i think my favourite thing about those reincarnation memes ("welcome back princess diana" "welcome back jesus" etc.) is that most of the people they're reincarnating into suffer just as much if not more than the original. i'm kind of obsessed with the hypothetical world we're building where reincarnation is real and it's some kind of cruel cosmic joke.

I know it’s too soon and it sounds like they have everything under control, but let’s say the worst happens and we suddenly have King William and Queen Catherine….
Yes, it would be sad yada yada, but how delicious to see the Harkles forced to bow/ curtsey to the new King and Queen in public. 
Markle would brave the humiliation to help her brand, but how humiliating for them to bow/ curtsey to their hated rivals. 
***
Seeing Meghan have to grovel to William and Kate would be better than a free dessert with Costco-sized portions.
The humiliation she felt at the Queen’s funeral is going to pale in comparison to the humiliation she will feel at the King’s funeral. And when you think about it, The Queen’s funeral was three times the humiliation Meghan was expecting:
1. She (and Harry) were already in the UK which meant she was on a kind of lockdown that kept her from orchestrating the usual PR shenanigans she has become accustomed to when the BRF has major ceremonial events like this. She not only had ‘the firm’ watching her, but Harry was also there with her, in the same house, and she couldn’t just send him away so she could scheme in private (as she did every other time Harry went back to London without her, and notably for Philip’s funeral).
2. This “lockdown” also meant that she couldn’t go anywhere. No traveling, no parties, no nothing because of tightened security protocols, which means she couldn’t escape any of the criticism being said about her and Harry and she also couldn’t escape any of the praise Kate was getting...whom everyone was now calling The Princess of Wales while she was just ‘Meghan.’
3. It was made very clear that she and Harry were not welcome around the family, neither the main “branch” of Charles and Waleses nor the extended family. Harry wasn’t invited on the plane with William, but Andrew was. Harry wasn’t invited to Birkhall with Charles the night The Queen died to discuss transition. Hardman’s book all but says no one talked to Harry that night at Balmoral over dinner. Harry didn’t do the “family” walkabout at Balmoral with the rest of the grandchildren. The Sussexes didn’t get their own “meet the public and view the tributes” walkabout like the rest of the titled family members (minus the Yorkies). Charles called them ‘Harry and Meghan’ (no titles) and wished them well overseas in his first speech after The Queen’s passing. Harry wasn’t part of the Accession Council. Members of the public visibly and audibly refused to give greetings to Meghan at the Windsor walkabout. Harry had his ER revoked from his military uniform the one time he did get to wear it. Meghan was rejected by Camilla, Kate, and Sophie at the funeral - look at the gulf between them after the service when they were curtsying the cortege. No one spoke to them after The Queen’s commital service when they were waiting to leave but the staff.
It’s going to be so, so much worse when Charles passes. Especially if they’re in California (like when Philip passed) and all these negotiations are happening over much longer distances with much more time zones.
(And I do think Harry has some regret over The Queen and Philip’s passing - he “wasn’t told” they were dying so he didn’t get to see them one last time, which which probably made the trauma from Diana’s passing fresh again, and that’s why we see Harry making urgent plans to see Charles. This isn’t a knock against Harry; I missed seeing my own grandfather before he passed, the only cousin/grandchild who did, and the woulda/coulda/shoulda is very real so I completely understand. I do, however, side-eye his claims that he wasn’t told, because the signs were very, very obvious in both situations.)

Delta Landscaping | Chapter 13: Pike's Place
Tumblr media
Series Summary: In this AU, the boys of Delta Force start a new business post-Colombia. 
Series Masterlist | Chapter 13 A03 Link
Word Count: 6.6k
Previously on As the Mule Falls: The Miller brothers had a heart-to-heart. Tio Frankie left Dallas and made his way back to Tampa by way of Atlanta (and met someone on his flight). The Neighborhood Watch descended upon a skating rink for some Star Wars-themed birthday fun. Frankie had to leave a little early for…reasons. 
In this Episode: Benny gets an earful from Cousin Joel. There’s a full house at the gym to help train Benny. The neighbors set up another party - cue a Neighborhood Watch group chat. The Pikes close on their house and move in. Obligatory corgi scene. Benny gets a bit flustered as we meet someone new.
Chapter Warnings: Marcus Pike comes with his own warnings - we get domestic!Marcus, dad!Marcus, wingman!Marcus, supportive brother-in-law!Marcus. (Can you tell I have a soft spot for him). Cousin Joel makes a cameo. A little flustered and shy Benny along with a distracted Fish. David being David. A few Spanish phrases are scattered throughout. While I try and keep all of the OCs somewhat neutral regarding physical descriptions (I’m still learning, so I’m not always good at this!), a new OFC will be described more specifically (especially in episodes to come). Two characters have V names. Marcus’ wife’s name is Victoria. Her sister’s name is Vanessa.
*Cue the theme music and roll opening credits*
Sunday
Will had just poured himself a cup of coffee when he heard a soft knock at the door. He wasn’t expecting anyone over so early. Benny was still sleeping and it was too early for Santiago and Frankie to show up. He thought maybe it was Lucille stopping by with some treats, so he padded over to the front door, pulling a T-shirt over his head on the way.
When he opened the door, he saw Olivia with Diana balancing on her hip as she held a couple of gift bags in her hand.
“Hi Will, sorry I didn’t interrupt anything did I?” She smiled, trying to be discreet as she looked past Will and into the house.
Will cleared his throat, “Ah, no…just me. Hey there, princess,” he brought his thumb up to rub Diana’s cheek, eliciting a little giggle from the toddler. 
“Oh ok. Sorry, I don’t mean to disturb you. I kind of forget that other people aren’t up at like 5 in the morning every day like me,” she laughed softly. “Um, anyway, I meant to give you boys these,” she handed the bags to Will. 
“You didn’t have to get us anything, Liv. Thank you,” Will smiled as he looked through the bag of Star Wars-themed party favors, including some Lego mini-figures, stickers, and candy.
“You’re welcome. Don’t tell David, but I snuck a little something extra into your bag,” she winked.
He tilted his head to the side and peeked back into the bag, pulling out a couple of Polaroids. One was a candid of the four guys, laughing and having a good time. A small smile came over Will’s face; it had been so long since the guys all looked so carefree. The second photo was of Will with his arm around Katie’s shoulder. He looked at her as she threw her head back in laughter at Benny who was mid-story.
