One thing I find very ironic about Spyxfamily is the way the Desmonds are portrayed. I understand that according to the narrative, they (namely Donovan) are the antagonists of the story, but I do find it quite tepid that so many character analysis is bonded by this very dichotomy style approach to understanding the characters (if that makes any sense).
I'm having a hard time approaching my point so bare with me if it starts to get confusing or disjointed.
I always see people talking about how the Forgers (aka the fake family) are able to have a happy relationship and a genuine bond while the Desmonds (aka the real family) are distant and uncaring of one another. There's a lot of emphasis on the parallels between Damian and Anya and how the presence of their fathers impact their lives. Most of the discussion is centered around shaming Donovan for not being more involved in Damian's life but not a lot of people are acknowledging why.
The whole reason for the fake family as part of Twilight's mission is because Donovan is a closed off skeptic who avoids unnecessary social interaction. This mission is supposedly the easiest way to get to him. As the story goes on, we gain a better understanding of just how shut off Donovan is and how much he actually isolated himself, even from his own family.
But the thing is, his actions are justified. The mere existence of Operation Strix validates his fears and anxieties. The fact that Twilight a spy is trying to expoilt the relationship he has with his children in order to get closer to him is the very reason he avoids them so much. It's people like Twilight that make him such a skeptical person.
Again, people praise Twilight for being a good dad, except he isn't really a good dad. It's all a facade. He's so dedicated to his goal as a spy for the West that he's willing to fake an entire family just to find out what Donovan is planning. Everything Donovan hates and resents is embodied in Twilight.
In the end, Twilight is just as harmful to Anya as Donovan is to Damian. He grabbed a random child from an orphanage and is using her for his own personal gain with limited regard for her well-being. We are not even sure what he plans on doing with her when the mission is over. Anya is obviously able to manipulate the situation to her own advantage, but that's only because she's a telepath. Any other kid would just be playing along, assume they just got themselves a new family overnight. We do see him grow and deepen his bond with Anya, in some cases threatening the mission for her benefit, but that was never a guarantee.
In a very frustrating way, Twilight is also contributing to Damian's strained relationship with his father and family. While Donovan obviously doesn't know what Twilight is doing, he's still aware that there are people out there who might. So, he continues to be guarded and make unreasonable demands of his children. He makes Damian feel he has to earn his place in his father's life because people like Twilight push Donovan to limit the number of people that are allowed in his life. I'm not saying it's Twilight specifically who's at fault, but people like him who are very much trying to force their way into his circle.
And I'm not saying of this yo defend Donovan or put down Twilight but I would like for less black and white thinking when talking about a Manga that hinges itself on nuance and the complexity of post war society. I find it a bit tired to keep categorizing characters as good or bad because it really hinders any conversation about them.
Idk I just feel there's a lot of moral ambiguity in sxf that really is intended to make us question our own moral code so it's weird seeing people ignore the actual harm Twilight and Yor cause just to reinforce their own limited moral values.
I don't think this makes much sense honestly.

Subby!Marc Spector hcs!
I don't think this needs tw warnings but like y'know 18+ MDNI I swear to fuck I'll pepperspray children in the eyeballs. Uuuh, edging, butt stuff, face sitting, AFAB reader themes if you squint really hard.
ANYWAY, ONTO THE SHOW!
He is not one to sub. At all. Like, you will have to work HARD to get him comfortable enough to approach the topic of him being sexually submissive.
It isn't that he hasn't thought about it, just that he's...very very anxious about it in practice.
Homie likes his control.
Absolutely something you have to talk with him on, lots and lots of talking and assurances, probably dismantling a bit of some toxic masculinity like being sexually submissive doesn't make him less of a man, etc etc.
He will 100000% immediately jump to make a hard limit of no butt stuff! (This is the mystery mouse katoole that will come in handy later!)
Its very much so an issue with control for him, but starting small with some edging and building confidence in you as a partner is key!!!
It starts with some edging, asking him to be hands off while you ride/give him handjobs/blowjobs. This is easier for him, and helps introduce the dynamic in a way he's familar with.
Marc IS a praise slut, but he HAS to feel like he's 'earned' it, otherwise he's just gonna clam up and get embarassed. Oral + praise is the easiest way to introduce it!
Once he's been introduced into being submissive, he's still a switch, but he'll be much more receptive to submitting after the first few times, and THAT is where you can start bringing the heat.
Marc is the type to grit his teeth, snarl and buck when he's worked up, and theres nothing fucking hotter than him working his absolute best unrestrained to obey, when all he wants to do is grab you up and fuck you stupid because of how much you have teased and edged him.
Punishment when he breaks the rules comes in the form of having to watch you finger yourself while you're just out of reach, likely hovering over his face, spreading yourself and showing off how worked up you are and how he can't have a taste because he was naughty.
This is how you make him a begging man. He doesn't beg often, but when his cockhead is almost a pretty bruised color from how long you've teased him, how his pre has matted his happy trail and gel'd down his pubic hair, and how his balls ache from being brought so close to that edge and held there, and you're an inch away from his lips, huffing and sighing, showing AND telling how wet you are?
He's begging. He's promising anything, he swears he'll obey if you'll just sit. Not even touch him! Just. Sit.
Remember his hard limit? That softens over time as you show him how good prostate stimulation can feel!
He's not a hair trigger...but start stimulating his prostate externally and he'll bust quick.
Whiiiiich, brings us to when he finally allows you to peg him!
He insists on doggy style the first time around because he is NOT going to have to look you in the eye when you enevitably hit his prostate and he moans like a bitch in heat.
Which he does, by the way. And you have to be gentle and sooth him and assure him you liked it to avoid him getting clammed up the first time.
Pull his hair in doggy style and watch him arch that back into the bed. I dare you.
He loves hairpulling no matter what, that little sting is just right to send his brain swimming, so take a fistful of his curls and take that big guy to pound town.
Jokes aside, once he gets taken by it, he takes a pounding like a thrashing bronco. He's strong, and unsure what to expect not only of his body, but also of you.
He reaaaaaaally likes it when you meet his ass with your hips and grind, like sure thrusting is great but get in there and grind and watch how he melts.
Absolutely bites his hand to hide his noises and swears. He's fine with it when he's in control, but its much harder for him when he's submissive.
He cums super duper hard from prostate play!!!
Edge him, and finish him with overstimulation, jerking him off with one of those mechanical fleshlights while you slowly fuck his ass and watch that man loose his goddamn mind.
Where is he? Not on fucking planet earth thats for damn sure.
Subspace is devout with him, can be tricky to get there, but insanely rewarding.
Subdrop for Marc is very much so a thing. Take a shower with him afterwords, cuddle, put something on to listen to.
Do not let him get stuck in his thoughts it won't be good.
Grilled cheese with caramelized onions and a beer is his favorite after-sub meal. Let him make it, but stay by his side and keep him talking.

since your requests are open, could you do headcanons about soft femdom mc riding the brothers and overstimulating them while giving them sweet praises like "you're doing well", if you only take fic requests could you do it with lucifer or levi?
I’m sorry this took so long but I enjoyed writing this so much. Stay thirsty.
The Brothers x Femdom!MC
Warnings: gentle female domination, submissive brothers.
Belphie
Usually the one who prefers to be in control, it’s going to take some brat taming to get Belphie to submit even a little.
But you love his bratty side. It makes the moment you break him all that much sweeter. It’s always when you’re on top of him, holding his arms above his head. His ragged moans hit against your lips.
“That’s better. Let me take care of you, brat. I’ll show you how to behave.” And as his voice gets weaker, as the edge gets even closer, you showed him in praise.
“That’s right. Good boy. Good boy, Belphie. You’re doing so well.” You talk him through his deep orgasm, letting him fill you entirely as a reward.
Beel
Desperately wants to be praised and to please you. Beel puts his heart into worshipping you each time you grace him with your touch.
Make him beg a little. The desperate way he’ll say anything, do anything for you made you want to spoil him as well. Definition of Good Boy
Reward him by restraining him letting him relax as you take the lead, straddling his waist. Show him how much he stretches you out. Praise him for how big he is. But how gentle his is too.
“You know just how to please me. Beel you’re the best. Let me satisfy that hunger of yours”. He always asks permission to cum, always eager to please. Always eager to empty himself inside you.
Asmo
You only had to hint at wanting to dominate him and Asmo was already pulling out his silk ropes and harnesses.
Also eager to please. Asmo knows how much love you put into dominating him. How when you choke him, or when you deny his orgasm, or when you do let him orgasm unexpectedly; he felt all the care in your touch.
Switches between being bratty and obedient. Loves when you spoil him but sometimes he needs you to tug his hair and spank him more.
“MC~ Call me your Sweet Boy again~ ♡” “Earn it baby. Give me a reason to call you sweet.”
Satan
Difficult to tame but worth the effort. His sweet cries and mewls of pleasure show how much he loves being under your control. But you will need to be rough at first. He needs to know his place.
“You’re here to please me, got it? You’re only good for fucking and saying my name....” “Y-yes mistress. I’m yours to use.”
Satan’s never been one to show such a shameful, perverse side of himself, but you bring it out of him. Let him know it’s what you want. What you love about breaking him down and riding him senseless.
“Good Boy, Satan. You’re fucking me so good. You have such a good cock.” “Th-thank you ma’am.”
Levi
...the easiest to tame of all the brothers. You, in control? On top? Praising him? Just tell him what position you want him to be in.
“M-MC! G-g-g-gggggood. So good!” “That’s it Levi, tell me how much you love it. Tell me how much you love being inside me.”
He probably cums the fastest, but can go for hours and hours. Enduring all the teasing and edging you could ever imagine. Levi is so desperate for praise and he’ll reduce himself to a sobbing mess for you if that’s what you want.
“Th-there. Good boy Levi, good boy. I love how good you are Levi. Say my name.” “M-MC!” He might cum immediately but don’t worry, he’s ready to please you how ever long you like.
Mammon
Mammon’s not one to admit his secret love for power play. Being the masochist he is told you enough though. Holding him down, tying him up, sometimes gagging him with your wet panties all made his cock stir with need.
He’s more than happy to show you his devotion. So when you make any demand he’s ready to jump to it. He loves when you sit on his face. Or when you trap him down with your pact and ride him.
“MC...Im so close. I can’t hold on.” “Shhhh. Keep going. You’re doing so well baby boy. Let me spoil you.”
You can always see the effect of your words across his face. The way his eyes tear up or when his mouth hangs open while he moans loudly is reward enough. But you’ll keep on praising him.
Lucifer
Good luck. The untamable brat hiding in Lucifer will take time and patience, but another one that’s worth the work. It’s all about control for him so let him know he can trust you. Show him you know how to make him feel good.
When you first order him around, it’s about humoring you. But as the night wears on, he becomes more flustered, more embarrassed, and more aroused by your lead.
As you’re riding him, you always make sure to tell him how good he feels inside you. How full he makes you feel.
“Lucifer. Lucifer. Lucifer.” “You like this MC? Fucking yourself on my cock?” You might need to remind him who exactly is in control from time to time. But you make sure he knows he’s a good boy.

Meeting and Dating Napoleon Bonaparte
Tumblr media
(Not my gif)(Requested by anonymous)
- Having worked at the Museum of Natural History for over two years, very little was capable of surprising you at this point. You’d come to expect the unexpected and you were almost always prepared for anything.
- Apparently though, there was still a few things that managed to catch you off guard: like your dear friend; and ex coworker, explaining that Ahkmenrah’s evil brother was trying to take over the world …or the fact that you’d wind up finding Napoleon Bonaparte of all people; or wax figures, …sort of attractive. 
- Yeah... that was an interesting discovery....
- So, as the story goes, Larry informed you that the museum exhibits were in trouble and that he’d be traveling to Washington in hopes of saving them from whatever danger they’d found themselves in. With very little convincing, you’d agreed to accompany him and you soon found yourself facing off with Kahmunrah and his various minions.
- Which led you to this exact moment: standing cornered in a random room as Napoleon and his guards pointed weapons at you and; mainly, Larry. 
- You watched silently as Larry and the man went back and forth, arguing about height and whatever other unimportant thing came up before you’d made yourself a little more known by complimenting the French mans plan. 
- Whether you were being serious or merely taking the piss is unimportant, all that matters is that you’d made it seem as though you found the man to be impressive and that you’d directed his attention towards you …and boy did he like what he saw. 
- He immediately walked over, putting on a smile and thanking you as he began to noticeably behave in a far more flirty way. 
- Although it wasn’t entirely successful; particularly after he slid across the floor to question Larry about your relationship, it did manage to catch you off guard and get you just a tad bit flustered. 
- But, just as soon as it began, it was over in a flash. The man forced Larry to come with him, interrupting you as you began to say that you were coming with them, telling you that their fight was not with you; which you would probably have considered to be quite noble in just about any other circumstance. 
- Your story momentarily ends here but that isn’t the last time you encounter the Frenchmen. It’s only a few months later that the Museum of Natural History gets a few new guests....
- The first time Napoleon awakens again, he almost immediately encounters Larry; which neither of them are very happy about. What he is happy about is the realization that if Larry is here, there’s a very likely chance that you are as well. 
- So; with forced nonchalance, the man asks about you. 
“And your friend ...is she here?” He says slowly, looking around as though he expects you to show up at any moment. 
“Yeah. Yeah, she’s here. She works here so …you know,” Larry pauses. “She’s probably in her office …working. Downstairs …her office.”
- They stand in an awkward silence for a moment before they both excuse themselves and Napoleon goes off in search of you.
-  He runs into you just as you’re coming up for a break, greeting you with a charming smile and a “Bonjour Mademoiselle”. And, for the first time since you first met, he properly introduces himself, kissing your hand and making it increasingly obvious that his interest in your love life was not merely a “French thing”. 
- And though you should probably be doing whatever you can to get away from the wax figure with a questionable moral compass, you find yourself unable to. Instead, you stand and speak with him, making conversation until you really need to get back to work.
- But that isn’t the last time you speak with him …he makes sure of that. It seems as though you’re the only thing that really interests him in the museum and soon enough, you’re growing quite used to; and fond of, his growing presence in your life. 
- It doesn’t take long for Napoleon to try and ask you out. I mean he conquered most of Europe; wooing a woman is childs play compared to that, right? 
- Partially. While you do like him and admit that his French flirtation is tempting, you also know that you have to be reasonable and being reasonable does not include dating a museum exhibit who is only capable of coming alive at night with the help of a magical tablet. 
- So the two of you play a game of cat and mouse where he flirts and you enjoy it but do your best to pull away when things start to get too heavy and you can feel the damning words approaching the tip of his tongue.
- You never let him get to the point of actually asking you out. You excuse yourself, you distract him, you change the subject, you do whatever you can to keep your head on straight.
- And it works, it works for a pretty good amount of time, but there's only so long that you can avoid the inevitable; especially when its obvious that you both like each other.
- So finally, the wax figure manages to get the words out, very romantically and suavely asking if you would be his, and though your mind is telling you that it really isn't a good idea, you cant help but say yes.
- He smiles and plants a kiss on the hand of yours that he was holding, telling you that he’ll meet you at your office the next night and the two of you say goodbye.
- Your first date is a stroll around the museum, talking and enjoying your newfound attempt at a relationship.
- You share your first kiss a week or so later after you have a few good dates and decide that you want to continue on with this out of the ordinary relationship.
- You’re sitting outside on the steps of the museum, looking out at the view of the city under the stars when he leans in and presses his lips to yours. You share a soft kiss before you pull away with a smile and scoot in closer to each other.
- After that, the two of you get to experience all the nitty gritty of relationships with each other.
- Napoleon isn't shy about his interest in and affection for you so pda isn’t a rare occurrence in your relationship. He adores you and he thinks that people should know that. 
- His arm around your waist; depending on your height it’s probably the easiest place for him to reach. 
- Keeping close to each other. He’ll oftentimes hold your hand or your elbow and stay right by your side, looking at you lovingly and listening to you intently. 
- Knuckle kisses. 
- Slow, romantic kisses. 
- Him occasionally just laying one on you; particularly when he’s frustrated or overcome with another sort of powerful emotion. They’re always abrupt and passionate and wind up taking your breath away. 
- He uses a lot of pet names on you; oftentimes ones that make you sound small or cute: things like my little darling, my little mouse, etc. He’ll also use a plethora of French terms of endearment on you since he doesn’t speak a whole lot of English. 
- He secretly likes when you use pet names on him but he probably won’t admit it to you; he’ll just have a little smile on his face and a warm reaction to them whenever you happen to use them. 
