#Artem Estate

[sailorrequest]

Artem and Vyn reaction when their partner give them a bouquet of flowers? Thanks!

A/N: Hello everyone, I'm back! College got me all busy but I found time to finish some request! Which means I'm somehow back.

How would Artem and Vyn react to their partner giving them a bouquet

Artem Wing

“Whew!” You swept the sweat away from your forehead, looking at the final product, the four flowers are wrapped nicely in brown craft paper, a thin white ribbon knotted nicely, you wrote on a small card “Remember to always take a break and rest, I love you Artem!” and placed it on the ribbon. 

The doorbell rang, Artem stopped at his paperwork to answer the door. Artem made his way door to door and unlocked it, revealing it to be you smiling with a large but beautiful bouquet in your arms, Artem tilted his head, wondering why you were carrying a bouquet.

“Did I miss something? Or is there a special day that you didn’t tell me about?” Artem’s expression turned into slight panic as he wondered on what day it was. You gently nudged the bouquet towards his broad chest, signaling that he should accept the gift already so the awkwardness won’t continue to prolong in the atmosphere. 

Artem reluctantly reached out to the bouquet, bringing the bundles of flowers near to his nose and softly inhaling the light fragrance that each offered. “Thank you, Y/N. It’s beautiful, although I am slightly embarrassed since it should be the other way around.” Artem sheepishly rubbed the back of his nape with one hand, averting his gaze away, accompanied with a small rosy blush and shy smile. 

“There’s no need to! Plus, allow me to spoil you from time to time, you also deserve some flowers too.” You reassured Artem with a lighthearted laugh, playfully smacking the broad shoulder of the senior attorney, which soon led him into plastering an wider smile, one that symbolizes peace and joy, just like the bouquet you gave him. 

Vyn Richter

“Ah! Y/N, it’s a pleasure to see you again. What brings you here to my humble abode?” Vyn’s amber eyes light up in surprise, his expression softens with delight, a soft smile plastered on the corner of his face, gracing you in his presence. 

“I bought you some flowers.” You shyly handed him the carefully handcrafted bouquet, it had his favorite floral plants but one thing caught his eye. A singular Edelweiss, right in the middle of the centerpiece, a native flower that belonged to his homeland, Svart. As if he was entranced by it, Vyn extended his hand to the bouquet, gently bringing it to him and whiffing the scent that these beautiful plants offered. 

Suddenly, a small card flew down to the porch of Vyn’s mansion, his eyes following the tiny piece of paper. He took a few steps and picked up the letter, it read “Thanks for the free dinner! :).” Vyn let out a soft chuckle, “Oh, you don’t have to, Y/N. It was my pleasure having you as my date,” he responded, causing your cheeks to form a reddish blush across your face, leaving you flustered. 

“Come inside, my lady, either of us wants you to catch a cold, and while at it, would you like me to prepare me a hot cup of tea?” Vyn invited, holding your hand and kissing the back of your hands, which further infuriates your blush. “Of course but you have to stop teasing me here,” you playfully pout your lips, eyes glinting with mischief and enjoyment as you enter his estate. 

As you sit down at one of his sage green plush armchairs, Vyn prepares your favorite tea, making sure that it is made to fit your preferences. Occasionally, he would throw a glance at the bouquet you gave him, he wondered if you knew the meaning of Edelweiss and the legend it has in Svart.

luke !

Before dating:

‘One of the best lawyers I know of! God they’re so spectacular. We’ve known each other for quite a while, since we were kids, as a matter of fact. It’s a shame we were separated for so long, but that’s a story for another time, right? Anyways, I’d definitely recommend their services. I can give you a contact number if you’d like.’

Dating:

‘I want to get a bit personal with you, if that’s alright. I love [Name] with everything in me. I want to give them the best life. They’re the reason I’m having a harder time accepting my limited time left. I would hate to just up and leave them like that. So, I’m gonna fight to stay alive. Just for them. [Name] is always someone worth fighting for.’

marius !

Before dating:

‘Definitely someone who’s really feisty. Even during our first meeting they were determined to not play my games and get what they needed with me. Though, we did get a little closer after investigating together. Hopefully you trust me when I say that they are one of the best lawyers around. I could go on for hours about [Name]’s skills if you’d like.’

Dating:

‘A work of art to me. That’s how I would describe them in my eyes. Ever since our relationship started my artistry has been filled with them and their beautiful smiles. I’m hoping to compose a book of drawings of us, and maybe even gift it to them one day. That way, [Name] knows how incredible they are to me. Yeah, that’s a good idea!’

pantalone !

Before dating:

‘I can let you in on something about [Name], traveler. They’re a harbinger for a reason. Their negotiation and gambling skills are beyond anything I’ve seen before. They even exceed my own in some areas. Working with [Name] always guarantees success on my part when it comes to trades. I assure you, you don’t want to get on their bad side.’

Dating:

‘It’s truly mind blowing how well we work together in a relationship. I love them to death, and I trust they do love me too. I sometimes wonder what life would be like if I hadn’t pursued a relationship with them. That made me realize a small pang of loneliness I always had before. I can’t imagine going back to feeling that way again, all thanks to my love, [Name].’

thoma !

Before dating:

‘[Name] is one of my closest companions at the estate! They’re always offering to help me with my daily duties after they finish. They’re such a blast to hang around all the time. Even my lord and my lady enjoy [Name]’s presence when having a nice evening. You should come and spend a dinner with us one night traveler, how about it?’

Dating:

‘Where do I even begin with them? [Name] is absolutely spectacular in so many ways. Words can’t properly explain everything about them. We both really enjoy helping the local dogs when we have free time. To be honest traveler, I want to spend the rest of my life with them. It’s selfish, I know, but I truly can’t help it when it comes to them.’

xiao !

Before dating:

‘Oh yeah, I know of them. [Name] is one of the workers here at the Inn. They’re always bringing me meals, leaving them on the table and coming back later to see if I’ve eaten them. It’s irritating; we’ve never once come face to face yet they’re so adamant on making me get that meal. Maybe I could consider showing myself to them so they stop coming.’

Dating:

‘They’re.. too kind for their own good. The amount of times they come back after I push them away is frustrating and irritating. [Name] doesn’t understand how being with me endangers them. Still.. I can’t help but feel somewhat nice that someone is taking time to be with me everyday. But that stays between us traveler, understand?’

vyn !