“Thanks, Liv, this was nice of you to bring over.” He murmured as he looked at the photos, his eyes crinkling as his smile grew wider.
Olivia regarded him for a moment, wanting to say more but also didn’t want to pry. “Well, I’ll leave you. I have to go deliver a few more of these. Got any fun plans for today?”
“Nah, just hanging out probably. I don’t know how you do it, Liv. I’m worn out from yesterday. You’re a superhero,” he laughed.
“I have my days, don’t let the cuteness fool you,” she motioned down to Diana, who played with her pacifier. “Say hi to the boys for me.”
“You girls have fun delivering your goodie bags,” he winked at Diana.
As he walked back to the kitchen to microwave his now lukewarm coffee, he plopped the gift bags on the counter. He pulled out the two Polaroids, looking at them before grabbing a couple of magnets and placing them on the refrigerator. 
Tumblr media
Monday
“What do you mean you signed up for a fight?” Joel demanded, the tension in his voice palpable.
Benny winced, pulling the phone away from his ear before putting it back, “I…I just kind of did it on a whim,” he said weakly like a little kid being scolded. “Besides, it’s too late to get out of it now since we’re only a few weeks away.”
He paced around his kitchen, chewing his thumb as Joel continued to lay into him for making such a rash decision. After a while, Joel calmed down.
“Bean,” Joel sighed, “I wish you wouldn’t do this shit anymore, man.”
“Yeah. Sorry, I was just…mad and I wasn’t thinking and one thing led to another and I called Herb and here we are.”
Joel paused for a moment. “When’s the fight?”
“Middle of next month.”
“The actual date Bean, when is it?” Joel asked tersely. 
“Um…I think…hold on lemme go to the calendar, Will wrote it down,” Benny trailed off as he walked toward the refrigerator and flipped the calendar to the following month. “Why?”
“If I can swing it I’ll come.”
Benny stopped, a big smile coming across his face. “Wait, really? Y-You don’t have to do that man.”
“I’m not making any promises, we got a shit ton of deadlines and I’m waitin' on these goddamn permits to go through.” Joel pinched the bridge of his nose. 
“Oh ok, sure…no, I get it.” Benny replied flatly, he didn’t want to get too excited about the prospect of Joel visiting. He couldn’t remember the last time Joel went on a vacation so he was tempering his expectations. 
Benny proceeded to throw out a bunch of dates, explaining his training schedule and what his plan was before Joel cut him off.
“Hey Bean - look I gotta go, I just got to the site. Send me a picture of the calendar so I can see all the shit you just spouted off. I’m not gonna remember everything you just said.”
“Yeah, you got it. Hold on…ok sending it right now. Hey J, no pressure or anything man, I know you have Sarah, but I’d really like it if you came.”
“I know Bean, I’ll try. Talk to you later, bud.” 
Joel hung up the phone as a text message came through. He opened the photo and zoomed in, cursing the fact that part of him knew he needed to get glasses. Rather than look at the calendar, his eyes were drawn to a photo stuck to a magnet on the refrigerator. Pinching the photo to further inspect it, the shadow of a smile came across his face.
Tumblr media
“Where’s Fish, I thought he was supposed to meet us here,” Will looked over at Santiago as he, Benny, and Connor got out of Will's Jeep and walked up to the gym. 
Santiago shook his head and shrugged. “He’ll be here.”
“I thought he was usually done with his meetings by now, that’s why we picked this time. He’s good, right?” Will furrowed his brows.
“Yeah, isn’t it coming up on a year?” Benny followed up.
“Oh shit, you’re right,” Santiago brought his palm to his forehead. “Fuck…yeah it’s next week, we’ll have to figure out something to do for him. But no he’s all good. I promise I heard from him yesterday, briefly. Turns out that girl he met doesn’t live here. She was here for the weekend and flying back this morning.”
“So he’s going to be in a real great mood then huh,” Benny scoffed as he adjusted the strap of his gym bag on his shoulder. 
“Don’t worry about him, he’ll be fine. He knows you need him. Plus, this will be a good distraction because otherwise, he’ll be in a pissy mood,” Will reassured his brother.
“Yeah and none of us want to be around a pissy Fish,” Santiago smirked. “You ready to go bud?” Santiago looked over to Connor, grabbing his shoulder.
“Yeah, happy to help however I can.”
Tumblr media
David: Goooood morning! Anyone down for a 4th of July pool party tomorrow?
Megan: You offering? Have you asked Ty already?
Ty: Yes. All good. Figured we could do something kind of small. 
David: And we HAVE to invite the guys. It’s a pool party after all. Need to see some wet Frankie hair again 🫠
Olivia: 😂
Katie: OMG David. 
David: Oh come on, like you’re one to talk. Will in trunks isn’t too bad either. Hell, all of them. Alexa: Add one of each to my cart.
Ty: After the twins’ party I think I’m now Team Santiago 😉
Melissa: I can bring food, just tell me what I should plan for.
David: Damn ok. Wasn’t quite ready for logistics yet…I was still thirsty buuuuut anyway. I’ll shoot you guys over my thoughts later. I need to sit with my mood board for a bit.
Megan: It’s a Fourth of July party - isn’t that enough of a mood?
Ty: you know who you’re talking to right? 🙄
Lucille: Count on me to make whatever you want.
David: Love you Lulu ♥️ Katie - you’re in charge of texting Will so he can tell the guys.
Olivia: Why don’t we just add them to the group chat?
David: ARE YOU CRAZY?! This is my safe space.
Tumblr media
Marcus was beaming as he bounced Mariella on his lap and watched Victoria sign the last in the giant stack of papers. 
“Well, Victoria….Marcus, congratulations, you’re the proud owners of 306 Mule Fall Court,” Ethan smiled as he got up and shook hands with the couple, giving Nicolas a high five. “
Once Ethan handed over the keys, the family posed for a quick photo for his Instagram and then made their way to their SUV. Marcus unlocked the doors as Nicolas hopped in, grabbing his tablet so he could go back to playing his game. Meanwhile, Victoria worked on buckling Mariella into her car seat. She handed the toddler her milk bottle and closed the door, surprised Marcus was right behind her.
“Baby, you can’t sneak up on me like that,” she smiled as Marcus cupped her cheek and leaned in for a kiss.
“Congratulations Mrs. Pike, you finally have your dream house,” he smiled against her lips, his thumb rubbing her cheek. 
