End Of The World : ĚĚâ Lando Norris
summary: you were fine that morning, so when lando suddenly gets a phone call that changes his things upside down, it feels as if his world has come crashing down
His heart sunk as Lando tried to get his head around what he was told on the phone. It was a blur of words to him as Lando tried to piece it altogether, tears falling freely down his cheeks. His knees buckled from underneath him as Lando dropped down into a chair, his breath shaky, heart racing as the call came to an end.Â
He couldnât quite believe it, your smile the last thing he saw that morning. Yet after being hit on your way to work, Landoâs world suddenly felt as if it was crashing down, hearing that your unconscious body had been transported to the nearest hospital.Â
âI-I need to go,â Lando stuttered as he stood up from the meeting, rushing out of the building before anyone could reply. Panicked eyes watched Lando, but he was long gone, sprinting as fast as he could out of the building to where his car was parked. The journey was a blur as Lando blinked through his tears, hurrying into the hospital, shouting out your name.Â
He was stopped by a doctor holding onto his shoulders, noticing how distressed he was.Â
âRight this way,â the doctor told him, leading him down the corridor to where Lando could find you. âThere is one thing that I must tell you first, your girlfriend is not in a good way. Thereâs extensive damage, most of it physical, which you need to prepare for.âÂ
âI donât care,â Lando whispered, âI just want to be with her, please.âÂ
As the door to your room opened, a sharp intake of breath came from him. Lando couldnât believe his eyes as he noticed the cuts and grazes all over your body, the machines around your bedside with cables attached to your body to keep you alive.Â
âOh, love,â Lando hummed, rushing to sit down beside you, placing his hand delicately over yours. You were cold, fragile, nothing like the warmth he usually received from you. âIâm here now,â Lando told you, brushing the pad of his thumb over the back of your hand. âSheâs going to be alright, isnât she?âÂ
âSheâs stable,â the doctor informed him, standing in the doorway to your room. âThe injuries are quite severe; weâre going to have to be closely monitoring your partner for a little while longer before we can make any decisions.âÂ
âIs there going to be any lasting damage? Permanently?âÂ
âMost of her injuries will heal with time,â the doctor tried his best to assure Lando, offering him a weak smile. âIt sounds like the driver lost control of their car when they hit your partnerâs, she overturned into the road,â he added, watching Lando flinch as he pictured the scene of the crash. Â
All he could see was your car, with you terrified inside of it. Lando hated thinking about how you felt, how scared you must have been when that impact came, all alone in your car. He could imagine you calling out for him to help you, only he was nowhere to be found.Â
His free hand continued to wipe under his eyes as Lando continued to study you. Heâd lost count of how many marks he found, bruises, scrapes, cuts, not to mention the dry blood that was in your hairline. He wished he could do something, anything, to take the pain away.Â
The doctor left the room, leaving Lando all by himself with you, giving him the time that he needed. His mind was racing with his own thoughts as his eyes stayed staring down at you, struggling to believe how his life had managed to turn upside down in only a blink of an eye.Â
âIâm not leaving your side,â Lando whispered as he squeezed your hand, âI promise that youâre going to be alright.âÂ
The lack of response from you sent a shiver down Landoâs spine. Usually youâd laugh, or smile, give him some sort of reaction, but instead Lando was left with nothing from you.Â
âI hate that you went through this all alone,â Lando added, moving one of his hands to brush over the top of your head through your hair. âI love you, however long you need to Iâm going to be there for you. I know I joke about telling you to shut up all the time, but now I really could do with hearing your voice sweetheart.âÂ
The only sound in the room was the beep of the machines, letting Lando know that you were still there. It was a steady beat, which the doctor assured him was a good sign, but the only sign that Lando would take was the one when your eyes opened up.Â
The hours he spent at the hospital soon became days, turning into a couple of weeks. Lando could hardly remember what the outside looked like as he spent every possible second with you, making sure that you knew that he was right there with you.Â
When they could, his family and friends would stay with him for a while, even some of the other drivers had stopped by too. Mostly they were there to check on Lando, knowing that heâd no doubt neglect himself as he tried to focus all his energy on you instead.Â
âThere you are,â one of the nurses smiled as Lando walked through the hospital doors again, rushing down the corridor to get to him. âWe were wondering if we were going to see you again.âÂ
Lando looked suspiciously across at her, following behind as she walked down to where your room was. âHas something happened?âÂ
âDonât worry,â she smiled, saying nothing more as they got to the door to your room. âIâll come and see how sheâs getting on in a bit.âÂ
Lando nodded as he opened up the door, placing his phone into his pocket that he held. The regular beeping greeted him, although as Landoâs eyes looked up, his heart stopped as he saw a familiar pair of eyes staring back across at him.Â
Lando rushed in, taking his usual seat beside you.Â
âYouâre awake,â he whispered, leaning across and pressing a kiss to your forehead. âAre you alright? Do you need anything?â Lando fretted, eyes studying you closely.Â
Your head faintly shook, the amount of pain you were in evident from the expression that was on your face. âIâm fine,â you whispered, your voice barely audible.Â
A sigh came from Lando as he heard just how weak you were for the very first time. âYouâve got no idea how scared I was, I thought I was going to lose you, like the end of the world or something.âÂ
There was a look of disbelief on Landoâs face as he held onto your hand, struggling to believe that you were there with him. It would still be a long recovery for you, but it was the start that he had been hoping for.Â
âYouâve got no idea how many people have stopped by to visit you,â Lando told you, âI always knew that everyone adored you, but I had no idea just how much, theyâre all going to be so happy to hear youâre awake.âÂ
Your smile slowly turned up as Lando spoke, your mind was foggy as you tried to figure how much you had missed, still so uncertain as to what had happened.Â
âYouâre going to be alright,â Lando smiled, squeezing against your hand once again. âIâm going to be with you every single second, I promise.âÂ
âW-what happened?â You stuttered, voice faltering as you looked to Lando to try and make sense of everything and fit the missing jigsaw pieces together.Â
Lando frowned, âyour car was overturned, some guy lost control and went crashing into you, but you donât need to worry about that, everything is getting sorted.âÂ
Your head nodded as Lando pressed a kiss to your cheek. âI love you,â you whispered as his ear brushed your lips.Â
âI love you too, Iâm so glad that youâre okay.âÂ

Reblogging w thr most devastating comment someone left on here-
i like a combination of the two ideas - on one hand, yes this is just a husk Viktor's controlling. I wouldn't be surprised if *most* of Jayce is gone - at the very least, he has been stripped of all agency and autonomy he has to make Viktor feel less crushingly alone, and any will he could possibly have does nothing to help him.
On the other hand... I don't think Viktor would need to move the eyes in their sockets when all he really has to do is have husk!Jayce let go of the hammer after moving it forward a little. it's... not a process that requires that much hand-eye coordination, so there's no need to access line-of-sight.
instead, I like to take a third, secret, more fucked up option:
*jayce's consciousness is stuck helpless in that body.*
I think this could work narratively for one particular reason; for as much as Viktor wishes to assimilate Jayce, the thing that makes him love Jayce so much is that he's himself. Not just a will Viktor bent to his control. So, on a *subconscious* level, he wants Jayce to say as his own unique person that will always be at Viktor's side.
...The problem with this. is that, on a *conscious* level, Viktor is trying to assimilate everyone under his control into their absolute perfected selves who will never cause conflict or harm or suffering ever again. All bodies and beings within the Arcane are *entirely* subsumed as part of his network, no longer unique or special or separate from him. Meaning that, in all the ways that matter to Viktor, Jayce would no longer be around.
and, as such, he tries to have both things at once without even realizing it. Jayce's mind is left intact, but his physical form and presence in the Arcane can only follow Viktor's will. So Jayce's mind is shunted out of the Arcane and sealed away helpless inside his old form, that he can only move at all when he doesn't go *against Viktor's will* as Viktor actively controls it (thus shifting eyes). Viktor never realized this.
Omg guys??? The eye movement??? Are you telling me Jayce is alive in there??? And are you telling me this means Viktor chills with him so he wonât be alone for eternity???

I Love You, I'm Sorry: Viktor x Reader
Based off of this reply on my last Viktor fic:
@lillycore : Duddee, imagine after the final scene between Viktor and Jayce they just disappear (I refuse to believe they both died, Iâm just going believe, until itâs confirmed, that they simply teleported somewhere else), leaving reader alone without a chance to confront Viktor and believing they both died. So now, reader is left to pick up the pieces of her closest friend and love of her life gone, while believing Viktor no longer loves her (he does though, he was just a little confused with everything, but he still loves her)
Words: 1.2k
Author's Notes: Thank you all so much for the notes and kind words on my last Viktor fic, it truly means the world to me as a writer to see so many people touched by my writing. I hope you enjoy this equally devastating part 2.
Theyâre gone. Theyâre really gone.
No family, no friends, not a single loved one of yours survived this damn war. All this world has done is take, take, take.
Youâre haunted by the last time you saw your beloved Viktorâcompletely unrecognizable. He had turned himself into a monster, disappearing with Jayce trying to save him. You didnât even get to say goodbye, you didnât even get to tell him you still love him.
Or ask if he still loved you.
You donât know what would hurt less, believing he stopped loving you, or believing he did everything he did while loving you.
-
âWhy canât she hear me?â Viktor shouts into the void. Heâs been calling your name for what feels like an eternity, his voice no longer carrying to your world.
Jayce puts a comforting hand on his shoulder, âYou donât have vessels to speak through anymore. She probably thinks weâre dead. Well, maybe we areâŚâ
âNo, no, this canât be the end,â Viktor shakes his head vigorously. âI have to get back to her. She...she needs to know I love her. She needs to know Iâm sorry.â
He falls to his knees amongst the stars, cursing himself for everything. How could he choose the hexcore over you? Why didnât he seek you out when he survived the explosion? How did he let himself descend so far into madness that he forgot about your importance to him?
Heâs now desperate for you to hear him, pleading the forces that bind his consciousness to this astral plane for another chance. He searches this dimension heâs come to know so well, looking for a loophole or tear in the fabric, but itâs no use. Everything has been closedâhis supposed eternal consequence for his abuse of power.
Jayce saved him from himself, a feat he will forever be indebted to him for, but what is the point of redemption if he cannot live it out in his own flesh?
Would there have been a body left for him anyway? Would you still have loved him as the monstrosity he became?
Why must he still be cursed with the full vision of the universe? He sees you continue your life so clearly, but he canât touch you, canât speak to you. Your form shines the brightest light heâs ever seem in this dimension, an achievement that is not easily matched. He wonders if you can feel him reaching out to you, some sort of spiritual pull back to him. He will do anything to find a way to talk to you again.
-
Youâve been having dreamsâdreams you canât explain. Ever since Viktorâs disappearance, heâs tormented you day and night, constantly occupying your thoughts without mercy. You can hear his voice, but it sounds so far away you can never make out the words. You just wish it would all stop. You wish you could just erase him and all of the pain from your memory.
Sometimes you still feel a presence, the feeling you used to feel when he was in the same vicinity with you, admiring you from across a room. Itâs a familiar warmth that used to wash you with peace, whereas now it makes your heart ache. You suppose itâs a normal symptom of grief, subconsciously denying that heâs really gone.
You start to go through his things he left at your house, beginning with his various textbooks and notebooks he would bring over for studying. Seeing his scribbles and handwriting again brings tears to your eyes, a single drop falling onto the paper as you read.
You blink a few times, seeing a couple of letters on the page start to glow. You must be seeing things, hallucinating from sleep deprivation. You close the journal and open it again, but the glowing letters are still there.
You grab a separate piece of paper and write down each glowing letter, finding fifteen total.
âI - L-O-V-E - Y-O-U - I-M - S-O-R-R-Yâ
This isnât happening. It canât be.
-
âItâs working! She got my message!â Viktor exclaims.
âHow...how are you doing that?â Jayce asks.
âTiny rips in spaceânot big enough for either of us to escape throughâbut certainly big enough to briefly touch that reality,â Viktor pauses, still waiting for a response from you, but it doesnât come.
-
You close the journal and sob, praying for an end to this misery. Your mind is playing tricks on you, deceiving you to a level you never thought possible. Must you be haunted by this forever? Must you endure the aftermath of this trauma?