Before dating:

‘They’ve already exceeded my expectations so many times, despite knowing each other for less than a year. [Name] truly is remarkable. A good lawyer, a sharp mind, and even good character. It’s hard to find someone with all those good qualities these days. I want to further my relationship with them, and I do believe you should meet them.’

Dating:

‘I never believed myself capable to love someone as much as I love [Name]. Everyday they continue to shock me in the best way possible. If I may get personal with you, my social experiences as a child weren’t great. Meeting [Name] and allowing them in my heart was scary, but I overcame it. I have them, and I never want to let them go.’

zhongli !

Before dating:

‘Ah, you speak of one of Ningguang’s closest companions, is that right?. If I may, I believe they are reliable and easy to speak with. I’ve noticed [Name]’s interest in some of the stories I have to tell. I enjoy they’re company, and I truly don’t mind telling them any stories or facts I know. I believe their attentive nature is why Ningguang likes them so much.’

Dating:

‘What a beautiful soul they are. I sometimes wonder how I managed to become lucky as such, with [Name] by my side like this. It’s things like these that make one really start to think traveler. I have a will to protect them with everything I have. Such a pure soul in this world is hard to find, and I plan to keep mine for a while.’

i dont know if youve answered this before but what would the kitchen look like with mariluke in it together... 🔥🏠

it would look exACTLY LIKE THESE EMOJIS U SENT. HOUSE ON FIRE

luke cant cook. marius cant cook. the only reason theyre not subsisting off of takeout and luke's egg omelette alone is because payton exists and can cook for them when theyre at the von hagen estate. but thats a hit to their collective ego as well, so luke and marius try their best to learn

it is disastrous until it isnt

they probably set something on fire the first time. and the second and third and fourth and fifth and sixth and seventh. after that, they only manage to burn and overcook whatever it is theyre trying to make, but with practice comes results, and in a.......year or so, theyll be able to craft a good number of dishes and have it actually be edible and taste Okay

it doesnt taste Fabulous, nothing like artem and vyn's cooking but it's Okay and thats good enough for them!!!

actually, luke and marius probably ask artem and vyn for cooking lessons. artem and vyn accept but Lord teaching those boys is an Ordeal and both of their respective patience-s are Tested

itll go something like this

[junye8]

The NXX boys and their residences:

Artem: A penthouse? (Srsly idk)

Vyn: A very grand, large house

Marius: Family estate ofc

Luke: 3 story small building

Make Me Write More Results/Sentences

Okay, my poll is over, so it's time to write. As i said in my little update reblog, since I didn't get all too many votes, each fic gets new sentences based on the number of votes it got, in an effort to force me to write more for all of them.

Thanks for playing, everyone (and thank you again to Jilly for the inspiration)! If you had fun, I might do this again on Tuesday for WIP Wednesday. No pressure to vote if you don't want to though. :D

Accountability sentences (and fic premises) under the cut! Please be warned that some of these sentences will probably make no sense out of context, and are also rough first drafts. :P

Letters to Nadia -- From a shared 7KPP 'verse with @teaandinanity's Valya where our characters' kids decided they were in love with each other. (4 sentences but I cheated and added an extra.)

But now, he’s finally, finally, made it back home, back to the safety of the empty study with a decanter of baijiu, free from prying and judging eyes. Free from her eyes. He groans, barely resisting the urge to dash out the door. For one thing, he’s not sure if he’s cogent enough to make it next door, and for another, she’s likely long gone to bed, never mind the fact that there is absolutely no way she’ll even want to see him in the first place. And that is a thought that stings worse than the liquor.

Evenly Matched -- The previously hinted at 7KPP Jaslen/Falon smut that I am PRAYING doesn't start a new ship in me. (3 sentences)

“My dear general,” and there’s the scowl she is familiar with, that seems to make its way across his face with almost military precision, “I have no idea what you could possibly be referring to. Are you quite well?” Her estimation of him is satisfyingly correct.

forever i'm yours, forever i do -- A retelling of Artem's second anniversary card that started as just an attempt to write out the smut and that VERY MUCH grew out of control HELP (3 sentences)

“You’d think you were the one getting married today, not me,” she says, amusement dancing in her eyes as she shoos him away. “Now go and tell my soon-to-be husband that no, he cannot come see me before the wedding; it's bad luck. Nor are you allowed back her to see her either.”

Oh Brother -- Again from the shared 7KPP 'verse mentioned above, Thomas' little sister's version of what happened. It's still in the very early stages so this is more exposition than anything. (3 sentences but adding in a fourth because it was half-finished anyway.)

The eldest daughter of the entire Galeric-Wu clan and the future heiress to the Galerford estate beyond, she could easily have humored and generally ignored a young cousin twelve years her junior and perhaps another girl, another future duchess, would have. But instead, Nadia had chosen to dote upon them all, treating her with the same understanding and love that she gave all of her friends and loved ones. Well, perhaps not all. Because it is an equally well-established fact that, despite all attempts to hide, dismiss, or minimize the fact, Nadia has a favorite cousin.

Spiral Point -- More 7KPP because the brainrot is real, but this time for Camyon's childhood friends AU. Here is their first interaction at the Summit, when neither of them actually recognize the other. :D (3 sentences)

There was no sensible reason why she should have been struck by his appearance, by the way his brow furrowed, first in search and then in recognition, but for one illogical moment, her heart climbed into her throat, only to settle back into her chest with an inexplicable twinge once he spoke. Of course it was about her cousin. He had known Cousin Jiya, a fact that her mother never failed to tease her with, when it came to her own lack of socialization at those academic events hosted by her fellow Jiyelese elite.

Dinghun Zhou -- My attempt at a fairytale AU, it's CinderLia. In an alternate universe in which there is no Summit, but there's still an event to try and find a wife for the perpetually single Duke Lyon. (2 sentences)

She pursed her lips, studying the flimsy pieces of parchment as though they might contain answers, or at least a logical explanation for her misgiving. Unfortunately, and just as expected, none were forthcoming.

Homecoming -- For the CoG story Teahouse for the Gods, because the A'Li romance was right up my alley but we didn't quite get enough of it, in my humble opinion. It's technically two different fics (I should really come up with a proper name for the other one) but I picked the one I had more inspiration for--which you may be unsurprised to learn is probably the angstier of the two. (1 sentence but I cheated again with two.)

