*Lonely Nights*:

Take me the night!

Tonight, I want a experience never lived before.

I wanna new. I wanna now.

My mind wait for to prove a good feeling right.

I’m alone in this club dear. I wanna drink.

Met at love. Shake it off.

I need dance all night and forget who i am.

Smoking my feels blues and shaking out.

It’s seemed a funny, but it’s like a trash.

Tomorrow you body call the felling again.

Come it, put your heart on the shelf.

Can’t you feel sad here tonight.

The DJ plays the song and so young here.

Close your eyes, imagine that…

Space flies, stops time, we,ve all

Lost in night,

and don’t wanna be found

See me falling without directions now.

Nights burn on fire.

girls rolls in the ground.

Blind in your minds, waiting for the sun comes up.

Flying in the time.

don’t have time to cry.

Growing up and inviting the stars to dance with ya.

Into the feeling, leave the music plays in the bar.

Breathe, free your heart, express here and now cause I lost in the night.

Lost in the night.

(Kiss someone, kiss me one more time.

Touch me like a breeze and kiss me like a lost in the night).

Lost in the night.

(You have one night, freak and joy now.

Don’t wake up today. I am lonely in love with the night).

19 LGBTQIA+ Artists You Need to Listen to This PRIDE

PRIDE is all about self-empowerment and self-determination. It’s about not just being comfortable with who you are but showing the world that there is pride to be found in being unapologetically you. And that’s why, this PRIDE, we wanted to shine a light on a small handful of our favorite LGBTQIA+ artists. Ranging from rapturous hyperpop, revelatory bossa nova meditations, romantic rave music, and everywhere in between, these are 19 LGBTQIA+ artists who deserve a spot on your PRIDE playlist and every playlist for that matter. 

girl in red

In her debut single, “i wanna be your girlfriend,” a teenage girl in red unapologetically sings of young queer love over a mesh of lofi production and jangly instrumentation that would come to define much of the bedroom pop genre. It is a standout moment of unrelenting honesty, and a serenely simple three-minute confession that would go on to strike a chord with millions who were afraid of what it meant to be something more than friends. Now, a few years later and following the release of her critically-acclaimed debut album, if i could make it go quiet, Ulven still writes with that same emotional honesty, putting forth every ounce of herself for the world to see. 

Meet Me @ The Altar

“the little lonely black alt girl i was in the 00s is living rn, she never even dared to hope she might see this 💖💖,” reads the top comment on Meet Me @ The Altar’s music video for their single “Garden.” It is a sentiment shared by much of the rising band’s fanbase, who are used to the mainstream alternative scene championing cis white males. Existing in the space between pop-punk and hardcore, Meet Me @ The Altar exists to challenge the notion that queer women of color don’t have a place in punk. And after penning a record deal with Fueled By Ramen, home to the likes of Paramore, Panic! at the Disco, and nearly every pop-punk band that made up your middle school playlist, chances are this is just the beginning for our new favorite punks.

THE BLOSSOM

For Lily Lizotte, better known as THE BLOSSOM, music exists as the synthesis and subsequent recontextualization of a host of past experiences. From the sound of their dad belting away in his home studio to stumbling upon niche Internet subgenres, THE BLOSSOM transforms all this and more into a sound that is instantly recognizable but impossible to perfectly place. The culmination of this host of influences takes sweeping sonic form on their debut EP, ‘97 BLOSSOM, a perfectly imperfect introduction to one of the most fascinating rising artists of recent memory.

BIMINI

You may recognize BIMINI as Bimini Bon-Boulash, the runner-up on the second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. And now you should familiarize yourself with Bimini, brit-pop extraordinaire. Releasing their debut single “God Save This Queen” earlier this June, Bimini deftly channels late ‘90s brit-pop and punk to deliver a single that has us absolutely living for the ensuing chaos. Serving up multiple looks throughout its eye-catching music video, “God Save This Queen” is not just a non-binary anthem but a veritable 2021 lookbook.

Hope Tala

With a sound that falls somewhere between turn-of-the-century R&B and bossa nova, Hope Tala’s music is expectedly a dream given sonic form. Perhaps that’s why much of the UK singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist’s music is able to so deftly weave imagery of love, heartache, and teenage fistfights into tightknit tracks that feel simultaneously transcendental and deeply personal. And with the release of her 2020 EP, Girl Eats the Sun, Hope Tala poses one all-important question, “Why have a life if you’re not going to do something crazy and make a difference in the world?” 

chloe moriondo

For much of chloe moriondo’s avid fanbase, watching her transform from budding ukulele sensation to pop-punk phenom very much meant watching her grow up. Getting her start on YouTube, moriondo's fanbase witnessed her evolve as both an artist and person. Coming out in the aptly titled “a ramble about self identity, growth, and being a lesbian,” to be a fan of the artist often feels like trading secrets with a close personal friend. It is a sentiment that rings all the more true upon delving into her debut album, Blood Bunny. Grappling with coming-of-age at the axis of empathic pop and euphoric pop-punk, Blood Bunny sees moriondo taking yet another impressive step forward.

Godford

Little is known about Godford beyond what can be garnered from a handful of interviews online and his succinct Spotify bio, and chances are he’s happier that way. The anonymous DJ and producer aims to make non-binary music that exists outside of the confines of genres, overly-simplified classifications, and even himself. What is important are the emotions his music hold and what his listeners take away. Fusing romanticism and rave in his debut album, Godford: Non Binary Place, the anonymous artist does just that. He provides a space that exists simultaneously everywhere and nowhere, like an ephemeral night spent out on the dancefloor with a stranger or close friend.

Joy Oladokun

Joy Oladokun is at the core of her music. It may at first glance appear to be a painfully obvious statement, but as her sincere songwriting seeps into every corner of your soul, it is a notion that becomes undeniable. In her major label debut, in defense of my own happiness, Oladokun writes with an unabashed authenticity, never turning a blind eye to the world around her. These shared reflections and recollections of life are often heartbreaking and uplifting in the same breath, but in their candidness, we can begin to piece together what it means to be human, imperfections and all.  

Allison Ponthier

Allison Ponthier may only have a handful of singles to her name, but her unmatched potential is clear as day. Raised in the outskirts of Dallas, Texas, Ponthier’s moving songwriting and emphatic vocal prowess speak to her country roots. Pair that country sensibility with some of the most pristine pop songwriting we have heard in quite some time, and you begin to understand just how exciting Ponthier is as a rising artist. With only two singles to date, there’s not much else we can say beyond do yourself a favor and play “Cowboy” on repeat.

Rina Sawayama

It feels like no hyperbole to call Rina Sawayama an inevitable pop icon. First garnering critical acclaim with singles like “Cherry” and her 2017 debut EP RINA, the Japanese-British singer-songwriter staked her name on her immaculate ability to capture all the glamour and larger-than-life appeal of early ‘00s pop. Building on what was a nostalgic yet forward-thinking vision, Sawayama returned with her 2020 eponymous full-length debut. From nu-metal, club beats, to veritable pop anthems, SAWAYAMA emerged as a genre-defying showcase of an avant-garde pop star.

Arlo Parks

Listening to Arlo Parks’ music is akin to sipping on a hot cup of chamomile tea as you watch the world slowly pass by your living room window. It is a testament to the British poet and singer-songwriter’s subtle yet beautiful way with words, the way in which each lyric serves as a glance into a tightly-held memory or passing observation. These poetic musings come to life in her debut album, Collapsed In Sunbeams, which layers lyrical revelations over some of the most tender R&B of recent memory. Parks’ is more than a must-listen; she feels like the birth of a new wave.

Claud

Claud has spent the past few years making a name for themselves in the indie pop world, and the culmination of it all arrives in their debut album, Super Monster. The acclaimed album sees Claud reckoning with coming-of-age and love with an irresistible charm. Pair that with a penchant for grounded, affective songwriting and infectious, dreamlike melodies and you have one of the best debuts of recent memory. In case you somehow need any further convincing that Claud is one to watch, Super Monster marks the debut release from Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records.

UMI

Equally as inspired by R&B and neo-soul as she is by her generation’s penchant for blurring genre lines, UMI and her music exist as a form of spiritual healing. Half-Black and half-Japanese, her work explores everything from identity to self-introspection, such as on the aptly-titled Introspection. It is a fondness for self-exploration that UMI delves headfirst into on her 2019 EP Love Language, a sublime blend of identity struggles, love, and anime that tackles the issue of always feeling like an other, never Black or Japanese enough.

Joesef

Sad boy summer. It’s the simplest way to being explaining Joesef’s serene albeit somber sound. Emerging out of Glasgow, the quickly rising star often wears his still bleeding heart on his sleeve, even when the underlying sonics seem to be moving onto greener pastures. It is an exquisite balancing act that comes to life on his 2020 EP, Does It Make You Feel Good?. Blending elements of soft-spoken R&B, jazz, and ethereal pop, Joesef sets himself apart as an artist whose influences and appeal know no bounds.

Serena Isioma

At the top of the year, we named Serena Isioma one of our top artists to watch in the year to come, and for good reason. The self-proclaimed “nonbinary rock star” experienced a breakout moment with “Sensitive,” a track that is difficult to perfectly encapsulate but think along the lines of fusing modern-day R&B and woozy indie-pop with reckless abandon, and you’ll be about halfway there. It was an impressive standout track that was only buoyed by a pair of EPs, Sensitive and The Leo Sun Sets, in 2020, officially cementing Isioma as an artist like no other.

Khai Dreams

Khai Dreams’ music is effortlessly easygoing. With its straightforward guitar lines and understated production, every track from the Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter flows out as naturally as breathing. Maybe it’s that laid-back approach that begins to explains Khai Dreams’ universal appeal and millions of monthly listeners, despite releasing most of his music independently. A hallmark of the DIY generation and its massive homebrewed potential, it would be a crying shame if you didn’t let Khai Dream’s serene meditations transport you somewhere far from here.

Frances Forever

Like much of their Gen Z cohorts, Frances Forever’s exponential rise was not the result of a well-executed marketing plan but by the pure chance of a single song finding a home online. The song in question, “Space Girl,” was originally part of NPR’s Tiny Desk Content before soon blowing up on TikTok, and it’s not hard to see why. Short, sweet, and to the point, “Space Girl” is a saccharine love letter to that bubbly feeling of floating on cloud nine. Now signed to Mom+Pop and with their debut EP, Paranoia Party, due out later this year, this is the perfect time to get familiar with Frances Forever.

Dorian Electra

Unapologetically playing with gender norms and stereotypes while seeing just how far they can push the limits of pop, Dorian Electra has long maintained a cult following in the world of experimental, highly addictive hyperpop. And it’s not hard to see why. Having collaborated with the likes of Charli XCX, 100 gecs, Village People, Pussy Riot, Rebecca Black, and more, Electra’s music ranges from off-the-rails hyperpop to introspective pop slow burns. All of this and more reaches a fever pitch in their 2020 album My Agenda, a devious showcasing of one of pop’s most explosive figures.

MAY-A

Maya Cumming, professionally known as MAY-A, is no stranger to the hustle it takes to make it in the music industry. The Australian artist got her start entering numerous singing competitions in her hometown of Byron Bay and started busking on the streets at the tender age of 11. Now, she has a breakout single under her belt in the form of “Apricots,” an anthemic indie-pop ode to queer love. And since that breakout moment, MAY-A has continued to release impressive single after single—the latest being the collaborative “American Dream.”

I love you

This is part of my lil challenge, where I am challenging myself to write for seven days straight. Pray for me.

Prompt: We’re roommates and you make me so mad! But I love you.

Words: 2,089 (honestly didn’t feel like that)

Pairing: Ben Hardy x Fem!Reader, Roommates!AU, Musicians!AU

A/N: Inspired heavily by Burlesque, or well more importantly the friends-to-lovers, roommates with angst but ultimately fluff trope! That was long to write lol. Also, I know I said the second one-shot was coming out later today, but that was before the idea struck me and it kinda feels good to be caught up since technically I was already behind on my challenge. Hope this makes up for it and hope you ENJOY!

