I promise I will make a real life update soon. I had a bit of a depressive spell, but I seem to be pulling out of it, and that's good. And it's Mabon/Fall Equinox, so yay for that. I can feel my creativity returning, and it's a Friday night, and life is pretty ok

There are many reasons that Bobby knows he shouldn't be dating Mystique. For one thing, she's, like, old enough to be his great-grandmother. And she actually is the mother of two of his friends. (He's pretty sure Rogue is never going to speak to him again.) Plus there's the fact that she's, you know, a sociopath and a murderer and an on-again, off-again supervillain.

Before this year, the last huge, life-changing decision Hughes had faced had come when he was thirteen years old and staring at two different boarding school acceptance envelopes. One was for the Ostenberg-Miller Preparatory Academy, his father’s alma mater, the premier military prep school in all of Amestris. Enrollment would guarantee a spot in the Amestrian Military Academy and, from there, a cushy commission as far from the front lines as possible. The other was from the Shanecrest Institute, a respected academic boarding school with high placement rates for the best Amestrian colleges, particularly in engineering departments. Hughes had applied to the latter on the sly, bolstered by his primary school guidance counselor’s encouragement and his unexpectedly high scores on the placement tests. And now he had a choice: the life of the soldier, or the life of the scholar

YESSS!!!! This is perfect.

You know that I'm going to demand wedding-fic now, right?

[harmonyangel]

:D They will have the MOST ridiculous wedding, in some ways.

I mostly want to cuddle Hughes forever.
