_____________
Maybe you exaggerated the sparkles in your eyes.
The black eyeshadow with glitter on top was scandalous, and the red gloss on your lips only made it look more exaggerated.
But someone knocked on the door when you were about to wipe the gloss.
“Coming!” You let your guests know.
When you open the door, there are a lot of interesting sights.
Miles and Gwen are dressed as Frankenstein and his bride, Hobie is dressed as a zombie policeman, Pavitr is dressed as a pirate, and Baby Mayday is a fairy.
“OH- all of you look so cute and cool” you squeal, stealing Mayday from Pavitr’s arms.
“You are the prettiest fairy!” She coos and giggles, playing with the feathers on your cleavage. You were the black swan. Yes, from the movie, with pointe shoes alike shoes and all.
“You look so pretty!” Gwen flatters you, as you step aside from the door to let the group in.
“Thanks. So… uh-… Where’s Peter?” You ask once the door closes, and your adult friend is nowhere nearby.
“Jess. He was about to come but she took him to guide a briefing” Miles says, and you roll your eyes. Sometimes you hated how devoted Jess was. No wonder why Miguel trusted her a lot.
“Oh. That’s okay. We can start without him…” they all nod.
The plan was simple. Your friends decided to have a little gathering at your place. Halloween was around three weeks away. A night with spooky movies (Mayday friendly), pumpkin pie, ghost stories, and more sounded good.
'`We bought pumpkin cheesecake and cinnamon bread pudding’ Miles adds. Your mouth waters at the smell.
“You can place them in the kitchen. Thanks…"Soon Miles and Gwen are making nachos in your kitchen, Pavitr and Hobie are playing over what movie they should pick, and you are playing with Mayday on the carpet of the living room.
“Dude…y/n, can you tell Hobie that The Exorcist isn’t an option to see as a movie with Mayday here?” You laugh, stopping your little hide-and-seek game with the toddler to see the pair of boys.
“I have to agree with Pav. We can see a cartoon though?” Hobie huffs but nods smiling at Mayday trying to walk.
A sudden bang startles you, Pavitr, and the little kid. It came from the kitchen.
“SORRY” Gwen yells. You wonder what the hell they did.
“The olives can almost explode…” the blonde explains, poking through the kitchen door.
Casper is quickly the most-voted movie to see. When Dr. Harvey is giving an interview on TV and Casper watches it, Miles and Gwen appear with two giant nacho bowls.
They sure did an amazing job. At the bottom, tons of chips. Covered in loads of cheese, tomato, onions, beef, jalapeños, black olives, crema, and more cheese.
“I’m gonna need a diet after this…” you say, making them laugh.
“No worries, my aunt makes this fermented tea that will make you stay in shape with your usual exercise” Pav was that emotional friend you were so grateful to have.
“Really? Aww. Thanks, Pav” he nods, taking Mayday to snuggle with her.
The only sounds in the living room are Casper talking with his uncles, the crunch of the nachos, and some farts from Mayday.
An hour later, the movie is done. There are no nachos left, most of the bread pudding is gone and the rain has started. Oh, and Peter was still at the HQ dressed as a pirate.
“So as the little girl walked through the woods, soon she found a hanging man… the corpse was already rotten…” Hobie’s deep voice made his narrowing of a horror story more thrilling.
By that time, nobody had a costume, only pajamas. You hold Mayday tightly to your chest. She can’t understand the story at all, but she can tell it is about something spooky.
“She sat next to the corpse, and placed the flowers she had in his chest.”
“That’s so creepy,” Pavitr admitted, listening to Hobbie.
“The sun was almost gone, and the little girl had to go back home” As your punk friend continued with the story, Gwen, Miles, Pavitr, Mayday and you became sandwiched.
“She continued playing with the rotten fingers of the corpse. And suddenly… a branch cracked, startling her, but she remained still…” you gasped, feeling your heart beating faster.
Even the thunders seemed to have increased, adding more suspense and terror to your dismay.
“She slowly turned back to see.”
BANG!
“AHHHHHHHHH!” Everyone screamed. Even Hobie jumped to be in the safety of Pavitr’s arms.
Peter entered your living room through a portal.
“PETER B. PARKER, WHAT THE FUCK?” You yell at him.
“Don’t curse in front of my baby…” it’s the first thing he says, swiping some stuff from his gizmo.
“Where’s your costume?” Miles asks, making everyone realize the older man is in his suit… No pirate costume.
“Sorry, Miles. Actually, I’m here to ruin the party” Everyone looks at each other. You worry something wrong happened back at the HQ.
“Miguel wants us to go on a mission… Now” the complaints start. Including you.
After almost a year of being part of the Spider Society. You barely talked with Miguel O’Hara. To be honest, you actually thought he disapproved of you. The only reason why he accepted you was for the pressure of having Miles and everyone on his side after the events with The Spot.
“Bruv… Are you for real?” Hobie asks, sounding pissed. Even Mayday seems to frown in your arms.
“I know! I wanted to have some pictures with Mayday for her scrapbook” You swear Peter was about to cry out of complaining.
At the same time, the hologram of Miguel popped, immediately rolled his eyes at the sight of Peter being dramatic.
“Enough of that. We’re losing time and all of you are still dressed like clowns…” you frown.
Sometimes Miguel was so annoying. So, you tested him by disobeying him from time to time. Just because you felt some resentment towards him because he always seemed to dislike you.
“We’re dealing with a violent and big Green Goblin attacking Earth 36363. The time course is in the mid-1600s, so we have to act in disguise. There’s a village that is dealing with some witch trials, and the canon will be disturbed if they find out about the Goblin” everyone hears as they activate their suits.
You, on the other hand, grew worried. Folkloric lands sounded scary. And you knew witch trials weren’t only a show of the villagers to send innocent people to stake. Witches existed, and the old ones were the worst.
“Uh… Miguel? I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to go…” you admit shyly, placing Mayday on your couch.
The man, in hologram form, finally turned to look at you. He must’ve been paying attention to your exaggerated makeup and crown.
“Do us a favor and do what you’re supposed to do, please.” you accept he’s looking deeply at you. Which makes you hesitate whether you are growing mad or nervous.
“Why are you so mean to me all the time?”
“I’m not mean. But you are the newest here and the laziest. As your mentor I-“
“Jessica is my mentor.” You interrupt him. Everyone grows quiet, and the tension is evident.
Miguel’s dark eyes seem to get even darker, probably his talons are out. But you don’t care.
“I’m not repeating myself, y/n. So, unless you want your gizmo gone, you’re gonna go to that earth and beat whatever is there besides the goblin.”
“If anything happens. I’m gonna blame you…” Hobie is smiling. He took a preference for you since you weren’t afraid to face Miguel when he tried to impose. And he recalls accepting to rejoin the society because you befriended him.
“Uh-huh…” Miguel shrugs, spitting sarcasm. And it makes your blood boil.
Gwen places a hand on your shoulder, and her eyes tell you to relax. So, you smile at her, accepting you’re obeying Miguel once again, and battling against the nervous feeling setting in your stomach.
“Okay. So… we’re out in a minute” Peter calls, placing his kid in his chest.
“Good. I’m monitoring with Jess…” and with that, Miguel’s hologram vanished. You roll your eyes.
“Asshole. Why doesn’t he go with Jess? He knew it was our free day” Pav, Miles and Hobie nod at your words.
“You said it. Miguel has changed but…” Peter started.
“Peter, he’s still an asshole. Especially with y/n” the blonde girl speaks, and you can’t help but feel slightly emotional. You were good… Why did he dislike you so much?
“He would be better if I was gone. He dislikes me for not being a spider. And probably he recruited me only because of your trust, especially Miles’s. After what happened…” the boy patted your shoulder.
“Hey, screw what Miguel thinks. You’re special… you’re one of us” his words cheer you up, so you smile brightly.
“Oh- I love you all so much…” Their giggles set you in a better mood. Even with the nervousness and dissolving anger.
With a brush of your hand, your usual suit appears, and you join the little circle to wait for Peter to open the portal.
“So… y/n, it’s gonna be fine, we’re sticking together no matter what. Okay, earth 36363, here we go…” you breathe, and once the portal is open, everyone starts walking in.
When you’re on the other side of the portal, the first thing you notice is that the sun is nearly gone. It’s a giant landscape of woods. With tall trees, lots of nature, and a river that can be heard but not seen.
“Everyone here?” Miles asks, counting you and the other to confirm to Peter. It was a protocol that when large groups assisted in missions, they had to ensure everyone landed and exited the visited earth safely.
“Yep, four teens, a young woman, an old man, and a stinky baby” Gwen calls, Mayday in her arms.
“Oh no, Mayday. Again?” Peter had been dealing with a stomach-sensitive Mayday, so he had to carry diapers everywhere.
“Here’s your daughter” everyone laughs, including the little girl.
And as Peter changed Mayday, everyone wandered around, searching for clues to the anomaly.
“Miguel said the goblin was hidden in the forest” the man reveals from a giant rock, where Mayday was laying. And certainly, she looked like a gift for a ritual, which unsettled you.
“Look… a baby rabbit” Pavitr cooed. You followed his eyes, landing on the grass trail in front of you.
Indeed, there was a baby rabbit, dark brown looking directly at your friends and you. That wasn’t a normal rabbit.
It was a woman, transformed into a rabbit.
You can’t be nervous. And you use Miguel and his words. you’re gonna go to that earth and beat whatever is there besides the goblin. Your eyes deepen as you look at the rabbit. Like protecting your friends and saying to that witch; back off bitch, these are my friends.
“That’s not a rabbit, Pav. It’s a witch…” you admit once the rabbit starts running into the woods. At the same time, all of your friends look at you confused.
“She was spying on us?” Hobie asks.
“Likely. Which makes me uncomfortable because What if she tells her coven and they attack us?” Peter finally is over with Mayday and soothes you.
“We’re here too. Besides, Aren't you a witch too?” He asks calmly.
“Yeah, but this kind of witches works with dark magic. They don’t fight, they don’t have to. Using dark magic makes them… powerful” you admit.
“And what do you use?” Miles asks.
“My instinct. I’m not ruled by any magic. Just me…”
“That’s enough for us, y/n. Don’t worry” Pavitr joins to soothe you.
It’s officially dark. The woods seem creepier, and every sound makes you uneasy. Your magical sparkles are the only light on the way.
Peter and you are going to the front. With the teens behind. Mayday is asleep. And there’s no sign of the Green Goblin.
Out of nowhere. You start hearing a woman sing in the distance. It wasn’t an actual song, it was just a humming, which made everything scarier.
“Are you hearing that?” You ask once the humming is even clearer.
“Hear what, y/n?” You won’t panic. But it’s getting harder.
“A woman, humming…”
“I can’t hear anything,” Hobie admits.
“They must know I’m here. Usually, they get rid of witches outside of their coven” you add, capturing everyone’s attention.
“How do you know?”
“In the 1600s, that’s how it worked. But I just know it, I felt a connection with the rabbit. But it felt wrong. So, what I’m hearing must be a warning or a way to distract me” You can’t help but curse Miguel. It was all his fault. And the worst part hadn’t started.
A high-pitched laugh was heard, startling everyone.
“Now I heard that,” Pav admits.
“That’s the goblin, we’re getting closer…” Maybe Peter wasn’t afraid of many things, but he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable on that earth. It had a sad and dark atmosphere. And before you, he didn’t believe in witches. But now…
The moment was stroked by some explosions. It sends everyone flying away. But all of your friends had spider senses, which made them slightly aware of what was coming.
You land in the grass, with dry branches pinching you in the arms. There’s a pitch in your ears that makes you so lost. And just as your eyes focus around, you see Miles and Hobie attacking the Green Goblin.
