Let's Talk About The Overlap Between Autism, ADHD, and Schizophrenia
I've been wanting to make a graph like this for awhile, about the overlap between these three disorders. Tagging @auschizm because it's highly related to that blog :D
Text transcribed below the cut because it's long!
Title: Can We Talk About The Overlap Between... AUTISM, ADHD, AND SCHIZOPHRENIA?
Description: You always hear people talking about AuDHD, but schizophrenia has the same if not more overlap with these disorders, and it's not talked about!
Let's start boosting schizophrenic people's voices. There's more to the disorder than just psychosis!
Graph based on my personal experience with schizophrenia, my experiences with autistic and ADHD communities, and the words of people with AuDHD themselves.
Made by @gray-gray-gray-gray on tumblr.
Schizophrenia Only
Typical age of onset between 15 and 54 years old
Before the onset/ first psychotic break, there is a "prodrome" where you have a drop in functioning
Reoccuring episodes of psychosis (Hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, etc)
Likely had less noticeable or covert symptoms pre-onset
Often daydreaming, 'in their own world', hyper-self-reflective, 'space cadet'
Autism Only
Need for familiarty & routine
Sudden disruptions to routine are highly distressing
ADHD Only
Craves new experiences & novelty
Autism & ADHD (AuDHD)
Interest-based nervous system (meaning attention & focus is activated based on personal interest, not how important something is)
Onset in very early childhood -- before age 12
Autism & Schizophrenia (Auschizm)
Self-soothing via repetitive behavior
Higher rates of catatonic symptoms
Social withdrawal or exclusion
Difficulties filtering speech
Flat affect
Alogia
Concrete and/or literal thinking
Higher rates of personality disorders, dissociative disorders, and trauma
Internally oriented behavior
Difficulties wording what they
want to say correctly & disorganized speech
Difficulties with insight into what is part of the disorder and what is neurotypial
ADHD & Schizophrenia (SchizoDHD)
Impulsivity & hard to sit still
Difficulties regulating attention & focus, also causing social cue difficulties
Difficulty keeping a daily routine
Jumping around or out of sequence speech
Forgetfulness
Failing to reach a clear end goal or point in speech
Less coherent progression from start to finish in stories
General difficulties with thinking clearly
Drawing blanks / losing train of thought often
Difficulties finding motivation to do things
Lots of energy some days, no energy other days
Troubles multitasking
Planning poorly or not at all
All Three
Stimming
Echolalia, echopraxia
Executive dysfunction
Sensory issues & overload
Emotional dysregulation
Interconnected/webbed thought
ND communication (infodumping, connecting ideas, shared interest bonding)
Increased risk of victimization
Hyperfixations
Higher rates of depression, anxiety, OCD, BFRBS, bipolar, suicidality, sleep issues, eating disorders, and substance abuse
Eye contact differences
Difficulties switching tasks
Masking
Hyperfocusing
Restlessness
Prone to boredom
Memory issues
Social situation difficulties
Time blindness
Difficulties with school, learning, and following tasks
Chronic disorder
RSD

THE GANGS ALL HERE 🗣️🔥‼️ information below the cut, “B” cast ( Doll, Lizzy, Thad) have not been included yet as they dont have a role in the main story yet. feel free to ask any questions, me and @kylelily123abc4 will do our best to answer them (:
UZI
Uzi is a 21 year old woman with an undergraduate in medical engineering, which she was coaxed into by her parents (Namely Khan). She is incredibly adept and smart and prefers the technicalities of weapons engineering, and majors in art on the side. She would like to do it full time, however her parents insist it’s not a “real job.” She volunteers at the local hospital N, V and J are relocated to from overseas so they can continue inpatient care until they are stable enough to be discharged and resume physio / psychotherapy as outpatients. She meets N during his time there and immediately clicks with him, and eventually begins to visit him on her off hours, and continues to visit him even after her contract ends. They end up establishing a relationship together and, after finding it is much less expensive commuting to school, moves in with N, V, J, Cyn and Tessa in their apartment for the semester.
She spent most of her childhood moving around and being bullied—the most significant moment having been when her first kiss was stolen by someone who only dated her because he was dared to.
Uzi is a big fan of all things anime, edgy humor, hot topic, and nightcore. she’s got the soul of an unabashed 2000s emo girl stuck in the modern day.
N
Private first class Nate (all his friends call him N) Is a 23 year old man who was fostered from a family in Utah alongside his sister Cyn under Tessa, another childhood friend, and the Elliot family in Melbourne Australia from the ages of 8-18. When of applicable age, he went back to the United States to enlist in the marines and live with Cyn, a former child prodigy who was scouted and given multiple scholarships due to record breaking academics and reflexes on simulator games.
He was severely traumatized during his first deployment overseas along with his other childhood friends, V, and J, after their humvee hit an IED during a routine supply run. All three were critically injured and the sole survivors of their team of 6. He, along with J and V spent a total of 12 hours alone in the desert before they were airlifted to an emergency hospital in germany, then, once stabilized, returned to the states to resume inpatient care in Salem, Oregon.
Despite his honorable discharge and severe ptsd diagnosis, N does his best to remain upbeat and positive, almost to a fault, oftentimes repressing “bad” thoughts or feelings.
He ends up meeting Uzi in the hospital and they form a relationship together, her eventually moving in and living with V, J, Him, Tessa, and Cyn in their flat after they’re discharged from the hospital.
J
Sergeant Jane (Only preferring J when around close friends) is a 26 year old trans woman who was fostered from an immigrant afghan family under Tessa, another childhood friend, and the Elliot family in Melbourne Australia from the ages of 4-18, having realized she was a woman very early in life. She began socially transitioning at 12, and began HRT as soon as she aged out of the system. She was the first to be involved with the Elliots and was pushed to enlist in the australian military, quickly moving up the ranks to sergeant and was eventually posted in the united states to assist in training other cadets. She was severely traumatized during her second deployment overseas along with her other childhood friends, V, and N after their humvee hit an IED during a routine supply run. All three were critically injured and the sole survivors of their team of 6. she, along with J and V spent a total of 12 hours alone in the desert before they were airlifted to an emergency hospital in germany, then, once stabilized, returned to the states to resume inpatient care in Salem, Oregon.
Having been their squad leader, J often blames herself for the incident, even if she doesn’t talk about it or say anything out loud. J is an ass kisser. She will do anything and everything to succeed and has a Holier Than Thou personality, often very uptight and not about any bullshit. Her relationship with N specifically is horrible, and she harbours lots of jealousy and resentment from their time growing up due to favoritism.
She has a long standing, massive crush on Tessa Elliot, her longtime confidant and friend, though it went unrequited for their entire childhood and into their early adult life, J often being subject to Tessa’s dating endeavours and crushes in the meantime.
V
Lance Corporal Victoria, (Who prefers to go by V present day) 4-18 who was fostered from a family in Vermont under Tessa, another childhood friend, and the Elliot family in Melbourne Australia from the ages of 8-18. She enlisted in the military alongside J and eventually N, and was transferred to the states to assist in training procedures for new cadets with J.
She was decommissioned during her second deployment overseas along with N and J after their humvee hit an IED during a routine supply run. All three were critically injured and the sole survivors of their team of 6. She took the brunt of the blast, sustaining the most severe wounds and was airlifted to an emergency hospital in germany, then, once stabilized, returned to the states to resume inpatient care in Salem, Oregon.
The doctors operating on her told her she would never walk again--V proved that wrong by walking the next week. It was a miracle—however V simply states it was due to “having that dog in her.”
She is very resilient, but is often grumpy with a dry sense of tone and humor. She used to have feelings for N when they were kids, but it's since faded as they grew and disappeared during their time in active duty. Though despite this, she still cares for him as a friend, even if she rarely shows it.
She is the first to be discharged, having been set up in an apartment downtown by Tessa, who lives with her and eventually is joined by N, J, Cyn, and eventually Uzi. She is a gym rat with a heavy workout regimen that she will make everyone else's problem if its interrupted.
CYN
Cynthia (Who ONLY goes by Cyn present day) is N's little sister. She is still in active duty in the military air-force. She was a child savant who graduated highschool at 14 and college at 18, moving on to become one of the best UAV operators in history, with successful missions reaching into the hundreds. Cyn is autistic and physically disabled, having been born with cerebral palsy, and uses forearm crutches as mobility aids--but make no mistake, she is incredibly intuitive and adept. often knock-kneed and walks with an awkward gate, and speaks with very ‘robotic’ mannerisms. She sometimes struggles to show empathy in a ‘socially normal way’ or have a conversational filter. She has a very dark sense of humor as well, that for those not used to her may find jarring or off putting. Cyn hates being referred to as a child or incompetent because of her appearance or her disability, she will even go to an extent to prove the point that she does not need assistance. Tends to be protective of N, to a lesser but still protective of V and J and much later down the line Uzi becomes a close friend of hers.
In her off time she enjoys painting warhammer figurines, collecting cards and playing video games. She has a very kitsch, macabre sense of interest, often owning eclectic, odd knick knacks and memorabilia, namely a taxidermied wombat she’s affectionately named “Suzie.”
TESSA
Dr Tessa James Elliot is a very talented surgeon working out of a public hospital in Brisbane, Australia, descending from a very rich family. She is N, V and J’s childhood friend and frequently travels to different parts of the world to assist in surgeries or specialist care. Tessa paused all of her work when she learned of their incident overseas, flying to America to personally attend to their care–with some bribery and finagling due to HIPPA not allowing biased treatment. She just cares too much to not do anything. Tessa is a joyful, social butterfly. Excellent bedside manner and a good sense of humor but sometimes comes off as socially awkward. She is J’s lifelong crush despite not being aware of it, having spent some time dating around but nobody ever seems to be the right fit. She often complains about her recent dating endeavors to J much to her chagrin.
Tessa is, for the lack of a better word, weird. Think Cyn with a little more charisma, often not having a conversational filter or saying things out of the blue. She is not disturbed by otherwise off putting things like death, bodily fluids, nudity, gore etc, and has a bit of a dark sense of humor that she portrays very upbeat and positively. She is incredibly smart and adept bookwise, however socially she comes up a bit short.
there is an alternative version of these guys however it is 18+ for nudity. you can see it on bluesky here and twitter here

I've been reading the Stepfather! Konig fic and I had just an idea. What if to get away and feel at least some safety reader fakes their death and joins the military with many fake names and constantly changes up themself to keep safe and away from König and Horangi?
Cw: DARKFIC, DUB-CON/NON-CON, STEPCEST, military, recruitment, enlisting, military inaccuracies, tell me if I missed any.
Where was the best place to hide? The last place they would look, right under their nose. You managed - somehow - to keep your papers a secret from them, you were lucky they dealt with things online on encrypted servers, keeping it as hush-hush as possible. Fortunately, there weren’t many requirements for enlisting, all they had asked was your age, level of education and citizenship, some vague papers about you and that was all. You bode your time, leaning on your freedom when you left the house to hit the gym to get a head start in your training, pack a bit of muscle and get into a tight routine to get used to it before you joined; and buying the few things you’d need to build you stage with the few materials and story you made up.
You were prepared when the time came, just a week before your training and your body thrummed with adrenaline and anxiety, slowly finishing off your plan. And when the time was right, you struck, vanishing with the car that you drove into the lake, you made sure that it was deep enough to be left untouched until you had at least finished your training. It was a stroke of luck, sheer luck that you made it to the base, flashing your papers and given a permit to meet the major of the base to receive your identification once you passed the examinations and interview.
“Welcome to hell, cadet!” Were the first words you heard in the mass, dressed in the black and white uniform of the navy you stood ramrod with others beside you.
They separated men and women in the early stages of training, once the selections were done, they’d mix both sex and leave them to train and learn together. It was a gruelling process, the physical and mental exhaustion of it all almost made you crash more than once, mind on the brink of frustration and muscles worn into painful bruises. You’d seen friends - made through nights of venting and moaning about life - and acquaintances quit early or halfway through the training and education. They were weeding out the weaker ones, the less competent and determined from the rest. You feared being picked of quitting, but you powered through it, all your blood, sweat and tears culminated to your graduation nearly eleven weeks later.
