can you please give us an update on (y/n) lively-reynolds and tom i’m so curious on how they’re doing. Or if they have a child????
Happy to!
So, it's been a little over half a year since Tom and (Y/n) got married, so they're just enjoying this new step of their lives. They had their extended honeymoon (Tom had to stop (Y/n) from stealing all the cats in that island, it was not an easy feat), and came back home where Tala was eagerly awaiting their return after staying at her grandparents'.
Christmas and New Year's were once again spent at their house, where they got a frankly ridiculous amount of dog toys. Harrison, however, is no longer allowed to give them presents that they will open publicly. No, I will not elaborate. But it was bad enough that Georgia almost broke up with him.
(Speaking of which, the date did in fact go great. Harrison Osterfield and Georgia Lighthaven are the new power couple since Tom and (Y/n) dropped off the face of the world. They call them Gerrison.)
They don't have children yet, decided to just enjoy their time together for now, but they've had a serious discussion about it. They knew they wanted children, but after much talking and researching, decided to go for adoption instead of biological. They don't care how they get their children, they'll love them either way, and there's thousands of children begging for a home. They've started the process to be certified and as of Christmas morning, are now certified foster parents.
Everyone's really excited but respecting their wish to take their time.
Well...
Except for Ryan.
He keeps sending them TikToks of adoption videos and children doing cute things.
He's very excited to be a grandparent.
And also, he needs to look on the bright side of things cause fucking Tom won this year's NYE 24-hour contest and Ryan is still not over it.
But revenge will be sweet once he becomes his grandbaby's favourite.

“Alright, sweetheart, deep breaths, everything’s gonna be alright.”
She follows her mother’s instructions, taking in shaky gulps of air.
Breathe in, two, three, four.
Hold, two, three, four.
Breathe out, two, three, four.
Hold, two, three, four.
“Feeling better?”
She nods slowly, then immediately shakes her head.
“No, this is a disaster!”
Blake finally gives up on keeping her dress unwrinkled, sitting down on the floor next to her.
“Angel, everything’s gonna be alright, I don’t even know why you’re freaking out so much. You’re marrying your best friend. You two love each other so much, and you’re gonna be so happy, there’s nothing to worry about.”
She sniffles.
“But there are so many people, Mommy. And they’re all gonna be looking at me. You know I’m not good at the mushy stuff when I have eyes on me, they make me nervous. This is supposed to be perfect, and instead, we had to invite a hoard of insignificant Suits and entitled bitches, all for business. We already give them so much, why couldn’t we just keep this to ourselves?”
She sighs, and brings her daughter closer to her body, crushing her in a hug.
“Cause the world sucks, and it’s all part of the business. You and Tom have been on a break from acting for three months now, and you’ll stay there for another year at the very least. These Suits like to feel like they’re important, and inviting them to events like these keeps up a good relationship for when you come back.
“Besides, who cares about them? You’ll have to shake their hands once at the reception when you’re making your rounds and then it’s over. Don’t let a handful of idiots ruin the best day of your life.”
(Y/n) nods, gently wiping at her eyes, then crawls until she’s in front of the mirror.
“Well, at least we know the waterproof makeup works.”
Blake just smiles.
—
When Ryan first sees (Y/n) he has to pinch his thigh to keep himself from outright sobbing.
“Hey, no! No, no, no, you’re not allowed to cry, because if you cry, I cry, and if I cry, I’ll trip on my dress. These heels are tall, keep yourself together for both our sakes.”
It’s hard, it’s very hard, that’s his little girl, his sweet little daffodil, and she’s gonna sail off into the sunset with the love of her life.
“Alright, let’s do this shit. Try not to fall.”
He’s glad to see that Tom starts crying the second he sees her, so really it isn’t emotional weakness as much as it is the (Y/n) In A Wedding Dress Effect™.
(Y/n) manages to stay composed the whole walk, although her eyes are shining quite a lot.
“Thomas, if you hurt her, I will do something so unspeakably cruel to you that Satan himself will shudder.”
Tom looks at him with a face full of betrayal.
“What if she hurts me?”
“Oh, she most certainly will, you’re much more emotionally fragile than she is. That’s why I know that if you hurt her, it’ll be over something big, and therefore I’m legally allowed to fuck you up.”
(Y/n) kisses his cheek happily.
“Thank you, Daddy, the shovel talk was long overdue.”
It was actually part two of the shovel talk: wedding edition, but she doesn’t need to know that.
—
Taylor reaches into her purse and passes Harry a tissue, eyes still focused on the happy couple in the front.
This is it, right here.
The way (Y/n)’s looking at Tom like he’s the second coming of Christ. Tom rubbing his thumbs on her hands cause he just can’t stop touching her. The way they keep tapping each other three times, an endless loop of I love you I love you I love you.
This is what she’s been trying so hard to describe her whole life.
It gets her a little emotional…to remember the little girl who used to gape at her, and who’s now a badass independent woman marrying the person of her dreams.
It’s a lot.
And if she feels like she’s one strong gust of wind away from an emotional breakdown, she can’t even imagine how Blake and Ryan are faring.
“I understand that you’ve written your own vows. Tom, if you’d like to go first…”
He nods and clears his throat, wiping his sweaty hands on his pants before grabbing (Y/n)’s again.
“Do you remember the night we met? When you were crying over a movie and I took you to Burger King to cheer you up?”
She rolls her eyes and Taylor can relate, honestly. The whole world knows that story at this point.
“Vividly.”
He smiles so softly that Taylor’s itching to pull out her notebook and start writing.
“I’ve never told you how I fell in love with you. I always told myself I’d tell you the story in our wedding vows, so here it is. From the moment we left the afterparty, you kept ranting about the movie, about how it’s gonna end, about your theories… And I loved listening to them. There was one moment though, where you just took a huge bite out of your cheeseburger, while mid-rant… and on everyone else, that would’ve looked disgusting, but your eyes were shining so bright, and you were giving me your full attention and that…that was when I knew I loved you. And I would keep loving you for the rest of my life, 'cause there’s no one else in the world who could pull me in as completely as you do, even though there was ketchup dripping down your chin.”
(Y/n) blinks back tears, eyes wide.
“Oh, you fucker.”
That’s love, Taylor’s sure of it.
—
Now, to be perfectly honest, Harrison thinks those vows were shit.
Seriously?
You looked disgusting but I still thought you were hot?
That’s his big wedding speech?
As the good Best Man he is, he’s considering smacking Tom upside the head and making him start over.
He’s not expecting (Y/n) to like it to the point of tears, though.
Like, I’m sorry, but what the fuck?
He’s lucky he’s an actor cause no ordinary person would’ve been able to keep the confusion out of their face, and you don’t want a hoard of confused people on your wedding pictures.
(Y/n)’s turn now, and hopefully, she’ll do better.
“I promise that your ability to cook, clean, and remind me to eat only make up sixty per cent of why I’m marrying you.”
Harrison has to fight back the urge to sigh and facepalm.
“I wasn’t planning on liking you, let alone falling as deeply in love with you as I did. My plan was to hate you, make all my fans hate you, and do it fast enough that Marvel would have no choice but to replace you with Andrew again.”
From the audience, Andrew laughs.
“But unfortunately for me, you’re not easy to hate, and let me tell you, I tried really hard. You slithered your way into my heart like a particularly stubborn snake and I had no choice but to let you carve out your home within me and prepare myself for the inevitable heartbreak.
“That still hasn’t happened. For some reason, you’ve chosen to ignore the fact that I’m a barely-functioning sarcastic bitch whose favourite way of showing love is through insults and slaps on the ass.
“I don’t know why you chose me, and I expect I’ll be thanking every deity out there for the rest of eternity for putting you in my life, but I know that I couldn’t have chosen a better partner if I had tried.”
She pauses, and Harrison thinks that maybe, just maybe, at least one of them will have said nice vows.
“Also there’s no way I’m gonna live in a world where I can’t bite your ass on the daily, so you better say I do or I’ll end you.”
And he spoke too soon.
Tom still reaches behind him to grab the tissues Harrison was told to bring. Maybe his best friend was dropped on the head as a child, so now everything makes him emotional.
—
Nikki keeps her eyes firmly on her son and daughter-in-law as they flit around the room greeting their guests. She and Blake have made it into a game of sorts.
Every time (Y/n) wipes her hands on her dress after shaking hands with a Suit, Tom pulls her back by the waist, or the happy couple are asked to kiss, they take a sip of the very expensive and very tasty red wine provided for them.
The sound of clinking glasses feels the air once again and Blake tilts her glass.
“Bottoms up!”
And that’s one more glass finished. How far along are they now? Five? Six? She looks around at the empty bottles. Maybe a little bit more.
“Oh, my God, I’m so glad it’s over if I had to deal with another second of that, this wedding would have turned into a remake of Saw!”