It takes a moment for her to clear the memory out of her mind’s eye, to remind herself of the present, and in that time, he’s already stepped into view, though his head is turned, this way and that, as though cataloging every difference in the ensuing decades. Jacqueline darts to her side, half in shock, and she makes a mental note to sit down with the poor thing before his eyes fall on her and the entire mountain seems to hold its breath.

Seasong -- Back to Tears of Themis, a friend did some art for Mermay which inspired an AU in my head that I never got very far in because I am terrible at multichapter things. (4 sentences)

She knew of cages, had seen the ones that sunk, irrevocably, ceaselessly, to the bottom of the sea floor, had heard them whispered of by those unlucky few who had witnessed the capture of one of their own, and the stories of those even unluckier who had somehow managed to escape from such capture. She had heard of the fear, of the isolation, of the greed and malevolence of those humans, who hunted and tormented without need, who captured and traded without compassion. She had heard tales, once meant to frighten her away from the surface, of the many, many who were unable to escape. And now she was trapped in one.

Okay, that's everything, I think. If you read until here, thank you, and maybe see you on Tuesday for another poll? :P

[rexonalapis]

Summary: NXX's next case takes the team inside a virtual reality RPG game but nothing goes according to plan, and they develop identity crisis.

Prologue NXX Quest Chapter 1: Knight, Retainer, and Dune (Sumeru Quest) Act 1: Dr. Ritcher wants to blow off some steam by k* mushrooms Act 2: Rosa single handedly defeating a giant flying robot awakens something inside Marius Act 3: Artem Wing, always the voice of reason even when he’s useless in battle Act 4: Luke wants to d* so bad he has to be imprisoned to prevent that from happening NXX Quest Chapter 2: Soldier, God, and Sky (Liyue Quest) Act 1: Welcome back, Archaic Lord Act 2: Artem has 99% winning rate and defeating wolves is not a part of it Act 3: Marius didn’t agree to come here to fight the evil version of himself (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) NXX Quest Chapter 3: The Stagnated Stranded Star (Inazuma, Mondstadt, & ??

The gameplay in Genshin will be altered to fit the version that appears in this story, and one of the most prominent change is that they can only choose one character to play as their 'avatar' and if you're not familiar with Genshin, those avatars are:

Luke: Thoma (Pyro Support, Polearm), Kamisato Estate Housekeeper, Yashiro Commision Retainer Artem: Zhongli (Geo Support, Polearm), Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Consultant, Geo Archon, God of Contracts

Vyn: Ayato (Hydro DPS, Sword), Yashiro Commisioner, Head of Kamisato Clan Marius: Tartaglia (Hydro DPS, Bow, and practically also polearm and double swords tbh), The Eleventh of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers

Rosa: Eula (Cyro/Physical DPS, Claymore), Reconnaissance Company Captain, Spindrift Knight DAVIS: Venti (Anemo Support, Bow), Singer of Skyward Sonnets, Anemo Archon, God of Freedom

Their skill and burst names will refer to the native language of their avatar's respective origin nation instead of just English, except for Aether and Lumine

Aether and Lumine are actual people from Stellis in this story, and they go by the JP translation of their names, Sora and Hotaru, but of course they still look like these in the game. They will be able to use multiple elements at once instead of changing it first through resonate and the story will take the liberty to give them elements that they haven't resonate with in the canon Genshin (Hydro, Pyro, and Cyro)

Domains still exist as the real game mechanic in this story but not Trounce Domain

There are 6 players in coop mode instead of 4

As the story progresses, the lore in this version of the game will have more headcanon theory to fill in the patchy lore.

Rent prices in Kiev before and after the Russian Invasion

Before the Russian invasion, Kiev was a bustling city with a thriving real estate market. Rent prices were on the rise as more people flocked to the city for job opportunities, education, and a better quality of life. The demand for rental properties was high, and landlords were capitalizing on the growing market by increasing rents to match the demand.

Photo by Artem Beliaikin on Unsplash

The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center was around $500 to $700 per month, while a three-bedroom apartment could cost anywhere from $1000 to $1500 per month. These prices were considered relatively high for the average Ukrainian salary, but people were willing to pay the premium for the convenience and amenities that city living offered.

However, everything changed when the Russian invasion of Ukraine occurred. The invasion has not only resulted in a devastating loss of life and destruction, but it has also had a significant impact on the economy and real estate market in Kiev. The city that was once a beacon for investment and opportunity has now become a shadow of its former self.

Photo by Imad Alassiry on Unsplash

The rental market in Kiev has been severely affected by the conflict. Many people have fled the city in fear for their safety, leaving behind vacant properties that were once in high demand. As a result, landlords are now struggling to find tenants, and the oversupply of rental properties has caused a sharp decline in rent prices.

The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center has plummeted to around $300 to $400 per month, while a three-bedroom apartment can now cost as little as $600 to $800 per month. These price drops may seem like a silver lining for potential tenants, but they are a clear indication of the dire situation that the city is facing.

Photo by Sorasak on Unsplash

The decrease in rent prices may seem like a positive development for some, but it is a sign of the economic and social decline that Kiev is experiencing. The war has not only driven people away from the city, but it has also crippled the local economy, causing widespread unemployment and poverty. Many businesses have shut down, and those that have managed to survive are struggling to stay afloat amidst the chaos and uncertainty.

The once vibrant streets of Kiev are now filled with a sense of fear and despair. The city that was once a symbol of hope and progress has now become a battleground, both literally and figuratively. The war has taken a heavy toll on the city, and the real estate market is just one of the many victims of this ongoing conflict.

What was once a thriving real estate market has now become a ghost town, with empty buildings and abandoned properties serving as a constant reminder of the devastation that has befallen the city. The future of Kiev and its real estate market remains uncertain, and it will take a long time for the city to recover from the damage that has been inflicted upon it.

Photo by Saru Robert on Unsplash

In conclusion, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has had a devastating impact on the rental market in Kiev. Rent prices have dropped significantly due to the oversupply of vacant properties and the mass exodus of residents. The once thriving city has now been reduced to a shell of its former self, and the future remains uncertain. It is a tragic situation that has left many worried about the fate of this once great city.

   There’s some relief when Radovan removes his fangs from his neck, but the grip the other has on him prevents him from pulling away. Luka tries to turn his head to look at the Vampire, but they were keeping their face in his neck making it too difficult for him to. Breathing, licking, it was like Radovan was fighting the temptation to go back for more and Luka was fairly certain they should be more than satiated by now. 