You open it once again, the letters still glowing, but they start to fade right in front of your eyes. A new set of letters begin to glow, so you write those down as well.
âI-T-S - M-E - D-A-R-L-I-N-Gâ
And then another set of letters.
âP-L-E-A-S-E - T-A-L-K - T-O - M-Eâ
Maybe youâre not imagining.
Youâve heard of magicians who can converse with the dead, and the possibility of other dimensional planes and universes. Viktor himself had some theories about it, although he never pursued proving them. Could it really be possible that your beloved was speaking to you?
âViktor?â you say out loud. âAre you...are you alive?â
âI - D-O-N-T - K-N-O-Wâ
The pencil drops from your hand again as your head falls to the table. His consciousness is somehow alive, clearly, but thereâs no way he can explain to you where he is and how to get him out one letter at a time. Youâre nowhere near his level of intellectâeven if he explained how to rescue him like youâre five years oldâyou fear you still would mess something up.
âViktor...I canât do this. You canât do this to me,â you sigh, daring to look at the words again. âYou abandoned me, and now my life is a living hell because of the destruction you helped cause. I want nothing to do with your war and stupid glorious evolution. So if youâre not here to take me away from this life, please go away.â
The same original words start glowing again, brighter each time they sequence:
I love you, Iâm sorry.
I love you, Iâm sorry.
I love you, Iâm sorry.
âLove doesnât do what you did. Love doesnât abandon its humanity for power.â
Please forgive me.
âI do forgive you for everything, Viktor. Thatâs exactly why I need to forget about you, because I will never stop loving you and hurting for it if I donât.â
With blurry eyes, you close the journal and throw it into the fireplace, regretting it almost immediately. You grab a stick and pull it out, your tears falling onto the soot-stained cover.
âPlease, just...find a way back to me.â
I will.

"I don't like your stupid, white hair."Â
"And I don't like your boring, brown hair, buddy."
"W-well... well, I don't like your ugly, doo-doo face!"
"Your mama does."Â
The two could go bickering like this for hours on end if you let them. What may seem to be a mutually digressive arrangement is actually an oddly adorable bonding in disguise. Satoru and your son put on a front of being annoyed at the other's presence, but you've never seen them apart for longer than a few minutes at a time. They've grown on each other; much like how moss grows on a statue that's been lingering out in the open. An indispensable cycle of life that's truly inevitable.Â
"No, she doesn't! She doesn't! She likes... sof- sofis... sofistogated guys."
"You mean sophisticated?"
"Shut up!"Â
You'd been terrified that your little one wouldn't have a father-figure to rely on anymore after you divorced your husband. However, it was something you had to do for his sake. The child deserved to live in an environment that wasn't always reeking of alcohol, where he wasn't subjected to the constant, drunk yelling of a pathetic excuse of a father who couldn't get his shit together and lazed around at home all day while you did all the work. If that meant that you'd have to raise him on his own, then so be it. At least he'd be raised properly. Signing those papers was, by far, the easiest decision you'd ever made.Â
"I'm not shutting up because a kid in clothes too big for him is telling me to."
"You... you're the one always wearing tight clothes around the house to impress my mama."
"No, that's because I'm ripped. Gotta show off what I've got. And your mama loves that."Â
"Oh, yeah? That means you show off your... your - um... ugly, doo-doo face!"
Would you regard it a miracle that Satoru just so happened to stumble into your life around that very time? Well, relatively. Meeting him wasn't something you'd planned, nor anticipated. The kind stranger who offered to pay for your order at a cafĂŠ a year ago has somehow, thanks to quite a romantic sequence of events, turned into your boyfriend; a rock to lean on for when you need the support. And, also, someone that your little one can look up to (with the fun, bonus benefit of the pair getting into silly, childish quarrels nine times out of ten). What is Satoru if not a three-hundred-and-thirty-six-month-old toddler, too? Puts your five-year-old to utter shame with the way he acts.Â
"Enough. Baby, we've been over this before. Behave."
"But, mama, he's being a meanie!" "But, babe, he's acting all pretentious."Â
The responses come simultaneously: one is high pitched and whiny, and the other is your son. Sometimes, you have to pause and ask yourself how you haven't gone insane yet. It's the love that keeps you from falling apart. How could you ever harbor any other feeling for these two, except for wanting to cherish them? You just... need to work on a pet name that doesn't apply to the both of them at once. Â
"I don't want to hear it. Sweetie, finish your lunch. And, Satoru?"Â
"Yes, honey-who-loves-me-and-my-'ugly, doo-doo'-face?" He's smirking, snickering, while saying this, the sly bastard. When will the pair ever relent on trying to one-up the other?Â
"Why have you got one of my hair ties on your wris- never mind. Don't forget to change the sheets in our room. I'd do it myself if not for the meeting I need to get to in an hour."Â
"Yes, ma'am."Â
Cue a tiny gasp.Â
"But, mama..." The voice of your little one breaks the peaceful silence at the dining table once again. His legs start kicking back and forth - a sign that he's growing restless - from the chair they're dangling off of. He's got a protest already forming up in that head of his. "Toru said he'd take me to the skate park today. And he promised to get ice cream after."
Toru, huh? That's new. You can't help the smile that paints itself on your lips. The two have been getting along pretty well, it seems, contrary to all the bickering they do. That's always nice to know. It's amusing to see the dynamic they've built. One second, they're riling each other up to no end, the next, they've already formed a secret alliance to go out and have fun together. How cute. "Is that so?"
"Mhm! So that means we need to leave riiight after I finish my lunch. Don't get mad, okay?"Â
It's the small things like these that warm your heart. Some sacrifices can be made if it's in regards to this adorable (step, even though you haven't married Satoru yet)father-son moment. The sheets are insignificant right now. "Awwh. Of course I won't get mad, baby. It's good for you to want to spend more time with Satoru. Isn't he a fun guy?"
"... maybe."Â
. . .Â
"Just make sure he's safe out there. Helmet and gear on at all times, no big ramps. And don't let him eat too much sugar. He'll get hyper. Once the rush dies down, he'll get cranky -"
Satoru's arm wraps around your waist before you can finish your sentence, pulling you overwhelmingly close to his frame. Instinctively, your arms move to wrap around his neck, just the way Satoru likes it. Oh, how he wants to just throw everything else out the window and drag you to the nearest room with a lock in place.
"You -" A quick peck to your lips, followed by a nibble on your bottom lip. "- worry -" Another peck. "- too -" Another. "- much." Then, an unexpected bite on the shell of your right ear. "I'd never allow myself to let that little demon get hurt; or hyper."
Large hands wander across the curve of your back, resting firm on your butt. Satoru doesn't want to expose your son to the way he's squeezing your plush flesh with his long digits, so he shifts to have your back pressed against the wall. A perfect opportunity to kiss you - which the man can't help but seize. What else is a smitten boyfriend to do while waiting for your son to get ready and come down from his room upstairs? Lips against lips until one of you pulls away for air. "He's safe with me, okay?"Â
"Okay."Â
"Atta girl. Now, you go that meeting of yours. And, tonight, after we both get back-Â oww."
"Groooss! Don't kiss my mama, or you'll make her ugly! Like youuu!"
"Baby, no. Don't kick Satoru's ankles-"
"I'm saving you, mama."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sunstreakers Toddler Buddy being turned into a Cybertronian?And perhaps the establish a creator-creation bond?
Got to think of a new name for Toddler Buddy...Hope you enjoy!
Hope you enjoy!
Sunstreaker's Human toddler turn Bot
SFW, Platonic, Familial, Slight Angst, Human/ Cybertronian reader
IDW/G1
It was a case of âwrong place at the wrong timeâ.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had to leave for patrol that morning, leaving Buddy at the base.
They were on break from school and was sleeping in.
Sunstreaker himself would have loved to get in another hour of sleep, but duty calls.
Buddy was left in the care of most of the bots in the base.
The more optics looking after them the better right?
âŚRight?
Out on patrol⌠Sunstreaker and Sideswipe are driving down the empty road. Sunstreaker: âHow much longer until we can go back?â Sideswipe: âJust a couple more miles Sunny.â Sunstreaker grumbles. Sideswipe: âDonât get your tailpipe twisted. Weâll be back and helping Buddy color their books before you know it.â BEEP! BEEP! The com line was sounding off. The twins both pick up the call. Sideswipe: âThis is Sideswipe, whatâsââ CRASH! Smokescreen: âBluestreak get them out of there! Oh! You guys answered.â Sunstreaker: âSmokescreen whatâs going on? Is Buddy all right?â SCREECH! Smokescreen: âUmm, okay is subjective right nowâŚâ Sunstreaker: âI am only going to repeat this one more time. What is GOING ON!?â Sideswipe: âGeez Sunny let the mech speak. Go on Smokes.â Smokescreen: âIâwell theyâYou know what I think its better if you guys came in anâSCRAP! BLUESTREAK GRAB THEM BEFORE THEY GET OUT THE DOOR! WHAT DO YOU MENA THEYâRE GONE!â BLITZ! The line went dead. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe sharply turn around and burn rubber to get to the base.
By the time the twins made it to the base, there were already search parties looking around for Buddy.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe get the summary from Prowl and Jazz.
Laserbeak had entered in the base not too long after they had gone out and fired a strange looking gun blindly before retreating.
The beam had hit Buddy turning them into a sparkling.
Yes, Sunstreaker nearly passed out at the news, but Sideswipe hoisted him back to his pedes as the other mechs continued.
Buddy was very scared and confused at first, before they found out how much easier it was to inerct with everyone as a bot.
Bluestreak and Smokescreen had done a good job in making sure Buddy was comfortable and held their new servos when things got a bit scary for them.
Buddy kept on asking where Sunstreaker was and that they wanted him to see them like this.
Cue the sparkling chase throughout the entire base before they slipped into a vent that lead to the outside world.
Sunstreaker: âWell, do we know where they are now?â Prowl pulls up a data pad: âWe are getting the information now. Wheeljack had the idea of microchipping Buddy before they learned how to walk.â Sideswipe and Sunstreaker: âThey couldnât walk!â Jazz: âLike we said before, they were turned into a sparkling, a NEW sparkling. The little thing could barely walk without falling on their face.â Sunstreaker feels increasing stress. PING! Prowl: âThe locztion is set forâŚâ Prowl pauses before showing the data pad to Jazz. The twin get a bad feeling after swings both mechâ door wings stiffen. Sunstreaker: âWell!? Whereâs my sparkling!?â Jazz and Prowl look at each other for a minute before nodding. Prowl starts walking away calling several bots to come and follow him. Jazz: âOkay fellas, you might wanna sit down for this.â Sunstreaker and Sideswipe sit down. Jazz: ââŚBuddyâs location was last seen outside Decepticon HQ.â THUD! Sunstreaker passes out and lands on his face with a sick looking Sideswipe.
With BuddyâŚ
Buddy was lost for a while now.
All they wanted to do was show Sunstreaker their new frame, and now they couldnât even remember the way back home.
They were by the shoreline when something started flying around.
For a split-second Buddy thought the planes were Decepticonâs they had seen on Teletran-Oneâs screens.
Buddyâs optics widen as well as their smile seeing the familiar red plane land in front of them. Buddy: âMr. Powerglide!â Powerglide runs up and scoops them up in a hug. Powerglide: âGeez kiddo! Youâre a bit far from home, arenât you?â Buddy nods feeling bad about running off. Powerglide: âLets get you home. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe are worried sick for ya.â Buddy perks up a bit when the name of the yellow mech is dropped. Buddy: âOkay!â Powerglide: âAnd AWAY we go!â
All the bots sighed in relief hearing that Powerglide had found Buddy safe and sound.
Todayâs events could have gone much worse if the Decepticons had found out about Buddyâs whereabouts.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe where taken into a different room before they could meet Buddy.
Mainly because Sunsreaker kept on pulling âProwlâsâ on every surface he could turn over.
Prowl and Jazz accompany the sparkling to the room.
The door opens. The twins both stand up at the sound of the door opening. Sunstreaker: âAny sign of them? Are they okay!â Sideswipe notices a small frame behind Jazzâs pedes. He nugdes his twinâs arm and points to Jazzâs pedes. Sunstreaker pauses. Sunstreaker: âBuddy?â The sparklingâs helm pops from Jazzâs side. They smile widely. Buddy: âSunny!â Sunstreaker falls to his knees as Buddy leaps into his arms. Sunstreaker just holds them tightly as they ramble on about their frame and how cool they look.
