Alone Again

Simon "Ghost" Riley x fem!Reader

situation:

He didn't manage to save you, to stop you, it happened too quick, too fast and he had to pay for his mistake TWICE.

By proceeding you admit that you've read the warnings.

MIA

That word was engraved into his brain by this point. Her was getting sick of hearing it over and over again. In fact, he has gotten sick the first time he heard your name and MIA in the same sentence. He has never thought he could physically be sick at this point in life, but everything changed when you disappeared without a trace.

There was no time, you had to save the people inside the building, you didn’t listen to his orders or anyone’s if that matters. You went it and you proved them you were able to do your task, several people running out of the building and towards the rest of the Task Force, civilians, women, men.

They were quickly taken in the protection and sent off to the safety, Price and Ghost commanding the rescue of those people, to get them to the safe place and far away from the active gunfire, fires, and bombarding.

Soap was monitoring the building you went in from a far, counting seconds, hoping for you to walk out of it. He didn’t want to report to Ghost that you’ve done it but didn’t make it.

He didn’t have to do that, the moment Ghost and Price returned, the building collapsed, all four floors of stone crashing into a pile of blocks and dust. Simon didn’t have enough strength in him to turn to Soap and ask if you’ve made it out. Deep down he knew. He knew that if you’d were out, you’d already be here, he knew you’d help escorting the civilians.

“I’m sorry, Simon.” He heard from his side, the moment after he felt Price’s hand land on his shoulder.

Price, Soap, Gaz, and Laswell were the only ones who knew that you and he were more than just colleagues. You were more than just two soldiers working on the same team. You weren’t even friends, you were far gone past that point, loving each other, having each other’s backs, being there for each other, covering each other, doing everything to make each other’s world better.

You were a bright star in Simon’s life, you showed him how to smile again, you taught him how to laugh, you showed him things he would never see from his life behind the mask. You made him feel things that he thought people were making up. He owed you more than you ever knew.

He taught you how to handle knives. Your trick always being guns, you weren’t the best with the knives, and it was one of his twisted ways of showing that he cared and loved you. He showed you the correct ways on how to throw them, his tricks and never lost his temper or patience with you, when you threw it badly or didn’t understand something.

He showed you how to survive in a situation where you don’t have a single weapon on you. He taught you how to pay attention to details and spot things you could combine to make a weapon out of them.

He made sure to teach you everything he knows, he tried to prepare you for the situation that if he is gone, you can defend yourself at a hundred percent. You were a great soldier, you were skilled in combat, but he always was worried over your safety, he always wanted to make sure you were safe and could face any situation life throws at you.

But there was one that he didn’t predict or prepare you for.

When a four floored building falls on your head while you were saving the civilians out of it.

He stood there, his fists clenched, the only visible reaction he showed.

You were the one that always adored his eyes. Even after he took off his mask for you, after he stopped wearing it when you two were alone, you always loved his eyes. His brown eyes, that spoke more words than he audibly did. You always held eye contact with him, your favorite detail about him were his eyes.

His eyes, in which right now reflected the fire from the building that collapsed with you in it.

He slowly looked down at the ground in front of him, for the Ghost that always kept his head up and spine straight, this was an unusual look. Soap and Price didn’t dare to say a word, they knew how much you mattered to him, and they couldn’t bring themselves to walk him away from there.

They had to leave, they needed to go further, they couldn’t stay there, the enemy was still too close, they couldn’t allow standing in plain sight for someone to spot them. But they had an idea that Simon didn’t care right now. He lost the one he relearned how to live with and who he relearned how to live for.

The last bits of sanity left in him were holding him back from going into that burning building and picking up block by block, stone by stone, find you.

He didn’t even process anything around him, with the thoughts of you being taken away from him clouding his mind. He felt himself falling back into the fog of his mind that he always was in before you came into it like a bright star, giving him light to go in the direction of, leading him out of the darkness he was in.

“We have to go, Simon. We need to push further, or they will be back. Let’s secure this for her.” Price’s voice sounded somewhere far away for him, echoing in his mind, calling him back into reality.

He shrugged off Price’s hand. He grabbed his riffle from his side and went further without saying a single word or taking a single look at them.

Soap and Price followed him to the active battle zone and kept their mission going. Both of them knew that Ghost won’t be the same anymore, they knew that everything is going to be different from now on. They didn’t talk apart from Price giving them directions and orders.

Ghost’s finger was permanently on the trigger, he went for everyone’s heads in a blind numb rage, that was eating him from the inside. He changed magazine after magazine, wiping out enemy’s forces like they took you from him.

The mission was called successful, something Ghost never agreed with. They secured the territory, they freed civilians from the enemy forces, they killed half of the enemy army, leaving him vulnerable.

After the mission he went back to the building.

He used all of his power he has to go with the search operation to search for your body.

He watched them drag out several enemy soldiers’ bodies.

He watched them come back emptyhanded.

They wanted to announce you K.I.A, he pushed for the M.I.A status since your body was never found, nowhere nearby, nowhere in the building. He thought it would help him; it would give him hope for your come back. It gave him hope that maybe you will never come back but someone helped you out and you are going to live somewhere far but in peace.

Since that day he has never been the same. His anger spiraled downwards, he had problems keeping his temper, he ran out of patience in two moments, he dared anyone bring up your name in front of him. Several did that mistake; his fist has never connected with anyone’s face so quickly.

He lost sleep. Again.

He had troubles with sleeping before you came into his life. He was used to sleepless nights and dark circles under his eyes, that were covered with black paint anyway. He was used to peaceful loneliness filled with terrors of his past, he got used to them long time ago. But now he was struggling all over again. His terrors were you screaming in pain, as your life is leaving you in that building. He stood there and watched you, he tried to scream, yell, move, grab you and drag you out of what building, but he was frozen in place, not being able to move, enemy faces laughing at him and his helplessness.

Soon after he gave up sleep, he would rather live on caffeine and adrenaline than watch that once again. He didn’t care when others offered him help, he didn’t even care to hear them out. He didn’t need help. He needed you.

Anytime Soap, Price or Gaz offered him knowing looks he had to hold himself from punching those looks off their faces. He threw himself into every mission available, took every work he could to not be left alone with his thoughts, they weren’t better than his nightmares.

The enemy they were fighting against back there, when you went missing, went into hiding, taking half his army with him. That was the biggest task hanging over the Task Force now, to find him until he makes more moves.

Months passed since your disappearing, 4 months in total. Task Force were gathered in the meeting room, discussing the plan of their new mission. They managed to get intel on the enemy, thanks to the overseas friends and their help. Ghost didn’t want any plans, he wanted to go in guns blazing and smile in the face of the enemy that took you away from him. He didn’t care if he walked out of there or not.

But he still sat through the meetings, the planning, and preparations. He helped develop those plans because he knew that it was important not only to him but to everyone else too.

He prepared his best riffle, stacked all the magazines into his vest pockets, pants pockets and everywhere where it was easy to access them. Half of his subconsciousness still was moving him on the plan to go in guns blazing and make everyone’s life hell.

The mission was going according to plan, all the way until the last bit.

When they were entering the main building, they saw two figures on top of the staircase.

“Hold your fire!” the command roared in the air.

Everyone froze in place with their guns raised at the top of the staircase. The smoke from grenades, fire and smoke bombs was clouding the place, making it hard to see the faces, they stood there in complete silence, until one of the figures spoke.

“I have a deal for you. Something tells me you will want to hear me out.” The enemy’s voice sounded from the top.

The smoke finally settled down a little and Simon had to process everything almost dropping the gun from his hands, when he found you staring him in the eyes. The enemy hand an arm around your throat and a gun to your head, keeping you in front of him as a human shield.

You were still wearing the same clothes as 4 months ago, your hair messy and dirty, your skin pale and dried blood on almost all the parts of you. Ghost did not want to take any more of this, he would take out the man before he will even realize he moved, but then his eyes dropped to your stomach.

Blood was streaming down your legs, your stomach being cut almost open. The terrors flooded his mind and vision again, he was living through losing you all over again. He couldn’t allow that, he can’t let you slip away from him again.

“You get your girl back and let me go. A simple deal to your liking.” The enemy offered, keeping the gun in place.

Simon’s eyes found yours again, it was almost unnoticeable, but you glanced down at your stomach and then made a small movement like a shake of your head.

You were telling him that it wasn’t worth it, you won’t make it out, don’t agree to it. Please.

Before Ghost could react, a shot sounded and the enemy dropped on the floor, tugging you with him. The heads turned towards the window and Price saw Soap peeking out from his sniper riffle in the opposite building.

Simon didn’t waste a moment, in a second he was already on his knees by your side, pushing the enemy’s body away, putting your head on his knees and applying pressure to your wound. He didn’t speak even if in his mind he was screaming for you to hold on, he heard Price calling for the medics at the bottom of the staircase.

He froze when your hand landed on top of his, that was on your stomach.

“Just know..Simon..” you said with a small smile on your face, you were happy to finally see him again, that you got to see him one more time before the unavoidable was coming after you.

“Don’t Y/N. Don’t fucking say that. Everything will be fine.” He grunted, holding your stomach. His hands were covered in your blood, your blood that was pooling on your sides was staining his pants, but he didn’t care, he couldn’t care less about it, he cared only about one thing – you surviving.

“I love you, Simon. I love you, Ghost.” You whispered, while the man shook his head, not ready to accept what is about to come.

“Please.. see the world for me. Don’t give up on yourself without me.. I will.. always be with.. you.” You struggled to speak, your throat tightening.

You looked at him, as he slowly tugged off his mask, looking you in the eyes. He wanted for you to see him before you close your eyes forever, he wanted for you to see Simon, not Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley. He wanted for you to know that he matter to him.

“I love you, Y/N” he said keeping his stare on your eyes, your weak smile losing form several moments later.

His hand on your wound weakened, there was no point in putting pressure on it anymore. There was no point in putting pressure on it since the beginning and both of you knew it, the cut was too big and too deep to be saved.

His hand clenched the mask in his fist, hearing a following crack of the material of the skull. He didn’t react when medics arrived and took your body. He didn’t react when Soap sat down near him, his eyes glistening.

He knew he wouldn’t be okay, he wouldn’t let you go, he wouldn’t move on, he wouldn’t accept it.

But he had to keep your last wish, he had to do what you asked him for, he would overstep himself and do it, but he was never letting you go. He didn’t care how much that will damage him, he was too damaged to begin with, and you managed to put little pieces back together, but now.. there was nothing to put back together anymore, he was broken to the core, his familiar fog taking over his mind.

[banterismylovelanguage]

If they were animals…

(Don’t. Don’t even ask where this idea came from…. Actually you totally can but anyway)

ALBEDO

Mouse. The reason for this is because I view Albedo’s storyline similar to that of a mouse test subject. Intelligent, used for experimentation, and quietly unassuming but capable of extreme destruction.

KAEYA

Fox… 100% because of the stereotype but then also because of the fact that he defies the stereotype. It’s just that he is expected to trick others by people like Diluc (and mostly only Diluc since he’s very helpful to everyone else). He just has that way of speech that makes him seem shadier than he is, and he’s probably willing to do things that even Jean isn’t in order to ensure Mondstadt’s safety. Resourceful creature.

JEAN

Golden retriever. Okay, this is getting specific, but how else do you describe the most loyal, most eager to help, most self-sacrificing lady in Mondstadt (okay, debatable, but she’s one of them for sure!). Plus, she probably melts like putty when shown the slightest amount of affection. She’s a big softie.

LISA

Surprisingly, not a fox… but a koala. She’s very low energy, and while for koalas it’s because of their diet, for Lisa I think it focuses on her conserving energy for fights (of which she even has a sort of languid style then, too). In this sense, you could think of her as a lion, but I feel koala is more suiting for her because she has a very approachable demeanor. Soft and… cuddly. Sure. Koalas enjoy the quiet, peaceful times, and this reminds me of Lisa’s tea time when we found her sitting by herself. Plus, she works in a library—is that not fitting for a quiet environment?

VENTI

Dolphin. Highly intelligent, friendly, quick, constantly moving creatures. Shown to be very helpful to humans when they’re in danger. Shown to like to be around humans. Curious creatures. Shown to be very like humans… see where I’m going with this?

(If you heard weird things about dolphins… doesn’t apply here. Wipe it from your mind.)

ZHONGLI

Elephant. Highly intelligent, protective, strong memory. I think one key feature of Zhongli is that memory, that and his geo indestructible abilities remind me of how impossible it is to move an elephant, thus…

TARTAGLIA

Hyena. Something about how a hyena’s laugh isn’t actually a very joyous sound, it’s actually terrifying most of the times you hear it, and the rough upbringing of hyenas in general reminds me a lot of Childe’s backstory and his current state of putting on his bloodthirsty front for a fight. It’s extremely concerning. The only thing that is hard to connect with these two is that a hyena typically fights in a pack while Childe is the lone type, and he seems to prefer it that way.

SHENHE

As a lot of artists depict, the snow leopard is so right for Shenhe’s personality. Elusive, solitary creatures that avoid confrontation not just with other cats, but also with humans!

YUN JIN

Rabbit. Not only because they’re very cute… from my experience with them—which isn’t much—they’re very sociable creatures that range from being a bit timid but also extremely silly depending on the circumstances. Kind of a generic animal to pick, but the strongest qualities that I think resonate Yun Jin for me are that they 1), like to keep their living quarters neat (screams Yun Jin to me who may have a messy quarter due to her busy life as a performer, but I like to think during her “free time” she enjoys cleaning up around her place), 2), are great pets for ‘quiet kids’/are also great at teaching kids patience, and 3), can absolutely be so dramatic in the ‘quietest’ way.

ROSARIA

Orca. One, I really like that the orca is also called the “killer whale” but are, in fact, very friendly towards humans. They’re terrifying in that they are larger than life creatures, and the way they play with their prey (seals in particular) is brutal, but their threat to a human is nonexistent. Two, mother orcas help their sons in particular survive, and while Rosaria is only a sister to Razor, I find this dynamic potentially reflective in that Rosaria is clearly older but also extremely protective of her brother, and I just like the thought of this big sis ready to kill for her only brother.