“We have to go, y/n” Pavitr and Peter scream, but you hear them so distantly.
You nod, and however you can, you start chasing the goblin with your friends.
This goblin is ugly and on the verge of being scary. His green wrinkled skin and red eyes look horrible in the dark. His flying board and orange bombs make him look like an actual Halloween villain.
“Block him, y/n” Gwen yells as she balances and swings through the tall trees.
You suddenly remember you can levítate and you have to end the anomaly. So, you do, you float and leave your friends behind. And as you chase the goblin, you hope to throw him away with your magic.
“Keep in line” Peter advises the spiders. The chase is longer than expected. And while you’re not tired, you’re growing impatient. Until you are fast enough to end up landing on the goblin’s flying board.
His claws threaten your face, but you are able to sneak behind him and throw him.
With your magic, you give him a giant punch in his face.
“WE GOT HIM!” Hobie yells. But as soon as you are about to handcuff him, the goblin throws another explosion.
And this time, you’re not knocked.
You know you’re conscious, but there’s only darkness. You don’t dare to run because you have a bad omen.
It was a spell. The witches wanted you down.
Not even the sounds of the woods seem to help. But you make an effort to calm yourself and breathe slowly. You really cursed these witches; you had tried hypnosis once and it was so exhausting. And these women hadn’t even shown their faces but were making you so uncomfortable and in panic.
And that’s when you finally see something, a goat. It’s grey, with deep eyes that look at you with so much curiosity. In folklore, the devil usually was a sheep. You really hate being there. Earth 36363 is cursed, you affirm.
The goat starts moving towards you, and as much as you are calmed, you are scared. So you move back, and there must’ve been a branch, cause you fell backwards. And the hypnosis was gone at all. You can see some of the woods, although it’s extremely dark to see clearly.
You push yourself upwards by the elbows, hoping to see the damn witches. You hear a distant laugh, it’s not like the one you heard from the Goblin. It’s a female voice. The dark silhouettes of women in a dress around you make you finally attack.
“Y/N!” You hear Miles screaming at you. That’s enough to end up confused as hell. The woods are clearer, and you are fighting beside your friends.
“What the fuck happened?” You yell. The boy and Hobie make some time to talk to you.
“We’re fighting the Goblin. What do you mean?” You wonder if you had been physically fighting the goblin but mentally you were fighting with a witch.
“I- don’t know” Peter, Pavitr, and Gwen are higher, away from you.
Making a new bomb of the goblin to send you Hobie and Miles even further away. This time, you know you have to be faster. So, you create a shield for you and your friends. Even when you end up on the ground, nobody is hurt.
“WITCH! AYE, A WITCH!” You frowned, and once you and your friends turned back, you were met with a large crowd of people with torches.
“Bloody hell…” Hobie curses. You learn that there were no more woods behind you, it was the entrance of a village.
“GET THAT WITCH!” And before you can even stand, two men are holding you, dragging ypu towards the crowd.
“NO. Y/N!” Pavitr and Hobie try to attack the villagers, but you are mentally immobilizing them.
“GO BACK WITH THE OTHERS AND TAKE DOWN THE GOBLIN. I’LL FIGURE THIS OUT. GO!” You yell desperately as the villagers celebrate and cheer because they got you.
“Oh, boy…” Pavitr worries, but they start going back with the others.
“Call Miguel…” Hobie suggests. And both know it’s the right thing to do.
Miguel gave one last bite to his beef and vegetable empanada. He savored the flavor of the broth and wanted to lick his fingers, but he resisted the urge. Instead, he wiped his mouth and returned to his office.
The sound of emergency made him pace faster, and he was confused when Jess was nowhere to be found, nor Lyla.
“Lyla!” He called her, but there was no answer. So, he ran to his desk and the screens.
Emergency call from Gwen’s gizmo.
Miguel sighed; he could already hear the complaints. Always calling for reinforcements when there was no necessity.
“MIGUEL!” Gwen sounded worried, and Peter could be heard fighting with the goblin.
“THIS PLACE IS CURSED. THE GOBLIN IS VERY STRONG. AND Y/N WAS TAKEN BY THE VILLAGERS” Miguel’s eyes widened. He thought it wouldn’t be as bad as it sounded.
“What?” He asked trying to sound calm, but he was feeling regretful already. As he remembered your words and how unsure you were of going.
“We need reinforcements. There are witches, they’re doing everything to finish y/n. You have to go and save her. The villagers will burn her.” Miguel couldn’t help but feel anxious as he listened to the teen.
It had been a long time since he went into panic mode for someone.
“Calm down. I’m coming with help. Send the exact coordinates” With that, he finished the connection.
Jess and Lyla appeared, talking like nothing.
“Where were you two?” Jess shrugs, looking at the wide man annoyed.
“Helping Lyla and Margo. What happened?”
“The mission is going bad. They can’t contain the anomaly and y/n was taken by villagers who saw her using her abilities” he explained, activating his mask and leaving the office in a hurry.
“I’ll send help myself too. Where are you going?” Jess replies.
“I already sent help. I'm going to save y/n.” The woman and the AI looked at the man until he disappeared through a portal.
“Save y/n? I thought he disliked her” Lyla giggles.
“Are you kidding? Y/n is Miguel’s crush. He’s in denial about his feelings for her.” Her jaw dropped at Lyla’s words.
“I wasn’t ready for that punch” Lyla rolled her eyes, finally leaving with the woman to help.
Escape? The villagers would hunt you and that would take more weight on your friends already fighting the goblin.
Leave to the HQ? You couldn’t leave your friends behind. Plus, you won’t give Miguel the satisfaction.
It’s a hard decision to make when the villagers are tightening your feet and arms. The curse you and some men spit. You want to attack them, but that would also go against your morals. Their ignorance wasn’t a reason to kill or attack them.
The reverend of the town is a young man, corrupted by power and corruption. He has the torch that would kill you.
“May thy town abolish the dark magic of this witch today. No more witches!” He yells lifting the torch. And you finally panic.
There’s anger, anxiety, and desperation as the reverend speaks. The coven of witches surrounding the town had to be very powerful and ancient. How they easily tricked you and made you feel scared. Soon, you fall and get captured.
But as much as you want to fight, these people are not the correct target.
“Last words? filthy witch.” The Reverend asks you, pointing the torch at you.
You sigh, thinking what your last words in case you didn’t make it and died. There are a lot of questions and doubts, but you opt to look at the dark sky.
Even the stars seem weird on the earth. Green stars and burned violet sky. And Spiderman-2099 with his bright red webs coming from the ceiling of a house.
“MIGUEL?” Your eyes widen, and somehow you can’t believe you’re seeing the man there. The reverend turns around to encounter the tall spider. Pointing at him in horror.
“DEMON! THE WITCH BROUGHT A DEMON!” At that point, you only roll your eyes.
“Jesus, I can’t stand these people” But you ignore when the reverend dropped the torch, setting the fire on your feet.
“Fuck…” you had to gasp. But luckily, Miguel landed on the little wooden stage set for you.
You can feel his eyes on you, even with his mask on. However, his regret is even more evident.
The villagers run and everything is chaos. Only the reverend and some random men stayed.
And with what probably was one of the first rifles in America, one of the men pointed at Miguel’s back.
‘Miguel. Watch out!” He listened and skillfully avoided the bullet. Then turned again to set you free.
“I’ll be fast,” he said. And with that, his talons ripped the tight in your hands. Which confirmed how sharp they were.
“Thanks.” Apparently, the reverend was losing patience, so he took the rifle and pointed it at Miguel again, but he failed again.
And the fire touched your feet, burning your soft skin as Miguel set you free.
Your scream caught everyone off guard. You fell to your knees, and the look you sent to the reverend and his men was enough to tell them you were totally pissed.
The anger flooded your body, and an expansive wave of your magic pushed everything away. Including some of the houses and trees surrounding the village.
“It’s time to go, kid,” Miguel said. But once he saw you couldn’t stand, he took you in his arms.
Even if you hate it, you end up crying because of the pain.
“It’s okay, y/n. I’m here, it’s over now.”
As Miguel took you in his arms, you realized something. It wasn’t only the physical pain. It was the whole trauma of being on that haunted earth.
“I wonder if this whole earth is cursed.” You think loudly looking at the stars once again.
“I doubt it. Okay, no. I’m not sure at all” Miguel admits.
He could have been faster with his webs, but he preferred to walk by the fields of chamomile to have you closer for a longer time.
Of course, he couldn’t dare to admit it.
“So…you think you were simultaneously fighting the goblin and the witches?” You nod, playing with your fingers.
“I guess so. It was so weird and scary. This kind of magic is dark, they use cruel things to scare you away.”
“What kind of magic do you use?” You are surprised, as this is the first time you have been talking with Miguel for real.
“I like to believe I don’t use anything. But I know it is chaos magic.”
“Powerful…” he admits.
“But also, dangerous. That’s why I regret…uh-” You suddenly quiet down, forgetting it’s Miguel O’Hara who you’re talking to.
“You don’t have to tell me…” he would never push you to anything. He barely knew you, even with all the confusing feelings.
“No, it’s okay. I-, discovered my abilities when I was an early teenager. I had two brothers, a baby, and a kid. My babies…” As Miguel carries you through the darkness, he sighs quietly, already sensing where your story is going.
“And I don’t what I did, I would never hurt them… It just happened. I disappeared them. They were gone…” your voice shatters slightly.
“My parents hate me. I haven’t seen him since then. I’m alone and I just- I just loved them so much. That it breaks my soul that I unintentionally killed them” the man stops. He places you so gently on a rock near the end of the fields.
After that, he kneels in front of you.
You know you shouldn’t have over-shared. But you don’t know what possessed you to spill everything with Miguel.
His masks disappear. And you can’t describe what kind of look he’s giving you. So, you avoid it.
“Look at me, y/n” his hands grab your chin, and slowly you rejoin to meet his eyes.
“I know how it feels. You know why” Of course you knew. Peter told you the details, but everyone knew. How he lost his daughter and how he blamed and that’s why he had changed so much.
“Even if you feel like that guilt will never stop chasing you. You have to keep going. For them…” you want to cry again so badly, but you refuse. Even your pulsating burned feet seem to hurt less.
“Why do I feel you tell me exactly what you refuse to do?” He can’t help but chuckle.
“Because you’re right…”
“No, Miguel. You’re so young and bright. You have to go out, meet new people, and be happy…” Nobody had said to him something like that in a long time.
“I’m not the most social person” This time you chuckle.
“Oh c’mmon, there must be someone you could hang out with.” He keeps quiet. Even when he's on his knees, you barely face him.
“What about Anya? Betty? Peter J?” You suggest to him some spider mates.
“What about you?” His question shocks you.
“Me?” You blush and thank the moon of the earth for not being too bright that night.
“Forget it. Sorry…” he replies, you know he’s embarrassed. So, you stop him from standing up.
“No, wait, Miguel. I would hang out with you. It’s just I never thought I was even contemplated as an option” he nods.
Just like he didn’t know why he was so careful and decided to talk about his trauma with you, he dint know what had possessed him to ask you out. Probably the witches, he thought.
“Well, you were the first option, actually.”
Both of you smile, and both of you know it. Slowly, he got closer, than you. And finally, inches away from each other face, waiting for a first kiss to happen.
“Are we interrupting?” Hobie’s voice makes you and Miguel turn. His mask comes on again, and he takes you in his arms again. Oh, you want to die out of embarrassment.
Miles and Gwen behind him seemed shocked.
“Did Pavitr and Peter take care of the anomaly?” The trio nods.
“Good. Gwen, open the portal, please” she does, and in seconds, you’re back home.
