Fastest Girl in Town - Angel Reyes x Reader (NSFW)

Tagging: @witches-unruly-heart @annetje @infinity-mars @danzer8705 @im-just-a-mississippi-girl @the-wandering-lunatic @anime-weeb-4-life @vannabanana1995 @multifandomloversworld @camelia35 @harperdoodle @queeniesdiary @laylasbunbunny @est1887 @justazzie

When Angel first meets you, he’s playing getaway driver as a favour to Riz, who stuck taking care of Club business up in Vegas. After the whole fiasco with the tunnel, Angel figures he owes him, so he does as he’s told and parks a Buick at the corner of some disused farmland and waits for his passenger.

He’s in the middle of his third cigarette when he hears a ‘WOOSH’ and he sees a surge of flames erupt from a field in the distance. The bright orange blaze licking up towards the night sky, like forked tongues. He can feel the heat from here, the raw power of the fire searing through the quiet. The air is thick with smoke, it bellows across the landscape in a thick black cloud, bleeding into the heavens. The stench of kush is in the air, not the fragrant scent he’s used to smelling but something more earthy.

It's the gun shot that jerks his senses into overdrive. It’s a pop in the distance and he sees the figure clad in a black hoodie hauling ass towards the car.

Another bullet pings off the Buick and before he knows it, he’s fucking behind the wheel, turning the key and bringing the engine to life with a roar. The passenger door slams shut as you throw yourself inside, yelling for him to drive. He doesn’t need to be told twice, he shifts gear and puts his fucking foot down.

It’s a few minutes into the drive that you tear the hood from your head, and he realises that his fugitive is a woman. A fucking stunning one at that. Your hair is wild from its confinement. It falls across your features when you turn to look at him, your eyes shining bright from the light of the moon. Your cheeks are flushed with adrenaline, your lips curving up into a sinful smile as you try to catch your breath. Clasped in your hand is a silver Zippo, he watches from the corner of his eye as your thumb runs over an inscription etched upon the surface.

It takes him 120 seconds to fall in love.

It’s not the beginning of a traditional fairy-tale but it’s the beginning of his.

That night he fucks you in the back of the Buick, or rather you fuck him. He’s never been with someone so dynamic before, someone as wild and fucking untamed as he is. When you pin his hands above his head, he submits to you entirely. You could do anything you fucking wanted to him right now and he’d take it, if it meant that he could make this brief snippet of time with you last.

It blurs for him, emotions and feelings tumbling together as you sink down on his cock. There’s an intimacy in the madness that he craves, something he’s never been able to get anywhere else. Your taste like strawberries, your lips soft and tender as your tongue dips into his mouth. You mark his skin in the throes of ecstasy, biting down on the curve of his throat as your cunt squeezes him so fucking tightly, he sees stars when he comes. The intermingling of the pleasure and the pain, taps something inside of him, he lets out a fucking sob, because it feels so fucking good not to be the one in charge for once.

In the aftermath you share a blunt, one that you pull out of a silver cigarette case that matches the lighter in your pocket. He sees the emblem on the front and suddenly he understands who you are, why Riz needed someone he could trust to help you out.

The Kush Queen, they call you back at the MC.

He’s never laid eyes on you before tonight, it’s usually Riz and Creeper that take care of that side of things. He knows your semi legit, that you have one farm that you use to sell in the California and the other one on Riz’s land, that ships out of state.

He knows that you’re the proprietor of Rose Kush, he read the interview you did discussing how the ever-changing state regulations were putting a stranglehold on small farmers. People with excellent quality products, that could help folks who couldn’t afford medical expenses because the premiums were too high. He knows that you donate to the Sweetleaf Collective, to make sure patients on a lower income get the relief they need because they can’t get it anywhere else.

In the hazy afterglow you tell him why you set the fire, that Simon James, a rival of yours blinded one of your workers when he wouldn’t give up the location of your second farm, the illegal one. Angel understands that loyalty begets loyalty. It’s an eye for an eye, so to speak and you couldn’t let that piece of shit get away with hurting someone you cared about so you decided to hit him where it hurt, his bottom line.

You aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty and Angel respects that.

You tell him you fully intend to salt the fucking earth, so the bastard can never grow another crop again.

