HxH—"United we stand, divided we fall."

➵Summary:Killua x reader Aladdin Au

➵Warning:mention of theft

➵A/N:certainly you can Killua might be the only one I write with what you ask since it takes a while, but I might do Illumi version but as Headcanons and not full as story but anyway, if you want to read Leorio version you can find it here

You are known as quite the troublemaker around Agrabah, enough that the loyal family heard about you specifically the young prince Killua, who was curious about you I mean you seem like troubles but then again you seem like a lot of fun? Is that a word he can use? He's certainly unsure especially since he has a maniac for a mother

Killua was outside playing with Mike when suddenly his father came out with some news, some that made him be quite unhappy and even mad

"Killua"

"hm? What is it father?"

"to put it simply and fast, you will be getting engaged"

"I be what?!"

"you will be getting engaged"

"do I even get to choose who? Or most importantly aren't I too young? Why won't Illumi get engaged?!"

"You get to choose among royal people as to why, it's because I want you to be an heir, and Illumi already chose quite the odd fiancé"

"so because of that I'm next what about Milluki?"

"I don't think anybody would want to date him, willingly I mean"

"...you do have a point there, but-"

"no buts Killua, you do that whether you like it or not"

Before Killua could say something Sliva left to drink some wine with his wine

"well crap"

"now what should I do, I don't want to marry some spoiled ass brat, or one who certainly can't do anything else then lay around"

୨⎯ "With you" ⎯୧

Well fuck, you certainly a lesson for future thief to never have a monkey for a companion, you currently running from a shop seller after Abu you monkey took the sellers banana, and well you currently running as fast as you can since well you certainly don't want to be arrested maybe executed

"Abu just why did you have to take that Banana?!"

"hoo hoo hah Banana"

"...yeah you took a very nice banana but why? Also it looks like it's expired"

When you said that Abu spited the banana he had in his mouth

"Well it seems like I was correct"

You eventually lost the sales man and landed on the ground luckily not breaking your feet

"There we g- ouch!"

You bumped onto someone when you looked up it was a man that was dressed in black and red, he had a snake scepter, honestly his turban did a bad job you could see his back hair and a interesting mark on his forehead

"ah I'm so sorry I didn't mean to"

"hm I recognize you, you that thief person aren't you?"

"ahh... maybe?"

"hmmm, you know what I won't tell anybody where you are if you do something for me"

"and what would that be?"

"Just follow me"

"okayyy?"

You follow the man who during the walk introduced himself as Chrollo, eventually you got yourself to what it seems to be a cave

"mind I ask what you want me to do?"

"to put it simply to someone with your knowledge"

"hey!"

"forgive me, inside of the cave there's a golden lamp, I want you to get it for me"

"alright I suppose?"

You walked inside the cave and started looking for the said lamp until you heard a noise, Chrollo was moving a lock blocking the cave

"Hey wait!"

And he blocked it

"you have to be kidding me!"

You sat down on a pile of golden coins with Abu sitting down on your shoulder patting your head, Abu eventually noticed something and started jumping hitting you head

"Ow! Abu what do you want- oh it's a lamp, wait a lamp!"

You ran towards it almost tripping on the coins and gems, you eventually got to it

"hmm I wonder what is so special about it"

you were looking at it from different angles, eventually rubbing it until pink smoke appeared and a genie appeared

"well hello there, my name is Bisky ane and I'm a genie I will grant you 3 wishes but I can't kill anyone, can't make people fall in love and can't bring anyone back from the dead."

"you have quite a loud voice"

"you little! Ehh anyway do you have a first wish?"

"uhh wait what's your name"

"My name is [Y/N] and I wish to get out of here with Abu, my monkey"

"ahh okay then, you wish is my command"

And boom you outside with Bisky floating around you

"alright got the second wish?"

"not yet, you seem to really want me to make them fast"

"yes, that's because after that I'm going on vacation"

"that sounds nice, anyway I'm going to go and continue what I used to do"

"ah is that so, don't forget the lamp"

"I won't"

You returned back home and before anything someone ran into you

"Sorry I didn't mean to"

"it's al- wait aren't you the prince"

"...am I that recognizable?"

"who else has white hair here except you and your father?!"

"you have a good point, anyway could you hide me please?"

"ah sure? Uhh come fast"

Killua followed you and slowly he started to realize, you are the thief he heard about so much, honestly you looked cuter in person, after a few minutes you both alived at your house

"this day seems to be after me"

"hm? What do you mean"

"ah nothing much, anyway what going on?"

"my parents want me to find a fiancé"

"...wait aren't you still a kid"

"Royalty stuff plus they want me to be the heir"

"ah, alright then"

"and you ran off because you don't want that?"

"Yeah I did"

"trust me you won't be able to hide here for too long"

"you think I don't know that?"

"how am I supposed to know, trust me I know barely anything outside of stealing"

"You don't!?"

"no?! Fun fact you highness, our knowledge is far lower then yours"

"Alright let's stop yelling"

"I agree"

"so what am I supposed to do?"

"go back"

"what?! You nuts?!"

"no I'm not, think about it maybe just maybe one of those people will be nice just go back and see"

"ugh, alright I guess"

"great"

After that Killua left and returned, honestly he probably already chose his fiancé sadly the said person isn't a royalty, and as to you, you absolutely regret letting him go oh I think I forgot to mention you LOVED the prince dearly

"well that's interesting"

"holy shit! You scared me"

"sorry, I'm quite curious who's that?"

"Prince Killua he's one of the royalty, and may I say he's"

"cool?"