“Hmm..well, Special Agent Pike,” she wrapped her arms around Marcus’ neck. “Our first night in the house is going to be a little bit different than our first place, huh?” She winked. 
Marcus chuckled, reminiscing about their first apartment together and the rather eventful night they had christening their first shared space. “Vanessa can’t get here soon enough so she can watch the kids, I need to take you out on a date. Speaking of, when is she getting in?”
“She texted she’s only a few hours away. Hey tomorrow, I figured we could maybe do a barbecue or something since we won’t have much of the kitchen stuff unpacked.” The corners of her mouth curled up as Marcus rolled his eyes and shook his head. 
“I guess that means getting the barbecue set up is among my first orders of business today then, huh?”
“Yes, and our bed,” she winked and then froze as she realized where she was. “The kids…fuck…the kids…it’s so hot Marcus, get in and blast the AC,” she abruptly turned around and opened the door as Marcus ran to the other side of the SUV to turn it on.
Tumblr media
Katie was walking back to her office with her second coffee of the day. She figured now was as good a time as any to text Will and see if he and the guys wanted to go to David and Ty’s party. 
Katie: Hey! You boys have plans for the 4th?
Will: No, not really.
Katie: No?! Figured it was a big day for you all.
Will: It’s a complicated day.
Katie furrowed her brows at Will’s responses. He was normally curt, but he seemed especially abrupt.
Katie: Oh ok. Well, David is having people over and you guys were my responsibility on the phone tree to invite.
Will: Nice, ok yeah. I’ll check with the guys in a bit and get back to you? We’re at the gym.
She breathed a bit of a sigh of relief but chastised herself for not stopping to think that he may actually be busy.
Katie: Yeah sounds good.
Will: Get back to work Kat 😉
Tumblr media
Frankie rolled into the gym about an hour late, having missed all of the cardio and weights.
“There he is!” Santiago clapped his hands as Frankie walked towards the ring. He came in for handshakes and hugs with all of the guys, including Connor.
“You good Fish?” Benny cocked his head to the side, taking in how Frankie’s smile didn’t reach his eyes.
Frankie cleared his throat, pulling his hat off and running his hair through his curls. “Yeah man, I’m good. Are you?”
“He’s better now that you’re here, Fish,” Will clapped his brother on the shoulder. “Now the fun begins!”
“Yeah, let’s do it,” Frankie went to put on some sparring gloves, not seeing the looks all of the guys exchanged. They were all walking a bit on eggshells trying to gauge Frankie’s mood. 
It turned out that sparring with Benny was exactly what Frankie needed; he was able to get out some of his frustration while giving Benny a worthy opponent. 
“C’mon Ben, you have to try and dodge me. The guy is going to be walking all over you if you don’t pick up your feet,” Frankie panted as he ducked around Benny’s punches. 
“Atta boy Benny, show that old man what’s up!” Santiago yelled with a cupped hand around his mouth.
“Fuck off Pope, I want to see your ass in here,” Frankie muttered, rolling his eyes.
“Can’t, doctor’s orders,” he called back, looking over to Connor with a wink. “Couple of neck surgeries and shit knees,” he tilted his head forward, showing off his scar.
“Aka he’s old,” Will smirked as Connor stifled a snort. 
Meanwhile, Benny locked in a decent combination, pinning Frankie to the ropes as he tapped out. 
“Good, Ben. Wanna take a break?” Franke huffed. 
Benny nodded and he and Frankie took off their gloves, sitting on the side of the ring as the other guys brought them water.
“Oh, since we’re all here,” Will started, “Katie said there was some Fourth of July party tomorrow. We’re all invited.”
Benny, Frankie, and Santiago looked between each other and then back to Will.
“D-do you guys not celebrate the Fourth?” Connor asked.
“It’s…” Benny started.
“Complicated,” Santiago finished as Frankie pointed towards him in agreement.
“Oh, so you guys don’t want like … a lot of attention or whatever?” Connor looked between the four men. “If it makes you feel any better, it’s really more of a pool party than anything else. Ever since that one year, Ty won’t let David shoot off fireworks,” he chuckled to himself.
“Are there…uh…other people who set off fireworks in the neighborhood?” Will crossed his arms in front of him as Benny side-eyed him.
‘Uh, yeah. I think Aria’s neighbors are the ones who do it now…but they live a few streets over.”
“But it’s still probably loud huh?” Frankie mirrored Will’s body language as he looked over at his friend.
Connor straightened up, sensing the tension coming off from the guys, especially Will. He was unsure what to say, not wanting to upset them.
“Ironhead isn’t one for loud noises, hell, none of us are any more,” Santiago spoke up, seeing Connor slightly relax.
“Oh, I hear ya. Ms. Olivia always gets mad because the twins get woken up….I dunno my mom and her always end up talking about it and reading what people are saying on Facebook,” he laughed. “I can ask Mom if she knows if anyone’s going to do fireworks. That way you guys know?” 
“That’s nice of you man,” Benny brought the boy in for a half hug. “We may decide to leave a little early but I think we’re all down for a pool party aren’t we boys?” He looked around and saw them all reluctantly nod. “Well that settles it,” he smiled.
“Alright Ben, let’s get back to it, you’re not done,” Frankie slapped Benny across the chest and then motioned toward the weights.
As Benny, Will and Connor made their way over, Santiago quietly pulled Frankie to the side. “Everything good hermano?” 
“I’m ok,” Frankie muttered as he took the tape off his hands. 
“You gonna see your girl again? Or was it just a weekend thing?” He brief smirk quickly replaced by a look of concern. “Sorry, Fish.”
Frankie sighed, “All good man. I’m going to see her again…at least I hope I can see her again. We uh…didn’t really talk a lot about it,” he let out a soft chuckle, rustling with the back of his hair where it poked out from his cap.
“Ah mano, I’m sure you didn’t,” Santiago winked, eliciting a reluctant smile from Frankie. “You don’t have to tell me all about it now. But seriously, how long’s it been? I figured after finally getting some you’d be less of a dick.” He dodged a playful punch from Frankie, who got him into a headlock.
Tumblr media
“Nico, can you help me with that box?” Marcus pointed to the trunk of his SUV as his son eagerly nodded.
“Dada, I big helper too,” Mariella waddled over making grabby hands up at Marcus’ knees for him to pick her up.
“Ah muñeca, yes, you are a big helper too, here,” he handed the little girl an empty plastic bag which she happily took as she trotted up the driveway to her mother.
“Mama I’m a big helper!”
