
"Well."
"Hang on, hang on…" Everett leaned forward, a grin twitching at his lips. "She's got it!"
Well, shit, Kaidan thought, bemused, as the bird deliberately found the 'Y' key and held it, adding a string of y's at the end of her initial line of random keystrokes. 
"Do I want to ask the obvious question?" he began after a moment. 
"Hmm?"
"How do we know if she's telling the truth?" 
"…you think someone else got cursed into bird shape?"
"Or someone else can turn into a bird at will," Kaidan pointed out. "And if Liara did get cursed…how'd she wind up in the mines?" 
Everett frowned, leaning back in Kaidan's hold. "Well," he began after a moment. "We already know Liara can teleport, remember? I don't know if it's that far-fetched to assume someone else can initiate the teleporting. Could explain how she wound up where she did."
"But they bird-ified her first?"
"I didn't say it wasn't extra," Everett replied with a shrug. He tapped against Kaidan's knee. "We could try asking her a few questions? See if we can't suss out if she's the real deal?"
Some of the other man's excitement had ebbed, and Kaidan couldn't help but feel responsible for it. He knew it was the right call -- neither of them knew anything about the sort of power Liara wielded, and their own separate experiences with the strange and unusual was overshadowed by how much more strange and unusual the Valley was proving to be. 
It paid to be cautious.

Shadow and Bone Season 2 premieres March 16, 2023 on Netflix
First look images, followed by quotes from Eric Heisserer, Daegan Fryklind, and Leigh Bardugo, as well as a synopsis and more info on Season 2, which I cannot frickin' wait for.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eric Heisserer and Daegan Fryklind (Co-Showrunners / Executive Producers / Writers) & Leigh Bardugo (Author / Executive Producer) on what fans can expect this season:
HEISSERER: The most wonderful thing about Season Two is that we get to advance the story of these characters that we'd left in precarious positions at the end of Season One. There's a lot of potential for them this season. They have to face the consequences for their actions, and then they get to meet new people along the way. The Grishaverse also expands in this season, both in mythology and in characters. In doing so, we expand the world, we go to new locations, we visit Novyi Zem and Shu Han, and those are all integral to the narrative.
FRYKLIND: We've also really dug into more of the mythology this season in terms of the amplifiers, but also the creator of the amplifiers, Morozova, who he was, what his backstory is, and how he ties into this world. We go out and we go deeper.
BARDUGO: I think the readers now trust our writers the way that I do. This season I was able to step back and put the show more firmly in their hands. I think when we approached Season One, a lot of people were like, "It's impossible. It can't be done. Why would you bring SHADOW AND BONE and SIX OF CROWS together?" And I think now, we have that trust. And I think it's going to be very, very exciting for them to see the way that trust pays off in Season Two. Every part of the Grishaverse is coming into play. We are going to get to see some incredible new characters. We're going to see characters interacting with each other, questing with each other, fighting and laughing with each other, who we never got to see together in the books. And I think that's a unique thing about this show. Readers are not only going to be surprised by the way that these storylines crash into each other, they're never going to know where the next move is coming from—and that actually was a pleasure for me because I got to be surprised by my own stories.

But General Kirigan has returned to finish what he started. Backed by a terrifying new army of seemingly indestructible shadow monsters and fearsome new Grisha recruits, Kirigan is more dangerous than ever. To stand a fighting chance against him, Alina and Mal rally their own powerful new allies and begin a continent-spanning journey to find two mythical creatures that will amplify her powers. Back in Ketterdam, the Crows must forge new alliances as they contend with old rivals and even older grudges that threaten not only their place in the Barrel, but their very lives. When a chance at a deadly heist comes their way, the Crows will once again find themselves on a collision course with the legendary Sun Summoner. Based on Leigh Bardugo's worldwide bestselling Grishaverse novels, SHADOW AND BONE returns for a second season of new friendships, new romance, bigger battles, epic adventures — and a shocking family secret that could shatter everything.

Various Actors, Professional Wrestlers, Porn Stars x Fem Reader- "Swimming Pools"
This fanfiction may contain material things may find problematic, but viewer discretion is advised...
______________________________________________________________
You've had this sexual fantasy of being at a local community swimming pool, and the men at this swimming pool are Don Johnson in the early 1970's when he looked like this:
Tumblr media
Even though Don Johnson looked sexy AF during the late 1980's when he had long hair, he also looked sexy AF in the early 1970's before he was famous, and in the early 1970's he looked like a teenager despite that he was a grown man.
Bubba Higgins from "Mama's Family" during the late 1980's when he looks like this:
Tumblr media
Eric Stoltz when he looks like this:
Tumblr media
Or maybe even how he looks in the film "Fast Times At Ridgemont High".
John Ritter in his "Three's Company" days when he looks like this:
Tumblr media
Leigh McCloskey in the film "Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn" when he looks like this:
Tumblr media
Wrestler Jerry Lynn in the early 1990's when he looked like this or when he first joined ECW:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some of the other men at this swimming pool include Jeff Hardy at the beginning of 1997, Christian Cage in the late 1990's and the year 2000 when he had long blond hair, 90's and 2000's Chris Jericho when he has long hair and no facial hair, Bill Paxton in the "Tales from the Crypt" episode "People Who Live in Brass Hearses", late 1990's Shawn Michaels (specifically Shawn in 1997/1996), Triple H at the end of 1997/beginning of 1998 or even during his 90's blueblood Hunter Hearst Helmsley days, Nova from ECW in the late 1990's or even in 2001/2002, Brian Pillman in 1996, Raven during his ECW and WCW days, Leif Cassidy in 1996 (before he grew that handlebar moustache at the end of the year), Tommy Rogers either during his Fantastics days at the end of 1988 or during his ECW run in the late 90's (he looks better during his Fantastics days), Rob Van Dam either during his ECW and WWE/F days in the 90's and early 2000's or RVD during his Robbie V days in WCW in 1993, Razor Ramon/Scott Hall, wrestler Sam Houston in the 1990's, wrestler Wayne Bloom in the early 1990's, 90's MTV VJ John Sencio in 1994 or even in 1998 when he was on the short lived sitcom "The Army Show", Richard Tyson in "Three O'Clock High" and WCW wrestler Jim Powers.
Other men in this fantasy are male porn stars Biff Malibu, Gerry Pike, Jay Serling in the 1980's when he doesn't have facial hair and Shawn Ricks in the 2001 porn movie "Babewatch 4", Vince Van Patten on "Baywatch", John Bender in "the Breakfast Club", Thomas Haden Church in the 90's when he has long hair and looks like this:
Tumblr media
And maybe even Mark Hamill in the film "Corvette Summer".
In this fantasy, Don Johnson in the early 1970's, Jeff Hardy at the beginning of 1997, Christian Cage when he had long hair, Raven in ECW and WCW, Leif Cassidy in 1996, Robbie V from WCW, Chris Jericho, Jerry Lynn in the early 90's, Eric Stoltz and maybe even Nova in his ECW days are meant to be teenage boys even though all of these aforementioned men are grown men.
Bubba Higgins on "Mama's Family", John Bender in "The Breakfast Club" and Richard Tyson in "Three O'Clock High" were teenagers even though they were played by grown men.
You are not a sexual predator or pedophile, all of the men in this fantasy were grown legal men even if some of them were playing teens.
The rest of the listed men in this fantasy are grown men playing grown men.
At this swimming pool, some of these men are lounging in pool chairs, whereas some of the boys like Don Johnson in the early 1970's, Bubba Higgins and Jeff Hardy are inside the swimming pool splashing about.
Some of the men in this fantasy are also lifeguards sitting in chairs.
Shawn Michaels, Triple H/Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Jeff Hardy, Christian Cage, Leif Cassidy, Chris Jericho, Nova from ECW, Tommy Rogers, Wayne Bloom, John Sencio, Biff Malibu, and Gerry Pike all have their long hair hanging down in this fantasy, although all of these men in this fantasy have their long hair hanging down except for Jim Powers.
You walked this community swimming pool wearing a rather skimpy pink bikini, like the bikini Susanna Hoffs wears on the poster for the movie "The All-Nighters".
When you step further into the swimming pool but not taking a dip into the swimming pool yet, just about all of the males' eyes were all on you.
Their heads turned and their eyes were all on you.
Some of the men in this fantasy lounging in pool chairs were smiling from ear to ear hollering at you and giving you those "wolf whistles" as they're called.
Teenage boys are infamously horny, and these teen boys eyes were focused on you where their eyes were studying your body up and down while their mouths grinned and erections were forming under their shorts.
They were no longer playing and splashing around in this pool but instead looking at you.
You didn't mind these men and boys staring and leering at you, in fact, you specifically wanted them all to look at you.
With a grin on your face, you stood there and would turn your body to show yourself off to all of these men and boys to leer at you.
"This little bikini top can barely cover my breasts" you stated loud enough for all of these men at this pool to hear, your eyes staring at one of your breasts saying that.
You said that to sexually arouse these men.