This time, you’re in a long grey tube skirt and black sweater, with a witch hat.
“Coming” again, Peter was late for the gathering. Even Jess, Margo, and Ben were in your place that night.
“Look who I brought…” Peter said smiling once you opened the door. Behind him, Miguel was also there. Your face blushes immediately.
Peter has gone inside your house to greet the others. But you stay on the porch with the taller man.
“You came.” Miguel nods scratching the back of his neck, probably embarrassed too.
“Peter insisted.” This time you nod.
“How’s your feet?”
“Better. I Can walk now…” you share, smiling.
Since the night on Earth 36363, since your almost kiss with Miguel and your almost day of death, you hadn’t seen him. It’s only been three days, but the awkwardness had settled.
“So…Did you mean everything you said the other night?” You ask, opting to break the ice.
“I did” he confirms to your surprise. Well, not surprised at all because you know he's a man of word.
“Te ves bien bonita” Miguel O’Hara saying you look pretty in random clothes and a witch hat at a Halloween gathering was so hard to believe.
“I- Thanks” he’s smiling. During the past three days, he slowly came to accept he had some feelings for you.
“Girl… Make a move already” Gwen yelled poking through the door with Margo. You turn to smile at them.
“Kiss him!” Miles screams from inside the place, with Mayday babbling too.
Miguel chuckles, finding the moment very silly. Especially because he knew you were embarrassed.
With your magic, you closed the door and turned to see Miguel again.
“Do you want to kiss me?” You ask him, shyly.
He rolls his eyes and leans to meet you in a kiss.
From inside the house, through the window, of course, everyone is looking at you and Miguel.
You can’t believe what’s happening. You haven’t even thought about the meaning of Miguel kissing you. You never thought about him in other way than just being your boss. But now, you like the butterflies he’s making you feel.
He has to almost kneel to meet your face and keep kissing you. And you find your way to hug his neck, making your witch hat fall.
“Even their outfits match” Peter points out. You had a black sweater, and Miguel had a grey one. You had a grey skirt, and Miguel had black pants.
“This is so weird…” Jess can’t believe it.
“Yes.” Everyone agrees.
Meanwhile, you were still kissing the man. You could easily end up falling in love with him.
Part two is coming.

Round 5 - Catholic Character Tournament
Tumblr media
Propaganda below ⬇️
Pope Pinion IV (Cars)
HELLO. IT IS I. THE GREAT AND ALMIGHTY ITALIAN TOURNEY. PLEASEPLEASE PUT HIM IN THERE WAS SO MUCH POPE DISCOURSE ON MY ACC AND HE WAS SOLOED IN THE FIRST ROUND BY LUIGI😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 PLEASE AVENGE HIMMMM
The existence of Catholicism in the Cars universe implies that there was (or at least there was believed to be) a car Jesus who died for the cars’ sins, and I for one would like to see how a car gets crucified or sins. I guess the blood/wine here would be gasoline, but what would the body/bread be? How did they sit at the last supper? What is the layout of car church? How does a car build a church? Do other human religions exist in the cars universe? How does a goddess with the body of a human and the head of a cat translate to a car? Do Buddhist cars rein-car-nate? Do cars have souls?
he lost the italian character tournament, he will win here
Harrowhark
I'm pretty sure you've already got plenty of submissions for her so I'll just say she was raised in what is basically a cult (technically a nunnery but let's be real) dedicated to keeping the body of the thing that will kill God behind the rock. One of their prayers is actually "I pray the rock is never rolled away". Harrow is extremely devout as penance for her earlier heretical actions in the tomb as a child (spoiler!) so the Catholic guilt really comes through
imagine being a catholic nun and you meet god, but it turns out he’s a twitch streamer from new zealand who became god because everything got a little bit out of hand. and just before you met him you gave yourself a diy grief-fuelled lobotomy with the help of your best frenemy. imagine how insane you’d be. now multiply that insanity by nine. that’s the fictional love of my life right there.
she meets god. she’s not inspired
she’s number one practitioner of space Catholicism. The locked tomb is chock full of Christian (catholic) imagery themes metaphors etc. just look at her she’s got a bone rosary
They're Catholicism with extra bones. Everyone is a nun. They have what is basically a rosary made from knuckle bones. They technically worship the same God as everyone else, but they're waaaay more focused on The Body in the Tomb (Mary) and we get a moment where we find out that while everyone else prays the equivilent of The Lords Prayer, they're doing the equivilent of Hail Mary. And they paint their faces with skulls.
She thinks leaving dry bread in a drawer is taking care of someone. She's in love with a 10,000 year old corpse (the same one they worship). She spent ALL NIGHT digging with her bare hands to make sure a field had bones every 5 feet so she could fight her girlfriend - I mean, greatest enemy. Spoiler territory: She's been puppeting her parents corpses since she was 8 years old. Instead of grieving her dead girlfriend, she gives herself a lobotomy. She makes soup with bone in it so she can use the bone IN THEIR STOMACH to try and kill them.
The author is/was Catholic and the entire series had heavy Catholic overtones. https://www.tor.com/2020/08/19/gideon-the-ninth-young-pope-and-the-new-pope-are-building-a-queer-catholic-speculative-fiction-canon/ A good breakdown of how it's Catholic
Anti-propaganda (spoilers)
I love the Locked Tomb series but Harrowhark has daddy issues with God, had a childhood crush on God's cryogenic partner, and is in love with God's daughter, not to mention that she's essentially a bone-bender. The religion on her home planet exists in a way that is technically against the will of the canon in-universe God, even. All of this to say, Harrowhark is heretical at minimum if not an outright witch. Terrible Catholic. Burn her.

Monster - Chapter 2.
Male! Wendigo x Female! Reader
Summary: In your last moments before death, you make a deal with the Devil himself. To provide it with as much food as you can from your butcher job to save your life and the lives of everyone around you. Even if it knows the amount of food you can give it still won't be enough, it goes along with your plan for whatever reason of curiosity it has.
DISCLAIMER!!! YOU CAN ONLY CONTINUE READING THIS BOOK ON WATTPAD AND AO3 UNDER @UrBigSocksSmell AND THE BOOK IS CALLED "Monster" UPDATES WON'T BE HAPPENING HERE ON TUMBLR ONLY THERE!!!
No real trigger warnings here if you dont count paranoia, some form of anxiety atacks mentioned and stalking I suppose.
"No, Mom, boyfriends don't come out of thin air." You scolded her over the phone while bits of bread crumbs spilled from your mouth and onto the already dirty tile floor.
"But what about Charles? He's single, right? Or maybe--" You cut her off, having swallowed the bite of food before she could talk any more nonsense.
"Mom, stop trying to hook me up with Charles. How many times do I have to tell you that he's only just a friend to me?" You were getting severely annoyed and angry at her as so many times you have before when having this sort of conversation.
"Fine, fine, but just know I said that about Martha when we were just friends." She put an emphasis enclosure on her last words and you guessed she did quotation marks as well. You had to roll your eyes in your chair at her comment while taking another bite.
It wasn't uncommon for her to all of a sudden mention a boyfriend when she called you on your lunch break and it was starting to get immensely annoying. You were sitting in your shop, far back where the meat was served and the people couldn't see you, eating a baloney sandwich from the market down the street while talking to your mother over the phone. Today wasn't good but wasn't bad either. It was good on the part of how many few customers there were and that you were finally able to relax from some non-specific person in mind. But it was bad when it came to how boring it was at work and how the outside felt like walking straight into a tornado.
"Now that you mentioned Martha, how is she?" You tried switching up the conversation from that embarrassing topic.
She chuckled before responding and it sent a sort of vibrating sound through the telephone. "She's doing well. She said that there's an action movie she heard about that she'd love to see with you. It was something called like 'Battle of the Manticores' or some shit like that." A light chuckle was heard from you at her cursing.
You got up from your chair, it making a squeaky sound on the floor that you cringed at, and were about to go and throw the plastic the sandwich was wrapped in while still having some food substance in your mouth.
"Y-Y/N?" Her sudden call-out made you perk up while walking and make a light 'mmh' sound for her to continue. "I've, umm, I've h-heard what happened at the town's square..." Her voice was low and nervous and the jittery tone she had before vanished as the tension slowly thickened. You stopped in your tracks and had to swallow down the lump in your throat and not just from the meat and bread that was in your mouth.
It's been a couple of days, maybe about a week since that.. incident. News had spread about it, everyone talked around and even articles were written of it possibly being a serial killer on the loose. It was clearly a cash grab at twisting the frightening truth but there still could've been a possibility. There could even be a possibility of another corpse hiding around yet to be discovered.
You've recovered since then. I mean, it wasn't anything that serious, just a dead scary-looking animal that made people vomit at just the look of it. Instead, everyone including you, was worried about what had caused it and if they posed a threat to the town. Who could've mauled down that corpse in such a disturbing and vicious way? Just a normal animal from the forest everyone's dramatizing to monetize? A psychotic human?..A monster? And if it had done that much bloodthirsty harm to just one animal, possibly and most likely more, what would it do to the entire town?
Nobody knew and it was the cause of all the nightmares you had ever since. Nightmares that made you face death itself. It just didn't help that even outside, in your already sleep-deprecated life, did the presence of death feel real. Even now when you were having a private conversation with your mother did the feeling of watchful white eyes of death on you every second never disappear.
In your desperate attempt to try and forget about it, you never mentioned it once to anyone, and for your mother to suddenly bring it up made every emotion you felt at that moment crawl back and shiver up your spine.
"H-Honey? You still there?" Your mother caught on to how quiet you had become. She could've never known how much all of the color you had on your face drained down and made you pale as a ghost.
"Where did you hear about it?" Your tone only thickened not only the tension but also the fear and worry in your mother.
"A-a friend of mine told me... " You continued walking while holding all your focus on her words and gripping the black Nokia phone tight with both of your hands. "She said that there was an animal eaten alive down at the town's square and that nobody knew where it came from and how it was caused." At the end of her sentence, you were about to throw the peace of plastic in the bin when you realized your coworker had forgotten to throw out the trash. At any different moment in time, you would've rolled your eyes at him in annoyance and groaned out at the newfound chore. This moment was different, it felt... unusual like something wrong was going to happen. It was something you had done so many times before but now that all the fear was back lashing on your trembling bones, it felt like something different had to happen.
"I was wondering what you have to say about it." Your footsteps echoed around the room on the tile floor and made you feel cautious about everything. It was only to go and throw out the trash your forgetful coworker left but now it almost felt.. unsafe.
"I-It was probably nothing. Just some animals killing other animals like nature made it be like." That was true, at least it was the truth you wanted to believe in and have been telling yourself for the entire week.
"You're probably right but.." The breeze of a chilly wind on your face made you feel cold when you opened the door to the back alleyway.
The alleyway was huge, it had graffiti around the brick walls, burned-out cigarettes and syringes probably used for drugs decorating the musty concrete floor. It was a very hidden and creepy place, near Rushell's dark forest, far where the sun didn't hit, and behind all the shops. It just wasn't fun that even within such a closed space, the tornado-like wind still had to torment you. One of the reasons why you didn't like visiting the place was how dark it was. You always feared something being in there, either a creep or something from the forest like a.. monster. There was some form of light, it being the street light towering over you and the various lights from the buildings, but even that didn't help in uncovering the white eyes lurking in the shadows.
"I don't know, I'm just worried about you, honey." You could barely make out her voice from the annoying and loud wind that made your hair run all over the place and roughly hold the Nokia phone with both hands. You opened the green and rusty dumpster as quickly as possible and threw the rubbish directly into it. It smelled horrible when you opened it as if accompanied by all of the cats and raccoons that ran away from the outburst of sound was a terrified skunk. You still felt the feel of how dirty the dumpster was even when you turned around and were ready to go back to where you came from.