It was late at night when Ben awoke to the sound of the flat’s door being opened and gently shut. He had fallen asleep on the couch waiting for you but would never admit that.

Around mid-day, Ben is sitting at the island laptop opened and writing some lyrics. He looks up and smiles at you as you walk through after unlocking the door. “You got home pretty late. Quite unusual.” He says taking his bottom lip between his fingers guarding his face.

You glance at him, your body heating up in embarrassment. Your heart beating rapidly as suddenly the feelings you’ve been having for Ben begin to surface. “Oh yeah, sorry, I-I well I sort of met up with that one guy... Landon. The one who's been coming into the club lately.”

“Landon that prick?”

You watched Ben fight to look at you longer than necessary. You looked at your feet in light sadness. However, your eyes were ready to bug out of their sockets when you remembered the flashy shoes Landon had left you at rehearsal.

When you looked up, Ben was typing at the computer, trying to put you at the back of his mind. You squared your shoulders suddenly angry at his comment and dropped your keys onto the key foyer and practically stomp to your bedroom.

“New shoes?” Ben asks just as your about to shut your door. You look back at him. His eyes are still trained on screen and his fingers are still moving. But you hear the word he mutters. “Classy...”

At that, you feel your blood boil, and your chest is rising and now your body is filled with anger. You huff and slam the door hard enough to resonate against the wall it was on but, not hard to cause a disturbance.

A few days later, you’ve still been ignoring Ben. It’s been four days of silence from your end that Ben is angry at you being angry at him.

“You know ‘s only one reason why reason a bloke buys women shoes ya?”

You glare at him as you shut your bedroom door. You walk out in a small number you only bring out to really make some people mad. The v-line plunged down to highlight the valley of your chest, your skin was practically glowing in the faint light of the flat’s terrible lighting. The dress was tight-fitting and stopped a little higher on the thigh. The silk material was silver and the flashy shoes you were given tied together beautifully.

“So what if I’m getting a little male attention?”

“It’s a bit more than a little ya?”

“Not from anyone that matters.” You mutter not looking back to gauge his reaction. You’ve said what you’ve said, there was no taking it back or fixing it.

For Ben, it was a blatant jab at him. At his feelings. They had both been playing a game of cat and mouse. Not knowing they spent too much time switching between the two to realize neither were getting any catching done.

The two of you spent more days ignoring each other. Staying in your room or Ben staying in his. Avoiding each other around the rest of the flat. You decided to start spending your days with Landon, getting to know him, doing things like going out to eat, watching movies. You liked going out, but you couldn’t help but feel hollow inside your chest because at every moment you could, you spent it picturing Ben. Doing these things with you and not Landon.

The next night you get home late, all the lights except the kitchen one are off. You furrow your brows and walk inside. You see no faint glow of light under Ben’s bedroom door and sigh, biting your lip you go to your room, you undress and get ready for bed.

A few hours later you woke up to noises that sounded blurred with the door shut, but you knew better. Ben was doing it on purpose, pressing the highest setting of the blender. You groan and rise out of your warm bed, feeding exactly into what he wanted, to rile you up. 

“Ben... Ben... Ben... Jones!” You say over the noise of the blender. Ben is making what appears to be one of his many shakes. He stops only when you call him Jones because He can’t help but love that you’re one of few who actually still call him by his last name, his real one.

“Goodmorning love, sleep well? Shake?”

“No... a little peace and quiet would be lovely.”

Ben presses the blender, giving an unspoken reply. You squint your eyes at him.

“Really now?” You go to ask but Ben again presses the button on the blender the noise returning. You purse your lips and turn around ready to go back to ignoring him, you’ve taken three steps but face him once more “Christ Ben! What is your problem? You’re acting like a fucking prick!”

“It’s not just me ya? You know at the club, we’re like a family, we look out for each other.”

“Right, like Lucy and Rami, Joe.”

“Ya? What about Landon eh? He looks out for you? y/n? He can make things happen for you.”

“He’s a good man, a smart one at that. He goes for what he wants.”

“In the end, it’s about the choices you make love,” Ben says as he stands in front of you, shake long forgotten. He stares you down for a moment before walking off towards his bedroom.

“Oh that’s genius, you’re a bartender/ drummer who writes songs that are never ready.” You say without really wanting to but angry at him for coming at you the way he has. 

Ben slowly stops and turns to you, “Alright, I see then.” He shuts the door behind him and you exhale deeply, shutting your eyes.

Ben and you ignore each other. It doesn’t last long, a day and a half. But it was enough to get your skin to crawl, what you had to say constantly eating at you.  Naisa, a girl from the club where Ben and you worked was getting married and you both had been invited, Ben wasn’t wrong, at the club you all were like family.

You wore a simple red dress, it was long sleeve but was off the shoulder. It stopped right above the knee and you paired it with your tan heels. The makeup was simple, you never truly cared to get doll up yourself, but heavy makeup came with the job. You wore a similar shade of red on your lips.

You arrived later than Ben, he was home for the first part of you getting ready but when you walked out completely finished he was gone, had he been for long? You didn’t know.

At the reception for the wedding you tried to look for the blond but to no prevail. You had caught him briefly at the ceremony. He sat a few rows in front of you. You about given up trying to find him when you reached the bar. 

“A shot of tequila please.”

“Two please.”

You glanced at your side and saw Ben, who was clearly already feeling a little bit drunk.

“Looking lonely there Ben.” You say

“Liberated, questionable. Libated, definitely. Lonely? No, not lonely. Never lonely. Cheers” Ben says smoothly.

Your chest pings at that, was that supposed to hurt as much as it did? Was that meant for you? You scoff and faced away from him.

“Clink!” Ben says and downs the shot. You fight the giggle that makes its way out, downing your own shot.

Ben nudges you and is suddenly in your space. “Love are you still mad at me? Cus..” He slurs just a bit before picking himself back up. Completely in your face now, which you're sure is red from how hot it feels. “Cus if you are... bring it on baby.”

“Are you drunk?” You ask even though you know the answer. You want him to realize how drunk he is acting.

Just as you ask the DJ plays Bruno Mars’ Calling All My Lovelies. “I love this song!” Ben shouts standing and giving the DJ and look.  You walk away since he is not paying attention to you anymore.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Ben says as he grips your arm pulling your body back into his. To stop yourself from hitting him too hard you put your hand to his chest as you’re pulled back into him. You can feel his body warmth and remove your hand.

He has his arm under yours and his free hand grabs the one you’ve lowered. “I need to apologize to you.”

“What for.”

He gives you a look, and even now it still takes your breath away, how he can simply look that good? How can he make your blood boil, but get you weak in the knees?

“For being a prick.”

“You were.”

“I was.”

“Mm-hm.”

He smiles at you but it falters just slightly before he asks “Why are you here alone?”

You look up at him, his eyes the brightest green you’ve ever seen. You step just a little closer to him. “Do I look alone to you?”

His smile slowly makes its back to his features before he dips you, changing the mood drastically. Later that night you two are stumbling through your flat. The reception and day over with. You fall onto the couch and kick your feet up.

“My feet are killing me! Please take off these shoes Ben.”

He follows you to the couch and yanks at the heel. You laugh as he fumbles with one. “I got it, oh whoa, whoa, aha!” He says once they’re both off.

Your laughter dies down after the good show you received. You look up at him, you hope your eyes are saying everything you can’t bring yourself to say. Ben too, watches you, he’s standing over you and from this angle he can’t stop picturing you underneath.

“Good night.”

“Night.”

Ben walks to his bedroom, shutting the door. You sigh and sit on the couch for a bit. You rub your neck as you try to stop your thought from going back to Ben. However, your thoughts are cut short when Ben’s door opens and he stands there in a blue sheep pajama set. You laugh at it.

“Cute.”

“Mum got em, thank you.” He walks out to the front door. Locking it. He turns to you “Forgot to lock the door.”

You nod. “Got it?”

The lock makes a noise as he twists it once again, Ben’s green eyes find yours and you want to do nothing more but dive into them. “Good,” he says. He walks to his bedroom, pauses and looks at you, “Good night.”

“Good night.”

Ben shuts his door and you barely had time to blink before it is ripped open with his shirt gone. “Back again?” You ask with a smile.

“Water... don’t need a nasty hangover in the morning.”

“Right.”

Ben walks to his room once more, he stands in the doorway looking at you. “Good night, again.” He smiles, shutting his door.

“Night... again,” you say to yourself and begin taking your jewelry off. You've turned away from Ben’s door, not being able to see.

It’s opened once more and you laugh quietly to yourself not bothering to look at him, continuing with tugging the jewelry off.

“I think I’m hungry. Yeah... I’m a bit famished.” He walks past the couch to the kitchen and you have to look twice to make sure you saw what you did. His bare ass. You cover your face as laughter rakes through your body.

“Jones!” you peek through your fingers, “Your! It’s...”

He holds out a box of cookies, “What is so funny?” He moves away from the island looking down and using the box to cover his manhood. “Oh, well, I never.” He says in his best southern American accent. 

You continue to laugh, shielding your eyes but also giving in and opening your eyes a few times. He walks over to the couch. He stands over you for a moment. “Want a cookie?” He says normally as he shakes the box, his body is red which tells you he is nervous. You bite your lip, almost taking the bait. He shrugs and walks off. 

“No? Well if you change your mind... you know where they are.” He sends you a wink before shutting the door with his leg and one hand.

You watch and watch. The door remaining shut longer than you hoped. His light also turns off. The smile leaves your face and you begin to grab your things, ready to head to your bedroom. The door to Ben’s door opens slower this time and you look up, not shielding your eyes because let's face it, you knew him too well.

He walks out of his bedroom and he’s dressed in his usual sleep attire. Sweats and no shirt. You chew your bottom lip and you open your mouth to say something but he stops you with his lips. The kiss feels like it was always meant to. A secret told... a promise kept. It was slow, everything felt like it went slowly when the skin of his lips melded against yours.

Ben pulls away and you’re both silent, breathing, tired of waiting. The kiss ignites something in the two of you.

“I love you.” You say and although Ben curses himself for not saying it first, he doesn’t stop himself from saying it back.

“I love you too.”

Last Christmas

Ricardo finished his bottle of lager and looked around the room. His colleagues were dancing with one another, some with ties around their necks, others with the paper crowns from their crackers on their heads. He saw his deskmate Bill swaying to the music from the DJ and waved at him. Bill waved back, then returned to swaying to 'Step into Christmas' by Elton John. Ricardo felt woozy. There had been a lot of alcohol consumed over the turkey dinner his office had shared at a club in London, and he and the other traders at the bank were in a rather merry mood at the party.

His phone vibrated and he pulled it out. He saw it was his wife's number and declined the call. He was not in the mood to talk to her. She would be complaining that he was out late and drunk again and he didn't want the argument. Tonight was his Christmas party and he was celebrating the close of a particularly large deal that was going to net him a handsome paycheck.

"Excuse me, Ricardo" a woman's voice said, and he turned to see an attractive blonde woman by his side. She had deep red lipstick and was wearing a short black cocktail dress with a plunging neckline he struggled not to stare at.

"Yes?" he said, almost blinded by the woman's beauty.

"Do you remember me? I'm Lauren, from the Chicago office".

Ricardo thought for a moment. He had been in Chicago with the bank for the Christmas party the previous year but he had only vague memories of the event. Another trader had procured some pills and when they were mixed copious amounts of alcohol it had resulted in a near-blackout of the event. He could not remember the woman, but surmised he must have met her before.

"Ah yes!" he said, feigning confidence that years of being a trader had taught him to do, "Lauren of course, how are you?"

