alright i’m curious, what’s your cinderella hate essay
i got 2 asks for this and i dont want to disappoint The People…
also im putting this under a readmore because it got too long. im sorry for ranting about jojo's bizarre adventure. can you forgive my sins....
TLDR; cinderella (stand) is a love potion, love potions are nonconsensual and not compelling. it rips koichi of his free will, and yukako is able to manipulate him, without any pushback or consequences. there's no growth!!! araki still cannot write women!!!
also aya sucks too. cringe episode. cringe arc.
im so sorry for this incoming text wall
i think the first thing that's really important that i need to get out of the way first is that cinderella's ability IS a love potion. like straight up. and obviously love potion stories are creepy and unconsensual
when i say this, people tend to push back against the idea but its true. how else would you categorize it? koichi would not give yukako the time of day pre-cinderella, even for a second, and in the anime was even seen RUNNING AWAY FROM HER in fear when he saw her on the streets 😭.. and then, suddenly after yukako visits aya once, he is being kind to her. even worried about her. and willing to go to the cafe with her alone.
he is apparently so 'in love' with yukako that he decides to potentially GO BLIND FOR HER??? HUH??? these kids know NOTHING ABOUT EACH OTHER BTW!!! they have no common interests. in their first interactions, yukako thought he was a lying cheater who she needed to fix. and koichi literally hated her, and was terrified of her. she stressed him out so hard that he thought he killed his own stand
like, koichi is incredibly kind and forgiving, but literally nothing in their relationship changed so that he would be comfortable even being near her. its just too sudden. last time they were interacting, koichi was telling her that he hated her and complaining that she "never listens to anything [he says]". she has this pattern of ignoring his opinions and feelings... and it obviously didnt end in yukako falls in love.
also this line:
Tumblr media
[Image ID: a picture of diu's official manga translation. aya tsuji is saying, "you're mistaken. in his heart, i'm sure that koichi has fallen in love with you. but his rational mind is still resisting you" /.End ID]
girl "his rational mind"??? you mean the mind that isn't attracted to her in any way.. who remembers the abuse, and how unwilling to change she is 😭
the existence of this arc erases any interesting character growth that yukako could have had. she goes from telling koichi that "i will make you love me, if i can't have you, i'll just kill you, you belong to me" etc etc etc, to "ok, maybe i don't need him after all" at the end of her initial episodes. and then suddenly she regresses back to "actually i do want him" and then she gets him, with no substantial growth on her end.
she isnt kidnapping him this time which is good i guess, but she continues to ignore koichi's free will and agency by "bending fate" so that they can be together. that's just not ok to me
but i think the reason why im so reactive to yukako's situation, and not someone similar like rohan, is that irl mangakas DON'T steal your memories for manga material (i'm pretty sure). but people ARE abused by their romantic partners. yukako's abuse is cartoonish, making koichi eat paper and erasers and building him an electric chair, but its still uncomfortable (especially considering she ends up with him in the end).
Tumblr media
[Image ID: a cap from the jojo manga. yukako says, "and you'll thank me. you'll realize that you need me. you won't be able to go on living without me." koichi is sweating and looks shocked and angry /.End ID]
i also feel like people don't seem to take domestic abuse as seriously with women perpetrators. we girlbossify them instead. it all just feels so icky to me, i cant shake it.
everything is made worse by the fact that araki CANNOT!!! write women or f/m relationships well in early-mid era jojo. rohan, tamami and others in the koichi fanclub have clear character arcs, they get better. yukako just doesn't. or at least it isnt enough
aya tsuji is also a flop of a character as well.. i've never heard anyone talk about this, maybe just out of discomfort, but she seems like a predatory lesbian trope. there are a few scenes where she is touching yukako inappropriately or ogling her (and i know with araki's art, it's hard to remember, but she's 16!). it's honestly just so uncomfortable i hate it lol. it's a shame bc i love seeing stand users who aren't attacking the protags, and instead just use their stand for their jobs… but again. araki cant write women. at least women can actually have stands without dying now. but we are far from stone ocean... we'll get there eventually....
ok tbh i have more thoughts but i think for all of our sanity im going to end it here. also my browser glitched and deleted some of this so i wanna be done with it
listen. if you ship them thats fine, really i cant stop you, though i'd recommend thinking about the implications a little harder. yknow. maybe you could rewrite canon so its not incredibly creepy. bc araki flops sometimes and it is perfectly moral to correct him (i do it all the time!!!!!!!)
and for the people who make abuse jokes with them: you get no bitches. also tell your dad to stop calling me and sending me money, its really desperate and i already have enough boyfriends. its embarrassing

So how about you tell me a bit about what you're upto? What's going on in your campaigns this week? :3
This week nothing, because I have been busy with real life, I didn’t have time to prepare. ^^’ But I can tell you what happened in the last sessions up to this point!
The quarantine story arc started with everybody going to a student fashion show. Alexia and Isa had been invited to be models, but once there and with a few events, both Permid and Lyn also asked to join. However, in the middle of it, they realized their tech wizard Raph was... not online. Which was impossible : Raph is ALWAYS online! They tried to contact people in Saclay and couldn’t get anybody. Worried, they drove with a few other people from Saclay, over to a secret entrance. (I took some liberty with reality, based around the historical fact that there are aquaduct networks that used to bring water from Saclay to Versaille’s castle for the fountains of the palace. :) ) Using those tunnels, they managed to get inside... All of Saclay was under a severe quarantine : no radio, no internet, no phone lines... Everything was cut off. Knowing this had to be about the magical events happening around town, the group realized they would be hunted down sooner or later. In any case, Salin and Saka (both from Mira) coulldn’t be found by the government, so they offered to get a few of the kids and go over to the other world, Mira, to hid in there for a week or so until the search let up.
Saka, Isa, Lyn and Permid agreed to go with Salin to Mira, while Ivan and Alexia decided to stay to keep an eye on things and protect who needed it. They also had not heard about Damiana in a while...
The A team, in Mira, landed at the White tower as usual, where Master Kavoleg was in the middle of a meeting with representants of each nation, informing them about the existence of Earth, and the imminent crisis it faced of having magical resurface, all unsupervised and without direction. After most left, they met the Human representant of this council :
Tumblr media
He seemed very curious about this new human-only world with no magic. They all discussed the current state of things, and the worry that if there was already a military presence during this “quarantine”, things might be a little difficult to resolve peacefully...
Still, since they had a week of down time, Saka asked to start looking for his missing brother, Sisik, that had last been since just before the whole thing. They headed to the port town where he had been seen last, and started looking. They heard about the fact that Sisik was looking into disappearances that seemed to target specifically magic users, and just as they exited the building, someone tried to get saka alone in an alleyway. While Isa was 100% here to help, Saka and Permid saw right through it, and managed to stop the kidnapping attempt peacefully (I will never say enough how proud I am of my players for going out of their way to not be murder hobos! ;W;)
They learned that those kidnappers had no real idea who they worked for, they were just there to subdue people and pass them over to someone else, and got a better cut if the people were magic users. They handed the kidnappers to the town’s guard, and Saka immediately stormed out, realizing that this was a serious issue, and his brother might be somewhere in there. He went to the Axis outpost, and was told that if he could provide something that belonged to Sisik, they could attempt to locate him.
