Maybe I am? - ITZY - Yeji x M! Reader (+18)

tw: mommy kink, it was requested a while back but I forgot who it was but now here ya go, ya freak! Kidding! lowkey mommy Yeji is hot 🔥

"Aaahhh fuck." Was all you could say the moment you heard your door lock clicks.

You already know what's about to happen, as slow angry stomps come towards your room. Quick witted, you hide yourself under your blanket just as your door opens.

"Are you kidding me?!" Yeji was fuming as she approached your bedside but you're having none of it.

"You're not answering my calls or my text! If I hadn't called your workmates I wouldn't have found out that you're absent and guess what! Our anniversary is tom–... Oh." She was in the midst of lashing out but the moment her hand felt yours she knew it's not worth it to continue.

"H-hi." You weakly greeted and her angry expression changes into pure concern.

"W-what happened to you?" Her loud tone earlier was such a contrast to her current soft spoken voice at the moment.

"Hehe~!" You chuckled weakly as Yeji's eyes grew more concerned.

"Babe, you have to tell me what happened?"

"T-the thing is... I was hoping to finish a few extra work, before our anniversary trip so that I won't have to be bothered with work when we're finally together..." You answered.

"I guess I overdid it?" Ending with a chuckle Yeji gives you a bittersweet smile.

"Oh you!" She was holding her tears back as she threw herself onto you.

Capturing you into her warm embrace, you couldn't help but be thankful for how loving Yeji is. The two of you stayed like that for a good couple of minutes before Yeji finally detached herself from you.

"Now, forget the anniversary trip, let's just stay here." Yeji announces.

"B-but you're really looking forward to that trip-." You're about to insist but she really just silenced you with a single glance.

Yeji finally stood up and gave your room a quick scan realizing the mess that you're currently in, she sighs before giving you a disappointed look.

"What in the shit are you even eating?!" She asked as she collects the empty containers and starts cleaning.

"Mostly, fried chicken." You answered before trying to sit up only to be pushed back down by Yeji.

"No! You're resting there! I'll be taking care of you!" Said your girlfriend.

"What medicines have you taken?"

"How long since your last intake?"

"Have you been drinking water?"

"Why is there a soda can here?!"

"Have you even changed your clothes?"

"How about your bedsheet?"

Rapid firing questions came flying out of your girlfriend as she continues cleaning your room and you just sat there confused whether you'd be thankful or sorry that she's with you right now.

"Look at all this stuff! Babe?!"

"Are you even listenin-." That's when you've hit your breaking point.

"Stop."

"Babe, you're-?!" Yeji tries to reason out but you're not having any of it.

"Uugghhh! Babe, my head's already ringing then all of these questions you're throwing out, I can't even..." You can clearly see her scowling as you continue your defense.

"God, you sound like my mom!"

Yeji's movement was suddenly halted as you lay there in silence. All of a sudden the atmosphere becomes heavy and that's when you knew that you've completely fucked up.

"m... i... am..." She mumbled something but it's too hushed for you to understand at the moment.

"Yeji?" You called.

"I said, maybe I am!" She aggressively exclaimed.

"E-eh?"

Confusion starts to flood your mind as she just continues to clean your room silently. After finishing she then went on to the kitchen, you can hear utensils clinks as she works on something. A good few minutes past and suddenly an appetizing aroma tickles your nose.

The next thing you know, here comes Yeji with a steaming bowl in hand as she carefully waddles her inside your room.

You sat up as Yeji finally reached your bedside. She quickly pulled the bed tray and placed the dish she made.

"Say 'ah' baby!" You blushed and paused seeing Yeji trying to spoon-feed you.

"Ya!" Her adorably-annoyed voice calls you.

"I c-can f-feed myself." You awkwardly replied.

You shouldn't really be this awkward around her, specially this isn't the first time she's acted like this. If you're being honest you can say she'd always had this motherly instinct with her specially for you.

"Let me feed you baby!" And despite the wholesome act your mind never fails to drift into something else.

"Aaahh!" Finally letting her do her thing but your mind is still thinking sus-stuff and Yeji quickly notices with your sneaky grin.

"Don't you dare think of something funny."

"W-what?! You're the one who said you're gonna feed me." You teased.

"Yeah but I was only talking about the food." She answered but you're not having any of it.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

Yeji just scoffs before she continues feeding you. Despite the fact that your mind is still running rampant, your heart is still melting from Yeji's love as she just continues her motherly act.

"Babe, I'm don-." You're about to say that you've been filled but you've suddenly got cut off by your girlfriend.

"Excuse you, what did you just call me?"

"B-babe?" Yeji gives you a glare before shaking her head.

"Call me mommy."

"M-mom–?"

Choking on nothing but your own tongue while your girlfriend just sat there with a straight face, giving you the hints and care before she took something out from her pocket.

"Take this! I'll get you a glass of water."

Now your brain's just getting fried at this point, your headache just keeps getting worse and worse but nonetheless you took the medicine just as Yeji arrived with a glass of water.

"Aww, my baby boy's so good." At this point you're just about to give up and let your girlfriend do her thing.

Especially when she suddenly helps you lay down your head down on her lap to rest. Even when there's a million things running through your mind, mostly pain, you just can't deny how charming Yeji is.

"How are you feeling baby?"

"Better." The two of you smiled at each other before you completely shut your eyes and rest.

––––––––––

"Nngnhhg!" You groaned, stirring awake after feeling a warm wet sensation along your lower regions.

With your head still ringing and a still aching body you have no other choice but to stay still and see what's going on.

"O-oh did I wake you up?" Yeji asked, as your blurry eyes slowly adjust ever so slightly.

Once your eyes have completely adjusted, that's when you finally realized that you're actually stark naked, while your girlfriend has a huge smile on her face and a wet cloth in hand.

"W-wha–?!”

You panicked as Yeji reaches for your lower regions once more. With all your strength, you dodge her hands and that obviously angered your girl.

"What the fuck?!" She bursts.

"What the fuck?!" You echoed.

Then there's nothing but pure silence as the two of you gave each other an angry look. With Yeji even raising her eyebrows.

"HUH?!" Your girlfriend tries once more to reach for you with a towel.

"HUH?!" But you're quick with your dodge.

"What are you doing?!" Yeji's temper has reached its peak.

But you're not gonna back down that easy. "I could ask you the same."

And once again it was a stalemate. You suddenly catch a glimpse of your boxers near your girlfriend's arm, however Yeji also notices this and quickly throws it away, perhaps if you weren't in a such handicap you could've gotten to it a little earlier.

"What the hell?! Babe–?!" You weren't able to finish your little fit as Yeji placed a fairly powerful slap on your cheek.

"Excuse your tongue?! What did you just call me?!" And there she goes with her role play once again but you're not really in the mood to argue with it so...

"M-mommy?!" With that Yeji gives you her brightest smile before going back to your concern.

"I was cleaning you. Look you're dirty right around here~." She then grabs a hold of your member who's a bit flaccid from all of the confusion.

"See?!" Just as then Yeji tries to pump you up to your full length.

"Uugghh." You honestly don't know if its your headache or just the sheer pleasure from Yeji's hand but you unconsciously moaned and that only encouraged her to double her efforts.

"Does my baby boy like it?!" She asked as if there's any other way you'd have it.

"Y-yes."

Another flash of her smile quickly gives you an idea. Since Yeji is already having fun. You should also have yours.

"M-mommy take your clothes off too, please?" You asked with your best needy tone that hits your girlfriend's soft spot right on target.

"I-is that what my baby wants?!" How the heck is she acting all shy after taking advantage of yout weakened state and still be cute.

"Y-yes mommy."

After seeing the eagerness in your eyes, Yeji decides to give you what you want, need, anything.

"Fine..." Her tone shifts into something more assertive.

"After all, a good mommy will give her baby's needs but in return. Mommy wants something back."

And there again, you're on the ropes with whether you actually want to continue with this role play.

"W-what does m–mommy want?" You asked.

"A reward." She replied with a devious smile, knowing Yeji that reward she's currently asking for, she'll get it, no matter what it takes.

"Shall we start baby?!" Yeji asks before she starts stripping gingerly right in front of you.

She's clearly enjoying you squirm naked on the bed as she takes all of her leisurely time just to even get her hoodie off.

In this little game the two of you are playing you've already lost before it even begin as your rod has grown to its fullest; "M-mommy, please!"

"Needy little boy aren't ya?"

Yeji's insults are like adding salt on the wound and rubbing it. The way she's rubbing her two fingers in between her clothed folds.

It's sinful, infuriating, and yet so fucking hot the way she's getting off on just her fingers while your laying there with your enraged member is out.

But can you really blame her? After all you're still sick and incapable of any movements that will not give you a jolting headache.

"Mmmhhhhmmm~!" God! Are those the harps of heaven or something. This jealousy of yours against those fingers that's currently sending waves of pleasure to your girlfriend is really starting to reach its wits end.

And after everything Yeji has said being desperately needy is the last thing you should be doing but to hell with that, your mommy is half naked in front of you with her digits circling her ever so wet snatch as you've finally reached your limit.

"M-mommy, let... let m-me help you with that."

A victorious look on Yeji's face lets you know that she has won. Then and there she finally gets rid of her damped underwear, tossing it aside to god knows where.

You fixed your position as she towers over your face, her drenched core is right above you, like a crop who's been in drought for so long. You laid there waiting for at least a drop to fall in your mouth.

But you've got the next best thing as Yeji decides to put an end to all of her teasing and sit right on your face. No sane man would wish to be somewhere else than where you are now.

As your tongue does its best to dive deeper into Yeji's folds, her moans grows louder and louder as well. The combination of her heavenly whimpers and her smooth milky legs proved to have been too much for you.

Perhaps you should've seen it coming, it was pretty obvious from that smile earlier that she had on her face as she inches her core closer and closer to your face but it's all too late as breathing becomes harder and harder, the lack of oxygen in your lungs caused you to panic internally.

You tried tapping Yeji's thighs only to have her squeeze your head even tighter. With no other option, you just did your best to eat her out to her orgasms.

Lick...

Bite...

Slobber...

You could've sworn, you saw the gates of heaven just as she climaxes. Her back arches before she lets out a long shaky gasps finally removing herself from your face before collapsing right next to you.

"Haaa~ good boy!" Yeji's hands placed on your cheek as her thumb softly comforts you from the near death experience.

Meanwhile you're laying there trying to catch your breath, even being drenched in her juice. Yeji's satisfied smile was enough for you to forgive her as you finally smiled back at her.

"Now, I think it's time to reward my baby boy for doing a great job to mommy. Am I right?"

With no words to express your excitement you could only nod but that was more than enough for Yeji to be back in full strength as she pushes herself back up straddling you by the waist.

As your member brush along the folds her wet core. This elicits a sultry moan from Yeji and as you're about to pull her into a kiss. She all of a sudden impales herself with your rod.

And again your ears are blessed with her heavenly vocals. It almost did the trick bringing to to the brink of your pleasure, luckily Yeji stops for a second to adjust to your size.

"O–oh my big baby boy!"

"M-mommy!"

Few seconds has passed and she starts gyrating her hips.

"F–fuuuuckkk! Baby~! Holy fuck! You feel good inside mommy!"

Not even five pumps in and she's already a moaning mess. Yeji suddenly starts bringing her ass higher to the point where only the tip of your member remains, just as then she slams herself down, making you disappear inside her.

"M-mommy!" You cry out.

"Yes, baby boy~?! mhmm!”

"Kiss, please?"

Assuming that your mommy will be charitable, you shut your eyes and anticipated a little mouth to mouth action but instead you suddenly felt a sting on your cheek rigth after hearing a whip.

Your eyes jolts open as you see Yeji's disappointed look on her face. She even sigh as she just resumes her rodeo on you.

"W-why mommy?! Why'd you hit me?!" You asked.

"Because you're too needy! Plus, you mommy still haven't given mommy's request."

Never in your mind you'd think Yeji will be complaining about how needy you sound but she is in control so you can't do anything about it and your body is still incapable of doing much.

"W-what does m-mommy want?" The desperation of your tone is enough to please Yeji, as she brings her lips closer to your ear.

"I want you to fill mommy up. Until then, no kisses for you, alright?!" You aggressively nod as she starts bouncing even harder.

Now it's torturous, you're currently laying there, your mommy bouncing vigorously on your length. Obviously, you'd want this to last for forever if possible but you also want to savour that lips of hers which are now pooling with her spit.

Turning things to worst it seems like Yeji is actually getting off more seeing you struggle to make a choice between relishing the feeling of her folds clasping your member or just succumb to the pleasure and give your mommy what she wants.

"Does my baby boy needs some milk?" Like hell you'd deny her nubs in your mouth.

Yeji lowers her torso towards you and her perfect breast lining up with your face. Like a predator with a clear target in sight, your mouth latches to your mommy's pinkish little nubs.

From a small bite, to a suck, to a complete feast, switching from bead to bead, as it sends Yeji into another plane, evidently from her songs of pleasure. She's so perfect and you're fucking blessed.

Yeji's nails clawing away on your head as she tries to get some sort of outlet for her overwhelming arousal since her cries of pleasure that's flooding your room isn't enough.

"F–fuck!" At last your limit is within reach as you feel your balls tighten.

Yeji's not that different either as she increased the pace of her humps even more, which you're sure shouldn't be possible for any human.

"M-mommy~" You announced.

Your mommy responds by slamming her ass down so violently, impaling herself deeply with your rod and her walls closed in on your member.

"Y-yes! Ye–! Fill mommy up baby boy! That's–fucking good!" Yeji's final words as she herself reached her own climax.

Loads and loads of your seed pumping into her womb as her juice mixes with yours upping the heat even more as she finally went limp on top of you.

The two of you gathered yourselves, catching your breath and riding off of your orgasms. Once calmed she slids her way in your arms pulling it over hers for a spooning position.

"Mmhhhmm~!" A hum of satisfaction from Yeji as she closed her eyes relishing the feeling of your seeds flowing inside her.

"Yeji?" You called.

"Y-yes baby boy?"

"Happy Anniversary." You greeted.

"Happy Anniversary baby." She answered.

"Babe." You followed.

"One more thing."

"You didn't really came here because you're worried." Yeji was silence by your claim.

"You went here because you're horny, am I right?" You continued.

"Maybe I am." Was all she could ever say.

You Like Animals More Than Humans | Yandere Drabbles

LOV-Too many times have you excused yourself from the League of Villains’ meetings in order to carry off your secret activities. Now Tomura didn’t want to pry but your secrecy was suspicious and what better way to find out what you’re doing than by peer pressure.

You walked back into the bar in your undercover clothes trying to be quiet.

“What ya sneakin’ around for?”

You didn’t jump, you already knew they were there, you just didn’t expect them to all be awake. You took off your shoes and left them near the door; respect was a first. You settled at the bar despite the confrontational poses of everyone in the group. You’d request your typical bottle of vodka and head to bed ignoring the suspicious glares of your team.

