Hewooos!!! So, I’m back to irritate you all with my boring lengthy fanfics (Ignore me Irdk wth happens to my self esteem when I post a fanfic here :,)) So yes, I have written this nobell fanfic and I hope you enjoy it.
A/N (Pfft more like a disclaimer XD): Okay, so, even if I am bisexual, I have actually never written, known or experienced a wlw relationship and yet I tried to write this nobell fanfic. I tried really hard and I think it came out too lengthy. It wasn’t my intention, yet it did. Also, I wanted to say this that here, I had and have no intention of portraying Adrian as some egotistical or obnoxious guy, because he isn’t. And he will never be. I just wanted to have a reason to write this plot and so I chose this one.
TITLE: She had Danna
WORD COUNT: 2693
This is going all wrong. This was not what she expected. Nova’s head was spinning from her indecision.
It has been more than a year since the renegades resigned their role as the heroes of the city. So, Nova isn’t expected to be particularly good anymore, right? Of course, she didn’t want to go on and become a terrorist or anything, but she could do minute bad things, couldn’t she?
↪ [ I may have totally forgot about Osby October but October isn’t over yet! I wrote this in literally 2 hours so it may not be the best but I think its pretty cute. About 1000 words. Enjoy and please reblog! ]
Fuck.
The word had come up quite a few times in Ruby’s day now. First when she stubbed her toe in the morning then again when she realized her favourite cereal had run out. It had come up several times again as she realized she was running late to work, barely kissing Oscar goodbye as she ran to her car, a piece of toast still warm in her mouth. Now the word came up again as she spilled coffee on her pants.
This was not her lucky day.
Fortunately, the coffee had long since cooled and the spill was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. But after a day of one thing after another going wrong, it didn’t feel minor.
Ruby glanced at the intimidatingly large pile of papers on her desk then at the coffee on her pants. She sighed, picked up the dripping coffee cup from the edge of the desk and headed to the bathroom to clean herself off.
She pushed open the bathroom door and hurriedly walked over to the sink. She greedily pulled out paper towel after paper towel, scrubbing her pants vigorously as a headache began to form.
“The day I decide to wear white pants to work,” she grumbles to herself, scrubbing more and more frantically as the stain refuses to fade.
After a few minutes of scrubbing with no effect, Ruby realized that the coffee wasn’t going away any time soon.
Her headache grew as she stared at her hopeless reflection in the bathroom mirror. She ran her hands through her hair, the black bob that had replaced the long-since faded out white streaks from her teen years.
She couldn’t very well walk around the office with such a prominent stain on her pants. She knew she had an extra change of clothes but they were gym-wear and inappropriate for the workplace.
With no other choice, however, Ruby headed back to her desk and took the pants from her bag.
She rushed back to the bathroom, entering one of the stalls and quickly changing into the pants.
The pants were ridiculous for a professional atmosphere. They were a dark blue with streaks of teal along the side of the pant legs. Ruby was intending to wear them when she went to the gym after work but had not anticipated such an unlucky morning.
For a moment, Ruby considered just putting her soiled pants back on but when she glanced at the large stain again she decided otherwise.
She headed back to her desk, avoiding eye contact with any of her coworkers.
“Tucker, what are you doing?” the harsh voice froze her in her tracks.
This was definitely not her lucky day.
“Good morning, Mr. Miller,” she greeted her boss cautiously, her cheeks reddening at the thought of her appearance.
“Your desk is covered in coffee,” Mr. Miller spat at her, “And you look like you’re about to start a yoga class.”
“Sorry, Mr. Miller,” Ruby’s head throbbed, “I accidentally spilled some coffee and I had to change.”
“You have a pile of work on your desk the size of Mount Everest,” he glared at her, “and you’re playing dress up?”
“No, I-”
“Just get it cleaned up, Tucker,” he spoke over her, “and get back to work.”
With that, he retreated back to his office, slamming the door shut. Ruby cleaned up the spill, listening to her coworkers’ occasional snicker.
With the amount of work she needed to do and the time wasted in cleaning up her mess, Ruby had to skip her lunch break. By the time it was time to head home, she was hungry and tired.
So instead of heading to the gym as her usual plan would entail, today Ruby headed back home.
As the clock neared half past 6, Ruby pushed her key into the lock of the apartment she and Oscar shared. With a click, the door opened and Ruby went inside.
“I know I’m early, babe,” she said as she kicked off her shoes, hearing Oscar move around in the kitchen, “But I had the longest day today and I just wanted to-”
She fell silent as she entered the kitchen, taking in the scene in front of her.
The dinner table, set with plates and candles ready to be lit. The stove, covered in pots of food, the heavenly smell washing over her. Oscar, looking at her in surprise and slight panic.
And on the counter top, a small black box, opened to display a sparkling ring.
She took in a sharp intake of breath as she realized what this meant.
“It’s a ruby,” Oscar said softly, watching her carefully, “but it’s not nearly as beautiful or as precious as you.”
“Oscar,” she breathed, taking in the beauty of it, of him.
He took the box from the counter and came in front of her. Tentatively, he got down onto a knee.
“Ruby,” his eyes shined with tears, “I was planning to do this later but here it goes.”
He took a sharp breath and began again.
“I love you so much. More than anything in the world. You’re the love of my life, my best friend,” he smiled softly, “the girl of my dreams.”
Ruby let out a tearful laugh.
“I see you and my entire day brightens. Every part of me, wants you, needs you. I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else.”
Tears were streaming down both their faces but they did nothing to stop them.
“Will you marry me?”