You could stand with pride in yourself, head held high as you received your praises from the major, his rough voice echoing through the room in congratulations. You took your oaths and were given a white uniform and a hat, the black cap and gold encrusted hat that gleamed under the sun. You were proud; you were happy; you felt accomplished and free. You thought of flying, to be and feel as free as the birds that soar the skies, perhaps you’d join the aviation branch of the Navy. It didn’t seem like such a bad idea, to be moved and passed around wherever you were needed, never staying in one place made finding you much harder if König and Horangi found your bluff.
But you’d gone so far, done so much to take things back or be taken back. You’d accomplished something with what little you had and you knew- You knew that your mother would be so proud of you for persevering.
“I miss you, mom,” you kissed the sole picture of your mother, the only thing you thought worth keeping, “I’m sorry, I miss you.”

Jared Padalecki Is Exactly What 'Fire Country' Needed
Yea he is!!
As Camden Casey, Bode Leone's (Max Thieriot) new boss, Padalecki shows off his impressive range as an actor. Who would've thought that from Gilmore Girls to Supernatural and Walker, and now on Fire Country, Padalecki would be routinely cast as characters who couldn't be more different? This time around, Padalecki plays a maverick, but an extremely likable one who has a legitimate reason for the chip on his shoulder. It turns out that Casey's entire unit died on a call because he didn't follow his gut, instead allowing himself to get bogged down by procedure and red tape. Haunted by being the only survivor, he trains cadets to learn from his mistakes and to run into the fire with the full intention of saving lives and not just avoiding legal controversy. According to an official CBS featurette on Padalecki's role on the show, he and series star and co-creator Max Thieriot have actually been friends for a long time off-camera. "We talked about it since day one," Padalecki reveals about his finding a spot on Fire Country. "He brings such a positive energy to the set and the people around him," Thieriot adds. Frankly, we can tell. Gabriela Perez actress Stephanie Arcila noted that Padalecki only spent about 10 minutes prepping for his introductory fight sequence at Smokey's, where he saves Bode's honor from some of Diego's (Rafael de la Fuente) old friends and instantly proves to be Season 3's breakout character. No one else on Fire Country is quite like Camden Casey, and his SoCal demeanor adds some flavor to a show where we've come to know the cast all too well. More than that, it's just fun to watch Jared Padalecki play such a different personality.
Bolded some of my favorite parts. There's more to the article but this section had some good stuff!
Link
I love that his reception is so well received! The spin-off vibes just keep getting stronger!

Hoshina Soshiro x Doctor!Reader AU, pt. 3
setting: even if you two are together, you still need to act formal in front of everyone
pairing: Hoshina Soshiro x Doctor!Reader (established relationship)
warnings: not applicable
notes: aaaand this one also can be read as a separate story! sorry for these parts being short, just need to take these drabbles out of my head as fast as possible x3
another parts of this AU: part 1 part 2 part 3 (current one) part 4 part 5 part 6
Subordination
You knew you needed to respect subordination between you and Soshiro when you were on public.
For others, you were no more than a vice-captain of Third Division and a simple doctor. Soft touches, lingering feelings of passion and devotion were all perfectly hid behind formal greetings, emotionless phrases and conversations filled with things that should be included in reports and medical forms, exactly as written in the protocol.
You were making medical rounds to see patients’ condition, provide additional treatment and make sure that everything was going as planned. It was a part of your every day routine, and you were doing everything to make your patients’ recover come as soon as possible.
“Doctor [Y/N],” dry and unemotional voice suddenly interrupted you on your way back to the medical office.
Of course it was Soshiro… Vice-captain Hoshina, to be precise.
“Yes, vice-captain?” you turned around to face him, his frowning face was showing hints of worry and exhaustion.
“One of our cadets is injured,” Soshiro said. “They stabbed themselves during the training session.”
“Stabbed?” you raised an eyebrow. “Are they using swords, too?”
“At least they’ve tried to,” Soshiro said with a small smile that had a hint of sympathy to the cadet who also preferred close combat over other fighting styles.
“Noted. Please escort them to my office,” you said and leaded the way to the small medical room filled with equipment and kits.
Cadet settled into a medical chair with anxious look on their face, their right hand visibly injured. Soshiro was standing near to the exit, leaned on doorframe with arms crossed.
“This injury won’t require any stitches,” you said after examination. “But you’ll need to reduce the load on this arm until you’re fully recovered.”
Cadet exhaled with a relieve, and Soshiro’s face lit up with a small, restrained smile.
“Vice-captain Hoshina,” you suddenly said. “I’ll ask you and cadet to fill in a small form about this incident. Feel free to seek my help if needed,” you gave Soshiro and cadet some report forms and started to sterilise all equipment that was used.
Vice-captain and cadet, after ten long minutes, have finally finished their small task. With a sigh of relief, cadet left the medical office just to meet their friends who were waiting for them outside.
You and Soshiro were finally left alone.
“This is actually so exhausting,” Soshiro finally said, coming closer to you with few small steps.
“Yeah, looking for your subordinates was always a hard task to complete,” you smiled, perfectly understanding how much energy Soshiro puts into training and educating his cadets and rookies.
“No, I’m not talking about them. They may be the pain in the ass, but still,” Soshiro smiled and bent just a little, looking over your shoulder as you check medical reports. “I’m talking about us.”
“And what is it?” you turned around to face Soshiro. It was something in his always half-lidded eyes that drew your attention. It was something sad but gentle at the same time.
“That constant need of maintaining subordination between you and me in front of others,” Soshiro exhaled and took your hand into his, his movements filled with love and respect.
“I know,” you nodded. You were kinda tired of these formalities, too, but they’ve needed to be done anyways. “But we can’t be all lovey-dovey in front of your subordinates, you know?”
“You’re right,” Soshiro chuckled. “Otherwise they won’t hop off me until I’m dead.”
You smiled widely and placed a kiss on Soshiro’s cheek, and his face at this moment was worthy of being captured in an art museum.
“I can do this at least when we’re alone,” you said.
Even if you two couldn't show your feelings in public, the moments of closeness and intimacy were twice as dear for both of you when you were alone.

you want to know what his deal is.
why the only facial expression he can manage is a scowl, why he seems so pent up.
rick grimes is a mystery to you.
some spooky backstory is written all over his face but there’s never been a clue of it otherwise - and you can only tell because you spend so much time watching him.
you never imagined yourself becoming obsessed with a man twice your age but here you are. you want to know what his face looks like when he cums. the older man is rotting your brain from the inside out.
it’s not until he stumbles upon you boxing alone in the empty gym that you realize it was on his mind too.
he doesn’t say anything upon entering and his footsteps are light but his reflection in the mirror gives him away. he’s watching from the stairwell as you go through your close combat training. it’s a rigorous routine recommended to you by one of your superiors that you feel deep in your core.
you pack power into every punch; trying to land blows strategically and not just wherever your own pent up sexual frustration sends them.
rick can’t help it when the once familiar straining in his pants starts up. he wordlessly runs a hand through his dark hair. despite the uneasy tension between the two of you, rick wants to get to know you better. not too well but well enough to know how you look after you get all of that energy out of your system.
he's lost in a daydream in the sleek underground training facility. the sound of footsteps exiting to the right breaks him out of his thoughts - thoughts of bending you over the weight lifting bench.
you traipse into the women’s locker room off the forest green paneled hallway.
he shouldn’t be thinking about following you.
you’re way too young for him.
before former private grimes can fully talk himself out of it, the image of you during one of your trainings materializes in his mind. he was supervising the new cadets - you, formerly - and you were stretching with the rest of your counterparts. you’d been in a standing straddle when you two locked eyes with each other.
the delicate balance of maintaining eye contact while not outright staring at your ass only took a few seconds to blur. rick was quickly turning his head and keeping his eyes averted.
ever since then, you’d caught hurried glimpses of each other. sometimes it felt like the older man’s eyes lingered on you though, like he was boring into you on another level.
you’d be lying if you said he wasn’t on your mind.
being freshly twenty a decade into the apocalypse didn’t make for the best dating scene. yeah, dating someone who could easily be your father was wild, but you didn’t have many other viable options. rick pushed all the right buttons for you no one else could.
as the water cascades down your back under the showerhead, your hand drifts below your abdomen to cup your sensitive bundle of nerves. you push past the semi-thick layer of hair covering your folds until your pointer finger is dipping inside of you.
despite it being your own fingers penetrating you, you still moan out loud, thankful that the showers are so empty and remote enough that you can enjoy having them all to yourself. you exhale and speed up your ministration. you add a finger for the added challenge. a third is sliding towards your entrance when you hear the shuffle of feet.
you cock your head. there's no reason for anyone else to be in here. there weren't many other female officers and all of the ones you knew trained here on much different schedules.
it's probably just the loud banging fan you and one of the female helicopter pilots had bitched together about. you ignore it and go back to your shower, sticking your head back enough that the shower is massaging your scalp, meanwhile your fingers massage your clit and your spongy insides.
god, you wish rick was here. his fingers were pretty large. coming in his embrace had to feel so fulfilling.
your taboo thoughts are interrupted by a loud banging. removing your fingers is an inconvenient affair, as you can't ignore that so you slowly creep towards the shower entrance, slipping past the curtain to see the subject of your shower fantasies standing before you.
the sage green towel you'd brought with is laying soaked on teh tiled floor while rick turns and smiles sheepishly at you. "this isn't what it looks like."
"i'm sure it's not."
rick averts his eyes and rotates to face the lockers. "i'm sorry. i can get you another towel."
you suddenly remember that you're on your feet naked. a rose blush colors your face. your cheeks grow even redder when you notice the massive bulge in his pants.
"is this turning you on?"
"what?"
"is seeing me naked turning you on?" you elaborate. please turn around, you hope.
"i'm not looking at you," he chides your name. "that's why i asked if you wanted a towel."
"if you didn't want to fuck me you would've left already."
regardless of facing the other way, rick's entire body tenses. a select few of his muscles twinge.
"you walked in on me-,"
"-that was an accident."
"yeah, yeah, rick," you chuckle.
the older man is raising an eyebrow when he turns around to face you. "i'm sorry, i didn't mean to see you like-like this but don't forget that i'm your commanding officer."
“i’ll forgive you if you fuck me.”
a gasp exits your mouth when you observe him grasp his crotch at your words.
"your place or mine?"
it's not long before you've found semi-appropriate apparel to ditch the gym in as you follow rick back to his townhouse on base.
the soldier is pushing you through the door. it doesn't seem like he cares when you stumble across the threshold. he just slaps your ass, gesturing to the stairs.
your feet carry you robotically up the tiny staircase until you're walking into a bedroom. you don't spend long on your feet though because rick is shoving you onto the bed roughly. you want to be taken aback at the treatment; however you can't say that you're surprised that rick is such a rough lover.
“you want me to take it off?”
rick is referring to the black hand edging nearer to your spandex clothed pussy.
you shake your head. “i don’t mind,” you assure him, shutting your hips closer to a black, prosthetic finger.
"easy enough," he remarks and leans down to capture your velvety lips in a bruising battle of tongues that you lose immediately.
he goes to pull down your shorts but you stop him. you sit up on your knees and lay your hands over the strict outline in his pants.
"fuck," he rasps.
"want me to suck you off?"
"only if you get on your knees now."
he doesn't have to tell you twice. you undo his pants in olympic record time, lapping at the head of his already engorged cock. you don't tease him; his shaft is hitting the back of your throat before you know it and he has to breathe deeply to prevent himself from thrusting the rest of him down your throat.
rick had seen the way your eyes had widened at the sight of his erection back in the showers. you probably didn't anticipate this kind of behavior from a man his age. he wants to be gentle for you but that would just make it personal.
you're a junior officer who he should not be fraternizing like this with but he can't resist the hot, suction your tight little mouth is providing. not when you take him so well.
"good job, sweetheart," he praises. "a little lower," he plants his hands in your hair and manually forces your lips farther down his girthy length. "that's it, honey."
it isn't long before his dick is covered in spit and with every thrust, you're fighting off a gag. you do your best to swallow around his cock, reveling in the moans erupting from him as his hands dug further into your soft, gossamer hair.
“take a break, sweetheart,” rick pulls you off of his cock.
“you about ready?” he inquires, lazily pumping a prosthetic finger into you and his other hand around his cock.
you nod eagerly. he doesn't say anything - just works another unforgiving, bionic finger into you. "rick!" you whimper.
the southerner sends you an icy blue glare. "what was that?"
you gulp. "i'm sorry, sir."
rick smirks at you. "are you?"
