paring: cc!wilbur soot x musician!fem!reader

summary: you and wilbur have broken up, wilbur realizes he messed up.

authors note: tell me how I can write about a breakup without ever being in a relationship ever... I hope this is good idk I apologize if not, I haven’t written anything in months but this man is making me crawl out of my hiatus and WRITE. This was supposed to be longer but i haven’t had motivation to finish it so maybe one day ill make a part two!

warnings: break-up, just pure agnst, short, unedited!

You were an absolute wreck the first month after Wilbur broke up with you. Everything reminded you of him, the bed you shared you've reluctantly crawled into every night. The apartment you lived in, that he left you in.

Empty.

Too quiet.

No longer filled with laughter, and late-night talks, and the sounds of Wilbur's guitar playing when he was figuring out a particular part in a new song he wrote. It felt hollow, It didn't feel like a home without him.

Most days were spent trying to suppress any thoughts of him. How he made you feel. You wished it was all just some fantastical dream you made up in your head, but the memories plagued your mind every time you close your eyes. Flashes of your time together scrambled into a messy fast paced movie in your mind. How his warm palm's skin felt pressed against yours as you intertwined your fingers. His contagious laughter resonated in your ears as he reacted to a dumb joke you made. The nights he held you after a nightmare and you'd cry into his shoulder. The inside jokes and the times you'd sing in the living room making up songs on your guitars. All about love and being in love of course. It was all gone.

It drove you mad to the point where you'd just cry and cry into the pillow that still faintly had the smell of him still lingering. He had left behind some items you refused to get rid of, like the countless polaroids of the two of you, kissing, being cheek to cheek smiling like lovesick fools. Being yourselves because you were safe with one another. The stuffed bear he'd won you at the arcade pier on your fourth date. His clothes were left on the floor in a pile. His dirty dishes in the sick. The shampoo bottle he left in the shower. All of it you refused to touch. As if getting rid of it would finally convince you he was really gone for good.

You thought things were going well between you two, but things quickly turned sour after his band did more frequent shows and a headlining tour for their EP.

-

When you met for the first time it was like fate. Honestly, it was like out of a movie. You were at a concert hosted by one of your favorite local bands. Wilbur had just come out of a particularly nasty relationship. Being mostly miserable he didn't really want to join Ash and Mark who invited him out to see a local band, he just wanted to lay in bed and willow in his own self-pity. He reluctantly got up from his state when his bandmates wouldn't stop pestering him. Something told him he should stop being such a grump and go out.

Wilbur was having an average time, the band was good, Mark and Ash seemed to be enjoying it, and that was alright in his eyes. They both tried to get him to at least smile once or twice but failed. His ex kept creeping back into his mind as the bass of the instruments playing an upbeat tune roared from the speakers it shook the floor of the small club they were all packed into like sardines.

People were bouncing around, cheering, and enjoying their lives in the moment so, why couldn't he? It was such bullshit that he couldn't even thoroughly experience this moment when his thoughts were so consuming. He contemplated stepping outside and leaving, apologizing to his friends tomorrow for being a dick, but then-

Then he noticed you standing beside him in the crowd, enjoying the music and singing along to your favorite songs. your hair swishing around you in slow motion with every movement. He thought you were adorable, it made his heart jump in his throat at how fast he instantly was drawn to you like a black hole.

He wanted, no, needed to talk to you. Even if all he could get out was a simple line to get the conversation going. You felt his eyes on you long before he opened his mouth. Of course, you noticed the tall handsome stranger glimpsing at you every once in and while smiling at your antics. So his comment wasn't an unwelcome one.

"So, you really like them huh?" he had asked over the loud electric guitar and the lead singer's vocals. What possessed him to start talking to you, you had no clue but you smiled politely and nodded.

"One of my favorite bands they're awesome!" you shouted still bobbing your head to the beat. "Their sound is so versatile yet unique!"

He smiled, witnessing you genuinely enthusiastic about something you loved made him want to get to know you in a way he's never felt with anyone before. When you smiled back at him with a light in your eyes he knew he was in deep now.

"I'm Wil!" he shouted over the cheers since the song had ended amidst your conversation.

"Y/N!"

That same night he had gotten your number and you texted each other for weeks before meeting up again.

-

You both quickly found out that Music was both of your passions. His band was only just starting out but quickly taking off and getting recognized more. You were still making covers in your bedroom, uploading them onto your small youtube channel, and writing your own songs on occasion but too afraid to put yourself more out there.

Wilbur was the one who actually motivated you into finally posting an original song. He always supported your music more than anyone in your life, always driving you, being your muse in a sense. The video had gotten over 50k views in under a month and you could honestly say it was one of the proudest moments in your life.

Of course, you gave him your full support in his career tenfold. Going to his shows and being the loudest in the crowd, singing along to all his songs you knew by heart. Catching your eye in the front row as you watched him on stage like you knew he was born to be. constantly thinking how lucky he was to have you support him. Flattering in chords for a moment when you would look back at him with the most adoring smile pulling at the corner of your lips. You felt so proud of him, and you made sure he knew all the time.

-

Now when Wilbur played shows it wasn't the same. When he'd peer out into the sea of people screaming his name he didn't see you. For a while, he pushed his feelings to the side. He was the one to call things off. So why did his heartache when he didn't see you and the adoring smile on your lips?

After a few months, it hit him without warning. One particular night on stage was hell for him. The lights were so bright making his eyes burn, sweat dripping down his forehead as his throat felt raw from singing two nights in a row. Still, he pushed on as the band finished up the first song on the setlist Sex Sells. Next was the song he had written about you, for you. He has performed it countless times and people yelled back to his those lyrics more times than he could count. Lyrics that were so intimate to him. why, why was it bothering him now? It was too late to change it. So he fought back the tears and sang his heart out.

throwing himself into the performance had intercepted his thoughts. Determined to put on a good show he pushed his ever wandering mind to the side. It was only when he sang a particular line that he messed up a chord or two and his throat closed up. He hoped no one caught it as he continued but his mind told him everyone could tell his gears shifted. The rest of the show went somewhat well for the most part. He still couldn't shake you out of his mind.

The band had taken their final bows as they finished up the very last song of the night. The cheers had gotten louder and people were already chanting for an encore. Wilbur, wiping the sweat from his forehead on his arm had spoken into the mic once last time.

"We have been lovejoy, thank you so much for coming out!" he panted out.

As soon as it was over Wilbur walked off the left stage, post-show adrenaline pumping through his veins is what carried his feet as he slung his guitar over his head and handed it to a stage attendant. Quickly making an escape to the stage door before one of the guys could stop and ask him something. The cold Manchester air hit his skin almost instantly cooling his body down from the burning lights and stress, but his chest heaved and his heart was pounding in his ears. Trying to calm himself down by taking deep slow breaths didn't help, instead, he finally excepted everything he had pushed down for months and let it spill out. Wilbur sank to his knees on the concrete and huddled into himself, squashing his face into his knees attempting to hide from the world he let himself sob.

He stayed like that for a long time, just sobbing and wondering to himself why... It had finally struck him intensely just how much he had fucked up.