"Well I'm very sad Ricardo" she said, "I had hoped you might call me over the past year".

That was another headscratcher for Ricardo. Why would he have needed to call her? "Well", he said, stumbling slightly, "I'm not sure I took your number, else I'm sure I would have".

"And we shared such a lovely time" she said, smiling at him and putting her hand on his arm.

"Of course we did!" said Ricardo, "really, Lauren, it's just I'm surprised to see you here". Had he slept with this woman? He thought he would kick himself if he didn't remember doing that. He glanced down at the woman's breasts that bulged against her cocktail dress.

"It's quite alright" she said, "I know how busy you can get but it was a magical time".

"Blasted memory" Ricardo said, touching his head, "it's been a long year".

"I know, congratulations!" she said, "but I guess I must be like the protagonist in the song from Wham".

"Which song?" he enquired, not quite following her meaning.

"Last Christmas I gave you my heart" she sang softly to him, "but the very next day, you gave it away".

"No!" he protested, "No Lauren, I couldn't do that"

She smiled at him "So this year, to save me from tears, I guess I'll give it to someone special" She chuckled and he did too.

"Very good" he said, complimenting her wordplay and starting to feel more confident again, "but won't that leave me lonely this Christmas?"

"That's a very good point" she said, nodding. Ricardo suddenly became aware of the room full of crowded people.

"Perhaps we can re-acquaint ourselves somewhere a little more private?" he offered.

"Lead on" she purred back. Ricardo felt excited. He may not have remembered the previous year but there was no way he would let himself forget this. He led Lauren away from the bar area and towards some stairs that led underneath the club. He was friends with the owner and had used them on several occasions for romantic liaisons. He tried to act calm but inside was excited. His heart raced as he took Lauren's hands and helped her down the stairs to the room by the cellar. The dull thud of the party music was still playing above them but they found a quiet area with a sofa.

"Please" he said, offering it to her.

"Oh no" she said, "why don't you sit and I'll unwrap your present". She ran her hand over his crotch and he felt himself grow and begin to bulge. Her touch was so erotic. He sat down on the sofa and she stood over him, placing her bag by her side. "Have you been a good boy?" she asked him.

He nodded profusely. "Yes!" he cried.

"Well then Santa has a present for you" she said softly and her hands went behind her back. He heard her unzip her dress and then her hands returned to her front to slowly slide the thick black straps from her shoulder. She eased the dress over her breasts to reveal a lacy red bra and Ricardo felt like he might explode. Lauren continued easing the dress down and over her hips. There was more red lace - she was wearing suspenders and matching knickers! The dress fell to the floor and he was wide-eyed staring at her brown stockinged legs.

"Oh my god!" he exclaimed, and he tried to stand but Lauren pushed him back on to the sofa.

"Ah no" she said, "that's your present, now it's time for mine". He looked confused but saw her hands go round her back to her suspenders. They returned to the front with a pair of handcuffs. "Put your hands up" she told him.

Ricardo did as commanded and Lauren threaded the handcuffs through a pipe by the sofa, securing his hands. It felt incredibly erotic for Ricardo and he allowed himself to feel pleasure as Lauren unbuttoned his shirt and then undid the zip on his trousers. Upstairs, the DJ finished the track and he heard the opening few bars of 'Last Christmas'. "Hey, it's our song!" he joked.

Lauren stood and went to his bag. "Yes it is Ricardo, but I'm afraid I still need to give my love to something else this Christmas"

"No Lauren, please give it to me. Please" he pleaded and smiled "I promise I'll be better this year. I'll call you every day!"

"A tempting offer" she said softly, but one I'll have to decline. You see this year, I'm giving my love to my trusty Taurus PT911 and it's suppressor". Her hands came out of her bag holding a stainless steel gun, a matching thick suppressor and a magazine of ammunition. She tucked the magazine into the top of her stockings.

"Wait, what?" he said, his thoughts turning to confusion. Was this a fantasy of hers? Some kind of role play?

"It's OK, just enjoy the view" she told him, and she hummed softly to the tune from above whilst she threaded the suppressor on to the gun. Ricardo did not know where to look - he was transfixed by the lingerie-clad beauty in front of him. It took Lauren a few seconds to finish the threading and then she moaned softly, running her hand back and forth over the long suppressor that now adorned the gun, the stainless steel glinting off the cellar lights.

"Lauren, what, what's going on?" Ricardo asked, still feeling aroused but now also more cautious.

"Your bonus was well-timed this year" she told him, "just in time for your wife to collect the insurance money". She watched as his face turned to horror. "Don't worry," she told him, "we never did actually meet last year". She levelled the gun at him, supporting it in both hands. "Merry Christmas!" she said, smiling.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. Lauren grouped her shots on Ricardo's chest and then moaned to herself. Her nipples hardened against the lace of her bra and she lowered her gun slightly towards his crotch. Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. She fired the final four rounds of the magazine into him. She moaned again a little louder and let her hand massage her breast. She was being paid extra for this job and knew her client expected some more details. She ejected the clip and reloaded the gun, hearing the chambering of the round echo around the room. Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. She placed four more bullets into Ricardo's chest before allowing herself to drop a hand to her sex and massage it whilst she pumped the remainder into him one-handed pfft-pfft-pfft-pfft-pfft-pfft and her lace knickers moistened. "Oh fuck" she whispered softly as she brought her heavy breathing back under control and she took a few seconds to regain her composure.

George Michael's singing was continuing upstairs as she disassembled her gun and suppressor and zipped up her cocktail dress again. "This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special" the song continued. She took a glance at the bloodied body of Ricardo and blew him a kiss. She would be spending Christmas a lot richer and on the warm beaches of Australia with a first class plane ticket. She hummed as she exited the club - it had truly been a magical Christmas for her!

[fiiore-blogs]

( lorenzo zurzolo , 20 , cismale ) i  just  bumped  into  fiore  gattuso  the  other  day  while  walking  down  north  kingsboro , where  he  lives . i  hear  they  can  be  charming  and  narcissistic , but  when  i  think  of  them  i  immediately  think  of  bloodshot  baby  blue  eyes , luxury  brands , an  enchanting  smile ( ari , 21 , she / her , est ) 

tw : homophobia , abuse

full  name : fiore emiliano luca gattuso ( first name pronounced fee-oh-reh, also see here! )

nicknames : fifi, emmy ( by people who know his middle name ), some people might say… flower boy ( fiore literally means flower in italian ) 😳

gender : cismale

height :  5 ′ 8

age : 20

birthday : may 30 , 2000

zodiac : gemini ( aries moon, libra ascendant )

right  handed  or  left  handed : left  handed

eye  color : baby blue

hair  color : basically dark blonde / light brown

piercing  &  tattoos : the gemini symbol on his left wrist, a cartilage piercing on his right ear

languages  spoken : italian  ( native  tongue ), english, spanish, pretty decent sicilian

sexuality : bisexual / biromantic

place  of  birth : livorno , tuscany , italy

last  3  songs  listened  to : dimmi che mi ami by dj matrix, almeno stavolta by nek, west coast by lana del rey

character  inspo : kat hernandez from euphoria ( huge muse ! ), adam groff from sex education ( think season 2 adam ), alyssa foley from the end of the fucking world, maeby funke from arrested development, lucrecia montesinos from elite

♡ so fiore was born to a spanish mother named martina & a fully italian father named gian gattuso in tuscany, but they later moved to rome when he was around four years old. his mother is a very well known politician & his father is a billionaire, heir of several gas, water & electric companies all over europe. besides that, he is also a preacher and very involved in church. both his parents are very well off financially

♡ fiore grew up with anything he’s ever wanted ( materialistically, of course ). besides that, his parents genuinely weren’t the best of people. his mother stole millions from the so called campaigns she ran & was a very corrupt politician, his father treated his employees like shit & was a pretty hateful person altogether

♡ they were people who expected a lot out of their only son, which made fiore feel an insane amount of pressure from the very start. at a very young age, he showed characteristics lots of boys his age didn’t show. he did things like peeing while sitting down instead of standing up, preferred to play with dolls instead of ‘boy toys’, favored the color pink, got along better with girls, preferred to watch shows that were considered ‘girly’, etc etc.

♡ they were very harmless things honestly, things that most parents would laugh about & turn a blind eye. however, fiore really wasn’t that lucky when it came to them any time he would do anything they claimed a ‘normal boy wouldn’t do’, he would get a huge lecture & a beating to go with it. needless to say, he learned to hide a lot of who he really was from a very young age

♡ he did a lot of things to seek the approval of his parents. he wasn’t smart academically ( dumb boi 101 tbh ), but he tried to make them happy in other ways. fiore was never fond of sports at all, but he started playing tennis when he was five, because it made his parents happy. truth be told, he hated tennis with every fiber of his being, but again, he did this, simply because it satisfied his parents

♡ he grew up trying to be the perfect son, often times putting himself in situations he didn’t want to be in or felt uncomfortable doing because he wanted them to be proud, but honestly? it was like? never enough. it was all smiles for the pictures, but behind closed doors, he really was pretty damn miserable

♡ simply put, he has always known that he likes boys. he likes girls too, don’t get him wrong, but he knew, literally since he could remember, that he also had a thing for guys too. of course, he was aware that this wouldn’t settle well at all with his extremely strict & unfortunately, very close minded parents, so he buried his feelings incredibly deep

♡ he has a lot of charm & wit & found himself getting into relationships quicker than most of his friends. he briefly dated a girl when he was fourteen, but it was when he was sixteen that things really began getting pretty #spicy

♡ there was a romanian boy new to his very #elite school & if you guessed it, they began to date! his first boyfriend at sixteen years old. fiore was basically living two lives at this point, sneaking around with a guy behind his parents’ back, but when he got home, the facade began. the way he would switch up as soon as he entered the front door to his house was honestly shockingly scary

♡ he really felt himself falling in love with this boy even though they were both fairly young. they snuck around forever. when no one was home, he would sneak him into his room to have sex, sneak out of his house when his parents were asleep, all that fun stuff. their relationship was forbidden ( at least to fiore’s parents ), but things go downhill pretty fast

♡ so one day, fiore & him get really really drunk & honestly? video record themselves having sex fjkgnfv they didn’t do this to post it anywhere or show anyone or anything, they really just did it for themselves. they made a few copies ( stupid boys, i know rip ), but they really felt like they would get married & all that gooey lovey dovey shit so they did it because yolo i guess? this was a pretty big mistake though

♡ one day fiore & him are walking back from his tennis practice. this is a time where fiore knows no one is home & no one is coming home for a while, so when they get to his house & see his father’s car parked outside, he lowkey panics a little. of course he makes the guy leave & goes inside to see what’s going on

♡ his father asks him to come upstairs & surprisingly, leads him into his room. this is when fiore’s entire life practically changes forever. his father turns on his tv & legit starts playing his sex tape with his boyfriend. just picture this though; your extremely homophobic, close minded & hateful father & you sitting on your bed, watching your gay sex tape with your boyfriend

♡ obviously, this news isn’t well taken by his father. to make a long story short, he gets his ass beat. like, literally almost dies type shit. when this happened, he was eighteen and had just recently graduated school, with plans to travel. he knew if his relationship was ever discovered by his parents, it wouldn’t go well, but he really didn’t think them discovering his sexuality would be that brutal

♡ his parents basically disown him at that moment. they bought him a ticket to new york & told him they never wanna see him again. it’s sad, but he packed his things & left in two days to go live with his cousin 

♡ it doesn’t really take an expert to figure out that fiore did not take this move well at all. for months, he was really depressed. he wouldn’t go out & would just lay in bed for the longest time. he was really hurt by everything that happened & it took him a while to recover. he has also lived in italy his whole life & wasn’t really used to life in america at all, but after like the fourth month of just feeling sorry for himself, it was his cousin who snapped him back to reality