"mhmm."
"how will you make it up to me?"
your hips writhe against his soft mattress beneath you. "sir, i want to make it up to you with my tight pussy, sir!"
his smirk grows. "ready whenever you are."
"i'm ready now, sir. i'm ready for your big cock."
you thought you'd be following along but you completely lose the plot when rick replaces his cyborg fingers with his fleshy cock and you're screaming.
"shh, hush!" rick slaps a hand over your mouth.
you scream muffled around his hand as he inserts each punishing inch into you. the stretch is intense and searing and you think you're going to pass out but after ninety seconds of feeling like rick would tear you part - you convulse around him.
"damn, already?"
you want to be embarrassed but you're hard pressed to care as your senior officer continues his brutal assault on your inexperienced pussy.
is he in my cervix? you ponder.
you crane your head backwards to spectate as the older soldier tunnels in and out of you. he has to be rearranging your kidneys and he has to be loving it from how dilated his pupils are. your tall, dark, and handsome superior is lost in your unrelenting cunt, head tipping back when he paints your plush insides white for the first time.
returning to earth momentarily, he discovers your eyes so intently laser focused on his. he scowls.
you grimace when he briefly slides out of you, but any complaints are momentarily paused when you get a mouth full of pillow.
this feels wrong. like he shouldn’t be fucking the young woman whose twentieth birthday his small battalion celebrated just the other week. it’s arduous to convince himself that this all wrong though - how can he when you’re clenching around him and mewling his name?
“rick!”
“you plannin’ on wakin’ up the rest of base?”
you shake your head, struggling to contain your moans - how can you when the older man is fucking the daylights out of you?
“be a good girl and shut up.” rick commands, reaching around to prod a finger at your lips and into your mouth. without asking, you go ahead and suck on his firm digits. the groans you elicit have you murmuring around his finger. “much better,” he commends you, rewarding you with a playful slap on your ass.
the sting reverberates through your pussy. the corresponding cry that comes from you only causes the man mercilessly filling you up to snort, landing another spank. he chuckles when you pulse around him.
“again already?”
has anyone ever told you you’re too big? you want to ask, but without the energy you just nod and hum.
the soldier’s speed only becomes more frantic. you can tell he’s finally close again from the way he’s digging his fingernails into your hips and burying himself deep inside of your already coated cunt.
yeah, he has to be my touching my cervix. you decide. probably ripped it open.
you feel ripped open by rick. it doesn't matter though, he doesn't slow even as your sopping cunt is leaking with your slick and his first load. his second release reaches even deeper inside of you, being plugged by rick's thick length as he collapses on top of you.
rick rolls over slightly, graying chestnut curls falling in his face as he gathers you closer to him. still inside of you, he's hard like bedrock. a hand reaches up to squeeze at your chest.
you whine when his mouth washes over your rosy bud and he grazes his teeth as well. "rick, too much." you pout at him, lips swollen.
“you think I’m done?”

morning routines
characters: donquixote rosinante/corazon, gn!reader warnings: fluff a/n: - in my household, we live, laugh, love rosinante - LOOK AT MY HUSBAND!!!! I DON'T CARE IF HE'S CLUMSY, I'LL PROTECT HIM *shaking fists in fury at oda* why did you have to kill him?!?!? - feedback is appreciated!
Before (Marine life)
early mornings with dawn breaking through the clouds // staring out the window overlooking the training grounds // inhaling enough donuts as breakfast before sengoku or garp catches him // being thrown to the side on accident in an attempt to wake up smoker // ironing his marine uniform
The beeping was the first thing to wake him up. Loud, repetitive beep noises from the alarm clock would cause Rosinante to groan and pull the tailor-made blanket over his head in an attempt to muffle the noise. Although, he would get out of bed a few minutes later, having been too awake to go back to bed. After getting out of bed and folding it properly (old habits died hard, he guessed), Rosinante turned to stare at the slumbering Smoker.
He's heard rumors from the new cadets of his roommate. How merciless he was in their training. How fearsome he seemed, so fearsome that they didn't even dare to look him in the eye when talking. But when Rosinante spies the little trail of drool from his mouth and his messy bedhead, he can only snicker to himself.
"Wake up, Smoker!" Rosinante shakes him before eyes widening at a sudden thought. 'Wait, doesn't he have those instincts-'
Smoker sat up suddenly, hand outstretched and pushing Rosinante towards the wall. Wispy smoke trailed out of his hands as he used them to boost Rosinante's shove against the wall. The blond crashed against the wall, groaning at the pain that blossomed.
"Mornin', Rosinante..." Smoker grumbled, running a hand through his white locks. "What time is it?"
He just groaned, head upside down and his lanky legs sticking upwards. "Good morning to you too, Smoky."
Smoker's eye twitched before he launched a pillow into Rosinante's face.
But in the end, Rosinante's morning routine didn't change much throughout the years. Maybe there was a promotion or two, which would result in him adding a few more steps to his routine. An ironing of his new uniform (which would cause him to burn himself sometimes) or the plop of his cap on his messy blond locks -- the usual. His routine was fixed and sometimes, as Rosinante stared into the mirror as he brushed his teeth, he wished it could be a bit more...fun.
After (With you)
extra toothbrush next to his // containers of his favorite make-up brand next to your facial products // sitting on a stool and your weight straddling his waist as your careful hands applied his signature make-up // a kiss to your cheek and earning one in return, causing him to grin boyishly
Rosinante smiles, waking up with an arm looped around your body and your legs tangled with his. Your head is pressed onto his chest and your hair is scattered across his heart-patterned pajamas. He almost didn't want to wake up but the sunlight that streamed in through the window disturbed your slumber. You blinked wearily.
"Morning," His voice was raspy and he cleared his throat to try again. You looked at him, eyes still puffy yet filled with a gentle sort of love that never failed to make him melt. "Good morning to you too, love."
You get up, stretching your arms and wincing at the audible 'pop'! sounds. Rosinante stands up and takes a step, only to trip over literally nothing and into your expectant arms. He chuckles to himself, too used to his clumsiness and you press a kiss to his lips.
"Falling for me so early in the morning?" You laugh and pull him by the hand to the bathroom. It's practically muscle memory at this point - hand him his toothbrush and toothpaste before reaching out for your facial products. He pops a kiss to the top of your head in thanks, releasing a loud 'muah!'
"Rosi!" You playfully gasp as he drops his head onto your shoulder and nuzzling himself in the crook of your collarbone. His messy golden hair tickles your skin and your grin only grows wider. "So this is the feared Commander of the Marines?"
"Mhmph," You feel him nod into your skin. "Fear me!"
You lean down, spitting out the toothpaste and looking into the mirror to wash away remnants. You spy Rosinante's lovesick stare, eyes in the mirror meeting yours and you can practically see hearts.
"So scary," You make jazz hands, giggling as Rosinante puffs up his chest. "You're too cute to be scary, love."
As always, whenever he hears his nickname, he melts into a puddle.
"I've been domesticated," He pulls you into a hug and with his tall height, he easily swallows you into the fabric of his pajamas. His arms wrap around your body like a cocoon of warmth. Rosinante's next words are muffled. "So you have to take care of me."
You laugh, nodding against his chest. Rosinante presses a kiss onto the top of your forehead and you melt.
"Of course," You pull him gently by the collar to press a kiss to his forehead. Then to his cheeks. His eyelids. His nose. Finally, his lips and you remain there for a couple of seconds before leaning backward. His eyes flutter and a blush crawls onto his face. "You're mine, aren't you?"
"I'm yours," Rosinante agrees, slightly breathless.

Danny Flies Again
Based on a chatfic with @legowerewolf with input from @jenesaispourquoi
(pre-swagger bishie, ~1100 words)
Danny Fenton was bored. Don’t misunderstand – MIT was amazing and between classes and homework, he was never short on stuff to do. And yet, he missed the ghosts. The flying, the fighting, the (eventual) camaraderie; there wasn’t any of that.
His first year, he’d spent his free time exploring the Boston area, invisibly chasing trains, exploring the various tunnels, and haunting the ghost station near Harvard while doing his homework. By his second year, he’d already explored everything locally and, now that he declared a major (aerospace engineering, to nobody’s surprise, alongside a linguistics minor, to everyone’s surprise, not least his own) had had more projects to keep up on, so his exploration was limited to chasing Amtrak down to New York and exploring their tunnels when he had a rare free long weekend. He needed an outlet for all his extra energy. He needed a sport. Of course, he’d never been all that athletic, and then it would have been cheating to use his powers in a competition. Then, one chilly November weekend, Sam was visiting and wanted to go to a football game, for her generally-inscrutable reasons.
There he saw the MIT cheer squad for the first time. A surprisingly evenly-gendered group, they looked like they were having fun out on the field. (Probably more fun than the football players, if he was honest.) And, after learning they didn’t go to cheer competitions (there were plenty of other ways for an MIT student to compete, and they were all quite busy), he knew he’d found his answer.
Two years later, Danny was a fixture on the team. Between his strength (easily the strongest base on the team) and light weight (definitely not cheating with a bit of flight), he could pinch-hit in any position and could even do some completely absurd aerial moves to top it off. (The one time the cheer squad staged a re-enactment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was probably their crowning achievement. Even the opposing team stopped playing to watch when Danny did a Grayson quadruple flip between the cheerleader towers representing Minas Ithil and Minas Anor to deliver a giant styrofoam ring to the Mount Doom filled with acetone to dissolve the ring. Everyone agreed the cheer squad had won that game, even after the NCAA fined them for having fifteen liters of flammable chemicals on the playing field. The game was replayed two weeks later with the cheer squad banned from the stadium; Northeastern won.)
The next game was the annual game against West Point. The Army, reasonably, always treated this as a warm-up game, so the cheer squad often used it as a trial run for their next big spectacle. This year, just because they could, the routine was set to “Defying Gravity” from the musical Wicked. However, in lieu of rigging up wire work over a football field (and possibly getting another fine from the NCAA), at the climax of the song, Danny would be launched from a trebuchet across the field and caught by his teammates on the other side.
—
It had been a rough four years for Dash Baxter. He hadn’t been able to scrape together a football scholarship, but he was determined to get out of Amity and away from his dad at any cost. Out of options, he applied to the army officer school and hoped he could figure out a degree there and maybe play a little football. He started off with a kinesiology major, but without his home pressures, found he enjoyed the math classes more and transferred to an environmental engineering major with a minor in Grand Strategy (it sounded cool as hell, okay? and it turned out to be super fun, to boot). After a lot of work, he managed to earn a spot on the Army football team. (At one of the away games at Notre Dame, his dad tried to show up. As soon as anyone realized who this was, two dozen army cadets and a handful of lieutenants “escorted” the elder Baxter to his car and off campus, making it abundantly clear that if he tried to come where he wasn’t wanted again, he might find himself on some very inconvenient lists.)
Dash found himself looking forward to the game against MIT. While the Engineers almost never won, they also weren’t pushovers, so it was always a good game.
—
The first half of the game was lackluster; it seemed nobody really had their heart in it and the bleachers had barely anyone in them. Then the cheerleaders started their halftime show, and Kristen Chenoweth’s Glinda started ranting. The squad’s routine was fairly standard until much of the team started hustling across the field as the song picked up pace. Then, as Idina Menzel declared that “everyone deserves a chance to fly”, there was a resounding twang-thwock and one of the MIT cheermen was hurtling across the field at a rather alarming rate, 25 feet in the air, having been sent there by the trebuchet everyone had been politely ignoring. (Why is there a trebuchet on the football field? Why not? It’s MIT, of course they have a trebuchet, and it’s not like the city will let them put it on the street.)
Three thoughts crossed Dash’s mind as the flying student crossed the field. Firstly, should he try to catch them and, more to the point, can he do so? (The answers to those questions were “probably yes” and “definitely no”; the kid was headed for an unfortunate encounter with section 23L, not the cheer squad that was supposed to catch him on the field.) Secondly, that said student was very very attractive. And, thirdly, that he seemed awful familiar. Just before impact with the stands, however, the flier slowed significantly as if they’d hit an invisible net and dropped to the stands, uninjured. It was then that Dash realized who this was: his sometime punching bag and (though it took him long enough to figure it out) crush, Danny Fenton.