The next day you snuck out once again casually jogging until you reached the dark embankment under a bridge. You meticulously moved some boxes to reveal a clutch of puppies and kittens. During your nightly jogs you’d find strays and collect them in a homemade shelter where they could survive throughout the day when you can come and feed them. Burying yourself in the wriggling masses of the infant creatures taking time to feed each and everyone of them. Once again you felt their presence but you said nothing if they wanted to kill you for your love of these animals that was fine. What wasn’t fine was if they decided to hurt these creatures. Instead they seemed to guard the bridge scaring off some homeless people every now and then. As you moved to leave them hidden by boxes, Tomura intervened, fighting the blush that climbed up his ears.

“You can bring them with us if you want.”

You stopped to think for a moment. Would they truly be safer with you–a villain? You re-uncovered the boxes to see the faces and hear the babes on full blast. Their home was with you even if it was a dangerous place.

“Let’s go home, my loves.”

The surrounding villains all resisted the words they thought were directed for them happily heading home. Tomura was the only one who was actually looking at who that was directed for and it was at the creatures mindlessly crawling around the box you were now holding. He couldn’t deny that he would be willing to take those words out of context in his imagination.

Tomoe~You had expressed your love for animals quite openly, fawning over his ears and asking to cuddle his tail. He figured this was the case for only furry animals. He was wrong. When Misaki, the white snake familiar, you amicably invited the weirdo into his home.

“(Y/n)-chan!!! I came!”

“Ohmigosh!! Hi!!”

You greeted him like you did your excessively loud friends hugging him and bouncing at the same time. Making himself at home you offered him the food he cooked and completely ignored him for this snake.

“Hey so the first time I met you, you were that snake right?”

“Yes.What about it?”

“Could you…maybe turn into it now.”

Tomoe was listening by the door watching your silhouettes merge along the wall. It becomes silent and he wonders if this is a decent time to accuse the snake of something nefarious. Prepared to defend his intrusion he slid the door open to find an atrocious scene.

You wrapped in the concerning form of Misaki as the white snake. You seemed to be silently cooing, rubbing your face and cheeks on the scales of Tomoe’s enemy. He wasted no time prying off the snake who tried so hard to stay latched onto you.

“Get out of here you vermin!”

“AAAhHH”

Sending his fox fires to ‘escort’ the intruder out he held you against him of course overpowering your weak human struggling. He wanted to hold you longer, to ejoy how much lighter you were for him but he could tell he was in for an earful.

“TOMOE!!! HOW COULD YOU?! Youweresomeantohim.Ireallywantedtojustenjoysomescales-”

POOF

Like clockwork the puff of smoke on Tomoe’s body revealing his tail and waving it enticingly infront of your face. Immediately any animosity on your face was replaced by pure enjoyment as you curled around the thick silver fox’s tail.

He’d never admit it but he was pleased that he can surely satisfy you better than that snake. If it really came down to it he is your favorite animal and if he wasn’t he’d easily fix that. After all he is your familiar and if he couldn’t make you fall in love with only him he’ll just do what he did to Misaki. Chase them away because you were his, and if you loved animals so much he’d fulfill that desire.

Inosuke Hashibara- “PUT THAT RABBIT DOWN RIGHT NOW!!” You were on a separate mission with the boarish demonslayer. Kagaya suggested that the two of you work together; he didn’t specify why. You suspected it had to be the vast knowledge of animals and the fact that you admired them so much, he must have figured you would be more patient with this boy since he grew up with animals. He was wrong. Since the demon was picking off travelers in these intensely wooded forests you wanted the two of you to stick together, more likely than not this demon was one of illusion able to draw innocent victims in without a moment to struggle. Instead your partner was terrorizing the local inhabitants of the forest insisting it was hunting time.

“Quiet (m/Y/n)! You’ve almost scared off dinner!” He continued to squeeze this little rabbit in his insanely tight grip. You began to creep up behind him as he tried to skip off excited with his new catch. You jumped to tackle the beautiful boy only being able to latch onto the arm with the rabbit.

“You’re challenging me!? Perfect!! Fight me!!”

Releasing the rabbit to wrestle with you. Flipping you onto the ground before belly flopping ontop of you to be kicked off by you who was cradling the rabbit all throughout. This would continue with you and Inosuke tumbling over one another over hills, meadows, before coming to a stop at the mouth of a cave.

“AAAhhh In-Inosuke! If you don’t stop it-Hey! Right now I’ll-”

“Do what?! Beg for my forgiveness? You’re mine!”

“Eww could you PUHLEASE have your intercourse elsewhere?! This is sacred ground!”

It was the demon, shrouded in shrubbery and cringing at the sight of you.They seemed to miss your uniform and Inosuke’s swords. Swiftly you two untangle around eachother working to surround the demon with his relentless slicing and your power strikes that ultimately ended the demons life. As predicted a few trees had fallen within the struggle and you did a quick scan of the forest confirming its clarity–Wait! The Bunny!!

A tree was already careening down on the little mammal who looked innocently up at you as if to solidify just how unknown this death would be. You dived to save the rabbit cradling them into your chest expecting to take the brunt of the blow. Instead the feeling of being pulled and cradled yourself in the arms of none other than Inosuke Hashibara.

“Oh uhm thank you.”

“Of course I, King of the Mountain, would save my stupid mate even as they rescued our dinner.”

Wait mate?!

“Dinner!?”

Chapter two of To Feed a Tiger Forces of Will.

To Feed a Tiger.Forces of Will

Alfonse x Summoner, Alfonse X Summoner X Lif

And one sided (as of now) Dimitri X Summoner X Alfonse X Lif

Triggers for talk about mental health. It is Feral Dimitri after all. Mentions of death and depressive thoughts.

Sexual Harassment and maybe more than that.

Incest. (Freyr and mentions of Freya).

I thought about making my Summoner gender-less to fit all kinds of genders, but there is a part of the story where it becomes a necessity for them to be female.

A/N At the end of the chapter.

Chapter 2

Alfonse did not return that morning…

The morning after the meeting with Lif, when Alfonse was suppose to return passed and Sharena came instead. She said little to you, except that prince Hrid had come to visit Fjorm. Sharena and Fjorm left aster breakfast. They didn’t even take Ylgr with them and that was weird. You were suppose to go into town instead of Sharena that day with Alfonse to oversee the care for the refugees. You go to talk to Anna and learn she has gone with Sharena and Fjorm without telling you. Luckily for you Anna had left her most efficient Captain in charge and instructions. Zelgius is there to help too.

You decide to take one of the heroes with you to town and meet the soldiers and other heroes in charge of the operation there. First you go to both Robins and ask them to run things for you as planned with Soren so you can go.

You are about to go talk to M Grima and King Marth when F Dimitri comes from the direction of the tree house and asks to talk to you.

-Of course. Say! I am going into town and I may be gone some hours. If you want to come, we can talk on the way. I need someone of trust to accompany me.- He seemed to think about it.- I mean you don’t have to do it. I am just going to be overseeing the operation at the back of the warehouse as to not get in the way if I am not helping. I need to count the supplies and to asses what to buy and get for the next shipment.

-I see. I will go with you.- He says and you two take off.

You wait for him to open up to you and tell you what he said you needed to talk about, but he asks about the operation and then about the “Victory Gardens” where the heroes were growing the food. He tell you how relaxing it is to work on the fields and grow plants.

-Say, Dimitri. What did you want to talk about? -He looks sideways at you and keeps quiet a moment more.

-I… King Dimitri came to see me the other day. He came to offer me to work together in the fields with his companion Marth.- You can see that he had changed the subject, but this is good information and if he wants to share it, then it is progress.

-I see. How do you feel about that? Are you interested?

-Marth seems like a good person…he is good for Dimitri.

-Oh so you noticed they are together.

-I can see it in their eyes when they are together. I will work with them.

-Good. Just be careful with the bees. If you leave them be, they will not sting you, but some people just won’t leave them alone. Then they wonder why they get stung.

The whole trip to town went on like this. He would often ask you questions about your world and you try not to talk about difficult stuff and so you talk about music and how technology works and the difference between modern medicine, healing and magic. All in all it was a pleasant trip.

When the work was over it had taken you longer than anticipated and you had to get some food from the inn and eat it with him in a sort of picnic.

You were on the way back when you hear a yell of help in the fields by the road. You go to see if someone needs help but Dimitri stops you. He goes to find out and you stay on guard just in case. He tell you to run if he thinks you are in danger. He will make time for you to escape. Instead you hear him call out your name.

You go to meet him and find him looking at a woman who is fallen on the dirt by the road. Her belly is swollen and her face red from pain and strain. She is having contractions.

- Please, it is coming! Please help me! - She ask you and you kneel to her feet while Dimitri stands there shocked into silence.

-Do you live near? Do you want us to take you home or something?- You ask her while checking her vital like the healers taught you.

- No my hou….grrr…aaahhh- She is cut off by her yell and you take the this time to check under her dress. With the light of the afternoon sun you can tell the bay is indeed coming and you can see the crown of the head. There is no time to taker to the castle, as it is still far away. She won’t make it that far.

-Dimitri. Listen, the baby is coming and I need your help. You can say no because there will be a lot of blood and I don’t want you to..

-I will do it. What do you want me to do.- He had been standing looking lost at the woman, but now he was full on attention and alert.

-Help me stand her up and then let her use you as a support.-

-Standing up?- He asks while helping her stand. She also looks at you skeptically.

-It is going to be easier on her and the baby.- You tell him. He nods and help you stand her up.

-The baby will get better oxygen supply and she will not strain herself as much. That is what the healers taught me any way.- You say and you lie because you saw that somewhere on the internet, but they need the reassurance.

She finally stands up and he uses his arms in a kind of wide hugging position for the woman to hold herself steady. Meanwhile you take off your summoner coat off and ask her to breath as normally as possible through the nose and then let it out through her pursed lips as if whistling.

- Don’t push now! Wait for the pain of the contraction OK! Ready Dimitri?- You ask him and he nods. The contraction comes and the woman hangs off of Dimitri’s arms and body, pushing with all her might.

-Keep breathing! Don’t breath through your mouth!- You say leaning under her open legs. The head is almost out and you know you will need something to clean the baby once they come out. You see nothing and take off your blue shirt. Dimitri looks at you questioningly. Another contraction.

-OK let the breath out and PUSH! The head is almost out!- and indeed the head is out and you take the coat and lay it under the legs.

Another wait and the next contraction comes. You take the shirt and clean the baby’s face and nose of liquids and blood, and as she is still pushing a little of the shoulders can be seen now.

Another contraction and you help the baby by pulling at the the head and shoulders gently and carefully. On the next contraction the baby is completely out.

- OH! The baby is coming!- You are able to get the baby safely on the summoner’s coat. The baby starts crying loudly as soon as he is out. There is still some liquid and blood coming out and you remember the placenta is coming out too.

-You can let her lie down now Dimitri. Let me finish cleaning the baby. Congratulations! It’s is a boy! And by the sound of those lungs he is very healthy !!

After the placenta is out and the baby clean you have to check the mother for a hemorrhage. You check her pulse and it looks kind of low…wait is that normal?

-How long had you been waiting for help?

-I don’t know…a long time…my water broke and I… the sun… it was after midday.-So she was bleeding and dehydrated too…nice.

-Dimitri please lend me your cloak and wrap it around her. Can you please carry her? We need to take her to the healers at the castle. I will be caring the baby. Dimitri do me a favor and talk to her too. Don’t let her go to sleep. Here drink this water Mam.- You say that all smiling and give her your bottle of water to drink. It is a just in case but shouldn’t new mothers have higher blood pressure and faster pulse? She seemed cold and sleepy and it may have been due to her exhaustion but just in case you tell Dimitri softly to hurry up.

During the walk the woman seems to liven up and starts asking questions and answering them as well. She was actually the wife of one of the soldiers currently at the castle, and was walking back into town after coming to tell him the baby may be coming soon. The baby seems tried as well and you shush him and sing a quiet lullaby to help him sleep until she can breastfeed him.

When you get to the castle you tell the guards to send for the father and tell him to go to the infirmary. They probably saw you from afar because they were already waiting for you with a first aid kit and a stretcher. Dimitri informed them he could finish the job and take her to the infirmary himself, without wasting more time. All of this while still walking.

You are walking inside when Alfonse comes out running towards you with brows knitted and worried. He was about to say something but focuses on the bundle of bloody summoner’s coat on your arms and your state of undress.

-Alfonse! Look we had a baby!- You tell him excitedly. He looks confused for a second and then an indescribable emotion comes to his face. Yo notice your mistake and rewind. - I mean I had it. No! What am I saying? I delivered it! She had it and Dimitri was awesome!- Dimitri had kept on walking to the infirmary. You notice Alfonse’s eyes look moist and a little red now and you are about to ask him, what is wrong, when he finds his voice.

-What? What happened! They told me you came back all bloodied and carrying a wounded! I thought you had been ambushed!

-Oh we were coming back when half way through we heard her cries for help. She must have heard my horrible singing from afar heh,heh!- He made a face at that. He didn’t like when you made derogatory jokes about yourself. You were trying to catch up to Dimitri.- Dimitri went to see if it was safe or an ambush and he called me over. She had been there since after midday Alfonse! Was no one patrolling the road?

-I will find out. - He said in a cold tone.

-So I asked Dimitri to get her to stand so she can deliver it easier and he made such a great job of being her support! Of course she did all the hard work, I just caught the baby in my coat and cleaned it. Still it was awesome! Alfonse I think she is very dehydrated and I thought she may be having low blood pressure and that’s very dangerous.- He loos at you smiling fondly.- Sorry I am very exited if you can’t tell.- And you laugh. The baby starts crying.- Oh Alfonse ! See what you did? You woke him up with all the noise!

- What did I do?- But he sees that you are kidding with him and smiles.

You all enter the infirmary and they take the lady to a bed to check out. Alfonse stays out in the waiting area while you take the baby to the other healers to be checked out. Your coat is probably ruined and you are all bloodied. You go to the toilet and wash off the blood and return to be checked for disease as the healers told you. You never know what you can catch from blood. There is no HIV in Summit but there are always diseases you can catch from blood. They give you a spare gown to wear. They inform you that the woman was indeed very dehydrated and had lost a lot of blood as well. It was a good thing you had found her in time or it may not have gone right. The problem now was that she was not lactating and the baby needed feeding. The husband had come and was now trying to talk to the lady who was being administered some potions to replenish her blood supply and to help with lactation.

You check on Alfonse and he is talking to Dimitri. When you are about to join a healer comes out and asks to talk to you. The baby will need a wet nurse or two. In her state the mother would not be able to lactate as of now. She will need at least three days for the potion to take.

-we can search for one at town but it will be until tomorrow. We can administer a potion to someone to be a wet nurse for the night and the effect will wear off by the day after tomorrow.

You go through your list of heroes that have been mothers and may want to help and wonder for a while how cute it would be to see Lady Camilla nursing a child too. - I can send for Lady Mikoto and probably Arete? See if they can help. I mean I have never done this, but I can try if they are not available…I mean that is kind of a lot to ask of a hero…

They let you take the baby and he while they tend to the mother and locate a hero that may help or even a servant (most of them are older women who may not be up to the task). You wonder how it would feel to have a baby suckle at your breast. The baby starts crying. Here’s when a pacifier would be of great use! He sounds hungry.

