No warnings, just a wholesome story! I hope you enjoy :)

The morning light filtered through the curtains, the damp air from the open window wisping the thin fabric through the air like a vapor. Your crusty eyes blinked a few times before focusing on the wooden roof of your cabin, your gaze connecting the different notches together to make constellations. You would’ve stayed in bed if it wasn’t for your cats screaming outside your door for their breakfast– and the sounds of your stomach that almost mimicked those of your pets.

You filled each bowl of your outside cat’s before heading straight for the coffee maker, sighing as you filled a cup. Grabbing your creamer, you began to go over your checklist of errands for the day– farmer’s stand for some produce, as your gardening venture was turning out to be harder than previously considered; the bakery, to see Cora- to grab some yeast; the post office to send your mother a letter.

When you left the comfort of your big city home with your kind mother to live on the mountainside, it was tough. The whole atmosphere was different; so much so it made you so homesick you felt your stomach in knots at night. It got easier over time, and the way the small community welcomed you with open arms made you forget the qualms you had before. You were alone in a new place– or so you thought. The whole town was there to catch your fall, giving you all the comfort in their own ways and helping you onto your feet with your new life.

It was a cozy place. The wind had permanent residence through the evergreen trees that stood tall in the forests of the town, the rushing rivers full of bright, colorful fish, the people that lit the streets at night– old cobblestone paths alight with dancing and merriment and carrying on. Many a night had you stumbled home accompanied by the local blacksmith, Kid, his strong arm holding you upright and helping you into bed without a hint of malice. He always crashed on your couch and used your hot water the next morning, but you were thankful for the escort nonetheless. And he did make some damn good ale.

After you had dressed and thrown your worn shoes on, your basket was donned and you headed out the dirt path spotted with small stones and rocks to town.

“Hey! Been lookin for ya. I got a pint of ale back at the forge for lettin’ me crash.” Kid’s gruff voice sounded from behind you once you got to the town square, and you chuffed softly to turn face to face with him.��

“While I appreciate that, I already told you I don’t need any compensation. You getting me home safely is payment enough.” You brushed some charcoal from his cheek and thumped his skinny nose. “Where’s Kil?”

“You think I keep a radar on that guy?” Kid let out a hearty laugh while rubbing his nose, knowing damn well where his partner was. “He’s back at the shop. Had to run to town to pick up some charcoal.”

“I see. Maybe I’ll pick up the ale on the way home. Gotta head to the bakery!” Your cheeks couldn’t help but turn pink thinking of the brother who helped run the place. Kid’s maroon lips spread across his face. “I gotta get something.”

“To see that DonQuixote fella? Or to ‘get somethin’’?” The last part he air quoted with a mischievous smile.

You stuck your tongue out at him before heading the way you were previously walking. “Maybe both.”

You chose to ignore the cheeky laugh from behind to instead think about the shaggy, blonde locks of the baker, his mocha eyes swirling with amusement and care, how kind his smile was. His laugh was deep and contagious. Watching him interact with the children in the town, especially his adopted nephew Traffy, caused your heart to swell five times bigger and quickly turn away so he didn’t spot your heart eyes.

 The chime of the bakery’s front door rang in your ears, and suddenly you were looking into the face you had been daydreaming about.

“Oh, hey there berry.” Cora’s gentle tone caressed your ears, inviting you in and to the counter where he stood. His nickname for you always made you scoff. He called you so because your face was always red. Whether from the walk to the bakery or some other reason, who knows. “Looking divine today. Whatcha doing back so soon for?”

His words never failed to make you bashful. While he was just like that with everyone, you knew they meant something different to yourself.  “Well, I forgot the yeast a few days ago. Wanted to make some fresh bread,” you explained, setting your basket down gently on the counter, “I’ll make sure to bring you and Doffy some when it’s done.” 

Cora’s smile only expanded upon hearing this news. He excitedly replied, “Please do. Your bread is delicious.” He mimicked the motion of putting a piece of something in his mouth and melted exaggeratedly behind the counter, out of your sight. You laughed and waved him off. “Shush. It’s not that great. I’m still working on the recipe.” You stuck your tongue out at the blonde when he emerged from behind the wood, now his turn to chuckle.