(Y/n) slumps down heavily onto the chair, toeing off her heels until she can bring her knees to her chest and lean on the backrest.
“Why did we have to have a wedding? We should’ve just eloped. It would just be us, maybe I’d fly us out to Iceland and we could get married in a hot spring, I’m sure the water would do wonders to relax us, no?”
Nikki fills up her glass and hands it to (Y/n), who immediately downs it.
“Look on the bright side, tomorrow morning, you’ll be on a flight to Syros and one step closer to a full month spent only with your husband and the inordinate amount of cats on that island.”
Nikki’s been there. It’s amazing. They should plan a family holiday there.
“I agree.”
Oh, she’s talking out loud now.
“Yes, you are. But Nikki!”
(Y/n)’s eyes brighten, and she feels her arm get grabbed and pulled towards her brand new daughter-in-law.
“You said husband. I have a husband, I’m married!”
Yes, if someone had to marry her sweet little boy, she’s glad it was someone like (Y/n).
—
“And now, please gather around to watch Mr and Mrs Holland have their first dance as a married couple.”
While they get into place, Harry shares a look with his own husband, sitting primly at the piano, staring back at him.
When (Y/n) and Tom first came to them, shily asking them to sing If I Could Fly as their wedding song, Harry burst into tears. He just loves love, and to be a part of something as monumental as a first dance-
He really should have said no cause Louis just started playing and Harry’s already having a hard time holding back tears.
But the way Tom and (Y/n) stare at each other- that’s how he stares at Louis. And it’s the look he sees reflected back in his husband’s eyes every second of the day.
Love is just such a beautiful thing.
For your eyes only I’ll show you my heartFor when you’re lonely and forget who you areI’m missing half of me when we’re apartNow you know me, for your eyes only
He feels privileged to even be in the same room as them. It’s no secret that (Y/n)’s fiercely private. She loves, deeply and wholeheartedly, but not for others to see. She loves each person in their own special way, pieces of her heart are cut, shaped, and fitted to fit her feelings for everyone around her. But her love for Tom as it’s shown today is a sight to behold.
It’s the sun after long dreary weeks. It’s the first flower bloom after months of cold, harsh weather. It’s seeing the stars out in the countryside after a life spent in the city.
Harry loves love, but he thinks that right now, he may love their love the most.
—
Georgia takes yet another sip of the very expensive but very tasty champagne offered.
To be honest, she didn’t want to come. Weddings are boring, if not for the open bar, and knowing that she isn’t really welcomed here isn’t making her feel particularly better. I mean, she’s met (Y/n) all of once and they mostly trash-talked the Kardashians, she can’t have made an important enough impression to be an esteemed guest.
But, the Lighthavens are an important family in the film industry, earning them an invite to the most awaited event of the year, and it would look bad if someone didn’t show up to represent them.
Still, being twenty-seven and single, there are many things she’d rather do than sit by the open bar getting smothered by other couples’ happiness while she wallows in her own misery.
“Whiskey sour, please.”
He turns towards her.
“And refill the kind lady’s glass.”
Oh, goodie.
She barely spares him a glance, eyes still focused on (Y/n), flitting around the room.
“Enjoying the wedding?”
She shrugs.
“It’s entertaining.”
He puts a hand on his heart in fake offence.
“Ouch. As the Best Man, it’s my job to ensure everyone’s having the time of their lives, so tell me, what can I do to make this night more enjoyable for you?”
She turns towards him, taking in the ruffled blonde hair, white shirt sleeves folded up to his forearms, vest and tie discarded somewhere.
“Actually, your job is to stop any upcoming crisis so the groom doesn’t get blamed and inevitably murdered by his newly-aquired wife.”
She steals the whiskey from his hand and starts drinking it. He blinks dazedly but dutifully orders another.
“Your unhappiness could quickly become a crisis, though. As much as she hates to admit it, (Y/n) doesn’t like it when people are miserable, especially when she’s having so much fun.”
She sighs.
“Do you know who I am?”
Panic shoots through Harrison’s eyes. It’s fleeting, and it’s subtle, but it’s real.
“Am I supposed to?”
Interesting.
“You’re telling the truth.”
He shrugs.
“(Y/n)’s motivated me to be more honest, although I can’t quite see the benefits she’s always raved about as of yet.”
She smirks into her glass.
“You genuinely have no idea who I am.”
A single mention of him from her lips and his acting career would shoot through the roof.
“I’m sorry. Although from how happy you look, maybe I’m not?”
“What’s it gonna be?”
He’s saved by the bell.
“All the unmarried people out on the floor I wanna see which unlucky bastard will have all grandmas pinching their cheeks and cooing cause they're next.”
A collective groan was heard throughout the crowd.
“If it helps, there’s a hundred-dollar bill in the bouquet that you can keep.”
That got people moving.
Harrison takes a look at her ring finger.
“Not gonna join?”
“If you out me as single, I’ll end you, there’s no way I’m doing this.”
He shrugs.
“Suit yourself. I’ll be back as soon as I’ve broken whatever fight will undoubtedly come from this bouquet tossing.”
He stands on the sideline, ready to stop things from escalating.
The bouquet lands in his hands.
(Y/n) squeals.
“Oh, fuck yeah! Even with my back turned my aim is impeccable.”
Tom pushes him forward when Harrison’s reluctant to move and whispers something in his ear.
Georgia doesn’t break eye contact while he walks towards her and takes a lavender rose out of the bouquet.
“Here. It matches your dress.”
Alright so maybe weddings aren’t that bad.
—
It’s a testament to his patience that Tom waited until the hotel door is closed before pressing (Y/n) up against the wall and getting started on his Wedding Night Ravishing.
“Fuck, I can’t believe we actually pulled it off.”
She mumbles through their kisses and to be fair, he kind of can’t either.
“I swear to God- we got him the perfect fucking girl- if he doesn’t invite Georgia on a date- fuck, baby- I’ll kill him myself.”
He starts trailing kisses down her neck, slowly unzipping her wedding dress.
It’s pretty, and it’s special, and it has pockets, he’s not gonna rip it, thank you very much, he wants to have ‘just got married’ sex tonight.
“Georgia’s a tough one to get to, you said it yourself. He’ll have to work for it.”
She pulls his hair harshly until they’re eye to eye and he moans. His pupils are probably about as blown as hers right about now.
“You had to work for me.”
He licks his lips and her eyes trail on the movement, mouth falling open unconsciously.
“And what a good fucking decision that was.”
And if there’s one thing that never fails to get her going, it’s that.
“How loud do you think you can make me scream before the other residents complain?”
Challenge fucking accepted.
—
(Y/n) lowers her sunglasses a tad, wanting to take in her husband in all his blazing glory, no filter in between them.
Whoever invented honeymoons was a fucking saint. One month of a near-constantly naked Tom more than eager to fuck her into the nearest solid surface made for a very happy (Y/n).
Currently, she’s sunbathing on a pool chair with a mimosa while Tom is swimming laps in the pool. Or was. Now he’s getting out and the water’s trailing down every single inch of him and suddenly she’s not as thirsty for champagne and orange juice-
“Princess, are you listening?”
Her eyes flit back up to his face.
“Don’t ask me the colour of anything, this isn’t fair, you’re distracting.”
He chuckles and climbs over her, tasting the mimosas right out of her mouth.
“I’m distracting? You’re distracting! Do you know how hard it was to swim my usual laps while you’re just laying here, happy and calm and naked and mine?”
She grins smugly.
“I can feel how hard it was, yeah. I’d ask if you’re up for it, but I kind of already got that answer, so you should just hurry and get it in.”
For a few more glorious seconds, she gets lost in the kiss and in his hands moving along her body, getting so close, so close-
“No, but actually I did get out of the pool for a reason.”
In the back of her mind, she remembers Harry in that one concert saying this is called edging after stopping Kiwi for the millionth time, and the way Tom grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him, smiling in interest.
If she weren’t such a good person, she would have kicked him in the balls for that.
Unfortunately, she needs those, so.
“Haz got a date with Georgia.”
Her jaw drops open and she slaps his arm happily.
“What the fuck, are you serious? Tom! This means it worked! We got them together! We’re the best fucking matchmakers in the world!”
Tom chuckles and flips them over until she’s straddling him, running his hands from her knees to her waist, where they dig in just a little.
Great idea, if you ask her.
“Calm down, darling, it’s just one date.”
She hums.
“That’s what I said about you, and now look at where we are. We’re married and on our honeymoon.”
His eyes all but sparkle at that.
“We are. We’re married. I’m your husband, and you’re my wife, and we’re married.”
She leans down, can’t stop herself from snogging his face off when he looks so sweet and happy at the prospect of spending eternity by her side.
“And we’re gonna live happily ever after, right?”
“And we’re gonna live happily ever after, princess.”

