ex nerd! scientist! miguel o'hara x slutty! reader

part two here!

word count: 745

TW: smut, nsfw, d/s themes, mentions of pet play.

A/N: THIS IS INSPIRED BY @nymphomatique SO PLS CHECK THEIR ONE OUT!! their drabble rlly inspired me so i thought maybe i could add a little twist;) welcome to the club!

back in your college days, you were.. promiscuous, some would say. well, you were the biggest slut on campus. if your body count didn't say it all, then the rumours sure did.

you took chemistry, maths, physics and biology. you wanted to be a physics scientist, partially because of the thought of there being lots and lots of different universes, but mostly because the pay was brilliant.

miguel o'hara was your 'pet' back in your college days, per-say.

you used him for your homework, and in exchange you would fuck him, give him head, handjobs, you name it. you took miguel's virginity, and every bit of innocence he had left. he was totally smitten by you. i mean, a pretty, popular girl giving him attention no one ever did? sign him up.

miguel was the biggest loser you knew back then. he wasn't the most muscly, and he had those ridiculous black square glasses, and his outfits were shocking. he had a slight lisp due to his late braces, and his hair was far too long and he clearly struggled to maintain it. to keep it blunt, he wasn't cool at all. he was a loser, a simp, and a goody two-shoes. perfect as your little pet.

it wasn't until after graduation did you stop your little encounters. after leaving college, you blocked his number and left campus on the same day. you thought you'd never have to see that nerdy freak again. well, that's what they all say, right?

that was until you finally got a job at ALCHEMAX. you were a 'technological support scientist', which sounded smart but really all you got to do was watch all the better scientists do tests. you didn't mind, it did more then just pay your bills. hell, with the checks you're bringing in you could probably buy a new car in a few months!

you thought things were all sunshine and rainbows, until the thunder walked in. it's funny though, you didn't realise thunder looked like 6'9 tall and 310 pound of pure muscle and attractiveness. his braces were gone, his hair more clean and cut a little shorter, and his glasses just resting on top of his head, but you knew exactly who he was.

'm-miguel o'hara?!' you said, shocked. he turned around swiftly, looking down at you, before his eyes widened. 'y/n l/n?' he said, surprised. you both had become blushing messes. well, his glow up sure came after only 3 years.

'you.. work here?' you asked, absolutely awe-struck. 'i.. do. i am a technological scientist here. you work here too? why haven't i ever seen you around before?' he asked, intriuged. 'i-it's my first day here. you.. matured.' you said, clearly checking him out.

the man smirked. he actually smirked. the man who would whimper, begging to just get off on your shoe, smirked at you like he was in control. 'and you look as gorgeous as 3 years ago.'

your heart stopped. who was this man? this muscular, defined, confident, completely self aware man.. this wasn't miguel. there was no way.

'you..you're very different, miguel.' you said, a blushing mess. he chuckled, putting some latex gloves on. fuck, even his hands were attractive. 'well alot happens to a guy.' he says smoothly, his voice deeper. god this was going to be hard.

♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎

that very night, you were spread out on the bed, and you didn't recognise the man above you.

3 years ago, a scrawny desperate nerdy little boy was on his knees, as if you were a goddess. and now, that very man was on top of you, kissing your neck so skilfully, as if he's done this for years. his thrusts had rhythm, as he grinded along your g spot with ease, you let out a gasp and a breathy moan, as he shushed you.

'sh, bonita.. you've changed. where's that dominatrix you were back in college days? why are you so.. obedient?~' he whispered in your ear, as you moaned again.

'i-i think i-it's y-you that changed, m-miguel..' you breathily said in response, as he chuckled. 'oh no, sweetheart, i'm still the same loser that was begging on his knees for you. just now, i've learnt how to please you as well as me.' he said in response, his hands moving down from your breasts to your hips, his cock deep inside you as he grinded his hips as you felt every inch.

god, is this heaven?

The last talon (among the many others)

While Argile introduced me to many more talons they barely gave me any mind. Mouse, the ex skywing solider was the final one who seemed rather intriuged in me.

Mouse is a small and scrawny skywing. He coughed little flickers of flame every so often almost as if his body kept trying to make fire. Despite his size and lack of strong flame he is crafty. Every plan he makes works out perfectly. Im quite impressed and he seems rather nice... though he can get nosy

He says he joined the talons of epace because he saw the destruction of war and wanted it to end. The whole reason he was exiled from the skywings was due to wanting peace. I feel bad as his years as a soldier seem to weigh heavy on him

overall he is a decent dragon to hang around

LIAR

LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!

HES DOOMED ME! THAT BACKSTABBING SNAKE!