“You’re too hard on yourself, berry. Here-” Cora stopped short to grab something from the back, appearing from the kitchen threshold with a tart wrapped in wax paper. It was fluffy and light pink, dotted with strawberries and puffs of cream on top. “-Try this. Let it guide you in your next baking venture!” Cora’s mocha eyes swirled with something that you couldn’t name. It was like enthusiasm, but more… sentimental. It caused your cheeks to look almost as pink as the pastry as you plucked it from his large, scarred hands. 

“Thanks. Looks amazing.” 

You waved him goodbye, earning a wink and good luck from the baker. You hurried out the door, feet shuffling awkwardly as you hid your face. It wasn’t the first time you left the bakery with red cheeks, and it definitely wouldn’t be the last.

☠️ Dastdeaths (spoilers) ⚰️

5. Shortcake (2012) - Mark (voodoo/witchcraft)

...Can't tell if The Baker puts some of him in the cake too, so it probably doesn't also count as cannibalism.

6. Mermaid (2012) - ??? (probably Mark again, as in... EVE's mark hahaha) (uhh... dragged to Atlantis? Down where it's wetter??)

Or... who knows, maybe she turns him into a Triton? Wait, no, that is from Galaktikon. Merman? This one is kinda inconclusive too tbh, I'm just including it because he vanishes at the end.

7. Cora (2013) - Vincent (stake through the heart)

Nothing a little blood and some Latin chanting can't fix 😡

8. Prisoners (2013) - Bob Taylor (self-inflicted gunshot)

I just realized he says "There's no time. It's okay." 😭😭😭 I want to destroy Loki.

Special mention: After Thought (2013) - Brandon Ames (???)

He's dead and alive. I don't know. This film is a bigger mystery than... Johnson.

Per @aroaessidhe: Little Thieves, The Kindred, The Summer of Bitter and Sweet, Gender Queer, (and I think The Bone Season?) have ace or demisexual MCs, not aromantic. also, a lot of the rest are side characters, not main characters.

Thank you, genuinely, so much, for this correction. I'm very sorry for the mistake. I create these guides between work assignments (I work from home, around the clock, trying to make ends meet in this mess of an economy) and didn't do my due diligence in double-checking every book. I think this started as an aro/ace list I was compiling and I tried to separate it into two guides. I apologize for the discrepancy vehemently and will strive to do better in the future. Thank you for catching my error.

To have his heart💕…part 1

Part 2

Part 3

“…you gonna be late, Cora-san…and that would leave a bad impression especially on a first date”, Law said as he was at the dining room table, eating dinner and reading one of his medical books.

Rosinantè slipped on his blazer and walked out to see his kid before ruffling his hair, “…I know, I know…just call me if you need anything…I shouldn’t be out too late…and if you can’t get a hold of me, call grandpa Sengoku”.

“…I’ll be fine, just go already and don’t forget the flowers”, Law said as he pointed to the roses without looking up.

Rosinantè took the flowers and headed out for his date. He had to admit, he was a little nervous since he hadn’t been on a date since Law started med school…they both were so busy but things finally stabilized.

He met Y/N at the marines HQ hospital unit while trying to get Law an internship. Y/N helped him out with all the paperwork as that was definitely not Rosinantè’s forte. He built up the courage to ask them out once he found out that they were single.

He thought the first date should be pretty simple like dinner and a walk afterwards since he didn’t want to put too much pressure on his potential S/O.

He got to the restaurant first (thankfully) and waited for Y/N. They wouldn't take too long to arrive and Rosinantè presented them with the flowers, "...I thought you might like these", he said gently.

Y/N accepted the flowers and inhaled their scent, "oh they're perfect, thank you so much", they said gently before giving him a hug.

He blushed in response before taking a seat opposite them, "...I'm glad you like them, so how has your day been?", he asked curiously as he watched his S/O settled down and take a sip of their water that the waiter had poured for them.

"It’s been pretty good, I just stayed in for most of the day…and baked some cookies “, Y/N said with a smile, “…and don’t worry, I brought some for you and Law”.

Before he could even inquire more about the cookies, a cute container was pulled out and handed over to him. This of course made him blush, not because they thought about him…but because they thought about his kid.