"amazing! He got those blue eyes and adorable smile, and his white hair"

"well sorry to say one of my rules said I can't make anybody fall in love with you"

"true... Wait but there is something else"

"hm? What would it be"

"Bisky right? I wish to become royalty"

"...oh you are quite sly, but anyway you wish is my command"

And it happened you got quite fancy clothing very fit for royalty and Bisky also changed into what it seems her human clothes with clothes you would assume would be for right hand woman or man

"well let's let Agrabah know about the arrival of the princess/prince Sanad"

"yeah let's do that"

୨⎯ "With Killua"⎯୧

I was sitting on a podium with my family, according to them few royalty were going to show up and have a little parade to introduce themselves, I was getting bored until the arrival of a parade full of elephants and a song sung by a girl that looked my age, on a top was a person whp according to the girl it was princess/prince Sanad

Prince Ali Song-by Will Smith

After the parade, I could talk to one of the royalty and was surprising to few people that I chose Sanad, while talking they told me to go out into my balcony at exactly midnight

୨⎯ "Midnight"⎯୧

Just as princesses/prince Sanad said I went outside and saw them but on a flying carpet?! They held their hand out and helped me get into the carpet, and it went flying around Agrabah

A Whole New World-Song by Zayn and Zhavia Ward

After that we arrived back onto my balcony and I couldn't help but laugh, after that they looked a bit upset while thinking before dropping a bomb on me

"I'm not actually royalty nor is my name Sanad"

"Wait then who are you?"

"[Y/N] the thief"

"that's even better!"

"Huh?!"

"it's quite odd to say for royalty like me, but I liked you as a thief now I find out the person I l also started liking is the same person"

"that made no sense"

"I know now shush, now [Y/N] will you do me the honour and let me become you fiancé?"

"wait that about your parents"

"don't worry about them I'll deal with them"

And Killua did as he said he begged his parents to let you become his fiancé and they said yes, after that you had your last wish for Bisky to become a full human and it was granted but not before one little part of Chrollo being banished, why? Well during your fun with Killua he tried to encourage Killua parents to let him become a king but well that didn't work, and you finally lived happily ever after with Killua as your fiancé.

 “So we're dead? Like Dead, dead?” He asked in disbelief.

 “Yup!” The demon next to him responded. 

“And you want us to take care of a bunch of people for the rest of eternity?”

 I asked cautiously.

 “Yes.” The Angel beside me responded with a shrug. 

The two recently deceased Charges share a look.

 “Gods, if I had known that the afterlife was this dumb, I would have fought harder for my life.” 

 “Same.” 

 “We know.” The Angel and Demon responded in unison.

Back to the h e l l of waiting for s3

But ah-- yes I see it. Ao3. In the distance.... offering a place to write an AUfic......

[negative-total-drama-takes]

https://www.tumblr.com/negative-total-drama-takes/757285846610214912/sometimes-i-really-really-wanna-post-my-aufics

Not a negative take, but I recommend not worrying about "the fandom". If you create fanworks for your AU on Tumblr/AO3/Tiktok/whatever, people will either not care for it or will be interested. Your AU will likely cultivate a fanbase of some sort if you want it to and make fanworks for it consistently. If someone does have some sort of issue with your AU and are harassing you personally, block them. If there are big name Total Drama fans that are harassers/you are scared of, don't bother trying to please them. Block them in advance if it'll make you more comfortable on Tumblr and confident in posting work you've put time into.

I've been able to create TD AUs of all types on AO3 without any issue and I wouldn't worry about "the fandom" like it's some nebulous governing body.

I have seen people get harassed on AO3 for their stories before, I won’t name any names for obv reasons but for example I’ve seen people make stories for stuff like a future AU of their fankids and commenters yelling at them that they should have made different ships canon in the story. I do think this fandom is generally a lot more chill when it comes to hcs then most others but still some people just have nothing better to do than be jerks to others for harmless hcs

My Next Writing Projects

Untitled Casval x Garma College AUFic: I'm thinking of continuing a tradition for Gundam watchers and writing a yaoi Gundam 0079 Collegefic from the viewpoint of Garma, who is deeply in love with his longtime best friend Casval, but has absolutely no idea how to express it due to their shared conservative upbringing. Amuro is involved, most are gamers, (Still very much in the planning stages but I have a decent amount of planning done)

Fair Trade: Classic fae trickery story in the modern world, potentially surreal but only in an unintentional sense. (Currently writing)

Packages: Soft slice of life story about a house's previous tenant, and what she still gets in the mail. (Currently writing)

Untitled Covid Zombie Story: Not Covid Zombie as in, the zombies caught covid or became zombies through Covid. But the Zombie pandemic used as an allegory for our handling of the Covid Pandemic, and how it feels to be dragged into rejoining a society that has collectively agreed that letting some people become zombies is just an acceptable risk of life continuing on as it always has, after spending a literal year or two in near complete self isolation and the constant fear of losing loved ones. (Still in the planning stages, might be longer than the others)

If someone is looking for a Harry Potter AUfic where Sirius saves Harry from the Durlsey as a young kid you have to check out MarauderLover7's Innocent Series on ao3 It is absolutely fantastic. I just read through the whole thing until the current chapter on the 5th story in the series. It is truly phenomenal writing.

Dean Winchester Master list

Main Master list

Dean had been spending the past weeks texting back and forth with Y/n. Since everything was getting worse between Sam and Lucifer. Dean becomes more and more overprotective with his brother. It was all starting to roll into one.

It's snowballing and it's becoming too much for me to handle. What would you do if you knew you were going to lose your brother to a literal comic begin and there's not a way to stop it?

I toggled with the idea for a few days. Do I message her? Do I call her? Do I just show up at her house? No that sounds creepy. The latter of these many choices would just cause her panic.

What am I doing? All of the sudden now I care, well I've always cared but this is taking it overboard. She's been a hunter all of her life. She knows what comes with being one. The always being in a panic, on the run, and in a near-death situation. I can understand why she got out when she could.