Knight!RWBY: Willow x Sienna Title: Coming Up For Air

Alas, even the most heartfelt of reunions eventually had to come to a resting point. And that was how Willow found herself clad in her bed robes when she saw her daughter and a small army of girls crash into a pier with a small boat, all while being remarkably unharmed, themselves.

g: fluff, wk: 429, p: royal guard x princess reader, w: none :), req: @n0hyuck

“You called for me, my princess?” Your head immediately shot up from the book your teacher had left you with - a terribly boring play written by an author the old man was always praising to high heavens - when you heard the voice of one of your trustworthy guards, immediately finding the man’s gentle eyes. “I did, thank you for coming, Jaemin,” you smiled, closing your book and waving your other guard off who had watched over you. With a firm nod to his colleague, the guard took the path that lead him back to the castle, quickly disappearing between the lush plants of the royal garden.

“My princess,” Jaemin smiled again, holding out one of his hands for you to take as you made to get up from your swing, “What grants me the pleasure of your company on a day like this?” “I felt like taking a ride on the lake,” you confessed, shortly squeezing his hand before letting go. You never knew if you were truly alone, your father was always a little overprotective of you. “What about your studies, my princess?” “Studies be damned,” you grinned, lifting your skirt up to keep it from the muddy ground as you made your way to the small pier, Jaemin following you like a shadow, just like how he was trained to.

“Let me help you,” he offered you his hands again, his fingers calloused from hours of practicing sword fighting and archery, helping you step into the small boat, averting his eyes like the gentleman he was as you sorted out your skirts before he sat down to pick up the paddles, steering you away from the pier and closer to the other end of the lake, near the grand walls of the castle, hidden beneath a beautiful willow. “Let’s stop here,” you decided after a while, admiring the beautiful flowers of the lilies before you met Jaemin’s eyes again who was already smiling back at you.

“You look beautiful today, my princess” he complimented, gently caressing your cheek, a soft touch you immediately leaned into. “Thank you,” you smiled softly, feeling your cheeks heating up. “The most beautiful flower of them all.” “You’re shameless,” you giggled, slapping his hand away before you grabbed it between your palms again to bring it up to your lips, softly kissing his knuckles. “I cannot help myself when I am finally alone with the one I love the most.” “Let’s make the most of our time, shall we?” You whispered, leaning in closer to Jaemin, craving the touch of your lover.

Heyyy me finally requesting something I love you writing! How about 4 and 5 with Levi for Easter fics if that's ok?! Hope you are having a good day!😍😘

Wooo! Yes! Hiiii! Thank you so much <3 All my love to you, you wonderful human <3

4. Easter-themed date

5. Having chocolate together.

Cherry blossoms and chocolate

Pairing: Levi x Reader

Genre and tags: Modern AU, couple, cute, fluff, date, Easter date, picnic, Levi plans it all, romantic Levi.

Concept: Levi surprises you by taking you on a romantic date on Easter. You go for a nice long walk through the park to admire the cherry blossom trees. He takes you on a little rowing boat in the lake to admire the views. After a relaxing boat trip to the island in the middle, Levi sets up a cute picnic with food he made. During the date, Levi presents you with an Easter egg, but there's a surprise inside.

You pulled on a cute cardigan and smiled at Levi as he grabbed a backpack. "This is exciting."

He smiled a little. "Really?"

You nodded. "Yeah."

He reached over and held your hand. "Good." He pulled you out of the apartment and led you outside the building. "You going to be okay in that dress?"

You nodded. "It's warm, but it's not hot. I'll be just fine."

He hummed. "Well, I have a blanket just in case and my jacket."

You leaned over and kissed his cheek. "You take such care of me."

He blushed a little as people stared at him. "Tch, silly brat."

You giggled. "Don't be shy Levi. There's nothing wrong with loving me in public."

He let out a long sigh. "I know." He pulled you into the park and hummed. "There's a lot of cherry blossoms."

You looked up and gasped at the little pink flowers all around. "Beautiful."

Levi looked at the flowers, but then his gaze was locked on you. His gaze softened in love and adoration for you. He thought you delighting in the blossoms was far more beautiful than the blossoms themselves. He loved moments like these. He loved watching you because you were a delight to watch. He loved you so deeply.

You looked over at Levi and blushed. "What?"

He shook his head. "Tch, nothing." He tugged you along. "Come on."

You trotted along next to him. "Do we have somewhere special to be?"

He blushed and nodded. "Yeah"

You smiled at him. "Where?"

He looked over at you. "Surprise."

You giggled. "I love the mystery. Am I going to be meeting the Easter bunny?"

"Tch, no."

You pouted a little. "Oh. Well, I wouldn't mind seeing you dressed as a bunny."

He blushed hard. "Not gonna happen, brat."

You lifted his hand up and kissed his fingers. "Love you."

"Love you too." He smiled a little and led you to the pier on the lake. He stopped by a rowboat. "In you get."

You held Levi's arm and carefully got in. "You rented this?"

He nodded and climbed in, then took the oars from the attendant. "Yes." He handed the ticket over. "Just for me and you."

You blushed a little. "Cute."

He pulled his backpack off and put it between you and him. "Comfy?"

You nodded. "Yeah."

He loaded the oars in place and started rowing away from the pier. He turned the boat and went under willow trees. He smiled as your reached up and touched the branches. You sighed and adored how beautiful it all was and how the leaves lightly touched the water.

Levi's eyes softened as he admired you. He watched you lean over the boat and touched the top of the water with your fingertips. You watched petals dancing on the water, along with fish swimming under. You felt so at peace here with Levi.

Levi let out a love-filled sigh as a light spring breeze carried the scent of newly blossomed flowers over the lake. He smiled when you sat up and blew him a kiss. He winked at you and rowed you both to the island in the middle of the lake.

He docked the boat and climbed out. He put his bag on the ground, then offered his hand to you. "Come on brat."

You took his hand and climbed out. "I've always wanted to come to this island."

"Well, I've made that wish come true." He put his bag on and pulled you close with one arm. "We're going to a nice spot here."

You walked with him to the lone tree on the island. "I can't believe you planned all this. This is so romantic."

He blushed a little. "I'm glad you're happy." He led you to the tree and took his bag off. He put the blanket down first. "Sit."

You sat down and smiled when Levi joined you. "Are we going to have a picnic?"

He nodded and pulled out a thermos and little bento boxes. He poured two cups and handed them out. He opened the boxes and smiled. "Dig in."

You sipped your tea and ate your food. You moaned in happiness and delight. "So good. Levi, you're amazing."

He blushed a little. "I'm glad you like it all." He pulled out a little box and opened it. "I made little chocolate eggs too."

You gasped, then ate a few of them. "Holy crap this is good."

"Yeah?"

You nodded and shuffled to sit next to him. "Let me feed you."

He blushed and opened his mouth. "Ah."

You popped a chocolate in and smiled. "You're a chocolate master."

"I wouldn't say that, but I did do a good job."

You kissed him and hummed. "I love them."

He smiled and fed you a little chocolate. He wiped your lip, then licked his thumb clean. "Tch, messy brat."

You giggled. "I am." You licked your lips. "I feel bad I didn't make you an Easter egg."

Levi put his hands in his bag. "I don't want one. I just want you." He pulled out an egg and blushed. "Here."

You took the egg. "Oh, look at the cute egg." You played with it. "It's plastic."

"Open it."

You popped it open to reveal a ring inside. "What..." You picked it out and gazed at the pretty ring. "Wow."

Levi blushed and took the ring from you. He held your left hand and gulped. He said your full name as he locked eyes with you. "Will you marry me?"

You flushed bright red. "Le-Levi..."

He gulped hard. "I love you so much. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So, will you marry me?"

You welled up and nodded. "Yes. Yes, of course I will."

Levi slipped the ring on your finger first, then leaned over and kissed you. "I love you."