“…look at you, little miss/mr baker…thank you, I’ll make sure he gets them”, he said with a smile, “…I had a pretty relaxed day too, it’s my day off work and Law was just prepping as usual for the next week…I encourage him to go out with friends every now and then but he prefers not to”.

Y/N laughed a little in response, “…he’s got his head screwed on right…I don’t think you have anything to worry about”.

He smiled and rubbed the back of his neck, “Yeah, still though…”.

Y/N smiled in response and looked at the menu, “…shall we order, Rosinantè?”.

“Yes, of course…go ahead”, he said gently as he looked at the menu, but he already knew what he wanted to eat.

“You know when you asked me on a date, I was pretty surprised you were even single”, Y/N said with a smile after they placed their order.

This made Rosinantè blush again, “…o-oh? Why is that?”.

“Well you’ve never at the social events the marines usually host…I assumed it was because of your spouse or something along those lines”, Y/N replied gently.

Ah he could understand how that could look but he was just always busy with making sure his kid was fine even if they were a college student, he just never really thought about himself for such a long time. It was not in his nature to be that way.

“No, not a spouse but my kid is important to me even if he is pretty much an adult…I’ll try to attend those now if you’ll keep me company”, he said with a little smile.

“Of course, I will! It’s stressful being in the marines as it is…but the social parties do help every now and then to let loose…I count those as my social days so I don’t feel too bad for not going out as much as I should”, Y/N admitted with a little blush spreading across their cute face.

Oh how cute they were, he thought to himself.

“I didn’t think about it like that but you are correct, I should do the same…it would be nice to get to know some of my new colleagues better”, he said thoughtfully.

“So Rosinantè, this might be a bit of a heavy question…but I’d like to know what are you looking for when dating?”, they asked curiously.

Y/N was bold but he loved that, he was almost 40 and didn’t want to mess around anymore. He wanted to settle down and grow old with someone…maybe have more kids.

“No, I like that you asked that…I am looking for someone I could potentially spend the rest of my life with…I feel it’s time for that”, he admitted, “…same question but you answer this time”.

Y/N smiled in response as they took a moment to gather their thoughts and words, “I’m a hopeless romantic, I’ll admit but I’m realistic too…I’ve been into my career for so long that I feel like it’s time I found my forever person…someone who would genuinely care for me and value me as much as I would them…”.

This made Rosinantè smile in response, “I’m glad we are both on the same page…”.

After dinner, the couple walked out hand in hand, “…it’s a chilly tonight”, Y/N said as they looked up at the sky.

“You can have my coat if you like…”, Rosinantè said gently as he began taking off his coat, stopping only when he felt Y/N wrap their arms around his waist and cuddle into him.

“Nope, I’m good like this…”, they said with a big smile as they looked up at him.

He blushed a little in response, “…o-okay…let’s continue our walk then”, he said gently as he placed a hand on the back and slowly caressed as they walked.

“Do you want to go home for some coffee? My apartment isn’t that far from here”, Y/N asked gently as they walked.

By now, Rosinantè was starting to feel a little cold too but his ears began to burn when he heard Y/N invite him to their home.

“Oh sure, I wouldn’t want you to catch a cold…Sengoku would kick my ass if you got sick because of me”, he said with a weak smile, “…lead the way”.

Y/N smiled brightly in response and lead him to their apartment.

He ended up spending the night with nothing scandalous happening and made his way back home in the morning.

He opened the door as gently as he could without trying to make a sound and headed inside, “…good morning, dad…”, Law said with a little smirk across his face as he cuddled on the couch in a blanket and watched some tv.

Rosinantè blushed and scratched his head, “…sorry I was out all night…wasn’t my intention…did you eat?”.

“You’re alright, old man…I already made breakfast…yours is in the microwave as usual”, Law said before turning his attention back to the television, “…by the way, your brother was trying to call you all night…then he started calling me but I didn’t answer…he started sending drunk voice messages so I blocked him”.

Rosinantè sighed softly in response. It was Friday night so of course Doffy wanted to spend time together and since he and Law didn’t get along…he was often left alone with his big brother who would often get drunk and talk about their childhood.

