A Big Decision (Teen Dad!Oscar AU)

(Part 8 of Teen Dad!OP au [Can be read on its own])

Summary: It is time to pop the big question

The twins had finally gone down for a nap after spending so long fighting it. The kids, at age three, have started to fight them more and more, leading their parents to start discussing if it's time for naps to stop. Honey, being a stay at home mom, had needed the nap time as much as her kids had in the past, giving her time to catch up on chores or just rest for a little, so she was really trying to get as much time as she could with it. But maybe it truly was over.

She was surprised to see Oscar pacing in their living room once she went back downstairs.

“Well, aren't you home early?” She says as Oscar immediately wraps his arms around her, burying his head in her neck and kissing it.

“Missed you all, did what they needed from me extra fast so I could get home earlier. Thought we could maybe go out tonight?”

“Oscar, it's a friday night. Do you know how impossible getting a babysitter would be? The kids also take a while to warm up to babysitters, I don’t think it's a good idea.”

“Good thing I thought ahead then. Lando had a free night and has been begging to see them after the last ‘betrayal’ when they wore Sargeant hats. Even better, he said he would do it for free if it meant working towards being the favorite.”

“Oscar, you can’t get your coworkers to babysit your twin toddlers for free by dangling favoritism in their faces.”

“It was his idea! I am just capitalizing off of it. I got us a nice reservation too, we just need to let him now in the next…” Oscar checks his wrist where his watch usually rests but finds it missing, “uh now. So I need an answer quickly, are we going to stay home and eat the same leftovers we have had for the past two days, or are we going to make Lando Norris the happiest man alive by letting him watch our kids for free while we have an amazingly romantic dinner?” Oscar quickly asks as he takes his ex-fiancee, now girlfriend, in his arms.

“Fine, let's go out, we could use the night off. Let Lando know I appreciate him watching them for us.”

“Perfect, why don’t you go out, do something nice for yourself, I'll take over with the kids. We still have time before dinner tonight.” Oscar suggested in a strange tone as he kissed all surface area of her face.

“What is up with you today? I don’t mind it but you are so much more touchy.” She laughed.

“Don’t worry bout a thing.” Was all he replied as he walked away. “Tonight will be the best yet, I promise.”

That’s when it struck her, why he was being so weird. Surely, he was going to propose.

After the huge fight in Suzuka, she had called the engagement off, causing them to ignore each other’s existence unless it came to the kids, for seven weeks. Since they had gotten back together, life had been blissful. Sure, it was most likely the ‘honeymoon’ phase of their relationship, but even so, they had been so ready to marry each other before things started going downhill. Maybe days after they got back together isn’t the right time to get engaged, but they had been to hell and back together since they got pregnant at 18 years old, they were it for each other, always would be.

Oscar taking off of racing had also been a blessing. It had been hard for him, certainly. But he had needed to learn how to put his family first again, a priority that got harder to keep up with since joining Formula 1.

As she sat in the nail salon chair, getting what were hopefully her engagement nails done, she thought back to how far they’d come.

Arriving home with her nails done, and after getting the most amazing massage, Honey was giddy as she greeted her, hopefully, soon to be fiancé. After an hour and a half of filling her head with wedding plans and thinking about their future when she would finally get to be Mrs. Piastri after 7 years, she was more excited then she was the first time he proposed.

This excitement continued from the moment she stepped into the shower, till the moment she sat in her seat at the restaurant. Oscar had hired a driver for the night, saying it was a night all for them, no need to be careful of how many drinks they were going to have, he had also told her he had plans to take them to the beach after where they could finish the night with a picnic by the water and stay as late as they liked.

There was one thing that was off about him though, while she had expected nerves, she had also expected excitement from him and soon noticed the more giggly she was, the more upset he seemed to be. Maybe he realized she had caught on?

She finally asked what was up after he spilt his drink.

“Seriously Osc, what is wrong with you? You claim this is such a nice night for just the two of us but you are a mess right now!”

“It’s nothing, I’m sorry I don’t know why I’m like th-”

“Bullshit. I thought I made it clear how awful of a liar you are Oscar Jack Piastri, just tell me. Please?”

Silence filled the air as he stared at her, words failing.

“I will get up if you don’t-”

“I had a meeting with higher ups at McLaren earlier today and was told if I don’t come back then I am out of the contract and I agreed to come back for the Spanish Grand Prix!” Oscar blurted out.

Again, a heavy silence landed on the couple, both of them daring the other one to speak first.

Then, without a single word, Honey got up from the table and walked to the car leaving Oscar at the table, tears starting to fall.

Part 2 out now!

Hi. I'm a little confused about how your Mews, Mewtwos and Randell are related to each other, after seeing the Randell holding momo and Midas comic.

What's their stories? I'm a bit new to your comics.

Hello, new viewer, now and future! I'll try my best to explain the relations here! There's also a bit of a rundown on my pinned post, but it may not be enough to help you. So here's a more detailed look!

To start, I'll say that Randall, Akoya, and Lavender all have a human and a Mew form. (Or Mewtwo, in Lav's case.)

The protagonist, Randall (Randy) Linden, is a human who had his memory taken in by his friend, a Mew named Mo. Now Mo, with his own memories erased, lives Randy's life in his place.

Before that happened, Randy met Akoya, a shiny Mew from an uninhabited island in Hoenn. She and him became friends--Borderline lovers, but Randy stopped the relationship short of that due to his own values. (He didn't want to have a human/Pokemon romance, nor force Akoya to permanently become human.)

With research help from Randy and the facility he was working at, Akoya was artificially impregnated. However, the people there experimented on her, resulting in the baby being born a Mewtwo, which Randy named Lavender. (She is biologically not related to him, and she knows that, but she fully sees him as her dad.)

Three weeks after Lav was born, Randy was "transferred" into Mo's body. Later, after learning and adjusting to this fact, Randy decides he wants to be Akoya's mate. She goes a step further and offers to marry him, hence why Randy (and Akoya's human form) is shown to have a wedding ring. Marriage isn't a thing in Mew culture, but she was devoted to him enough to act on his culture and values.

Once he was comfortable enough as a Mew, Randy was open to trying for a kid with her. But after Lav's birth, Akoya had a lot of fear having any more kids--Lav's birth was arduous and nearly killed Akoya.

Eventually, Akoya was ready to try, and they had the twins Monique and Midas--Monique also goes by Momo.

Persim, nicknamed Perzi, is Akoya's half-brother from her island colony. She has several half-siblings, with a shared father.

And that's where the present day is. I'll continue to tell the past stories, as well as moving forward.

To hopefully further explain, here's a little family tree.

I hope this helps people understand better! I know that this story, especially now that babies are involved, will be very bizarre if caught at the wrong time. If it's not for you, I completely understand! But I ask that you respect my artistic decisions and either look deeper into it or move on--there's a LOT of other great options out there!

#Ask #Pokemon #Mew #Mewtwo #Shiny #Linden Mews #For the record...#Lav's biological father is little more that a means to make her exist #So don't expect greatness from his “reveal”#And no I don't plan on doing much with Akoya's siblings

[ 𝙼𝚒𝚢𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚠𝚊 𝙰𝚔𝚒𝚘'𝚜 𝚃𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚕 𝟹 𝚅𝙳] 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚁𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝-𝙷𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙼𝚊𝚗'𝚜 𝙱𝚎𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚢𝚊𝚕

time to judge the prisoners let's go! the first pair is akio and aimi as always. i feel like i know what akio's trial 3 verdict is going to be but when it comes to aimi.. i'm not so sure.