Click.
The image opens to (Y/n) Lively-Reynolds sitting in Vanity Fair’s lie detector test room. She’s being hooked up to the machine.
“This isn’t gonna hurt, is it? I’ve never taken a lie detector test before.”
The blonde woman in charge of the polygraph shakes her head.
“You’re gonna be fine.”
As soon as she’s hooked up, a man starts speaking off-screen.
“Is your name (Y/n) Lively-Reynolds?”
She looks at him with a brow quirked.
“Yes.”
She’s leaning forward in her chair, elbows resting on the table.
“Are you twenty-four years old?”
“I am.”
“Are you about to take a polygraph exam?”
She blinks slowly.
“To the best of my knowledge, yes.”
The image cuts to a white screen with bold black lettering on it, spelling out (Y/n) Lively-Reynolds tells the truth.
The image comes back to her, sitting at the table, with the polygraph on the top left corner.
“How are you feeling?”
She leans back in her chair, looking like the very picture of nonchalance.
“Good. Confident that I’ll pass.”
“You shouldn’t have a problem if your answers are truthful.”
She smirks.
“Which is why I’m confident.”
She briefly looks over at the polygrapher, who nods.
“See? I’m telling the truth.”
The screen then shows a manila folder with the word Career stamped on it.
“First of all, let’s talk about your career. Would you say you prefer acting to music?”
She shakes her head.
“No.”
“Is music your true passion, then?”
“I’d say they’re both on the same level.”
The polygraph shows no sign of wavering.
“Did you like your character in Supernatural?”
She smiles, probably remembering her time on the show.
“Yes, very much so.”
“Have you ever regretted taking part in the show?”
She immediately shakes her head.
“No. Never.”
“Have you ever regretted any of the movies or shows you’ve participated in?”
She purses her lips.
“No, I don’t think so.”
“Why not?”
She pauses for a few seconds, measuring her words.
“I think every show was an experience. I learned something from each of them, and I made some good friends. There’s something good to be taken from all of them, and I don’t think I could regret that.”
She looks at the polygrapher, who only nods in a confirmation that she’s telling the truth.
“Which of the characters you played did you identify with the most?”
She widens her eyes a bit, puffing out a breath.
“Helena from Heartbeat, maybe?”
“Which director did you like to work with the most?”
She doesn’t even hesitate at that one.
“Chloé Zhao, definitely.”
“Has Marvel ever contacted you to participate in a movie?”
She shook her head.
“No.”
“What about DC?”
“Also no.”
She licks her lips, smacking them together.
“You’ve said recently that you’re going to take a small break from acting. Do you have any idea how long it’ll last?”
“As long as I deem fit.”
The image cuts to another manilla folder, this time with the word Serendipity stamped on it.
“Your second album, Serendipity, is coming out in three months’ time, so let’s talk about that. First of all, how many songs will your next album have?”
“Thirteen. Same as Stepping Stones.”
Her lip twitches slightly.
“Which one is your favourite?”
She looks down at the table, contemplating the answer.
“It changes pretty frequently, but right now, maybe track five.”
“You’re not gonna give us the name?”
She grins smugly.
“Nope.”
“How soon after finishing Stepping Stones did you start writing it.”
She smiles.
“During, actually. Originally, this was supposed to be all one album, but I later decided to separate it into two.”
She looks pointedly at the camera.
“Which is why you’ve heard so many unreleased songs.”
“Would you say the songs in this album are better?”
She purses her lips.
“Not necessarily better, but they definitely have a different vibe to them. Stepping Stones was more songs about myself, growing up, and the things I went through to get where I am. Serendipity is a much more…settled album. While Stepping Stones was all reminiscing, Serendipity is living in the moment, realising the things we have and being grateful for them.”
She smiles.
“Did you have any help writing it?”
She nods.
“Yes, of course. Taylor helped a lot, obviously. But I also spent quite a fair amount of time around Louis and Harry. Tomlinson, I mean. I really admire their writing, and they’re ace people, too. They made writing fun and not too intimidating.”
She straightens up a little in her chair, squirming uncomfortably at the bar around her chest.
“Will you start all your albums with the letter S?”
She snorts.
“I don’t know, maybe. That’s still to be decided.”
“Have your parents and boyfriend listened to it yet.”
She scrunches her nose happily.
“No, actually. I’m making them wait until the album is released just like everyone else.”
“Are they okay with that?”
She laughs.
“Absolutely not, no. They’ve taken to either bribing me or pouting in an attempt to get me to give them the album. It won’t work, obviously.”
She looks to the polygrapher.
“Can you confirm that I’m telling the truth so maybe they’ll stop hassling me about it?”
She nods.
“You're telling the truth.”
“Will you be performing at the Grammys this year?”
She quirks her lips.
“That’s for me to know and you to wonder.”
The next manilla folder has the words General Questions stamped on it.
“Let’s get a bit broader, now. Do you prefer living in England or in the US?”
She purses her lips.
“England.”
“Why’s that?"
She shrugs.
“I like rain and people understand my humour much better.”
“Have you adopted a British accent since you moved?”
She quirks a brow.
“I don’t think so, no.”
“How do you take your tea?”
“Splash of milk, two sugars, 'cause I need sweetness in my life. Tom glares at me every time.”
She smirks.
“What’s your favourite thing to do to relax?"
Her smile softens considerably.
“Read. We made sure to get a house with a bay window, and then turned that room into a library. I just sit there for hours on end reading whenever I get the chance.”
“Would you ever want to have children?”
She scrunches her nose minutely.
“Probably. But not right now, at least.”
“Are you and Tom engaged?”
She laughs and holds up her left hand.
“No ring on this finger.”
She leans back in her seat.
“Do you like your mother or father better?”
She groans.
“This question’s been asked a hundred times already, I swear. I like them both equally.”
She rolls her eyes at the ceiling.
“What’s your favourite tattoo?”
She rubs her hand over her collarbone.
“My most recent one.”
“Who was the last person you texted?”
Her eyes widen.
“Uh…”
She takes out her phone, scrolling a bit.
“Tom. I asked him to buy popcorn for tonight.”
She locks her phone again.
“It’s movie night, we’re watching This Is Us again cause I miss Louis but he’s off being a pop star.”
The last manilla folder has the word Philosophy stamped on it.
“Ready for an existential crisis?”
She smirks.
“Always.”
“What would you say is mankind’s greatest flaw?"
She looks into the void, deep in thought.
“Greed.”
“Do you believe in God?”
She shrugs.
“I believe in something.”
“Does practice make perfect?”
She shakes her head.
“Perfection is a myth. Practice makes permanent.”
“What happens when you die?”
She blinks dazedly.
“I mean, I know I look like one, but I’m not actually a Goddess. Hell if I know.”
“If you could do one thing with no permanent consequences, what would it be?”
She purses her lip, scrunching her nose afterwards.
“Not to sound suicidal, but go to the deepest parts of the sea with no protective gear so I could just…see and feel the underwater world.”
She smiles.
“It’s why I love to go diving. The ocean’s pretty.”
“Is the grass greener when you’re in love?”
Her eyes crinkle from how wide her smile is.
“My plants sure are, since Tom actually remembers to water them.”
“How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”
“Seven hundred and fourteen.”
She nods decidedly.
“What is one rule you live by?”
“Keep calm and punch homophobes.”
Her lip twitches.
“What’s something you could never give up?”
“My family.”
“How would you like to die?”
“Loved.”
She smiles softly.
“And last one: at any point during this interview, did you lie and we didn’t catch you?”
She smirks.
“Yes.”

yn_my_beloved: THAT’S IT THEY’RE ENGAGED I’M CALLING IT THAT’S WHAT SHE LIED ABOUT
tomyntheones reply to yn_my_beloved: (Y/n) never lies tho, so it would have to be something she HAD to do. I’m betting it’s a Marvel contract cause then she would have to stay quiet about it. Besides, if they were engaged she would have told us.
yn_my_beloved reply to tomyntheones: They hid their relationship for three years. They would 100% not tell us just so they could watch us freak.
tomfuckinghotland: I shouldn’t find this hot but fuck if seeing her lie flawlessly isn’t turning me on. How the fuck tho? Like was the polygrapher just bad, or?
Jimmy Aubrey reply to tomfuckinghotland: Actually, no, that’s the annoying part. As a licensed polygrapher myself, I didn’t spot any sign of lies. Which is annoying, cause now I’m just as clueless as the rest of you.

(Y/n) Lively-Reynolds appears, sitting on a stool in front of a white background. She’s wearing a white corset top, solid silk on the cups but see through everywhere else, as well as a light blue skirt and some white pumps.
She’s gesturing to her left arm.
“I actually have my next one planned really soon. It’s gonna be just a massive wolf’s head on my upper arm- why are you cringing? How did you end up doing a tattoo segment if tattoos scare you, Claire?”