Which meant They had to go back to Saka’s home, in Iridescence, the land of dragonborns. A place he had avoided at any cost for three years... Still, for his brother, he pushed through and went, with the others in tow. It didn’t take very long for his anxiety to return to be explained, as they ran into his ex-lover, Zahz. Apparently their relationship had been toxic, between Zahz’s abuse of control, and Saka’s desperation to be loved at any cost, and the break-up had been messy. But it had been enough of a shock that Zahz had decided to work on himself, or at least start the process to become a better person. The two awkardly reconnected, wary of falling into old habits but still very much in love with the other. Saka also visited his parents again after 3 years, and after some scolding for not giving news himself, he was given one of Sisik’s baby teeth to help locate him.
The process didn’t seem to go through, until Permid realized the problem was that Sisik was in a different plane of existence. With Salin’s help, they devised a spell to locate the plane in which Sisik was being held, and once they had this information, they adapted the locate spell to be able to reach Sisik. They very quickly realized he was in the Underdark (which I THOUGHT was a different plane for some reason, so woops, now the Underdark is a different plane in my world. XD), and that his magic had been drained from him to the point of leaving him barely alive. There was also mention of a Wish spell, that left Permid very worried... Saka on the other end focused on the fact that magic drain at this degree was not only against the Axis’ codes, but also a warning sign of a potential catastrophy about to happen. He made a report to his superior in the Axis, and called for backup. They agreed to start organizing a strike team to take this threat down and save the captured civilians, giving the group a few days to get ready before the attack while they located precisely where the prison was.
Lyn, Isa and Permid had a moment of hesitation : they came here to hide for a while, not to be part of a strike team and potentially kill people! Salin reminded them that they always had the opportunity to leave if they wanted, but she would be doing everything she could to keep them safe and away from the main battle. In the end, they decided to stay and assist Saka. -Which Salin was very glad for, as it would force Saka to hold back to keep them safe too, keeping him from putting himself in danger recklessly like he had a tendency to. A little bit of manipulation Zahz reproached her later, but to each their way of keeping their friends safe. ;)
The B team had their own adventure in the meantime! :) As a doctor, Ivan realized very quickly that the Tieflings under his care were being brought to a field hospital the government had put in place, away from prying eyes, essentially in a temporary military base. VERY unhappy about this, he started organizing a passive resistance with the nurses and other doctors, while making sure he could go to said hospital and visit the tieflings himself.
Damiana, who had started showing tiefling traits, had been kept in her own room without any phone or internet for a week now by her very religious grandmother, in the hopes of forcing the devil out of her. All it did was push her to escape her house once she heard that her family wanted to send her to a covenant essentially, so god could help her repent. None of that for Dami, thank you! She eventually found her way to the student dorms, and was given a place to stay for the moment, and a way to disguise herself to look like she used to.
On her side, Alexia had been keeping an eye on her and her patron’s territory : the school. To their credit, the military presence here wasn’t abusive, just checking for anybody’s ID as they passed by. Soon, though, a different kind of government official showed up, walking straight to her : enter Special Agent Dyla Ross, that I’ve spoken about at length already. XD He presented himself, and asked Alexia, as a person of interest, to follow him to the field camp. There, a small firing squad suddenly appeared, weapons trained on her, and got ready to fire. Alexia decided to protect herself with mage armor, while Ivan (who was just coming back from the field hospital and saw his student in danger) rushed over, projecting an illusion in front of her for added protection. The weapons clicked, unloaded from the start, and the firing squad moved back into their hiding spot while Dylan casually walked back in. This had been a test to see what their first reflex to danger was : if they had attacked the firing squad, it would have looked very bad for them, but instead they chose to be safe. He then got them both into his office and got as much information from them as he could. Ivan being very forthcoming and open with information, even helpful, seemed to surprise Dylan deeply, but he appreciated it. There was only one attempted lie, that Dylan dissuaded quickly. Ivan offered to send Peter his way, since the vampire was originally from Mira, to get more intel on the new world.
The next day, Alexia and Damiana met a new friendly face over breakfast : Tethys, an exchange student that seemed to also have magic abilities. Shortly after, Dylan showed up again, offering to drive the kids over to the atomic research facility next to the Synchrotron to test out some theories about magic. Under the supervision of Archeon White talon, Permid’s dad and local scientist, they set up different dummies and tries spells on them. Everything was recorded in any ways science knew how : heat, motion, air displacement, visual, slow motion... After a few shots, Dylan got on the field and asked to be fired at with magic. Everybody immediately protested, but he insisted. He tried to use deflect missile on a few things, quickly realizing he could not actually catch magic, and after a round of test got himself healed on camera for the record.
They then drove to Ivan’s house (because Dylan wanted to try and see Peter again), where the doctor and Dylan spoke some more while the team welcomed a second new face : Shanti! :) Recently turned tiefling too, plagued by voices in her mind for a while, Shanti got to meet Omnideus and become a cleric like Ivan. They caught her and tethys up to speed, and everybody turned in for the day.
Next day! :D While Shanti was getting used to the new house, Oni came by the see if she needed anything (since he’s been adopted more or less by the Standons, and is still looking for purpose). After a short talk, shanti noticed Omnideus staring ominously in the direction of the school, and they both hurried there. At school, a fire alarm had gone off, and Alexia, Dami and Tethys started evacuating, when Alexia was informed by her patron that something bad was going on. They quickly realized there was a student in distress, in the middle of a wild magic surge, unfortunately wrecking havoc on the school ground as she looked for help. They got there, along with Shanti while Oni kept the military forces from doing anything stupid and making things worse. Damiana figured out that they needed to help the student focus on a spell to expel the excess magic, and with reassuring words and a comforting, confident presence, they helped her calm down enough to cast a spell, resolving the surge as peacefully as they could. (Rip school windows) And guess who showed up! :D Dylan, again, having heard that something was going on at the school. He took in the situation, forced to recognize that these kids knew what they were doing. He also confronted Alexia about things she was not telling him on purpose, and as a show of what her patron could do, she made the statue right behind her brandish its stone cane straight at Dylan’s face, not touching him but barely. (Dylan had to recognize that yeah, ok, she was being honest about her patron being In the statue...)
He then told them to all come at the field camp tonight, as they needed to discuss how to handle this whole situation, and make a proper plan before his superior, the General in charge of the quarantine, showed up to demand a report and a plan of action.