“Wow! Look at that!” Victoria smiled as the family worked on emptying the SUV with their first round of belongings. “Babe, when’s the moving truck getting here?”
“Should be any minute now,” Marcus checked his phone.
“Doggie!!” Mariella yelled as she started running down the driveway, with Nico on her heels.
“Hey, hey, be careful,” Marcus chased after them, scooping his daughter up and redirecting Nico away from the sidewalk as a woman and her corgi approached. “Sorry about that! They both love animals,” he called over.
“Oh, it’s ok! He’s friendly if they want to say hi,” she smiled, motioning down to her dog. 
Marcus walked down the driveway with Mariella on his hip and Nico holding his hand.
“This is Bucky, say hi Bucky,” she looked down at the dog who excitedly looked between all of the new people. “I’m Megan by the way….I live a few doors down, the one with the basketball hoop,” she motioned over her shoulder.
“I’m Marcus,” he reached out to shake her hand. “This is Mariella and Nico…my wife Victoria,” he nodded behind him as Victoria made her way down the driveway.
“Hi! Are you one of our neighbors?” Victoria asked with a warm smile. 
“Yeah, I’m kind of the unofficial welcome wagon,” Megan chuckled as Bucky looked up at her and whined. “You too buddy, you’re part of the committee too,” she winked at the couple. “Sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt you all if you’re moving in. I’m sure you have your hands full.”
“Oh it’s ok, we’re waiting on the moving truck, and then my sister,” Victoria said as she reached down to pet Bucky, who rolled over on his back as the kids giggled.
“He hates attention as you can tell,” Megan laughed. “Hey, I know it’s probably a lot and you may already have plans, but we’re having a Fourth of July barbecue tomorrow if you all want to come. All the neighbors will be there. We just had some guys move in a few weeks ago, they’ll love to no longer be the new kids on the block,” she winked.
“That’s so nice of you, thank you,” Victoria smiled. 
“Yeah, here let me get your number,” Megan pulled out her phone and handed it to Victoria who eagerly entered her contact information.
Tumblr media
“Hey, I'm thinking we can get started on Melissa and Danny's backyard the day after tomorrow. I wanted to swing by Home Depot, get a few things, and drop it off so we can just get started right away on Wednesday. Anyone wanna come with?” Santiago asked the group as they were walking out. Frankie was busy checking his phone and not paying attention.
“I, uh, I should get home. I told Lulu I'd help her with some stuff … I'm getting lunch out of it,” Connor chuckled.
“Damn, don't go eating all of the empanadas, she said she'd save some for me. And she probably made something special for you now that you’re back, Fish,” Benny laughed, his face scrunching up when Frankie ignored him. “Fish?”
Frankie looked up from his phone, “Hmm? Oh … ah yeah…sure,” he gave a tight smile.
Will furrowed his brows, looking away from Frankie and focusing his attention on Connor. “How about I drive you home and these three can head to Home Depot? It'll be easier probably with your truck Fish.”
“Hmm, sure yeah that's fine.” Frankie’s lips twitched as he checked his phone again.
“Okay,” Santiago cut in, trying to cover for the fact that Frankie was clearly distracted and had his mind elsewhere. “That settles it, see you back at the house Will.”
Tumblr media
“Babe, I think Santi and the boys are going to drop off some stuff … you going to be around?” Melissa walked into the living room, putting on her earrings as Danny played a video game.
“Uh ok, cool,” he paused the game. “You not gonna be here?”
“No, I…uh…I have to go grocery shopping for tomorrow. I told David I’d bring something.”
“Ooo nice, what did you decide on?”
“Ah, I don’t know yet. I figured I’d go to the store and see what speaks to me.” 
“Any instructions I need to know for the guys?”
“Nope, they should be outta here before you know it,” she walked over to the kitchen counter to grab her crossbody and keys. “I’ll be back, love you!” 
Tumblr media
“Ok. Hold tight, let me go check and see where she wants the stuff,” Santiago instructed as he jumped out of Frankie’s truck and bounded up the driveway.
“Looks like the neighbors are finally moving in,” Benny observed, looking at the passenger side window.
He recognized the family from the other day. The husband held onto a little girl while a little boy played with a plastic golf club set. He spotted the wife coming out of the house with one of the movers. 
“Yeah, that moved pretty fast, huh?” Frankie responded absentmindedly as he tapped on his phone.
“Fish, look, I don’t wanna pry or anything….but is everything ok? I've never seen you on your phone this much and it’s kinda weirding me out,” he laughed.
Frankie put his phone in his lap and took a deep breath. “I ah…I kinda met somebody,” Frankie looked up sheepishly.
“Well, that’s obvious Fish,” Benny smirked.
“It’s moving kinda fast,” Frankie twirled the curls sticking out of the back of his hat.
“It’s ok, fast can be good…well…not in some cases, but you know what I mean,” Benny snorted as Frankie groaned.
Santiago tapped on the passenger side window, motioning to Benny to roll it down. “We just missed Melissa apparently, but Danny’s gonna open the gate to the backyard and we can just set everything back out by the shed. We’ll figure it out later.” 
“Sweet. Let’s get to work, I wanna get home and take a shower” Benny clapped his hands, getting out of the car and waving to Danny. “Hey, man!”
“What’s going on guys? Lemme go open the gate real quick and I can come help!” Danny held up a key as he walked to the side of the house.
“All good man, take your time,” Santiago shouted back as he unlocked the bed of Frankie’s truck.
The guys started unloading a few things and followed Danny into the backyard, missing the arrival of another black SUV at 306 Mulefall Court.
Tumblr media
“Tia Nessa!! Papa! Tia Nessa is here!” Nicolas’ face lit up as he saw his Tia Vanessa park and get out of her car. She placed her sunglasses on her head and opened her arms up for a hug.
“Oye mi corazón!” Vanessa knelt on the ground, bringing her nephew in for a tight hug. “Ah, I missed you. Everything going ok? You helping your mama y papa?”
“Si, Tia Nessa, I’m helping,” he smiled back, “I’m really strong…look,” he flexed.
“Ay dios mio, wow!” She laughed before turning her attention to her little niece. “Oh! Look at you walking mi chiquitita!” she clapped her hands as Mariella made her way over. She picked the little girl up and twirled her around.
“Hey Vandy,” Marcus greeted her with a warm smile followed by a hug and a kiss on the cheek. “I’m glad you’re here.”