- Don’t even bring up the idea of him being the little spoon because he will never take kindly to it. He’ll always be the big spoon or have you resting your head on him regardless of how little sense it may make snuggle-wise. 
- The two of you are only capable of seeing each other at night and only when you can get away from work or when you’re able to get night shifts so he likes being able to have a keepsake of you. More likely than not it’s a photo or note that you wrote him which he keeps in his pocket or hat. 
- Bringing in little treats for him. He’s stuck inside a museum and his own waxy body most of the time, he’s bound to miss things from the outside world so it’s always nice when you surprise him with something no matter how small.
- Having him by your side whenever you can. He likes lazying around and just being in your presence while you work so you better get used to him. 
- He’s always the first one to greet you when he awakens or as you arrive at the museum for your shift. He likes having that honor.
- Telling him about the outside world. He’s missed a lot so you’ll definitely need to fill him in on some current events. He’d also be rather interested in hearing about his impact on the world and how people view him; just try not to mention the complex thing too much. 
- Learning about each others lives. He’s obviously going to have a lot more interesting stories but he never minds listening to yours; even if they’re really boring in comparison.
- Letting him brag about his military prowess. He’ll probably try to act all humble and modest in the beginning but will then start eagerly talking about it like you were begging him to do so.
- Hyping him up and making him all smiley with your compliments. He’s pretty approval driven so your praise and validation does wonders to his self esteem.
- His soldiers standing guard or interrupting you if something important is happening.
- His soldiers have also probably helped him execute grand gestures that he’s thought up for you.
- Trying to sneak him out of the museum and into your home every now and again. 
- If you’re able to sneak him away for a night then he’d probably enjoy going to a quiet café or restaurant; somewhere the two of you can relax and enjoy some nice food away from the typical chaos of the museum. 
- He’d definitely be the type of guy to order for you at restaurants; if you were able to go to restaurants. It’s really up to you if you want to spend your hard earned money and take the time to try to figure out a way to get him out for the night. 
- Getting him to play little games with you. You have to do something to pass the time, right? And he’s secretly a bit of a pushover for you so it’s never very difficult.
- Using his telescope to look out the windows of the museum.
- Picnics in areas of the museum or right outside on the steps.
- Marching/strutting around the Museum. Something tells me that he’d walk around with his chin held high and his chest puffed out; as though he were still emperor.
- Romantic language; though he probably speaks in French when he wants to be all lovey dovey with you. 
- Him looking you up and down. He’s fairly obvious about it but it’s up to you to know if you’d be able to pick up on what he’s doing.
- Get used to winking and borderline salacious facial expressions and gestures because they’re fairly common with him.
- Love letters. 
- He’s old fashioned; partially because he’s just old, so chivalry and social etiquette is a big part of who he is; though it might only surface when he’s around you. He’s always on his best behavior whenever he can be and acts endearingly gentlemanly.
- Gossiping with each other. 
- You having any Napoleon “merch”; for lack of a better word, would make him completely smug and he’d have no other choice but to tease you for it. 
- Dealing with his overdramatic reactions and behavior. 
- Making sure he doesn't get into trouble; or at least trying to whenever you can. Sometimes it’s just inevitable so you’ll have to do your best to provide damage control. 
- Letting him handle his fights. It’s best to just sit back and let him deal with things sometimes; he likes thinking that he doesn’t need any help even when he really does. 
- Ivan probably makes sure that you have only the best intentions for Little Nippy and once he likes you, he’ll feel the need to defend and protect you as well. 
- Larry thinks you’re sort of crazy for wanting to be with a wax figure; particularly one who literally had a complex created in his image, but you just pay him no mind. 
- Napoleon isn’t an incredibly jealous person, mainly because he’s not afraid to be direct and ask questions. If he thinks something is going on between you and another person, he’s going to interrogate them to see what their intentions are. 
- But on that note: he does get jealous when you fawn over someone else; someone like a movie star, or show fascination in another exhibit; although it’s less jealousy and more him feeling insecure and wondering what they have that he doesn't. 
- He isn’t particularly protective but he also has guards he can order to watch over you whenever he perceives there to be some form of danger. That being said: he’s immediately rushing to your side the minute he hears you let out any pained/frightened noise or hears that something might have happened to you. 
- Given how sensitive he is, there’s bound to be a few arguments in your relationship. They’re never very serious but they still occur. 
- He’s easily placated with an apology or an explanation but if you’re not in the mood to give one, it still wont take him very long to forgive you and begrudgingly admit that he may have overreacted. 
- Napoleon tells you that he loves you quite a bit but he leaves it for when you’re alone or tries to say it quiet enough for the people around you not to hear. He wants people to know that you’re together, he doesn’t want them thinking he’s weak. 
- Your relationship might not be the most conventional nor is it one that’s easy to keep up for years to come, but you know that you care about each other more than anyone can know and that's enough for you.

chapter 42
Fake Making-It
Social Media AU
previous chapter
it’s not proofread and most of it was written in the middle of the night and I think it probably kinda sucks, so sorry, but happy actual valentine’s day from these idiots 💕
~^~
Jens opens the door and immediately begins to shut it in Sander’s face.
Sander shoves his foot into the gap and wraps his hand around the frame, bravely, and forces it back. Jens lets go with a sigh, that turns even heavier when he spots Robbe at Sander’s shoulder. Sander keeps his hand pressed to the door and watches Jens cautiously, as if expecting him to slam it closed the instant Sander lets go. It isn’t an entirely unfair judgment.
“What is this?” Jens asks.
“A slight intervention,” Robbe tells him, sharing a glance with Sander. “And this time you need to listen.”
Jens leans out the door mockingly, but Sander furrows his brows at him. “Lucas hasn’t come back from Utrecht, no, and I don’t blame him.”
This puts Jens on pause and sets him rocking back on his heels. He blinks. “Utrecht? Why the fuck is he in Utrecht?”
“That’s where he lives,” Sander says slowly. “Or, where he grew up, at least. He’s staying with his mom.”
Jens knows that. He knows where Lucas’s home is, and he’s slightly (irrationally) pissed that Sander is treating him like he doesn’t, or that he’s stupid. He knows what and where Utrecht is; he just doesn’t know why Lucas is there. The message, however, feels pretty clear, and entirely contradictory to the messages on his phone. It makes him feel a little sick.
“Why are you here, then?” If Lucas doesn’t even want to be in the same country with him, then Jens doesn’t understand the purpose of further meddling. If Sander as mad at Jens for driving him away, Jens will point out that he didn’t tell Lucas to leave and then resort back to slamming the door. He might use the chain this time for extra security measures.
Sander slowly lets his hand drop from the door and asks, “Can we come in?”
Jens stares at him for a moment. He looks to Robbe and isn’t surprised by the encouraging nod he receives. He steps back, biting down another sigh, and sweeps his arm out in a ‘go ahead’ gesture.
The two filter into the apartment, Robbe squeezing his shoulder as they pass. They settle on Jens’s sofa side by side, and Jens drops into his armchair and looks at them expectantly.
“I know that you’re upset,” Sander says softly, “and I understand why. I also get why you’re angry. But I need you to be chill Jens for a second and listen. Will you?”
Jens glares at him for a second, but it feels uncomfortable on his face. He’s tired of feeling angry and he’s tired of being hurt. There is a chance, after all, that Sander will tell him something he wants to hear. The blond looks serious and confident—moreso than Jens has ever seen him. It might be that he’s sure of what he has to say, or it might be Robbe’s hand rubbing circles on his knee. Jens decides to nod anyway.
Sander’s shoulder sag on a breath of relief. “Okay. I need you to know you’re wrong. Don’t give me that face—you’ve already realised this yourself. I know you realise this. I need you to understand—none of this was Lucas’s fault. He hated every second of it. I should have stepped up for him the last time we were here and made that clear. Did Lucas talk to you much about how he was when he was younger, and what it was like for him coming out?”
Jens thinks back, but he can’t recall them ever broaching the topic. They’ve had some deep conversations, but there’s still plenty about Lucas that Jens doesn’t know or had ever thought to ask. He shakes his head.
“It wasn’t...great. He had a hard time with it. It made him do a few stupid things, hurt a few of his friends. But ever since he came out, he’s done everything he could to be brutally honest,” Sander huffs a laugh. He raises a brow at Jens and adds, “You’ve seen that for yourself. Think of the first day he met you, at least. Before I messed everything up. He wasn’t lying to you, then.”
He wasn’t. He was sassy and sure and a little harsh, really, and Jens had probably fallen for him on the spot. He offers a shrug.
Sander accepts that he isn’t going to get anything more and continues. “For as long as I’ve known him, Lucas has been unapologetically himself. He hates lying, unless it’s something small and basic like getting out of dinner with his dad or a way out of work he doesn’t want. White lies are the most he allows himself. From the very beginning, before you even messaged him that first time, he didn’t want to lie to you.”
“So what happened?” Jens asks, trying not to sound desperate. “Why did he?”
“I don’t know,” Sander admits quietly. Robbe squeezes his knee as he swallows, but then he looks at Jens with the same surety as before. “Maybe he panicked, too, but my best guess is that he did it for me. He wouldn’t have lost anything by telling you the truth that day, but he would’ve had to give me away, so he didn’t. It doesn’t matter that it was stupid. If there’s one thing about Lucas, it’s that he’s loyal to a fucking fault. He messed up before in that area too, but,” Sander pauses, licking his lips and shaking his head, eyes now downcast. “He’s done everything to make up for it since. It doesn’t matter that I didn’t deserve it. He’s just too good of a friend.”
Jens looks at Robbe, and his best friend meets his eyes, and for the first time Jens feels a pang of sympathy. He thinks of all the things that Robbe has done for him that he likely didn’t deserve, and what he’d do for Robbe in turn. He imagines himself in Lucas’s position, and comes to an understanding. If Robbe needed him, he would be there, no questions asked. No matter the reason or risk. There are lengths he would go to for his best friend that he’d scoff over with anyone else.
Still.
“That doesn’t change anything between us,” he mumbles. “It doesn’t change the fact that he did it.”
“No,” Sander agrees instantly. “It doesn’t change the fact that he messed up along with me. That he did lie and that it hurt you. But it changes your understanding, doesn’t it?”
Jens looks to Robbe again, who is now smiling knowingly. Another side effect, he supposes—Robbe has always been able to more or less read his mind.
Robbe speaks up, softly. “It doesn’t. He already understands, it’s just making him admit it.”
Now, Jens narrows his eyes. Maybe he overestimated the best-friend solidarity. Or maybe that’s exactly why Robbe’s doing this.
Sander’s eyes have brightened with Robbe’s reassurance, and he’s back to staring steadily at Jens, overly sure. “Robbe’s right. You’re upset because you think he lied to you about more than this. That he played you, or fabricated whatever you have between you. But you already know better. You know what kind of person Lucas is, Jens.”
Does he? This is what he’s been asking himself over and over, these past few days. The hurt has been almost buried under the panic of his outing, which he is yet to address, but still there has been space for this single question. He remembers everything he had shared with Lucas, the night they kissed. He remembers Lucas calling him out, for always acting like he knew Lucas by heart, but it had seemed like he was right and that Lucas was simply admitting it. Jens has always felt like he knew Lucas, from somewhere deeper than surface level facts. His brain and his heart have both been unsure, but there’s something adamant in his soul even now, something that extends to his gut. There is something in him agreeing with every word Sander says, screaming at him so that he might acknowledge what he already knows to be true.
“Lucas was always pissed at me, but there were times when he would come to me first and be so adamant that we had to fix things, that we had to tell you the truth. I didn’t realise at the time, but I know it was because of you,” Sander continues.
Jens’s chest tightens. “What do you mean?”
“It must have always been after he’d spoken to you. He said it a few times, that he couldn’t take you praising his honesty and lying to you over and over.”
Sander says this pointedly, as if acknowledging the center of Jens’s argument and demolishing it. His sole excuse, the center of his hurt, is that he has spent this whole time appreciating Lucas’s honesty while it has been founded on lies from the beginning. But it holds no weight, if Lucas had made the same point himself.
“I thought it was just because of the lie, but it’s because it was you,” Sander says firmly. “He wouldn’t have kept talking to you if he didn’t want to. Everything he shared with you, Jens, it means a hundred times more because of the circumstances. He could have made it easier for himself by avoiding you and hiding away, but he couldn’t. He could have let you try without offering up any of himself, but he didn’t.”
Jens, admittedly, has spent too much time pondering over that himself. It had been something that didn’t make sense. He could never truly believe Lucas would be cruel enough to go to such an extent—to fabricate enough information to convince Jens he was being honest and open; to earn his favour through such a dirty trick. He hasn’t been able to convince himself that all Lucas has told him has been a lie.
Robbe raises his brows at him, as if he knows Jens is caught. Jens ignores him and any expectancy to respond, letting Sander continue.
“It was killing him, and I know you could see it and just didn’t know what it was. Robbe told me, that you always wondered if Lucas was happy.” Sander gestures at Robbe, and seems sad now as he looks at Jens. “He wasn’t, with me. But even when things were fucked up, he couldn’t help it with you. It’s not the easiest thing to do, but you always seemed to make him happy, and I couldn’t understand it. I thought it was some weird kick out of rivalry, his way of trying to keep things light, maybe. I didn’t know. I didn’t see.” There seems, again, to be a silent acknowledgement that strengthens Sander’s sadness. I didn’t see it in my best friend, but you did. “The reason he lied, the reason he left—all of it’s because of me, not you. It’s not your fault. But it certainly isn’t his.”
It’s a little surprising, that Sander assumes some part of this is Jens blaming himself. It’s more surprising that he’s right. Jens hasn’t been able to help wondering what it is, what aspect of him makes it so easy for people to deceive him. What makes people want to. He’s gotten so used to it—being set up and knocked down. He has performed endless trust falls, and almost always ended up on his ass. This has felt even worse. Every day he’s been falling further and harder, breaking through the ground and gathering more aches and bruises with each passing moment.
Now, suddenly, he stops.
Something soft and warm catches him and wraps him up and says, You weren’t wrong. You were always right. You’ve always known.
The realisation hits him like a punch, knocking the breath out of him on a long, shaky exhale.
Sander and Robbe both notice, and beam at him, Sander letting out a sigh of relief. Robbe wraps himself around Sander’s arm and hugs the limb tightly, smiling so wide his cheeks seem ready to split. “Finally.”
“Alright,” Jens mutters, letting out a sigh of his own. There’s no heat in it anymore. “I’m as fucking stupid as the two of you have been,” he tells Sander.
“Well,” Robbe interrupts, politely. He squeezes Sander’s arm. “I wouldn’t think you’re on quite the same level. There was sense to your stupidity, and you were still right to be hurt.”
“You weren’t,” Jens points out, looking between the two of them.
Sander dismisses this with a wave and a lovesick look towards his boyfriend. Jens doesn’t understand how he never noticed that, at the very least. “Yeah, well, Robbe’s too nice,” Sander says.
Jens doesn’t have an argument for that. He does, however, have one final point he wants to make. “But,” he raises his brows, catching their attention and focusing on Sander. “I don’t think I’m the one who has to apologise to Lucas.”
The meaning is clear, and instead of shrinking away from it, Sander’s eyes finally light up in understanding.
He deflates just as quickly, looking down and plucking at Robbe’s fingers. “I don’t think he’ll ever forgive me.”
“You said it yourself,” Jens reminds him. “Lucas is a good friend. Loyal to a fault. He’s hurt and he left because of you, not me. That should be enough proof of how much he cares.”
Sander swallows. He leans against Robbe, who presses further into his side, and then he looks back up at Jens. “What am I supposed to do, then?”
Jens shrugs, raising his brows once more. “I’m guessing you both expected a nice romantic gesture out of me. So what do you think you’re supposed to do, Sander?”
~^~
Lucas opens the door and regrets it almost instantly.
“Don’t,” Sander quickly says, putting his foot inside the door. “Please.”
He’s standing on Lucas’s doorstep in the dark, shivering in his leather jacket. His white hair is tousled, restlessly rather than stylish, and the bags under his eyes could probably rival Lucas’s own. He looks like a ghost in the navy backdrop of the night, threadbare and flickering. The sight of him almost makes Lucas feel bad.
He shakes the feeling off and asks, “What the hell are you doing here?”
Sander shrugs. “I drove,” he says simply, as if that’s in any way what Lucas meant.
“You drove,” Lucas repeats. “Let me rephrase. Why are you here, Sander?”
Lucas supposes there’s only one possible reason, but he no longer feels sure. He doesn’t know what to expect from Sander, anymore. He isn’t even sure where they stand. Despite the messages Sander has been sending him constantly that he’s ignored, he’s been considering himself forgotten. He assumed instantly that Robbe would be more important, and he’s still fairly sure.