—
Danny spent most of the time over the field cursing out whoever had fucked with the counterweight’s mass since they’d checked it last. How was he going to get out of this without getting the army on his (ghostly) tail? Hopefully nobody will notice him just… not hitting the bleachers and then calmly walk it off as if this wouldn’t have been fatal to anyone else.
—
After the game, the cheer squad was headed into an immediate postmortem while campus security ensured nobody went near the trebuchet before they decided if the cops had to be called when one of the army players hustled across the field, calling Danny’s name.

reunification day - d.a.
Dain Aetos x reader part two of Dain and Love's story words: 2.6k 🏷: no book spoilers really, set pre-Fourth Wing, feminine reader but no pronouns used, this one is pretty tame and fluffy if you don't think too hard about the implications of literally every word, Col. Aetos makes an appearance and is a total jerk, as usual, delving into Dain's ~issues~ a bit, and hopefully showing a little more of Love's personality. I really like this one. a lot. I hope you do too. no other girlfriends mentioned this time, but can anyone guess who a certain someone was looking for before the speeches started?
It’s been over a year since you’ve spent this much time getting ready for anything. You’ve missed this feeling, sitting in front of your mirror humming a soft tune as you go through your routine, doing up your hair -- that part is made much easier with your signet, the strands curling and smoothing and pinning themselves to your liking while you darken your eyelashes and brush through your eyebrows, glossing your lips and making everything soft and shiny.
It’s a nice change of pace from your usual rushed mornings at the school, but it doesn’t feel the same, not how it used to, when you’d do all of this with a smile, genuinely excited for the occasion, for the opportunity to take a break from the training and the preparing-for-war to spend time with your family at their formal gatherings, with singing and dancing and food and all the trappings of Tyrrish culture -- because the occasion you’re preparing for right now is a holiday celebrating the anniversary of Navarre making those things illegal.
Either way, you look damn good, and you’re going to let everybody in attendance see it.
“Your friends are outside,” Cosa reports — you’d told them not to wait for you, and they know better than that, anyway, especially when you have a reason to take your time getting ready like this.
With one last adjustment to the skirt of your dress, and one more lingering glance at yourself in the mirror, you drape the long silk wrap over your shoulders and slip out your door, heading down the hall out to the courtyard, where the party — if one could call it that — is just getting started, cadets trickling in slowly and settling into their formations.
You spot Dain in his usual place in the block. Of course he’d be one of the first to get here.
“You clean up nicely,” you greet, brushing a piece of fluff from the collar of his uniform. You let your fingertips skim over the broad expanse of his shoulder, lingering perhaps a second too long before you pull your hand back.
He represses a shiver, his cheeks reddening. “You too,” he manages. “You’re… wow.”
You smile at how flustered he is, at the blush spreading across his cheeks and his difficulty forming complete sentences. “Thank you. I may have a shitty relationship with this holiday, but I’ll take the excuse to be pretty for an evening.”
“You’re always pretty,” he says quietly, still looking at you.
It’s a compliment you’ve gotten from dozens of men before, one you usually brush off, but your heart skips hearing it from the one man who hasn’t been falling at your feet all year.
“He thinks I’m pretty,” you whisper to Cosa, unable to keep the smile off your face.
She sounds amused. “Of course he does. Now, are you going to do something about it?”
That is the question; but she should know by now that you don’t chase after anything or anyone, especially not men.
“Thank you,” you reply warmly.
It’s obvious that he doesn’t know where to go from here, what to say next.
You’re standing at eye level with him, or close to it, for the first time ever, and he can’t look away; mesmerized by the color of your irises and the flutter of your eyelashes as you blink, the barely-there shimmer coating your eyelids.
“Are you wearing heels?” he asks, finally putting it together.
You nod, shifting the long skirt of your dress to show him the simple black stilettos underneath, thick silk ribbons wrapped around your ankles to keep them in place, tied with perfect bows.
He’s in over his head. Thankfully the next sentence that comes out of his mouth isn’t about how much he’d like to kneel down and tug at the ribbons until the bows came undone, to slide the shoes off and…
“Did you really cross the parapet with those in your bag?” he asks, still looking at them.
“I did,” you answer, smiling. “They’re my favorites — they were a gift from my favorite brother. And they’re black, so they’re codex-approved.”
Fair enough.
It stands to reason that you’d have a favorite pair of shoes, and a collection of them back home — in the year that he’s known you, he’s learned that you place a high value on your physical appearance, and you aren’t afraid to modify your uniform within the bounds of regulation, finding subtle ways of making it your own.
You settle into your usual spot between him and Sawyer, who looks to be searching for someone in the crowd, his shoulders sinking when he realizes they aren’t there. You offer him a soft smile that he returns silently, your attention returning to the dais just as the clock strikes seven.
“I should have asked Bodhi what his bet was on the length of the speeches,” you tell Cosa, preparing yourself for a very boring next thirty minutes. She doesn’t respond.
It's a bit unfair that her and her friends get the evening off while you’re forced to listen to these self-labeled war heroes prattle on about patriotism and the importance of this terrible holiday as if you and your compatriots aren’t even here.
“Twenty-eight minutes,” she relays after a few seconds.
You try not to laugh. “Tell him I say thirty-two, and the winner gets ten Krown.”
Another short pause. “He finds these terms acceptable.”
You subtly shift your weight back and forth between your feet throughout the speeches — which add up to thirty-one minutes, if you count the awkward transitions between them — having grown unused to the heeled shoes in the last year of wearing flat black boots every day.
You’re finally dismissed, the formations breaking as riders move around to find their friends for the rest of the evening. You turn toward third wing, looking for Imogen, who will be the easiest to spot with her unconventional hair color — you’re sure she absolutely despises this whole thing, but especially the required dress.
“Cadet Aetos,” someone calls, and he freezes at the voice for a split second before turning toward it.
The colonel insignia on the man’s collar and the shape of his jaw is enough for you to connect the dots — that’s Dain’s father, and he’s approaching with both General Sorrengail and King Tauri in tow.
You’ve just spotted Imogen and Bodhi, but you can’t leave now, not when three of the aforementioned war heroes are looking directly at you. You plaster a smile onto your face, adjusting your shawl. “Your Majesty, General, Colonel,” you greet in order of rank, extending a perfect curtsy to the king with a polite smile and a nod of the head to the others.
The monarch smiles back, but the officers don’t.
“I don’t believe we’ve been introduced,” the Colonel says, turning his gaze to you. Ice spreads through your veins, and for a moment you wonder if he possesses some physiological signet that he’s using on you, or if he’s just that cold and calculating because he knows exactly who you are.
But neither of those options explain why the quadrant’s poster boy is looking at this uniformed officer — his own father — like a wolf that’s about to bite.
You give him a slight dip of your chin in deference. “Cadet Callwell, sir. Second squad, flame section, fourth wing — the same as your son. I can see the family resemblance,” you add with a disarming smile.
Dain winces beside you.
Your graceful response doesn’t seem to have thawed things between you and Aetos Senior any further, but luckily, someone changes the subject of conversation; King Tauri himself. “Tell me, cadets, how are you finding your studies?”
“Very well, your Majesty,” you answer with a polite smile. “We are fortunate to have such experienced and knowledgeable professors.”
You nudge Dain’s foot with yours, silently prodding him to say something.
“Yes,” he agrees after a few seconds, “Fortunate indeed. The last year has been a challenge, but one that I know will prepare us to serve our country well.”
That is exactly what the King wants to hear. “And how fortunate am I, to have such valiant students with such bright futures ahead of them.”
“You flatter us, Your Majesty,” Dain responds, finally having found his voice.
General Sorregail still hasn’t said a word, watching the pair of you silently.
The Colonel gives you both a curt nod. “Thank you, Cadets. That will be all.”
Dain bows, and you drop another curtsy to the king, earning yourselves another fond smile before you turn away, but as you cross the courtyard, your blood is boiling on Dain’s behalf. Colonel Aetos hadn’t even spared him a smile. No loving touch, no real goodbye for his only son whom he may very well never see again, no use of his name, just Cadet?
Dain speaks first once you’re out of their earshot, sounding stunned. “I don’t think Tauri even realized you were marked. How did you…”
“It’s a party trick of mine,” you answer, stopping to sit on a small stone bench by one of the courtyard’s open archways. “One I learned very quickly after I got this.”
You let the silk drape drop from your shoulders, exposing the smoky relic trailing up your arm. Dain’s eyes catch on it immediately, like they do every time you’re not wearing long sleeves, studying the intricate swirls that don’t seem to follow any particular pattern, winding up and down your arm near-randomly.
“It’s the first thing anyone sees about me, or any of my friends. But I figured out that if I was perfect in every other regard, if I was charming enough and followed all the rules and did everything correctly, they wouldn’t notice it,” you say, gazing up at the stars.
It’s a remarkably clear night, several of the summer constellations visible, but he remains focused entirely on you as you continue.
“The thing people don’t realize is that we’re all from “good families”, or we were, before they killed our parents. The Laurents were one of the most successful families in Tyrrendor before their assets were seized. So were the Durrans. Xaden is technically a Duke, now that he’s of age, but his duchy was burnt to a crisp.
My point is, we all know how to stand on ceremony and lay a proper table and dance a waltz and speak to authority figures, but people see the relics, or the names on our flight jackets, or how we speak or braid our hair or anything that shows our culture, and they forget all that. They just see a pack of rabid dogs.
Navarre used to respect us, to look at us like we were valuable. And then once we asked for not just a seat at their table, but for a table of our own, they decided we weren’t worth the dirt our houses were built on, and that everything we touched was tainted. They torched my mother’s rose garden and shattered every window in the house the day they arrested my father, just because they could.
So I know it sounds pathetic, or bratty, or whatever other adjectives you want to use, but being able to wear high heels and makeup and a pretty dress once a year is important to me, even if it’s for a holiday celebrating the death of so many people I loved, because it’s the only time that I get to feel like the girl I used to be, who didn’t have to fight for her life every day, who had parents that loved her more than anything in the world, and who was looked at like a person, not a fugitive or a liability or a wild animal.”
“It’s not pathetic,” he says softly. “I know I will never truly understand, but I get it. And for whatever it’s worth, you look perfect.”
“Thank you,” you whisper.
He starts another sentence that’s interrupted by the crackle of fireworks exploding into the air, startling both of you. He laughs, a sound you’ve hardly ever heard over the last year, but you like it.
You drape the silk back around your shoulders to fight the chill of the night air and pat the cold stone next to you, inviting him to sit. He accepts, perching on the other end of the bench and looking up at the night sky, keeping a respectful distance between you as the show continues, a few minutes of comfortable quiet.
With one last fizzling red firework, the display ends, and you hear applause from the other side of the courtyard, where most of the quadrant is gathered.
“Dain,” you say quietly, throwing him off balance, “I wanted to apologize earlier, but…”
“What for?” he asks, that cute little confused look on his face, head tilted and brows pinched. It would make you smile if you weren’t about to rip the bandage clean off, to end whatever this is before it can even start.
You choose your words delicately. “Tauri may not have realized who I am, but your father certainly did, and judging by the way he left things with you, he was clearly upset by it. If that’s going to have consequences for you, that he found you talking to me…”
“Oh, he’s always been like that,” he dismisses. “He’s never been one for any kind of affection. I’ve learned not to take it personally.”
It all makes sense now, why Dain is… like that, why he never touches you, why you’re always just Cadet Callwell to him and never anything else, why he’s so strict and by the book; the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
But from the two minutes you’d spent with the Colonel, you can tell that Dain is twice the man he’ll ever be; not cold and uncaring, not prejudiced or cruel… he might even have room for someone like you in his heart.
You shouldn’t get your hopes up about that.
“Still… I’m sorry,” you say softly. “If he gets mad at you about it, say the word and I’ll keep my distance, or ask to be reassigned. I don’t want to make things tense between you.”
“It’s fine,” he reassures. “I’m sorry he made you uncomfortable. He tends to have that effect on people. It’s part of the reason I didn’t have many friends growing up— the other kids were scared of him.”
He smiles, but you can tell there’s a tender wound underneath. “And I wanted to say it earlier, too, but thank you. For helping me not look like a total idiot in front of the king, and for showing me a new perspective.”
You smile — not the fake one he’d seen you give Tauri, but a real smile, one that makes your eyes sparkle like the stars. “Of course.”