Niragi x reader (One piece x Alice in Borderland crossover)

Word count: 2,234

—-

The moonlight was your only company during this dark and cold night. You cursed to no one in particular about the weather and your poor choice of outfit. Back at the Beach the weather was warm, allowing you to wear your black board shorts with your bikini top. You weren’t sure what kind of sick game the creators had planned for you. There was no time to think, you had to find a way to complete the game before your visa expired.

What was strange is that this was meant to be a game of clubs. So far you haven’t seen or heard anyone nearby. You’ve been walking around this forest trying to find a clue which was getting harder to do by the second. You were starting to doze off and were struggling to keep your eyes open. Not even the sound of twigs snapping under your foot helped you to stay awake.

You were slowly starting to loose hope when you heard water, and people talking. There was fear striking you now, you weren’t sure if this was a good or bad. You took cautious steps and pulled out the gun that your boyfriend, Niragi, gave you once before a game.

The two of you knew you won’t always be put in the same group and he wouldn’t be there to protect you. He would teach you how to use it when neither of you had to play games. Yet after all those practices the cold, heavy object felt strange in your hands.

You kept on walking towards the noise and as you got closer you saw what you believe to be a ship. A huge one, something that pirates would use. Of course there was no way of there being any pirates. Right? You were in Tokyo after all.

There was no other option now but to climb aboard and get answers. You tried to be as quiet as you possibly could or at least you thought you were. But a certain swordsman heard you trying to sneak in.

One moment you were near the entrance of the ship alone and the next you were being held by a strong arm. While the other held a sword on your throat. You heard footsteps running towards the two of you. The airbase getting stuff and you weren’t sure if you’d be able to survive.

You still had to be strong, you were the girlfriend of a militant after all. There was no time for weakness.

“A girl?” You heard various voices ask some looked to be around the same age as you while others looked older.

“A pretty lady that was sent from heaven.” A blond exclaimed and you could see how his eyes turned heart shaped. It was as if he had never seen a girl before even if there were two standing next to him.

It didn’t take long for him to realize the position you were in. His face turned into one of anger as he yelled out to the man holding you.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing mosshead?!? That’s no way to treat a lady, let her go.”

This only caused the swordsman to hold onto you tighter. “What no way! She tried to sneak in and look she has a gun!”

The moment those last words left his lips everyone looked down to your hand and sure enough, there was a gun.

While everyone was screaming and running around like maniacs you took this as an opportunity to kick the swordsman on his groin. As he let go of you, you turned around and quickly made him get on his knees while holding both arms behind his back. You had one foot on top of his leg making it harder for him to move.

This was a trick that Aguni taught you, not only were you the girlfriend of his right hand man, but he saw you as his daughter and wanted you to be able to protect yourself.

Nobody else seemed to notice this change of charge, you lifted up the gun aimed to the sky and pulled the trigger. Everyone soon after watched you with wide eyes. You placed the gun on his temple which you could feel was tense.

“There are more bullets from where that came from. If you don’t want me to kill him then I suggest you better tell me. Where the hell I am and who you guys are.”

“Listen lady I don’t know who you think you are but you better let go of Zoro.” A boy with straw hat spoke as he walked closer to you, anger in his eyes but you wouldn’t let that intimidate you.

“Luffy, I say let her kill him.” The blond spoke once more and you were confused as to why he would want this.

“Don’t be stupid Sanji, Zoro is our friend.” You as Luffy raised his arm and saw it stretched almost comically and was ready to hit you. Although you didn’t budge at all, you’ve seen stranger things back at the Beach and the games you were forced to participate in.

Before his arm could reach you, multiple hands appeared and held him in place.

“Robin, let go.” He said whining and dragging out her name for more emphasis.

“I don’t think it’s smart to hurt her when she clearly isn’t from here.”

That’s when everyone took a good look at you, from the clothes you had on to the bracelet on your wrist with the number 20 written on it.

“Come on, let’s get you something warm.” Luffy who you have come to the realization that is the leader led you towards a big room in the ship. The lights were turned off but you could see water and fish swimming around. Thinking that they will throw you overboard you held tightly to your gun but as the lights were turned on you realized it was an aquarium. You couldn’t help but admire it, this is as much life as you have seen since getting thrown in the borderlands.

Everyone took a seat while some sort of reindeer went to get you a jacket. Claiming that he was a doctor and it was his duty to take care of everyone. Unlike chishiya, who before the borderlands was also leaching in the medical field, you saw the care he actually puts on the well-being of others.

While they all spoke about who they are and where they were. The reindeer who you learned is named Chopper, inspected you for any injuries with so much delicacy. Nothing like Chishiya did back when you got a nasty cut to the stomach. He treated you with zero care, when Niragi found out about it he was livid. There was nothing he could do but threaten him for if he touched even one hair from his head he would’ve been in serious trouble. Not just with Aguni but Hatter as well.

After you explained everything to them from what you did before the borderlands, to the games you had to play and why you were about to attack them. You were surprised to look up and not getting any sympathy, something you were glad about. It seemed that they had also been through some hard circumstances and weren’t taken by surprise.

Luffy was the first to speak up “don’t worry, we’ll help you find your friends.”

During your stay with them not everyone was comfortable with you being there. They treated you as if you were a bomb that could go off any moment and kill them all. Honestly, you couldn’t blame them. Yet you tried your best to show your gratitude and help around. Sanji, who also happened to be the cook, flirted aimlessly with you. You tried to explain that you had a boyfriend who you loved and he would be willing to kill him if he sees him like that. After a while you noticed it wasn’t because he had a crush on you, he simply wanted all women to feel loved.

You were now a few hours away from arriving to the next island in hopes that you will find anyone from the Beach.

During those few hours, Sanji prepared you delicious snacks. Some had names you couldn’t even pronounce if you tried, even if your stay with them is expected to be short. You’ll surely miss them. They are the closest friends you’ve had since you were 13. Even if they could be idiots at times you saw how much they cared for one another.

As you finally reached the island everyone, except Franky and Ussop, accompanied you to look for your friends. It occurred to you that you never told them how they looked like. You also weren’t sure who to describe, for all you knew you were the only one who landed in this place.

Deciding on given them straightforward details you said to keep an eye on anyone who wears a bikini, has a weapon practically glued to their hands/backs and has a bracelet similar to yours. You also said that if any of them saw them to be aware of their behavior, any of them would be willing to get into a fight.

It must’ve been two hours of aimlessly walking around that neither of you saw or heard anything. Just when you were about to call it quits you heard screams, it was as if they were being tortured.

Robin, who took the role of taking care of everyone from the crew. Advertised you to not get your hopes up, there were many pirates around. Unlike them, others loved chaos and killing for fun.

Admitting defeat you started your journey back to the ship, the thousand sunny, when you heard it. Faintly, as if the air was dragging it away from reaching your ears, a laugh. A maniac laugh one that you could recognize anywhere.

Without thinking you ran to the source of the sound. You ran as fast as your legs could carry you, the group called your name and ran behind you but you paid them no attention. There was no way in hell that you would leave before confirming if the laughter was of your lover.

There was a crowd up ahead, they were all scared of what was in front of them yet they didn’t move. You were stuck, there was no way of getting through. As you stood there trying to squeeze through the group managed to catch up to you.

“Is that them y/n?” Robin asked while looking down at you.

“I can’t see them but there’s no doubt about it.”

She crossed her arms over her chest in order to activate her devil fruit flowers.

“Mille Fleur, gigantesco mano” with that, two giant hands appeared in front of you and she used them to part the crowd that had formed. Allowing you enough room to walk through, which you did after a giving her a quick thanks.

They all followed closely behind, in case they had to fight.

Standing across from you was Niragi and Aguni plus a few other militants who you never bothered to learn their names. The didn’t hear the commotion going on behind them.

“Niragi, she’s not here. Let’s go, now!” Aguni’s deep voice was loud and clear. Even if Niragi wanted to destroy anything that crossed his path he still had to follow his orders.

“Niragi!” You yelled out happily while running towards him.

At hearing his voice being called out he turned around with a smirk only for it to grow in a genuine smile. Aguni only gave you a small one before his face went back to normal and observed the group that stood behind you with arms crossed.

You engulfed Niragi in a tight hug, taking in his smell. He was much taller than you which made it easier to pick you up and spin you around before setting you down and give you a kiss. One that left Sanji heartbroken and Luffy questioning why he was eating your face.

As you two separated Nami noticed the bright smile that adorned your face. It made her realize that she was wrong about you.

You turned to them and thanked them all for their help. You now had a new mission, figure out if you still had to place games or if this was the end of it all.

Niragi stood in front of you and placed his hands on your shoulders. He leaned down to be face to face with you and said, in a not so low voice.

“I missed you but I prefer you with less clothes.” Not allowing you anytime to respond he gripped the sweater you had on and ripped it. Once again leaving you with your bikini top, embarrassed you turned to Nami and Robin.

“Sorry about the sweater.” You smiled sheepishly.

Robin simply smiled and chuckled softly, while Nami screamed saying it was worth so much money (even if she did steal it) and you had to pay her 5,000,000,000 berries for it. From the corner of your eyes you saw as Sanji fell to floor after having a nosebleed to which Chopper started to cry and went for his aid. Zoro simply walked away saying he needed a drink. Luffy only smiled and gave you a big wave.

[do-i-look-like-a-doctor]

AU: Chris from Until Dawn is also Chris Hackett in The Quarry

Let’s deep dive into this:

~~~~~~~~

So basically this au would include a lot of depth into things and would make the relationships between Chris and the counselors a tad different.

Chris, when he was younger, went through the events of Until Dawn with the wendigos, nearly got slaughtered in front of Ashley, and he also witnessed his best friend’s mental health decline into mass hysteria/mania. Not to mention on one occasions he was tricked into believing he killed his best friend and later on had to choose between himself or Ashley. These events alone affected him as a whole and gave him a new perspective of life.

Chris becomes even more protective in the end of Until Dawn. To him there is no safe-place and with his family being rather… strict with things he felt trapped. Ashley helped him through and that’s when he realizes that his escape was her and her escape was him. He gets away from the Lodge with his surviving friends and finds himself staying with his family within the forest. His interest in things plummets as the trauma is to much for him to handle. Let’s not forget that he is, once again, within the deep woods so that alone makes him on edge. Granted they have transportation and ways out but he can’t get over it. The summer camp, in this au, would have already existed and he was next in line to run it and didn’t have time for his mental health.

Let’s be real the Hackett family didn’t seem so keen on anything other then loyalty and strange morals. Pushing Chris into the front lines of work once he was healed made more sense then sending him to therapy.

All of a sudden you have this young, just escaped a vicious beast that used to be his friend, very traumatized, fresh out of police interrogation, anxious Chris running a summer camp for years to come. He is a mess during the beginning. He hated the loudness of the forest, it brought back memories of Alberta that he never wants to remember such as the frozen land and the Flamethrower Guy. Thankfully he had his friends on his side, especially Ashley, so he strung through most of it. The challenging part was managing kids who tended to get hurt a lot.

Chris was already known for being protective so add in a near death experience and some little kids? Yeah he’s panicking every step of the way.

It took him a long time to truly understand the anxiety he felt when a child got injured and it took even longer for him to realize that he can’t control accidents. If a child were to fall down during, let’s say, a hike Chris would usually fret around to the point of isolation. Feeling like he failed protecting these kids was a common occurrence so when the nurse got ahold of the injuries he would lock himself away. Ashley, who became a councilor along with the rest of his friends, coaxed him out and it took a long talk with Mike and Sam for him to sit down and realize that things happen and accidents are part of life. He learned to cope in the end but by then he was in his early 20’s. Kaylee and Caleb enter the equation.

Caleb and Kaylee, in this au, are not Chris’s children. Who wants kids after messing with wendigo’s in Alberta? Instead, they’re younger extended family that was adopted by the Hackett’s. Chris treats them like little siblings and teaches them all the ways of the world but this led to them being very curious about everything. It doesn’t help that Ashley is also an extremely curious person by nature so she often encouraged them to figure things out and go explore. This goes on for a while, they get in trouble sometimes but it’s nothing big bro Chris can’t fix. Around 30 is when Ashley and Chris finally marry and all seems well in life. He’s still a little fucked up and misses his best friend but hey, what can you do? He reaches his early 40’s with no trouble and things look fine, he’s happy at his job and adores his wife. It’s a summer camp though which means new faces pop up every year along with a million personalities.

Around this time I think Ryan would come in. Chris sees him and questions some things. A young kid with poor communication skills and a somewhat goofy aloof side mixed with complexity? Sounds a lot like someone Chris used to know.

We all know that Ryan and Josh are completely different people and Chris knows this but sometimes he would look at Ryan’s antics and see his old friend. Ryan would be the kid to follow him around and ask questions, normally excited about horror podcasts and the wildlife, and Chris would listen and think about Josh who was also a horror movie fan who grew up in the mountains. Chris didn’t despise Ryan for reminding him of Josh, he helped him out instead.

Personally I headcanon that Ryan has autism, this is based off my gameplay and also he reminds me of the children I used to work with (I used to be a part-time special needs aid during my highschool life) and in this au Ryan’s autism does get to him the first few days of camp when he was younger.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed, all the new faces and things being moved, but Chris felt prepared. He used to help Josh when he was having moments so he applied the same idea with Ryan. Use earbuds with a calm podcast to block out the extra noise and try to give Ryan his own bunk so he can organize how he likes and not worry about others touching his stuff. If it’s not that it’s communication and teaching him ways to talk that doesn’t need many words or harsh action. Use crayons on paper to talk instead of tears is what he taught Ryan.

This is one of the things that brought him and Ryan closer and when the kid got older is when Chris started to feel a sense of longing for the past.

Then the freak show rolls in, things take a turn for the worst, and suddenly Chris and his younger adopted siblings are infected with this curse.

The feeling of terror is sickeningly familiar and Chris hated every second of it. He can’t get over it and he refuses to. Shifting was painful and gruesome, it actually terrified every one of his friends into quitting, but Ashley stuck by his side. It’s not like his friends quit and left for good, they’re still around, but they weren’t up for messing with curses after what happened years ago. Chris doesn’t blame them one bit because he would feel the same. His dear wife was very adamant that she could handle being around Chris and he does appreciate her for it but trusting himself during the full moon was a no-go. When the time came around he begged her to stay somewhere else and she would begrudgingly agree.

Things are… rough for Chris. He isn’t over the whole lodge incident, his friends (while they still talk) quit their jobs as counselors out of fear, he has to be separated from Ashley for her own safety as he becomes a vicious monster, and now his favorite camper is becoming too old for summer camps. His heart hurts because it feels as if this curse not only took away his humanity but also the people he loves. When Ryan turns 18 is when Chris is full-on sobbing sad because this teen, who he saw a son, couldn’t come around anymore. He was too old. That is, until his job application came in along with 8 others.

Chris was overjoyed. He could hire these new younger councilors instead of the old farts he had around before and the kids would love it! They have people who could keep up with them and mess with… but he is still cursed as a wolf.

When he accepts some applications and brings the entire Quarry crew in is when Chris’s heart aches even more. He learned things about these young adults that make him feel old and he gets some deja vu. Emma likes to make people smile, she has a perfect mix of spunky snakiness combined with a known beauty. It makes him think of Jess. Meanwhile Kaitlyn is tough as nails, a shorter woman who knows how to take down any one and tries to think before taking any action and her intelligence is unmatched… she’s a lot like Emily.

Jacob? God he acts like a high-school version of Mike. Kind of a dick with not much going on in his head until someone knocks sense into him. It’s all surreal in a way how history is literally repeating itself but Chris just ignores it.

His bond with the counselor crew is rather strong and with Ryan by his side things went smoothly. Chris hated seeing them get hurt as well, same still goes for the kids, but unlike his younger self he actually helped them out this time. When Nick got burns from cooking Chris would show him how to fix it and when Abi slipped outside Chris either helped her up or guide Nick to go to her rescue (often he teases the crushes amongst the counselor group but it’s all fun) or the times Jacob messed up in front of Emma it was Chris who handled it. Not to mention he was an emotional support shoulder for these teens because while they may not know the full story of the Washington Lodge they understand that Chris has seen some stuff and has their backs.

Then the van breaks. Suddenly he feels trapped again. Something similar happened a few years ago, he and his friends got stuck in a remote area and no help was available until the next morning. There’s a threat in the woods that is inhuman and no one knew who she was until the last second. That was the lodge though, this is a summer camp, but Chris knows that there’s a inhuman threat out here.

He’s one of them, afterall, and he could hurt the counselors. He freaks out a little but it’s not anger directed at anyone it’s rooted to panic and anxiety but it comes across as aggression. He didn’t intend to startle anyone with an outburst but what else could he do? His councilors, all 9 of these teens he swore to keep safe, have their necks on the line and they don’t even know it. The people in the past to put their lives out in the open like this didn’t turn out well. Flamethrower Guy, Sam and Mike… Josh. Only two made it out alive.

So what does Chris do with no transportation? He asks Ryan to convince everyone that the basement is the safest place and hopes for the best. Last time Chris tried to hide in a basement ended with him, Sam and Ashley leaving and trying to find Mike but… Chris knows that Ryan and his fellow friends are smart. He trusts the teens to keep their heads and make it out alive. They have to, Chris will be damned if any of them get hurt.

Would Chris tell them about the curse? No, it’ll just freak them out even more and they would probably think he’s crazy. Who would believe that he, a 47 year old man with a limp in his step and an irrational fear of sawblades, was a werewolf capable of killing?

Instead Chris will put his trust in everyone and no matter how much he wishes to stay with them he can’t. He needs to leave before the full moon so no one can get hurt. They need to all make it out alive and Chris will make sure of that in the end. He watched Flamethrower Guy sacrifice his life and Chris didn’t understand it back then but he does now. He’s ready to put his neck on the line.

He saw what Wendigo’s can do, he knows what werewolves can do, and he’s not about to stick around a find out what he himself can do.