As he sits in the back of the Buick, high and fucked out, shirt hanging open over his unzipped jeans, he thinks there has to be a fucking country song about this kinda shit.

“There is.” You tell him, plucking the joint from between his fingers and taking a drag. He watches as you blow the plume out from between your lips, and he thinks it might just be the sexiest fucking thing he’s ever seen. “It’s by Miranda Lambert and it’s called the Fastest Girl in Town.”

He laughs because he’s heard that song and yea, it’s about right.

Love Angel? Don’t miss any of his stories by joining the taglist here.

[squiiids]

random assorted ToTK tips, with minimal spoilers

-you probably know that jumping into a shield surf gives you a little bit of airtime, but if your currently equipped shield has a Wing fused to it, you get way more air

-Similarly if you fuse a Sled or a mine cart to your shield, you can shield surf way smoother

-Pretty obvious that using a ruby, topaz, and sapphire on a magic rod makes it create fire, lightning, and ice balls respectively. Using a star shard creates non-damaging balls of glowing light which are great for depths exploration

-one of the best vehicles you can throw together is a sled with a fans on the back and a steering wheel up front. It works on pretty much every terrain but a drawback is it doesn't have a lot of going power, especially uphill unless you use more than two fans.

-if you're trying to takeoff using a wing vehicle, lift it up in the air then drop it, then hop on and use reversal to bring it back into the air. Start it up before cancelling the reversal, and you should have no problem going

-If you fuse a shield to a 2h weapon like a spear or greatsword, you can use it to block. No damage bonus though.

-You really can fuse anything to anything. Attach a puffshroom to a rocket to create a smoke grenade launcher. attach a buncha muddle buds to the front of a vehicle and ram into enemies to make em go nuts. Attach a ton of weapons to the back of a cart to up your weapon supply infinitely

-Getting into the depths is really easy. Getting out is a lot harder. Dragons come and go from certain holes though, and they create updrafts when you fly close enough. You could *probably* fly out of the same hole a dragon's coming out of.

-Using a large zonai charge gives you a whole extra battery pack on top of whatever it charges. Plus using large zonai charges in gacha machines gives you WAAAAY more prizes.

-You have WAAAAY more options about going up in this game. Build a big pillar and ascend through the top. Attach a balloon and flame emitter to a box you stand on. Do the hot pepper trick where they make updrafts, but with pinecones which is WAAAAAY more effective.

-Just holding a weapon with fire/ice elemental effects will balance out any adverse weather conditions. That's not just rubies and sapphires, that goes for monster parts too.

-The labyrinths are now three-part mazes that are on the ground, sky, and depths. This isn't a tip it's a warning. Good luck.

-If you beat that hidden boss that drops the weapons that depend on your hp value for the attack and deal gloom damage the more you use em, the former uses temporary hp in its damage calculation. Cook up 5 hearty durians and suddenly you have the power of god in that bow. For the latter, gloom takes out empty hearts, so if you're low on health and don't have any healing items, you've got nothing to lose by abusing gloom.

-Gerudo weapons double the damage value fused materials give them. Save your absolute best upgrades for them and you'll be walking around with swords with well over 100 attack power.

-the names of weapons can clue you in on what you can use the weapons for. sledges and hammers, for example, can break rock

Gods from the stars

The battle was almost over. It had been a long and bloody one for both sides, but Sverre and his men had been lucky. The gods had been fighting with them. They all knew the stories of old, about how the fimbulwinter had killed almost all humans after the big war last time the gods had visited, almost 7 generations ago. This time the gods didnt fight among themselfes, but with the humans, against humans, and so they probably wouldnt experience such a catastrophy again.

The stories about giant beasts, lightning killing people in the tenfolds, mighty heroes being slaughtered where they stood, made the hairs in his neck stand up, just by the thought of it. He was glad they hadn’t experienced that today. Today only men had died. Lots of them. The gods who had fought with them had made sure of that, with their mighty weapons and magical armour. No matter how good a sword the enemy had, none of them had managed to harm any of the gods.