Cut.
“Hi, I’m (Y/n) Lively-Reynolds and today, I’m here to break down my tattoos!”
The screen shows a number of her tattoos from a few different angles, before turning back to her.
“Alright, let’s try to do this chronologically. So the first tattoos I got were these ones on my outer ankle.”
The camera shows the tattoos, two short words following the curves of each of her lateral malleoli.
“I got these the day I turned eighteen. It’s my parents’ nicknames for me, written in their handwriting. Mom’s always called me angel cause well, I am one.”
She looks at the camera with an expression that screams “duh”.
“And Dad calls me daffodil cause it means new beginning in the language of flowers, and well, we’ve both had those.”
Next is a series of Roman numerals spelling XI-XIII-MMVIII just under her left collarbone.
“This one I got on my Mom’s birthday, just after the first two. It’s the date she adopted me and that we decided to use as my official birthday cause apparently I exude Scorpio energy. Mom often says she should have waited a few weeks cause two Scorpios in one household isn’t manageable. I don’t know what she’s talking about, I’m a delight to be around, especially when my Dad’s involved as well.”
Off-screen, someone asks.
“Do you know your actual date of birth, though?”
“I don’t, actually. The government whipped up a birth certificate when I was left at the orphanage, and they had to guess a bit, but it’s not fully accurate. I figured I’d just keep the day Mom adopted me as my birthday, cause it really did feel like that was the day I was born, you know? It didn’t feel like living until Mom showed me how to.”
The camera cuts to a view of her left arm, where a familiar symbol is tattooed.
“This one here I got the day I filmed my last episode for Supernatural. It’s the anti-possession tattoo that you see on the show, in the exact same place my character had hers. So yeah, a nice memory from the show which also keeps me safe from any demons wanting to take control of my meat suit.”
She smiles cheekily and the crew laughs.
The camera then shows a video of her chest, where the symbols for woman and man are connected by an infinity sign on her sternum. Her hands cover her breasts, and we can see that her nails are painted in a soft pink colour.
“This one I got when I was… nineteen? I think? I was at Comic-Con, during a panel for Supernatural and a girl named Sarah, she had to be a couple of years younger than me at the time… She told me that I was the reason she came out, that she understood that being bisexual is okay and she doesn’t have to choose, then she thanked me for helping her learn who she is.
“That was the moment I realised that I can do good with my platform, that what I say and how I act matter. I scheduled an appointment at Funhouse right after that and I got this tattoo the same day.”
The camera then shows a view of her left wrist, where the word breathe is written.
“This one I got a few months after Supernatural ended. While I was on the show, everyone protected me, cause I was so young. For two years, I lived in a bit of a happy bubble where I got to do what I loved without having to worry about many of the responsibilities.
“But when it ended, that changed. Suddenly, I was getting scripts left and right, people were recognizing me on the streets much more often, tabloids printed out the most gruesome and untrue gossip about me, everyone was wondering what my next step would be, including me…
“It was all a bit overwhelming. I got this cause it’s in an easy-access place, and I can discreetly trace it whenever I’m nervous. It’s such a simple reminder, to breathe, but it got me through a lot of tough times when I was making the transition between being the child of someone famous that few people know or care about, to being someone famous myself.”
The camera then pans to her right ribcage, showing three delicate butterflies.
“I got this one when I was twenty-two. Up until then, I’d always been living with someone, whether that be my parents, or friends that I’d already made.
“But when I started filming for Forsaken, I didn’t have any of that. The plot of the movie is that my character, Adelia, is the sole survivor of a shipwreck and has to learn to take care of herself on a deserted island. It’s not until well into the film that we discover that there’s a tribe living on that island, on the other side of the mountains, and she joins them.
“As such, most of the initial filming was done alone. I was on a Hawaiian island, I only had the crew around me, and as much as I bonded with them, it wasn’t the same as when you have a cast to share the load of filming.
“Much like my character, I had to learn to become independent, to live without my parents or my friends around to always remind me what to do. I didn’t have a PA at the time, either, so I had to learn to check my own schedule and make sure everything was in the right place. It sounds very spoiled, but when we’re filming, we’re extremely busy, so I was sort of on overdrive all the time.
“But at the same time, it made me feel grown, free. I knew that I could take care of myself, but that was the confirmation that I wasn’t a little girl anymore. So as soon as filming was over, I got these tattooed, to represent the freedom and the changes I went through during that filming.”
Subtitles appear on the screen, transcribing a question asked by the interviewer off-screen.
“Do you think that’s what made your performance so good? Even mentioned by some critics as the best performance of your career?”
She nods.
“Definitely. It’s the work I’m most proud of. I think because we went through similar things, I really managed to identify with Adelia. I think at some point the lines between me and her blurred. There’s a big part of me in Adelia and how she’s portrayed, but there’s also a part of Adelia in me, that I’ll most likely carry forever.”
The camera then shows her left ribcage, on the side of her body, where Louis Tomlinson’s famous smiley face is tattooed, along with the phrase we’ll be alright underneath. The lines are a bit wobbly, as though they weren’t done professionally, but the smile on her face as she talks about them is blinding.
“These are two of my favourites, actually. They’re two tattoos that complement each other, and I got them done just last year, in February. Louis and Harry have always been a big inspiration to me, not only because they’re amazing lyricists and performers, but because they stayed together through years of abuse, closeting, and homophobia until circumstances were finally right for them to come out. Since at the time, I was in a somewhat secret relationship as well, it felt nice to talk to someone who understood that yes, I want to brag about my boyfriend, but I don’t want everyone forcing me to admit something so private. I wanted things to be done on our own terms, and Lou and Haz understood that.
“I spent two months with them, showing them my songs, getting closer to them, as well. We started out as mere acquaintances because Taylor introduced us, and two weeks into my stay, I could honestly say they’re some of my closest friends.
“So, after much begging on my part and promises that I would not regret it, I convinced them to tattoo me. Louis did the smiley face with the x’s, cause I love it and I’d always wanted to get it. Then Harry did the we’ll be alright underneath, for two reasons: one is that it’s a reference to Fine Line, my absolute favourite song of his, and a great inspiration for my own debut album, and two is that it’s just a gentle reminder that when everything’s going wrong, it’ll be alright eventually.”
Next is a dragon tattoo on her right thigh. It takes up almost the entire surface of it and is extremely detailed.
“This one, I’m not gonna lie, it hurt like a motherfucker. It’s the most detailed one I have, too. At first, I barely even felt anything, because the thighs aren’t as sensitive, so I was lulled into a false sense of security. But the tattoo was huge and detailed, and it has a lot of shading as you can see.
“I was alright for the first hour, and the second only hurt a little, kind of like how when I got my butterfly tattoos. By hour three it was starting to be really fucking painful, and by the time the artist was doing the last shading, I was ready to chop off my legs and be done with it, it hurt so bad. I wanted to seem tough, so I just followed the instructions calmly and walked out of the studio, but as soon as the door closed and they couldn’t see me anymore, I had Tommy carry me out. I could barely walk.
“Seriously, four hours in what feels like constantly the same spot was– complicated, my leg was sore for a couple of days. Tommy loved it, of course, he likes taking care of me, and he’ll take any opportunity to get to touch me so I just let him mother-hen me a bit.
“Besides, the tattoo was an homage to him so he felt like it was partially his fault that I was suffering. I got it right after we went public with our relationship because dragons are a symbol of strength and hidden knowledge. It’s my way to remember that no matter how much everyone talks and thinks they know everything, we’re the only ones who know who we really are.”
She looks off screen and snorts.
“Oh, my God, are you crying? Maisie, no, don’t cry! If you start crying, I’ll start crying and then my makeup will be ruined.”
Cut.
(Y/n) gently wipes her eyes.
“Oof, okay, that’s enough of that, we still have a couple more. Now, what came after the dragon? Oh, right! The snake!”
The camera now shows a familiar snake, tattooed onto the middle of her back, right over her spine.
“I got this one the day my debut album, Stepping Stones, came out. The snake is my album cover, and although many people see it as a negative symbol, it’s completely different in my book.
“Snakes represent rebirth and transformation, they’re a symbol of creative life force. This album was very personal to me. Lyrically, it can be very vague, and represent many things, but if you look closely enough, it’s like you’ll get a peek into my mind, and into all the moments where I’ve had to change, adapt, and overcome difficulties. This one also hurt like a bitch, which, after the dragon one I should have been discouraged but… Tom always jokes and calls me a masochist cause I keep getting tattoos even though I always end up crying afterwards.”
Finally, the camera pans to her left collarbone, where a series of Roman numerals sits parallel to the first ones, spelling out XVII-XII-MMXXII.
The camera switches back to her just in time to see the brief panic pass through her face, that she cleverly disguises with a laugh.