Sander takes a breath and gazes at him steadily. “I’m here to apologise.” Lucas opens his mouth and Sander holds up a hand. “Before you shut me down, that’s it. I’m here to apologise, nothing more, nothing less. I’m not here because I expect you to forgive me. But you deserve an apology.”
Lucas hesitates. Then he crosses his arms over his chest and nods once.
“Sorry doesn’t cut it,” Sander says. “I know that, but I could never think of anything else to say. But then I realised that, at the very least, I should have always told you the truth.” Sander takes another breath. “And the truth is that I love you, Luc.”
Lucas blinks.
Sander smiles at him. It’s small, but it isn’t sad. It’s sincere, and achingly familiar. Lucas would know exactly what it looks like without being able to see it, just from the tone of Sander’s voice. Everything about him is familiar. The crinkle of his eyes is something Lucas could picture just as easily, one shut slightly more than the other. He knows that droop is still there, without having to look, like he knows the same little scar will be.
He knows Sander off by heart, without having to see. He didn’t realise he was unaware of those words without hearing them.
“I love you,” Sander repeats, “and I really don’t want to lose you. It is the last fucking thing I’ve ever wanted.”
Lucas’s lips part. Then close again. This is not what he’d expected, but he hadn’t expected Sander at all. Not just here tonight, but ever. Sander had sailed into Lucas’s life on a Bowie record with his camera around his neck and a sparkle in him that Lucas has never witnessed in anyone else. He’s known, since seeing it for the first time, that it’s something he shouldn’t let go of easily. He knows, in the same way as he recognises everything else, that the spark is still present.
But it feels sharp and dangerous, now, instead of bright and warm. Lucas wants to shy away from the light instead of be drawn towards it.
“What about Robbe?”
Sander pauses, like he doesn’t know what Lucas means, and then realisation settles. “I haven’t lost Robbe,” Sander admits, watching Lucas’s expression. “The opposite, in fact.”
Lucas can appreciate the honesty, even though it stings. It isn’t surprising. He swallows thickly. “Guess it worked out after all, then.”
“No,” Sander denies immediately, shaking his head. “It didn’t. Not if it cost me you.”
Sander’s eyes are glimmering, and it has nothing to do with his spark. Lucas recognises the sight of tears gathering behind eyelids. It’s embarrassing, how much it pains him even now. It’s pathetic how much he wants to believe him.
“Why should I believe that?” Lucas whispers.
“Because you want to,” Sander says, equally soft. He takes a small step closer, but still doesn’t cross the threshold. His hands are shaking from nerves or the cold. “I know you do because I know you, Luc. That’s how I know how much I messed up, and that’s why I was so surprised when you told me about Jens. Because ever since I’ve known you, I’ve known you. We were always on the same wavelength. I didn’t realise how much I disrupted that, and I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself. But I can at least make sure you do.”
Lucas rubs his nose in an attempt not to sniffle, even though he could probably brush it off as the chill, too. “What?”
“You know I talked to Kes. I know you’re blaming yourself way more than you should, and I’m sorry that I caused that. I’m sorry that I pushed you back there. That’s what I’m here to apologise for.” He licks his lips, shaking his head, in another gesture that Lucas is too familiar with. “I don’t expect you to forgive me, but I can still fix things for you, even if I can’t fix us.”
“What?” Lucas repeats. “What do you mean?”
Sander steps aside, and then Jens is taking his place.
It’s only then that Lucas notices Robbe standing off to the side, as well, as Sander steps back into his arms. But it’s Jens that comes out of nowhere and makes himself the center of Lucas’s focus. He looks exactly the same as Lucas remembers, but Lucas isn’t sure what else he expected. Jens is as stunning as usual, just tired. There are shadows cast over his face, under his eyes and in the downturn of his lips, but it doesn’t change him. The difference, Lucas thinks, is that the last time he’d seen him, Jens was furious. Made up of jagged edges and barbed-wire words. The Jens in front of him now is the familiar version, too, the one that’s all sharpened soft lines and warmth, exuding calm despite the layer of nerves laced underneath.
The Jens in front of him now is in front of him. He’s here, with Lucas. He’s here, in Utrecht.
He’s smiling.
Lucas stares and barely manages to say, “What the fuck?”
Jens’s smile twitches, but in the direction of more-amused rather than less. He sweeps his gaze over Lucas. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen you look like shit.”
Lucas resists the urge to look down at himself. He knows he looks a mess. The sleeves of his hoodie are fraying and his sweatpants are too big, but they’re the most comfortable clothing he owns. He probably looks more tired than Jens, or at least less put together. His hair hasn’t been touched in days and very possibly resembles something nest-like.
He watches as Jens sweeps his gaze over him again, lingering on all the features of his face and softening. “But you still don’t, really,” Jens sighs.
Lucas isn’t sure what to say to that, or if he should say anything at all. He isn’t sure of anything at the moment, but he definitely can’t figure out why Jens is here.
“I’m sorry,” they say simultaneously.
It surprises Lucas. He opens his mouth to continue, to immediately deny, but Jens holds up a hand.
“Please, this time, let me,” Jens requests, and it’s so gentle that Lucas can only shut up and stare. “You don’t have to do any more explaining. I know I was wrong, or at least too hard on you.” Jens blows out a breath, smiling crookedly. “I think I was an asshole, actually.”
Lucas shakes his head. “You had every right to say what you did. I probably deserved worse.”
“You don’t,” Jens insists. Lucas’s heart stops when Jens also takes his hands. Jens himself seems surprised at the gesture, looking down at where they touch. He rubs his thumbs over Lucas’s knuckles while gathering more words, then looks up again. “I’m not going to apologise for being hurt. But I will for not believing you.”
“But...you were right. The whole time, I—“
“Was more honest with me than most people have ever been,” Jens cuts him off.
Lucas can only blink, helplessly hopeful.
“I know,” Jens starts. Pauses. Tries again. “I know that even if there was this one lie, or secret, or whatever you want to call it, that what we have—that was real. It is real. And I’m sorry, for being an asshole and ever suggesting otherwise.”
“Jens,” Lucas whispers. Then he can’t think of anything else.
“I know,” Jens reiterates gently. He steps closer, like Sander, and also doesn’t cross the threshold. But he comes close, toes brushing the line. Close enough that he can lean his forehead against Lucas’s while squeezing his hands. “I don’t need you to explain, or say sorry, or do anything else. I know, Lucas.”
Lucas lets out a breath, and finally lets something go. He’s been holding it for over a month, and with the weight and pressure gone, he almost feels like he’s floating. Jens’s hands are the only thing keeping him tethered.
This time, he thinks to ask.
“Does this mean I can kiss you again?”
Jens’s grin is blindingly beautiful, and he leans into Lucas without another word of explanation needed between them. It’s enough to let their lips meet and reassure each other that they know. This kiss is both softer and surer than their first, and comes as even more of a relief. Instead of floating, Lucas sinks, melting into Jens to the point he’s sure they’ll dissolve into one.
Even then, they press closer still. Jens slides his hands around Lucas’s waist and draws him into his chest, tucking them together in a tight embrace. Lucas buries his head in Jens’s neck and clutches on just as tightly, breathing Jens in and letting himself be swayed slightly.
He soaks up as much surety as he needs, and then he pulls back. Jens lets him go without question, still knowing, stepping out of the way to let Lucas come out into the night and extend his arms further.
There’s no hesitation in either of them as Lucas pulls Sander into a hug and holds on for dear life. Sander reciprocates with just as much force, almost crushing Lucas to his chest as he lets out a choked laugh of pure relief. Lucas squeezes him as tightly as he can, meeting Robbe’s glistening smile over Sander’s shoulder and feeling his own eyes water.
“I love you, too,” he breathes. “I’m sorry, too.”
Sander sniffs, and this time Lucas laughs, but keeps holding on and letting them both hide their tears. “Okay. No need to get all sappy about it,” Sander mumbles.
Lucas simply squeezes him tighter. There’s nothing he knows better than this.
“I don’t know what you did,” he tells Sander. “But thank you.”
“Don’t,” Sander dismisses. “You know I’d do anything for you, Luc.”
“If I’m being totally honest,” Jens pipes up from their side. “This utterly disgusting display of emotions would’ve probably worked better on Robbe and I the whole time. You guys were shit boyfriends.”
Lucas and Sander both laugh, and then Lucas extends an arm out and pulls Jens into their hug. Jens stumbles in surprise, but attaches himself to Lucas without fuss and draws Robbe along with him. Once they’ve created a bigger bubble, Lucas presses a kiss to Jens’s cheek and aims for a reassuring tone. “I promise we’re much better at it in the right circumstances.”
Robbe immediately hums in agreement. Lucas can’t even see him, smothered between Sander and Jens across from himself, but he feels the movement of Sander’s body as Robbe hugs him closer. “I believe that.”
“I might need a little convincing,” Jens says, snippy. Lucas scoffs and pinches his side. Jens flinches away with a yelp. “See, mine is faulty,” he complains.
Lucas removes himself from the huddle and blinks. “Yours?”
Jens turns with him, keeping a hand knotted in Lucas’s hoodie, and simply raises his brows. His nerves are betrayed when tries to reinforce his statement by making a joke. “The whole world-wide-web already seems to think so,” he says lightly.
It only has the effect of making Lucas’s face fall.
“Don’t,” Jens says, stepping closer to him again and cupping his cheek. “Sorry, that was stupid. I’m not mad.”
“But are you okay?” Lucas asks carefully.
Jens considers this, then shrugs. He presses a kiss to Lucas’s forehead, then keeps his lips there, brushing over the skin as he speaks. “Depends,” he settles on, carding a hand through Lucas’s hair. “Are they right?”
By way of answer, Lucas leans up and kisses him again.
Jens accepts it for a moment, then pulls away and bumps his freezing nose against Lucas’s. “A good boyfriend would probably invite their partner inside before they freeze their balls off.”
Lucas snorts, but immediately steps back through the door and pulls Jens with him, beckoning Sander and Robbe in after them and finally enclosing them in heat.
“Wait,” Sander says. “Where’s your mom?”
“Listening to everything in the sitting room,” Lucas nods his head. When Sander and Jens both freeze, wide-eyed, he lets out a laugh. “No, she’s staying at her sister’s like she does every weekend.”
Robbe shoots him an amused look as Sander and Jens both relax. Lucas looks between the three of them. “Did you even bring anything with you? Any of you?”
They all look at each other, and then Robbe says, “Uhh.”
Lucas closes his eyes and takes a breath, but he can’t wipe the smile off his face. “I can’t believe any of you.”
“Yes you can,” Sander dismisses. “And you love it. And we love you.”
Lucas flushes, and Robbe smiles at him and winds his arms around Sander’s shoulders, pressing a soothing kiss to his cheek. “Okay, I think you’ve made your point, hm? How about we get out of their way, now?”
“You can stay where you always do,” Lucas tells Sander. “Mom always has it ready for you, I think.”
Sander turns soft and gooey again, and wraps Lucas in another tight hug. “Thank you.”
“It’s okay,” Lucas assures, rubbing his back. “I was getting tired of being pissed, anyway.”
Sander snorts. “Lucky me.”
Lucas hums and then pushes him back towards Robbe. He lets his lips twitch up in a smile and raises his brows. “You‘ll have to share the bed, though, so I hope that’s okay.”
Robbe blushes slightly, but nods at Sander’s curious look.
Jens snorts. “Yeah, as if Robbe was going to complain.”
Robbe reaches up and smacks Jens’s cheek lightly, and Sander tucks him into his side before a full scuffle can ensue. With another thanks, Sander begins guiding Robbe away, and is only stopped by Jens saying, “Hey.” They both turn back to him, Sander curious and Robbe expectant.
Jens holds his hand out to Sander. After only a few seconds of hesitation, Sander takes it in his own and responds to Jens’s squeeze. “Thanks. For being a good friend to us, too.”
Sander’s lips curl in a smile, and he nods. Lucas watches the exchange with an overwhelming feeling of relief.
Then Sander and Robbe go, giggling on their way up Lucas’s stairs, and Lucas is left with Jens. Some of the panic returns. He does his best to stamp it down, swallowing before turning to Jens.
Jens smiles at him. “Hi,” he says quietly.
“Hey,” Lucas returns. “Are you hungry, or anything?”
Jens shakes his head, coming closer slowly, drawing Lucas into him with a little more hesitance than before. Lucas leans into him and kisses his neck in an attempt to soothe the worries away, relishing in the fact that he can, that he has Jens here and is finally allowed to act how he wants. That Jens is allowing him.
“I just wanna be with you,” Jens admits. “Can we talk about everything else tomorrow?”
Lucas swallows. “Okay,” he whispers. “Do you want to—I mean, I can sleep in my mom’s room and you—“
“Lucas,” Jens cuts him off, huffing slightly. “I just want to be with you. If that’s okay.”
“Well, you guys showed up ridiculously late, so it’d be pretty mean of me to send you away.”
“That’s true.”
“Was that the plan?”
“Maybe. Maybe we just couldn’t wait any more.” Jens kisses his nose. “Besides, you were never going to turn us away. You missed me, too. Can’t deny it, I have all your messages.”
“I can still kick you out if—“
Jens shuts him up with another kiss. Lucas doesn’t want to argue anymore, anyway, because they both know Jens is right.

Ur right about Gangjae being this disgusting, horrible thing before the sa incident. He’s clearly done similar things before, reclaiming power through dominating others in the worst of ways. But it leaves me wondering if this is how he’s always been? Was young Gangjae, nothing more than a gangly teen out here killing the neighbourhood cats? Or was he the one nursing them back to health after the boys next door set harmful animal traps? Was Gangjae always this offputting cocky figure doused in layers of dirt and sweat? Or was he far too pretty and eager and everything mujin and donghoon swore not to sway them in their decision? An odd boy vibrating with energy, begging taeju to teach him how to fight. And he’s shit at first, falls on his ass too many times to count, but he gets up after each fall. Battered and bruised and still too pretty, and the rest of the gang is amused, so they let him stay. He’s a bit of a glorified errand boy, but he trains at night (much like jiwoo) and taeju joins him when the moon is out (much like mujin) and he gets good, real good. He’s the best, and he’s gonna be somebody. And then this girl, handpicked by mujin, enters and he isn’t anybody at all.
Oh goodness. I love this version of Gangjae. The one that was headed down the right road. Or a better one than he was on anyways. With people he trusts, people who can teach him, people who can tell him what to be and how to get there.
I believe Gangjae was like any other kid at one point. He was small, and kind, and hopeful, and a dreamer, and I think he wanted to be good. I think everyone wants to be good. They want to have people look at them with respect, and kindness returned. But then I think somewhere along the line something shifts, and certain people realize that they prefer the respect of fear instead of kindness. They prefer the kind of power they can hold over someone else with threats and violence instead of love and a good heart.
So I think in the beginning he was eager enough to fit in, to receive Mujin, and Donghoon, and Taeju’s praise. To be adored by his hyungs in the organization. He just wanted to be like them. But he had different goals than any of them. They may have all been criminals, but they operated on some basic code of ethics. And I get the feeling that Gangjae didn’t quite understand that philosophy. He didn’t know what he signed up for. He just saw them hanging out on the streets, and drinking, and being tough, and he thought that’s all there was to it. A fucking cool life that he desperately wanted to be part of. And it was probably fun at first, but it was never about the organization for him. He just wanted glory and he was smart enough to know the easiest way to get that was through fear instead of kindness.
Gangjae learned at an early age what his sweet face and eagerness earned him. He learned at an early age he could get people to trust him, and do what he wanted if he smiled bright enough. If he extended a hand in kindness with soft eyes and a happy disposition. He learned at an early age that a happy disposition earned him a lot, but I don’t believe his intentions were ever good. He probably learned early on that he didn’t want to be good, he just wanted the benefits of making people think he was good.
Gangjae might be the best representation of “nature vs. nurture.” Was Gangjae born bad, or did something turn him bad? He was still very young when he begged to join Dongcheon. Still in high school, with that backpack, and a head full of dreams of being cool. And that was his driving force until the day he died. He just wanted to live a cool life. And I think that’s where he went wrong. That’s where he was always wrong. He had no conviction. He was wild and reckless and greedy and while he may have had simple desires and even a good heart at one point, you can’t sustain a life of conviction on the need to be cool. And when Jiwoo came along, and Mujin started paying more attention to her than to him, he realized he wasn’t cool, this wasn’t cool, this wasn’t what he signed up for, he was suddenly a nobody and there’s nothing cool about being a nobody.

