After all that had happened, Steve sat back, feeling nostalgic and out of place again, just...

He couldn't stop remembering his childhood and the times he spent with you and Bucky. He would give anything to return to those times and make what he always dreamed of come true.

He sighed, took the keys, and went out. Unfortunately, it had become a habit to visit your grave at least once a week.

Steve regretted very few things, and one of those was not proposing to you; he was going to do it once the war was over. He had the perfect picture in his mind: coming back from the war like a hero, knocking on your door, and just as you opened it, he would get down on one knee and ask you to marry him. The ring was the same one his mother had worn since he was a child; he had thought it was stunning.

He cleaned up your grave a bit, put the flowers on it, and said he would give anything to be with you again to clear up the lie he discovered at the Smithsonian.

I'm sorry for the lies you surely heard. I would like to see you again to explain everything that really happened. I have never stopped loving you.

1928

"When we grow up, Y/N is going to marry me," Bucky assured.

You frowned.

"No, I'm going to marry Stevie," you assured.

1937

You looked out again to make sure you had lost Bucky. You didn't want him to interrupt your first date; you hadn't told him you were dating either, and luckily he didn't get to interrupt you.

first kiss.

"I don't think he'll find us," you commented.

"Then we should go to the movies; I think you'll like the movie they're showing."

2023

Steve knew it was the only chance he would have; he would take care of making things right, and he hoped the rest would understand, but the truth was that he also deserved to have his happy ending and to fulfill all his dreams.

The first thing I would do would be to go to your house, clear everything up, then look for and release Bucky.

1945

He had missed the neighborhood; he remembered it perfectly. He stopped a few meters from your house, took a breath, and hoped you weren't angry or that you didn't want to see him.

"Who...? " You couldn't complete the sentence when you saw Steve in front of you, kneeling. You recognized the ring; it was the one his mother used to wear. What are you doing here, Steve? A few weeks ago, a woman came and told me that you were engaged and then that you had died."

"Do you remember the woman's name?"

"I remember her last name was Carter."

"It's not true what she said; I have always loved you; I came to keep my promise; I have a lot of things to tell you; let's go in; it's complicated and it will take a long time; but first, will you marry me?"

You smiled; you knew that Steve had never betrayed you; you stretched your hand so he would put the ring on your finger; you wanted him to tell you everything because you didn't understand many things, but you knew you were going to be very happy.

The Death of the Gentleman

My ex-wife and I once set up a double date with a young woman in her thirties and her not-quite-yet boyfriend. We liked to party, so we went all out with our plans - dinner, drinks, dancing, and a car service, so no one had to drive. About 5 o'clock rolls around and this young woman's date, while "really looking forward to it," will be "really late" because "something came up at work." "Ugh," she said, "he's not coming. He's going to stand me up." My ex-wife and I, being the naive married types, assured her that work sometimes comes up and that if he says he'll be there he'll be there. We decided we would go ahead and have a few drinks and if nothing else, start dinner. 

He never showed. He never texted her, he never called her. He just disappeared. She was obviously humiliated, but took it like a champ, and my ex and I were able to convince her to come along for the rest of the evening. Why let a good night go to waste, right? Of course all night she was understandably upset because, not only did she get stood up, but unless you're dead or in the hospital, when you just fail to appear, the relationship is over. That added sting of knowing the relationship had ended so badly just adds to the bad feelings. The evening ended with my ex and I being dropped off at a nice hotel and the driver taking her home to continue wondering "what's wrong with me."

Being a man requires sacrifice. Sometimes work gets in the way, especially when you're in your 30s, building that career, during the "slave years," as I've labeled them. But, a gentleman always keeps in touch and makes every effort, especially on a special night planned way in advance, to put work aside to make a woman happy. The very last thing a gentleman does is fail to show altogether. Leaving a woman at the dinner table is absolutely unacceptable under almost any circumstance. 

The fact is, "gentlemen" are an increasingly rare breed. Most men these days, especially in their 20's and 30's, are overgrown man-children who feel no obligation to commit to a woman, or anything else for that matter. They wander through life like modern day cave-boys, entirely separated from the conventions of marriage, commitment, etiquette, manners, and traditional manliness. Women are nothing more than sexual objects and relationships have largely been reduced to "hook ups," or meeting at the bar.

Women are not blameless in this. While there may be precious few gentlemen left, women do not challenge these men to be any better than they are. Women are "hooking up" with these guys without any obligations imposed or expectations communicated. They make excuses and go back to guys that treat them badly because, deep down, they do not think they can do any better. They do not require their men to be gentlemen and treat them with respect, so they aren't and they don't.

Just like the "Omega Man" is frequently confused with the "Alpha Male," many of these guys are mistaken for true gentlemen just because they have some money, or "don't hit," or pay for dinner. Often times, women find the idea of dating a gentleman boring. They fear that he's a dork or poorly adjusted socially, or "old fashioned" and paternalistic. But this is also a mistake. Just because a man is a gentleman, that does not mean that he doesn't indulge, enjoy women, or sometimes play rough. In Margret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind, for example, Rhett Butler was often found at the "gentlemen's club" when Scarlett needed his help. Of course, he dropped everything to help her - like a gentleman - but he had no compunction about indulging, especially with women, and sometimes playing a little rough.

So, here are some tips for identifying a true gentleman. This is not an exhaustive list, and it is simply my personal list, but it is a good start:

1.  A gentleman fights cleanly with a woman. No low blows. He does not  hit a woman, lay his hands on a woman in an intimidating way during a confrontation, throw anything at a woman, or call her nasty names. A gentleman does his best to listen and not react emotionally. Admittedly, after two decades of a marriage I learned that not saying hurtful things in a fight is sometimes hard, but it is something you have to strive to do. When a woman is acting violently, rudely, or otherwise inappropriate, a gentleman will tell her that he does not appreciate her behavior and then leave.

2.  A gentleman always pays for everything. It doesn't matter whether she asked you out or not. It doesn't matter whether you "met up at the bar" or not. A gentleman always pays and pays for everything, even if she brings a friend.

3.  A gentleman listens to a woman until she is done talking and does not interrupt her.

4.  A gentleman always dresses slightly better than is necessary for the occasion.

5.  A gentleman gives the women in the room or at the table his full attention. He doesn't caucus with the other guys and talk about guy things while the girls talk about girl things. A gentleman strives to be engaging and, to that end, tries to include everyone in the conversation.

6.  A gentleman always compliments his date's appearance, is generous with his praise, encourages her, and makes her feel like the most important person in the world, especially when she is out with him.

7.  A gentleman always opens the door for a woman and allows women to precede him in a line, elevator, or going out a door. She always walks first, the gentleman follows, sometimes with a reassuring, guiding hand gently placed on her lower back.

8.  At dinner, a gentleman is the last to be seated and the first to grab the bill when it comes.

9.  In a restaurant, a gentleman stands for a woman when she gets up from or returns to the table.

10.  After a date, a gentleman always arranges the transportation and makes sure his date gets home safely.

11.  When it's time for the first kiss, a gentleman asks his date if he can kiss her. He doesn't just plunge. Not only is it polite and respectful to ask, but I've been told it's hot too. 

12.  A gentleman spoils a woman. He buys her flowers, clothes, perfume, takes an interest in her things and makes sure she feels special to him.

13.  A gentleman volunteers to help a woman, whether it's with her bag, her suitcase, car trouble, or a problem with the house. A gentleman offers to help with her chores, and a gentleman always provides for and takes care of the children, even if they are not his own.

14.  A gentleman always shows up.

Headcanons about Zhongli with God reader:

Warnings: general Sagau stuff, slightly suggestive at one, vague mentions of violence at another

• For starters, he absolutely considers himself to be the most devoted, both among the other Archons and the rest of the world

• Because of how that's more of a subjective statement, he doesn't really have any way of proving it, and it absolutely irks him to no end

• Venti uses that to his advantage when all the Archons play the "Who can annoy Zhongli the fastest" game

• Right now Venti is crowned the winner at 753 to 1

• But moving away from that, Zhongli follows worship in a very traditional way

• He's a very traditional person, causing him to fall into this role seamlessly

• He does have a bit of a tendency to go overboard in the "traditional" aspect though

• He has an entire personal library dedicated to every single piece of text that even briefly mentions you, and tends to rely on them heavily to learn things about you, often without questioning the information

• "No no, I distinctly remember reading that your favorite flower was Dendrobium."

• "But Lamp Grass literally glows-"

• "It's just a grass, it can barely constitute as a flower! There is no way you didn't have plants that glowed where you last lived."

• It gets a bit frustrating for him, not towards you of course, but towards the books

• He's disgusted how so many of the works in his library are full of "blatant misinformation"

• Eventually, he just starts keeping his own notes, correcting every contradiction himself

• He might have even gone so far as to publish it under an anonymous name, if it didn't contain some of the more "personal" information about certain specific preferences of yours that fall in a more "intimate" setting

• "Hey Zhongli, what's this big book called 'Personal notes on the divine creator'? I've never seen it before."

• "... Those are my very boring and completely irrelevant transaction notes from the last decade, it's just full of numbers and acronyms, it would be nothing of interest to you, please don't open it-"

• Exactly how he conducts his worship differs heavily on whether or not he's still considered an Archon

• Under the assumption that he is, you'll be absolutely lavished in fineries

• Nothing is too good, and very few things are good enough

• You'll be gifted things you never even heard of in game

• He'll also give you the option to either take your pick out of the most glorious dwellings available, or, if none of them are to your liking, you can have one custom made

• Of course you really shouldn't have to trouble yourself with all the details, he'll pick up the slack by using the very meticulous information he gathered on your tastes to fill in blanks

• He's going to be the Archon that tries to completely fill your desires, down to the T

• Any small minor mistake means he needs to scrap the entire thing

• Also, there's a concerningly high chance he might crash the economy on accident from the amount of mora he's putting into it

• Now when he's not an Archon... It's all going to be much more personal

• He's going to try to accomplish whatever you want himself instead of just hiring someone else to do it, because he's broke

• You'll probably have to assure him a few times that it's really not that big of a deal that you couldn't get a very specific one of a kind piece of jewelry that cost upwards of 20 million mora

• (You do still get it, and on a completely unrelated note, he now owes Childe a really big favor)

• He does still give you lots of gifts, they're just more personal and easier to obtain

• Instead of hiring on expensive and experienced chef, he'll try making the dish himself

• He could probably go pick the flowers himself instead of dropping a couple thousand mora, right?

• He's keeping his library though, mora be damned

• Continuing on, this sense of traditionalism extends into his other mannerisms, like speaking

• It's very rare for him to directly say anything to you without it ending with some formal title

• It really doesn't matter how many times you correct him, how many times you tell him that your first name is perfectly fine, he'll either insist, or say that he'll try to stop and then not

• Rather serious when it comes to your honor, if he's in the same room as someone who references you by your name instead of your title, he'll immediately correct them

• How politely he corrects them depends entirely on who it is

• And God forbid anyone actually speak bad about you in a place where he can hear

• Acts of disrespect are dealt with quickly and efficiently

• If someone decides they want to use their tongue to spout such blasphemy, then they don't deserve to have one

• Affection wise, he's is a bit uncomfortable with instigating it, considering it to be disrespectful

• But he also gets jealous pretty easily when he sees someone else (Venti) practically hanging off your arm

• He's absolutely delighted whenever you instigate it yourself though, always moving to mimic your motions but never going further

• If you were to just tell him what you wanted he would gladly do it, but him assuming what you want is out of the question

• It's not only incredibly disrespectful towards you, in his mind

• He also doesn't know if he could live with being rejected in any form

• It would cause the currently unwavering idea that you prefer him over anything and everything to start crumbling

• So he would rather play it safe, at the disadvantage of losing out on some of your attention

• He does always try to be near you, or at least have somebody under him near you, in the case something happens

• He would never risk other people's incompetence interfering with your happiness and wellbeing

• There are many different excuses he uses to always try to be near you, and the most prominent one is knowledge

• You haven't been in Teyvat long, your knowledge is a bit lacking in a lot of aspects surrounding the world

• Lucky for you, you have a multi-thousand year old being who has a smattering of knowledge on pretty much everything at your beck and call

• Anything you could possibly think about asking, he probably knows at least something about, he's like your own personal search engine

• He doesn't really know what a "search engine" is, but by God, he's going to be the best one you've ever had

• He takes pride in any name you give him of course, whether he understands it or not

• (and please don't try to explain the Internet to him, poor guy wouldn't understand it even if he lived in our world)

Pronouns used for reader; None, only 'You', 'Your', etc...

Prompt;

"For the men who likes to praise their lover, raise your hands. If you like to degrade them, keep your hands down." (In a nice way.)

Aamon - Praising.

I mean, have you realized how much he kept sacrificing for his family? Why in the world would he make you feel degraded, in a situation that's supposed to be intimate?

Just imagine him praising the shit out of your insecurities while he thrusts deep into your needy hole.

If you're into degrading, however, he'll try his best to improve his dirty talk towards you. He'll probably be into it after getting used to it, but no promises.

Will be flustered if you praise him. Or even degrade him! He would be flustered either way.

Imagine looking up at his focused face while he thrusts into you, say one praise, one degrading comment, and his thrusts would falter, while his face would turn red. Adorable.

"My love.. you're taking me in so well, I'm so deep inside you, yet you're still sucking me in. You want to make a heir for the family? You want to, right? My love?"

Aldous - Neutral.

He's dead set on guarding the Minoan Labyrinth. He never really figured out what he's into. He was never greedy for wealth, or anything. Only that he's loyal to you and he should do his duty.

One thing's for sure, he's afraid to hurt you during sex. He'll try his best to not hurt you with his humongous, scaly, and tough hand. But both of you know you'll find a scratch or two the next day.

While on the topic about how he acts during sex, he'll never take of his mask, but he would rub soothing shapes into a part of you that he scratched with his other arm.

If you're into degrading, he would be conflicted. But after you degrade him— tell him that he couldn't fuck you better. He'll go feral.

If you're into praising. Pull down his hood, run your hand through his hair, say a praise, and he would fall for you harder. Thrusts becoming softer and his mask would be slipping from his face.

Wanna hear what he says during his climax? "Feels... so... good. I'm never letting go of you. I'm not leaving you, I'll protect you. Like how I protect the Labrynth. I love you."