Later on in this fantasy, you got into this swimming pool, where you stood in front of these men playing teenage boys like Don Johnson, Jeff Hardy, Christian Cage, Raven, Chris Jericho, Eric Stoltz, Leif Cassidy, Bubba Higgins from "Mama's Family", John Bender from "The Breakfast Club", Robbie V from WCW and Leigh McCloskey.
They were all smiling and eager standing in front of you, and you lowered your chest down until the pool's water was above your breasts.
As the water was above your tits, your hands reached behind your back and untied the back of your bikini top, where you pulled your top off of your chest and let your breasts soak under the cold water.
The boys noticed your barenaked breasts under the water and pointed at them, where they smiled from ear to ear and got excited.
They'd probably cum in the swimming pool.
After your breasts were dampened by this cold water, you raised your body up until your barenaked tits were above the water, where you were showing your barenaked tits off to these men.
Your breasts were now wet and your nipples were erect from the cold water.
These boys cheered seeing your barenaked breasts and soon the rest of these men in the pool's eyes were glued to your tits.
Some of the men were cheering for your breasts out exposed.
You stood there topless with a wicked grin on your face showing off.
These boys were getting horny when you walked next to the pool and showed yourself off, but they were getting hornier when they saw your bare, wet breasts.
They weren't the only ones getting horny, so were the rest of these men at the swimming pool.
If you could, you'd ask these boys to dunk their heads under the pool's water and you'd sink down under the water as well, where you'd flash your barenaked breasts to them.
However, these boys aren't wearing swimming goggles, and when people open their eyes when they're underwater and don't wear goggles, their vision looks foggy.
Although, this is a fantasy.
Plus, you want some of these men lounging by the pool and lifeguards to look at your barenaked breasts too.
"I just love how cool and cold this pool is" you stated to these boys, "Feels good to swim in cold water during a hot day"
You were referring to this because the cold water is making your nipples erect.
"Y'know, boys can walk around shirtless, but girls can't" you added, saying that as an excuse to show off your barenaked breasts.
Meanwhile, these boys standing in front of you wouldn't take their eyes off of your breasts and all of them were smiling, some of their hands wanted to reach out and touch them.
They can look and they can touch.
Heh, you could've entered this swimming pool wearing a white T-shirt with a bikini bottom but no bikini top under your shirt, where you would've soaked yourself into the pool and your breasts and nipples are seen under your top after you've taken a dip, where you would've shown off your breasts to all of these men and boys without even raising and pulling your shirt up.
This fantasy could also take place at a summer camp, where these boys are all attending a summer camp and these men are camp counselors, and before these boys go swimming, you approach them wearing a bikini, where you show your body off to these men and boys while they all gaze happily with their eyes reading your body.
This fantasy almost did take place at a summer camp, but I decided on a swimming pool instead.
You could've included wrestlers like the Young Bucks in the 2010's and Dean Ambrose during his WWE days, but you had this fantasy in the late 1990's and early 2000's.
There's other men---mainly professional wrestlers---you could add to this fantasy.
You can't decide if Triple H at the end of 1997 and beginning of 1998, Nova from ECW and John Ritter in his "Three's Company" heyday looks underage.

Second chances.
Summary: You and Tom broke up 2 years ago because of your busy lives, you being in a popular girl band, him with his filming schedule, things ended mutually but you still love him and he still loves you. When you randomly meet at a party, will fate bring you back together?
Pairing: Tom Holland x reader
Warnings: Swearing (?) implied smut, alcohol
Word count: 4.5K
A/N: In this you’re the fifth member of Little Mix. I know this is awful writing but it took me ages so I’m posting it anyways.
You were attending a party Ariana Grande was throwing, it was very rare you ever attended parties with your busy schedule but your manager insisted saying it was good opportunity for you and the other girls to socialise with other people in the industry.
You sigh as you finish your hair, you weren’t sure if it looked nice or not but you’d spent the time and effort curling it, so you weren’t bothering changing it now.
“Your hair looks fine before you ask.” Perrie says as she sits on the bed applying her lipstick.
“Thanks, I was thinking if it looked okay.” She rolls her eyes, “It looks gorgeous. Stop fretting.” You just nod and apply a lipstick to match what you were wearing, a black dress, black perspex heels and a red clutch bag.
“Are you both ready? The cars here.” You turn to the door and see Leigh-Anne, looking gorgeous in a yellow two piece. “Yeah we’re coming.”
You exit the room and walk down the stairs, your mood was clearly not the best and you didn’t mean for it be bad, but you weren’t much of a party person, you hated any social gatherings.
“Cheer up darling, tonight will be great.” Jade says as you slide in the back of the Uber. “I hope you’re right.” She smiles and grabs your hand squeezing it lightly.
-
The drive to Ariana’s was short but familiar as you’ve been to her house before, what wasn’t familiar was the sound of loud music and paparazzi all lined up outside her gates and a long queue of cars down the road.
When the cameras spot your car they try and force their cameras up to the windows and take photos of whoever is inside. The driver presses the intercom and you’re let in through the gates as security stand next to the car to ensure no paparazzi get through while the gates are open.
Once at the top of the drive you get out the car, thanking the driver. You sigh looking up at the big house, “Come on! Don’t be glum, we’re going to have a good night.” Jesy grabs your arm, linking it with hers and drags you into the party, being with Jesy was probably a bad decision because she knows how to party and is the complete opposite of you. “Jess please don’t make me drink.” You sigh as she grabs two champagne glasses off the table by the door. “Oh come on Y/N! At least one, settle your nerves.” She hands you the glass and you take, nodding in agreement that one drink probably wouldn’t hurt.
You all continue your walk through the big house, up the stairs and into the party, you spot Ariana and Jesy drags you over, her hand still tightly gripped to your forearm so you have no choice but to follow her.
“Ariana!” Jesy gets her attention and she smiles widely, “Jesy, Y/N! So nice to see you both. Are Leigh-Anne and Perrie here?” You return her hug, “Yes, they’re here somewhere.”Your voice came out a bit quieter than you would of liked but you brushed it off. “Well ladies, enjoy yourselves. The bar is out back and help yourself to anything from the buffet in the kitchen. Go mingle.” You smile at her as Jesy drags you away, “Oh Y/N! The dogs are in my room if it all gets too much.” She says with a wink, you smile widely, Ariana knew about how you didn’t do too well in social situations from when you were on tour together and how the dogs always helped calm you.
You loosen the grip Jesy had on your arm but stay close to her as she walks outside to where most of the people attending the party were.
There were a lot of familiar faces jumping out at you but some were strangers. You smile at a few people you know and say a few hello’s here and there but not really speaking to anyone, until someone grabs your arm and pulls you in a hug, you’re startled slightly and pull back as quick as you can until you see it’s Tom, “What not happy to see me?” You laugh and hug him this time, “I am, just wasn’t expecting you to be here.” He chuckles, “I mean- I could say the same about you. Seeing you at a major party was last on my list today.” You shrug, “Its a band thing.” You say, “Oh makes sense.”
You take in his appearance and he looks dashing in black jeans, black shoes and a white jumper. “How’ve you been?” Tom asks and you answer honestly, things had been hectic, especially since you last saw Tom nearly 2 years ago after your break up. “Mad, honestly, I’ve not stopped, I feel like I’ve been on the run for 2 years. My body’s on overdrive.” He frowns slightly, “You always were overworked.” He turns to look around the room, “Yeah I suppose.” He then looks back at you, “Come on, let me introduce you to some people I’m here with.” He grabs your hand and pulls you through the crowd.
You spot who he’s leading you to and you gulp, you recognised everyone he was about to introduce you to and you were nervous. “Y/N!” Harrison yelled, causing everyone to turn to you. “So nice to see you.” He hugs you, which causes you to relax a little more. “Yeah you too Harrison.” Tom squeezes your hand again and you turn to him. “Y/N this is Jacob, Zendaya, Sebastian, Chris and Anthony.” You wave lightly in their direction, “Nice to meet you all.” Zendaya laughs, “Oh no, not another English accent I can’t understand.” This makes everyone around you laugh, ��Sorry I’ll try my best to pronounce my words clearly.” You smile at her and she returns the gesture. “Y/N what are you doing back in the states? Thought you were done over here for a while?” Harrison asks, seemingly more interested in you than anyone else as everyone returned to the conversations they were having before. “Oh well-so did I! But we’re over here filming a music video.” He nods, “Well it’s nice seeing you, to be honest since you and Tom broke up it’s been boring, you were the fun one.” He jokes causing you to really laugh because you know he didn’t mean it, you were far from the fun one, you were the shy, quiet, not very outgoing one.
The sound of your laugh causes Tom to look up at you, he can’t help but smile, that was one thing that made him love you more, your smile, your laugh, the way you wrinkled your nose when you laughed, and how your eyes shone, he never really did move on from you, he just jumped straight into a new relationship and then another one, and another one, until he finally got with Zendaya and he was happy, but she wasn’t you.