The answer of how to get Buddy back to normal is still unknown given the machine used to turn Buddy Cybertronian was in Decpticon hands.
For now Buddy was Cybertronian until further notice.
Buddy did miss being able to hide in certain places, but on the bright side they were much stronger and durable.
Just like Sunstreaker!
Speaking of the yellow mech, it takes a long time for anyone to convince him to leave the room without Buddy in his arms or nearby.
He makes sure that Buddy has a shiny finish and buffed frame.
His spark melted a bit when they wanted their paintjob to have the same yellow as his.
It is much easier to handle Buddy being much bigger and the same species, not that Sunstreaker would ever admit it out loud.
Honestly as long as Buddy is safe and happy, the mech couldnât care what species they were.

Sy tried his best to look like he was having fun but it was a little hard to do when the loud thrum of the music was grating on his nerves. The upbeat pop song sounded nothing like gunfire or explosions so why did it put his entire body on high alert?
He glanced around the room for the millionth time, taking note of every exit and where each guest was seated now that the meal was over and people had switched chairs to mingle with other tables. If this was what retirement brought, then maybe he would have been better off going back.
During his surveillance of the room, his eyes lingered on the pretty bartender whoâd appeared in the corner when they had opened up the bar. Sheâd caught his attention immediately, looking pretty in her simple black dress and serving everyone with a smile that made his heart ache a little whenever it wasnât directed at himâwhich was every time since he hadnât had the guts to go get himself a drink even once that evening.
His last beer had been empty for over an hour now but none of the guys at the table had gotten up so he hadnât been able to bother them for a refill.
Not realizing heâd been openly starring for longer than socially acceptable, Sy didnât hear his name being called until it was followed by a hit to the shoulder.
âJust go talk to her, man.â
âWho?â Sy asked, feigning innocence.
TJ, the groom and one of Syâs best friends, shot him a look that told him heâd been busted and wasnât fooling anyone.
âGo talk to her. Maybe the promise of a good lay will wipe that frown off your ugly mug and youâll stop scaring off my wedding guests.â
The problem was, Sy had this feeling like that girl wasnât meant to be just a one night thing, and he had no idea how to go about finding out if that was true. It wasnât like heâd never gone home with a stranger in a bar. He was just used to the girls being the ones to show interest first.
âOkay, clearly Iâm gonna have to spell this out for ya.â TJ cleared his throat, putting on a serious air and leaning in closer to Sy. All the boys around the table had cut off their conversation, focusing on their exchange.
âYour mission: libation retrieval. You will need to make your way fifty feet south of your current position at which point you will make contact with the person of interest. Now, this is where it gets tricky. You will need to be very mindful of what you say or this op could blow up in your face. The code word is âhiâ.â
Sy couldnât help but smile and flip his middle finger at the other man.
âYouâre a dick, you know that?â
âAnd youâre being a pussy. Guess thatâs why we make the perfect pair.â
He was right, Sy did need to put on his big boy pants, go order his own damn drink and talk to the beautiful woman.
Standing, Sy nervously straightened his tie and readjusted his suit jacket. He felt the entire tableâs eyes on him as he crossed the room, moving around the outside of the open space that served as a dance floor. Sy considered a variety of opening lines but when he finally reached the counter, the cute bartender spoke first.
âWhat can I getcha? Shots, a beer, something sweet?â
Sy rarely drank anything other than beer but he wanted to keep her talking and a one word answer wouldnât accomplish that.
âWhat do ya qualify as something sweet?â
The woman finally flashed that gorgeous smile at him, pushing a little pamphlet across the counter. âI can make all the classics or I have a few signature cocktails.â
Glancing through the menu, Sy hummed as if in deep contemplation. âI think Iâll stick to a beer but I wouldnât say no to some other kind of sugar.â
The woman narrowed her eyes at him, attempting to conceal the smirk pulling at her lips.
âIsnât the rule at these things that best man is supposed to go home with the maid of honor?â
âThe maid of honor is happily married to one of the other groomsmen. And sheâs also my sister.â
âAh. Let me guess, your younger sister and her friends always lurked around you and your friends growinâ up until one day yâall came home from college and suddenly they were the ones who had your friendsâ attention?â
Shooting an amused look at his brother-in-law over his shoulder, Sy realized he had six pairs of eyes watching him like he was some show animal.
âYeah,â he admitted, turning his focus back to where it belonged, âthatâs pretty much what happened with my sister but the groom only joined the group after our first deployment. He stayed, I went back. Itâs probably also the reason why I am the only member of the wedding party who isnât married.â
Subtle Sy. She opened her mouth to respond but a high-pitched voice cut off any words before they were formed.
âUncle Sy, Uncle Sy!â
Sy spun, catching his god-daughter as she jumped into his arms and making a show of almost falling over. âWoah, princess! Youâre growinâ so big, I donât know how much longer Iâll be able to keep catchinâ ya.â
The little girl giggled, tugging playfully on Syâs beard like she always did.
âMama said I can have a juice or a fizzy drink!â
Sy looked at his sister who nodded in confirmation. He wouldnât have put it past the sneaky five-year-old to tell a little white lie to manipulate her uncle.
âWell, which didja pick, juice or fizzy drink?â
âI want something pretty like Mamaw.â
He knew the ones. His mother was a big fan of those internet bartending videos and ordered drinks purely based on aesthetics. The problem was that most of those drinks got their color from the various alcohols mixed in.
âYou know,â the woman chimed in with a warm smile towards his niece, âI have a menu here with lots of pretty drinks.â She pulled a second pamphlet from behind the counter, holding it out and leaning in conspiratorially as she stage-whispered, âI keep it hidden because itâs not for grown-ups.â
Sy locked eyes with the little girl in his arms and she grinned like the cat that got the canary, nodding furiously. Accepting the menu, Sy held it up for his niece to see.
âWhat do ya think, princess? The red one is real pretty.â
The red one was a Shirley Temple and seemed to be the one which was the least likely to give his god-daughter a sugar rush before bedtime, but she shook her head, instead pointing at the one below it. âI want this one!â
âOoh, thatâs one of my favorites too!â the woman declared.
So much for no sugar rush. There was a one hundred percent certainty that his sister would give him shit for his choice but he was not about to be the reason her daughter had a tantrum at her best friendâs wedding.
âThe lady has spoken. Weâll have a Unicorn Waterfall, please.â
She got to work, rimming a glass with something purple then adding some bubblegum pink syrup and ice. On top of that, she placed a large chunk of blue and pink cotton candy and on the side, she filled a separate carafe with lemon-lime soda.
âAlright, sweetie, all thatâs left is to pour the soda over the cotton candy. Do you think your Uncle Sy would help you do it?â
He didnât miss the fact that she paid enough attention to remember his name.
âOh! Please, please, please, Uncle Sy!â
âSure, that sounds easy enough.â
Both glasses were pushed closer to him and Sy picked up the little carafe. His niece placed her tiny hand over his, eyes wide as he tipped the carafe and the clear liquid melted the cotton candy. The resulting drink was pink on the bottom and slowly transitioned to a deep purple without a trace of candy in sight.
His niece squealed and clapped, squirming so much Sy was afraid he might drop her for a moment.Â
âOkay, Hailey Mae, what do you say to MissâŚâ Sy paused, raising an eyebrow towards the woman of his dreams.
âGrace.â
âWhat do you say to Miss Grace?â
âThank you, Miss Grace.â
âYouâre very welcome, sweetie.â
With a grateful smile, Sy pushed the carafe back towards Grace and put his niece down on the floor. When he straightened, his beer was ready and waiting by his nieceâs glass.
âI want to carry it, Uncle Sy.â
âAlright but two hands, okay?â
Hailey Mae tipped her chin, a look of stern concentration taking over her face as she carefully took the glass from Sy. It seemed Grace had thought ahead, making the drink in a plastic cup. The worst that could happen was a spill or a stain on the dress she would have outgrown by next month anyway. As much as Sy wanted to hang back and talk to the cute little lady who had just stolen his heart, he had to follow his niece to make sure no one accidentally bumped into her as she slowly waddled back to her mother.
To his great dismay, Sy was then immediately stolen away by his great aunt and wasnât able to go back to the bar. Every time he broke away from one group of people, he was pulled into another mindless conversation.
Before he knew it, the evening was winding down, most of the guests had returned home and the wedding party retreated to their rooms at the hotel by the reception hall. Most of them lived less than an hour away, Sy being no exception, but the groomâs parents and siblings had come from out of town so the hotel stay had been a way of giving the newly joined families a little more time together before they all went home.
âSheâs cleaning up, itâs now or never,â Syâs brother-in-law said from behind him as he watched Grace wipe a metal shaker with a microfiber towel.
âTo do what? Bring her up to my room?â
âI was going to say get her number but yours leads to sex tonight and mine means waiting until at least tomorrow.â
Sy just kept staring at her.
âYou do remember how sex works right? You take that shrimp in your pants and you slip it in a womanâsââ
âI get it,â Sy growled. He did not want to hear whatever version of the birds and the bees he was about to spew.
âGood, now go get your bartender.â
Sy took a deep breath and made his way to the bar before he lost his nerve. He arrived just in time to see Grace heave a crate of liquor into her arms and immediately stumble backwards. Luckily, the fridge kept her upright and prevented her from causing a giant mess.
âWoah, ya need help with that?â
Grace gave him a relieved smile, managing to set the box on the counter.
âHow is it that it feels heavier now than when I got here?â
âMaybe because youâve been slinginâ drinks all night and you deserve a break,â he answered, picking up the box. âWhere am I takinâ this?â
âMy van is parked out back. We need to go through the service corridor.â
She picked up a case of syrups and moved towards a door in the corner of the room. Sy followed without question appreciating the view of her ass in that dress.
They crossed another large metal door and were greeted by the cool night air.
âThis is me,â she said, setting her box down on the asphalt and digging her keys out of the bottom.
Once the van was opened, Sy set his case in the trunk then picked up the one she had carried and slid it in beside the first.
âYou got anything else to bring out?â
âNo, thatâs all of it. The venue provided most of the equipment, this was all that was left of my stuff.â
This was it. Sy could either man up or never see this woman again.
âYou know, itâs pretty late. Might not be such a good idea to drive anywhere tonight.â
âIs that so?â she asked, cocking her hip as Sy took a step forward.
âYou could always come up to my suite. I could make ya a coffee or you could get a bit of rest before drivinâ back.â
âYour suite, huh? Are ya tryinâ to use your wealth to get laid?â
âNo, Iâm tryinĘź to use my friendâs wealth to get laid. But Iâll settle for usinâ my natural charm to get your number.â
An amused expression lit up her face at his honesty. She pulled her lower lip between her teeth, smiling at the ground for a second before looking up at him from below her lashes.
âYouâre right,â she said with an exaggerated fake yawn, âIâm really tired after workinâ all eveninâ. It would be irresponsible of me to drive back tonight. I wouldnât want to fall asleep behind the wheel and cause an accident.â
âNo, maâam it would not. And Iâm all about beinâ responsible.â
The incessant ringing of the phone pulled Sy out of a deep sleep. It eventually stopped but the reprieve lasted for all of ten seconds. When it started for the third time, Sy muttered a curse under his breath and rolled over to the other side of the bed to pick up the receiver.
âWhat?â he barked.
âDamn.â It was his friend Mackâs lazy drawl coming from the other end of the line. âI was sure that you beinâ late to breakfast meant youâd gotten some last night but that tone tells me different.â
âWell fuck you too. Iâll be right there.â
He slammed the phone down and stretched out with a groan. Only then did he realize that heâd just rolled from one side of the king bed to the other completely unobstructed.
Sy sat up, taking stock of his surroundings. His suit was hung neatly in the closet when he was sure heâd thrown it haphazardly over the chair. Or near the chair. He was butt naked, which, had he been home, would not have been strange, but he didnât make a habit of free-balling it on strange sheets.
On the up side, the evidence suggested he hadnât hallucinated his night with the sexy bartender. On the down side, Grace had snuck out without so much as a goodbye.