Alpha - Both.

He scans you all the time. He knows how to make you feel good, with or without using words. Also, he's a humanoid robot, whatever you like— He'll try to like it as well. To understand of course!

Imagine him lowering his lips close to your neck and whispering something degrading, but he'll follow it up with the most adoring praise that someone could say to you.

Will use his scanning feature to either praise you for taking his whole length, or either mock you for nearly passing out.

If you think you can make him flustered while he's too far in, and could be considered as drunk from your sex, believe me. You won't. He'll simply laugh and make you flustered instead.

If you've been a brat to him, rest assured he'll treat you like one. Maybe even have Beta to record so you'll have some lessons to re-listen to.

"You should be absolutely nothing to a humanoid robot like me, yet you have to swoop in and mess up my programming. Beta's recording this, and we'll rewatch it over and over again."

Alucard - Degrading.

Absolute narcissist if you aren't there to put him in his spot. So he often switches up on his dirty talk during sex, which is easier said than done. Why..?

Because he sucks at trying to talk while he's burried deep inside you because you just feel so amazing. He's like that one jock that acts tough but is a massive sub-switch in bed. He still tries though.

Alucard's a demon hunter that's desperate for release, but is in denial because of that fact. He tries everything to push the desperate thoughts away by; Degrading you.

Just imagine him desperately humping into you after trying to cum from jacking off. He'll beg for your forgiveness and ask you to push his cock into your hole. Then say a degrading comment, after that, he'll start to cry. It's not because he felt hurt, it's because he got turned on even more by your comment.

You know how he brags about his strength in his voice lines? Imagine his voice and raise it up, there. You got your whiny, subby Alucard voice.

"You're a- a fucking bratty slut— hnn! Making me wait to fuck you into oblivion. You're my- slu—aaht!"

Argus - Degrading.

He's been neglected of what he deserved, ever since he was born. Of course he'll want to take that anger out on someone by degrading them. That someone was; You.

His trust issues made him really vulnerable to your love. That's why he tries to be as horrible as possible, to prove that you're only loving him out of pity. Never caring for your well-being during sex.

You'll prove him wrong though. You take his insults and turn them into soft, degrading praises, which in return, discourages Argus from not loving you more than you love him.

But keep this in mind. He developed a kink from degrading you, and making himself feel better about himself. So you better let him degrade you, so you can degrade, and praise him back.

Think about how he'll use his powers when you scratch his body. He'll let you scratch him as hard as you can, and then he'll pound into you harder. Laughing at your cry of surprise.

"Do you realize what kind of situation you got yourself into? You made me fall inlove, now, you have to take every, single, pleasure I give you until I'm satisfied."

Brody - Praising.

His tragic backstory proves a lot about how much he loved, and wanted everyone he knew back. He'd never risk losing you as well. So he does his best to make you feel loved, and protect you while doing so.

Also, he never had someone to love before. So you agreed to let him explore his kinks. After awhile, he found out that praising you, hearing your whines of happiness was the best thing he loved to do for you.

Push in a small praise of reassurance for him, and he'll sputter out 'I love you's', and 'thank you's' because you're the one that never fell out of his protective grasp.

Tie his hair up with your hand and imagine his reaction. If you can't, then I'm telling you. The glint in his eyes would grow brighter, and he would tear up from feeling loved.

Imagine he just kisses you while pushing inside you, and he whispers a praise that makes you feel dizzy. He's just too loving for you to degrade him!

"Thank you.. thank you so much for not leaving me. I'm never letting go of you until I die. I promise, because you're so good to me."

Bruno - Praising.

But seriously, his compassion and the impossible amount of love for you shows more than what you bargained for.

Even if you pissed him off, he'll find a way to make you feel guilty and loved at the same time. With only a praise, this man will make you fall to his control in no time. He has the power to kill you with praises!

Also, think about his smirk after you whine at his praise. He'll never let you hear the end of his countless praise because of your adorable voice. Can you really blame him? He just admires you that much and loves you a lot.

Push his hips by using your legs. See how that turns out? He goes insane and almost raps about how bold you were getting during sex. Seriously.

Before I forget, Bruno loves to tease you when you completely get embarrassed because of his words. He's desperate to see you like that and would fuck you every hour if he has to.

"Your whines sounds so cute! Can you make more for me? Come on, I know you can. Should I just force it out of you? Win another game of ours? Fuck you dumb so you can follow my every instruction?"

Chou - Praising.

His desire to bring justice definitely puts you in a position where he worships you like his soulmate. He'll love to praise you, and give you long and meaningful kisses while you two do it!

As well-mannered as he is, he is quite messy on his word picking. He'll mispronounce a word or two, but it's settled that he'll make you feel butterflies, 'No matter what'.

Try to feel his shaky hands caressing your face, with a praise that you'll surely get butterflies from. If you imagined it right— That's how much he worships you.

Do you know how to return the favor during it? Run your hands through his fluffy hair, and cry out a soft 'thank you' for his love. He'll definitely follow your gratitude with another praise that repeats the cycle.

By the way, you giving him everything makes him feel entitled to do anything for you. So... you kind of have a loyal puppy that is eternally grateful for everything you do to him, with praises that make you feel grateful as well!

"You're the only one that can bring me to my knees. Both in an appropriate, and.. inappropriate way. Please take it, take my gratitude and my love. Let me keep pushing it inside you until we both lose our minds."

Claude - Praising.

Do I have to say more about how he loves you and your beautifully formed body? In his words, no valuable in the world could compare to your beauty. Seriously! He'll dress you up in tons of outfts to prove that.

He loves to praise you, as much as he loves to be greedy with a bunch of valuables that is close to his grasp. As much as he'd like to swoop your heart again, he already has it.

Think about how much he'll tell you you're precious to him while he takes it slow with you. Undressing you from the outfit he bought and kissing your shoulder after he's done.

Wanna make him forget a robbery he's supposed to do after you two are done? Praise him for being able to take care of Dexter, because that monkey was like a child.

One thing about his praises, is that it always follows up with a gem being placed inside the locket around your neck. Like; He'll distract you with numerous amounts of praise, and after that. You'll hear the familiar click of your locket.

"That's my precious gem, always ready to take my gifts for them. You're shining so much from the cum you keep giving me. You're such a sweetheart, spoling me in this way."

Clint - Neutral.

He fights crime in the name of justice. And since fighting crime is his gig, and he always come to people in need of rescuing, he doesn't really have the time to choose on whether or not he should be praising you or doing the opposite.

Instead, he just shows his love for you during sex silently. Holding your hand and stroking your sides to make you feel shivers down your spine.

When he doesn't say anything, you'll do it for him. Praising him if he needs to just show his love to you, degrading him if he became too rough with you. Even though he'll just be more rough with you right after you say that.

Once he takes off his hat after the second round, you know you're fucked. Because he wants to say a lot of things, but can't because his throat is too exhausted from the day.

Also, if he takes one look of the gun that was discarded on the floor, he'll battle himself mentally if he could ask you to roleplay or not— Thus making him more rougher and ignorant of your cries of overstimulation.

Hear him out on this one.. "'M gonna take ya out on a nice date right after this. Make ya feel loved like the good, amazin' person you are for being loyal to me as well."

Dyrroth - Degrading.

You can possibly figure out why he likes to degrade, and take control over you during sex. If not, it's because he's been kidnapped, and trained ever since he started growing. That's why.

Don't be mad when he insults you for not taking his instructions seriously. He just wants to feel like he's in control for once, and you messing up makes him upset.

Do you wanna compete with him in degrading? Yeah? Well don't, he'll destroy you with disgraceful comments that makes you think he hates you. But he really doesn't. It's only because you ticked him off that made him mad.

Imagine he grabs your neck and mocks you for crying. But later on, he asks for forgiveness and cuddles you to sleep after cleaning you up.

I can't really provide you in any scenario that you get your way. But there is one thing. If you're having a cuddly sex dream, and Dyrroth notices. You technically get what you wanted from him. Cuddly sex.

"You're like a fucking slut for my demon cock. You think you can get your way? Nooo, you can't, and I'm gonna ruin your perfect picture if you disobey me, even once."

Estes - Praising.

Since he's more overprotective of you than anything, I can't imagine him having the guts to degrade you. He thinks it's too risky, and decides to abide by his hopes and showers you unconditionally with praises.

He loves to have eye contact with you while he praises you. You can't tell me otherwise, since he gives off the vibes that he puts effort into making every moment with you as romantic as possible.

Think about how lovestruck he would be while you to made love. His mind would jumble up at the sight of you, and he'll kiss you longingly, and praise you one last time after you both finish.

Whisper something sinfully innocent next to his ear, and he's immediately humping and grinding inside you within seconds. His morals will probably be scratched of his mind for a few hours.

Imagine him just reading out a book full of protection, and healing spells while you cockwarm him. And after he finishes, he kisses you and tells you how good you were for being so patient with him.

"You're my heaven in this world, my dear. I know you can feel me going in... and out of you. Do you want me to make you carry the next generation of elves? Do you want that, for us, my dear?"

Granger - Both.

A secretive guy like him is unpredictable. So if you see him preparing to say something during sex— expect the unexpected. Like a praise, or a degrading insult. Whichever one it is, you should try to expect it.

He leans towards praising, because you make the most beautiful moans when he does that. But it some occasions, if he wants to hear a soft crack in your voice, he'll lean towards degrading without hesitation.

Think about how much he's desperate for your voice. He'll do anything you like just so you can make those noises for his greedy ears over and over again.

Want to hear a noise from him? Well, whisper breathily in his ear about something suggestive, and he'll do just that. Who was he to resist your voice anyways?

Imagine he just makes you play the violin with him slowly sheathing himself inside you. That's the definition of pleasurable music practice. If not. Both of you love it either way.

"That's it. Play the A7 key, keep playing it while I finish pushing myself inside you, okay? Oh, your finger is loosening up. I should stop until you compose yourself. Hm?"

Gusion - Degrading.

There'll be a lot of misunderstandings between you two, so it's probably reasonable that he likes to degrade you a lot during bed. If you're comfortable that is, which in most cases, you are.

He's not really mean to you, and doesn't act like you really are the words he insulted you with. You're his whole world, so please don't take his degrading words seriously! He really loves you!

By the way, pretend you're struggling to slap him with an insult. It'll surely spurr him on to fuck you harder, and degrade you even more.

Scratch his back for a bit. Check his reaction and enjoy how much his face looks so fucked out after you continue doing it. He's played with knives before, and your nails scratching him reminds him about his amazing training.

Imagine he just pulls out his knife and makes you say that you're his slut while slowly slowing down his thrusts until you say it. Abolutely terrifying but exciting at the same time.

"C'mon slut. It's that easy, only three words. And I'll stop pointing my knife at you. Can't you say it for me? There you go. That's my good slut."

Hayabusa - Praising.

You know how he was arranged to marry Hanabi from the start? Well, after finding you, he used every bit of his energy to shoo away the degrading thoughts you have for yourself.

If he ever once hear you degrade yourself infront of him, get ready to either be greeted with lovely poems, gifts. Or, a sensual night in your rooms. It's his mission to praise you until you gain confidence in yourself!

Also, he's not the only one that likes to praise you. You enjoy praising him to remind him that he shouldn't bear the burden that was put onto his shoulder.

Want to do exactly just that? Pull him closer to you and press your lips againts the mask over his mouth. Whisper to him that he's been so good to you. And he'll melt.

Hayabusa will try so hard just to make you feel good. Including overstimulating your pleasure so he could know that you truly felt good with him, not just pretending for his sake.

"My only goal is to prove to you that I love you. I can't stop doing this until you say that you love me, cry out my name in pleasure. I'll stop my mission in being the next Akakage to be with you."

Johnson - Neutral.

Him being a quarterback has its setbacks, he can't make love to you unless there is just a sliver of time that's given to the both of you. So, naturally, he can't just praise you, or degrade you during it.

He does however, have a habit of caressing your small body. In a way, that's his version of praising you. Rubbing your nipples when you make a noise he likes, or squeezing your hips when you clench around him.

He mostly just groan out when you two do it. But on some rare occasions, he'll praise you, and you'll praise him back. It's adorable how there will be a soft red tint on the lights of his cyborg body.

Pull him down and kiss the metal part of his forehead to tease him, he'll whine and nuzzle your face after you turn away. Not giving him the kisses he deserves. :(

Imagine he's just destroying your hole, then randomly stops because you made a praise about his old self. But don't think he got upset! He was just stunned because his confidence raised even more than before.

"I promise you one day, when all the fighting has finally stopped. I'll make you fel better. Let you ride me while I'm in my car form. You'd like that, right? You'd like to do that with me?"

Khufra - Degrading.

He's a selfish man, who's lost the only lover who betrayed him. Of course he wants to just throw insults at you to finally get rid of the grudge he has againts love.

He still tries to praise you though, he wants to give love a chance because of how you were so lovable. But unforunately, he's been used to degrading you that he can't praise you without having full control of himself.

Think about how he'll use his raw strength to push you down and degrade you for not being able to keep your composure during sex. Simple way to keep his sub, you, under his control.

You better not be sensitive, because he's brutal and not shameless about degrading you. Even if you cry at his words, he wouldn't care, because he thought it's just a thing you do in having sex for a long period of time.

If you beg for him to continue, his power would grow, and he'll go even harder on you. Even if you beg for him to stop after your fifth orgasm.

"You wanted this with me, and you're gonna take it how my lover should. See?! That's what I mean, you're crying despite agreeing to being with me. You're pathetic."

Lancelot - Praising.

Do I really have to say more on why he loves to praise you? Or more precisely, himself? If yes, it's easily because of how much of a narcissist he is and how awestruck he was, to both him and you.

He loves to praise you infront of a mirror, half of it is because he truly adored your gorgeous body, and the other half being that he admires how absolulely stunning he was while making love to you.

Nothing can stop him from praising you countless of times during sex. You're the person that humbled him, and he shared the love for himself to you.

Humble the shit out of him by only mildly praising him during sex, it'll force him to fuck you harder and eventually, pry a stronger praise for you. But only a slightly stronger one.

Please don't look away from his eye contact with you! He'll literally sob for hours if you disappoint him like that. Love making should be intimate, so why would you look away from him?