#9 【Carbon in the Steel】
cql au: everyone is an orphan except wwx; dark!twin jades
The Brothers Lan 
There was once a little house, on the outskirts of a farming village beyond the tiered rice fields south of Meishan, far, far away from Cloud Recesses. Both Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji remembered that house. It was the house Father had built for Mother, and it was there that they were born. 
It sat at the base of a hill where many tall bamboo trees grew, and in the garden, there had been gentians, indigo and violet, that bloomed beautifully every summer. 
Lan Xichen would dream sometimes of that house and of the wonderful days in those early years. 
Father, look! 
Excellent form, A-Huan. Very good. Much improved. Now, remember to keep your balance on your front… 
These days he could no longer recall Father’s face. His voice though, Lan Xichen still remembered as clear as a bell. On the other hand, his brother Wangji did not remember much of Father at all; instead, it was Mother’s smile that he could never forget. 
Mother, can A-Zhan and I stay with you and Father tonight? 
P’ease, Mo’her. 
Lan Xichen remembered hugging his baby brother like a doll and strategically weakening his parents’ resolve using his baby pout and big puppy eyes. A-Zhan was always a trooper, so cooperative, so excellent at looking like a perfect toddler.  Stoic though. So stoic for a baby. What a weird kid. 
We had a bad dream. 
Bad dweam.  
Those were obviously lies. They never had bad dreams then; those would come much later, when their reality became worse than any nightmare they could ever imagine.
Jiujiu never needed to tell them that Mother and Father were dead, or what death was. They’d seen plenty of creatures die: the village’s cattle they butchered for the new year, the spinster's kittens that didn’t survive the winter, and the pheasants they caught and roasted for A-Zhan’s birthday. 
Father had been a lifelong vegetarian, so eating meat didn’t agree with his stomach, but he never enforced such rules on his sons. In fact Father didn’t enforce any rules on his sons, except to show kindness where they could and to be true to their hearts.  
Father probably didn’t anticipate just how difficult it was to be kind when the world had been so wholly unkind. Nor did he anticipate that he would die in such a violent and sudden manner without even so much as a goodbye.
I don’t remember what were the last words Father said to me. Wangji would confess to Xichen one day. I don’t even remember what Father looked like. 
They were by the marsh catching lobsters with jiujiu when it happened. Mother suddenly appeared and spoke words that were foreign and frightening - Gusu Lan, cultivators, siege, pursuit, escape. Go. Now. She didn’t hug them or kiss them. Lan Xichen remembered Wangji reaching up towards her to be picked up and the confusion and heartbreak in his eyes when she pushed him back into jiujiu’s waiting arms.   
A-niang...
At a certain point, jiujiu must’ve done something to them, because neither Wangji nor himself remember any part of their journey out of that village. When they woke up, they were somewhere high up and deep in the mountains. His little brother had looked at him and he had stared back and they both knew then that their parents were dead. Curled in their jiujiu’s arms, they cried themselves into another fitful sleep, and all the while, jiujiu didn’t wake up once, too exhausted by the endless days of travel. 
To them, jiujiu - like all adults - was old, but it was not until they grew up that they realized that Zhao Zhuliu at the time of their parents’ demise had been no more than twenty years old, barely more than a boy himself.  
~
Life with jiujiu was quiet, but after some time, they were able to find a sliver of happiness. 
Zhao Zhuliu was a quiet man, always had been, and that didn’t change just because he now had two young children on his hands. But he loved them, his sister’s only blood left on this earth; by god, he loved them beyond reason. 
Jiujiu was not a talker, but he was never distant, and though he was strict in his training of their cultivation and their swordsmanship, he was never harsh. So yes, life was quiet, but at least for a while there was a roof over their heads and food in their belly, and they never had to wonder where they would be tomorrow…
When jiujiu failed to return from his night-hunt, Lan Xichen knew that something had gone terribly wrong. 
Lan Xichen was the older one; he was thirteen. Practically an adult, he told himself. If jiujiu never came back, then he was just going to have to take care of Wangji. 
Whatever it takes. 
His brother was not a needy child, but when he turned eleven, he seemed to have found his appetite and ate everything Xichen could get his hands on. Fishing was the easiest and hunting a big game lasted them a while if he could preserve it just right, but even if he collected berries in the mountains and wild herbs in the forest, he still needed grains, still needed new clothes for the winter, and still needed oil to light a lamp at night so Wangji could continue to practice his calligraphy. 
He did try; you must know. Lan Xichen did try to do things the right way, but there was only so much money he could earn by book-keeping at a shop, or running errands for merchants, or even waiting tables at an inn. He was a child, and desperate, and nobody would pay him a dime if they could get away with a nickel. 
It didn’t take long for Xichen to learn that the fastest way of earning money was often the most unsavoury and that he wasn’t above reaching for those means. There were no lengths Lan Xichen wouldn’t go to keep his brother safe and happy, no asset within his arsenal of skills and attributes that he wouldn’t hone and weaponize to make himself stronger. He got good at stealing, got great at cheating, and grew accustomed  to killing. Every so often...if there were other offers available, well...Wangji would never need to know. 
Morals do not matter if Wangji went hungry. I can’t let Wangji go hungry.
And, once a year, Lan Xichen would buy a box of osmanthus pastry, like the kind Mother used to make for them - flakey and fragrant, rich but not overwhelming - and he and Wangji would sit together under the stars and finish the box all in one go. 
“Happy birthday, didi.” 
Chewing slowly on the osmanthus pastry, Wangji would smile, and it would all be worth it. 
“Thank you, xiongzhang.” 
~
Then, three years after jiujiu was taken, a startling news broke out over the lands. 
After years of internal strife, the dirty politics of Lanling Jin finally fractured the once glorious reigning sect. Jin Guangshan’s many children and their scheming “little mothers” formed factions and allied themselves with subsidiary sects all vying for control over Lanling’s seat of power. (小娘 xiao’niang = little mother, what one calls one’s mother if one’s mother is not the legal wife. The “real” mother of any children would always be the legal wife, while their birth mothers are ‘little mothers’.)
The details of Jin Guangshan’s demise was not entirely clear, but eventually it was his third son Jin Zitao who became the new Sect Master Jin. Being only eleven years old, it was clear to anyone who had eyes that he was a puppet, completely controlled by the whims of his regent mother, Jin Guangshan’s once favourite concubine, and the ancient respected Qin family who had promised their daughter Qin Su to be his bride once they both come of age. 
People had praised Qin Su’s stepmother, Sect Master Qin’s second wife, for securing such an advantageous marriage for a daughter not even of her own blood, stating that with the Dowager Madame Jin’s clever mind and Sect Master Qin’s seniority and experience, surely the murky pond of Lanling would become peaceful once again. 
The bigger question now was with three of the five major sects being led by minors - Qishan’s 14 year-old Wen Yuefan, Yunmeng’s 13 year-old Jiang Wanyin, and Lanling’s 11 year-old Jin Zitao - who then would become the next Chief Cultivator. Qinghe Nie seemed the most obvious choice at first glance, for they were the fiercest warriors, but given Sect Master Nie Heqiu’s most recent close encounter with yet another qi deviation, it seemed perhaps the real day-to-day leadership role was fulfilled by his first son Nie Mingjue. At seventeen years of age, he was certainly older than his contemporaries, but still a far cry from what was required to be His Excellency.  (温越凡 Wen Yuefan = Wen Qing’s courtesy name) 
Naturally, all eyes were drawn then towards Cloud Recesses, whose previous chance at obtaining the seat of Chief Cultivator had been dashed when its sect master at that time, Qingheng-jun, mysteriously vanished more than a decade ago. Now it seemed that Gusu Lan’s fortune was about to change yet again, when what once should have gone to Lan Cenrong now fell to his younger brother Lan Qiren. 
News of his rise to power had spread far and wide, until every man, woman, and child knew his name. Until Lan Xichen heard from a gossiping bar-keep at a tavern. Until Lan Wangji heard from the children playing on the street. 
One morning Lan Xichen returned to their temporary home to see Wangji sitting in front of the breakfast he’d prepared (when did he learn to cook???) and a purse on the table filled with silver coins and small gold nuggets.
“Wangji...where did you -” 
“I don’t want you to go out at night again, xiongzhang,” said Lan Wangji bluntly. 
Taken aback by Wangji’s tone and his implications, Xichen quickly gathered his wits and tried to maintain control of the conversation. “That doesn’t answer my question; where did you get the money?” 
“I also went out last night, after you assumed I fell asleep and left.”  
Xichen’s blood went cold. “You...went out? Out? In the middle of the night?! To do what?!” 
Lan Wangji’s stoicism did not waver. “What one usually does to get paid at night. What you’ve been doing for years.” 
In three long strides, Lan Xichen strode up to his little brother - his baby brother - and yanked him up by the collar. Grabbing his arms with both hands, he forced Wangji to look him in the eye as he exclaimed in a mad panic, “You didn’t! Tell me you didn’t!!” 
God, Wangji, what have you done, what have you done - how could I let this happen - I should’ve done better - 
Wangji did not blink, but after a long terrible silence, he said, “No. I didn’t. I just followed you. I saw.” 
“You saw…” 
There had been a man who eyed him with interest. Lan Xichen wasn’t looking for business - hadn’t been looking for months - but winter was coming and Wangji was growing so much he would need several new sets of robes. Xichen hadn’t been working as many hours as he’d been previously. He needed to train, to cultivate - they both did - so that one day they could do what needed to be done. The core melting technique was not to be trifled with lightly, jiujiu had warned them. They needed time to practice, to perfect it, time that couldn’t be used to earn income. 
While yes he could steal and yes he could kill, Lan Xichen realized early on that those two options often caught the attention of local authorities or worse the local cultivation sect, especially if his activities were too frequent or too conspicuous. Sometimes it was just easier… 
“The money, then?” 
“Don’t you recognize the purse?” 
Xichen turned around. He did. He did recognize that silk embroidered draw-string purse. It belonged to the man from last night. He had taken money out of it this morning to pay Xichen for his time.  
And when they parted ways, Xichen had gone to a public bath house to get rid of any incriminating evidence on his body before going home to his brother. That was his routine... had been his routine for years… 
“I shoved his body down a well. That should buy us enough time to get out of this town. You weren’t planning for us to stay that long anyway right?” 
“Wangji…Wangji -” Lan Xichen turned away. He couldn’t face his brother, who now knew what he knew. 
“Xiongzhang, don’t do this for me anymore.” Lan Wangji’s hand found his own, squeezing it tightly. 
“It’s - it’s really not a big deal.” Lan Xichen tried to laugh it off. “I don’t do it that often. Really - I am your older brother, it is my duty to -” 
“No. No more. From now on, if you go out, I go out. I’m old enough -” 
“You’re thirteen, a child!” 
“So were you.” 
Lan Xichen closed his eyes. 
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.” 
“I know I’m done waiting.” 
Lan Wangji was talking, of course, about their vengeance. It was what they spoke of on most nights when they couldn’t sleep. For mother and father and jiujiu, they swore they would not rest until they razed Cloud Recesses to the ground and burned the core out of every last one of their disciples before slitting their throats.  
Wangji came around to face him again and stared him down with his brows furrowed tightly above bright determined eyes. “It’s not fair. The Chief Cultivator was supposed to be Father! The heir of Gusu Lan is supposed to be you! Instead - instead...”
Tears welled up in his little brother’s eyes. “They hurt you, ge, I saw. I saw.” 
Choking with shame, anger and a pain he couldn’t describe, Lan Xichen pulled Lan Wangji into a crushing hug. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry Wangji. I’m sorry I couldn’t do better. I’m...” Words failed. As Lan Wangji cried into his chest, Lan Xichen looked up to their leaky roof and their bare, striped walls, and wondered what the ethereal Cloud Recesses would look like. All that should have been theirs, should’ve been his, belonged to someone else. 
Lan Qiren is Chief Cultivator now. He’s still holding jiujiu captive. He needs to die. The people who killed Father and Mother; they all need to die. 
“You’re right, Wangji, you’re right. No more.”
“So you won’t leave at night anymore?” 
“I won’t. The world has taken everything from us, I think it’s time we take what we are owed. Once we are strong, we will save jiujiu and avenge A-die and A-niang.” 
“And if people try to stop us?” 
“Then we will destroy them and anyone else that gets in our way.”

Cupid’s Kiss
Took me way longer than expected curse the whims of my mental health but the winner of this month’s 3k fic poll is finally here!
In which Carmen and Julia have a lovely totally not date in Paris while in search for two thieves who are certainly also not having a date
if you’d like a chance to get your fic ideas written by me, or just want to support me, you can feel free to donate to my ko-fi (rules over here)
and here is the ao3 link if you’d rather read it over there
also this fic was brought to you thanks to the help of @cantdrawshaw
NOW ON WITH THE FIC
Carmen Sandiego was the best at her job. She had bested trained assassins and killer robots, evaded the world’s most advanced detective agency, and destroyed the largest criminal organization. All in her early twenties.
Yet there was one task she was not prepared to face. One that escaped her skills, both martial and technical. One that she had failed to plan around. One that existed entirely beyond the range of her skills. A foe that she could not beat.
“Come on, Carm,” Zack called, “it can’t be that hard. If even Ivy could score with the girls, you can do it too.”
“Even Ivy?!” His sister replied, furious, “I’ve been with more girls than you, jackass.”
“Guys, guys!” Carmen interrupted, “you’re not helping.”
Mentioning her interest in spending more time with Julia Argent had been the biggest mistake she had made in weeks. This was supposed to be a peaceful day at their old home base, but now here she was.
Her friends were trying so hard to help her and she couldn’t even be mad at how poorly they were doing, because she knew she wouldn’t fare much better were the roles reversed.
“Sorry,” the siblings replied in unison.
“I appreciate the support,” she assured them, “but I’m not trying to ‘score’ with anyone. I just wanna get to know Jules a little better.”
“So this is not a date?” Ivy asked.
“No!” She replied, a little too quickly, “me and Jules aren’t like that. She’s more of a… professional acquaintance. A coworker.”
“Carm,” Zack replied, “we’re coworkers and you’ve never had a bouquet of roses delivered to my door.”
“It was just a thank you for handling all those precious artifacts for me,” she explained, “she’s a hard worker, she deserved it.”
“Sure,” Ivy nodded, unconvinced, “is that why you take time to chat over coffee with her every other caper?”
“Not every moment of our lives has to be a chase, you know?” she countered.
“Or why you keep finding excuses to dance with her?”
“It’s the easiest way to speak privately at those parties without garnering unwanted attention,” she recited as if from a textbook.
“Or why-”
“Cease this!” Shadowsan’s stern voice commanded and the siblings fell silent, “VILE has trained her to never cave under interrogation. You’ll have a better chance extracting information from a rock.”
Carmen smirked at them, proud to have her skills of deflection recognized.
“Do not be so full of yourself,” he added, making Carmen flinch just a bit, “I have taught those lessons for years and I know how to see through them.”
“I don’t know what you mean,” she deflected, looking away.
He walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder with uncharacteristic gentleness.
“I have seen the happiness Miss Argent brings you,” he said, “and I wish you the best of luck should you wish to pursue it.”
That meant a lot to Carmen. More than she could really express in words. But after she had been so thoroughly embarrassed by her friends, all she could really say was,
“Not you too.”
She looked up at the smirking siblings and braced herself...
“Hey, Red,” Player’s voice called, just in the nick of time.
“Player!” She jumped to attention and grabbed the laptop from their desk.
“Woah!” he exclaimed, “everything okay, Red?”
Zack and Ivy snickered as they sat by each side of her, so they could see Player.
“I think Carm would rather you sent her on a crazy chase instead of sitting here talking about her crush on Jules,” Ivy teased.
“Well it looks like you might get to do both,” Player replied, to Carmen’s dismay, “look who our cameras just found walking around Paris.”
The screen cut to a video feed of one of ACME’s hidden cameras over the streets of Paris. None of the people on camera seemed particularly conspicuous… until a particular pair walked on screen. Even without their costumes Carmen could always recognize them.
“Tigress and Paper Star,” she noted, “those two can’t be up to any good.”
“Looks like we’ll be going to Paris, eh Carm?” Ivy commented as she playfully nudged her side.
“City of love,” Zack added as he joined the nudging.
Carmen groaned. This was gonna be a rough mission.
Chase had grown a lot over the past few months. His deductive reasoning had vastly improved, his mood was far more amenable, and he actually stopped to listen to Julia nowadays. What hadn’t really improved with time was his overall clumsiness. 