You dove at Levi and giggled when he fell back. "I love you so much!" You showered Levi's face in kisses. "I can't wait to marry you."

He smiled softly. "I can't either, Mrs Ackerman."

Girl out of Time

Pairing: Bucky x Reader and Sam x Reader

Background: Willow Roffe was born and raised in Brooklyn. She lived her life as happily as she could with her two childhood best friends Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers. When they both left her to join the military she tried to continue with life but that didn't get to happen for her for the simple fact that she meant something to James Buchanan Barnes.

Rating: Story will be overall MATURE but not every chapter. There will be strong language, talk of both mental and physical abuse, some good ole angst, and smut. There will be a warning at the beginning of the chapter when it includes smut.

Chapter 23

Brooklyn, NY 1943

I had spent most of my day at the hospital working my volunteer shift. As soon as I left the hospital there was James Buchanan Barnes standing in full head to toe army uniform. The sight of him took my breath away but shattered my heart. He did it. He enlisted. I smiled even though I suddenly wanted to cry.

“Well hello soldier” I teased as I stepped over to him.

He smiled down at me as he offered me his hand.

“How would you like to join me in finding our little troublemaker then enjoying a night of unashamed fun?” He asked as I grabbed his hand.

I laughed but nodded.

“Let me call my house real quick.” I said then turned to go back into the hospital.

“Why?” Jamie asked as he followed me.

“To tell my Pa I’m working a double shift.” I said looking back at him over my shoulder.

He chuckled and nodded. I walked over to the desk where one of the nurses were sitting. I pointed at the phone which she happily handed to me. I dialed my home number. My mother answered but was quickly replaced by my father after she said my name.

“Hey Pa, I was asked to work a double shift. They’re a bit short staffed.” I said sweetly.

“You got your blade?” He asked.

“Of course” I answered.

“Good, keep it with you. Be safe coming home.” He said in his normal soft tone.

“I will Pa” I said then hung up the phone.

I turned back to Jamie who was smirking devilishly. God he should be illegal. Especially in that uniform. I followed him back out of the hospital towards one of the recruitment centers.

“You seriously think he’d try again?” I asked him as we walked inside.

“You don’t?” He asked raising a brow.

Ok he had a good point. Steve was never one to back down from anything. No matter how many times he got hit he’d always get back up. He was tough but stupid at times. Jamie asked the nurse at the desk about Steve. She told us he was here but was denied. Big shocker. Jamie sighed then thanked her. We walked back out to the street.

“Where do you think he went?” I asked.

He shrugged. We walked a short distance down the street. We passed the theater. Just as we got to the alley beside the theater we both heard grunting and the sound of fists hitting flesh. We looked at each other then darted down the alley. Sure enough there was our Stevie getting the shit punched out of him.

“Hey!” Jamie shouted as he grabbed the guy.

He pushed him towards me making me step to the side.

“Pick on someone your own size.” He ordered the stranger.

The man swung at Jamie but he was quick to dodge it and throw his own punch which connected perfectly. I ran around them to Steve so I could help him back to his feet. Jamie was at our side a few seconds later.

“Sometimes I think you like getting punched.” Jamie said as he stopped in front of us.

“I had em on the ropes.” Stevie panted.

“How many times is this?” Jamie asked as he bent down and picked up a paper.

He opened it to see what it said. I had a feeling it was another one of Steve’s enlistment forms.

“Oh, you’re from Paramus now. You know it’s illegal to lie on your enlistment form. And seriously? Jersey?” He asked looking slightly disgusted.

Steve sighed as he took in Jamie’s full appearance.

“You get your orders?” He asked gesturing to the uniform.

Jamie was the one to sigh this time. My heart sped up at the anticipation for his answer.

“107th, Sergeant James Barnes. Shipping out for England first thing tomorrow.” He said as he stood tall.

Tomorrow? He’s leaving tomorrow?

“I should be going.” Steve said softly.

James chuckled then threw his arm over Steve’s shoulders.

“Come on man. My last night. Gotta get you cleaned up.” He said as he reached back for me.

I grabbed his extended hand then happily walked next to him. He let go of Steve but kept holding my hand. Would I ever see him again after tonight? Would he make it home? There was so many things I thought about telling him. Tings I thought I should tell him but I didn’t think I’d have the courage. What was the point anyway?

“Why? Where are we going?” Steve asked as we walked out of the alley.

Jamie handed him the paper in his hand.

“The future” he chuckled.

The Stark expo was always something special. That man was an incredible genius. I’d met him once or twice when he worked with my father. He was nice but a bit arrogant. The place was crowded as we walked inside.

“I don’t see what the problem is. You’re about to be the last eligible man in New York. You know there’s 3 and a half million women here.” Bucky said as we walked.

“I’d settle for just one.” Steve muttered.

“Bucky!” A girl shouted from a few feet away.

James smiled as he waved at her and her friend.

“Good thing I took care of that for you.” James chuckled.

I stopped in my tracks as I watched both boys walk over to the two very pretty girls. My heart plummeted. Absolutely no reason for me to tell him anything. Right in front of me was what he wanted. I’m 23 years old and the only man I’ve ever wanted was one of my best friends. Now he’s leaving to fight in the war tomorrow and most likely I’d never see him again. It was time I just accepted that I’d never get what I wanted. Just as I turned to walk away from them I heard James shout my name. I ignored him as tears began to fall down my cheeks. How could I be so stupid.

I didn’t stop moving until I got to the pier. It was less crowded here. Most of the city was at the expo. I walked over to the bench closest to the water then sat down.

“Stupid” I whispered as the tears continued to fall.

“Why am I so stupid?” I asked myself.

I leaned forward putting my face in my hands. I let it out. Everything I’d held in and kept to myself all these years. Everything I wanted to say to James was now drowning me. I should have told him a long time ago. I don’t know how long I sat there crying but it felt like an eternity. I really hope James was enjoying his last night. I only wish I could have said goodbye to him.

“What the hell?” The familiar voice asked harshly.

Sat up straight but didn’t turn around. He sounded like he was panting. He stepped in front of me but I only looked at his shoes. They were shiny and brand new.

“Willow” he said softly.

He kneeled in front of me as he grabbed my chin. He held my head in place so he could look at me.

“Why did you run off like that? Why are you crying?” He asked looking genuinely worried.

I sniffled then pulled my chin out of his grasp.

“It doesn’t matter.” I whispered.

“It matters to me.” He said softly.

The look on his face was genuine concern. I knew he did care just not the way I wanted him to.

“I should have told you a long time ago James. I like you. A lot. I always have. Over the years I’ve known you it’s only grown stronger. Now you’re leaving to go fight in a war you might not come back from. I’m scared and I’m heart broken.” I spoke threw my tears.

James sighed then pulled me to my feet. He wrapped his arms around my waist holding me tightly against his chest. He kissed the top of my head which only made me cry harder.

“Willow, I love you. I’ve loved you since the day I met you. I always thought you could do better than me so I never tried to be anything more than your friend. All those girls I dated only lasted a week or less because they never came close to you. I think we were both idiots. We both should have had the guts to fess up to each other. We can’t take that back now but we can change it now.” He explained softly.

I took a deep breath then look up at him. He gently wiped my cheeks.

“What do you mean?” I asked him.

“I want to make you a promise. I will be come home. I’ll come home for you. When I do come home I want to marry you. Give you anything and everything you could ever want. Everything you deserve.” He spoke softly as his thumbs rubbed my cheeks.

