"Sign here and you can officially move in within a couple days",the realtor said giving us each the paper to sign and make it official.
"So this makes us homeowners",Khia whispered in my ear.
"Somethin like that",I said smiling at her. Today was gone be a long day and half of it was already gone. I had Khia to myself all day today and I was grateful. She looked so beautiful in her sundress and had her hair down.
After signing our lease, we hit the road to go pick up my family from the airport. I was excited to see them and I knew Khia was too.
"We've been together for like almost a year. That's a long time",she said letting her hair flow in the wind while the sunroof was down.
"Yeah next month is gonna make it our 1 year of dating."
"What are we gonna do for it? I'm not doing another party at the club."
"Girl you crazy. Why would our anniversary include us turning up at the club. I'll plan something intimate for us."
"Like what?"
"Ion know yet. But I know it's gone include a lot of sex cause I've been holding out for a minute."
"That's your fault. You said it yourself, you've been holding out."
"Cause of you. You be buggin out",I joked.
"No I haven't. You can get it now if you want to."
"We already bout to be late, I'll try to get some later if you still in the mood."
"I'm always in the mood",she said giving me seductive eyes.
"Keep talkin like that & ima have to make a stop",I said with a smirk.
"I love you",she said laughing.
"I love you too. 1 year is your longest relationship?"
"Something like that. You know my last relationship doesn't really count."
"Yeah. I wouldn't even call that a relationship to be honest babe."

"Stop",she whined.
I laughed at my comment and thanked God in my head that I took Khia from up under that good for nothin man. Nigga was all types of bad for her. As we almost got to the airport, Khia applies another layer of make up on her face and I was so confused. She looked fine as it is but she ain't gonna listen to me so I just continued on down the road.
"You know there's a dinner at my house after we pick them up."
"No I didn't know."
"I want you to come."
"I'll pass",she said checking her perfectly straight teeth.
"It'll be awkward if your not there since my cousins love you being around",I said trying to persuade.
"I don't want your parents giving me no side eyes."
"They actually want you to come."
"I'll think about it."
"Ight. I need a answer by the time we get back in this car babe",I told her while parking in the lot. We got out the car and went inside the airport. It was gonna take a minute to find them because it's their first time in the airport so they not gonna know nothing around them.
"What time do they land babe?",Khia asked me.
"In 30 minutes",I said looking at my phone. I spotted the American Airlines section and we sat there and waited.
Looking at Khia next to me, I couldn't help but remember all of our moments we went through together. The first time meeting my parents and family was rocky but she stayed strong and pushed through it now she here and is the first to see them enter the United States. I wouldn't want to share that with anyone else.
"I'm proud of you",she said while catching me stare at her.
"Proud of me for what?"
"Helping your family come to the states. That's a huge accomplishment."

"Yeah couldn't have done it without you though. You know that right?"
"Me? What I do?"
"You supported me in all of this. Many girls wouldn't have or cared enough for stuff like this."
"Why wouldn't I care about the people you care about?"
"I don't know",I shrugged. She kissed me on the lips to remind me that I'm the luckiest man in the world.
"Tiago! Is that you",I turned my head and I saw my cousin Romeo with the fam walking towards us. I pulled my cousins into a hug while the girl ran up to hug Khia. There was screaming, crying, yelling, you would've thought they would've put us out.
"My man rico. How are you?",I said hugging him.
"I'm here. I've always dreamed of coming to the Americas."
"Yeah you look slimmer than when I last saw you. That's gonna change real soon. How's abuela? Heard she didn't want to come",I asked him.
"Yeah she didn't want to leave your tia behind."
"Yeah I feel her. She's gonna come soon I'm still working on the other half of the family's file."
"Primo, thank you so much",Romeo said pulling me into a big hug again which was shocking to me because he wasn't the touchy type or type to be appreciative to anyone.
We spent an additional hour at the airport catching up. Jennifer and Ana ain't even paid me any attention, it went all to Khia but I ain't mind. It felt good to know that they loved her that much.
During the ride home, Khia sat in the back with my cousins and gave Romeo the front.
"How's life?", Rome asked me.
"It's crazy but good I can't complain."
"No I meant how's the married life?",he said hinting about Khia.
"Nah we not getting married anytime soon yet",I said laughing as we hit traffic on the freeway.
"Why not? Y'all still together. What you waiting on?"
I looked at him and said, "this is coming from you?"
He laughed.
"Yeah but nah what's the hold up?"
"There's no hold up. We just not ready to do that yet Rome."
"She cheat on you?"
"Hell nah I'd leave her in a heartbeat."
"Good cause I got dibs on her."
"Oh word? Now I know not to leave her around you."
We both laughed but little did he know, I was dead serious.
Once we finally got home, my parents welcomed them in their home and they stayed talking in the living room for a couple hours catching up. I scanned the room with my eyes for Khia and I didn't see her for a minute so I went upstairs to my room and found her and my cousins talking. Looked like girl talk by the way they was quiet when I opened the door.
"Hey. Can I talk to her for a minute? It'll be a second",I asked my cousins.
"She's your girlfriend. Why are you asking us permission?",they said laughing.
"Because y'all had her to yourselves all day."
They left the room in laughter and gave us the room. I closed the door and sat next to her on my bed.
"You okay?",I asked her.
"Yeah. I'm good."
"You don't need saving from my cousins? I know they can talk you to death sometimes."
She laughed and said, "honestly, I don't mind it. I feel like their my sisters and I've never had a sister cause I'm an only child so it feels good to talk to them."
"That's wasup. So does that mean your staying for dinner?"
"Yeah I'll stay."
"Ight I'll let my mom know the good news. Love you",I kissed her on the lips and told my cousins they got her to themselves up until dinner time. I got this tingling feeling inside that everything was falling into place and nothing could go wrong. Is it possible to be high on happiness? Cause that's just what I'm feeling.