There was no time to sulk, however, because he was expected downstairs with all of his nearest and dearest. When he stepped into the restaurant, he had approximately a five second warning before his favorite princess was in his arms.
âUncle Sy, youâre late!â
âIâm sorry, kiddo,â he carried her to the only two empty chairs, settling her on her booster seat. âI forgot to plug my phone before goinâ to sleep so I didnât have any alarm to wake me up.â
âForgot or passed out with it in your hand and a fresh load coolinâ on your chest?â
His sister kicked Mack under the table but his niece didnât hear a word. Sheâd already picked up a purple crayon and set about drawing a unicorn on the paper place setting.
âItâs okay, Uncle Sy, I forgive you.â
âWell thank you, little lady, thatâs mighty gracious of ya.â
For the next two hours, Sy did his best to put Grace out of his head and focus on the people around him. He still made a mental map of the room, the exits and the position of all the guests around the table but, without the loud music, he wasnât nearly as on edge as he had been the night before. That wasnât to say that he didnât haul ass back to the relative peace of his room once the meal was over.
After being constantly on guard for sixteen straight hours the day before and only getting a few hours of sleep, he was ready to get back home to Aika and give his mind a rest in familiar surroundings.
Once he finished packing up his things, Sy moved to the nightstand to retrieve his cellphone. He hadnât been lying about forgetting to plug it in the night before. When the device turned on again, there were a dozen missed calls and texts from his friends trying to reach him before breakfast.
Dismissing all the notifications, Sy slipped the phone in his pocket and reached down behind the nightstand. Heâd been trying to retrieve his charger, only his hand brushed something else instead.
As it turned out, the something in question was one of those notepads that hotels left by the phone. And that notepad had the sweetest words Sy had ever read.
Had to get the van back for an early job. I hope that wonât keep you from calling. Grace xxx
And there below her name, were the ten most perfect digits in the world.

Fame and Fortune
Do you dream of glory? Crowds of thousands all adoring beneath you. The roaring cheers echoing in the arena. Countless of small white lights held up like beacons creating a sea of waving stars all for you. Breathless exhilaration has your chest heaving, skin glistening and damn. To feel like a god: never ending, eternal.
What would you be willing to do to get it?
What are you willing to sacrifice for fame?
Who are you prepared to lose?
Could the love of millions be worth the love of one?
ââ
[Backstage: Corroded Coffin Global Tour-Los Angeles, Ca]
Eddie is pacing, more than just pre-show nerves numb his hands. His cigarette burns quickly, ash falling on the carpeted floor, but no amount of nicotine filled lungs will fix this. Gareth, his drummer and long time friend, is watching him pace, eyes pleading.
âIs it worth it, Eddie?
We all got what we wanted; why are we miserable? You canât lie to me, we all feel it. I see it in everyone, even you! You havenât been the same sinceââ He receives a withering glare from the frontman and sighs, speaking softer.
âI miss mom and my little sister. Itâs been so long since Iâve seen them⌠Iâm no longer drawn in her crayon family portraits, did you know that? Does Anne even remember me, anymore?
How can you keep going like this and expect us to do the same? Iâm gratefulâI really amâfor you. You got us where we are now, a fantasy that we never even dreamed would become reality. It was amazing, Iâm glad I got to experience it all with you, but Iâm tired. Iâm so tired guys.
I just want to go home.â
The long drag he takes burns his throat,
âLook, weâre all tired, I get it. Really, I do, this tour has been⌠particularly grueling Iâll admit, but come on. This is our last show, the big finale! Weâll give them all we got and then weâll be able to take a break to freshen up before doing what we do best: creating kick ass music.
Like always. Youâll feel better after this, we always do after the last showââ
Gareth cuts him off, his patience clearly stretched thin.
âNo, Eddie, listen to me! Itâs different this time. Iâm happy with the money weâve made, we all have enough to live comfortably and Iâve been thinking that, you know, itâs time to settle down. I canât do that if Iâm always working. This, the band, it doesnât⌠it doesnât make me happy anymore.â
Jeff stands and his imposing figure makes Eddie pause from wearing a path into the floor.
âHeâs not the only one, man. Im sorry, but its killing me. We donât expect you to give it up either, you can keep the band name, find new members, keep signing⌠But for us? We canât keep going, man. This is the end of the line.â
âNot him too. Fuck. Fuck!â
âNo! What am IâIâve given up too much for this, you canât just, fucking, bail on me!â This band, playing with his friends, itâs become his entire world. Heâs lost too much to get here.
âWoah, woah, hey! No one fucking told you to and you know it. Weâve always had your back no matter what, but anything you chose to do is on you. Not us. The least you could do is extend us the same fucking curtesy and respect the fact that weâre fucking done with this bullshit.â
His gaze is venom as he looks at band, Grant and âFreakâ silent but agreeing with the rest. They refuse to meet his gaze.
âFine. Do whatever you want.â He turns and leaves. Theyâll be starting in 15 minutes.
Fucking cowards. Ungrateful bastards.
A memory plays in his head. Brief and intrusive. The voice of someone long gone from his life rings in his mind.
âIâve missed you, Ed. Are you done at the studio, yet? When are you coming home?â
âSteve, this is important. You know this. Iâll be pulling a few more all nighters hereâthis album has to be perfect, baby.â
A crackling sigh is barely audible through the phone.
âI know, I know. Iâm just being selfish. Iâm sorry. Miss waking up to you next to me.â
âMiss you too, baby. Youâre my world you know. Love you more than anything.â
âMore than music?â Itâs a timid question.
âNow, letâs not get ahead of ourselves,â heâs the only one to laugh into the receiver.
âRight⌠night, Eddie.â
âWait, Stevââ fuck. It was only joke. Whatever, heâll apologize tomorrow.
Right now, he has music history in the making.

Forever and Always
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Fem!Reader
Setting: Modern MCU timeline
Perspective: Third Person Limited (Readerâs perspective).
Work Count: 1.2K
Prompt 13: âI promised to love you forever, and that is a promise I intend to keep.â
______________________________________________________________
The night air in Brooklyn was cool, the city buzzing around you as you walked down the familiar streets. You had lived here once, in another timeâanother life. Back then, it was simpler. You were young, full of dreams and love. Bucky was by your side, his smile lighting up every corner of the world. That smile hadnât faded from your memory, not even after all these years. And yet, seeing it now⌠seeing him now⌠It was different.
Bucky was different.
You rounded the corner and stopped. There he was, standing by the old bench where you had shared your first kiss. He looked much the same, but the pain in his eyes was unmistakable. His hair was a little longer, a little grayer at the temples, and his jacket a little more worn than you remembered. But it was the same Buckyâthe Bucky you had known and loved in the 1940s.
The man who had promised you forever.
You hadnât aged a day. The same as you had back then, still in your twenties, a quiet enchantment hanging over you like a veil. You could feel it, the weight of your powers that kept you locked in the past, preserved in time. You had lived through decades, watching loved ones come and go, but Bucky had always been the one who lingered. The one you couldnât forget.
He turned when he heard your footsteps, and for a moment, his breath caught. His eyes scanned you, taking in every detailâevery curve, every line, every piece of you that he had once known. It was like nothing had changed⌠except everything had.
âY/NâŚâ His voice was low, strained, like the name itself pained him.
You stepped forward, heart in your throat, but a smile tugged at your lips. "Hey, Buck."
He shook his head, as if trying to clear the fog of confusion from his mind. "How... how is this even possible?" His voice cracked slightly. "You look... you look the same. Youâre stillâ" He gestured at you, unable to find the right words.
You nodded slowly, the weight of centuries pressing down on you. "I know. Itâs complicated."
His jaw tightened. "I donât get it. How is this even possible? I saw you⌠I saw you die. I thought you were gone." His voice broke on the word 'gone.'
You reached out, gently placing your hand on his arm, grounding him. "I never died, Bucky. IâI couldnât. Not like that. Not when I made you a promise."
He recoiled slightly, stepping back. "A promise?" He laughed bitterly, but there was no humor in it. "Do you have any idea how much time has passed? How much has changed? You donât owe me anything, Y/N. Not after everything Iâve done. After what Hydra made me do."
You flinched at the mention of Hydra, the dark memories that haunted both of you. You knew that pain all too well, the scars they had left on his soul. But you werenât going to let him hide behind that.
âBucky, look at me.â You stepped closer, your eyes meeting his. âYouâre not what Hydra made you. You never were. I know who you are. Youâre the same man who held me close under the stars, promised me forever. The man who laughed and danced and loved with his whole heart.â You swallowed hard, feeling the weight of your words. âAnd I promised to love you forever, Bucky. And that is a promise I intend to keep.â
His face twisted in anguish, and he looked away, the guilt written all over him. "You donât understand, Y/N. You donât know what Iâve done. What I canât forget. The lives Iâve taken. The pain I caused. Iâm a different person now. You shouldnât have to carry that. You deserve someone who hasnâtâ" He choked on the words, his fists clenching.
âStop.â Your voice was firm, cutting through the self-loathing and regret that seemed to choke him. "You are not the monster they turned you into. You are not the Winter Soldier anymore, Bucky. You are him. The man I fell in love with."
Tears burned in your eyes, though you refused to let them fall. You had spent so many years without him, so many years wondering if you would ever get another chance. You couldnât lose him again.
âBucky, look at me.â You cupped his face gently, tilting his head to meet your gaze. âI never gave up on you. I never stopped loving you, not once. You donât get to decide if I move on. I made a promise, and Iâm not going to let you push me away.â
He took a shaky breath, his chest rising and falling rapidly. For a moment, he didnât speak. His blue eyes were searching yours, like he was looking for somethingâsomething to hold onto, something to believe in again.
âIâm not the same man I was back then,â he whispered, his voice cracking. âIâve seen too much. Done too much.â
âAnd Iâve been waiting for you, Bucky. For all this time.â You stroked his cheek softly, and he leaned into the touch, his breath hitching. âYouâve suffered. I know that. But you donât have to suffer alone. You never did.â
His eyes softened, a flicker of hope rekindling in the depths of them, and for a brief second, he was the man you rememberedâthe man you had loved. The man who had kissed you under the stars, whispered promises into your hair, and told you heâd love you forever.
âIâve waited so long for this,â you whispered, your voice filled with emotion. âYou donât have to carry all of it alone anymore. You donât have to do this by yourself.â
Bucky closed his eyes, letting out a long, shuddering breath, his shoulders sagging with the weight of everything he had carried for so long. âI donât know if I can⌠if I deserve to be loved again. After everything.â
âYou deserve it more than anyone.â Your voice was steady now, filled with the conviction of a promise you had made so long ago. "You are still the man I fell in love with, Bucky. And Iâm not letting you go. Not now. Not ever."
When he finally looked at you again, his expression was softer, vulnerable, the hardness in his eyes giving way to something more fragile. âIâve missed you,â he whispered.
âIâve missed you too.â You pressed your forehead to his, a tear finally slipping down your cheek, but it was a tear of relief, not sorrow. âI never stopped loving you, Bucky. And I never will.â
For the first time in what felt like an eternity, Bucky didnât pull away. He didnât hide behind the walls of guilt and regret. Instead, he let himself be vulnerable with youâtruly vulnerable. And as he leaned forward, pressing his lips to yours, you knew, without a doubt, that forever didnât need to be a distant promise anymore.
It was now.
And this time, you would keep it. Forever and always.

very late wip wednesday that is not wednesday at all I'm sorry but have snickerdoodles of longing?
@daisyssousa @spotsandsocks @eddiebabygirldiaz @tizniz @hippolotamus @chaosandwolves @smilingbuckley @rainbow-nerdss @singitforthegirls @bekkachaos @sunflower-eddiediaz @hotshotsxyz @epicbuddieficrecs @daffi-990 @blutterlie @exhuastedpigeon @thelikesofus @livinginsunnyhell đ On your left you will see ridiculous pining idiots sharing a bed and being oblivious đ and Eddie being Completely Normal about Buck having Feelings(tm) for someoneâŚ
Buck lies down and turns onto his side toward Eddie. âJust in my head.â
Eddie reaches out and runs his fingertips along Buckâs forehead. âYou still thinking about the breakup? Because he wasnât good enough for you. No one is. You deserve someone who gets how special you are. Youâre a catch.â
Buck huffs but the hint of a smile touches him. âI wasnât thinking about that. Havenât thought about him in a while actually.â
Thatâs something at least. âGood. He didnât know how lucky he was.â
Eddie doesnât know why other than his constant urge to be affectionate especially when someone needs cheering up, but as soon as he thinks about how he should withdraw and stop touching Buck, his hand has other ideas. And he has to dip his fingers into Buckâs curls and rub his head.