And that’s it! :D So next time will be a big session : between storming the underdark fortress and deciding on what the world should know of what’s going on here, big things are going to happen, as we reach this arc’s finale! :D And after that.. Beach episode on Mira! ;) (And then we move to the next and final story arc! ;) )

Winter Weebwatch #5
After last week’s surprisingly bad bunch of episodes, this week’s episodes are surprisingly good! There was also no Darwin’s Game this week, probably because it got pre-empted by a sporting event, but to be honest, I don’t think anybody was especially crying out for another three paragraphs of me struggling to remember what happened in it.
Also, there is a huge trigger warning for discussions of suicide, both in fiction and in real life on this post, specifically in the ID: Invaded review.
In/Spectre
Tumblr media
★★★★☆
So, this episode was cruising along for an easy three stars for most of its runtime. Continuing on the Steel Girder Nanase storyline, the episode sees Kotoko and Saki simultaneously deciding to hate each other and deciding that they need to work together to decipher the truth behind Steel Girder Nanase, who they believe to be the ghost of an idol, Haruka Nanase, who was accused of murder and subsequently was found crushed by a steel girder, her face unrecognisable and even her teeth unidentifiable, the body only identified by virtue of carrying Nanase’s identification.
… Just so we’re all absolutely on the same page here, next episode is definitely going to reveal that Nanase murdered someone else to fake her own death, and that Steel Girder Nanase is actually some poor woman who was her victim, right? Right.
But anyway, this episode settles into a nice, consistent tone, sets up a fun and legitimately intriguing supernatural mystery, and seems all set to make its way to a satisfactory conclusion in one or two episodes, probably.
What elevates it to four stars, though? The fairly throwaway joke in which a fully animated opening sequence for a completely fictional magical girl show, complete with an original and fully vocalised song, plays, and ruthlessly satirises the far-right, taking shots at capitalism, militarism, and the police and justice system.
It’s a joke that doesn’t fit the tone of the rest of the series at all, but it’s so unapologetically vicious while also making me laugh out loud that I had to add an extra star for it. I just had to.
ID: Invaded.
Tumblr media
★★★★★
Honestly, I wavered on whether this should be a four star or a five star. If I could do half stars, it’d be four and a half, but I think it edges out five.
This episode switches gears a little. With the Gravedigger killed, and the woman who was manipulating him into his murders arrested, Sakaido dives into the woman’s mental world, hoping to figure out exactly what caused her to turn to murder, and why murder in such a specific, gruesome, and sadistic way.
And he fails completely.
The story tempts us with just enough information that we can start forming the half-baked foundations of a hypothesis, but not enough that we can actually form any kind of cohesive theory. We see in the woman’s mental world that she is stuck as a child, endlessly riding a train that’s going in circles, each loop having it cross the train crossing where her mother committed suicide. We see that her victims are gathered at said crossing, waiting patiently to cross. And we see that her accomplice, the man she had killing for her, is present on the train as well, as a young boy very far removed from the blank, not-all-there man we’ve seen up to that point. We see Kaeru, usually representing the murder victims, in this mental world is presented as a suicide victim, having removed her shoes and asked the woman to wipe off her wounds before expiring in a seat at the end of the train.
But we never get enough to build any kind of meaning out of it. The show deliberately withholds closure from us, mirroring the woman’s lack of closure over her mother’s suicide (why did she decide to do it, and why do it by throwing herself in front of a train she knew her daughter was riding?), telling us that we will only ever have a handful of puzzle pieces and no way to piece them together.
I admit, that affected me pretty deeply. As someone who obsesses over puzzles and especially over the whys and wherefores of why people do things, whose lowered empathy response means that figuring people out is often a maddening struggle, the show presenting a puzzle that can’t be solved is infuriating. But more than that, as someone who has had a friend commit suicide, leaving no note and providing almost no indication beforehand that he was going to, I’m familiar with the bewilderment that can follow something like that, the attempts to piece together a cause-and-effect that makes sense.
This episode kind of got to me. I’m not sure I liked that it did.
‘Not having enough information’ is the running theme of this episode, anyhow, as the rest of the investigation team takes some time to discuss the recurring appearance of John Walker, a mysterious man in a red frockcoat who has appeared in five separate killers’ mental worlds (and who appears also in the woman’s, as a reflection in the train window). As they talk, they realise all they know is a baffling mess of contradictions about him: Nobody has ever seen him in real life, and yet the fact that five different people dreamed him up wearing the same bright red coat means he must be going around wearing what is basically American War of Independence cosplay; there seems to be no single link between the killers who have him in their mental worlds, and yet there are strange coincidental links; none of the killers remember who he is, but all of them have extremely strong recollections of him.
The end of the episode pulls another gutpunch on us, as Hondomachi, having killed the Gravedigger in seeming self defence earlier in the episode, finally gets her wish to be trained to dive into people’s mental worlds -- only for Hayaseura, her boss and the man who recommended her, to tell her that it’s not enough to have just killed, you have to be a serial killer, something he knows that she is. While we obviously saw her murder someone (by provoking them into attacking her and then framing it as self-defense) earlier in this episode, Hayaseura also points out something that I’d dismissed at the time and completely forgotten about: That in the very first episode, before Hondomachi was kidnapped by the Perforator, she was alone with one of his victims in the basement, and when we next saw him he was dead, even though the Perforator couldn’t have killed him.
That’s … actually some really solid writing. I hadn’t even realised on my first watch that the guy couldn’t have been killed by the Perforator.
Pet.

★★★★☆
I feel like I haven’t given this series enough credit for how surprisingly vicious it is. The first episode sets us up to think that Tsukasa and Hiroki’s friendship is pretty cute, and the second episode clues us in to the fact that they’re (quasi-?)romantically involved and sets up a clearly unhealthy but quite sweet all the same romance where you think that, hey, they’re screwed up people but they clearly love each other. It isn’t until the third episode that the rug gets pulled out from under you, with the reveal that Tsukasa is actually quite abusive, and this episode pulls the rug straight out from under us again.
It follows two plot threads. The first one is a milder one, with Satoru meeting the niece of the mysterious Company’s CEO, who exposits at him a little about how the Company was founded and some of the strifes that have led it to its current state of disarray -- namely that the qigong masters who created the psychic techniques the Company uses (just … roll with it) all simultaneously betrayed the CEO and were killed for it, leaving the Company with only one person who can pass on those teachings: Hayashi.
The second plot thread sees Tsukasa and Hayashi playing mind games with each other, with Tsukasa first trying to persuade Hayashi to return to the Company, before Hayashi tries to psychically rewrite Tsukasa’s memories, only for Tsukasa to rebuff him and for the two to end up in a psychic battle where they both try to repel the other one’s attempts to alter their memories.
It’s in this second plot thread that we learn all about Tsukasa’s many issues: Like Satoru, he is most definitely in love with Hayashi, and like Satoru, those feelings clearly aren’t reciprocated. Unlike Satoru, however, Hayashi doesn’t even seem to have filial feelings for Tsukasa, and we learn that when he started teaching Satoru, the Company told him that he couldn’t act as mentor for two people and had to choose one. He picked Satoru with what seems like startling ease, effectively abandoning Tsukasa.