“…my phone died…I’m sure I have a million messages too”, he grumbled as he put his phone to charge and went to take a shower. He came back to the kitchen and began eating while listening to the 323 voice messages Doffy sent.

Law came in and began washing up the dishes, “…so how’d the date go?”, he asked gently.

Rosinantè smiled a little, “…it went well…they sent some cookies for you that they baked…I want to continue to see them”.

“Oh yeah? That’s nice…I’m happy for you, dad…maybe now you’ll keep yourself preoccupied and stop forcing me to hang out with you”, he said with a grin.

“You little shit, I’ll make you regret that…“, Rosinantè said with a smirk as he began video calling Doflamingo.

“…hey where the fuck were you last night? I thought you were coming over”, Doffy said as he yawned, clearly still in bed…the lazy fuck that he was.

“Yeah, yeah I was busy…by the way…Law wants to spend day with you for some uncle/nephew time…you should come over”, Rosinantè said with a grin as he looked at Law who tried to snatch the phone away from him but was way too short compared to his dad, “…Cora-san, noooooo!”, he whined, using the endearing pet name.

“Oh yeah? I’ll be over in a couple of hours…make sure you got some food”, Doflamingo said with a smirk, “…see you soon, nephew! Love you!”.

Rosinantè laughed in response, “…now now, get ready for your uncle…you know he’s gonna a menace when he gets here”, he said as he ruffled his kid’s hair before texting his S/O a good morning text.

((I could picture this in my head and it’s so cute I can’t deal😂 ))

Hii hope everything is going well. I have a recent apetite for a fanfic where stiles is best friends with cora or a sister or brother of derek and derek is the best friends older brother and stiles has a crush and all maybe. Happy ending pretty please.

Sure!

Ecstasy by allfandoms93 | 11.3K | Explicit

Derek moves home after college in New York not expecting an instant connection to Cora's best friend, Stiles.

Crush by madsmeetsmisha | 16.3K | Explicit

What if Stiles had a little crush on Cora's brother Derek? What if he was always making a fool out of himself when the attractive werewolf was around? And what if Stiles tried his best to avoid him but Derek was suddenly everywhere...

^^^^ These were suggested additions. Thank you!! ❤️

Dude, Werewolves by mysecretashes | 29.6K

Stiles gets partnered with Cora for a history project, and they become bros. Also, he kind of falls in love with her older brother, Derek.

French Silk Pie, Baby | 2.6K

“See, your angel of a sister - ” Derek scoffs. Cora hasn’t been an angel since she was five months old. “ - agreed to date me, because my visa is about to expire and - ”

“I’d have to marry you for that, dumbass,” Cora butts in, rolling her eyes.

Dirty Little Secret by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella) | 91K | Explicit

“Holy shit, this is a date!” he blurted out, turning back to Derek wide-eyed. “This is a date! You intended for this to be a date, this was supposed to be a date!” He figured if he said it enough times, maybe he would believe it, but so far, no dice.

Derek was scowling again—seriously, did he want wrinkles?—but he just reached into one of the bags and pulled out a burger, checking what was written on the foil in sharpie before handing it over to Stiles.

“Of course it’s a date, what did you think this was?”

Flowerwolf & Beacon Roots by alisvolatpropiis | 5.2K | Explicit

Derek tries not to show his surprise, curiously hopeful, but still suspicious of Laura’s involvement. “Oh. How do you know my coffee order then?”

He grins. “The cute baristo knows your order, dude. All I had to do was ask for Grumpy Flower Guy’s usual.”

Derek huffs. “I’m not grumpy.”

“He says grumpily,” Stiles smirks, winking.

Putting the F-U-N in Funeral by apocryphal | 10.8K 

In which Derek is a bored secretary, Stiles is a baker who may or may not have ulterior motives, and there are entirely too many macaroons.

hey asshole by everchanginginks | 15.6K | Mature

The Hales moved in next door more than a year ago and while Cora and Stiles became fast friends, Stiles has yet to meet his best friend’s big brother, Derek, who’s been attending college in New York. When Derek comes home for the summer he makes less than a stellar impression. And vice versa.

Date me or my brother by Hepzheba | 2.5K

Derek is straight and his usual grumpy self, Derek also has a twin who is Gay and a complete Player. Somehow, Derek finds himself filling in for his Twin because the Player has double booked himself on the dating seen. Enter Stiles… Maybe Derek’s not so straight.