Warnings for Akio's VD: descriptions of murder and violence (specifically hanging), a mention of a character throwing up.

Warnings for Akio's MV: toxic relationship themes, hanging

(sounds of footsteps)

Hinode: So.. Time to interrogate the first prisoner.

Hinode: Hopefully, I'll have enough energy to interrogate all ten of them, haha.

Miki: Well, if something happens, we can rely on Eiji-san.

Hinode: Um, Miki-san.. I'm not sure when Eiji-san will be able to join us-

Miki: But he will join us, right?

Hinode: .. Y-yeah, definitely.

Miki: So we have nothing to be worried about, right?

Miki: "I just.. hope that he will forgive me for voting Kei-san innocent."

(the door opens)

Hinode: Hello, Akio-san. I hope you're ready for your interrogation.

Hinode: How are you feeling-

Akio: I'd prefer it if we could just get started already.

Hinode: .. O-okay then.

Miki: "There's a screen on the wall.. Is Eiji-san supposed to appear on it?"

Miki: "There's probably a screen like that in every single cell then.."

(sounds of Hinode and Miki sitting down)

Miki: We'll start with a few questions that aren't related to your crime, but to your life in Milgram instead.

Miki: As we.. you know.. usually do.

Miki: What can you tell us about your condition?

Akio: .. It's fine. Definitely better than what it used to be, at least.

Akio: I can read and write again, but uh..

Akio: I still need help sometimes. My head still hurts a lot too.

Akio: .. Will I always have that scar there?

Hinode: Your injury was very serious, so I wouldn't be surprised if it did stay there for a while or even for the rest of your life.

Hinode: I'm still not sure how you got treated.. From what I've seen, that injury really was bad..

Hinode: Like.. How are you still alive?

Akio: ...

Hinode: O-oh, sorry, a weird question, I know, haha..

Akio: .. I actually don't know how much I have left.

Miki: Huh?

Akio: I mean, sure, maybe I feel better at the moment, but what if you vote me guilty again this time?

Akio: If you punish me again, I..

Akio: ...

Akio: Yeah, I'll die for sure.

Hinode: Well, we can just make your punishment more psychological in nature, right? Also, let's not assume your future verdict for now. It's better if we don't make any predictions until we learn more about your crime and watch your video.

Akio: Heh, like a punishment like that would be any better.

Akio: .. Will my body still be like this if I'm able to get out?

Akio: H-how will I explain this to my parents..

Miki: "I've never thought about this actually.."

Hinode: I'm sure that you'll be able to finally get actual help if you're able to leave. Let's be more optimistic about it.

Miki: "And we still don't know who exactly treated Miyagawa-san.."

Miki: "If this place has a doctor, shouldn't we know about them? And why didn't they help us during the second trial?"

Miki: "Oh, right."

Miki: Miyagawa-san, do you remember anything about the person who treated your injury?

Akio: Um.. I wouldn't say I was fully conscious when it happened and I couldn't open my eyes, but I think I heard someone talking.

Akio: I think it was a man's voice. Probably around, uh..

Akio: This guy's age.

Hinode: M-my name is Hinode-

Akio: Whatever.

Miki: "So, a man in his twenties.."

Miki: "It's a shame that Miyagawa-san couldn't see what he looked like, I wonder if he's actually very attractive-"

Miki: ".. This personality trait of mine is getting annoying."

Miki: Ah, do you remember what he was talking about, Miyagawa-san?

Akio: I think he was just mostly talking to himself?.. Just rambling about stuff.

Akio: He probably assumed that I was completely unconscious, so he felt like he could talk about anything he wanted.

Akio: .. I remember him saying something about the prison guards though.

Miki: Prison guards?..

Hinode: So.. He was talking about us, huh?..

Akio: Maybe. I have no idea, my memories are really blurry.

Akio: .. Can we talk about my murder already?

Miki: Oh, uh, s-sure, but..

Miki: .. Don't you want to talk about the other prisoners too? Like, what's your relationship with-

Akio: How is it supposed to be related to my murder? You're here to solve it, or what?

Hinode: Your current relationships can say a lot about your past, so-

Akio: Stop trying to sound smart, nobody cares.

Hinode: O-okay.

Akio: .. My relationship with Riku is better now. That's all I'm going to say.

Miki: "He's calling him by his first name.."

Miki: "Wait, didn't he-"

Miki: ".. I should ask him about that."

Miki: Thank you for saving him, Miyagawa-san. Even though you've almost died because of what he said to you, you still saved his life.

Miki: Hehe, you really are a good person.

Akio: Shut up.

Miki: ".. Maybe he felt guilty about his murder and that's why he tried to save someone's life?.."

Miki: What about your relationship with Hanasaki-san? Are you still close?

Akio: .. She's been acting weird lately. I do not like that.

Miki: "Weird"? What do you mean?

Akio: You know exactly what I'm talking about. I mean, she doesn't talk to anyone except you nowadays.

Akio: It's like she's obsessed with you or something.

Hinode: Just like your accomplice was obsessed with you?

Akio: !

Akio: .. So we're gonna talk about that, huh.

Akio: Okay, bring it on.

Hinode: So, if we were to tell the story of your crime..

Hinode: There were three main characters: your accomplice, Saito Arata-san, your victim, Kitami Chise-san, and well, of course, you.

Hinode: You were in charge of all the planning when it came to the murder and you also were the one who really hated Chise-san, meanwhile Arata-san was the one who did all the dirty work. A king would never kill someone with his own hands, he needs an executioner for that, right?

Akio: .. Are you making fun of me?

Hinode: But then, something went wrong between you and Arata-san. Perhaps it was some kind of argument? Maybe one of you didn't like the plan so much? Maybe one of you suddenly felt sorry for Chise-san?

Hinode: Maybe something went wrong in the middle of the murder?

Akio: ...

Hinode: Actually, Miki-san, I'm surprised you and Eiji-san never asked Akio-san about this very important part of his murder.

Miki: Huh? What are you talking about-

Hinode: I'm talking about the murder method.

Hinode: How exactly did you plan to kill him, Akio-san?

Akio: .. I'm sure you saw something like that in my videos. I mean, they're supposed to show my murder, right?

Miki: "I remember seeing something like that in his second video.. What was it.."

Miki: ".. Oh."

Miki: Miyagawa-san, this might be a weird question, but..

Miki: .. Did Kitami-san die by hanging?

Akio: !

Akio: W-wait.. Y-you really saw it?

Miki: There was a lot of.. hanging symbolism in one of your videos.

Hinode: Fitting for someone who saw himself as a king of his class. It's a pretty popular execution method, after all.

Akio: I-I.. I didn't think you'd actually.. see it..

Hinode: There's one thing that really bothers me though.

Hinode: Akio-san, why exactly did you go with hanging as your murder method?

Akio: ...

Akio: I thought it was.. easy to do.

Akio: Like.. we just needed a rope and a stool and that's all..

Hinode: Hmm, I'm sure there must be more to it.

Hinode: You really hated Chise-san, right? So why go easy on him?

Hinode: If you do it right, hanging is supposed to be quick, right? You know, neck snaps, ouch!.. And that's it, you're dead.