There are allusions, as well, to the idea that Hayashi kept using Tsukasa even after that abandonment, entreating him to infiltrate the Company on his behalf and keep Satoru safe. Tsukasa’s … not happy about this at all, and also, as becomes swiftly apparent throughout the episode, more than a little unhinged.
As the episode ends, Tsukasa and Hayashi are ramping up their psychic battle, with Tsukasa informing Hayashi that he’s learned some tricks off Hiroki, so we’ll see where that one goes.
Infinite Dendrogram.
Tumblr media
★★☆☆☆
More and more, it feels like this show is falling into a rut, and that’s honestly a huge shame.
There’s just no forward momentum to it. Things happen, but there’s no sense of motion, no sense of things winding towards a conclusion, either on an arc level or a series level, and yet at the same time it’s not fast and snappy enough to be a truly episodic series like, say, Kekkai Sensen.
So, this week’s episode sees Ray, now cursed with dog ears (for reasons which are not plot relevant, but I mean, it’s fine), teaming up with a new character, Hugo, a Dryfe Master whose job is essentially that he’s a giant mecha pilot, as the two attempt to tackle a base of bandits who have been kidnapping children.
The show tries very hard to set the bandits up as absolute monsters, and to sell us on Ray’s rage, but it kind of lacks the elements necessary to make an impact. The huge emotional moment where Ray sees that some of the children have been turned into undead is weakened by the fact that the cinematography is bog-standard, the animation direction for the scene is uninteresting, and the music is unremarkable. Even Ray’s reaction is strangely muted, with some anger but no real horror or anything like that, and not even a quiet fury so much as just moderate amounts of rage.
There are hints of a broader plot involving Dryfe, though (which we know from an earlier episode is prepping to invade), with Hugo making remarks that he can’t use his Embryo yet, because keeping it secret is part of some plan.
He does, eventually, use it anyway, and relatively without fanfare at that.

Restless Secrets 6
Pairing: MC!Eggsy Unwin x Steve Rogers Sister!Reader
Warning: Language. Abuse mentioned. Secrets. Drugs mentioned. Violence. Alpha Males. Kidnapping.
Everyone has secrets. Everyone made mistakes. Now you’re rocking the single mom life. But when you’ve got yourself into trouble, you head home to seek the help of your brothers. Bucky and Steve. But your secrets are coming to light when a member of your brothers MC and you have a secret. She’s turning three and the apple of your brothers eyes. Gary ‘Eggsy’ Unwin, is the fling from college Spring Break, and the father of your daughter Olivia. You and Olivia came home for help, but all hell was going to break loose now.
Tumblr media
Eggsy pours coffee into a mug, glancing around the main area. Steve is pointing at the plate in front of Livie.
“Eat, Livie.” He smiles at her before he heads for Eggsy.
“Tay.” Livie nods, picking up a piece of waffle and putting it in her mouth. Her hair is falling from the ponytail she had apparently slept in. She’s got on a matching pajama set it’s got princesses on it and little slippers cover her feet.
“Where’s Y/N?” Eggsy glances around the room, not finding her as Steve fills his cup.
“Let her sleep in.” Steve nods. “Figured she needs it.” He shrugs. They both look over at Livie sitting by herself, she looks a little lonely.
“Mind if I go sit with her?” Eggsy looks at Steve.
“No.” Steve smiles. “Mind keeping an eye on her for like say twenty minutes. Sam fucked something up in the garage, I don’t really want to take her out there.” Steve sighs.
“Yeah, no problem.” Eggsy nods, picking up his mug he heads for the seat next to Livie.
“Hi.” She smiles at him when he sits down with her.
“Hi Livie.” He smiles back at her, leaning in on his forearms.
“Ats your name?” She smiles, curiosity in her green eyes.
“My name? It’s Eggsy.” He grins as she giggles.
“Tat’s funny.” She nods.
“It’s a nickname.” He explains to her.
“Like Livie?” She asks looking up at him.
“That’s right.” He nods. She watches him for a moment or two.
“Our eyes match.” She points at her own green eyes.
“They do. What color are they?” He asks, with a grin.
“Geen.” She nods matter of fact like.
“Smart girl.” He winks at her, she practically lights up.
“You nice. I like you.” Her little head tips as she smiles at him. He’d be damned if that didn’t make his insides turn to goop.
“I like you too.” He smiles. God she was just the cutest thing ever.
“Bacon?” She holds up half a piece of bacon, offering it to him.
“Thank you.” He takes the offering. “Can you eat a few more bites of your waffle?” He asks.
“Tay.” She nods, putting cut up pieces of waffle in her mouth. She chews, her eyes wandering around the room.
“You’re a good girl.” He comments as he sips his coffee.
“Tank you.” She smiles after swallowing her food.
“Morning baby girl.” Nat leans over, covering Livie’s cheeks in kisses, resulting in bursts of giggles from Livie.
“Nantie Nat.” She grins up at her when she stops the kissing assault. Nat brushes Livie’s hair back as she settles into a seat with them. Her eyes slip from Livie to him.
“Eggsy.” She smirks, before she looks back at Livie again.
“Morning gorgeous.” He smirks lifting his coffee cup again. Nat watches him for a moment, he winks at her, before looking at Livie. “Not so many pieces, you’ll make yourself sick.” He warns her. She nods slowly as she works to chew the mouthful she had.
------------------
Livie was getting changed and washed up with Steve, when Brandon leans in on the table next to Eggsy.
“We need to talk, Bruv.” He looks down at him.
“We do?” Eggsy smirks up at him.
“Got some questions for you.” Brandon nods. Eggsy stands, following Brandon into the chapel, shutting the door behind him.
“Well come on then.” He sighs dropping into a seat.
“We’ve been mates a long time. I want you to be honest with me.” Brandon sits down next to him.
“Alright.” He nods.
“You and Y/N. You got history?” Brandon lifts a brow.
“Yeah.” He smirks. Brandon had been his childhood best friend, they moved with his mom to get away from his little sisters psychotic dad. Brandon followed, and together they’d made a new life, still best friends. If it was anyone he could tell his secret it was Brandon.
“What kind?” Brandon asks, settling in.
“The properties the club has stakes in. The last place I hit for collection, I’d collect, and if I didn’t have to hurry back, I would have a drink and socialize.” He nods.
“As we all do.” Brandon smirks.
“Met this girl one night. Sassy, gorgeous, could handle her alcohol, she was just looking for a good time. It was supposed to be once. Than once turned into twice and next thing I know it’s two weeks straight and suddenly I wake up and she’s gone. I’m left with scratches, a hang over and only her first name.” He runs a hand through his hair.
“Y/N Rogers.” Brandon smirks.
“What’s my luck the girl’s our Club Pres’ little sister?” He sighs.
“She shows up three years later, with a little girl in tow.” Brandon smirks.