“This one’s my most recent one! I got it about ten days ago! It’s the date we adopted our dog, Atalanta. She’s a rescue and had been at the shelter ever since she was just a couple of weeks old. Tom actually went there with Harrison, his best friend, cause he was looking to get a cat. But Tom saw Tala and it was love at first sight. So now I have two golden retrievers instead of just one.”
Cut.
She smiles.
“And that’s all the tattoos I have for now! I want to say a special thank you to my interviewer, Claire, my camerawoman, Maisie, and my amazing PA, Georgia, for making this interview run smoothly and not be extremely awkward given that you saw me half-naked for a lot of it.”
The crew laughs and she blows them kisses.
“Anyway, I hope you liked this video, and don’t forget to subscribe to GQ for more videos like these!”
End of video.

The image shows a grey cotton couch in a brightly-lit living room. On the right side sits Blake, dressed in comfortable yoga pants and an oversized sweater that most likely belongs to Ryan. Her legs are folded under her and she’s running her fingers through Ryan’s hair. Ryan sits on the floor in front of the couch, also dressed comfortably, head pressed up into his wife’s hand. Sitting on the left side of the couch is Tom, wearing his iconic bright pink Hello Kitty sweatpants along with a white shirt with the words lol ur not (y/n) lively-reynolds printed across it. On the floor, leaning against his legs sits (Y/n), wearing black sweatpants and a grey and red Louis Tomlinson World Tour crewneck.
“Good morning lovely people!”
“It’s three in the afternoon.”
(Y/n) sighs.
Cut.
“Good afternoon, my beautiful followers!”
“But what if when they watch this it’s night?”
She stares blankly at the camera.
Cut.
“Good evening-”
“But what if-”
“Oh, my God, Thomas!”
Cut.
“Hi, guys!”
Blake snorts.
“Today, I’m joined by my loving boyfriend, amazing mother, and god-complex of a father, round of applause, please.”
The three pose for the camera while sound effects of people clapping and cheering are put in the background.
“Now, the reason why we’re all here together is that, after three months, Tommy and I have finally finished moving into our new house! So Mom and Dad came to help us put everything away cause I’m really lazy, and also I suck at putting together IKEA furniture.”
Blake nods.
“So we just let the boys do it while we laughed at their stupidity.”
They stretch until they can high five.
Ryan and Tom roll their eyes almost in sync.
“Yes indeed. Now, the thing is that while we were alternating between laughing at their stupidity, filming their confused faces, and scrolling through Twitter, I stumbled upon a game you guys had made called Which Reynolds Is Most Likely? Now, the purpose of the game was to decide who between Dad and I was most likely to do whatever.”
Ryan continues.
“And obviously, we couldn’t help but join in on the fun, so we abandoned the VIITSJÖ, got the camera set up, and decided to participate in this game!”
Tom rests his hand on his knee, fingers gently brushing (Y/n)’s shoulder.
“(Y/n) will be reading the questions directly through Twitter while Blake and I, as the resident Reynolds experts, decide who would be most likely. They can argue, but our word’s final.”
Blake and Tom fist bump.
“I really don’t like how friendly you two are.”
“Ditto.”
“And if by some chance, Blake and I can’t decide, we’ll just text Taylor and she’ll decide.”
Cut.
“So let’s get right into it! We should do, what? Maybe ten questions? Fifteen?”
She turns towards the group.
“Fifteen should be fine.”
She nods at her Dad.
“Alright, then, off we go.”
Cut.
“Oh, here’s a good one! Which Reynolds is most likely to win an eating contest?”
The answer is unanimous, immediate, and almost fully in sync.
“Ryan.”
Tom’s the one to explain.
“(Y/n) likes to eat, but eating too much or too fast makes her nauseous and just overall feel bad.”
He tilts his head down, looking right at her.
“You do everything fast, you know? But you always eat slowly. Sometimes I feel like that’s the only time you actually stop to take a breath.”
Blake smiles at them.
Ryan scowls.
“Yes, yes, we get it, you’re in love, now stop looking at her like that it’s disgusting. Anyway, I win round one.”
(Y/n) side-eyes him.
“This isn’t a competition, father dearest, remember? This is more of a they-bash-us-and-we-can’t-say-anything-about-it situation.”
Cut.
“Oh, this one’s a bit obvious but still. Which Reynolds is most likely to adopt an animal and name it after its species? Like, naming their pig Piglet, or their cat Kitty, etc.”
Tom and Blake share a look of ponderation, though they seem to come to a conclusion after a little while.
“(Y/n). You’re always calling animals after their species so it’s really you.”
Ryan nods.
“If anything, you’d try to give them a normal name, but still only call them by their species nickname, to the point where both you and the animal will forget their actual name.”
She blinks.
“Well, alright, no need to call me out that much, geez…”
Cut.
She smirks mischievously.
“This one might be a bit harder. Which Reynolds is most likely to get arrested?”
Ryan immediately points at her.
Blake slaps his hand down.
“Stop pointing at her when the answer’s obviously you. My baby girl’s smart enough that if she ever does anything illegal, she won’t get caught.”
(Y/n) smirks.
“There’s a comment here too that says Which Reynolds is most likely to accidentally get arrested? Does that change your answer?”
Blake shakes her head.
“Nah. The only reason the first one’s answer is your Dad is cause you'd never get caught, but he probably wouldn’t do anything illegal.”
She smushes his cheeks between her palms.
“You’re a big softie underneath all your sarcasm. But you’d definitely end up accidentally getting arrested because you did something illegal without knowing it was illegal.”
Ryan purses his lips.
“Fair enough.”
Cut.
“Which Reynolds is most likely to completely forget how to function when left alone for a week?”
“You.”
It was almost like an instinctive answer.
She pouts but nods.
“Yeah, okay.”
Cut.
“Which Reynolds is most likely to drunk tweet a world leader and get an answer?”
Tom purses his lips.
“Well, I mean, you drunk-tweeted Meghan Markle once and she answered you, so that counts, right?”
She shakes her head.
“That was before she married Prince Harry. Besides, Dad’s more famous than I am, so I feel like he has the highest chance of having someone answer him.”
Blake nods.
“I agree. The world has a bit of an obsession with my husband.”
Ryan smirks.
“I’m every man’s wet dream.”
Blake laughs.
(Y/n) gags.
Tom nods in agreement.
Cut.
“Oh, this will make for a nice story. Which Reynolds is most likely to accidentally get on the wrong plane?”
(Y/n) and Blake immediately turn to Ryan.
“In my defence, it was six in the morning, I had just woken up and I’m not used to flying alone.”
“You went to Tokyo instead of London.”
“Heathrow and Haneda sounded the same to my tired brain!”
“They told you your ticket was for another plane.”
“I just thought I got it wrong when booking the flight!”
Blake facepalms.
“Oh for Heaven’s sake, Ryan.”
(Y/n) turns towards the camera.
“This is why Dad isn’t allowed to fly alone, by the way.”
Cut.
“Which Reynolds is most likely to get returned by their kidnappers cause they were being too annoying?”
They all turn towards (Y/n). She looks around wide-eyed.
“Why are you all looking at me?”
“Two words: One Direction.”
She nods at Tom.
“Yeah, that’s true. But what if the people who kidnap me are Directioners and they don’t mind me ranting about why The Sidelines is the best enemies-to-lovers fic because Escapade doesn’t count as one?”
Ryan blinks at her tiredly, like this monologue is one he’s used to listening to.
“Well, then they wouldn’t be kidnappers anymore because you’d willingly stay and follow them anywhere.”
She blinks but nods in agreement.
Cut.
“Which Reynolds is most likely to spend their entire fortune on concert tickets? Yeah, I don’t even know why I’m asking, I already know you’re gonna say me.”
Blake reaches over to ruffle her hair lovingly.
“If it makes you feel any better, your Dad would spend his entire fortune following you to them if you asked.”
(Y/n) smiles at Ryan.
“Yeah, that’s true.”
She throws herself into his arms and he hugs her tight, pressing a kiss into the crown of her hair. Blake and Tom smile fondly.
Cut.
(Y/n) smirks devilishly.
“Which Reynolds is most likely to buy things just to be able to say they own them?”
They all turn towards Ryan.
“It was one time!”
Tom cocks his brow.
“You bought a three foot tall figure of Green Lantern. You hate Green Lantern.”
“Yes, but Hugh wanted it so I had to buy it.”
Blake rolls her eyes.
(Y/n) nods as if that’s a very good reason to buy something you hate. To be petty.
“So, Dad, then.”
Cut.
“Which Reynolds is most likely to accidentally join a cult?”
Blake frowns.
“I think I’d say Ryan. Honestly, when you get into things, you don’t actually notice that they may be bad for you, so I’d say you’d definitely join a cult and not notice until it’s too late.”
Tom makes a noise of disagreement.