Hinode: Like, that's one of the reasons why it's such a popular execution method. Like, we're killing someone, but we're doing it so quickly, they won't realize what happened to them! We're so nice!

Hinode: .. I just don't understand why a king like you would go with an execution method like that.

Akio: .. I-

Hinode: Also, there was this scene in your second video..

Hinode: Like I've said, hanging is supposed to be quick. But..

Hinode: What did Chise-san look like, Akio-san?

Akio: Huh? Why do you need to know-

Hinode: Answer the question, please. This is an interrogation, after all.

Akio: .. Blond hair, dark pink eyes. Freckles. A stupid smile of his that always looks way too wide and annoying.

Hinode: Oh, so that's who we saw in that video.

Akio: !

Akio: Wh-

Akio: What are you-

Miki: So that boy really was Kitami-san..

Hinode: Then answer me this, Akio-san.

Hinode: If hanging is supposed to be quick and painless, why could we see so many bloody marks on his neck?

Akio: .. Ah..

Akio: I.. I-it..

Miki: Are you okay, Miyagawa-san?

Akio: I-it wasn't..

Akio: *stands up* IT WASN'T MY FAULT, OKAY?!

Akio: I'VE TOLD HIM THAT WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL, THAT WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO MY PLAN, BUT HE DIDN'T LISTEN!

Akio: IT WAS ALL HIS IDEA! IT WAS HIS FAULT! HIS FAULT, HIS FAULT, HIS FAULT, HIS FAULT-

Miki: P-please calm down, Miyagawa-san, you're still injured-

Akio: .. My head hurts. *sits down*

Hinode: So, by "his fault".. You mean Arata-san, right?

Akio: .. Yes.

Hinode: What did Arata-san do?

Akio: .. W-we didn't just kill him.

Akio: We, uh..

Akio: W-we tortured him.

Miki: You what??

Hinode: This boy committed murder, but you draw the line at torture?

Miki: N-no, it's just-

Akio: I-it was my idea too. Arata went along with it.

Akio: It's like he looked.. excited, even.

Akio: When Chise woke up, the rope was already on his neck. He started to panic and try to get the rope off, but then Arata made the stool shake and Chise quickly stopped.

Akio: He wasn't hanging exactly, he was just standing on it, but one wrong move could cost him his life.

Akio: A-and then I..

Akio: I-I started to taunt him and..

Akio: H-he never was the brightest student in class, so I just continued to ask him questions and make him solve problems and told him that if he keeps giving me the wrong answers, w-we will kill him.

Miki: ...

Miki: .. You're messed up, Miyagawa-san.

Hinode: So what happened after?

Akio: .. Arata moved the stool. Chise's neck did not break.

Akio: He continued to try to get the rope off his neck. He kept trying to say something.

Akio: .. T-this went for at least five minutes-

(sounds of Akio throwing up)

Miki: Miyagawa-san!

(sounds of Miki's footsteps)

Miki: Hinode-san, do you have anything-

Hinode: Here, you can wipe it off with this.

Hinode: So.. A botched execution, huh?

Miki: Hinode-san, thanks for helping. Now shut up, please.

Akio: T-this.. This is what I meant when I said that it never was m-my fault..

Akio: H-he told me he has experience with it.. T-that it really will be quick and painless..

Miki: "Experience with it?! So Miyagawa-san ended up here, but that guy didn't?!"

Akio: T-that's why I ran away right after w-we were done.. I-I couldn't even look at him anymore after that..

(bell rings, machinery sounds)

Miki: Miyagawa-san, before we extract your video, please answer one question. You can go and rest after this.

Akio: Wow, that's so nice of you, haha..

Miki: .. I noticed that you usually call everyone by their last names, but when it comes to people you're close with, you call them by their first names.

Miki: Like you called Hanasaki-san by her last name at first, but after she saved you, you started to call her by her first name.

Miki: So I just wanted to ask..

Miki: Why are you calling your victim "Chise" even though you claim you hated him?

Akio: ...

Akio: .. Isn't that for you to figure out?

Akio: You already got the murder method and my reaction to his death. You don't have to be a genius like me to put all these things together.

Miki: .. I see. Thank you.

Miki: Hinode-san- Ah, he's asleep.

Miki: Well then..

Miki: Prisoner 001, Akio, please sing your sins.

[ Akio's Trial 3 MV: Experiment: Failed ]

The video starts with showing us that Akio is sitting in some kind of lab and working on his computer, he's even dressed up as some kind of scientist. He is going through the files he has on his computer and suddenly notices something suspicious in one of them. But before he can open it, he gets distracted because Arata walks up to him, offers him some coffee and smiles at him. He seems to be a scientist working here too.

"I'm the one who planned this, so trust me, it's gonna be fine

I'm the expert in this field, nothing can go wrong

This is what I tell myself every morning or otherwise I'll break down

Only your smile can keep me sane, so just stay here, it's gonna be fine"

Akio just sighs and accepts the coffee and forgets about the file.

The video cuts to Akio explaining something to Arata and writing something on a chalkboard. Arata stands up and starts writing something on it too. Akio seems to disagree with him and starts correcting him. After a playful fight, they seem to finally agree on something and they shake their hands.

"I'm the smart one here, the "genius child", that's what they call me

You're the strong one here, nothing scares you, that's what you've told me

Let's work together, I'll do the planning, you'll do the killing-

Oh, what did I just say? Well, whatever, it's just our secret code for.."

When they walk away, we can see the chalkboard better and we see that they've actually been playing Hangman all this time.

Arata is now the one doing all the explaining and he seems to be very passionate about it. Akio is listening to him very intently and he can't stop staring at him.

"I know there must be something deeply wrong with you, I can see it in your eyes

But I can't help but feel curious, let me put your messed up brain in a jar

I wasn't born to solve love problems, so let's just hope the answer isn't "Break up""

When you look closer, you can notice that one of his eyes is slowly becoming more pink, meanwhile the other one is becoming more green. But it looks like Arata has some work for Akio to do and he drops a stack of papers on his desk.

"Solve the problem! You know the answer! Good job! I love you, love you, you can do it!

I can't concentrate with those words playing in my head!

Well, whatever, I know I'll get the best grade in loving you anyway

So keep looking at me, keep saying I'm a genius, please praise me once more"

Before Akio can say anything, Arata places his hand on his chin and looks him in the eyes. Akio blushes a bit and nods reluctantly. Right after that Arata walks away from him, not even taking a single look at him. Akio has no choice but to get to work.

On the next day, it looks like Akio spent the entire night working. He wakes up because he can hear someone talking and suddenly, Arata opens the door and Akio can see that Arata is not alone. He has brought Chise with him and the blond boy looks very excited to be here and he keeps looking around.

For some reason, Akio looks terrified, but he tries to stay calm after Chise looks at him and gives him a smile. Chise's smile seems to be very different from Arata's and it feels more warm and sincere, meanwhile Arata's is simply more polite.

"No, why did you do this? We're not ready yet, how am I supposed to act in this situation?

You don't know the whole truth, you don't know what happened between me and-"

Akio tries to look away from him and notices the way Arata is staring at both of them. He doesn't look pleased. Akio clenches his hands and nods and Arata looks to be happy with Akio agreeing to do something.

"No, I can't turn back now. What's done is done, I'll do the planning, you'll do the-"

Akio continues to work on his computer meanwhile Arata seems to be testing some kind of machine on Chise and Chise doesn't mind, it actually looks like he's having fun.