♡ he began putting himself out there. at first, he began working at a pizza place, but fiore slowly began to realize how much he despised working. his entire life, he received everything on a golden plater with pure solid gold spoons, he’s always had everything he’s ever wanted without working for it, so this? he was for sure not used to it at all. again, his life completely changed. he went from living in a three story mansion in the most prestigious part of rome to living in a very shitty part of new york, broke almost always, & working a job he hated with everything he had, splitting rent with his cousin

♡ fiore did not want this at all for himself. it wasn’t until he went out clubbing ( fake id & all ), that one his friends showed him the wonders of conning people. they walked into the bar with twenty bucks and left with four thousand dollars

♡ quickly, fiore began to learn his friends’ ways. his looks, personality & his thick italian accent helped him tremendously; it was like people literally couldn’t get enough of him. soon enough, he was conning & finessing the fuck out of older men & women for their money. he once walked into a casino with five dollars and walked out with over 12k

♡ finessing people became a huge hobby of his. he’s also very very lowkey done some camboy stuff, but with a mask on because he’s sneaky af ( legit think kat from euphoria ) like, these super lonely old men or even women are just sending him money for being hot? amazing! it was with all this money that he bought himself a luxury car & jump started his model & influencer career. it was also with this money that him & his cousin ditched the crap show that is south kingsboro & moved into a much better apartment up north. with his looks & persona, he gained followers like crazy & posted videos on youtube as well, getting sponsorships & recognition easier than he expected. he honestly makes a shit ton of money off social media & modeling, like, he’s basically living off his looks, personality & the content he post? we love to see it

♡ there is still a part of fiore that has a lot of issues & trauma. honestly mommy & daddy issues af, but he doesn’t talk about this at all. he literally refuses to talk about anything that happened to him before he was eighteen. no one really knows how he came up or where his family is & he keeps it this way, dodging questions about his personal life as much as he can

♡ in a way, he is kind of relieved with everything that happened with his parents because now, he’s completely free to be himself & do whatever the fuck he wants, knowing very well they can’t really touch him anymore. of course, it still left a mark that he’s never going to be able to erase or forget ( both in his heart & on his body too ), but he feels free for once in his life & he’s honestly kind of happier now, but also, low key needs therapy tbh 🥴

♡ relationship wise, he really doesn’t commit to anyone. after practically being forced to leave his now ex boyfriend, he kind of feels like he doesn’t deserve love? it’s really fucked up but he’s genuinely convinced that no one is ever going to really love him or want to be with him so he just avoids any romantic relationship of any kind, usually just hooking up with people & then leaving as soon as it’s over, or just stealing money from them and ghosting. the truth is that he really does want to be loved, accepted & cared for by someone he loves, accepts & cares for as well, but will it ever happen if he continues pushing people away? probably not tbh

♡ he is a fucking drinker & hella pot smoker!! legit give him some alcohol & weed he’s happy. he always has either one on him, or both tbh. he’s secretly a hella good cook too but this is something almost nobody knows really. he can make food or desserts, and he’s also taught himself to make weed edibles which is honestly iconic kvnfjvc even though he keeps this part of himself hidden

♡ he can be really sneaky & deceiving when he has to be, like, he’ll legit have 0 reason to lie but he’ll lie anyways? it’s like a defense mechanism lmfao

♡ very much conceited boy, honestly in love with his looks but it goes deeper than that. he feels like he has nothing to offer besides being hot so he dwells on looking good always, pretty sure he would rather die than wear sweatpants like vjkdfsvnfs literally always looks a1

♡ is actually? secretly blind af ndjvdfnv one of his many secrets tbh. has a vision of 20/50, nearly 20/60, but hasn’t worn glasses since he was seven, pretty much doing everything with contacts. he just thinks glasses look unattractive on him & honestly refuses to let anyone see him with them on. the only person who even knows he has vision as bad as he does is his cousin who is a npc sooo 🤡

♡ this is all that’s coming to mind rn but hmu for plots pretty pls jkfnvjnfv, this is his birthchart for some extra #tea

#kingsboro.intro #im so tired but this had to b posted #his tag drop will come tomorrow kvjnfsjvn #i've added some tings to this vkjfsnvfv

[histrionic-dragon]

fIC RECSSSSSS do you have any for the massive avengers family? or - uh, uh some fantastical alternate universe. More fluffy stuff than angst is what im feeling atm... thanks!!! (Also Happy Halloween!)

Hello, Very Patient Anon! Happy Halloween to you too, now that it’s nearly December.  I hope you see this.

I don’t read tons of AUs, so I’ve gone through my bookmarks looking for fluff and/or found family in the main Avengers canon. Because of the things I personally like, it skews a lot toward Steve- and/or Bucky-centric things. Some of these are total nonsense fluff, most are more serious feels-fluff, and some are bittersweet. I’ve put in a note about the ones that are sad. Usually the ones that are are the ones most about found family, because the Avengers bond over their shared traumatic experiences. :P

The First Rule of Book Club Is You Absolutely Talk About Book Club      by                    Deisderium  First in a series. A book club adopts Bucky. Post-Winter Soldier, told from the POV of the person most in charge of the book club. She’s a pretty delightful OC. Full series is great, but this stands on its own too.

     I'll build a house inside of you      by    magdaliny    It’s about the Winter Soldier and one particularly daring Black Widow-ling. AU--they leave the Red Room. VERY found family. Sad, because hello, Winter Soldier and child raised in the Red Room, but full of love and caring, and ends happily.

The Barnes and Rogers Family Photo(s)      by    cpt_winniethepooh     If you’re in the mood for some holiday fluff.

     Steve VS...      by      girlbookwrm    Ridiculous in the best way. Some of these had me actually laughing out loud.

Cassie Lang And The Adventures In Befriending Hundred Year Old Super Soldiers      by                    stevergrsno (noxlunate) Cassie makes friends with de-aged Steve and Bucky.

       Tony Stark Finds Himself a Family (That Doesn't Suck)      by             orbingarrow   In progress, and depending on which parts of various characters (especially Tony and Steve, although in Steve’s case it might be just because he doesn’t have much “screen time” and it’s mostly Peter’s POV when he is, IIRC) you are most attached to, the characterization might feel bumpy. It works for me, though, and the idea of Tony, Peter, and Harley making up a family unit is sweet, and has a high fluff quotient.

The Quickest Way to a Heart.      by     VictoryCandescence  I’m not sure I can make a happy-feels rec list that doesn’t have this on it. Post-Winter Soldier, Bucky cooks (mostly bakes) to help Steve remember. It is one of my very favorites. Slow burn Stucky, with most of the slow burn told via flashbacks to the first time Bucky--or sometimes someone else--made a given dish. Well-crafted; will make you hungry and give you warm happy feels.

tsesarevna      by        tremontaine   Background Natasha/Steve/Bucky. I say “background” because it’s from their daughter’s POV. Clever story, excellent way of communicating the background story from a kindergardener’s perspective, sweet. 

     lights will guide you home      by         crinklefries    So this one’s not happy all the way through. In fact, a lot of it is very sad, being set post-Snap/during the Blip. But it has fantastic, complex portrayals of family (Natasha and Steve’s relationship during those five years is central, but not all of it), and it ends with a strong sense of resolution. Definitely diverges from the ending of Endgame.

The Nothing in This World I Wouldn’t Do series https://archiveofourown.org/series/1359478 by defcontwo is similar but happier. You might want to read that instead.

Rescue Missions and Mistaken Identities      by           scifigrl47        If you don’t mind jumping into an established series. Basically all you need to know is that Dum-E (Tony’s bot) can turn into a human child, approx. 4-5 years old but it varies sometimes, at will. He looks like a young Tony in human form and goes by DJ. Features that kid and de-aged Phil Coulson. TONS of Avengers family feels. Background Steve/Tony.

     Flag On The Play      by   copperbadge      In which Steve is lonely and gets hugs from the rest of the Avengers. So--starts off with sad, angry, lonely Steve who doesn’t even really get why he feels awful, but then gets fluffy.

     the way a traveler knows a traveler      by    thedoubteriswise              Steve & Natasha friendship.

Hopefully that’ll do you for starters! Please do come back and ask for more if needed.  :)

Hurricane 01.

Words: 1900+

Warnings: None

A/N: hello all! I’m so excited to finally put this out there! Just a small preface before you start reading this is set in 2019 after their world tour. If you enjoy it, please give it a like and reblog if you want. 

.

Busting through the doors of the dressing room, I rushed to my vanity and threw my bag under it. I unzipped the garment bag that held my dress for the night and stripped down before sliding it on. Moving back to take a look in the mirror, I smoothed out the sleek, black, floor-length gown. The fabric clung to my body and the slit hit way to high on my hip for my liking.

“Formal night might be my most favorite after all,” Karina said in a sing-song voice, waltzing through the door of the dressing room. “Well, maybe if the boss wasn’t in a horrible mood.”

“Great, and I’m sure he’s even more pissed that I’m late,” I sighed, slipping on my heels and fastening the clasp around my ankle. “Alissa didn’t want me to leave. It was a battle to even get out the door.”

Karina walked over to her vanity next to mine and fluffed her hair. “Don’t sweat it. I covered for you. He’s too worried about the special guests that are coming tonight anyways.”

“Thank you. You’re the best,” I said, standing up to give her a quick hug.

“You know I got you,” she dismissed with a wave of her hand.

And she was right. The shady business that surrounded this place made it hard to know who was your friend and who wasn’t. Karina was really the only person I could trust that worked here.

Turning on her heels, Karina headed towards the door and flung it open. “Now hurry and finish. I’ll be waiting on the floor.”

I looked back to the mirror and sighed at my reflection. I didn’t want to walk around in dresses that were too tight or ridiculous outfits that might as well have been lingerie. This wasn’t life I wanted.

This wasn’t the life I wanted for Alissa.

But these are the cards I had been dealt and whether I liked it or not, I had to play my best game. And as much as I hated this job, it kept Alissa and I stable. It kept Alissa safe.

Slipping a pair of gold hoops in my ears, I took one last look in the mirror before standing. I pulled the handle to the dressing room door and took a deep breath.

This was going to be a long night.

-

It was May in Miami and club life was in full swing. By the time I made it to the floor, the club was already full. The bass pounded in my ears as I made my way over behind the bar. Spotting Karina, I walked to where she was mixing a drink at the bar.

“Boss wants you to greet Double X and the guests in the VIP section,” Karina yelled, pointing towards the VIP section near the DJ booth.

Xerxes Frechiani, known as Double X by his colleagues, was a marketer who visited the club often. He promoted anyone from artists to celebrities. He was a huge customer of ours who brought in a lot of business. Of course he didn’t know what went on behind the scenes. How could he? The club looked squeaky clean on the outside. If he knew the truth, it would ruin the partnership between him and the boss.

Making my way over to the VIP section, I put a hand on Xerxes’ shoulder. “I heard there was a party over here. I should have known who was causing all the raucous.”

Turning to see who came up behind him, Xerxes whipped around. “Cassia! Hello,” he greeted, giving me a polite kiss on the cheek. “Chicos, this is Cassia. Cassia this is Richard, Joel, Erick, Christopher, and Zabdiel,” he introduced, motioning to each of the boys. “They are part of the latin boy-band CNCO.”

“Of course! Xerxes has kept me updated with all your success. Congratulations on your tour,” I mused. Each of the boys greeted me with a handshake and a kiss on the cheek. When I got to Zabdiel, something about him made my stomach flip.

Reaching for my outstretched hand, Zabdiel took mine in his much larger one. I expected him to give it a firm shake like the rest of the boys but was taken by surprise when he brought it up to his lips. After placing a small kiss on the back of my hand, he pulled me towards him and placed another kiss on my cheek. “It’s nice to meet you,” he whispered in my ear before pulling away.

Giving his hand a soft squeeze, I excused myself from the group and headed back to the bar. I took a deep breath to regain my composure and tried not to think about the boy who had just taken my breath away.