~~~~~~~~

So… yeah this is my deep dive into my au about Until Dawn Chris Hackett. I need to come up with a better name but for now we shall call it UDCH. There’s more depth to the relationships between Chris and the counselors as well as the rest of the Until Dawn gang but this is my overall gist. Feel free to add onto this or even use the au!! All I need is credited. Have fun with this one gang I might turn it into more later on.

Someone in North America is missing their NES Edition 3DS XL after Scrabble found it unattended and wandered off with it during his travels. Even after being reformed, he still has it because he has no idea who set it down or who it belonged to after figuring out how to reset it (or more accurately, accidentally resetting it without understanding what that does). Whoops!

Sensei uses his fire-jitsu abilities to blow glass in his spare time, and teaches more advanced fire ninjas to do the same as it's a good way to remind them the importance of patience (and also because being able to make glass dolphins is sick nasty awesome).

While a Box Dimensioner can have a parent (or multiple) that is their primary caretaker, communal raising is very common. Box Dimenisioners being raised by just their parents, while not frowned upon is considerably rare in comparison.

Despite being "outdated", Spy Gadgets are still supported due to the nolstalgia older EPF agents have towards them. A newer version (that looks like a certain other Nintendo console) was invented by Gary in 2017.

Richter owns a single orange halfmoon betta fish named Pi, which she adopted in hopes that taking care of something that lives underwater would help her overcome her fears. It did not, but she still loves it anyways and takes good care of it.

Herbert shaped pinatas are very common at agent birthday parties, especially after Blackout, and Protobot is the second most popular choice. Other villain pinatas, like Skip or Scorn are less common.

“Freeze a Jolly Good Fellow” used to be a very popular birthday song on the island...after Blackout? Not so much. Some agents (and the occasional civilian) who were frozen think it's funny to ask their friends to sing it to them, though.

After Operation: Puffle, Paige took to training agents who were interested in working with puffles to protect the island alongside her. This formed the Ranger Class- specialized in wilderness survival/rescue, puffle training, and aiding in the Ski Patrol's (and other island rescue organizations) puffle rescues.

Gary spent an entire year perfecting the Rubber Duck 3000...which basically just exists for aiding him (and other Tech agents, as well as Comms agents) in rubber duck debugging.

After the Blackout was over, although things were looking brighter in the metaphorical and literal sense, it was only natural that penguins were still feeling down in the dumps despite being free from Herbert’s rule. However, when a group of penguins gathered all the Herbert memorabilia they could find and tossed it onto the fire, it inspired others to bring fish, marshmallows and other foods to roast over the smouldering flames. When penguins got too cozy by the fire to want to return to their cold igloos, others went home to bring blankets and tents to share. The community uniting after their hardships created a new holiday: The Festival of Freedom. Penguins are encouraged to be as loud, unapolgetically fun loving and most of all warm- everything Herbert didn't want them to be! It's a brief two week party sometime before Merry Walrus.

There is a heated debate over whether it's acceptable to eat pumpkin pie for Halloween because especially powerful ghosts can turn penguins into pumpkins. Though it’s obvious enough so they aren’t mistaken for regular pumpkins and (usually) it's never permanent, it’s seen as insulting to do so to penguins who were temporarily pumpkins. Rolly, who was turned into a pumpkin by the Ghost Gang for saying Redrum's name was stupid and continues to eat pumpkin pie despite this is an outlier and should not be counted.

Candy Ghosts feed off of candy and Halloween mischief- oftentimes, ghosts will be “born” around igloos that recently got defaced with toilet paper...or from a particularly lucky trick or treater’s abundance of candy. I hope you enjoy getting jumpscared by ghosts until Gary can remove them.

[just-an-enby-lemon]

After a small eternity. I'm finally making my OC infodump I told @girlbossgoroakechi I would do. I'm really sorry for taking forever I was organazing my thoughs and when I finally did it Icollege started to really take my time.

Anyway. Let's talk about Dante.

Dante is one of the protagonists of a superhero series that exists only in my mind. Before his appearance and even after he is always mentioned by people who don't know him personally as this powerfull misterious shady genius that can answer any question and provide any information for a price and later as the guy who revolutionized magic. In reality he is mostly a depressed anxious queer guy that really just wants to play bass in his garage band, has max carisma but zero people skills and is a huge dork.

He didn't had the best life. His parents were very conservative and abusive with him and his older sister and as he was queer and neurodivergent he got the worst part of it all. His older sister mostly only was punished when she tried to protect him. And since he lived in a small religious conservative town his bad name as the weird kid spread. Most parents didn't want his kids hanging with him and most kids bullied him (and whoever decided to try befriend him wich of course made him think he hurted anyone who got close). As he grew his friends were the few people on the town that were also seing as weird. The blind old man who lived on the edge of town and whose late wife read tarot cards, the brown jewish woman kids called a wich but was kind and smart and really funny and also maybe the best cookies, her son who was his first crush, the town's prostitute, the uncle with down syndrome who worked as a cashier and teached him to play guitar, the openly gay teen who gave him a bass because he knew to play the guitar and it was similar and his high school band didn't had a bass player, the muslin family specially their twin kids and of course his sister who followed the normacy rules but was tolerant and kind and accepted everyone. This were his people. Wich of course meant his parents sended him to a far away nun school the moment they got the chance because the family name.

School was bad enough and when his second crush and best friend comited suicide in his second year. His sister gave him a bass for his birthday and on his junior year he just packed his things and went away. He was a genius. Got things to quick for his own good and had no emotional inteligence so he was always in trouble. He teached himself to fix cars and radios and computers. To do compurter programs, to hack and manipulate and trick. The best ways to find information and do research all to make some money to survive.

He got the attention of a local mob boss. In a world of heros and villains information is gold and soon he evolved from an annoyance to a treat and from a danger to an asset. He was more ethic in his early days. Trying to help heros and good people. But he still got catch in a bust and he was a easy pray. He was arrested and placed on a female prison to his despair but thanks to his habilities with information and carisma he was doing alright. But he bonded to his young cellmate. And by trying to defend them went to solitary. Now solitary is torture. But is extra bad for someone with mental health issues. He broke. If that was the price of caring he was done with playing it.

He escaped in the first change he had after he was out of solitary. He started selling any information to anyone who payed high enough. He prefered favours and new information to money.

Now when I saw heros I mean hero. At this point there is only one vigilante around. Shadowcast. And while he doesn't kill he doesn't care if the criminals end up dying in the hospital. He hates crime, barely believes in rehabilitation and works ALONE. He refused help and activaly stoped any possible ally/other hero around. Including some important charscthers like one of the other protagonists a black trans lesbian named Kenya who used to be a rather famous stunt artist and martial artisit before transitioning and now is a karate/self defense teacher who teachs poor kids for free and during one of the movies discovered that her mother helped a weird creature during the pregnancy and the whole story about how she survived the dificult pregnancy was thanks to the creature that also gave her fire powers, a non-binary latine speedester who got his powers thanks to a lab accident and a flirty jornalist by day art thief by night (she actually gives stolen artifacts back to the people it should always belong to). Dante and him worked together sometimes. But is easy to see why Dante ended up closer to the villains side of the story.

It was thanks to them that he discovered magic. A whole powerfully wolrd hidden from most people and that he apparently belonged to. He learned some spells and to potions but wasn't the best. That being said one of the best magicians a moraly gray young man who wsnted to know everything about magic by some dubious means if need and definitve villain was also his first long term relationship. He and Miles were barely adults and while they weren't abusive and loved each other a lot they weren't a healthy relationship either. The good moments were the best moments but the bad moments were the worst and they had a pretty bad break up after almost five years together (they do reconcile way later when older and with way more experience and become best friends and than lovers but it takes a while). That meant he was more villain than hero. During this years he also started taking T and did bottom and top surgery.

He ended up in jail again at his late twenties. Although he got into supervillain jail and this prison was not divided by gender. He stayed there for a year and a half. At this point he was stsrting to feel burned out. He had never expected to leave past his 20s but now with twenty-eigth getting to 30 was becaming a ream possibility. He got out of jail for good behavior around the time the reason for the stories start.

Shawdowcast misteriously disapeared and his adoptive baby brother (though people don't know the connection) not only discovered his brother was a hero but got the mantle (though he would slowly evoulve to his own hero called Nightingale. Kellar- the new hero - is vastly different from his brother, he is unprepared, falls a lot and jokes even more but he learns quickly, is actually a good fighter, cares way more, believes in people and that villains can change and more importantly does not work alone, he incetivazes the people his brother casted away to help him, to also become heros and team up and offer new perspectives and he is also really open to new heros).

So Dante is back and purposiless. Miles disapeared of the face of earth since the break up almost four years ago. Without many options he decides to look for his sister and try to recover their relationship. Thing is his sister was recently victim of a misterious crime and is on a coma. Now that he is legally not a criminal that means he is the next of kin to his niece (June).A feroucious pre-teen who wants to become a vigilante. So he is raising his niece (and basically raising her best friend because his parents don't care), after giving up on stopoing her trying to make sure she doesn't die on her new "past-time job". He has enough money for a simple life and does keep his information act but only if they really need cash and is trying to just take his meds, find a therapist and deal with all this bottled up mental health issues that are finally manifesting. And that is when his niece finds his old bass on her mother stuff and asks him to teach her. He does. And he finds that he never felt better than when playing. He rediscovers his pashion.

Not long after on their small hero gig (that soon involves his niece best friend, the girl his niece has a crush on and this girl older brother and suddently he has two kids and two half-ish kids because the other two have good avaliable parents wich on the bad side means he now has parents to bond with) they discover that the reason that May (his sister) is still on a coma is because is a magical coma. So he has to go back to magic. And he isn't good at it. Until one day he is too tired and he decides to play a bit to calm down and suddently the music appears like a language and just makes sense and as he slowly realizes that for magical people an activity they are emotionaly conected to can bring the most magic if they know how to apply it and reads a bunch of tomes he invents bardling. And he suddently becames really good a magic because now he is making it in a way that makese sense for him. He also teaches his niece but hers manifets as combat magic mostly.

Only after they brought his sister back and he is teaching his new magic sometimes, living with them and doing a bit better is that they end up in a waay bigger mess and get in the same story as the rest of the hero gang. Who are all sorta shocked and disapointed that the misterious legendary oracle they were hearing about is just a short insominiac that doesn't know when to speak and when to shut up and got lost at the mail because he got distracted by a sudden wish to learn to play the flute and suddently was alone in an instrument store and as he buyed the flute and got out was very overwhelmed by the noise and touch and lights and people.