"An innocent victim? No, just a test subject, just another experiment

He's not that pure, that's what I want to believe

He'll fight back if he wants, don't let him fool you

Do whatever you want with him, I don't care at all"

Akio can't help but keep looking at them and then he remembers about the weird file and finally decides to check what's inside of it. Once he clicks on it, the computer screen suddenly goes red and the same happens to all the computers in the lab.

"Ah, I knew this plan was a bad idea from the start

Even geniuses like me make mistakes sometimes, okay?!

I just got a bit too confident, I got lost in my pride

I beg you, don't point at me and call me an idiot"

Akio starts panicking and he runs to the machine that Arata was testing and it looks like the thing is malfunctioning. Akio tries to help Chise, but Arata puts his hand on his shoulder and once again, gives him a smile.

"But you still tell me:

Solve the problem! You know the answer! Good job! I love you, love you, you can do it!

I can't concentrate with those words playing in my head!

Please comfort me, tell me everything's gonna be fine

I'm not going to be punished for my stupidity, right?"

Akio lets Chise's hand go and even tries to force a laugh and pretend everything is fine.

But then, the whole "illusion" of a lab shatters and we're brought back to reality. Akio blinks and he sees that they're not in this super cool laboratory, but in a dark and creepy basement. He sees that this whole time they weren't testing a machine on Chise. They were actually trying to hang him.

"It really was a bad idea from the start

Good boys like me aren't made for murder

Sorry for making you stain your hands like this

I'll lick all the blood off if it makes you feel better"

We can't see what happened to Chise in all the detail, but we can see his legs and his neck and there appear to be strange red marks on it. Even when most of his body can be seen, we can't make it out that well because of how dark the basement is and we can't see his face at all.

"Something went wrong, totally wrong

Something went wrong, oh so totally wrong

I admit my mistake, but don't punish me for it

It's too embarrassing for a king like me to beg for forgiveness"

Akio falls on the floor and covers his mouth with his hand and it looks like he's trying to calm himself down and pretend everything is okay again, but then he looks at Arata, hoping he can comfort him and to his horror, Arata can't stop staring at Chise's corpse and laughing. When Arata turns back to Akio, he looks way too excited for someone who just murdered an innocent person.

"You are the problem! I know the answer! You did the job! I hate you, hate you, I can't do it!

I can't concentrate with those words playing in my head!

So let me run away from you like a coward would

Just to get obsessed with you later again"

He tries to grab Akio's hand, but Akio pushes him away and looks terrified. Akio runs away and leaves the house. It's raining outside and he keeps running until he trips and falls and sees a paper crown lying on the ground. It's in a terrible condition because of the rain and it has some dirt on it too, but Akio still reaches to grab it. It's in his hands now and Akio looks at it and smiles. It's a sad smile, but still, a smile.

"Maybe, one day, I will be noticed

Maybe, one day, I will be recognized

Maybe, one day, someone will smile at me again

Maybe, one day, I won't need anyone's praise anymore"

He continues to lie on the ground as more and more rain drops fall on the paper crown. The video ends.

"A Night to Remember" A Loki/Fem! Reader Relationship: Asgardian God/Maneater Reader

Summary: The night is young and the jazz music of the bar flows through the windows and onto the evening street. Arriving at the bar, dressed in your favorite evening dress ready for another night of escapism and debauchery. Soon after finishing the first drink of the night, you join the other patrons on the dance floor. Where you find yourself swept off your feet and into the arms of a tall, dark, and handsome stranger. Word Count: 1,352 a/n: In honor of participating in NaNoWriMo and episode 5 of Loki dropping tonight, I bring a short story that I'll definitely plan on adding more to in the future. Chapter 2 of "A God's Favorite Angel" will hopefully be finished soon. Enjoy! Inspired by - "A Night to Remember" by Beabadoobee, Laufey "Haunted" by Laufey Written by noellegance _________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐ "A Night to Remember"

The cool evening breeze enters the bar as you open the door. You’ve come alone, in search of a temporary escape for the night. Whether that be at the bar itself, downing your favorite poisons as you forget about your responsibilities or occasionally indulging in intimacy with handsome strangers. You’ve found yourself soon becoming a regular patron, to the point where each of the several bartenders know more about you than just your name.

“Well don’t you look stunning, as always,” the bartender, Damon, greets you with an already prepared drink in hand. “How do you manage to look so beautiful everytime I see you?”

You chuckle at his attempt at flirting with you, but of course you knew he was just messing around. “You know, Damon, you would have better luck trying to earn more tips if you made better drinks.” Lifting the glass to your lips then setting it back down gently. Allowing yourself to think about the taste.

You’ve grown quite critical of the way drinks are prepared. Learning how to discern certain tastes, broadening your palette, finding what works for you and what doesn't. You also learned how to tell when a drink is well made or not.

“Ouch, point taken,” he chuckles. Taking out a rag from his apron that wraps around his waist. Wiping down the counter of any spills. “I’ve got other customers who love my drinks, just so we are clear.”

You quickly throw back the drink down your throat and swallow, “you’re getting better.” Setting the glass down on the bar and standing up. “I am going to dance, let me know if anyone of note comes over. I’m feeling bold tonight.”

“Will do, miss,” he salutes you before grabbing the glass you left on the bar and turns his attention to the other patrons waiting for their orders to be taken.

You decide to try your luck on the dance floor, allowing for the music to flow through you. Like a wave of elation filling your body. Allowing for your legs and arms to guide you through the crowd of patrons who are under the same euphoric trance as you.

You feel a hand gently take yours, spinning you around, and pulling you closer into him. Another hand goes to your waist, a pair of emerald green eyes gazing down into yours.

Without saying even a word, he has captured your attention. At the touch of his hand, you were at his mercy. You dare not say anything so as to not ruin the moment. Your gaze locked with his, unable to break away even if you tried.

He led the dance with grace and dominance. Guiding you along with the hand he has resting gently at your waist. This stranger made your heart race so quickly and you’ve yet to even learn his name.

You have danced with many strangers but none quite compare to him, to the one who raises you just barely off of the ground every few steps. Lifting you as if you weighed nothing more than a feather. You felt like you were flying, gliding through the dance floor. The intensity of the music rises in anticipation, elevating the intimate atmosphere even further.

To you, the world had stopped spinning and everything changed in that moment. Instead of being in the club, you were high above the clouds. The lights turned into the brightest of stars, the musical quartet on the stage transformed into a grand symphony, and the floor beneath you turned non existent.

He kept you in this state of euphoria for what felt like an eternity. But just as soon as you got lost in the presence of the stranger, the quickly you come down from your lavender haze.

The music ending, applause erupting, and the sound of the bar returns you back into reality. You were dumbfounded by the whole experience. The stranger continues to hold you close with a devilish grin plastered on his handsome face.

“You were remarkable, darling,” his voice, rich like a fine red wine with a raspiness to it. His english accent sending you over the edge with blood rushing to your cheeks. Painting your skin with a soft red hue.

“Who are you?” You cannot help but ask, you had to know the person who was able to sweep you off your feet so effortlessly. Both figuratively and literally.

You have kept your heart guarded for such a long time that you forgot what a real connection could truly felt like. Your walls built so high, closing you off from the rest of the world in hopes of keeping your heart safe. You’ve had lovers, many lovers, but you kept them at a distance. As to not risk the pain of another loss.