-

After what seemed like forever, the night had finally wound down. I drug my tired body to the dressing room and kicked off my heels. Slipping out of my dress, I slid on a hoodie and a pair of running shorts.

I pushed open the back door of the club and headed toward the main street to catch a cab home.

“Cassia!” a voice shouted behind me.

Whipping my head around, I turned to find Zabdiel trotting towards me. I hadn’t realized how tall he was until I didn’t have my heels on anymore. “Zabdiel, what are you doing here?” I asked. It was already half past four in the morning.

Rubbing a hand over his spiky bleached hair, he paused before speaking. “I was hoping to catch you before you left,” he admitted.

“Oh really? And to what do I owe the pleasure?” I questioned curiously, crossing my arms over my chest.

“Let me take you out tomorrow,” he blurted.

His request had caught me off guard. We had only met tonight but I couldn’t deny the attraction I felt towards him. “Sure,” I replied with a smile.

My reply seemed to calm his obvious nerves as his face broke out into a smile. “Perfect. Do you need a ride home?” he asked.

“No it’s okay. I can just wait for a cab,” I shrugged.

“It’s late. Let me drive you home,” he insisted, motioning towards his car parked along the sidewalk.

It was late and I hadn’t seen any cabs pass by while we had stood there. I weighed my options of waiting for God knows how long or catching a ride with Zabdiel, choosing the latter. “Okay,” I sighed, giving in to his offer.

Grabbing my hand, Zabdiel led me over to the passenger side of a sleek, black Lexus LS, opening the door and letting me get in before getting in on the driver’s side. The car roared to life and we took off towards my apartment.

The ride was filled with small conversation, mostly with me asking questions about the places tour life had taken him. He mused about several countries including their trip to Japan last year. I listened intently, watching how his eyes came to life when talking about their fans.

Before I knew it we had pulled up to my apartment. Easing the car to a stop, Zabdiel put the car in park and turned to face me. Grabbing my phone out of my hands, he typed a few things and then handed it back to me. He leaned over the center console and placed a kiss on my cheek.

I pulled the passenger side handle and opened the door, stepping out on the sidewalk. “Thank you for the ride,” I said.

“Text me as soon as you get inside,” he replied.

Shutting his car door, I headed towards the door of my apartment complex. I turned and gave a quick wave before opening it and heading inside. Taking two steps at a time, I arrived at my door. I put my key in the lock and opened my apartment. As soon as I shut the door, I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my contacts. All the way at the bottom in the ‘Z’ section was a lone contact that read ‘Zabdiel’. I tapped on his name and opened a new message, shooting him a quick text to let him know I made it in. My phone buzzed back almost immediately with a new message. I opened it only to see a single heart emoji.

Dropping my bag on the ground, I flipped the light on. Heading towards the kitchen, I opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water out. Just as I was about to take a sip, a shrill scream stopped me.

“Mommy!” Alissa shrieked, running into the kitchen and wrapping her tiny arms around my legs.

“Ay dios mío. Qué estás haciendo, mi amor?” I questioned. Leaning down to pick her up, I set her on my hip. I brushed her crazy bed head out of from her face.

Out of the corner of my eye another movement startled me. “She’s been fighting sleep to wait for you,” my roommate, Maddi, yawned. Plopping herself down on the couch, she rubbed her eyes clear of sleep.

“I’m so sorry. Was she a handful?” I asked. Alissa was finally moving out of her terrible twos despite her third birthday this past February.

Maddi shook her head, standing to move into the kitchen next to us. “No. She was fine after you left,” she admitted, coming over to pat Alissa on the head. “We actually had a lot of fun.”

Setting Alissa on the ground, I handed her my phone and kissed her on the forehead. “Amor, go get in bed and turn on a movie. I’ll be there in a second.”

Alissa took off out of sight towards my bedroom. I turned towards Maddi, not being able to hide the smile that crossed my face.

“Okay you never come home from work this happy. What happened?” she asked skeptically.

The blush rose to my face before I could stop it, painting my cheeks a pink shade. “I might have met someone tonight.” I confessed. “He wants to take me out tomorrow.”

“Please tell me you said yes. Cass you haven’t been out since Alissa was born,” she said, giving me a sad smile. “I know you don’t want to let anyone in after-”

“Don’t talk about him.” I cut her off seriously.

Maddi put her hands up in surrender. “Look. All I’m saying is to give it a chance,” she pleaded. “I’ll even watch Alissa.”

It wasn’t that Alissa was a burden. She was the most important thing to me. But the second she came into this world I had someone besides myself to take care of. It had been me and Alissa since day one and letting someone else in was a scary thought.

I don’t even know why I had begun to psych myself out. He just wants to take me out. I may not ever see him again after tomorrow. Do it, my conscience pleaded.

“Okay. I’ll go,” I gave in.

Maddi let out an excited squeal, clapping her hands together. She wrapped me in a tight hug and gave me a squeeze. “Now go get some sleep. We’ll talk in the morning,” she said, making her way towards her room.

Walking into my room, I found Alissa starfished on the bed. Picking up my phone, I turned off the cartoon she had playing and plugged it in to charge. I slid under the covers careful not to shift her too much. The exhaustion of the night finally caught up to me as I let sleep take me over.

.

A/N: Sorry that there isn’t much of Zabdi in here. I had to give a preface to everything otherwise nothing would make sense later. Chapter 2 will be up soon.

Songbird Part 1 (Ashton Irwin)

pairing[s]:

1. Ashton Irwin x Ophelia

2. Luke Hemmings x Lennon

Warnings: sad Ashton??

Word Count: 1k+

Walking into the club was hard for Ophelia. She wasn’t sure she was ready to be there, but she promised Lennon that she would come. It was the first time since she and Ashton had split and no matter how much time had passed, it still hurt.

Lennon clung to her fiancé, Luke, swaying back and forth on the dance floor as they celebrated. Tonight was their engagement party. Held in the Riff, the party was an exclusive event, the best of the best of the music industry in attendance. Brendon Urie sat at the bar sharing a round of shots with Alex Gaskarth, Jack Barakat playing DJ up on the stage.

There was a lot about this night that Ophelia wished she could change- other than her decision to come. A year ago, she would have sworn that this party would have been for her instead. A year ago, her relationship was perfect. She and Ashton were so incredibly in love that everyone thought they were meant to be.

Of course, things were never actually meant to be in Ophelia’s life.

A few months back, close to 4 now, their relationship imploded. Their lives were pulling them apart, and one night and one fight destroyed it all. She couldn’t remember what the fight was about, the only thing she was sure about was that it was something meaningless. That night ended in slammed doors, tattered frames, and broken hearts.

Many of their memories were shared on the dance floor. They met in the middle, when he stepped in to help her out when she was being harassed by a drunk patron late one emo nite. He pretended to be her boyfriend, steering the other man away.

“Hey babe,” One of her friend’s band mates slid up to her, wrapping his arm around her waist, “everything okay here?” He locked eyes with her, sending a silent message of support to her before looking over at the drunken man who had been harassing her for the last ten minutes.

“Who’s this dumbass?” The drunken man slurred, turning to face her.

“This is,uh, my boyfriend-“ she cast a glance up to the band member, pleading for his help.

“Ashton. Her boyfriend of 2 years. And you are?”

“Just leaving-“ the man mumbled, stumbling back towards the bar, likely to get another drink.

“Thank you, Ashton.” Ophelia turned to the man, who cast her a crooked smile.

“No problem.”

She instinctively reached for the necklace around her neck, letting out a sigh when she remembered. Before he left on his first tour after they got together, he gave her a necklace. They had sat at a quiet booth in the back of the bar, spending their last night together. He had to leave early the next morning to head to his first show, and they wouldn’t see each other for a couple of months.

“Here.” Ashton slid a black velvet box across the booth to Ophelia, who was busy sipping away at her jack and coke.

“What’s this?” She asked as she set down her drink. She grabbed the box and opened it slowly, revealing an ornate silver necklace with a small heart pendant. “Ash-“

“I wanted to make sure you had something to hold onto when you’re feeling lonely or when your anxiety is acting up.” He watched as she pulled the necklace out, looking it over.

“It’s too much, Ashton. I can’t take this-“

“Yes you can, Fe.” He let out a short laugh, rolling his eyes.

She had worn the necklace daily for almost three years, finally deciding to take it off a month ago. She didn’t want to, but she knew that she couldn’t keep wearing something her ex had given her.

She watched her best friend laugh with her fiancé as he said something in her ear before deciding to get a drink. She’d need at least one to get through the rest of the night. She spun on her heel, getting ready to walk to the bar, but she didn’t even get a full step in before she knocked into someone.

“Oh, I’m so sorry-“ She apologized, looking up at the person, her heart stopping. “Ashton-“

“Hey, Fe.” He looked down on her, offering her a smile he only had for her.

Down on the dance floor, Lennon and Luke danced around, taking a break every now and then to talk to one of the many party guests. A loud Fall Out Boy song played through the sound system.

Lennon looked around her best friend, finding her standing in front of her ex. She nudged Luke, nodding her head towards the pair with a smile. “Look. They’re finally talking.”

“Finally!” Luke exclaimed, making his fiancé laugh. “Let’s hope they fix things. I’m really tired of his moping.”

“Tell me about it. Ophelia has barely talked since they split.” She rolled her eyes. As much as she loved her best friend, she hated how she had changed since the breakup. Lennon knew they didn’t mean what they said to each other during the fight, but she hadn’t been able to get them to talk.

Lennon loved her fiancé. They had been together for just over three years and fell hard for one another. Ashton and Ophelia introduced them, and after a drunken night of high jinx at the bar, they ended up together. Most couples have role models they look up to and admire, and to Lennon and Luke, that was their friends Ophelia and Ashton. They truly admired the love their friends shared and the way their relationship ran, so it was a surprise to everyone when it ended the way it did.

Luke knew the fight was about something stupid and he tried to convince Ashton to go back to her, but he never succeeded. Lennon tried the same and got the same result.

“Maybe they’ll finally get over themselves and get back together.” Lennon mumbled. The song changed, a slower song from her fiancé fading into the room. Luke pulled her into him, placing a long, soft kiss on her lips before beginning to sway.

“We can hope.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next day Derek and I had spent most of the day setting up the loft for the party, going to the store to buy the alcohol etcetera , while random people were coming in and out of the loft all day delivering things like the decorations, the black-light/UV lights, the UV reactive paint and glow sticks and also were helping to set everything up. All of the furniture had been cleared to create a large dance floor and there was now a pretty big stage set up in front of the windows ready for the backup band to setup. The DJ soon came and set up and we discussed a setlist of songs that we could do, quickly doing a sound test and practice run. Admittedly, we sounded damn good and was actually to my surprise, really looking forward to this.

It was getting close to the time so Derek took me back to the apartment to properly get ready. I quickly began to do my makeup and hair with my signature long flowing loose curls, black eyeliner and crimson red lipstick. I then put on the outfit that Derek had bought for me. I then painted on my UV paint in the purple colour to match my outfit, painting some claw marks across my chest and through one of my eyes. I then turned to look in the mirror and smiled, not being used to this overwhelming feeling of confidence that I was feeling. The heels definitely helped. Satisfied with how I looked, I walked into the living room where I was met by Derek waiting with his keys in hand. His eyes seemed to catch the claw marks in paint on my chest and through my eye and he let out a laugh. "Claw marks? Really Ri, could you be any more predictable? Miss 'I don't really want people knowing that I'm a werewolf'. " I laughed "just wait till you hear my opening song, I intend on fully embracing my true self". I say amused. "Oh god" he said laughing and shaking his head, moving to leave the apartment with me in tow.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When we finally got there the loft was already packed wall to wall with teenagers sporting glow in the dark outfits, glow sticks and were moving to the music, the atmosphere very close to the clubs I had been going to all summer. In a weird way it made me feel comfortable, the party girl inside of me begging to claw it's way out of me. I weaved my way through the crowds of sweaty, grinding teenagers and made my way to where the alcohol was, taking a couple shots of the cheap vodka for liquid courage and made my way to the side of the stage, preparing myself for my opening song.