<<Well….no body is here…>>

But do you use a finger or …

<<What the hell! No one is going to know. They will know….No one’s gonna know….how will they know… Here goes>>

It feels so funny!…But at the same time…can you imagine one of these, but yours and Alfonse’s? And look at that, he is quiet.

<<I mean, there is nothing coming out but at least he is quiet. Oh you poor thing!>>

-_______ Can I talk to you?What are you doing?- Alfonse…. Of course…At first he looks confused and then he can see part of your breast and his face turns redder than a tomato.

-Umm…They are looking for a wet nurse for tonight until they get one at town…I just wanted to know if I could volunteer…- You lie. You take the time to fix yourself but the baby starts crying again and you put the nipple back inside the little mouth.

-We have servants for that.

-Well he may as well use them, since no one else is!- Oh that sounded so wrong and it makes you laugh when he turns to you and makes a face of incredulity. You take this time to wiggle your eyebrows because you are already way deep and there is nothing else to loose and no one to save you.

-_______!- He covers his face with his hands and collapses on a chair. You approach him and stand with one of your legs between his knees. He looks up and the look he gave you, made you shiver. You feel like at any moment he will do something and you imagine yourself sitting on his lap while he kisses you, baby in arms and all. Instead he closes his eyes and turns away from you.

- I came to tell you Runa wanted to talk to you. She already talked to Dimitri.

-Who’s that?You can look, I covered myself.- He still will not look up.

-The child’s mother. You didn’t asked her name?

-I was a little busy telling her how to breath and push and the blood and you know. I forgot.- You walk away from him.

-________. I need to talk to you. Later.- He gave you a look that you only saw when things got very bad. In that moment you saw a lot of his father in him.

-OK.

-….I didn’t know you received training on aiding childbirth.- He asks, curious about it.

-I didn’t. I had good internet…umm I saw some videos about it and they looked interesting. You never know when you will end up using something like that. To be fair I never expected to use it. If someone had told me this morning this was going to happen I would not have believed them. It sounds far fetch to me. -<And now I had my breast inside a baby’s mouth in front of the man I love. How is that for far fetched?>

-You never cease to amaze me.- He looks at you with a warm expression and it makes you blush.

-_______! I heard….Oh! You are …. breastfeeding a baby…- Fjorm comes inside the room with a look of utter horror and then it turns into confusion and later to …. She looks at you again and her eyes water. - Nifl! I thought you were injured! I better tell the other heroes before they have a breakdown. You look…adorable…-She says and turns to leave. You can hear her crying. Oh crap! She didn’t even let you say a word. Didn’t even ask who’s baby that was. You chalk that up to her thinking she will not live long enough to have a baby and it makes you so sad.

You turn around to look at Alfonse and he is looking at you the same way Lif did last night. But why?

Sakura takes this time to come in and inform you they have a volunteer and she take the baby now crying his lungs out while you are left worrying about three people now seeing you “breastfeeding” a baby that was not yours…The ground could open up and swallow you and you would thank it.

Alfonse accompanies you to talk to Runa, who alongside her husband thanked you for your help. Runa had seen many of the heroes on the way in and does not know who Alfonse is and he did not want you to introduce him. That is until…

-My darling Brant is always talking about you and our prince. I remember seeing him once when he was a little boy and the royal family came when this was but their Summer retreat. He was so very cute! He must be a very handsome man right now.

-He is. I can tell you that I have met hundreds of people and heroes and he is by far the most handsome of all.- You say and know he is getting flustered.

- I never thought I would get to meet you in person Summoner ______ and here we are. Brant says you are so nice and clever and I think he came up short! Our prince better propose before one of those dashing heroes snatches you first.

You laugh at that and feel your face heat up. Brant, who was Runa’s husband was beet red looking at Alfonse who was also beet red. Sharena who was standing at the back started giggling.

-Nah they’ll return me in a week tops heh, heh,heh!

-That’s not what Claude would say, or Seth or Chrom or Leon. Oh and Zelgius…-Says Sharena in a singsong voice.

-Not every one is as patient as Alfonse.

-Well, I grew up with Sharena…- He said and turned to face Sharena who laughed harder at his red face. Runa seemed to catch up to what this meant and gasped.

-Oh Your highness! How could I not recognize you! Please forgive me I meant no disrespect.

-Please do not worry about this. Concentrate in getting better for your child’s sake. It was my fault for not being polite and introducing my self or my sister.

-Yes it was his fault don’t worry about it! I am princess Sharena and I wanted to congratulate you on your beautiful baby!How are you going to call him?- Sharena comes like the friendly and energetic girl that she is, and stands by the side of the bed. Runa is taken aback at the difference between the two royal siblings. She smiles and takes the princess’ hand.

-Thank you your highness! We thought about it and we will like to name him Dimitri like the prince of Faerghus who helped us today. We talked to him and he gave us permission.

-Dimitri! That is a beautiful name! I really like it. All our Dimitris are great warriors.

-Sharena I think it is time to let her rest. She needs to recover for the potion to take effect. -He says to Sharena; then turns to the new parents.-Congratulations to both of you. You have brought us the happiness we needed in these times of turmoil. Thank you. - Alfonse say in a solemn tone but smiling.

You all leave and Alfonse asks you to meet him in your shared study after dinner and you agree. This means Alfonse is not going to be present at dinner and so you take your food and take it to share it with Dimitri.

-Dimitri I wanted to congratulate you on your job today! You were great.-You tell him once you are done eating.

-My hands were awash with blood…but for once it was the blood of life, not death. It brings me peace and happiness. As if water had cleansed my dirty hands.- He says this, while he looks at his hands.- Is there truly forgiveness for what I have done?

-It is the miracle of life. I feel the same way. I am sure we can not only repent for our sins but also make up for them. This may be one way.- You take his hands in yours, but he goes to lay his head on your shoulder. He starts to cry and you embrace him and pull him to you. He needs this and you will be there for him.

-Let it all out. I am here for you.- You caress his head and hair like a mother to her child and he hold on to you like a lifeline.

When he lets go he tells you smiling that the family has asked him for permission to name their child like him.

-I feel happy about it, but I can not help but think…I do not want him to fare the same as I. At least he has good parents. I am afraid to not measure up to his expectations.

-Well. You are right about the parents. And he is way too young to expect something of you; except probably to carry him when he wants to be held. You got time to heal and grow… and become a good example.

-I will.

He left a little after that, but before he left he gave you one of the crystal necklaces to find the tree house. He trusted you enough to have you near.

You returned to your room and found Alfonse already in the study. It looked like he was drinking tea, but it was cold and forgotten. He had lit the fireplace even though it was not cold. He was watching the fire when you found him. His violin discarded on his desk.

-Alfonse? What is wrong?- Now that the excitement of the day was gone you could see clear signs of distress in the prince. His eyes looked red and tired. At first he tried to hide them, but he faced you with a sight.

-Sit down. - He tell you and you sit in the chair across from him.- When we arrived at the palace. Prince Hrid was already there along with Princess Leagyarn. The Queen was about to call us over when we sent her the message that we were coming to visit.- You ascent to tell him to go on.- I already gave my report to Commander Anna about this.

-It sounds serious.- He nods and still not looking at you.

-Both Leagyarn and Hrid report, there are rumors of war. Places left totally destroyed by unknown forces. There are travelers form different realms seeking refuge in Muspell and Nifl. They think this war is coming our way.

You gasp at that. Those are bad news indeed. You had enough problems with what had happened in the past. You were still recovering from Surtr for goodness sake! And you have Embla, to deal with.

- As you know our resources are not limitless and we need help. If this is true; it will be disastrous. The Queen and the other two royals have formed a council and decided to form a treaty…- There was a knock at your door and Alfonse just gave a tired sight and rubbed his face with his hands. You went to open the door to find Fjorm. She looked as tired as Alfonse and now you knew why…or at least part of it.

-May I come in? I…Alfonse asked me to be here for the conversation.-You let her in and she looked like she truly didn’t want to be there.

-I was just getting to the treaty.- Alfonse tell her without looking at her. She nods and sits on one of the chairs father way from both of you.

-Hrid...had the idea of cementing our treaty with a personal tie, not only of friendship but familial. He means a marriage of both our Kingdoms. Leagyarn did not need such ties. She trusted our word alone.- Fjorm flinches at that.

-Who…

-Fjorm and I are getting married…- He says with finality and Fjorm starts crying. He does not meet your eyes. You feel like the floor is sinking and thank God that you are already sitting down. The air is not getting into your lungs and are getting dizzy, but you remember to breath again.

-I’m so sorry _____! It is all my fault!- You hear Fjorm say between sobs.

-Wait…your fault? Why?…I thought you were in love with someone already! Was it him you loved all along? Did you do this behind my back?- You are crying now not only of sadness but anger of being betrayed by one of the people you like best. She knew you loved Alfonse .Fjorm cries harder and you can hear her apologies mixed up with her sobs.

-______ let her be. It really is not her fault. She sacrificed herself again to save us!

-Oh by marring you?

- Hrid wanted YOU! He wanted YOUR hand in marriage! He is angry at her now, for speaking out against it and asking to marry me instead. She is in love with you. Can’t you see!- Alfonse says waving a hand towards Fjorm. There is anger in his voice.

-What? Me? Why?

-What do you mean why? For the same reason Claude loves you, Corrin , Eliwood ,Camilla, Lif and I and now Hrid.- He stands and start pacing around the room. He could have gone on with the list because he thinks every hero loves you as he does.

-Hrid? He doesn’t even know me. We’ve seen each other only a couple times! That is not love!- It is true he comes to see his sisters twice a year and stays a couple of days, but he usually spends the time with his sisters at town, or at the resort. You welcome him and have dinner with him and the heroes, but that is it.

Alfonse stops walking and looks at Fjorm and when he sees that she can’t stop crying he explains.

-Fjorm writes to him constantly and has told him everything about you. What you do, how you do it, what you say and even how you sing. He sees you through her love’s eyes and now fancies himself in love with you. She …volunteered to marry me, because she knows she will die and then…- He could not finish the sentence. You look at Fjorm. She avoids your eyes and covers her face with her hands. You go and hug her. She flinches a little.

-Please forgive me…I …the shock did not let me think strait.

-It is my fault! Please don’t hate me _______. When I die he will be free.

-Fjorm I don’t want you to die! And I don’t want to think about you dying so I can be with him! There has to be another way!

-We have tried to talk our way out of this, but there is no…

-Hrid is a good man _____. He just thinks that if you two are not together he may have a chance at winning your heart. And _____, he will not relent. I know him.

-Doesn’t he know he is hurting you as well?

-He doesn’t know I am in love with you. He thinks the one I love is Alfonse and I am taking advantage of the treaty to marry him. -’Just like you had though’ she doesn’t say. That must have stung quite a lot coming from you.- There is no convinsing him of the truth. I know you don’t love me the way I do, and never will, but you have given me so much that seeing you happy made happy. I did not want this for you. I didn’t want to hurt you, but if you marry my brother, he will never let you go and then you will never be happy with Alfonse.

- I see…

-There is going to be a ball in two weeks to make the engagement official. Hrid will be there to…- You see Alfonse’s ungloved hands tighten. The knuckles are white with strain and it may be a trick of the light but you can see a line of red coating the white skin.

-I should go now.- Says Fjorm still in your arms and stands up to leave. You walk her to the door and she opens it.

-Please forgive me. Jealousy is the worst of feelings and it turns us into monster. I should not have reacted that way.

-It is my fault. I never said anything. You probably thought I was following you around all this time just for him, when I was actually there for you…At least Eir thought so. She confronted me once. I had to tell her the truth.

-To be fair I always thought you were doing research like us, when you were at the library. Are you going to tell her about…- You could not finish. She just nodded, said her good night and left.

You were left alone with Alfonse. The man you love, but are too afraid to face now. It is strange but, even though you know he will marry another, there is comfort in knowing he loves you still. You only have to find a way to save him. < Yeah! Like I saved Lif right?>

You enter the study and find him leaning on the chimney mantle. You had hugged him before in friendly terms but you have never been this bold to initiate such intimate contact. This time you stand behind him and embrace him; leaning your head on his back. He takes your hands in his.

-I love you Alfonse.- he makes a strangled noise at that and tightens his hold on your hands. You can’t help but cry your self.- I will wait for you. I promise.

-Fjorm sees herself dying any day now…but I can’t help but think about her surviving all this years…and I hate myself for it. I will hate my self for waiting and her for living…and yet I can live with that. The thought of you marring another is what drives me insane.

-I will wait for you. Or I can be your mistress…

-No! I will not do that to you. I will not stain your honor that way. You have no idea how the people here treat …no.

-(sigh) Honor…what use is honor if it does not bring me happiness…but I understand you. I know it looks like I don’t care about what people say about me, and I don’t, but I care about what they think about you.- You close your eyes and take a deep breath to take courage for your next question.- Can I at lest have you once?

-If I touch you…I will not be able to stop my self… I will not be able to leave you. It is already …I think it is time I move my chambers somewhere else. Go to sleep. We will talk tomorrow.- He lets go of your hands and move away.

You go to your room and close the door of the study. Your heart is broken and his refusal had stung, but you also know him enough to know how he deals with heartache. He is suffering more than you in this and he will suffer more still, having to be married to a woman he doesn’t love and who doesn’t love him back. A woman he is clearly jealous of.

Of course you could not sleep that night but a fitful couple of hours. Especially because you could see the light of the fire in the study and a shadow pacing around outside your door. You wanted to go out and end that torture, but you also understood him. Getting closer now would only complicate matters and make it harder in the end.

Maybe it was fate that you had fallen in love with the same man twice and lost them both. Fate may be telling you, happiness was not for you. About some hours before day break you hear a violin begin to play. It was your favorite piece.

The melancholy melody reached you and your mind wandered to the times he had played for you when you told him you could not sleep. Perhaps he knew that like him, you were not sleeping. How could you live without him? He was your other half. Loosing him again will be like loosing part of yourself. You fall asleep to the sound of his pain. (1)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~

Hours later you get up to go to work, you can’t hear anything in the study. You open the door with a bit of trepidation and find it empty. The door to his room is wide open, but there is no sound inside. You think he may be sleeping, but after a quick look, you find the room empty.

You go to the dining hall and get something to eat. You are not hungry of course, but there is a long day of work ahead of you and getting sick will only make it worse. Before going inside, you fear to face him again, and even more in front of other people.

-Hey Boss! Do you know what’s wrong with the prince!- You turn to look at the sound of the familiar voice, but find not only one Claude but two. Double trouble stand there looking at you and the younger of the two whistles.

-You look worst than him! Did you have a party last night?- This earned him an elbow to the side by King Claude.

-Yes Claude. I went to a rave. You found me out.- I say flatly.- You saw Alfonse?

- He was going to the library, but he looks sick. You are not getting sick are you? Is it contagious?- He asked concerned.

-No. I just couldn’t sleep. You needed him for something?- They look at each other for a second and young Claude nods and excuses himself to go have breakfast. Having these two together is a wonder. They do this thing where they have whole conversations with their eyes and it is scary to watch, knowing how smart and mischivious they are.

-You had a fight?- King Claude asks quietly, eyes not straying from yours. You know he can read you like an open book. He hums a little and say.- We were tasked to let him, and you now there is a meeting in two hours. Commander Anna and princess Sharena look almost as bad as you. Is something going on?