“Thanks, Buck, happy to be here,” she smiled, rubbing his arm with a tight smile. Even before he was “officially” her brother by marriage, Vanessa always had a soft spot for Marcus, the two sharing a sweet, unspoken bond. 
“I like your hair…in the light it looks…purple?” He reached towards the end of the hair sticking out of her claw clip.
“Thanks, had a bit of a crisis so I dyed it,” she chuckled. “Look at yours! I don’t think I’ve seen your hair this long in a while! And with this scruff?! Vic must be losing her mind,” she winked.
“Ha,” a slight flush washed over his face as he cleared his throat. “I’m gonna need you to take care of this before I go back to work on Wednesday,” he said as his hand ruffled through his curls.
“Please don’t cut it too short,” Victoria walked up with a pout before embracing her little sister with a tight hug and a huge smile plastered across her face.
“We won’t go as short as normal, right Buck?” Vanessa winked. “Just shape it up a bit.”
“Ah, I am so excited you’re here!” Victoria squeaked. She was about to bombard her sister with questions about the drive and what she packed, but she got distracted by some movement in the yard next door. “Oh, hi!” She waved at the group of men making their way towards a green pickup truck in the neighbor’s driveway.
Vanessa followed her sister’s gaze, checking out the group. She took a particular interest in the taller man in the bunch. He had a black backward baseball cap on and a T-shirt that fit snugly around his biceps. Their eyes locked briefly and she sucked in a breath as he gave her a lopsided smile. She then noticed his soft, kind eyes that were the prettiest shade of blue. She heard one of the other guys exchanging pleasantries with Marcus, who had walked over to greet the group.
“Damn, I didn’t realize the landscapers were gonna be so hot,” Vanessa whispered to her sister with a smirk. “You have any projects planned?”
“They aren’t landscapers,” Victoria laughed and pulled her sister close as she gave her the rundown of the men. “And the one in the black hat? That’s Benny. He lives a few houses down with his brother...who I don't see.” She side-eyed her sister, who was absentmindedly biting her lower lip as she watched Benny and the rest of the guys chat with Marcus. “Want me to go introduce you?” she waggled her eyebrows, playfully bumping Vanessa in the shoulder.
“No, Vic. Don’t make it weird,” she turned to face her sister. “We have unpacking to do and I am desperate for you to show me around this beautiful house!” 
“I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to help you unpack a box or two,” Victoria smirked.
Vanessa rolled her eyes and knelt to get to eye level with her nephew, “Nico, you wanna help me get some stuff out of my car and then show me your room?”
“Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” Nicolas jumped up and down, running over to Vanessa’s SUV as Marcus walked back over to his lawn.
Tumblr media
“That must be the sister,” Santiago motioned over with his eyes as the guys grabbed another load from the back of the truck. 
Frankie noticed Benny try and steal glances behind him. “She’s pretty,” Frankie commented, looking Benny up and down trying to gauge a reaction. 
Benny nodded and cleared his throat before hopping up onto the bed of the truck to continue unloading. His eyes looked past Frankie, finding hers once again from a distance. It had been so long since he’d approached a woman and he felt uncharacteristically nervous. He shook his head to collect himself before jumping down from Frankie’s truck to help Santiago carry a bag of soil.
As they walked up the driveway, his eyes quickly cut over just in time to see her leaning into the backseat of her SUV to grab something. She was wearing workout pants and an oversized T-shirt and her hair was casually up in a clip. Benny’s eyes trailed down her body, lingering for a moment on her ass as she bent down. He felt his pulse quicken a little bit, a thrill he hadn’t experienced in a while.
“You into girls with dark hair now?” Santiago chimed in, pulling Benny’s attention.
“What?” Benny cleared his throat, his brows furrowed as he regarded a smug Santiago.
“Just an observation. She’s not your usual type.” He used his lips to point back towards the driveway next door. 
“What? I…uh…” Benny tried to play it off with a laugh, but Santiago exchanged a knowing look with Frankie.
Tumblr media
“Psst, ven aquí,” Victoria whispered to her sister as her husband and son went upstairs to drop off some of the bags from Vanessa’s car. 
“What’s up?” 
“He’s hot, right?” Victoria asked with a smirk.
Vanessa furrowed her brows, “who?”
“Benny, silly. C’mon, you have to admit he’s like super hot, right?” 
“I didn’t realize you were looking, hermana. I figured out of all of them you’d be most interested in the curly-haired one in the hat who kinda looks like Marcus ow-!” Vanessa laughed as her sister playfully slapped her arm. 
“You know what I meant tonta.”
“Don’t give me that look,” Vanessa narrowed her eyes.
“I’m not giving you a look. I’m just surprised. He’s not your usual type is all.”
“Who’s not who’s type?” Marcus asked as he came around the corner.
“Nothing. It’s nothing. C’mon, there’s still a bunch of stuff in the trunk,” Vanessa turned on her heels as Marcus winked at his wife.
“Meddling already and I just got here,” Vanessa muttered to herself as she walked back outside to her car, stepping over some of the toys scattered on the front lawn. When she reached her car, she took a deep breath and collected herself as she waited for her trunk to open.
Moving in with her sister and brother-in-law wasn’t something she had on her mid-30s bingo card, but here she was. She was grateful to them for their generosity, even though it still made her feel inadequate and a bit like a charity case. For the past six months, she felt like she was floundering and was hopeful a change of scenery could give her the reset she so desperately wanted.
She stacked a couple of boxes, struggling a bit to carry them but she was determined to not drop them – especially since she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of the guys next door. Her mind was elsewhere as she walked up the driveway, cutting up into the lawn as her foot caught something. Then, everything felt like it was happening in slow motion.
Tumblr media
“You gonna keep staring or are you gonna go and say hi?” Santiago peered over to Benny as he watched the woman walk back to her car. “She’s clearly going to be a neighbor, welcome her to the neighborhood,” he waggled his eyebrows as Benny shook his head and averted his eyes.
“Nervous to go talk to a girl? This is unlike you Benjamin,” Frankie smirked as Santiago snorted.
“Ha ha very funny,” Benny rolled his eyes, taking a deep breath and looking as she struggled with a couple of boxes she had stacked on top of each other.
His hands twitched, wanting to run over there and help her, but he also didn’t want to offend. Thanks to his ex, he second-guessed everything. Benny’s eyes again raked down her body as she walked with the boxes stacked high; he smiled to himself to see her determination. And then, it felt like everything stopped and happened in slow motion. 