“How long you here for?” Harrison’s asks you, “Around 2 months, we have a lot of writing sessions scheduled too so that should be fun.” He nods before being asked something by Jacob and turning away from you. You stand there awkwardly as everyone is having a conversation and you’re just listening like an outsider.
You decided to walk through the crowd a little more, see if there’s anyone else you know, although you wouldn’t normally do this not being a party person you felt confident enough, knowing that that the girls wouldn’t be far away and also Tom and Harrison are here, it also gives you chance to think things over.
Seeing Tom really threw you off, you hadn’t seen him in 2 years and although your relationship ended mutually, he took some getting over and you’d barley done that. You’d had one other relationship in the last 2 years, and that barley lasted, you compared everything about that relationship to your relationship with Tom and it was hard.
You knew he was with Zendaya now though so you wouldn’t do anything to jeopardise that, you wanted to see him happy, you wouldn’t ruin his happiness for selfish reasons, plus he’d moved on, you couldn’t risk everything for him to potentially not love you anymore.
You smile as you pass a few more people you know but one person catches you eye more that anyone else and you walk over a wide smile on your face. “Well well, look what the cat dragged out.” You giggle as you jokingly hit his arm. “Y/N, what a pleasure.” He turns around and hugs you, “Didn’t think I’d be seeing you so soon Mendes. You’ve only just left London.” He slings an arm around your shoulder, “Just can’t stay away from you.” You chuckle, “It’s nice to see a familiar face, even if it is a boring one.” He drops his arm and puts his hand on his chest, “Boring! How dare you.” He turns away faking hurt and you pull at his arm to turn him back, “You know I’m joking?” He crunches his nose but smiles at you, “Of course darling.” His eyes then dart across the room, “Oh you know your ex is here?” He points to Tom, “And he is eyeing you up.” You roll your eyes, “No he’s not. He’s with Zendaya.” Shawn sighs, “Yeah and does he look happy?” You turn in Tom’s direction and take in the image in front of you, Tom was leaning against a wall, Zendaya stood next to him, his hand linked with her’s but he wasn’t interacting with her, he was staring into space, as she spoke to Jacob, all he did was smile every now and then. “Seems to me, he wants you back.” Shaking your head you say, “No, he doesn’t.” You cross your arms over your chest, hugging them lightly, you needed a breather, “It was nice to see you Shawn but I’m gonna go inside for a bit.” You begin to walk away, “Hey, you okay? I didn’t mean to mention Tom, sorry if it upset you.” He says after you, “It’s okay.” You smile reassuringly but continue to walk inside, Tom notices you leaving, of course he did because all he’s done is keep his eyes on you since he knew you were here. He gives you a few minutes before following the way you went.
You make your way up to Ariana’s room, needing a minute, you tried to find the girls but no luck, tonight had gone completely different to how you thought it would, the party was surprisingly nice but seeing Tom really threw you off, you’d been in denial about still loving him but you knew now you couldn’t lie to yourself anymore.
You unlock Ariana’s bedroom door and you are immediately met with Toulouse and Myron jumping up your legs, “Hi babies.” You step into the room more and they follow you as you sit on the bed. Myron jumps into your lap and Toulouse lies next to you, sighing contently you stroke them both, immediately relaxing.
Your feelings were everywhere, you couldn’t think anymore about Tom and also what Shawn said. Did Tom want you back? You’d only witnessed him with Zendaya for a few minutes but you couldn’t help linger over what Shawn said about him not looking happy, he really didn’t.
A knock on the door interrupts your train of thought, you place Myron on the bed and stand up walking to the door, you open it to find Tom on the other side. “Hey- I was er looking for you.” He scratches the back of his neck nervously, “Here I am.” You giggle opening the door wider, allowing him in and then shutting it again. “Is everything okay?” He asks, sitting down on the bed, “Yeah I just needed a minute, you know me, I’m no good in social situations.” You sit next to him and he places a hand on your thigh, “Yeah I know.” You move slightly, not sure how to read his actions. “I wanted to talk to you, about something- well ab-about us, actually.” You scrunch your face up at this, “Not to be straight forward but, I didn’t think there was an us anymore.” You keep your eyes on your hands in your lap as you play with your fingers, it was a good distraction from Tom’s hand on your thigh.
“I know, but I, erm I don’t know about you but I kind of want there to be an us again.” Your eyes go wide at his words, and your cheeks deepen, “Ar-are you serious?” For the first time you look up at him and his brown eyes are already staring deeply at you, “Very serious. I’ve not stopped thinking about you for the last 2 years, I kinda get the vibe you feel the same.” You gulp, “I do. Tom, I-I still love you, but I know you’re with Zendaya and I don’t want to ruin that for you.” He shakes his head as you speak, “That’s my problem.” He then looks from your eyes to your lips, and back to yours eyes, you nod, knowing he’s asking permission to kiss you. He smiles cheekily before pressing his warm lips against yours and you kiss him back, faster than ever before because you’ve missed his lips, the warm feeling kissing him gave you, the way he made your tummy tingle and your skin get hot, you’d missed him.
He pushes you lightly and you lie down on the bed, and he slips between your legs and you wrap them around his waist, and put your arms around his neck, this kiss was deepening quickly and you knew you couldn’t take if any further no matter how much you wanted to, “Tom.” You mumble as you break the kiss but he only kisses you again this time biting your bottom lip making you moan slightly. “We can’t, not here.” You pull away again, and he groans dropping his head into the nape of your neck, he kisses the spot his lips meet and you giggle. “We still need to talk properly.” You say and although you didn’t want to put a dampener on the mood, you wanted to be cautious about jumping straight back into something with him.
“I know.” He sits up next to you but pulls you up so you’re sat in his lap. “I need to end things with Zendaya,” he sighs, “You do and that’s one thing, but we also need to talk about, why we ended things before, how stressful it all was.” He kisses your temple, “Things are going to be different this time i can feel it. We wouldn’t of come back to each other if it wasn’t.” He was right and you always hoped after you broke you would somehow find your way back to each other. “I agree.” You look at him, as his hands slowly make their way down your back and to your bum, pushing you down into his lap even more, his hips meeting yours, making the sexual tension in the air rise even more, especially when you can feel his erection against your thigh.
“Tom, I’m serious when I say I am not having sex with you in my friends bed.” You laugh, but it soon turns into a moan when he rocks his hips against yours, “You sure?” You groan again as he lies down, allowing you to fully straddle him and basically be sat on him, placing your hands on his chest. “Yes.” You whimper, as much as you wanted to grind your hips against him and rip his jeans off and ride him there and then you couldn’t, not in a house full of people.”Your choice.” He rocks his hips one more time and it takes everything in you not to have sex with him, “It is my choice.” You stand up but regret it as you feel how wet your pants now are. “Wet for me angel?” He comments, remembering from your relationship how it only took a little bit of contact and you were soaked.
“Shut up.” You mumble, he laughs standing up, heading towards the bathroom, “Doors that way Tom?” You say and point towards the door. “I know but I’ve got to sort this out.” He points down and you blush, “Go ahead.” He shuts the door behind him and you leave the room, knowing full well if you sit and wait for him, hearing his moans, would tip you over the edge and you’d go into the bathroom and sort his problem for him, so you stand outside the door patiently.
“There you are! I’ve been looking for you.” Perrie says as she see’s you stood outside the door, your eyes widen, Tom will be out in a minute and this is going to look completely wrong. “Sorry I needed a time out,” you say and try to grab the door handle behind your back but your too late as the door opens and Tom walks out, looking flustered but also you can tell
he’s been running his hands through his hair because it’s all messed up, looking like sex hair.
“Oh, Hey Perrie.” Tom says coolly, you groan, already seeing the look on Perrie’s face, “I see huh babe, you needed a time out.” She winks at you, “Pez it’s not like that.” She smirks, “Really? Cause he doesn’t have sex hair and your dress isn’t creased, no it’s not like that.” She comments but places her hands out, “In the end, it’s none of my business.” Tom wraps an arm around your waist from behind you and Perrie practically squeals, “Does this mean you’re back together?” You look up at Tom and he looks down at you, “Provisionally.” You let go of Tom as you hear footsteps coming up the stairs, you turn and lock Ariana’s bedroom door, putting the key back where you found it.
You smile as other guests pass by you, “I’m gonna go, find Harrison.” You look up at Tom, “Okay.” He glances around to make sure no one’s coming before he grabs your face in his hands and kisses you again, “Love you.” He mumbles which causes you to blush as he lets you go and makes his way down the stairs, disappearing from sight. “Perrie you can’t say anything to anyone.” You say before she can even say anything. “I know pet. I promise I won’t. But tell me, how do you feel about all this?” She asks and as she does you feel all warm inside thinking about actually being back together with Tom. “I’m so happy. Really, I- I didn’t think we’d work again but he kissed me and I felt everything fall into place. I’ve been so out of sync with myself these last 2 years and I think he was the reason why, I didn’t have him by my side.” You gush about Tom and you feel like a school girl with a crush. “I’m so happy for you’s.” She says and leans to hug you. “I always knew you were right for each other.” You giggle, “I hope so.” You stand up and make your way downstairs, following Perrie back into the party, you head straight outside and she heads for the bar.