The DJ waved and motioned me onto the stage as he slowly began to integrate our opening song with the one already playing. My heart pounded in my chest as I slowly made my way up the stairs and onto the stage, mostly everyone too busy dancing to notice me, which I was thankful for.

I moved toward the mic, gripping it in my hand and moved along to the beat as the song began to start, let all my nerves melt away, and began to sing.

We're better off as strangers

Believe me when I say

Loving me is loving danger

Your heart is bound to break

Everyone then turned to look at me as they realised that someone was actually singing and the room then erupted in whistles and cheers and everyone continued to dance along.

I walk alone in the night

'Neath the pale moon

Lovin's for the fools

Baby beware of my bite

I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm ... I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a ... I'm a ... I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a ... I'm a... I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a ... I'm a ... I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a... I'm a ...

The beat then dropped and the crowd came to life, thrashing around mindlessly, all facing toward me on the stage. I felt happiness well up in me as I let myself go, dancing along side the crowd. My eyes scanned the crowd and I saw that Scott was near the front of the crowd who then exchanged a look of shock with who I now saw to be Stiles who seemed to equally be in awe, staring at me. A massive smirk then made it's way to my lips and I pointed at the boys at the boys in the crowd shooting them a wink. This caused Stiles to lose it, putting his hands on Scott's shoulders and jumping up and down with a massive smile on his face. I smiled at the sight of the two best friends, as I swayed to the music. My eyes locked with Stiles's in the crowd as I began the next verse, a smirk on my face.

I'm creeping through the shadows

In the corners of your mind

I go where the wind blows

I run but I don't and hide

I hear the call of the wild

Whispering my name

Know I can't be tamed

My heart belongs to the night

I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm ... I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a ... I'm a ... I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a ... I'm a... I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a ... I'm a ... I'm a Lone Wolf

I'm a... I'm a ...

As the second beat dropped and the song was near to end, I turned around, lifting my arms out and fell back into the crowd, and to my relief the crowd caught me. I laughed in pure amazement as I felt the hundreds of hands catch me and carry me around. I was completely high from the atmosphere, never wanting this feeling to end, the vodka from earlier also helping lift my mood. I then felt a pair of hands grab my waist gently as I was slowly lifted down to safety. The crowd around me roaring to life once again as the next upbeat song began to play.

I spun around to see who had lifted me down, and there he was, looking at me with that adorable grin on his face. I moved close to him, putting my hand on his chest and leaned in close, moving my mouth close to his ear so he could hear me. "My saviour." I said loud enough for him to hear over the music, laced with amusement and pulled away looking up at him, his eyes wide. He then laughed. I could feel how fast his heart was pounding against my hand, I moved away and started dancing to the beat, grabbing his hands, prompting him to dance with me. At first he seemed shocked, then seemed to relax and began to dance with me a smile plastered on his face. I grinned, spinning myself around underneath his arm and began dancing with my back close to him, our bodies moving in unison with the beat, the vodka shots from earlier finding their way to my head. My heart was pounding just as hard as his was, and not just because we were dancing. Every time his skin even so much as grazed against mine, it felt as though it was on fire. I also became painfully aware of how good our bodies felt moving together, enjoying it a little too much.

I turned back around to face him, our bodies close and still moving perfectly in time with the beat. However Stiles's face had changed and was no longer sporting the usual dorky smile, but his eyes were dark and full of lust, his auburn orbs not leaving mine once. I don't know if it was the atmosphere or the vodka that made me act on the overwhelming want and craving I was feeling towards this boy, but I moved forward, resting my arms loosely around his neck, keeping my eyes on him as we moved, a smirk making my way to my face as he finally had seemed to have worked courage to place his hands on my hips. I watched closely as he then slowly moved his gaze down my body, making my whole body feel as though it was on fire, and looked back up into my eyes. I found my gaze moving to look at his wet pink lips and decided I had to move away now before I completely let my desire take over and I got too close. I flashed him a smile and leaned in close again, my lips grazing his ear accidentally, causing my heart to skip a beat and his grip on my hips to tighten slightly in surprise. "I'm going to go and get a drink" I said, slowly sliding my arms from his surprisingly well built shoulders and moved away, sending him one last wink, a sheepish grin plastered on his face. I then made my way through the crowd as fast as I could toward the drinks, picking up a vodka shot and shooting it, leaning my back against the wall as I tried to calm the feelings of pure desire and lust that had taken over my body. It was almost as if the animal instincts had taken over and I was running purely on my desire and instinct.

After drinking a little more, I got back on stage and sang a few more songs, not oblivious to the fact that Stiles hadn't taken his eyes off of me since we danced. My last song finished and I got off stage, grabbing a drink and again took to leaning my back against the wall, absentmindedly  looking around the room as I took a drink. My eyes then landed on a scene that caused my stomach to drop and heart to sink.

As much as I tried to convince myself that I didn't care, the sight of Stiles on those stairs, making out with the girl in the orange UV wig, her hand on his face, stirred up overwhelming feelings of jealousy and sadness that I didn't expect, my heart pounding against my chest. I averted my gaze to calm down but found my eyes drawn to him again. This time his eyes looked over to meet mine, a somewhat unreadable expression on his face. I pushed my feelings down and forced a smile onto my face, raising my party cup filled with vodka up towards him in acknowledgement then disappeared into a crowd of people, heading toward the door to the balcony, aching to clear my head, to get away from everything and just breathe.

bad day - Joji

This was for a request that I never got to finish. I’m sorry. I figured that I might as well post what I’ve written so far because I don’t think I have the heart to finish it. Like I’ve said, I don’t feel like writing for the CC so this might be my last fic. Dunno. Seriously considering the possibility of opening a blog for multiple fandoms tho. 

***

It started with “Bad day, huh?”

You turned to face whoever decided to hit on you while you were in the club, sitting at the bar and drinking to distract you from what was truly bothering you. You didn’t exactly wanted to be here, but your friends insisted you go out to ‘forget about him’. Yeah, that was not entirely working; you were still thinking about your ex, with whom you’ve broken up a few days ago. Well, he broke up with you, telling you that he needed some space to think about your relationship—and we all know that means it’s over. You knew he wouldn’t want you back, so you tried to resign yourself to the reality of the situation: that it wasn’t going to happen. Things won’t go back to the way they were. That was the truth. That didn’t mean you weren’t allowed to cry about it or feel the need to stay home, cooped up in your room, watching romantic movies and cursing their happiness. This thing worried your friends and they pulled you out of your cave, telling you that it wasn’t healthy, that you should fuck that guy and meet other people. You knew they only wanted the best for you and you didn’t want to worry them any further—so you accepted, although you didn’t feel like it. You didn’t dress excessively, didn’t put on any make-up and basically, you felt like shit. You just wanted to drink and forget about it all. No one is ever going to flirt with you (and somehow, your attitude made sure potential suitors didn’t bother you). Your friends gave up halfway in trying to cheer you up and disappeared somewhere, leaving you to sulk.

That was your whole experience at the club. You were feeling a little tipsy; however, you couldn’t get him out of your mind. He lingered there. And you didn’t want to leave cause the music was nice. It was soothing—going back to your lonely room will only remind you of him more. Besides, it was already late; leaving alone, without any companionship, meant trouble. And you didn’t want to be assaulted just cause you wanted to go home.

But right now—this man interrupted your peace. You eyed him up and down and came to the realization that he was not bad looking. Not at all. Black eyes, black hair, a nice smile—he didn’t seem like a typical fuckboy that you can usually find in clubs, picking on girls that look interesting enough. You didn’t think you were interesting-looking for this boy to start a chat with you, but you welcomed him nonetheless. You managed to put on a feeble smile as he sat down in the chair next to you, ordering something from the bartender. As he was saying nothing, you thought that maybe you’ve just misheard him and it was just your imagination. ‘Who the fuck would want to talk to me in this miserable state?’ you smile bitterly, turning your attention to your beer. You did not know why this hurt you so much—were you that undesirable? You just wanted affection, why—

“Cheers!” you hear out of the blue and you’re even more surprised when someone knocks their bottle with yours gently. You turn your head to the man next to you, his smile turned into worry at your unresponsiveness. “Shit, you look like you need more than one drink.”

Somehow, that made you laugh—you let it all out, raising your bottle. “Amen to that.” And you took a gulp. You were already down the road of getting drunk, but you knew you couldn’t stop at this. You wanted to drink. And this man—he seems like he wants to accompany you. He takes a gulp, eyeing your expression. Under his gaze, your cheeks were starting to get warm. You were thankful the lights in the club were rather dim...dark...intimate. His eyes seem to read straight into your soul, into what you were feeling—and that sort of intimacy was making you squirmish and shy. Your heart was starting to beat faster, unwillingly. He was, after all, very handsome. Just your type. How come you’ve never seen him before? A guy like him has presence; he needs to be noticed. You felt sorry for not noticing him earlier.

“Am I bothering you?” he asks you, leaning a bit forward to be heard over the sound of the loud music. You involuntarily lean towards him, flirtatiously. You did not think you were capable of doing this, after such a short time. But this man, with his voice, his attitude, pushed all of the right buttons. He attracted you, even if he maybe did not plan on that. Maybe he just saw you acting all sad and stuff, and he wanted to cheer up. Nice guys like him exist, simply like that.

“No—no, you don’t,” you shrug, trying to act nonchalant about it.

“That’s cool,” he grins, tilting his head a bit cutely to the side. “My name’s George,” he introduces himself casually. “Some people call me Joji.”

‘Joji?’ Why did this name sound familiar to you? He probably saw the confusion on your face, since he quickly added “Yeah, dunno if you’ve been paying attention, but I’m the DJ that played earlier here.”

“Oh!” Now it made sense. You knew the name was familiar, but it slipped your mind. You probably saw him on the stage, but you were too far from it to have actually recognized him. “Uhh, sorry, I wasn’t exactly paying attention...” you chuckle sheepishly, but he doesn’t seem to mind. He brushes it off.

“It’s ok, I don’t—“

“But I’ve liked the music you played!”

“How would you have known? You’ve been staring at the bottle the whole time I was on stage!” Joji gets closer to you and you get closer to him, without any of you realizing.

You pout cutely, the alcohol in your system starting to work its effect, giving you courage. Joji made you feel at ease, for some unknown reason. It was as if you were meant to be together—you felt the click.

“I’m guessing.”

He laughs—somehow, the sound could be heard through the music. And it was a nice laugher; it filled you with joy. You also felt like laughing, but you caught yourself in time. You couldn’t look too eager for this, to looking forward to know him better. Because that’s what was going to happen—you’ll talk. And maybe...Who knows what else? You crossed your legs, feeling rather weird ever since your eyes landed on Joji. His kind grin melted your heart. And made your legs feel moist. But you couldn’t give anything away.

“You’re kinda mean!” he rests his free hand on your shoulder and you shudder at the warmth of his palm. “But I like that.” Your heart skips a beat at that, but you remain composed. “I-uh...I didn’t catch your name.” He’s flirting and you know it. Those eyes screamed bedroom. And as much as you wanted to get rid of your stress and forgot for a night about that asshole of an ex, you restrained yourself. You barely knew him and you were not fond of one-night stands. Or maybe you weren’t drunk enough.

You lean to whisper into his ear your name. Your so delicate name that Joji repeated after, as if wanting to taste it himself. You liked that. You liked him despite not knowing anything about him in particular.

“So, [name],” he raises his bottle as if in triumph “what made you so sad today?”

“I broke up with my boyfriend a few days ago.”