   The constant fondling the other was doing with his hips was very distracting and he really wanted to know what Radovan was doing, but before he could question it he said those words. Luka frowned and gripped Radovan’s shoulder a bit tighter before he attempted to actually shove him back away from him. 

   “No.” 

   Luka had agreed to let him stay the night, because he had nowhere else to go and Abarith had a curfew. He said he could stay the night and then if his Pack wasn’t here in the morning Luka would attempt to find him a safer place Be it with Toshiro’s Pack or at one of the various inn’s around Abarith. Somewhere that he could very easily, and safely, wait for Artem and the other people that were coming to get him. 

   Up until this moment too Radovan seemed very agreeable with that plan. Completely content with the ideas that Luka had been coming up with. He hadn’t seemed to want to stay here any more than Luka wanted him to stay here. Didn’t he tell Artem or whomever he was talking to that this was an emergency? What was he going to do now? Call them back and tell them he lied and he was forever going to live in Luka’s estate? 

   Absolutely not. 

   He would sound delusional. 

   Luka’s not taking the blame for that.

“Get off, go shower, sleep and when you wake up whatever blood haze you're in will have cleared and you’ll gladly run into the arms of whatever dog is picking you up in the morning.” Since that was the only answer that made sense to him. He’s just a little high off of the blood and when that cleared he would be feeling a lot better. It’s fine, when they’re starving they can get that way, though usually it was just fledglings that tended to lose themselves to the bloodlust.

Radovan felt the flinch, his free hand moving to grasp upon the other's hip to make sure he didn't move farther away. A feral growl escaped his throat as he swallowed again.

His body was glowing with the feeling of the other's taste and blood inside of him. He was attempting to remind himself that he need only take a little. A drink or two. Two max yes.

Artem would be here tomorrow, Aurel in tow to come pick him up. He could feed from the idiot later and then everything would be fine.

Nothing had ever tasted as good as this though.

His hand attempted to get at the skin, wanting to feel the other against him. He remembered Aurel talking to him about the lust. The OVERWHELMING urge to get inside of the one you are feeding from. To brand them in a way and suck down their very soul.

He had never felt that never even thought of anything described by that. Only at this moment, he was understanding what Aurel was saying, the feeling he was getting crawling against Luka's clothing. Attempting to get under it, to feel skin against skin.

Something snapped in his brain the fourth mouthful. His body shook and he attempted to get himself to pull away. His teeth pulled back, blood across his lips as he breathed heavily against Luka's neck. Needing more.

His tongue came across lapping lightly at the blood dripping. He heard what Luka said.

Don't Make A Mess.

He could clean up after himself.

"Sweet like candy." His voice was rough, eyes half-lidded as his fingers twirled and danced a pattern against Luka's waist. His other hand didn't stop touching, moving, branding against the other. How could he leave now that he had the taste of Luka.

" 'm staying forever. I'm moving in." He whispered it against Luka's skin, gently licking another little blood droplet with a groan.

How A Secret Supply Chain Used US Tech To Support Putin's War In Ukraine

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has called sanctions on Russia “illegal”. For years, Artem Uss had appeared in Russian media as the owner of fancy real estate, luxury cars and Italian hotels. Now US officials allege he’s at the center of a suspected secret supply chain that prosecutors say used American technology to support President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine. The son of a Siberian…

[actualbird]

just curious, because i know i made a post about this before about how i always bring MC back to luke's place after weekly explore tasks (yknow, the ones that give u spare change of 10 s-chips per completed task) because after doing errands i assume she'll be tired and i want her to chill with lukey in her downtime because i feel very much intensely too many emotions for these little pixel people and i want to leave her somewhere nice til next week's errands. and when i posted that i remember seeing people who went "oh im making her go home to [insert other nxx boys' residence] once that map is available" AND people who went "oh my god i leave her out on the STREETS" and so

now that all of the boys' residences are now unlocked and available in the explore feature

chapter three

series masterlist / chapter four

pairing: bucky barnes x curvy!reader (dark!soulmate au)

warnings: this is an +18 only series. this chapter is really just backstory. slight angst.

words: 3.4k

notes: i know what you’re thinking. isn’t that a gif of nick fowler? why yes it is. that’s bc i caught myself picturing artem as nick and bucky is in this for like .5 seconds so i thought it fit better than a bucky gif would have lol. also, i didn’t check the timeline i’ve vaguely set up so if it doesn’t track let’s just pretend it does, okay? thanks 🥰 as i posted yesterday, what i had planned for ch three is now ch four because i wrote more than i thought i would for the backstory and decided to split it up. but i swear we’re gonna get to the good stuff soon 😙 as always, feedback and comments are welcome and appreciated. thank you for reading 🖤

All of Tuesday was spent in your room. You never received an updated mission brief, so you had begrudgingly accepted the fact that Bucky would be accompanying you. It was shitty and you felt embarrassed when you thought back to his clear rejection of you in the gym, but you were a professional. You could set it aside to get your job done. It’d be fine. That’s what you kept telling yourself. You made sure you had what you needed packed and worked on as many different plans for all the scenarios you could imagine taking place once you were back in Belarus.

The quinjet was scheduled to take off late tonight and you’d arrive in Minsk sometime around 8pm Thursday. The Ivanov family was having some phony charity gala Friday and the plan was for you to infiltrate their estate while they would be at the gala and retrieve the files and records you needed to finally put Sergey, the patriarch of the family, away for good. SHIELD would come in during the scramble that was sure to ensue once they had him in custody and be able to put most of, if not all, the rest of them away, too. They were ill prepared for a change in power and the organizations they controlled would fall easily in the chaos.

You knew the layout of their home intimately so you knew exactly where to hit and how to get in and out as easily as possible. It should go smoothly.

Get in, get the files, get out.

Simple.

But something was warning you it might not be as easy as it sounded. You knew you’d have to be on high alert the second you got to their estate, and you knew you’d have to trust Bucky to keep an eye on your movements should anything unexpected go down. Trust didn’t really come easily to you, but you didn’t have much of a choice.