“Well, yeah, but (Y/n) also does that. And, since she can’t take proper care of herself and worships everyone that brings her candy, they could easily lure her out.”
“Well, yeah, but-”
The video’s speed increases, the screen gets a black and white filter, and a stopwatch appears. In the background, Blake and Tom animately talk and debate while Ryan and (Y/n) look increasingly put off. When the stopwatch reaches ten minutes, the image goes back to normal.
“And I understand that, but-”
“Okay, it’s been ten minutes, I’m calling in Taylor for a tie-breaker.”
Ryan takes out his phone and dials the number, putting it on speaker. After six rings, Taylor Swift’s distinctive voice comes out.
“Do you need a tie-breaker?”
“Yes, please, Tay. The question is which Reynolds is most likely to accidentally join a cult? Mom says it’s Dad, Tom says it’s me, I’m not gonna give you any of their arguments, I’m just letting you make up your own mind.”
She hums, then chuckles a bit.
“Well, to be fair, you became a Directioner and a Swiftie of your own accord, despite knowing how crazy these fandoms are. Ryan got pulled in cause he wanted to listen to the music to support us and you, and just ended up not getting out. That kind of counts as accidentally joining a cult, don’t you think so?”
Silence.
(Y/n) blinks into the void.
Ryan looks like he’s put on glasses for the first time after years of myopia.
Blake and Tom look pensive.
“Holy shit, she’s right.”
They let Tom’s statement hang in the air.
“I joined those fandoms? I’m a Swiftie? I’m a Directioner? What the fuck? How-”
Cut.
“Which Reynolds is most likely to turn one of their haters into a hardcore stan?”
Ryan immediately speaks up.
“That’s you. 100%. My haters are basic. Yours? They do almost as much research and obsessive following as your hardcore stans. It would not surprise me if you got all your hardcore stans from people who wanted to hate you but found out they loved you too much for it.”
Blake and Tom nod.
“I concur.”
“I do as well.”
Cut.
“Ha! Which Reynolds is most likely to burn the house down while trying to cook?”
Three fingers pointed at Ryan.
“I’m getting better!”
“You burned pasta last week cause you forgot to put water in the pot.”
Ryan looks down and pouts.
Cut.
“Which Reynolds is most likely to write a spicy fanfic about them and their partner? Nope, never mind, I should read things in my head before reading them out loud, this is not a good one.”
“Well, I mean, I’ve written some, so it’s pretty obvious.”
(Y/n) screams and covers her ears.
“Shut up! I don’t wanna know! Shut! It!”
Cut.
“And finally, wow this one has a lot of votes! It’s a poll one. The question is: Which Reynolds is most likely to fall madly in love with Andrew Garfield?”
Ryan scoffs.
“It’s obviously me.”
(Y/n) crosses her arms.
“Nuh-uh, I win this one. I’ve been obsessed with him since I was sixteen.”
“I kissed him.”
“And it meant nothing to him! You already got your heart broken, just move on and let me have him.”
Ryan gasps, and so the fight continues.
Behind them, Blake laughs delightedly, wincing playfully every time one takes a particularly good jab at the other. She watches the fight as one would watch a wrestling match: sympathetic for the athlete’s pain but simultaneously too enthralled by the fight to care.
Tom, meanwhile, looks out into the void in horror. It’s as if he’s going through the five stages of grief all at once. You can almost hear the words running through his brain.
We’ve been together for almost four years and yet she still likes Andrew better?
Cut.
White lettering over a black screen.
We debated for twenty-five more minutes. Mom tried to call in Taylor. She refused to get involved. We went to Louis and Harry. Taylor had gotten to them before us so their lips are tightly shut as well. Hugh agreed with me but Dad says it doesn’t count cause of their rivalry. Andrew didn’t answer the phone. The choice is in your hands.

A/N: I do actually have the entire plot to this movie in my mind but I’m decidedly Not Thinking About It because if I do, it’ll become a Thing and I don’t have the mental stability or posting regularity for that. I recommend you do the quiz first, personally, but you do as you please. DON'T HESITATE TO DO THE QUIZ AND REBLOG THIS WITH WHO YOU GOT I WANNA KNOW (I got William btw)
Also, in case you missed it, there are three bonus chapters added to this series, you can check them out on the masterlist or here:

The image opens with Tom Holland and (Y/n) Lively-Reynolds sitting at a table in front of a red background. In front of them are two open laptops.
“Hello everyone! My name’s Tom Holland, I play Michael…"
He turns towards (Y/n).
“And I’m (Y/n), I play Helena, and we’re doing a quiz to find out who our Heartbeat soulmate is.”
She nods with a smile and turns towards Tom.
“So, before we start this, who would you like it to be if you could choose?”
He looks at her quizzically.
“Well, you, obviously.”
She purses her lips in thought.
“Yeah, I’m stuck between wanting it to be Helena or Queen Diane.”
He stares at her with his mouth open in shock.
“What? It’s Jennifer Aniston. She’s hot as fuck.”
“She’s also your character’s mother!”
She shrugs.
“That has very little relevance right now.”
The screen turns towards a picture of the poster, captioned with the words The cast of Heartbeat finds out which character is their soulmate.
“Okay, first question, How would your friends describe you? Loyal, rebellious, courageous, charismatic, determined, or compassionate?”
Tom tilts his head slightly to the side.
“Should we do this for each other? Like you put what I think fits you the most and vice-versa?”
She nods.
“Good thinking. I would 100% go with courageous for you. You do backflips. That’s insanely brave in my book.”
He smiles at her.
“Well, you’re the most determined person I know, so I’m saying that.”
They each click on the answers and move on to the next one.
“Question two, What would you rather be doing on a Saturday? Going out to an amusement park, going to a World War II museum, volunteering at a nearby shelter, hiking in a beautiful forest, doing some kind of creative project, or going to see the Swan Lake ballet? These are all very good choices…”
Tom immediately answers while (Y/n) takes a while longer to decide.
“I’m gonna go with hiking. If you do it with the right people, it can be really fun, and there are amazing views.”
She nods.
“I’m gonna arbitrarily decide that the nearby shelter is an animal shelter and choose that one cause I wanna play with puppies and kittens.”
Tom smiles fondly at her as she clicks on the answer.
“You’re adorable.”
“Focus on the quiz, not on my face.”
Tom rolls his eyes but reads the next question.
“What would a perfect gift from your soulmate be? A ticket to go skydiving together, a visit to a drive-through zoo, a giant trampoline, a day at a cat café, an annual pass to the theatre, or a pendant made out of a silver bullet? Oh man, you’re gonna have trouble with this one, aren’t you?”
(Y/n) bites at her nails nervously, eyes flitting between the different answers.
“BuzzFeed must hate me to make me choose between these.”
Tom snorts.
“Alright, well, I feel like going through a drive-through zoo. Maybe I can make friends with a lion, or something.”
(Y/n) side-eyes him.
“So long as I’m emotionally attached to you, you’re not allowed to go near things that could possibly be dangerous without appropriate protection and supervision.”
“And what would that be?”
“In this case? Me.”
“Fair enough.”
She turns back towards the screen of her computer and starts thinking out loud.
“Now the thing is, a day at a cat-café spent with my soulmate would be awesome cause, well… cats. But an annual pass to the theatre shows that they take what I love into consideration, and I love theatre. But then again, the pendant sounds nice cause I can play with it all the time and it’ll remind me of them…”
She nibbles on her lip, eyes flitting between the options.
“Alright, fuck it, I’m going with the cats.”
Tom smiles goofily at her.
“You’re adorable, you know that?”
“I do, actually, got it from my Momma!”
“Ryan’s gonna be sad you didn’t say you got it from him.”
She pursed her lips.
“Well, yeah, but he also raised me not to tell lies, so… I figure I’d show him how well I can remember what he taught me!”
Tom pulls out his phone.
“Oh, this is gonna be good.”
Cut.
When they come back, they’re sitting further away from each other, while (Y/n) looks royally pissed off.
“Which of these would you rather wear? A sapphire ring, citrine bracelet, sunstone choker, aquamarine pendant, lapis lazuli earring, or jasper ring?”
Tom hums.
“I really like the way that choker looks, actually, and it’s not something I wear too often. I feel like being adventurous, let’s go with that!”
(Y/n) scoffs.
“I hope it lives up to its name and chokes you.”
Tom sighs.
“Princess…”
“Don’t princess me, Thomas Stanley Holland, you got me grounded!”
“It’s no big deal, it just means you won’t get dessert at your parents’ this Sunday.”
He might as well have slapped her across the face from how offended she looks.
“Not a big deal? Mom’s making pineapple mousse! You know how much I love that!”
“You can still get it some other time, it’s not like this is the only time she’s ever making it.”
(Y/n) looks at him with her eyes starting to glaze over, voice breaking.