She clasped her hand to her mouth, feeling as though she was about to explode with joy.
“Yes,” she nodded fiercely, “Yes, yes, yes! Of course!”
Oscar stood up, wiping away the tears from his face. He pushed the ring onto her finger and she was sure her heart would burst. She leaned into kiss him when-
“Is something burning?"
"The food!”
As Oscar rushed to save their food, Ruby watched him, absolutely certain she was the happiest person in the world.
As he turned off the stove and moved the food, he glanced back at her and gave her a lopsided grin.
Hi! I haven’t posted a one short in a really long time, have I? Jaskdbsj well, um… I had promised this fic to my mom @healing-winston-pratt a while ago, and since yesterday everyone was talking about Winston, I said to myself “this is a good moment to post the fic, Obsi”. So… here I am:’)
Gosh, I feel akward. I swear I am not like this xjhksfdhds (who am I kiding, I’m just as akward as I seem) (reference not intended) It’s just that… like, there are another characters in the Renegades trilogy that hit me too close home, but Winston just hits me in a place that no other character has done before, and I wanted to write a little bit about him. I mean… not gonna lie, it’s a sad fic. But it has a happy ending! Angst-Fluff as they say in my village (?
Two quick notes: First, trigger warning for mentions of sexual abuse. It’s nothing explicit, it’s just mentioned, but anyways, I want to warn that if anyone feels uncortable reading it, don’t worry, keep scrolling. Second, I tried to tag everyone who reblogged the post made by @chikuyi-hiro (fuck, I can’t tag them), the one where we all claimed to be part of the Winston Pratt defense squad (? I’m sorry if you didn’t want to be tagged sjkdfhskjddsj Also, um… tell me if you would like to be tagged in future works of mine. If everything works out, I will be posting two one-shorts this week (one halloween themed and the other will be my contribution to Osby October) so… if you want to see them or other fics like that, I can tag you:’)
Well, Obsi, let them start reading, for fuck’s sake.
*le da el dibujito que hizo en el kinder* Hope you like it mom:’)

Tag list: @nodrianbcyes @dawniebb @alecjamesartino @everyone-has-a-nightmare @plain-jane-mclain @honey-harper-official @itsalittlebitchilly @novas-egg-beater @sanktaleksander and all the “Winston Pratt Defense Squad” (?
From the first day she appeared in his life, Winston realized that Nova gave him the creeps. He first thought it was because she was Ace Anarchy’s niece, but no.
What gave him the creeps was that Nova didn’t sleep.
Leroy had told him not to comment on it. Winston didn’t know if it was because he thought he was going to hurt the girl’s feelings or if it was because he didn’t want Ace to listen to him and take it as a personal insult. Winston didn’t care either way, because it wasn’t like he was going to shout it from the rooftops.
Bad/Weird Things the Renegades Did that Proved Nova and the Reject's Points:
They didn't realize Evie was missing as a baby. Either when they came back to dispose of the bodies and make sure everything was taken care of the didn't notice the missing baby corpse or they just left the landlord to deal with it on his own and just walked in, said that they died, and left which is it's own type of bad
Imprisoned and tried to execute a fucking child with limited proof
Okay I know she was guilty but she was still 16/17
And she tried to assassinate a government leader
Based on how her "uncle" showed up that means that they saw Nova had committed these crimes and didn't question said uncle at all
If they did and the number didn't work they didn't investigate further or find that suspicious
They never once considered any option other then Nova, a teenaged girl, caused all that damage on her own without her uncles knowledge
They never considered at all that she was abused, being threatened by the Anarchists, or anything like that even though she had clear ties to the Anarchists that they were aware of such as stealing the helmet, the Detonator admitting their affiliation, having the same weapons dealer as the Anarchists, knowing the Anarchists, saying Ace's phrase to them, and ALL OF WHAT THEY SUSPECTED WAS NIGHTMARES THINGS IN ONE OF THE SUBWAY CARS!
They weren't able to solve Georgia's murder. Like they knew it was an Anarchist but after the treaty they never even asked who killed her.
Were straight up fighting with children in combat like what the fuck was that
Just put Max in a quarentine and instead of trying to find a way to help him control his powers they instead used him as a lab rats for their own personal gain via Agent N
Also yeah Agent N was fucked up and they used a prisoner as a live test of it which was messed up
They held a public execution and we're going to let children witness it (Magpie was there) and we're going to let them be executed via an ice covered crossbow by a pissy girl in her early twenties to please her
Didn't actually do anything to help prodigies despite the ability to and instead depended the hierarchy
If you were a prodigy and didn't use it for Renegades or a specific job related to your powers you were pretty much useless and they would take away the powers of those who used them for crimes purely because they didn't use them how they wanted.
Okay like criminals use arms for crime you going to take away those too?
Instead of taking criticism into consideration they just made things more unjust and worse
Gave the Anarchists the tunnels to live in as a safe place for them but Nova mentioned that there was talk about them taking back the tunnels to rebuild the subway leaving the Anarchists without their promised home and going back on their treaty
While the council may have been unaware about Genissas cruelty that was still a thing that happened under their watch that was umm 😬😬😬😬 yikes to say the least
Gave Winston therapy after arresting him for being an Anarchist but didn't offer the same to Nova who was a child and probably had just as much tragedy and possibly even an explanation for what happened in certain events like Max being impaled.
Wouldn't leave their office for important things like investigating into Nightmare but for some reason felt the need for all of them to come to the library fire even though they were all useless there aside from Kasumi. Like I get concerned parents but like what were they going to really do
Tell me if I missed anything bc there's a lot that needs to be discussed.