The warm air hits you and you look around, you notice Tom talking to Harrison and you can’t help but smile. You walk over to the table where all the drinks are and you make a vodka and coke, taking a long gulp from the cup, you don’t notice Harrison stood behind you. “Someone tells me you’ve been up to no good.” You turn around at his words, “Shut up Haz.” You kaugh, “No, jokes aside I’m glad you’re back together. I like Zendaya, she’s a great friend but I think that’s all she’ll ever be to him; a friend.” You cant help but stare at him, watching his every move. “I hope so, I want to be with him again, so badly. He’s everything to me, it just took me 2 years to realise.” You smile at Harrison, “I’m glad you did realise though. I’ve already noticed a change in him, in just this last hour alone.” You blush and look down at your cup. “Oh he’s coming over, act natural.” Harrison jokes, “What are you two talking about?” He asks, standing next to you, “Oh nothing, just you.” You comment, “Really?” His eyebrow rises. “Yeah just how you’re perfect for me and I’m never letting you go again.” He’s cheeks turn pink and he smiles at you, “Couldn’t agree more darling.” He then notices Zendaya’s by herself for the first time, “I’m going to go and have an awkward conversation.” He coughs before walking over to her and sitting on the patio chair.
The party was nearing an end and you’d not seen Tom since your conversation with him and Harrison, in fact you hadn’t seen Harrison either. You were sat in the living room with the girls waiting for your car, you waited to find Tom and tell him you were leaving but your time was running out.
“Cars here.” Leigh-Anne says as she tiredly stands up, leaning on Jade for support. “You guys go, I’m just going to find someone and say bye.” None of them question you apart from mumbling for you to hurry up and not be too long.
You walk outside and thankfully see Tom with Jacob and Harrison, “Tom!” You shout gently across the patio, he turns to you and you wave, he smiles and excuses himself before walking over to you. “Hey darling, didn’t think you were still here.” He leans in for a kiss which surprises you, and you pull back, “Tom there are people around.” You put a hand on his chest, “There are but what’s the harm in me kissing my girl?” You eye him slightly, “You broke up with Zendaya?” He nods, “There wasn’t really anything to end, she knew things were mostly platonic and it ended nicely, I told her about you so things didn’t seem weird and she was really happy for us.” You bite your lip as you look up at him, “Really?” All he does is nod before kissing you, causing wolf whistles to sound from Harrison and Jacob. “Give it a rest you guys!” Harrison yells, causing you to pull away from Tom and laugh. “Dude.” Tom scolds as he wraps his arms around you pulling you into him.
You pull away from Tom, “I only came to say goodbye, me and the girls are leaving now.” He kisses your forehead and bobs his head, whispering in your ear, “Come back to mine.” You nod straight away without even thinking. “I’ll text the girls.”
You: to Perrie Edwards
I’m staying at Tom’s so go home without me, see you tomorrow babe xx
“Done, you ready to go now? Because these shoes are killing me.” You comment, “I am yeah. Harrison, let’s go. Jacob, see you tomorrow man.” Tom points at Jacob and they do a bro handshake mid air, some weird shit you’d never seen before, you shake your head at their antics and start walking away, dragging Tom with you, although once you exit through the front door you have to follow him because you have no clue how you’re getting back to his. “I called an Uber already so it should be here.” You cling to his hand as you walk down the hill to the gates, it was late now so there were no paparazzi outside which was nice for a change.
You see a black Range Rover pulled up and Harrison jumps in the front and you and Tom jump in the back, Harrison tells the driver the address and you’re soon driving down the streets of L.A.
“Baby.” Tom shakes you lightly and your eyes flutter open, you look around and see you’re still in the back of the car, “We’re here, you fell asleep.” You shuffle out the car, and lean against Tom you didn’t even realise you’d fallen asleep. “Thanks mate.” Harrison says to the driver as Tom unlocks the door, to his house.
It was just how you remembered, big white fence, black door, big windows, a table by the front door, with a photo of him and his parents and another of him and his brothers, one of Tessa and one of you and him, you pick it up and smile, “You kept this?” Your voice is quiet, “Of course I did.” He chucks his keys in the bowl and walks down the hall, leaving you to smile at the photo.
You follow his actions and walk down the hall to the kitchen, you’re shocked slightly when you get him talking funny, until you turn the corner and see Tessa sat by his feet.
“Oh my god.” You say and she immediately runs to you, jumping all over you, you sit down and she leaps into your lap, “Hi Tess.” You scratch her ears and kiss her head as she licks your face, you’d missed her almost as much as you’d missed Tom.
“How?” You turn to look at him, “I didn’t think she lived with you here.” He smiles as his dog gushes over you, “She didn’t. But after we broke up, I spent more and more time out here and I couldn’t live without her so I bought her out here and this is where she lives now.” You stand up and walk over to him, “I’m so happy.” He wraps his arms around you, “Me too.” You kiss his cheek before walking away and down the corridor, “Where are you going?” He questions, “To bed, I don’t know about you but I am tired!” You walk up the stairs and into the room you remember is Tom’s, again it was still the same, big bed with crisp white sheets, hard wood floors, with matching furniture, very simple but very Tom.
You unzip your dress and step out of it, taking your heels off and tying your hair up, you sigh and walk over to the drawer, taking out one of his t-shirts, “Oh I see how it is, make yourself at home love.” Tom says as he stands in the doorway watching you, “It’s like I never left.” You slip the material over your head and jump into bed, he laughs at you but follows suit, undressing down to his boxers, turning the light out and then joining you.
“This is nice, I love you. I’m so glad you came back to me.” He lays beside you, arms around your waist, head nuzzled into your neck, “I love you too. ” You snuggle down deeper into him, feeling sleep take over, you were happy again, in Tom’s arms, finally feeling at one with the world.
This is shitty I know, don’t hate me

I nominated Travis Knight, Dan Trachtenberg, Shawn Levy, Deborah Chow, Leigh Whannell or (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) The Daniels to direct the X-Men reboot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It’s funny you mention AniTV being like Marvel movies since Jake’s actor Shawn Ashmore was in the X-Men movies (which while arent part of the MCU, technically are Marvel movies)
To be clear, Shawn Ashmore is a far better actor than I will ever be.
That said... he never struck me as being one of the better actors on AniTV. Nadia-Leigh Nascimento (Cassie) and Eugene Lipinski (Visser Three) both strike me as outperforming him in their scenes together. Still, it's not Shawn Ashmore's fault that he's working off a not-great script, and only has relatively few well-written lines to deliver.
And even if IMHO he's a lackluster Bobby Drake, I can't fault him in Frozen. That is a solidly good B horror movie, and a solidly good Ashmore performance.

Discoveries, pt 7
And the final installment to this Shawn x Leigh-centric mini series! Thanks to all who enjoyed reading about these two :)
Also on AO3!
There was a myriad of memories that Shawn held close to his heart, experiences new, terrifying, wonderful. Learning, in his own flawed and determined way, the things that made him him, Shawn Shepard, a copy come to life, expanding, impossibly, impossibly, beyond the expectations of his existence. A puppet to a real man and the wonder if maybe he'd never been a puppet after all, if he'd always been the man, his own man, sensations and discoveries pressed into his skin as he learned the limits of his own body, seeing it less and less like a prison and more like a home. 
His first taste of coffee, acrid splash on his tongue and subtle buzz in his veins. His first sunset. How he hated storms but loved the rain, cool air breezing through an open window and how the world felt heavy with a liminal kind of promise. His first kiss -- as a boyfriend, as a husband.
As a father. 
Experiences imprinted in his mind and smattered against the walls and gathered on the shelves of their home. Fingerpainted masterpieces on the fridge, long nights spent holding, soothing, assuring, soft murmurs and softer music and was it any wonder, really, that their daughters would love that hum of jazz from Leigh's record player as surely as their fathers did? Dances with his husband cut by dances with their girls, feet balanced on feet and hands held for balance, and was there anything better than the laughter, the joy beaming up at him? 
Joy multiplied and extrapolated, a series of choices made in an enthusiastic repetition of yes, yes, yes. 
Yes to getting coffee with Leigh, back when Shawn was so full of uncertainty. 
Yes to that first kiss. 
Yes to marriage, to building a life together, to their home and their children and all the wonderfully complicated ways things could get messy. Learning curves, always something new, but Shawn was nothing if not a devoted student. Yes to the hand Leigh offered him, again and again, from the very start, a journey they'd taken together and continued to take, encapsulated in moments like this one:
Waking up to sunlight streaming through their window, the house quiet as the girls spent the long weekend with their uncles. Watching as those beams of light glinted against blond hair, grown out since Leigh retired from active service, streaks of white like starlight caught in threads of honey gold. Crow's feet at the corners of his eyes smoothed somewhat in sleep, eyelashes fluttering against some dream, and it was so easy to rest there a while, soothed by the easy rise and fall of his partner's chest. 
