Have you ever gotten everything you ever wanted?
this cured something in me but idk what
AITA for giving my family what they've always wanted?
My (M~50) twin (F~50) and I are very close and have been co-workers for most of our adult life, including years helping our father (M~90) with his life's work. A few years back my twin was really struggling mentally after losing her two children and we exist in a universe where mental health professionals don't really exist.
She has this ability to alter reality which takes a lot of focus to manage. When she was grieving there were some subconscious issues with her ability that seriously inconvenienced a number of people, including our co-workers.
They spoke to me about having an intervention for her but the first plan they went with was *killing her.* Obviously this was unacceptable and it undermined my trust in the work environment. I excused myself and warned my father but he didn't know what to do, and I got the impression he was going to let them kill her (I think? It was a really brief emotional exchange.)
I love my twin and think she deserves better support, but I do take our work seriously so I devised a plan where everyone gets what they want. Literally. I convinced my twin to alter reality so that everything would be ok and offered my full support.
It worked! Her kids were alive again, our family was together with dad in the position he's wanted his whole life, and everyone else got the life they'd always wanted. The best bit is nobody remembered the old reality so everyone was happy... except for this one co-worker (who has always been a jerk and a hater with terrible memory) who somehow remembered the old reality and convinced everyone else life wasn't 'real' Whatever that means.
Long story short our ingrate co-workers even convinced dad life wasn't real and next thing he's all 'BOY, WHAT DID YOU DO IN MY NAME?' Then he *killed* me! I was so surprised at his reaction and it happened so fast that I didn't have time to think - and I'm usually very fast.
I eventually got better (death is less permanent in our universe) but a lot happened while I was gone. There was a complication with my twin's ability and trauma that ended up affecting a LOT of people. People mostly blame my sister (again, who they were going to kill. hypocrites) but my name is dirt too. I think I acted responsibly with everyone's best interest in mind in a very difficult situation, but the harsh words I'm getting are making me think I might be TA (for the first time in my life.) So, AITA?
adrien would write "sold to ladybug by my father" fanfic
I woke up to the ring of my alarm clock. Jumping out of bed, I passed the mirror nearby and saw, my green eyes were tired and my golden hair ruffled with sleep.
"Adrien!" My father yelled, "Come down right this second"
"Coming, Father" I rolled my eyes and went downstairs. But just as I entered the parlor, I saw...
"Ladybug??" I squeaked, blushing furiously.
"Hey, hot stuff" she smirked
"Get your bags" My father popped up from behind me "I sold you to Ladybug"
"What????" I screamed.
"Yes, son." The fashion "mogul", also known as his father said sternly. "I need more funds to make cheap questionable looking clothing that all looks the same to fit my one model and use that to sell 10 different brands of perfume that all smell the same."
"But I am your only model. " Adrien retorted, trying to avoid Ladybug's eye.
He was unsuccessful, because the second he caved she had scooped him into her arms bridal style.
"You clearly take after your mother. You're going to be mine now." She said to him, making him blush even more. He felt very self conscious about his rumpled hair. If only he had enough time to throw it into a messy bun...
Meanwhile, his father had just realised what he had done, selling his cash cow to the elusive superhero of Paris.
"See ya, sucker, hope you retire!" Ladybug said, effortlessly throwing the bag of money she bought her Adrien for right on to his brittle old man bones before taking off into the skyline with his son.
My face was on fire as Ladybug clutched me to her chest as we flew over the city. I looked down at the street, truly realizing how strong Ladybug must be to move this fast. Gazing down at me with her sparkling aquamarine orbs, Ladybug smirked. “Like what you see?”
I stuttered for a response but before I could utter a word the devilishy handsome Chat Noir dropped down from the rooftops.
“What’s up hot stuff?” Chat winked. I blushed, suddenly on fire in my button down shirt and blue jeans.
“I know we’ll have fun with him because he has a problematic father” Ladybug said as she brushed my hair back.
(A/N: This is the outfit I was wearing btw:)