He gets to do a lot of other stuff. Like adopting a five year old girl that is super cute and sweet and also an eldrish creature and also a normal teen who is his's niece best friend. Playing spy for the heros more than once. Getting back to his ex. Making the life of his ex abusive ex-boyfriend hell. Comiting lots of arson. Playing games. Just a bunch of things.

#i don't know if his personality got through #but i hope it did #his arc is in a lot of points of him relearning to care #about how he used to care soo much about people and had it beaten out of him and know is getting it back #he is very sarcastic #he has a lot of sensory issues #like a lot #his time in solitary only made it worse #he is afraid of darkness because of it #he loves indie games #oc #meet my ocs

Ramayana Ballet Performance

July 14

Yogyakarta,Java

We attended an outdoors performance of the Ramayana Ballet on a full-moon night.

Ramayana ballet performance combines dance and drama without dialogue. The Ramayana story is based on Hindu epics adapted to Javanese culture. More than 200 dancers and gamelan musicians participate in this Ballet.

Ramayana Ballet performance, a traditional Javanese dance, combines dance and drama without dialogue. The Ramayana story is based on Hindu epics adapted to Javanese culture. The play is performed by more than 100 dancers and gamelan musicians on a giant open-air stage. The back-lit 9th century Prambanan Hindu Temple makes for a specular backdrop.

Put away all thoughts about watching ballerinas walking on toes. The Javanese wouldn’t subject their dancers to such toe-walking cruelty. The Ramayana Ballet, bears little resemblance to Western ballet. The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, or Sleeping Beauty, this ain’t.

Ramayana, one of the two most famous ancient Sanskrit epics originating from India, is one of the largest epics in literature and presents Hindu teachings in a narrative form. The epic follows the exiled Prince Rama's quest to rescue his wife Sita from her kidnaper Ravana, the 10-headed King of Lanka (present day Sri Lanka), with the help of an army of monkeys, led by Hanuman, a Hindu monkey God.

The narrative climaxes when Hanuman sets fire to Ravana’s palace.

[Despite Ravana’s nefarious action, he is worshiped by Hindus in parts of Northern India where he is said to have been born. He is considered to be the most revered devotee of Shiva, a trinity of Hindu gods. Images of Ravana are seen alongside Shiva's, the trinity of Hindu trinity gods, in some Shiva temples.]

Dated to around 500 BCE to 100 BCE, the Ramayana epic contains the teachings of ancient Hindu sages comprising of 24,000 verses in seven cantos. While the basic story is about palace politics and battles with demon tribes, the narrative is interspersed with philosophy, ethics, and notes on duty. It is one of the most important literary works of ancient India and a staple of dramatic traditions, re-enacted in dance dramas and shadow-puppet theatres.

Rama, prince of Ayodhya, along with his wife princess Sita and brother Laksmana, was exiled to a forest for 14 years through the plotting of his stepmother. In the forest, Sita, while Rama and Laksmana were away, was tricked to step out of her imaginary protective space (established by Rama), demarked by a circle, and then abducted by Ravana and held on the island of Lanka (now called Sri Lanka). Rama gathered an army of monkeys to rescue her. The army of monkeys, led by Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god, built a bridge to get to Lanka, killed Ravana, and retrieved Sita.

According to legend, the narrow, in places shallow and rocky, strait between India and Sri Lanka is said to contain the remnants of that bridge.

In order to prove her chastity, Rama had Sita walk through a flaming fire, which she survived unscathed, vindicated by the gods and restored to her husband. Some versions of the Ramayana say that when Sita walked over the flames, the flames turned into flowers.

The end of war with Ravana also marked the end of Rama’s exile and his return to Ayodhya where he took over as the rightful king. Diwali, a 5-day festival-of-lights with fireworks-exploding celebration (making our 4th of July fireworks show a nothing burger) to symbolize the victory of good over evil, marks the return of Rama to Ayodhya.

It is possible that Rama was an actual tribal hero of ancient India, who was later deified. References to Lord Rama (a perfect man or lord of virtue), the seventh of ten reincarnations of Vishnu** (see note below), a trinity of Hindu deities, appear in the early centuries, but there was no special worship of him before the 11th century, and it was not until the 14th and 15th centuries that distinct sects began venerating him as a supreme god. Every Rama temple includes a statue of Hanuman, the monkey god, positioned next to Rama’s statue.

Some scholars believe that the present-day Ayodhya (population half million) in northern India is the legendary Ayodhya where Rama was born, while others believe that the legendary city is a mythical place that came to be identified with the present-day namesake only around the 4th/5th century.

Current Events: In 1992, at a BJP (Indian Prime Minister Modi’s party) political rally in Ayodhya, which turned into a riot, Hindu nationalist razed a 500-year-old, Moghul-era Muslim mosque to make room for a temple at that site where they believe, without evidence, previously stood a Hindu temple marking the precise spot of Rama’s birth. The case of which religion/entity is entitled to hold this land had been winding through India’s notorious, snail-paced judiciary system for about 27 years.

In November 2019, in a convoluted logic, India’s Supreme Court ruled that the demolition of the mosque was “a serious violation of the rule of law,” and that there is no evidence that a Hindu Temple ever existed at that site but, nevertheless, Hindus could build a temple at the site, with Muslims to be given an alternate, as yet unidentified, site to build their mosque. Apparently, under Indian law, as interpreted by its highest court, it is acceptable to benefit from the fruits of a crime.

[**Note: According to Hindu mythology, Vishnu’s yet-to-appear tenth reincarnation, Kalki, will emerge in the terrestrial world when virtue and religion have disappeared and the world is ruled by unjust men. Kalki, the savior, will then arrive riding a white horse, with an unsheathed sword in his hand and blazing like a comet (as depicted in some of his images), to destroy the wicked and usher in a new, more just age…a belief akin to that held by the followers of one of the Abrahamic religions in the second coming of their savior. Apparently none of the world’s leaders in human history have committed sufficient injustice, ironically sometimes in the name of religion which has triggered more bloody conflicts than any other cause, to exceed the threshold of horror to trigger the appearance of the blazing comet carrying Kali, or his counterpart, for such a sacred mission.]

Rewriting Blackarachnia’s and Sentinel’s Characters:

I want to try and see if I can make them a bit more redeemable then in canon...

Archa 7:

Instead of going to a forbidden planet for fun and potential fame, Archa 7 was Optimus’, Sentinel’s and Elita’s 1st mission as Autobot Elite Guard Primes.

(Also, Optimus and Elita have crushes on each other and Sentinel was trying to get them together...) 

Everything basically went as disastrously as in canon. 

Sentinel still blamed Optimus for what happened cause Optimus was the leader and leaders are supposed to protect all their teammates and friends. 

Even though what happened wasn’t truly Optimus’ fault, cause he was forced to make a hard decision in order to save Sentinel and Ultra Magnus knew this.

But Optimus felt so guilty about what happened, that he quits being in the Elite Guard, cause it didn’t feel right to have his dream... if he couldn’t share it with Elita and Sentinel.

Ultra Magnus decides to give Optimus a job in Spacebridge Repairs instead. 

Transform and Roll Out: 

When Blackarachnia/Elita joins the Decepticons as a scientist, she is uncomfortable with the idea of experimenting or permanently changing others, even if they give her their consent. 

Blackarachnia actually feels guilty for what she accidentally did to Blitzwing, but unlike in canon, Blitzwing doesn’t hold a grudge. 

She’s still a snarky spider. 

Autoboot Camp:

Sentinel is still a jerk and an organic racist, but not as bad as in canon and he’s a bit smarter too.

When Longarm (instead of Bumblebee) accused Wasp of being a Decepticon and had flimsy evidence, Sentinel wanted to investigate to be sure if this was true. 

So, Longarm/Shockwave was forced to plant stronger evidence against Wasp, which leads to Wasp’s arrest. 

Bumblebee was so sad and angry over nobody believing Wasp is innocent (in this version, Bee and Wasp are brothers that cared about each other) that he quits the camp, cause he doesn’t want to be in the Elite Guard without Wasp and Bulkhead joins him. 

Along Came A Spider: 

Blackarachnia/Elita still blames Optimus and Sentinel for what happened to her, but doesn’t hold as big of a grudge as in canon.

She even offers Optimus chances to join the Decepticons and tries to convince him by saying things like, “The Autobots don’t care about us, cause we’re not perfect to them... so, why should we care about them?” 

Blackarachnia and Optimus are both constantly trying to convince the other to join their side. 

Blackarachnia also kinda cares about Sari Sumdac.

When Blackarachnia uses the Allspark Key to try curing herself and sees that it was draining the life out of Sari and all the organics in Detroit, Blackarachnia is horrified by all of this and tries to pull the Key out, but she can't cause she’s weakened and Optimus had to help her. 

Megatron Rising:

Instead of trying to trick Sari for the Key, Blackarachnia goes out of her way to comfort Sari over Optimus not trusting her anymore. 

The Elite Guard/The Return Of The Headmaster/Mission Accomplished: 

Everything with Sentinel in these episodes is more or less the same, except he takes the threat of Decepticons showing up on Earth more seriously. 

Black Friday/Predacons Rising: 

Blackarachnia actually cares about the Dinobots and empathizes with them about being outcastes of society. 

Instead of flirting with them, she acts motherly/protective towards them and they all love it, especially Grimlock. 

She doesn’t poison Bumblebee and Prowl, but instead asks Optimus to team up with Grimlock to find the modulator that could hopefully cure her. 

She adopts Wasp later on and at first she didn’t want to turn him into Waspinator, but Wasp insisted. 

When Sentinel reunites with Blackarachnia, he still thinks her organic form is horrible, but he doesn’t want to kill her and instead wants to help cure her. 

But Blackarachnia rejects his help and refuses to trust Sentinel, especially with his racist comments. 

Eventually, Optimus convinces Blackarachnia to at least join his team, if she can’t trust the Autobots as a whole. 

Optimus teaches Blackarachnia to love herself again and Optimus finally teaches Sentinel some manners. 

After the final battle (which Prowl survives), Blackarachnia completely forgives Optimus and Sentinel, while Sentinel and Optimus forgive each other.

They’re all finally friends again! 

🕸🕷🕸

... So, how did I do?

Aladdin-esk AU

So, I curse myself for this idea cause I already have so many but here you all go. So! Aladdin-esk AU in which it’s set more in a traditional fairy tale/European like kingdom VS the desert, Magic/Trolls/ect. still exist in this and Jim (our Aladdin) has been living on the streets with his bestie Toby and their pet Gnome. Chompsky, for a while doing whatever they can to survive. (No idea what happened to Barbra and Nana). 

Claire and her family are the rulers and she’s been kept in the castle practically her whole life after some incident that turned her parents super over protective. And of course she’s of age to be married. Obviously she doesn’t want to marry someone she met/wants to marry someone she loves but she also wants the chance to see the world/live her dreams. She also wants to be able to able to practice magic in the open rather than in secret. (Darci and Zoe are her handmaidens and Zoe’s been the one to teach her what she can about magic)

Angor Rot is Jafar in this. Not sure how he’s the trusted advisor but maybe he’s using some form of magic to disguise who/what he is. Or he’s human and turns trollish during his wishes, again not sure but he seemed the best choice for Jafar. Also maybe NotEnrique is Iago but secretly bonded with Claire so he’s kind of a double agent? I donno

Now of course Angor wants to take over the kingdom but he needs the magic lamp to do so but of course he needs the ‘Diamond in the Rough’ (Jim) and as he’s planning how to find/capture him, Claire does her sneaking out of the castle and meets Jim and Toby. (Jim of course falls for her quickly) It doesn’t last long however and Jim gets captured (Possibly Toby too? Of he manages to escape and tries to free Jim later) Angor tells Claire he’s had Jim killed and then goes to trick him into getting the lamp for him. He possibly even threatens Toby’s life if Jim doesn’t (cause only one may enter the cave) so Jim (and Chompsky) go looking.

They find the lamp but also find evidence that it’s been guarded by a dragon. Jim tries to work quickly to get it before the dragon returns from where it is but Chompsky touches treasure he shouldn’t and they make a made dash to the exit, conveniently being saved by the dragon (Or is it a cat? Whatever it is, it’s not as fearsome as Jim feared). However, Angor double crosses them, tosses both boys into the cave and thinks he’s gotten the lamp, only to discover that somehow it’s gone. 

The boys are now stuck in this cave with their gnome and this weird talking cat-dragon and unsure what to do when Chompsky reveals he’s taken the lamp. The cat-dragon, Archie’s his name, encourages Jim to rub it and out comes, you guessed it, Douxie!

Douxie’s our genie but no ordinary genie as he was once a wizard but some curse cast by someone trapped in the lamp. He’s been stuck there for over 900 years without his familiar by his side and forced to grant wishes like a real genie. After Jim and Toby trick him to get them out of the cave (or Douxie let’s them trick him) Jim and Toby debate what to do. In the end Jim decides to wish to become a prince in order to woo Claire and the whole entourage makes a big entrance. (Douxie and Toby pose as Jim’s attendants, Chompsky maybe turned into something like Abu was and Archie helps too)

Angor is suspicious of course, Jim kind of fumbles the first meeting (D: In over a thousand years I have never been more embarrassed.) Toby sees Darci for the first time and like Jim falls instantly, Douxie is pleasantly surprised to see Zoe but hides it well until he can get away to talk with her) A ball is arranged to welcome Jim and co and Douxie has to magically help Jim dance which may or may not work out for Jim (but bonus Douxie gets to dance with Zoe) After more flubbing, Jim goes to talk to Claire as Toby distracts Darci and more Zouxie happens.

After Jim and Claire have their outing/fall more in love, Jim is captured/shoved into the ocean to drown but luckily Douxie’s able to save him at the cost of the second wish. After they revel Angor for being evil, he plots on how to steal the lamp which is helped by Jim alienating his friends cause he refuses to tell Claire the truth/he thinks he can’t do this without having his third wish nearby (even though he promised Douxie he’d set him free after the first two). Angor takes over, a lot of things happen that I haven’t really figured out but I want Claire to reveal her magic at some point, Archie rescues the boys wherever they were yeeted too and Jim tricks Angor into becoming a genie.

And of course as everything starts to settles down Douxie offers to change Jim back to a prince but of course Jim sets him free. (Queue happy Zouxie and Archie, Douxie revealing his staff that he hasn’t seen since he was cursed). Claire parents of course then give her permission/negate that old law that she has to marry a prince and she chose Jim. They get married, Toby gets a job in the palace and gets to be with Darci and Douxie/Zoe and Archie set off to see the world (and Douxie promises to help Claire with her magic whenever they drop by) So happily ever after for everyone!

