No trigger warnings, just an annoying Ex and some help from a handsome general ๐

Ritaโs had always been a dazzling pleasure hall, a cherished haunt where fae from every corner of Valaris converged for a night of revelry. The air was thick with the intoxicating mix of bitter alcohol and the musky scent of bodies in motion. The vibrant, electric music pulsated through the space, drawing everyone into its rhythmic embrace. With so many bodies intertwining and grinding to the infectious beat, it was no wonder that this establishment basked in its popularity.
Y/n had come out with a spirited group of friends, their laughter and enthusiastic chatter dancing alongside the music. Dressed to the nines, she turned heads, catching fleeting glances filled with admiration and curiosity. The flashing lights and frenetic energy surged through her veins like a potent elixir as she savoured her third drink of the evening. The delightful buzz of alcohol wrapped around her, soothing the stress that had gnawed at her mind for weeks.
As she danced, lost in the moment, a sudden awareness crept over herโa potent sensation of being watched. Not a mere glance but a deliberate gaze that made her skin prickle. Seeking the source, she foundโan all-too-familiar figure. A high-fae male striding confidently across the room, his blonde hair shimmering like spun gold under the strobe lights. When her eyes locked with his, clarity sparked in her mind, igniting memories of the stubborn bastard who had once been her partner.
In an instant, the vibrant atmosphere of the night seemed to drain away, replaced by a hollow ache of disgust and annoyance. It was just like him to intrude on her moment of joy. As she scanned the crowd for her friends, a wave of panic washed over her upon finding only the glassy-eyed faces of strangers. The realisation that she had been left behind tightened like a noose around your chest.
A scowl danced across her face as the blonde male pushed through the throng, unmistakable displeasure etched in her every feature. Yet the male remained undeterred, closing the distance with an unnerving swagger. His voice, barely rising above the raucous music, dripped with condescension, stoking the flames of y/nโs anger. โCome to show off your new male? Oh, wait. You came alone, didnโt you? Are you that desperate for my attention, hm?โ The wicked amusement glinting in his eyes only served to amplify the fury bubbling within her.
But just before her resentment could erupt, a deep, slightly rough voice sliced through the noise beside the two. โAnd who are you talking to, sweetheart?โ The words trembled through her body, sending an exhilarating shiver down her spine. A strong arm encircling waist, pulling her gently against the tall figure standing protectively by her side. Hazel eyes, filled with a fierce scowl, fixed on the blonde male.
The blonde maleโs gaze flickered between y/n and the towering newcomer, taking note of the protective embrace. Yet, he seemed unfazed by the imposing presence, his voice dripping with bravado as he shouted over the music, โAnd who are you to call them that?โ The hand resting on y/nโs waist began to draw gentle circles on her skin, an instinctive act of reassurance that calmed the chaos swirling within her.
The taller male let the silence stretch, creating an almost palpable tension, and y/nโs gaze was drawn upward to his striking features. Surprise blossomed within her at the sight of his hazel eyes, so rich and warm that they felt almost inviting. He stood tall and confident, his shoulder-length dark hair tousled as if he had just run a hand through it in exasperation. But what captivated y/n even more were his magnificent wingsโvast and membranous, unmistakably Illyrian. Yet instead of fear, there was an unexpected comfort in his presence, a feeling that he was attuned to her distress.
The male seemed to sense her reassurance, a charming smirk spreading across his lips, inadvertently igniting a blush on y/nโs cheeks. His gaze shifted back to her Ex, his expression growing cold and unyielding. โYou know this rat, sweetheart?โ His gentle yet formidable tone drew y/nโs attention back to the blonde male, whose disgruntled expression sparked a flicker of amusement in her.
โNo,โ she declared firmly, satisfaction threading through her voice as it cut through the music. The arm around her waist shifted, and the male turned, guiding her away from the tension that could have marred her night. โGood,โ he replied, a hint of approval lacing his tone.
As y/n blinked up at him, relief washing over her, she felt like she was traversing away from the shadows of the past and stepping into the light of a much brighter evening.
~~~~~~ The end... or is it? ~~~~~~
Only my second fic, but hoping to make many more ๐
let me know if there's anything I could improve on pls, positive criticism is always appreciated โค
Chappell Roan: Some of my so-called โfansโ have been acting really creepily towards me, crossing some major boundaries to the point of sexually harassing me and invading my personal life when Iโve explicitly told them not too. Please donโt interact with me outside of my work hours, as Iโd like to maintain my privacy.
The internet: oh my god chappell roan literally JUST said that she hates all of her fans and that they should all DIE can you fucking believe that??
Chappell Roan: I am going to vote in the presidential election and I think everyone should vote against Donald Trump, but Iโm not going to endorse Kamala Harris as my personal candidate because her policies on Israel are not going to lead to effective change for Palestinians, nor hold Israel accountable for their war crimes, and I want a candidate who reflects my policies before I endorse theirs.
Everyone: did you hear chappell roan just said sheโs not voting?? like she literally just said that sheโs going to abstain from voting and sheโs encouraging all of her fans to do the same. she must be a republican in disguise and is actually going to vote for Trump. did you know her uncle is a republican.
Chappell Roan: I think you all should stop getting your political opinions from fucking pop stars and stop expecting me to tell you how to think.
Everyone: WOOOOWW chappell roan is now saying that sheโs not political. like she literally JUST said sheโs not going to get involved with politics. what a privileged and selfish bitch.
Everyone: anyway now letโs talk about how doechii is literally holding gotye hostage in her basement to steal his music and she wonโt let him go until every straight man has been executed.
Everyone: I support women by the way.

Chris Bang x fem!reader
Warnings: mentions of period.