"My rose, don't stop looking at me through the mirror, do you even see how gorgeous you are while we do this? You do, don't you? You see yourself and feel beautiful? No? Well I'm making love to you until you feel that way."

Leomord - Praising.

His desire to protect you and Vexana really put a toll on the never ending despair on his heart. He wanted to run away with you, but with the oath he and his army vowed. The only thing he could do, was to love you in secret.

He wouldn't risk losing you, like the darkness that consumed the once beautiful place he called his home. So he often loves you in every way possible when he could. Behind Vexana's back.

Think about how he would make love to you for hours because Vexana was asleep. He won't stop until you reached your peak for the tenth time, and only then will he cum with you and kiss you like you're the only thing keeping him alive.

Run your hands through his hair and kiss his jaw when he's grinding into you. The loud groan he'll let out will make your praising worth it. He deserves to feel loved as well. Not just you.

Imagine how tight, but gentle he'll hold you when he reaches his end. You can practically feel the love he lets out when you kiss him comfortingly right after. He deserves better than to live an eternal life in the undead. :(

"You're the only thing worth living for, not for Vexana. Not for serving the queen. You're mine, but not in death. But I promise you, I'll join you in the afterlife if I can finally rest. I love you."

Ling - Both.

Hear me out, he's that type of guy that only becomes sweet when he's in a good mood. And becomes sour when he's had a bad day. So either expect a lot of praises in a good day of training, or a lot of insults if he got pissed off by Zilong.

Think about the monotone look in his eyes as he degraded you like it's no problem. Or how much love is filled in them while he praises you. You're surely gonna go insane from those looks.

Imagine he's just sensually thrusting in and out of you, up until the point where you urged him to go faster. That's when he made you stay up until dawn.

Usually, he's okay with a compliment or two from you. But during sex? Oh, it'll make him have butterflies within seconds if you praise him for being so good to you. Bonus points if you tell him he shouldn't be so worked up about Zilong. Because he'll go nuts.

He's bent you over and told you to compliment yourself when you first told him you weren't good enough for him. Took you a few hours of missing training, and a lot of praising from him until you finally did.

"See how you've affected me? I've grown stronger than Zilong, and I want to give you back every bit of energy you've spent training and loving me."

Moskov - Both.

Trust isn't a thing for him, so he had a hard time deciding on whether or not he should give you the love you deserve, or push degrading things into you to see if you really were inlove with someone like him.

Overtime, he became trusting of you, and it became a usual that he switches things up every now and then to fuel his once desire for fun and adventure. Praising being the usual, and degrading being the one every now and then.

Think about the countless things both of you will do, and the way he switches up his dirty talk while doing it. We love a man who can switch up his whole personality to fit your desires. >v<

One thing he likes you to whisper to him is something along the lines of; 'You're so excited for this', or 'Bet you're gonna do another one to destroy me again?' — Believe me. He won't believe that he got you as a lover.

Imagine both of you are fucking in a few sets of trees, and you whisper that he couldn't destroy those trees with only his spear. Oh boy, does he prove you wrong by fucking you harder and almost destroying the whole patch of trees.

"You earning my trust is something I don't regret. I love you, I really do. But beware, you're my lover, and you shouldn't betray me. Or else death will be the only thing left for you on the other side."

Natan - Both.

Well he doesn't know whether he's spouting out praises or degrading. You just have to deal with him saying sorry if he degraded you. Even if you enjoyed his insults.

He's the sweetest of hearts when you praise him back. So you better do it, or else he's just treating you like he does, every other day.

But when you degrade him? Whooo, weee, be prepared for a three day break about him trying to prove to you he's not what you said, because he's upset.

Wanna know how much he sucks at identifying the difference between the two? He's stumbling on his words and losing his composure when he tries his best to praise you.

Do you enjoy being overstimulated until you lose your mind? Tease him by saying he doesn't know how to manage his time well. You'll know how he could get carried away while fucking you senseless for the nth round.

"It's only been five minutes since your previous orgasm, and you're cumming again? I thought you said I couldn't manage and keep track of time, love. Can you even last thirty minutes without cumming?

Paquito - Praising.

First of all, he's never been the one to make you think less of yourself, because it's always reminded him how cruel the world would be in deciding who should fight who. So he never once used harsh words on you, even outside of sex. Like how it should be.

And second, he's scared to lose control of the amount of overwhelming powers in his fists. He keeps his mind in check every time you two do it together.

In most cases, you try to make him let go, because you were afraid he'll bottle up his frustration and possibly leave you for someone who could take him.

The moment he lost control, you found out he still loves to praise you, which made you relax your anxiety. But he fucks you like an animal in heat. Taking his frustration out on you like he wanted.

Praise him about how much he was worth because of how many people he saved and protected. Do it, and he'll have nothing on his mind than to pleasure you.

"You being like this makes me want to go harder on you. But please, tell me that you can really take it, I love and care for you. I don't want you to feel scared because of how ruthless I'll be when I fully let go."

Roger - Praising.

He's been forced to run away from his home because of the wolf's dark intentions. So seeing you, and finding out that he can block out the wolf's dark side made him love you than when he first found you.

You know how wolves tend to mate with only one lover in their lifetime? That's exactly how you and Roger worked. And he always praises you during it, in hopes of creating his own pups with you.

Run your fingers along his scars and kiss the corner of his lip. He'd go full on breeding mode from that and won't stop until he's exhausted.

During it, keep praising him to spurr him on further, to the point where you will be the one to beg for him to stop. Rather than him pleading for the lust ravenous side of him to calm down.

Expect a lot of praises from him during aftercare though. He's genuinely sorry for making your body sore and would soothe the aching in parts that he hit too hard on.

"My mate, you're my mate. The one who made me control myself. I want to make you feel good. Breed you with my pups. Can I? Please? My darling mate? Can I make you carry our pups? I promise I'll love them, I promise I'll love you."

Saber - Degrading.

Unlike Alpha, he totally doesn't scan how he can pleasure you. He instead does it to see how much you suffer from his words. He's like a sadist that barely has an ounce of love for you. But only because he was programmed to be like that!

If you can crack his code, you'll see the endless love and desire for you. Although that won't change his degrading, it will change how he describes it.

He'll tell you how much you're suffering for his pleasure, and add in a sliver of reassurance to make you remember that he does care for your well-being. Those small words surprise you each time.

On him being on the receiving end however.. you should pick out your words carefully. Because if he hits your spot, and you mess up interpreting a word, he'll get mad and fuck you dumb.

Imagine his stoic expression after you started crying. You knew fully well that he was scanning you, then he started smiling. Telling you that he's overheating and should get away to lower his temperature. You'd cry from him leaving you unfinished.

"Can you understand that you're fucking with a robot that's meant to destroy, and get revenge on your Uncle's companions? Aren't you a pathetic fucking bimbo that keeps taking in my insults."

Sun - Praising.

His patience is quite unbelievable, and him being able to praise you because of how warm he was, proves that he has a lot of love to give to you. Why? Because you waited for him to come back.

Even though dating a monkey was odd, the whispers weren't worth to listen to because of how sweet he was in bed. Literally chuckling out his enthusiastic praises for you and loving you until the whole day passed.

Oh, and with the amount of clones he can create? He'll make sure he knows you feel loved, inside and out. Sometimes, he'll even let a clone of your choice join in on the fun.

Also, if you try to praise him, you don't stand a chance againts him and his clones! The original Sun will just hump into your tight harder while the rest covers your words with theirs. @~@

Imagine trying so hard to praise Sun, that he just gently covers your mouth, shushes you and speeds up on his thrusts. Please don't interrupt him!, he just wants you to feel loved. Not him, despite the probable centuries he's been waiting for that moment.

"The patience I had was because of my hopes in finding you, and loving you again. Here you are in my arms now, I knew you were the one. We're meant to be, and I love you until we both lose our patience."

Tigreal - Praising.

Have you seen this guy? Think about how big his cock will be, and then you'll know why he keeps praising you while you take it.

Also, think about the guilt he has for the countless soldiers that died from his leadership. He doesn't trust himself about letting go and praises you so you don't leave him.

He's also afraid to hurt you, his hands are calloused, and he thinks that his grip felt uncomfortable for you. Which is untrue, but you had to settle with his praises for him and you after you failed to convince him otherwise.

If the day has been stressful for him, feel free to imagine how ruthless he will be towards your body. Holding your hips while he uses you like a fleshlight, yet he praises you like a god/goddess.

He visibly struggles not to lose his mind and let his kinks take over after seeing you so fucked dumb over his cock. Let the man be, he just wants to protect you from everything, and himself.

"That's it, that's my beautiful warrior taking me so well. A little bit more, and I'll start. Don't cry okay? Hold me if you feel like you're gonna break, because I'll protect you in any way I can."

Vale - Praising.

One of the few reasons why he likes to praise you, is because he doesn't want to become impatient, like the last fight with his former childhood friend. He doesn't want to scare you off by going too fast with you.

He always has a way to surprise you, and praise you with small notes using the wind whenever he was away to god knows where. So you know fully well that he was still inlove with you, as much as you were inlove with him too.

One thing he's done that made you pin your love to him, is that in one time, he raised you in the air. Still fully inside you while making you look at the sky. Whispering how nice it was, but how gorgeous you were than it. It truly made you fall inlove.

Think of how much he'll use his powers to show you how much beautiful you were than anything else. He'll spoil you with confidence, and make you forget he's still fucking himself into you.

Wanna make him flustered now? Blow softly into his ear and whisper how much of a good boy he was to you. Just do it and imagine the rest. *◇*

"You feel as good as how much the wind blows freely through the wind. You're truly agonizing for my small heart. But I still love you, even more than my love for the wind."

Valir - Praising.

His overwhelming powers had him worried that you'll be scared off, so he tries every bit of his hours to prove to you that he's not a threat, only to find out that you really didn't mind.

He was more comfortable at your explanation and became more and more open with his praises, and touches that he was hesitant to give you before.

Tell this man to do something sexual, and watch how his face suddenly flares into a small fire. But then, laugh and praise him for reacting so lightly. Imagine what he would do to you right after making him lust for you.

Wanna guess how he calms you down if you feel too overstimulated with his never ending thrusts? Using his controlled fire and rubbing it againts the ache in your abdomen. Listen to the praises he has in store for you, because it's worth it.

Please give this man a chance for your love. He won't stop loving you for giving him patience to wait for Vale, I promise! ~<~

"You're the one I'll love and worship forever. I promise you I won't stop loving you, and will keep making you feel loved if you stay with me. I love you so much."

Xavier - Praising.

His passion is literally the one that helps with the praises he says to you. And the fact that you brought him his passion back, made him feel like he owe every ounce of it to you. So he never stops praising you for it.

The amount of love he has in store for you, it'll drive you nuts. Because you can't make him lose his composure in any point in time. Even sex!

There is one incident though, while he was praising you, and moving his tip along your hole to tease you for a bit, you pushed your hips up and captured his lips as well. He lost it, and moaned loudly into your mouth. That's the first time he lost his composure.

Also, if you try doing that again, add in a sprinkle of.. praise if you don't mind. Make his mind melt because you did the same thing he keeps doing to you! ~v~

Imagine he just uses his magic to keep you in place while you're forced to take in his slow thrusts, and gentle praises. That's one way of defining heaven.

"That's it my dear, give me another one, again. Do it again, there you go..~, that's my little pup being so well to me. And cumming with my permission."

Yi Sun-Shin - Praising.

The leadership this guy has tires him a lot. I beg of you, let him spew loving praises into your ear once he gets to you and makes love with you. He deserves more than him being able to remember the past incidents..

But don't forget to love him either! Tell him how much he worked hard for you and the town and convince him to rest after you two finish. His heart will be at peace if you do.

Imagine him just cupping your face and pulling you to his face. Not to kiss you, but to admire you while he slowed down his thrusts to only grind on you. He's a hopeless romatic for you.

On the other hand, in some days where he's stressed, lay him down and purr praises into his ear while you ride him. He'll take control after you both finished your first orgasm together.

Your relationship dynamic and sex life is like.. Give, give, and receive— this is from everyone else's perspective. But behind closed doors, both of you make sure to keep it even.

"Exploring the oceans is something I can't stop doing, but making love to you like this... seeing your eyes glaze up from pleasure. I can stop for a moment just to see this for a moment."

Yu Zhong - Praising.

He has good intentions, but the way he shows it to you is just really messy. And more often than not, he ends up hurting your feelings on accident.

But please forgive him, he really tries to not hurt you! The uncontrollable form that keeps subconsciously devouring his body just makes it hard for him to love you like in the past.

Reassure him that you didn't mean to lash out on him for hurting you when you two try to make up by doing it again. He'll resolve, and calm down before nuzzling againts your neck and making love to you all night.

Don't be surprised when he suddenly goes hard on you when you moan his name, he tries to take his mind off of transforming by burrying himself in your pleasure.

When he finally has control of himself, and he explores around with you. You'll realize how much of a softie he is towards you and love making. Snuggle this man with your love. `*♥︎*`

"You're the only person that can keep the monster consuming me inside in control. I love you, I owe everything to you. Please don't push me away when I can't stop.."

Zilong - Both.

Honestly, he's conflicted on whether or not he should praise or degrade you. It's not because he's scared. It's because; He wants to do both, but he can't find the right words for it.

The very first time he did let go and let his mind speak, you turned red and clenched tightly around him. He went insane because of your tight hole clenching around him.

Training is really enjoyable and stressful for him, that's why he's conflicted about the two. His mixed feelings always defines his words during sex.

Imagine you're riding him, and you look down to see his face. His mind would absolutely melt at the sight of your fucked out face. And then, he'll exclaim a loud praise of approval in response.

He absolutely loves it when you degrade him. It'll make him more motivated to fuck you dumb on the matress both of you are having sex in.

"That's your weak spot, yeah? You like it when I hit it don't you? You like being dominated by me? Say you like it, say that you like it. Please!"

I hope you enjoyed reading this, as much as I enjoyed writing it! Take care of yourself! <3

[its-not-a-phase-mom-i-d8-demons]

pairings: Lucifer x Fem!Reader, Mammon x Fem!Reader, Leviathan x Fem!Reader

warnings: tw abandonment (but it turns out okay, I promise), mentions of the act of birthing,

A/N: you came to the right place! as the second oldest of six children, I have some experience when it comes to pregnancy:) I hope you don't mind, nonny, but I'm gonna split this up into a few parts so I can do the dateables as well!