-Perhaps… Yes. I will let you know when I find out all the details.- You tell him. He is resourceful and know he will eventually find out and you will need his sharp mind to make plans any way.

-Did you cheat on him with Fjorm?- He say it jokingly and you look at him with a “TF you mean?” look, but you also wonder why he even mentioned Fjorm.- You know that lady is in love with you right? I consider her my strongest opponent by the way. Sturdy and strong.

-Claude…why do you even say that?

- Well, when we were going to give him the message; we found him arguing with Fjorm. She came and said something to him and he looked ready to kill someone. You know that growly thing Lif used to do when he was actively trying to kill us?Well just like that. He went storming into the library. Fjorm looked ready to cry. I give her props for not running away. That’s why my girl is my strongest opponent.

-Did everyone know about Fjorm but me?

-Yep. You do know about me right? Please tell me you do; because I don’t know how else to..

-Yes, Claude I know about you.- You smile at him.- And believe me when I say, that if I had not been Summoner here and had met you first. It would be very different. I would be crazy in love with that wit, those gorgeous green eyes, that astute mind and personality…Oh that sense of humor too and you would probably not even look my way.

-I do have beautiful eyes, don’t I. (sight) Not as beautiful as Alfonse’s I suppose- He said teasingly. You can’t help not going along with his sense of humor. He was trying to cheer you up, so you smile at him and punch him lightly on the arm.

You went together to have breakfast and then you ask the people working the kitchen if Alfonse had come to get food. He had not and Sharena confirmed he was still in the library and didn’t want anything.

You think of taking him something, but at the end you just get an apple and some cookies you stole from the kitchen.

You get to the War Room and Anna and Sharena are already outside. They greet you but they don’t meet your eyes. Alfonse is already inside looking at the giant map of Askr and the surrounding lands that is carved on a stone table. You go near him and put the apple and napkin with cookies in front of him. He did not made to take it.

-Don’t make it worst by getting sick.- He sighs, takes them and start eating them. You sit in one of the chairs by the high stained glass windows, take out your schedule for today and start making plans.

-You look better today.

-If by that you mean, I look like I couldn’t sleep until you started playing, then yes. Thank you, by the way.- He nods but does not say a word. You feel like you are talking to Lif. Which tells you just how hurt he is.- Are you researching on who you think is behind the attacks?

-There is too little information to do a proper research.- He answers after finishing the apple.

- Could it be one of the realms from the Norse folklore? We already fought some of them. I can talk to Freyr and ask him what he thinks about this. He may even dream of something.

- Perhaps.- He say simply. You are getting flashbacks of the days when you had first arrived to Askr and he would only answer with these kind of sentences. You can’t help to sigh and he just looks sideways at you, but doesn’t elaborate.

Anna and the rest started coming in. Ten minutes later Anna starts the meeting that turned out to be just an announcement since there were people missing.

-We will be having a meeting today at around six. The Royal Army Generals are coming. _______, I have a list of heroes I need in the meeting and I leave whoever you think should attend as well to your discretion. Here.- She hands you a list with names.- The King of Nifl and Queen of Muspell will be attending. - You look at Alfonse and he is looking at Anna intently but you can see he is doing that jaw thing he does when he is angry. Sharena is looking down at her feet.- They will be here two days and we need to be on our best of behaviors and safety. They will be arriving in three hours tops.

Hrid.

Two days.

Now you understood why Alfonse was angry at Fjorm. She must have told him, Hrid was coming.The meting only lasted a few minutes while she gave the officers and heads of staff their orders.

As soon as the meeting was over, Alfonse went out the door but was stopped by Delthea who was asking for you. He pointed you out and you wondered what was wrong with the bright magician.

-Summoner! Someone spiked Freyr’s drink and he is drunk in the infirmary. He won’t let anyone touch him. Natasha wants you to go and see if you can help them out. He keeps saying he wants to talk to you and go to the beach.

-Seriously? Do you have any idea who it was? Wait …Why was he day drinking at this our? It’s like 8 in the morning!- She shrugged. You rub your face out of frustration.- God! Why no one told me I was going to be babysitting grownup heroes that behave like five year olds? - Delthea started giggling and you noticed Alfonse had stopped to listen to the exchange. He came close and said.

-Take the morning off after you let the heroes know, they are needed. You need the time off Summoner.- Even Delthea stopped giggling. She looked at him and then you, like she was expecting something bad to happen, like kids do when their parents argue in front of them. -Just be sure to be here for the meeting and dinner. His highness will want to see you as well.

-I do not think that is prudent, there is a lot to do. Besides you need rest as well.

- I have stuff to do- He turns to leave, then adds without looking at you.-…But summoner, Do go.

You see him leave and after those cutting words you feel empty inside. You take Delthea by the hand and start to go towards the infirmary. It seems so impossible that you had been there just yesterday, full of joy and happiness and it feels now like a lifetime ago. It is enough to make you cry but not in front of Delthea.

-______. The prince…

- He is going through a lot right now Delthea.

-Is it because of his marriage to Fjorm?- She asks biting her lip.

-What do you know about that? How?- You stop to look around to see if someone is around to listen to your conversation.

-I heard Fjorm telling Eir about it. I was looking at this book I found in a secret compartment under one of the bookcases in the library.- She shows you a blue book with golden runes and a set of locks on the side.- They couldn’t see me and they started talking and I didn’t know It was a secret.They are both very sad. Eir promised Fjorm to help her find a way to get off the marriage and not make you marry Fjorm’s brother. Is he the one coming today? Is that why Alfonse wants you to go to the beach? You know Fjorm is in love with you right? I think Alfonse is looking for a way to not marry Fjorm as well and that is what he is doing in the library.

<<WTF?>>-I see. How did you know about Fjorm?

-You can’t see the way she looks at you?- She rolls her eyes.- Just like Chorm and Claude and Leon…and his demon -She made a face- Oh and Xander.-You look at her questioningly- Sigbert told me. That is why he stutters when he talks to you. Oh Dimitri!

<<Dimitri??>> You think, because King Dimitri has Marth, Savior Dimitri has Byleth and Student Dimitri has a sweetheart as well. Then you look up and see she meant “Feral” Dimitri is coming your way.

-____ are you going to the infirmary?- You nod yes.- May I accompany you?

-Of course! Are you not feeling well?- You ask concerned and make sure to remember not to burden him with your issues and give him your best smile, just like the one you will have to give the kids.

-I...-He lowered his gaze- I want to know how…the baby is doing.- He said a little embarrassed.

God this man is so sweet, you have to wonder just how much he had to suffer for him to be turned into what you saw of him earlier.

-Oh I see. So was I,but now I need to check on a Dream God, that someone got drunk.

-Do you need help?- He asks concerned.

-I am not sure, but he is…he has touching issues and I am guessing it is because of his sister.-He looks confused.- Dimitri… no matter how bad thins get, remember that at least you are not trying to bang your sibling, without their consent.

-What does that mean?- He asks in a small voice. Delthea starts giggling. Of course she knew what you meant.

- His sister is in love with him and was actively trying to…you know… marry him…- You finished awkwardly.

-What?…I suppose I understand why he would not want to be touched by people.

- And it does not help that he is very attractive. This is why he always wear loose tunics.- Seriously the first time you saw him without that tunic, it was shocking! That man is a God…well literally as well, but still. Dimitri just nods and keeps walking at your pace looking sideways at Delthea who was trying hard to open the blue book.

-Where did you get that book any way? What is it about?

-Umm. Well last week I was hiding from Luthier, because he wanted me to finish my homework and I hid in the bottom shelf where there were no books, and I saw this crack in the shelf on the bookcase next to mine, and it had a spell on it right? So I waited until Luthier went looking for me somewhere else, and tried to undo the locking spell. It was an old spell, but like easy to undo, and the book was inside it. I just can’t open it. I has this spell I can’t make out.

-Delthea,maybe it is a cue for you not to mess with it. It may belong to someone already. It may give you tentacles or something. Wait! Alfonse can translate those runes! I have seen him do it. It is some dead language we have encountered before. Why don’t you see if he can open it or knows what it is?

-Oh! Yes!….But what if I get in trouble?

-Tell him I sent you, because I wanted to know what that was and Delthea…Can you do me a favor?

-Of course _____

-Can you see what he is researching and try to help him? He is very intelligent, but sometimes people need another fresh mind to find the answer they are looking for.

-OK. I’ll do it. I want to help you with...- You shake your head slightly and widen your eyes so she would not say a word about the betrothal in front of Dimitri. She understood.- his research.

-You can do that once we come back from the beach.

-No. You go, but you can please take my brother! He needs to go out. Deal?

-Deal! Now go and tell Luthier, I need him to come help me with Freyr and that he can take whoever he wants to come with us. - She nods and starts running towards the library. You turn to Dimitri- Hey Dimitri. After visiting the baby I am taking Freyr to the beach. We are having some guests tonight and I need some relaxing time beforehand. Want to come? You don’t have to answer now. Think about it. I also need to run some errands before we take off. -He nods and opens the door of the infirmary.

You both go inside and ask him if he wants to go with you and go together to visit the baby or go by himself. He decides to wait for you outside the room Freyr is in. Brady informed you he had calmed down when they told him you were coming, but he had been very dizzy, could barely walk and had not wanted anyone to help him on the bed. He had also not wanted to tell them, whom he though had spiked his drink.

- Freyr? How are you feeling?- His eyes were open. This was bad.

-______? I feel dizzy. I need to go…

-We are going to the beach Freyr. Who spiked your drink? Do you know?

-Freya.- He pointed to the night table where a pitcher of water was placed. You go and take it to smell and …-Do not drink it. It is a potion for deep sleep.- Indeed the liquid did not smell like alcohol. He was not drunk, he was fighting sleep. You were going to ask him why he thought Freya had done this if she was dead, but then so was him and you had called him fro the dead.

- I swear your sister is like Freddy Kruger! This is bad! When did you see her?

-This morning I was dreaming… having a pleasant dream. When a nightmare came to me. I saw your sadness summoner. Then she came to me, and said we would soon be together, now that she had come back to me. I tried to wake up and could not. She came near me and I could not move. I woke up when I heard Peony knocking on my door. She had sensed something, but she could not see her or feel her. I could barely stand and she helped me get far enough to come here. I sent her to look for anyone who could have penetrated our security.

-I need to tell Anna bout this…But first I need to tell Brady if he has something to fight the sleeping potion.

-Don’t go.

- I am not going anywhere Freyr.- You open the door and ask Dimitri to please go get Brady or any healer and to bring something to fight sleep. Then you go and stand by Freyr’s side to talk to him so he can stay awake. You ask him what the dream he had about you was about, but he did not want to elaborate.

-You know Sir. It is not my place to tell you this but; have you though of maybe marring someone to see if she gets the idea?- He looks at you and actually smiles.

- I have…but I find my self in the predicament of being in love with someone who does not love me back.- Suddenly his smile fades and he continues.- Can you imagine the calamities my sister would rain upon my beloved?

-Oh yes. I surely can. I am so sorry to have intruded. Please forgive me, I did not meant to hurt you.- He sighs, extends his hands to you and asks you to sit on the bed by his side.

- Do not fret ______. It is an obvious question. I should have ended this madness a long time ago, but the love for my little sister blinded me to her misguided pursuit, until it was too late to change.

This conversation gave Brady time to come. He knocked on the door and came in with Dimitri and a young Leon in tow.

- Lord Freyr, _____; I have here a potion that may counter the sleeping potion you took.- He gives Freyr the bottle and picks up the water and smells it.- Leon said he gave you the whole bottle, if you hadn’t been a god, you would be dead, even with one fraction. This is our strongest sleeping potion. Used for surgeries.- You look at Leon who is currently looking down at the floor.- Take all the bottle Lord Freyr, if you feel uncomfortable you can come see me later. _________, please don’t be hard on the tike. It ain’t his fault.- Freyr took the potion.

-What happened Leon?- You asked him in a soothing tone. How can you be mad at him? He is a good boy and was probably tricked into doing this.

- He told me to do it.-He pointed at Freyr. Everyone looks confused except Brady.- Well it wasn’t him I guess. I had a dream for two nights and he was crying, because he could not sleep. In my dream he kept asking me for help. He said he wanted to see his little sister and he needed a potion for that but he could not ask for it, because he did not want to worry you _______. He said not to ask him in real life so it would be our secret. He told me where to get it, and to just put it in his water when he was not in his room so no one would know. So I did what he asked...but now that I think about it; his horns looked different and he had a big ugly mole in his nose.

Freya.

If this had not been as serious as it was, it would have been funny. Freya was so self conscious about that mole… but also that mole was the root of the whole damned problem. Leon looked worriedly at Freyr, which was still looking at him with open eyes. Freyr smiles at him.

-Do not be afraid child. I hold no ill intent toward you. You are innocent. I know my sister well, but I confess I am shocked, by her tricking a child to do her wicked work.

Freyr felt better and now could close his eyes and sleep as he always did. It was worrisome that Freya was back, not only because of the sick obsession she had with her brother, but because it meant someone had revived her.

You send word to Anna about the incident and she comes to talk to Freyr and you. After this you, Dimitri and Freyr ( who probably does not want to be alone), go visit Runa and her baby. You had a good talk, you got to hold the baby and Freyr gave him his blessing. Runa could not believe she was in the presence of one of the ancient Gods.

After sending word to the heroes that need to be in the meeting and King Claude who you think needs to be there as well, you take the stuff you need and pick up Luthier to go to the beach. Dimitri ends up going with you.

It was around ten when you got there. Double trouble decided to come along to Dimitri’s chagrin, but thankfully young Claude decided to befriend Luthier. Young Claude took it upon himself to teach him how to make friends and charm the ladies. Meanwhile, King Claude was mostly talking to Freyr, and Sharena, whom Alfonse had sent along to have fun, but had done so just after he had learned K Claude was coming along.

-Here Lord Freyr I got you a pineapple the way you like them. Do you want me to check it first?- You tell the silver haired man. He shakes his head slightly and and takes it from your hand.

- Thank you _______. I can do this. I never did this before because I had no reason to do so, she had never been so bold as to do these king of wicked deeds.

- I am sorry I can’t protect you more efficiently. I will go and do some research at the library to see if I can find something to help you. Physical barriers and security is something, but the mind and dreams are not easy to deal with.- Just how far had his sister gone before Peony had woke him up? The way he behaved this morning…you did not want to think about it, but you were sure he needed therapy after that.

- I can put up shields in my mind to do so and now that we are aware she is back, it will be easy to detect her presence in dreams.

King Claude took the opportunity that Dimitri was still getting a coconut for you and himself to come and talk to you.

-Hey ______. I just noticed something. This Dimitri...Byleth choose Black Eagles and…

- Claude I swear if you tell me not to bother with him, because he is going to die; I will slap you silly.

- What? No! That is not it! In fact I wan to help you get him ready to win! After all the other me in his world may die along with him; and he will need someone like me, to teach him to charm his way into getting more allies! What I wanted to tell you, is that I have been talking to some of the other heroes that had different destinies and I understand that This Dimitri still has both eyes. He wears the patch but he still has his eye intact. I thing it was kind of like his sense of taste, maybe? I remember you telling me, when we first met that Dimitri had lost it either because he had had some physical trauma, or it was psychological. If it is the later he may recover it; just like King Dimitri started tasting certain foods after he started being such “good friends” with Marth.