“I am Loki,” he gently grasps your hand. Raising it to his lips and plants a kiss on your knuckles. “What is your name, darling?”

You tell him your name, your heart continues to race with ardent curiosity of this man. You found yourself focusing all your attention on him. He watched as your eyes travel around his figure, he finds this little action of yours charming.

“I can’t help but notice your eyes cannot seem to find their focus. Is there something that intrigues you, my lady?” He cocks his head to the side with a knowing smirk.

He’s teasing you now. Making you increasingly more flustered. This wasn’t like you, at all, why does he have this much of an effect on you? What makes him so different?

He was a mystery, a handsome, dark, and captivating mystery. There was something about him that attracted to you without fail. But something within you, your intuition, tells, no… it screams that there is something dangerous about him.

Perhaps that was his allure. The fact that this mysterious stranger who effortlessly sent you to heaven and back with just a dance broke down the walls of your meticulously crafted identity.

The music was about to start again, but Loki decides to lead you away from the dance floor and toward the bar. Once the both of you have some privacy away from the bustling bodies of the dance floor, he strikes up conversation once more.

“Your eyes are so expressive, you know.” He raises his hand toward the bartender, Damon, signaling that he is ready to order a drink. “They say the eyes are windows to the soul. I’m beginning to believe them to be right.”

As soon as you see Damon working the bar, you wake up from the trance that you were under and grin. Your gaze meeting with his once again. “Let’s play a game then.” You adjust your body to face him, leaning your side against the bar.

“Oh? A game?” Loki raises his eyebrow. “Go on.”

“You’ve made me quite curious about you, Loki. So how about this, one of us makes a statement about the other. If that statement is true then you have to drink, if it isn’t then the one who asks has to drink.” You cock your head to the side, your confidence returning to you.

Being back at the bar gave you the familiar feeling of being in command. After all, you’ve been here many times before. It was your playground to mess with the other eligible bachalors who happen to catch your eye. You were determined to figure this mystery figure out.

“You’re a fun one, darling. I like that.” He chuckles and adjusts his body to face yours. Mirroring your position and exuding that same confidence. “You have me intrigued.”

“Is that a yes?”

He leans closer to you and with a cocky smirk he replies, “Yes.”

Damon comes over to your side of the bar and delivers both of your drinks of choice. He gives you a knowing look and glances toward Loki. You wink back and he nods, leaving you two alone to go prepare some drinks for the two of you.

You raise your glass and he raises his. “Let the game begin.”

Untitled (for now) Kaede/Sota WIP from the “Front Piece” universe.

This fic it’s gonna be posted when the Inuyasha rarepair week kicks off. Originally, I was gonna develope it inside Front Piece, but I felt it would convolute the main story (inukag + the subplot of kikyura finally being out in the open) so it’s gonna be a separate piece.

Here's the introduction:

With all the excitement about learning the truth about her sister—her fake relationship with Inuyasha and her actual relationship with Yura—Kaede didn't have time to process all the information Kikyo had given her about Sota.

His last name was Higurashi; he regularly practiced soccer and lived at a shrine with his mother and grandfather. He had been born out of the country and moved back with his family when he lost his father when he was ten.

And even with all the details her big sister—and Inuyasha—had provided, Kaede needed to know more about the cute boy. She bit her lower lip, considering her next step, and tentatively opened Facebook on her phone and typed his name.

Kikyo would definitely scold her if she found out what her little sister was doing.

His profile was semi-private and didn’t allow Kaede access to his pictures. Huffing in annoyance, the teenager clicked on “Friends” on a whim.

“Holy shit,” she whispered to herself as she noticed their one mutual friend.

Shippo Sagara.

They weren’t exactly friends, per se, but they knew each other because the fox demon was dating Kaede’s best friend Rin, so they became Facebook friends. Quickly exiting the social media, she pulled up her message app and shot a text to her BFF.

[5:32 PM to Rin] Tell your bf to pick you up after school tomorrow. Gotta ask him some questions.

[5:34 PM from Rin] ???

[5:34 PM to Rin] Shippo knows the cutie I told you about. I'll explain better tomorrow. TTYL.

[5:34 PM from Rin] 🙀 🙀 🙀 srsly?!! OMG!!!! txting him right NOW!! cya tomorrow! XOXO

Kaede couldn’t hide her excitement, and hopefully, Shippo would be helpful and help her approach Sota.

She really, really wanted to date that boy.

Front Piece on Ao3

(Inuyasha/Kagome, Kikyo/Yura).

If you'd like to be tagged for future teases and when this fic is finally posted, shoot me a message.

Shannen Doherty Is 'Open' to Finding Love Again: 'I'm Pretty Sure I'll Meet Somebody — Hopefully Soon' (Exclusive) "I don’t think I’m going to be single forever," the 'Beverly Hills, 90210' actress tells PEOPLE in its latest cover story By Danielle Bacher Published on November 29, 2023 12:52PM EST

At any given chance, Shannen Doherty finds a sense of hope and possibility.

During her PEOPLE cover shoot a few days before Thanksgiving, the Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed alum, 52, says she recently realized that she's ready to find love again.

"I was not ready at all before three weeks ago," she admits candidly. "And something happens. There's always a trigger, just a moment that you have, somebody says something to you, your ex says one thing to you and you're like, 'Okay, yeah, I'm good. I'm good.' I have closure and I can move on in a really healthy way."

Asked what that future relationship looks like, Doherty admits she doesn't know.

“I have a best friend, a male best friend who we joke that we're married," she added. "I don’t know if it’s that or if it’s stumbling upon somebody and just feeling an instant connection. I'm open, and I wasn't [before].”

She continues, “I don’t think I’m going to be single forever. I have to love myself and reckon with the past, really, before I can move forward, and now I’m pretty sure I’ll meet somebody — hopefully soon.”

After 11 years of marriage, Doherty split from her third husband Kurt Iswarienko in April. (The couple separated in January and cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason in their divorce filing.)

Although she says she spent a lot of "good years" with him, Doherty — who was previously married to Rick Salomon from 2002 to 2003 and Ashley Hamilton from 1993 to 1994 — is ready to move on from her past.

"Listen, Elizabeth Taylor still has me beat as far as husbands and divorces, so I'm good. I'm not there yet, so there's no reason to be negative about it. S--- happens," she says of her breakup.

The actress has spent the last few years undergoing treatment for Stage 4 breast cancer. She will be discussing her relationships — as well as her career and her cancer journey — in her upcoming live memoir-style podcast, Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty, premiering Dec. 6.

From the moment she was diagnosed in 2015, she admits it was terrifying for her. "It was definitely one of those moments where you wonder if you're going to make it at all, but it's also where you learn the most about yourself because you have to really dig deep and gather the strength to face it head on and keep marching forward," she says.

For her, that strength comes from her family and loved ones, and the star says she's also open to the idea of motherhood.

“I would love nothing more than to be a mom," she says. "I always wanted it, and I think if I did it with my best friend or a partner, then I don't know any amount of time..." She pauses a moment, then continues. "I look at kids who don’t have parents at all — any amount of time [with a parent] is better than nothing. I vacillate. I’m biding my time, but in the meantime, I’ve got my brother’s seven kids and my best friend’s kids, who I kind of view as my children.” Although Doherty acknowledges she's suffered some periods of feeling depressed, she remains hopeful for life and love. "Things have not been exactly easy and smooth. They've been really challenging at times, and it's hard to find yourself suddenly single in your 50s, and with Stage 4 cancer. That's a hard one," she admits. "And that was super depressing for a while now, but eventually you turn a corner."