......This got away from me.

I know that considering (TCW-2008) refs/characters in this episode that it won’t be your fav but can you please share your child development thoughts for S02E05 please??

They may have been stuff I wasn’t fond of but there were so many cute Baby & Dad moments to make up for it!!

First of all, the puppeteers deserves ALL THE AWARDS for bringing Baby Yoda to life!  Not just making Baby “come alive” in general, but also that sort-of-awkward way children move when they don’t have complete confidence in their limbs yet.  The are doing a phenomenal job this season and I hope they are all safe and healthy and have all the chocolate they want.  Not only is it fantastic from a special effects perspective, it really highlights how far Baby has come now that he’s not stuck in a pod all day and implies that Din is trying to keep him active and physically healthy, and giving him opportunities to develop his muscles and muscle control.  (Just imagine them playing a makeshift game of chase through the Razor Crest!)

I absolutely loved Din saying “Hey, what did I tell you” because I have said those exact words in that exact tone SO MANY TIMES and also his Dad Voice is getting so much better!  Baby actually listens to him and understands that Din expects him to listen!  Of course he still wants the ball (and apparently takes it enough that Din has been practicing his Dad voice on that too, “What did I say about that” is another phrase I also use at work).

Though there may have been another reason he wants the ball this time - as a comfort item, like a child bringing their favorite stuffie to the first day of school.  Baby was there when the Armorer told Din to find Jedi to bring the Baby to.  He has been listening a lot when Din talks about finding Jedi to train him and give him to.  I think Baby is very, very aware of the fact that the end goal is to leave him with the Jedi and is very afraid of leaving his beloved father.  He would’ve had stable caretaker(s) at the Jedi Temple but in the last twenty years who knows what’s happened to him.  His subdued, don’t-draw-attention-to-myself behavior in Season 1 definitely makes me think he’s been neglected, bare minimum, and possibly abused.  Din not only treats him kindly but actually takes care of his needs, is kind to him, and is the most stable presence in his life.  Of course he’d be terrified to leave him!

I think that’s also why he doesn’t play ball with Ahsoka, so to speak.  We all know he can lift a mudhorn, a rock is no problem for him.  He could do it in a heartbeat.  But I think he understood that if he showed off for her, Ahsoka might take him away.  So he refused for that, and because it’s very common at that age to refuse to do something to regain control of a situation.  (That’s why you get kids enjoying telling you “No!” and the whole terrible twos thing.)  If he refuses, he stays in control of what’s happening.  But of course Din knows exactly how to tempt him with his favorite ball, and kids do want to please adults they like.  Anything to hear that sweet, sweet positive reinforcement.  So it wasn’t just the shiny ball that convinced Baby - it was the fact that Din was the one playing with him, and that Din so enthusiastically tells him good job.  (And Din is noticeably more into it when using the orb.  Maybe he and Baby have played with it before?  So it’s more natural to both of them.  And he was truly so proud of his boy!!  It was adorable.)

It’s the same with hearing his real name, which he presumably hasn’t heard in twenty years.  He responds when Ahsoka says it, but when Din says it?  He’s instantly turned around, ears perked all the way up in “happy” mode.  It’s special when Din says it, because Din is special to him.

Which then ties into the whole attachment thing.  Baby is very healthily attached to Din.  There’s a reason we stick kids with the same teacher for a year plus at a time, it’s because kids are comfortable with a regular person they can get to know, just like adults are.  To Baby, Ahsoka is just some orange stranger and Din is his dad.  Of course he is more attached to Din and has fears over losing him, especially if he’s been deprived of that for the last 20-odd years!  It’d be different if Din was sticking around to transition Baby somewhere new, or just dropping him off for lessons.  But leaving a parent permanently and abruptly after likely previous trauma?  That would be horrible for Baby.

And re: The Jedi + attachments Ahsoka (and Filoni) are wrong on that.  The Jedi do not forbid attachments, only letting your attachments rule you.  Ki-Adi-Mundi is married and so were others, and there are plenty of Padawan-Master relationships to see - for example, Obi-Wan was attached to Qui-Gon and clearly loved him and was devastated by his loss, but it’s only when he conquers his emotions and calms himself is he able to defeat Maul, and afterward is implied/shown to mourn Qui-Gon and handle his grief in a healthy way.  Anakin doesn’t fall because he’s attached to his loved ones.  He falls because he’s willing to commit murder and genocide over his attachments.  So “I can’t teach Grogu because he’s attached to you” is bullshit.  “I can’t teach Grogu because he is attached to you and needs to be safely transitioned into Jedi life in an environment that is comfortable and safe for him, with your help as his adoptive father, and I have no way to do that here and/or don’t feel comfortable doing that” is much more accurate.  (This is probably what would’ve happened if the Order was still around, anyway, and/or how he was actually taken in - the 3D TCW episode with the Jedi children shows the bounty hunters tricking the parents to kidnap the kids, implying that a real Jedi would work with the family to transition the children in a safe and healthy manner.  The Rodian even says the Jedi have already spoken to her iirc.)

Of course even if Grogu is unhealthily attached to Din (which he isn’t, imo, he behaves like a child at a normal level of attachment to a regular caretaker he loves) then ignoring it and not doing anything about it is equally bad.... as we’ve already seen when he got upset with Cara last season.  Baby must learn to control his powers so he doesn’t hurt himself or others, especially since he’s so young he doesn’t always have full control over his own emotions.  “Big” emotions can be a lot for a kid; a screaming meltdown is bad enough when the kid can’t yeet you with their mind.  I’ve been hit, kicked, bitten, scratched, had toys thrown at me, even been hit with heavy wooden blocks.  A Grogu out of control with his emotions and using the Force?  Terrifying.  Yes, his attachment to Din makes him more vulnerable to his fears and anger - we’ve seen him choke Cara and while he only held back the mudhorn, in theory he could’ve done more.  But that is just all the more reason to teach him control.  Ignore harmful behavior and it will only get worse, and Din isn’t really equipped to help him navigate that since Din doesn’t understand the Force and can’t understand what Grogu says.

(Also lol at “He doesn’t understand” “He does.”  You can 100% tell when kids understand you perfectly and are refusing to do it, even when a parent is making excuses for their darling. xD  Especially since kids will frequently act/react differently to their parents versus other caretakers.)

“He’s hidden his abilities to survive over the years” I call partial bullshit on that.  No, I don’t think Baby has done any long-term planning or had thoughts along the lines of “I’m being hunted and need to protect myself by pretending not to be a Force-user.”  But I think he has probably figured out people react a certain way when he does Force things and perhaps decided “I shouldn’t make things float because then people will grab me/I will get taken away/other consequence I don’t like will happen.”  That’s more in line with a toddler’s level of thinking/comprehension.  And it adds greater weight to him saving Din from the mudhorn - he didn’t know how Din would react to him using the Force, if Din would try and hurt him or lock him in the pod or whatever, but he still wanted to save Din.  Overall though I think Baby’s Force-use is in line with a toddler’s thoughts.  “I want X to happen, I can make that happen with the Force, so I will make X happen unless I’m more scared of [consequence] happening.”

So overall a pretty revealing episode for Baby/Grogu.  (I’m not used to the new name yet tbh.)  Although I’m worried about how many times it will take Din hearing it to realize that yes, you are this baby’s father, get that through your beskar-plated skull.

We have known about the vampires in this town for a long time now.

Our whole way of living is sort of built around it, actually. The whole water supply is holy water – the water in our taps, in our pools, in our fire hydrants. I've always thought if I had to kill a vampire I'd want to do it with a fire hydrant. You have to think about these things, you know. They teach you in school: wear a cross, carry a stake, hang garlic over your door. Never invite someone into your home unless you are certain you can trust them. And for God's sake, don't go walking alone after dark without some kind of weapon handy.

Things happen, of course. Things are always happening. People will just quietly disappear – most of the time the bodies are never recovered – and although it can't technically be said for certain just what happened, everyone knows. And then they talk. In hushed voices, in places where the family of the deceased – sorry, the "missing, presumed dead" – can't hear them, they talk. She must have done something wrong, they whisper. If she had just worn a cross like she was supposed to, if she had just stayed inside after dark, this would never have happened. Stupid girl – this was always bound to happen to her.

We all grew up watching those same vampire movies as everyone else. Dracula, Nosferatu, even Twilight. Let me tell you something: vampires don't sparkle. There is no sure way to identify a vampire until it's too late. Until there's no time to reach for that stake that you always keep in your purse, that if you could just get to it, maybe you could save yourself, fuck, where is it, where is your purse – there's no time for that. You're already dead.

Although I grew up knowing about the vampires, constantly hearing warnings and rules and stories, I didn't see one (not knowingly, at least) until I was twenty. At this point, although I knew theoretically that I could be attacked on any given day and it was important to be prepared, subconsciously I had begun to believe that it was never going to happen to me. I'd never so much as glimpsed a vampire in two decades, and everyone just droned about them constantly. Surely, if it were going to happen, it would have happened by now.

So, as I cooked a romantic dinner for myself and my boyfriend of three months, the threat of vampires seemed as distant as the possibility of an anvil falling out of the sky and crushing me to death. I was gearing myself up to tell him I loved him for the first time; I was not a romantic person by nature, but things had been going really well so far, so I wanted to make an effort. That effort also included making coq au vin and, in the interest of staying as kissable as possible, omitting the two cloves of garlic which the recipe called for.

That particular evening was one of the darkest and rainiest I had seen in some time, so when my boyfriend showed up twenty minutes late and apologizing profusely, I just told him not to worry, and ushered him in out of the rain.

"Why don't you take a shower while I get dinner on the table?" I suggested. "I can give you a pair of sweatpants and a t shirt." I wasn't really sure my clothes would fit him, but he was soaking and shivering, and he took me up on my offer right away. At worst, I got to see him in a too-tight shirt, right?

I gave him the biggest t shirt and sweatpants I owned, and I set about pouring wine and dishing up soup. In the interest of both warmth and atmosphere, I dug out just about every candle I owned – which, to be fair, was only a handful – and set them on the coffee table, where we could admire them without the smell mingling with the scent of the food. By the time everything was ready, he was back, wearing my sweats and shirt. They fit him better than I would have guessed, but he was still clearly uncomfortable, frowning and tugging at the shirt hem to stop it from riding up. It wasn't exactly the start I had pictured to our perfect romantic night, but hey, if something had to go wrong, this didn't seem so bad, right?

"You look cute." I said, grabbing his hand away from his hem and squeezing it in both of mine. "Come on, Griff, let's just have some dinner."

Griff gave me what might have been a forced smile, and sat down. "Thanks for making this."

"Happy to." I smiled back and took my seat across from him. I decided to wait until his mood improved a little before I sprang the whole "I love you" thing on him. I didn't want to freak him out.

We ate mostly in silence, and I regretted not thinking of a romantic soundtrack to put on. By the time we finished, I was desperate for some kind of noise – or just something to take the sullen expression off of Griff's face – so I suggested we watch a movie. We settled on The Hangover; again, not exactly how I had hoped the evening would go, but whatever made Griff happy.

It didn't take long for his attention to wander away from watching the movie and towards kissing me, which was all fine as far as I was concerned. Good thing I'd left out that garlic, right? I closed my eyes and leaned into the kiss, trying to parse whether this was the right moment to tell him. Before I could decide, however, he suddenly sprang away from me with a gasp.

When I opened my eyes, it was obvious what had happened, but my brain refused to register it. That burn mark in the shape of a cross had been there before I leaned towards him, hadn't it? It wasn't from my cross, the one I always wore around my neck, was it? It wasn't from any cross, of course not, my eyes were playing tricks on me.

I wish I hadn't wasted precious seconds processing all of this. Maybe I could have done something, said something, at least moved, before he was tearing the cross off of my neck with another pained yelp and leaning back over me. The jig was up now, and it was clear that unlike me, he wasn't wasting any time.

I wish also that I could say I survived through some great, heroic moment, but that's not what happened. I just sat there, shellshocked, until his mouth reached my neck and he began to bite – and then my body seemed to act of its own volition, thrusting him away from me with both hands. This caught him off guard, and he fell backwards, landing directly on top of every candle I owned. His shirt – my shirt – caught fire, and he dashed out the door into the rain.

At the very least, I can say that I made the conscious decision to lock the door, and then barricade it with a table. That's about all I managed to do before collapsing on the couch, back into the same spot I had been just minutes beforehand, and burst into tears. I didn't even bother trying to stop the blood leeching from my neck; I just cried until at some point I eventually fell asleep.

They taught us so much about preventing vampire attacks that it never even occurred to me before that moment that I had never been taught what to do if one did take place. Maybe it was assumed that if you got attacked by a vampire, you weren't surviving. Still, that seemed to nullify the point of carrying stakes and wearing crosses and blessing the water and whatnot. Maybe it was because everyone in this town seemed to believe that if you got attacked by a vampire, it was your fault – if you were smart, you wouldn't be out after dark in the first place, now would you?

Except I wasn't out after dark. I was wearing a cross. I survived. And now I had to continue surviving with no idea how to proceed. I couldn't ask anyone, either – even if they didn't lecture me to my face, surely they would whisper about me behind my back. Stupid girl, didn't even realize her own boyfriend was a vampire. What was she doing, inviting him into the house, when he clearly wasn't trustworthy? She should have known better.

For days, I stayed in my apartment, afraid to go out. I showered, with holy water, of course – except, weeks later, it dawned on me that Griff should have been hurt by the holy water. So, what was the truth? Was holy water not really an effective weapon against vampires, as we had always been taught, or was the water we had always been told was holy not really holy at all?

I did the best to cover the wound on my neck with makeup and collared shirts. There was no one there to see it, but I couldn't bear to look at it, and when it wasn't covered, I couldn't stop. I'd just stand in front of the mirror and stare at my neck, thinking of everything I should have done differently. Still, I was alive, wasn't I?

Wasn't I?

The first time I went out, it was to gather supplies: more stakes, more crosses, more garlic. Matches, bottles, spirits, and rags. Knives, too, although I didn't know if they would help or not. I wasn't really sure what I knew anymore.