I was speechless. He smiled softly then stepped back from me.

“You want to marry me?” I asked in almost a whisper.

“I couldn’t think of any other woman I’d want to annoy the piss out of for the rest of my life.” He chuckled.

“You idiot” I breathed out as I threw myself into his arms.

He hugged me tightly then kissed my temple.

“Is that a yes?” He asked when he pulled away.

“You better come home Barnes. I’ll be waiting to be Mrs. Barnes.” I said quietly.

He grabbed my face again then pressed his lips to mine. My mind went blank as my entire body came to life. Not only was this my first kiss but it was also sealing a promise between myself and Jamie. A promise I would hold him to for the rest of eternity.

“We should get back to Steve before he gets himself into trouble.” Jamie whispered.

I nodded. James grabbed my hand tangling his fingers with mine. The smile that took over my face felt peaceful. Everything felt brand new. It didn’t take long for us to get back into the crowd of people. Steve was sitting on a bench alone eating some popcorn.

“Stevie!” James shouted to get his attention.

Steve’s head popped up as he searched the crowd. When he found us he was on his feet speed walking to us. As soon as he reached us a man carrying a camera appeared out of the crowd. He noticed James then came over to us.

“Hello soldier, when’s your ship date?” He asked James.

“Tomorrow” Jamie said simply.

“Well why don’t you let me get a picture for ya?” He smiled.

“Sure why not” James chuckled.

He moved to put me in the middle of him and Steve. James put his arm around my waist pulling my body into his. Steve had to stand on his top toes to put his arm over my shoulders. I laughed at the sight of him just as the man took the photo. James thanked the man then gave him his mother’s address to send the photo to.

“Now we should go dancing.” James beamed as he clapped his hands together.

“Sounds fun” I chuckled.

I turned to ask Steve to join us but the blonde was no longer standing there.

“Where’d he go?” I asked James.

“Why does he do that?” James asked in a hushed voice.

We both scanned the area looking for our friend. My eyes landed on the recruitment center only a few feet away from us. I nudged Jamie with my elbow then nodded at it. He sighed then started walking towards it as he pulled me by my hand. Sure enough, Steve was standing right inside looking at an enlistment poster. James grabbed his shoulder to turn him around.

“You’re missing the point of tonight.” James told him with a small smile.

Steve shoved his hands into his pockets.

“You go ahead. I’ll catch up.” Steve said softly.

James sighed.

“You really gonna do this again?” He asked the smaller man.

“Well, it’s a fair. I’m gonna try my luck.” Steve shrugged.

“Stevie” I said softly as I stepped closer to him.

“As who? Steve from Ohio? They’ll catch you or worse they’ll actually take you.” James said harshly.

“Look, I know you don’t think I can do this.” Steve said as he looked down.

“This isn’t about gallantry Steve. It’s war.” James said sternly.

“James that’s-“ I started but Steve stepped forward.

“I know it’s a war.” He said glaring up at James.

“Why? Why are you so keen to fight? There’s so many important jobs.” James tried to explain.

“What do you want me to do? Collect scrap metal in my little red wagon?” Steve asked in disbelief.

“Yes!” Jamie shouted.

“Ok that’s enough.” I said trying to pull James back.

“I’m not gonna sit in a factory Bucky.” Steve said simply.

James tried to ramble on.

“Bucky!” Steve shouted making James shut up.

We both stared at the blonde in disbelief.

“Come on, there are men laying down their lives. I got no right to do anything less than that. That’s what you don’t understand. This isn’t about me.” Steve said in an exasperated tone.

“Yea right, cause you got nothin to prove.” James said narrowing his eyes at his friend.

I grabbed Jamie’s hand trying to get his attention. He sighed then looked down at me. He squeezed my hand then gave me a small smile.

“Don’t do anything stupid until I get back.” James said as he stepped backwards pulling me with him.

“How can I? You’re taking all the stupid with you.” Steve said loudly.

James chuckled softly.

“You’re a punk.” He said as he walked back over to Steve.

The two boys hugged each other.

“Jerk” Steve said quietly.

James let him go then stepped back.

“Be careful” Steve told him.

James started to walk backwards again towards me.

“Don’t win the war until I get there!” Steve shouted.

James stopped then saluted Stevie before turning back to me. He draped his arm over my shoulders then guided me back into the crowd.

“You think he’s gonna be alright?” I asked softly.

James kisses the top of my head.

“Of course he is. He’s tough.” James said into my hair.

I didn’t want the night to end but eventually it did. James walked me all the way to the street next to mine. He kissed me several times on the lips, my cheeks, forehead, and temples. He rested his forehead against mine as he sighed.

“Please be careful James. I just got you. I can’t loose you.” I whispered.

“I’ll always be with you Willow. No matter what. I made you a promise didn’t I? I’ll be home before you know it and I’ll put a ring on this pretty little hand.” He said softly.

He grabbed my hand raising it up to his lips. He placed a soft kiss to my knuckles then let me go.

“Try not to worry about me doll. I’ll be fine.” He whispered.

He kissed me once last time then started walking away.

“James!” I shouted.

He stopped but didn’t turn around.

“I love you.” I told him.

He looked back over his should with a small smile.

“I love you Willow.” He said softly then continued walking.

Dream With Me - Harry Styles x Calm (full transcript) written by Steve Cleverley and Sanj Sen

**DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to this content and also I tried my best but all of the words may not be exact**

Hello, I’m Harry Styles. And tonight, I’m going to help you drift off to sleep with some soothing words and calming music. A sleep story, just for you. With all the busyness of your day, I know how hard it is to get to sleep. So thank you for choosing this story, and me, to help you. I wish you a wonderful night’s sleep. So make yourself comfortable, take a deep breath in, and then out. In. And then out. And when you’re ready, close your eyes.

Have you ever wondered what happens when you sleep? Where you go and what you feel? The places that you seek? When you start to drift away, your mind becomes a book that writes itself and fades away before you wake to look.

Tonight we’re going to think about anything you’d like. So first let’s visualize some scenes to snooze through the night. Settle back and clear your mind. We’re heading somewhere special beyond the world of consciousness to places more celestial.

I’d like you to imagine now you’re there beneath the stars, which, when you pause to think about it, actually you are. As you focus on the darkness right before your eyes, fill the scene with glinting lights to emulate night skies.

Think about the things you cherish most and those you love. And then allow yourself to be embraced from up above. The power of the universe meanders through your mind. So come with me, and let’s see what the two of us can find.

Let’s travel now to moonlit valleys blanketed with heather. The kind of landscape you and I could dream about forever. Imagine lazing on the ground, succumbing to the charms of blades of grass we now caress with fingertips and arms.

A gentle scent of cedar wood is floating on the breeze -- A gift from Mother Nature and her nearby cedar trees. We’re gazing at the night sky now, marveling at infinity. So allow your mind to wonder to a peaceful new vicinity.

Picture this: A rich, green forest damp with morning dew. Inhale the morning air as we explore, just me and you. Leaves create mosaics in every shade of green as gentle birdsong mingles with the babbling of a stream.

Dappled sepia sunlight cuts through branches overhead as dewdrops fall from leaf to leaf, like glistening strands of thread. The dew drops finally coalesce forming satin beads. Occasionally, they kiss our cheeks. Small pleasures,  quenching needs.

Holding hands, we stroll until we chance upon a brook. It’s cool, clear water mirroring our faces as we look. A shimmering reflection shows us smiling from above. The word we think, but dare not speak, is L-O-V-E --- Love.