Now Doherty is welcoming what may come with open arms. "I didn't want to jump into anything and not have it all sorted in my head because then I'm no good to another person at that point," she says. "Now I'm ready."

For more on Shannen Doherty's cancer journey and how she's finding moments of joy amid her diagnosis, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

What if u answered 2, 5, 17, and 10 for the AU commander love interest asks 😳

@mystery-salad

i will finally lose it answering these so thank you in advance for my downfall 🫡 it's been an honor

warning for spoilers ‼️

10. Are there any events in the story that happen differently because of/to/involving them?

/ i'll hastily answer this first to give some background for this AU- future faehrnem comes back in time before the pact departs for their resistance against mordremoth. alt. faehrnem's world had almost been entirely ripped apart due to the void becoming overwhelmingly unstable, and against the will of MANY higher powers, alt. faehrnem is sent back with new tech that'll (hopefully) keep the dragons asleep indefinitely in a last ditch effort to stop current tyria from meeting the same fate 🤙 (he loses everything bc i'm evil.)

i might go more in depth about this AU but the biggest changes from the main story are that before future faehrnem puts himself on the chopping block for mordy to capture instead of trahearne, alt. faehrn tells current commander his name and of his prior life rather than learning after his death to balthazar, eir remaining alive and the Pact maintaining the majority of it's forces. trahearne leaves the pact in logan's hands after they take down mordy as well.

zhaitan being the first elder dragon to die didn't shake the balance much and thus stays defeated. mordremoth had to be taken out after already being fully awake, and THAT definitely stirs things up a bit. /

2. How does the rest of Dragon's Watch feel about the relationship?

Everyone in their immediate friend group is happy for them, though some much more than others. Kasmeer was the first and for a long time only person Faehrnem admitted his feelings for Traheane to, and was ecstatic when Faehrnem finally confessed after she was rooting for them all those years.

Caithe, knowing her brother better than anyone else- possible even as much if not more than Trahearne does himself, quickly caught on that he had developed feelings for their mutual friend. Caithe knew her brother would never admit anything if asked, and when Trahearne came to his sister after their much more successful attack on Mordremoth to tell her that he and Faehrnem had just gotten together, Caithe simply felt relief for her brother having finally someone who would love, cherish, and respect Trahearne for who he was, to no longer worry about being ostracized or glorified for everything he wasn't.

Taimi was elated upon hearing Faehrnem and Trahearne started a relationship together, not only incredibly happy for her father, but she also secretly humored the idea of another individual she admired and looked up to potentially becoming another parent to her as well.

5. How do they feel about their love interest being the commander? Are they concerned? Proud? Is it a "keep work stuff at work" kind of thing?

Well, both Trahearne and Faehrnem knew what they were signing up for when forming the Pact. They've been concerned for each other's well being from the start, but the mutual faith they have in their respective abilities help to calm their nerves.

Trahearne is proud of Faehnem for his selflessness, perseverance, his drive to keep fighting until everyone on Tyria will be safe. Faehrnem is.. proud, of course, for Trahearne stepping out of his comfort zone and becoming the leader Tyria needed him to be. Although, Faehrnem somewhat resents the Pale Tree for pushing Trahearne into a role he never really wanted.

For the most part, it's hard keeping work out of their every day life, especially for Faehrnem- being the Commander is such a huge part of his life that even after learning his real name, he still preferred being called Commander majority of the time. There are plenty of times still where they're able to relax in each other's company, and momentarily forget their responsibilities and the weight of what they've been through.

7. What kind of dumb rumors pop up/would pop up about the relationship?

Honestly, pretty shortly after the Pact really started gaining forces people were already speculating about Trahearne and Faehrnem's relationship, if they caught wind of anything it was either ignored or denied when asked up front. Faehrnem spent many nights with Trahearne, helping him through paperwork and letter when there wasn't much else to do, so each time Faehrnem spent the night helping... the more rumors were spread. Most were if they were dating and about how scandalous it'd be for Pact Marshal and his Second in Command being an item, although the only true rumor was about them being in love and not doing anything about it/not knowing the other felt the same.

After Trahearne left the Pact and joined everyone else in Dragon's Watch, he and Faehrnem would get questions fairly often, either by current or old Pact soldiers or just anyone curious about their relationship since they weren't hush hush about it. Trahearne usually gets embarrassed since he's a bit more reserved about his personal life, but Faehrnem enjoys gushing about his dearheart and having anyone curious to know how much he loves Trahearne and cherishes his companionship.

ok, I have the most important question of all: How are you? Hope life is going well for you right now?

((rambly personal post incoming, you have been warned))

I am,,,,,,,,, learning, I suppose. You know how people tell you that life is less a steady curve of progress, and more a wiggly-woggly mess of ups and downs and tight little knots that no one—least of all you—can make sense of? I think I am in the process of unraveling one of those knots.

Those of you who've been around for a while (or have been very dedicated in combing back through both this blog and my ao3 author notes) may recall that I've had a somewhat contentious relationship with my health for several years now; the short of it is that burnout is no joke, and I've come to accept that due to various life circumstances and the extreme stress caused by them c.2014–2018, the ramifications my body suffered in the years following will... likely never go away completely. My physical health is not what it was, and possibly never will be again, but with the divine combination of medication & love, I'm learning to live with it, so aside from one small scare that saw me rushed off to A&E for an utterly //thrilling// overnight adventure back in july, I am greatly improved from where I was a few years ago.

On a more positive note, I started therapy! Though it's not something I advertise irl due to being quite a private person (and having someone in particular in my life who,,, shall we say struggles with respecting boundaries?) I want to be open about the experience on here, because mental health is absolutely something that should be destigmatised, and I think that my younger self might have reached out sooner had she had more people tell her that it was okay to do so? I started CBT in early 2022, which really didn't work for me because it felt very... focused in the moment? Like "go on a walk! set yourself tasks! simply Do Better :)" and the therapist I was working with did not, to put it delicately, make me feel particularly listened to—by which I mean he would repeatedly cut me off to ask questions......that I tended to be already halfway through answering.

I've now moved on to Psychodynamic therapy, for which I've only had a couple of sessions thus far, but have found infinitely more helpful and suited to the issues I personally need to address; I'm sure you've seen people saying things of this vein before, but I cannot emphasise enough the importance of finding a therapist that works for (and more importantly with) you! So if anyone reading this has perhaps toyed with the idea of therapy, but lost heart (darling, I've been there) then please allow me to encourage you to seek help if you are able. I won't lie to you, it's emotionally taxing—exhausting, even—and already I've cried about things I didn't even know I was still struggling with, but it's also been i n c r e d i b l y cathartic to have a professional with no emotional stake in my life (ie. I don't fear judgement or personal ramification) walk me through the process of untangling it all.

What else... oh, I'm taking up lifedrawing again! It's something I greatly enjoyed during university, and I've managed to find a class nearby that starts up next week, so I'm very much looking forward to that. There are also several additional (and entirely free!) short courses offered by my local college that I'm looking into, in the hopes that I might find some passion and direction for myself beyond where I am rn. As a final note, I've got an exciting personal project in the works that—all being well—I'll hopefully be able to reveal to you all in the coming spring, so stay tuned for that!