> Hey it's me, Dean.

> Dean how are you?

> I've been doing just fine. I heard that you got out.

Oh, this is going odd. This is odd maybe I should go to see her. This is weird. I don't know how to do this. All my swagger and charm is kind of going out the window. I wonder how she looks, I wonder if she still smells like roses and the summertime?

Jesus Dean, get a hold of yourself.

> Yeah, this was just becoming too much. I can't stand so many people dying around me.

>Well I get that.

>Do you want to meet for coffee?

There was a long moment where all I saw was the three dots bouncing at the bottom of my screen. Then they disappeared. "or not," I said out loud, this has to be the most frustrating thing I've done in a long time.

Why would you even want to talk over a text message? You've got no clue if that other person is number one even reading your message, and number two, the stupid three dots are fucking annoying.

And then boom there was Y/n's message. A sound of a ping drawing my attention back to the screen.

> Yeah, we can meet. When do you want to meet? Where? I know this really cute quiet place on broadway street, it may be a bit of a drive, but they've got pie, so knowing you you'll be there before I even wake up. LOL.

Oh no wonder the dots were bouncing at the bottom of my screen, because she was writing a paragraph. Oh pie, I hope they have good coffee.

>Broadway street where?

I asked, it doesn't matter about the drive, just would you know like to know where I'm going.

>Broadway street in Tennessee. I know that probably far from where you are. Sam said that you had a case.

I thought for a moment, if I got on the move now, I could get there to Tennessee by the morning. Sam and her talk... That does.. that t doesn't matter.

>Sure I could be they by say tomorrow morning.

>If that's alright with you Y/n.

What are you doing Dean? You don't need a normal life, after after Sam goes. You can just hunt, work under bobby's help with wrecked and old cars because I'm sorry I don't want to ever be stuck driving a shitty old van again.

>Yeah that sounds like a plan I'll send the direction to the coffee shop later, also a motel from the yellow pages.... Or you could you know just stay with me. I wouldn't mind the company.

She wouldn't mind the company. I'm good company to her. Wow. Again there's that special feeling again. That odd butterflies in my stomach type of feeling.

What is going on?

>okay, see you then.

That was all I could say, I think if I had said anything else I either might have exploded or been embarrassed.

Thank god that hunt was rather quick, easy enough to do on my own. Sam messaged me asking me if I had bothered Y/n about going out for coffee. Dude, get off my back about it, like really.

The drive that night was smooth, I had my music loud. It boomed as I drove down the road. I watched the sunset in whatever state I had been in. I watched the stars start to play against the night sky, and then there was the hot morning sun, the highway becoming crowded by morning traffic.

By the time I had gotten into town, it was busy. I ended up just rolling up to the coffee job since Y/n had messaged me saying that she had gotten there early and even got up a booth instead of those uncomfy tables.

I parked locking the doors. Not really liking to leave my doors unlocked seeing as lots of people just want to take my baby. I walked in to see a bustling coffee shop, but out of all the people in the shop, I could see Y/ns figure.

She was wearing a red summer dress. It was so bold compared to all the identical suits and grays in there. She waved me over, seeing her hair bounce as she moved her shoulders.

"Looking pretty good Dean." She said as I sat down across from in the booth. "I could say the same for you, Y/n," I said smiling. Jeez, this is the first time I'd smiled for a long time. She was making me smile and I'd only been here for a few seconds.

'I just got you your normal, black with sugar coffee.: She said pushing the still-warm cup in my direction. She remembers my coffee order, what am I in right now? A romantic novel, a cheesy rom-com of a movie.

"So how was the drive? I bet the highway was crowded. She said giggling a little. "The traffic was worse the closer I got into town," I said before taking the first long sip of my warm coffee, shit this I good. I must have hummed or let a moan of satisfaction because /n looked up at me and smiled.

"That good Winchester." She said.

"Here's your apple, and cherry pie. ma'am. Have a good day." A young man said before walking away. "You didn't," I said looking at her over the brim of my coffee cup. "I did, it's my treat for you driving out for so long." She said pushing the apple pie in my direction.

Now I'd like to think of myself as the pie expert. "I know that you've had pie from literally everywhere, but I'd like to think that this place has the best pies." She said taking a sip of her coffee.

This is where the awkward moment came in hand. The silence between us was thick, I hadn't seen Y/n in what felt like a decade, but in reality, it had only been five years tops.

Y/n had changed so much, in the best ways I think. Five years ago, she would have been grumpy and pissed that we were just sitting down and having a normal interaction. Y/n I think all those years ago craved the adventure of the hunt, the chase in a way.

Five years ago, Y/n facial features were hard, and sharp from being in the game for so long. It was hard and mostly sharp for the fact that she was constantly trying not to lose people.

This Y/n that sat in front of me. She smiled, no forced happy moments. She laughed like she meant it. She was beautiful, and she knew it. She had changed into a soft, compassionate person. She was the brightest person in this entire coffee shop.

She shined so brightly, she looked healthy, looked like he was finally on the right track. I know according to Sam her partner had been killed during a hunt from what I can remember.

To be honest I wasn't really paying attention when he was talking. Maybe that was because I had all my focus on Y/n, my thoughts sort of clouded by her imagines of her, that peachy, rose-like amora she just had around her.

"So Dean.. How's life been?" Oh, thank the gods that she was also feeling this awkward sensation I was feeling. I pilled the rest of the apple pie into my mouth and fore swallowed before talking.

"Lifes been... hell. I'm gonna be honest with you. Dad died a few years ago. And now there's a bunch of shit I went to hell for Sammy y'know, and now Sam has started the apocalypse and he's going to be by possessed by Lucifer, yeah I know, he goes to hell to save the world." I said catching my breath, not that I had noticed that I had lost it.