Mouse ran back to the skywing queen and ran his big chicken head mouth off about my visions and prophecy! The whole of pyrrhia knows of me! THE SKYWING QUEEN HAS A BOUNTY ON MY HEAD.

Whats worse is that none of the other talons seem to care.... Argile just shrugged and told me to stay out of sight.

I... I.. dont know what to do... I dont know where to go... I...why couldnt I have gotten a vision of this? Am I just some cosmic messenger? Some meaningless pawn?

The moons have forsaken me....

💄? I am so intriuged, in that sort of “oh yay suffering :)” sort of way all dreamlings are

lol yeah I'm realizing there's a lot of suffering in this fic 😅 I promise there's a happy ending!

I know I've posted the first part of this snippet before, but now I have the companion scene that goes with it finished!

Dream is 24, and he’s a little out of breath when he gets to the bar, but at least he isn’t late. Thessaly is strict about punctuality, and this is the first time she has agreed to introduce Dream to her friends. But when he approaches her by the entrance, she simply looks at him and sneers. “God, you look awful.” Dream looks down at himself. He is dressed in his nicest jeans and a black button up rolled up to his elbows, nice but still casual. But when he looks back at Thessaly, she’s not looking at his outfit. She’s looking at his face. “I…” he touches his bare cheek nervously, “I did not put any makeup on. I was running late and-“ “I’d rather you show up late than show up looking like a corpse,” she snaps, “God, you look like you haven’t slept in a year.”  He is tired. But she doesn’t sound concerned. She just sounds mad. “I’ll fix it,” Dream blurts out, desperate, “Just, just tell them I’ll be a little late, I won’t be longer than fifteen minutes-“ “You better not be,” Thessaly huffs, turning away to walk into the bar, “If you’re later than that don’t bother coming at all.” Dream runs. He sprints like the devil is on his heels, bursting into a convenience store and grabbing handfuls of makeup. His hands shake as he stands in the public restroom and layers foundation onto his face to try to fix it. To fix himself. Ten minutes later he is kissing Thessaly on the cheek and greeting her friends. “That’s more like it,” she says to him tersely under her breath, “now you just need to not be a freak for an hour. Try to stay seen and not heard, okay sweetie?” Her voice drips with condescension. But Dream knows she’s right. He keeps quiet. He sits on his hands. He makes sure to always keep spare makeup in his coat after that. Thessaly still breaks up with him on their six month anniversary. But for six months, he isn’t alone. ~~~ Dream is 30, and he is running late, but he looks immaculate. He saunters up to the bar where Hob stands, waiting for him. The makeup in his pocket is expensive, but does the trick. Hob grinned slyly, “You’re late.” “It seems I owe you an apology,” Dream purred, slinking up into Hob’s space until they are chest to chest, “I’ve always heard it impolite to keep one’s friends,” Hob gasped as Dream palmed at his groin, “waiting.” He lets Hob drag him into the restroom and push him to his knees. He lets Hob fuck his face until he gags and chokes. His lipstick never smears. His eyeliner doesn’t run. “You are unfairly composed,” Hob states with a grin, still panting slightly from coming down Dream’s throat. Dream fixes his hair with quick efficiency, and smirks, “I’ve had a lot of practice.” Back at the bar, Dream is poised and flawless. He lets Hob do the talking. He sits on his hands. At the end of the night, Hob kisses him and asks him out again. So he must be doing something right.

El Toro De Piedra thoughts

Hello guys, I'm back again with a post because even if this episode didnt touch my emotionally there is a lot of lore to unpack here and I cannot wait to get into it! Like always spoilers below the gif and I hope I can do this episode justice!

For a start lets start with something light but not really light, Adrinette, where once again we briefly touch on the power of secrets and once again get an insight into Marinette and her secrets and this episode in my opinion really showed once again how all Marinette wants to do is protect Adrien and once again tells us that she has to bear a large burden, now I know some people on seeing the scene where she decided to not show Adrien might get mad but I cant help but not share that sentiment because honeslty Marinette was going to tell him even when Nathalie suggested destroying the letter, which by the way once again proves that the adults have just as much power in this and that everything should not lie on Marinette, even if Nathalie did listen to her but yeah this is not all on Marinette. Now initially I thought that this was the episode after revelator but on cross checking its before which I am glad for as it does not retcon anything and actually makes her decision to not tell Adrien and her decision to hide the truth from Alya make more sense, it shows that Marinette had doubts and would have been honest with that letter if Adrien hadnt voiced his guilt on not trying to speak to his father, with this thought in mind he would feel even more guilty if he knew that his father was Monarch because Adrien is the type to balme himself first all the time so yeah valid decision Marinette and I support you because I understand you but I also get Alya's point and do agree that Adrien needs to be given the choice even more so after Adrien talked about how he wants to face the truth about his father but in the end I could never hate her for her decision. Shes soft and is often swayed by care and emotions and I cannot blame her but honestly she has never been the one to go with tough love, she doesnt have the strength to when it comes to her loved ones. Anyway enough about Marinette and lets move to Nathalie who has just gotten more intriuging.