"What do you think it is?"
That sudden question from your mother wasn't the only thing that made you pale in your tracks and taste a familiar bitter taste in your mouth.
It was almost nostalgic. To feel the same feeling you felt back then, minutes before, and again now. That same horror in your eyes, that same paleness in your face, and that same shiver hugging your spine. It wasn't anything that bloody and gory looking this time but it almost made you drop your phone into pieces. It was.. inhumane. No human or animal you knew existed could've done the havoc that was caused on the metal door of the butcher shop. There were claw marks ingrained on it and ripping the rusty metal like something was trying to get in. They were huge and reminded you of something only dinosaurs could make, huge as in whatever caused it could grab your entire face in just one of its hands. You feared touching the door handle now, scared of whatever caused it to jump out at you when you opened it. The damage done couldn't have been made by a cat or a raccoon, just the marks alone were twice their size, big, and the being..  could probably chew them up with just one bite... Was it ..trying to get in and eat--
"What do you think it is?" Your mother repeated herself.
It was a pause for a breath of air that felt like it lasted forever when you gathered your thoughts.
"I don't know.."

I must announce that this book hit over a 100 reads on Ao3 within A FUCKING WEEK!? I am in shook. W. T. F. Thank you all for reading this book, I am thankful that you clicked on my work out of all the books out there. (Totally didn't steal Chad Chad's outro) Please leave any sort of feedback, as a beginner author it will help me graciously. And please tell me if the build up and paranoia is accecutaed goodly.
I will probably be updating this book on a schedule weekly. It took me a week to write this chapter, with the amount of editing a had to do so I'm thinking of posting a new chapter every Friday or Saturday. I am not that busy at the moment with school and outside activities so it works out perfectly for me. Or I'll make it so I update every ten days like I saw someone posting on Wattpad do I don't know. It's still just an idea and I need to seriously do a lot more research on Wendigos so I can get as accurate as possible.
Have a lovely day, you deserve it because you made mine by just living and reading my display.

I can try to do graves, haven't quite gotten a good vibe off of him yet so lmk if you think anything is different!!
Graves is the type to have peppermint lodged into his cheek constantly, so most of yr kisses are rather minty.
Will always grill you a nice steak as a dinner date if given the option, sides + dessert and drinks included. He firmly believes that you need a roll or some type of bread with dinner.
Calls you good girl/boy/baby whenever you do something small for him, like bringing him something from one room to another.
He doesn't have many hoodies, and the ones he does are kinda ratty due to their age and the fact that he's taken them on missions. Some have permanent blood stains. He will buy a new one for you if you just ask.
Isn't much for out of the house dates. He spends so much time away from you and with others that he doesn't want to be surrounded by more people when he can finally have some peace with you. You help his mind quiet.
Says he isn't a holiday person but insists that the two of you at the very least decorate and watch movies while eating seasonal candies.
Often mocks your whining in bed, before telling you to hush and let daddy take care of it, like you know he will.
He's scared to bring kids into this world, knowing what he does. But you make him want to have that kind of life. The kind where he's happy and there more often, not waking you in the middle of the night with his tossing and turning from the terrors.
Doesn't care how you spend his money. Has a card made for you that's linked to his acc. He makes pleeeenty, so feel free to go on shopping trips whenever you want. Or need.
Sometimes he wishes he met you before he enlisted. Before he hardened. While he was still youthful and optimistic, not so blood soaked. He wonders what it would be like when he can't sleep on missions. How would your relationship be different.
Calls you darlin/lil darlin. Such as "c'mere darlin." Or "how's my lil darlin today? Behaving? Best be."
tehe -🦇
MY HUSBAND
Like I don’t talk about Phillip Graves enough or even Warren Kole but I love that little country man 😭 this was so good
I just want him to call me his “little lady”

When Life Gives You Onions
I craved more scenes with Will and Tessa and Lucie and Jesse, so that's how this one shot came to be. Bridget prepares onion stew to inadvertently declare her support for Jesse as the future head of the London Institute, an interest of his that he never confessed to anybody. This fic was inspired by several theories about Jesse becoming head of the London Institute after Will decides to retire. Enjoy and also read on A03 💜
It was a day like any other at the London Institute. Tessa, Lucie and Jesse were already seated at the table in the dining room, waiting for Will to arrive. He was always punctual when it concerned food, but that evening, something was delaying him.
“Where’s papa?” Lucie wondered loudly, looking at the door as if her father would appear out of thin air. 
“No idea, dear. I saw him a couple of minutes ago and he just told me that we should start eating without him,” she explained. “Maybe he had to look at some documents in the study, but I’m not sure.”
“You deceived me, Bridget,” they heard Will say from the corridor, his voice bitter. “Again! I told you that I don’t like onions.”
“Onion is good for your health,” she replied. “And for the stew. Don’t eat if you don’t want it.”
Will snorted and finally entered the dining room, a frown marring his face. 
“What happened, dear?” Tessa asked softly. Everyone could tell Will wasn’t in a good mood and that sometimes only his wife could make it better. “We could hear you from here.”
“Nothing, just Bridget as usual. She prepared onion stew again,” he shook his head. “Lately she's been preparing it at least once a week. I hate onions.”
“We know you do,” Lucie commented, exchanging a quick glance with her mother. Her father was a little picky sometimes.
“I asked her nicely not to prepare it when I’m here, but she still does,” Will rolled his eyes. “I wonder why.”
“Oh, I think I know the reason,” Jesse spoke for the first time. Everyone turned their eyes on him and he smiled awkwardly. “Bridget once approached me to ask which food I liked and I told her that onion bread was delicious. She asked me if I also wanted to try her onion stew and I said yes, and that was it. She didn’t ask me anymore. I do appreciate onion stew though.”
“How long ago was that?” Will asked.
“I believe… one month ago?”
“See, that’s when she started using more onions!” Will exclaimed and rolled his eyes. 
Onions are the bane of the blue eyed man resistance But they have pleased the green eyed boy existence I shall then prepare onions for the man’s annoyance Because someday, the boy shall be the one who will give me employance
They heard Bridget sing from the other room, and everyone started to laugh at once, even Will. “Okay, we got it, Bridget,” he hissed, but she continued with another tune.
“She probably really fancies you,” Lucie told Jesse. “And she even thinks you’re going to replace papa someday,” she said giddily. 
“It’s true, Jesse. Bridget may antagonize Will a lot but it’s not like she expresses her love for many people either,” Tessa offered him a smile. “And I think her opinion is long sighted.”
“What do you think, papa?”
Will was still frowning, deep in thought. He was about to answer when Bridget arrived with dinner, carrying a tray with a big pot on it. “Dinner is ready,” she declared proudly. “Onion stew, to toast the Blackthorn boy’s future as Mr. Herondale’s replacement.”
“You’re already kicking me to the curb,” Will replied sourly and glared at the woman. “I see now. It’s not fun, Bridget!” The woman didn’t answer. She just turned and went back to the kitchen, leaving them alone to eat. Will smelled the stew and made a face. “She’s just doing it out of spite, by this point.”
“I could tell her not to make it anymore, since she may listen to me” Jesse offered, but Will shook his head.
“It’s a lovely thought, but no,” Will grinned at him. “I dislike a lot of things and I’m very vocal about it but I’m also a grown man, which means sometimes I have to accept that things can’t always go the way I want to.” Tessa patted her husband’s shoulder in agreement and then they started eating, exchanging a few words every now and then, but not a word anymore regarding Bridget’s song.
After dinner was over, Lucie and Jesse retreated to the drawing room, a warm fire already burning in the hearth. “This must’ve been Bridget’s doing,” Lucie said with glee. The temperatures were dropping, and even if it wasn’t that cold, she’d rather not freeze. She took Jesse’s hand and they sat down shoulder to shoulder on two fluffy pillows on the rug. “She’s so smitten with you.”
“Do you think so?” he shrugged. “I believe she’s just nice because I’m a guest.”
“Trust me, she’s rarely this nice with anyone. I mean, she’s always been good to me, Jamie and mam, but she reprimanded me a lot when I used to sneak out and my parents didn’t know and she had to take me somewhere with the carriage,” she sighed when Jesse frowned at her confession. “But she treats you differently. She’s genuinely happy that you live here.”
“I don’t know. I just think she’s treating me like this because I’m a guest,” he insisted.
“You’re not the first person to stay at the Institute,” she reminded him. “And you’re not a guest! You’re going to be family, Jesse,” she took his hands for emphasis and squeezed. “You’re already part of the family. My parents adore you.”
He gave her his sweetest smile. As always, he couldn’t help but blush whenever he heard that word. “It’s nice to hear it,” he caressed her cheek. “Your parents are kind to me, and I’m thankful everyday that I get to live here as a shadowhunter.”
“What do you think about what Bridget suggested?”
“I will be honest with you,” he looked briefly at the fire, then back at her. They were close. “It does interest me. The Institute business, I mean. At first, I just wanted to make myself useful. I didn’t want to stay here and take advantage of your parents’ hospitality, and you know I’m also restless,” they both laughed. “I was fascinated by what you could do in this position. Not only the bureaucracy stuff, but also the diplomacy stuff. It is more than just being a shadowhunter. You build loyalties, you have to see that everything is fine and that the place is taken care of.”
“You are interested in taking father’s position, after all,” Lucie declared with a smirk. 
They were silent for a moment, and Lucie rested her head on his shoulder. He dared to hold her, and let his hand linger on her arm and rub the area gently. “I’m curious,” he muttered, “about your thoughts.”
“I’m not surprised that you like what my parents do,” she confessed. “They are amazing. The job is not easy by any means, and I can tell they have to endure so much because there are a lot of people who still have prejudices against their union and their position in our society,” she sighed. “You’ve spent enough time here, you’ve seen how they are and how my father is. He has charisma and he charms people, and I think you possess these qualities as well.”
“Just because Bridget likes me?”
“Come on, Jesse. You know it’s not just Bridget. I think James and Cordelia’s maid Effie is also smitten by you,” she said. “And Esme Hardcastle. Let’s not forget about her.”
“Ah, the family tree girl,” he nodded. “She once asked me if we were going to get married.”
“You affect people positively,” Lucie continued, ignoring the second comment. She was twisting her hands in her lap to find the words. “I’ve seen how people glance at you when we are at events. They wish to be considered by you. People are charmed by you when you answer their awkward and intrusive questions.”
“Some people really don’t know how to mind their own business,” he commented, “but that’s expected. That’s why I sometimes give them ridiculous answers.”
“You’re incorrigible,” she said. “And people seem to buy whatever you say. That’s why I believe you’d do well in papa’s role. Have you ever told him? I’m sure he’d be happy to help you.”
Jesse sighed. “No, not yet. I don’t know how he’d take it. You’ve seen him today, after Bridget sang that song. He’s still young, and it’s early for him to retire. And I’m still young, and I think I still have a lot to learn before I can apply for such a position.”
“Well, papa became head of the Institute at nineteen, Jesse,” she shrugged, and tilted her head so that her eyes would be level with his. “I don’t believe he’s going to retire any time soon, but I don’t believe he’s going to refuse to show you the ropes either. And mam too.”
“So, should I…” he let the question linger in the air.
Lucie nodded and offered him a loving smile. “You definitely should.”
Jesse beamed at her and kissed her hand. She placed her head back on his shoulder and he held her until she said she was too tired to stay there. Jesse agreed that it was time to sleep, and after he wished Lucie goodnight and was about to go to his room, Will appeared in the corridor, as if he had been waiting for him to be alone.
“Jesse,” Will murmured, his voice uncharacteristically low. “Do you have a minute?”