“And she looks just like me.” Eggsy nods slowly.
“God damn, yeah she does.” Brandon laughs, shaking his head.
“But Y/N’s avoiding me.” He scraps a hand down his face.
“I saw the two of you holding hands when her ex was on the phone.” His best friend looks over at him.
“She just grabbed my hand. Like she needed me to reassure her.” He smiles softly.
“You need to speak to her. If that’s your kid, things might get ugly around here.” Brandon shakes his head, sighing.
“I just need to get answers before Steve or Buck put it together.” Eggsy sighs, dropping his head back.
“I mean I’ve always got your back, but I don’t think that’s going to do much against them. No point in us getting our asses kicked because you thought with your dick first.” Brandon laughs, patting him on the shoulder.
“How was I supposed to know she was Steve’s little sister?” Eggsy sighs. “Do I ask for ID first? I mean fuck I think he mentioned once having a sister and that was it. It’s not like we sit around bonding and swapping life stories.” He snorts.
“He finds out you bonded and knocked up his sister and his fist is going to bond with your face.” Brandon grins at him.
“I really got to talk to Y/N.” He sighs.

1-50 (ALL OF THEM!!!! 💕) for alex and talia ☺️
Tumblr media
1. Who wakes up first?
- Alex! Talia usually is the first one up but since they’ve started this journey together she takes the time to literally just rest up. When she was living at the White House her morning would start at 5:00 am with most days ending well past 10:00 pm. In a way, she’s catching up on all the sleep she missed out on. Alex usually starts making breakfast for the two before he wakes her up, and when he does, it begins with him kissing down her scarred back. 
2. Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer?
Talia! Like I said she’s trying to enjoy the sleep she’s getting but with Alex being persistent in waking her up she can’t help but want to get up. 
3. Who takes longer getting ready?
Talia...she has to comb her hair a certain way so she’ll go unnoticed. She’s had to dye her hair blonde and cut it a certain way so she has to make sure no one will notice her when they leave. Alex tries to tell her not to fuss over it but she can’t help it. She doesn’t want what they have to end. 
4. When they can’t sleep, what do they do?
When Alex and Talia are restless they usually walk the streets at night together. Since at the moment they’re staying in Venice, Italy it’s quaint even with people bustling about. They take the time to admire the city, holding hands as they do, as they walk to try and tire themselves out.
5. Who falls asleep while watching a movie?
Alex! He’s not a movie person per say but he enjoys a good flick every now and then. When they’re watching whatever Italian movie is on Alex tends to nod off. Talia knows he’s asleep when she feels his head resting on her shoulder.
6. Who falls asleep last, watching the other with a small affectionate smile?
Alex again! Talia is content with watching him sleep because that’s when he seems most at ease and relaxed. His facial features are calm with his lips slightly parted as he lightly snores. Talia especially likes to trace the bottom of his lip with her finger...before it travels to the side of his face and neck that was scarred by the blast he was caught in. For the first time, Talia feels comfortable in her own body with Alex around.
7. Who comes up with the cheesy pick-up lines?
ALEX!! He’s got the cheesy jokes but he also has the cheesiest pick up lines. Once when Talia was at the market picking up things for dinner she feels someone standing behind her. Of course, her first instinct is to elbow them and make a clean escape but somehow she knew it was him. Especially when he leans down into her ear and asks her if she’s “from Tennessee”. Talia rolled her eyes as she turned to look at him just as he finished saying that she was the only ten he saw...corny as hell...but she loves him for it.
8. Who gets extremely competitive playing Mario Kart?
Talia isn’t much a video game person but back when Alex was her secret service agent she walked in on him a few other agents on break playing mario kart. Everyone there nearly stopped because hello she’s the first lady...but when she sat down and started to watch the game they all relaxed. When it was her turn to go against Alex she was hesitant because she didn’t know what the hell she was doing, but eventually she figured out how it worked and got...super competitive to the point where she started yelling...super embarrassing. 
9. Who accidentally pushes a door instead of pulling?
Talia...she’s done it multiple times and Alex quietly pulls open the door for her and holds it open until she goes in. She of course is super embarrassed about it :/. 
10. Who sets the other’s ringtone to something loud and obnoxious behind their back?
Alex! He sets it to a song she absolutely finds annoying and when she realizes what he’s done she can’t help but roll her eyes...with a smile.
11. Who rearranges the bookshelf/DVD shelf in alphabetical order?
Talia...it’s out of boredom really because there’s nothing for her to do...for once in her life. During her days as First Lady, her days started at 5:00 am as she ran around the White House while also working on her side projects. Now though there’s not much for her to do.
12. Who does the hands-over-the-eyes “Guess Who” thing?
Alex! He’s become more playful since it’s just been them two. Of course, when he does the “Guess Who” thing it leads to something else...(wink).
13. Who points out a dog when they see one?
Talia! She loves dogs and will always want to pet them whenever she sees them.
14. Who’s prone to road rage?
Talia... :/ she’s so impatient behind the wheel that she’ll abuse the horn and cuss them out...Alex has yet to become used to it.
15. Who’s prone to wearing socks indoor (or to sleep)?
Oh god Alex...Talia is like “ok Jan” when he doesn’t take them off...and like he tries to keep them on in bed but she is not having it. The socks come off during sex!!!
16. Who reminds the other to put on sunscreen before going to the beach (or pool)?
Both! Talia will mention it first before Alex smiles at her and mentions that he was gonna say the same thing to her. 
17. Who carries all the important documents while traveling?
TALIA. It makes her feel important if she handles their fake passports, IDs, cash etc. She keeps them in neat folders with their assumed identities printed on the covers. Alex lets her take care of them although he’s not used to it, but he knows something this little means a lot to Talia. 
18. Who gets the window seat?
Talia! She doesn’t want it but Alex won’t let her sit by the aisle in case she were to get hit by the cart. :/
19. Who puts their cold hands/feet on the other?
Talia! She does it when he’s least expecting it and when she does he literally jumps because her hands and feet are super cold.
20. What do they argue about the most?
It’s mostly...well...recently been of Alex’s disappearance for those three weeks. Alex doesn’t quite recall what happened but he is adamant that it was something to do with the CIA despite them agreeing they were gonna stay off the radar. Talia knows it’s something else, something dangerous that he’s not aware of and she’s trying to get to the truth of it before something happens that he’ll regret. Alex doesn’t think it’s anything serious, and he gets frustrated by it because she’s so persistent. 
I mean, they’re expecting...so Talia has every reason to be on guard.  
21. Who’s clumsier?
Talia! She’s not a klutz per say but she does tend to be clumsy from time to time. 
22. Who texts more often?
Usually it’s Alex and mostly it’s to check on her when he’s out doing small missions under the guise of him wrangling wanted criminals. He mainly does it because he has this small fear that’ll he’ll come home to find her gone. Not kidnapped or anything like that but that she’ll leave him. It’s ridiculous, and something she’s told him time and time again but Alex still isn’t used to the domestic life especially not with someone he’s truly in love with. 