The second time I went out, it was to hunt. No more being shocked, no more being attacked in my own home. I was taking the fight to them. After all, what was the point in trying to stay somewhere safe if nowhere was safe? What was the point in following the rules if they weren't going to protect me?

The vampires in this town have known about us for a long time now. What started as a solo effort has now grown into a small movement, which I'm proud to say consists of several people whom I saved from vampires. People who, like me, had no instructions on how to proceed – except for the ones that I gave them.

Of course, they've had time to prepare now. They protect their hearts more carefully, they don't reveal that they're vampires until they're alone with a victim, they even carry what I assume is non-holy water to put out any fires we might start. Often, our efforts feel futile; sometimes I'll go hunting several times and not come across anyone I can say for certain is a vampire. It's hard to know for sure if I'm making the right call. Sometimes it feels as if I am making no difference at all, as if I am still sitting on the couch doing nothing.

Still, things happen.

Willie Headcanons

So I actually came up with this like a month ago and forgot to post it. Anyway enjoy my headcanons about our favorite sk8er boi. Be ready for feels.

Tw: death, car accident mention, emotional manipulation.

...

In my mind, Willie had a good relationship with his parents. They were supportive and everything. They both loved Willie very much.

And Willie has youngest child energy so I’m saying he has a sister who’s 2 years older and a brother who’s 5 years older. Their names are Delilah and Austin.

AND ALL THREE OF THEM ARE ADRENALINE JUNKIES.

Seriously imagine the worst possible combination of head empty only skateboarding and you’ve got Willie, Delilah, and Austin.

Austin started skating when he was 7 and got Delilah hooked on it a year later.

Their parents kinda didn’t like the idea of it but those two had already started teaching Willie basic stuff by the time he was 3.

But... the other two had other interests. Delilah was into art (painting) and Austin played piano (like, really well).

For Willie, skateboarding was his thing. And it always was.

He had fun with it when his big brother would put his hands on his and teach him to play a bit, or his sister would give him some paint and a spare canvas and they’d doodle together, but it wasn’t like skating.

As far as I’ve seen (which admittedly isn’t that far) it’s widely accepted that Willie has ADHD so I’m leaning into that here.

And Willie inherited his brain from his dad, who had a bad experience with meds and so wouldn’t let any of his kids go through it.

So Willie grew up unmedicated but probably better off for the time period. His dad taught him coping mechanisms. Him and Austin. Delilah didn’t inherit it but she was taught to empathize with her brothers and recognize when they needed her help with something.

She’s a badass who can and does beat up anybody who’s mean to her brothers for missing social cues.

But anyway while Austin had piano (and skating as a side thing) Willie got even more hooked on skateboarding than either of his siblings because his brain latched onto it from a young age and couldn’t let go.

We all have our outlets. The chaos in our brains has to go somewhere. For Willie it goes into skating.

When he’s young he and his siblings will skateboard to school and then after school they’ll skate all around Hollywood for hours.

They do their homework in random McDonalds and Denny’s and tbh become local cryptid customers. Like they’re just these 3 super friendly skater siblings who tip really well and visit every fast food place within a 20 mile radius of their house with varying frequency.

They also find e v e r y skatepark, empty pool, and vacant lot in that 20 mile radius that they can possibly find.

Their parents have to bail them out of jail for trespassing and the occasional vandalism every so often.

Sometimes one of them has stuff to do and it’s just two of them out skating but if two of them are busy the other one never goes out alone cause it’s dangerous. We’ll get back to that later.

So anyway when they’re 17, 14, and 12, Delilah comes out as a lesbian.

And the family is supportive of course because they’re a good family.

But her coming out gets Willie thinking. About how some of his friends have crushes on girls but he just... doesn’t see the appeal.

Like he has a couple friends who are girls and they’re great and he likes hanging out with them at recess but he doesn’t get the hype. They’re just more friends. So he doesn’t really see what his big sister is so interested in either.

In my mind Willie actually is from around the same time as the boys (dying in like 1999) so one day while nobody else in their house is home he and Delilah are watching Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Willie’s again wondering why people think Leia is so hot cause she’s cool and all but Luke is right there and he looks really good and—

Willie: I think I might be gay.

Delilah: Yeah I know.

They talk about it and Willie does decide to tell the rest of the family but he’s a bit wary about anyone else because he saw how some of Delilah’s friends turned on her after she came out. He doesn’t want that to happen to him.

He does end up telling a few of his friends but he doesn’t quite not care what people think of him the way his big sister does.

Austin is the only straight one and he’s like. So awkward about it but in a sweet way.

Austin: So, Britney Spears is hot, right?

Delilah: Stop.

And

Austin: So I saw you hanging around Chris the other day are you two..?

Willie: ...no...???

Austin: Cool, yeah I didn’t think so. Just had to make sure. Not that I’m doubting your ability to get boys but I’d have to shovel talk him if you were.

Willie: If I ever do get a boyfriend, please don’t.

He tries. He’s a himbo if that wasn’t clear. Where did you think Willie learned it?

So anyway fast forward a couple years and they’re 22, 19, and 17. Austin and Delilah are both in college and Willie’s the last one left at home and things between their parents start getting... tense.

Like they don’t fight exactly but they’ve fallen out of love and things are awkward.

Even Austin and Delilah can tell and they’re only home on breaks and some weekends but for Willie it’s right there and he’s watching it happen. He has no option but to see.

They used to have a rule that they don’t go skating alone because it’s dangerous but Willie just can’t make himself stay home so he goes out skateboarding.

At first it’s never too far from home or anywhere where there’s too much traffic but as things get increasingly awkward at home he goes out farther and farther, chasing the adrenaline high he used to get from going anywhere and everywhere every day after school with his siblings.

Then his parents officially tell him they’re getting divorced and

And it’s not like he couldn’t see it coming, but... it still hurts.

And neither of his siblings are coming home any time soon so

So he goes out skating on his own, way too far from home. He keeps going until he doesn’t even know where he is anymore.

He isn’t really paying attention the way he should but that’s not why he runs into trouble.

The driver of that red pickup is drunk and he rounds the corner out of nowhere.

If Delilah or Austin had been there they could have yelled for Willie to jump out of the way, or maybe up on the hood so the impact wouldn’t be as bad, but he’s alone.

So he gets hit, and the car was going fast enough that he’s dead before he even hits the pavement.

After that there’s a lot of confusion but once Willie figures out he’s a ghost... it’s too painful to think about going home, so he just... doesn’t.

He doesn’t want to see his family mourning him, so he just distracts himself, skating everywhere he couldn’t before without getting busted.

Plus some old routes where he used to go with Delilah and Austin, just for something that’s familiar but not too familiar.

He’s on one of those more familiar routes a few weeks after his death when he’s skating down Sunset Boulevard one night, singing along to Toxic by Britney Spears blasting from a nearby club and a man dressed in a purple suit comments on how he’s got a good voice.

Honestly Willie is just so relieved to have someone to talk to that he forgets about stranger danger completely.

Plus he recognizes an Elder Gay in Caleb and assumes he can trust him because the Elder Gays he met at pride that one time he went with Delilah were so nice and understanding of how reassuring it was to see queer people of older generations who got a happy ending.

Caleb barely even has to try. He just lets this 17-year-old obviously-queer ghost rant at him for a few minutes, asks a few questions and finds out that he also can play piano, and convinces him to come to the Hollywood Ghost Club the next night.

From there it’s not like Willie has anyone to save him so of course he has to join the club.

At first he’s completely alone because the other performers scare him almost as much as Caleb does.

Then slowly, he sees how they give him space because they know he’s scared of them. How they turn a blind eye when he leaves the club without permission. How they don’t critique his mistakes with the same sarcasm they show each other.

Willie starts to realize that the other performers are doing their best to look out for him, and he starts being less afraid.

They’re all too concerned with their own survival to really protect him but if they draw some attention to themselves occasionally so Caleb doesn’t notice Willie being slow to pick up some tricky choreography, that’s not too risky.

The others are all like 21 at the youngest and they really don’t appreciate Caleb tricking a literal child into working for him no matter how talented said child is. (Cause Willie is good at singing and piano. It’s just not his passion.)

The twins are 22 but they died in 1925 and before that they were performing to support a younger brother who they never got to say goodbye to so maybe they see Willie as a kind of second chance.

Lyssa (what I decided to name drummer woman because I don’t know her real name if she has one) is 25 and she died in 1984. She had a daughter who’d be about Willie’s age now and... who knows? Maybe they were friends.

Fuego is 24 and from 1951 and he had a childhood best friend who enlisted and died in WWII that he thought he might get to see when he died but that boy moved on and so... well, Willie’s just a little younger than his friend was the last time he saw him.

In short Willie becomes everyone’s baby brother and they do what they can to look out for him even if they’re just as scared of Caleb as he is.

And the better adjusted Willie gets to (after)life at the HGC and the better they get to know him, the guiltier the others start to feel about him being stuck there.

Eventually a combination of guilt and worked-up courage leads Fuego tells him about the whole unfinished business thing, in hopes maybe he can figure his out and get away from Caleb.

It doesn’t take Willie long to think of his family, how hopeless he felt about the divorce, how worried he was it would change everything and then how scared he was to see his family in pain because of his death.

He realizes his unfinished business is probably seeing them. Letting himself say goodbye.

He almost gets away with it.

Caleb catches up and stops him in the driveway of his house and poofs them back to the HGC.

He convinces (gaslights) Willie into believing that saying goodbye was never his unfinished business and even if it was it’s not like it would matter because Caleb wouldn’t let him do it.

The next morning he ships the HGC out to Tokyo. They stay on the move for a long time and when they are in town, Willie is basically locked in his room.

The next time he’s allowed out in Hollywood, his parents don’t live in their old house anymore and he has no way to find them.

As a coping mechanism, he just starts making the best of a bad situation. Becoming better friends with the other ghosts. Helping soften the blow whenever someone new comes along.

None of that means he stops checking the faces of passing skaters or keeping eyes on restaurants his folks used to like, but it does mean he more or less gives up hope.

That’s what he’s doing when he bumps into Alex.

Look, Willie loves his friends at the HGC. He really does. But there’s a big difference between 17 and 20-something. Like the others will drink alcohol some nights and technically Willie was born over 21 years ago but he still feels weird enough about it that he doesn’t drink.

He hasn’t talked to anyone his age in a long time so Alex is a breath of fresh air.

Also he’s like. Really cute. And sweet. And funny. And shit, Willie’s fallen for him before he even has time to think about it.

He keeps thinking about how Alex doesn’t seem like he’d be physically capable of hurting someone on purpose so Austin would approve and every once in a while there’s that sarcasm that pops out which means he’d get along great with Delilah.

In general Alex is the kind of guy he would’ve loved to take home to meet the family. Them not included, he’s kind of... everything Willie’s missed about Hollywood in the form of one person.

Then they hang out more and Alex is still everything he’s missed but he’s also so much more than that and...

It almost feels like a part of Alex is still alive. And for the first time in years, a part of Willie feels alive, too.

They’ve known each other for like a week tops and Willie is already in love.

Not that he’s admitting that to anyone, because he’s learned the hard way that anyone you care about can be used against you.

Still... when Alex asks for help getting revenge on Bobby, he can’t bring himself to say no because he needs to keep Alex in his (after)life and the only way he knows how to do that (or to make people be nice to him in general) is to be as useful as possible.

That turns out to be a big mistake, because Caleb sees right through him in an instant, targets Alex to confirm it, then immediately starts the process to trick the boys into committing to eternity at the HGC.

Willie feels like an idiot for thinking he could actually get away with it. Doing something good for someone he cares about.

He hadn’t thought Caleb would be interested in them because he’d never actually heard them play. The assumption was that he’d make them do some small favor and then let them talk to their bandmate for 5 minutes. A clean deal where they never have to commit to anything. Willie forgot to take magic into account.

He almost manages to convince himself it was all a bad dream, but when he seeks out Alex and his friends to check on them, he can almost feel the jolts himself, and seeing Alexthem in pain feels terrible.

Willie knows that theoretically they could figure out their unfinished business and cross over, but that all depends on finding it and doing it fast enough and if they failed...

People you care about can be used against you. And Willie does not want to be used against Alex again. He doesn’t want to see Alex used against him.

So he keeps his distance, in hopes Caleb will think he lost interest. He’s pretty sure once the boys find out about the stamp they’ll hate him, anyway.

And plus, as he’s been taught by his friends at the HGC, you have to look out for yourself because no one else will do it for you. Maybe you hurt somebody by not standing up for them, but you can apologize later and hope they forgive you. You can’t apologize if you’re gone, and it’s not like it would make a difference anyway because Caleb is too powerful for anyone to beat.

The thought of how spending eternity with Alex might not be so bad even if it has to be at the HGC does come up, but ironically that’s what makes Willie decide to screw his courage to the sticking point and tell them.

Because he has seen what decades at the club has done to his friends.

They’re all great performers, and they perform happiness well even to each other, but Willie knows them enough to know how tired they all are. How they have been doing the same thing over and over again for decades and they are sick of it.

They’re young, talented tragedies lost to drug overdoses, or AIDS, or accidents, or suicide, and they should’ve gotten to rest after everything they went through in their lives. Instead, they got a curse disguised as a blessing. They got to stay on a stage, got to keep performing and soaking up applause, never got to stop.

Willie has been there a shorter time than most of them and he feels it. The exhaustion, because ghosts are supposed to haunt for a few years then figure out their unfinished business and move on. They’re not meant to be trapped for decades, used as party tricks.

A part of Alex still feels alive and being trapped in the Hollywood Ghost Club for years on end would kill that part of him.

Willie can’t let that happen, so as hard as it is...

He tells the boys what’s wrong with them. And by that hurt, betrayed look in Alex’s eyes, he’s honestly expecting him to never forgive him.

But then Alex does. And that almost hurts worse because whether he figures out his unfinished business or not, Willie doubts he’s ever going to see him again.

He honest to God almost cries when Alex hugs him because... shit, he hasn’t gotten a hug since he was breathing.

He goes back to the HGC and tries to go about his day, and keeps replaying how good it felt to have Alex’s arms around him, hoping that memory will get him through the next few decades on his own.

The ghosts at the club do actually gossip a fair amount and by this point all of them know about the 3 dead members of Sunset Curve.

