New WIP: Closed Position
In case you missed it, I have new WIP called Closed Position. Yes, you are getting another Dieter Bravo fic from me because the man is literally rotting my brain. I am not sorry for this. This Dieter will be a little bit of a menace and significantly different than the Dieter from Destiny & Deliverance. He will be joining the cast of Dancing with the Stars, so it's going to be pretty hot too. 馃敟馃敟馃敟 So far, the prologue and one teaser have been posted. Initial updates for this fic will be a little slower because D&D is currently my main focus since it is so close to the end. I want to finish that one out before I get too infatuated with Ballroom Dancing Dieter. I have a feeling he is going to take over all of my thoughts if I am not careful... 馃サ
Destiny & Deliverance Update
Since I have kept y'all waiting longer than normal for Chapter 26 of Destiny & Deliverance, I'll drop a little snippet below for WIP Wednesday to hold you over. I hope to have a full teaser out very soon. Maybe even tomorrow...馃 The chapter is coming along. I would say I am about 1/3 of the way through as we speak, and I plan to knock out another good chunk of it today now that I am back on a roll. 馃槈 Enjoy...馃ゴ

Playing Cupid (chapter 10)
New chapter out now! There are only 2-3 left before the end of this fic. The edited version will be out tomorrow on ao3. Also keep your eyes open for a little simbar in this chapter. Luna and Matteo have been building their lives together slowly. Fresh out of college, they鈥檙e planning their future. But by planning this, they have an underlying plan no one knows of. Bringing their best friends together after 4 years of not being happy without the other. How well will their plan of playing Cupid work?
Prologue | chapter 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | find my other fics here
"So nothing happened?" Luna insisted as she and Nina were walking to the bridal shop for the last dress fitting before the wedding.
"Well, I wouldn't say nothing," Nina answered as she looked down at her feet to hide her blush.
Suddenly, out of excitement, Luna took Nina's arm and pulled it to make her stop. She asked excitedly: "What? What happened? Tell me!"
"You remember the day we went scouting for locations?", Nina said carefully.
"Right, the location you found was even better than the one we initially had," she said, already imagining her and Matteo standing there on front of all their friends.
"When we started talking about you two loving the location, I started imagining the romance that comes with marriage on that venue and there was this moment, where it was just the two of us and we were this close to kissing," Nina gestured with her thumb and pointer finger close to one another to indicate the distance there was between them.
Luna jumped up and down at the news and said: "That's great! That must mean he feels the same way about you."
"I don't want to get too excited. It was just the spur of the moment. It meant nothing," she tried to deny, not wanting to get her hopes up.
"Don't say that, you have to keep hoping," she rested her hand on her best friend's arm in support.
"Let's just get going," Nina said, not wanting to think about it.
Luna understood and together, they started walking again to go to the bridal shop.
***
"I'm talling you, she likes you," Matteo said to Gast贸n, also on their way to the bridal shop.
Every bridesmaid and groomsman had to come to the fitting today. The suits were also tailored in the bridal shop.
"I just think she got swept up in the heat of the moment. There was a romantic side to it all," Gast贸n said airily, not wanting to show how much that moment meant to him.
"And I always thought me and Luna were bad at communication," Matteo shook his head in disbelief.
"What are you on about?" he took a look at Matteo to see him roll his eyes.
"We all see they way you look at each other and it's still the same look you had when you were both so in love in senior year at Blake," Matteo explained, "It hasn't changed in six years."
"Really? I haven't noticed," Gast贸n frowned, trying to picture what his best friend is saying.
"Of course you haven't. You know, this all reminds me of the time I was so dumb to see how Luna truly felt about me when that guy Michel appeared," he said with a fond smile, he did frown when he said the name Michel. He would never like that guy.
"Oh, I remember you complaining a lot about that guy. I would have loved to be there to witness your idiocy and to talk some sense into you," Gast贸n chuckled at the many phone calls with Matteo during that time. He really was hopeless when it came to Luna.
"Well, now it's my job to do that," Matteo became serious and continued, "What you need is one clear conversation with Nina and everything will be cleared up."
"You make it sound so simple," he sighed, not believing a word.
"That's because it is," he just answered, "And I'll make sure I'll prove you right. I'll just have to convince Luna, 脕mbar and Sim贸n to leave you two alone in a way where you can't do anything but talk."
Matteo held his chin in thought, already trying to come up with dozens of ways to make this happen.
Gast贸n's eyes widened and said: "You're going to do this now?"