Lucifer

The moment you had shyly produced the positive pregnancy test from the pocket of your hoodie, it felt like Lucifer had entered into a fever dream filled with nursery designs, baby names, the expenses that pile up before the baby even arrives, researching human pregnancy, keeping you out of harm's way and healthy and happy...

So when you first stagger out of bed and rush to his bathroom, hand clamped over your mouth and one shaky hand on your slightly swollen tummy, Lucifer isn't surprised

He is very concerned, however. You had been so nervous to tell him of your pregnancy, you waited until the last moment before your bump was noticeable to tell him

That meant you had been suffering from all of these pregnancy side effects before he'd permanently moved you to sleep in his room

Lucifer hoists himself out of bed and pads into the bathroom, gathering up your hair, if any, into his fist and pulling your hunched form between his legs for support

You hate this feeling with a passion; throbbing stomach and a lump in your throat with little to no vertigo and tears rolling down your face as you try and catch your breath

You tell him it hurts, you ask him if he can take the pain away as your head rests on his chest, lashes fluttering with wooziness

Lightheadedness was unbearably common; you would suddenly grip his sleeve and he could watch the color drain from your face and your knees get shaky, body beginning to sway

He always catches you though, finding a place for you to sit or lie down and gather yourself

Tummy rubs become more common; the feeling of his hands against your bare tummy, spreading their warmth and nullifying the ache, allowing you to relax

He's extremely attentive as well and can tell whenever you need something

Water? Here's a cup sweetheart, remember, you're hydrating and eating for two people!

Craving something? Chocolate? Fried pickles? Chips of some kind? sweets? He's stockpiled anything you could want and locked it away just for you.

I feel like Lucifer would want your baby to be a little girl. A little princess he can carry on his shoulders and spoil with his love and gifts.

Satan ruined him for having another baby boy, but if that's how the cards fall, he certainly wouldn't mind. Unfortunately, he'd be constantly walking on eggshells, afraid he'll make your little boy into another rebellious child

That's the last thing he wants

Lucifer does his best to keep his kid away from Satan and Belphie and out of the 'Formerly Anti-Lucifer League', but sometimes you're taking a nap or out shopping with Asmodeus, and Satan and his brothers manage to coerce the little one into their shenanigans

One thing is for sure though, even if Lucifer didn't want any kids and the creation of one was unplanned, he would never ever turn you away

He's very responsible and does anything in his power to make the pregnancy as easy and happy as possible

On the day you are to give birth, he's a mess

He has already sweat through 3 shirts by the time the IV has been secured to your hand

Everything he says doesn't come without a stutter

He's squeezing your hand and kissing your hair during labor, trying to distract you from the burn between your legs as much as he can

You probably need extra stitches from baby's horns ngl

Definitely cries before the baby is even put in your arms

Refuses to let his brothers come and see you, "They can wait until we go home."

Lucifer is Smitten™

He smooches the tiredness under your eyes and tells you to get some rest

Surprisingly, he enjoys a lot of the names from the human world you discuss and will most likely pick one of those

But if it's a girl, her name is Lilith. I'm sorry MC, your input is invalid at this time

You don't regret 'final day in the devildom sex' at all when you get to witness the Avatar of Pride reduced to tears when the nurse puts the child in his arms

P-P-Pregnant? MC, ya better be jokin'...

Mammon

You weren't, judging by the pregnancy test(s) clutched in your fist

He's not mad at you, he's not upset, (in fact, he's the happiest he's ever been), he just scared

Broken Condom Victim™

He loved you just a bit too hard last week...

but let's be real here, HIS MC, carrying HIS baby?

That's like the highest level of ownership on his lovely human you could get! Levi, Asmo, Beel, Lucifer, everyone would be SOOOO JEALOUS!!!

AND

He gets to have a little one running around again!

You saw how sweet he was to babified Satan in the obey me anime premier! He LOVES little kids and nothing would make him happier than someone to play with (besides MC of course) that wouldn't make fun of him for messing up and being silly!

AND

You're so pretty!!

I mean, ya were always pretty, but somethin' about ya is different and yer even more beautiful than before somehow!

Mammon said, his entire face the shade of a pomegranate

Pregnancy glow is REAL

Asmo agrees, after stealing you away from an extremely overprotective mammon and hiding in the attic to chat without disturbance (mammon)

But as much as YOU know he would be the BEST father, comments from his brothers continue to drag him down and the evenings he cried into your shoulder became more and more frequent as your pregnancy progresses

Mammon, as we all know, is, in fact, a tiddy man

He likes to touch and squeeze them, and just gently hold them while cuddling or even browsing in a store, he'd just come up behind you and touch your boobs

(also, mammon likes all sizes, so if you have next to no tiddy like me, you'll be at his mercy as well. those with the large honkers, however, watch yourself)

Now that there's a miracle growing in your tummy, other parts of your body are preparing for its arrival, including your chest

Swelling, swelling, soreness, growing and darkening of the nipples, and swelling make it so Mammon can no longer touch your pretty tiddies :(((

(grammarly didn't like that word)

On the day mammon snack size was to be born, mammon is silent but extremely fidgety

It was early in the morning when you'd shaken him awake like, "mammoney, I'm going into labor" and he was out of bed and out the door with your luggage before you finished blinking

After grabbing your DDD's and you, he carries you down to the car (what dysfunctional family doesn't have a car? a nice one (Mercedes, Audi, you get the idea) for lucifer and a Volkswagon bus or something for his siblings to share) and drives quickly, but very carefully drives to the hospital, holding your hand the whole way.

He covers your eyes when they put the IV in, just in case you're squeamish, and rubs your arms as the drugs begin to take effect and there's a little fear in your eyes at the thought of pushing an entire human/demon being out of your coochie

He assures you and never lets go of your hand no matter how long you're in labor

When it's all over with and you are resting in your hospital bed waiting for the doctors to finish the Apgar tests and give you your baby

Mammon is speechless as the nurse places the baby in your arms

That's HIS KID!!

Immediately starts crying

The little horns poking out of the blanket? Those look just like his!!

Judging by the bit of hair on it's head, it looks like the baby will have hair like yours

If it's a baby boy, he thinks it should be named "Mammon II" but you just giggle and remind him of the deal he made with lucifer long ago, that his first born child, no matter the gender, had to have 'Lucifer' somewhere in their name

Human names are dumb, except for yours of course, so he searches for suitable demon names

The last thing he wants is a kid named Lucifer, so that will be the kid's middle name

He really regrets his past decisions now

Leviathan

"Levi?"

"Yeah, babe?"

"I'm pregnant."

*leviathan has been KO'd*

No joke, this man is literally floored and didn't wake up for a while and you were afraid you had just slain the fucking Lord of Shadows

Some Henry you were

You had to call Lucifer in to wake him up because he was still flat on the floor a half and hour later

Mammon is more that happy to tip a bucket of ice water on the face of the son of a bitch that impregnated HIS MC

Levi wakes up and pounces on you, gripping you tightly by the arms

"You're k-kidding r-right?"

Him? A father?

Uhhhhhhh

Unfortunately, Leviathan.exe has stopped working, try again in two thousand years

I hate to say this, but he definitely detaches himself for a while until his brothers, especially Asmodeus, literally beat him into shape

He comes back to you, a little bruised and sobbing, but not from the beating he just received

He's so sorry he neglected you! He's such a horrible demon, undeserving of your welcoming nature

He's gonna be the worst dad, and he's not good enough for you, and his kid will hate him just like everyone else does, he doesn't deserve you, he's so sorry for making you suffer the side effects and feel all alone,

Sir, I-

FALSE

It's your turn to shake some sense into him, reminding him that he would be the. best. dad!!

Not to mention the fact that you were just happy he realized his mistakes and came back to you

He begs you to sleep in his bed tub with him for security, and you have to admit his tail is very comforting

Levi does extensive research on human pregnancy and now at the dinner table, instead of talking about the latest slice of life anime he'd been watching, he's just spouting random pregnancy facts and you're laughing so hard it brings you to tears

When the weird dreams and vivid nightmares happen, Levi is right behind you, rubbing your swollen tummy, and letting you talk about them

A lot of them were about him and about your future child

Most of them were about how they got hurt in some way, either that or YOU got hurt and the baby died

These, more often than not, brought you to tears and stress you out, but Levi is right there, okay? Nothing can hurt you, nor would he let anything happen to you on his watch

Learns how to massage you (safely) to reduce stress

Definitely talks to the baby a lot

Levi begged you to be induced so the birth was safe and not a sudden occasion and you agree

On the day the doctor recommended, you arrived at the hospital and got down to business

Levi didn't really want to be in the room with you, but he knew he had to for your sake and he'd played a few birth simulators from both perspectives and you really needed him

Kinda sits there awkwardly comforting you and encouraging you, holding your hand and caressing your cheeks, a bit flushed from exertion and tears

Listen

If the baby is a boy, his name will be Henry and that's final

If it's a girl, he doesn't really care, as long as you don't name her 'mammonia' or something dumb like that

definitely crashes your hospital bed to snuggle until the baby is ready

cries when the baby wraps its extremely small digits around one of his own

also at the little horns protruding from its head

and the tuft of purple in its head

Also Smitten™

He's so excited to get home and show off his beautiful baby to his brothers and then formulate a plan to raise the kid to live and breathe TSL just like his daddy <3

Jily Prompt: Lily finally realizes that she is in love with James, and tries to ask him out as he never tries again because he thinks she doesn't like him. But, James thinks it's some kind of prank and gets hurt, so Lily confesses that she likes him

Thanks for the prompt! It was a lot of fun getting to write some Jily. Added an italicized 'oh' just cause.

As anyone who has been the subject of someone's unrequited love can probably tell you, persistence is never going to win their heart over. It goes from being sweet to making you feel horribly guilty, then annoyed and then angry. Lily had experienced all of this first hand and was immensely grateful when James finally decided to leave her alone. Although, she imagined some of this was Remus's doing, knowing he likely explained to James the issue with the whole 'wearing her down' idea.

But something had changed about James since then. It wasn't just that he'd seemed to realize his mistake, no, there was something else going on there and Lily was determined to figure out what it was. After almost two weeks of scrutinizing with no discernible conclusion, Lily finally relented and turned to her friends.

"Does James seem different to you?" Lily asked at breakfast one morning, watching him help Peter with his homework at the other end of the table. She turned to find Alice smiling into her breakfast while Marlene smirked at her. "What? He just seems more... I don't know, grown up or something? I can't figure it out."

"And oogling him 24/7 is going to help you figure that out?" Marlene teased.

"I was not -" but her protests died in her mouth. Oh. Oh. Maybe the thing that had changed the most wasn't James but the way that Lily saw him.

"Yeah," Alice said. "I get it. I was like that with Frank at the beginning."

Lily looked at her friend's in horror. She'd had crushes before sure but they'd been minor fleeting things. Something about this felt solid and heavy and absolutely terrifying. "What do I do?"

"Don't worry," Marlene assured her. "Knowing him he'll ask you out any minute now and you can confess your undying love for him."

Except he didn't. It seemed that James had meant what he said when he told Lily he wasn't going to bother her anymore, which meant that no matter how often Lily placed herself around James or intentionally ensured they'd have time alone together, he still never asked. Frankly, she was getting annoyed and tired of this and never being one to back down from a challenge, she figured if James didn't have the balls to do it then she would.

They were halfway through the rounds that were part of their duties as heads of house. James was babbling on to her about the ins and outs of the latest Quidditich match in a way that Lily found hopelessly endearing and suddenly she couldn't wait anymore.

"Will you go with me to Hogsmeade this weekend?"

James froze and Lily took a few more steps before realizing he wasn't following her anymore. She turned back to face him.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes?" Lily replied, a bit surprised by the bite in his voice.

James shook his head and took another step back from her. "Okay, I don't know if it was Marlene or Dorcas or hell, even Sirius who put you up to this. I get it. Use you to lure me out there and then hit me with flying snowball or hexes. It's a good prank but it's not funny." He looked away from her. "You know how I feel Lily and I get that you don't like me but it isn't fair to play with my feelings for your own amusement."

And there was something hiding underneath his words, a sense of hurt that she'd never seen in him before. He seemed so small standing there in the hallway and she didn't know what to do. The James who had approached her in years past was all bravado and charisma and this, this was someone else. She was right. James had changed.

"Listen," James added when she didn't say anything. "I think we should split up the rest of the rounds. I'll head back this way and cover the washrooms if you finish up the rest. I'll meet you back in the common room, okay?" He turned on his heel and headed back the way that they'd come.

Lily was left standing alone in the hallway before she could think of anything to say and so instead she hurried her way through the rest of their rounds hoping that she could at least catch James in the common room before he went to bed.

When she was nearly done she paused, hearing voices coming from up the hall. They were hushed but clearly coming from the common room. She approached slowly and on reaching the door peeked in to see James slumped over with his head in his hands as Remus comforted him. She made to leave but a squeaky floorboard gave her away and they both looked up to see her standing there.

Remus smiled at her before getting up. "I'll see you in the room soon, okay Prongs?"

James nodded but didn't say anything. Remus slipped by Lily, squeezing her shoulder as he went past.

Lily didn't know what to do, but she did know she didn't want to makes James feel any worse than he already did so she took a seat far away from him. Not wanting him to think she was pitying him by sitting close.

"I'm sorry," James said finally, his voice coming out scratchy and rough. Had he been crying? "If that's how I made you feel all those years I wouldn't leave you be. I shouldn't have done that and I acknowledge my mistake but what you said really hurt me. I understand if you felt the need for some sort of payback but I promise you've gotten it in full."

Lily sat there, baffled. She didn't know what to say to that, except, of course, the truth. "I like you."

"I like you too and I thought we were getting closer these past couple months. I thought all that nonsense was behind us. I'll admit I still having feelings for you but that's on me, okay? I want us to be friends."