Now on to Nathalie, first of all before we go into the new lore about her I want to appreciate the bond Marinette has with Nathalie and I find it really sweet that she immediately went to Nathalie which is development from Marinette who tends to do everything on her own ever since Master Fu left so I find it heartwarming that she has found another adult to rely on sometimes, in the end shes still the one in charge but its nice that she has a guardian figure like Nathalie which I am sincerely hoping will never change because the post credits scene with Nathalie throws a bit of doubt on Nathalie's character because of how she was in a room with people who know the truth about Gabriel and are behind the miraculous. I however do not think Nathalie is evil because well she didnt sell Marinette out and give the miraculous to her father and I do not think its case of biding her time because Nathalie had many chances with how close her and Marinette seem to be. She also know about Marinette's weakness when it comes to Adrien and could easily use it to get the miraculous so no I dont think she is bad in the miraculous stealing way but she may be bad in other ways. The operation perfect world definitely had evil undertones so she might still be evill well not evil but morally grey which I personally think will make her more interesting and I cannot wait to see more! She wont betray Marinette or Adrien but she might be bad for the world. Now lets go to Ivan.

First of all I am glad the episode continues to maintain the new status quo of giving us more information about the background characters like it did in Daddycop and it gives me more hope for miraculous but yeah love the direction the show is going because never in a million years did I think that they would give Ivan a story but I am pleased regardless. His story is one of the more interesting ones and finally explains why he was the way he was in season 1 and where his violent tendencies come from. I also like that the first exposure to his backstory includes him standing up to his father which is a nice contrast to Adrien who never got the chance to stand up to his father and probably never will which is quite unfortunate but it is what it is. It is clear that Ivan sort of functions like a foil to Adrien and I am glad the show recognised that. Similarly, this side story with Ivan may be a form of foreshadowing maybe telling us what will happen with Adrien but yeah I kind of like this structure in literature of mini stories from side characters which echo the main characters arcs. I do think they could have explored Ivan's story more but it makes sense that we didnt go into depth just yet as it sort of reflects what happened with Sabrina where we did see glimpses of her toxic relationship with Chloe and how it was only properly addresses much later so I suppose it makes sense but I still consider Daddycop better than this episode. Now lets talk about Gabriel Agreste, the worst father in the world.

Okay so I dont think I have much to say about Gabriel but I shall try anyway, for a start it does seem that there was kind of a time where he was a present father, still not perfect but I guess the papa corn plushie shows that yes there was a time he was affactionate but then again you could argue that the reason he gave Adrien that plushie is because he felt guilty for being a horrible father? I dont really know because I refuse to believe that he was ever a present father because what this man turned into is frightening and I hate him to the moon and back. More on him being a horrible father is his letter to Adrien which I dont know when he wrote but just shows his selfishness because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE ASKING YOUR SON TO BECOME A SUPER VILLAIN TO BRING YOU AND YOUR WIFE BACK???? LIKE HONESTLY HOW COULD YOU? I MEAN WHY WOULD YOU MAKE YOUR SON GO THROUGH THAT AND LEAD HIM DOWN THE WRONG PATH???? can you tell that I hate him? I am sure you can but this man is someone I am so glad died because now he cant plague Adrien's life but at the same time I feel furious that this man got no consequences, hes happily back with his wife and his son is suffering an orphan, not to mention the trauma and burden he gave Marinette by telling her to ensure that Adrien only remembered the times he was a good father which spoiler alert was not many, anyway I hate him and I am glad he died but I wish he suffered more because that man is the worst. Now lets end with a small note on Luka and shipping and maybe a little more on Adrien.

First of all I need to say that the adrinette WAS SO ADORABLE, LIKE HONESTLY SO SO CUTE AND I ADORE THAT THEY ARE DATING AND I LOVE THE WAY MARINETTE IS ALWAYS PAYING ATTENTION TO HIM AND I JUST LOVE HOW HE IS SO OPEN WITH HIS AFFECTION AND SHE WITH HERS WHICH ONCE AGAIN JUST PROVES TO ME HOW PERFECT THEY ARE FOR EACH OTHER. I know that they have to grow but honestly I do think they're perfect for each other because Marinette is always supportive and Adrien just vibes with her overthinking and craziness which I adore so so much but enough about them, now lets talk about Julerose.