“That’s not the point…”
Tom’s face immediately softens at that, rushing to hug her to him.
“Baby, I’m sorry, I promise I’ll fix it.”
Cut.
(Y/n) is seen sucking on a lollipop, visibly happier. They're now sitting glued together and (Y/n) periodically rests her head on Tom's shoulder.
“Alright, so you went with the choker, right? I really like the earrings, but the bracelet’s so pretty!”
Tom hums.
“The earrings match the suit you bought the other day.”
“Earrings it is. See, this is easy!”
Tom looks at his watch.
“Well, I mean, we’ve been here for about three hours and answered four- I’m gonna shut up now, yeah. Next question! What is the quality you search the most for in a partner? Understanding, loyalty, encouragement, intelligence, humour, or boldness?”
“Is there an ‘all of the above’ answer?”
Tom starts laughing.
“No, but it would make it easier, wouldn’t it? I think I’m gonna go for humour, it’s worked well for me so far.”
(Y/n) fights back a smile.
“You’re such a sap, oh my God. I’m going with understanding. Sometimes when I talk to people I feel like they can never understand what I actually mean, you know? I don’t think I could be in a relationship where the person doesn’t get me.”
Tom’s hand moves towards her chair. From the angle of the camera, we cannot be sure, but it seems that he’s rubbing her thigh in comfort.
“I’ll always understand you, darling, you know that, right?”
She turns to the side and lightly kisses his shoulder.
“Question number six. Which of these would you say apply the most to you? I can be insecure, I have trouble settling down, I can be manipulative to get what I want, I find it hard to be independent, I would sacrifice my happiness for the well-being of others, I tend to use humour to hide my real feelings.”
Tom stretches to the side, and presses I tend to use humour to hide my real feelings on (Y/n)’s computer.
“Hey!”
“It’s true!”
In retaliation, (Y/n) presses I would sacrifice my happiness for the well-being of others.
“And don’t argue, it’s just as true–if not more so than mine.”
They look at each other for a few seconds, seemingly arguing back and forth through their eyes only, before settling back.
“Alright, I’ll concede. Which of these colours is your favourite? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple.”
“I call blue!”
“You can’t just call a colour, (Y/n).”
“I just did.”
He sighs in irritation.
“Fine, guess I’ll go with red, then.”
(Y/n) smiles happily, scrunching her nose, although the happiness fades from her face as soon as she sees the next question.
“Oh, God, not a song lyrics question. And what the fuck? You want me to choose between these? You got Walking in the Wind by One Direction, The Man by Taylor Swift, and Walls by Louis Tomlinson, it’s like you want me to fail!”
Tom smirks.
“Well, as you said before, I call Walls!”
(Y/n) looks at him with an affronted look on her face.
“You bitch.”
She looks back at the screen.
“The thing is, I deeply identify with The Man, cause feminism, and patriarchal society, and constantly being underestimated. But Walking in the Wind is such a beautiful song! It’s like, the perfect amount of feeling and scream-it-until-your-voice-breaks. Also, this specific line really makes me laugh. Just close your eyes and see. Idiots.”
She clicks that one.
“I just want to say that this was an impulsive decision that I will probably regret and un-regret twenty times in the next five minutes.”
Tom nods.
“Question nine, only two more. Choose a spirit animal. Wolf, hummingbird, cow, tiger, dog, and bison.”
He frowns at the screen.
“Not gonna lie, those are some pretty weird choices of animals.
(Y/n) immediately clicks on the wolf.
Tom goes for the dog.
“Ha! Your spirit animal is a weaker, domesticated version of mine.”
He opens his mouth to start arguing.
Cut.
“And last question before we find out who our soulmate is! Which character of Greek mythology would you rather be? Apollo, God of the sun, music, and dance, Hestia, Goddess of the hearth, Eusebeia, personified Spirit of loyalty and duty, Athena, Goddess of strategic war, Prometheus, the Rebel Titan, Midas, King of Phrygia. Well, you know I’m going for Athena!”
Tom nods.
“I wanna be Prometheus, he sounds like a cool lad. Also, he gave humans fire so, thanks!”
(Y/n) snorts.
“What a nerd.”
Cut.
“Oh hey, I got me!”
Tom smiles, happily reading the description.
“Your soulmate is...Michael, Captain of The Storm's Fear! Bold, outgoing, free at heart, every day will feel like an adventure with this handsome pirate Captain. A relationship with him is a constant adrenaline shot, travelling the world together is a must. He won't give up his freedom and may sometimes be overwhelmed by his fear of commitment, but don't be fooled by his aloof exterior: once he's got you, he won't let you go. Aw, that’s such a nice description!”
He turns towards (Y/n).
“You look happy! Who did you get?”
She smiles from ear to ear.
“I got the best possible answer.”
“You?”
“Nope, I got Jen’s!”
Tom’s face drops instantaneously.
“What?”
“Mm-hm. Your soulmate is...Diane, Queen of Elyksos! Generous, compassionate, always ready to help, Queen Diane is the Beauty with a heart of gold. Honest to a fault, when she compliments you, she means every word of it. Even though her people's well-being comes above all else, as long as you don't try to do something stupid like cause their poverty for your own gain *cough King Edmund cough*, she will love you completely and unconditionally. My soulmate’s Jennifer Anniston!”
He gapes at her.
“She’s your Mum!”
“Only in the movie!”
“And she’s like, thirty years older than you!”
“Yes, and?”
Tom shakes his head, defeated.
“For fuck’s sake…”
Cut.
“Alright, and that was all we had for you today! I hope you enjoyed us being tortured by a quiz. Don’t forget to watch Heartbeat, out in theatres on August 21st!”
“Bye, everyone! I’m off to take a ride on Captain Michael’s ship!”
Tom chokes on his own spit.”

tomfuckinghotland: does anybody know why (Y/n) was crying? Like is there some deep meaning behind the pineapple mousse that i don’t know of?
steppingstonesholland reply to tomfuckinghotland: i think i read somewhere that it’s the first thing blake taught (Y/n) to cook and it’s been her favourite dessert ever since

Taglists: (if your name is striked through it means for some reason tumblr wouldn’t let me tag you)
I know you're not taking any request for Lively-Reynolds series so this is just a question, but how did y/n react when Ryan and Andrew kissed in 2016? I feel like that would be hilarious 🤣
Okay, so I wasn't supposed to but this sent my mind reeling so I turned it into a little headcanon while planning part 7, hope you like it!
(Y/n)'s reaction to Ryan and Andrew's Golden Globes kiss
now, you have to understand that this happened while she was filming season 13 of Supernatural (the last of her two seasons on the show)
by that time, she'd gotten real close with the cast
Misha and Jensen kind of adopted her let's be real, they are Dads
so (Y/n) was feeling quite homesick
(filming a show miles away from your family for months will do that to you)
so little 18-year-old (Y/n) decided it would be a good idea to watch the 2017 Golden Globes since her dad was nominated
obviously the cast made it into a whole thing so she wouldn't be alone, cause they're basically family anyway
so they're all sprawled around one massive hotel room, with one massive television playing the ceremony, and surrounded by a frankly obnoxious amount of food (read: candy and burgers, some ribs too)
(Y/n) kept taking sips out of everyone's drinks when they weren't looking
(she thought she was sneaky but the truth is they all knew)
(they were gonna stay in the room anyway, it shouldn't do much harm)
by the time Ryan's category came around, she had her own drink and was way past tipsy
she finally paid attention enough to see who her dad was sitting with
"Oh my God, that bitch's sitting next to Andrew Garfield, he better get me an autograph!"
"Shh, (Y/n/n), they're about to announce the winner!"
he didn't win
her eyes focused on them kissing and Blake's histerical laugh
"I'm sorry, is this an alcohol-fueled hallucination or is that actually happening?"
"It seems that you father's currently lip-locking Andrew Garfield, yes."
she leaned back into the couch and pouted
"I can't believe my dad kissed Andrew before I could. Now I can never kiss him cause I'll always have that image in my head! I was supposed to be the one to kiss the hot british Spider-Man!"
"You've always got the new one, what's him name? John, something?"
heey darling! recently got into your y/n lively-reynolds series and I just wanted to ask if there is any timeline? and by that i mean if you actually thought of the year blake adopted y/n, etc. thank you and have a great day!!
oh totally! so here it is
TYNLRS TIMELINE (plus bonus scenes)
contains spoilers for all chapters so it's best to read it at the end
all new additions are the ones with X in front of them
(Y/n)'s birthday was estimated to be around late October/early November of 1998. She was abandoned in front of a church, therefore they had no means of knowing her actual birth date.