“Miss Argent, I’ll be fine,” his insistence was interrupted by a powerful sneeze, “This is nothing.”
“Agent Devineaux, please,” she pleaded, “you’re in no state to continue this investigation.”
Devineaux had landed himself into his fair share of rivers over the months he had worked for ACME, and it seemed that so many cold baths had finally caught up to his health. Not that he would ever admit to that.
“Nonsense,” he claimed, “I’ll be back in perfect shape by the time we land in Paris.”
The sneeze that followed said otherwise.
“Chase, please,” she asked again, “rest. I can handle this.”
“I refuse to send my partner on a mission by herself.”
“As sweet as your concern is,” she countered, “I doubt I’ll be by myself for long.”
“Ah yes, I’m sure La Femme Rouge will make for good company,” he agreed and she was glad he did, but it sounded like there was more to his words. “Were you anyone else I’d worry this was all a ploy to have some private time with Miss Sandiego.”
She shot him an unamused glare.
“Apologies,” he said almost immediately.
“Accepted,” she sighed, “but I do not appreciate any insinuations as to the nature of me and Miss Sandiego’s relationship. We’re good friends, nothing more.”
“Of course,” he nodded, but Julia could tell he had more to say.
Truly his detective skills have improved considerably as of late. It had become harder and harder for Julia to pass her excitement for those missions as simple passion for her work. Not when she had abandoned that work as soon as it conflicted with her passion for… something else.
Chase was her friend and she knew he’d understand her feelings for Carmen. She was also sure he’d do his best to keep it a secret until she was confident enough to bring these things to light. She trusted him and she didn’t fear anything of the sorts.
What she did fear was Chase trying to wingman for her. Just the thought was enough to fill her with dread. Enough dread to keep her mouth shut about her feelings in the vicinity of Agent Devineaux. Even if it felt bad to hide this from her friend.
Thankfully the Chief chose that exact moment to call her to give her updated information on their targets. 
Now she could just shut off all these awkward feelings and focus on her work.
The Louvre had been an obvious target. The world’s most famous museum, home to thousands of priceless works of art, including the Mona Lisa itself. It was so obvious in fact that VILE had never bothered to consider it.
But VILE was gone now and its escaped students no longer had any faculty to dissuade them from this target.
That’s why Carmen now walked its halls, diligently searching for any security flaws that could be exploited and any sign of the two master thieves on the loose.
She still took time to appreciate the art of course. This was the most famous museum in the world for a reason and she wasn’t gonna let this unique opportunity escape her, even with the evil duo to watch for.
Carmen had her attention split in every possible direction, her mind juggling its many tasks as she wandered hall after hall. Until, that is, she found something that pulled her focus into one singular point.
A shorter woman in a nice fitted suit, standing before one of the statues.
“Jules,” she greeted as she walked up behind her.
“Miss Sandiego,” Julia smiled as she greeted her, utterly unsurprised. She must have been expecting her, “it’s nice to see you here.”
“It’s nice seeing you too,” she replied, “and we went over this before, Carmen is just fine.”
“Carmen,” she said, in a way that warmed Carmen’s heart, “I take it you’ve been enjoying your time in Paris.”
“Hard to go sightseeing while I’ve got work to do, but I’m making do,” she shrugged, “how about you? What caught your attention today?”
Julia turned back to the statue she had been appreciating until then, “Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss.”
Carmen smirked, it was her time to shine.
“Sculpted by Antonio Canova, commissioned by welsh art-collector John Campbell in 1787,” she recited from memory, “its prime version was acquired by the Louvre in 1824 after the death of its previous owner, Joachim Murat.”
“Very impressive,” Julia praised, “I wish my students put half as much time as you do into their research.”
“I’m just good at memorizing trivia,” Carmen shrugged, trying to hide her pride at earning that praise, “I’m sure you know so much more than me on the subject.”
Boy was Carmen right about that. That seemed to have been the cue to send Julia into a long lecture about the neoclassical and romantic periods, as well as an analysis of the sculpture’s mythological origins and the many interpretations of the myth.
Many people would probably find this amount of information unspeakably tedious. But for Carmen, who was always hungry to learn about the world around her (and could never get tired of Jules speaking so enthusiastically,) it was exciting and endearing.
Carmen had realized then that she wanted nothing more than to spend her every waking hour listening to Julia talk on and on about anything she wanted, as long as it was passionate like this. Maybe someday soon.
Right now they had the whole rest of the Louvre to scout.
“Alright, alright, victory is yours,” Carmen playfully interrupted, “I guess you really are the biggest history nerd here.”
“Oh I’m sorry, it seems I got a bit carried away,” Julia cringed in shame. Damn it Sandiego! “I didn’t mean to bore you.”
“You couldn’t bore me if you tried,” Carmen assured her as she placed a hand on her arm, “I mean it. It’s nice hearing you talk.”
“Unfortunately I no longer teach,” she replied, “otherwise I would have given you an open invitation to any of my classes.”
“Well, how about you show me around the place?” she suggested, “we can call this a private lesson.”
At that Julia smiled again, “then I hope your memory is as good as you say it is, Carmen Sandiego, because I’ll be quizzing you at the end of the tour.”
They both laughed as Julia led them along to the next art piece in what was clearly a meticulously planned tour of the museum. Jules kept her teacher face on for all of her little lectures, but as they walked from room to room it felt so simple and casual.
For once Carmen felt like there was no rush and that she could just enjoy her time with someone she cared about. Maybe that was the moment. Her chance to make something out of this and let Julia know how she felt.
“Hey, Jules,” she called, walking a little closer to her.
“Yes?” Julia turned to look at her, she seemed surprised by the sudden closeness, but did not move away from her.
Carmen decided to take that as a good sign.
“This has been really nice, you know?” she tried, her usual confidence failing her, “just spending time with you like this.”
“I guess it was,” she replied with- Wait, was that a blush? No, that had to be wishful thinking.
“Yeah,” she agreed, awkwardly scratching the back of her neck, “and I just feel like-”
It was then that she was rudely reminded of what she was here to do.
“-you have got to be kidding me!”
“What?” Julia jumped a little in surprise.
“5 o’clock, behind you,” Carmen instructed.
She turned to look and there they were. Tall, blonde and scheming, and short, monochromatic and homicidal. The two thieves they were here to catch. Two thieves that had also noticed them.
They both smirked at them for a moment, before Paper Star whispered something into Tigress’s ear and they both bolted in separate directions.
“I go for Tigress, you go for Paper Star,” Carmen ordered as she bolted after her target.
Tigress was the fastest of the two, and the one most likely to pull dirty tricks on them. Unfortunately for her, Carmen was well-versed in all of those tricks, and of course had all her equipment on her. It’s amazing how much she could hide in just a red hoodie.
Soon Tigress had led the both of them out of the main building, ready to make a run for it and disappear into the city. Her mistake though, was going somewhere Carmen could use her grappling hook without worrying about damaging priceless works of art.
She swung after her, quickly closing the distance and knocking her down with a kick to the stomach. Tigress groaned as she forced herself back up, but instead of running again or getting ready to fight Carmen, she simply shouted.
“Come on!”
“Done running around?” Carmen taunted.
“Yeah yeah whatever,” she replied. Well that was unusual, “did you girlfriend catch Paper Star already?”
“What!?” She nearly jumped in surprise, “She’s not- we’re not- that doesn’t matter! You’re going to jail, for good this time.”
“For what?” she replied.
“Trying to steal from the Louvre!”
“Ah yes, because that’s the only reason we’d be enjoying some time together in the city of love,” she mocked and rolled her eyes.
Was she implying what she thought she was implying?
“Aww, babe,” a voice above them called. Paper Star leaned out of a nearby window and openly teased her partner in crime.
Babe?
“She caught you already?” she continued
Tigress groaned again, “not my fault you got easy mode.”
Paper Star jumped down and casually hooked her arms around Tigress’s neck.
“Well I’ve won,” she declared, “now where’s my prize?”
The last thing Carmen expected was for the two of them to kiss right there in front of her, and yet that was exactly what they did.
“I did not need to see that!” She complained.
“You were the one who interrupted our date!” Tigress complained back.
“Do you seriously want me to believe that you two were just spending the evening together in the Louvre as a date?”
“Was that not what you and your little agent were doing too?” Paper Star teased.
Carmen’s reflex was to say no, but… was that what they were doing? They had been walking around, sightseeing, talking and laughing and enjoying each other’s company and- oh god Carmen almost confessed to her back there. 
This was her chance to have a proper date with Jules and it got ruined right at the finish line because of a mission that didn’t even exist in the first place!
She would have time to figure all of this out later, right now she had a job to do and two smug assholes to put in their place. Thankfully she already knew just how to do that.
“You’re right, it was very rude of me to interrupt your romantic evening,” Carmen raised her hands in surrender and backed away, “how about you two get back to what you were doing and I can arrest you both tomorrow?”
“What?” Tigress challenged, “no romantic chase over the rooftops of Paris?”
“I’m sure your girlfriend would love that,” Paper Star added.
“Actually I think Julia would rather just have you behind bars,” she shrugged.
Right on cue the ACME’s blue sleep gas finally reached the both of them, making them both drop on the spot. It was kinda cute how they were put to sleep still holding each other. Carmen almost felt bad for arresting them. Almost.
She pulled her grappling hook again and launched herself through the open window above, landing right next to a very proud Julia Argent.
“Two for one,” Carmen praised, “at this rate, pretty soon you won’t be needing my help anymore.”
“I appreciate the compliment, but I had my partner down there to keep them in place,” Julia replied playfully. Carmen’s heart skipped a beat at the word ‘partner’, even though she knew she meant it as coworkers.
“Always happy to play distraction for you, Jules,” she played along.
Taking another step forward, Carmen felt her sense of balance completely leave her as she accidentally inhaled some sleep gas fumes. 
She tumbled forward, but before she hit the ground she felt Julia’s arms holding her up. It took her a second to shake away the effects of the gas, and another second to process the position they were in. How Julia was holding her like she had just dipped her in a dance.
For a moment they froze, staring into each other’s eyes as they held onto each other, until finally Julia helped her up again.
“I’m so sorry about that,” Julia apologized as she tried to fix up Carmen’s scuffed clothes.
“It’s fine,” Carmen assured her, “I should’ve been more careful around the sleep gas.”
Still Julia fussed over her, readjusting Carmen’s hoodie as she muttered a few more apologies. It took her a moment to notice just how close they were both standing now. The realization made her jump back a bit on reflex, but still she remained considerably close to Carmen.
She took a moment to collect herself before finally asking, “so uh- you had something you wanted to tell me?”
Carmen sighed in relief. Good to know those two hadn’t completely destroyed her chances.
“I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed our time together today,” she admitted, “before we got interrupted that is.”
Julia gave her a genuine smile that made her heart stop, “I enjoyed our time too. It’s nice to be able to talk about these things outside of work.”
“Yeah,” she agreed, feeling her confidence return bit by bit, “wanna do that again sometime? Maybe over some coffee.”
Jules seemed surprised at first as she caught on to what Carmen meant, but that expression was quickly replaced by a playful smile.
“Carmen Sandiego,” she called, “are you asking me out on a date?”
“Nothing escapes ACME’s best detective,” she joked, “I guess I am.”
“Then I’ll have to ask you to wait a little for my answer,” she asked.
Carmen opened her mouth to say that she was more than fine with waiting however long she needed, but she was frozen mid motion when Julia’s lips met her own. A quick, sweet little peck. 
“I want to finish our first before we plan the second.”

(未定事件簿) EVENT! 「眷然恋影」 [Tears of Themis] EVENT: Zuo Ran Birthday 2021- Days to Re-Live Forever (4.18: Volunteer Application)
*Tears of Themis Masterlist / Mobile Masterlist *Spoiler free: Translations will remain under cut *Will also be filed under Zuo Ran’s tag #Tears of a Lawyer *The tracking tag for ALL Event Stories will go under: #Tears of an Event
4.18 / 4.20 / 4.22 / 4.24 / 4.26 Messages / Investigations / Call
Location: Cinema's Lounge Area
Tumblr media
MC: …All in all, while this isn't considered a bad movie, it's also quite far from being a "Sci-fi Masterpiece".
Zuo Ran: Agreed.
Zuo Ran and I were both down at the Cinema’s Lounge, discussing the movie that we'd just finished watching.
The Stellis Film Festival had just started, and the movie that we'd sought to watch for how famous it was, was one of the most highly rated Sci-Fi movies.
But unfortunately, the content of the movie itself wasn't quite as interesting as we'd expected.
Zuo Ran: But "Time Travel" is considered one of the more classic Sci-fi themes, so it's not all that easy to come up with something new and exciting.
Hearing him say that, I suddenly remembered another movie with the exact same running theme.
Tumblr media
MC: There are also many Time Travel themed Masterpieces out there. Take the film “About Time” for example; it’s an old film dating more than ten years ago.
MC: But it’s about slice of life, so you probably never watched it.
That’s right, although this movie was labelled a work of Science Fiction, it was also undeniably something that fell into the category of warm, healing, fluffiness.
It’s a movie about the story of the male protagonist, Tim, who wanted to use his Time-travelling ability to find himself a girlfriend; and eventually winning over the heroine, Mary’s, heart.
Additionally, it also depicts Tim’s family history. Generally speaking, it was an award-winning movie that had won over the emotions of many.
I recall that Zuo Ran preferred to watch Sci-fi Films, rarely watching anything emotional. Still, I wanted to try giving him a suggestion. 
Zuo Ran: I’ve seen it before. It was pretty good.
His reply was a little unexpected.
MC: Huh? But even though the male protagonist is capable of Time Travel, there are still far fewer Sci-fi elements to this movie than there are elements of daily life.
MC: I thought that you don’t often watch these kinds of films...
Tumblr media
Zuo Ran: You’re right, but this one’s an exception.
Zuo Ran: Rather than calling it a Sci-fi movie, I think it’ll be more appropriate to call it a movie about “Superpowers”, since its main purpose is to power the plot.
Zuo Ran: Although it’s a slice of life, the director of this film has a good grasp of rhythm and mood, capable of making people feel a strong sense of empathy.
Zuo Ran: Of course, I also personally agree with the idea it is trying to convey.
Zuo Ran analysed the movie with utter seriousness, and I could see that he had an extremely deep understanding about it.
Capable of extracting that many praises from him, it seems like this movie holds an extraordinary place in his heart.
MC: Sounds like you really do like this “About Time” film.
Zuo Ran: Yes, I do.
Zuo Ran: I suppose it can be considered… Among the ones I like best.
After getting an affirmative from him, I couldn’t help but to jump for joy.
MC: (Now I know how to celebrate his birthday!)
Zuo Ran’s birthday was the 26th of April; a day that was coming up soon.
I’d only heard about this date back when I was making small talk with Sister Zhai Xing. She’d even told me to put more emphasis on it, since I was his partner.
Zuo Ran has been taking good care of me ever since I joined the Law Firm, but I’d have been way prepared to celebrate his birthday for him, even if Sister Zhai Xing didn’t mention it.
But I didn’t really know what I should do, till now; the conversation I just had with Zuo Ran finally gave me a hint.
MC: (Recreating the classic scenes of movies and celebrating his birthday there will definitely make it an unforgettable experience for the Mr. Robin, the well-known film critic! )
A plan gradually started to take shape within the confines of my mind.
Zuo Ran: What’s on your mind? Why are you daydreaming?
Tumblr media
MC: N-Nothing! I was just thinking about...
MC: My favourite movie! I was just thinking how brilliant it was that you also happen to like it!
Birthday surprises are something that’s meant to be kept secret till the very last moment, so I can’t afford to give the game away now.
Zuo Ran: It makes you that happy?
His expression appeared no different from usual, seemingly having accepted what I’d just said.
Tumblr media
MC: Yup, of course it does! Sharing the same favourite movie as you goes to show that we’re well suited to be partners!
Zuo Ran: We do coordinate well together.
MC: Let’s talk more about this film, Lawyer Zuo.
Zuo Ran: Sure.
He probably wouldn’t have any idea about just what I had planned to celebrate his birthday with.
MC: (I’m suddenly really looking forward to seeing how he’ll react to this surprise. I’m sure he’ll be way different from how he usually is!)

Location: The Film Museum
A few days later, at the Film Museum.
Staff: My apologies, miss. But the Museum's Live-action Studio is temporarily unavailable for loan for the duration of the Film Festival.
MC: I’d originally wanted to rent the Film Museum’s Live-action Studio to recreate the classic scenes of the movie “About Time” for Zuo Ran, to celebrate his birthday.