So for a start I have to say that I am not their biggest shipper but that doesnt mean I dont find them cute, I honestly love the little bits we have about them but until todays episode I didnt really pay much attention to them but after todays episode where well it is super obvious they're together from the censored kiss which I am sire was on the lips, well they are canon and no one can dispute it, I always knew they were but I never really paid attention or cared but after today I will be trying to find more signs unless I am swept by Adrinette which is my ship. Whatever the case they both have a really supportive relationship and it was nice to see Rose encourage Juleka, only for her to absolutely steal the show which is so sweet but yeah I dont really have more to say on them exactly but I guess we can talk about Miss Bustier.

so shes not my favourite character and after reading people's opinions on her online, I am sort of developing this irritation with her and dont feel like she deserves a song but like I guess it is sweet the class cares and thats always nice to see where friends support each other and they didnt get mad at Ivan for leaving. It just really shows what great friends they are to each other and thats something I enjoy about miraculous how everything isnt just romantic and that its not called the superior love but that they operate in combination with platonic friendships like Marinette and Alya most notable but also in the small moments of support by Luka for his sister Juleka and his supportiveness of Adrien and Marinette despite his feelings for Marinette. Whatever the case it was a fun episode and I still love the show and I feel like I can say more but for now I've got to sleep, I may(Not really) do a follow up later but for now this is Fanta signing off. Thank you for reading if you made it to the end!

Deception & Intriuge

A/N: This was requested over on our wattpad, another request will be out soon for YanSim! I’m just focusing on school at the moment since the workloads increased. I hope you enjoy!

I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO ADD THAT Y/N IS KIRA!!

____________________________________

KIRA…

TRANSLATION; KILLER

The night air was thick with tension as Y/N strolled through the dimly lit streets, shrouded in mystery. Another encounter awaited him at the Japanese task force building, where L resided. As he approached the building, a sense of both curiosity and agitation washed over him.

L was starting to suspect him which was getting on his nerves. But also. This was perfect. Y/n saw an opportunity in L’s unexpected liking towards him, realising the potential to turn the tide of the investigation to his advantage. With a calculated approach, these last few months he had been under L’s surveillance, he had strategically begun to build a stronger connection with him, gaining his trust through subtle cooperation and active involvement through the case. Y/n elected some sort of empathy from L, clouding his judgement and creating a shield around himself.

Inside, a labyrinth of monitors and scattered notes filled the room. L, a figure cloaked in the shadows, turned his piercing gaze towards you. “I have been observing you.” he said, voice laced with suspicion. “There are certain inconsistencies in your actions that raise my suspicions.” His intellect was unmatched, Y/N couldn’t help but be captivated by his presence.

But Y/N was not without his secrets. Throughout school, he was classified as a genius right through to his adulthood. He is highly perceptive, and manipulative. He wouldn’t be foolish enough to slip out a single word that would hint that he was Kira.

“May I ask, what certain inconsistencies are you speaking of?” He paused, thinking for a moment. “Ryuzaki?”

“Kira is located in the Kanto region of Japan, he is believed to be a college student based on the timings of the killings. It’s obvious also that he has access to the police database, shown through the timing adjustments and a behavioural analysis we conducted whilst you were under camera surveillance at home.”

Y/N’s chest tightened, keeping the innocent facade present as his hands rested in his pockets. “Interesting deductions, L. The investigation certainly seems thorough. But I must say, attributing all these traits to one person seems like a stretch. Let's not overlook the possibility of a more elaborate scheme at play here, shall we?”

L found himself back in a loophole, so utterly confused, yet he knew Y/N was Kira. What was stopping him from detaining him? He disregarded his feelings for him, the slight attraction that grew for Y/N each day was starting to get to him.

The dance of words and gestures became a delicate balance between exposing his true intentions and maintaining his innocence.

“Funny how Kira seems to have a knack for timing, isn’t it? Almost as if they have insider information..” Y/N spoke casually

As L’s piercing gaze lingered on Y/N, a playful smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, hidden behind his facade of innocence. He knew damn well that he had L’s attention, and he relished in the thrill of the game they played, each step drawing them together.

“Well Ryuzaki?” Y/N began, his tone teasing. “I must admit, once again your suspicions are certainly flattering. You tend to love a good mystery, especially when it's directly in front of you.”

L’s expression remained stoic, but a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. “Flattery will get you nowhere, Y/N.” He retorted. “But I must admit, you do have a certain charm to you..”