They had arrived only 2 days earlier, a huge cart had sailed down from the sky, fire,  lighting and smoke comming from big round wheels at the back of it. It could only be one god arriving like that, Thor. He was tall with huge muscles, almost impossibly strong, with long red hair and beard, almost looking like it continued down under his armor. Such long hair was a sure sign of a mighty person.

There were other gods arriving with him too, all with impressive hair and beards. They had spoken the language of old, so they hadnt understood each other so well at first, only Thor seeming like the one that had kept up with what had been going on down at Midgard since the war. Therefor he did all the talking for the rest of the gods.

Sverre had barely belived his own eyes, being visited by the gods. He hoped he was lucky, and it was not a trick. They were to go to war in a couple days, and would need all the luck they could get. A large army had been spotted at their kingdoms northern border, the one towards Telemark. Rumours said it was the king of Hedmarka that had invaded south to expand his kingdom, and Sverre being a proud Egde, had not wanted to be ruled by a king not from Agder.

There had been sent for the leidang to gather, to meet this invading army, and when joined by the gods, the battle had easily gone in their favor. Thor had been wielding his hammer, crushing shields and men with easy. He had even sent lighting from it, flames spitting from a hole in the hammerhead, and a huge bang sounding from it. Lightning and thunder, just like the old tales had said he could do. The other gods had also used their magical wapons, Spears you could point at the enemy, and they would be ripped to pieces, didnt have to throw the spears even.

They had won the battle, but many men had died. The gods talking loudly among themselfes, almost like they had been disagreeing on even being there, In the end, Thor had told Sverre that them being here, had been frowned upon among the other gods, and they had been told to go back. Such power they had, was still to dangerious for the humans, and they would be leaving them alone until the Humans one day would come join them among the stars.

Sverre stood looking at Thors chariot take off into the sky, sparks flying everywhere from the big glowing wheels at the back, and it sounding like a thunderstorm. To travel to Åsgård to meet the gods again, was not something that would happen while he was alive.

SIGHT. small towns, big cities, six thirty curfews, lights that take the place of stars, blanket nests, light through the blinds as a wake up call, found family, finding a single star in the middle of new york city, window shopping, watching something terrible and enjoying it, wilted flowers, faded caricatures, bright, bold colors.

HEARING. crickets and lightning bugs, car engines and a.c. units, a phone call to mum/dad, laughing with friends, jokes that are so bad you have to laugh, the clicking of computer keys, noise cancelling headphones, the sound of silence, muffled music from another room, drumming fingertips on a table, clicking of pens, listening to a clock and swearing the ticks get slower, ringing in the ears, the voice of someone you love, pitch shifted songs.

TOUCH. being held close during a long night, fleeting reassurances, holding hands when you’re scared, brushing fingers through strands of hair, freshly dried clothes, bruises on your knuckles, silk and satin, your favorite pet’s fur or feather, wringing your hands anxiously, snuggles, comforters in the dead of winter, nails against skin, cold metal, leather in summer.

TASTE. coffee in the morning, tea in the evening, bubblegum that lost its flavor, alcohol burning the back of your throat, homemade cooking no matter what’s made, blood in your mouth, stale air, mint, fresh vegetables, that processed taste of citrus candy, the first meal you cook by yourself that tastes good, foreign sweets, fast food, bittersweet, sour, spicy, sweet, bitter, too much salt on fries.

because i believe in dick grayson. i believe in the boy who always stepped up when someone was in need. i believe in the man who just wants to help. without wanting to apply too much pressure, i believe you can be one of the greatest forces for good this world has ever seen. whatever you choose to do, please know i am exceedingly proud of you. proud of your heart, proud of your compassion, proud of your humor, your optimism, and your strength in the face of everything that confronts you. and, above all, though we rarely say it aloud … i am so very proud to call you my son (alfred pennyworth to dick grayson)

batman is dead. long live batman (bruce wayne)

and babs had to change most of all. there was a time when none of us could match her crime-fighting skills. she was in a class of her own. but when her legs were taken from her, she reinvented herself and ended up as an even bigger threat to the perps she used to take down with a batarang (dinah lance abt barbara gordon)

everything doesn’t have to be about fear. there’s room in our line of work for hope, too (stephanie brown)

AND OF COURSE. WHAT WAS THE REVOLUTION, SCOTT?