Sergey was the guest of honor for the event, so you knew his private security would be with him, meaning his office should be unattended. You felt confident that his wife and his son, Artem, would be in attendance with him. The only people you had to get around would be the perimeter security, whoever the two guards they’d have inside the house would be, and the house staff. In your experience, the in-house security would most likely be hanging around in the main living room in the main house of the estate and the staff would be in their living quarters, the house off the back side of the grounds. They were really only in the main house mornings getting their work done and at nights when the family was home, preparing dinner and then cleaning up once they went to bed. Since they’d be gone Friday night, you were positive they’d keep to their quarters. You’d just need to get into the estate without being detected and enter through the back house to avoid whoever would be on guard. Once you were in, you’d make your way to Sergey’s office, get the files transferred, and get out. You’d be headed back to the safe house before 11pm and on your way home, hopefully, not long after.

You focused on replaying the plan over and over in your mind as you rechecked your luggage and gear. And again, repeatedly as you boarded the quinjet nearly an hour early. You were anxious to get this mission over with, for more reason than one. You hadn’t even given yourself permission to think back on the last month you had spent in Belarus and the memories that would be waiting there for you. There was no point. That life was gone. That woman was gone. Hell, she never really existed.

None of those relationships did, you reminded yourself. It was designed by you, you knew exactly what you were getting into. Maybe you just hadn’t expected your players to play their part as well as they had. You were set to betray them from the beginning, you had done it many times over to many bad people without blinking an eye. But Artem was different. This was different. And all too personal.

You knew you screwed up the night it happened, but you couldn’t help yourself. Looking back, you were pathetic. And weak. And stupid. You knew better. You knew who he was and you knew who you were.

Yet you still wound up in his bed. Night after night. You had never felt so enchanted by someone. Now you weren’t the first spy to sleep with a target undercover before, you did what you had to do to get the job done, but you knew you couldn’t excuse it as that. You could have found a way around it if you had really tried.

You can’t help but think now, if you hadn’t been so desperate, so love starved, you never would have given into his charms to begin with. You had only yourself to blame, but in the same vein, you were only human. Tough to believe at times, but you were. As on top of your game as you always were, you just fell weak. There was no other way to put it. It just felt easy, and you felt wanted. You wanted to believe he was different, better. You tried to tell yourself that if you could just explain to him, he’d understand. He’d be on your side. He wasn’t a bad man, you told yourself. But that wasn’t the case, of course.

You were found out. You still weren’t sure exactly how, but you were. You were set to meet up with Artem for a date night at one of the many restaurants Sergey owned. Though when you showed up, you knew immediately something was off. There was an alarm bell ringing in your head, but as you sat in the back of the chauffeured ride, you knew you had to play it cool. Scanning every exit and making notes of possible escape routes, you stepped out of the car and slowly made your way inside. You could tell the place was empty before you walked in the door and that realization made your stomach drop. You worked to maintain your breathing and assured yourself you’d get out of there fine. Keeping your head held high as you strode in, silently grateful you had opted for the black bodysuit under your dress tonight despite originally having wanted to wear a matching two piece set. If you needed to get out of the tight dress you were wearing to make a run for it, it wouldn’t be too exposing.

You gripped your small purse concealing your pistol, reaffirming it was still there. At least you had that. You weren’t necessarily prepared for this tonight, but you wouldn’t be as good as you were if you arrived anywhere completely unprepared. You didn’t have much in the way of weapons on you, but you doubted you’d be able to utilize them if you had. The black heels you wore would do the trick if they had to.

As you approached Artem, sitting alone at a table set for two, you realized that there really was no one else there. Just him. You walked up behind him and saw the pistol he had in his lap, poorly hidden beneath the table. You continued around him and took the seat across from him. The plates were clear and the glasses still empty.

“Tatyana,” he said solemnly.

“Artem,” you returned, his clear blue eyes watching your form with an intensity you hadn’t felt from him before. It was a darker look when his eyes met yours, harsher. Angry, though the rest of his demeanor appeared cool.

It was tensely silent for a minute as you sat across from him, just staring at one another. You weren’t going to speak first, and so only the sounds of your breathing could be heard until he finally spoke again.

“Tell me it’s not true,” he said. You didn’t answer immediately, waiting for just a moment.

“Tell you what’s not true?” you asked, instantly causing him to lose his feigned calm. His fist, the one not holding his gun, hit the table, causing the still empty glasses to shake with the vibration.

“Don’t play stupid with me,” he roared.

You clutched your purse in your lap, but didn’t move to pull your weapon, not just yet, as he kept his in his lap as well. His eyes burning into yours, neither one of you wanting to move first.

“I trusted you,” he nearly whispered. “I gave you everything. And this whole time, all of… it’s been a lie?”

You took a moment, trying to decide which way to go with this conversation, finally opting for the truth.

“I had a job to do,” you began quietly, but were cut off by Artem hitting the glasses and dishes off the table in his fury, along with a string of curses in Russian flying from his mouth.

“You had a job!?” he said, disgruntled and disgusted. “Well, so do I.”

He raised his pistol up pointing it at your face and you fought the impulse you had to disarm him. His hold on his gun was weak and flimsy, it’d be easy enough to do. But the light quiver of his lip and the almost imperceptible shaking of his hand gave you pause. You looked to the safety and saw it was still in place. You swallowed the small lump in your throat and took a breath.

He may have been told to kill you, but there was no way he was going to. You put your hands up slowly as he looked at you, hurt and anger clear on his face as you slowly rose from your seat, him following your every move.

“You’re a good man, Artem,” you began gently. “You’re not like them, I know it. I know you,” you tried to placate.

“If you think I’m a good man, you don’t know me at all,” he argued, voice tight.

“I do. You think all of it’s been a lie, but that’s not the truth. Getting this close to you, it was never part of the plan,” you explained, his dry laugh interrupting you. “I should have never let it happen. You were innocent in all of this. You still are,” you tried to remind him, only earning you a sneer in response. “I just needed an in, and you-”

“I what?! Was an easy target?” he accused, offended. “Is that it?!”

You didn’t know what to say, a knot reforming in your throat. It was never supposed to go down like this. But the second you got too close, you should have known it would be inevitable. You had been slowly stepping back, getting yourself closer to the exit as he continued aiming the gun at you.

“You’re family,-” you started, again being cut off by him,

“Don’t you fucking dare talk about my family,” he warned you. You had known deep down, since the start, despite what you wanted to believe, Artem would always choose his family. And that exclamation just solidified that fact. There was no reason to try and win him over, there would be no changing his mind. You might get out of here tonight, but you knew that didn’t mean you were safe. If he couldn’t do it himself, his father would surely send someone else to.