Y/N couldn’t help but chuckle softly, arms crossed over his chest. “I’m well aware of my charms.” He replied. “But it seems you’re the one caught in my web of intrigue. Tell me, detective, are you enjoying the chase as much as I am?”

L’s lips quivered into a half-smile, a rare display of amusement. “You’re certainly full of surprises, Y/N.” He admitted.

A century ago... (IDEA DUMP) (FW Blood)

Not Mag trauma dumping 🤦‍♀️

Alr here are your 2 new characters to the TKoRaT's expanding world:

Aster is not "Star Boy" or the one Asha wishes on.

I feel like the name best suited them, because...well idk it just did for the design I was imagining at one point.

Also this one is like pretty old, like I am between 2,000 or more. Yee they have been around for a long time...

So why did this dude want to grant this random ass guy's wish? They really didn't have a choice to be frank. They were wished upon, they have to do their job, and they also were intriuged. Why did this dude want to defeat "The Great Magnifico"?

Also, Aster I dont think will appear nessesarily in "The Kingdom of Roses and Thorns" in the main story where Asha's story takes place. Only in like a possible prequal? Idk man I am just idea dumping

So STAR BOY does know of them, but not on a personal level. I feel like since he knows the story of Aster, he just wants to not have Asha fall down that path.

(wholesome moments will never end with those two)

There was a few goals I had with this character:

Make him menecing enough

Make them sort of like a bibical angel..dont ask I just felt like that they would look like that for some reason

GIANT EYE

And I just realized they look like a character from the amazing digital circus.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

So the random ahh dude..

Yeah he hurt Mag's pride in .000000001 milliseconds lmaoo

Maybe there is like a place where they learned sorcery? I mean, I'm just thinking this dude learned how to start magic through Aster then turned to some dark ahh magic maybe idk...

I was thinking that maybe it was his brother? But Maggy (Magnifico) in my version would be the oldest in my version.

Yeah yk what? Eugene it is and he is Magnifico's younger brother who had to die. If Magnifico kills him...thats cool but idk if he has the guts at this point of his old life to kill his brother. Or his best friend? Rival? Idk but his name is now Eugene :/

Thats all I got, I am just EXPLORING and IDEA DUMPING. I am not saying that this is CANNON in my story, I'm just looking at other ways to destroy Magnifico and Amaya mentally :3

And now giving them a backstory is breaking my heart like my villains did not deserve this 😭

What is cannon though, is that Rosas was destroyed by a Star, or mainly the star helped do some mass murder on the whole place at least more than over a century ago. How they survived that long is by consuming wishes that gives them new life and live longer (yes I am adding onto what else the wishes do to them yipeee). Still debating if a wish is destroyed, the person dies, but idk yet :3

Funny enough, he doesn't use magic as much as he does now. He was very reclusive with his magic and only used it when nessesary. Never to kill people either....which is the completly the opposite of TKoRaT Maggy is now, same with Amaya :')

[deathbxnny]

Omg official first request I've made ever?

Okay so hear me out, Dragonkin Reader, Dragon of war at a point of time in the past who was best friends with Morax in ye olden days. Reader who use to drink Osmanthus wine with everyone and such, ended up in a marriage with the great Morax and over time things got shaky, when he faked his death and took the name Zhongli and decided that having a dragon partner with obvious features of Dragonkin isn't great for his whole Human(tm) brand he has going on so he just neglects the reader except for during meetings with Childe on occasion, and reader just so happens to befriend Childe who definitely has his eyes for the stunning dragonkin...and perhaps even challenges them to a spar in which Reader wins and he just falls over head in heels with them..and perhaps reader shows up soggy in the rain at the inn room he's in when Zhongli presented Divorce papers and essentially kicked them out 👀 or something of the sort. Extra angst extra forbidden(ish) romance 👀👀👀

-----

A/N: Why hello there! I am honoured to be the recepient of your request, dear definitely-a-stranger of mine! I love the idea, but have changed it maybe a little bit too much on accident, so I hope that you'll like it anyways!<33 Content: Mention of non-sexual nudity!!!, some light flirting, neglect, Zhongli being a bad husband (like in most of my writing for him-), some angst, emotional adultery???, hurt/kind of comfort, talks of divorce, Childe being a sly homewrecker, somewhat forbidden romance, romantic tension, characters might be ooc?? idk- Female reader, who has some dragon-like features!

"Take a leap into the waters below with me, won't you?"