She didn’t notice the golf club lying haphazardly in her path. Her shoe caught it and Benny instinctively took off in her direction, knowing he was too far to do anything. She stumbled, unable to recover her footing, and fell forward as the boxes tumbled, scattering their contents onto the lawn. 
Tumblr media
“Vandy!” Marcus shouted as he ran out the front door. 
“Fuck,” she muttered to herself as she got to her hands and knees, hoping that no one else saw her fall. Then she heard a couple of heavy footsteps running up the driveway.
“Are you ok?” She heard an unfamiliar deep voice, noticing the Southern drawl.
She turned her head to see the man with the black cap towering over her. His eyebrows were knitted with concern as he bent down, offering his hand so she could stand up.
“Uh, y-yeah,” she gave a weak smile, mesmerized that his eyes were even more beautiful up close than they were from a distance. When he smiled at her, she felt her knees go weak, it was a miracle she was able to stand. “I…um…I’m usually not so clumsy,” she laughed nervously pausing when she looked down to see he was still holding her hand.
“Vandy, are you alright?” Marcus ran up in a huff and brought his hands to her shoulders to steady her. 
Benny dropped her hand and ran it down his mouth and across his jaw, finally resting it on his neck as he watched.
“Yeah, I’m ok, just startled me more than anything,” she reassured her brother-in-law. 
“Sorry, Nico had stuff everywhere, I should have had him put it all away…”
“Buck, it’s ok. I’m ok,” she smiled.
“Here, let me help y’all pick this stuff up,” Benny cut in, realizing he was just awkwardly standing there. He bent down to start collecting the items which consisted of a lot of knick knacks. 
“Oh, you don’t have to do that,” Vanessa crouched down, embarrassed that the man is getting to see her Funko pop collection scattered across the lawn. But he was working so quickly to help that it brought a smile to her face.
Marcus observed this encounter with a smirk. It had been so long since he’d seen her smile like that and he was amused, even though he knew Victoria would chastise him for gawking. 
“Here, I can take this in for you,” Benny smiled as he picked up one of the newly repacked boxes
“Uh, t-thank you…”
“Benny. I’m Benny,” he smiled and Vanessa felt the butterflies erupting in her stomach.
“Vanessa.” Her eyes locked on his and she thought she saw the faintest blush coming across his face.
“Benny lives down the street Vandy, with his brother Will,” Marcus chimed in.
“Oh, nice,” she smiled tightly, hoping that Marcus wouldn’t make it awkward but she saw that glimmer in his eye. Bless him, he tried over the years to set her up with friends but it never quite worked out.
Benny cleared his throat, “Yeah, we’re just down that way,” he motioned down the street with his chin. 
Benny and Vanessa stayed looking at each other like time stood still. Neither was sure when they last took a breath.
Marcus, meanwhile, happily played the bystander watching the back and forth like it was a tennis match. When he realized neither of them was going to say anything, he cleared his throat. “So, Vandy you gonna keep us standing here holding your stuff or are we heading in,” he smirked.
“Shit, yeah, sorry. Ah, here I can take that.” She motioned to the box but Benny pulled it back.
“Nuh uh, I”ll take it. Lead the way boss lady,” Benny winked letting her walk in front. He couldn’t help how his eyes swept down her body and as he was admiring her ass his view was blocked by Marcus who stepped in front of him with a smile. Benny cleared his throat and got in line behind him.
“I was wondering where you all we-,” Victoria’s eyes widened as she saw her sister and husband walk back into the house followed by Benny. She crossed her arms and rested her weight on one foot, ‘Wow Benny, you’re just a jack of all trades aren’t you,” she winked as Benny laughed.
“Here Benny, it’s up this way,” Marcus nodded for Benny to follow him upstairs. 
Vanessa winced as she rubbed her knee, thankful she fell on grass and not the pavement. “You fell? Are you ok? Let me grab my kit real quick…” Victoria trailed off.
“Calm down Nightengale, I just tripped on the lawn,” Vanessa rolled her eyes, straightening up when her sister gave her that look. “Ok, I fell. But it’s not a big deal. I’m more embarrassed than anything.”
“So you pulled the whole damsel in distress thing to get Benny to come over, huh?” She waggled her eyebrows.
“You and I both know I’m not coordinated enough to pull that off…clearly,” Vanessa chuckled. 
Just then the sisters heard some laughter coming from the staircase as Marcus and Benny walked down the steps.
“Got another load or two maybe, you good to help?” Marcus looked over his shoulder.
“Oh you really don’t have to do that,” Vanessa started to follow before Victoria grabbed her by the arm.
“Can you stop? Let him help you.”
“I can do it myself,” Vanessa huffed.
“I know you can, but accept the help sometimes,” the deeper meaning behind the words was not lost on either sister.
A few moments later, there was laughter and commotion at the door as Marcus came back through with Benny and some additional helpers.
“Got the whole thing unpacked, Vandy. Look at how fast that was thanks to our neighbors,” Marcus winked as he made his way up the stairs. Benny was right behind and gave her a shy smile as he walked by.
A good looking shorter man with curly hair was next. He had an air of confidence and seemed like the kind of guy who would coax you into bad decisions. “Hi, I’m Santi…that’s Frankie,” he nodded behind him. The man with the baseball cap smiled as he followed the group upstairs.
When they were alone, Victoria snorted, trying to contain her laughter.
“Stop it,” Vanessa rolled her eyes. 
“Ok ok, I won’t say anything,” Victoria smirked. “But, how are you thinking of repaying him for his kindness ow-” she ducked as Vanessa threw a cleaning rag her way with a laugh.
“Uh oh, that can only mean trouble,” Marcus called down as heavy footsteps made their way down the stairs. “Can’t leave those two alone,” he winked at Benny.
“This is a beautiful house,” Santiago remarked, taking a look around.
“Thanks, I’m excited to make it ours,” Victoria walked over to Marcus, wrapping her arm around his waist and looking up at him like he personally hung the moon in the sky.  
Santiago looked at Benny, who readjusted his hat, looking down at the ground nervously. “You all coming to the party tomorrow?” 
Vanessa looked at her sister and brother-in-law with a confused look. “You guys have been here a couple of hours and are already getting invited to parties. Wow, that’s a record,” she smirked.
Benny snorted, his eyes meeting hers.
Victoria ignored her sister’s quip and looked at Santiago, “We’ll all be there. Will you?”
“Yup, we’ll be there, won’t we Benny?”