November 13th 2006: Blake adopts (Y/n) from an orphanage in Los Angeles. They were 19 and 8 respectively. Blake went in for a PR visit at the request of her manager but immediately fell in love with (Y/n). After learning that she'd been in foster care for most of her life and had developed selective mutism from the constant moves and instability, Blake decided she'd start the adoption process in order to give her a stable home. Many judged her for it because she was young, and they saw it as "throwing her life away" but Blake never listened, and instead, raised one of the best actresses in our generations. November 13th became (Y/n)'s "official" birthday, as it is the day she was adopted.
March 21st 2016: (Y/n) makes her acting debut in Supernatural at eighteen years old.
April 27th 2018: Tom and (Y/n) meet for the first time at the Infinity War premiere and form a quick friendship that the public immediately adores.
December 16th 2018: Tom and (Y/n) start dating. It becomes harder to dismiss their touches as purely platonic, so the fans start to wonder if there's something other than friendship going on.
[Part 1] June 17th 2021: Tom and (Y/n) are paired up together for a Wired Autocomplete Interview. As their public friendship is very popular, their teams have taken to putting them in interviews together regardless of what they're promoting because it always brings in big numbers. However, this is the first interview they do alone. The fans promptly freak out.
October 28th 2021: Stepping Stones, (Y/n)'s debut album, comes out. She's been writing it on and off since she was thirteen and learned how to play the guitar (courtesy of Ryan), but she really put some effort into it when Taylor took a look at some of her songs and told her they were good.
[Part 2] November 6th 2021: (Y/n) and Ryan Answer the Internet to promote Red Notice and Stepping Stones. It's the first time in ten years that they're put together for an interview and the public can really get a look into their dynamic, even though they talk about each other and their family in other interviews. It was mainly put in as a ploy to draw attention from (Y/n) and Tom's relationship cause the fans were starting to connect Stepping Stones songs to Tom.
[Part 3] February 7th 2022: (Y/n) and Tom go on The Late Late Show with James Corden and play Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts to promote the movie To The Edge And Back. They had an official plan to reveal their relationship a few months down the line, this was part one of the lengthy seeding process so they could get the most publicity out of the revelation of their relationship as possible. Obviously, it all went to shit, but it's okay.
[Part 4] February 18th 2022: Tom and (Y/n) do the Boyfriend Tag on (Y/n)'s YouTube channel. It goes wonderfully wrong, bordering on indecent at times. Their PR teams hate them, and they hate that it worked even more cause know they have no reason to stop them other than "because society said so", and since we all know (Y/n) hates society... Let's just say it was a struggle to talk her out of actually making that Only Fans account solely for the purpose of pissing them off.
[Part 5] March 3rd 2022: (Y/n) goes undercover on the internet. The world finds out she has a Tumblr account and freaks. That's also the day she creates a public Tumblr. From there on, she'll send things she finds on her lurker account to her actual account and reblog them on there with actual commentary. It's caused many fan artists to have metaphorical heart attacks. Fanfic writers went through a two-week phase where they didn't dare put anything out, but after she urged them to keep creating content, the number of fics skyrocketed. Many fanfic writers were contacted by publishing houses after (Y/n) sent them a few snippets to showcase how good some could be.
[Part 6] May 17th 2022: (Y/n), Ryan, and Blake do the Who Knows Me Better? tag. It was brought on when Blake realised there were too many people freaking out about (Y/n) and Ryan, and not enough freaking out about (Y/n) and Blake. Therefore, she set out to prove that she was the Superior Parent and obviously succeeded. Ryan pouted for three days after that video, even more so when the picture they posted as punishment became the most liked picture on his Instagram after only a week.
Early July 2022: Tom and (Y/n) decide to move in together.
[Part 7] July 23rd 2022: Tom and (Y/n) go on BuzzFeed to find out who their Heartbeat soulmate is. It's only the second time they star in a movie together, the first time where they're protagonists and each other's love interests. In To The Edge And Back, they played Dove Cameron's love interests but were never involved themselves.
August 21st 2022: Heartbeat premiere. Their first premiere as a couple, having missed To The Edge And Back's premiere due to all the chaos and media scrutiny. They wear matching pirate-themed outfits, and the fans have a collective aneurysm. Many edits are made. Many fics are written. It's a good day for all involved. (Except for the poor PR intern who's trying to wrestle (Y/n)'s Tumblr password out of her cause she keeps reblogging NSFW things and he needs to make it Stop.)
September 28th 2022: Tom and (Y/n) buy their first house. They decide to buy completely new things to fill the house with (in order to start a new and hopefully more organised life, as well as optimising it to deal with (Y/n)'s ADHD). Their first purchase is a big soft rug and a long coffee table to put in (Y/n)'s office because for people with ADHD, working from the floor is the best way to not get distracted.
[Part 8] October 16th 2022: Tom and (Y/n) officially move into their new place, a house in a very private neighbourhood in London, so they could be close to the city for their jobs but still have privacy. Ryan and Blake help them tidy up the place (and build IKEA furniture, or at the very least attempt to). They decide to do a video for (Y/n)'s YouTube channel following a trend their fans have started called Which Reynolds is most likely to...? It's the first time that (Y/n) and Ryan are seen to be so affectionate on camera (see: the massive hug-tackle during the concert tickets question). They decide to be the ones to host Christmas and New Year's.
December 3rd 2022: Tom and (Y/n) adopt Atalanta, a two-year-old Golden Retriever who was left at a shelter in London and no one's wanted to adopt as of yet. No one understood why, since Golden Retrievers are fairly popular breeds and Tala was perfectly healthy. Tom and (Y/n) often joke that it was fate, that Tala was just waiting for them to pick her up and give her the perfect life she deserves.
X December 17th 2022: Tom proposes to (Y/n). He had a whole plan to do it at Christmas surrounded by their family, but she stumbled upon the ring when searching for the Christmas presents he bought for her. She screamed, ran to him, and threw the box into his chest. She made him ask and didn't even wait for him to finish the first word before she agreed and demanded he put the ring on her finger.
December 18th 2022: (Y/n) gets her XVII-XII-MMXXII tattoo
Christmas 2022: First time (Y/n) and Tom host Christmas. Blake and Nikki immediately get to gossiping about their eldest children. Dom and Ryan have a contest to see who can make the kids laugh the hardest, and it has the added purpose of keeping all children or child-brained adults (see: Dom, Ryan, Harry, James, Inez) occupied. Sam immediately commanders the kitchen. It's big, modern, beautiful, any chef's dream. (Y/n) helped where she could, bringing Sam his ingredients, making sure Blake and Nikki's wine glasses were always full, and helping her sisters to the bathroom when necessary. Betty clung to Tom the whole time, to the point where he got put on strict baby duty. He spent the night with her in his lap, feeding her when dinner time came, rocking her to sleep, listening to her incessant babbles of which he only understood about half. It also included a frankly criminal amount of My Little Pony. Somehow, he got hooked on the show as well.
December 27th 2022: TomYn engagement rumours start after Harry posts a picture of the family where a rectangle shape can be seen imprinted onto Tom's pocket. Many people say that's it clearly an engagement ring's box, while others vehemently deny it, showing through the proportions that it's most likely just his phone or wallet. No statements are put out anywhere.
[Part 9] December 28th 2022: (Y/n) goes on GQ and breaks down her tattoos. Her team got it as a last-minute replacement for some magazine interview, which is why she didn't think of waiting until after to get her newest tattoo.
December 31st 2022: Tom and (Y/n) host New Year's for the first time. All the clocks in the house are turned back three hours so the kids can believe they stayed up until midnight when in reality, they went to bed at a decent hour. They take the previous year's ball drop recording and play it as if it's this year's. Blake almost cries from pride at her daughter's genius idea. The Lively-Reynolds-Holland Fam's New Year's Eve 24 Hour contest takes place, and the points are put down to zero. Tom wins, much to everyone's disappointment. After sufficient pouting and a tear or two, he decided to play We Made It by Louis Tomlinson so that (Y/n) would be happy. It's a good night for him ;)
[Part 10] January 19th 2023: (Y/n) takes a lie detector test with Vanity Fair and admits to having lied during but not being caught. The internet goes absolutely bonkers. WHAT IS THE LIE trends for three days on Twitter.
X January 31st 2023: (Y/n) performs three steps to happiness at the Grammys. It's the 13th song on her second album, Serendipity, separated into three parts. The first one is about her and Blake, how they met, the adoption and the hardships that came with it, and Blake's transition from a legal guardian to her mom. The second part is about Ryan and Blake's meeting and the start of their relationship, followed by Ryan and (Y/n)'s meeting and his transition from Blake's boyfriend to her dad. The last part talks about her meeting Tom, the reluctance to let herself be vulnerable and get into a relationship, them moving in together, and how great things are now, including a mention of their engagement.
April 20th 2023: Serendipity, (Y/n)'s second album and the complementary piece to Stepping Stones comes out. The album is filled with love songs and references to Tom and her family.