So yes, I'm learning, things are looking up, and I'm working my way toward building a modest future for myself, even if it's not at all what I might have expected it to be a decade ago. Life is funny like that.

#You're such a doll for asking ily ♡#to anyone reading this for whom some of this rings true: don't lose hope my love #sa screams back #the author speaks #i went to a bonfire night display yesterday too and had some sort of human epiphany that I cannot rightly put into words but it made me Feel

omg okay 😭😭 you actually may need to kick my ass because let’s say i made out with a guy a few months ago and i thought that was it but after this he started talking about a relationship and i literally cannot say no to anyone and i’m always afraid that i’ll hurt someone so i said that sure in the future but i’m not really in a good place for that right now. and he accepted it but started texting me, wanting to go out as friends and stuff and i low key ghosted him and i feel bad because he obvs has feelings for me and i just straight up thumbed the last thing he texted me and haven’t heard from him since nor did i ever text him again. our families have been friends for years though so i’m sure i’m gonna see him sometime this year and i just don’t know what to do. that’s it, that’s my rant. 👼

(okay I'm gonna answer this publicly but if you're not comfortable with it, just let me know and I'll take it down!!!)

First off: absolutely will NOT be kicking your ass. This is a very human thing to do!

Second: I have both been a ghoster and been ghosted, and what I've personally learned from that is that...it sucks 😭 Closure can be incredibly helpful for some people, and even yourself!

But I do understand that sometimes we don't have the emotional capacity or bandwidth to give someone the answer's they need or deserve.

It SOUNDS like you didn't...really ghost him? You both just stopped reaching out, and I honestly cannot tell you if that was a good idea or not. Everybody perceives and handles things differently, and what's best for me might not have been best for you, you know??

You did make it clear to him that you weren't looking to get super deep into a friendship, and that was a boundary you made clear! He chose to pursue a friendship anyway, and (hopefully) should have known better than to expect something from you that you couldn't give!

If you do see him, I think it should be okay!! You can always be friendly, ask how he is, exchange small talk, and then you can move on!!

And if you need an escape, I can make a fake emergency that desperately needs your attention, forcing you to step away 🤪

I'M NOT SURE IF ANY OF THAT WAS HELPFUL OR WHAT YOU NEEDED BUT:

I'm really proud of you for doing what's best for you while still acknowledging his feelings!!

And if one day, you want to try things again, you always have the option of reaching out!

Random thought I had after seeing people submit abt them talking abt cuddle piles (and also you are free to adopt me but I pray Rex Lapis doesn't mind me taking home more twinks than he can tolerate pls I simp for them more than dilfs haudhsisbs):

It all just starts with literally either Kazu or Heizou, and the reason def varies. I know too well for Heizou it's to "gauge my reaction" when he decides giving me a heart attack (/exag) is a good idea, but I digress. I'm not sure about Kazuha, but if he ends up doing it to tease me I'll just melt.

Ngl I do think it'll just end with me holding Albedo's waist and lying down on his lap (ofc with his consent beforehand as 2 anemo men cling onto me like pls can I lie down somewhere without these two dragging me off to the hard ground I beg), and Heizou just snuggling on my back. God knows what he does there but he tells me he's very content snuggling me, even coming down to tracing words to converse if he's feeling less talkative... Which is rare.

As for Kazuha, it's either I'm spooning him or he's also settled onto leaning against Albedo's shoulder while speaking to all of us as a group. Sometimes, he'd even move over so that I'd actually be cradled in his arms, much to Heizou's chagrin and Albedo's amusement, I guess.

... I don't wanna think about the other men and what they'll do once they find out I am content being held by an alchemist and/or a ronin though, especially Xiao. I really love him but sometimes he scares me with how he acts like a possessive cat over everyone else. God forbid I get Wanderer on my team (which I named Kunimitsu) and they'd start throwing hands ;v;

But for now, I think I'm content just having 2 anemo inazuman boys and 1 synthetic human as my cuddle buddies. I'd rather not confess to either of the trio of how I want to kiss them both gently on the lips before sleeping haha absolutely not that's embarassing— ahem. That aside, I also do want to spoon Albedo once we both got comfortable to vibe in silence.

... maybe in the future. Hopefully.

— 🌸🍒

*glances at psy and lycoris and esther with a whole ass harem* aight listen here. under this roof we support polyamory and that includes twinks so i say - go wild my child.

heizou and kazuha lives for your reactions i'm pretty sure hslfdkjsld albedo is definitely the 'tamest' in this relationship but you better watch out because he will observe and he will naturally learn from the more chaotic anemo boys if you just let it be... he's a researcher through and through yk? *winkwink*

ohhhhh just a cozy lil cuddle pile... yes yes definitely a good choice given how cold it is in dragonspine. that's all there to it, yes? yes of course. *channels inner heizou* CONFESS darn it-

i can definitely xiao being a lil more territorial like the kitty that he secretly is hehe oh boy he would clash so badly with wanderer... when that time comes... uhhh.... good luck? 👀

Hi!! I've fallen in love with your GoT oc Joanna and I was wondering if I could please be added to the tag list?

I was also wondering if you could say how Joanna's going to get along with Elia Sand! What's their relationship going to be like? Oh and is she going to have any time with the Tyrells? Or Sansa? What's her relationship going to be like with Oberyn? I'm so excited for all the edits and gifs you make!!

hi there !! and yes ofc i can add u, thank u sm for asking !!

so i haven’t met elia sand in the books yet ( i have just started reading the series too so it may take me a while to get to that point ), but from what i read on the wiki, josana and elia would definitely bond over their love of horses. josana grew up loving horses because of her mother, laissa. she takes the time to read and learn the different breeds, diseases, best ways of riding, etc. it’s one of the many things that sets her apart from her uncle and it’s a part of her childhood that remains untouched and tainted after years of tywin crafting her into being his pawn. elia is definitely no lady by any means, so there would obviously be a difference in that aspect, but i think their dynamic would be interesting to reach at some point !! elia seems super fucking cool and i absolutely love this quote from her “i am almost a woman grown, ser. i'll let you spank me, though ... but first you'll need to tilt with me, and knock me off my horse.” like how iconic !!

funny how u mention the tyrells because i am in the process of really deep diving with brainstorming to formulate their dynamics. i will be including willas and maybe garlan, but probably only by mention. not sure yet. most definitely willas bc he’s the heir to highgarden and josana was former queen of the north and bore a male heir. now that sansa is wed to tyrion, josana is the next option for the tyrells to undermine the lannisters. it doesn’t go as far at all like it’s quickly snuffed out by tywin and gives josana a truly awful match, but it’s all part of my plans ehehehehehe. anyways, for the rest of the tyrells, the dynamics are still tentative as i need to understand who these characters are from show vs books. once i have those similarities and differences figured out perfectly, then i can easily plot it !!