"The sooner the better, weddings are all about happiness and romance so I'd love to see you and Nina being happy and together at our wedding," he said.
"You really want us to be together?" Gast贸n said in surprise.
"Of course, I want you to be happy and you've never been as happy as you were with Nina. I know that wouldn't have changed a bit," Matteo said as if it was the world's most known fact.
"Thank you for being such a good friend," Gast贸n smiled and gave him a quick hug, "Now, let's get this fitting over with."
***
"I see you've already started on the champagne," Matteo said with a smile as he entered the bridal shop with his best friend.
"You were just taking too long," 脕mbar said with a smirk.
"Is Luna here yet?" Sim贸n asked as he appeared and stood next to his fianc茅e.
"She was coming with Nina, she's probably running a little late," Matteo answered, "While we wait for the other girls to appear, we can already try the suits for me and the groomsmen."
"Oh, Sim贸n in a suit, I can't wait to see that," 脕mbar said as she sat down on the sofa in front of the fitting rooms with her glass in her hands.
"I'm sure you would look radiating in your bridesmaid's dress as well," he flirted and pecked her on the cheek. Getting into the fitting room.
The other guys followed but not before he sent a text to Luna that they needed to talk as soon as she came in.
"Hey, sorry we're late. We ran into some issues on the way," Luna apologized as soon as she came in the shop.
"It's fine, we already got started," Matteo greeted her as he walked out of the fitting room and taking Luna in his arms as he gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Don't you look handsome," Luna said as she looked him up and down.
"I always look handsome," he answered her with a fond smile.
"Let's look at the other before your ego grows too big," 脕mbar interrupted their sweet moment.
"Here we are," Sim贸n said as he appeared in front of the four people in the room.
"I'm definitely not disappointed to have come here," 脕mbar said as she looked at the guy she loves so much.
"I'm sure I can't compare with you by my side at the wedding," Sim贸n said while he gave her a big smile.
"Alright guys, let the girls put on their dresses and wait with the flirting when you have a room on your own," Matteo said as he put a hand on Sim贸n's shoulder, showing them he's just teasing.
"Let's go Nina, the bride will put on her dress after Matteo left," 脕mbar said and took Nina by the arm to lead her to the fitting room.
"Hold on, 脕mbar, I'd like to ask you something first," Matteo stopped her before she was gone, Nina already disappeared.
"What's going on?" she frowned, having no clue why she was pulled apart.
"Yeah, your text sounded urgent," Luna interrupted.
"It's time we do some more matchmaking with the two lovebirds that aren't together but really want to be," Matteo said with an excited smile.
Sim贸n turned to Gast贸n to confirm who they were talking about, Gast贸n just rolled his eyes and shook his head in exasperation.
"Is that why you two have been so secretive lately? Because you were playing matchmakers?" 脕mbar raised an eyebrow.
"Sadly, yes," Gast贸n sighed.
"Come on, you agreed," Matteo said with a frown.
"I did and I think I'm starting to regret it," he answered.
"You don't," Matteo said without blinking.
Gast贸n answered: "You're right."
"Okay, what's the plan?" Luna interrupted, wanting to get back on track.
"We need to get them to talk alone without interruptions," Mattteo started to explain.
"Easy, just lock them in the fitting room, it locks from the outside," 脕mbar simply said.
The four others look at her with a frown.
"What? I might not pull that stuff anymore but that doesn't mean I don't notice things," she said in a flat tone.
"You're brilliant, bonita," Sim贸n said and gave her a kiss on her crown.
"Okay, now we just got to figure out how we get Gast贸n in that fitting room," Luna said, thinking out loud.
"That's easy. He just walks in," Matteo said.
They all start to think for a moment and couldn't find a better alternative. They ended up nodding and agreeing with his plan. It was the best they could do.
"Alright, let's get this crazy plan started," Gast贸n sighed and gave in. Getting ready to finally have the conversation he and Nina had to have.

edit 1: I FORGOT TO MENTION I MADE A PLAYLIST FOR THIS STORY! IT ISNT IN ANY SPECIFIC ORDER OR ANYTHING BUT THESE ARE SONGS THAT I ASSOCIATE WITH THE STORY
prologue link here :)
---
It had been five years since Bruno left. Five years of living without your husband, five years of raising your children without their pap谩.聽
The triplets often asked about him. What he was like, where he is, when he'd be back. You always told them the truth.聽
You told them how kind and loving he was, how much he loved all three of them, how he could be shy at times, how he was often nervous to talk to people because of how they perceived his gift. You told them that you don't know where their father is, but you knew he'd be back soon. His words still rang in your ears every day: "I'll only be gone for a minute, promise."