A moment weighted, heavy with the words Shawn held inside, waiting, waiting, for those blue eyes to open, for those lips to curve into their familiar smile, for the affection Leigh would aim his way that rendered him helpless in the best way possible even after all these years of marriage. These days were a gift, fragile for how easily they could have been taken away, the odds having not always been stacked in their favor. 
Shawn lowered his head to Leigh's, sweeping light kisses along his cheek, his jaw, down to the bend between neck and shoulder. A shift in his breathing but Shawn didn't stop, smiling against sleep-warmed skin. 
"You up before me?" 
Voice husky, the tease evident even as Shawn kept his attention on the next inch of skin to be kissed, and his grin widened. 
"Got impatient." 
A deep laugh, a rumble Shawn felt against his own chest where Leigh's back was pressed snug against it, and he tightened the arm he had wrapped around his husband to draw him even closer. 
"Glad I make the list of things you're willing to get up early for."
"Love, you are the only thing worth waking up early for."
Another laugh and this time Shawn glanced up, feeling that familiar flood of warmth in his veins at the look Leigh was giving him. Soft adoration, a glint of loving amusement, sunlight catching on the white-gold of his wedding band as Leigh ran his fingers through his own hair. Shawn reached for his hand, pressing kisses to the ring, to his fingers, his palm, his wrist, smirking at the goosebumps that erupted along his partner's body. 
"Is that right?" Leigh whispered, and there was a growing heat in those summer blue eyes, a heat Shawn felt echoed low in his belly. 
"It is," he agreed softly, holding his gaze as he kissed up his arm to the sensitive bend of his inner elbow. 
"Even above waffles?"
"Even above waffles."
"Even above waffles with strawberries?"
"Above those," he agreed and he shifted, easing Leigh onto his back before settling between his legs. The blankets slid down off his shoulders, pooling at his waist, largely ignored as he leaned in to capture Leigh's lips. "Above coffee, above sunrises." Another kiss, then another, deep and unhurried. 
"The only thing, huh?"
"Certainly one of the most important things." 
A quiet laugh easing into a soft sigh the lower Shawn kissed, and he savored every sound, every gasp, every murmur of breathless encouragement as he mapped out areas he'd long since become familiar with. Leigh's fingers in his hair, the quickening of his breath and the roll of his hips as he took him deep, deep, the length of him a welcome weight on his tongue. And still there was no rush, no sense of urgency, glancing up to watch the expressions flit across his husband's face and reflect, not for the first time and not for the last, at how perfect this moment was. To learn and grow and become alongside this incredible man, to see that Shawn wasn't the only one with questions and curiosities and discoveries to make. To witness Leigh open up, to laugh louder, smile wider, love deeper, to shake free of self-imposed ideas of himself and make room for who he wanted to be against the expectations of who he'd been. 
Color high in his cheeks, eyes dark, lips reddened from the kisses bitten into them. Faint marks along his collarbones where Shawn had sucked them into his skin the night before, more dotting along his torso, the insides of his thighs. Marks echoed on Shawn's own skin, reminders and promises both, less possessive than a declaration, an acknowledgement of two men sharing this journey together. 
"Shawn…" 
The bob of his Adam's apple, a lick of his lips, and Leigh's fingers tightened in Shawn's hair. "Not yet," he breathed. "Not yet." Muscles shook with the effort of stilling his hips, a tension Shawn could feel where Leigh's thighs pressed against him. 
"What do you need, love?" Voice a touch hoarse as he pulled off, trailing kisses along his swollen length. 
"You." Leigh's palm cupped his cheek and he leaned into the touch. "You. Make love to me?"
He repositioned Leigh on his side, spooning up behind him. Took his time opening him back up, ensuring he was comfortable after last night's excursions, and he pressed reassuring kisses to his shoulders as he shivered with the cold contact of lube. Kissed his neck when he pressed inside him at last, humming his approval when Leigh's hand reached up and back, tangling in Shawn's hair. 
"God…"
As unhurried as the rest of their morning, and Shawn took his time. An easy rhythm, a firm rolling of his hips, his hand trailing down Leigh's side to cup the back of his knee and adjust his leg just so, letting him thrust into him deeper, deeper, losing himself in the tight heat of Leigh's body. Admired his movement, the ripple of muscle beneath sun-kissed skin, the way he worked to match Shawn's pace, head thrown back and giving Shawn ample room to kiss, to nip, to put into practice all the things he'd learned, all the things they'd discovered together, all the ways they knew how to love each other. 
"Shawn…"
A plea, quiet and breathy, and Shawn moved his hand to gather more lube before wrapping around him, a firm grip just the way Leigh liked it. 
"Come with me, love," he murmured in his ear. "Come with me."
Hips snapping to a harder rhythm as they chased their pleasure together, tumbling headlong over the edge, and if a freshly woken Leigh was a sight to behold, it paled in comparison to the image of him now, sated and satisfied, boneless in Shawn's grip. Golden in the sunlight, as breathtaking as he'd been the first time Shawn had noticed him over two cups of spilled coffee. 
"I love you," he murmured against his lips. "I love you."
"I love you," Leigh echoed. "Happy anniversary, love."
Shawn smiled, kissing him again, and again, the words pressed from his lips to Leigh's.
And here's to many more.

Hi! I was wondering if you could put a recommendation out there? I was listening to Shawn Mendes’ song “Roses” which sorta reminds me of Wanda x reader in most books (Vision always being with Wanda and the reader trying to do what’s best for Wanda.) Now, you might look and this and be like “???okay??” But I was wondering if you know anyone who would be willing to write a Wanda x reader based off that song, thank you! Love your work!
Hello!!
Not that song being in my “Leigh Playlist” lol.
Fellow writer friends, if anyone would like to pick up this prompt. I would do it too but it would take a whileeeee. I’ve accidentally planned too many fics lol.

And Never Be Afraid Again
Pairing: Frank Iero x Female Reader Rating: Teen (for bullying/language/fighting) Requested By: None Word Count: ~5,500 Author’s Note: Hope you all enjoy some fluffy, high school AU goodness! Thank you to @mariawritesfanfic​ for the assist with writing a couple scenes for this (I can’t describe how people are posing, or be mean apparently?!)
Tumblr media
The school year had barely begun, but Frank was already bored of it. His thoughts were wrapped up in playing in his band with his friends and not in his classes or being around the douchebags that harassed him and his friends. At least it was his now his favorite time of the school day: lunch.
"I invited my friend to eat with us today. She had to change her classes around, so she has lunch this hour now too," Gerard's girlfriend Leigh announced when she arrived at the lunch table.
Frank's defensive nature immediately kicked in, not really interested in bringing someone new into their group. "We only have four chairs," he argued.
"Fine," Leigh said getting up and sitting on Gerard's lap. "Now everyone is happy," she shot Frank a saccharine smile.
"I know I am," Gerard grinned as he snaked he arms around his girlfriend's waist, pulling her closer before she leaned in and they started making out.
"I'm not," Mikey replied, sounding slightly nauseous at the sight.
"Hey guys, can I sit here?" An unfamiliar voice asked a few minutes later.
Frank looked up and it was as if time stopped when he saw the girl that had just walked up. She was so pretty and even though he didn't know her, he instantly felt the overwhelming need to protect her and keep her safe.
"Oh hey (YN), come sit down!" Leigh said when she finally came up for air. "You know Gerard, that's his little brother Mikey, and that’s their friend Frank."
(YN) nodded at each of them before sitting down with her lunch. Gerard had turned to ask Mikey about something while Leigh and (YN) started talking about a class assignment they had coming up, but Frank heard none of that. He was entranced by (YN) who was sitting next to him. He didn't even realize he was staring until a half-eaten sandwich hit him in the side of the head.
"Fuckin weirdos," Shawn shouted as he and his friends high fived and left the cafeteria. Shawn was a known bully at school, going after Frank, Gerard, and their friends for ages.
"Assholes," Frank muttered under his breath. When he looked up, he saw Leigh was holding onto (YN)'s hand protectively.
"You ok?" Gerard asked.
"Yea, I'm fine," Frank replied.
"We gotta do something to get back at them, this has been going on for too long," Gerard muttered.
"I don’t wanna get in trouble," Mikey replied.
"Yea, I don't want you guys to get in trouble either. If you're gonna fight ‘em, do it off school grounds," Leigh suggested.
"Good idea babe," Gerard replied giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Leigh then turned to (YN) and whispered something in her ear. (YN) only nodded forlornly in response and Leigh gave her hand another squeeze. Frank wanted to ask what was going on with (YN), but he didn't know her well enough yet to ask her outright, much to his frustration.
When the bell rang for the end of the period, everyone split up and started heading toward their respective classrooms, but Frank and Leigh were headed the same way.
"Hey, umm, Leigh, what's the deal with (YN)?" Frank asked.
Leigh smirked a little at him. "Why do you wanna know, Frank?"