His expression immediately turns serious “Fuck, that doesn’t sound too good. Do you want to share or...?” His eyes were worried but mischievous at the same time. But that part was hidden, waiting to be discovered.

“I need a lot of drinks, though,” you chuckled.

“I have money. Do you?”

“I do.”

“Then what’s the problem? I’m dying of curiosity.”

“It’s rather boring and typical...” You played with him a little bit. And he responded accordingly, smirking rather suggestively and coming even closer to you.

“But I want to know.”

“Then what are you waiting for?” you were shaking the empty bottle in front of him to prove a point. “Buy me more drinks.”

That was done in a second—more and more bottles followed and both of your mouths loosened. You talked more and more about yourselves until you realized that you had a lot in common. You two were so perfect together, it was as if you knew each other your whole lives. You two started it slow, talking general things, getting to know each other better—what your jobs are, what hobbies do you have... And even if the atmosphere in the club was secluded, giving you a pretext to get closer to one another in order to whisper in each other’s ears—you both wanted more than that. You could see it in his eyes that he wanted you in more...unorthodox ways. The point was that you wanted him in the same way. You couldn’t deny it. It was written all over you, in your touches, in your eyes, in the way you were constantly licking his lips—and how often you glanced at his lips. He was also doing that, not as subtle as you.

You blamed the high amount of alcohol in your system—but you were thinking straight even if your vision was blurry.

You both agreed on moving the conversation at his apartment. And there....

Well. The rest is history.

[alvskat]

below the cut are lil descriptions of my precious children for anyone that is new and wants to plot or anyone that just totally forgot i was a thing from my long hiatus!! just like this and i’ll come to your messages!!

cordelia genevieve von jenner (gigi hadid fc) - 21;; art major, fashion design minor;; aries;; queen bitch;; cordelia grew up in beverly hills, california with literally everything she could have ever wanted. her family is like the kardashians of beverly hills. everyone thinks they’re perfect, but she really has a shitty home life. her dad is never around--he’s always partying or with clients--and her mom is rarely around and when she is, she’s extremely critical of her daughter and offers her free plastic surgery to help fix her daughter’s “flaws.” cordelia was mainly raised by nannies. she goes through men like she goes through handbags, constantly falling in and out of love for the wrong reasons. she’s been cheated on by every person she’s ever dated. she’s kind of a huge bitch when it comes to things, and she says like more than she blinks, but in all reality, she isn’t a bad person. just confused and sad and especially lonely. she’s also the most airheaded person you’ll ever fuckin’ meet. when in doubt, remember that she’s basically a mix of cher from clueless and serena from gossip girl tbh.

margot avery benson (nina dobrev fc) - 21;; pre-med major;; leo;; the sweetheart;; margot is probably one of the kindest people that anyone has ever met. she cares about people to an extreme degree. she’s competitive to a fault, headstrong, and never without a smile on her face. she’s also the biggest klutz known to man and tends to make awkward situations 200x more awkward than they need be. she’s the second oldest of four siblings--the eldest of whom recently died in a tragic car accident over the summer. this really affected margot’s world negatively and made her re-evaluate things. she was dating a boy that now goes to nyu with her for a very long time--they were high school sweethearts and everyone thought they would go on to be together forever--but after her sister’s death, she immediately pulled away from him, breaking up with him because she realized she hadn’t gotten to experience much of life without a boyfriend. basically, her purpose is now to feel as alive as possible and be the best person she can be the next two years she has of school.

rowan scott vitto (jeremy allen white fc) - 21;; journalism major;; capricorn;; the stoic stoner;; rowan is a party monster, honestly, and has a love for the green stuff. overall, he’s not so much different from his frat brothers--he parties, he sleeps around--but he is a kind, poetic soul at heart. he spends most of his time reading old literature and writing his own poetry. he has two younger sisters, chloe and venus, who he protects like no other. his father is a little out there as a person and, in turn, so is he. they’re a close family for the most part, but the death of their mom really took its toll on all of them. when he’s graduated, rowan wants to get a job as a news reporter for the new york times and pursues this by being co-editor of the school newspaper. he’s ambitious and romantic and just the sweetest lil southern gentleman  you’ll ever see in your life. he’s also ridiculously rich and is very giving because of it, as he knows that not everyone has the same opportunities as he does.

waverly renee heart (cher lloyd fc) - 19;; music tech major;; scorpio;; the virtuoso;; waverly is a free spirit to say the least. she grew up in a small town in pennsylvania and absolutely hated it. everyone there was closed-minded and, as a proud and out bisexual who had dated women frequently, it never sat right with her the things that were said there. her parents have always been supportive of who she was and she’s particularly close with her mom. she has never really been school smart, but discovered that she had a natural talent for music when she was very young. she was practically a prodigy and could learn (and has learned) any instrument that she’s set her mind to. naturally, her love for music grew and her hatred for school work did as well. most of her time is spent mixing new tracks instead of paying attention to her studies. she djs right now on the weekends for various clubs in the area and sings at a restaurant in the city on week nights to earn some extra cash, but she really wants to be in los angeles one day spinning professionally. until then, she’s partying away her days at college.

dylan helena jones (eliza taylor fc) - 20;; biology major;; aries;; the reformed bad girl;; dylan’s gone through a lot in her years of life, despite her young age. she has a twin sister that she doesn’t know exists. when she was a teenager, she came out to her parents as gay and, the religious folk that they were, they promptly kicked her out. she moved to california to live with her aunt and cousin until she left for university. she still goes back on breaks and what not. for a while, she was the rebellious type, trying every single type of drug and alcohol that she could get her hands on, but that didn’t last. over the summer, she overdosed on pills by accident and was rushed to the emergency room. she went to therapy for a while and doesn’t really fuck with drugs or drinking anymore, afraid of a repeat. her aunt and cousin are incredibly protective over her now with everything that’s happened and she’s trying to keep herself in check, as well. she’s tight-lipped about what happened and hasn’t really told anyone unless they’re incredibly close to her. she just wants to do well at this point and make up for the time in her life she spent giving everyone a heart attack and just being a bad kid, but reform is hard when all your old influences are coming back out to play as the semester starts up.

Dubfire, Nicole Moudaber, Art Department & More Pay Tribute to The BPM Festival Following Ban

Dubfire, Nicole Moudaber, Art Department & More Pay Tribute to The BPM Festival Following Ban

Over the past ten years, The BPM Festival has cultivated a legacy of excellence among electronic music fans, attracting upwards of 70,000 people annually for its 10-day long festival in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Unfortunately, as of Monday morning, Jan. 16, it’s a legacy that will be forever marred by the mass shooting at Blue Parrot nightclub.

In the wake of the shooting, which left five dead and 15 wounded upon the final night of the festival, The BPM Festival has reportedly been banned from Playa del Carmen, along with all electronic music events of similar nature.

[readmore:7655437]

“At this moment, our general stance is not to allow BPM to perform here,” said Mayor of Solidaridad and President of the Business Coordinating Council of the Riviera Maya Cristina Torres Gómez in a press conference on Monday.

The decisive ruling would put an end to The BPM Festival’s 10-year run in Playa del Carmen, negating the festival’s historically peaceful relationship with the city. Not only would such a ban disrupt one of the largest annual tourist draws for the region, but it would effectively displace a bastion of global electronic music culture.

Of course, it’s possible The BPM Festival could find a new home in Mexico — last week, the event founders announced the festival’s expansion to Brazil and Portugal in 2017. Regardless, the loss of the festival’s home in Playa del Carmen — as inevitable as it now seems — serves as a blow to the global electronic music community.

Billboard Dance has reached out to some of the The BPM Festival’s most celebrated performers and industry figures to pay tribute to the beloved event.

Nicole Moudaber

“I’m deeply saddened and horrified by the tragic event that took place at blue parrot on the very last night of the festival. My night ran til 8am that Sunday morning at Blue Parrot – I can still feel the energy of that place. My heart goes out to the families and friends who lost their loved ones in the name of freedom, love, dance and compassion. But what is really disturbing here is the local council blaming the promoters of BPM for what happened. This is not fair, they are the ones who put Playa Del Carmen on the map, promoting tourism, boosting their economy. To blame them is like slapping the hand that fed you. They brought joy, culture, art and people from all over the world to celebrate life under one sound. It’s a shame and very sad.”

  Stacey Pullen

“The BPM Festival and the organizers are like family to me, one of the reasons why is because i was the first dj from Detroit to play at the Festival. I’ve been attending since the second year and seen it grow dramatically over the 10 year period in beautiful Playa Del Carmen with very minimal negative issues. Most importantly i have a personal relationship with all of them and that was the unique thing about this festival because most festivals are that you play the gig and you leave but that wasn’t the case here”.

  Erick Morillo

“It’s a shame that the actions of a few have put a negative ending to what has become, in the last 10 years, one of the most important festivals of the year due to the fact that it promotes underground music in a very beautiful setting.  Like the Winter Music conference and Ibiza, BPM is the stage in which it is imperative to have a presence and a place where artists have the ability to break records.  I hope it long lives as it is a crucial part of our industry.”

Dubfire

“By the time of the inaugural BPM event, I’d known Craig Pettigrew since the 90’s, having worked with him on various tours as Deep Dish around Canada. We became fast friends so when I got the pitch for BPM I was on board immediately. That first year it really felt like an intimate Canadian event; one in which we all were a part of to escape the brutally cold January winter. Throughout the years I proudly watched it blossom into one of the most revered and essential music events in the world; one in which I simply HAD to take part in every year. The memories I have are countless and very, very special. From epic nights to Blue Parrot and Kool Beach, special after parties that stretched into the afternoon, to the TechnoTacos pop ups I did with Richie Hawtin and more recently the opportunity to have brought the HYBRID show on a specially built stage at The Jungle.”

  Lee Burridge

“We were all shocked and saddened to hear the news coming out of Mexico this week. Our musical community has never been a place where violence rears it’s ugly head very often. Especially in such an extreme way. BPM festival has always been a place for us to celebrate life. To spend time with friends, make new friends, dance and escaping the cold of winter.

The festival themselves were celebrating their tenth year this year. Ten years of delivering a safe, well run, high quality destination dance music event. In those ten years they’ve supported a wonderful and diverse mix of DJs, live acts and well known event brands for us to experience. We went to clubs, beaches and even danced in the jungle. I know the organizers very well. They are kind souls. They work extremely hard each and every year to bring us a consistent and fun festival to attend. The actions of a lone individual shouldn’t be allowed to represent the example set year after year both by those who organize and those that attend a festival full of happiness and positivity.”

  Art Department

“I think it’s obviously a shame that this type of behaviour and mentality has ended a great run for an amazing music festival of course. But the more severe issue here is the presence of the cartels and their disregard for human life in certain areas of the world, particularly in Mexico. The fact that this happened at BPM is an issue of time and place and obviously has nothing to do with the music or “our community” as people like to put it. This isn’t an issue brought on by the arrival of a festival or techno and it’s completely foolish to use language that tie a massive tragedy like this to this culture, especially following a political issue like we just faced in the UK with the closure of Fabric Nightclub due to misplaced blame and responsibility. It’s so important to make that distinction right now while the world is watching.

Regardless of the efforts made by Playa officials to cast blame on the festival – the one factor that can be most easily and swiftly removed – in hopes of quickly restoring a feeling of security there, they’re fully aware that the fault here does not lay with festival organizers. And I know without a shadow of a doubt that regardless of the “ban” the organizers would not consider risking another life to hold the festival there again. BPM is still BPM and can easily relocate, and we will all be there to support and perform when it does.

It’s been a great ten years in PDC and I’m thankful to have been involved there from day one. I’m just very sorry that it has ended with a political finger pointed at the organization when the issue is still very much alive and well there with BPM over. Thoughts are with Kirk Wilson’s family and all of the other people who suffered a loss this week.”