Reborn From the Cosmos
Lourianne Tome is a mildly talented, underachieving, slightly lecherous summoner who wants nothing more than to live a simple life away from her father's expectations. Those dreams are waylaid when a madman knocks her carriage off the road and sacrifices her to power a summoning. After a fateful encounter with a powerful elemental, Lou becomes something other than human and embarks on a journey to live happily and bring a little amusement to a god tired of the world's status quo. This is a mainly slice of life story with a bit of action/adventure. A few tags that need to be added here: 18+, yuri (wlw, lgbt), NSFW (and it doens't really have dedicated chapters, it is very much a part of the story), shapeshifter (and everything that comes with that). Fair warning.

Transposition
Please note: the Sexual Content tag is there due to a single brief plot-relevant scene, which has a warning at the beginning. For other details, read the full description below. Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 5 x 5*, 2 x 4.5*, 1 x 0.5* During a blackout, a frail and ragged old woman stops to ask for a glass of water from a backyard barbecue party. Given a good supper instead, she looks around the group, and tells them, "Be who and what you truly are." Days later, seven of the people from the barbecue find themselves drawn into a trap laid by a pair of wizards and their accomplices, who kidnap them into a bubble reality. All seven, who have known each other all their lives, are informed that they are not in fact entirely human: they have active fae blood, due to a series of conditions culminating with the blessing of the elderly fae woman. The transformation into fae form comes as a shock: all seven, whether originally female or male, find themselves now unreasonably beautiful women. More urgent even than that, though, is their captivity. Getting back to the real world is a higher priority than this metamorphosis that rapidly begins to feel natural... but this is only the first step, as the diverse types of fae blood they carry begin to surface. With no resources except themselves, how can they escape this prison? If they succeed, how can they possibly reclaim their lives? Just how many other faelings have been kidnapped, anyway, and what happened to them? And is there a way to make sure that their captors never put anyone else through this? Back in the real world, Kayla, who learned long ago to trust her gut instincts, is absolutely certain that something is very wrong. The pattern in the list of missing friends is easy to spot, but makes no sense at all. Then a young woman turns up at the backyard gate who knows more than she should, and even though her explanation makes even less sense, every instinct tells Kayla that Riley is her only way to get them back. If they're not quite what they were, well, that's a bridge to cross later... Just a little note: I'm a big believer in endings that are upbeat but not candy-coated, and not a fan of grim-and-gritty or of glamorized violence. These are adults in a difficult situation. However, no one gets raped, and the physical violence is, all things considered, fairly minimal. There is some harassment, sexual and otherwise, and also some mild restraint and mild verbal abuse. Complicating factors are generally wizardly or fae in nature. If I need to warn you about gender in this being all over the map, some of it reality-based rather than fantasy-based, highly diverse sexuality, or that there is (especially later) some indirect fetish/BDSM imagery and honest character discussion, then you probably should just avoid everything I write. :-) Also available on Scribble Hub.

MCU Oneshots and Novellas
My back catalogue of shorter MCU fanfiction. Most are focused on Loki, Thor and Odin, but the other Avengers also show up on occasion. 1. Shadows of the Past Yet Loom:Thor thought he had grown out of his childhood stutter long ago, but to his distress, the speech impediment resurfaces shortly after he's crowned as king of Asgard. Loki tries to cheer Thor up. [set between Ragnarok and Infinity War] 2. Another Sleepless Night Thor has brought Loki back to Asgard and Odin has pronounced his sentence – Loki is to spend the rest of his days in the dungeons. That was supposed to be the end of the matter, yet sleep continues to elude Odin. One night, he makes a covert trip down to Loki’s cell. 3. Truths, Lies and Bilgesnipes There are children you can leave unsupervised for an afternoon without courting danger. To Odin's consternation, the two young princes of Asgard are not that kind of children. With Frigga absent and Odin distracted with the minutia of government, Thor and Loki sneak out of the palace on a bilgesnipe hunt. Their short adventure leaves Loki badly injured. But the physical injury is not as potent a force as the secrets Odin is determined to protect or Loki’s desperate need to live up to his father’s expectations. 4. Dear Mr. Thanos The trouble with the universe is that it doesn't want to be balanced. In fact, it requires regular pruning. In the year 2327 the Infinity War is a distant memory and Ariadne Thornton has some questions for the dark spectre that has haunted the universe for the past three hundred years. [post Infinity War, not Endgame compliant] 5. Not A Place But A People For a time, dreams of peace and safety can sustain a people lost in the wilderness. But soon the reality of the situation sinks in – a ship not provisioned for the number of people on board, a culture on the verge of extinction and a shadow spreading further with every passing day. [post Thor: Ragnarok, not Infinity War compliant]

The Blood Queen
The rain fell from the sky with ferocity and smashed into the pavement filling the air with the sound of a stampede. The noise was deafening as I struggled to stand up. The blood from my wound was covering the ground beneath me and I covered it with my hand as I pushed off the pavement. On my feet now I struggled to step towards the grass. Through the howling wind and pounding raindrops I could hear what sounded like a chant, calling me and drawing me towards the cliffs edge. "Vienna, my Queen, my blood Queen" I started to move my feet faster until I could run towards the edge. Only when I was at the edge did I turn and look back one last time at the castle behind me. I could see him standing on the balcony, he was screaming my name. I could just hear it over the rain. I unclipped my red cape and whispered goodbye to him. As he jumped off the balcony to run towards me I leaned backwards and let my body fall with the rushing water to the river far down below. I carried her whispers with me to the dark edge until they vanished.