Now we snuggle on a raft and drift for endless hours, as willow trees sway in the breeze, and blossoms fall in showers. Gently swaying to and fro, we look up at the sky and watch the clouds above us forming shapes as they pass by.

The wisps of cloud swirl slowly, tinged with tangerine and pink. And as they fade, the sunset gives us cause to muse, and think of places we should visit and oceans we could cross. For some who wander through this world, there’s grace in being lost.

Passing by a waterfall, our thoughts sway to and fro, and time begins to fade and blur beneath the moon’s pale glow. A symphony of tumbling water lulls and mesmerizes nature’s soundtrack to our dreams, assume so many guises.

Strolling on a sidewalk now, as rain begins to fall. Its gentle pitter-patter holds us deep within its thrall. The raindrops’ rhythm briefly slows, then intensifies, peaceful and benevolent -- A gift from moonlit skies.

The fragrance that the rain creates upon the concrete surface inspires and relaxes us and focuses our purpose, to shift our minds to neutral, and slow our thoughts to drift, and recognize the rainfall as a mesmerizing gift.

Sheltering beneath a porch, we watch the rain pour down, though now the time has come to leave this dreamy, moonlit town. A gentle breeze wafts through the trees. It causes leaves to stir, and then the rain relents and fades as time begins to blur.

We find ourselves upon a shoreline, lounging by a lake. All crickets chirp in nearby reeds -- It’s hard to stay awake. The scene feels like a watercolor -- soft, diluted tones as looking down we see each other, laughing, skimming stones.

The stones skip on the gleaming lake and ripples start to form. And though the sun has dipped from view, we feel content and warm. Herons drift on thermals high above a sun-bleached pier, and in the trees beyond the lake, we glimpse a passing deer.

Strands of cloud unfurl like ribbons in the orange sky, mirrored on the lake now, like a painted butterfly. In the distance, mountains beckon, capped with pristine snow -- The kind of sight that dreams evoke when hearts and minds let go.

Contemplating nothingness, a scene takes shape before us, and as it sharpens in our thoughts, we hear a distant chorus. The dampened sound of silence that only snow can bring surrounds us with its calming vibes and touches us within.

Glistening snowflakes fall in flurries, mountain rivers freeze, the powdery slopes look beautiful, and fresh snow dusts the trees. Somehow now, we’re in a cabin taking in this view, as a fire crackles in the corner, just for me and you.

We linger for a moment, or maybe it’s been hours, for when we blink and look again, our vista’s swathed in flowers. Another destination lures us, closer now it seems. Perhaps it’s real, or just another chapter in our dreams.

Drifting in and out of sleep, our thoughts take us elsewhere, to an island fringed by swaying palms, lush beyond compare. A path winds through the mangroves towards a distant beach that underlines the turquoise ocean, now within our reach.

Eventually, we feel the powdery sand right beneath our feet, the sun above now blessing us with gentle, soothing heat. We hear the lilting sound of surf breaking up ahead. Our spiral shells and pearly shards determine where we tread.

Finally, a lapping wave engulfs our sandy feet. It seems to pause and ruminate, then gradually retreat. We dig our toes in cool, wet sand, then sit and face the sea, and let the sound wash over us, alone, just you and me.

Staring at the nothingness that stretches on forever, our thoughts dovetail and unify in tune, two minds together. As minutes turn to hours, we drift off somewhere new and visualize a stairway to a door we now walk through.

Imagine now a meadow on a balmy afternoon. Birds and bees and rustling trees create a summer tune. Flanked by fields of sunflowers, hand in hand we walk as the gentle sound of nature surrounds us while we talk.

The sunflowers give the scenery a warm and golden hue, while hazy sunshine softens our idyllic rustic view. As we roam past the hedgerows, a farmhouse sits alone -- Its open shutters pressed against uneven walls of stone.

A garden winds around the house and daisies poke through grass. A bench that’s lived through countless summers creaks as we walk past. We wonder if the house is empty, once loved but no longer. The thought of passing time inspires a feeling that grows stronger.

This feeling washed over us lost between a sigh, and as the sun begins to set, we stop and wonder why. Gravity caresses us and pulls you close to me. Then the scene begins to fade, our new reality.

Deeper, gradually deeper, we drift and now transcend to unfamiliar places too surreal to comprehend. Slowly, we capitulate, as sleep begins to call. Intwined in dreams and shifting scenes, we drift and gently fall.

Friendly faces, glorious places, things we hope to do. Intertwined with snapshots, some of me, and some of you. Moonlit valleys, verdant forests, gazing at the ocean. Some are meadows, tranquil sunsets, steeped in pure emotion. The tenderness we feel when we are close, two minds as one, surrounds us and connects us, but we’ve only just begun. For now, we dream together of all there is to follow, and know that sleep will keep us safe from now until tomorrow.

Maybe all the memories that we’ve gathered here tonight are all dreams now remembered or wishes in plain sight. No matter what, they’re with us now, for this night and forever. And every time we close our eyes, they’re yours, and mine, to treasure. Good night, and sleep well.

More Than The Sea || Mako x Reader (Aladdin AU)

This was a request from the wonderful @princeasimdiya12. Thank you so much for this request, lovely! I hope it is as good as you described! I honestly had sooo much fun with this one, I could have written an entire fic! (Don’t tempt me, lol.) The art was a fantastic choice on their part, and I tried to make it inspired by Aladdin while still keeping to the original material given to us in the Avatar series. I hope my interpretation ended up being a good blend of the two worlds!!

If anyone has any more art imagine ideas, send them in!

____________________________________________________

"Do you trust me?"

You stare down at the outstretched hand in front of you, marveling at the tiny willow-wisps of amber flame that hover around his fingertips, if only just for a second. As you eyes travel up his arm, to his smiling face and wide eyes, you feel a unsteady beat in your chest. Irises like burning coals gaze back at you, waiting with slight impatience and excitement.

"Wow, he has amazing eyes," you think to yourself. 

But behind you, the heavy and insistent trotting of the Republic City Police remind you that you're not out of the woods just yet. If you didn't move soon, you'd have to go back to the place you called hell. The home of your father, the man who never cared what you did as long as you didn't leave. He never cared about you at all. 

That is, at least until you discovered you were one of the new air-benders created by accident. 

All of a sudden, it was then your father took an interest. If it were up to him, you would have stayed his political prisoner, a pawn of his wealth and prestige in this lonesome desert world, forever...or at least until he married you off to some noble or used your new abilities for something nefarious. 

It wasn't until you turned nineteen that you seriously started considering running away, but you had no idea how. At least, not on your own. Mako--the boy you'd fallen in love with over the past couple years through secret rendezvous and clandestine meet-ups under your father's nose--suggested a grand rouse to throw your father off track. If his plan actually worked, the pair of you would be able to slip outside the city on the next ship leaving for the Fire Nation before your father knew you were gone.

It had mostly worked. To be fair, you didn't exactly count on anyone recognizing you, even in your hooded, Fire Nation disguise. It forced you and Mako to make unscheduled changes, choices that brought you through the market sector of the oasis city. Now, you were hiding in the attic of the tallest building you could find. Even if the police don't know of your exact whereabouts, if you don't move quickly, there isn't a doubt in your mind that you'll be discovered.

And then you'll be forced into isolation, this time for good. There's no way your father will continue to permit your relationship with Mako. You'll lose him forever.

The very thought tears you apart.