It was a cold and misty morning, when Ajax decided to take a nice swim in an uncharted lake he had found during his travels. It was close to the borders of Liyue city, hidden in a lush field of tall grass, and yet no map seemed to acknowledge it's existence. This intriuged him greatly, as not even locals seemed to be aware of it. And so, whenever the tempratures dropped, he ventured out for a quick dip in the cold water, a familiar tradition from back home. He trudged through the thick grass, his eyes narrowing against the mist. It was easy to miss the lake and so he was always very careful in looking for it, having even gone as far making a small pathway for himself.

A content smile pulled at his lips, when he finally saw the still surface of it in the distance, his steps speeding up, until he stood at the small part of the shoreline that wasn't covered in rocks. His boots came off first, then his shirt and jacket, then his pants. All unceremoniously thrown onto a nearby rock, right next to the foreign silken robes he hadn't seen in his eagerness to get in. Ignorant to what may linger below, he was quick to lower himself into the water, letting out a soft hiss at how cold it was.

Just like how it was back home.

He closed his eyes, muscles tensing and flexing, before they relaxed and his mind drifted into thoughtless dreams of work and his family. It was quiet and peaceful here... perhaps a little too unnaturally quiet. But his apparent fearlessness didn't allow him any doubt or worry. Every now and then, he'd hear the soft movement of the water in the subconsciousness of his mind, until it became a little too often and began near approaching him. He cracked a tired eye open, his arms crossed over his broad chest, as he tried seeing what the source of the sound was. was it a fish? Frog? ... A woman?

The young man gasped softly, his body straightening up in surprise, when he saw her carelessly step out of the water, goosebumps spreading across her body when the cold breeze hit her skin. He opened his mouth to perhaps apologise or question her... yet not a word was able to escape his lips. And she didn't seem to particularly acknowledge him either. Instead, she just now stood next to him, calmly looking off into the distance, before her head slowly turned to look down at him.

The silence was suffocating, but Ajax's mind was racing with millions of thoughts at once. He should be looking away from her nude form. He should get up and... No, he can't do that either, as he was in a similar state. Yet he seemed to have more shame than her. So instead, he could only blink in surprise, when he noticed the scales, horns and cat-like slitted, intense eyes. She was no human, he then determined. A siren maybe? Was she going to rip him apart with the sharp teeth he spied under her lips? Was she going to dig her sharp nails into his heart and take it for herself? Was she going to seduce him and drag him into the depths of the lake as punishment for being so careless? Ajax fidgeted nervously. At least she was beautiful, he supposed. Breathtaking, in a literal sense, if you will.

And yet, his creative imagination came to an end, when the woman finally spoke up, still so unbothered by it all. "It's been a while, since a human decided to lose it's way into my territory..." She hummed, before just stepping out of the water and collecting the robes the harbinger had ignored. "... Have any of them survived to tell the tale?" He asked, trying to retain some semblance of his composure, which seemed impossible in her presence. He heard a small huff, perhaps a chuckle. "Some, yes." She mused, but her voice was oddly devoid of any emotions. Or perhaps, human emotions.

Childe dared to look behind him then, his eyes catching as her bare shoulder disappeared under the silk. "I won't go down so easily, if you happen to be in a bad mood today then." The man near challenged, but he was only met with a slight turn of her head in his directon, as she halted her movements. "I doubt, that you'll ever be a match forme, even in a good mood." She replied, before slowly walking away, her hands gently brushing against the tall grass. But her words only ticked off Ajax's challenging nature, which made him swiftly stand and give her a slight grin. "Then fight me. I assume you are an ancient creature, one with great power. I'd appreciate the challenge-" "-Maybe next time." Was all she said, as her form merged with the mist and disappeared soundlessly. Childe stood in the still water for a while after, his breathing a little laboured from the excitement that had filled him from her words alone.

So much for relaxation...

--

He visited the lake often afterwards, in hopes of seeing the woman again. And every now and then, he'd be lucky enough to do so, even if she never agreed to a fight. Instead, he'd spend his time speaking to her, although that was a little difficult at first due to her reserved nature. Something that Ajax was eventually able to break through as well. He learned three things about her over the few weeks he had spent here. Her name was (Y/N), she was once an ancient, powerful dragon... and she is married, unfortunately. To who exactly however, she refused to say. Not that it mattered anyways, since childe's brewing, selfish jealousy only saw it as a challenge too, if anything. Especially when he learned that your dear husband wasn't very attentive to you in the first place.

"Say, wouldn't your husband get quite angry, if he saw his wife and a foreign man sitting in a lake together... naked?" He one day asked, loosely gesturing between the two of them lazily to empathise his point. But he had learned over time, that dragons didn't care about nudity all that much. They techincally usually didn't wear clothes anyways, right? (Y/N) seemed to have learned some human customs at least regarding that, but her lake, her rules, he supposed. "He forgets I'm there most of the time. I doubt he'll care now." She hummed, her body laying across the warm sand. It was a hot day, the sun shining down and reflecting against the lakes still surface. Ajax kept his eyes away from her, mainly out of odd embarrassment, that he usually couldn't care to feel. But she made him feel alot of similar emotions against his will anyways.