Y/n just was fixated on me. As if she had been turned into a wax statue. She soon was broken out of her gaze on me and licked her lips. "So what I've been through doesn't even start to touch what the two of you Winchester boys have been going through." A little confusion rose in me.

What had Y/n been going through? I wonder if it was just as bad as we had been going through. I wanna know now. I wonder if that makes me creepy or nosy in her eyes.

"What's been going on with you?" I questioned, treading light on this conversation for the simple fact that I had no clue what I was getting myself into, and I didn't really want to upset her.

"So, I bet that you heard that I lost my last partner on my last hunt, now yes that was months ago, but what nobody know is..." There was a pregnant pause I could see just a little that she was trying to get a hold of her breathing. Her pampered faced was starting to get redder by the moment. I sat waiting, then spoke.

"Y/n you don't have to explain it to me," I said reaching over the gray booth table and grabbing her hand, clammy but it didn't bother me. She squeezed my hand, I just sat like this waiting again for her to start again.

"My last partner, it was my mom." She squeaked out trying her best to stop the tears. "You know you can cry right?" I asked her she started to sob, a few people looked over at me. I guess they had thought I broke up with her. "And just me say this if anybody right now says anything I promise you they'll get a good one-two to the face."

I had made her laugh because she hiccuped as the sobs started to end. I reached over and wiped a few tears that had unfortunately fallen down her cheeks.

Let me say this Y/n hand was soft in comparison to my callused rough, and dirty hands. What I wasn't ready for was how soft, and plump like her cheek was when I swiped her tears away. She was still holding my hand, still squeezing I could feel my mother's ring digging into my finger, but it wasn't something that I was worried about.

Y/n hiccuped and began to talk again. "then there's of course the douchebag guy I started dating. I felt like a damsel in distress, I thought he was my knight in shining armor. That was a lie though." She said, looking down at our hands clasped together, a saw the smallest of smiles cross her still red face.

"If I didn't know that monsters existed I'd say that dating the douchebag Devin was a monster enough. God, he played so nice, he played like my knight in shining armor. He wasn't a hunter." She stated, giving me only more information, for some reason I very much wanted to find this Devin guy and bash his face into the hot cement ground. I hummed and Y/n continued.

"You know, I thought I was safe, but I wasn't. That man was bad. Bad like..." She looked off at the front door of the coffee shop. The number of people slowly becoming less and less by the minute.

"He was abusive Dean, He took what he wanted, and I thought I deserved it. I thought that I had to live that life. Dean, you know me? Tell me why I would put myself at such a low level like Dean, Please." She was pleading with me to have the answer.

She had just a lot of things out, her mother passing away most likely in front of her, then this Devin guy. How do you have the balls to be abusive to anyone, especially Y/n she's nothing but compassion and love. I don't understand it.

"Y/n sweetheart, You thought something. You sadly got manipulated. You were made to believe that you deserved that sort of treatment. Please I'm telling you this right now. Y/n look at me, please. You deserve the best out of life, especially now." I said moving my thumb gently over her smaller hand.

"Y/n, please tell me you know that?" I asked questioning her. She hummed. She looked down at our hands, again smiling. "I missed talking with you, Dean." She whispered. I picked up my coffee cup and released Y/ns hand, she looked up at me.

"Come on, direct me to your humble abode. I think we should sit down watch a movie." I say reaching my unused hand out for Y/n to grab a hold of my hand. I pulled her up she grabbed her belongings and walked hand in hand with me to my impala.

"Your car over here?" I asked. She shook her head, 'no', "I live about a five-minute walk from here, so my cars at home." She said as I opened the passenger side door. I hummed and walked over getting into the driver's seat.

➵Warning:mention of stealing and death

➵A/N:An Aladdin au, the idea isn't mine it was a request sended through private message, just incase I won't tag the person if they reveal themselves then they will, anyway enjoy

You and Leorio have known each other since forever, whenever someone asked you for your best childhood memory Leorio was always there, even though you both were poor you always tried to learn money fairly you didn't want to steal anything and sell it for money it was cruel in your opinion, and Leorio hated the idea too especially since the reason you both were really close is because his mother died of a sickness and his father lost everything when a thief broke in, and eventually for that reason he and his father went bankrupt and your parents took them in, with that said you always tried to make Leorio happy playing with him or giving him some education you were aware of for example in medicine or stuff like that, which was very helpful especially since getting injured in Agrabah wasn't that hard and knowing how to bandage injuries was a very important knowledge especially around an area where theft is popular, but even then you family eventually suffered through theft and became street rates but even then Leorio and his father didn't leave you and your family to rot and tried to help, both you and Leorio started walking around offering knowledge to people so you can get some money at least for some fruits.

Eventually for mysterious reasons you and Leorio were separated, nobody knows why or when but both Leorio and his father suddenly disappeared, and you would be a liar if you said you're not disappointed, but if something happened and they had to leave you couldn't be mad really

୨⎯ "Years later" ⎯୧

You were officially an adult and because of that you started working, as an assistant to a food seller he paid you decently,but in reality the only reason you agreed to that job was because you wanted to open a public library so everyone could learn and get a bigger knowledge, you even offered some kids to help them learn some stuff, but during a random day you learned that some prince was coming to Agrabah, you weren't that surprised I mean you heard that the princess is looking for a suttor or more of her father is, so a prince coming to Agrabah wasn't a huge surprise for you, while working you heard that the prince was Amir, you honestly were curious why people were talking about him so much and not about others?

"Excuse me, but I heard you talking about prince Amir and I wanted to know more about him and why are people talking about him?"

"oh you didn't hear?"

"hear what?"

"Prince Amir supposing isn't here for the princess but for a normal citizen"

"is that so? But why?"