“How could you do this to me?” he asked, pained.

“I’m sorry,” you told him. “But it’s not about you,” you said, shaking your head. “It was never about you.”

“You just switch it off so easily, don’t you,” he grimaced, almost dejected. Like he thought maybe you cared enough about him to make things okay. As if he thought you’d apologize and beg for his forgiveness and you could put this all behind you. That couldn’t happen, though. It wouldn’t.

You had no response to his accusation. You stood across from him, eyes bearing into one another’s. Eventually, he gave up. He threw his pistol on the table, appearing exhausted, his eyes never leaving you. You stayed where you were as he moved toward you, approached you closer until he was standing right in front of you. You let him take hold of your chin as he tilted your face up gently. Like he was trying to save to memory your face and the feeling of your soft skin beneath his touch as he caressed your cheek. He leaned down, getting nose to nose with you before he took your lips in his. It was almost like an apology. You to him and him to you. He pulled away slightly and spoke against your lips.

“You’ve broken my heart Tatyana,” he told you, the name he called you by was another reminder of the endless lies you had fed him since the day you met. Just another part of the job. He pulled away from you completely, his hands slipping from you as he walked further away before he turned around, dragging his hand down his face before he looked back at you. “We both know I can’t do it. I can’t kill you,” he admitted aloud. Then suddenly his resentment was back in full force as his face hardened once again. As if his resolve to do right by his family had returned. “But I won’t stop anyone from doing what I’m too weak to do,” he nearly seethed.

You held eye contact for a moment longer, wanting to say something, but thinking better of it as you walked backward to the exit, your eyes still trained on one another. One last look and you were gone. Once you were out in the cool night air, your only focus was on getting out of the city without being seen or running into anyone from their operations. You couldn’t dwell on what happened. Couldn’t dwell on all the mistakes you’d made that led you there. You acted on instinct alone.

You knew you didn’t have much time, if any, to get out. Your apartment was a no go, seeing as you were staying there under your alias, Tatyana Volkova. The carefully crafted identity you had taken on months ago. You got yourself out of the city that very night, your head on a swivel everywhere you went. The second you had left the restaurant, you knew there would be a bounty on your head. And you were right. You had stupidly left your passport and fake ID in the apartment you had been living, and your contact couldn’t seem to get you out of Belarus without hitting every snag he possibly could have. It took way too long to get another passport and ID, longer to get a flight out of the country, and no safehouse or transport available.

You had been staying in cheap rooms under fake names, constantly on the go, but that didn’t put you in the clear. You knew you should have been more prepared for the reality that you'd have a hit on you, but you didn’t realize how high a reward the Ivanov’s had set. The payday had quite a few highly skilled assassins after you. Luckily for you, you weren’t too shabby yourself on that front. You knew all the tricks and saw them coming from a mile away every time. Each attempt made on your life only served to piss you off more. They were relentless. None of them nearly as skilled as you, but still. You soon realized you didn’t have much of a choice left. You were alone, no one to have your back in the encounters you faced, not that that was new to you, but it was getting wearisome mentally. You weren’t sure how long you could stay on top of your game like this. But you knew they wouldn’t stop until Tatyana was dead. So…you’d just have to kill her.

For whatever reason, you and your contact, Walt, had a way easier time faking your death than you’d had on simply getting out of the country. Walt pretended to be taking on your hit and you and him easily followed through on their instructions. Three days and one anonymous wire transfer later saw Tatyana Volkova deceased and you on your way back to London, where you had been based for the past few years.

When you got back to your apartment, your real apartment, that was when everything started to sink in. Your body was sore and your mind was reeling. You felt utterly alone. You were alone. If you hadn’t kept yourself so closed off all of your life, maybe you wouldn’t have been so susceptible to the advances of Artem. It’s not like you were in love with him, you just… needed someone. And he had been there. You were loath to admit it, but you were starting to realize that maybe being as alone as you kept yourself for so long was more detrimental than you thought it could be. You needed to reevaluate your life. You needed to get your head on straight and reorient yourself. You had fucked up on this mission and it wasn’t like you. Maybe it was time for a change. Reintroduce yourself to the world of people around you.

That sounded absolutely terrible. And honestly, made you a little anxious.

You didn’t know where you’d even start.

After some time trying to figure things out, plan your next steps, you just so happened to see some of the world’s mightiest heros on the news. You’d remembered what Kate and Yelena had said the day you’d met, they talked to you about joining the Avengers. Being part of a team.. Without thinking much, not wanting to talk yourself out of it, and choosing to trust your gut and follow your intuition, you found yourself getting into contact with Tony Stark. You were in New York a week later. And now here you are. As anxious as you were to get this mission over with, you were grateful for the opportunity in the first place. You were looking for a fresh start here. You needed to finish what you began before you could really move into your future, whatever it might be. No regrets holding you down. Working on forgiving yourself for your past mistakes and making up for them now. You were damn good at your job, and you refused to let this one mission make you think otherwise. It was time to redeem yourself in your own eyes, and finally put an end to this one.

The plan you made had been replaying in your mind over and over once again until the sound of heavy footsteps coming from the door of the quinjet caught your ear. Bucky entered, throwing his luggage down as he did. Scowl maring his beautiful face as usual. He didn’t so much as glance at you, and you didn’t acknowledge him either. Was it your pride or embarrassment? Didn’t really matter, they were two sides of the same ego driven coin. You recognized your lack of maturity, but told yourself it was merely a reflection of Bucky rather than you. You were simply avoiding him in the same way he was doing to you. You stayed where you were seated as he went to the controls, taking the pilot’s seat. Within no time, he had the jet set to take off.

“Are you ready?” Bucky asked, his voice breaking the silence between you, while his eyes stayed fixed on the controls. You took a breath before you answered.

“Yeah.”