But how unfortunate...
Tumblr media
MC: But I’m really in need of it; isn’t there any other way?
Staff: If you’re truly in urgent need of the Studio. Then you can try becoming a volunteer for this Film Festival.
MC: Oh?
Staff: The Museum requires a large amount of volunteers to help out during the Film Festival, and volunteer points can be earned through completing volunteer work.
She took out a brochure, handing it to me.
Staff: Take a look at this. Volunteer points can be redeemed for the rights to use the Live-action Studio in addition to some special props provided by the Museum itself.
Staff: You must be shooting on the set itself if you’re trying to rent the Studio, so I’m sure these props will come in handy.
The staff member pointed out the “special props” listed on the brochure to me.
They came as large as classic retro cars, furniture such as tables and chairs, old-fashioned suitcases… They were all classic props from classic movies.
Tumblr media
MC: Are all these props the original ones?
I’d thought that it’d take a good lot of points to redeem rights to the Studio, but I’d never expected it to actually be the easiest to attain.
Although, that being said, most of those special props were pretty “point pricy”.
Staff: A small portion of them are, but the rest are replicated on a 1:1 scale from the original.
MC: Oh! There’s even the window display mural from “About Time”!?
Staff: That’s right. Although this one’s a replication, it is no different from the original one.
MC: (Not only can you rent the venue, but you can also change up the place to be furnished with decorations of your own choice. This can’t get any better!)
Thinking up till this point, I agreed without a moment’s hesitation.
MC: Okay, I’ll sign up! What do you do as a volunteer, though?
Staff: Welcome to the Volunteer Team. Your job this time is to simply hand out questionnaires.
Staff: As the organizer of this Film Festival, we plan to create a review column after the event; hence, why we have to collect information on the audience’s option.
Staff: The content of this survey includes, but is not limited to, their evaluation of the movies released this Film Festival, and their views on well-known film-critics, etc.
Staff: What needs to be specifically explained to them is that, due to the curator's request, this survey will take the form of an offline interview and a physical questionnaire to fill.
Staff: He believes that it is only by interacting face-to-face with the audience, can we then understand their true wishes; and that doing so will also reflect the utmost sincerity of the Museum itself.
She handed me yet another list.
Staff: The information of the willing participants of the survey are recorded here. So please carry out the surveys according to the name list here.
Staff: Your final amount of points obtained will be calculated based on the number of questionnaires you've managed to get filled, and their degree of completion.
I confidently took the list from her.
Tumblr media
MC: Understood! You can leave it to me!
Staff: Volunteer Points can be redeemed at any time. I wish you the best of luck, and hope that you can exchange it for the rights to the Live-action Studio as soon as possible.

asking your daddy nicely if you can choke him bc you also want him to feel good the same way you do
matsukawa x reader
cw choking, daddy kink
Tumblr media
it doesnt take much convincing for issei to agree with it, he’s always open to try anything especially if you were the one to bring it up. you never recommended anything or ask to try anything, it was always his job to pry it out of you so he can make you happy and feel good.
the easiest way to choke him was you being on top and riding him. it was a struggle normaly to get you stretched out for him, but it was a longer process to take his big dick in your dripping cunny.
but once you got the hang of it, issei sends you praises while rubbing his hands up and down your thigh. you bite youre lip and whine, clamping down on him hard earning you a groan from issei.
“f-fuck baby, daddy’s gonna cum. put your hands on my neck.” he takes your smaller hands and wrap the around his neck, making it oddly adorable how small your hands were compared to his neck. experimentally, you squeeze the sides gently, rolling your hips in small circles. issei shuts his eyes and lets out a breathy moan, only making you drip more arojnd his cock.
“feel good, daddy?” you mumble, watching him nod and lazily pat your thighs for you to keep going. your bouncing become more erratic, excited over the fact that issei gets to feel how you feel. you whine and whimper as ever bounce hits your cervix, creaming around him. his cock twitches at the tightening feeling, cumming into you when you sit yourself down on his cock.
you tighten your grip a little more as he cums, watching him roll his eyes back and moan out the breathiest moans. your hands leave his neck, running down his chest to rubbthe hardened muscles. hes heaving under you, taking his time to watch his breath. you feel him get soft in you but you dont want to move, only wanting to stay closer to him. you cuff his cheeks gently and kiss his face a bit while he takes his time to catch his breath.
“did i do okay? you did so good, daddy.” you praise softly, feeling his hands grab your thighs a bit as a reassurance that you did good.

3. I hope it’s everytihng you ever wanted request anon. Y’all feel free to comment your thoughts!
Tumblr media
You cursed for the nth time today when you opened your desk drawer to see that the folders you had been looking for, for over fifteen minutes weren’t there either. You sighed heavily, plopping into your computer chair and holding the intercom that connected you to your assistant. “Jimin, can you come here please?” You rushed out frustratedly.  
He came into your office not thirty seconds later with that same old attentive expression that seemed to be glued to his face. “Yes, Miss Y/L/N?” You groaned. “For the last time, call me Y/N.”
“Yes, Y/N.” He nodded quickly. “What can I do for you?” The black haired boy chirped eagerly.
“Can you find me some more folders? Hanging file, manila, tab folders, I don’t care, just bring me some please? I don’t know how I didn’t notice I ran out-” You made a sweeping motion with your hand and knocked your coffee cup off the desk in front of you and into your lap. Scalding coffee spilled onto your blouse and skirt, burning your chest and seeping into your shoes.
“Fuck!” You yelped, jumping up from your seat to avoid further spillage, making Jimin jump in the process. You close your eyes and attempt to gather yourself. You do what your therapist suggests and count down from ten to get your breathing back in order and your temper in check. You knew this day was going to be shite when you were running late for work. When the barista got your order wrong and had you sipping on disgusting coffee all day. When you stepped into a puddle on your way into the building. When you couldn’t seem to find anything in your office and it’s being proven as you look down at the brown liquid soaking into your cream blouse that today was indeed a shitty day.
“Jimin, find me a new blouse as well.” You grumbled, going to clean up the mess.
He spoke up shyly. “Uh, where should I get-”
“Just get one!” You exploded at him regretting it immediately, but he was scurrying out of the office in search of the folders and blouse before you could apologize.
You finish cleaning to the best of your ability before collapsing once more. You rested your elbows on the desk and massaged the bridge of your nose defeatedly. You didn’t need this, you thought bitterly.
You needed comfort, release, reassurance. Upon making this conclusion, you sat up and pulled out your phone to text your fiance because you decided you need to let off some steam.
“It’s been a day and I need you to take care of me. I want dinner on the table and a foot rub when I get home. Understood?” You pressed send easily, fully expecting your partner to come through with no questions or complaints. And just as you suspected, his reply was prompt.
“Yes, dear. I can’t wait to see you, my beautiful goddess.” You smiled fondly down at your phone. He always knew just how to lift your spirits. You went about the rest of your day feeling slightly better, knowing what was waiting for you when you got home.
On your way out of the office, you spotted Jimin at his desk and paused. “Hey, Jimin. I’m sorry about earlier. Today has not been the best.” You stammered softly.
His eyes widened with understanding and he rushed out sympathetically, “Oh, no, it’s okay. I get it.”
“Okay, good. I mean, thank you. Have a good day.” He wished you the same and then you were all but running to your car to get home to your fiance.
You entered the house and breathed in deeply, closing your eyes at the amazing savory smell filling the room. When you opened your eyes, you were met with the sight of Seokjin rounding the corner into the foyer in his crisp white apron that you loved so much. He wore a baby blue button up and black slacks, looking as handsome as you had ever seen him. He removed his apron and tossed it over the back of the couch before he approached you.
“Hello, dear.” He hummed with an affectionate smile and then cupped your cheek in his hand, bringing your face to his for a chaste, but amorous kiss. You returned it wholeheartedly, just happy to be home and with him again. He pulled away too quickly for your liking and you caught the neckline of his shirt, bringing him back down to you forcefully.
You capture his lips in a more wanton kiss and wrap your arms around his neck. He smiles into the kiss and even hums giddily into your mouth. Your lips moved and molded against each other sensually as Jin finally brought his hands to your waist, pulling you impossibly closer.
You suddenly reached up and tugged on his hair harshly, separating your mouths. You smirked at the gasp that left his perfect lips.
“I missed you, kitten.” You purred, leaning in to place feather light kisses on his neck. He shuddered slightly at the sensation, and at the pet name; the one that let him know what time it was. His attitude turned docile and he was ready to take orders. He purred right back in anticipation, “I missed you too, dear.”  
“What did you make me?” You murmured, nosing gently at his jugular and taking in the smell of his intoxicating cologne.
“You’re favorite, of course.” He spoke matter-of-factly. You beamed up at him, pearly whites on full display. “You truly are magnificent.”
“It was nothing, dear.” He insisted.
“Nothing my ass, it smells phenomenal in here. Pick up that apron.” You released your grip on his hair and shoulder and grabbed his hand, leading him to the kitchen. You were stopped short because once you entered the dining room, you saw a full romantic spread at the large table.
The chair at the end of the table and the chair to it’s right each had a steaming plate of chicken parmesan over spaghetti with meat sauce and a glass of red wine set out for it. He laid out the good napkins and silverware as well as a vase of flowers and lit candles to set the mood. You looked back at him with a raised, impressed eyebrow and a grin to match. You knew he would come through, but you were just expecting dinner.
“Someone’s trying to earn some brownie points, huh?” You allbut swooned, rubbing his chest sensuously.
Jin shook his head. “I just live to please you, dear.” He rebutted genuinely. You leaned up to give him another slow, lush kiss. “Good. Because I have plans for you.” You promised once you backed away. He hummed agreeably in reply and pulled out your chair before asking permission to put away his apron. “May I be excused to hang this up, dear?”
“Yes, kitten, but hurry back.” You sat down and placed your napkin in your lap, ready to dig in. Jin was back in no time and the two of you talked about your days over the lovely dinner that he cooked for you. “More wine.” You spoke suddenly and Jin knew you weren’t asking so he quickly got on his feet to retrieve it. “Yes, dear.” And with that he was off to the kitchen. After your second glass you were feeling tipsy, but you needed more than that to relieve your stress.
“Come, kitten.” You got up from the table and headed over to the couch in the living room. Jin watched you make yourself comfortable from afar, waiting to be given an order.
“Come rub my feet.” You called to him. He was on the couch in seconds flat, taking your foot carefully in his hands and massaging immediately. You were moaning in no time, tilting your head back to rest on the arm of the chair. “That feels so good, kitten.” You sighed, almost melting into the cushions.
You watched him work and admired how engaged he was with what he was doing. His genuine desire to please you turned you on even more than his cooking skills. “Touch me, kitten.” You spoke suddenly in a deep, jaded voice while making a come hither motion with your fingers in his direction.
He took his massage from your feet to your legs to your thighs and up the sides of your hips, kneading your body deliciously all throughout until he was fully nestled in between your thighs. His hands caressed your torso and travelled further north to give the same treatment to your breasts. He moved slowly and thoughtfully in case he did something you didn’t like or wanted to stop abruptly.
But no objections were heard and so he unbuttoned your replacement blouse and dragged your bra cups down. He tweaked and sucked on your nipples until you were moaning again, letting out some moans of his own to let you know he was enjoying himself just as much. The vibrations made you gasp deliciously. You grabbed his face swiftly and brought it to yours for a fierce kiss before imparting, “Now rub my clit.” against his lips.
He moves fast, as usual, removing your skirt and underwear before getting to work, still playing with your breasts with his free hand. He collected the juices that had been flowing from your opening since you laid eyes on him tonight and marvelled at the sight as if it was the first time he’d seen it.
“You feel how wet you make me, kitten?” You cooed, petting the back of his head.. “Yes, dear.” He panted, pressing three firm fingers to your clit and rubbing in a slow circular motion while making eye contact.
“Aawwww fuck, kitten. You make me feel so good. Always know just the right buttons to push on me, don’t you?” You whimpered proudly, devouring his plump lips once more. “Yes, dear.” He mumbled, loftily against your hungry mouth, rubbing your clit even harder at the praise he was given. You spasmed slightly, bucking your hips up into his hand. “Hngh, now I want you to use your mouth, kitten.”
Jin scooted back towards the other end of the couch, fondling your body lovingly on his way down. He finally came face to face with your core and ran his fingers chillingly down your thighs before he was pressing them down to your chest so that you were on full display for him. “Yeah, eat me like you mean it, everything you did to me, I want you to lick it all up like a good little kitten.” You panted, looking down at him with hungry eyes.
“With pleasure, my dear.” He purred deeply before taking your clit in between his lips and licking the bud of nerves all while making heavy eye contact. You let out a sharp hiss at the brilliant sensation. “Ohahoho, you motherfucker.” You chuckle breathily through clenched teeth, gripping Jin’s scalp again and giving a loving tug. “Looking up at me with those pretty eyes while you eat my pussy.”
Your crood words went straight to his dick and he let a small moan slip out of his mouth. The vibrations sent a shock of pleasure through you and forced you to hold his head as close to your sopping cunt as possible and rut against his mouth.
He was fully lapping at your juices now, mouth wide open for his tongue to stroke you clit sloppily and making a mess, just the way you liked it. His mouth and your lips glistened with your essence, you could literally feel it dripping down your asshole and onto the couch. “God, I love that fucking mouth!” You squeaked. “Eating that pussy like you fucking love it. Do you love it, kitten?”
He nodded immediately, getting his nose involved in the fun and hummed noisily against your clit in agreement. But you needed to hear it. “Tell me you love it.” You ordered sternly. “I leurve uet.” He professed sincerely into your pussy, staying focused on his task of making you cum. Lucky for both of you, you were almost there.
“Ugh, hhh-yes, kitten. Put your fingers in me, now.” You barked out another order, which Jin was happy to take and had no trouble shoving two fingers into your perfectly soaked cunt, curling them and railing them into you at the perfect speed to get you off.
“Hungh, fuck! Make me cum, kitten, come on!” You chanted up to the ceiling with your eyes clenched shut, focusing on that extraordinary release. He grunted desperately into your cunt, sending you into your first orgasm of the night.
You let out a silent cry as your body quaked with the pleasure only your fiance’s mouth could deliver. You rode out your high in a moaning, shaking mess beneath him, grinding your core into his face and on his fingers as you came down.
You gently grasp his cheeks and lift his head up to look at you. He admired your breathtakingly fucked out expression and smiled lovingly as you brought his face closer to yours for a sloppy, languid kiss. You moaned at the taste of yourself on his lips as your tongues swirled and explored each other's mouths and your lips smacked together lazily.
“God, you’re so fucking hot. My good little kitten.” You praised catching your breath, patting his wild hair down on the crown of his head. “Thank you, my goddess.” He whispered back, revelling in the adoration.
“Upstairs.” You gave him one final peck before you stood up from the couch. You begin your course to the staircase, when you have a better idea. You turn around to find Jin stopping in his tracks behind you with a slightly bewildered expression.
“On your knees, pet.” You directed sweetly. Jin got to the floor compliantly and assumed the position, looking up at you for further instruction. “Lead the way.” You gestured to the stairs and got out of his way, watching him walk casually up the stairs like a small child. You even got a great view of his ass from here, you thought pleasantly.
He entered your shared bedroom and stopped several feet in front of the bed. “You’re so good at waiting for direction, pet.” You commended him from behind, getting rid of the remainder of your offensive clothing. “Thank you, dear.” You drifted over to your nightstand to retrieve a sleep mask and covered his eyes with it. He swallowed thickly, wondering what you had planned for him now.
You crouched next to him and without a word, you delivered a hard smack to his clothed bottom. He jumped in surprise, but he didn’t make a sound. “And you’ve got such a great ass, too. I really lucked up didn’t I?” You chuckled quietly. “What do you say?”
“Thank you, dear.” He recited easily. “Good kitten.” You waited a long silent moment before gifting him another loud smack. “Thank you, dear.”
“Who do you belong to?”
“You, my goddess.” He vowed faithfully.
“And who else?” You drawled, groping his ass to your heart's content, because it was yours and no one could take it from you.
“Only you, my sweet goddess.” Another devoted promise fell from his lips bringing a smile to your face.
Your hand travels from his butt up his spine to his neck and into his hair. You give a lenient tug to the black strands before pressing your lips to his ear. “Do you love me, kitten?” You whispered melodiously, causing Jin to shiver. “With all my heart, my goddess.” You kiss the shell of his ear softly at the admission.
Your voice takes on a more weighted, lustful tone. “Are you hard for me?”