Genre: established relationship, fluff
Summary: You and Chris are going on a weekend getaway, and you were so excited. Until an expected twist has you completely thrown, and Chris is the most sweetest boyfriend ever.
a/n: Very short, but I needed comfort (also Channie's big hug) ๐ญ
The pout on your face says it all. It gives a very good picture about how you're feeling at the moment - absolutely miffed.ย
This is supposed to be the perfect weekend getaway. The two of you had planned so meticulously for it. A cozy cabin in the mountains, no phones, no friends - just you and Chris. And lots of sex in front of that beautiful fireplace you'd been obsessing over since the minute you saw it on the website.ย
But no. Your uterus decided to pull a fast one, surprising you with your period a week early. A WEEK. Classic.
Chris is currently inside a convenience store, buying you something to eat since you've been crabby all morning, especially so because you weren't prepared for this disaster.ย
When he comes out of the store after a few minutes, heโs got your food in one hand and - oh god, you scream in your head - is that a pack of pads heโs casually tossing in the other?ย
He slides into the driverโs seat, hands you the food, and chucks the pack of pads casually into the backseat.ย
โWhy are you pouting?โ he asks, his voice tinged with genuine confusion. โCramps?โ
ย โWhy am I pouting?! Chris, why are YOU not pouting?!โ
โUh, why would I?โ he replies, pulling back onto the highway.
His fingers drum against the steering wheel, and he sighs.
โBabe, you needed pads. I got pads. Problem solved. Whatโs the big deal?โ He glances at you before focusing back on the road.
You cross your arms and glare out the window, refusing to dignify that with a response.
โBaby.โ He says, his mouth twitching like heโs trying not to laugh. โWhy are you so stressed about this? We're taking this break so you can relax? And you've done nothing but stress over it.โ
โIโm not stressed!โ you snap, even though youโre very obviously stressed. โIโm sad, okay? My period came early, and now the weekendโs ruined. We had so much planned -โ You cut yourself off, cheeks flaming as your brain conjures images of everything youโd really been looking forward to.
Chris doesnโt miss it though. He grins, wide and wolfish as he says, โRuined? And when has your period ever stopped us from having fun?โ
โChris!โ Your jaw drops. "We have never!โ
โWhat?โ He smirks, eyes still on the road but so clearly enjoying your flustered state. โThere's a first time for everything. You think I care? Babe, weโre going away to relax, yeah? So relax. Weโll have fun, period or not.โ
You press your lips together, fully aware that you have nothing to say because, as much as you hate to admit it, heโs not wrong. This man has seen you at your most unfiltered, unhinged, and, yes, all the icky phases. He obviously doesnโt care about a little blood.ย
โBesides,โ he continues, voice dropping to that husky, teasing tone, โyouโre acting like I planned this trip just for the sex. Which, for the record, I didnโt. I also booked it because I want to watch you beat me at Monopoly and make fun of my attempts at cooking.โ
โYour cooking is pretty tragic,โ you mumble, unable to keep the smile off your face.
โThere she is.โ He grins, sliding his hand onto your thigh, his thumb rubbing gentle circles just above your knee. โSee? Youโre smiling already. And donโt worry - Iโve got chocolate and snacks all ready, in case you need it.โ
You turn to him with a lovesick face. โYou bought me chocolate too?โ
โOf course I did,โ he says, giving you a wink. โWhat kind of boyfriend do you think I am?โ
The cabin is straight out of a Pinterest board - wooden beams, floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the foggy woods, and a fireplace that is literally begging you to curl up in front of it. It shouldโve been perfect. But instead of basking in the cozy vibes, you flop face-first onto the fluffy couch, still feeling the faint weight of disappointment.
The kind who drives you absolutely insane, you think. But also, the kind who makes you feel like the luckiest girl alive.
Chris walks in, lugging your bags with one hand and a grocery bag in the other. He shuts the door with his foot and glances over at you, eyebrows quirking at your dramatic sprawl.
โBabe, you good?โ he asks, dropping the bags and peeling off his jacket. His voice is light, teasing, but thereโs a note of concern in his eyes as he crouches down next to you.
You groan into the pillow. โIโm fine.โ
โDoesnโt sound like it,โ he says, placing a hand on your back and rubbing soothing circles. โYouโre still hung up on this, huh?โ
You lift your head just enough to glare at him. โChris, you donโt get itโฆuh, nevermindโ You trail off, sighing dramatically.
Chris just grins.
โOh, I know. My poor baby.โ He leans in close, his lips brushing against your ear as he murmurs, โBut I'm here, yeah? Gonna take good care of you.โ
You roll onto your back, fixing him with a look.
โOkay.โ You say, rolling onto your back and giving him a tiny smile.
He laughs, and presses a quick kiss to your forehead.
โNo more pouting, and sighing. Just let me do my thing, okay? You know Iโm not here for just the easy stuff. Iโm here for all of it.โ
Your chest tightens at his words, and for a second, you forget how to breathe. God, why does he have to be soโฆ him?
โBut -โ
โNope.โ He cuts you off, pressing his finger to your lips. โNo buts. Youโre not gonna miss out on anything. Iโll make sure of it.โ
You narrow your eyes at him, suspicious. โWhat does that mean?โ
He smirks, leaning down to kiss you, soft and slow. And when he pulls back, his voice drops an octave, dripping with promise.
โMeans you should stop overthinking and let me take care of you.โ
And thatโs exactly what he does. He starts by bringing you your hot water bag, lighting the fireplace and pulling you into his lap, wrapping you in a blanket and feeding you bites of the chocolate. Then he cranks it up with a massage that has you melting into his hands, tension forgotten.

Yes, Nesta wore her mask. They used it to get thru the crowds safely and get the best throws from the parades. Nobody got hurt and hangovers were minimal.