- Son of a witch! Seriously? Look, let me find it out. I just need to find the right time to do it. I don’t want him to get flashbacks or something. Oh and Claude you are a frigging genius! And a good man to boot! Thank you!- You hug him.

- Do I get a little kiss as well?- He asks laughing and you can hear Freyr laughing too. You kiss him in the forehead. - Well that’s better than nothing.

You can see Dimitri coming back in the distance with Sharena to his side. When they are near, you can see him looking sideways to the princess with a knitted brow. It may be because she is not her usual bubbly self. He asks her something you can not hear and she looks at him and smiles, but shakes her head.

When they get to where you are sitting by Freyr and Claude Dimitri is furrowing his brows and looking intently at you like searching for something. You take this time to evade any questions or suspicions and distract Sharena with something fun by asking then if they want to build a sand Castle.

Freyr and Dimitri have never don this and are instantly intrigued by the idea. Sharena perks up instantly and Claude proceeds to make it a competition and proclaims that his team consisting of himself and Sharena will win. You are left with Freyr and Dimitri who looks with trepidation at the items used to make the castle. You would think they will bite him, but understand it is his fear of breaking them, what is bothering him.

-The point of this is to have fun Dimitri. You can use your hands and items to do it and if you don’t want to use the pail or shovel it is perfectly alright. First you go and get some shells and plants and stick or stones that you find on the beach to make the castle look better.- You ere picking up shells and pebbles when Young Claude and Luthier come back and make their own team, when you tell them about the sand castle competition.

Watching both Freyr and Dimitri so invested in their work really made you happy. They looked so carefree, it almost made you forget about Alfonse’s engagement. Luthier also looked happy and it looked like Claude, as other extroverts do, had adopted Luthier.

-Mister Sandman! Give me a dream. Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen!- The moment the soft words of the song came out of your lips, Freyr looked at your smiling face with open eyes and smiled himself. - Give him two lips like roses and clover; and tell him that his lonesome nights are over.

When you reached the part with “lots of wavy hair…” You could hear Claude shout “Someone wants gorgeous wavy hair?”.

-You know she meant blue and gold! - Young Claude said and threw a shell at his older counterpart. This earned them a laugh from everyone. Even Dimitri gave his quiet laugh. Well everyone except Sharena. She was looking down at the sand castle.

-Maybe we do need a nice dream. Would you like to take a nap in the sun? -Asked Freyr softly.

- I can watch over you while you take a much needed nap.- Said King Claude. You agreed to do it after you finished the sand castle competition, which young Claude and Luthier won. The winners went to celebrate their win at the drink stand. You told them not to drink alcohol.

Sharena agreed to take that much needed nap. You all were very used to not getting enough sleep by now, but somehow the stress of the situation was even greater, than some of the battles you had fought in.

You lay on a blanket between Freyr and Sharena; and Dimitri chose to lay down on a reclining chair next to Claude who was going to remain awake.

You have the most wonderful dream in a while, and by the time you woke up, you felt like you had slept for days. (2) You felt so well rested you did not notice the sting on your skin, not did you notice you were tightly hugging a very firm body and being tightly hugged in return by someone behind you. That someone was still snoring right in your ear.

-Had a nice dream huh Summoner?- Came Claude’s voice from behind you. You could hear the laughter in his voice.- I think you forgot to put on sun blocking lotion.

-What do you …-Now you felt it. You were laying on your side and so only one side of your body was an angry red. You then notice the firm body you were hugging was Freyr who was smiling in his dream. His chest was just as red as your left arm and the left leg you had over his.- Oh Fudge!- You say trying to disentangle yourself from him, but an arm around your waist prevents you from moving. You turn around and see Sharena’s face about three inches from yours. You both are lying on Freyr’s arm. After taking your arm from his chest you notice it leaves a tan line with its shape.

-Sharena! You are getting sunburned!- You say trying to move her arm. Half her face is red and you suspect your face fares the same. She opens her eyes and smiles broadly at you.

-______!! I had the most wonderful dream! I….Ouch! Hey I got sunburned! How did that happen I got the lotion on!

-So did I, and Freyr as well, but I probably look like Neapolitan ice cream!- You tell her and point to Freyr who is sitting up by now.

-I count my self lucky, and this mistake worth the fun and happiness. -He looks down and smiles at the mark of your hand on his chest. He was moving his left arm and you were sure it was sore after all the time you and Sharena had been laying on it. God that man was a saint. You look around to find an umbrella over Dimitri who is still asleep. You look over at Claude who smiles at you.

-They only had one, and I rather not have a very sore and angry Dima on our hands when he wakes up all red and in pain.- He gave you an apologetic look.

- It’s all cool Claude. I rather he doesn’t suffer for it at least. I wonder why the lotion didn’t work?

-Because it is regular lotion!…I am so sorry ______! I was so distracted this morning I got the wrong one!- Said Sharena bashfully.

-Don’t worry Sharena! We will get all fixed up when we get back home. Right Freyr!- You hear a rumble of ascent coming from the God.- We better wake up Sleeping Beauty and get our Dynamic Duo, and eat some lunch so we can go home, by the way. We still have to get ready to meet King Hrid.- You tell them and Claude gets up to get the other two from the dink stand. That leaves you to wake up Dimitri who looks so serene sleeping. So relaxed and young…It feels like a pity to awaken him. You stand there contemplating how to go about it when he wakes up smiling. He looks at you and say…

-Beloved…- he seems to realize what he said and sits up all red in the face.- I…

-Mmm having a great dream I see! I am sorry to wake you up Dimitri, but it is time to go home.- You wonder if like Student Dimitri, this Dimitri is in love with Marianne, but you feel it is not your place to ask. He’ll confide in you when the time comes.

After a hurried lunch, you get home all sore but relaxed and happy. Even Sharena looks like her old self.

-Wow Thank you Lord Freyr! I had the greatest of dreams! Everyone was my friend! Even Navarre and Valter! Oh and Fomortiis too!

-Why would you want to be their friend? I get Navarre but…- Asked Luthier.

-They all deserve a chance to be understood. -Says Sharena.- Our dear Summoner taught me that.- She looks at you and winks. You return her smile in kind.

- I guess, but Fomortiis is a literal demon…- Responds Luthier.- Oh so what did you dream of Summoner?- He ask you and you feel your heart beat faster. Your dream...You did not want to talk about it. Dimitri must have seen your hesitance and started to talk.

- I… I dreamed my beloved gifted me a wheel of cheese and asked for my hand in marriage.- He said scarlet faced. Everyone looked at him surprised, but no one laughed.

-Wow that sounds like something ________ would do!- Says King Claude.

- I have you know…wait that does sound like a good idea. I mean if someone were to give me my favorite food and then asks me to marry him; I’d say yes right away! I think that is very romantic!- You say to the King.

-Well, don’t keep your favorite food a secret! I need to know right now!- He asks and now everyone laughs.

-Try a wheel of cheese Claude.- Says Dimitri to Claude’s surprise.

-Quesadillas! Yummy!! - You say.

-I got a pair of mice in my hands!- Says King Claude and gives a sigh.

-I love cheese and Quesadillas too!- Pipes in Sharena.

-I enjoy cheese and quesadillas my self as well.- Says Lord Freyr.

You were all laughing by the time you reach the castle and were on your way to the infirmary to get fixed up when you see a group of people walking to meet you. It was Alfonse followed by Fjorm walking by Leagyarn. On Alfonse’s side was the King of Nifl.

-Hrid…

A/N

1. The piece Alfonse is playing is clearly from his world, but I imagine it sounds a lot like Ikuto’s Violin Solo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET8hV8yPNNQ

2. I wonder what the Summoner dreamed about? Should I leave it to your discretion or should I write about it. I am sure I will end up writing about Dimitri’s. Also Freyr’s forced dream was a dubious consent and I am not sure if I should write about that.

SHERRYY CONGRATULATIONS ON 200!! ✧\(>o<)ﾉ✧ you deserve it so much, i love reading your works (you transition so smoothly between ur words?? hello pls lend me ur powerr!!) and im so excited for more things to come from your blog!! and also your series,, AAAAAAA

also may i rq a matchup?? honestly idm any gender, romantic or platonic (im interested in who u think would fit my type or be friends with me either way!! that sounds so cool) im pretty much an ambivert, sometimes im so extroverted and other times im just,, ಠ_ಠ i love books, doodling, sweet foods, and sleeping or not sleeping at all HAHSBDB sunrises are definitely preferred over a sunset and dislikes might just be nuts?? LOL but if there are a cons about someone/a character i would like to work it out with them so im not specifically disliking any character traits,, fun fact might just be that im allergic to peanuts? sorry this is so long HAHSHD but im excited to see what u come up with!! thank you for ur timee sherry :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOO <3!! I'm coming back from hiatus so I could give this to you hehe. And aaahhh Boo pls, your compliments are high praise. I hope you like this matchup!

I match you up with Kazuha (romantic)!

Kazuha would be able to keep up with how you're feeling that day. You don’t even need to tell him how you’re feeling even at a particular point in time. He’d be able to tell and he’ll match with your energy levels. If you're feeling extroverted, he'll probably find ways to pull you into conversations. If you're feeling introverted, he'll do the opposite.

I can see Kazuha reading together with you as well. You and him, sitting at the deck of the Alcor and reading in the cool breeze. Sometimes, you’ll sit snuggled up close beside him and you’ll read the same book together. Both of you take turns flipping the pages. Occasionally, he’ll probably read it out loud to you (then ask for a kiss every few pages).

Honestly, I think Kazuha is a fairly artistic person (given how he enjoys being poetic and playing music), so he’d doodle with you. He’ll probably do some secret sketches of you as well. When you find the sheets of paper with your sketches stashed in his room, he acts nonchalant that you find it but he’s pretty embarrassed. He’ll probably try to cover his bashfulness up by saying things like “The weather was picturesque that day and I thought it’d be breathtaking to remember it with you in it”

Kazuha probably doesn’t mind staying up with you, but to discourage you from sleeping late often, he’ll tell you that the sunrise will be crystal clear early the next day to try to get you to sleep. Though, he appreciates how on the nights that he can’t fall asleep, he knows you’ll be there.

I have a feeling that there are nuts in the storage room in the Alcor for food consumption (I did some googling and sailors had nuts as part of their diet whenever they went out to sea). The chef is aware that you’re allergic to peanuts, but Kazuha will always steal glances at your food to make sure that there isn’t any in your bowl. He’d willingly pick the nuts out for you since you dislike them.

He knows you like sweet foods, and sometimes I feel like he'd steal them from you to tease you. Say he's holding on to some tri-colour dango and he feeds you the dango. He tells you to say "ahhh" and open your mouth and you do, but he ends up eating that one for himself.

Kazuha is someone who you can be straightforward with as well with the traits about him that you’d like to work out. He’ll be able to come up with a compromise for the both of you if it’s something that he feels he cannot entirely change.

I couldn't come up with headcanons for characters platonic-wise, but I feel like you would be good friends with Yoimiya, Itto and maybe Yunjin!

#riptide.200 #all those that glimmer #~Boo #mutuals !

✨✨ TOP FIVES FOR 2020 ✨✨

2020 was, i think we can all agree, a massively chaotic year but i have never consumed as much media before in my life, so i thought others might benefit from my slothery uh, connoisseur.... ship? yes, that. below are the books, comics, shows, and movies that got me through!

B O O K S .

the starless sea, by erin morgenstern - i loooove this book because it loves me back. it says: ‘oh, you’re a reader, well i have just the thing for you.’ it luxuriates in language and story and riddles and fairy tales and it feels like an entire library in a single tome.

they never learn, by layne fargo - oh fuuuuuck, this was satisfying. i thought it might feel a little exploitative as it is very aware of the zeitgeist and likely would not exist without the #metoo movement but it never ever did. this was a fucking ROMP, period. reading about a woman getting away with murdering skeezy guy after rapey guy after shitty human just made me happier and happier.

moonflower murders, by anthony horowitz - this is the second in the susan ryeland series (and the first was hardcore good fun too) and really feels very classic mystery with the artful twist of catering to the literary community. mainly because: susan isn’t a detective, she’s an editor and she gets drafted in this time because the clue to what happened to a missing woman is in a book she edited, if she can find it. both of the books in this series have such an excellent coming together moment that is rare af to find.

the invisible life of addie larue, by v.e. schwab - the writing in this is just so good. it has that feel to me where i just want to drop the book and open up my own page and let my fingers fly. it’s that inspiring kind of writing that reminds you of all the things language can do.

crown of feathers/heart of flames, by nicki pau preto - aaahhh, this series is SO FREAKING GOOD! why is there not more of a fandom for it, why???? it is so many of my favorite tropes all resting perfectly together to the point where you almost forget they’re tropes because they just so naturally evolved there. ugh, it’s just.... it’s so heart-bursty good.