"it's only a rumor but someone said that he heard that someone wants to open a public library"

"and what's with that?"

"nobody really knows, and nobody knows that person too"

"ah I see well thanks for answering goodbye"

How the heck does that prince know about that?! Nobody knows about it except you and your parents! Leorio didn't even know, now that you think about it what happened to Leorio makes you worry it's been a few years,there's no way that he is...dead is there? No he can't be you sure of it!

You were about to walk away before you heard a boyish boy voice screaming you turned around and were surprised by a parade, on it you saw two boys wearing outfits you think a genie would wear if it was real, one had black hair with green tips and hazel brown eyes he has his hair down and his outfit colour theme was green,gold and black as for the other one he had white spiky hair and blue eyes he had a similar outfit to the first except his outfit colour scheme was blue,sliver and white, the more you looked at them you sure there are around 12-14 who hired little kids?

Before you could question it every more the black haired boy spoke

"Hello people of Agrabah, today me and my co-worker would like to introduce you to the one and only magnificent prince Amir!"

You were planning to leave not wanting to get yourself into that parade stuff, but before you turn around you saw a guy around your age who was wearing a white prince like attire and was wearing a turban on his head with purple gems on it and genuinely had a purple-white theme, was that prince Amir? Honestly he looked idiotic but then again who are you to speak? Your job will start soon so it's better you leave before your boss fires you, honestly you boss is an asshole with half of the things you do but what can you do life isn't that easy honestly it's shitty.

Well that doesn't matter, you should start heading back to work if you won't your goal will go even further away than it already is,when you finally arrived it only was a few hours before you saw the prince again with his little helpers, the green one looked happy and exited while the other one looked like he didn't want to be there which you honestly understood working for spoiled people might not be the greatest, you only worked with one and that was the king honestly you wouldn't be surprised if his daughter wanted him dead, then the green boy came running towards you with the other one trying to stop him

"excuse me, how much do those fruits cost?"

"hm? Oh they cost 5$"

"only 5$? Well then I would like to get 4 of those"

"alright that be 20$"

The boy paid you with the correct amount and took the fruits before giving one to you

"huh? Why are you giving one to me?"

" you look hungry so I want you to eat something, plus it's so warm out you probably thirsty too"

"ah it's not that big of a de-"

"Killua go get them some water"

"yes you highness"

"heh?! There's no need, yes I'm thirsty and all that but you don't need to spend your money on me"

"it's fine really, plus working while being thirsty isn't a good idea"

"true, I guess"

"ah by the way, by any chance do you know someone who wants to open a public library here?"

"a public library...uh no I don't"

"are you sure you seem sweaty?"

"it's very hot out, that's why"

"you sure? I'm not th-"

"I'm back with the water"

"ah that's great, here drink some"

"thank you truly, actually a question why are you looking for that person?"

"that would be because our princely is interested in them"

"Killua shut it"

"am I wrong?"

"not really, it's just I'm looking for someone else and I'm sure they are the same person"

"hm? And who would that person be? Maybe I know them"

"uh well"

"by any chance do you know someone by the name of [Y/N] [L/N]?"

"hm? Is that the person you are looking for?"

"no just a name I heard somewhere, and I want to see how this person looks"

"ah well that would be me"

Without your knowledge the so-called prince Amir blushed a little, looking at the beauty before him that being you, honestly he felt bad knowing he's lying to you about his identity he's quite literally committing a crime something you hated back then, and probably still do but Leorio didn't want to disappoint you especially since he's about to commit another crime for you

Before he could say something Gon signed Killua to start moving,and Gon waved you goodbye, well those 3 were odd...and that's exactly why you think royalty is stupid...most of the time at least when you meet the princess she wasn't that bad but HER servant holy shit that woman scared you how does princess Bisky deal with Palm as her servant or you should say right hand woman, if you were princess Bisky you would probably run off too, wait why did you say run off too... Oh shit was that princess Bisky running a few minutes ago away from the guards?! Well honestly that is not a surprise for you drama always happens in the streets literally but now you do wonder what was prince Amir planning He acted a bit odd? You don't know why but his behaviour seems off, almost as if he's hiding something from everyone except his servants, but if you are correct what is he planning? Is he planning to help the public library to be open? Or to get married to princess Bisky? Or maybe he's here to conquer Agrabah? Wait why are you imagining scenarios like this? Why do you even care about what prince Amir wants, honestly if he did want to conquer Agrabah you should warn everyone if that will indeed happen...wait but how are you sure it's that? Hmmm I mean you could spy on him but then again that white haired boy has a bad vibe he probably will kill you if you dare to spy on prince Amir, plus you can't really do that if you have work, you truly want the community to have a public library if you won't work hard it will never happen, you doing this for the community and the children so they won't have to worry about being tricked by someone with higher knowledge.

୨⎯ "With Prince Amir/Leorio" ⎯୧

"What was that?!"

"what? I only helped you find her and I did didn't I?"

"yes but still she could have found you suspicious"

"so that person is your childhood friend?"

"yes they are"

"and also the one who wants to open the public library?"

"most likely yes"

"well that's certainly a mess, firstly you wanted to marry princess Bisky for money but now you want to pretend that you want to marry her to steal from her and help your friend"

"you have been stuck in that lamp for more then 1000 years, you don't know much about the life outside of it"

"...he has a good point Killua"

"I guess he does, anyway how are we going to go about that?"

"what do you mean by that?"

"I mean half of Agrabah heard that you are here for the mysterious person who wants to open a public library, if you suddenly be like oh yeah I'm here to marry princess Bisky people are going to suspect you"

"it will work out somehow"

"you seem to be quite interested in them aren't you Leorio?"

"of course I am, after all they are smart and fun and-"

"pretty?"