The Wonderful Mess We Made by haleonwheels | 34.6K | Explicit

Derek is Scott's rude older brother. Scott is Stiles' new best friend. Stiles is in a really hard situation (in more ways than one).

Or the one where Stiles Stilinski moves to Beacon Hills from New York City and immediately befriends Scott McHale. Scott tells Stiles he's an only child--except he really, really isn't. So how was Stiles supposed to know Derek From The Jungle is actually Derek McHale, Scott's older brother that he kept secret for a reason?

Permanent Fixture by linksofmemories_archive | 80.7K | Explicit

Derek is Scott's older brother. Stiles is Scott's best friend. Derek is falling in love with Stiles. This is a bit of a problem.

Even though he’s the middle child he used to get babied a lot because he was the only boy

He was very quiet as a kid around strangers but very extroverted with his family

He’s a nerd

He sings

He kept Erica’s & Boyd’s leather jacket along with some of Boyd’s shirts

His dad taught him how to bake

He likes to read

He was the oficial babysitter in the hale family because all the kids loved him

He’s shy (source:trust me bro)

Even though Braeden and him broke things off they still talk every once in a while

He speaks Spanish

He was Cora’s favorite when she was a baby

When he was a kid he had a collection of dried flowers that he used to collect

He used to wander off into the forest when he was a toddler

He wants to have kids

Trafalgar Law X CisFem Reader

"Here's one from his seventh grade winter formal." Rosinante flipped the page in the photo album you were holding.

In the photo was a gangly 13 year-old with the same exact scowl being directed at you from across the living room. He was wearing an untucked gray button down shirt with black cut-off at the ankle dickies, black combat boots and had a wallet chain dangling from his pocket.

"I bet everyone wanted a dance." you chuckled drinking in every detail of the photo.

"I didn't dance." your fiance muttered.

"Such a shame, why'd you go if you didn't want to dance?" you turned to the next page surprised to find Law in the center of a group photo from the same night.

On either side of him were a red head and another boy with jet black hair. Both were posed enthusiastically while a third taller boy stood behind them with platinum hair and a sheepish expression.

"Awe, was this your crew?"

"Ah that's Shachi, Penguin and Bepo." Rosinante pointed to each boy as he named them, "I'm surprised you haven't met them."

"Such unusual names," you glanced back up to Law, "you're still friends with them?"

"They still live here in Olympia, so we don't see each other often. But, yes we're still friends."

For some reason that made you happy. Law hadn't spoken about friends and you were starting to think he'd always been alone, though he seemed to be fine with being a loner.

"I'm glad you'll have some groomsmen." you smiled softly turning to a new page of silly pictures with the same boys.

"I'm guessing you haven't done much wedding planning then?" your soon to be father-in-law questioned.

"We're working on that." Law murmured.

"Baby steps," you nodded, "we're starting with the menu. But it seems you raised a picky eater."

"I'm not picky, I just know what I like." your fiance protested.

"Semantics." you shrugged looking up at Rosinante, "This man expects me, a baker, to have a wedding without a cake."

The blonde shuddered, "Well it is basically bread."

"Not you too!" you slumped back into the sofa, "bread and cake are two different things."

Law smirked, "They share similar qualities."

"You're impossible." you tossed a throw pillow at him drawing out a low chuckle that made your stomach flip.

You hadn't really heard Law laugh and though it was low and quiet, it was absolutely endearing.

"I'm sure the two of you will find a compromise." Rosinante assuredly patted your shoulder.

The day continued pleasantly as you snacked and looked at old photos. Rosinante had a treasure trove of embarrassing coming of age stories to share while your fiance objected and interrupted frequently to explain himself. You couldn't remember the last time you had such a calm day.

When was the last time you'd really laughed?

Law watched you chuckle at every story. He even had to avert his gaze before getting caught a few times. The way you cozied right up to Rosinante like you were completely comfortable even though you'd never met made him feel lighter. This relaxed side of you was so inviting and warm. He wished he could make it last longer.

He looked out the kitchen window at the darkened sky after dinner was finished.

"Cora-ya, we should get going."