“Yes, of course,” he replied, trying not to sound too alarmed. Alarmed for what, though? It wasn’t like they were doing anything inappropriate in the drawing room. 
“Let’s go to my office,” said Will, without adding more. The two of them walked in silence, and this made Jesse expectant. He’d only been in Will’s office once, after he and Tessa returned from Idris where they had been tried with the Mortal Sword. He helped them store the Institute records back into their cabinets safely. Jesse had continued helping them at the Institute after then, but he never crossed the doorway to Will’s office again. 
The door was slightly ajar, and the soft light of the oil lamp created a homely atmosphere. There were two upholstered armchairs in front of the mahogany desk, and a couple of books lay half open by the edge. On the main chair, behind the massive desk, sat Tessa. She was reading, and when he and Will closed the door behind them, she glanced up and smiled in acknowledgment.
“Have a seat, dear,” Tessa said, and Jesse occupied the chair on the left, the closest to the window. Will sat on the chair beside him, to his surprise. 
When they were all seated, Jesse spoke first. “What’s wrong?” he wondered, shifting in his seat. It wasn’t the first time he had talked to Will or Tessa alone, and he knew they meant well. Still. He rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
“You have something in your hair,” Will said, and Jesse frowned, but he didn’t touch his head. He had probably noticed his uneasiness and wanted to make him comfortable. 
“Will,” Tessa reprimanded him, and the two exchanged a quick glance. 
“See? He knew it wasn’t true,” he said, and Tessa offered Jesse a sympathetic grin. “Jesse, son,” Will continued, his expression turning serious. “I think I left an answer hanging earlier, and me and Tessa talked about it after dinner.” Jesse, who was still not used to Will calling him son, gaped his mouth open slightly, but didn’t answer. “We know that you like to make yourself useful here, and we’re grateful for all the things you do.”
Jesse swallowed. “You don’t have to thank me. I know I have to earn my keep here.”
“See, I don’t think it’s just that,” Will tilted his head to the side. “We genuinely see that you care about the Institute. Not just because you live here and you believe you have to prove something to us because you intend to marry our daughter someday,” he said, holding his gaze. “You enjoy doing this. If there’s one thing I’ve learned while you’ve lived here, is that if you don’t want to do something, you simply don’t. You don’t do things half-heartedly. If you did not care about this place and it was all just an act, it would’ve ended a long time ago.”
He grinned at Will, not shocked that he knew how to read him. “I do,” Jesse answered honestly. “And I would really like to do more and to learn more from you, if you don’t mind.”
Will looked at Tessa briefly, and she smiled. “That’s all we needed to hear,” he grinned too. “If you want to learn how to take care of the Institute, we will help you, we will teach you. So that someday…” he trailed off, and offered a bigger smile. “Well, to start, first thing tomorrow I have to go run an errand,” he continued, standing up from his chair. He picked up a leather-bound book that looked old and worn from a shelf, and put it on the desk. Jesse realized that it was a romance novel. “Wait for me at ten at the portal downstairs. We’re going to Idris.”
“I really want to learn,” he said with confidence. “For that someday.” He was feeling suddenly refreshed and excited. “I’ll be there.”
Will seemed pleased, and he saw Tessa beam at him too. “Wonderful,” he said, and put a hand over Tessa’s shoulder. She touched his hand affectionately, seemingly happy about this new turn of events. “I’m sure you’ll like what we’re going to do tomorrow. It’s one of my favorite things to do,” he gazed away, lost in his thoughts. “Now, where did I put the newspaper?”
“Alright, I think I’ll go now,” Jesse considered the conversation over, and he stood up, politely wishing them goodnight. Will and Tessa told him to rest well, and Will added that he couldn’t wait to take him to run this errand the day after. He was content that they were so welcoming toward his career goal, and he couldn’t wait either. 
Jesse closed the door behind him, brimming over with excitement. He thought of knocking on Lucie’s door to let her know of the developments, which was something against the rules, when he heard Will and Tessa’s voices and decided to linger for a moment to listen. “You know, I’m so glad that Jesse wants to learn how to manage here,” Tessa said. “I did suspect he was interested, but we never talked about it.”
“Yes, I’m relieved that he finally told us. And I hate to say it, but it’s also thanks to Bridget and her onion stew song,” Will agreed, and Jesse could hear footsteps inside. Perhaps he was still looking for the newspaper. “Because when I’m old and I just want to enjoy the rest of my life, at least I know that there will be someone as dedicated as we were to look after our house,” he sighed. “I mean, I know it’s not our house literally, but – you get it.”
“I do,” she replied softly, and he could hear the hint of affection that both had for the London Institute. “I’m happy for him, glad he’s finding his way,” she continued, and a smile appeared on Jesse’s face. “It’s under that pile of books, your newspaper,” Tessa said. “Oh, and Will. Weren’t you going to read this tonight? For our challenge. You promised.”
Will sighed. “I haven’t forgotten, Tess. There it is,” he muttered after a beat. “I’m not in the mood for book romance tonight.” He heard Tessa laugh and then the exchange took a path that he wished to erase from his memory. He fled to his room, hoping to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a good day.

common laboratory bacteria ranked by smell:
Streptococcus anginosus: sweet and butterscotch-y. a favourite of all techs.
Candida albicans: a yeast. smells of rising bread dough and beer. some isolates produce this smell stronger than others, and more odorous organisms are sometimes shared among staff to enjoy the smell
Pseudomonas aeruginosa: sweet, like a fake grape flavour. reminds me of my childhood. sometimes compared to tortilla chips. always pleasant to encounter
Proteus vulgaris: not commonly liked, but i would describe its smell as akin to chocolate cake. others might call it fishy. a controversial fave
Staphylococcus aureus: on blood agar, the smell is reminiscent of that of unwashed human skin. reminds me of smelling people, which makes me like it
Coagulase negative Staphylococcus: similar smell to S. aureus
Klebsiella pneumoniae: a rectal smell somewhat like E. coli, but with more of a "wet dog" funk. i don't hate it
Haemophilus species: mildly unpleasant. a moist and musty smelling genus
Escherichia coli: the ambassador of the world of bacteria smells like you might expect bacteria to. i would not describe the smell as fecal, but certainly rectal.
Enterobacter cloacae: much like E. coli, but just noticeably worse. like you left your E. coli plate in a nasty bathroom
Fusobacterium nucleatum ACC 25586: QC for anaerobic jars. smells of rotting pumpkins, acrid flatulence, and bad breath all rolled into one. i refuse to work with it on benchtop

Unfortunately, You Are Experiencing Symptoms of Falling in Love: Part 7
Having your long-term boyfriend cheat on you is pretty bad, but you're lucky enough to have a rich, pro-hero best friend who lets you move in with him until you get a new apartment. Except lockdown happens. And you can't look for a new apartment anymore, and you can't go anywhere anymore, and neither can your best friend, and you think you might be falling a little bit in love with him. Or maybe you've been in love with him all along.
The story of how it takes a nationwide lockdown for you and Bakugou Katsuki to finally get together, part 7!
wordcount: 2,239
taglist: @stargazerunlimited @luna-bloodrose​​ @lov4kbg @fukyouthink​
Tumblr media
I'm back with an update (in less than a month no less)! I wrote this all in one night and stayed up rather late because I really enjoyed writing this chapter, so I hope that comes across in the work. Also, I wrote out a really detailed outline which helped me really get working as well. According the the outline, there should be around 7 chapters left, so I updated the work to reflect that. Of course that may change, but I will be sure to keep you all updated! This chapter might actually be my favorite I've written so far, and it does move the feelings along a bit, so please enjoy!
You had to admit, a part of you was more than a bit nervous about the prospect of spending the next weeks, or months maybe even (though hopefully not) with your best friend. Though he had always been nothing but kind and patient with you, a clear contrast to his treatment of almost everyone else, perhaps the constant exposure to you would irritate him and he would grow tired of you. Of course, you did have to give him credit. The past Katsuki might not have even let you into his house in the first place. And though he didn’t ever say it out loud, you knew he cared enough about you to at least not say anything if he grew bored or irritated.
Still, while you had originally been thrilled at the prospect of having less work and more time to relax, something you hadn’t had in a while, only one week in and you were growing bored already. It was odd to not be doing anything, even though not doing anything was actually the best thing you could be doing at the moment. Sure, Katsuki had set up a small workbench for you in your room so that you could tinker with things, but without access to the serious machinery you were used to constantly having available, you could only do so much. You were beginning to wonder if Katsuki would let you take apart all of his highly expensive watches so that you could reassemble them into a magnificent, one-of-a-kind watch. Instead, you found yourself in his ridiculously stocked kitchen making herbed focaccia so that you could feel like you were contributing in some way.
And honestly, it was pretty fun. Baking was sort of like making gear in a way, you assembled the parts and if it turned out wrong you were in trouble. Of course, if it turned out right you ended up with something pretty great. Depending on the results of your first real foray into the kitchen during your time in Katsuki’s apartment, you might just end up doing this more often.
Of course, besides the prospect of delicious bread, you had one other thing to enjoy as a result of your baking. The design of the apartment made it so that the kitchen island had a direct view to the workout room if you faced the right direction, and since for some reason Katsuki never bothered to close the door, while baking you had a complete view of him as he worked to stay in top shape. Honestly, it was like he was showing off or something. Not that you knew all that much about his workout routine, especially from a distance, but the amount and size of the weights he was using was truly mind-boggling. You had to give it to him, he was really in shape. You could see why he was consistently ranked among the top most attractive heroes.
Not that you were thinking about him like that, of course. It’s just that as his support technician, you needed to be aware of his body and its capabilities in order to design the best and most effective gear. And honestly, he couldn’t be leaving the door more open than it already was. And you had started making the bread first. Seriously, this was on him. His timing was weird. He was weird. He was… walking over to you?
Katsuki walked into the kitchen before you could really shake your previous unruly thoughts out of your mind and leaned over on the other side of the island. He was away from you but not quite far enough, arms flexing lightly as he grinned at you. He was wearing one of those black tank tops that he used to wear all the time back in high school, and you watched nervously as a bead of sweat rolled down the top of his torso to disappear between his pecs. You were almost scared to look at his face, but you forced yourself to meet his steady gaze. His grin widened wolfishly.
“Trying to take over my kitchen already, princess? You’re out of work for only a week and already you start going all housewife on me,” he says with snark, causing you to roll your eyes.
“Don’t make me move out on you, Katsuki, it’s not my fault I’m this bored. I can always go live in the workshop and tinker with gear to my heart’s content if I’m really bothering you that much,” you spoke back to him with equal teasing bite.
“But think of how lonely I’d get! Always nagging me about how I need to be more social yet threatening to leave me all by myself for who knows how long? I’m liable to go back to yelling at everyone I meet if you do that.” You laugh, and set your dough in the pan.
“At least you can admit to your past faults. Besides, I don’t think I could handle living by myself and being alone all day. No matter how much you bother me, I’m afraid you’re stuck with me.” Katsuki’s eyes flashed at your declaration, and he bounded excitedly over to you.
“Is that a challenge, princess? Because you know I always win whenever I set my mind to a goal,” he said grabbing you and throwing you over his shoulder with ease. You wiggled and hit his back, but to no avail.
“Put me down, you lout! I need to put the bread in the oven!” you complained, but he paid you no mind, instead throwing you down on his couch with a laugh.
“There you go, down, just like you asked.” You shook your head, moving to get up, but Katsuki grabbed your leg. “If you’re bored enough to make bread, why don’t we watch a movie or something? I’ll be honest with you since you can’t go and tell anyone else; I’m just as bored as you are. I’d kill to be out on patrol right now. Hell, I’d even file the paperwork after.”