"How can he forget you? I certainly think about you all the time." "About me? Or the duel you are itching to have?" He simply grinned knowingly in response. It was both, ofcourse. "I guessed so... but I'll have to disappoint you once again, I'm afraid. There is a meeting I have to attend with my husband." She muttered, sighing as she sat up with a slight frown. Ajax raised a brow, a silent question she understood. "Appearances are important to him." "I see... but what about your...?" He trailed off, eyes daring steal a glance at her horns, that made her nod. "Yes, I hide them around him... or other people for that matter." "Ah, so, I'm special then?" He teased, making her huff and pull on her thin robe. "Perhaps in a way, you are... but then again, you are in my domain." She said, which made the man smirk a little. He'll take that for now.

She took her leave then, a small wave and bow of her head, before she disappeared in the tall grass. Ajax sighed to himself and sunk deeper into the water. He also had a meeting to get to... but for now, he'll stay in your domain to relax in your comfort, that even lingered in your absence.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have done that..." He cursed, when he was running late from falling asleep in the lake. He didn't know how it happened and was quite irritated at himself. This was a mess, but knowing him, he'd always find a way out of everything. So when he arrived at the restaurant, he put on his best, apologetic smile, as he went to greet the man. "Ahaha.... my apologies, Mr. Zhongli! Last minute work came up, that I had to take care of and..." His words trailed off, when his eyes found the familiar gaze of the dragonic woman. He gulped, when it all dawned on him... but then the confusion settled in. Why would such a powerful, ancient dragon be with a funeral consultant? Unless... he didn't know? Yes, that made alot of sense, especially when she looked so human-like now. Somehting that irked Ajax deep down, for some reason.

"That's alright, things happen." Zhongli hummed, ushering the man to take a seat, when he absently waved a hand into the direction of his near stoic wife. "I hope you don't mind my wife joining us for the evening?" He asked, making the harbinger clear his throat. "No, ofcourse not... it's an honour.." (Y/N) seemed less affected by the whole ordeal and so he decided to reel himself in as well and go ahead with the meeting. Every now and then, his eyes would find her calm form picking at her food or idly looking off at a nearby wall. He also quickly noticed how... indifferent Zhongli was to her.

His eyes never trailed to her breathtaking form in her fancy, silken robes. He never spoke a word to her, never asked for her opinion. It irritated Ajax. If she was his, he'd show her off, boast bout the strong, powerful wife he had at his side. He'd never allow her to hide her dragonic features either. She was to be worshipped, just like she told him she once was... but then again, Childe was selfish. He'd rather just worship her all on his own.

And by the end of the evening, it took all his strength to not rip her away from the other man's unworthy grasp. What did he have, that Ajax didn't? But all he could really do, was watch the two walk away, her eyes meeting his briefly, before she disappeared after her husband in the dense crowd.

--

"Even after a nice evening, you can't seem to acknowledge me, Morax." (Y/N) said, although she knew her word would just fall on deaf ears. Especially when she used his old name, actual name. "I don't expect much else from you however.... Would you like it, if I simply disappeared into the depths of my lake forever? Far away from any civilisation, forever alone?" More silence, as the man simply took off his coat and shoes. He only responded when she used that pathetic human name of his. But she'd be damned, before she allowed herself to sink that low. "I will warn you, that I will not be alone however. I have perhaps found someoneelse. Someone who appreciates the war and carnage of love much more than you ever could have."

Zhongli stopped in his tracks, his head tilting ever so slightly in her direction. He wouldn't even spare her a last glance it seemed. He had fully given up on his past and his wife of eons with it. "Then leave." "Very well, Morax." She saw his jaw clench, a last dig at revenge, the sound of a ring hitting the marble floor blending in with the door falling shut.

--

The moon was high up in the sky, by the time (Y/N) arrived at her lake. As expected, Ajax was already resting in it and for a while it seemed. "It's a little late for a swim, don't you think?" He asked, making the woman hum in response, as she shrugged her clothes off and walked past him into the lake, until it reached her hips. "Says who? I make the rules here." The man sat up, his head tilted back a little to laugh softly. "My, when did you get so sassy? Seems like I'm rubbing off on you." "Perhaps so... why are you here?" She finally asked the obvious question, that earned her a smirk. But it was a dangerous one. "It's not for a duel, for once." He mused, the message clear.