He shrugged and shifted the weight of his backpack and tugged at his tie. "You brought her into the group all the sudden, I dunno, I wanna get to know her."
"Frank, I’ve been dating Gerard for how long, and how much do you even know about me?" Leigh asked.
"I know you love Gee, and umm, you're friends with (YN) and me and Ray and Mikey, and you like our band, and umm," he trailed off. He suddenly felt bad for not knowing more about the girl he had been hanging out with for years now and he was hoping she’d help him.
Leigh smiled. "Here," she pulled out her phone and typed something in. "I know that's what you want, but go slow with her," she advised before walking off, smirk still on her face.
Frank scrambled to pull his phone out of his pocket. The text from Leigh was just seven digits long, but it was exactly what he wanted to read.
~
Frank paced around his bedroom, phone in hand. He had spent the afternoon thinking about what he wanted to say to (YN). He had typed and deleted hundreds of messages before he accidentally hit send on one that read "hey (YN), its frank". He felt relieved it wasn’t the one that read "i think i believe in love at first sight after today".
He threw his phone onto the bed and picked up his guitar and focused on practicing the riff in the new song the band had been working on. Every few seconds though he would glance across the room to see if there was a new message.
"Fuckin chill out man," Frank muttered to himself and eventually he managed to get lost in the song. When he finally looked up, he was startled to see how much time had passed.
"Shit shit shit," he said as he scrambled to check his phone. He had two new messages, both from (YN), but both were sent just a few minutes before.
Hi Frank 🙂 Sorry it took so long to respond, I was tutoring
'God, of course she's smart, she's probably in AP classes like Leigh. Wait, that’s another thing I know about her, I'll throw that in her face tomorrow. No focus on (YN),' he thought.
Cool, what subject? He replied
English
I love english. What is your class reading?
They messaged each other back and forth about the books they were reading, then the music they were into. Even though they were just texting he could feel the passion with which (YN) talked about the things she enjoyed. It was such a welcome change from so many of the girls he tried to talk to that only cared about appearing aloof and cool.
~
The next day at school Frank found Leigh and Gerard in front of his locker as usual with Ray.
"Hey Frank," Leigh greeted him with a knowing smirk.
"Woah man, you look," Ray trailed off, as he looked his friend up and down. Frank had actually pressed his school uniform that morning, but still had his tie loose around his neck and he spent a long time making sure he got his hair just right.
"You look good," Gerard confirmed. "Who are you trying to impress?"
"Your mom," Frank snapped back.
"Clever Iero, very clever," Gerard replied rolling his eyes.
Just then he caught Leigh's eye and a realization dawned on him. She hadn't told the others, not even Gerard, that he had been asking about (YN). He appreciated her keeping it quiet. When the bell rang, everyone headed to their classes, but Frank hurried after Leigh. "Wait up," he called.
"What’s up," she asked turning to face him.
"Thanks, for not telling everyone about (YN)."
"I did it as much for her as I did for you Frank. She wouldn't want to be the center of attention for this sort of thing. I know you guys talked for a long time last night, she was so excited," Leigh smiled.
"Really?"
"Don't tell her I told you" she winked and left Frank again standing in the hall slightly stunned and with a stupid grin on his face.
~
The class periods seemed to drag on forever until lunch. He found Mikey had grabbed them a larger table in hopes of not having to watch his older brother make out with his girlfriend the entire hour. Frank sat on the bench across from Mikey and soon saw Leigh and Gerard walking up hand in hand. Gerard started walking to the side of the table Frank was sitting on, but Leigh steered him to the side next to Mikey, and moments later (YN) showed up and sat down next to Frank.
"Hey," Frank said to her, shyness suddenly overwhelming him.
"Hi," she replied, a blush creeping over her cheeks.
Frank glanced up and saw Leigh was grinning. He rolled her eyes at her and gave a quick smile at (YN) before starting in on his lunch.
"Do you guys have practice this weekend?" Leigh asked Gerard.
"Yea, you wanna come?" He asked.
"Obviously," she grinned. "(YN), you're gonna come too, right?"
"Can I?" (YN) asked, looking at the band members at the table.
"Yea, no problem," Gerard replied and Frank nodded in agreement. Mikey just shrugged.
"You're gonna love them (YN)! They put so much into their music, even the practices are exciting!" Leigh explained enthusiastically.
The rest of the lunch was spent discussing the band. When the bell rang, everyone split up, but again Frank hurried to catch up with Leigh.
"Hey, thanks for everything with (YN)," Frank said. "And sorry for not making more of an effort to get to know you. You're not just Gee's girlfriend, you're really cool."
"Thanks Frank. I just wanna see (YN) happy and you guys would be so adorable together! Are you going to ask her to homecoming?"
Frank stopped dead in his tracks. "Wait, should I? Would she want me to?"
"Ask and find out!" Leigh grinned before ducking into her classroom.
Homecoming was weeks away, so it hadn't even been on his mind, and in previous years he hadn't gone, not caring that much about a dumb dance. But suddenly (YN) had come into his life, and Frank would do whatever she wanted to make her happy.
~
It seemed to Frank anytime he wasn't around or talking to (YN) time was moving at a glacial pace, putting him on edge. He now wished when he had picked his classes he had pushed himself more to take the AP classes so he could spend more time with (YN) instead of seeing her briefly in the halls and at lunch.
By the time Saturday afternoon arrived, he felt like he was going to bounce off the walls. He arrived extra early to the Way household to help get ready for their practice session.
"(YN) and Leigh are still coming, right?" He asked nervously.
"Yea, they were gonna go to the mall to look at homecoming dresses I think," Gerard replied.
"Does (YN) have a date?" Frank asked almost frantically.
"I don't think so," Gerard shrugged. "But I know me and Leigh are gonna go. You should ask (YN) and we can all go. It would be fun."
"Did Leigh say something? About me and..." he trailed off.
"No, but it’s pretty obvious you like her," Gerard laughed.
"Shit," Frank muttered under his breath making Gerard laugh even harder.
"What's so funny?" Leigh asked as she and (YN) walked up to the open garage.
"Nothing," Frank muttered before going to plug in his guitar.
(YN) and Leigh sat down in the lawn chairs set up in the corner and the band started their practice. Frank gave it his all as they rehearsed their new song. He wanted (YN) to be impressed, and by the glances he stole, she was enjoying the performance. Her eyes were lit up and she was grinning. At one point he even got so confident he shot her a wink and she blushed feverishly.
"I'm gonna stay and hang out with Gerard for a bit, you don't mind, do you?" Leigh asked (YN) once the practice was over.
"Oh, I guess not. I'll see you guys on Monday," (YN) replied before waving and starting back up the driveway. Frank watched her go, not sure if he should have offered to give her a ride until he was being smacked in the arm.
"Go!" Leigh whispered harshly at him, pointing at (YN).
His eyes went wide, and he grabbed his guitar case and ran after her. "(YN), wait up!"
She turned she heard him run up. "Yea?"
"Wanna go grab something to eat?" The question tumbled out of his mouth before he knew what he was doing.
"Yea sure," she smiled back.
They went to his car and he mentally berated himself for not keeping it cleaner. "Sorry it’s a mess," he said when she got in.
"It’s ok," she replied, still smiling. "Where do you wanna go?"
"Umm, pizza?" He offered, trying to remember how much money he had on him.
"Sure," (YN) agreed and they were off.
Frank's stomach was in knots the whole drive to the pizza place. What if she didn’t like it? What if she didn't really like him more than a friend? Was Gerard just bullshitting him when he said he should ask (YN) to the dance?
From the other side of the car (YN)'s head was swimming with the same questions. Was this a pity date? Was this even a date at all? Leigh seemed certain he'd ask her to the dance, but what if she was just making that up? No, Leigh was a good friend, she trusted her not to do things like that.
When they arrived at the pizza place and each ordered a slice. Frank was just thankful he had enough money to cover both.
"I had been meaning to ask, why did you switch classes? I mean I'm really glad you’re in our lunch now, but," Frank shrugged.
(YN) looked down and Frank immediately regretted asking that. "Remember when Shawn threw a sandwich at you that first day I sat at your table? He was in the class I switched out of, but I guess he was skipping that day or something. He’s always teased me and stuff, but it got worse after I refused to help him cheat on a test. He’s been kinda terrorizing me since then, but I was able to get into an advanced placement class, so I switched."
Frank was livid, but also dumbstruck. "What an asshole! Fuck him for trying to cheat off you, and how could someone make fun of you? You're so smart and pretty and interesting! You get so excited about everything you love and so many people are afraid to do that!”
(YN) shrugged. “I dunno. That’s why I never really tried to hang out with anyone until Leigh started talking to me. I didn’t really trust that people would be genuinely nice to me.”
“I’m so sorry (YN), you don’t deserve that,” Frank apologized, reaching out and squeezing her hand. “Gee was right, we should fight those assholes."
"What? No, you don't have to get in a fight for me!"