All you wake is a choice: a choice to be with the one you love, a choice to go where you want to go, a choice to live your own life the way you want to, a choice to learn about your new abilities and what secrets lie beneath.

Mako's hand steadies, the fire dissipating, as he moves it closer. His voice lowers, becoming stronger and more assured. As he speaks again, he locks eyes with you and gives you a small nod.

Everything, including his mouth, says, "Trust me."

And you do.

Your jaw sets, and you take his hand. He pulls you close and walks over to the nearest open window. From your spot at the top of the building, you can see out all across Republic City, from the bustling metropolis, to the wastelands on three of your four sides, to the bright and shining sea straight ahead. A smile spreads across your face as you spot the ship that will take Mako and you far away from this place.

And on the other side of that sea, you'll finally find your freedom.

"You ready for this?" Mako asks, trying to speak softly as to not rouse the police fumbling through the stalls below.

His arm tightens around your waist, and you glance over at him with concern.

"What are we planning on doing again?"

He flashes a boyish grin, and replies, "Improvising!"

Before you can protest, Mako brings you even closer, takes a step up over the windowsill, and throws both of you into the air. You hold your breath and cling to him tightly, using all your might to hold on and not let out an ear-piercing screech. 

But you should know better than to think he'd let you fall, or crash into the rooftop. Mako uses his free hand, as well as his feet, to blast fire. The propulsion keeps you level, just long enough to tumble over onto the next rooftop. Mako pulls you up, grabs your hand, and takes off running with you as the police turn and catch sight.

"Hey! They're on the roof!"

"Run!" Mako shouts, no longer restraining his volume.

You both speed down the rooftops, hurdling over dust-covered buildings and sandy tiles alike. Although nearly losing your balance a few times, you make it to the periphery of the desert city with relative ease. 

The police, however, are hot on your tail. They use their bending to snap metal chains at you in an attempt to restrain you. Mako uses his fire-bending to throw off several rounds, but eventually, he's out of energy and unable to help it as you're slowly surrounded.

You glance over your shoulder. The port isn't a hundred feet away. They've trapped you so close to freedom.

No. You clench your fists in anger. They were not going to stop you from getting to the sea, to your freedom, not when you were this close.

In a burst of intuition, you raise your hands. Breathing deeply, you instinctively push the air out, through your arms and hands, towards the officers. As if by magic, they go flying backward, tumbling from the roof in your gust of wind.

"That was...amazing!" Mako exclaims, still gasping for air.

You turn and grab his hand with a lop-sided grin. "We're not out yet!"

His smile fades, and he nods affirmatively. You continue running until you reach the end of the rooftops, after which Mako pulls you to him and uses his fire-bending as before to easily let you onto the ground. You use your slight air-bending to steady you on landing, knowing that his chi is all but drained. The sand under his feet turns to glass as he lands, and you gape at the accidental creation in amazement.

Giggling like teenagers, you retake his hand and bolt down the port, onto the wooden pier, and up to the edge of the boat. After showing your tickets to the sailor, you're let onto the ship, and the boat starts to set sail.

"We should rest," Mako says with heavy exhaustion, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. "We still have a long trip ahead to get to the Fire Nation."

"Just one thing," you beg in a sweet voice. "I want to see the sea, up close!"

Mako laughs. "You've never seen it before? You've lived here all your life!"

"I know, I know," you repeat, feeling your face flush from embarrassment. "I just...never got to see it up close. My family never left our manor, Mako. I never got to see anything the world had to offer, except when I was with you, and we never ventured this far."

Seeing the joyful look freedom has given you, Mako offers a smile and a nod, taking your hand one more time.

"C'mon, let's go see it up close."

You pull him by his hand, forcing him closer to you. Leaning up, you press a kiss to his cheek, and then to his lips.

"I love you," you whisper when you pull away. "More than anything."

Mako sighs and leans his forehead against yours. "More than the sea?"

"Yes," you chuckle. "Much more than the sea."

The playgrounds in Four were a lot bigger thanthe single one in Twelve and Effie was running herself frayed trying to keep aneye on the children. Next time, she vowed, she would force Finn to come withthem. He was a nice young twenty-three year old man and he would never refuseher. He was even sweeter on her than his father had been. It was shocking torealize Finn was older than Finnick had been when he had died and when she hadseen him waiting for them on the station’s platform with Annie and Johanna, shehad been forced to swallow back a gasp.

“Relax, sweetheart.” Haymitch snorted.“Willow’s right there.”

Willow was climbing the monkey bars, urging hernewfound friends on – she was just as reckless as her mother and just as promptto make friends as her father. Effie blamed most of her grey hair on the eightyears old.

“And Rye?” she worried.

“Still in the sandbox where we left him.” hepromised, relaxing further against the bench they were sitting on.

He looked tired, she noticed, briefly takingher attention away from the children to study him. One of his arms wasstretched behind her along the length of the wood, his other hand was on hisknee and his fingers were restlessly drumming an uneven rhythm. He alwayslooked restless since the surgery. Or perhaps it was having been forced to giveup liquor for good.

On bad days, days when he felt weak and sick,he blamed her for what he was going through. He would have simply given up anddied if she had let him, let cirrhosis win and take him away from her… She hadfought and fought until he had surrendered and accepted to go to the Capitol toget a second opinion and then she had fought and fought until he gave in andagreed to have the operation. They could do all sort of things in the city, cure all sort of things that would haveotherwise been considered terminal. It simply had a price because those privateclinics didn’t operate pro-bono.

All their savings and a part of Peeta’s hadgone into getting him into that program and Plutarch still had been forced topull strings.

But it had been worth it. Oh, so worth it.

Now he had a brand new liver grown especiallyfor him from his own DNA – and perhaps it was similar to mutts and perhaps hehad had reasons to be wary but she didn’t care because he was alive. They wouldn’t have had much morethan a few more months together without that surgery and instead they had had twoyears and hopefully many more to come. Having to take meds every morning andnight and staying off the liquor were a small price to pay in her opinion.

“We are far too old for this.” she sighed.  At fifty-eight, she didn’t have the energyshe used to and the children were a handful on the best day. At sixty-four,Haymitch was even less partial to entire days spent watching children all tooprone to accidents. Babysitting was fine but she wasn’t sure how they wouldsurvive an entire week as their sole caretakers. “Next time, they can send themto Annie and Johanna.”

Truth be told, that week was supposed to be asecond honeymoon for Peeta and Katniss who had packed up for Seven while theytook the children to Four for the traditional summer trip. The children wouldjoin them later, at which point, Haymitch and Effie would switch hotels for asmaller cozier one where they would be able to have some honeymoon time of their own.

Haymitch tossed her an incredulous glance. “Youwanna send your preciousgrandchildren away for a whole week with only Annie and Johanna to supervise?”

“They didn’t do such a bad job raising Finn.”she countered.

His lips twitched into a smirk. “Have you metWillow?”

“Point taken.” she chuckled. Willow and Johannawould be a bad mix. Willow was always up to all sorts of shenanigans and Jo wasalways too willing to humor her. “Oh, no! Rye is crying…”

The three years old must have gotten some sandinto his eyes. Effie was already halfway up but Haymitch waved her down,hauling himself off the bench to hurry to the boy. Despite his grumpy attitude,she watched as Haymitch’s irritation melted around the baby of the family. Ifanyone had ever told her she would see Haymitch Abernathy, Quarter Quellvictor, willingly sit down in a sandbox to play with a little boy, she wouldhave laughed hard enough to break a rib.