Joris Voorn

“It’s unbelievable that during on the last day of it’s 10th anniversary, BPM comes to such a tragic end. Even though I’ve been at BPM only a few times, it felt like being at home amongst my peers and music lovers from around the globe. I am certain this won’t be the end, the people behind BPM will find a way to unite us again, at a different time and place. Our thoughts remain with the victims.”

  Nic Fanciulli

“I’ve had some amazing times at BPM over the years, and the owners are good friends of mine.  I think the first time i played was around 2010, so 7 years ago!  I’ve seen it grow from a small gathering of friends to a global powerhouse in the short space of 10 years.  Traditionally it was our version of Miami Music Week, where we could go and see all of our friends and listen to good music. My top three moments are probably; our Saved showcase in 2013 at Kool Beach (the first time we brought Carl Cox to BPM), La Familia at Blue Parrot in 2015 with Joris Voorn, and this year my We Are The Night party at Blue Parrot playing with Carl.  Hopefully they can come to an agreement with the government there and keep this festival alive; it’s always a shame to see the spirit of music affected like this”

  Gorgon City

“We’re extremely heartbroken at the events that took place on Jan. 15. We had just hosted our own party at Blue Parrot the week before, and have spent many nights in the club over the last few years, we always felt so safe there. We’re truly shocked by what happened. Our thoughts go out to the BPM security team and all those affected.”

Ben Turner (co-founder, International Music Summit)

“BPM has emerged as one of the leading celebrations of global electronic music culture in the annual calendar and, in its tenth year, had attracted interest from global media platforms and holidaymakers from all corners of the planet. It is probably the biggest winter celebration to mirror the summer season in Ibiza, and had recently replaced Winter Music Conference in Miami for the industry’s get-together in the darker months. BPM’s founders and curatorial team are music lovers who have contributed to global dance culture with a unique ten-day format albeit clearly with local challenges in a tough part of the world.”

  Jazz Spinder (agent, CAA)

“I am one of the lucky ones who have had the privilege of watching BPM grow into one of the most important events in the yearly festival calendar. This is a festival that is truly about the music. A place where artists go to see other artists play and end up combining sets or extending their own sets in a unique atmosphere. Not a place to get in and out of, but a place to stay for days at a time to catch up, let your guard down and and take in the magic from the beaches to the jungles.”

  Ed Hill (operations director, Be-At.TV)

“Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this senseless tragedy, particularly the families and loved ones of the deceased and injured. It’s incredibly sad that this should happen after an incredible 10 years of the BPM Festival. We have loved working with the BPM family over the last five years and are deeply saddened that a joyful and life-enhancing festival should be tarnished by violence. Absolutely nobody wins here.”

I still think of you

I still think of you…

A whole two years later.

Is that just because you were my first real girlfriend?

Every day I see your name on the side of my Spotify “Friend Activity” and my heart still pinches without fail. I wonder if you feel it sometimes.

I still listen to your music. Not because I’m some sort of stalker of course, but because you really do have great taste, and because Spotify is a nag.

Most of the songs I’ve been playing every day on repeat are your top choices. They’ve all got that cool, upbeat but slightly melancholy, “I’ve found a treasure,” indie feel to them. They speak to me even though I never expected to understand that language.

Plucking at the chords of my heart. I’m not going to say I don’t enjoy it. It’s like sour candy.

*

All right. Hypothetically, say I was actually in love with you, even though I never said those words to you back then… Just imagine that for a moment. Could I really have not been aware of my feelings or am I now idealizing what I no longer have?

If this was really love, why am I not fighting to the death, even now, to get you back?

It’s likely that I’m just a softie romantic who enjoys being a little sad after a glass of wine.

I also think that — in a very self-loving sense — I was always looking for a sign that you were crazy for me. I never got that. I think I would have reached back out if I’d seen that.

Into you - French Horn Rebellion

I listen to this song and I think back to Venice.

November 2019. We go every year for Maman’s birthday.

There’s Acqua Alta this year, particularly acute. We have to buy plastic boot coatings on the street and our antique hotel lobby is under siege, thankfully protected by a clever micro metallic dam that has been erected. Local shops are devastated but still operating — it’s sad to watch and still, life continues.

We still explore Venice treading carefully, dealing with two-lane traffic on one-lane wooden planks. I am well surrounded by my loving and loved parents and yet very lonely as well. Missing a past time. Missing you or the idea of you.

Then, a few days later onto Padova for a half a day visit to Saint Anthony and a plate of tartufo nero tagliatele and then Modena for more gastronomy.

Osteria Francecana. The best restaurant in the world, apparently. I treated Maman and Papa. Had planned this for a few months and we stayed at Casa Maria Luigia, chef Bottura’s lovely quaint estate outside of the city.

My heart was so full and so empty at once. I have never experienced such a thing before. Walking around the beautiful grounds with my parents, then alone. A perfectly bucolic scene that could be interpreted any way, happy or sad depending on the mood of the observer. The whole world empty and full of promise.

I will be back one day. With someone I love.

On many far away trips I have been telling myself this for a while and sort of want to make it happen now. Very much so actually.

Then I think back to Paris a few days earlier.

*

I had finally reached out, after more than a year and a half of thinking and frustrated restraint.

I’d seen that you were working in Paris at least for the time being and given that I was coming home to visit my parents I couldn’t not seize the opportunity.

This doesn’t really make sense, given that we both live in New York and that for at least a year after breaking up with you I often walked by your building in the hopes of running into you.

But because it was Paris I had to.

And… regret minimization I’d decided. I’d imagined myself in my last breaths thinking:

Yup, that was the love of my live…

No, I wouldn’t allow myself to die with that doubt in mind.

So I reached out to you and suggested we catch up over lunch. I asked you where your office was and suggested a cute little place I knew nearby. Les Saisons.

I remember before leaving the apartment lying to Maman and telling her I was heading out for a business lunch. When I was back home I often had to explain why I wasn’t free for a meal. That’s love! But here I also didn’t want to deal with any explanations. I’d brought you up with her and even though she meant the best I always felt like my delicate feelings were being uncomfortably prodded when I brought things up. This was my decision and my tender subtleties to deal with alone.

I’d nervously jumped out of my Uber a few blocks from the restaurant, for a few reasons. Firstly the street was very quaint and had a ton of little shops and activity. Secondly I was listening to music and wanted to build up to walking in at my own rhythm. I was giddy, excited, sad, hopeful, etc. I’m sure you can sympathize.

I turned onto the street I had been looking for, realized I didn’t really have a plan or clear objective, and as I walked in I immediately saw you there. You were seated at the first table and smiled at me calmly, warmly. You were familiarity found again.

You made conversation easy, which was very nice of you. I ordered — in French of course — which helped to make me look good and charming, and we each had a glass of red. I think I had a second. I asked you how your French was doing. Learning a few words you said. The food was ok but the place was perfect and ideal for the occasion. I couldn’t focus very much on eating. I forget what we talked about. It was fairly playful and insignificant. A shroud of light-light-heartlessness over something that felt heavier.

When we got done you said you’d better get back to work soon. I offered to walk you, even though you warned me it wasn’t that close. We stopped by a café and I got us two to go. I think I had to run to the restroom because of an upset stomach and I pretended like there’d been a line because I was embarrassed.

As we continued walking I complimented your bonnet and at some point briefly pulled it off your head by the little furry ball at the top, to which you giggled. I was grateful that I wasn’t forbidden from or scolded for such an intimate gesture. I had an urge to hold you as we kept walking down Paris. Funnily, this was also one of the first times I’d experienced a real romantic moment in my childhood city.

Your office was by a park, a square more precisely as we like to say sometimes in Paris, and as we were walking up to the door I wondered if I would try to kiss you or say something. I didn’t. I gave you a regretful bise and left.

I then walked around feeling a little dazed and FaceTimed one of my best friends back on the East Coast…

How did it go??

I told him I hadn’t really addressed anything, and that I suppose my intention was just to get more time with her, one more good look to know how I felt. It still wasn’t clear.

So, what are you going to do?

I don’t know. I think I’m going to go get an Old Fashioned at the Hoxton and think about it.

I was flying to Italy the next day for Maman’s birthday and if I wanted to make something happen it had to be now.

I opened my phone and started drafting a long note to you, explaining what I’d been wanting to tell you. Then I ran it by a few people and decided it would be best to try to tell you in person.

So I texted you and said something along the lines of…

Hey… I feel like I didn’t get to share everything that was on my mind at lunch. Would you be around later today?

At first you offered a quick 45 minute slot, which was disappointing (and I was about to drop the whole thing then), but upon hearing that this was my only day in Paris for a while you moved things around. So I went.

I picked the Experimental Cocktail Club, post dinner. An intimate speakeasy on an alley, rue Saint-Sauveur, sometimes with a live DJ.

At dinner I was of course absent-minded and a little heavy but didn’t loop my folks in. I didn’t yet have a resolution.

When I arrived you were already seated and had made friends with the bartender, who also was a foreigner.

We talked a little about nothing and then I realized I could no longer afford to beat around the bush.

Thanks for coming here. Listen, I wanted to start off by apologizing for the way that things ended… I feel like it was abrupt, out of nowhere, and you didn’t deserve that.

I meant this although I’m not sure this was really what I wanted to say. I just needed a way in.

I’ve continued to think about you almost every day… I added self-consciously. It doesn’t help that you have these public monthly playlists and that you have great taste in music. By the way, you’re late for this month’s — I checked!

You chuckled.

I noticed you tearing up a little, cracking up in your voice.

So why didn’t you didn’t think of reaching out earlier?

I paused.

I wasn’t sure about how I felt. If it makes you feel any better I felt terrible for several months but just didn’t really know how to approach it.

A pause again.

- Well.. thank you for saying that, but… I feel like our relationship lived its course and for some reason that we never got to the next level… so I’ve turned the page.

I could tell that you didn’t fully mean that and still I resented this American way of describing a very personal matter like something out of a TV show.

You added:

- I feel like I should also tell you that I’m seeing someone. It’s not very serious but I’m giving it a shot.

I pretended not to be affected and in a dignified way inquired a little. You revealed that it was a coworker of yours. He sounded pretty menial.

At this point I felt I’d ingested a strange cocktail of emotions.

I almost saw myself from above, sitting there late at night at this bar in Paris, feeling sorry for myself when you clearly didn’t understand me. You can accuse me of having a big ego all you will… I knew I was a catch and that I wasn’t like everyone else, certainly not like this coworker of yours. And I felt like you underestimated me. Anger was winning over nostalgia. I excused myself to the restroom, and when I came back you did the same.

As you were gone I settled the bill and ordered a car.

You seemed half surprised, which surprised me even more.

Why were you here in the first place if you had this new boyfriend?

How could you think that he would even stand a chance against me in any competition? Could you not see the difference?

Why were you still here?

Did you really think I was going to stick around longer after that conversation?

Did you really think I was the type of person who just wanted to make friends with my “ex?”

I wished you a good night with no visible anger and headed out. I felt like this might be the last time I’d ever see you.

I felt very down and kind of wanted to walk the 45 minutes home sulking but it was raining and I went home by car, more efficiently, and the next day to Italy carrying this weight along with me.

But at least in my mind I could now tell myself that I’d made the right decision and that this was not meant to be. I had made the right call back then.

Tonight I had been looking for a clue, a glimmer, anything to convince me that I’d been wrong, which I had not found. I had wanted to be wrong and to have everything I’d ever desired right there in front of me, finally revealed.

But that had not happened.

And still your music.

And that note you left in that book you gave me about reincarnation once - Many Lives, Many Masters:

Nathan, you’ve definitely lived many lives.

You may have been so lucky to meet me in one of them.

xo

What would I need to see in a girl to feel like she understands me?

I think I would want to be seen.

I am ranting again.

This doesn’t really serve any purpose. I have better things to do.

Chapter closed…

…again.