With that, you and Bucky were on your way to Belarus. It’d be an enjoyable, not at all awkward or tense 15 hour flight, you were sure.

breeding kink anon here 👉🏻👈🏻🥴 just came out of my shell to say aaah tysm for answering my ask and also if im a lil too blunt excuse me as i am recovering from a crazy night out so i may just speak my horny thoughts openly 🤭

I really liked the wholesome twist you gave to each of the men's answers and lowk marius' one almost had me feeling tears bc i feel for this man TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT PLS. Luke was spicy and Artem and Vyn were cute, all were *chef's kiss* thank you for the brainrot. i've tired myself out of most of the good smuts so this was a delicious treat 😩 been reading you for a bit of time basically ever since you started the blog on here and I always look forward to your posts whether it be answering anons or writing <3 I think i read that you've been having a rough few weeks so I hope you feel better soon and have been taking care 🥺

on a side note tho, marius is totally nasty like that- and if ppl tell me he hasn't at least tried to draw you nude or in debauched positions/clothing, dress u up in cute custom lingerie designed by himself, or fucked you in his art studio imma think they lying (on top of office sex ofc), or basically tried to on every surface in the von Hagen estate. i almost feel bad for his butler and vincent. 🥵 bet he would make it a challenge for you to keep his cum inside you as you go about your day when ur hanging around his home on both your days off, wearing one of his shirts and if he notices any leaking down your legs or panties he will not hesitate to either push it back in with his fingers or pump you full again~ despite whatever you may have been pre-occupied with at that current moment, just you being filled with his seed makes him feral.

p.s. I plan on sticking around for some time and idk if you give out anons emojis bc my brain fuzzy rn and i can't quite recall 💀 but if you do I don't mind being assigned one related to alcohol or your choice hehe.

anon you’re so sweet!! i had to take a while just to think of how to respond to such a nice message 🥺 i appreciate you so much! my week is better this time around! i hope you’ll have great weeks ahead too anon, you deserve it 💜

now back to horny. what if i tell you (cn server spoiler) that that is canon now 👀 they implied it 👀 maybe not as filthy as we’d think but i mean, i’d like to believe so lmfao. but also yes! he’s the kind of man who will definitely fuck you everywhere and anywhere — as long as there’s a flat surface, he’ll definitely fuck you on it 🧎🏻‍♀️

and omghdhshshhs not that making me crazy horny. after a whole night of just sex over and over again, you can barely feel your legs but you get up from bed anyway to go make yourself a cup of coffee. he comes up behind you and hugs you from the back before slowly, sliding his hand down to your cunt. he pulls your folds open with his fingers and shoves his middle finger inside your hole. it’s hot, wet and laced with his cum from last night. he pushes in deeper, letting the semen leak and slide down his finger. you arch your back at the sensation, a soft moan leaving your lips.

“jiejie, you’re so full—look at you, dripping all over my fingers.” he then pulls out and shows you his fingers, coated with both your combined fluids. he slowly pushes them past your lips and you lick them clean. you’re so turned on, it hurts. you need him inside you. and he knows this. “i wanna fill you up again…”

he pulls down his briefs and shoves his hardened cock inside you. and fuck does he stretch you full, you’ll never get used to his size. you’re always just so tight around him and it takes all of him not to cum right away. he fucks you against the counter, grabbing onto your hips and ass. wrapping his fingers around your neck and pulling you against him as he fucks your rough and fast. you swear you can feel the fluids sloshing inside you from how wet everything is. and it’s only going to get messier.

“marius—please! want more…”

“i know baby. i’ll give you what you want. i know you want me to pump another load inside you…fill you up again…so you can feel all hot and full inside…”

your walls tighten at his words and soon you’re gushing around him. you coat his cock with your fluids, your body trembling against him as you orgasm over and over again. he moans your name and slams harder inside you, and he’s so deep you can almost feel your heart stop. “oh fuck such a good girl—i’m gonna—ah”

nothing will ever beat the sensation of having marius shoot his cum inside you. it’s so hot and the load is almost always huge, thanks to him being young and full of testosterone. he fills you up so full and now you’re left with a messier cunt than it was just minutes ago. he holds you against him and despite still being plugged inside you, you can still feel his semen overflow and leak out of you and onto the floor. you make a mental note to clean that mess before he gets poor vincent to do it.

i feel like i still have a lot of horny in my system after that omg this man will be the death of me. also thank you for such a delicious spicy brainrot anon. and i’m giving you the 🍷 emoji cus i love wine!

[kazoohaa]

hey are your requests open? 🥰 can i request a headcanon of the ToT boys + Rosa as parents? like for example how would Marius and rosa together as parents hehe and if it’s possible can you include their reactions to their child telling them they have an s/o? THANK YOU 💖💖

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝟏𝟎𝟏. tears of themis

— notes. I'M ALIVE I SWEAR— apologies for how this is super late ! i really love this idea though :D also theres slight spoilers about vyns backstory so i put his part last

— details. marius von hagen, artem wing, luke pearce, vyn richter x fem!reader (separate). fluff.

KING ;

marius is the Cool Dad™ and rosa is, as always, the Girlboss™

marius would probably spoil their kid rotten if rosa wasn't there to keep a tight watch on how much he's spending on them

the kid gets used to how big the von hagen estate is and it's their "normal", so when they went on a playdate once with a friend in preschool or kindergarten they went "why is your house so small 😐" and rosa had to immediately put her hand over their mouth like 😁 "sorry about that" while marius holds back a laugh

marius was a headache to deal with before and while they were dating. to put it very kindly, he's more mature now, but rosa's faced with their child- who is pretty much a carbon copy of the pax ceo. a mini marius.

marirosa's child has rosa's softer features and her eyes, but they have marius' hair colour. it's sometimes frightening to see the cheeky devilish smile which you're used to seeing on marius' face

all i can say is good luck tbh /j

...make that a /hj

when their child gives them "art" for the first time (yk, the really bad drawings of our families we all make in like kinder or pre-kinder) marius probably cried

"sobs- onee-san look!- sniff- it's- it's us! sobbing- i love it 😭"

rosa sticks it on the fridge, or if marius beats her to the paper he will frame it

oh and when they tell their parents that they have an s/o, marius the drama queen shows up

"yoU WHAT?? onee-san 😭 our kid's growing up too quickly 😭 i thought they were gonna be my baby forever 😭😭😭 and you! i thought i told you that you would ask my permission before you date anyone >:("

"you made me agree to that when i was five, daaad-"

when he meets the s/o he will act very friendly around them but he's judging every aspect of their personality to see if they're right for his child

rosa just. looks on. she can't do anything about it now.