so,,,, sansa,,,, this one is complicated bc i made a huge change to josana’s story ( for the better to reinforce my themes, but it’s an even angstier change ). starting off in the beginning when they’re both in winterfell, sansa wants to impress josana as she does with princess myrcella, joffrey, cersei, etc. josana is to marry her brother and they would become family, so they are spending time getting to know each other and bonding! josana always liked sansa and vice versa !! very very good terms. and then the war happened. sansa being alone in king’s landing surrounded by lannisters is not pleasant by any means. and her opinion on josana changes drastically over time bc of all the scandalous rumors, but most importantly,,,, the red wedding. a cliff note’s version: josana is outed by lord walder frey for her treason against the starks, which he knew bc of tywin. he makes a toast to her after everyone’s been slaughtered except robb and catelyn and says “this is the fruit of her labor” and from then on, she is known as a traitorous bitch, the queen who lost the north, the widow queen, etc. though sansa is never present at the red wedding, word travels fast and rumors spread like wildfire. i do have positive plans in the future for josana and sansa, but i really need to plan out the best and most realistic approach to tackle my changes since i didn’t initially plan on josana’s betrayal to ever be revealed, especially in that horrible situation. it’s tricky, but hopefully i can come up with the best option to have a brighter future for their dynamic bc i love sansa so much. her and josana go through similar ( yet still wildly different ) paths and female friendships mean sm to me !!

i LOVE josana and oberyn SO MUCH !!!!!!!!! my partners in crime and sexy fwb !! i have a whole ask dedicated to them here, but i’ll happily talk about them more if u have any other questions specifically !!

i apologize for how long this is, i got carried away. but thank u so so so much for asking all of these questions !! i am super tired so i apologize for any rambling or spelling/grammar errors, but i hope these provided some insight on josana’s story !! if u would like to know anything else, feel free to shoot another ask, and i’ll happily answer anything <3

31st December, 2022 | To Lizzy (Age 26)

Hey there! It's me again.

If I told you that the world would be thrown into a global pandemic, I bet you wouldn't have believed me. Yet, that's exactly what happened - in 2020, we were thrust into the COVID-19 pandemic and went through multiple iterations of lockdowns, quarantines, and brief recovery periods on and off for the next couple of years. The worst is somewhat over now and life is returning "back to normal" as we enter into 2023. It is at this point that I'm returning to our little tradition here.

The pandemic years were crazy. I learnt a lot about myself, my friendships, and my family - the good, the bad, and certainly the ugly. I quickly lost the support system I mentioned previously - DL completely cut me off once the pandemic hit. It hurt at the time, but looking back I think we were the support system we each needed to get through the specific hardships of uni. After graduating, there was no longer a need for it and so the friendship had run its course. We're cordial during group hangouts now and that's honestly better than it could've been. I've made peace with it.

While stuck at home, I ended up becoming more involved in church as we ran online services and activities. It felt good to use my audio mixing skills from university to serve the church right from home! I was also able to build a closer community with many, many wonderful people. The term "fellowship" truly became meaningful as I felt closer to God while in this community. This has continued now that we're back to physical services as well! I do wish to be more disciplined in my faith, though. More on that from a future me hopefully!

Let's see... What else is new? Last year I received a call from my lecturer with an offer for a job back at my university! It's not related to what I studied, but instead focuses on project management, social media and publicity work. It has been quite the learning curve (and extremely stressful now that face-to-face events are back in full swing), but so far I guess I've been managing. I don't know how long I'll be at this job, but I can definitely say I've learned a lot and am happy to take these new skills with me wherever I go.

Now, I regret to inform that there is no relationship news to share this time around. I know, I know, this seemed to be part of the tradition, but alas, 'tis not meant to be. I've had some interests in some guys now and again (you know us, we're simps 😂), but it never took off into something more. As I'm getting older and considering relationships seriously, I've decided to just let go and let God. Unless God hits me on the head with a "Lizzy, here he is, please go collect your man", I think I'll just sit tight and work on myself.

Up next, here's an update that would be REALLY surprising to past me's: I go to the gym now! No, I have not been replaced by a foreign life-form, this is real! I've been going 3 times a week, together with AK and M whom we recently reconnected with. Building a habit of exercise has done wonders for my mental and physical health. I'm proud of the progress and look forward to getting stronger in the upcoming year!

So, yeah! I'm sliding into adulthood (albeit haphazardly heheh) and trying my best to roll with the changes that come with it. Truthfully, becoming an adult is pretty scary to me, but I believe God has a plan and I would like to see that plan to fruition.

Until then, take care future me! I believe in you.

Chapter 04: Rivals - Part 6

◀️ Previous | Next ▶️ | "Plague Rat" Masterpost

I love the parallel of the two groups gossiping over dinner. ^_^ I'm quite proud of those panels.

Wall o' text on dating history and my musings on it for you below the cut, as explained to me by my grandmas and other eldery folks who lived it, along with info from a pile of books I read when I was a teen.

The dating model in the comic is what it used to be like in American society until fairly recently. (Gen X ish) It wasn't polyamory, because "Dating" someone wasn't considered a committed relationship at all, and you may or may not know how many partners your date has. Dating was just doing things with someone who caught your interest to see if you clicked. A Vibe Check, really.

(I'm not poly, but according to my friends who are, the ye olde model wasn't poly because of that reason.)

This is where we get the term "Going Steady" and "Main Squeeze" from. Dating was non-committal, and from a societal standpoint didn't mean much of anything. After a few dates you would keep or discard people from your main dating pool, and slowly whittle down your results. A Main Squeeze was simply your first pick, or your preferred dating partner. Going Steady with someone implied exclusivity, and was usually just a precursor step to getting engaged.

This is why, when reading/watching old media, people are so surprised when someone is single. It was very uncommon for people of a certain age to be single, and why society tends to default to assuming someone is gay, because that wasn't something you talked about back then. Also, if you pay attention, they ask, "Does s/he have any boy/girlfriends?" They ask in the plural.

According to my grandma, it was considered rude to say how many, even if you knew. The polite answer was, "They've got a few," if they had more than one, and to outright tell the interested party if the person was going steady with someone else.

A prime example from literature that many people are familiar with is Lucy from Dracula. She had three boyfriends, but that wasn't seen as strange or wrong in any way. She was from a good family, pretty, sweet, rich - Of course she would have three boyfriends! And we know she went on dates with all of them, and they all knew about each other. We know John didn't have any other girlfriends, and while it's unlikely that Arthur or Quincey had others, it's not out of the realm of possibility.

So why am I going on about this? Because the people I've spoken with who lived it (and still do, in places) talk about what I think is the very best part of it - You learned to deal with rejection and set boundaries at a young age. Being rejected or dumped sucked, obviously, but it wasn't seen as a huge deal from a social standpoint because it happened to everyone, usually many times over. No one made fun of you for it, and once the sting passed, you tried again with someone else. You also learned to say No if you weren't interested, and hopefully how to dump someone nicely. Of course, being pushy was (and still is) considered creepy and bad form.

Compare this to today, and, well... This is why women give men wrong phone numbers and fake names. You used to not have to do that. The vast majority of the time a simple "No, thank you," was enough, and it never crossed your mind that you might get murdered for it. On the other hand, giving someone your contact info (solicited or not) was simply stating interest. Nothing was guaranteed, and that was understood.

I think that's a healthy way to go about it, and my little vision of the future would be better with those attitudes. Obviously the Ye Olde model is based around monogamy, with marriage and kids the final goal. Cal uses that for himself because he's monogamous, but a polycule could form with this model just as easily!

I'll leave you with how my grandma explained it to me, which is a great metaphor:

If you want to enter a rose into the county fair, you don't trim all but ONE bud off the bush and spend months trying to make it perfect! You prune as you go, because some of them might have a bug in there, or be weak, or just not bloom at all. Most of them will be okay, but some will be really nice. Those are the ones you pay attention to, and take special care of. Eventually, one of them will stand out as the best.