She pushed on. "James, I like like you. I-I've been watching you lately and you've changed. You're kind and gentle. You help Pete with his homework but never let him feel stupid, you're always guiding first years around the castle, you stood by Remus's side after the incident with Snape even when it was your own brother caught in the crossfire, and something changed. You changed and I guess I changed too or how I feel about you did and I was hoping you were going to ask me but clearly you're too respectful of our past to do that so I'm asking you now James. Do you want to go on a date with me to Hogsmeade this weekend?

James looked up at her in awe. "I'm not dreaming right?"

"Unless we're in the same dream, which would be kinda weird."

James beamed up at her then. "And you really meant all of that? Everything you just said?"

"Of course. I don't think I've been very discreet about it lately, but I'm mad about you."

"Well that's good," James said. "I've been mad about you forever. At least if we're gonna go crazy we can do so together, right?"

"Right," Lily said and got up so that she could sit beside him and take his hand in her own. "Let's take this adventure together, okay?"

"Okay," James said, reaching out to brush a loose lock of hair away from her face and then the one thing that in all his years of fantasies James had never thought would happen occurred. Lily Evans lean in and kissed him first.

Hellooooo! Talk to me about Lucas? 💖

Hello, my adored Debby!

So, I HC Lucas liking the kitchen answer to his question on the first date (the one he never answers). I believe it's a bit of an unpopular opinion, and I can 100% see why the popular ones make a lot of sense. But I have a point. In this essay I will talk about why Lucas actually craves a domestic life. Don't kill me.

So, let's begin with what we know about Lucas: he grew up travelling around the world, he doesn't hate his parents but the relationship could be closer, he likes good food, and he's very organized down to waking up early on weekends to keep his routine.

He's also described in the game as "the handsome daredevil" or whatever the hell when you have to pick someone for the wedding. He rides a motorbike he likes so much he got an ugly tattoo of it. He tells MC he "likes a little danger" and he hasn't regretted anything majorly since year six. He's a bit jealous, and fairly particular about his hair. He hasn't slept around much. He can get insecure.

Yet, what I read in Lucas is a tendency to control. Not in the bad way, not in the sexy way either, but rather in the stability way. Sure, he likes "danger", he's "a daredevil", but I believe all of this is strictly under his own terms. The risks are extremely calculated, which makes them, well, not very risky.

That's why he doesn't regret much. He owns his mistakes as such, he has his own back when he makes wrong decisions because at the very least he made them himself, and he wasn't persuaded by anyone else (I do think he's more easily influenced than he likes to believe, but that's a different discussion. I mean, the bike itself…). That's why his "number" is lower compared to the other boys; you think he'll just sleep with someone he barely knows? Think about all the unaccounted "what if"s!

Sure, he will take off on his bike just because. But it won't be to the middle of nowhere where night will come and he'll have to find a place to sleep on the fly. Oh, no no. Maybe he picked the location at random, to be adventurous, but rest assured, he booked the hotel before he left his house. He's prepared for every contingency, always. Again, not very risky. Lucas is not a risk taker, he likes control. I doubt he has a good tolerance for uncertainty (cough cough Casa Amor cough cough).

But this was about domestic life, right? Well, he's travelled a lot, and can you imagine what his friendships must have been like growing up? Any girlfriends? His neighbours? His bedroom? The only constant he had was his family. Then came college, and the relationship got tenser. We can assume he's been living alone for a while now. Who thinks he has a roommate? Anyone? No? That's what I thought.

So, if we don't equate "domestic" to "marriage, kids, and a dog" but to "stability"… Watch when you tell him that what you imagine when you think of the love of your life is just doing something mundane, in quiet and comfortable silence because you already know everything about each other, with no tension because you know how he folds the towels, in a kitchen – your kitchen – that has been the same one for so many years you both move around it like it's second nature. That you're not only happy when he brings you presents or takes you on vacation or parades you proudly in front of other people, but that something as simple as a new day with him, that makes you happy, because you don't need more than him being him by your side.

That. That is stable, and true. That saves him having to wonder what tomorrow would be like, because after all you're a person and as such he can't control you or your choices the way he can control whether or not he has a spare tire for the bike, and that's a bit scary for him. And we know the boy gets anxious af, so the best thing you can give him is security, and take the pressure off his shoulders that you love all he does for you, but you don't love him because he takes you on a trip around the world.

He would never show it, and he would never ask for it, but I believe people like Lucas need permission to relax a bit every once in a while. Think of it like this: each thing you could do in life is a coin, but for the million coins in existence you only have ten fingers. If those fingers are occupied with basic coins, logically they're taking the place of more interesting ones. So, how do we solve this? What if I told you that you could move those basic coins to the palm of your hand, and not worry about them anymore. Now suddenly you have all those free fingers you can use to hold a plethora of actually fun and interesting things because the basic ones are secured. Maybe that's a shitty metaphor, but I hope the point gets across.

What I mean is that doesn't mean that Lucas wants a "boring" life. He will be his extra af self regularly, but again, it would be different when built on this foundation of, yes I'm gonna say it again, stability. Something he for once doesn't feel the need to control because of the thing's very nature; it won't move, it won't go anywhere, you can rely on it and redirect your energy somewhere more productive.

There are a million contra points for this, and different ways to interpret this. Some people might say that he hates the answer because "That? That's all you want? You could say anything, and that's what you chose? That's mediocre" and that would also be very valid. But I like this alternative, for whatever reason. So yeah. That's why I always pick the kitchen in the first date.

Could we learn some of your general or interesting headcanons?

So, I believe this is a question for me, the mun, of this account, following headcanon's of Sun and Moon. I have my own idea of this so I'm glad someone asked.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I have a head canon that Sun likes kisses, Despite being an animatronic something about Human affection makes him happy, he likes to experience it. And even though it seems like Moon doesn't enjoy love from humans, he does.

Friendship is important to them, and they wish nothing but the best over whomever they get attached too. Sun is careful, and he wants to catch said person from falling or hurting themselves, he makes sure that a mess is cleaned so no one gets hurt. And Moon is more of watching over them if they take a bit of rest, simply because he knows that Nightmares is something kids and adults have. He's more of wanting to protect them from them.

Sun and Moon wish to be separated from one another; they wish to live as a human for a day. Sundrop sees people all the time, he admires the small children, and is curious as to how they live their life. While Moondrop is more curious about how they function. And I canon that the two want this more than anything.

Both of them are big on comfort, and despite the situation with Greogry, Sun wanted nothing more than a friend. Sundrop refers to everyone that enters as friends, simply because this is something he craves, a friend forever. While Moon is more silent about a friend and does not wish to refer to them as that to hide his own true desire of this.

Sundrop is big on helping, so I try my best to make a head canon that he loves to try out hairstyles. If lucky, he would learn how to make a ponytail, perhaps pigtails, or maybe even a perfect bun? I find that he gets frustrated at his smallest mistakes. If your hair is messy, he's quick to attempt to fix it, he wants it tidy and neat unless you assure him that it's fine.

Moondrop likes to do your hair too, but the difference is he doesn't care too much about it being too tidy. While yes, he is a clean freak in his own way. He understands if you wish for it to be down or in a messy way, he allows it. But just ask and he'll fix it for you.

When it comes to kids, the two are protective if needed. While Moon has to be controlled sometimes about how he goes about things, he's still loving and caring towards them. While Sun is very happy to see them, I feel like he would be sad to see even one of them hurt. Finds it unfair they have to experience pain.

I find that Sun and Moon are dull in color but love it if someone still compliments them. Admiring the color of both the animatronics. They find it nice if a kid or someone else loves the way they look, It's odd to explain sometimes.

But nonetheless both of them can be loving and caring to those around them, it just has to be the right person. And I find it wonderful that they wish to be separate and live life like anyone else.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

My head canon's aren't too good but I love them both so this is what I find interesting. And a lot of these head canon's speak about how I portray them during RP!

Our New Life- 20

Steve rogers x reader

Damon Salvatore x Reader (platonic)

Warnings: Language, mistakes, shitty plot :')

Master-list

It's been a day since fury came with his offer. And all y/n did was think about all the outcomes of choosing this offer.

But every time her mind told her the same thing, choose it. It was the same as choosing to become a vampire or not.

She listened to her mind then, she would listen to her mind now.

She went downstairs and saw Damon in deep thoughts, sitting on the couch. She chuckled and sat down with him, “what are you thinking?” she asked him.

He turned towards her with angry expressions on his face. She frowned seeing him like that.

“Now, you want to talk huh? You didn’t talk to me since that stupid man went offering you to join his shitty club.”

y/n snickered causing him to glare at her. She sighed and took his hands, “look I’m sorry. But I needed time to think. Just like I did when I chose this life. It’s like, I’m in that situation again, a lot of things inside my head.” she told him. His expressions got soft seeing her like that.

"Now, what did you decide? Accepting his offer?" He asked, knowing her answer.

She nodded and he could see the light in her eyes, the light of hope.

"This was all I needed for a year. A push, this is the push, Damon." "Everything would be fine, I would be able to fix everything. My life, your life, Elena's. Our life wouldn't be a mess anymore." She told him. She looked at him, asking him if she was doing right, choosing the right thing.

"Do what you want to do. Do what your mind, as well as your heart, agrees to do. If you feel satisfied with this, then do this. And if it doesn't work well, then it's okay. Because I'll always be there for you, no matter what happens, just like I promised." He said, wiping the tear that fell on her face.

She hugged him "thank you, Damon."

~

The next morning she was getting ready to meet Fury. Damon was being stubborn as usual and didn't go back to mystic falls, claiming he needed to be there, to keep her on the right track.

"I would not go back until I see you with that sexy Captain, with my eyes." This is what he answered when she was telling him to go back.

"Ready?" His voice brought her out of her thoughts. She turned from the mirror which she was looking at and saw him ready to go with her.

She rolled her eyes, "I already told you, you can't come Damon. I'm not going to a club, it's an agency I'm going to. Not everyone could go there." She told him one more time.

But of course, Damon has the answer to everything. "I know, but you need me there. I'll make sure everything goes fine with rogers and if we need to compel him, I'll do it." He said nonchalantly. Y/n watched him in horror,

"compelling him? What the fuck Damon??" She asked him.

He sighed, "I'm just joking sweetheart. I just need to be there and besides, I'll be bored in this house"

She just made an annoyed face and went outside to sit in the car. Damon also came with a big smile on his face.

The whole ride there went in anxiety. She was just worried about Steve. Damon kept talking to her, knowing how she was feeling. But that didn't make her feel any better.

They finally reached the HQ, she was feeling anxious. Entering inside the building she was having thoughts. But now there was no turning back, she had to do this.

They both went to the recipient, y/n was about to say something when Damon cut her off.

"Hello, beautiful," he said with a smirk, y/n gave her a threatening look which made him shut up.

That girl gave him a tight smile and looked at her, "how can I help you?" She asked politely.

"I want to meet Director Nick Fury," she said.

The receptionist gave her a weird look, "I'm afraid you can't…" she was saying but y/n interrupted her.

"Look I know I can't meet him, but at least inform him that y/f/n is here. I'm sure he'll be desperate to meet me."

That girl sighed and dialed the phone. She signed them to take a seat.

"They are informing him, you'll have to wait."

They waited for five minutes when a man came towards them, saying he would lead her to the office.

Of course, Damon had to wait there. She looked at Damon, silently telling him not to mess around which he simply replied with an assuring smile.

The man left her in front of the door, she thanked him and went inside.

"I was planning to visit you today." Fury said, smiling. "Please have a seat."

She sat and looked at him. He raised his eyebrow asking for her decision.

"I thought about what you said," she told him. "And?"

"And I decided to join the team, but I don't want people to know like all the rest of the Avengers, I don't wanna be recognized, I can't afford that." She told him.

"Don't worry about that, and I know what your next question would be. We'll tell them you have fast reflexes and by getting some training you'll be useful for us. You are an orphan girl, was living with your uncle in Georgia until he died giving you some of his inheritance and then you moved to NYC last year."

He told her. She made a weird face at his story, "seriously? This is what you came up with." He smiled bitterly at her before speaking.

"Well, I think you have a better story to tell Captain Rogers because the rest of them would not ask you anything after my story. But I'm sure Rogers would have a lot of questions for you, hope you are prepared." Fury said with a smug smile. Making her confused and angry at the same time.

"How the fuck do you know about that? I…" she yapped.

"Look I had to find everything about you so I did. I'm the director here, you think I wouldn't know? And again, no one knows. Now go home and think about how you would face your hero tomorrow." He said dismissing her by his hand.

She didn't say anything and went out of the door angrily.

She went to the ground floor and stepped out of the building, Damon running behind her, " Hey, what happened?" He asked.

"I will tell you, first sit-in the car." She said opening the door of the car.

She started the car and drove to her house while explaining, Damon, everything happened with Fury and that, tomorrow he was gonna introduce her to the team and the Captain….

For the sign au Aizawa has a clue connecting Oboro to Kurogiri but it will probably confuse him more than anything. Since Oboro is supposed to be dead??? He'll probably discuss this with Present Mic then try to investigate. Maybe he'll try capturing Kurogiri for answers though that'll be hard. Or maybe he'll search for info on Kurogiri, his history and such. He won't find much unless he manages to break into one of the Doctors labs, but those are hard to find. Or are they???

fear not, for i come bearing answers

this is a bit of a timeline hopping thing since the first part is after Shigaraki was captured and the second is after the Eri rescue!!

ko-fi link (✿◡‿◡)

He finds Hizashi on the roof. That’s the first surprise.  Shouta comes up here sometimes, because he has the destructive habit of picking at old wounds until they’re bleeding and raw again, but Hizashi has always been the opposite of that. It’s not that he ever tried to pretend Oboro hadn’t existed, but he did use to pretend his loss didn’t affect him nearly as much as it actually did. Hizashi was always pushing forward where Shouta lingered on the past. Maybe that makes him a healthier person.

Shouta clears his throat as he approaches, but Hizashi gives no indication of having heard him. He’s sitting at the edge of the roof, legs dangling and arms resting on the railing as he looks out over the UA campus. The view has changed so much since they were teenagers. Since Oboro was up here with them.