That’s how you know he’s serious. You’ve worked with Katsuki long enough to know (to the eternal irritation of his secretaries) that he never fills out any paperwork unless absolutely necessary. So if he’s bored enough to do paperwork, he must be bored out of his mind. Of course, being in the same boat yourself, you can’t exactly make fun of him. And a movie might be nice.
“I guess we could do something, but I really do want to finish the bread first. You aren’t the only person in the apartment who can use an oven, you know,” you replied.
“I would hope not, since we’ll both be eating that and I’m not about to eat some shitty bread,” said Katsuki. “I pay for this apartment. Don’t waste my ingredients.”
“Like you would let me leave this apartment, no matter how much shitty bread I make. But I’ll admit that you were right, I am baking because I’m bored, just as much as you,” you disclosed reluctantly, not wanting him to think that you were unsatisfied with the apartment or his company when it was really nothing but the opposite.
“I’m always right, princess. You should know that by now at least.” He grinned, restraining you more tightly. The black tank top was really doing nothing to keep you from feeling the contours of his muscles. He was strong, no doubt about it. If he really wanted, he could keep you trapped here against him for as long as he wanted. Not that he ever would. Perhaps the only thing equal to his strength was his kindness, though he would kill you if he ever caught you thinking anything along those lines. You kept getting drawn into all these weird thoughts all of a sudden! His fault, of course, for being so clingy.
“What you are is sweaty, you lout! Go take a shower or something and stop making me all gross and sweaty just like you,” you fired back, to his amusement.
“Alright, alright, fair point. Guess I could use a shower. But seriously, do something with me. I feel like I’m going crazy here!” he whined. You had to sympathize with him. And you could have much worse company.
“Ok, we can do whatever, your pick, as long as you let me make this damn bread first. I’m not about to let you spoil all my hard work!” Katsuki let you go, nodding.
“Fair enough, I can take that shower you were bitching about while you finish up. But if I really get to pick we’re not just going to watch some dumb movie. You and I are going to swim in the pool. If I spent all this damn money on the shitty thing and never use it I’m going to be pissed.” You agreed happily. You had wanted to use the pool for a while, but you had never quite taken up the opportunity. You rushed back to the kitchen to finish your bread and put it in the oven.
Katsuki was done with his shower while there was about ten minutes left on the timer for the bread. He offered to keep an eye on it while you grabbed your swimsuit, which was just fine with you. At the very least, if the bread turned out horrible you could blame him at least a little. You rummaged through your drawers for your swimsuits, trying to think of the last time you had gone swimming. It was a while ago; Takumi had never really liked the water and so you never really went, seeing as all your free time was spent with him. Did you even have a swimsuit anymore? No way, you had to have a swimsuit, right? Right?
By the time the timer went off in the kitchen, you had accepted the fact that you just didn’t own a swimsuit, and would have to disappoint your friend. You moved slowly to the kitchen.
“Damn, well if you don’t look like someone ran over your childhood pet!” You shook your head sadly.
“I don’t have a swimsuit, Katsuki,” you said. He almost seemed to glare at you, bewildered.
“What do you mean you don’t have a swimsuit? Everyone has a swimsuit,” he asked in confusion.
“Not me. I just don’t have one. I’m really sorry, but it looks like I can’t go swimming with you tonight.” You felt awful. He had seemed genuinely excited to finally show you the swimming pool, and you had ruined his plan.
“Dumbass, just borrow mine. You’ll be fine.”
“I can’t just wear swimming trunks, Katsuki, are you insane?” He quickly cut you off.
“Calm down, you can just wear a pair of trunks and an old shirt, you’re overthinking things by a mile. Who’s going to see you? It’s just me.” That’s right. It’s just Katsuki. He doesn’t give a crap what you wear. You nod your assent weakly, and he quickly grabs you what he said he would.
You change in your room, pulling the drawstrings of the trunks tight to secure it. Even though the shirt was fresh, it still smelled a bit like him, all warm and smoky and comforting. You stepped out of the room, only to see him missing. He had likely headed up to the pool and you decided to join him.
Your guess had been correct, he was already submerged in the pool. The sun had sunk while you finished the bread, and faint stars glimmered through the windows while the moon shone down, reflecting off of the faintly rippling waters. Katsuki sat against the wall, and grinned brightly at you.
“See, what did I tell you? You look fine.” You looked more than fine to him. Seeing you wearing his clothes made him feel oddly warm, despite the slight coolness of the pool. As you carefully descended the steps, the hem of the shirt soaked up water quickly, clinging to the curves of your body in a way that was almost more revealing than it would have been if you had simply foregone the shirt. He knew he was staring, but he couldn’t help himself. You just looked too good in the moonlight, wearing his clothes like you had on the very day you arrived. He was feeling that weird pull in his chest again. Either he should never lend you anything ever again, or he should only ever let you wear his clothes again. He could definitely pay the people who did the laundry to “accidentally” burn all of your clothes. Yeah, that was a weird thing to think about. He wouldn’t ever want to force you to do anything. If you wore his clothes, he wanted it to be of your own free will.
The two of you swam mostly in silence under the half moon, but neither of you minded. The presence of the other was all that you needed, and when you finally went to be, you both felt recharged, and deeply grateful for the other’s presence right now.
That night, you feel asleep rather quickly. Katsuki, however, fell asleep less easily. Though he felt well at ease, for some reason, he kept getting distracted by thoughts of you. Remembering that you were only one room away finally helped him sleep, and when he finally did, you were in all his dreams as well.

Sweet Surprises - 00Q
James Bond returns from a mission from Finland tired but cheerful and armed with a little something sweet — well, several somethings, really — to make up for the long absence from London and his boyfriend.
Q is still at Six when he opens the door and steps in, dragging his luggage after himself and bending down to receive Aziraphale’s enthusiastic greeting in the form of eager little chirps and lots of headbutting. Crowley, ever the more wily one, is sitting by the coat rack and staring at him with wide, unblinking bright yellow eyes. James picks Aziraphale up, abandoning the suitcase by the door for the time being, and takes his time with cuddling him and telling him how much he has missed him and his brother before putting him down again and getting ready to wait patiently until Crowley deigns to come get his share of the cuddles.
He saw Q briefly after his debrief with M when he was dropping off his kit at Q Branch (and simultaneously locking himself and Q behind closed doors in Q’s office for a delightful fifteen-minute long I’m-happy-that-you’re-back-again interlude), but other than that they’ve been apart, both busy with their own obligations. Q did promise to leave earlier tonight, though, so at least there’s that. In return, Bond promised to have dinner ready and waiting, and he has big plans for dessert as well as dessert.
Finally, Crowley decides that he’s waited long enough and makes his way over to Bond. He accepts the pets as his due and looks personally offended when Bond doesn’t immediately dig out the cat treats that he knows Bond has hidden in his suitcase. Bond chuckles and shakes his head.
“All in good time, darling, all in good time,” he tells Crowley and gets an annoyed-sounding mrrrouw for his troubles.
“Cheeky Crowley,” he says affectionately, and watches as Crowley shows him his behind in retaliation.
Laughing to himself, Bond begins hauling his suitcase towards the bedroom. Both cats follow him there, naturally, because if anything, Q’s darlings are persistently curious. They sniff at each and every item Bond removes from his suitcase, from dirty laundry to the book he’d been reading in the evenings and his souvenirs to Q. When Crowley spots the cat treats he gives Bond such a betrayed look that Bond cannot help but soften and open the bag, offering both kitties a piece to see if they like it.
When they both paw at him for more, followed by a chorus of pitiful meows, Bond gives them one more piece each and then reseals the treat bag. “That’s enough for now. You’ll get more in the evening when Q returns,” he tells them. “But perhaps you’d enjoy these while waiting?”
He unearths two cat toys of different shape and colour — one is a green turtle that Bond had picked because its colour reminded him of Q’s eyes, and the other is a purple bunny — and puts them down on the bed. They’re both filled with catnip, and there’s a rubber ball inside of them that makes them jump into random directions. The clerc at the local pet shop had shown that to him and assured him that they would offer the cats hours of fun. Bond is a bit more sceptical, but he’s willing to try. If nothing else, Q’ll be happy that he’s been thinking about the cats while being away from them.
Aziraphale is the first to snatch the purple bunny away, leaving Crowley to lightly poke at the turtle with a curious paw, just as Bond had expected. They seem to be rather taken with their new toys, and Bond watches fondly as both cats carry their prey away from him and disappear from the bedroom.
That gives him ample time to finish unpacking, deal with the laundry and arrange Q’s souvenirs neatly on top of the coffee table in the living room. He’s looking forward to seeing Q’s expression, as he’d only hinted about the surprise that would wait for his boyfriend once he’d find his way home for the evening, appealing to his curiosity to encourage him to hurry home that much sooner. Q’s a curious man, not unlike his cats, and Bond has learned to use it to his advantage.
As one part of the surprise is a recipe that he’d received from his Finnish contact, along with the sweets that go with it, Bond glances at his wristwatch and estimates that he still has at least three hours before he can reasonably expect Q to arrive. It’s more than enough to make dinner, bake the biscuits using the recipe, and take a shower afterwards.
Tumblr media
The dinner would be relatively simple: his famous homemade lasagne he knows that Q loves, along with freshly made bread and a side salad. The biscuits would be easy to make yet delicious, his contact, a young woman in her mid-twenties called Lumi, had assured him. The latter he does know from experience, having tasted them one day while visiting Lumi; he’d asked her for the recipe before he’d left, hoping to be able to make them for Q in the future.
Lumi had been more than happy to help, and had presented him with the translated recipe the very next time they’d seen one another, written in her neat handwriting. She’d also asked to hear Q’s opinion afterwards, which Bond had easily promised. (He’d told her quite a bit about his boyfriend during downtime, and she’d even helped him look for some souvenirs for him. Privately, Bond thinks that she might even have fallen just a tiny bit in love with Q’s voice as she’d been given an earpiece of her own and had thus heard him speak several times. At least she’d gushed about his voice to Bond more times than he’d cared to count.)
Bond carries the recipe to the kitchen, and remembers to also bring along the bag of the Dumle sweets that it requires. He reads through the instructions carefully, smiling amusedly at her little personal notes sprinkled in between the text, and then gets to work. He does exactly as the recipe tells him to, and ends up with three baking trays full of lumps of batter that would, hopefully, turn into thin, crispy biscuits in the oven.
His first tray yields rather… interesting results, but luckily his second tray gives him biscuits that at least look like biscuits instead of this funny, stuck-together arch-like creation he’d managed as his first attempt. Bond snaps a photo of it with his mobile after putting his final tray into the oven, all the while wondering what he should do about it. Break it into smaller pieces by hand? Most likely, even though that would not give him the prettiest of results.
Tumblr media
Once finished with the biscuits and with the bread dough rising under a kitchen towel he’d brought to Q from Greece, Bond sits down on the table. With the cats reappearing and curiously watching his every move, he sends the photo of the first failed attempt to Lumi, and receives a very amused reply from her within minutes. I did warn you, it says, followed by a laughing and crying emoji. At least your boyfriend should get a chuckle out of it, she then continues, sounding a tad more comforting. And the taste won’t be affected either way.
Then there’s a five minute gap, before she sends one last message: I hope you’re better at following directions while cooking than when you’re baking, tacking a winking emoji at the end of the sentence.
Bond shakes his head, amused, but he does end up sending her photos of both the bread and the lasagna once they’re finished and waiting to be eaten, just to prove to her that he definitely is.
*
Q arrives five whole minutes earlier than Bond had estimated, and he all but drops his bag and outer layers right there by the door in his haste to greet Bond with a long, passionate kiss. Bond, who has just finished setting the table, wraps his arms around Q’s waist and lets himself be walked against the closest wall by his eager boyfriend. He’s perhaps a touch amused at the sudden display of possessiveness from his generally more submissive lover, but he has nothing against being the less aggressive one for a change.