You thought of him as you carried a heavy basket of sweets and fireworks back home from the village. He would've loved to see tonight.
"T铆o!" Camilo yelled, noticing your bit of a struggle with the basket. He shapeshifted into you, (which was always a weird sight to see,) and held up the other end.聽
"Together!" He yelled. You smiled at your nephew.聽聽
"Thank you, Camilo. Together!"聽聽
Camilo had just recently turned ten years old. When he was little, he had "crowned" you as his favorite uncle. That always seemed to stick.
Even as a five-year-old, after Bruno disappeared, he would shapeshift just to help you with the triplets.聽聽聽
Finally, you made it back to the house and set the basket on a table.聽聽
聽"Thank you, Camilo, you're a big hel-"聽聽
"Camilo! Come help your cousins with the decorating!"聽聽
"Coming, Mami! Bye T铆o!" He grinned and ran off, back as himself.聽聽
You couldn't even get through a sentence. That's how important today was.聽聽聽
You made your way up the stairs, lightly brushing your fingers over the beautiful flowers Isabella put there.聽聽聽
As soon as you opened the door to the nursery, chaos filled your ears.
"Dad! I can't get this silly dress on right!"聽
聽"I can't find my glasses, Dad!"聽聽
"How many people are going to be there?"聽聽
"Is Pap谩 coming?"聽聽
"What if we don't get gifts like Mira?"聽
You heard a huff from under the covers at the last one. You knew tonight would be hard for your little niece.聽聽
"Whoa, whoa, slow down, mis peque帽os!" You chuckled, helping Sofia with her dress.聽聽聽
"Let's take these one at a time. Mateo, I have your glasses right here. I'm sure most of the village will love to come to see you three, and if you don't get gifts," You sat down on Mirabel's bed. "We will still love you. You're still as special as anyone else." You pulled the covers down below her head and ruffled her hair.聽聽
You pulled Mateo, (who was holding a hairbrush out to you,) into your lap and started to tame his mane of hair. Carlos and Sofia both rambled on about what their gifts may be.聽聽聽
Mateo was quiet, which wasn't unusual for him, but he seemed different now. He chewed on his lip and held your free hand.聽 He was just like his Pap谩.聽聽
"Mateo, mijo," You turned his face towards your own. "You'll do wonderfully. All of you will."聽
You kissed the top of his now-fully-brushed brown hair. He smiled and nodded, your words boosting his confidence.聽聽
"I bet mine's going to be the coolest!" Carlos shouted. And just like that, Mateo was chatting with his siblings again.聽聽聽
All three of them had the same toothy grin, which was so cute that anyone who saw it smiled themselves. They had freckles that spotted their face and arms from playing in the sun; kisses from the rays to compliment their skin.聽聽
You couldn't believe that they were five already. You loved these children with all of your heart, but five years seemed too long. They were still your babies.
"Dad! You never answered if Pap谩 was going to be here!" Sofia told you, crossing her arms over her chest. Little firecracker.聽聽
"I'm not sure, mija," You kissed her cheek. "But I know that if he could, he'd be sitting here with us, so excited to see his babies get their gifts."聽聽
You kissed each of them on the top of their heads and looked them over one last time. Their white and gold outfits, their little smiles, their freckles, their curly hair.聽聽聽
You sighed happily, barely able to contain your tears.聽聽聽
"I love you three so, so much." You said, a fatherly smile on your face.聽聽聽
"I love you too!" They all said in unison, something that happened often with that particular phrase.聽聽聽
"Wait- Are you crying? Nooo, Dad! Stop!" Carlos wrapped his arms around your neck. The other two followed, wrapping themselves around your arms. It was always awkward to see your dad cry.聽聽
"Uhm... T铆o?" The sweet voice of your little niece met your ears. "Casita says that it's time..."聽聽聽
The three pulled away, nervous once again, until you kissed them all on the cheeks.聽聽
"Thank you, Mirabel. Now, come on, all of you. We don't want to be late, now do we?" You stood and offered your hands out. Carlos took your left, Sofia took your right, and Mateo took Sofia's free hand.聽
"Mira?" You called out to her softly. "Aren鈥檛 you coming too?"聽 She visibly brightened at your words and nodded firmly before grabbing Carlos' hand.聽聽
Then, together, you made your way downstairs.聽