Benny cleared his throat, “Ah y-yeah, should be fun!” 
“It’s a…um…pool party,” Frankie offered, gesturing towards Nicolas who had just walked into the kitchen with his little sister holding his hand.
“Pool party?! Yeaaahh!” The little boy cheered as everyone laughed.
“Well, we look forward to it. Should be a grand ol’ time,” Marcus smirked.
Tumblr media
Next Time on As the Mule Falls: We are headed to another neighborhood party - when you have David as your defacto neighborhood social director, expect lots of fun. The boys have some complicated feelings about being the center of attention because of the holiday. Prepare for some Will angst, some Pike smut, and more cuteness with Benny and Vanessa.
A/N: We’ve got a lot of storylines cooking now! In case you missed it, I made a Delta Landscaping Bingo card to keep track of all of the PPCU character references. Based on the plans I have for this series so far, you can make a “bingo” three ways. Not to add additional reading, but my little Frankie series Turbulence gives a bit more insight into what he was up to over the weekend. There is a part 4 coming out soon and after that the story will be weaved into DL. I’ve got a few other surprises up my sleeve 😉
Thank you so much for reading and supporting this story. 
I forgot to post a chapter mood board earlier this week, so here it is...

Broken-hearted
character(s) : Claude de Alger Obelia
manhwa : who made me a princess
A/N: I'm finally continuing the fic TT" it was a long wait, but whatever. Here's the second part of Nostalgia!
I : A troublesome meet | II : Broken-hearted | III
Tumblr media
She failed. Failing to be a good friend to Claude. Now she was sent away to from the castle, after an argument of his playboy attitude.
The bastard kept bringing in women to his room, letting them pleasure himself.
This concerned her, which was the reason why she had spoken to him about it.
The only thing he said of the matter was that she was not the boss of him. After trying to persuade him to leave that decision behind, he sent her away back to the comfort of her abandoned home.
Her family had fallen apart right after her parents died, leaving her alone in a house filled with servants who did not care much for the daughter their masters had left behind.
Another year passed quickly. She heard that His Majesty found a wife. This made her feel relieved, perhaps there was hope for him after all.
"Good morning, my lady." Felix Robane bowed. "Welcome back."
"Felix!" Name could not hide her smile. She missed the knight who worried about her all the time. After hugging him too tightly, she let go laughing at his reaction. "It is great to see you!"
"Likewise, my lady-" "Oh for goodness' sake, Felix call me by my first name." Her tone was playful, but it made Felix look guilty.
"I'm sorry." "I was joking, call me whatever!" She laughed again, seeing that the knight seemed to be confused on what to say anymore. "Where is he and how is he?"
"His Majesty is alright." Waiting for him to say more, she was dumbfounded that Felix would not talk about him.
"Is there something wrong?" She blinked in question.
"Well.." Felix cleared his throat. "Nevermind let's just get you to Lady Diana!"
She had heard of the female. Born and raised in Siodonna, and managed to catch the emperor's eye! She must be a lovely person. "Alright." Although there was a slight feeling of hurt when she learned that Claude had fallen in love. The feeling was replaced with joy for him.
Lady Diana was truly a kind person. Always so cheerful, she seemed the optimistic kind. Not only was she kind, she was also very beautiful. Name looked at her in awe.
The two became attached right away which shocked everyone a little.
She never did see Claude in all of her visits. It never occurred to her to be strange since he was probably busy so she let it slide.
After a while, Diana had asked for her to have tea together. As it turned out she was pregnant with Claude's child. She was overjoyed and so was Name. She was going to be an aunt!
But, then came the bad news. Diana would die during the birth. Apparently this news had caused Claude to completely shut himself out. Leaving everyone to care for Diana until childbirth. He even went as far as telling Diana to kill the baby, but Diana said the baby should be born even if she died from it.
Name was there in Claude's place when Diana gave birth to the baby girl. "Athanasia..." Diana whispered, barely getting the words out of her mouth. "That's her name." She handed the child to Name, who as she blinked back her tears, carried the baby.
"Diana..." She choked out, tears streaming. "Hang on..." Diana smiled at her weakly.
"Name, take care of her okay?" Diana took Name's hand. "Raise her like your own.." She looked tired. Too tired. Name knew there was no more time.
"I promise." She whispered as she squeezed Diana's hand. "I promise.." She murmured again, as Diana took her last few breaths.
"I'm tired..." "Then rest, you deserve it." Name smiled, sadly at her friend as she shut her eyes. An exhale was heard and there was silence.
Tears came out of her eyes, holding Athanasia carefully she mourned for the loss of Diana. Lily stood there, taking Athanasia from the crying female to aid her.
She heard movement out in the corridor.
Claude.
Lily noticed this movement and took her hand. They had to hide.
---
Two years passed after the night of terror happened. Lily had begged Claude to let her take care of his child which thankfully worked out well, but the news of the massacre that occurred in that palace was heard all over the kingdom. This caused concern between reasons on why it happened yet no one questioned the silence they received.
As for Athanasia, she was now being taken care of by Lily as well as Name herself to ensure that she will be safe from her father's wrath.
"Hello, Athy!" Name said, giggling as the toddler came running to her. Athy and her were as close as she had been with both Claude and Diana.
"Hello, Name! Did you bring me chocolate?" A pout appearing in the child's lips when Name shook her head.
"Not today, darling." Patting her head, she walked into the Athy's room. It seemed she had been playing. "I did bring you a gift though it isn't something sweet, it's still a gift." Athy gasped happily as she walked to Name, who was making herself comfortable on a lounge.
Taking out a box, she opened it revealing a few pretty hair accessories of different colors. "It's for your hair, isn't it pretty?" Name said, watching as Athy took one. "Want to wear it?" Athy nods as she turned around, giving the older female access for styling her hair. Once she finished placing a blue bow on her ponytail, Athy turned to female smiling. "How does Athy look?"
"I think Athy looks adorable!" Name smiled as she hugged Athy.
Athy giggles as she tried pulling Name up from the couch. Keyword tried because she couldn't get her to do so.
Laughing, Name got up and patted the girl's head. "Shall we go sneak into the kitchen?"

My blog is a place for me to escape the real world out there so that means I don't like negativity, childish drama or anything like that. I don't like homophobia, racist and sexist people in here. My rants are my thoughts that I just want to let out and don't take most of my posts too seriously because I joke a lot and I can be sarcastic.