Theyâre so soft and so perfect at this length. They could even be longer and Eddie could bury his hand in more of them.Â
The look Buck gives him is too piercing. For a second, it strikes through Eddie like lightning. But itâs gone in the next instant.Â
Buck noticeably swallows hard. âI donât know. Maybe he was unlucky.â
âIf youâre going to insult my best friend,â Eddie warns and contemplates making a fist in Buckâs hair for emphasis on the warning. He doesnât. But he does think about it.Â
âNo, I didnât mean like that.â Buck leans into Eddieâs hand and smiles, just a little. âNot, âheâs so unlucky being with meâ but like, what ifâ what it he was right? When he said he knew he wasnât my last. What if he saw something? Or noticed something?â
Eddieâs thumb wanders and brushes over Buckâs cheekbone, all absentminded instinct. âWhat kind of something?âÂ
Buckâs eyes flutter and close for a moment before he takes Eddieâs hand and holds it still against his own chest. âS-so-something like, something I didnât know. Or didnât realize. I didnât know I liked him at first. I had no idea thatâs what I was feeling. Andâ a-and what if that happened again? What if he knew I wanted someone else? Or that I have feelings for someone who isnât him? And thatâs how he knew he wasnât my last.âÂ
Someone else?Â
Thereâs someone else?Â
Eddie doesnât know why. But he canât breathe. Or move. He looks at his own hand, happily, eagerly pressed to Buckâs chest over his heart. âYouââ he says but loses the rest of the words. All he can do is echo. âSomeone else? Thereâs someone? A new someone? Another someone?â
Buck shrugs, waves it off, doesnât meet Eddieâs eyes. âN-no. No, but. I donât know. Hypothetically. I guess. What if that were the case? What if thatâs what he thought? And thatâs why he ended it.â
What if his ex thought Buck wanted someone else and thatâs why he got dumped? Itâs plausible? The more concerning thing about this however is, âYouâre not thinking of calling him again. Are you? Youâre not going to try and get back with him? Please tell me thatâs not what this is.â
Buck turns pink and shakes his head. âNo, thatâs notâ itâs not what I mean. Thatâs not the point. Heâs not the point. I was just wondering, you know? Since he realized I was crushing on him but totally unaware of it. Maybe it happened again. Maybe he knew before I did. What I feel. In theory, I mean. He knew I have feelings for someone else, so he had to break it off. Soâ s-so? That would make the whole situation unlucky. For him. Or both of us. If we were both having unrequited feelings for different people.â
Thatâsâ sensible? Also so much to think about. How can Eddie think about any of it. How can there be another person already? Thatâs three in less than a year. Eddieâs had three relationships in his whole life. How does anyone manage feeling like that? Feeling and then not feeling or feeling something else while still stuck in the first feeling or trying so hard to feel something when there were no feelings whatsoever and you were already thinking that feelings were horribleâ itâs too much. Way too complicated. âI guess. That would be unlucky.â
âRight? Unlucky.â Buck nods. Somehow with the energy of a nervous, twitchy squirrel.Â
âIs there someone else? Another someone?â Eddie asks again. Because he canât stop thinking heâs also missed something. Or everything. When did Buck meet someone new? Why wouldnât he have mentioned? Why, again, are they back to crushes and this person I just met five seconds ago really sees me and unrequitedâ wait. âThere is someone. How would you know itâs unrequited unless you have someone specific in mind?â
Buck lets go of Eddieâs hand. In fact, he moves Eddieâs hand back to his side of the bed and then deliberately lets go of it. âI was just wondering. Itâs hypothetical. There isnât anyone. Iâm tired, arenât you tired? We should sleep, yeah? Goodnight, Eds.â He turns away and switches off the lights and stays on his side with his back to Eddie.
Eddie pokes him in the back where heâs sensitive and ticklish. âYouâre a fucking terrible liar.â
Buck bats his hand away and yawns. âAaahhhmmmm not. So sleepy. Not lying. Sleeping.âÂ
Are they the fourteen year olds now? Eddie tugs the blankets around himself and wriggles on his back to get comfortable. âWhatever. You brought it up.â

Once Upon a Time - A Choso x Reader Fanfic Part 2
Retold fairytales featuring the JJK men! This is Rapunzel featuring Choso! While gathering herbs in the forest, you stumble into the garden of a strange man living in an abandoned watch tower. He talks often about his three little brothers, but youâre beginning to suspect theyâre no longer there.Â
Part 1 | Part 2
Read Sukuna x Sleeping Beauty Here!
Read Gojo x Cinderella Here!
Smut. 18+. Fem Reader. Reader as Rapunzel. Reader has long hair (she kinda has to for this story) but no other distinguishing physical characteristics. Choso as a classic Yandere. Possessive behavior. Toxic love. Manipulation. Reader is locked up. Mentions of characters dying before the story began. Bondage (not used in a sexual context⌠yet).
Dividers by @animatedglittergraphics-n-more and @benkeibear!
You slam the shutters closed and back away from the window. Already youâve begun trembling from the cold, and despite the shackle on your ankle, youâre irrationally afraid of falling out the window.Â
The chain on the shackle clinks as you move, and you follow it back to see what itâs connected to. Under the straw mattress, you find a great metal hook where the end of the chain is fastened. You pull at it, but thereâs no way to get it free. It seems to be built into the hook somehow.Â
Changing tactics, you sit down and examine the shackle itself. Thereâs a small keyhole on the side, and no other way to open it. You pull and jerk, but it doesnât budge.Â
Why would Choso do this? You thought things were going so well. You even fell in love with him. Did he have something like this in mind the whole time? And what does he even plan to do with you?
You run through possibilities in your mind, but nothing makes sense. If he wanted to keep you here for sex, why bother when you slept with him willingly? You make him all the medicines he wants. You spend time with him and even invited him to come visit you. What else could he possibly want from you?Â
Just then you notice that your hair has been tied back up into a ponytail. Itâs a bit messier than when you do it, but itâs clear that Choso has made an effort. Why would he do something so considerate while doing something as terrible as chaining you up?Â
Footsteps echo through the room, and you look toward the door. Someone is coming up the stairs, and unless youâre completely wrong about his brothers being dead, itâs definitely Choso.Â
You feel a surge of panic. Whatever he wants from you, it canât be good if heâs taken you captive. Youâre not sure if your heart can handle being hurt by someone youâve come to love, someone you were so intimate with just before you were knocked out.Â
The door opens, and Choso is on the other side, holding a plate of food. His eyes widen when he sees you standing there in the middle of the room.
âOh, youâre awake,â he says, relief in his voice. He steps inside and sits the plate on the dresser. âI brought dinner just in case, but I was worried youâd still be asleep. That sleep medicine you made is more potent than I thought. Or maybe I used too much. Itâs been two days.â
Two days?! Youâd guessed around twelve hours! But this is no time to be shocked into silence.Â
âWhy have you taken me prisoner?â you ask, trying to keep your tone even and calm. Losing your cool will be no help at all.Â
He blinks. âPrisoner? No, thatâs not what Iâm doing. Iâm keeping you safe. After the threat is gone, Iâll take you home.â
âThe threat? You mean the wolves?â How could he possibly rid the forest of wolves single handedly? Or is this just a way for him to keep you here indefinitely?Â
âYes, the wolves,â he replies, seemingly oblivious to how ridiculous that sounds. âWell, that particular pack of wolves. Iâll hunt them down and kill them all, so they wonât ever hurt you again.â
You step closer to him. âChoso, you donât have to do that. Iâll be fine! The wolves are less active during the day, so just escort me home now while the sun is still up, and-â
âNo!â he shouts, making you flinch and step back. His face then softens immediately, as if your reaction pained him. âIâm sorry for yelling, but I canât let you leave until I know youâll be safe. I promise Iâll take care of you, so donât worry!â
âChoso-â
âIâll cook meals for you every day,â he continues, cutting you off. âYou like my cooking, right? I went to the village yesterday and bought you a couple of dresses to wear, and some books to read so you wonât be bored!â
âPlease, Choso, listen to me,â you say, approaching him again. âI know you mean well, and youâre trying to look out for me, but this isnât the way to do it. I need to go home. You canât keep me here against my will.â
This time he takes a step back. âIâll take you home as soon as I kill the wolves. It wonât take too long, but I canât let you go before then. Those wolves are bloodthirsty, and theyâre not afraid to attack humans.â
You stare at him for a moment, wondering if you should say the words bubbling up in your mouth. Since heâs taken things this far, you decide to stop dancing around the topic and ask, âIs that what happened to your brothers?â
His face goes blank, his eyes looking eerily empty as he says, âWhat are you talking about? My brothers are downstairs playing.â
For that brief moment, Choso frightens you to your core. For that one solitary moment, you believe heâs capable of anything.Â
You feel your eyes becoming wet. âChoso, Iâm more afraid of you than the wolves right now.â
He looks hurt, reeling back as if heâs been slapped. âMe? But Iâd never hurt you! Iâm doing all this to protect you!â
âBut I donât want this kind of protection,â you say as calmly as possible. âDonât you care what I want?â
He wears a conflicted expression, which is a good sign. Maybe you can reach him. He backs up toward the door. âOf course I care, but I care more about keeping you safe,â he says as he opens the door and steps out. âPlease eat. Iâll come check on you a little later.â Then the door closes.Â
You stand there for a while, listening to his footsteps carrying him down the stairs. Once he sounds far enough away, you go over to the dresser and pick up the plate. Your gut reaction is to smash it on the floor, but starving yourself will get you nowhere. It might even end with Choso forcing food down your throat.Â
No, the best idea is to appeal to Chosoâs care for you. Heâs clearly been driven mad by grief over his brothers, and itâs impossible to tell what heâd do when pushed into a corner.Â
But the worst part is that, despite what heâs doing, you still feel love for Choso. He seems to sincerely believe heâs protecting you.Â
For now, you decide to bide your time and try talking some sense into him.Â
Later that evening, Choso returns to the top of the tower. When he opens the door and steps into the room, you gasp at the sight of him.Â
His clothes are torn, there are bloody scratches all over him, and heâs carrying a heavy-looking wool sack.Â
You quickly get to your feet and hurry over, but the chain prevents you from reaching him. Heâs just inside the door, barely out of your reach. You extend one hand toward him. âChoso, what happened?!â No matter what heâs done, you still canât bear to see him hurt.Â
Choso looks at her with an anguished expression when he realizes sheâs trying to come to him but canât, because of the shackle he placed on her ankle. He takes the ten steps needed to be close enough for her to touch him, sighing in relief when her soft hands touch his shoulders.Â
âIâm alright,â he tells her, shifting the bag to one arm. âMore importantly, I brought you a gift.â
She looks skeptical. Of course she does. Heâs well aware that sheâs unhappy with this situation. He doesnât like making her unhappy, but he knows sheâll understand after sheâs here for a while with him. Eventually sheâll come to like being kept safe and pampered here.Â
He opens the bag and dumps out the contents on the floor in front of her. Two gifts that will surely prove his devotion to her. Two bloody, mangled wolf carcasses.Â
She doesnât scream, but instead makes a strange little cry of alarm, barely above a whisper, as she steps back, one hand closed over her mouth.Â
âDonât you recognize them?â he asks, squatting down to hold one of them up. âThese are two of the wolves that attacked you. Thereâs only four more.â
She looks horrified as her lovely eyes take in the dead wolves, then shift to his face. âYou killed them yourself?â
Choso smiles, feeling proud. âYes, with a hatchet! It was fairly easy to take a couple down once I drove the pack to separate, then I-â
He notices sheâs crying, and it makes the words dry up in his mouth. She looks aghast.Â
âPlease donât do something like this again!â she cries. âThink about what would happen if youâre killed by the wolves! Iâd be trapped here alone, with no food or water!â
Chosoâs heart nearly stops when he hears her words. How could he have been so careless? He put her at risk! âIâm sorry!â he says, dropping to his knees beside the wolves. âI didnât consider that! Iâll bring extra food and water tomorrow, and Iâll be very careful when I kill the rest of the pack!â
She kneels down in front of him. âDonât kill the rest of them! Please just stop all this. Wolf attacks are rare. Iâm sure it wonât happen again. Iâll forgive you if you let me go home when the sun comes up.â
Her words are logical. They make perfect sense to Choso, but he knows logic isnât always right. He canât risk her being attacked again. Standing up, he looks down at her. âAfter I kill the remaining four, Iâll take you home. I promise. And donât worry, Iâve killed a bigger pack than this one before. I know what Iâm doing.â