.... number 5, part 2? raybearer, by jordan ifueko - this was just so original and i was invested af. like, what a brilliant idea though and an even better execution?? i loved every character and am so looking forward to the next in the series so i can get to know them even better!!

honorable mentions (sh*t i still liked a whole heckuva lot): you/hidden bodies, by caroline kepnes // writers & lovers, by lily king // i’ll be gone in the dark, by michelle mcnamara // the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home, by joseph fink & jeffrey cranor // girl, serpent, thorn, by melissa bashardoust // a little life, by hanya yanagihara // the guinevere deception, by kiersten white // obsidio (and the entire illuminae series), by amie kaufman & jay kristoff // the bone houses, by emily lloyd-jones // house of salt and sorrows, by erin a. craig // we hunt the flame, by hafsah faizal // savage legion, by matt wallace // blacktop wasteland, by s.a. cosby // crier’s war, by nina varela // the empress of salt and fortune/when the tiger came down the mountain, by nghi vo // upright women wanted, by sarah gailey // the monster of elendhaven, by jennifer giesbrecht // a deadly education, by naomi novik // you let me in, by camilla bruce // when you ask me where i’m going, by jasmin kaur // the lights go out in lychford/last stand in lychford (and the entire lychford series), by paul cornell // the devil and the dark water, by stuart turton // serpent & dove, by shelby mahurin // one by one, by ruth ware // ruthless gods (this was SUCH an upshot from the first book - it’s worth sticking with if you’re on the fence), by emily a. duncan // cemetery boys, by aiden thomas // the inheritance games, by jennifer lynn barnes // the fortunate ones (2021 release), by ed tarkington

C O M I C S .

cosmoknights, by hannah templer - the art was gorgeous, the gayness was glorious, and just.... hot HOOOOOOOOT lady knights in space?! a princess winning her own hand? find something not to love in there, i dare you.

don’t go without me, by rosemary valero-o’connell - wow. wow wow wow wow wow. the writing was stunning, so lyrical and atmospheric and deep, and rosemary has to be one of my favorite artists but even that managed to come as a beautiful surprise because it was just so freaking bold.

through the woods, by emily carroll - i loooove emily carroll, the convergence of spine-tingling horror and art that feeds into it, that is both visually and aesthetically pleasing, is hard to beat! p.s. i also read beneath the dead oak tree from her this year and it was also a BANGER.

the impending blindness of billie scott, by zoe thorogood - zoe is someone that i just want to follow. she’s just starting and i want to be there for every single step. i love her art style and her ability to tell a story with it.

above the clouds, by melissa pagluica - this was so unique, and such a baller concept, as nearly half the entire book is conveyed only through the art and yet you’re never once lost, never once confused as to what any character is thinking or feeling. it’s a story within a story and only one of those gets words though they both are chock full of emotion!

um.... number 5, part 2? crowded, by christopher sebela - everything about this series is fun af. crowd-funded assassination and a hirable bodyguard who’s rated like an uber driver??? and the chemistry between the two mains is so great and gay!!

honorable mentions: monster and the beast, by renji // long exposure, by kam ‘mars’ heyward // fence, by c.s. pacat // invisible kingdom, by g. willow wilson // ms. marvel, by g. willow wilson // heathen, by natasha alterici // not drunk enough, by tess stone // giant days, by john allison // die, by kieron gillen // be prepared, by vera brosgol // ascender (sequel to descender, which is also great), by jeff lemire // the unbeatable squirrel girl, by ryan north // bang! bang! boom!, by melanie schoen // gideon falls, by jeff lemire // life of melody, by mari costa // cry wolf girl, by ariel slamet ries // the tea dragon society, by katie o’neill // ptsd, by guillaume singelin // heartstopper, by alice oseman // solutions and other problems, by allie brosh // finding home, by hari conner // the magic fish, by trung le nguyen // something is killing the children, by james tynion iv // the weight of them, by noelle stevenson // spill zone, by scott westerfeld // skyward, by joe henderson // miles morales, by saladin ahmed

F I L M S.

parasite, dir. bong joon ho - oh it was satisfying, oh it was suspenseful, oh i had to watch some of it through my fingers but i loooooooved it. such a good story and so well made.

knives out, dir. rian johnson - okay, everything about this movie was amazing. every single character was fun as hell and i could’ve watched an entire movie about each of them. what a great fucking mystery!

blindspotting, dir. carlos lopez estrada - this made my heart hurt so damn much. what glorious writing, acting, and story!

portrait of a lady on fire, dir. celine sciamma - gooooorgeous cinematography, amazing chemistry, and such a soft, atmospheric film.

the farewell, dir. lulu wang - i cried and my heart felt so full and i love it so so much.

um.... number 5, part 2? someone great, dir. jennifer kaytin robinson - no part of me expected to love a netflix movie this much but it’s a love story that doesn’t get told that often?? the end of a relationship and the true love of friendship and i love these girls and i love jenny and nate’s broken relationship.

honorable mentions: eighth grade, dir. bo burnham // booksmart, dir. olivia wilde // midsommar, dir. ari aster // the curse of la llorona, dir. michael chaves // the secret life of pets 2, dirs. chris renaud & jonathan del val // jojo rabbit, dir. taika waititi // the invisible man, dir. leigh whannell // the favourite, dir. yorgos lanthimos // can you ever forgive me?, dir. marielle heller // troop zero, dirs. bert & bertie // ready or not, dirs. matt bettinelli-olpin & tyler gillett // brave, dirs. mark andrews & brenda chapman & steve purcell // the half of it, dir. alice wu // palm springs, dir. max barbakow // doctor sleep, dir. mike flanaghan // uncut gems, dirs. benny sadfie & josh sadfie // birds of prey, dir. cathy van // bloodshot, dir. dave wilson // the old guard, dir. gina prince-bythewood // enola holmes, dir. harry bradbeer // hocus pocus, dir. kenny ortega // always be my maybe, dir. nahnatchka khan // finding dory, dirs. andrew stanton & angus maclane // die hard, dir. john mctiernan

S H O W S .

black sails (2014) - this show, this shooooooooow. i cannot, it just makes me want to cry with how good it is. the characters, the EMOTIONS, the story, the plaaaaaan. like, the creators clearly had a plan for every single step of this show and it was a gOOD, GOOD PLAN.

the untamed (2019) - truly, cheesy good fun with one of the best gay romances ever. i love these characters and their relationships to each other and the way it glories in its own ridiculousness.

the righteous gemstones (2019) - one of the things that bothered me about my next choice (the ratio of female to male nudity) was so much more realistic in this one (i mean, we’ve all gotten five thousand dick pics and i know like three people? so the fact that there is so rarely male nudity in shows when there are tits everywhere..... no, how does that even make a tiny bit of sense?). this show was such great, wonderful, awful fun. they’re not great people and the show is under no delusion about that and it’s GLORIOUS!

the witcher (2019) - this was just hella fun, i loved the characters and the fantasy elements. i’m excited for the next season, it’s just entertaining swashbuckling through and through!

fargo (2014) - all of this was really very enjoyable with the through line being somebody fucks shit up and gets involved in something they really shouldn’t be involved in that’s going to swallow them whole. season one and season three were my stand-out favorites but they were all so violent, clever, and vicious!

um.... number 5, part 2? central park (2020) - um..... so many of the hamilton actors in a muscial cartoon drawn and written by the bob’s burgers team? WHAT ABOUT THAT DOESN’T SOUND AMAZING?! it was such a joy to hear daveed diggs and leslie odom jr.’s voices again!!

Note

Sorry if this is too much, but can you do kamukomahina for the domestic ship thing? Thank you

Aaahhh sorry this took me a while to get to, anon!! Of course I can! >:3 I’m actually a big sucker for this because I really like the idea of Hinata and a (somehow separate) Kamukura kgfdjgktrg

who reaches out to new neighbors

The most social out of all of them is Komaeda, surprisingly! So he’d be the one greeting all the neighbors and dragging his boyfriends along lmao

who remembers to buy junk food

Hajime hands down, he’s the one with the biggest sweet tooth/snack obsession lmao

who fixes the oven when it breaks

Komaeda broke it. Hajime freaked out. Izuru sighed and came to fix it with his Ultimate talents lolol

who waters the plants/feeds their pet(s)

Komaeda is the one that takes care of all the plants but he could probably split the pet responsibilities with Hajime! Izuru doesn’t really get involved in it much but he likes to watch his boyfriends have a good time with those activities

who wakes up earlier

You’d think it’d be Kamukura but I think it would be really interesting if he was actually a late riser. Komaeda is mostly a morning person and therefore he’s the one that gets up the earliest!! Hajime could sleep past noon if you let him lmao

who makes the bed

Komaeda likes doing most of the chores because he wants to serve his “Ult Boyfriends” sdfkjrgisDFSDK, sometimes Hajime helps out too tho!! Izuru just lets them do whatever they want

who makes the coffee

Again, a way to serve his boyfriends? Komaeda is on it, it’s one of his favorite things to see both of them come downstairs and serve themselves a freshly brewed cup of the coffee he just made

who burns breakfast

Komaeda learned his lesson NOT to cook a loooooong time ago lmAO, but Hajime can still be stubborn and he keeps trying and burning things every once in a while 😔 Hajime just fucking leave it to Izuru pls dkgKDJFD

how do they let each other know they’re leaving the house

Izuru just states when he’s leaving and nothing else lol, Komaeda might give him a goodbye kiss on the cheek but that’s all. Komaeda sometimes just,,, wanders off without saying a thing but eventually Hajime tells him to Stop Doing That so he then actually announces when he leaves, Hajime gives him a quick peck before leaving! As for Hajime, he’s the one that initiates the goodbye kisses more frequently, going all “kay babe I’m leaving *smooch*” to both Izuru and Komaeda.

how do they greet each other when one of them gets home

Izuru just comes home and eventually Nagito and Hajime find out he’s there lmao, but he does get a greeting or two from the both of them, so it’s all fine.

Nagito might be the most affectionate when he comes back! Full on hugging them from behind and telling them he loves them

Meanwhile Hajime greets them like a normal person, “hello i’m home” and maybe a little kiss or two

who brings home little gifts like flowers/chocolates more often

Nagito is definitely the one that pays more attention to the little details of the three of them! He’s the type to go “I saw this and it was so pretty and it reminded me of your eyes so I bought it for you”. That being said, Izuru has a better eye for things like that, so his gifts are a lot more thoughtful and ‘useful’, definitely the more expensive ones. Hajime buys things as well sometimes, but he just gets the really cliche stuff dkfsdkgjd lmao bless his soul

who picks the movie for movie night

It’s probably Hajime cause he’s the one that knows about movies the most but I bet between Kamukura and Nagito it must be hell trying to get something that all of them can watch lMAO save him

their favorite kind of movie to watch

I don’t think Kamukura has much of a preference, he can predict pretty much everything in fictional movies and he already knows everything about real life lmAO but he won’t prevent his boyfriends from watching dumb sci-fi movies probably, so he just vibes with them on the couch and is bored as hell for a bit for the sake of his bfs lmao

who first suggests a pillow fort

It’s definitely Nagito. Hajime and Izuru both raise an eyebrow at that but Hajime just shrugs and Izuru, as always, lets them do what they want lol

who builds the pillow fort

Hajime and Nagito are disasters at it so eventually Izuru has to intervene and do all the work dfjkgtg

who tries to distract the other during the movie

Nagito is the one that ends up all curled up between the other two most of the time. If the movie is particularly boring Izuru WILL try and get them to do just,,, ANYTHING ELSE LMAO. Flirting works just fine so that’s usually what he defaults to ;)

who falls asleep first

Izuru falls asleep first because he just…. has that ability asdkgfd. Next to him is Hajime because he’s the type to just Pass Out if he’s too tired, bless his soul

who is big spoon/little spoon

how does spooning work between 3 people?? kjfddDKF either way I think Hajime is the most suited for the big spoon job!!! he just,,, wants to protect his boyfriends so much. Izuru does too but it’s still a little hard for him to show affection, he eventually learns how to do it tho

#tbh i even like this more than regular kamukoma lolol #ask #sdr2 #hinata #izuru #nagito #kamukoma #komahina #kamuhina #kamukomahina #Anonymous

Thick as Thieves Undead-Blog, Part Two | when your liveblog wakes up to drink some broth then goes back to sleep smiling because it trusts you | my notes from reading the book for the first time, Spring 2017

Format: Page number. My ridiculous thoughts (Context???)

Part One

Chapters 6-13:

Ch. 6 - Very intense chapter in which Kamet and Costis are captured by the slavers and escape

163. Costis <3 Muscles Good looking! (wow what a way to start this post)

one hot piece of attolian manflesh ... confirmed (people would call him this on LJ! I forgot about it for several years until reading this passage)

164. omg earring swallowed!

166. amanuensis? (perennial thanks to mwt for all the vocab words)

168. shit. severed hand.

172. wtf Costis don’t kill him

173. how do you silently kill someone like that?

174. wow fuck

176. Thieves.

Ch. 7 - Lots of good conversation, potentially symbolic animals, and a surprise Eugenides

183. Grt scene (apologies)

184. now who’s asking rude questions? (about killing people)

196. a goat and a snake .... how poetic

Costis stalks goat ...

shit where is his honor now (”I would have let you go”)

285. hey there Teleus...

my heart

285. yeah but C probs knows all those guards ... he thought punching Gen was the most embarrassed he’d been... (in retrospect, I don’t think he was embarrassed AT ALL during this scene. Costis fight mode was activated.)

289. Please stay alive Irene!

On some level I do feel that my childhood is ruined w the confirmation they banged. :( Gen is like 20! (Listen. I love them. I'm very happy for them. This is not exactly breaking news. 20-year-olds, and this one in particular, can obviously do anything they want. This note brought to you by me being Too Ace For This and having been both younger and older than him since first reading the books a very long time ago...)

292. Gggennn

“and every1 was watching”

300. Gen: Yo Helen can u bring me that one coin?

Helen: sure. no prob

301. “Poor Costis”

yeah Melheret always sneaks up

302. “You’ve come from the prisons, not how an honored guest is usually received” UM ACTUALLY...

305. Kamet.... (crying in his room)

306. “the kind of Attolia sitting on the footboard” oh my god yeah classic

307. Irene comes thru with the stats

Was Kamet at the battle at Ephrata?

310. talk with the kitchen staff good god i would like to know. So bizarre.

lol toting around an ambassador all nite? What would Teleus say?

while Irene’s sick ...

WTF will Costis do now?

312. names ... Kamet ... Ormentiedes?

Creeeeeeeeepy Relius (probably about “there are some questions you might answer for us” but possibly about the cutting up and feeding to wolves comment)

314. business arrangement uh sure

Yeah ok write it all down

316. talking to Costis?

(a note: the version I read was an advance reader copy, and the only major difference was that it did NOT include the scene with “the young Erondites”)

318. Attolia smiled at him!

anything worth doing is worth overdoing lol

319. alternate readings of poem?

322. orange trees!

cabbages!

324. sent Onarkus away RECENTLY???

Seriously.

Cooks r weird (thinking about the entry for cooks in the Tough Guide to Fantasyland)

326. the magus!

oh I know I’ll just GO!

poor Gen can’t have any friends...

331. they have duffles in Attolia

and with Attolian duffles, the story ends! Thanks for reading, feedback is welcome. I promise I have more developed thoughts about this book. For another weird journey, listen to my Thick as Thieves playlist, maybe.

Reptiles & Rogues: Thistles, Roses, and Thorns (Part 4)

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Tag list: @malibubarbievince @ace-is-back-and-he-told-you-so @fanofnightz @sunshinesuska @sodalitefully

Warnings: couple of dirty words, AAAHHH HEARTBREAK, mixed signals from an attractive male person, some reptiles are not vegetarians

Notes: thank you to everyone who has liked, reblogged, or commented, it means the world to me

You had just cleaned up Shit-a-palooza (well, everyone’s digestive system was certainly healthy) and were washing your hands in the bathroom when you heard the door chime.

That’s funny, you’d thought, the class of schoolkids wasn’t supposed to come for another hour or so.

You walked out to the front, and crouched down peering into the iguana cages was a guy with long black hair wearing a jean jacket-

“Izzy?”

He stood up. “Hey, Y/N.”

You blurted out the first thing that came to your head. “Why aren’t you at work?”

“I am, I’m on my break,” he explained patiently. “I need you to help me, I don’t know what I’m doing.”

You were stunned. “With flowers? Izzy, I know even less than you do about flowers.”

“Yeah, but you’re a girl.”

You furrowed your eyebrows at him, not understanding what he meant.

“And girls get flowers.” Bold of you to assume that. “What kind of flowers do you like?”

“I don’t know, nobody’s ever sent me flowers before.”

“Well, can you try to help me? Can you take a break?”

“Yeah, but I have to be back here in an hour.”

He smiled at you, and you’d be lying if you said your heart didn’t do an excited little flip. “I’ll have you back here, don’t worry.”

As the two of you walked down the street, Izzy asked you about your job, and remained silent as you’d launched into a verbal spewing of how much you treasured all the animals, how they all had their own individual personalities, and you were just getting wound up to tell him how much you hated irresponsible animal owners when he unlocked the door to Sylvia’s Flower Shop.

And the contents inside took your breath away.