This type of burning love he felt was forbidden and perhaps for a good reason. A dragon and a human couldn't possibly be together, and then there was Zhongli, who he still assumed was just a mere human. People would call him a homewrecker, or maybe they'd dare to blame you. But alas... when was Childe ever the one to back down from anything? Especially when he wanted something? It was a risky, uncharted part of life for him... yet that alone seemed to have worked out for him before with this lake, right? "I see... then what is it?" She asked carefully, eyes narrowing a little, when he chuckled.

"I'd like to take a leap of faith." "A leap of faith?" "Yes." His answers were clear and confident, filled with an arrogance only he perhaps could have. But that intriuged the woman, who hummed and reluctantly held her hand out to him then; A final test.

"Then come... Take a leap into the waters below with me, won't you?"

"Challenge accepted."

A/N: Alrighttt, my back hurts! And this took me about 3 hours to write... and I maybe went off the idea alot... BUT I know you'll appreciate it anyways. I hope everyone else enjoyed this too and thank you again for the request, dear!<33

Am I the only one who is actually very intriuged by the Sebastian and the Seelie Queen Better in Black story? They have such an interesting dynamic and I personally am very excited to see what Cassie does with them.

And of course there's a possibility that we could get some baby Ash content which is something that I absolutely need in my life.

AHH ABOUT YOUR POST WITH THE CARMINE AND KIERAN EDITS.

IM SO CURIOUS ABOUT THEIR STORY.. SO im guessing carmine is fezendipiti and kieran is pecharunt..? is this an au where they ARE the pokemon or just... like corrupted by them ? idk. and wheres the other two :000

FKJLDSLKF I AM SO INTRIUGED. I WANT THE LORE IF YA HAVE ANY TO GIVE🥺

OMG FIRST ASK! YIPPIE! *bursts with happiness* Ok so: The untold story of Pecharunt happens but Fezandipiti uses its last bit of strength and takes Pecharunt to the crystal pool for safety. In there, their wish was to be reborn together. So Fezandipiti is reborn into Carmine and Pecharunt is reborn as Kieran. Up till the Teal Mask events, their lives are normal but the personalities in Teal Mask are nothing but a front. Pecharunt almost forgets about Ogerpon till the story is retold. ('Kieran' feeling a ping of guilt cause he didn't want Ogerpon's human partner to die.) So when Ogerpon and Florian plan to get the masks from the hall, Kieran and Carmine beat them to it(moreso Carmine as he uses his special mist to charm the town), and Kieran gets mad at Carmine for executing the plan too early. Florian and Ogerpon find the two with the masks and confront them. Ogerpon then realizes that 'Kieran' and 'Carmine' are Pecharunt and Fezandipiti. Florian fights them and gets the masks back. Kieran just hums and tells the two to wait for a bit. As a token of apology to Ogerpon, Kieran tells the true tale of Ogerpon but doesn't reveal his and Carmine's true identities to the town. He knows the risks but at this point, Kieran knew too much time has passed and sees no point in stealing the masks anymore....however, what Florian said to Kieran drives the other angry yet he also becomes infatuated with Florian, as his desire to be loved coming back like a storm...he hates just how weak he is in his human form so he goes back to Blueberry Acadamy and becomes champion, just like in canon. He also trains with his Pokemon to be able to use his chains more and more. Over time Fezandipiti gets visually worried so he tries his best to get Pecharunt to stop this nonsense but fails. Pecharunt wants not only to beat Florian but make the human his 'most prized treasure'.Kieran tries to make his moves on Florian at night, as to avoid any suspicious/unwelcome interruptions with a calm demeanor and slight insanity, Florian resists but struggles while doing so. Of course, Pecharunt loses to Florian and just...gives up altogether (Taking the break)but gets called by the director along with Fezandipiti. Since their identities as Pokemon were revealed, the director asks them what will they do. Both just agree to keep living as humans and keep attending the academy. The director is hesitant but seeing as they didn't really break any major rules, allows them to roam the academic grounds. The elite 4 are really scared of Kieran after that but eventually, warm up to him again. (Except for Drayton, their rivalry remains). Kieran just does his own thing and gets jealous when Fezandipiti admits she's in love with Amarys(The steel-type elite 4) and begins to date her. He wishes he could have Florian but knows he's selfish and can't have it all so he just minds his own business.

Still tryna to figure out how the second half of the Indigo Disk(The trip to the deeper part of area Zero with Terapagos)will play out in this AU.

I can't wait to draw/write the story to the best of my abilities and I hope you look forward to it! Some things may change in the future but only time can tell really.