“I’m so hard for you, dear.” He answered, his breathing beginning to pick up now. “Oh, really? Let me see.” You reached over his side and found his crotch. He hissed when you ran your hands along the outline of his dick through his slacks and he was not lying. The feeling of it in your hand alone made you clench your thighs together to savor the throbbing between them. “I can’t wait to have this amazing dick inside of me.” You were fully groping him now, rubbing him through his pants and making his heart race faster.
“What do you wanna do to me, kitten?”
“I wanna make you cum, dear.” He moaned out roughly.
“That’s my good, boy. Now strip for me.” You waltzed over to the bed and made yourself comfortable to watch the show, spreading your legs and letting your hands drift to your clit to fully enjoy it.
He stood up in the same place, eyes still covered. He undid the buttons of his shirt slowly, unveiling a new section of creamy skin as he went and making your mouth water. You pressed down firmly on your clit that was still wet from previous activities and began moving your fingers in slow circular motions when Jin shrugged the button up off of his shoulders and let it fall to the floor. He was entirely too sexy without even trying.
You got to watch his newly exposed muscles flex as he undid his belt and tossed that as well.
He unbuttoned the slacks and unzipped them in one motion and then stepped out of them, his full package on display with his boxer briefs not leaving much the imagination. You subconsciously rubbed at your clit faster, the lewd sound of your wetness becoming known to Jin.
“Take the underwear off.” You commanded a little harsher than you planned for. “Yes, dear.”
He quickly did as you requested so that you could now see his large cock standing at attention, his nearly purple cock head curving up to touch his stomach. “Walk forward.” You instructed, aware that he had no sight, but that he trusted you.
He walked in a straight line headed directly for you and once he was precisely in front of you, almost touching your knees that hung off the bed, you told him to stop. Your next order surprised Jin, but boy was he glad to hear it. “Touch yourself.”
“Yes, dear.” His hand jerked up to stroke his dick that was so close and beautiful that you were tempted to put it in your mouth, but you stopped yourself. You kept your eyes on his breathtaking body and watched him work himself over with his skillful hand, rubbing your clit rampantly at the sight. “I want you to cum for me, kitten. Can you do that for me?” You coaxed breathlessly.
He swiped at the head of his cock, collecting the precum before sliding his hand up and down the shaft again and faster this time. “Yesss, dear.” He breathed heavily. “You make me so fucking horny, I’m getting off at the sight of you stroking your cock.” He moaned at the thought, imagining it behind his eyelids.
You stopped rubbing your clit to insert two fingers into your sodden cunt and begin moving them in and out quickly, the sound of the two of you pleasuring yourselves filling the room. “You hear that, kitten?” Referring to the squelching noises produced by your actions.
“That’s what you do to me, mmm fuck, you’ve got me drenched and dripping onto the fucking bed.” You bit your lip, getting carried away with pleasure. “Ooooh, dear.” Your fiance moaned for you, his chest rising and falling heavily as he worked up a fine sweat on his brow.
You could feel your orgasm approaching as your arm gave up supporting you on the bed and you leaned back on your elbow. “Faster, kitten. I wanna, ungh, I wanna cum with you.” You gasped, giving up on holding yourself up entirely to play with your breasts and giving yourself over to absolute pleasure.
“Haah, y-yes, dear.” He stroked his cock even faster in hopes to catch up with you because lord knows what happens if he doesn’t. “Cum on me, kitten. Unnf-ha, I want you to milk that dick all over my pussy, I need it, pleaaassse.” You cried out, your back arching up to the heavens as you released all over your fingers blissfully.
“A-aahhh, aw, fuck!” Jin growled as he climaxed. You removed your fingers from yourself just in time because he did exactly as you asked and came long and hard, emptying his hot seed all over your already impossibly soaked cunt.
You shot up at the feeling of warm cum being sprinkled all over your nether region and couldn’t help, but giggle. “Take off the blindfold, kitten.” he did so as he caught his breath and finally got to take you in, somehow getting turned on again from looking over your fucked out form with his cum covering you. You looked him in the eyes as you gathered the cum on your lips and clit and inserted it into your pussy just to add to the fun. You liked things nice and sloppy, what could you say?
He watched you in awe, the visuals had his dick stirring to life one more. You raised your hand and curled your finger at him, signaling for him to come closer, although all he had to do was shuffle a few inches and bend down to be that much closer to you. You gripped his prominent jaw in your hand and laid a wet, potent kiss on his waiting lips, in which he gave one hundred percent.
“I knew you had spectacular aim, but I must say, this is a new feat, kitten.” You whispered proudly into his luscious mouth and he giggled into yours in response. “Thank you, dear.” He kissed along your cheeks and neck passionately. “But I believe you said a bad word, kitten.” Your suddenly stony tone caused him to freeze completely in his tracks.
“Didn’t you?” You demanded, wanting to hear it from him. “Yes, dear.” He whispered regretfully into your ear.
“And what is our rule on that, kitten?”
“The submissive must not utter any profanities during play time.” He recited from memory. You gripped his chin again and moved him back far enough to look you in the eyes. “So why did you just say it in my face?” You asked not letting go of him, feeling genuinely disrespected.
“You just made me feel so good, dear. When I ca-climaxed I only thought about making you feel good and I just couldn’t help myself, I’m so sorry, dear.” He stammered. You studied his face closely and found that your love was being earnest. “Thank you for your apology, kitten, I forgive you.” You pecked his lips and he smiled into the kiss. “But you need to be punished so we can make sure this kind of thing never happens again.” His smile falls, but it is replaced with a face of understanding. He nods in your hand and whispers, “Yes, dear.”
“Now, get your fine ass on this bed. On your back.” You barked and he moved quickly to position himself so as not to piss you off even further. You, on the other hand, moved back over to the night stand to retrieve the punishment. Jin’s face was only slightly concerned when you crawled on top of him and showed him the cock ring and lube.
“You’re going to wear this, I’m going to tie you to bed, and you’re going to let me use your dick to cum for as long as I want. Understood?” You deadpanned. He nodded instantly, eager to please you and get into your good graces again. “What was that?” You leaned in close with an ominous expression. “Y-yes, dear.” He stuttered out, nervously. “Don’t push your luck kitten.” You warned him.
He looked up at you with truly apologetic, wide eyes. “I’m sorry, it won’t happen again, dear.”
“It had better not...If it’s too much, you know the safe word.” You admonished and tossed him the items before going to tie his legs to the bed. He took his bottom lip in between his teeth and focused on fitting his dick and balls through the tight silicone ring. He laid back and spread his arms out wide so they were at your mercy and ready to be restrained. “That’s a good boy, kitten.” You praised, caressing his arms as you wrapped the rope around them snuggly and attached it to the bed.
You climbed on top of him again, taking his semi-hard dick and running it up and down your incredibly slick folds causing Jin to toss his head back into the pillows and sigh. “Gotta get you nice and hard again so we can have some fun, kitten.” You press his cock to your heat and begin grinding back and forth on it, covering it with your combined juices. You feel him start to harden beneath you already and you couldn’t wait any longer so you sat up on your knees and impaled yourself on his cock.
He grunted loudly when you sank down on his length, attempting to hold his head up to see how he disappeared inside you inch by inch. You shuddered out a moan when your pelvis fully met his, you could feel your combined juices dripping down to coat his cock even further.
“Mmmh, my God, that dick is perfect, kitten. And it’s all mine.” You gasped as your hips moved up and down on his cock. “All yours, my goddess.” He keened in agreement, his arms flexing against the pull of the ropes and his tight stomach muscles tensing deliciously beneath you.
You lean forward to rest your hands on his chest while you bounce up and down at a new delectable pace, your ass slapping down on him to create loud, wet, vulgar noises in the large bedroom. He nudges that spot against your walls that had you seeing stars and your jaw drops, but no sound is released, just hot air wafting down to sweep across Jin’s face and vice versa. He looked up at you like you hung the moon in the sky and his dick in that delicious pussy of course. In his eyes you were perfect and he wouldn’t trade you for the world.
Of course he had you near climax within three minutes of being inside you, that’s why you saved the best for last and had no intention of stopping any time soon. “Talk to me, kitten.” You spoke breathlessly, your hand reaching up to grip his throat in the perfect way that made his dick twitch inside of you, but still allowed him to speak.
“I love you, dear.” He blurted as if it was the only thing on his mind and had been dying to let it out. “I love everything about you-nnhg! How good you are to me, how sexy you are,” You stared deeply into his loving, fucked out eyes as you rode him like a woman possessed, chasing your high that was so close. “Tell me you want my cum.” You ordered through clenched teeth. “I want your cum, goddess, I want all of it gushing out for me.” He returned genuinely causing you to clench around him.  
He continued, revelling in how you constricted him inside of you as you neared your climax. “I love how tight you are, the face you make when you orgasm around me, ugh-sss, how you take my cock so well, your flawless ass, I wanna touch you so bad-gnghnaaaaa!” He quivered as you suddenly came, silently creaming all over his cock. You spasmed and rode your high all the way to the end with your eyes rolling into the back of your head while Jin marvelled at you from below.
“Haahh, fuck.” You exhaled deeply before gathering yourself. When you finally managed to sit up again your hand came down to deliver a hard slap to Jin’s cheek, his surprised face turning to the side from the force. “Kitten, what is it with you and these curse words today?” You prompted, releasing Jin’s still hard dick from you and travelling to the dresser opposite the bed.
Jin sucked his teeth and clenched his eyes shut with regret. “I’m sorry, dear-”
“Yeah I'm sure.” You mocked, opening the drawer and pulling out a pair of lace panties. You climbed onto Jin once again, taking him inside of you wordlessly. The obscenely wet sound of his cum coated dick re-entering you made the both of you incredibly horny. “Do I need to gag you? So you can shut up and take this pussy?” You offered with a strong grind of your hips on his. “Ahh, yes, dear. I deserve it.” He panted.
You stuffed the panties into his mouth roughly and you could have swore you felt his dick twitch inside of you at the action. “Such a naughty boy.” You teased, rocking back and forth with his cock nestled so deep inside of you. He mumbled something through the gag and you just laughed maniacally.
“Ahaha, that’s right, kitten. Shut up and take this pussy.” You growled, bouncing up and down on his amazing cock. “Unnnffuck, I want you to split me wide open on that dick, kitten.” Jin just nods enthusiastically, his chest rising and falling frantically. “Is that what you want, kitten? You want me to keep fucking this cock til I cum all over you, again?” You whined, never taking your eyes off of him. He moaned loudly and nodded quickly.
“Mmmm, oh fuck, I’m gonna cum for you so hard, kitten!” You cried as you felt the familiar flame in the pit of your belly ready to explode. In the next second, you were shouting expletives and convulsing vigorously as your orgasm crashed through you. “Homygod, homygod, homygod,” You chanted, grinding your pussy down onto your finance’s public bone mercilessly. You bent down to grip his face and remove the gag before kissing him senseless. “You fuck me so good, kitten.” You mumbled into his perfect mouth earnestly before gripping his throat with a growl. “Now, make me cum again.”
For the next twenty minutes, you continued to ride Jin non-stop, cumming around him, kissing him, slapping him or twisting his nipples when he got out of line, choking him occasionally and watching his eyes get a shade darker each time. He enjoyed this just as much as you did and you both enjoyed the slick and sloppy noise of his cock being repeatedly stuffed inside you. The white, runny substance coated both of your genitals and thighs, sticking to your sweaty bodies and even creating a sizable stain below you.
You looked down at your pet to witness a tear fall out of the corner of his eye, but his expression was still full of lust for you. “Oh, kitten.” You sucked your teeth and cooed at him. “Do you wanna cum?” You spoke breathily, never wavering on his cock. “Yes please, dear.” He nodded desperately at the offer and tugged on the restraints instinctively.
“Okay, kitten. I’ll make you feel good, but only because you made me cum so many times tonight.” You squeeze him with your walls one last time making him wince before you were separating yourself from him. You walked on wobbly legs to where his wrists were attached to the bed and undid the binds and each side. Your face scrunched up in annoyance at the sight of all your hard work being worked off as Jin removed the cock ring and just placed it on the already ruined sheets.
He looked at you expectantly with hopeful eyes as you walked around the bed and climbed up directly in front of him. You took hold of his angry looking cock gently, not wanting him to bust just yet, and took the slick from your wrecked pussy and coated his length with it once more.
“Much better.” You whispered before placing your mouth on his cock and stroking generously. Jin’s body tensed strongly as he let out a wicked groan. The feeling of being free from the cock ring and your heavenly mouth had him on the very edge. “Ahh-sss. T-thank you, dear.” He uttered, placing a hand on your head and gently running it through your hair.
“Anything for my pet. I want your cum in my mouth, kitten. Make me choke on it.” You purred, listlessly, taking him all the way to the back of your throat. “Ha-aahhh! Yes, dear!” He yelped, cumming almost instantly, emptying himself feverishly into your throat. “Nnhga! Yes, yes, yes, yes, dearrrrr.” He groaned loudly when you swallowed around him, making sure you got every bit of his seed in your mouth.
You bobbed your head lazily on his cock even after he was spent, body limp on the sheets just about down from his climax. You crawled back in between his strong legs to cover his body with yours and capture his lips in an adamant, love-filled kiss. He returned the kiss lethargically and wrapped his arms around you. “You’re so good to me, baby. I love you.” You pecked his lips one last time.
He opened his eyes wearily at the new pet name in realization. “I love you too, Y/N. I can’t wait to marry you.” He muttered honestly, looking up at you with so much adoration in his eyes. You beamed back at him. “You stop that right now, Mr., or I’m gonna have to suck your dick again.” You threatened playfully. You both laughed heartily and got ready for bed, knowing you were going to be sleeping next to the person who accepts you and will love you no matter what.

George Weasley having a crush on you would include~
Tumblr media
(Not my gif)(Requested by anonymous)
(These are just general headcanons but you can also request for specifics, like for a house or sort of person, i.e. childhood friend or prefect, etc)
- Though it certainly depends on the girl, George seems like the type of person to have a crush on someone for a while before he actually asks them out; at least when it comes to people he’s really taken by.
- Neither of the Weasley twins are shy but when it comes down to it, George is definitely the shyer of the two. Fred has always been the more outgoing and impulsive one while George has always been more diplomatic and reserved; at least in comparison.
- When he has a crush on someone, George tends to become friends with them; if he wasn’t already, so that he can see if they’re really a good match and to be close to them while he works up the nerve to ask them out.
- But, him being their friend doesn’t mean that he’s not flirtatious with them; he’s still the other half of the Weasley twins. He’s a bit more subtle and oftentimes more joking in his delivery but he still flirts.
- He gives you sweet and/or joking sounding compliments, ones that make your cheeks hot while also making you laugh because of the way he teasingly purrs them out.
- Speaking of teasing, you bet your ass that George is gonna mess with you damn near constantly. He’s a little less obnoxious and persistent as Fred would be but he still endearingly gives you hell.
- Though he’s identical in looks and just as charismatic as his brother, George has always felt as though people preferred Fred over him. Because of this, he’s a little scared that you’ll fall for his brother before he can ask you out and/or you’ll only be with him because you can’t be with his brother; especially as you begin to spend more time with the two.
- You being able to tell him and Fred apart? Heavenly. You don’t know how happy it makes him to immediately be met with his own name upon greeting you, as though it’s the easiest thing in the world for you to do.
- You’ll always get your own greeting when he see’s you. There could be a dozen other people there and he’ll give them all one big hello before specifically turning to you and giving you a “helloooo y/n”. 
- Being flanked by him and Fred as you’re walking around campus; or just him. He likes walking you to class or spotting you and tagging along when you’re going off to do something. 
- Although they aren’t nearly as bad as some of the Slytherins in the school, the Weasleys definitely have a bit of a prejudice towards the other houses. How George feels about and goes about interacting with his crush will depend on; at least partially, what house they’re in; though he’s not as harsh as his brother in most of his judgement.
- The Weasleys are all Gryffindors and have a lot of house spirit so a Gryffindor girlfriend is definitely the ideal. He wouldn’t be surprised upon realizing that he has a crush on a girl in his own house and would be far more open to flirting with and getting close to them. 10/10.
- Next up is Ravenclaw. He doesn’t have a problem with Ravenclaws and neither does most of his family. Why would he be bothered by having a thing for a smart girl? You can help them with pranks and all their other shenanigans! 8/10.
- Hufflepuffs... well, they’re there? No but really, the house is a mixing pot of different kinds of wizards and witches. To most people in the school; especially the prouder ones, they’re sort of just the default house that you get thrown into if you don’t possess the other houses traits. That being said, you seem like a sweetheart and since your house is so diverse, he’d certainly have to get to know you before he; and anyone else, could pass any real judgement. 6/10.