“Someone’s eager,” he purrs, grinning, when they finally pull away enough to take in some much needed air.
“I’m impatient,” Q corrects him, leaning closer to place a gentler kiss against the corner of his mouth. “And perhaps a little bit desperate. But can you blame me? You’ve been gone for five whole weeks, and I’ve barely seen you at all today.”
“I am fully aware of that,” Bond says. He brings one hand up to Q’s hair while his other hand that’s still around Q’s waist tightens just a bit, and enjoys having access to that lovely mess of curls again. He’d missed it, and everything else about Q, like he’d never missed anything ever before.
Q smiles softly at that. “I missed this,” he murmurs against Bond’s cheek.
“I know you did,” Bond says teasingly. “Though as much as I’m enjoying this now, the dinner is ready, and I’m sure that you’ve not eaten anything since breakfast.” At Q’s decidedly guilty look Bond snorts and gently pushes him away.
“Right. Come along then, darling, and let me feed you.”
Q comes willingly, allowing Bond to lead him straight to the dining room. There he proceeds to practically inhale two big portions of lasagne, a heap of salad, and several slices of bread, along with three glasses of the fine red wine Bond had bought for the occasion.
Pleased, Bond eats his share of the food and regales Q with a few selected tales from his mission, those of which he hasn’t already shared with Q on the phone. Q’s the best audience he could ever hope for, laughing at exactly the right places and saving his eye rolling only to where it’s definitely needed.
Afterwards, Bond clears the table while Q takes care of brewing them a pot of tea. (Q’s skills vastly exceed his in that department, and Bond has decided it’s best to leave the task to Q’s capable hands most of the time.)
Bond has hinted at a special dessert, and Q’s visibly brimming with curiosity, but he’s trying to keep it contained for the time being. At least until the tea is done, Bond hopes, and brings out their tea mugs.
Only, the mug he hands to Q is a new one, a Moomin one he’d brought to him from Finland, and he tells Q exactly that.
“Oh, thank you,” Q says, accepting the mug and turning it around in his hands to see it from all sides. “It’s lovely. Is it Sniff? And he has a cat, too.”
Bond nods. “You’re correct. I had a hard time choosing the right character for you, but the cat was certainly a deciding factor.”
Q smiles. “I did guess. And I do like it a lot. Thank you, James.” He leans closer again and presses a light kiss to Bond’s cheek, which makes Bond pull him closer with wrapping an arm around his waist. Careful of the mug Q’s still holding, Bond captures Q’s mouth in a deeper kiss, one that lasts until the tea pot whistles and forces Q to reluctantly pull away again.
While Q prepares their tea, Bond goes to get the plate of biscuits he’d assembled earlier (he’d stashed the broken ones away for later and used only the ones that he’d actually gotten right) and brings it with him to the living room. Q follows soon after, careful due to the hot teas and the fact that both Aziraphale and Crowley have reappeared and are trying their best to make him stumble and fall. Or perhaps they just want attention, as Q has been focusing most of his on Bond tonight, which tends to make the kitties jealous.
Bond waits until Q has placed the mugs down on the coasters on the coffee table and sat down next to him on the sofa, with the cats sleeping wrapped up with each other on the other sofa, before he wraps an arm around Q’s shoulders. “Are you ready for your dessert, darling?”
“You know I am,” Q replies, smiling, and turns to take a proper look at the plate of biscuits. Bond can tell that he’s curious about the rest of the souvenirs, too, but he’s too polite to outright ask. Well, right away, anyway.
“I baked the biscuits for you,” Bond explains, “using a recipe I got from Lumi. She made sure that I had the right sweets for it, and that I’d have extras for you to try on as well.”
“That’s very nice of her.”
“Go on, then, try one,” Bond ushers him.
Q has a biscuit and then another one, and he ends up feeding Bond bites from the second one when he notices that Bond hasn’t yet eaten any. (Bond did have a few of the broken pieces earlier, and he’ll eventually confess all of that to Q, too. But later. Tomorrow, perhaps.) When he’s done and is playfully complaining about his sticky fingers, Bond solves it by licking them clean himself and making Q flush and poke him on the side with his free hand while he’s at it. Bond still considers it a fair trade-off.
Afterwards, once they’ve both finished their teas and Q has washed his hands because “That was hardly hygienic, James!” although Bond digresses, Bond finally gives Q his souvenirs.
There are several bags of different kinds of Finnish sweets (including a box of salmiakki, the salty licorice that most of the Finns seemed to love — although Lumi had assured him that it was an acquired taste she herself couldn't stand) as well as a high pile of Fazer chocolate bars in all the flavours they had available, all of which Bond had chosen with Q’s famous sweet tooth in mind. There’s also a selection of homemade berry preserves and powdered berries Bond has bought straight from the people who’d made them, three packages of flavoured Nordqvist loose leaf tea, and two bottles of alcohol: a bottle of cloudberry liqueur and another of Koskenkorva vodka, both of which are typical Finnish alcoholic beverages. At least according to Lumi, who should know these things.
The final souvenir is a pair of knit woolen socks that were actually made by Lumi herself. She’d made another pair for Bond, too; Q’s pair is green like the colour of his eyes and adorned with cats, while Bond’s is bright blue and decorated with miniature replicas of his trusted Walther. Bond had laughed when he’s seen them, but he appreciates them greatly, and he’s looking forward to seeing Q wear his.
“Well,” Q says, sounding amused at the amount of sweet things that Bond has brought back, “at least we don’t have to buy any jam for a while. Or chocolate. Please tell me that you left something for others too?”
Bond huffs. “So perhaps I got a little overboard.”
“A little!”
“Hush, you. The selection there is rather extensive, and I didn’t want you to feel left out.”
“And I appreciate it,” Q says. “I really do. But having you back home with us is more than enough.”
“I hope that you’ll like the socks at least,” Bond says. “Lumi knit them herself.”
“They’re adorable and I love them. Do remember to tell her that when you give her my thanks.”
“Of course. And I will expect to see you wear them, too. But not right now. There’s something else I’d rather see you wear.”
“Which is?” Q asks, raising an eyebrow.
“Absolutely nothing at all.”
“Really now? Well, I suppose it can be arranged,” Q says, his eyes sparkling. “If you’ll follow me…”
Bond smiles as he gets up and follows Q to the bedroom. He’ll send Lumi the promised text later. Much later, if everything goes according to plan.

call boy | gmbyn | Timothée Chalamet
Tumblr media
I almost said his name.
Some girl, I don't keep track of their names at this point, has her lips attached to a particularly sensitive spot on my neck, and I almost said his name. The thought of what I almost did causes a feeling of disgust to run through me, and the mood is killed. I sigh in annoyance, and push her off of me as politely as someone can in this situation.
"What's wrong?" She asks, narrowing her blue eyes at me.
"I have somewhere to be," I lie, my voice completely flat.
She rolls her eyes. Without another word, she hops onto her bike leaning on the side of the building we made out against. She rides away without looking back—typical Italian girl. They get so wounded when I refuse to date them after we sleep together. Just because I fucked you doesn't mean I care about you, you know?
"Ciao!" I yell sarcastically, earning a red manicured middle finger in response.
A tiny smirk appears on my lips. Once again—nothing I'm not familiar with. As I look around me, my fingers working to button the baby blue collared shirt I'm wearing, my eyes scan the streets. Warm buttery light washes over the pavement, and it smells of espresso and dew. It's only ten in the morning.
I could bike, but the heat is sweltering, and I don't feel like renting one and expelling any effort to pedal. I take to walking home instead, since it isn't far, and hum softly to myself, and glance towards the small coffee shop on the street near my villa.
Sharp pain eases it's way back into my chest, and I sigh, tearing my eyes away from the people I see sipping their espressos in the window of the café.
I'm reminded of him everywhere.
______________
I shove open the front door, and am immediately greeted with the scent of baking bread.
"Mama!" I call, my voice echoing off the high ceiling of our house.
She's in the kitchen, her dark curly hair, which I inherited, twisted up into a bun. She turns when she hears me enter the room, and smiles, the crows-feet beside her eyes not doing anything but making her prettier, if possible.
"Tesoro mio," she greets, and pulls me into a warm hug, the smell of cinnamon and vanilla engulfing me.
"Ti amo," I mutter into her shoulder, and pull away to snag a slice of the fresh bread on the counter. "ciao."
She waves me off, an amused look on her face,  and I scamper away, heading upstairs to my room. The second I'm in, and shut the door, I'm tugging my shirt off, tossing the soft blue material onto the floor. As soon as it's off, I feel ridiculously empty—I'm absolutely stupid, it's just a shirt.
But it's not just a shirt.
Refusing to let my thoughts wander any further, I walk into the bathroom, tugging on a clean black sweater as I do. It's huge and swallows my frame like a gigantic black hole. I turn the sink on and splash cold water onto my face, taking in a deep breath. The skin under my eyes is dark and a little puffy, since I haven't gotten a proper night's sleep since summer.
Not since Oliver.
"Elio! Elio come downstairs, hurry!" My mother calls, and I sigh a little, pulling my eyes away from my reflection.
I shuffle my feet on the stairs, and jog lightly into the living room, where my mom holds the telephone, her eyes wide. Nerves? Excitement? I can't tell. The look she gives me makes me a little sick, and I already know who it is before she tells me.
"Oliver," I hear, and the voice sends my stomach into knots. My chest is tight, and my throat feels like it's being squeezed. My mouth is dry.
"E-Elio," I choke out, once my mother leaves the room to give me some privacy.
"How um," Oliver's voice sounds nervous. I can almost picture the expression on his face—eyebrows furrowed, most likely chewing on his bottom lip as he searches his mind for words. "how are you doing?"
I don't know how to reply. Do I tell him I'd never drank alcohol before I met him? Before he left? Do I tell him I can't count the amount of girls I've slept with in the past few months on two hands? What am I supposed to say to that question? What am I supposed to say at all?
"I miss you." I mumble into the receiver, completely evading his question.
He starts to reply, and is cut off by someone I can't see. I hear him laughing, and a girl's voice muffled in the background. My heart drops into my stomach, and the oatmeal I had for breakfast is threatening to come up.
"Oliver?" I question, my voice sounding weak when it leaves my mouth, and I cringe internally. I hate the sad little boy he reduces me to.
He sighs happily, and I hear the girl's laughter in the back fade, and he when he finally speaks, my heart feels like it's being squeezed.
"Sorry, Cherie's always messing with me when I'm on the phone, she loves attention."
My mind is racing. There's no way he'd talk so casually about someone else on the phone with me. Me. He wouldn't...right?
"Cherie?" I repeat, my voice strained.
Oliver coughs awkwardly, and that's enough answer for me. He doesn't reply for several moments, and I exhale shakily.
"What did you call about, Oliver?" I ask, trying to keep my tone steady.
He's quiet, continuing not to answer, and I wonder briefly if he hung up.
"I remember everything.." he whispers, as if not wanting to be overheard, and I squeeze my eyes shut, fighting the tears in my eyes.
"Oliver I—"
"Wait, please," he interrupts, and continues without my reply. "I called to invite you to my wedding. I know it's short notice, but it's this Saturday. Your parents already said you guys would be coming. I had plane tickets booked."
My mind is reeling.
"You can't be serious?"
"Before you say anything, just know that I've been debating for months about when to call you. If I should call you at all—even. But Elio—god, Elio...I need to see your face again. I need to—" He stops.
My heart is pounding hard. I want him to say the three words I've wanting to hear—since summer, right now, every single day. But he doesn't say them, and that hurts me even more.