"I just hate the thought of anyone being mean to you because I like you so much," he confessed and as soon as the words left his mouth his eyes again went wide and he wanted to crawl under the table and die. He covered his face with his hands so he wouldn’t see when (YN) inevitably got up and left.
"I've never liked anyone who liked me back," she said softly, almost in awe.
Frank looked up and (YN) was grinning at him. "So, since I'm on a roll here, do you wanna go to homecoming with me?"
(YN) nodded emphatically at him. "Yes! I'd love to!”
Frank and (YN) spent a while longer together at the pizza place before they got up to leave. As they walked to the door, (YN)’s hand brushed against Frank’s a couple times before she took a deep breath and grabbed his hand. Frank looked down at her and squeezed her hand. When they got into the car, (YN) gave him directions back to her house and when they pulled up out front, he got out and walked her to the front door.
“I’m really glad this afternoon worked out,” she smiled.
“Me too. So, I’ll talk to you later then,” Frank said feeling slightly awkward again. Leigh’s words rang through his head, warning him to take it slow with (YN). Instead of leaning in to try to kiss her, he held out his arms to instead give her a hug. When (YN) wrapped her arms around him, he was overwhelmed by how perfect she felt against him, and he didn’t want to let go.
(YN) buried her face against the crook of Frank’s neck. She didn’t want to let him go. She wanted to memorize every part of this moment. She wanted to remember how he smelled, how his hands felt on her back, how warm he was. When she pulled back, he placed a quick peck on her cheek before giving her an awkward smile that made her giggle.
“Night (YN),” he called as he walked back to his car.
“Night Frank,” she replied before going inside.
~
“Do you think I look ok?” (YN) asked turning in the mirror.
“Absolutely! You look amazing! Frank is gonna be speechless,” Leigh grinned from where she was sitting on the bed putting on her shoes. Leigh had come over to help (YN) do her hair and make up for the dance and the boys were on their way over to pick them up.
(YN) turned again, examining the black off the shoulder lace dress with long sleeves, and a skirt that ended at her knee. It wasn’t often that she felt confident in what she was wearing, which is why was relieved to go to a school that required uniforms, but the longer she looked, the more excited and confident she felt.
“Girls, your dates are here!” (YN)’s mom called from the bottom of the stairs.
“Hang on, I wanna go first, I wanna see Frank’s reaction when he sees you!” Leigh said jumping up.
(YN) nodded and smiled before the girls took a moment to squeal with excitement before Leigh calmed herself, smoothed out the skirt of her red dress, and walked out. (YN) took a few deep breaths and listened to the reaction downstairs from her doorway. Gerard was gushing over Leigh and (YN) smiled, loving how much they adored each other.
“Come on (YN)!” Leigh called out. (YN) took another breath, nerves suddenly overwhelming her, and she stepped out of her room and headed down the stairs. Her heart was hammering in her chest when she made eye contact with Frank. He was looking at her with a look of adoration and awe.
“Oh, honey you look amazing,” her mother gushed.
“Yea, wow (YN) you look really nice!” Gerard complimented.
“Thanks,” (YN) replied to both, and then turned to Frank, who was still staring at her.
“Told ya he’d be speechless,” Leigh laughed.
“I, no, wow, (YN), yea,” he stammered. “Beautiful,” he finally said and (YN) giggled.
“Thanks Frank. You look really handsome,” she replied, blushing. He was wearing a black button-down shirt with a black tie.
“I got you this,” he said holding up a red rose corsage and (YN) slipped it on her wrist.
“Ok, photo time!” (YN)’s mom announced while ushering everyone into the living room. “Now, Frank you are going to stand here,” she said guiding him where she wanted him in front of the fireplace, “and dear, stand here,” she said to her daughter, instructing her to stand next to Frank. “Now, put your arms around her waist, don’t be nervous!” Frank put his arms around (YN) and she could feel Frank tense behind her. “Now, dear place your hands on top of his.” (YN) moved her hands so they were on top of Frank’s.
(YN)’s mom took a step back. “Oh, how cute!” She announced before she started taking photos. Leigh and Gerard were giggling at their friends’ awkward pose and snapping photos as well.
Despite the awkward moment, (YN) realized how genuinely happy she felt and started to giggle. The laughter was apparently contagious, as behind her she could feel Frank relax and then start to laugh a little as well. Soon they were both laughing, and he had wrapped his hands around her more snugly and pulled her against him.
“That’s the shot we’ve been waiting for!” Leigh called from the back of the living room.
“Isn’t it your turn yet?” Frank asked between laughs.
“Yes, you two come in as well,” (YN)’s mom said ushering Leigh and Gerard to come stand next to the others. Gerard and Leigh were much more comfortable posing together and after a few more combinations of photos, it was time to leave.
“Sorry I couldn’t say anything when you came down, Leigh was right, I was totally speechless,” Frank laughed when they got into the car.
“That’s ok, it made me feel special,” (YN) laughed as well.
“You are special (YN). And beautiful!” Frank exclaimed. “Anyone who can’t see that is crazy.”
(YN) blushed and fiddled with the corsage on her wrist. “Thanks Frank. I mean for giving me a chance and not treating me like a weirdo like almost everyone else does.”
For a moment, a wave of anger washed through Frank. No one in the world deserved to be made to feel like their interests or their talents weren’t important, especially not someone like (YN). He wanted to pulverize the assholes that made her feel like she was anything other than the best thing in the world.
When they pulled up to a stoplight, Frank grabbed (YN)’s hand and looked in her eyes. “(YN), you just point me in the direction of anyone who makes you feel bad and I’ll knock some sense into them. I’d do anything for you, you’re my girl.”
(YN) felt like she was going to start crying happy tears. She had spent so long being lonely, now she had so many friends, cool friends at that, and a boy that cared about her. She didn’t think that if she even went to homecoming that she’d go alone, but she had a date who bought a corsage and her mom seemed to like him too.
“Thank you, Frank. Really, thank you,” she smiled at him and sniffled. Suddenly from behind them Gerard was honking his horn. “Oh, the light is green,” she laughed.
After dinner, they arrived at the dance shortly after it began. The gymnasium was decorated with twinkle lights and streamers, and full of their classmates dressed to the nines.
“Now what do we do?” Frank asked nervously.
“We go get some snacks and we watch people dance stupidly, and then when a song we like comes on, we dance stupidly,” Leigh explained, leading the way to the snack table.
“We don’t have to dance if you don’t want to,” (YN) said as she and Frank followed Gerard and Leigh.
“We can do whatever you want,” Frank smiled at her as they crossed the gym.
The group found a spot in the corner to chat and watch their classmates, and eventually Ray arrived with his date Christa. When a fast song came on, the girls all rushed to the dance floor to dance, while the guys hung back and watched.
“God, I love Leigh,” Gerard said. “How did a bunch of losers like us get so lucky to get girls like them?” And all the guys laughed and nodded in agreement.
“Are you and (YN) serious?” Ray asked Frank.
“I’d like to be, she’s amazing,” he replied dreamily. “But I haven’t even kissed her yet.”
“Why not?” Gerard asked.
“Because unlike you, my girl is not my only source of oxygen,” Frank retorted.
“You think that now, just wait,” Gerard replied knowingly.
On the dance floor, there was a similar conversation going on between the girls as they danced.
“What are you guys going to do after the dance?” Christa asked the others.
“My parents are out of town, so Gerard is staying over,” Leigh grinned.
“I just want Frank to kiss me,” (YN) sighed.
“Wait, he hasn’t even kissed you yet? Haven’t you gone out a few times?” Leigh asked.
“Yea we have, but nope. No kiss,” (YN) shrugged.
“Oh, shit, that might be my fault actually,” Leigh replied nervously.
“Wait, why?”
Leigh bit her lip. “I, umm, told him to take things slow with you, but I didn’t think he’d go that slow.”
(YN) laughed with relief. “I’m just glad its not that he doesn’t like me!”
“Oh no, we can all tell he likes you!” Christa smiled.
“Just take matters into your own hands!” Leigh nodded.
(YN) nodded resolutely as the song ended and a slow song began. She looked around and spotted Frank crossing the floor to her and she couldn’t help the grin spreading across her face.
“Wanna dance?” he asked nervously.
“Yea,” she nodded. He put his hands on her waist and she draped her arms over his shoulders. She watched as Ray and Christa swayed together, completely oblivious to everyone around them. Then she spotted Leigh and Gerard, he was holding her close and looking down at her lovingly as she played with the hair at the nape of his neck. Leigh leaned in and kissed Gerard and (YN) couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.
But then she looked back at Frank who smiled at her softly and she smiled back, and her heart skipped a beat. Things with Frank were amazing, and they would happen in their own time.  She took a step closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder. He placed a kiss on her temple.
The DJ saved the slowest songs for last and at the end of the night the couples all went their separate ways. (YN) and Frank laughed and chatted the whole way back to her house until he parked the car.
“Thanks again for the amazing night Frankie,” (YN) said when they got to the front door.