She lowers her head in defeat, not even looking up when he places the dead wolves in the bag and leaves the room.Â
Back downstairs, he strips off the bloody clothes and cleans up in the small washroom beside the kitchen. Thereâs a similar washroom upstairs for her to use. He cleaned her body the day before, while she was still sleeping, but he was careful to protect her modesty as best he could and not touch her inappropriately.Â
After washing his hair and drying off, Choso pulls on loose fitting black pants and sits near the fireplace to warm up. He canât help remembering how he made love to her in this very spot only two days earlier. When heâd been fully sheathed inside her, wrapped in her arms, he felt at peace for the first time in years.Â
It was almost enough to make him forget.Â
After a few minutes, he decides to go up and check on her. He misses the time they spent talking happily together, sharing stories about their lives. He hopes they can go back to that someday. These are his thoughts as he climbs the steps of the tower.Â
Youâre surprised when you hear footsteps on the stairs again. You didnât expect Choso to come back again so late, but when he opens the door, heâs standing there in only black pants, no shirt, his hair loose around his shoulders and slightly damp.Â
It reminds you that you find him very attractive, and you wish you could just turn that part of your brain off.Â
âAh, sorry if Iâm bothering you,â he says, looking a little sheepish. âI think itâs time to change your bandages. Is it alright if I help you?â
You already found a drawer full of supplies in the dresser, but you havenât changed them yet. To be honest, thatâs been the last thing on your mind today.Â
Youâre not quite sure whether you should accept his help, or anything else. You havenât even looked at the dresses he bought for you, spending the day in your slip. Thereâs a coal heater in the room, with a vent built into the wall to prevent smoke buildup, so you havenât been cold unless you open the window.Â
He stands there looking like a lost puppy, and you canât help yourself. âAlright, you can help me,â you say, sitting on the mattress.Â
Looking pleased, he hurries over to the drawer and gathers supplies, then sits down beside you. His hands are nearly shaking as he carefully removes the bandages from your hand and arm. As always, his touches are light and gentle, his fingertips soft on your skin. He continues this process with your other wounds, and it feels so nice and relaxing that your guard drops completely.Â
When heâs finished, he starts to stand up, but you place one hand on his arm. âWhat about you?â you ask him, looking at the numerous shallow cuts and scratches on his firm torso. âLet me help you.â
His eyes widen slightly, a faint dusting of pink on his pale face as he settles back onto the floor and nods. With the same care he demonstrated, you clean and wrap his wounds with bandages, your hands lingering on his abdomen. You wonder if heâs aroused right now, considering the way his breaths are coming quicker and his eyes seem to be darker.Â
Do you want him to be aroused?Â
Youâre not certain what you want. And while youâre still in this vague mindset, Choso softly asks, âMay I touch you?â
Slightly dazed by his closeness, you say yes, assuming he plans to embrace you when he moves to be behind you.Â
Instead, his warm hand slides under the fabric of your slip, between your legs. You gasp when his fingers gently prod your folds open and find your clit, stroking it until you become wet.Â
âYou liked it when I touched you here, right?â he says into your ear, and your whole body shivers.Â
You shouldnât let this happen. You should tell him to stop. Being intimate with him again will only make him feel like his behavior is okay. But youâve been so stressed today, so wound up and worried. And Choso looks so beautiful with his hair down, his fingers feel so good, causing currents of electric pleasure to ripple through you.Â
You should stop this, but instead you lean back against him, opening your thighs. You turn your head to look at him over your shoulder, one of your hands moving to his hair and pulling his face close enough to kiss him. You moan into his mouth as he continues rubbing your clit, your body beginning to quiver.Â
Breaking the kiss, you look him in the eyes. âChoso⌠take me,â you plead, peeling off the slip and leaving yourself nude.Â
You donât have to ask twice. With an urgency bordering on desperation, he pushes you forward, onto your hands and knees on the floor. Within seconds, heâs shoving into you, a short whimpering cry escaping his lips as your warm, slick walls close around him.Â
Heâs less careful this time, less gentle as he thrusts into you from behind, as if he canât hold himself back any longer.Â
One of his hands slides around to continue stroking your clit, making you sob out a moan. His other hand reaches around your face, where his fingers dip into your open mouth. His thrusts get harder, faster, and the chain connected to your ankle clinks as it rattles.Â
Oh god, youâre falling into madness with him.Â
When you cum with a great shudder, you inadvertently bite down on his fingers, tasting his blood. He doesnât even try to withdraw them.Â
When he cums, fully inside you, he leans over your shaking form and says into your ear, âI love you so much. Iâll keep you safe⌠forever!â
The words, sounding sweet at first, snap you back to your senses when you realize what heâs actually saying.Â
He intends to keep you captive here for the rest of your life. Heâll never let you go.Â
The thought is sobering, and you instantly lose the sense of pleasure youâd just felt. In a moment of weakness, youâve made a terrible mistake.Â
When Choso pulls out, he wraps his arms around you, clearly wanting to be close for a while longer. You pull away from his grasp and say, âI need to go clean up.â
He looks at you as you stand up. âDo you need any help?â he asks, seeming so kind.Â
âNo, Iâm fine,â you say, not meeting his eyes.Â
You spend longer in the washroom than you need, hoping heâll be gone back downstairs when you come back out. Unfortunately, heâs still sitting on the floor when you return. He must have noticed your change in attitude, because he looks worried.Â
âAre you upset?âÂ
You finally look him in the eyes. There are lots of things you want to say, but all of them would probably make this situation worse. No, you need to be smart about this. Making him freak out and be on his guard will be no help to you.Â
âIâm just tired,â you say. âItâs been a long day.â
He gets to his feet and hovers awkwardly for a little while before heading for the door. âI guess Iâll see you in the morning. Iâll bring your breakfast.â
âThanks, Choso,â you tell him, pulling on your slip and sitting down on the mattress.Â
He gives you an uneasy smile, then leaves the room. You listen to his footsteps, waiting until you can no longer hear them.Â
A plan is already forming in your mind. Youâve realized tonight that you have to escape, and soon. The first step is to get rid of the shackle. Choso locks the door each time he leaves, but thereâs a chance he might forget at some point. You need to be ready for that possibility.Â
Sitting on the mattress, you bring your shackled ankle close and carefully remove the strips of cloth Choso has tied underneath the metal. Then you grit your teeth and begin yanking on the chain, pulling it harshly against your skin. After several painful minutes, you tie the cloth back around your ankle and slide it under the shackle.Â
The next morning, Choso brings your breakfast and sits it on the dresser. He walks over to where youâre sitting and says, âHow are you feeling today?â
You look up at him, rubbing your leg absently. âIâm okay. Itâs justâŚâ
âHmm? Is something wrong?â
You extend your leg, the chain clinking. âMy ankle hurts.â
He squats down and gently begins untying the cloth. When it falls away, a look of horror spreads across his face. Your ankle is wrapped in deep purple bruises.Â
âIâm so sorry!â he says, digging around in his pockets and pulling out a small key. âI thought the cloth would be enough to cushion it!â
He quickly unlocks the shackle, then pulls it away from you. With one hand you rub over it, wincing. âI think it happened last night, when we were together,â you tell him.Â
His face reddens. âI never realized it. Iâll leave the shackle off for a while. Maybe you donât even need it.â
You donât say anything to that, afraid you might say something that makes him suspicious.Â
The day wears on, Choso bringing you meals and even applying a salve to your ankle. He seems happy to see you wearing one of the dresses he bought for you.Â
He doesnât know youâre preparing.Â
By nightfall, you stop hearing any sounds whatsoever, and you have no doubt heâs gone to hunt the wolves again. This is the time to act!
You start by checking the door, just in case. As expected, itâs locked up tight. But thatâs okay. You have a back up plan.Â
It takes you several minutes to unfasten all the loops and ties in your hair, which youâd redone after Chosoâs attempt at fixing it back. Once all of it is loose, you begin twisting it around into something resembling a rope. Then you drag the heavy dresser over to the window and tie the end of your hair around one of its legs.Â
You open the window and look down, trying to judge the distance. Youâve done this many times already, and youâre still not certain you can reach the bottom. Even if you do, youâll have to make a horrible decision.Â
Youâll have to cut your hair.Â
Itâs the only way to escape, and you have a small blade that Choso left with the medical supplies, for cutting off strips of bandages.Â
You have no choice. Choso will keep you here forever. There will always be more wolves in the forest. The longer you stay here, the harder it will be to escape, the more youâll grow comfortable with being held captive by him.Â
Steeling your nerves and your heart, you open the window and climb onto the ledge. Holding tightly to your hair as if itâs a rope, you begin easing yourself down, keeping your feet on the side of the tower.Â
The climb down is terrifying. If your feet should slip, or your hands lose their grip on your hair, you could fall the rest of the way. Depending on how the length of your hair compares to the tower, you could smash into the ground or have your neck snapped if your hair suddenly stops your fall from this height.Â
Luckily, itâs too dark to see much when you look down, so you can focus all your attention on your descent.Â
It takes longer than you expected. At least twice you hear the sound of wolves howling. Is Choso hunting them now? You hope heâs not hurt, but you also hope he doesnât come back before youâre gone.Â
Finally, you reach the end of your hair, leaving yourself only enough slack to move your head around. You look down, and the ground looks close enough that dropping from here wouldnât hurt at all. Itâs now or never.Â
You pull the blade from a pocket in your dress and take a deep breath, then you begin cutting through your hair. Tear fill your eyes as you watch the strands split off from each other. Your hair is sacred, it represents your spirit, but those are just ideas you grew up with. Logically, you know itâs just hair. It will grow back. But itâs still emotional for you.Â
Once youâve cut it free of your head, you extend your arms, holding onto the end of the â ropeâ, giving yourself a few more inches, and then you drop.Â
The ground rises up to meet you, and your legs quiver when the impact shoots from your feet up to your hips. It hurts, but you donât think youâve injured anything. You catch your breath, then run around to the other side of the tower, toward the path youâre familiar with that leads back to the village. You try not to think about your hair, about how itâs barely long enough to cover your ears now.Â
When you round the tower, you stop dead in your tracks.Â
Just a few feet away from you, Choso is walking toward the tower, a dead wolf thrown across his shoulder.Â

in another lifetime
charas: timebomb drabble (ekko x powder) synopsis: as ekko thinks back to his journey from the other universe, he wonders and regrets what could've been in this timeline. warning: spoilers a/n: arcane hurt me so now i have to write angst for it LOL, they are my unbecoming frfr i miss them sm. also heard theories that jinx is still alive (im coping BYE) tho so maybe ill have to write another thing where he finds her
That singular night was still vivid in his mind to relive through, over and over again. From the strobing lights to the taints of her blue hues glimmering mischievously, he could just about see it if he closed his eyes. She was so close to him, so beautiful in a white, pure dress that he could not look at anything else. Her cute little dance moves that slowed down time for him and the sway of her short blue hair. Just a reach of his arm... would he be able to feel her warmth?
Of course not. It was now a memory to be tucked away. In this cold, sad world that he fought to survive in, he could not save the one he desperately wished to.
Ekko raised his arm toward the stars in the sky, laying there. So far yet so close. The stars represented her, burning bright until the very end.
When he first heard news that Jinx was gone, his gut dropped down to levels of hell, a torment of agony and lament drowning him in waves. How could it possibly be? She was the one that always came back from the dead to haunt him, a thorn to his side he could not get rid of. But now, she was gone, the moment he tried to reach out to her again.
He wondered.
He wondered so bad.
Boy Savior she called him. It made him so angry back then. So angry he turned his back on her, accepting the fact that he would never see the same girl he once was so close to.
But now he wondered if he gave up on her too soon.