"beautiful/handsome, they got these eyes that just- and this hair and their smile"

"well seems like someone is hooked in love"

"maybe I am, who knows"

"well then it seems like we should put your plan into work, I heard princess Bisky ran off so you should find her and try to be-friend her"

"not court her?"

"probably not after all our princely currently is crushing on his childhood friend"

" oh yeah you're right, so befriending would be the better option"

"so let's get this all planned already, Leorio you will be-friend princess Bisky she has to trust you enough to invite you into the place and tell you where she keeps the money when you find out where you will have to tell us so we can take them and keep them safe, what's also important is you can't act like you have feelings for her"

"that's a great plan but how am I supposed to be-friend her?"

"how about, find out where she is bump into her 'accidentally' and promise her you won't tell anybody where she is, she's out to trust you after that"

Gon wasn't wrong if Leorio did show Bisky he's not her enemy and that he doesn't mind that she ran off for freedom she will definitely respect him, but there comes a little situation and that would be you, Leorio knows you are not that big of an idiot so you will definitely catch him, so he would need to have you trust him as prince Amir either that or tell you the true and obviously he will chose for you to trust prince Amir, after all he quite literally went missing and you probably mad at him I mean who wouldn't especially if you knew the reason, currently what the most important is befriending princess Bisky

After a few minutes of planning Leorio went where he heard princess Bisky was last seen, surprise surprise it was not so far from where you were before he could go further he heard yelling

"get back here thief!"

When Leorio looked it was you running towards someone running away with a bag full of fruits, and well the man didn't look and ran to Leorio and bumped into him, before Leorio could react he saw you grab the man by his collar and pulled him towards the stall forcing him to put the fruits back and then gave him a glare to leave if he knew what is good for him, when you finally calmed down you walked up to Leorio and helped him up

"I'm truly sorry your highness, I didn't mean for that to happen"

"it's alright really"

"ah I should get going if you are searching for the princess she's up there in that tower"

"Wait why did you tell me where she is?"

"it's only fair I do as an apology"

"ah then thank you very much, have a nice day"

Leorio left and started walking towards the tower, he couldn't help but smile at your kindness, holy crap how much he loves you

Eventually he arrived at the tower and saw princess Bisky smiling ear to ear

"so it's you who's planning to steal my money huh?"

"wha- what do you mean princess"

"I mean what I said, you like that person down there and you also know about her dream"

"...how did you?"

"I have eyes everywhere, what's most important is I gladly help you out only if"

"if?"

"you find me a replacement for a husband because the one my father wants me to marry is a psychopath"

"how am I supposed to do that?"

"Those genies of yours, ask them for help"

"wait how di- oh right I almost forgot"

"...but sure I do it"

"great anyway I go and convince my father to send your friend some money, if I'm being truthful you should tell her the truth"

Bisky ran off towards the palace happy about the fact she just created a new couple, and just how Bisky recommended Leorio started walking towards you scared to reveal the truth

"oh prince Amir is th-"

"I'm not prince Amir"

"huh?"

"guess you don't recognise me?"

Leorio then took off his turban and put on his glasses

"Leorio..."

"been a while haven't it"

Before Leorio could say anything you hugged him

"for god sake where have you been! I been so damn worried everyone was worried you just suddenly went poof and-"

"Alright Alright calm down take a deep breath,I will explain everything"

When you calmed down Leorio explained to you how some king forced him to look for a lamp with two genies but Leorio didn't find it and was locked in a cave, but luckily food was there and drinks too at this point he also mentions how the king did the same to his father and years later he found it and made 2 wishes 1.to leave the cave 2.to become a prince and that he has one last wish left and he also mentioned the plan he had before, which caused you to hit him in the head(or face) but after getting hit Leorio just promised to never try to commit a crime if he will you have the full permission to hit him as hard as you can.

After that Leorio called Killua and Gon that were his genies and asked them for help with the Bisky situation, eventually they found a perfect person and matched them with Leorio wishing for those two to become humans, with the help of Bisky you opened a public library where you and Leorio worked with Princess Bisky support, and with the permission of Killua and Gon you adopted them both and eventually got married, and lived you happily ever after

Excerpt from: Born from Winter Ash (Chapter 2.)

Sakura located the window, her fingers trembling as she reached for the latches and cast a quick glance over her shoulder. She was still alone. Her breath fogged the windowpane as the latches clicked to unlock. She gripped the sill, her nails splintering the frail wood as she heaved the window just an inch –

In a single swift blow, Sakura felt the full weight of her body flatten against the glass. Her cheekbone smacked the pane so hard that the glass fractured beneath her skin. It sounded like ice cracking, the echo loud in her ear. The warrior’s hand was in her hair, firmly holding her skull against the window. His other hand gripped her injured shoulder, thumb digging into the inflamed joint as his body pinned her in place. With an expert twist of his hand, Sakura’s whole body was wrenched back from the window, her skull locked within the deadly strength of his palm.

“How far do you think you would get?” His practiced voice was in her ear. She felt his breath, warm against her neck as he spoke.

23. “You left me with no one, sorry doesn’t change that." Jamos

The sounds reach him first. The consistent beeping. Muffled voices. He knows this sound. He knows it intimately. But he can’t place it. The second thing he notices is that he’s uncomfortable. Deeply so. His arm aches. His head too. But he isn’t sure why. Or where he is. But he does, right? He knows this. He blinks his eyes open. It takes a few tries to keep them open, to clear his vision. Even then, he can’t see.

No glasses then. But he doesn’t need them to see where he is. He’s been here before.

He’s in a hospital bed. In a hospital. How did he get here? He’d been pacing, practicing a lecture... and then nothing. Something creaks beside him.

“You awake for real this time?”

Amos.