Frank blushed at the new nickname she had given him, and it only made him more resolute in what he wanted to ask her. “I’m glad you had fun,” he replied sweetly. “Umm, I know we’ve gone out a few times now and I really like you a lot. Can I call you my girlfriend?”
“That would be great,” (YN) replied with a grin, then she bit her lip. It was now or never. She glanced at Frank’s lips and leaned in and Frank took the hint, reaching up and caressing her cheek gently just before their lips met. Frank’s heart was hammering in his chest. He couldn’t believe this beautiful girl had agreed to be his girlfriend and was kissing him after a wonderful night together. (YN) was smiling as she wrapped her arms around him.
It felt like it had been forever when they finally pulled back. “Wow,” she murmured.
“You’re so amazing (YN),” Frank smiled down at her.
“Right back at you Frankie,” she replied. “I guess I should go in, I’ll talk to you tomorrow ok?”
Frank nodded before stealing another quick kiss from her. “Goodnight babe.”
“Night,” she grinned as she slipped inside the house.
Frank made his way back to his car, with a grin on his face that just wouldn’t fade.
~
The next couple weeks were some of the best (YN) had experienced since she started high school. She and Frank were joined at the hip whenever they could be, and she enjoyed going out on double dates with their friends. My Chemical Romance even had their first real show, and she, Leigh and Christa were in the front row, cheering their hearts out for their favorite band.
The wonderful series of events came to an abrupt halt one morning. (YN) was standing at her locker grabbing the books for her next class when she heard laughing. She knew that laugh. It was Shawn and his crew.  
“Well look who we have here,” Shawn grinned as he slammed her locker shut and the rest of the crew surrounded her.
“Shawn, please leave me alone, I’m trying to get to class.”
“I bet you are,” Shawn leaned closer to her. “Always trying to get to class like the good little girl that you are.”
YN could feel her face getting warm as she tried to push her way pass.
“Where are you going, bitch? I didn’t say you could leave.” Shawn reached out and grabbed YN’s arm which caused her to drop her books and threw her back into the lockers, which caused everyone in the hallway to look at them. “You think you are better than everyone all because of your grades? You had no problem letting me get fucked over in history class, and now I’m on academic probation from the lacrosse team. You are nothing, whore. You are nothing more than just a good little slut who needs a good dick to really teach her a lesson.”
YN couldn’t help herself as she felt the tears well up in her eyes. She closed her eyes tight and wished he would just disappear.
“That’s right, you won’t do anything, but cry like the little bitch you are.”
“But I will,” Frank said from behind Shawn.
Shawn turned to find Frank, fists clenched, jaw set. “What are you gonna do about it, dweeb?”
“After school I’m gonna kick your ass at Manor Park.”
“Frankie,” (YN) started to object.
“4 PM, we’ll be there,” Shawn replied before pushing past Frank, his friends following suit.
As soon as they were gone, Frank rushed to (YN). “(YN) are you ok? Did he hurt you?” He asked brushing away the tears on her cheeks, his eyes searching hers.
“Yea, I was just scared. Please don’t fight him, I don’t want you to get hurt!”
“He deserves to get his ass kicked. He’s been terrorizing you for ages and it ends today! I can take him.”
“There’s no way I’m gonna change your mind, huh?”
“None at all babe,” he smiled. “Come on, I’ll walk you to class.”
~
It was almost 4 PM and Frank stood alone in the shelter in the park. He told (YN) not to come, he didn’t want her to worry. He heard voices and turned to see if it was Shawn, but instead saw Gerard, Mikey and Ray coming up the sidewalk.
“What are you guys doing here?” Frank asked.
“(YN) told Leigh you were gonna fight Shawn, we’re here for back up,” Gerard replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
“Thanks guys,” Frank replied.
Suddenly the sound of a car speeding up the street grabbed their attention. They watched as Shawn and his crew piled out and stalked across the grass.
“Brought your freak friends for back up? Fucking coward. You wanna back down now and go cry to your little bitch of a girlfriend, Iero?” Shawn taunted.
“You brought your crew too, you fucking idiot. And I’m gonna make you wish you never even looked at (YN),” Frank snapped back.
Both sides squared up to each other, staring the other side down, daring them to make the first move.
“Fuck this,” Frank finally muttered and launched himself at Shawn, his first punch landing square on his nose. This action set everyone off, fists being thrown on each side. Frank got Shawn down on the ground, throwing punch after punch at the bully. Shawn finally swung back and connected with Frank’s eye, knocking him back. Having Frank off him was enough for Shawn to scramble to his feet.
“Come on, lets get away from these freaks,” he spat, blood running down his face which was already swollen and bruised. The rest of Shawn’s friends were equally beaten, apparently having underestimated the bandmates.
“You guys alright?” Frank asked, looking back at his friends. Ray was the worst off, looking like he had gotten a bad cut on the head, and Mikey had a blood nose. Gerard had a bloody nose as well but was grinning devilishly.
“That was fucking awesome!” Gerard exclaimed. “I’ve never felt so alive!”
“Guys, are you ok?” The gang turned and saw (YN) and Leigh running across the park. “Oh my god, you’re all bloody!” (YN) exclaimed as she rushed to Frank, gently touching the bruising skin by his eye. Leigh hurried to Gerard and he pulled her in for a kiss. Mikey just rolled his eyes.
“Frank kicked Shawn’s ass!” Ray exclaimed.
“I don’t think he’s ever gonna bother you again babe,” Frank smiled down at (YN). She reached up and pressed her lips against his and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Come on, let’s get you cleaned up,” (YN) said when she pulled back, resting her forehead against Frank’s.
Leigh finally came up for air from her kiss with Gerard. “My house is around the corner, let’s go back there.”
Everyone turned to follow Leigh, except Frank, who took (YN)’s hand. “(YN) hang on,” he said, his voice tinged with nervousness.
“What’s wrong Frank?” she asked, looking concerned.
“Nothing, I just wanna tell you, umm… I’d fight anyone for you. Any day, any time. I’d do anything for you (YN) because I really love you,” he said, his eyes on the ground.
“Frankie,” she started, and he looked up. “I love you too, so much! But please, no more fights, not for a long time,” she giggled.
Frank grinned and pulled her to him again, their lips connecting, both smiling.
“Are you lovebirds coming?” Gerard shouted from the distance, and they pulled back.
“Come on, let’s go catch up with them,” (YN) said, taking Frank’s hand and they hurried to meet up with their friends.

I absolutely LOVE how you write the relationships (platonic & romantic 🥰) between The Almosts ♥️ so what relationships from tv shows/movies/books have inspired the group dynamics between Josh, Chris, Sam & Ash? :D
awww ty!!! i love these four so much ughghghGHGHGH and man oh man this is a big question…as evidenced by the fact that i literally had to sleep on it before answering, hahaha!
under a cut just so i’m not clogging everyone’s dashes with my many, MANY adjectives…
so the (almost)s is just…wrought with pop culture references, most of them horror, most of them used in a joking way, so really dissecting all the different influences and inspirations for these geeks is a bit of an undertaking, hahaha!!
this list might be bizarre.
i make no apologies.
honestly and genuinely, one of the biggest influences for everyone’s dynamics in this fic is……..well, me and my real-life friends! MINUS. THE. DRAMA!!!!! (well maybe a little of the drama, but that’s a story for another day) i’m not gonna sit here and try to pretend like i don’t project like WHOA onto the ud kids, and i’ve found that sometimes the best way to really make characters’ relationships seem real is to…well…pull from real life! so when the gang’s sitting around playing phone games or arguing about movies or going on and on about weird hypotheticals, that’s me and my buds 100%, BABYYY - to the point that i have a little collection of drabbles on my ao3 specifically about the dorks doing things based on weird shit my friends and i get up to, lol! now, when they’re all screaming at each other? less me and my friends, and more OTHER stuff.
but when you split them up into tinier permutations, there are just…a lot of different influences that i draw from…and to be honest, originally i was trying to answer this by splitting them up into ALL the possible groups and dissecting EACH of those, and lord help me that’s just. that’s just a whole new novel.
so to be a little more concise, some of the MAJOR influences for the gang’s dynamics are things like:
(note: just because i’m using a / doesn’t mean NECESSARILY that i’m talking about the ship or romantic dynamics, just those characters interacting in general)
-boy meets world (this one is HUGE, for real. just. huge.): mostly cory/shawn and cory/topanga -the haunting of hill house: the whole-ass crane family. they’re just. voila. it’s them. -harry potter (because i’m a 90s baby and everything has a little soupçon of harry potter in it babyyyyy): harry/hermione stuff mostly, but all sorts of character relationships there apply-the x-files (again, 90s baby): mulder/scully OBVS-silent hill (specifically 2 and 4): james/maria and henry/eileen-stephen king’s it: the losers club. THE LOSERS CLUB!!!!!-stephen king’s christine: arnie/dennis/leigh-house of leaves: much like with haunting of hill house, just the whole fuckin’ navidson family
they all play a very special part in the stew that is the almosts, hahahaha!!!