No wonder Izzy had sought your help. This was simply overwhelming.

According to Izzy, Sylvia was an artiste, and while she made jaw-droppingly gorgeous creations, she avoided people and relied on Izzy to work out front. Which he did, even showed up on time every day, but really didn’t know where to start.

But what to recommend? Everything here was so beautiful.

Izzy must’ve mistook your awe for silent judgement, because he crossed his arms and snorted. “It’s just guys who come in here, looking for flowers for their girl. I thought I’d meet a ton of chicks, and the only one I met was you.”

Oh. That pierced your heart like an unseen thorn.

“Shit,” he mumbled, “I didn’t mean it like that.”

Well, even if the man of your dreams just told you point-blank he wasn’t interested in you, he had enlisted your help. Fighting back hurt tears, you turned away from him to compose yourself and study the impressive inventory.

“Well,” and you were proud your voice hadn’t cracked, “carnations are no go.”

“Why?”

“Because they’re cheap and nasty and ugly.”

“Well, what if the girl is cheap and nasty and ugly?” He grinned at you, and that sight had just taken all the breath out of you. You’d forgotten everything, the sickening smell of all the flowers, his harsh dismissal of you, because it looked like the sun just came out.

You turned away from Izzy again to keep from just staring at him, then ran a devastated finger along the edge of a blood-red rose petal. “Roses are good,” you mumbled.

“I know. They’re too good. That’s what I’ve been suggesting to everyone, and Sylvia is chewing my ass because she wants me to move the other stuff.”

You looked around. “There’s mums,” you said, “but mums are kinda granny. Maybe an older gentleman would like those for his wife.”

Izzy sighed. “Man, I wish I got to drive the delivery truck. I think I’d like that a lot better.”

Then your eyes landed on the sweetest arrangement. It was small, but so vibrant and happy, bright pink daisies accented with purple thistles. It was just so perfect.

“Look, Izzy, look at this,” you indicated the little bouquet. “See these? The purple thistles? They’re so pretty and different and…dreamy.”

He lifted an eyebrow, but he was listening.

“Sell everything you have with thistles in it and you will make the women that receive them very happy. You will make your boss happy too.”

He nodded. “Thistles, huh. That’s what girls like?”

You were still smarting from his earlier comment, but tried hard not to show it. “They’ll love them.”

You smiled up at him, his fierce eyes softening as he looked at you. If only, you’d thought wistfully as you’d looked down.

Then adrenaline raced through you as you remembered, “I’ve got to get back to work!” and you shot out the door.

That afternoon was busy, although you weren’t able to give it your undivided attention. You gave your talk to the schoolchildren by rote, thinking about greenish brown eyes and the most beautiful smile you’d ever seen, and wondered if you were born under a bad sign.

The next day, after the various feedings, you were discarding mouse parts and half-eaten crickets in the back when you heard the front door open. You’d flung off your gloves and flown out front, but there had been no one there, just the bouquet of pink daisies and purple thistles.

“Thank you,” the card read, “for everything.”

IkeSen Daddies when their Child Walk for the First Time (ODA FORCES)

Hmm what would their reactions or scenes will be when their daughter / son walks for the first time ((o(*>ω<*)o))?

NOBUNAGA

It was another peaceful day when Nobunaga reads the documents in his hand, with MC by his side, playing with their first born.

He huffed, there's lots of documents to read and it really drained his energy. Then he glances at his jar of konpeito, reaching out to open its lid.

MC blinked when their daughter stop laughing, following where her attention goes to. It was the jar of rainbow candies in her father's hands.

"*gasp*! A-anata..!"

Nobunaga pauses before he could insert the first candy in his mouth and look at his wife, where she pointed at their daughter. "Anata..! Look!"

He then turned to his daughter and his carnelian eyes widened. His daughter trembled from standing for the first time, MC gulped as she took her first steps towards her father.

"Aahhh I wish I had a camera!!" MC tug on her husband's collar, and he put out the jar in front of him, opening his arms to his daughter.

"Come. You can do it." He chuckled as she's coming towards him more and more.

"Ahhh~ buu O 3 O." She nearly fell to the front, but before Nobunaga could catch her, she balances herself and hold onto the jar and let out a giggle.

Both of them fell silent, and MC shakes her husband "OH GOD NOBUNAGA DID YOU SEE THAT?? AAAHHH IT'S HER FIRST STEPS AAAHHH SO CUTEEEE..!!"

He chuckled throughout his wife's moments of happiness, lifting his daughter up into his arms and kissed her cheek many times. "I'm proud of you." He smiled as she nuzzle to his chest with a melodic giggle.

HIDEYOSHI

"Anata, could you hold ___ for a while? I need to take out his new pair of clothes."

Hideyoshi smiled to his son in his arms, cooing and kissing his nose and small hand that he place on his palm. His first born is so adorable, and he can't wait for him to grow up so he can spoil him and teach him with all he can offer.

"Alright, come ____, come to mommy~" MC take her son from Hideyoshi, and lay him down onto the soft futon to change into his sleeping clothes.

"Oh, it's time. MC, I will go out for a while for final check around the castle. Will be back less than an hour." He peck on MC's lips and his son's forehead. "I guess he will be sleeping by then. Good night, my son." He smiled softly before standing and walk towards the door.

"Eh.. Uhm.." His son whines. "Aww Honey.. Daddy will be back soon alri- *gasp*..!"

That perks her husband's ears. "MC? What's the matt-" He froze.

His son, despite being a baby, has a determined look on his face as he slowly stand on his legs, trembled to keep his own balance.

Hideyoshi automatically kneel down, surprised but eager to see how his son's first steps would be.

One, two.. And three steps. He nearly loses his balance but he managed to stand firm and continue to walk again. Four.. Five.. And six. He giggled as he tug on his father's sleeve, while his other hand tug on the other.

"Mmmf-" Hideyoshi hold back his tears as he glomp his son as a whole. "S-so cute..!! My son is so cute..!!!"

MC: Ahh my husband and son is so cute too .˚‧º·(ฅдฅ｡)‧º·˚. 💕💕💕!!!

MASAMUNE

"Mmm.." Masamune first born just woke up from her short nap. She blinked slowly to her smiling mother beside her, kissing her forehead with "Hello Honey~" before continuing to fix the hole in her husband's hakama.

"Daddy is cooking your dinner, he will come here soon, so wait for a moment okay?"

She giggled to her daughter's adorable face, turning to her work back until "Ouch!" She pricked on her finger. "Aahh.. Ow ow.. Now where's the bandage.." She opens every cabinet to no avail. "I guess I have to go see your Uncle Ieyasu for a while." MC take Shogetsu and place him near ____. "Could you please guard her for a while? Hehehe thank you Shogetsu."

Shogetsu purred, as if understanding what MC had said and curved its body all over ____. With that, MC went out to Ieyasu's chamber.

But then again.....

"...and next.." He plopped another mashed carrot into the porridge. "Okay, then.. Hmm. Oh..! The small bits of fis- oof..!"

Masamune look down. It was his daughter, standing while hugging around his right leg, with Shogetsu beside her. Ooh she can walk already. He smiled.

Wait.

She can walk-

"She-" He rubbed his only eye. "She can walk- AGDJSKSLFHF MC \(U A O)/!!!!"

BAM BAM BAM BAM! "ANATA!!!! ____ IS-..Missing..?"

Both of them were dumbfounded. Looks like their daughter had learned to walk by herself, with Shogetsu tagging and protecting her all along until she reach to her father's place.

IEYASU

Ieyasu rock his body back and forth, lulling his sleepy daughter in his arms. He lightly pat on her back, brushing on her short hair locks softly as she slowly fell asleep.

It was then Wasabi mewled outside his door, begging for food. "Hm? I thought I already feed her this morning.." He moved carefully, not to wake his daughter in his arms as he slide the door screen open.

"What is it Wasabi? You want to eat again?"

"Hmm.." His daughter whimpered. "Uh oh."

Wasabi mewled again.

"Oh damn-"

"Nnn.." His daughter woke up. Ieyasu nearly went pale when her whimper gradually change into a sob. He panicked some more when Wasabi bites on his sleeves. "H-hey..! Wasabi..! Be patient..! Ah- don't chew on it..!"

Then she stopped crying. This took her father's attention as she pull out her hands towards Wasabi. Ieyasu let out a sigh of relief; that saves him for now. He let his daughter touch on Wasabi's nose, and suddenly she struggle from his hold showing that she wanted to be released.

"No, no you can't. It is dangerous- *his daughter whimpered again* okay, okay, just becareful- tho I bet you understand what I'm saying." Ieyasu let go of his daughter and about to let her sit beside him, but she didn't.

She's standing on her legs and his eyes are big as a plate. "____? Uff-" Her daughter tugged on his scarf, unintentionally tightening the tightness around his neck. "Mmmf- w-wait..!" She started to walk whenever Wasabi moves, and tugging her father along by the neck.

Ieyasu didn't know which one to feel first. To be happy that she took her first steps or to feel sad she couldn't walk if he take her grip away from his scarf (somehow it's like a support for her to walk) or to be choked for a few minutes or from heaven's help, few seconds.

"My, Anata..! Our daughter had taken her first steps!!"

Ah another help from heaven, his wife had came back from her fabric shopping in town.

"Hehhehe she's playing with Wasabi..! Aren't they cute, Anata (∩´∀`∩)💕?"

"M-MC.. H-help-..!" Now he is thorned between happy or sad or get choked or let MC be happy for while until she notice he was choking or she could enjoy these moments until he fainted.

In the end, he fainted.

MITSUNARI

Whenever Mitsunari baby sit his son, he is not allowed to read a book. Why? Not only anything could happen, but he might missed any important moments.

His son's first steps nearly happen at one time. However it happen when Mitsunari was not looking. He is too engrossed in his book.

The second type it nearly happen. But the moment he put the book down, his son sits down too.

Now he is fidgeting. He didn't know what to do, other than reading a book during his free time. He wanted to snuggle his son in his arms but he also wanted to wait for the moment to come.

MC giggles every time he wanted to reach out and hug his son, but he goes "Mmnnn I can't!" And put his hand back. "Aaahh MC, what should I do (っ◞‸◟c)?"

"Awww Anata. It will happen one day, I'm sure of it."

"*sighs* okay. I guess I will.. Continue to get some more picture books for him." He slumped, turning around towards the door.

"Abubu..!"

He blinked, and slowly look from his shoulder. His heart give an excited "Thump!" when his son already standing on his feet. He giggled, taking one to two steps towards his father while MC gave a knowing smile when Mitsunari look at her happily.

"Come, my son..! You can do it..! I will always wait for you..!" Mitsunari smiled widely, opening his arms to his son. "Ah..!" He quickly catch his son in his arms when he loses his balance. Nevertheless he is overjoyed. "You did it!! MC! He did it!! I'm so happy!!" He kissed his son on his cheeks lovingly as he craddle him into his arms. (BAWWWWW ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ -author herself self explode on this-)

MITSUHIDE

Mitsuhide took his son from MC, as she has to tie her hair into a bun. The wind during the season has made her hair went messy and so it's hard for her to hold onto her son, and tucking her blown hair behind her ear at the same time.

"Hmm?" Mitsuhide could feel his son wriggle in his arms. "What's wrong?"

"Maybe he wanted to.. *gasp*" She look at her husband. "Maybe it's time for his first steps?"

"Hohoh not bad. You really got your braveness from your mother hmm? Let's try then."

Mitsuhide let his son tug on his upper sleeve as support as he slowly tried to stand on his own legs. When he completely stable, Mitsuhide carefully let go of his son, watching him take his first step.

Despite his teasing just now, his eyes twinkle from happiness, so does MC. He is a doting father, tho he won't admit it.

"Nnn!"

MC nearly jolt when he about to fell backwards, releasing a sigh of relief when he get to balance himself back.

Then he stopped, turning around to face his parents fully with a giggle.

Mitsuhide laugh softly, smiling at his son with full of proudness.

Letter (Dresden AU)

“Bitte, grrnk! I can bear no more, nmmmak! Shoot me, erk! Put me out of my misery.”

“Stop whining.”

“Du Unhold! You are enjoying this nnmph! This inhuman torture.”

A giggling reply. “Of course not. I just like playing doctor. Pity, a few snips and it will all be over.”

“Eeeungh! Nmmph! Glk . . . Gggnmmph!”

“Okay, okay. I’m finished already.”

“Aaahhh, wonne. Danke, Katzchen, danke. Ooaah, wunderbar . . . the itch was driving me wahnsinnig.”

Kitty helped pry away the last pieces of plaster. “You’re lucky Moira said it was okay to remove the cast, Kurt. I’d have left it on for another month.”

“To teach me the consequences of violence, I presume.”

“No, that’s a risk we all accept.” She carded her fingers lightly through the matted fur, carefully smoothing out some of the tangles that had formed in the past month. “I meant you’re lucky that you heal so quickly. Most people would take about another eight weeks to knit. There’s no significant muscle wastage either. How do you feel?”

Kurt stood and stretched, bringing his knee up to his chest. “Starr. And a little weak. Mostly I’m just off-balance- I have grown used to compensating for the weight of the cast.”

“You’ll just have to take it easy for the next few days.”

“I have not the time. I received a letter, via Jean Grey, from an old friend, Jutta. She needs my help so I am leaving for Germany within the hour.” He hesitated then looked at his young friend. “Would you like to come?”

Kitty gave him one of her lopsided smiles. “Sorry, I can’t. I got a letter too, from one of my cousins.”

“Wer?”

“Connie Barrowill, on my dad’s side. No, you don’t know her, we’re not close. But she’s in college right now and apparently having a bit of trouble. Since she’s only a few years older than me, her dad asked that I fly over and see how she’s doing, maybe give her some advice.”