Holden turns his head, fixes his eyes on the big man in the uncomfortable hospital chair. He’s blurred, but Holden would know him anywhere. He could find him in a crowd without his glasses. 

“What happened,” he croaks, coughing as the last syllable ends. Amos is beside him in a heartbeat, a glass and a straw with it. Holden is grateful for the drink, the cool water soothing his dry throat. He’s more grateful for the sharper view of his boyfriend, the proximity a comfort anyone else could barely fathom. A comfort that slowly fades when the look on Amos’ face comes into focus. The tension, the anger there... anyone else might miss it. But not Holden. The comfort morphed into anxiety. “Amos—”

Amos ignores him. “You passed out.” He sets the glass on the little table, beside items Holden can only just identify as a couple of cards, a book, and his missing glasses. “Hit your head on the way down. Doc said a few of your levels were... elevated, lowered. I couldn’t keep it all straight.”

“Amos, I—”

“See, I thought that was strange, given when I asked if you were really okay, you said yes. I told the doc that you had said that, when he asked me. And that didn’t track with what he observed. So you lied.”

Holden swallows. “I’m sorry, I just didn’t want you to worry, and—”

Amos smacks a hand down on the plastic rail of the bed, loud enough to startle Holden, to make his heart rate monitor beep with a little more urgency. But not enough to call any nurse’s attention to the conversation going on in the room. 

“You were lying on the floor, white as a sheet, bleeding everywhere. When I saw you... Jesus, Jim. I thought you were dead. That I was too late to get to you.”

Holden almost can’t bring himself to meet Amos’ gaze, but he does. It’s less anger now. It’s concern. Or what concern Amos can show. Holden sees it. That’s enough.

“You could have left me with no one,” Amos states, casual tone still carrying over from everything else he’d said so far, not at all matching the topic, but that’s Amos. “Sorry doesn’t change that, Jim.”

Guilt gnaws at his stomach. He nearly apologizes again. If not for the look on Amos’ face. An almost unreadable mix of worried, angry, scared. Holden swallows again. He did this. Words can’t undo it at all. So he blinks away the itch in his eyes and nods. 

“I know. I know.”

Amos’ eyes search his face. It’s a long, tense moment. One in which Holden worries Amos might say more. Might end things. He knows what Amos has been through, how he feels about Holden’s health and any kind of downplaying he makes about it. He should have been honest. Should have been. Amos must see that recognition in him, for he nods too. Smooths a hand over his hair.

“You’re staying here until the docs clear you, understood?”

“Yes.” 

Amos pulls away, and Holden feels the loss of his warmth deep in his chest. Until he comes back to slide Holden’s glasses onto his face. Everything comes into focus, but he waits to look at Amos. Too scared to find what he’ll see there.

“When we get home, you rest. Practice from a couch or a bed or something. Not near table corners. And you tell me if you’re having a bad day. Hear me?”

Holden nods. “I do.”

Holden takes a deep breath, looks right at Amos’ face. It’s relaxed, eyes trained on him for any sign of weakness. Not for hunting or hurting, but for helping. For care. With another nod, he leans in to press a kiss to Holden’s head, right near where the pain radiates from.

“I’m sorry,” Holden whispers.

Amos sighs. “I know.”

“I love you.”

A pause. Another sigh, but different. More a laugh. “I know.”

And with that, Amos pulls the chair closer, takes the cards off the table, and settles in to read them to Holden. He’ll accept the well-earned guilt trip. As long as Amos keeps reading to him, talking to him, he’ll take it. It means Amos is there. That’s all Holden wants. The only thing in focus, even in the chaos of the hospital. The only thing he knows. 

Hell. If he’s lucky, Amos will let him practice his lecture on him. Maybe. Once they get home.

Speeches and Swing

Major Bucky feels! Sorry, this one is so long!

So, we’re pretending the ending of Infinity War never happened. This means that Thanos was defeated and everyone is safe and alive, so Endgame never needed to happen. 

Paring- AU Bucky/ Female reader 

Warnings- Smoking, language!

Word Count- 1655

The cool wind left patterns of raised bumps on my arms and tickled the back of my throat as I took a deep inhale. It was an unusually cold breeze for July, but it was a welcome chill. The band’s shrill trumpet lofted through the sky, loud enough to be heard from the ground level. I turned around, watching everyone dance to the Glenn Miller song and smiled as I saw Steve emerge from the floor in his Army uniform. He looked around, eyes hoping to find something worthwhile to drag him away. He glanced at me and I saw him relax as he headed for the balcony.

“Hello, Captain. Happy birthday/ retirement” He smiled and tipped his cap. 

“I’m glad you could make it Y/N. It’s been too long.” I nodded in agreement and lit a cigarette.

“So, how is it being the only 102-year-old in the workforce?” I mused as I took a deep inhale. 

He glanced down and I could tell I hit a nerve. “I’m sorry Steve, I didn’t mean-”

“You didn’t do anything,” he cut me off and held up a hand to stop me, “It’s just... This.” He finally managed to get out. “It just all feels so real, part of me thinks I’m going to look up and see the old me, or Buck with both flesh arms. Every brunette I see I immediately register as Peggy.” His words fell off, ending quite and hopeless. “Tony outdid himself, this is so close to how the 40′s were. It feels too much like home, y’know?” 

He looked up at me, searching for understanding and I nodded. “Steve, I can’t really say I know, but I do know how it feels to be constantly reminded of the past."

"Steve!" We both looked up and a tall, brown-haired man waving from inside. "Sam and I are ready to make our toasts!" He shouted over the music. 

Steve looked back at me and motioned with his head indoors. He held out his elbow for me. "Ever the gentleman, Steve." I chuckled. We walked over to the famous Bucky Barnes. He turned around when we reached him and we walked in.

"There he is!" Sam smiled and motioned to Steve.