"But it feels like you've only just arrived. Why don't you stay the night and leave in the morning?" Rosinante frowned.

"Oh, we don't want to overstay our welcome." you patted his forearm.

"Overstay?" the blonde shook his head,"You could never."

Law leaned forward in his seat, "We both have work in the morning, and F/N-ya goes in much earlier than I do."

"That's true." you pouted, "We'll come back soon or you can come out to Seattle, we have lots of planning to do."

Rosinante's eyes lit up, "I'd love to help, let me get your number so we can get some things together."

After exchanging information and packing up leftovers at the blonde's insistence, you and Law finally got back on the road. You settled into a comfortable quiet as music played softly.

"I adore him."

"Yeah?" Law's lips upturned slightly as his gaze remained on the road in front of you, "He gets a little too enthusiastic sometimes but I suppose he's alright."

You playfully swatted his shoulder and chuckled.

"You know you love him. He's a great dad."

"Sure." He stole a glance at you appreciating the way the stereo console lit up your features in the dark car.

"You're impossible." you chuckled  again before yawning.

"I know, I know." the raven nodded, "But really, I'm glad you two get along."

"You didn't think we would?" you asked, settling into the seat.

"Honestly? I wasn't sure. I guess I still don't know you very well. It was nice to see you relax."

Suddenly you were thankful it was dark as your face heated up and you averted your gaze out the passenger window, "Well, I can be fun sometimes."

There was that chuckle you had a new affinity for, "Noted."

"It really was a good day though." you smiled happy to finally have one.

A truly good day.

With your fiance.

The bell on the store front door chimed as you were gathering your things to wait for Law to pick you up. You sighed, Usopp must’ve forgotten to lock up. Placing your coat and bag on your desk you stepped out of your office.

“I’m sorry we’re close-”

“I know-yoi,” the tall blonde called back as you rounded the corner and stopped in your tracks, “What have I told you about locking the door after dark?”

“You can’t be here.” you stated as firmly as you were able.

It was annoying that you still felt your stomach drop at the sight of him. Getting over the love of your life was such a daunting process and it didn’t help that he made it a point to randomly insert himself into your life.

“Well, you reject my calls and don’t answer my texts. What was I supposed to do-yoi?” his half lidded gaze swept over you.

“Because I blocked you. We can’t be seen together, I’ve already told you and your brother this.” you sighed, “Please stop making things more difficult.”

“So, just like that you’re over me?” he furrowed his brows but stayed put in front of the display cases.

“Is there a problem here?” the bell on the door chimed again punctuating your fiance’s question.

Marco turned surprised, “There’s no problem-yoi. We’re just talking.”

“We were just discussing how he should leave.” your voice was shakier than you would have liked.

“You’re the match right? The doctor?” the blonde turned to Law completely.

“And you're the ex.” he replied calmly.

Marco’s eyes widened a fraction before he glanced back over to you appearing to search for some confirmation, which you obliged by nodding.

He ran his left hand over his face and huffed,, “Fine. I don’t want to start an argument-yoi.”

“You should keep your distance then.” Law muttered trying to keep his tone even.

He hadn’t expected to ever come face to face with Marco, or for that chance meeting to make him feel so tense. Seeing your discomfort had him clenching his fist.

“What’s that supposed to mean-yoi?”

“Marco.” you drew the blonde’s attention again, “Please.”

With that he turned abruptly and brushed passed Law muttering obscenities to himself as he stepped back out onto the sidewalk and stalked off.

“Are you alright?” Law asked crossing the room.

“Yeah, thanks.” you sighed again letting your shoulders relax.

“What did he want?”

“I didn’t let him get that far and then thankfully you walked in.” you stepped back into your office to grab your things, “Sorry, he just let himself in. I’ll double check the locks more often.”

“You don’t have anything to apologize for.” Law watched you slip into your coat and grab your bag.

“Let's just get outta here.” brandishing your store keys you and your fiance stepped out and locked the shop up.

It was just after 8PM and dark out but there were still a few cars parked along the other storefronts. An expensive black sedan parked directly across from your store caught your attention briefly as the engine revved to life before it slowly pulled away. It seemed out of place but you shrugged it off as Law began to ask you about your day on the short walk to his car.