“Ah, well, family is family after all. I wanted to introduce you to my friends from the circus, but it looks like it will have to wait for another time. I will bring you back a souvenir.”

~~~~~~~

“Connie? Connie, are you there? It’s me, Kitty.” Shadowcat looked around the campus. She supposed all colleges had similarities, but while Chicago had had a mix of gothic stone and modern concrete architecture, Oklahoma was all brick, much more cohesive. Also, flat as a pancake.

“Kitty? Hey, I wasn’t expecting you!” Connie was just a few inches taller than her, with blonde hair, tanned skin, and blue eyes. She looked like a stereotypical cheerleader actually, which never failed to annoy Kitty a little. Everyone else in the Court looked like a supermodel and she just looked like the girl next door. And if what Thomas told her was right, she’d keep looking like that for the next hundred years or so.

“Yeah, your dad called me. Said you were having some difficulty with . . . school and that I might be able to answer some questions for you.” Kitty felt stupid trying to convey her meaning with pauses and eyebrows, but they were in public.

“Oh? Oh! Yes, just some stuff you’ll probably find easy. Here, come in!” Connie stopped standing in the doorway and let Kitty into the dorm. They walked up three flights of stairs to Connie’s single room. Kitty was surprised, there was an aura of lust in the corridor so thick she was surprised normal humans couldn’t detect it.

Once the door was shut, they both dropped the pretense. “So what happened?”

“Well . . . I take it you know all about our-”

“Our little nutrition problem. Yes, I do. But you . . . “ Kitty gave her cousin a good once over. “But you haven’t changed. I’m surprised, Lord Raith doesn’t allow fledglings to be told about their heritage until-”

“Until it’s too late. Yeah, that’s the thing. Um, Dad said you . . . had an unusual transition.”

Kitty stared at her cousin. She let out a sigh. “Yeah. Mind control. A body jumper took over and he knew my background. Decided he wanted all the perks that came with being a vampire, and arranged for the right circumstances then did the deed.”

“So there wasn’t any decision making involved,” muttered the blonde.

“Connie, what exactly happened to you?”

“Oh, um,” her cousin took a deep breath. “I brought my boyfriend up to my room to make-out. We didn’t go all the way,” So that explained some things. “But it was enough to trigger the Hunger.”

“Soo . . . I don’t understand. Do you want to complete the transformation? Just invite the boy over and drain him. Simple enough.”

“No!” Then Connie’s voice dropped. “Or well, it’s not that simple.”

“Do you not want to be a vampire? I can understand that.”

“Maybe. I’m not sure. How would you go about doing that?”

“Hmph. Normally I wouldn’t tell you this information, but since you already know about the Masquerade . . . there’s really only one chance at this. The first time you have sex and-” Kitty side-eyed her cousin. “-go all the way. If you have sex with someone who truly loves you and who you truly love in return, it poisons the demon and kills them. Then you’ll live the rest of your life as a normal human, and have normal human kids. But if it’s anyone else, you’ll kill them and become a Pale Hunter.” She paused. “How did the guy last long enough that this became an issue?”

“Oh, it turns out he’s the son of a Forest Person. Dad apparently did some mojo so I’d screw him to death, but he’s got enough resistance that he was unaffected.”

“That explains the aura out in the corridor. Was that all you needed?”

“Er, no. Some of the other Forest People blocked Dad’s influence, said they’d give me time to decide if I really wanted to become a vampire or not. I told Dad that since I actually had a choice, I wanted to know more about it. So I guess he sent you.”

Kitty leaned back in the chair she had grabbed from Connie’s desk. “Pros and cons then. You already know what it’s like to be human, so I’ll leave that alone. Cons: once you turn into a vampire you have to feed, you have no choice. If you go too long without it, or something causes you to drain your resources too low, the demon will take over and attack and kill people to feed. And every time the demon does that, it takes a toll on your mind. Go into a frenzy often enough, and eventually, you’ll never come out of it. You’ll just be a mindless monster.

Are you taking notes on this? You’ll remember it better if you write it down.”

Connie grabbed the notepad Kitty held out to her. “You’re not worried people might come across proof of the supernatural?”

Kitty snorted. “The Masquerade isn’t that fragile. If anyone asks, tell them you were brainstorming a story with me. Shall I go on?” The blonde nodded. “Okay, pros now. You get enhanced senses and strength and durability. Feeding regularly will give you a healing factor, feed enough and you can survive being set on fire and almost being cut in half.” At Connie’s wide-eyed look, Kitty continued. “That’s not hyperbole, I’ve actually seen Laura do the exact thing. It’s not the most powerful healing factor I’ve seen but it’s definitely up there. Anyway, going on. It enhances all your physical characteristics, strength (“You said that already”), speed, endurance, dexterity. Your lifespan also increases, Lord Raith and Laura have lived for centuries.”

The older girl continued to make notes. “Any drawbacks? Sunlight and things?”

“Nope, that’s a different court. No problems with sunlight or silver or iron or religious symbols.” To prove her point, Kitty opened up the collar of her shirt to show Connie the Star of David she wore. “Um, you can cross thresholds without being invited, but that does limit your abilities to human norm though.”

“So no weaknesses at all?”

“A few. We’re definitely not as strong as the other vampire courts. Also, we have a vulnerability to some types of positive emotion.” Kitty though for a second. “You and you’re dad are part of House Ashma that feeds on rage. So trying to feed off of someone who’s serene or coming into contact with symbols of that could hurt you.

There are some other things that pertain to magic, but that’s not going to be an issue unless you actually become one. Anything else you want to know?”

“So if I,” Connie hesitated then continued. “If I don’t want to become a vampire, I don’t have to swear a vow of celibacy or anything like that?”

“And what’s wrong with being celibate? But no, you just have to make sure that your first time is with someone who really loves you and who you love in return.”

“What about your mutant powers? Does it help those?”

Now it was Kitty’s turn to look wide-eyed. “Charles told you that?”

“It was supposed to be a secret?”

“Well, not really I guess. I haven’t been hiding it, but I haven’t been advertising it to the rest of the family, that’s all.” She shook her head. “Honestly, it’s hard to say. I pretty much got them at the same time. But I don’t think so? I can still use my mutant ability even when my vampire ones are cut off, like when I go somewhere uninvited or warded with a magic circle. And it doesn’t depend on my feeding either.”

The elder looked over her notes. “This is all really great information, Kitty. But it doesn’t answer my question.” Summer blue eyes looked into paler, icier ones. “You weren’t given a choice. But if you had been given one, would you have become a vampire?”

She hissed out between her teeth. “That’s a very difficult question. On one hand, I really hate how I transitioned. I hate the fact I wasn’t given a choice, that someone else was puppeteering my body around, that he chose to kill an innocent to kick-start my powers. But on the other hand, I love the abilities that being a vampire gives me. I don’t think I’d be nearly as good a fighter without those abilities and they certainly make me a much more valuable member of the X-Men and Excalibur. And of course, on the gripping hand, there’s the whole fact I had to kill someone to be like this and can enthrall people and may kill other people in the future.”

“That’s not a yes or no answer.”

Kitty sucked in another breath. “If this was a question with easy answers you wouldn’t need my help now, would you?” Connie closed her eyes and dipped her head. “I think, when it comes down to it, I do like being a vampire. And if I had a choice I would do it again, even with how traumatic the transitioning was. I’d prefer to do it under different circumstances, I mean, I could think of a lot of people who need killing after all, but even if I had to do it that way, I still would.”

“Thanks, Kitty.” If the two of them had been closer, Connie might have risked hugging the younger girl. As is, she settled for a firm handshake. “That’s all I needed to know.”

hobi x y/n just sitting down and journaling together, whether it be digital journaling, pen to paper journaling, and filming a journal with me video together. ( this really is just for me to feed the y/n college life that I can only dream of)(tbh,its really hard to imagine hobi journaling, so maybe have him just looking at me journals?? looking at my old journals maybe instead of writing his own?? or maybe even being a brat and going off on how it doesn't help him and he thinks that its weird)

(cont.) + and like, continuing what i just wrote, maybe he’s reading my old journals and talking about the past me vs the present me??? ( I’m just giving u ideas I swear I’m not trying to direct u onto writing like a commission or some ish) 🙇🏻‍♀️

GENRE. fluff; angst (minimal)

CHARACTERS. jung hoseok x reader | no supporting character.

W.C. 2K

AUTHOR`S NOTE. this is, at the end became a really cosy fic. i, though planned to write something energetically―maybe it`s because i was listening to this while writing, i ended up making a peaceful fic. anyway, thanks for sending in your idea, baby! and happy reading, bub!

LIYAN`S VERSION | the one who requested.

[10:44 AM] [and, there will only remain the words we wrote.]

―beads of perspiration gather up across your forehead sticking your baby hairs against it in that annoying way as ever. but you had to finish your laundry, so you lift your laundry basket up in both of your arms and walked further away from your apartment and towards the destination.

hoseok had exactly ten minutes left before he arrives at your place from his quick visit at the dance academy but while on his way towards your place, he couldn`t pin out what came over his mind, he dropped by a stationery shop to buy some stickers because he knows you love them but you also love it the best when he buys them for you as a complimentary gift.

though his ways of telling you are very little and like flash before your eyes, you`re always quick enough to catch up on it. after all, you had your own ways of knowing him.

you witness the flush of the water inside the machine and the cup of coffee that you held in your hand remain tightly captured in your palm. you`ve always been a nervous wreck whenever you hold something in your hand. it`s strange how this might look really ridiculous to others but for you, this is the one thing you`re scared of and that`s letting go.

you feel the constant tapping of your feet and as you look at the clock on the wall and the spins of the machine simultaneously your mind goes back to that one place your person lives. you understand that you can`t wait to reach to him.

as you hear the sudden alarm of your laundry being finished, you jump from your seat, flipping the now empty cup in the bin next to you. crouching down in front of the machine, you pull out the washed clothes and settle them rather messily in the laundry basket. there`s a rush in your system and you could almost feel it reaching the tip of your fingers now. you watch the slight tremble of your fingers but chose to quickly rub it off you head.

no one knows apart from you that it`s been five months and finally you were having hoseok over at your place. when you had offered to visit him at his dance academy, he said not to worry about that and offered himself to come over at your place.

you smile at the casual remembrance and walk out of the laundry shop, your arms now filled with energy.

hoseok, who has another set of keys jiggling happily in his jean`s pockets, took them out ever so carefully and used it to open the door of your apartment but was met with a sudden empty air when he realizes that you`re currently not at home. his eyes quickly shift to the brand new neatly white painted chair and table you had bought two weeks ago. you had sent him the pictures the moment you settled them in their current place, right at the front of the biggest window of your apartment.

he walks forward, taking out the stickers he bought while on his way here. some days he would end up buying a whole month`s supply of stickers for you and that someday somehow ended up becoming today. he knows already that you`re probably going to scold him as usual but that`s not the biggest issue here. he was getting worried where you would be at this hour. it is disgustingly hot outside and he hoped you`re wearing light clothes.

while he kept himself worried, he decides to revert his attention on the occupants of the neatly coloured table. the top of the table doesn`t look much neat in his eyes but it looks kind of aesthetic which hoseok didn`t complain about. he knows you`re a little messy so he keeps himself casual and doesn`t bring up his own neat freak from inside. he settles himself in the chair and picks up the journal that was closest to his reach.

seeing from a far, anyone can tell how much that table said about the owner herself. the flowers are fresh as usual, which means the owner changes it every day. the lampstand is clean as a white cream, the pencils, the pens, the markers, the highlighters, the thin ribbons, the gum stick, the whitener and last but not the least the still stocked stickers. each and everything was sitting in their designated place. if anyone wanted to know if the owner has a person close to her or not, they can look at the photo collage stand where polaroids of her and her person`s smiling faces are prominently visible. their happy moments are captured in time and though the time has frozen in that particular picture, the feelings inside those two humans grow with abundant depth.

it dawns upon hoseok how much he has missed you. when he traces the edge of the journal with his fingers, he dies to feel a little bit of your warmth against his own too. without another thought, he opens up the journal to the page you last wrote:

[sunflower sticker] day 152 / time: 07:23 AM―first of all, today we`re going to use only sunflowers and if i run out of sunflowers we`ll use the sun because today hobi is coming back after five months!!! i missed him a lot [sad emoji] and i`m so happy that today he`s finally coming over. i don`t know why but i`ve a feeling that he`ll probably buy a bunch of stickers again. the weather seems better today. it`s been less gloomy and too much sunny. i hope it doesn`t become too hot later on. [three extra sun stickers]

[ten sun + two sunflowers stickers] time: 10:30 AM―TOO MUCH HOTNESS and i`ve too many laundries to do. ugh, [angry emoji] why didn`t i notice that i was piling up so much, maybe college was too stressful this week (?). it`s almost time and he`ll be here and i don`t want to get a nag from him because of how much messy and lazy i become when he isn`t here. anyway, it`s getting late. i should probably get down to business.

so you must be at the laundry right now―

as hoseok`s realization dawns upon him, he hears the sound of the entrance door opening. he gets up immediately and pushes back the chair in its place.

“aaahhh for a second, i thought i didn`t lock the door!” you exclaim, putting down the laundry basket in the rack beside the washroom, “also―”

without realizing what happened in front of your eyes, you feel trapped inside the warm encasement of hoseok`s arms and chest pressing right against you. you try squinting your eyes open and your eyelashes were met with the slightly moist strands of hoseok`s hair. your fingers move to softly caress them. so, he`s really been growing his hair out. you feel him giving you soft pressed kisses against your neck and as you crane your neck a little to give him that extra access, he pulls his face away only to lean in and give you a kiss on your mouth. it`s like you had the fastest shift in your moods and you weren`t complaining in any way.

“hobi―” you try speaking only to be cut off as he gives another kiss at the corner of your lips, “no talking.”

“but―” he pulls you against him much more tightly before you could finish your second attempt at talking. right that moment you realize that you`re completely wrapped in his arms, he had completely captured you in the nest and you had no other way out but to finally return the gaze he has upon you.

“i saw you were reading my journal.” you say and almost thanked the heavens for not letting him stop your mid-start.

he nods his head slowly and pushes out his lower lip humming at you, “you were all sunflowers and suns today. care to give out the reason?”

“i was planning to but then i thought i will let you figure it out.” you shake your head with disapproval.

“oh, but baby i already got it.” and when he smiled like that, you felt like your heart collapse from the insides of your ribs and ended up at the pit of your intestines. your felt your neck heating up while you tried wiggling out of his grip.

this time, hoseok did let you out of his embrace and followed you as you sat down to write down the next update of your day`s whereabouts. as your hand reached for the pen, you saw a sandpaper bag sitting there when it wasn’t there this morning. you lift your head up to catch the anticipation filled eyes of hoseok.

“i―” i always tell you not to do this, you almost said your usual sentence but because you are seeing him after a long time and because of your inner anxiety for people and things leaving you behind didn`t work out on hoseok, you decided to vocally appreciate his effort of at least remembering your likes. “i`m glad you always do this for me,” you tangle your fingers with his slim ones, his veins providing the smooth crests and troughs against your skin and before hoseok see through your mind, you take his hand and lay them across your cheek, closing your eyes for a moment taking in that familiar sense of protection and warmth from him. “i`m glad you`re here again. i missed you a lot.”

when hoseok leans in and holds your face against his stomach, he caresses the top of your head.

“i missed you a lot too. i couldn`t wait to come back home and see you doing things you love, saying things that are on your mind, eating things you crave for, and mostly, i missed reading your daily journals. i missed living in your world.”

later that afternoon, while you were lying down on your futon beside the table and reading the newly bought book after a heavy lunch date with hoseok, you watched him sitting at your place in the chair and with a heavily concentrated face he was taking one sticker out at once and pasting them on the sides of your writings, sometimes he was taking the markers to draw little lilies and sunflowers, sometimes he added little messages like reply here and there in-between your lines.

and, you, more than concentrating on the contents of the book in your hand or the interactions in-between the characters were mostly invested in observing the wonders that hoseok`s hands did and you were sure you felt tingles inside your chest when you saw him smiling that satisfied smile whenever he was happy with his input. his hair which has been growing out a lot faster these days gave him a casual and carefree look. his extremely loose white tee and his tightly fitted jeans gave him such a beautiful look, you thought how can a person look this ethereal without even giving any effort. also, the descending sunlight that covered the place where he sat. the fading sun illuminated and made his smile into a bigger picture.

you sigh and he catches that giving you smiling eyes before going back to doing what he was into. you stretch out your legs further and finally looked back at your opened book and dived in with the smell of happiness lingering in the air around you.