Steve unhooked our arms and leaned down to my ear "I'll catch up with you later." I smiled at him and waved him off, finding a spot near the front of the stage. 

The lights dimmed and a spotlight went up, shining on Sam. “Steve...”

I felt eyes on me and I turned around the find the brunet man, Bucky, staring. He gave a smile and took a sip from his flute, not breaking eye contact. I looked him up and down, trying to get a read, but I saw nothing beyond the small scars peeking out from under his old uniform. He was eyeing me just the same, reading me, albeit probably better than I was reading him. Right as I began to move towards him, he started towards me and smirked, realizing we were thinking the same thing. I turned to say hello to him and he brushed passed me and headed for the stage. He kept that same smirk all the way up the small stairs and his eyes landed on me with a wink. 

“102, can you imagine what the commandos would have to say about that?” He let out a laugh, but I could tell he didn’t quite mean it as a joke.

“They’d probably tease me about you still being sewed to my hip.” Steve cracked. They both smiled each other, and everyone else in the room buzzed with laughter. 

“Steve. I first met you on the schoolyard in 1925. We were in first grade and you had managed to insult some of the other boys. Now, my father always taught me to stand up for myself and those who needed it. So I walked over to where you were getting taunted and punched Joseph Marshall square in the nose,” everyone let out a chuckle as Bucky recomposed himself “Little did I know I was signing on for a lifetime job of punching people square in the face for you. It is now 2019, and I have punched for you in every alleyway New York has to offer and in almost every country the world has to offer. I told you once that I was following that little guy from Brooklyn. I’ll always follow that little guy from Brooklyn. Frankly, I can’t imagine how my life would have gone had I not become your bodyguard at 7 years old, but I know it would’ve been a lot less action-packed. That being said, at 102, I’m glad you’re hanging up the suit because honestly, pal, my knuckles are ready for a break and I’m tired of following you to enemies. After 90 somethin’ years, I’m ready to follow you to peace. Happy Birthday Stevie, may this year be your 1946 after all this time.” Bucky raised his glass and the room followed. “To Steve!” 

Everyone cheered and the lights returned as Bucky walked off stage and the band filed back out. 

I walked around the room, mingling but still eyeing and feeling eyed by Bucky. We danced in circles, always avoiding, seeing who would break first, planning how it would go. 

“Y/N? Holy shit it’s been a while.” I abandoned my task of watching the mysterious man and found Natasha in front of me. 

She kept me occupied, talking about everything that had happened since we saw each other in Wakanda, and how her life has been coming into peace. 

Throughout our conversation, I found my eyes wandering back to Bucky and I saw him and Steve standing over an empty table. On it lay war memorabilia, a picture of The Howling Commandos with Peggy Carter, and six filled pints. The pair gave a small salute to the table and then hugged each other. 

Their tribute was cut short by the sound of the band playing In The Mood. The room grew louder as a jovial tone sang through the room, and the dance floor became packed. 

“I’ll catch up with you later. I’m making Steve dance with me.” Natasha narrowed her eyes playfully and went to drag Steve onto the floor. 

 I made eye contact with Bucky and smirked. He walked over to me and when he reached me he stopped and held out his hand

“Care to dance, Ms...” he trailed off, waiting for me to finish his sentence. 

“Y/N.” I supplied him as I placed my hand in his. “Yes, I would love to dance.” He escorted me to the dance floor and immediately picked up to the beat of the song.

We danced through In the Mood, Dream a Little Dream of Me and when the final note of Sentimental Journey played we broke apart. He gave me one last spin and leaned us down. With a small kiss to my hand, he hooked my arm in his, leading us out to the balcony.

“I feel like we have met before, your face is familiar.” He spoke offhandedly as he leaned against the rail. I shook my head, a smile tugging at my lips. 

“That line won’t work on me. Sorry soldier.” I laughed while pushing down the brim of his cap slightly. 

“It never has, just thought I’d try anyway.” He grinned and lit a cigarette, offering it to me. I took it, and he lit another, moving closer to me as he did so. We leaned on the railing silently, observing the city and each other, when he broke the silence. 

“Steve and I grew up over in that direction. You can’t see it from here, but I remember being a kid and sneaking away to Manhattan to see everything. There was a cafe here on Park Avenue that we used to go to when we could.” His voice was lofty and I could tell he was lost in a different time, reliving the New York of his past. He gave a look in every direction, seeing it in a way I never could. When his eyes landed back on me he busted into a toothy grin, one that I had seen in old photos of Bucky. 

The trumpet started back up again from inside and the melody that followed was one that near made me nostalgic for the past. He looked at me, and I saw a twinkle in his eye, one that I imagine the younger Bucky had often. He threw the remainder of his cigarette off of the side and went to the center of the balcony. He held out his hand, waiting for me to join him. I followed suit and walked over, letting the sound of It’s Been a Long Long Time wash over me. 

I began to sing the lyrics as we swayed, the tune coming naturally. I hadn’t even realized until he joined in with me. 

“You have a beautiful voice, Mr. Barnes.” I crooned as he spun me back into him. He gave a small blush as he bent me down for the finale. His cool metal hand made my skin raise where he brushed my arm and I gave a small shiver. 

We pulled apart and I ran my hands through his medals and ribbons, lost in thought when he cleared his throat. 

“Well Doll, this has been a pleasure, but I gotta get going. I hope I see you again soon.” He kissed my cheek and closed my fist around a piece of paper before tilting his cap and walking off. 

I stood motionless and awestruck, wondering how he managed to sweep me so far off my feet. The small sliver of paper was digging into my tight fist and I opened it 

‘See you around, Doll,’ 

I smiled at his handwriting and number scrawled on the bottom. 

“Yes Mr. Barnes, you definitely will.”