23. Who is better with kids?
I like to think both are but I would have to say Talia is definitely soft and loves being around children. Most of her goodwill campaigns have been to help children of all walks of life--from domestic to foreign simply because she believes children are the future of the world. It’s why she’s in Urzikstan to begin with. She saw the photos and intel of the children there being subjected to unspeakable horrors so she made it her goal to fly out there on a goodwill visit. 
Though in reality she was ready to throw hands with the Wolf.
24. Who’s the better cook?
Talia! She didn’t get to do much of it at the WH but now she’s got a lot of time on her hands to cook for the two of them. Alex wants to help but she’s gotta take over and take care of it...
25. Who mistakes salt for sugar?
Talia...listen she can cook but when she’s distracted she’ll forget what she’s doing and screw it all up. Especially when it’s Alex doing the distracting...needless to say their pasta that night tasted much sweeter than intended. 
26. Who puts the fork in the microwave?
Alex...he doesn’t mean to but he forgets from time to time and it caught fire.
27. Who cooks at 2 in the morning?
Alex surprisingly though he cooks mainly simple stuff when he can’t sleep. And when I say cook I mean he’s out here cooking top ramen at 2 am in the morning...the dumb himbo... 
28. Who lets the microwave play the loud beeping sound at 1 a.m.?
Talia! When she’s mad at him + can’t sleep she’ll warm something up on purpose and let it beep so it wakes him up. When he’s finally awake and glaring at her for not being able to fall asleep she’s there eating her frozen burrito with a triumphant smile. 
29. Who licks the spoon when they’re baking brownies?
They both do. Alex is hesitant if only because he remembered his mother saying eating raw batter was bad but Talia convinces him to try some. 
30. Who likes doing the dishes?
Talia! She’s the type who has to washes the dishes a certain way or else they’re not clean. Alex tried once but Talia re-washed them behind his back so now he doesn’t bother even though she doesn’t let him anyway.
31. Who has bigger cravings? What are they?
Well...when Talia is pregnant with Jolene (i changed their kid’s name and what about it???) she has the weirdest cravings ever. Mainly that of fruit cut up and mixed with...ketchup. :l Alex is that whitekidconfusedmeme.jpg because she’ll eat the whole thing and not throw up after.
32. Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?
Alex! He knows that Talia goes straight for the steak and knows she likes it medium rare with lots of pepper added onto it. Her sides are always the same--baked potato and asparagus. If she’s not feeling steak then she’ll go for the chicken alfredo pasta loaded with pepper. 
33. How do they eat ice cream? What’s their favorite flavors?
Talia eats sherbet ice cream but takes her time in eating it with slow licks while Alex is the strawberry ice cream guy who devours it in like two minutes. Talia is in confusion because he doesn’t get a brain freeze from eating it like that.
34. Do they go on dates? What are they like?
They always do! Talia calls it going out to dinner but Alex treats them as dates. They always start off with breakfast or lunch depending on the time of the day before they wander the city they’re currently in. Talia will mainly be spilling facts about the history behind the city as Alex listens intently, all the while enjoying behind in her company. 
35. What do they smell when they smell amortentia?
Talia: Axe body spray...JK. She smells fresh aftershave with a hint of gunpowder that is not too overwhelming. 
Alex: A strong perfume usually closely resembling Chanel No. 5 but he would also smell hints of lavender that would be more pleasant to his sense of smell than the perfume.
36. Which one is the secret snuggler?
Talia...she likes to snuggle her face in his back and smell him just to know he’s really there with her.
37. Which one offers their jacket to the other when they complain they feel cold?
ALEX. Mama didn’t raise no rude country boy. He offers her his jacket when he notices she’s cold but doesn’t complain about it. When she starts to cross her arms and look to the left does he realize she’s cold but not saying she is. Once he drapes his jacket around her shoulders, Talia becomes embarrassed but thanks him regardless as she pulls his jacket closer around her.
38. Who reaches for the other one’s hand while driving?
Alex...big softie. When he’s driving he’ll grab Talia’s hand and keep his hand in her lap. All the while she’ll be playing with his fingers absentmindedly while watching the trees pass by their window. It’s a sort of comfort to Alex to know in a way that she’s really present there with him.
39. Who leaves little notes in the other one’s lunch? (Bonus: What does it say?)
When Alex has to go off and wrangle some wanted criminals (i mean...they’re gonna need some extra money) Talia will pack him a lunch and leave notes here and there. Nothing corny but more so ones that say “duck and cover” or “watch your six” to remind him not to be spotted and caught. To him, they mean a lot as it’s her way of saying she loves him.
40. Who is the most affectionate?
Talia and it took her a long time to be that way. In the spotlight, she had to pretend to be affectionate with Richard or else the papers would claim something was amiss between them. It was never truly genuine. With Alex, it started with her brushing her hand against his or running the back of her hand along the side of his face.
Now that’s it’s just them two she’s the one to initiate hugs and random kisses when he’s least expecting it.
41. Who is the big spoon/little spoon?
Talia is the big spoon, next question.
42. What is their favorite feature of their partner?
Talia absolutely loves Alex’s eyes and the kind of blue hue they take on whenever he looks at her. It’s something subtle, and perhaps it’s nothing, but to her his eyes take on a different shade of blue whenever he’s looking into her eyes. That and his arms because of those tattoos...
Alex’s favorite feature of hers is Talia’s nose. He loves the way she brushes her nose against his when they kiss. It’s a particular feature of hers that stands out from anything else, and it only enhances her beauty. 
43. What is the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?
When Alex was put on her secret service detail he wasn’t exactly pleased about it but knew more or less that it was his job. His first impression of Talia was that she was cold and straight to the point. She never really gave her detail much attention because of her own insecurities in being First Lady. Alex knew more or less that she was the job and that was that. However, the first thing to change came after the incident with the explosion. He starts to notice things about Talia that goes unnoticed by everyone else. The way she moves a strand of hair to tuck behind her ear when she’s getting annoyed, or the way she rolls her lips when she’s deep in thought...all of this is brought to his attention because of his own feelings for her are beginning to surface. 
Now with Talia she began to like him even before the incident with the explosion. She would notice little things about Alex that she didn’t care to with her own husband. When Alex was busy keeping watch of their surroundings his brows would furrow when he was concentrating on spotting a would be threat. When he would place his hands on his hips it was mainly because he was too busy being lost in his thoughts. After said incident happened her feelings for Alex grew especially because he saved her from enduring even more pain. He was there from beginning to end. Quite literally never having left her side on her way to the hospital, and even then he stood outside the operating room and her hospital room. Ever vigilant. 
44. What are their nicknames for each other?
Talia is so confused with his many names over the years that she’s settled on calling him “Alex” but will often refer to him as “love” from time to time. Alex’s nickname for her is Tali! He’s the only one allowed to call her that.