There’s about a million places Shouta would rather be at the moment, but this is a conversation that needs to happen. They haven’t talked since Shouta had All Might call up his detective friend and demanded he use his quirk on Hizashi so they could be assured he wasn’t the traitor. The vindication followed by pure hollowness of Hizashi’s gaze after Tsukauchi’s nod has been haunting Shouta for weeks now. There were no words that would have repaired the broken bridge between them, so Shouta decided to give it some time. That might have been a mistake, too. Them drifting apart has always been something that hurt both of them in the process. Hizashi would have likely much rather had a big yelling match and then hugged it out. But Shouta couldn’t do that. He’s been... punishing himself, staying away from his best friend. His ‘something’. His ‘maybe’.  Because it’s Shouta’s fault that he’s hurting in the first place. Shouta’s stupid lack of trust and paranoia. He should have never, ever doubted him, even for a second. There’s a ton of excuses there. How he was injured, how he’s traumatized, how he was always only trying to protect the students. How being cautious was the logical choice. The professional choice for a hero. But none of that actually matters, does it? Hizashi is Hizashi. That should have been enough.

Either way, that’s a problem for later. He has to prioritize right now. There’s something much more pressing, and that’s forcing him to speak with Hizashi even though he still doesn’t know how to even begin repairing their relationship. Shouta has always had this tendency of ducking away from personal conflict like this. It’s much along the same vein as leaving a cat behind in the rain. It’s the easier way, when he gets overwhelmed and doesn’t know what to do. He despises that cowardly part of himself. Usually, he can push it away alright nowadays. But that’s only because he has Hizashi and Nemuri right with him.

Nemuri has firmly taken Hizashi’s side this time, though it’s not like she’s showing Shouta the cold shoulder, either. She’s just fussing over Hizashi more. Which is fine. Shouta is the one who caused the hurt, and it’s not like he enjoys her fussing. It’s probably good that they’re not talking much right now, because Nemuri... that’s going to be another painful conversation.

Shouta sits at the edge of the roof beside Hizashi and gazes out over their school grounds. It still makes him feel nostalgic to be up here. He breathes.

“How was your talk with Shigaraki?” Hizashi speaks first. Of course he does. Even if his voice is carefully blank, void of the usual emotion.

Shouta grimaces and flexes his freshly healed arm. The burns weren’t deep, but they were still painful. “... enlightening.”

Hizashi glances at him over his sunglasses. “So you found out who the traitor is?”

That was one of the questions Shouta knows All Might and Tsukauchi asked and got no answer to. He shakes his head. “But I did find out where he learned my name.”

Hizashi says nothing, waits with a raised eyebrow.

Shouta has no fucking idea how to do this. It feels like there’s a lead weight stuck in his chest. He breathes. Almost wants a cigarette even though he hasn’t smoked in nearly a decade.

He looks over towards the dorms instead of facing Hizashi any longer. “He told me Kurogiri taught him. Apparently they’ve been together for a while.”

“Kurogiri?” Hizashi repeats, “But... then we’re back to square one, aren’t we? How does he know?”

It’s nice, to hear him say ‘we’, even though of course they’re still in this together, as heroes. As teachers at this school. But ‘we’ has always meant something different to them.

‘We’ used to be a team of three or, occasionally, four.

“Shigaraki went nonverbal because of the stress of the interrogation, I think.” Shouta has never been one to dance around the point, he’s more known for being brutally honest, but this might be his limit right here. It’s like stumbling through the dark and knowing there’s a fall coming up ahead. “So... he signed.” Hizashi says nothing, allowing him to sort out his thoughts, but Shouta can feel his eyes boring into the side of his head. Is Hizashi concerned because all this hesitating isn’t like him? He should be. That still would in no way be enough to prepare him for what Shouta’s about to say.

“He spelled it out for me first. Kurogiri. But then, when he wasn’t thinking about it, he used his sign name instead.” Shouta turns to face Hizashi, slowly moving his hands in front of him. He signs, very slowly and deliberately.

Hizashi stares for a second. Then he huffs out a laugh. “That’s ridiculous, Shouta.”

Shouta raises a brow. “Is it?”

The reaction was a predictable one, of course, but Shigaraki wasn’t lying. And how else would he have known?

“He’s dead,” Hizashi insists, shaking his head again, “There’s just... no way. His quirk wasn’t even close to Kurogiri’s!”

“Wasn’t it, though?” Shouta asks quietly, tiredly. “Clouds, mist, it’s all humidity.”

“Teleportation isn’t.” Hizashi takes off his sunglasses, rubs at his eyes. “Are you hearing yourself talk? You seriously believe this?”

Shouta knows that he’s bringing his walls up because denying the possibility hurts less. It’s an old pain brought back up that they both only just started to heal from. But they need to be facing this together. If they’re still afforded that.

“Noumu are creatures created by combining multiple quirks inside a dead body and reviving them.” At least those are the bare bones of the process that Shouta understands. A lot of it is confidential. Need to know basis only. He doesn’t want the details... except now, maybe he does.

“They can’t speak or think!” Hizashi throws up his hands. “And they don’t look like that.”

Shouta’s jaw works for a moment. He looks back out over UA. “Who knows what Kurogiri looks like underneath all that mist?”

Hizashi has no answer for that, apparently, because he just pushes himself to his feet. “This is... I... I need to go. Somewhere else. Work. I have patrol. Yeah, that.”

He’s shaken enough that Shouta knows he’s not completely rejecting the possibility anymore. It’s about as much as he could have hoped for.

Shouta leans his chin on the railing and closes his eyes. “Be careful out there.” He pauses. “... and I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have ever doubted you.”

Hizashi laughs, and it’s a bit bitter, but not as biting as it could have been. “At this rate, me being a traitor would have been a better outcome.”

___

Their conversation bears heavily on Shouta’s mind, even two weeks later when he’s doing his usual patrol across the rooftops. It’s dangerous to let himself get distracted like this. Not his style at all.

Shirakumo does that to him.

And Hizashi, too.

He has no idea if things will get better now or not. It would be... helpful to have Hizashi at his side for this. And he knows that, as a hero, he won’t abandon Shouta when it comes to capturing a villain. But as a friend? As... someone Shouta has hurt, deeply and recently? Maybe not.

To be fair though, Shouta was always the one pushing him away before. If this is what his own medicine tastes like, then he’s surprised Hizashi stuck around this long.

“Eraserhead.” 

His capture cloth is hovering around his head even before the voice speaks up, his body tense and his mind... not as clear as he’d like it to be. But he knows the sound of these portals by now. He knows.

With one quick movement, he’s up from his perch on the corner of the roof and facing the shadowy figure that wasn’t there a moment earlier.

‘Oboro?’ he signs.

Kurogiri’s eyes flicker and narrow. “I didn’t come here for conversation.” He’s not signing, one of his hands behind his back.

Shouta doesn’t blink. He didn’t deny it, did he? Does he know? Shigaraki didn’t. Is Kurogiri able to keep secrets from him? “... but I need to talk to you.”

Against the backdrop of the night sky, it’s difficult to tell where Kurogiri starts and stops. It’s like he’s a part of the night itself.

Oboro liked the stars well enough, but he always preferred lazy afternoons in the sun. Shouta was the nocturnal one.

It’s all wrong.

There’s something that’s not even entirely human in the way Kurogiri tilts his head... if he even has a physical one underneath the mist. “There’s more pressing matters than the... tragedy of Shirakumo Oboro.” There’s a shudder going through him when he says the name, and part of Shouta wants to pounce on that.

If he’s still reacting to the name... then he must remember. And if he does... then he must be forced to help Shigaraki in some way. They already suspected something like that from his demeanor, but without being able to pin Kurogiri down for an interrogation, no one could be sure.

Shouta is, though. The most heroic boy he ever knew would never willingly become a villain.

He opens his mouth, but then Kurogiri is stepping aside, and revealing, behind him... Shouta freezes.

The child can’t be older than six, maybe seven years old. She’s wearing an adult size sweater that reaches past her knees, and her feet are bare. She’s trembling, her eyes big and red and filled with unshed tears that shine in the faint lights of the city below.

“This is Eri,” Kurogiri says.

Shouta knows. He’s been told about her, after all. He was part of an entire rescue operation that culminated in finding Chisaki near bleeding out in a room locked from the inside, and a missing girl. Now that part at least makes sense.

She was an asset. Did the League...? Would they? They’re not above kidnapping teenagers, but small children?

“We did not hurt her,” Kurogiri assures, and somehow he sounds almost affronted at the accusation that Shouta is sure doesn’t even show through the goggles hiding his eyes. “Chisaki took one of our own, so we decided it was time for his downfall. When I saw Eri...”

“You couldn’t just leave her behind,” Shouta concludes the thought. His chest hurts. If there needed to be any more proof, there it is.

Kurogiri makes a noise of affirmation. “I am a caretaker. I am not the kind of person who can leave someone in need.”

“An odd trait for a villain,” Shouta manages, then shakes himself out of it. Because he’s a hero and there’s a scared child.

Kurogiri pats Eri on the head gently and she seems to calm a bit.

Shouta takes a slow step closer, then crouches down, reaching out a hand. “Hello, Eri. My name is Eraserhead. I’m a pro hero.”

Eri looks up at Kurogiri. “... what does that mean?”

“It means -” Kurogiri’s voice is so, so gentle with her. “- that he’s going to help you and keep you safe. We’re unable to provide that kind of safety.”

“Oh.” Eri looks to the ground. “ ‘cause of what I did to the man with the burns.”

Kurogiri crouches now, too. “No. No, that was not your fault. I want you to remember that. And I do believe he will be fine, once he has calmed down a little. You did not hurt him. If anything... you may have healed him.”

Eri raises her gaze, eyes wide. “I... did? I didn’t hurt him?”

Kurogiri shakes his head. “He will be fine,” he repeats, “But your quirk is very powerful and we only managed to break the connection by using my portals in time, to create physical distance.” He stops himself, as if remembering he’s talking to a child. “... what that means is, you need to learn how to control your quirk, and with how powerful it is, Eraserhead is the only one I would trust with that.”

Ah.

Shouta feels a little dazed. This is nothing like what he experienced from Kurogiri so far, but to be fair, he only ever experienced him on a battlefield beside Shigaraki. Is Shigaraki behind this, too? Is Shigaraki giving up on such a powerful asset out of... kindness? Human decency? Or does he simply not know how deep Eri’s powers supposedly go?

“I can stop your quirk if you ever feel like it’s getting out of control,” he promises, then looks to Kurogiri. A silent question, signed slowly in the dark of night.

Kurogiri signs back after a moment. ‘No repayment needed. This is for her.’

He hesitates. ‘Children like T-O-M-U-R-A should be safe.”

Shouta takes in Eri again. Big, red eyes. Blueish white hair. A powerful quirk. Was Shigaraki to All for One what Eri was to Chisaki? It’s possible. Even if Shigaraki doesn’t seem to see it that way.

‘Understood,’ Shouta signs, ‘I’ll protect her.’

Kurogiri nods and gives Eri a little nudge. “I suppose this is goodbye, then, little bunny.”

Eri swallows and bows her head politely. “I... will you tell them all thank you?” she asks very quietly.

Kurogiri seems to smile, in a way that’s more felt than seen. “I will. Perhaps you will see us again eventually.”

Not if Shouta has anything to say about it. But Eri nods and bravely closes the distance between her and him. Shouta pushes his goggles up so she can see his eyes, and smiles at her.

Eri clutches at her sweater and does not meet his eyes. He didn’t expect her to.

Another portal appears, and Shouta lifts his head. “... Kurogiri.” The villain pauses. “Contact me if you need to talk. It... can be on neutral grounds. Just a conversation.” It aches, to allow him to leave, but he has Eri to think of right now. And somehow, it would feel wrong to try to arrest him after all of this. After seeing him so gentle and caring with this traumatized child. Oboro always was good with children.

Kurogiri watches him for a long moment. Then he nods. “Take care, Shouta.” And he’s gone.

Shouta exhaled forcefully, feeling the tension seep from his body. “... come on, Eri. Let’s get you out of this cold.”

Love Is a Rebellious Bird

E | 134k | @100percentsassy and gloria_andrews

AU in which the boys still make music. Louis is the concertmaster of the London Symphony Orchestra, Harry is the New! and Exciting! interim conductor/ex-cello prodigy who "has made Mozart cool again" according to Esquire Magazine (Louis hates him immediately, which is definitely why he internet stalked him in his dark bedroom late at night that one time), and Niall is the best. Zayn and Liam are around too.

Don't hum Bolero.

i think this tickled every bone of my musical self and also made me cry (are you seeing a theme here??) one of the first fics i fell in love with and one i keep coming back to.

Collision

E | 226k | @tequiladimples

Mythology/Fairytale!AU in which Louis is a dainty fairy with a temper who wants to be intimidating and Harry hurts people. Naturally, they hate each other.

(Featuring Liam, the big and not-so-bad wolf who’s got a thing for humans, Zayn, a human with supernaturally good looks, and Niall, the cupid who just wants his job to be easier.)

the world building in this one is insanity - so much good mythology mixed in and it made me screech with joy. i think i can firmly say that i did not expect where the plot went, but that made the story so much better.

Flour and Chocolate

M | 145k | @danosphere91

It was nice, for a bakery he supposed.

Then he approached the display cabinet.

And the foreboding slammed into him. Because every product had letters next to it. Letters. GF, DF, V, O, VGN.

What. The. Fuck?

Lifting his eyes to the chalkboard menu spread across the back wall Louis felt physically ill. ‘Gluten-free’, ‘organic’, ‘vegan’, ‘paleo’, ‘dair-…’ Wait, what the fuck was a paleo? He had entered some hipster-trash establishment and it was more than time to get out.

OR

Louis is a single dad and Harry works at the newly opened bakery down the street.

the miscommunication in this fic is SO REAL and makes for a good read. the rest of the flour and chocolate series is also fantastic. i thoroughly enjoyed both the ziam and ed/niall arcs that bring the whole story together.

run away home

E | 106k | @hattalove

Louis stands, in the middle of a clearing with his hands in his pockets, and stares. This boy—God, this gorgeous, gorgeous boy. He seems so clumsy, confused at the best of times, but there’s a wisdom about him as he speaks, a maturity that belies his age.