if marius deems the s/o chill then he is also chill

the first time rosa and marius met their child's s/o it was a little bit awkward the first few minutes because they felt like they had to be formal because it's literally pax's ceo we're talking about here, it's THE marius von hagen and his wife—

but they found out that both of them are actually really chill, and soon they're all cracking jokes, bantering and laughing

"so. when are you two gonna get married 😘"

"DAD STOP-"

LIBRA ;

artem’s strict but very caring and rosa’s the emotional and mental support

they’re!! such!! a!! power!! couple!! they’re both amazing attorneys and partners, both in work and romantically

their child loves artem's cooking, it's no secret that they do, because who doesn't love artem's cooking??? but they still try to pretend that they like rosa's just as much as artem's 😭 they don't wanna make her sad!

artem and rosa, of course, are really busy as lawyers, as themis' popularity grew (as well as their own) and the cases piled. but they will always find time to spend with each other and their child.

as a child, artem's parents were barely there for him when he needed them, so he is determined to not be like that. he doesn't want his child to feel the same emotional gap he felt with his own parents. even though he is closer with his parents now, he wants his child to experience better than he had.

he wants to be a parent who their child knows they can rely on when they need support.

they’re still very independent though!

they’re also a precious bean who must be protected. because artem is precious bean, rosa is precious bean, meaning they are x2 the precious bean

also both of them are like the best people to go to for advice for practically anything.

except love. their child definitely can’t come to them for relationship tips because they’re literally the last people to go to. sure they’re already married to each other and are really happy and work well together and all that jazz, but god do you know how long that took?!?!

the one time rosa tells their child about how she and artem got together, their child was dying at how slow they were to realise their feelings and actually make any moves. rosa told them about how celestine kept trying to set them up for like, years

it’s not her fault that artem was an emotionally stunted rock before. dear miss celestine, artemrosa’s child understands your pain now.

right so when they tell their parents that they have an s/o, artem gets protective but tries to keep it lowkey

at least he thinks he's keeping it lowkey

protective artem is pretty obvious

the first time the s/o meets artem and rosa it's.. rather awkward.

rosa tries her best to make conversation and get to know who her child's special someone is more personally, and artem kinda just sits there because he doesn't know what to say...

so it's mainly just rosa and her child carrying the whole thing while artem tries to find a way to insert himself into the conversation without making the s/o suddenly revert back to being more polite and formal. poor artem

RAVEN ;

he's dead.

OKAY OKAY FINE I'LL MOVE ONTO THE ACTUAL HCS NOW 🏃‍♀️

lukerosa's child is the actual epitome of sunshine, pureness and puppy vibes

they're just so cute !! literally everyone loves them, idk who can't agree— they must be protected!!

rosa and luke are the best couple and parents ever. because of the bond they've shared since childhood, they know each other like the back of their hand, it's so cute

their child’s greatest strength against their parents is their puppy-dog eyes, and after they learned this it usually lets them get their way, because who can’t resist this sunshine child’s puppy gaze?

luke insists that they learned it from rosa’s adorable face but rosa says it’s got to be from luke’s golden retriever vibes

plot twist, they only learned how to do the pleading eyes after they met marius

ahem

anyways

luke teaches their child some photography and coding tricks :]

and you know when one parent tells you to pass on a message to your other parent because they aren’t bothered to walk over to the other room and tell them themselves

they do that

but it’s just… weird

like rosa will call her child and tell them, “your dad’s looking for some things in the garage, right? tell him ‘festival, 2016’, he’ll understand.” and their child is like ??????????? festival???? 2016????? what the hell does that have to do with the tools their dad is looking for??????

anyways the two of them are like the most loving parents ever oh my god i want them as my parents

rosa taught their child cooking because there was an incident when luke attempted to teach them and the kitchen almost went down in flames.

mmmaybe he should just stick to the recipes he already knows 😁

when their child tells them that they have an s/o, they’re both very happy for their child!!

but luke will do a background check on the s/o

and if he hasn't already, he'll teach his child some self-defence, just in case! he’ll probably customise an item so that it can double up as a weapon just like he did for rosa before when he made lipstick into a taser

in their first meeting it's actually really chill because luke's face is just so warm and welcoming and you just immediately feel at ease when around him and his family

they pretty much treat the s/o as if they were their own child

ADJUDICATOR ;

theyre just. i don’t know how to explain it. their overall vibe is just so calm and pleasant and elegant i can’t properly describe it

and obviously the child picks up from their parents so they’re also a rather angelic child and are nice company to be around

you can’t stop the red flag part though

they’ve been interested about their parents’ jobs from a young age so growing up they learn more and more things about both occupations (which someone their age probably shouldn’t be memorising yet.. vyn and rosa’s child is scarily smart sometimes)

LMAO WAIT—

vyn will probably tell their child about his background when they're already a teenager and they'd be like "DAD. YOU'RE A FUCKIGN. DUKE?!?! AND YOU?? DECIDED TO ??? ONLY TELL ME NOW????"

vynrosa's child is always relatively calm 85% of the time, so it always intimidates their friends when they get angry because that is not something you see every day and yo why do i feel murderous intent hidden behind that smile showing their barely concealed anger—

and they have a rather sharp tongue too.

they learned that from vyn. yep definitely vyn.

their ability to intimidate is actually from watching old clips of rosa’s court appearances and when watching rosa banter with marius

rosa has to admit that it can get a little bit unsettling when she sees her child just glowering in the corner because of some disagreement with a friend

she,, tries to discourage this behaviour as much as possible,,,,

then one day their child tells them that they have an s/o

rosa’s like “aww they’ve found someone! i’m so proud” but vyn’s immediately suspicious (though you really can’t tell unless you look carefully at his eyes)

when he meets his child's s/o for the first time he's probably going to make them feel somewhat awkward or uncomfortable because of his attention being on them.

he makes light conversation, asking for their interests and hobbies, etc but—

he’s actually sitting there and he’s fuckin psychoanalysing them... mentally noting on their habits, body language, their "micro-expressions", etc— mans is scary...

will probably find some dirt on the s/o somehow. you know. just in case they're actually a bad person or if the relationship doesn't work... he can make their reputation go up in flames!

ahem. moving on~

when he’s done with all of these tests he’ll finally warm up to them more.

it might be hard for the s/o at first because they felt that mr. richter was just really elegant and perfect and smart, so they try to act as proper as they can around him and are really polite— it takes a while for them to be more casual 😭