- I think you can guess where this ones going.... Slytherin, why does she have to be a Slytherin! He didn’t even know what to think upon realizing he had a thing for you, he was so taken aback, he refused to believe it for a while. You’re a villain, you’re the enemy ...wait that’s kinda hot...but regardless! He’ll hope that his feelings will go away but they obviously won’t and he’ll be forced to have them. 3/10.
- He definitely tries to show off to you with all his different tricks. Here, let him demonstrate the new Weasley product or one of his many magical abilities, he’ll make sure that you think it’s the most amazing thing ever. 
- Getting told all about his pranks, products, and other shenanigans. Your praise fuels him, especially when your compliments are directed towards him in particular; not him and his brother. 
- Getting mini gifts. One of his products, a little something he made for you, class/home work that your didn’t do, or even him pranking someone who bothered you. They’re just little things to see you smile and show that he cares. 
- Need help with something? He’s your man. Not only is he intelligent and good at wording things, he’s also very tall and quite strong, so whatever it is, he can most certainly provide assistance. And he’s more than happy to have the excuse to be around you. 
- Although he tries to keep it together as best he can, he almost always has the urge to just melt whenever you touch him; especially when he isn’t expecting it. He leans into all the affection that you give him very happily and usually with a playful expression on his face in an attempt to hide just how much he likes it. 
- He’s fairly affectionate with you and savors every moment you spend letting him hold your hand or hug you. You don’t even consider the fact that there could be an ulterior motive behind his touches, you just think that it’s George and he does it because he’s just a sweetheart or because he’s trying to tease you.  
- As much as he likes being funny and messing around with you, he particularly enjoys the earnest conversations that the two of you can and do get into. He loves the fact that you value his company even when he isn’t being amusing or over the top.  
- He probably overheard you telling your friends about “your type”, perfectly describing him, and he was over the moon until he realized you could mean literally any of the Weasleys. Well, at least he had a 1/7 chance right?
- He knows that you’re single and he has no business interfering with your life; which he won’t do unless egged on by Fred, but he can’t help but feel sad whenever he sees you with another guy. He fakes a smile when you look at him but it always drops when you aren’t. 
- Fred definitely makes innuendos and tries to push his brother to do something about his crush. He’s loyal to his twin so he wont totally out him but he’ll certainly make him sweat and smile as you look between them confused. 
- Once he decides that it’s time to ask you out, he does so with very little problem. He is a Gryffindor after all, and the Weasley twins aren’t exactly known for their fear of girls or literally anything. Congratulations on earning yourself such a wonderful boyfriend.

you and i are very close
"A younger Holt less familiar with Jake Peralta would reprimand him for being so easy to read – but it seems to be in his very nature to wear his heart on his sleeve, and the truth is, it suits him."
or, jake & holt talk about fatherhood. (post 7x10)
read on ao3 -
“…So that’s the lowdown on the Broughton case. Charles and I are gonna head out and arrest them as soon as the warrant comes through.” Jake finishes, bouncing slightly on his heels as he finishes the update. Raymond Holt leans back in his chair, content with their plan of action.
“Excellent work, detective.” Holt says – but then finds himself mildly concerned when he only receives a subdued nod in reply. While he may deem it an appropriate workplace response to a captain’s praise, it is far from the excessive energy and enthusiasm that Jake usually exudes.
Raymond recalls the previous night’s events – a biological sex reveal party that led to Jake’s father being taken to the ER – and wonders if that might be placating the detective’s usually golden Labrador-like temperament.
“I trust that your father is in good health?” He asks tentatively, gesturing for Jake to sit down- he pauses for a moment before doing so, leg jostling in a way that increases Holt’s concern by 17.5%.
“Yeah, he’ll be fine. Sorry our party was kind of a full-blown disaster. Guess I should have expected that with three generations of Peraltas in the room.” He makes the self-deprecating remark with the light-hearted bravado Holt has come to expect from the detective, though it’s notably flatter than usual.
What’s more, his smile is more of a grimace, and he can’t stop fidgeting with the badge around his neck – a classic Peralta tell. Something is clearly bothering him, likely related to his complex relationship with his father and his own fatherhood looming.
A younger Holt less familiar with Jake Peralta would reprimand him for being so easy to read – but it seems to be in his very nature to wear his heart on his sleeve, and the truth is, it suits him. It is an openness, a trust and a sincerity that Holt has earned over the years as Jake’s superior officer. Though he still finds himself exasperated by his stubbornness and fixation on action films, Holt sincerely values his respect and loyalty.
He frowns, trying to assess the best way to discreetly discern what could be causing the detective’s distress.
“I actually found the party to be rather enjoyable, save the alarming bloodshed. The carrots were rich in nutrition and I thought the cake’s green colour made a very interesting and progressive statement.”
Jake’s lips quirk up a little at that, and he sits straighter in the chair, so Holt must be doing something right.
“Thank you, Captain, but that actually wasn’t our intention. Just another screw-up.”
“I see.” He considers this new information briefly, before attempting to continue the non-case related chitter-chatter, something he usually avoids. “So, you are now aware of the biological sex of your child?”
“Oh, yeah! We’re having a boy.” Jake finally smiles genuinely, and Raymond can’t help but return it. He may not personally care much for small infants, but the thought of the bickering detectives he first met when he came to the Nine-Nine having a child together does inspire some fatherly pride over how far they’ve come.
“My congratulations to you both.” He nods again, but his gaze is still far away. Holt decides to subtly switch tactics.
“You know, whatever doubts may be plaguing you, I am certain you have absolutely nothing to be worried about. Your son is very lucky to have you both as parents.”
“What? I’m not, um, there’s absolutely zero doubts to be found here.” Jake’s eyebrows briefly shoot up to his hairline as he stammers some typically poorly concealed denial. Holt remains neutral, wishing he had done some research on the subject but doing his best to power through.
“It is perfectly natural to be anxious about such things.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the gentle encouragement is all that it takes for a veritable avalanche of emotions to trip over themselves as Jake speaks.
“I guess I just…I want to be the best dad I can be. I don’t want him to ever feel like…like he’s been abandoned or he’s alone. It’s crazy how much I already love this kid and I haven’t even met him yet, but I know I would do absolutely anything to keep him safe. And with my dad talking about this stupid Peralta father-son curse and my grandpa being a jerk and walking out of our lives all over again…I don’t know. I just know that I don’t want to let him – or Amy – down. Ever.”
Holt is admittedly, a little overwhelmed. He and Kevin have never seen the appeal of conforming to heteronormative ideals of family life, and yet he values his place as the head of the chosen family he’s found at the Nine-Nine. The mysteries of pregnancy and childcare are complete unknowns to him, yet he finds himself completely certain that Jake and Amy will be great parents to their future son.
So, Holt does what he has always found it easiest to do, and he tells Jake the truth.
“I am not sure of this family ‘curse’ you speak of, but as your commanding officer for the majority of the past seven years, I know your doubts are ill-founded. On the contrary, the dedication and loyalty you have shown me, and every member of this squad, only makes me surer you will be a great father.”
“Really?” Jake says, hopeful but apparently still unconvinced.
“This job is not an easy one. You and I know both know first-hand how our lives can be affected by circumstances we cannot control. But you would never willingly let your family down, and the fact that you are so committed to doing everything you can for them is a sure sign that you never will.” Holt pauses briefly to let his sincerity sink in.
“Your son is going to love you, Jake. He will grow to enjoy many Thomas Cruise films with you, and I’m sure he will come to share your passion for…the transforming robot sewer turtles?”
“Feel compelled to tell you those are two completely different franchises, but I really appreciate the attempt and I will be emailing Michael Bay’s team about a potential cross-over.”
“Well. Regardless of the specifics of these cartoon turtles, I am sure you have understood my point.”
“Yes. Thank you, sir. I- that means, uh, a lot.” His thanks is, as usual, completely earnest, and Holt finds himself glad to have helped in any small way. He cannot completely solve the detective’s issues with fatherhood, but he is happy to be one consistent and stable presence for Jake to rely on. Just as he knows he can rely on him.
“You are welcome. And you are free to discuss any other personal issues you may have with me, although I assume Santiago may be better suited to such conversations.”
“She’s been telling me pretty much the same thing.” Jake admits, shifting in his seat. Raymond briefly wonders about the intricacies of their home life, whether they will discuss this conversation over dinner or perhaps during the commercials of some form of media content.
“Well, I recommend you listen to her. She has proven herself to be extremely perceptive and is rarely ever wrong.”
“I know.” Jake grins, a very specific smile on his face that Holt recognises has long been reserved for talking about Amy, even before they began their courtship. “Sometimes I still can’t believe she married me.”
Holt thinks of years spent watching them endlessly bicker and argue and tease each other, thinks of the intimacy affection he sees most often when they are inebriated at Shaw’s bar. He thinks of how ragged and distraught they’ve been each time they’ve been forced apart and how relieved they were to be back together. He thinks of officiating their wedding and accidentally intruding on their honeymoon, and above all, he thinks about each moment of their shared happiness together he has been privileged enough to witness.
“I do not believe she was wrong about that either.”
It’s an expression of sentiment which breaches many of his strict rules of conduct and professionality in the workplace, and he’s partly reluctant to be debasing himself so willingly. But then Jake’s eyes are shining with gratitude and his usual enthusiastic bright demeanour has returned and Raymond can’t help but feel relieved.
“Oh my god, I always knew you were our secret number one fan. Charles is going to be crushed.”
“You are dismissed.”
“Noooo, but I really want to stay and talk about how invested you are in our relationship- “
“-Please leave my office.”
Holt maintains his usual stony-faced composure until Jake shuts the door – only then does he allow himself to relax in his seat a little, fondly thinking of Kevin, Cheddar and the family he has found in the Nine-Nine. He makes a note to discuss stuffed animal varieties with Kevin at a later date so that they may have something to present Jake and Amy’s son when he arrives.
And when he gets to meet the newest addition to the Santiago-Peralta family a few short months later, held oh-so-carefully and preciously in the arms of a man he has come to consider a son, it is a meeting that he treasures for the rest of his life.

Introducing the brothers to your parents, pt. 1
Lucifer
Your parents are probably introduced to Lucifer for the first time at some sort of school event, like a festival or school production
Naturally, as a member of the student council, Lucifer will be in some sort of position in charge of the event, which scores points immediately with your parents
His manners are also very refined and polished for someone so young they think and they come away very impressed at first.
He’s very much looking forward to having dinner with your parents, as he considers it an important milestone.
Brings an expensive bottle of fine wine as his contribution to dinner, or, alternatively, a gourmet dessert platter.
Very formal and polite, knows his way around the small talk and an expert at saying what people like to hear.
However, despite his efforts, there’s just something about him that never quite puts your parents at ease... And the more time around him they spend, the worse it gets.
Even his best efforts can’t dispel that intimidating aura of domination and strong demonic energy
However, he checks off every box your parents might have - smart, polite, rich, and well-intentioned, so they probably won’t say anything against him to you.
Despite this, expect to see your parents inexplicably tense up any time he comes over
Mammon
Oh boy, this is an uphill battle for multiple reasons
He’s the boy every parent secretly hopes their kid will NOT date
His first introduction to them is probably in the form of them catching him trying to sneak you out at night or making out in his car when he’s dropping you off.
After that, your parents will probably insist on meeting him formally to put the fear of God in him
You’ll probably have to convince Mammon to actually come, because you both have a good idea of what’s coming and even Mammon knows most parents wouldn’t be pleased at the situation they caught you two in.
The meeting begins with a firm handshake, probably much firmer on your parents’ end then it needs to be, and even though it’s obviously not going to do anything to a demon like Mammon, he still gets the gist and starts sweating bullets.
The grilling starts as soon as you sit down - where does he work? (nowhere) How are his grades? (deplorable) What does he plan to do after graduation? (get rich quick somehow) What about you drew him in? (”your smokin’ looks” he quips, only to be met with frigid silence)
After they release him to go home and scream into his pillow with relief, they’ll definitely corner you and tell you in no uncertain terms that they do NOT approve and that he’s probably just trying to get you in bed (if this has already happened, now is NOT the time to inform them)
Of course, none of this will stop the two of you from seeing each other and sneaking around despite curfews and threats of grounding
Eventually, he’ll earn their respect by being there for you and visiting often when a rough patch or tragedy strikes, and although they’ll never really like him, they’ll understand that his feelings for you are genuine
Leviathan
The moment he’s been dreading has finally arrived
He will flat out scream and throw a mini tantrum at the news that your parents want to officially meet the mysterious shut-in that you’ve been seeing
He knows it’s a bad idea, you know it’s a bad idea, but it’s a hurdle that has to be crossed eventually, so after much huffing and promises that you’ll do a video game marathon with him afterwards, he relents
Up until the moment you walk in the door, he’ll be sweating buckets and muttering about how much they’ll disapprove. You do your best to discourage these thoughts and reassure him, but c’mon those fears aren’t entirely unfounded
Your parents drop any air of aggression pretty quickly after seeing the cowering young man with a shaky voice for the first time. They are polite enough to refrain from wiping their hand off after shaking his sweaty hand.
Dinner consists largely of you trying to put him at ease and your parents trying to coax an answer longer than two words out of him.
Things just get worse when they ask him about his hobbies, and he squeaks out that his interests lean mostly towards... foreign media. You thought he might actually pass out from nerves.
As a last ditch effort, you get a brilliant idea and bring up TSL, which your parents have recently begun watching.
It’s not long before Levi has calmed down enough to start gushing over the series, and while your parents are surprised at his... affinity for it, they’re relieved to see him finally talking and holding a lengthy conversation instead of looking like he might vomit at any second.
Afterwards, your parents will probably ask you if you’re sure... And you’ll explain to them how Levi is a great guy, just really awkward in social situations. They’ll take your word for it, as they can tell he’s not malicious, and will be all “Whelp, if he makes you happy...”
Things aren’t quite as calm back at Levi’s, where he spends a good hour sobbing into his body pillow that he’s ruined things irrevocably. He comes out of it eventually when you shower him with praise for making it through dinner without dying of fright and remind him of your promise to game with him.
Satan
Without a doubt, the easiest one to introduce
That charming smile, his well-put together appearance, good grades, calm demeanor... They’ll be smitten almost as much as you.
He’s glad to meet your parents, as he knows it means that you’re very serious about your relationship.
Gets along very well with your parents as, just like Lucifer, he knows what to say and has impeccable manners. Your parents will end up genuinely enjoy talking with him, and urge you to bring him over more often.
You might end up teasing them that he’s replaced you as the favorite child.
“When’s the wedding?” they ask sooner than later, leaving you flustered and him delighted.
When they learn he’s brothers with Lucifer, they express surprise at how much alike the two are. That’s probably the only time he comes close to losing his demeanor in front of them, and they see wrath flicker in his eyes just for a moment before smiling and joking it off. They’re confused for a moment, then shrug it off, blaming it on a trick of the light.
Asmodeus
Oh this will be interesting
He actually ends up being rather quick to ask when he’ll get to meet your darling parents, with that mischievous smile of his.
Luckily, your parents had been asking about him too, so a dinner meeting is quickly arranged.
He brings a lovely cherry pie he baked himself as a contribution, which pleases them. Good thing they don’t know that it’s a joke that he was the one to pop the cherry in your pie, as he cheerfully informed you the night before while laying on the crust.
He’s very cheerful and talkative, swapping skincare tips and sharing the recipe for the pie, which turned out surprisingly well.
In fact, the only one sweating here is you, because you know at some point he won’t be able to resist making an innuendo, and when that time comes, Lord have mercy if your parents catch on.
And his dirty nature does, inevitably, rear its head when your parents ask him if he does baking regularly.
“Not often, but I was hoping to try a cream pie tonight,” he beams.
You almost choke on your wine, and while he’s patting you on the back wearing that same innocent smile, you’re kicking him under the table.
Fortunately, your parents are seemingly not up-to-date on sex slang, so they just smile and offer up their own tips on baking.
You still can’t believe he actually get away with something that brazen, though.
Afterwards, they shake hands warmly and invite him to come over again.
The moment he’s out the door, they turn to you stone-faced and say that the next time he talks about cumming in you, he’ll be going home with an ice pack.
Asmo just finds this absolutely hilarious, and laughs his head off about it, even as you blush furiously and protest that it isn’t funny it was a lil funny
Fortunately for your sake, he reins it in, and the cream pie incident is never brought up again.
Whenever he brings food in the future, however, your parents give him a death stare, as if just daring him to joke about jizzing in their child again.