“Your friends are probably looking for you,” he says quietly, and you startle as you realize he’s right, that you’d completely forgotten about finding them, too focused on impressing the King, and then you hadn’t wanted to abandon Dain after that conversation… It’s not like you wanted to spend time with him or anything. You definitely wouldn’t choose him over your friends, right?
You rise from the bench, smoothing a hand over your skirt. “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight,” he replies, giving you one last look, soaking up the sight of you in that dress before you walk away and things go back to normal between you: regular uniforms tomorrow morning, and your usual rivalry and bickering at formation, with your friends constantly watching the pair of you and scrutinizing his every move.
If you hadn’t each inherited the wars of your fathers, maybe then this could work — but then you would never have met.
He doesn’t know if that would be better or worse.

To the dark I said pour and forgot to say when
pairings: Levi Ackerman x reader
genre: hurt/comfort, angst
summary: It's starting to become too much for you, training the recruits just to watch them die. You take pride in your position within the scouts, but pride can't suffocate the growing guilt. Luckily, Levi is there to help pull you together.
warning: mentions of overthinking, anxiety, and breakdowns
@humanitys-strongest-bamf, since you wanted to be tagged once it was finished! <3 Hope it's still okay to tag you in!
word count: 2,491
ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/55262311
It had been a while since he had seen you, not since earlier that morning on the training grounds. You had asked if he could take over training the recruits for you, the cold and crisp morning air had felt unusually tense when you approached him, almost as if he could sense the war raging behind your eyes.
You hate having to pass up duties like that, guilt tearing you apart as you think of the long list of responsibilities that he's had to put aside for you. Not to mention that you enjoy training the cadets. You enjoy watching them grow stronger each day and doing all you can to give them the best chance they can have within the Survey Corps.
Maybe that's why you passed the morning's session along to Captain Levi instead.
His piercing eyes followed your every move as you tried to act natural. Your shaking hands tightly gripping your biceps as you crossed your arms, throwing him a sweet smile while you made the request. The fact that he hadn’t mentioned the evergrowing paperwork awaiting him on his desk had shocked you, the common tease often thrown between you going unused, yet you didn’t dare question it in case it ruined your chance of shifting routines.
You simply thanked him before quickly retreating after he slowly agreed to do so, missing the way his eyebrows crinkled with unease.
You take pride in your position as one of the squad leaders within the Scouts, a position you take very seriously and have worked hard to achieve. While you know better by now, you can’t help but get attached to the people under your command. How could you not with so many different and young personalities looking up to you for guidance? You care for them and want to see them thrive.
Yet each new attachment brings a fresh crack in your heart whenever a mission goes badly. No amount of training or lectures can prevent the inevitability of the world you live in; while you wish for the best when it comes to your cadets, sometimes the world wishes otherwise.
The world is cruel and the titans are merciless.
You have lost many soldiers under your command, some of whom you consider friends. You still see their faces when you try to close your eyes, guilt flooding through you whenever you realise you have forgotten a name. You can’t remember the last time you slept the whole night instead of being haunted by the suffocating past.
How can you train these fresh faces when you have so many to remember already?
Are you even capable of training them after losing so many?
What gives you the right to survive after so many have fallen?
The thoughts are relentless as you rush into your room, you slam the door shut behind you before diving into the worn mattress on the bed. The familiar sting of tears is the only warning you get before the dam breaks and all the unwanted feelings you had bottled up begin to rush down your cheeks.
You push your face deeper into the pillow, wishing that the thin fabric would drown out the thoughts rattling around your skull. You feel miserable as your mind torments you relentlessly and a part of you feels bitter that it couldn’t wait until nightfall before starting its assault. Your mind couldn’t even give you the decency of letting you hide your shame in the shadows.
The golden rays of sunlight flowing in through the window taunt you, giving the room a peaceful haze and ignoring the despair within. You stare up at the soft light, the river of tears silently flowing down your cheeks and onto the pillow, as you simply watch the silver specs of dust float around you.
Your tears grow and your breathing quickens, how dare you appreciate such a sight when so many you care for are now unable to?
You weakly hit the pillow, as if you could transfer the thoughts out of your mind and into its damp cotton prison instead.
You don’t know how much time has passed, but from the busy commotion echoing around the headquarters, you can guess that training has since finished. You’re not surprised when Levi eventually finds you, although you hate him seeing you like this.
He slowly walks over to you, and the sight of your tear-soaked pillow causes his heart to clench. He had a feeling something was off when you had spoken to him and he regrets not stopping you and asking then and there.
"Hey, talk to me."
Levi's voice is unusually soft as he takes in your red-rimmed eyes, slightly swollen from the hours spent crying. His eyebrows are furrowed in concern as he reaches his arm out, hovering just above your shoulder, almost as if he's conflicted on whether he should touch you or not in your current state. He quickly makes up his mind as he gives it a comforting squeeze. You timidly look up at him, finally meeting his gaze. Even through the blur of tears, you can see the worry on his face as his usual mask of composure slips.
"You'll think I'm pathetic." You say quietly. If it were anyone else, you would have ushered them out of the room by now, content to be left alone to drown in your self-doubts. If it were anyone else, it would have been an order, but it just had to be one of the few members ranking higher than you who had come to check up on you.
If you were in any other mood, you might have tried to jokingly order him away, teasing him with his rank in a way you know he pretends to hate. Instead, you simply sigh. You know he’s unlikely to drop the subject when it involves you, even more so when he’s concerned. And as much as you hate to admit it, you’ve given him multiple reasons to be.
"I won't."
The sincerity of his voice makes you freeze momentarily, part of you would be fine with him shrugging and walking away, silently agreeing and leaving you alone to deal with it. It would sting, giving you yet another thing to overthink once you get through the current bout of thoughts. Not that he would leave you in such a state, but at least that way you wouldn't have to bear the heart you dedicated with all the current cracks on display.
"You should."
"I won't. Don’t tell me how I should feel." His voice takes on a stern edge, the tone softened by the grip on your shoulder tightening before he kneels on the floor before you. His eyes are determined, unwilling to let you bottle it up, much like how he would. A habit of his that he would rather keep to himself than share, for your wellbeing.
You groan, digging the heels of your hands against your swollen eyes, trying to wipe away what remains of your tears. You take a few seconds to compose yourself and to try and quiet the whirlwind in your mind, just enough to vocalise your distress. You can feel Levi’s steel eyes following every little move you make, almost as if staring hard enough would unlock all the answers for him. “If only that would work,” you think dejectedly.
“It was just too much.” The words come out as a small whisper against your wrist. You can almost hear his mind working to connect the pieces.
“It’s just one of those days, I guess. You know the ones where you wake up and everything just feels…wrong? Then I took one look at the recruits waiting for me to train them and remembered all the other recruits that I had failed.”
His gaze softens as he takes your hands, pulling them away from your face and forcing you to look at him. Gone is the aloof and somewhat intimidating captain that the Scouts have come to know. Before you is the man behind the title of Humanity’s Strongest Soldier, the side of him that only a select few get to see.
“That’s not your fault, not now, not ever. You can’t control everything that happens when we leave the Walls and I know that you know that.” He releases one of your hands so that he can gently grip your chin, tilting your head down to look him in the eyes.
Pure determination and understanding swim within the sea of silver that stares up at you. You want to hide from his gaze, feeling undeserving of it, yet his soft hand keeps you firmly in place.
“I’m not going to bullshit you and say that all the kids we’re training won’t drop like flies in a mission one day, and frankly if you wanted to hear that, you would have gone to someone else.”
“Technically, you came to me.”
The slight twitch of his eyes almost makes the corner of your lips lift.
“What I’m trying to say before you interrupt me again, is that what we can do is our damn best to prepare them. I’ve seen how you train them and it’s impressive. You have a talent when it comes to getting the brats to pay attention. We know the risks, as do they, but at least you are giving them the best fighting chance they can get. Got it?”
You stall for a moment, mind peacefully going blank at his words. You know he struggles to show the emotions he had buried deep below the wings of freedom adorning the breast of his uniform, but seeing him try for your sake causes a new lump to form in your throat.
Your silence tests his short patience and he gently tugs your chin, almost as if trying to force you to nod and accept his words. You fight the urge to jump into his arms, squeezing him tight in response. Instead, you clear your throat to try and dislodge the emotions building up.
“Got it, and you’re right. I’m sorry for being so pathetic. I know we can’t save everyone and that it’s a naive dream in the first place, which is why I always do my best to train them as much as I can.” You give him a watery smile, blinking rapidly to prevent the new wave of tears from escaping.
“I think everything I was trying to bottle up slipped out over time and snuck up on me today. Thank you, Levi.”
You receive an eye-roll in response, yet you don’t miss the way his shoulders relax, the one hand still holding onto yours giving you a warm and reassuring squeeze.
“Good. I don’t think those kids would have lasted this long if it weren’t for the rigorous training you’ve put them through.” Levi’s voice is low as he considers his words.
“Don’t forget that and don’t let this,” he gives your forehead a light flick as if to emphasise his point, “make you its prisoner. Overthinking like this will never do you any good, trust me. If you want to talk, you know where my office is. It’s not like you don’t already waste my time chatting my ear off about four-eyes’ shitty experiments or anything.
This time, you can’t hold back as a few tears begin to slide down your flushed cheeks, betrayed by the warm relief spreading through you. You scramble to wipe them away, having cried enough for the evening and maybe even a lifetime now.
“That will be twenty extra laps around the training grounds, by the way.”
You can hear the amusement in Levi’s voice, yet his face remains passive as he watches for your reaction. You throw him a glare as his eyes crinkle, clearly happy with the response he has gotten. Your self-doubts and tormenting thoughts are now a thing of the past with his subtle distractions, something you slowly realise was his plan all along. If annoying someone out of their misery was a sport, you figure Levi would have dozens of gold medals by now.
“Why? Is this for getting you to train my squad earlier?” Your voice is raised in pitch, the confusion evident as you cross your arms.
“No, that’s for calling yourself pathetic in my presence. Twice.”
“I’m learning to make sure you’re not in range when I do so.” You mumble, unaware that the man before you has caught your private words.
Now it’s Levi’s turn to fix you with a glare of his own, clearly not amused with the idea. You begin to fidget under the silence, wondering if you had taken it too far, too soon. Before your still anxious mind can replay the last minute, he flicks your forehead again, harder than before.
“That's thirty laps now. I’ll make it fifty if I hear a single complaint.”
You release a dramatic sigh, showing your displeasure with the command without digging a deeper hole for yourself so soon. You anxiously break eye contact, earning a small eyebrow raise in response as you fiddle with the frayed blanket beside you.
“I’ve changed my mind,” his gruff voice cuts through the silence that fell between you, catching your nervous attention once more.
“Sixty.”
“By the walls, Levi. Stop making it higher, I’m not going to complain!” You throw your hands into your lap in exhaustion, your previous breakdown having sapped any strength you had for the day.
“I just… I wanted to thank you again, for checking up on me and for making me feel better.”
He clicks his tongue in response, his hand coming up to ruffle your hair, before giving one of the strands a playful tug. You groan at the action, playfully swatting him away while rolling your eyes.
“If you want to thank me properly, then you can go and make us some tea for the evening. Bring it to my office once you’re done. Bring a book as well, I need to finish this paperwork tonight and I don’t care for whatever trouble Hange has recently caused.”
“Aye aye, Captain.” You give him a lighthearted salute before rushing to the door, not even trying to hide the excitement at the idea of spending the evening curled up in his office, drifting off to the sound of his pen gliding across paper.
Once you reach the door, his low voice catches your attention once more, rooting you in place. “Oi, I mean it.”
“What? The stupid amount of laps you will throw on me if you hear me complaining?”
“Tch, not that. I meant it when I said you could come to me. Now don’t you have tea to be making?”
You hold back a retort, feeling too happy to bicker with him, even in a playful manner. Instead, you simply nod before silently moving towards the kitchen, your heart feeling lighter than it has in months.

༺♡︎༻ - Gentle dom!Levi x sub!fem reader
𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙏𝘼𝙄𝙉𝙎 - breeding, oral f!receiving, slight degration, mostly praise. Face riding, mating press! Word count? a lot idk lol.
I saw a post about his life always being so cruel, and saying “why would he want that in his sex life?” and I loved it. Even with that said, he still has a little spice in him.
𝙄𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚?