So when Willie admits to Helen (what I’m calling one of the twins) that Alex hugging him was the first time he’d gotten a hug since he died, she hugs him tight for a good 20 seconds, telling him she’s sorry he has to lose him, and if Willie closes his eyes he can almost pretend it’s Delilah.

The next thing he knows, he’s locked in a closet.

Caleb comes to talk to (intimidate) him a few hours later, saying he knows what Willie did.

He’s magically locked in his room alone for a couple weeks after that and it’s essentially psychological torture.

Helen, Anna (what I decided to call the other twin), Dante, Fuego, Lyssa, and everyone else tell him not to test Caleb for the next couple years, but Willie has a heart full of love and a head full of fuck it, so he doesn’t listen.

He gives it exactly one day of being/acting scared and obedient, then goes out without permission again, fully intending to scream in a museum alone to let out all his feelings.

Remember: Willie didn’t see the Orpheum performance. He doesn’t know the boys didn’t cross over but by Caleb’s mood he has a feeling the outcome of that scenario was not in the magician’s favor.

He gets there and it’s literally this comic by the very talented @williessweatycherrysocks

He can’t stay long but he and Alex scream in each other’s faces, talk a bit, maybe sing a duet.

After that, they sneak to see each other when they can but don’t get to see much of each other for months.

It’s hard on both of them but they don’t give up on their relationship.

Through long and complicated events which I will outline later, Willie eventually gets free of the HGC, hugs his friends goodbye already making plans to take down Caleb for good to free them, too, and promptly declines an offer to stay in the Molinas’ garage.

As much as he wants to be close to Alex he’s done being confined to one place.

He still comes and visits like every day tho.

He knows a lot more about ghosting than the other boys do so he and Carlos get along amazingly like:

Carlos: So do you know who Jack the Ripper was?

Willie: No? How old do you think I am?

Carlos: I dunno but I thought it might be Caleb cause that would explain how he never got caught.

Willie, taking notes in his Things To Potentially Use To Take Caleb Down notebook: You’re a tiny genius.

No one was expecting it but everyone is in awe of how well he and Carrie get along. Between the two of them they know so much celebrity gossip. (and it’s definitely a good thing he’s on good terms with her cause she and Alex are close)

On the angsty side, Willie also bonds with Nick over how they both know how it feels to be manipulated and used by Caleb.

Also it takes a long time before he’s able to trust him, but he does get adopted into the Molina clan by Ray.

Ray reminds him a lot of his own dad, once Willie’s able to see that he’s nothing like Caleb.

Ray’s honestly just 100% happy to Dad™️ anyone who needs a dad so it works out great once Julie and the boys figure out how to make Willie visible.

But anyway back to important stuff.

Now that they don’t have to hide for any reason, Willie and Alex can both breathe a little easier. Or... they both feel better. Ghosts don’t really breathe.

Willie can finally let himself get used to feeling alive again.

The whole ghost gang goes (invisibly) to the Los Feliz Homecoming dance and maybe it should make him feel a little on-edge with the kind of club-like environment but...

He’s got Alex there, and they’re dancing to some corny pop love song from the 90s that Flynn probably put on because she knew the ghost boys would be there so how could he feel anything but safe?

For a minute it almost feels like actually being alive and there’s yellow and pink and blue lights coming from everywhere reflecting in Alex’s eyes and Willie is suddenly very aware of the fact that though they’ve been together for a long time now, they haven’t had their first kiss.

Then the Cha Cha Slide starts up and the atmosphere switches and Willie totally forgets about the whole romantic tension thing because it’s the Cha Cha Slide everybody has to dance along.

Dirty Candi performs towards the end of the night and the ghost boys cheer the loudest despite how Julie’s laughing at them. They don’t care that Carrie can’t even hear them, they’re being supportive!!!

Everybody screams even louder when Flynn runs up on stage and kisses Carrie and Willie feels a big burst of affection at how Alex shouts ABOUT TIME!

Then he gives Willie a quick hug and leaves cause he and the rest of Julie and the Phantoms have to go get set up for their performance.

Since Alex was able to flip Carrie’s hair in All Eyes on Me I’m saying that ghosts can touch lifers if they focus and believe it will happen hard enough, so the ghost gang has developed a system for alerting their non-Julie lifer friends to their presence.

So while they’re waiting in the crowd Willie taps Carrie on the shoulder like: • - - one short tap, two long taps, a Morse code ‘W’ and Carrie lets Flynn know that he’s there.

(Nick can see him too but Nick’s off somewhere with his date {one of his lacrosse teammates you know the one})

Anyway so Julie goes out and starts up the song and then the rest of the band poofs in but

Something’s unusual.

Cause it’s not Luke on the lower main vocals.

It’s

Alex

Singing while he plays the drums and fucking killing it.

Willie totally bluescreens for a second but then when he actually focuses on the lyrics...

It’s a new song about beating the odds and being with the person you love in spite of the challenges that come with them.

And yeah there are Julie elements in there, (and she’s definitely making heart eyes at Luke even as he sticks to backup vocals) because of course there are since she has to start the song up, but

But Willie might not have any formal music training, but he was at the HGC long enough to know his stuff about music and recognize different artists’ styles.

And there’s a time signature switch on the bridge that’s a little off from how Luke would write it. There’s a swing to the melody that’s a bit more ‘pop’ than the band’s usual songs. Julie’s harmony doesn’t go as high as it normally would, as if whoever wrote the song didn’t have as high of an upper range to work with as she does.

The song is so unmistakably Alex that no one else could have written it.

Flynn and Carrie are quietly making smug comments on what they bet his face looks like right now but Willie’s not listening to them.

On the last chorus, Alex fucking winks at him right before poofing out.

Willie has whiplash like how did they go from him having to psych Alex up to break into a museum even when there’s zero chance of getting caught to Alex openly flirting with him from the stage?

He poofs backstage right as the boys get back from dropping their instruments back in the Molinas’ garage and he honestly doesn’t know what he even wants to say to convey how amazing that performance was.

Then Alex just smiles at him.

Alex: So I take it you liked the song?

Willie: Can I kiss you right now?

They both kinda freeze after he blurts that out and Reggie goes wow really quietly before he and Luke poof out to give them some privacy and whoops now they’re both flustered but

Alex: Wow, didn’t expect that. That’s... um, wow. But yeah.

They kiss and it’s a total romcom moment.

And the story’s far from over, but to Willie this definitely feels like happily ever after.

Okay okay I just read your jaw dropping post about how acotar would be with Nesta Under the Mountain and now I’m curious: does Rhys meets Feyre? Cassian and Nesta’s first encounter, how does it goes like? LUCIEN AND AZRIEL SLOW BURN “STRANGERS” TO LOVERS? Nesta wouldn’t be stupid to let her sisters be kidnapped by Hybern, so how do they get changed into Fae? And DO they get changed? I’ve got a thousands questions now

OKAY YES- Nesta Under the Mountain, acomaf remix:

First, I just want to pause to highlight the chaos factor here. What happens after Amarantha and Tamlin die? Rhysand, bound by magical contract and also Dramatique, nopes out, bringing Lucien and Nesta.

And he’s a mess. It’s relief, it’s half a century of unimaginable torture. He needs a bath. He needs to lay in bed for a week before he speaks to another living person. Instead, he takes them to his moonstone palace.

Does he rest? Plan? Go find his friends who are screaming at his mental shields?

No. He gives Nesta and Lucien rooms, and proceeds to have breakfast with them while flirting with Nesta, so he can pretend everything is fine.

To say Nesta is feeling A Lot is an understatement. She has zero Tamlin murder regrets- and many, many, I came back to life and got kidnapped again regrets. She does take a bath. Washes off the blood, braids her hair, tries not to look at her freaky faery face, looks for clothes. Is unimpressed beyond measure at crop top sheer ensembles, and goes looking for Lucien.

Swathed in turquoise silks, doing that thing where he’s grinning but his eyes are flinty and just waiting for the next attack, he’s no better off. The robe in Nesta’s bathroom was a lace confection- the one in Lucien’s in quilted green silk. Nesta wears that.

Is still wearing it, when they show up to breakfast, Rhysand flirts- and because Nesta is an Archeron, she throws a teacup at his head.

(Lucien, beside her, buttering toast: yeah, that doesn’t work on her)

What really happens in acomaf? Love, trauma journey, betrayal. But Tamlin’s dead- and guess what family promptly sails back across the sea to seize power of Spring? Guess. No one is out here calling Nesta the Savior of Prythian. She’s not the mother, she’s the crone. Women love her, men fear her. She’s not the blessing, she’s the punishment.

Morrigan tracks down Rhys, and this is what she finds: 1 autumn prince, wearing a crop top and acidly explaining that he doesn’t give a single fuck if Spring burns. 1 devastating faery lady wearing nothing but a robe. Rhysand, with tea dripping from his hair.

Tears! Reunion! Nes & Luc, exit stage left faced with Emotions.

Nesta doesn’t need to learn to read- and she doesn’t need Rhysand’s fucking help, as she keeps saying, as he keeps doing nice things for her. Fuck off, she says, fixing her hair with the diamond pins that have mysteriously appeared on top of her book. Do not look at me like that, she threatens, catching him grinning at some insanely offensive thing she’s said about Beron.

Rhys likes Nesta. It’s not willing. Nesta...kind of hates Rhys still. Rhys is also still, A Mess- and Nesta just happens to be the sexy project in front of him. 

You didn’t make a deal for me to be a permanent house guest, she tells him.

Morrigan, to herself, a respectable wlw who, you know, met Nesta in a robe and learned ten seconds later she killed a High Lord as a human: PLEASE STAY FOREVER

Rhysand takes them to Velaris.

Lucien is devastated by the prosperity- Nesta goes straight for Rhysand’s throat- you protected one city? Rhysand says, one city, and four people. It’s the closest Nesta ever comes to respecting him, lasts three seconds. 

It takes one night for Nesta and Lucien to vanish. Dangerous and disconcerting for a few reasons- Prythian is singing songs of Nesta, and they’re songs of destruction. Lucien has a price on his head. 

But they’re not courting danger- they’re over the wall. Nesta knows a war is coming, knows she’s painted a target sky high on her back. She leaves letters for her sisters- she’s alive, she can’t come home, she’s sorry, she loves them, please please please be careful- and they spend ten hours straight setting wards around the slumbering Archeron manner.

With his usual sense of good timing, the next morning is when Rhysand trots out his work for me plan.

Hybern wants a war, and Nesta is a weapon. Lucien, who has been a rapid fire, info dump strength been trying to tell Nesta all the shit she needs to know now that she’s a faery, tells him to go to hell. 

Rhys feigns very much like that was uncalled for, unravels a few more layers of the I’m only bad as a ruse lifestyle before their eyes. 

Nesta more or less ignores him, but explains Lucien’s comment for them both: no fealty. No oaths. No games. No more fucking tattoos.

Rhys, eventually, repeats himself: work for me, I’ll pay you, you don’t need to belong.

Nesta demands a contract. Exact terms. Proof of salary. Tells Rhys, casually, that she killed one High Lord human and she’s perfectly willing to try for a second with immortality on her side.

Nesta and Lucien, private contractors. Nesta and Lucien, who also don’t really believe a word Rhysand says.

But then it’s time for dinner. To meet the Court- Nesta repeats Court of Dreams to Lucien with such lofty disbelief he’s still giggling to himself every few minutes when they get to the House of Wind.

A pause, a step back: Cassian. Cas lost his shit when Nesta died- Cassian felt her come back to life- Cassian, who has never met her, has no idea what that means. He’s been rattled around, feeling more than a little crazy- tense, unfocused, walking the streets of Velaris like he forgot something that can never be found- he also didn’t tell anyone.

Nesta Archeron walks into the House of Wind beside Lucien Vanserra, and everything stops.

It’s Rhysand’s stumbling, lightening struck, immediate oh-shit reaction, just on a very different balcony, with circumstance more different that Cassian allows himself to believe.

There she was. There was what he’d been looking for- there she was, taking a glass of wine out of Lucien’s hand.

There’s no personal story time at this dinner. There’s Cassian, dumbstruck, silent, staring. Azriel, whose good manners kick in and make him speak. Lucien, drinking. Nesta treating it like a business meeting and directly trying to establish what everyone’s jobs are.

(Also Nesta, meeting Amren, recognizing her name from fairytales she read trapped in Tamlin’s house: Do you really drink the blood of men?

Amren: Only very, very bad men who ask nicely.

Nesta’s nod in response took years off Cassian’s life.)

Nesta, child of every court. Nesta, who Rhysand keeps comparing to the Courts universal holy objects while she bites her tongue bloody. Locate, read, utilize, steal- Nesta wants it done now, wants to hamstring Hybern before he can set foot on their island.

But research takes time. So Nesta’s learning to be a faery- and breaking a ridiculous amount of things along the way- Lucien is hanging out in her shadow, free as he’s ever been in his entire adult like but also just waiting, waiting, for the axe to fall.

Everyone thinks they’re sleeping together- more importantly, even if they’re not, they’re In Love.

There’s no weaver in the wood moment- because frankly, Rhysand doesn’t want to risk that Nesta will somehow befriend her. Less Rhys in general, because Nesta doesn’t want to spend all that much time with him. 

Nesta is just in Velaris, waiting for the damn job to start. With Lucien. Sometimes Amren, or Morrigan. Often, extremely often, Cassian.

In canon, when they meet, Cassian is all set up to hate her- she didn’t protect her sister, she’s disloyal she’s- all of these terrible things that have to be proven untrue. That clash, that fighting shapes...basically everything.

This Nesta, he has every reason to admire, and it’s killing him. She saved Prythian- she killed a High Lord with her bare hands and knife Cassian wouldn’t want to use to cut an apple. She’s incredible.

She’s also the unfortunate, perfect receptacle for all of Cassian’s self worth issues. He can’t look away, which means she’s not looking. Of course she loves the son of a High Lord, who fought by her side- they survived together, they’re the same species.

So. He’s just going to quietly, miserably, love her forever. But he doesn’t actually talk to her- this is the only Cassian who has ever been quieter than Az- he just can’t. But he’s always there- passing messages from Rhys. Flying her to the House of Wind. Present. 