Deep down all along, Powder was in there. The pain that she endured to live the way she had, she did everything to survive. But his cowardice could not face that. He could not see the suffering or the light that had disappeared from her gaze. The glimpse of her scared face beneath his grasp during their fight looked so much like... Powder. And yet, he still could not save her. Instead, he watched Silco carry her away, for her to continue the path of destruction.
When he found her there in her hideout, prepared to end it all, he could finally see the scope of it all. No longer was he shrouded in an endless cycle of rage and resentment, and for once, he could see it with a clear vision.
He should have tried harder -- to be at her side, save her of the demons that chased her.
She had painted him of her colors, her touch tickling his skin as he watched the furrow of her concentrated brow. Jinx was different from Powder in the other timeline, more rough and shrivel, her scowl imprinted on her lips. He realized he didn't mind it though.
Then they went off to war, only for one of them to return.
He... missed her.
Now all that was left of were his spiraling thoughts, of what ifs and regrets.
He pressed his fist against his forehead, feeling the heat of tears swarm from the corner of his eyes. Where he had been with Powder in the other universe on the same rooftop overlooking Piltover, he was now alone, the quiet unbearable.
Powder's words rang in his mind, a push for him to keep going.
"Sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind."

Hello-hello
In your headcanons, Chrollo is very careful with reader, afraid to scare her away with some thoughtless actions or words. Especially when it comes to intimacy
But could something happen that would make Chrollo just take her by force?
Perhaps something made him very angry or upset, but that wasnât fault of the reader herself?(Heâs a leader of the Troupe after allâŚ)
Will Chrollo blame himself the next day?
Spoilers for the yorknew and succession war arcs!Â
Warnings: nsfw, non-conÂ
------------------------------------
I imagine there are a few things that could upset Chrollo so deeply he acts impulsively, and when it comes to his darling, the impulse heâs constantly holding himself back from is taking them by force. Because he wants them so badly, and normally he has a great deal of self control, but when his grip on his emotions start to slip, so does his control over his more innate desires when it comes to you.
The deaths of his fellow troupe members hit him hard, harder than heâd like to admit, and as much as he tried to push the despair from his mind, it left him reeling. How someone could be there one moment and then gone the next- of course heâd always know this, but to lose so many so dear to him so fast has him desperate for something to ground him.Â
And of course, itâs you. Youâre all that he needs, he knows this, heâs always known. Just to hold you close, smell the scent of your hair, feel your soft breath on his skin, listen to the soft beating of your heart. Itâd be enough. Itâd be more than enough.Â
Chrollo wraps his arms around you tight, pulling your back against him as you lay together in his bed. Itâs not uncommon to lay like this together, but you can tell something is wrong. His breathing is a little off, and his heartbeat is pounding.Â
His hands trace little patterns on your skin, inching over your bare arms and across the fabric of your nightclothes. Itâs not like him, to get so handsy with you. Itâs so unlike him that you squirm a little, uncomfortable with the advances heâs making.Â
âChrollo-â you whisper, unsure whatâs gotten into him and scared of what it could mean.Â
âForgive me, my love.â he whispers against the back of your neck, before pressing an open mouthed kiss against your skin.Â
Heâs been holding back for so long, wanting you for what seems like an eternity but never able to have you. But tonight he can't resist you, whatever it is that draws him to you is too strong and he cant stop himself from indulging in you. Surely youâll hate him for this, surely all the progress heâs made will be lost, but he needs you- more than heâs ever needed anything.Â
He pins you down beneath him, body caging yours against the bed, and before you can let out a noise of protest his lips are on yours. Gone is the way he normally kisses you; so soft, so sweet.Â
The way he normally gently caresses and touches you is gone, replaced with this new side of him, hungry and desperate.Â
Itâs not that heâs rough with you- even now, he hates the idea of having to hurt you. But if you insist on making this difficult, he won't be able to hold back. But heâd much rather have you willing beneath him. Or, if not willing, then at the very least, not defiant.Â
He kisses you again and again, his tongue sliding into your mouth when you try to gasp. His body presses up against yours, hips moving against yours in a desperate attempt for friction. This is what he needs- all of you. And soon enough he can wait no longer; pulling at your clothes to free your body to the night air, delighting in the sight of you finally, finally, bare to him after all this time.Â
He knows heâll hate himself tomorrow, he knows heâll fall to his knees and beg you for forgiveness, plead for you to give him another chance. But with you beneath him like this, tomorrow seems so far away.

Summary: When the team gets called out of town the day before Thanksgiving, Aaron has to beg for forgiveness from his wife. But the next week theyâre home, he learns that he shouldnât have felt guilty.
Consider Donating: Here
âWe should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make out blessings count.â Neil A. Maxwell
Oh, his wife was going to kill him. This is how he went out. Aaron Hotchner, the formidable Unit Chief of the BAU, was slightly panicking as he was packing up his briefcase to take with him on the plane. His phone was out to call his wife, who was preparing for Thanksgiving dinner the next day, to tell her that they had been called out of town.
He sighed as he ran a hand across his forehead, already feeling the stress headache coming on from having to call her. This was going to be their first Thanksgiving as a married couple, and he had just hoped that they were able to have it. But, of course, that was not what the psycho and sociopaths of the world have in store for him.
There was one, two, three rings before her sweet honeyed voice answered with a cheerful, âMr. Hotchner, to what do I owe this midday personal call? Not that Iâm complaining.â
âHey, honey. Iâm uh- notgonnabehometomrrow,â he mumbled as fast as he could, causing her to have him repeat it.
âI wonât be home tomorrow for Thanksgiving. The team got called out to Nebraska on a child kidnapping case.â Aaron heard her take in a deep breath, and release it in a long sigh on the other end of the line.
âI am so sorry, honey. I know we had all those plans made, and you can still go have dinner with your family. I just⌠the team.â The longer he tried to justify his actions, the worse he felt about himself.
âDo you know when youâll be home,â came her soft ask.
âNo. These things, especially kidnapping cases, we never can predict how theyâll turn out. Iâm hoping weâll be home soon.â
âOkay. Iâll take Jack with me to dinner tomorrow. Weâll be fine, Aaron. Just focus on catching the bad guy.â
How he wished he could have. It had been five days since they touched down in Kearney, Nebraska. Five days, and they were right back to square one. Firstly, this unsub was crafty. He managed to throw suspension off of whomever it was and get another guy arrested. Every lead was turning out to be a dead end. And Aaron was pissed.
He had talked with his wife a little bit every morning and every night that he had been gone, but it did not hold a candle to the need he felt to be home. As he sat around the conference table they had been granted, Aaron pulled a bit on his tie to get it to loosen. A cup of mediocre cop shop coffee was placed in front of him, and an Italian sat next to him.
âIâm not gong to ask if youâre alright, because I know the answer to that. But I will say, itâs going to be fine.â The wisdom in his voice caused the younger man to stare him from where his chair was leaned back.
âI just want to go home, Dave. I want this case over with, and to go home. We never take this long on kidnappings. There has to be something that weâre missing.â The unit chief lamented, turning his face to the ceiling and shielding his eyes with his hands.
âWeâll catch him, Aaron. We always do. Donât worry. Whether itâs a blessing or a curse, we havenât found a body which means the kid is probably still alive.â Dave reassured, watching his friend closely.
âI know you were looking forward to spend the holiday with your lovely wife, but this is the job. Besides, she is more than likely not as upset as you think. Just put your head in the game, so we can get home sooner.â Rossi patted his knee, and left, shutting the door behind him. All that was left in the room was Hotch, the evidence board, and his own racing thoughts.
As much as he tried to remain focused, he could not help but think of his wife. And in doing so, he thought back to Hailey. She had only been able to take so much of him as unit chief before she threw in the towel. Would his current wife do the same if he kept having to cancel major and minor holidays for the sake of the team?
That was something that he never cared to think about, but it was a very real possibility. Hotch grabbed the cup of coffee and turned to the board behind him. The girl that had disappeared was the same age as Jack. She needed him now. Aaron really needed his head in the game. But the longer he stared at the evidence board, the more questions he got.
Had this girl been a newborn, he would have thought that this was a female abduction. Like a lightbulb flicking on, he sprang from his seat, and called the rest of the team in. From that point on, it was only a matter of time.
Coming home after six days away was like a breath of fresh air. It was late, almost midnight, when Hotch dragged his tired bones to the front door of his apartment. When he got inside, the sight made him chuckle as he disarmed his security system.
His wife was asleep on the couch with a bunch of laundry spread out around her. It honestly looked like a little nest that she had made for herself. Setting down his briefcase, and carefully stepping over the piles, his hand made contact with her arm and gently shook her awake.
âAar, youâre home,â she mumbled sleepily.
âYeah, I am. Letâs get you to bed, Mrs. Hotchner.â Aaron picked his wife up with little difficulty, before turning and making their way to bed. He placed her underneath their sheets, kissed her head, and went to take a shower.
His memory never recorded himself falling asleep, but he knew he did. Purely, for the simple fact that he awoke the next morning in his bed, with his wife already out of it. However, after checking the time on the clock, Aaron rushed to get ready to go into work. He took the fastest shower, put his suit on in record time, and was rushing to lace up his shoes.
âGood morning, dear. Why are you in such a hurry?â
Aaron paused in between doing the laces from tying his left shoe to look up to where his wife was standing in the kitchen. His mug was sitting on the table with some steaming coffee in it. A plate was in front of it filled with eggs, sausage, and toast.
âUmâŚâ he trailed off, âgoing to work? Itâs Tuesday.â
âDave got you and the team the day off. Go change into something more comfortable, sweetie.â She giggled as she waved him off, back to the bedroom. As he did, he saw the counters filled with different preparations of side dishes. It confused him, but he was just thankful for the day off.
Coming back, Hotch was grateful that he could enjoy his day with his wife. He took his plate and pressed a kiss to her cheek while she went to sit with her own plate beside him. While they ate, she asked about the case they had just wrapped. Normally, this was not something that he liked bringing up, however, it felt nice to get it off of his chest.
Occasionally, when cases are this rough and long, it takes longer for him to decompress after the fact. Figuring out that someone was kidnapping a young girl to protect his wife that could not grapple with the fact that their daughter was dead; it was not something that you could easily comprehend. But, being able to talk to his wife and not a bureau mandated therapist was defiantly preferable.
Being able to go pick his son up from school was a welcomed change. However, his wife made sure to tell the Hotchner boys the second they got home to go get changed. He did not know why. All he knew was that the two adults, and Jack, were grabbing warmed dishes and heading out.
âWhere are we going,â came his ask.
âYouâll see,â she replied.
The further they derived, the more he began to recognize the route they were on. Rossiâs mansion was quickly coming into view as they made the final turn into the driveway. Grabbing the dishes, the Hotchnerâs went to the front door, and were greeted by their favorite Italian.
âSeĂąora Hotchner, how I have missed you beautiful.â Dave pulled her in and took the dish from her hands with a kiss to each cheek.
âAnd I have missed you, Mr. Rossi.â Jack and Aaron followed after them. They were also greeted by Dave, and they placed their other dishes on the table outside, where a bunch of other food was already.
However, there was a sight that he never expected. The entire team was outside in the backyard. It was a massive party that he had no idea was going on. Garcia was with Derek and Emily already drinking wine. Will sat with Spencer who was shouting Henry magic tricks in the mean time.
Turning back to look at his wife who smirking an impish smile, he was confused, and knew it showed through on his face.
âI know you were upset about missing Thanksgiving last week. So I talked with Dave about maybe doing a redo.â Before he could stop himself, Aaron swooped down and kissed his wife passionately.
âWell, that is definitely one way to say thank you.â She said with a dazed smile.
âCome on, love birds. Letâs get this started.â Dave guided them to their seats, while Aaron was just thinking how thankful he was to have a wife like he did.
Catherine Pulsifier said, âGive thanks not just on Thanksgiving Day, but every day of your life.â

Chapter 2 - A Strange Day
You wake up to a drop of water landing on your face. Opening your eyes, you see it came from a stalactite. "Wah... Why am I..." The memories of last night flood into your mind and you quickly sit up. You scan your surroundings to confirm if you dreamed the whole thing or not. You are in the same place you fell asleep in, the only thing missing is Mr. Puzzles. Did he leave or did you make him up? As you ponder this your thoughts are interrupted by a delicious smell. Your stomachďżź growls, you did not eat anything yesterday and you are starting to feel the side effects of that.