My dms are always open for anyone who ever wants to talk about anything. Life, hobbies, interests, etc... But just know that I can get very busy and life can be stressful too, so please don't come to my dms just to rant all the time. I really love helping others but I don't think I can handle just listening to rants all the time. I'd like to have interesting conversations too with everyone!
If you have a problem with me, come talk to me privately and communicate with me like a grown adult instead of ranting and talking sh*t about me behind my back. Obviously, I can't control what people do but if it's such a big problem, just communicate with me. I'm an easy person to talk to. I'm the kind of person who doesn't give a sh*t about the inadequate talk about me by others, so if I find out that you do and you don't communicate with me, you will be immediately blocked.

Hi Plant! Curious what you think about the Duke of Edinburgh title. What are the chances of Prince Edward getting it? If he isn't getting the title, why do you think not? (PS: Welcome back! You were missed! I hope you were lurking in Tumblr and it made you grin when people were trying to conjure you up with Erdem and culottes.)
Thanks! My original plan was to come back when Kate wore culottes...but she never wore them.
I'm actually rather sad about the Duke of Edinburgh title. I suspect it's being reserved for the Wales children because it's a family title. It's really tough on Edward and Sophie though. They should get some kind of duchy if Edinburgh is going to be reserved.
The royals really are consolidating. I think Buckingham and Kensington palaces will be opened to the public with permanent exhibitions in the private wings honoring Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana and the royals will move to Windsor. Clarence House and Highgrove will likely be opened after KCIII passes
I don't think it's Charles being mean or anything like that. I think they are being advised to do this to protect the royal brand in the long run and increase its financial stability.

A Cosmos in the Sand
Chapter 14
Raven gasped as she was pulled backward by Jhon who moved her just as Damyan and Jason lunged for each other, and the two began a bloody duel. Onlookers watched in amusement and confusion while Raven watched mouth agape in horror. She needed to get them to stop! She needed to protect Damian! Closing her eyes, fighting the wave of nausea, Raven willed her powers to her fingertips. "Don't!" Jhon grabbed her wrists. "You'll only make things worse!" he shouted as the crowd yelled in glee when Jason landed a punch to Damyan's solar plex.
"We have to stop them!" Raven said desperately, flinching as the sound of steel hitting steel reached her ears.
"Stay here!" Jhon exclaimed before sprinting away with god-like speed.
Raven's heart raced as people swarmed past her, towards the fight. Another person ran straight into her and knocked her to the ground. She needed…she needed…clanging of steel echoed in her head. Suddenly she wasn't in Themyscira. She was in Azarath – clinging to her mother as Slaede's men separated the men and teenage boys from the women in the girls. Screaming as she was torn from her mother's arms and thrown into a dungeon with other younger girls. Raven gripped her head as memories flooded her. Begging on her hands and knees – begging for the lives of her new sisters and brothers – promising fealty to Slaede in order to protect her new family. "You will be my sorceress – "
"Raven."
Raven looked up at the sound of her name. She was staring into beautiful, turquoise, green eyes that had flecks of gold in the pupils. Damyan. Raven slowly lowered her hands from her head and looked around. The fight was over. Damyan was by her side looking at her in concern. Everyone was quietly staring at her. Raven looked over Damyan's shoulder to see Jason glowering at her. A tall, long-haired redhead stood by him, and she didn't appear thrilled at Raven's presence either. "What happened?" Raven asked Damyan as he helped her to her feet.
"You must be Raven," a tall, regal woman stepped forward. Her hair was long, straight, and black. Her eyes were as blue as the sky, and her skin was tanned. She wore a sword on her back, silver cuffs on her wrists, and a lasso on her hip. While her breasts and abdomen were covered in armor, a short skirt covered her legs, while gold boots covered her legs to her knees. "I am Princess Diana," the woman spoke. "This is my mother, Queen Hippolyta," she gestured to an older woman who was dressed similarly to Diana. "Welcome to Themyscira."
Damyan ignored Jason's glare and focused on the meeting. Princess Diana had interrupted their sword fight and ordered the two to stand down. He smirked as he remembered Jason's face when the Queen and Diana welcomed Raven to Themyscira and ordered that "no harm come to her." Damyan looked at Raven. She looked ill…and small. It was the way she was holding herself, arms wrapped tightly around her waist. She also appeared paler than usual. Her violet eyes were round and gaunt. Her breathing was heavy. Damyan's gaze whipped to the sides of the giant tent. Iolite. It was making her sick. "We'll be back," he said as he grasped Raven's hand.
"We're in the middle of something important, Damyan," Kal-el frowned. Jhon, who stood by his father, looked at Raven and then Damyan. He nodded knowingly.
"It can wait," Damyan said as he pulled Raven behind him.
"Damyan," Diana spoke.
"You've been planning this attack on Slaede for the last 10 years, I think it can wait a few more minutes. The iolite is making Raven ill."
"The whore can wait," Jason growled.
Without a second thought, Damyan threw a dagger at Jason's head. The weapon was only blocked by Artermis' quick reflexes. "Damn," Damyan swore. "Guess I should have aimed for the bodyguard, instead," he snarled.
"Listen here, you little bastard," Jason stepped from behind Artemis.
"Bastard?" Damyan raised a brow. "I know who my father is," Damyan smirked. "He's the reason you're all alive."
"Did she cast some sort of spell on you?" Jason ignored Damyan's last retort.
"Enough!" Hippolyta exclaimed before Damyan could respond. "Damyan, you may take Raven to get some air. Return with a better attitude."
Damyan managed a respectful bow before leading Raven out of the tent. He never once let go of her hand.
The two walked in a comfortable silence, eventually broken by Raven. "You shouldn't argue with your comrades over me."
"Jason doesn't know what he's talking about," Damyan replied.
"I'm the enemy," Raven said.
"Slaede is the enemy."
"And I'm his sorceress. I work for Slaede."
"To protect your family."
"Damyan," Raven sighed. Damyan stopped abruptly. He turned to Raven and stared at her wide-eyed. "What?" Raven asked.
"I think…that's the first time I've heard you say my name," Damyan spoke slowly, caressing the hand he held.
Raven looked away with a soft blush. "That has nothing to do with anything I just said."
"You're not the villain here, Raven," Damyan fully faced her. "Slaede is."
"My hands are not clean."
"Neither are mine."
"I don't deserve your kindness," Raven tried to pull away.
"You deserve kindness, Raven," Damyan said, not budging. "Why not mine?"