So he also ends up around when Lucien and Nesta decide to move on from magic training to physical training. 

And Cassian absolutely falls over himself asking to help. To train her. To make her stronger. To maybe, you know, punch him in the face.

The offering goes as badly as can be imagined, all the wrong words and blushing fury. Insulting. A mess.

Nesta does what Nesta does best. Asks him, you’ve trained how much of your own army? Cassians answer is halting but true- yes, yes the Legion’s are his lifes work.

And look, Nesta is mad at the implied insults to her and Lucien both. She’s also mad this asshole who clearly doesn’t want her here, doing the job she was hired to do and has made that clear with the silent treatment, is now intruding on her personal business.

She gets in his face. I’m not an Illyrian. I’m not a man. I will never be a soldier under your command and I don’t need your help.

(the vicious cultural sexism has, in fact, trickled down to Nesta’s knowledge quite easily. She doesn’t know Cassian’s back story.)

The knife sinks oh, so, fucking deep. Cassian who also, has never learned to back down, doesn’t fuck off. So he’s around, brooding and training himself, while Lucien teaches Nesta evil little tricks and how to move like lightening, to use weapons and magic as one.

Nessian keep fighting. Cassian also keeps finding every even slightly plausible excuse to be in her company-because now she’s looking at him.

So what, if she’ll never love him back? So what, if fucking Lucien Vanserra who flirts with everything that moves somehow earned her loyalty? Cassian is never-will never- judge or undermine her choices. Never.

He just wants to be around. To speak to her every day. So what, if the angst is burning him alive?

Interlude: the Summer Court. Rhys and Nesta go alone. 

Nesta likes Tarquin. Tarquin...is kind of more afraid of Nesta than Rhys. There’s no flirty montage, Nesta goes to hang out with Cresseida. Knows her for about a day, comes to understanding that Cresseida was the one who held Summer together under Amarantha.

Nesta tells Cresseida everything. Hybern’s coming back, they’re already making plays. They want the Cauldron, but control can be stolen with the Book. Rhysand thinks I can read it- all I want is Hybern dead.

It is, in the end, compelling. Helped along by the fact Nesta peppers in that Rhys isn’t going to ask.

There’s a fight, a battle, conditions: in the end Tarquin gives the book to Nesta. Only Nesta. For Rhys, this still works- for the Summer Court, the distinction is important. Nesta Archeron, Cauldron-blessed, the Sword of Prythian, will wield the book.

Not the blessing, the punishment.

Rhys says something very Rhys, and Nesta leaves. They’re winnowing to the same place, she can now, it doesn’t matter- but what matters is this: Nesta goes back to the House of Wind, and runs into Cassian.

She’s just carrying half the book- like that isn’t an insane, miraculous thing, and Cassian congratulates her, without saying anything stupid. 

But then Nesta sprawls down in a window seat, and starts looking at the book.

(Cassian is GOING THROUGH IT. he thought being around her was bad? Knowing she’s in another court where he can’t make sure she’s safe or okay or not having a bad day made him LOSE HIS MIND)

Which is fully what he blames for the fact that Cassian also, does not leave. Crosses his arms. Leans in the doorway like it doesn’t matter. Asks, like a moron, why Nesta isn’t looking for Lucien.

(Cassian to Cassian: SHE WAS GONE DAYS- SHE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT? WHERE IS THE CARE? THE CONCERN? THE- LUCIEN WAS AT A BAR WITH AZRIEL LAST NIGHT)

Nesta: No, I’ll see him later.

Cassian: Reunions...are important. The war is going to come faster than any of us think.

Nesta: I know?? that’s why I just spent a week in fucking sand- I’m doing my job-

Cassian: We all have so little time-

Nesta: You think I don’t know that??

Cassian: I just. I don’t understand- you have options. You have the entire world. You are the entire world, and you deserve-

Nesta: What. Exactly. Do you think I deserve?

Cassian, miserably ferocious: someone waiting when you come home. from battle. from stupid shit Rhys makes you do. You deserve everything.

Nesta, rising from the window seat, walking across the room: You’re here.

Cassian:

Nesta, rolling her eyes as she sweeps past and away: You. Were here. When I got back.

I’m going to cut this here and then post a part two! Thank you so much for asking, stay tuned :)

Dragon and snake and the chaos

Classes went on without a hitch, Lila didn’t returned after the first humiliation. Alya who was still glaring at Marinette despite all that went down, but Marinette ignored her.

 She realized a lot of things now. Like how if they were really her friends then they would never had just believed the liar and started bullying her. If they were really her friends they would have asked her permission and asked for help not demand her to be at their beck and call.

 She needed to talk with Tikki. And about Adrien being chat noir. She needed to take away his miraculous. There is nothing more problematic than her black cat being corrupted because he wasn’t the true cat. She needed to find one. The faster the better.

Lunch time came rather faster and both girls walked out, not before stepping on the foot that sticks out to trip them or rather Marinette. The howl of pain made Kaylan smirk, and wink at the pink haired skater who glared at them.

 Are you not worried that they may become an akuma?

 Marinette became worried when she saw anger on Alix’s face. It was enough to attract akuma.

 I would rather they become akuma when they are angry than to bottle up all the emotions before exploding and become the deadliest akuma.

 Kaylan said pulling the girl out before heading towards the bakery. Stopping in front of stairs, she turned towards the designer.

My mom is a psychiatrist. Well……….more like a freelancer. Um….. She saw all the videos of the recent akuma. That’s the conclusion we came to.

 Marinette nodded and both started towards the bakery.

 The first akuma we faced was so full of negativity that even my mom felt it. As a psychiatrist she know when someone is bottling up negative emotions and she can definitely feel it. It’s like a second nature to her.

 So she told you that the akuma would be weaker if a person was not bottling up the emotion?

 Not exactly but, yes. The nurse that got akumatized……..she came at some point the very same day. My mom gave her a coping mechanism where she can let go of all her emotions and not get akumatized.

 Wait that can happens?

 Kaylan smirked. She looked smug. Was that a valid trick?

 Marinette looked like she wanted to say something but they reached the bakery.

 Mari-hime! It’s good to see you here.

 Ma-ma-Marinette. Your song is rather clear.

Turning they looked at the pair. The girl was Asian descendent. She had short navy bob and sharp brown eyes, that soften up at the sight of the designer but when they turned to Kaylan they turned sharper. She was glaring at her.

 The boy looked older than them. The dye in his hair was more prominent. He looked like a musician with his punk rock style. He looked rather calmer than both of them.

 Kagami! Luka! You came!

 Marinette quickly hugged them before gesturing toward Kaylan.

 Meet Kaylan, she is new to our class and sits next to me. And she’s my friend. I wanted to introduce her to you guys.

 Of course Mari-hime. I’m Kagami Tsurugi and I challenge you to a duel.

 Kagami! No!

 Kaylan Fox and I would be pleased to dual. Having a challenge always excite me no matter physical or mental.

 Please don’t!

 Poor Marinette kept looking at the girls who shook each other’s hand with as much force they could exert. None of their expression flattered.

The musician looked rather amused at their antic, when they released each other, he introduced himself.

 Luka Couffaine. Normally I would do the intimidation but if you can survive Kagami than I’m sure you can live mine.

 There’s no way I’m hurting Marinette. I would rather hurt those who hurt her. Someone like a certain liar.

 That caught their attention and they looked at her and then at Marinette. The designer sighed and nodded. The smiles that passed between three of them were all the same. Sadistic.

 Marinette regretted introducing them. She heard Tikki sniggering quietly before leading them all up towards her room. She really prayed that Lila can live with these three teaming up. They are all vicious individually and together they will be unstoppable. Just thinking about the chaos they will cause in the future makes her head hurt.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Kagami and Luka were head of MPS (Marinette protection squad). With Kaylan, their strategist for petty revenge, they felt that they can now work far better. Their stories of Liar turned to her becoming akumatized and lead to the conversation earlier.

 But seriously did that actually work?

 Marinette asked. While it might be a healthy mechanism to let go of the emotion for a limited time before composing themselves but with an emotional terrorist on lose it would be too good to be true.

 My mom and I do it every day.

 She giggled picturing how ridiculous they must have looked.

It’s more like letting all your stress, anger and frustration out in one big scream and then drink some water to cool down. It’s likely to attract akuma but once you have cool down it won’t be attracted to you.

 (yes. this works. letting out your frustration by screaming, loudly cursing and angrily punching the pillow, can help you cool down faster. I tried all of these. and I felt far lighter than before.)

They frowned, still not believing at her. She shook her head with a smile before taking out her phone and calling someone.

 Hey mom, do you have something on the schedule for today?

 The trio raised their eyebrows.

 ………………

 No I mean are you free or do you have an appointment or …….

……………………..

 Yes but number increased to three.

 ……………….

 I still need to ask if they are free, hold up. Hey, I know it’s on short notice but can you make time for dinner today?

 She looked at Marinette who stood up and ran to her parents. Kagami and Luka took out their phones to call their parent.

 I can make time!

Marinette came running before bending to catch her breath. Luka nodded too. Kagami was looking a little reluctant but when Kaylan gestured she passed the phone to her.

 Moshi, Moshi, Tsurugi-san!

 ………………..

 Kagami looked alarmed but focused at the girl talking to her mother.

 Kaylan Fox. Kagami o yūshoku ni shōtai shitakatta nodesuga, de~yuaru mo yakusoku shimashita. Kagami ga watashitachi no yūkō-tekina kyōsō no tame no jikan o tsukuru koto ga dekiru koto o hontōni nozonde imasu.

 (I don’t know a speck of Japanese, I’m just using google translate and if you find some thing wrong with the translation blame google, not me)

(Kaylan Fox. I wanted to invite Kagami for dinner and we even promised for a dual. I really hope Kagami can make time for our friendly competition.)

  ……………….

Tokuni arimasen. Shikashi, yori budō ni katamuite imasu.

(Not particularly. But more inclined towards martial arts. )

 …………………

 Mochiron chigaimasu. Watashinohaha wa seishinkai de, keganin ga inai koto o kakunin dekimasu.

 (Of course not. My mother is psychiatrist and can make sure no one is injured.)

 …………………

Mattaku chigaimasu, mama. Watashi wa machigainaku jibun no kachi o shōmei suru jikan o tsukuru koto ga dekimasu.

 (Not at all, mam. I can definitely make time to prove my worth.)

 ……………………

 Arigato, Tomoe-san.

The call ended and Kaylan turned to her own phone.

 Sorry for the wait but yeah all of them are coming.

 ………….

 Just dinner. Sleep over have to wait. Boundaries mama. Respect the boundaries.

 ……….

 Sure. Take care and don’t stress. The last thing I want for you is to become an akuma.

She turned to the trio, taking in their various level of surprise.

 What?

 You managed to persuade Tomoe-san/my mother?

 Both girls spoke at the same time but Kaylan still under stood.

  It wasn’t that hard. When I said I would come and prove my worth as her daughter’s friend and the mention of our competition, she was very much persuaded. By the way I got her number and she invited me for another match at your place.   Hope you don’t mind.

Kagami shook her head. The small twitch of her lips didn’t go unnoticed. True Tomoe-san is rather strict with her daughter but when it comes to good influence and worthy friends she lets her daughter keep the company.

 It’s good to have someone who can speak Japanese. They’re just learning.

 Kagami gestured at the other two.

 I speak a lot of languages. English isn’t my first one. We move a lot. So learning language is rather compulsory to make sure I don’t get ‘tricked’.

(language barrier can be a reason why tourists get scammed.)

She air quote tricked.

 Japanese was my third language, right before English. First it was Chinese because I was in Beijing at that time then it was Hindi because a few of my mother’s family member were in India and I learnt it while we had contact with them and I took French when we were in America. So yeah!

 She shrugged like it wasn’t a big deal, but turned her gaze towards Kagami, looking at her expectedly. The said girl smiled and started counting.

 I speak Japanese, French, English, Chinese and I’m learning Mandarin.

 I speak French, Chinese, I’m learning Mandarin and uncle Jagged and penny are teaching me English. Kagami is teaching me Japanese that’s for now.

 French, English, learning Japanese. If you count me swearing like my mother then the sailor language

.

Now that’s a language we have to be wary of.

 The amused chuckle that left her lips initiated the laughter session before they started to get to know each other before they return to school.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The classes after lunch were quick to pass with a few glare here and there but no ne dare to openly antagonize the young designer. Especially now that Lila wasn’t there to fan the flames.

 Seems like the morning humiliation was more than enough to keep her down.

  Kaylan mused before listening to the teacher.

 _______________________________________________________________

Okay she was wrong! Like really, really wrong!

 So let’s backup.

 The day without Lila was rather peaceful. I mean if there is no liar to fan the flames then there is no new rumor and no one glaring at them or rather at Marinette. Well the morning humiliation was something.

 Marinette sighed and relaxed when the last bell rang, with no Lila and fake friends around she had so much time.

  Marinette! How could you?!

Aaaaaand there goes the peaceful day she hoped. She must be really tired or angry because she scowled openly at her former best friend.

 What did I do this time Cesaire? Lila isn’t even in the class. What did I do to her this time?

 She isn’t here in the class that’s why you sent her nasty texts! She sent me the screen shots of all nasty things you have said!

 And yet she still doesn’t wants to file a cyber-bulling complaint.

 Ah! Maybe that’s why she talked back. Kaylan stood right behind her, putting her chin on Marinette’s shoulder smiling coldly at the class in front of them. They looked rather intimate.

Tension rose to the roof and the temperature dropped several degrees making several of them shiver. Alya gritted her teeth shoving the fear at the back of her mind.

 Well maybe because Lila is too nice for her own good and didn’t want Marinette to get in trouble.

 And yet, you the ever so poetic justice, still want to trouble Marinette.

 The bluenette giggled before covering it up with a cough. Kaylan had so many comebacks that she could never get tired of listening to them.

 Many of their classmates shuffled nervously. Sure Lila had said a lot of times that she didn’t want Marinette too be trouble but Marinette needs to know what it was like to be bullied. Before any of them could say anything, Kaylan lightly pushed Marinette towards the door.

Before they can make their way out, Kaylan said.

 Oh and Cesaire! Be a bigger person and a good example. I’m sure Marinette can be nice if you show her how to be a good example.

 They left the school halls before any of them could comprehend.