Following the smell, you make your way to the room with the campfire and see some pork chops being cooked on it. But more importantly you see Mr. Puzzles who is cooking said pork chops. He happily waves at you and motions to you to come sit down.ďżź You do just that, now closer to the food your mouth begins to water.
Once the pork chops are done cooking Puzzles hands them all to you. "Aren't you also hungry?" You ask him forgetting for a moment that there is likely no possible way for him to eat, considering he has a TV for a head.
He shakes his head and says something on the lines of "I'm fine." You still do not fully understand what he is saying but it reminds you of an idea you had yesterday. "So I was wondering... Would you like to come over to my house? I have a book and quill you could use so that you don't have to struggle talking to me."
He nods while trying (but failing) to hide his excitement. "Alrighty then, the rain should hopefully be gone so we should start making are way there-" Wait where is Brian.
"Hey Puzzles, do you know where Brian went?" Mr. Puzzles eyes widen as he realizes he completely forget about your sheep. Oh no oh no oh no, you can not loose him again. What if you can not find him this time or what if you do find him but he is-
Puzzles says your name which causes you to look up at him. He has his claw stretched out to you. Looks like he wants you to take it. You don't know why but you trust him so you take his hand. His claw is cold to the touch. Once you take his hand you realized you are no longer in the cave.
You are now on top of a very tall tree. "WHAT THE-" You were so surprised by this that you stumbled backwards and almost fell off the tree, thankfully Puzzles was there.
Catching you quickly before you fall, he puts one claw on your back and the other one grabs your wristďżź. You both stayed like that for a few seconds before he quickly places you back on the tree and turns away from you. You could have sworn you saw a purple line appear across his screen before he turned away. Your face feels hot for some reason but let's not think about that right now.
"So uh, why did you bring me here?" You ask him. He turns back to you and points down to the ground. You take a look and see little hoof prints. Your so happy you can not even talk, you just make a happy squeak and hug Mr. Puzzles. He is incredibly cold but you do not mind since your body has always ran pretty warm. It takes a few seconds but Puzzles does return the hug, a bit awkwardly though.
Realizing what you did you quickly let go and stop the hug. "Sorry I suddenly hugged you, I was just uh- Thank you for your help." You smile at him and he smiles back. He says "your welcome." You think.
"Well we should probably get off of this tree and follow those prints." You tell him. Puzzles holds out his hand, which you take again and- POOF! Your both back on the ground. This time you don't fall but your stomach feels a bit queasy. You wave it off and the both of you take off after Brian.
It started as you both running together but it quickly turned into a race. Puzzles was a whole lot faster do to him having longer legs than you. You tried to at least keep up with him but he soon disappeared behind all the trees. You kept following the prints until you saw Mr. Puzzles again, he looked confused.
As you got closer you saw why, the prints just... Ended. No Brian in sight. Did something kill? No you do not think so. The ground is still wet from the rain last night so there would have been tracks from another animal. So why did they stop here. Your suddenly hit with a wave of dread. You want to leave, you do not feel safe anymore. Something is wrong.
"Hey, Puzzles can we leave. I don't want to be here anymore..."ďżź You did not notice this but you were gripping the sides of your shirt. ďżźBut Puzzles noticed.
Mr. Puzzles led the way through the forest, he knew it a lot better than you did. He was pretty close to you while you walked together, as if silently telling you he was going to be protecting you from any dangers that may appear. It made you feel a bit better. But you were still feeling uneasy so you asked him a question. "Would it be ok if I could hold your claw until we get out of here?"
He looks down at you and nods his head. You take his claw, your hand feels small compared to his. Now feeling slightly safer, you both continue walking until you see the edge of the woods. Finally, you thought you would be in there forever. Walking out of the woods and taking a look around you see your house in the distance. You have never felt this happy to see your house before. Still holding Mr. Puzzles claw you start sprinting towards your house.
Puzzles is not ready for that and almost falls when you start sprinting but he recovers quickly. Now the both of you are sprinting towards your house but the closer you get to it the stronger your feeling of unease gets. Something happened while you were gone. You can feel it.
You are now standing in front of the door to your house. You don't want to open it. You know if you open it you will see something you won't like. Your hand is now on the door knob. Your shaking. Something cold touches your shoulder causing you to jump.
Puzzles quickly pulls his hand away and apologizes. ďżźYou tell him. "Oh, it's ok. I was just lost in thought. I'll open the door now." Mustering up enough courage to open the door. You turn the door knob and brace for the worst. You feel a chill run down your spine as you look through that doorway.
(HAHAHA you want to know what happens next? Well too bad cuz I'm on my villain arc đ but actually I just want to say that reading the replies I got on my first chapter made me so happy :] I'm so glad people are enjoying this.)

I love the ending
she tracks him down to the argan group nutters (long story) and is all yelling at him to be with her etc and then rescues him from drowning (aka his actual nightmare came true but she saved him) and then
"âŚBai Siyan is gone." Drops of water dripped heavily from the end of his hair. "The real Bai Siyan, that is, my damn nephew, is gone. I brought that bastard here." "âŚâŚ!" The omitted words contained a lot of information. It was possible to understand his determination to bring the kidnappers here in the hail of bullets. "So I am nothing. There is no name or family to package me. I was adopted and raised by the owner of a fishing ground, and I hate humans." For the first time, she saw his true face clearly. "Nothing is allowed, no qualifications, this is my true identity." No longer that handsome elite, no longer the only son of a political family, no longer the spokesman of the Blue House, but just a man soaked all over. "Love at first sight." Hee Joo used all her strength to gently hit his arm. "I⌠at that time, I saw you cryingâŚ" She suddenly wiped the corners of her eyes that were about to get hot. What made her happier than being alive and well was that she still had the chance to express her true feelings to this man. "I fell in love at first sight when I was nine years old." "âŚâŚ!" "Twenty years. For twenty years, I only saw you." The man was shocked. "In my eyes, you are not the grandson of the prime minister, nor the son of a congressman." "âŚâŚ" "The person I want to see again is the you who secretly cried in the back alley, the you who didn't eat well, and the you who had nightmares." "âŚâŚ!" "That person is not Bai Siyan." He couldn't help but frown. In fact, that expression was terrible, but since it had come to this point, she had nothing to fear anymore. "And the brother who had phone sex with 406ââ" The round back of her head was grabbed suddenly. The man bit her small lips, as if he wanted to swallow it. He turned his head and kissed her as if he wanted to suck her soul away. His tongue pressed against hers and swept deeply through her mouth. It was more suffocating than drowning. The lips that had parted were pressed together again, again, and kept sticking together. The wet flesh rubbed eagerly. The wet clothes were tightly pressed against each other. "IâŚ!" Hee-joo took advantage of the gap between her lips and shouted. Her chest rose and fell with rapid breathing. "When I was little, I used to look through the trash cans for snacks." "What?" "Oh, and actually, I fart loudly." "âŚ" "That's my shortcoming." She blushed and avoided his gaze. "So, what I mean isâŚ" How could I be so bad at expressing myself? Maybe it's because I used to only threaten people, so now I find it difficult to have ordinary conversations. "If we are a real couple, to be a real couple, we can't hide anythingâŚ, in fact, we should have had such a conversation a long time ago, this kind ofâŚ!" Although he had a blank expression, Hee-joo insisted on finishing the words. "From now on, I want to tell you who I really am." "âŚ" "Although translation and messaging are good, we should share more of each other's thoughts. We have a lot to say." "I didn't know we needed so many words." "What?" Hee-joo was startled by his rejection and felt uneasy. But she didn't back down easily. "No, no, conversations between husband and wife are importantâŚ!" "I love you." The voice was a little choked. Hee-joo stopped. "I love you, Hong Hee-joo." The sunset was setting behind him. His face looked particularly strange in the backlight. No smile. Instead, there was a distorted expression as if he was suppressing something, like a scar under the reflection of the sunset. Hee-joo couldn't look away. Every second was precious. It turned out that there was no need to say anything more. She grabbed him a little dazedly, and he kissed her again in response. The tongues were entangled and saliva was exchanged. "WellâŚ" The whole body was numb. He smiled softly between the kisses. The sun sets and night is coming. The two hugged each other tightly as if today was the last day of their lives. The chaotic breaths kept interweaving, colliding with each other and separating, and colliding again.

Monday motivation
Okay it is definitely no longer Monday but only by 30 minutes so it's fiiiineee. Anyways, have the first 600 ish words of that bucktommy s1 au. Yes I decided to include Abby, but who knows, I could completely rewrite this and take her out entirely. Or I could still write a s1 au without Abby and still write this. The world is my literary oyster lmao.
Buck had no idea what to expect when he called Abby, saying he was going to help her find her mom. Obviously, Abby was gorgeous, but also was going through a serious crisis, and he was promising to put his prior antics to bed. So to speak.Â
He knew that it was going to be a rough day, and that finding Patricia wasn't going to be easy.Â
But he didn't expect the knock at the door when Abby, Carla, and himself were trying to make a game plan. And neither, it seemed, did Abby.Â
He stayed at the table with Carla, focusing more on the maps to try to get a decent idea of where to start, but he couldn't help but to be curious. Besides, the table wasn't exactly that far from the door.
âTommy? What are you doing here?â Abby asked, seemingly confused. He looked up and saw Abby with her arms crossed. He couldn't exactly see the other figure in the doorway from this angle, but from the way Abby was looking up, he was probably around Buckâs own height.Â
âYou sent me a text. Patricia is missing? I know I'm probably the last person you want helping you but I actually have some experience with search and rescue. And I care about Patricia too, Abby. Even after everything between us.âÂ
Oh god. An ex? Was he going to try to win Abby back? Buck had no clue exactly what was going on between him and Abby, but he did really like her. He didn't want some asshole ex ruining things before they even started. But also, him stating he had search and rescue experience piqued Buckâs curiosity. Was he also a first responder? A cop, maybe?Â
âYou have search and rescue experience via a helicopter, Tommy. That's not exactly the same as doing it on foot.â Actually, that probably made him even more badass, though Buck hated to admit it. He could already feel his hackles rising at the mere thought of this Tommy dude helping. Which definitely made him an asshole considering any help was needed when it came to finding Abbyâs mom.
Abby seemed to come to the same conclusion right before Tommy replied with whatever he was going to try to say to convince Abby to take him back. Or find her mom. Or both. Buck was starting to feel a little irrational already.Â
âFine. We need all the help we can get and we're wasting time standing in my doorway. I've already created a general radius of where she could have gotten in the nine hours she was gone.âÂ
Abby started walking over, Tommy in tow, and Buck couldn't help but stare. This was Abbyâs ex? The man could have been sculpted by the Gods if he didn't know any better. Tall, built like a brick house. He even had a cleft. Man was basically Superman. And Buck had to compete with that?Â
âAnd who are you?â Carla had said, breaking the slightly awkward silence that had built when Abby brought Tommy over. She looked him over appreciatively and honestly, Buck couldn't help but do the same. He was allowed to admire another guy, even if he was technically competition.Â
Tommy had smiled slightly, a crooked little grin that Buck hated to admit was charming. âI'm Tommy. Abby's ex.âÂ
Carlaâs eyes narrowed. âThe guy who dumped her because she was taking care of the very woman weâre trying to find?âÂ
Tommy looked taken aback by the statement, and when Buck looked at Abby, she lookedâŚsheepish was probably the best word, honestly. Tommy looked over at Abby, seemingly hurt.Â
âThat's what you're telling people? That I broke things off because of Patricia?â There was a hint of steel to Tommy's voice, checked in anger and hurt. âDamn, I knew I hurt you but I didn't realize you'd paint me as a total dick for it. You didn't seem the type. But I guess neither of us actually knew each other, huh? Anyways. We're here to find Patricia. You can clear things up later. Or not.âÂ
Abby looked regretful, and like she wanted to say more on the subject, but Tommy was right that time was being wasted on this.Â
#bucktommy#i hope this isnt terrible lmao#and that yall wont hate me for actually including Abby in it#also this is not going to be a fic bashing abby#we dont do character bashing in this house#she just made a shitty decision out of hurt#we've all been there