Rye being safe with Haymitch, she turned herattention back to Willow who had now urged her little group of friends to theslide. They were apparently playing at having an adventure and Effie smiledwith fondness at the girl’s antics. She was having the time of her life, itseemed. Hopefully, if she exhausted herself enough she wouldn’t beg to go tothe beach later on. Effie refused to let the children in the water if there wasno adult to supervise – which often meant herif Annie or Finn were otherwise engaged. She could never say no, of course, it was the point of theholidays after all but… She wouldn’t have minded a quiet afternoon, truth betold. A fashion magazine, a cocktail…

Perhaps they could take the children furtherdown the pier where there were carousels and ice cream to distract them fromthe ocean when they would be done playing. They would enjoy it and they couldall go to the beach in the morning instead of…

“Miss Trinket?”

Effie looked up at the woman who had called hername, adjusting her pink sunglasses on her nose to see better – she was up toall tricks to keep people from knowing her sight wasn’t as good as it once was,she wore contacts and had her sunglasses corrected. It took her a few minutesto place her because it had been years since she had given her any thought atall.

“Mrs Everdeen…” she said slowly, without anywarmth.

Her feelings about the woman had always beensomehow mixed because she didn’t believe an eleven years old should have beenforced to care for her family when there was a capable adult present. But thathad been another world and she could have understood if the woman hadn’t packedup and left right before the end of Katniss’ trial, leaving Haymitch forced tostep up to take custody of the girl and thus compelled to leave her behind in the Capitol to look afterPeeta when she had barely been able to take care of herself and when theirrelationship had been at a very fragile breaking point. It had added a lot ofdifficulties that the obvious pain Katniss had felt at her mother’s desertionhadn’t helped curb. Never mind the lack of surprise on the girl’s part.

The healer looked hesitant but she flashed hera small smile. “I thought it was you. You haven’t changed at all.”

Effie patted her dyed strawberry blond hairself-consciously, she kept the reddish hue because Haymitch was fond of it andbecause it was close to its original colors. There were lines at the corner ofher eyes but she supposed the sunglasses hid those. The blue summer dresshugged a figure that, fortunately, was still appealing enough in her ownopinion, the scars having faded enough in the last two decades not to be sonoticeable. The hands, though, were the dead giveaway. They were old woman’shands now. Wrinkled and sometimes swollen at the joints, preventing her fromsewing or knitting.

Wait until you hitsixty, Haymitchalways mocked because it was went his body had finally cried uncle for him. Notonly the liver but his knees and his back.

“You neither.” she offered politely.

It wasn’t a far cry from the truth. AsterEverdeen looked the same, albeit a little older. Her blond hair was mostlywhite now, it fell in a long braid over her shoulder. Delicate hands wereclutching the strap of a medical bag passed over a shoulder over a medicaluniform of some sort.

“Are you still living in Twelve?” the womanasked with a touch of… eagerness. “Katniss mentioned you had moved there a fewyears ago.”

Effie pursed her lips. As far as she knew,Katniss had had almost no contact with her mother aside from the occasionalphone calls in the years after the war – and those phone calls had becomeshorter and shorter until they had simply stopped. Aster hadn’t come to thewedding and the girl had never forgiven her for it.

She glanced at the boy who was now busy withhis favorite game of let’s climb Grandpa andwondered if the woman even knew about them. How long since the last timeKatniss had talked to her mother? She remembered it had been a big deal duringKatniss’ first pregnancy, how the girl had uncharacteristically sought her company at odd times because shefelt insecure and needed the input of another woman, one she was close to andto whom she could confide things that would have had Peeta and Haymitchrunning.

“I have been living in Twelve for more thantwenty years, yes.” she confirmed. “With Haymitch.”

“Oh, of course.” Aster smiled awkwardly. It was public knowledge after all. It hadmade quite the scandal and they had appeared together at various officialevents since then – the anniversaries of the rebellion weren’t things they wereallowed to miss, particularly when they hit a new milestone. The healer clearedher throat. “And how’s…”

“Grandma!” Willow shouted, choosing that momentto come running to the bench. “Grandma! Can I get Tali’s number so I can callher tomorrow for a play date, please? Her mother says I can have it and we cangive her Auntie Annie’s if you say it’s okay.”

Effie glanced from the flushed girl to thewoman who was standing next to another bench with a little girl, clearly aboutto leave. She rummaged in her bag for a piece of paper and quickly scribbledAnnie’s number on it. Willow snatched it from her hand and was gone before shecould even blink.

She shook her head with an amusement thatquickly faded when she looked back at Aster. The healer was staring at thechild.

“I didn’t know you had children.” Mrs Everdeencommented.

“I don’t.” she denied. “Not biologic onesanyway. Willow is…”

She never had time to confirm what the womanprobably already suspected because the girl was back, her prize clutched in herlittle fist. “Can you keep it safe for me, Grandma? I really like Tali. I don’twant to lose it.”

“Of course, darling.” she promised, placing thepiece of paper with her little friend’s number in her purse for safekeeping.“Wait.” she ordered before the child could scamper away. “Here, drinksomething. It’s too hot to be running around without proper hydration.”

Willow took the plastic bottle full ofstrawberry flavored water without protest and dutifully sipped from it, knowingthat the sooner she complied the quicker she would be allowed to go back toplaying. Her grey eyes fell on Aster and her eyebrows shot up, she pointed outat the woman’s hair. “My mommy does the same kind of braids.”

“Does she, now?” Aster breathed out, her eyesshiny. She dropped on the bench next to Effie who had half a mind to protestbut didn’t quite know how to handle the whole thing. What would Katniss wanther to do? It wasn’t her place todecide how to introduce the woman.

“Yep.” the girl nodded enthusiastically.“You’re a friend of Grandma?”

Mrs Everdeen flinched and Effie realized itmust have been a slap in the face to realize she was grandma. Their biologicalgrandmother was a stranger to them.

“I…” Aster hesitated.

“Hey, squirrel, why don’t you go back to playingwith your friends, yeah?” Haymitch suddenly cut in, his voice a touch wary.“They look like they’re waiting for you.”

Willow didn’t need to be told twice. She tossedthe bottle at Haymitch who caught it easily despite the boy clinging to hisneck and snickering hard at the game. It wasn’t long before Haymitch hadsecured the three years old against his chest and had handed him the bottle hissister had left behind. Rye took a few sips with obvious relief. He was lessflushed than Willow but it was clear he wouldn’t have minded some peace andquiet. The way he was rubbing his eyes, Effie figured it wouldn’t be longbefore he took a short nap. Without him needing to ask, she handed him the frayedstuffed horse that usually resided in her bag when it wasn’t in his arms. Hewedged it between Haymitch and his body, cuddling it close.  

“Hello, Haymitch.” Aster said, a bit waryherself. “Hello, young man.” Rye peered at her under his long eyelashes andthen buried his face in Haymitch’s neck, placing his horse over his head forgood measure. The woman smiled sadly. “I trust this one isn’t yours either?”

Effie shook her head. “Why don’t you say helloto the nice lady, Rye?” The boy clung to Haymitch a little tighter and refusedto look at the stranger. She shrugged apologetically. “He is a bit shy but heis such a sweet child…”

“He’s tired.” Haymitch said, his grey eyesnever wandering away from Aster. Effie knew that look. It was the way hewatched out for threats. “I was coming to tell you we should bring the kidshome.”

“Wait.”Aster pleaded, sounding scared. She searched Haymitch’s gaze, found no sympathythere and turned to Effie. “How old are they?”