Here you were, sitting in Commanders Erwin’s office. Sitting in front of his desk, your hands fiddling in your lap, beads of nervousness creating on your forehead. Your training has been going well, right? You haven’t disobeyed any orders… “No need to be so nervous, cadet.” Erwins voice cuts through the thick air, shocking you out of your thoughts. You nod, motioning that you are listening. “Well I’ve called you here today to discu—“ He was cut off by the office door dramatically slamming open, a short man appearing in the door way.
“Ah, just the man I was looking for!” Erwin says, leaning back in his office chair with a soft squeak. Levi cocks an eyebrow up, crossing his arms over his chest and walking in, his heavy boots clicking on the floor. “This the new recruit for ma’ squad?” He asks, his voice sharp and clearly not wanting to mess around. “New recruit?” you mumbled to yourself.
— it was kinda’ odd, you did know that short man as Captain Levi. And you saw him before joining the cadets. But only when the elite squad was galloping around the various cities of the inner walls. But ever since you’ve joined, you’ve been seeing him everywhere.—
Erwin nods, “Yep! This here is cadet Y/n. She will be the one joining your squad along with Eren.” Erwin exclaimed, happy to see Levi is getting new recruits. Potentially making more friends that’s not only him.
Levi’s eyes trail up and down your body, you swear you saw a slight smirk. However, it was around 8pm, you were probably just tired from training. “hmph.” Levi’s says, his arms still crossed over his chest, he obviously wasn’t one to give praise. Or so you thought…
——————————————————————————
After a few minutes of discussion and plans, you were dismissed back to your usual nightly routine. You waved the two superior officers goodbye, making your way back to the barracks.
Everything went smoothly the next couple of weeks. You and Levi’s squad got closer, but especially you and Eren, being around the same age. Everyone noticed the way Levi treated you; he was still his usual stern self, but let you get away with things other cadets could only dream of getting away with. Not making your bed, not picking up your training equipment, talking back to him occasionally, etc. You didn’t think anything of it, because you never knew him before this, so you thought that’s just how he was.
——————————————————————————
Hange convinced you to go out for a night; to just sit around a small campfire and talk with other cadets, catch up about recent expeditions and such. Of course, Levi was there too.
“You know Y/N.. Captain Levi over there is completely eyeing you down…” she whispered in a humorous tone. Your eyes widened, a soft pink tint covering your cheeks as you glance at Levi. Sure enough, he was dead staring at you. Not even trying to hide it. You looked away immediately, stammering out; “w-what? no he’s not, pftttt, you’re just crazy Hange!” you said, scooting a little bit away from her and blushing more and more while glancing between her and Levi.
She bursted out laughing, holding her stomach in amusement, causing all of the others to look at the two of you with confused faces; “YOU SHOULD’VE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE—“ she was cut off, by none other than Levi, gently tugging her ponytail back. “I think it’s best if we go to bed now. We cannot afford laziness tomorrow.” Levi said in a threatening tone. Everyone straightened up, including yourself. Except Hange, giving a pouty look.
Despite her best efforts and a few others begging, Levi wouldn’t budge. You and the others began to get up and leave — Levi calling out to you. “Cadet Y/n, wait for a minte. We need to discuss training tomorrow.” He said, his voice gentle with you like usual, but only to you.
You immediately freeze up, turning around slowly and seeing the short figure stand with his arms crossed, his hip popped to the side slighty. “Okay, Captain..” You mumbled, taking a few steps towards him. Hange flashes you a smirk and a wink as her and the others walk away. You flipped her off behind your back, causing a soft laugh from her in the distance fading away as she continued walking away.
——————————————————————————
You sat on a log and discussed further plans as he cleans up, putting out the fire, picking up chocolate wrappers from the s’mores, putting the sticks in the fire pit, etc. You were dozing off, not even listening to his blabbing about his plans and missions that Erwin had brought up, you were tired. It was late.
“You look tired.” He says bluntly, snapping you out of your thoughts as your cheeks flush pink once more. He was finished cleaning. You wave your hands—; “I’m sorry, I was listening I just-“ He cut you off, placing a hand on your shoulder, “let’s get you to bed, hm?” he said softly, rubbing a circle on your shoulder with his thumb. You sighed with relief, standing up and dusting yourself off. “yeah… that’d be nice.” you mumbled as you turned around. Only for Levi to put his hand on the small of your back, walking beside you.
You can’t help that the tiny blush on your cheeks darkens. You glance between him and the path infront of you. His face remains unphased, keeping his eyes forward and walking you back to your room.
Wait— How’d he know which one was yours?
——————————————————————————
You tiredly kicked the door open to your small room in the barracks, Levi’s hand still on the small of your back. “Thanks for walking me, Captain” you mumbled tiredly. Your puffy, sleepless eyes blinking slowly as you walk into your room. “No problem, cadet.” He says smoothly, you don’t even notice that he walks in behind you, closing the door with a soft click.
You stretch before turning around, your tired eyes jolting open with your arms frozen above your head. “Uhm Cap—“ you were cut off as he gently pushes you against the wall of your room, pressing his lips against yours. One hand cupping your jaw, the other resting on the wall beside your head.
Your eyes open more at the sudden contact, your heart beginning to thump in your chest as your hands instinctively move to his shoulders. After a good few seconds of his lips moving on his own, you close your eyes and begin to move your lips against his as well. He gives your bottom lip a gentle nibble, asking for entrance. Too which, you quickly oblige. Your tongues begin to tangle in a gentle, heated rhythm.
He pulls back for a second, catching his breath, his forehead resting against yours. “C-Captain—“ you stammer out, to which he cuts you off once more. “Just let me love you.. Like i’ve been wanting too for months—“ he says breathlessly, kissing you once more, a little harsher than the last. You’re left breathless once more, literally and figuratively.
Did he really just say that!?
You feel a warm feeling in your lower stomach, arousal pooling in your panties. You eagerly kiss him back, letting your eyes flutter shut, your lips and tongues meet together again. His free hand snaked down from the wall to your waist, pulling himself closer, breaking the kiss. His forehead pressed against yours again. “can I… can I please touch you more..?” He pants out, almost pleading.
You nod reluctantly, putting your arms around his neck and keeping your forehead pressed against his, too speechless to respond with words. He runs his hand under your loose shirt, running up, up, up,—
“Captain~” you cooed softly as he cupped your breast with one hand, his thumb running over the nipple. “Call me Levi, please…” he said again, his voice still having a slight plead to it. He moved his other hand from your jaw, moving it under your shirt to your other breast, now cupping both. Your heart thumps harder, you swear it was going to burst from your chest. “L-Levi..~” you stammered out, feeling what it’s like to only say his first name.
He quickly takes your shirt off over your head, the outline of his cock painfully straining against his pants already, twitching against your lower stomach from the sight and feeling. But he doesn’t care, he’s focusing on you right now. He cups your breasts once more, leaning his head down and taking one bud in his mouth, swirling his tongue around it. His eyes close in utter bliss at just the sweet taste of you. His other hand was rolling your other bud between his fingers.
You let your head fall to your shoulder, eyes shutting lightly again as you bite your lower, already kiss bitten lip. You move one hand to the back of his head, gently pushing his head closer. He alternates between the two breasts, marking sure they get equal attention, continuing to leave love marks and bites. He lets go of the current nipple with a lewd pop, kissing down your sternum, now kissing down your stomach as he lowers himself onto his knees, his eyes never once leaving your closed ones.
Was the Levi Ackerman really on his knees for you right now!?
He tugs on the waistband of your pants, looking up at you with eyes seeking permission. You keep your hand on the back of his head, running it through his hair as you open your tired eyes, giving him a nod of approval. He doesn’t wait a second longer, pulling your pants and panties down with one harsh tug, coming face to face with your needy, dripping cunt.
He can’t help but let out a low groan from the back of his throat at the sheer sight of you fully exposed to him. It was better than he imagined when he would pathetically fist his cock to the thought of your naked body. He was looking at it like a predator looks at their damn prey. He wanted you— no. He needed you right now. You put both hands on his hair, gently running through it.
“mmm, ya’ look so delicious baby..” he purrs, gently giving your clit a soft flick with his tongue, causing your legs to jolt slightly. “ ‘nd already so sensitive, yeah?” He said, about to start ravaging before he stops, standing up. “Bed. Now.” he demands.
You look at him in confusion before he says that, immediately doing as he requested. He layed himself down, his head against a pillow, “Sit on my face..” His voice was harsh, leaving no room for argument. Harsher than usual, only shamefully adding to your arousal.
But you eagerly comply, gently straddling his face. Your plush thighs on either side of his face, looking down at him. Without another second wasted, he gripped your thighs, pulling your dripping cunt onto his hungry face. His tongue immediately diving between your wet folds, probbing at your entrance as his nose brushes against your puffy red clit. You were moaning on his face, your forehead pressing against the headboard as your hands grip the top of the it, grinding yourself down further.
Levi would be so blessed to die right now. Suffocating in your plush thighs, your taste intoxicatingly good. His tongue swirling at your entrance, getting as much fluid as he possibly could before gently pushing past the first ring of muscles, causing you to accidentally press your thighs together, squeezing his cheeks. But he doesn’t give a fuck. He was not stopping until you squirted on his desprate face.
“ya’ taste so fuckin’ good my girl..” he mumbled against your cunt, the vibrations sending more waves on pleasure through your body. You weren’t able to understand him very well due to him being under you, muffled between your thighs, but you didn’t care. You were on cloud nine right now. You grinded your hips down more, desprate for more friction as you feel a knot build in your lower stomach.
He held your plush thighs snug against his face, not letting up anytime soon. He also guided your hips, allowing more friction as he tongue fucks you as deeply as he can, his eyes closed in pure ecstasy as he continues to devour you whole. You can hear him moaning against your cunt, only adding to the intensity.
“Levi— m’gonna cum—“ You stammer out, gripping the top of the headboard harder. Your legs becoming shaky, your breaths coming out in shallower pants, feeling the knot becoming tighter and tighter. “mmm cum on ma’face ya’ pretty thing..” he said, muffled by your body weight. Somehow you managed too hear it and-
Oh. That did it.
You felt the knot snap on your stomach, a loud moan being ripped from your throat as your eyes roll back in heaven, seeing the damn light of heaven behind your eyelids. Warmth spreading through your body as your warm cum gushes on his face, his greedy tongue quickly lapping up all he can get. A little disappointed as some of your delicious cum was wasted by dripping down his chin. But that’s okay, he can tell he’ll get plenty more in the future. Another low groan leaves his throat at the taste and feeling of you quivering, occasionally jolting on his face from the orgasm. Tongue fucking your through your high.
“ya’ did such a good job baby..~” he muttered out, licking your cunt clean. It was his thing afterall, making sure everything stays clean. He has to grip your thighs to make sure you don’t fall backwards onto the bed, leaving small finger marks in the soft flesh. When he was done licking you clean, he began to rub soft circles on your thighs where he left the marks, attempting to soothe any pain if any at all.
He gives your puffy clit a soft kiss before he gently pushes you onto your back on the, looming over you. Licking his lips clean of your arousal. You were still catching your breath as he plants hot, wet kisses down your face to your neck, marking you up more than before, speaking softly. “do you want more, my pretty girl..?” he whispered into your ear, feeling the erection in his pants pulse against your thigh.
“yes… please, Levi..…” You babbled softly, pressing a kiss on the side of his head. That made something break inside him. He sits up straight, practically ripping his shirt off, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. He unzips his captain pants, his hard cock slapping against his lower stomach.
Damn. For his height, he was packing.
You gasped softly, seeing the painfully hard cock pulse against his stomach, a trail of precum glistening on the tip and down the front. His tip so red and angry. You looked up at him with soft, lustful eyes.
“It’s all for you my pretty, only for you…” He coos out, moving one hand to the side of your head and leaning over you, the other violently pumping his cock with his fist. He moved his hand from his cock down to your puffy slit, collecting up arousal and his slavia, making you shiver and moan softly in response. He spreads it all over the tip of his flushed cock, moaning softly as he begins to pump again, spreading the fluids down his shaft.
He planted a soft kiss on your lips before pulling back again, looking down at you. He swears he could cum right then and there just from the sight, but he keeps himself together, guiding the tip to run through your slick folds.
“ya’ ready to take me baby.…?” He says softly, teasing your aching entrance with his tip. You moaned softly at the feeling once more, your body still incredibly sensitive from your orgasm earlier. You nod in response, “f-fuck me Levi…” you said, your voice quivering and soft.