Louis is hopelessly, wildly attracted to him.

or, louis is a successful jockey down on his luck, struggling to get his life back on track after an injury. harry has a horse, a house fit for a prince, and a broken heart.

it takes them a while to figure out that they need each other.

this makes my inner horse girl extraordinarily happy - even if i don’t know anything about horse racing. louis’ story in this is beautiful and makes the whole piece worth a read.

waiting for the tides to meet

E | 60k | @nauticalleeds

Louis lets out a deep breath, thinking about Harry’s soulmate. Thinking about how Harry’s soulmate is probably as beautiful as Harry, some person that Louis cannot compare to, and how the universe has chosen them to be Harry’s. Fuck the universe. “Fuck you,” he calls out to the universe. He’s aware of how crazy he sounds.

Maybe he is crazy, with how he’s falling for Harry. And fuck that, too.

Soulmate AU. Everyone is born with heterochromia — one eye is their own eye colour, while the other is the colour of their soulmate's. It's only when they meet their soulmate for the first time that their own eyes match properly. After a hazy night at a frat party, Louis wakes up to blue eyes and the shocking realization that he had met his soulmate, without any sober recollection. Seven years pass where Louis comes to terms with the fact that he'll never know who his soulmate is. Then one fated summer, a beautiful green-eyed photographer arrives at Louis' workplace, with promises of endless laughter and a familiar feeling in Louis' heart.

Featuring a lovely cup of OT5, a road trip down the coast, and a scene where Harry eats a whole head of lettuce. Don't ask why.

gorgeous soulmate AU that gives me summer cruising vibes. worth the read for the lettuce scene alone (i kid, i kid)

Do Not Go Gentle

E | 70k | @afirethatcannotdie

“This is all a game to you, isn’t it? Well, it’s not for me. This is a real life or death situation,” Louis says, spitting the words at him. “And I just don’t think you’re cut out for it.”

For a moment, they stare at each other in complete silence. Harry can feel his blood thrumming between his ears, can see Louis glaring at him, feels red-hot anger. And then all he feels, oppressively and desperately, is lust.

Suddenly Louis is surging up to him to press his lips against Harry’s. Harry walks the two of them backwards, pressing Louis back against the door. Louis oomphs in surprise and brings his hands under Harry’s scrub top, scratching at his lower back.

“Lock — oh — lock the… fucking door,” Louis mutters.

When Harry Styles starts his first day as a surgical intern, he expects a lot of things: to treat patients, to observe a surgery, to feel a bit overwhelmed. What he definitely doesn't expect, however, is that the handsome guy he kicked out of his bed this morning is also an intern.

A Grey’s Anatomy AU where tensions are high, Harry and Louis are hooking up in secret, and no one has time for love. Or do they?

okay i’ve watched maybe 3 episodes of Gray’s Anatomy, but i feel like this encompasses the vibe of the show: medical stuff with a hefty dose of angst and sexual tension

Falling For Me Won’t Be A Mistake

M | 58k | @all-these-larrythings

Harry is married to his job and so overworked that he doesn't know how to stop. All it takes is a forced Hawaiian get-a-away, the warm tropical breeze of the island, and the most beautiful, elusive man he's ever seen to make him remember what living is like outside of work. Well, that, and the little souvenir he accidentally takes home with him.

one of my favorite mpreg fics so if that’s not your cup of tea, then don’t read it. i love surgeon harry with a vengeance, but honestly Gems and Niall are iconic in this one.

Watching the World Fall

E | 11k | @crazyupsetter why won’t it let me tag :(

This segment has been going on long enough that Louis knows what’s coming before James starts in on it, trying to sell him on something he knows that Louis wouldn’t normally be buying. But there’s four cameras surrounding him, and an audience watching him expectantly, so if Louis wants to continue convincing people that he’s doing just fine, he’s going to have to go along with it.

“We have a whole host of single men backstage waiting to meet you, Louis,” James tells him. “We want to help you find love tonight, on Late Late Live Tinder. Is this okay? Do you want to play?”

It actually kind of makes sense that his first date after the break-up is going to be just as public as said break-up. Something like coming full circle.

“Alright, James,” Louis agrees, hopping down off his stool.

“Okay, come down to the stage,” James says. Louis can’t even tell whether the excitement in his voice is genuine or not. “Right now, come on down!”

i have a soft spot the size of Antarctica for Late Late AU fics (we stan James Corden) and for exes to lovers so this checks all the boxes.

“Brave?” Harry frowns, caught off guard. “No, not particularly.”

“You seem brave,” Louis decides, pushing off the wall and stepping on the butt of his cigarette. “You are strong, and you are not mean. That’s good,” he assures, touching Harry’s arm gently.

“Thank you, but that’s not true,” Harry smiles ruefully. “I’m really not anything special.”

Or, Harry is an American soldier in France during World War II, and Louis is a French waiter that doesn't mean to fall in love with him.

“And the corgis took to you straightaway,” Harry remarks.

“That’s true,” Louis chuckles.

 “I’ve spent the last 29 years being barked at,” Harry deadpans, jerking his hand toward Louis, “this one walks in, absolutely nothing.”

Louis outright giggles at that, saying, “They were just lying on my feet during tea.”

“Wagging tails,” Harry says, shaking his head.

“It’s because they don’t understand flirting,” Louis tells him, “you can’t charm them the way you do everyone else.”

Royal AU. Prince Harry announces his engagement to Louis Tomlinson in an interview with longtime friend and BBC host Nick Grimshaw. Inspired by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Apples Always Fall (As I Do For You)

M | 54k | @rainbowsandgucci

”Due to unforeseen circumstances, help is needed here at the orchard for the impending apple season. Looking for someone able to start within the next week or two at the most, is willing to do whatever miscellaneous tasks are needed, such as picking & packing apples, running the cash register, and other handywork that may need to be done. Must be good with customers, and able to lift up to 50lbs. Help will be needed until at the least the end of October. Please contact the number found on this page, or come out to the orchard and ask for Harry. All the love xx” --- Louis is staying at his Aunt's farm in a small town in Minnesota for four months. To deal with the boredom that sets in a week into his stay, he starts working at the local apple orchard, owned by twenty six year old Harry Styles. Louis quickly finds himself falling in love with the orchard, and he finds a family in Harry's friends Niall, Liam, and Zayn. He also starts to fall in love with Harry. Falling in love with him turns out to be the easy part.

i never thought i would enjoy an apple orchard fic?? but it’s so good?? farmer harry makes me laugh to think about, but the heartbreak in this fic is so. real.

Mine Would Be You

E | 114k | @crinkle-eyed-boo

Louis blinks his eyes open, his eyelids fluttering as the room swims around him. He takes several gulps of beer once he confirms that he’s definitely not hallucinating, that the very first portrait Harry Styles ever painted of him is hanging on that wall.

Louis stares at the wall, his heart jackrabbiting in his chest as he realizes that there’s not just one painting of him, there’s five, the portraits lined up like they’re some sort of storyboard depicting the rise and fall of his deepest love. His greatest heartache. A pain that cut him so deep that he left the fucking country, severing all ties with his life in New York, now suddenly surrounding him as if he’d never left.

Fucking shit motherfucker fuck.

Louis returns to New York City five years after he left it – and the love of his life – behind. He didn't intend to see Harry again, but fate has a funny way of pulling them together, whether they like it or not. After making a begrudging truce, they both start to wonder: Would it be so bad if history repeated itself?

exes to lovers drama but make it extra sad. the fact that we see so many facets to this story just makes it all the more painful, yet beautiful. this fic also reminds me of how much i love one mister niall horan.

One for Luck

E | 96k | @leavingonatrain

The very first time Louis remembers hearing Harry Styles' deep, deep voice, he's just won gold at the World Equestrian Games and he's officially back on Great Britain's Olympic team. He's also three sheets to the wind, drunk on victory and champagne, and there's a gorgeous boy whispering in his ear. Life's grand.

(AU: Louis and Harry are professional riders on the British Olympic team.)

again, i know nothing about horses, but i like to pretend i do for the sake of this fic. it’s beautiful, it’s smutty what else could you ask for?

Louis Tomlinson is a PR manager hired to improve the image of royal bad-boy Prince Harry Styles. Unfortunately for him, that means being faced with the Prince's constant innuendos, incessant dirty jokes, and relentless flirting. Louis just wants to make it to Princess Gemma's coronation; once she's crowned Queen, his contract is up and he never has to see the Prince again.

i absolutely. definitely. sobbed tears at this fic. it’s just so beautifully painful to read. don’t want to spoil anything, but this is a must.

“We invited our new acquaintances from uptown. You’ve simply got to meet their oldest son!” said his mother with a flourish, and suddenly it became abundantly clear as to why his parents had so adamantly demanded he join them in Deansville for the entirety of the summer.

Against his wishes, Harry spends the holidays at his family’s summer estate, and is reluctantly pulled into a courtship he didn’t ask for. Harry doesn’t want to get married, but Louis does. They don’t fit, but then again they really, really do.

Vaguely set in the 1920’s. Headpieces, jazz, fashionable canes, and flapper dresses, and that.

i strongly relate to harry in this one! one of my favorite historical AUs and honestly i love the thought of louis in well fitting suits.

E | 81k | @hattalove

Louis couldn’t be prouder of his bake, but there’s something—there’s something. Something about Harry Styles and the earnest way he measures, pours, mixes, scrapes. Something about the tip of his tongue poking out of his mouth as he knocks the air out of his batter.

or a great british bake off au in which louis cares about winning and winning only, harry is made of sunshine and rainbow sprinkles, and niall sticks his nose into other people's business. also featuring liam as louis's best friend-slash-concerned mother, and zayn as a macaron connoisseur.

i. love. the. great british baking show. baking + h&l is amazing. and another reminder as to why niall is the absolute best.

Paint The Sky With Stars

M | 62k | @icanhazzalou grrr let me tag

On 10 April 1912, Harry Styles boards the finest ship the world has ever seen. Still grieving the death of their mother, he and his sister are being sent to America to live with a callous uncle who cares more about his business connections than family. Harry prepares himself for a long, disappointing voyage alone in his stateroom.

Louis Tomlinson has borrowed and saved, and finally has enough to purchase a Third Class ticket to America. With all of his belongings in a single ruck sack, he boards the Titanic filled with hope for a brighter future. Never one to sit still, he can’t resist exploring the massive ship, and soon goes sneaking into First Class in a stolen steward’s uniform.

By a twist of fate, Louis finds himself in Harry’s stateroom, entranced by the most attractive man he’s ever laid eyes on. He keeps returning day after day, even if he doesn’t understand what it is about Harry that continues pulling him in. That’s all right; Louis has a week to figure it out, and Harry is plenty willing to help.

Except they don’t have a week. They have four days. Because on 15 April, their entire world will be turned upside down.

Or, the historically accurate Titanic AU with a happy ending.

Louis has zero interest in an ex-boybander turned solo artist when his appearance on the show gets announced, but that's exactly who he gets stuck with when Harry Styles shows up at the Late Late show to promote the release of his debut album. For an entire fucking week.

Chasing Empty Spaces

The year is 1934 and Harry Styles was to inherent the largest tobacco firm in the south. His parents have picked out the “perfect” girl for him to marry and he has the privilege of receiving the highest education possible. The problem was, Harry hadn’t realized he didn’t actually want any part of that future until he met a mechanic named, Louis Tomlinson.

gorgeous historical AU that goes through Harry’s struggle with his sexuality wonderfully. this one also made me cry.

Resist Everything Except Temptation

The lethargic sound of heels clicking against wood resonated across the sea. Footsteps descended the staircase, every assured step creating a menacing aura as it grew closer. Perspiration gathered along Louis’ palms as the rhythmic sound halted in front of him.

“Captain,” Malik greeted.

Louis watched out of his peripheral as Malik’s boots shuffled back a few steps. Sweat matted the hair along the nape of Louis’ neck as he waited for something to happen. He felt as if a sharp blade was twisting his gut as the silence became tangible. There was a metallic slide of a sword being pulled out of its sheath, the sound startling Louis out of his cocoon of sterile shock. His shoulders jumped as the tip of a blade flattened underneath his jaw. Louis’ distorted reflection stared back at him in the polished metal. Engraved rose petals twisted his appearance as they crawled up the length of the sword. The sword lifted and took Louis’ chin with it.

Standing in front of Louis was Captain Styles.

OR

The one where Louis is the commodore's son who is forced to become a part of Harry's crew when he is captured.

Harry to groans himself and then takes a deep breath. “Okay, well. Here’s the thing. I peed on a stick.”

Louis isn’t able to get more than a shocked “What!” out before Harry’s steamrolling on.

“I peed on a stick and it says it’s positive, but you always prattle on about how it’s best to go to the doctor’s before you get excited, you know to confirm it because sometimes hormones are off or you have like a tumor or some shit and get false positives and what if I’m dying and-”

“You’re pregnant?!” Louis shouts out, stomach dropping as the words leave his mouth.

“Um, yeah… maybe.”

“What am I looking at here?” Harry asks.

“This, my friends, is a ‘proof’ Instagram account, run by your students,” Liam announces.

“It’s got all this stuff about how the two of you are together,” Niall adds.

“I heard about that,” says one of the math teachers. “Confiscated a kid’s phone today when they were looking at it. I have to say, the evidence that you’re dating is pretty damning.”

“Really,” Louis says dryly. “Do you think being married for three years might have something to do with it?”

Or the one where Harry and Louis are high school teachers and their students have been playing matchmaker for over a year. Little do they know, Harry and Louis are already married.

love love teacher harry and louis that’s mostly funny fluff with a little angst. just a teeny amount. reminds me of my own experiences with meddling students haha.

[koorinohebi]

Bond Levels: Caster - Akechi Mitsuhide

Before anything else, here is a small reminder that my version of Mitsuhide, while mostly canon compliant (for Caster, at least of what we know of him), is still pretty heavily headcanon based. So this interpretation is mine and you are free to not share them at all. Now, going back on topic:

We do know that as bond levels go up, the working relationship between both master and servant also improves. This is true for Mitsuhide too, although, I believe that it stops at a certain level. I feel like raising Caster's bond comes with red flags that are pretty problematic in the long run.

From what I understood before, and something that I do adapt, depending on the master, servants are sometimes reminded of specific people in their lives. For some, it could be someone important that they hold dear; others, previous masters (vaguely), etc. So in Mitsuhide's case, if you are his master, his attitude as bond levels are raised will depend on who you remind him off.