She hesitated but really… “Willow is eight and Rye is three.”

“Rye…”the woman repeated. “Wasn’t one of Peeta’s brother…”

“Yes. His favorite one.” Effie nodded.

“Oh…” Aster breathed out, desperately staringat Willow who was once more leading her friends in an adventure. “But Katnissdidn’t name the girl after…”

“It was too difficult for her.” she interruptedswiftly. Rye was now watching them without looking like it and he was a brightlittle thing. He would tell his sister who was naturally curious and would putthe puzzle back together. Questions would be asked if certain names wereraised. “We all wanted a clean slate.”

Naming the children after dead friends andfamily members… Nobody had opposed Peeta’s choice to give his son his favoritebrother’s name because none of them had been close to the dead young man. Primnow… It would have been too painful. Rue had been pushed aside for the samereason. In the end, Katniss had decided her children wouldn’t carry that sortof weight.

“And they call you Grandma.” Aster stated,almost accusative.

Effie opened her mouth, feeling all defensive,but Haymitch got there first and there was a growl in his voice that hadintimidated more than one powerful person. “Cause she’s there.”

“Do they know you aren’t their realgrandmother?” the healer asked.

And it hurt.

It hurt alot.

She looked down at her knees, brushing imaginarycreases off her blue dress. Haymitch automatically cradled the back of Rye’shead as if to shield him from those words. Unfortunately, the boy’s blue eyeswere staring straight at Effie who gave him a small reassuring smile. It wasenough for the child to smile back before he started sucking on his thumb. Itwas a habit they were trying to break him out of but she didn’t chide him forit.

“Now, you listen and you listen hard.” Haymitch hissed. “Effie’s just asreal as…”

“Enough.” Effie declared, standing up.

“Sweetheart.” he warned with a  glare, clearly dying to say his piece. He hadclaimed to understand Aster’s decision to not go back to Twelve after the warbut her behavior since then, her failure to come back into Katniss’ life hadleft him angry and bitter. He hated to see his victor hurt.

“Darling.” she replied in the same warningtone. She found another piece of paper in her bag and scribbled Annie’s numberfor the second time before handing it to Aster. “Katniss and Peeta will join usnext week. Call your daughter if you wish to see your grandchildren.”

“Don’t call if you’re just gonna take offagain.” Haymitch snapped. “They’re kids,not toys. You can’t just waltz in their lives and disappear right after.”

“I didn’t disappear, I left her with you.”Aster protested faintly, rubbing her face. “I could never have… I knew you werethe best choice, Haymitch. I knew you would look after her better than I evercould have. She had always been closer to her father, you know, and you… Youfilled that gap in her life.”

“Yeah, well…” he grumbled. “Effie filled theone you left so…” He shook his head.“I mean it, Aster. If you call, you better be ready to own it.”

“Willow!” Effie signaled to the girl they wereready to leave and the child came running, wrapping her arms around her middlewith pleading eyes. “No, darling, we really need to go home. Your brother wantshis nap.” she said firmly before Willow could beg for five more minutes thatwould turn into a half hour. “However Iwas thinking that after a nap and a snack we might just go to the pier.”

Where there would be carousels and all sorts ofgames and where, she was sure, they would end up with one of those giganticstuffed toys Haymitch grumbled so much about because they had ended up with ahuge stuffed panda and a zoo of smaller animals in their guest room given thatWillow was running out of space to stock them at home.

The girl’s eyes brightened and she squeezed herwaist harder. “You’re the best Grandma in the whole world!”  

Aster flinched and Effie almost felt sorry forher. Almost.

It had been her choice to give up on herdaughter after all.

“How about me, squirrel?” Haymitch scowled,faking a pout. “Don’t even get a hug? I smell or what?”

Willow laughed, carefree and happy, andswitched targets to barrel into Haymitch. He winced a little when her head hitthe always tender spot on his stomach but it was soon smoothed away by anexpression of utter fondness.

“I am afraid we have to go.” Effie told Aster,polite but a touch cold. “Do consider giving your daughter a call.”

They didn’t give her a lot of time to ponderthat. Haymitch herded the children away, Willow clinging to his hand. Theyhadn’t gone really far from the playground when the girl grabbed Effie’s freehand so she could walk between them and peered up at her curiously. “Who wasthe lady?”

“An old acquaintance.” she dismissed.

The word seemed to puzzle Willow who made aface and turned to Haymitch for clarification.

“Just someone we used to know, sweetheart.” heshrugged. “Don’t worry about it.”

Willow pondered that and then probably decidedit wasn’t worth her interest because she started hopping happily between them.“Can Finn take us to the aquarium again sometimes? I like watching the fish.”

“We will ask him tonight.” Effie promised. “Butif he can’t we won’t insist, alright?”

Finn had been working at the aquarium since thebeginning of the year and she didn’t want him to get in trouble for them. Heloved his job, he loved taking care of animals, and she wasn’t sure giving themthe behind the scenes tour had beencleared with his superiors.

“Okay.” the girl agreed readily. She escapedtheir hands to run a little ahead.

“Stay in sight!” Effie demanded, shaking herhead at how impetuous that child was. A glance at Rye confirmed the boy was nowsound asleep in Haymitch’s arms. “What did you think?”

“Not sure.” he admitted. “Just hope she’sserious about it if she decides to call Katniss. The girl’s been let downenough.” His lips twitched with anger. “She had some nerves too, saying you’renot their real grandmother. What’s thatsupposed to mean? Who was there when Katniss went into labor? Who changeddiapers? Who stayed up all night with the kids when Willow had that fever?Who’s always there to watch the babies when the kids need some air?” Hescoffed. “Got some nerves, I’m telling you.”

She smiled at how protective he was of her butwaved a dismissive hand in the air. “She was just jealous, I think. What I getto be to those children… She will never have it.”

He seemed a little surprised. “Didn’t botheryou?”

“The comment did a little.” she admitted.“But…” She shrugged. “A few years ago, I would have been afraid of her stealingthem all away from me. Now… Now I know nothing can drive us apart.”

They had all been close since the war, theyformed a solid family unit that the children’s babies had only strengthened.But after Haymitch’s health troubles… Katniss and Peeta had rallied around themin a way that had brought her close to tears a few times. Katniss had beggedhim to take the surgery, she had raged until she had burst out in full sobs andshe hadn’t stopped until he had held her close like he almost never did becauseneither of them were touchy-feely –as they claimed. Peeta was the one who had sat Haymitch down and had forced himto consider everything he would be leaving behind if he chose to just give upand accept his fate – not only Effie but Katniss and him and grand-children whoworshiped the ground he walked on. The children had been there every step ofthe way. They hadn’t come to the Capitol with them but they had called threetimes a day to check on him, to talk to him, to make sure everything was goingas best as possible – to the point he had one day exclaimed that he didn’t needto be that coddled, all the whileflushing red in embarrassment and, Effie was sure, pleasure at knowing he wasloved that much.

So, no,she wasn’t scared of Aster Everdeen coming and stealing the matriarch placeback because that place belonged to Effie and to Effie alone. Katniss herselfhad confessed she felt closer to her than to her own mother. There was noquestion about how Peeta felt about her. And the babies… Well… Willow and Ryeloved her, she knew it deep down and she was secured in that knowledge.

“Look at you being all wise.” he teased.

“It suits me well, I think.” she teased rightback.

It didn’t have to be all hers or all Aster’s.She could share a little of them.

But it was Aster Everdeen’s decision to takethat first step.