With a swift movement, he places your shaking legs over his shoulders, immediately guiding his tip back to your pulsing entrance. “m’gonna fuck you so well…” He pants out, like a wild animal in heat. “m’gonna fill you up so well, Take it all—“ he babbles, not even fully aware of what the hell he was saying as he pushed the tip in, groaning in the process.
He’s not going to get you pregnant on the first fuck. Later? Perchance. Now? No.
“oh my godddddd, s’tight..” he hissed out, moving his hands to the back of your thighs now that he had the tip in, not needing to guide it any further. You gasp in response, your back arching against the mattress of your bed, your body begins to tremble all over again, jolts of electricy sparking through you. “L-Levi! fuckkkk” you moaned out, letting your eyes shut and lean your head back against the mattress.
“you’re taking me so well, sucking ma’ cock down so perfectly, baby…” he groans, all of his words going straight to your cunt, your gummy walls tightening impossibly more around him as he sinks his cock in deeper. Eventually bottoming out as he twitches in your tight walls, his pubic bone pressed flushed against yours.
Your eyes rolled back in ecstasy, feeling tears of pleasure and pain from the stretch prickle at your inner eyes, your mouth stuck open in a silent scream, a soft squeak escaping your mouth. He briefly closed his eyes as well, relishing the feeling of being balls deep inside your tight body. He takes a few deep breaths before moving in shallow thrusts. “mmm, ya’ like that baby? ya’ like my fat cock stretching you? yur’ so beautiful…” He growled out, his words slurring slightly. his hands moving from the back of your thighs to your waist, pulling you impossibly deeper. He was trying to be gentle, but his harsher, dominate side was kicking back in. You just felt too good!! :(
“yes! oh shit— yes, Levi!” you moaned and gasped out out, small tears flowing down your puffy cheeks as your knees were pressed to your chest as he shallowly thrusted into you, stretching you out into the shape of his cock. You were so wet that your juices were enough lube for him to easily slip inside and out. He pulled out, leaving the tip pusling at your hole before slamming back in with no warning.
If there was one thing everyone including you knew about Levi, it was that he had CRAZY stupid stamina and strength. He was an Ackerman, afterall.
he made his feet sit flat on the mattress as he basically mounts you, now moving desperately inside you. Basically vertically— “Levi! Mfg!~ S-slow down— Fuckkkk!” you try and choke out through moans, which fall on deaf ears as his thrusts speed up more, his heavy balls smacking against your ass. “deeper, deeper, deeper,” You heard him babble out. Yeah, he was pussywiped at the very least. holding onto your calf’s as he drives himself into your weak body, his cock twitching.
“Levi!” you squeak out, moans and whines being ripped from your throat one after another as you feel yet another knot build in your lower stomach, feeling his cock pound against your cervix, creating a buldge inside your poor tummy. Every thrust was so mean, abusing your cervix and pressing harshly against your womb. “m’gonna cummmm!” You whine out, more small tears violently flowing.
“mmm, yes! Cum on this cock, cum on my fucking cock pretty thing…” He demands, a white ring forming at the base of his cock from your wetness, his cock leaking precum against your spongy g-spot.
You could see stars in your vision, like God was coming to meet you himself. He continues to pound into you with a rythm, a harsh “thump thump thump” agaisnt your poor, stretched walls. There was no doubt you were waking up everyone in the barrakcs, Hell, maybe even all of Paradis.
You felt his hard thrusts becoming sloppier, signaling he was getting closer aswell. He snakes one hand from your calf down to where you two were connected, running circles over your puffy clit spelling “L-E-V-I” but you were way to cock drunk to make that out. He leaned his head down, kissing you messily. Silencing your loud moans, even though he really wanted it hear more of them, he didn’t want anyone to come complain and ruin this moment he’s fiend after.
You felt the knot in your stomach snap once more as your vision behind your eyelids becomes darker and darker, you swear you were going to pass out “Levi, cumming!~” you managed to moan out before your words became incoherent. — “hm, good girl~ cumming on ma’ cock like such a good girl— sucking me down so well—“ he cooed praises, his thrusts becoming slower and deeper as he paints your tight walls white. Ropes of thick, steamy cum filling your abused cunt.
After a few more sloppily thrusts, ensuring his seed was fucked into you perfectly, he fell beside you, wrapping his arms around you and taking you with him. Snuggling into the side of you, one hand sliding down down and rubbing circles on your lower tummy. “hmm… you’re so good—* he mumbled against your neck, continuing to mumble praises as your breathing became regular again, coming down from your high.
“You definitely woke up the whole building…” he mumbles. Too which, you grab a stray pillow weakly and shove it down on his face, panting softly with your eyes closed. He chuckles at your weak action, letting you keep the pillow on his face as his eyes flutter shut as well.
You two fell asleep together, cuddling up to eachother with your trembling body. Mixed cum still gushing out of your now strecthed cunt, bodies stuck together with sweat, but he would clean up everything in the morning. He was so tired that he didn’t even take the pillow off of his face that you tried to suffocate him with moments before. Your face still flushed from the intimate activitiy but also embarrassment.
——————————————————————————
The next morning Levi kissed your forehead goodbye, gently whispering that he has to go teach with Erwin. You didn’t hear it, but it’s the thought that counts. He softly and quietly cleaned up you up, leaving you squeaky clean, and curled up in the warm, plushy covers. You sure as hell weren’t going to training today, or maybe not for the rest of the week.
As you finally got out of bed for food, you threw an oversized shirt and loose shorts on. The shirt going off your shoulder, exposing your marks on your collarbone and upper chest. But you were too tired to even care; figuring everyone was already out from the barracks and training. As soon as you opened the door, you were met with a smugged face Hange, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
How long was she standing there? Doesn’t matter.
“GET OUT—“ you yelled, causing the brown haired girl to giggle and scamper away. You will be discussing this later with her anyway.

"Black Fire" review
Novel from 1983 by Sonni Cooper, and as far as I know, the only TOS novel from this author. This one was pretty fun, fast-paced, and a real page-turner. It's also notorious for being totally nuts, and having Spock going rogue and doing all sorts of crazy things. The intro was written by Theodore Sturgeon, no less. It's also very, veeeery spirk-heavy (and so far, the only K/S novel I've read that seems to get their relationship right, without going over-the-top).
Spock is the central character, and for the most part, the story follows his solo adventures, though Scotty shares some of these exploits in the early chapters. Amazingly, and despite all the unusual stuff that Spock gets involved with, he manages to stay believable. The other characters are all well-written too, even if they take a background place. And the same goes for the original ones, in particular Desus, the Romulan befriended by Spock.
The story takes place shortly before TMP. One thing that surprised me, is that this novel doesn't seem afraid to modify canon in substantial ways. Most of these books are more timid when playing with the characters, and focus on self-contained adventures that have little impact on the whole. Main characters are rarely put in real danger, or suffer grave injuries. Here, on the other hand, we have the entire primary hull of the Enterprise being destroyed and jettisoned in the very first chapter (a year before The Search for Spock blew the ship to pieces). The TMP uniforms are introduced already by the end of the five-year mission. Spock suffers a disabling injury, portrayed with realism, and not resolved immediately and easily with a magic pill. Also, this book gets pretty dark at times; Spock tries to kill himself not once, but twice... And a popular guest character from the series is also killed for real.
Some spoilers below the cut:
The Enterprise is in a routine mission, training cadets fresh from the Academy, when a massive explosion in the bridge leaves the primary hull destroyed, Kirk in critical condition, Spock with a splinter lodged near his spine, and many cadets dead. The primary hull has to be evacuated and separated, while the rest of the ship limps back to a starbase. In the following investigation, Starfleet declares that everything was a mere accident. But neither Spock nor Scotty are satisfied with this answer, since nothing on the bridge could cause an explosion of such magnitude. Therefore, they travel back to the jettisoned hull to find clues.
Spock is suspicious of some new yeoman, who entered and left the bridge shortly before the explosion. In her abandoned quarters they find two clues: a piece of paper with dots, which seems to be a star chart; and a ton of depilatory cream. However, Starfleet isn't convinced by this flimsy evidence. So Spock starts the first of a long series of reckless actions, and steals a small ship with Scotty, to travel to the star system depicted in the paper. Spock is in severe pain (and having suffered a similar injury in the past myself, I can testify: he IS in pain), but leaves nonetheless before undergoing the necessary surgery (I told you Spock is nuts in this novel). Meanwhile, Kirk's still recovering and has no clue of what's going on.
When Spock and Scotty arrive at the only habitable planet of the star map, they find out that a Romulan and Klingon ships have also been lured to that place by similar maps. Everything was a trap, and all of them are captured by the Tomariians, and brought to their home planet in an ancient rocket. The Tomariians are short, stocky and very hairy aliens, living in an extreme cold environment. Being poor and primitive, they've turned to scavenging, adapting the most disparate technologies to expand across their sector of the galaxy. Spock and the others meet the Tomariian leader, Ilsa. The one who disguised herself as a yeoman to plant the explosive in the Enterprise (hence all that depilatory cream). And she takes a liking to Spock, just as every other woman in this book.
The Tomariians plan to test their captives' strenght by sending them to different battlefields. This way they could determine the weaknesses of Federation members, Klingons and Romulans, in order to expand later through their territories. Spock's injury worsens, to the point that he's left immobile from waist down. But due to her attraction for him, Ilsa spares his life. Meanwhile, Kirk has found clues about Spock and Scotty's whereabouts, so finally, the Enterprise rescues them in the nick of time.
Back in the ship, Spock has to fulfill the promise he made to the Romulan woman captured with him: to warn the Empire of the Tomariian threat, should she not survive. After this, Spock has to face a court-martial for all his offenses: stealing a starship, and above all, establishing secret communications with the Romulan and Klingon empires. Charged with treason, he's sent to prison, where he meets and befriends the Romulan pirate Desus.
I won't spoil anything more (this is about halfway through the novel). Suffice to say that, after this, Spock gets involved in a prison break. He becomes a pirate by the name of "Black Fire", and gains a following of fangirls that write love poems about him (an amusing parody of real-world fandom). And finally defects to the Romulan Empire, creating massive drama with Kirk. Of course, there's a satisfactory explanation for Spock going amok, at the end.
Spirk Meter: 10/10*: Kirk and Spock are separated most of the time and have little physical contact, but the story truly reads as a break-up/reconciliation one. Specially with the introduction of Desus as a rival for Spock's affection. In the first chapter, Kirk is partially healed by a mind meld with Spock, and sighs his name upon waking up. Then Kirk anguishes over Spock's disappearance, and risks the entire ship to go rescue him (well... and Scotty). And there's a lot of commentary about how Kirk is Spock's only close relationship, and how his defection to the Romulans is a particularly painful blow for Kirk. The whole issue of Spock's treason has Kirk on edge and in a foul mood, to the point that other crewmembers are afraid of bringing the subject in his presence. As other books with a lot of spirk content, it's difficult to pinpoint single scenes, since it's a general theme all over the place. Add to this, Spock's absolute indiference towards all the women swooning around him.
Then there's, of course, Spock and Desus' extremely close friendship, said to rival that with Kirk. At one point, Desus reads aloud some of the love poems that Spock has inspired as "Black Fire". And one has to wonder if he isn't adressing the words to Spock himself.
McCoy doesn't appear much in the novel. But still gets some McKirk and Spones. In the beginning, he's devastated by Kirk's serious injuries and his inability to cure him, crying about the prospect of losing "the man he both admired and loved". Then, at the end, McCoy asks Spock to sign his book of love (and erotic) poems dedicated to him (!!!???), as an excited fangirl. "To belong to this man of fire, if only for a moment. - My flaming love." he reads aloud. And Spock even gives him his pirate earring as a gift. The novel closes with these lines: The black jewel gleamed its strange luminescence in McCoy's palm, but it was no match for the gleam in Spock's dark smiling eyes.
*A 10 in this scale is the most obvious spirk moments in TOS. Think of the back massage, "You make me believe in miracles", or "Amok Time" for example.

Literally anything about Echo, please. Could be before or during bad batch, I’m just completely head over heels for the man
PAST LIVES // Echo x Reader
Summary: Echo's been rescued from Skako Minor, settling into Clone Force 99 slowly but surely. His past catches up with him during a routine diagnostic run, and you... well, you're unknowingly somewhere between a memory and a reunion. Echo is convinced he knows best.