In the chance that you remind him of either Hiroko (wife), Tama (daughter), or Kicho (cousin), he'll be more protective of you as your bond level increases. The things that he was unable to do due to having lost sight of things/abandoning things because of his goal, he will now make up for. So there are times when it'll be a little awkward, because he'd feel ashamed for what he's done, but rest assured that he wont make the same mistakes twice. Or at least, he will endeavor to avoid them so that he'll always have a clear mind and actually protect what's important to him. For these kinds of people Raising bond levels up to 10+ is pretty safe.

In that horrible, horrible chance that you remind him of Hideyoshi, he will kill you right off the bat. That's it. Negotiations are off the table. He will not have you. After all, this the Mitsuhide who feels that a certain monkey has robbed him of everything. It doesn't matter what bond level you take him to, if he so much as identifies you with Hideyoshi, he will kill you.

Now, you reminding him of Nobunaga is a little well. It's a little complicated, because somewhere in his mind, a time will come where you will betray his expectations. Surely, at a decent level (5 -9), he will respect you. He will not always show it, specially not in front of others. He'd make it appear as if you're nothing truly important, but if you're in trouble, he will come to your aid without a doubt. However, come 10 and above, it gets problematic. This is most likely the time when his association of you blurs. Because you do remind him of Nobunaga, your importance outweighs a lot of people. And he is particularly invested in you, that you are practically so close to being the second coming of his dearest lord that he can POSSIBLY do without summoning the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven (but this is his goal, so he will always want it. If you give this to him, he will love you even more). So right now, he is utterly loyal to you, but also rather very delusional. And has certain expectations that he is HOPING and DESIRING that you meet, so nothing BAD befalls you. Wanting you and your attention all to himself is the very basic of having him at bond 10, and he will probably try to kill anyone... including you (killing you @ Bond 15+), if you show ANY favoritism towards anyone else. He simply cant go through that whole Hideyoshi stealing Nobunaga away from him ordeal EVER again.

So basically, that's how it is for this Caster.

Buster: Give it a few years and you can come back around to convince James they're his Chloé: That's truly not your business Chloé: worry about your own Chloé: there's an idea Buster: I can't wait to take you to court for wasting my time with this bullshit Buster: Hopefully whoever her actual father is will be more receptive once you've copied and pasted this convo to him Chloé: N'awh Chloé: here's hoping you don't get dumped this time Chloé: must make family meals so awkward Buster: I forgot how hilarious you were Chloé: I can assure you your wife/cousin won't have forgotten Chloé: good luck, truly, you're going to need it Chloé: James is a good dad, despite his other faults Chloé: and just fucking your sister, not his own Buster: Get over the fact that Nance didn't wanna fuck you please, it's been years Chloé: Not exactly how I remember it Chloé: though I see why you two would want to rewrite your history Chloé: didn't exactly go how you planned, did it McKenna? Chloé: Poor boy Buster: Well, nobody knows better than me how selective your memory can be Chloé: It was convenient for you to believe me the 2nd time, not the 1st Chloé: you have no one to blame but yourself, likewise, should Jay ever meet you, she'll have no one to blame but you, for abandoning her Buster: It was convenient for you to fucking assault me, except it wasn't really, was it? Buster: None of that went how you planned, did it, Chlo Chloé: Assault you? Now who's funny Chloé: you couldn't wait to fuck your sister by fucking me Buster: You, still so gutted we ain't celebrating our wedding anniversary, hilarious that is Buster: And the fact you reckon I couldn't wait to do anything with you other than fuck off far away from you, ain't even that, it's just tragic Chloé: I'm afraid I don't have time for your delusions Chloé: though the fact you still fantasize about me after all these years- oh wait, no, that turns my stomach Chloé: you should know a thing or two about restraining orders by now, yeah? Chloé: Get me one against you and have a nice life Buster: So little time, so many lives to try and ruin Buster: And yeah, 'course, but so do you after that one Nance got against you, which you're bound to have had framed, like Buster: It didn't really work too well, and neither would any you tried against me if you also try and fuck with my life again Chloé: I didn't even hear about it Chloé: What extraordinarily sad, close little lives you do all lead Chloé: Your life, and how fucked it is, has nothing to do with me Chloé: you best hope James never decides he doesn't want her Chloé: that child is a nightmare Buster: She's yours, what else could she ever have a hope in hell of being? Chloé: Mutual Buster: Don't Chloé: I've said it, no amount of denial fronted as bravado changes the fact I have and you know it's true Chloé: and now you have to deal with everything you did and didn't do Buster: Nothing's true until the DNA proves it Chloé: I'm under no illusion he's going to report his findings back to me, McKenna Chloé: and I'm certainly not acting as your go-between Chloé: no doubt your sister is already well aware and all over that situation like a rash Buster: Cry about the breakdown in communication between you and your whipping boy on your own time Chloé: Yes, I'm heartbroken Buster: The only person that's surprised a 17 year old kid has more to offer him than you, is you Buster: You never really got past the mental age you were when I first moved to Chelsea, did you, babe? Chloé: We're all aware what she's offering him, I'm not surprised, I was left when he HAD to go to rehab before his daddy cut him off for how expensive the coke habit got Chloé: you were all much of a muchness to me Buster: Poor you Buster: It won't be long before your 2nd husband is driven to drink and drugs either, I'm sure, so it's a good thing you're used to that particular martyrdom, like Chloé: It's a good thing he's got more about him than any of you ever did Chloé: he can handle and take responsibility Buster: You better hope and pray he ain't or he won't stick around for the vows Buster: He'll definitely wanna hold his hands up to what a mistake it was regardless though, yeah Chloé: As I said, your jealousy and obsession is truly disturbing Buster: Says you & it's so rich that I could afford another house Chloé: Mhmm Chloé: you can go now Buster: It's richer still that you reckon you can tell me what I can and can't do Buster: You'll be hearing from my lawyer one way or another, even if all I can fuck over your new life with is maintenance payments for a kid you don't want Chloé: Of course I will Chloé: Goodbye Buster: Always a pleasure, Chlo Chloé: Not mutual Buster: Let's leave it longer than the 6 years next time, yeah?

"16 WAYS ON HOW TO KEEP A MAN"

So you feel like you found the one; he sends butterflies and dragons in your stomach whenever he's around. He calls you beautiful every single second. But for how long? Will you be able to keep him that way? Yes sister, above all reasons, you are responsible, to make him stay. How to? Here are 16 proven and tested ways on HOW TO KEEP A MAN:

1.MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MAN TO KEEP.

What I mean by this is that make sure you are keeping a "MAN"; someone who's matured enough to have a life-long commitment with you and not just a "BOY" who will have tantrums as much as you also have yours too. So girl, find a man that you'll share your toothpaste in the morning, will dine with you in mid-day, watch movies with you in the night and make wishes with you at 11:11; not someone who's just willing to share bedsheets and bed with you  (y'all know what I mean).

2. MAKE SURE HE'S WILLING TO STAY IN THE FIRST PLACE. Ironic isn't it? As much as the title of this article is concerned, these ways is to help you keep a man. But honey, the old saying goes like this "You can never keep someone who doesn't want to be kept." Make sure that he is very much sincere and inlove with you to make these things work. If this step is not applicable nor not the case with your man, then proceed to number three.

3. ASK HIS ACTIONS IF HE WANTS TO BE KEPT OR WILLING TO BE KEPT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

Finding a man who'll stay is a diamond in the rough nowadays. There are even situations that you can't even have just one, even just one man to consider your own or be your "make-believe" right man because instances, looks and money won't allow you to have one. LMAO. So girl, make sure that if you have a man that you want to spend your life with, his actions says that he wants to be kept or even if he doesn't want to, for the time being, he'll eventually want to stay and see your drooling face in the morning when you wake up as husband and wife one day. Actions speaks louder than words dear. Besides, no toothbrush nor mouthwash will ever prevent a man's lips from lying so better yet make him prove it through actions and sincere efforts.

4. KNOW WHAT HE LIKES AND WHAT HE DOESN'T : A MUST.

It's has always been one of the first step in a long term relationships, may it be friendly or romantic type of relationship. Knowing what he likes and what he doesn't, assure you that you will never go wrong in you choices and actions when it comes to the man of your life. The food he likes, the colors he prefer, the perfume he uses, and even the music he likes. By then, you'll be able to choose easily what to give him in special days and occasions or whenever you feel like giving something that he'll surely like.

4. COOK HIM GOOD FOOD.

Yeah, I know... I know this sounds cliche but hey, it always works sis. The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach. If a woman cooks good food, she will not only make her man stay, but will morelike to win the hearts of the family of his partner too.

5. COMPLIMENT HIS EFFORTS AND PHYSICAL APPEARANCE.

It isn't only us girls who wants to be complimented and to be told we are beautiful; men also want to hear from us about what we think about how they look, how his work and efforts are appreciated and how much you like him near you. Simple words like, "I like your shirt", "You smell good", or even "Thank you, Handsome" will definitely melt the macho man inside him.

6. SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH HIM.

It's always given that time is bound to be one of the most important components of long lasting relationships. In men's perspective, they are more likely to stay with a woman who knows how to value time and balance it with work, personal life and of course, time for him. Go out on a date with him, watch movies with him, and do things the two of you enjoys the most.

7. NEVER EVER MAKE YOUR MAN JEALOUS.

For women, we are entitled to be too paranoid at times, thinking that every single girls around our Babe is a threat. But honey, jealousy is different in men. When they're jealous, they tend to keep it as much as they could for the sake of they're manliness. If he says never go out with men he doesn't like the vibes of or men who acts weird around you, just listen to him and do it. So always be observant towards his actions so you'll be able to know if he being a "jelly-oh-jealous" baby. Well, he's a man too. He knows when another man has different intentions because he's been there too; before your relationship ever existed.

8. GIVE HIM TOKENS OF LOVE AND GIFTS SPECIALLY IN SPECIAL OCCASIONS.

Men are definitely not showy most of the time. He will never tell you that he likes the shirt you two ran across the department store nor tell you he wants a birthday present on his birthday. But believe me, he's the happiest when you give him gifts or simple tokens of love. It makes him feel loved and important. I mean, after all his efforts and love, he deserves presents too.

9. KNOW THE BOUNDARIES OF BEING A "GIRLFRIEND" AND A "MOTHER".

Darling, believe me when I say that men feels irritated when their woman act like a "Nagging Mom". You can't go nag all day like a cringey mom that nags at his son 24/7(well that's what most mom's do. LOL). He already have a mom, what he needs is a loving girlfriend.

10. BE NOT TOO TIGHT NOR TOO LOOSE.

What were you thinking when you read this one? Well, whatever may it be, what I mean here is that never ever make your man feel suffocated nor being neglected. Allow each other to have a social life, be with their friends and give a "ME" time for each other. A good amount of air to breathe and waves to feel in a relationship keeps the boat sailing properly.

11. NEVER EVER SLEEP ON BIG FIGHTS AND CONFLICTS.

A small hole in a relationship will eventually grow over time if not resolved right away. Usually, a man compromises the argument just for the sake of fixing everything. But it can never be always like that. It doesn't matter who started the fight, it doesn't matter who's wrong and who's right, because what matters is that you guys know how to say sorry and swallow both of your pride to fix everything. Your man may not tell it to you directly whenever you fight, but it hurts him when he see's you cry.

12. EXERT SOME EFFORT TO LOOK GOOD FOR HIM.

Even though our man tells us that we always look pretty with or without anything in our faces but hey, there's no harm in exerting extra efforts in putting on makeups, spraying perfume and wearing nice dress when you're around him. This is not to actually make you change yourself to someone else or put on heavy, scandalous makeups and clothes just to please him. But the mere fact that he sees that you still try your best to look good for him make him feel that you are still excited to see him and have a good impression from him.

13. TALK ABOUT FUTURE PLANS WITH HIM AND MAKE IT HAPPEN TOGETHER.

Making plans and picturing yourself together for the next years is one of the sweetest thoughts in relationships. Talking about your future with him like your future house, your future kids and other plans in life, will make him see like you are really into him and that you are really committed to end up being with him for the rest of your lives. But of course, your plans together should also be put into actions. Imagine, you two, looking back to those days when you guys are just sketching your dream home then you eventually have one, with your kids with it and still the unconditional love for each other that makes your house, a HOME.

14. NEVER BRING UP YOUR EXES IN THE PICTURE.

Remember this girls, never ever bring up exes in the picture especially when you guys are quarrelling. Never compare him to your exes nor tell him to just go back to her peacocks before. Don't compare him to your exes as if they did better than he does. Well, because if they did, you wouldn't call them exes now, would you?

15. ALWAYS RESPECT EACH OTHERS' FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, AND DECISIONS.

You can never avoid arguments with each other. Knowing that us, women, are usually more sensitive than men, we ought to start arguments; sometimes even the petty things could even up being a huge argument whenever we feel like quarreling with our partner. But beyond any arguments, beyond any doubts and conflicts between the two of you, never ever disrespect each others' feelings. Of course that includes not doing anything that will void your commitment with each other, hurt each others' feelings, tell lies and anything above the sun that can disrespect each others' feelings (in short,don't date nor see another dudes when you're dating a man already, Hun). Respect his personal space if he asks for it. If you want your man to respect you and your feelings, give him it to him too.

16. ABOVE ALL WAYS TO KEEP YOUR MAN:

"TRUST AND LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE CELLS IN YOUR BODY, YOUR MIND, YOUR SOUL AND YOUR HEART."

Sis, believe me when I say trusting him will make him stay. Just like how you like him to trust you. Trusting him will make him see how mature your relationship is, how strong your foundation became, how much you really love him and remind why he loved you in the first place. Trusting him, is loving him. Sure, he could make you cry or will not buy that bag you really wanted, but honey, no man is perfect. So are you. He'll be wrong, he'll commit mistakes, but when the moment he sees you still believe in him and you still trust him despite of his imperfections, he'll think that he will never ever need another woman rather than you.

Being the woman, gives us privileges in relationships, yes. But let us never forget that in a healthy commitment, it will always be give and take. You guys have to assist each other to grow better together and always think that your love for each other is stronger than all the doubts in the world (stronger that Thanos with all the infinity stones with him). So step up your game and prove him that you too, is a diamond in the rough, worthy to be kept with his arms a lifetime~