45. Who worries the most? Over what?
Alex! It’s a habit he acquired from his time with her as her secret service agent. He knows he doesn’t have to worry but he does because Talia means everything to him. It’s mostly over small stuff too that he worries about and Talia will sometimes get frustrated with it but she knows he can’t help it.
46. Who initiates kisses?
Talia! She’ll kiss him because she feels like it and will start with his chin, dropping kisses across his face and neck before finally meeting his lips. 
47. Who says I love you first? How did it happen?
Oh man...here we go! Alex is the one to say it first but of course this happens around the time when he’s leaving to return to active duty for Laswell. He’s come to terms with his feelings for this woman--a woman of great influence who happens to be married but he doesn’t care. He has to let her know. Of course, when Alex says “I love you” it quite literally makes Talia fall silent. She knows her feelings for him are just as strong if not more but she also knows he’s leaving her. Though not because he wants to. 
Alex says it again with more gusto this time but Talia doesn’t say anything. It takes a minute but she tells him--a lump forming in her throat-- “You’re mistaken. There’s nothing for you to love about me. We both used each other, that’s it.”
48. Who tells their friends/family about their relationship first?
None of them do, but those closest to them suspect that there’s more to it than either lead on. The first to notice was her mother who warned her about it leaking to the public. No support or anything, just Lorelei saying for her to “quash any feelings she has for him”. The second to notice was Price during the attack on the embassy in Urzikstan. When Alex realizes Kyle is leading Talia away from danger via the camera systems he snatches the mic from him and shakily says her name. Price, overhearing from Gaz’s mic, puts two and two together almost instantly. 
From there, it’s clear to everyone that there’s something going on between the First Lady and Alex though neither admit it. 
49. What do they do when they’re away from each other?
During the two years spent apart, Alex would avoid all television and certain websites otherwise he would see her face everywhere. He didn’t want to bring up old memories of something that never was. Yet he couldn’t avoid her altogether. So he spent time watching interviews Talia would give to reporters, or read up on her charities and her goodwill tours. His jaw would clench whenever he saw her face, but he couldn’t get angry at her. And why? He had no right.
Talia is the opposite in that she would inquiry as to his whereabouts but she was often met with one worded answers or avoidance altogether. She thought about him so often that her dreams would be plagued of her and Alex’s intimate moments. She would often wake up clutching her pillow in a death like grip for reasons unknown. Maybe because she was wondering where Alex was now.
50. Who gets overwhelmed by small acts of kindness?
Talia! She’s used to the over the top gestures but with Alex the small acts of kindness are quite the opposite. She’ll wake up to find breakfast on the table, or when her scars are acting up he’s the first one to get the medicated cream and gently rub it along her scars.

George X Abused!Reader
(Y/N/N) = Your nickname
They had been friends for years. It was first year when they met, chattering about far-fetched magical ideas. Some of which they made come true. It was second year when he pranked her, giving her the small scar on her shin that seemed to not want to budge. Third year, the year they teased his first-year brother and started their inventions. Fourth year, the time she comforted him when his sister was kidnapped. Fifth year, when suddenly there was a growing distance.
The twins and (Y/N) had always been close since the first day on the train when (Y/N) had shared her sweeties with them when their mum hadn't packed any. The trio stuck together up to the sorting ceremony, only separated briefly before the Weasley's joined her in Gryffindor.
George and (Y/N) were ever so slightly closer, bonding over their love of bad puns and annoying the hell out of Fred with it. That's why it hurt him more when she seemed to be distancing herself.
It started near the end of 4th year. (Y/N) fancied some Ravenclaw beater named Jason or something like that. Fred and George took the mickey out of her. Sure George had wondered what it would be like to date her but who was he to stop her?
They eventually convinced (Y/N) to ask him out. THey coached her in ways of 'attracting the male kind' because of how nervous she got. George couldn't remember the last time she was properly nervous. Then again a lot of her pranks involved the twins getting a few bumps so maybe that was why.
When they started going out it felt like (Y/N) was being stolen from them. Weekends were spent on Hogsmeade dates and she liked to eat dinner with him sometimes. She assured them it was fine.
"Startin to think you don't like us," Fred joked as (Y/N) sat across from him.
(Y/N) looked him in the eyes "Finally caught on?" She joked back. "Nah, canny miss my favorite 2 gingers for too long,"
"Let's be honest, we all know I'm the better twin," George smirked.
(Y/N) pursed her lips and scanned George "Cute. You think you had a chance," Fred and (Y/N) laughed as George fake pouted.
He missed their jokes. When they got on the train for their first day of fifth year she had joined them in their compartment. Well until he came looking for her. He whisked her away to sit with him and she sent the twins a sorry smile.
They'd written over some of the summer but towards the end, the letters dwindled down. She said she was busy a lot, with muggle friends and family.
"Georgie," Fred greeted as he entered their dorm from detention.
George looked up from the sketch he'd been doodling. It was a rough idea for a potential prank but it wasn't that good "You seen (Y/N) recently?"
Fred stopped what he was doing and looked at him "No actually. That's weird. We need to find her at some point," Fred moved to his bed, rummaging through his trunk for something "Kidnap her from Jason if it comes to it," he joked.
George's shoulders slumped "I don't like that guy, something feels wrong about him."
"Is Georgie jealous?" Fred pouted, talking like George was a baby.
The twin threw a pillow at him "Piss off."
Fred shook his head with a grin "Nah. I think he seems fine." He shrugged "Likes quidditch, isn't a total recluse, kinda funny actually. In class, you missed it, he-" Fred continued his short story of a joke Jason had pulled. He noticed George didn't laugh "You don't like him?"
"Nah. I dunno." George shrugged, grabbing his idea book to continue his sketch "Probably just annoyed he took our best friend."
Fred sighed "I feel you mate,"
The next day the twins decided to make a point of talking to (Y/N). She wasn't at Breakfast and at lunch they'd been held back, meaning (Y/N) had already taken a seat at the Ravenclaw table. Then dinner came around.
The twins had been in Transfiguration, with (Y/N), and were able to quickly catch up with her after class, "Hello love," They said in sync, flying their arms over her shoulders like they always did.
She flinched "Goblins! Don't scare me you two," Her voice was breathy, clearly not faking her fear.
"Thought you'd get used to that by now," Fred said. "Besides we had to basically catch you. Got sick of Georges ugly mug already?"
"Oi!"
"No," she shook her head, though her eyes scanned the corridor "Just was busy is all. I can have friends you know,"
"Well, you can have this dinner with these to friends, don't you think Freddie?" George said, looking at his twin.
"I think your right, Georgie. What about you (Y/N/N)?"
"I don't know," her voice was shaky, hiding it by a slight chuckle "Just I said I'd sit with Jason is all,"
Fred and George eyed each other before turning their attention back to (Y/N) "Sure he can get by without you for one dinner," Fred prompted.
"Nah, I said I would so I will. Maybe tomorrow yeah?" (Y/N) rushed off. The twins looked up to see she was rushing into the hall.