Something wasn't right, things were too soft and hazy, too golden, too warm, dreamy… But the way you were smiling at him, the way your warm fingers were tracing patterns through his hair, Echo couldn’t bring himself to think too hard about it. It had been far too long since he’d had time with you like this, legs tangled together, his hands were settled on you waist, and you were smiling lazily. Maybe something was right for the first time in a while.
Where was he again? Your apartment on Coruscant? The Barracks? Why couldn’t he tell? Then you shifted, rolling so you were on top of his chest. The hand not on his bicep crept up his torso, nails scratching just right to make his back arch. Maybe it didn’t matter where you were...
"We gotta get up." Your voice was sleepy but happy, muffled as you dropped your face into the crook of his neck. Echo wanted to focus on your voice, on the feel of your lashes against his jaw, but under your voice was the hint of something else. Something that injected a bit of urgency into his system, but nothing here was that urgent right? Echo wrapped his arms a bit tighter around your waist, but nothing felt different, like you slipping through his fingers.
"Echo, you need to wake up now." You said again, suddenly not buried in his neck but staring down at him expectantly. The warmth was sapping away, despite your touch his legs were feeling colder and stiffer. Your voice wasn’t soft, but an order, behind it was the reverberation of someone else’s. Rex? Fives? No, that wasn’t right either. Echo started to try to sit up, reaching up to run a hand through your hair, locks slipped over his quickly cooling fingers like an water washing away an illusion, revealing a durasteel scomp link in it’s place.
The urgency was rising, his other hand running over his head to find his cropped cut gone. Barely any stubble had started to regrow, his face had gone gaunt. Furrowed brows lifted his eyes to you, the golden version of you smiling and the cold urgent version of yourself flickering like a faulty holo-com. He tried calling your name, but a static shock at the base of his neck catapulted him first into darkness though he was becoming rapidly more aware of his reality.
Half a moment later, a hand shook his shoulder and he startled awake again. The harsh white light of the Kaminoan medical bay was a stark difference to the hazy golden light in his dream.
It had been a dream, of course it had, Echo hadn’t spoken to you since…well, since he’d been a different man.
"Diagnostic scans are looking good. New implants are operating satisfactory. " Tech announced, tapping away at a data pad that was connected by a couple wires to the base of Echo’s skull. The former ARC trooper sighed, craning his neck this way and that though the cybernetics along his spine wouldn’t let the joints pop.
"Great, can we find a way to test these things without knocking me out?" He groaned, watching Tech tap at a few more things. The genius rose his eyebrows.
"We could but we risk neural overload, neural underload, brain fry, memory lapse, short term memory loss, long term memory loss, hallucinations,…" Tech’s list was on going, bordering on droning but Echo’s focus was lost when motion at the door way caught his eye. The medbay doors swished apart, making room for two clones. Two older cadets in training armor, one half supporting his brother who was sans helmet. The injured one had blood dribbling down his forehead and looked more than a little dazed. Training incidents, those happened all the time. It was the pretty civilian nurse who flanked the pair that held Echo's attention, taking the injured cadet under his other arm to help him walk straight.
You.
It was like being shocked all over again.
Echo was an entirely different man now, but you… You’d barely changed. Sure, your hair was a little longer now, a couple more shadows under your eyes. But, you were still you. The woman that Echo had loved, still loved. He couldn't help but watch you sit the injured trooper down, asking both cadets diagnostic questions. They seemed flustered under your keen eyes, casting each other wide eyed looks when you’d offer them that soft, reassuring smile you gave all your patients.
You’d given Echo that smile, it seemed like decades ago now when you’d met, and, kriff, it’d stunned him to silence, too. Still did. Echo watched you put gloves on, sliding them over a ring he’d given you shortly before he left for the Citadel. And he watched those gloved hands gently feel over the Cadet’s head, not quite like you used to play with his hair, but just as gentle. He couldn’t quite hear your voice, but he could see your lips moving, your face was still gentle, probably explaining what you were doing or cracking a joke as opposed to the scolding you used to serve the 501st when they’d get hurt doing something dumb.
The cadet flinched as you started to clean the shallow wound on his forehead, and Echo almost laughed at the face you made at him. There was the scolding, judging by how the cadet sat up a little straighter. It didn’t take you long, cleaning, bandaging, shining a light in the clone’s eyes.
"Alright, I think you’ll survive, just barely."
Echo couldn’t hear you, but he knew that glint in your eyes. You always said that when treating minor wounds; you thought it was funny. He knew exactly the lilt of your voice, which words you put emphasis on, the quirk of your brow, the breath of a laugh you’d tag on the end as you patted the Cadet’s knee. He’d heard you say it a hundred times, been the patient on the receiving end when he’d make excuses to come see you in the medbay before he asked you out.
Tech was prodding his shoulder again, trying to get his attention. Echo could just barely hear him over the rash of memories going through his mind.
"Are you even listening to me? Something made your brainwaves spike." Tech questioned finally looking up from his datapads to follow Echo’s line of sight to you, "Oh."
The cadets were leaving now, you were cleaning up the bit of mess you made before taking a sweep of the infirmary. Your eyes landed on the two different clones, your brow twitched for a moment as you looked at him. A spark of recognition dimmed by a crash of sadness before you shook your head, offering the two of them a smile and wave.
"Can I help with anything?" You called after setting a cleaning droid on your station. You were walking over, curiosity in your pretty eyes.
"No, just routine diagnostics." Tech answered when Echo just stared at you like a ghost. Ironic considering he was the more ghost like of the two of you. You slipped more into work mode, eyes scanning over the cybernetics on his head and dumbstruck look.
"And they’re coming back green?" You asked, sincerely, reaching out to gently take hold of Echo’s chin. Kriff, if you touched him he didn’t know what he’d do. He’d been so carefully avoiding you since his rescue. Stars, the truth was clawing up his throat to tangle with the wisps of your perfume that he’d breathed in, like sparks and gas. It burned your presence into him, but, dank farrik, it was nice to be warm again.
But could he do this to you? You deserved more than what he’d become, he couldn’t give you what he once could. Could he put you through that after everything?
Rex had told him. How hard you took it when the news of Echo’s apparent death was broken to you. Everything you’d been through afterwards. Rex told him that you weren’t coping well, you were becoming reckless, distant. Barely eating, barely sleeping, less patient, quiet. The only reason you were still working in the GAR at all was because some of the boys were worried what might happen to you if you were formally discharged. So, Rex pulled some strings, had you transferred back to Kamino where you’d been primarily an instructor, teaching cadets medical skills, running drills with them to show them how to work with civilians in the field, and taking shifts in the infirmary just to keep busy. Compared to what Kix had described, you seemed to finally be doing better. You seemed like you.
Echo could feel the warmth emanating off your fingertips as they got closer, reminding him exactly why he needed to not be this close. That spark of recognition was back in your stare, your brow twitching. At the last second, Echo flinched backwards away from your fingers, leaning away to try not to choke on your scent as he cleared his throat.
"Just a little out of sync when things come back online, ma’am, nothing to worry about. ‘M fine." Echo forced his voice to be rigid, cut and dry, the way soldiers were supposed to talk to civilians like you. Anything else, he’d be afraid you’d clock him based just off his tone. You always could do that, pick him out of a crowd with your eyes closed. Sometimes, Fives and Jesse would convince Echo to play ‘musical armor’ to try to trick you, you wouldn’t even have to turn around. The moment Echo opened his mouth, you’d hit him with a sweet greeting. It always made the guys laugh, but it made Echo feel… right, warm all the way through. So, he couldn’t risk it and kept his voice firm.
Echo expected you to look at him weird, maybe even be irritated at his cold tone, but instead, you just smiled, shaking your head with the slightest laugh as you dropped your hand back to your side.
"What?" Echo pressed, fighting the urge to smile back. He shouldn’t have, he needed to leave. It was nice to have you this close again, but it’d just hurt more in the long run. You straightened up, taking a half step back.
"Sorry, you just… remind me of someone I used to know."
Echo tried not to flinch at that.
"We’re needed in the docking bay."
Both of you had completely forgotten Tech was there. The batch’s genius was watching Echo carefully and you curiously, and for all the crap they gave him, Tech had obviously picked up on Echo’s inner struggle. Tech stood slowly, slipping his helmet on and handed Echo’s to him, "We’ll see ourselves out."
Echo nodded to Tech, and also to himself, before offering you a curt nod as well, just for the excuse to give you another short look. Your brows crinkled again, but Echo turned on his heel to follow Tech out before he could give you anymore reason to question him.
"Oh, alright. Bye then." Your voice was soft, confused as you stared at the two men leaving the infirmary.
—
"You knew her."
Tech’s phrase wasn’t a question, but a fact. Stated as such as they walked back to the docking bay. Echo answered it like one anyone, after he slipped his helmet on, hoping it’d make him harder to read.
"Uh, yeah. She used to work in the 501st." Not a lie, you had worked in the 501st, after the incident on the Rishi moon.
"Your body language suggests some sort of deeper relation than simple coworkers. Your pupils dilated, brainwaves spiked, vocal change, hyper fixated focus, fidgety muscle reactions-"
"Don’t need a biology lesson, Tech." Echo groaned, "And I’m suggesting that it doesn’t matter anymore."
"It just insinuates that-"
"Un-insinuate it then."
"Hmm." Tech hummed, casting an odd look to the newest member of the Batch.
"I..." Echo thought for a moment, trying to come up with some sort of dismissal, but that truth was still crawling up his throat. His shoulders slumped a bit as he fixed his helmeted gaze on the pristine white floors, "I'm not the man she knew."
--
wow this is so dramatic and unedited lol

I think ageswap au Prowl was definitely passed over by, like. MOST of high command until Sunstreaker and Sideswipe picked him up. Command is hearing about Prowl a lot more than most cadets and it’s never good. He’s mouthy, asks too many questions, won’t do what he’s told (or will seem to do it, but actually do whatever the fuck he feels like)—and it’s driving his sergeants insane. None of the other cadets seem to like him and at least a part of that is him getting them all in trouble, but even when Prowl tries his level best to connect with them he’s just. Transparently Other. He won’t go drinking period. Seems like he abhors parties. Lashes out easily and when Prowl apologized it’s usually Badly. The mech does like to race, but nobot actually wants him there and while not great with social skills, Prowl can tell. He’s a problem mech. Autobot High Command’s general consensus is that he’ll either wash out of training or scrape along and never accomplish much, no matter HOW good his test scores are.
Except Sunstreaker and Sideswipe go to actually observe this Prowl before writing him off. And what do you know, a lot of these behaviors are awfully familiar to two former, feral children turned gladiators. Prowl is… maybe the same age as his fellow cadets, but he’s YOUNG is the thing. Prowl claims to be a cold construct, but with Praxus destroyed there’s hardly any records left. That processor and the specialized hardware leaves mechs wondering, for certain. Whether or not it’s true is anyone’s guess, but no matter the case he definitely onlined right at the ugly end of Sentinel Prime’s reign. Destined for war with no other real choices. Frustrated and afraid and trying to find some kind of identity, only to routinely be told that said self is just not what anyone is looking for. It’s a familiar and very bitter pill for the twins to swallow, so they pick him up just to prove everyone wrong. Because if they deserved their chance, then this half feral mechling deserves one too.
I think even the twins are surprised at how well it works. Prowl’s never going to be a social butterfly, and he stays blunt and somewhat awkward no matter how hard they try, but he does better with a small group of concentrated “adult” attention. Much, MUCH later into their acquaintance Prowl will admit that much of his lashing out and mouthiness was just a poor attempt to seize any amount of control he could over a life where he was constantly afraid and had none. That he had convinced himself that if he could just control EVERYTHING then he’d finally feel okay. And also he’s sorry. Which, of course, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had already guessed. But they only pet and fuss over their trainee and say oh, how brave you are.
Of course, the twins toting Prowl around has exposed him to most of command. Who have found out that, actually, he isn’t a bad egg. He’s got plenty of potential, and just needs one-on-one attention he wasn’t getting before. Like, the second most of the old-timers met him, they went “Oh, he’s a KID.”
And that’s how it all got started (with kinky sex along the way)
You said it much better than I have... Prowl just needed a chance, a guiding hand. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe saw so much of themselves in his struggle for attention and power and agency. They were determined to prove that he's not "just a bad kid", he just needs a push down the right path!