"Please come to the wedding," he finishes, and sighs. "I wont take no for an answer."
Before I can reply, he hangs up, and I'm blinking slowly, the moisture in my eyes dispersing as I try and wrap my head around what's going to happen in the next few days.
(A/N) Hola this is the first chapter, one-shot of my book on Wattpad, I’ll Call You By Mine. If you like it my acc is miashcaluke, ty for reading bbs

Dating » Lucas (NCT)
.•° ✿ °•. navigation
Tumblr media
-- What it’s like to date Lucas from NCT (based on my assumptions). Enjoy! 
»•» OVERALL:
Tumblr media
- lucas is a loud dork so when i say that he is even more of a mess with u i mEAn it
- he’s like hella caring too so if he suspects that you’re feeling down even the tiniest bit he instantly forgets everything’s he’s doing - or supposed to be doing - and turns his attention onto you. unless he’s the one you’re mad at but that’s a different story
- a lil cringy and shows off his girlfriend a lil too much but as if you’d complain
- but he’ll also show himself off and make you brag about him and his biceps but tbh you how can u not
- doesn’t understands periods but still suggests he goes out and buys u things like food and pads. tampons still scare him. 
- he also googles on what will help cramps and even though you already know you still thank him for it
- randomly speaks in korean? and cantonese? as if you understand?
- he also tries pronouncing the words with an english accent in hopes of u getting it
- “i’m a multilingual king, babe”
- will make fun of your height no matter how short or tall (but u know he’s joking cos he’d never be an ass on purpose huehue)
- giggly boy
- “babe.”
- good morning texts!! he even like tracks down your time when he’s away or you’re away or if the timezones are plainly different uwu
- hand literally the size of your head
- “whenever you cup my face i feel darkness engulfing me”
- “big hands... you know what they say.”
- “lucas no that’s not even how it goes”
- u own a collection of his shirts that he keeps growing out of
- so chessy! but he’s so smooth! especially when you make self-deprecating jokes
- “dude i’m such trash”
- “then let me take you out ;)”
- you’ll be constantly reassured that you’re his world and that he loves you
- he makes u do cheesy romantic stuff and tbh it doesn’t turn out to be as bad as you think (most of the time)
- matching lockscreens
- hate will often bring him down but knowing there’s someone like you by his side (as well as the members obvs) he slowly begins to ignore the messages. he’s a strong individual and with a lil help gaining his confidence from his friends, family, and partner he knows how to turn that frown upside down 
- will always cuddle and if you’re both on the couch his head will find a way onto your lap
- loves when you play with his hair and loves playing with yours right back
- couple outfits!! over-the-top matching but at least it shows that you’re each other’s 
- he said “i love you” first
- however cringy or weird this kid is, he still remains your best friend and you his.
»•» DATES YOU GO ON:
Tumblr media
- amusement parks! this big child will go bloody bananas over some swinging boat ride and literally scream the whole time hE IS 7 DO U UNDERSTAND-
- he drags you onto roller coasters which i would’t say you’re very fond of but at least you get to slyly hold his hand uwu
- but then again he also doesn’t mind taking you to some park for a quiet walk and maybe a coffee shop after
- he’s a very chill guy if i’m honest he don’t mind he don’t judge
- respectful of your choices too  
- cuddle dates are also an option
»•» PET NAMES:
Tumblr media
- “babe”
- “sweet”
- “my love”
- “my lady” (i’m sorry)
- pretty much anything else that comes to mind tbh but those are his main ones
- also comes up with weird shit too like ur waking up and all of a sudden you’re being called an egg mcmuffin
»•» WHILE ON TOUR:
Tumblr media
- tbh this boy whiny all the members are begging you to call him so he stops complaining that he’s away from his egg mcmuffin
- constant texts
- sends memes (when he finally gets them cos he is also 80)
- when he doesn’t have access to his phone he asks for mark’s or whoever is around bc he can’t cope
- again,, good morning/good nigh texts
- when on call at night he waits for you to fall asleep then ends the call
»•» ARGUING/MAKING UP:
Tumblr media
- he can’t
- literally like you guys don’t really fights only when like when he was being dumb and shoved a fork into the toaster bc the bread wasn’t popping out and you were concerned for his safety
- at first he tries making jokes but then he realizes that you’re genuinely upset and his dorky demeanor will fade 
- he prefers to not yell or break anything because that’s just not the way he rolls
- he doesn’t touch you (he’s big on personal space) and when he realizes he’s wrong he won’t look at you as he’s a guilty pup
- but if he’s confident that he’s right, he’ll stand his ground and as calmly as possible try to explain his point of view
- sometimes it does get heated and he raises his voice, but he’s very conscious when he does it, so if he yells, it’s for a reason
- you always make up - he never goes to bed (and doesn’t let you either) until you guys are completely off each other’s dick
- sometimes you end up BEING on each other’s dick tho (reader in this case isn’t limited to female)
- so spEAKING OF DICK-
»•» NSFW:
Tumblr media
- tbh i’ll probably be doing a nsfw a-z on lucas so here’s a summary
- loud! just as he is outside of the bedroom, he is inside
- is so up to trying new things and toys and positions but also respects you and your opinion so if you say vanilla ya’ll go vanilla
- won’t degrade,, he can’t do that to his egg mcmuffin queen
- not acc that kinky?? mostly because he was a virgin before you met lmaoo
- excited!! he’s always hyper even if it’s like hella romantic and sensual he hyper
- needs your guidance sometimes so he likes you on top cos he wants you to feel good first his own pleasure is nowhere as important
- repeatedly say that he loves you and likes it when you repeat it back (you always do)
Tumblr media
right folks thanks for reading i really appreciate it i know this was messy and very casual but tbh i only properly write when it’s a book and yall know ya girl aint that commited sooo

tagged: stole from my old accs kjhsdkfhksjd 
tagging: PLEASE STEAL IT FROM ME
Tumblr media
aphrodite: laughter-loving, sweet smiles, dressed in silk and satin, flower in their hair, thrives on attention, sees the world as a runway, unapologetically sexual, the sea washing their ankles, in love with love, stirrer of passion, cunning concealed by painted lips, secret daggers, doves, revolution in their kiss, delighting in the waves, flirtatious winks, strolling along the beach, staring wistfully from a balcony, this is how to be a heartbreaker, your girlfriend thinks they’re attractive, wants to be adored, gets turned on my danger.
apollo: glitz and glamour, art galleries, turning the volume up, being made of gold, neatly-organized music sheets, notebooks filled with poetry, bathing in the sunlight, the powerful urge to create, collecting vinyl records, beautiful cover of wonderwall, playing multiple instruments, tasting like sunshine, healing touch, speaking in prophecies, smile mingled wrath, shunning lies, sporting shades, hanging out at music festivals with their friends, sleeps naked, arrow to the heart, paint brushes, probably has a Tinder account.
ares: armed for battle, wants to raise a dog with their significant other, soft spot for children, gives piggyback rides, scarred body, blood on their hands and face, willing to fight the world for the ones they love, fights against injustice, warm hugs, well-worn combat boots, boxing gloves, bandages wrapped around bruised knuckles, fist raised in protest, ignites revolutions, fear is a prison, more sensitive than what their tough shell will make you think, exhausted, damaged goods, force to be reckoned with, red roses, curses under their breath.
artemis: keen sense of a hunter, freckles like constellations on their skin, piercing eyes, disheveled braid, moonlight peeking through the shadows, the calm of the forest at night, lying on the grass and staring at the stars, mother doe and her fawn, protecting their kin, the moon shimmering on a still lake, quiver full of arrows resting against the bark of a tree, running with wolves, bonding while circled around a campfire, not being much of a people person, arrow hitting a target, popping egos, patience on 3%, touches heaven and returns howling.
athena: discerning gaze, unreadable face, the patience of a lifelong teacher, quiet museums, owl perched on their finger, armor that intimidates, eye for architecture, plays the sims for the sole purpose of building houses, studied the blade while everyone else was busy getting laid, big fan of logic, loves brain teasers, go-getter balls of wool displayed on shelves, ancient buildings, sweaters in neutrals and cool colors, hair done up, can kill you with their brain, heads to the library often to research, sharpened pencils, abs that can cut steel, stoic statues, pottery classes.
demeter: soil-covered hands, smile that can bloom flowers, skin loved by the sun, being the mom-friend, can lift you and your friends, flowers kept in the pockets of overalls, takes pride in their beautiful garden, speaks to their plants (elementals), leaves rustling in the wind, stalks of wheat, picking fruit, greenhouses, heart as strong as a mountain, values simplicity, daisies dotted across a collarbone, curls crowned with flowers, folded pile of sweaters in warm hues, pulling out fresh-baked bread out of the oven and the smell wafting through the air.
dionysus: drunk shitposter, on their sixth glass of wine before you’ve even finished your second, seductive smirks, untamed curls, rich fabrics on dark skin, sleek-furred panthers, theater masks, stage productions, receiving a standing ovation, rose caught between their teeth, being the baby of the bunch, wild parties that last from sundown to sunup, creeping vines, inspiring loyalty, grand opera houses, masquerade balls, rolls of film, shattered chandeliers with broken glass scattered across the wine-spilled floor, pouring champagne into flutes, lives for the applause.
hephaestus: the calloused hands of someone who knows labor, sweaty brow, flame burning in their eyes, inventive mind, broad shoulders, steampunk goggles, nuts and bolts stored away in little boxes, ashes, striking a match, blueprints for future projects, fixing up a busted up car and giving it cool upgrades, wrestles with bitterness, work boots have seen better years, wrinkled plaid shirts, iron melted in blazing fire, huge jackets, crafting masterpieces, greased-stained overalls, fascination with robotics, pain is fuel, stack of weaponry, even their muscles have muscles.
hera: resting bitch face, dressed to the nines, cows grazing on a pasture, cool rain, loving and hating fiercely, hand clutching a string of pearls, large chandelier with glittering crystals, plays the sims for the sole purpose of killing off their sims, romance to realism, pictures of the sky while flying on a plane, files that under fuck it, downs glasses of wine as they relax with a scented bubble bath and netflix, like their selfie or you’re grounded, knows 57 convenient ways to murder a man, dark eyes that penetrate your soul, marble and gold.
hermes: devil-may-care smile, ink-stained hands, always up-to-date on the latest technology, will steal your french fries, does it for the vine, shitposter, puts googly eyes on everything, meme hoarder, long drives on the highway, ma and pop diners, spontaneous road trips, folded maps, fingers dancing across the keyboard of a laptop, shooting hoops on the basketball court, chatting up strangers as you all journey to your own destinations, goes jogging in the morning, mixes redbull with coffee, menace on april fool’s, hoodies and sneakers.
poseidon: storm with skin, colorful coral reefs, waves crashing against the shore, the sea casting its spell, stroking the soft fur of a cat, their heart pounding as their horse’s gentle trot speeds into a gallop, tousled locks, clothes smeared with paint,owns several sketchbooks yet always yearns for more, leather jackets, fondness for diy projects, handwriting that flows across the page, nimble fingers playing the strings of a violin, velvety singing voice that haunts your dreams, mood as ever-changing as the sea, the roar of a motorcycle compass with a spinning arrow.
zeus: thunder in their heart, running on coffee, flash of lightning, natural charisma, eloquence, badass in a nice suit, aficionado of history, force of nature, lenny face, pretends they don’t have feelings but they do, nightmare-filled nights, proud arm around their lover’s waist, high-rise buildings, planes soaring through a cloudless sky, technician on the piano, maintains order, strong handshake, juggling multiple events on their busy schedule with ease, most likely to be voted class president out of their peers, expensive watch.