They also saw Jason follow after her, not before sending the twins a smile that was dropped as he followed her in. "I really don't like that guy," George said, still looking at her he'd been standing.
Fred nodded "You know what mate, you might be onto something,"
Fred had suggested a few ways to get (Y/N) to talk to them. All seemed too...forward? "How about we drag her into the room of requirement and annoy it out of her?" Fred suggested, laying on his bed looking at the ceiling.
"How about no" George said as he put the last details into his new prank idea/plan.
Fred let out an aggressive sigh "Fine, how about we get some truth potion thingy and make her tell us?"
"That's illegal,"
"Pish posh," Fred waved his hand, disregarding his brother and the law. "I mean we could go back to plan A?"
"I'm not figuring out the spell to the girl's dormitories to kidnap our best friend in the middle of the night. I might not like school but id rather not get killed when we'd get expelled for it!" Fred groaned as another idea was rejected "Leave it to me," George sighed "Your a bit forward sometimes,"
"I just hate emotions," Fred shrugged.
George sat up, "Which is why I'm doing it. Now-" He tossed Fred his notebook "Take a look at that,"
"(Y/N), come quick. One of the pranks just literally blew up in Fred's face. You were always good at Ferula" The lies slid off Georges' tongue after he rushed up to (Y/N).
She looked at her boyfriend, saying "I'll be back in 2 minutes. Okay?"
Okay? George thought. For all, she knew Fred's head was on the third floor and his body the 1st. But she asked permission? He still remembers the time she decided it was okay for her to raid his and Freds trunks for the marauder's map so she could prank them.
"Course its fine babe," Jason chuckled, pulling (Y/N) in by her waist to whisper something in her ear.
She nodded and rushed in the direction George had come from. George caught up easily, leading her to a random class. "In here," he told her, ushering her into the empty class.
"Fred?" She called, already holding her wand. (Y/N) spun on her heels as she heard George lock the door with his wand. "Where's Fred?"
"Must've left," George shrugged before suddenly snatching her wand. She reached for it, "We need to talk. Sit," George nodded to the desks.
(Y/N) looked at the ground and nodded, moving to sit on one of the desks. George pulled a chair over so he was in front of her. "What's up?"
"The sky," Her voice and laugh were weak.
George held back a sigh "Seriously, tell me. Were best friends. You can trust me," She said nothing. George leaned back, pulling at his collar "It is boiling in here," Britan was going through a mini heatwave apparently.
George went over to the windows to find he couldn't open them. He shrugged his jumper off and loosened his tie, noticing her cardigan was still wrapped tight around her, "Are you sick? it's boiling in here."
"I'm good," she shrugged.
"No, no your not," George moved closer, crouching in front of her, trying to meet her eyes. "You're not are you?"
"Not even a little," she broke. Silent tears rained down her face and her voice was as fragile as a dragon egg.
George stood, wrapping his arms around her and petting her hair "Its gonna be okay."
"No its not," she shook his head. "It was never okay,"
"Don't say that. I'll help you," He told her "But I need to know what I'm helping with." She went silent again. He pulled back a little, "Do you want to take your cardy off?" she shook her head. He took in a deep breath before asking "Does he, does he hit you?" She didn't reply. "I'm taking the cardigan off,"
He, as gently as he could, pushed the cardigan off her shoulders and off her arms. Purple bruises were on her forearm as though someone, him, had grabbed her. Another few sat on her arms. "He gets mad sometimes. It isn't his fault," (Y/N) whispered.
"No, it is. It's all his fault. Say it (Y/N). Say it's his fault."
"It's mine. I shouldn't have been talking to you. I should've been on time."
"No," George cut her off "Its all that twisted idiots fault. You did nothing wrong. Got it. Nothing. Now come here," George wrapped his arms around her again.
Her sobs followed, not as silent as her tears had been. "Are those all the bruises?" She shook her head "Want to talk about it later?" She nodded weakly. "Okay (Y/N/N). Okay. Whatever you want."
The pair only pull away when "What on earth is happening in here?" McGonnagal asked, not seeing the tears yet.
When George pulled back from (Y/N), revealing her face, McGonnagal looked shocked. "Can you wait with her miss? I've got to do something,"
"No George," (Y/N) cried after him as he headed out the door.
"I'll be back in a bit," He called back, his pace increasing to a jog.
When he walked into the great hall his eyes ignored the Gryffindor table, falling straight on the Ravenclaws. He thought he heard Fred call his name but he had already seen him.
His smug face sat on the end of the table, empty seat next to him and girl in front of him, clearly flirting. George stormed over there. He could hear Fred following him.
George wasn't a vindictive person. Not even when people backed out of bets. But he'd be lucky to stand.
George grabbed his collar, yanking him out of his seat, shoving him back before going to lunge at him, "Georgie came down," Fred put his hand out to stop his brother.
Jasons friends had shot out their seats and the teachers called to boys but they ignored it. "What the hell Weasel?!" Jason raised his voice.
He had the full support of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team until George said: "Does it make you feel good to beat bludgers and girlfriends?" George moved closer.
Fred's hand dropped from George "He what?" Fred's voice was colder than it had ever been. "You what?!" He yelled at Jason.
The Quidditch team looked at Jason, Jason at the team. Jason chuckled, went to defend himself, but the team had already taken a few steps back.
George had been clenching and unclenching his fist the whole time. "Wanna do the honors, George?" Fred asked, eyes not leaving Jason. Fred moved to be standing behind Jason. Now he could get out the small space between the table and wall.
They thought they heard a teacher call again but it didn't matter. Jason's eyes flickered to the teacher's table before he bolted, trying to jump on the table to run.
George grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and dragged him off, flinging him against the wall.
The twins set about the idiot. They didn't condone violence but that didn't mean he was getting away with it. Jason tried to sink to the ground but Fred held him up. When he did get to the ground punches went to kicks.
Fred was pulled back by someone but George kept going. Hagrid came up behind him, wrapping his arms around George from behind and holding him so he couldn't move his arms.
"I'll kill you!" George screamed, thrashing in Hagrid's arms "I'll get you when you sleep if it comes to it! No one lays a fucking hand on her! Or anyone!"
It was too out of control. Dumbledore had to use a spell to knock him out. The last thing he saw was (Y/N) standing in the entrance to the great hall, McGonnagal holding her.
George woke up a couple hours later. His eyes fluttered open and a groggy feeling overtook him. "Where the hell is he?" George didn't sound as threatening half asleep.
(Y/N) placed her hand over his. "In St Mungos under ministry supervision. He's gone, Georgie,"
George looked at (Y/N) "Never, ever, let someone do that to you again. If someone so much as taps you a bit too hard I'll go for them."
"I'll keep that in mind,"
A/N: Whoa, this got darker than I thought. I wasn't sure how to end it but that happened. If anyone is experiencing an abusive relationship, get out of there. It was never your fault.
