"you tasted so good, i'm addicted" with fezco please?????
Tumblr media
It’s not like you intended to screen his calls or block his number or anything like that, you were just busy and didn’t make yourself accessible after you decided to let your best friend go down on you. You could blame it on many things: boredom, curiosity, the weed—on his part, and you being drunk which brings out the hungry and the horny in your case.
You went ghost on a dude and Fez wasn’t fucking with that, especially since he was the first on multiple occasions to reach out to you. He didn’t forget what happened either and the fact that you just slid without bothering to discuss it was not sitting right with him. You were on his mind as the days went by and when you did reply to texts they were dry and sure fez didn’t say much in the first place but he couldn’t stand a dry text, not from you mainly.
So he pulled up on you one night when he knew you would be around after trying your best to avoid him.
“You’re on some real stalker shit you know that?” Ashtray let him know as he was getting ready to leave the house.
Fez didn’t want to hear anything his little brother had to say to him. All that mattered right now was you and getting some possible answers. “Shut up and pay attention to nan, I’ll be back whenever.”
It seemed as if you’ve been home for maybe a hour now and since Fez was staring real hard out in his green Nissan Pathfinder, he could see glimpses of you walking around in a towel and a tshirt wrapped around your damp hair. You paced the floor before you disappeared again and now had a missing shirt of his covering your body. It was clear you were looking down at something so Fez tried his luck further and called your ass, putting you on speaker.
His eyes burned through the glass as he watched you look up at the ceiling and sigh, letting the phone ring multiple times. Fez was ready to get out the car and run up but you finally answered.
“What’s up, Fez?”
It was Fez’s turn to look at his phone in disbelief, “wassup? Wassup with you, y/n? I didn’t think you existed anymore. Like you were suddenly a figment of my imagination or somethin’.”
You laughed—not to invalidate his feelings but this wasn’t like Fez. Usually he knew when to fall back and he wasn’t being clingy really, he was just concerned since you stopped coming around and hearing from you, which wasn’t like your friendship.
“Impossible. I’m the real deal, Fez. Act like you know, please.” You joked.
Fez chuckled, “alright then. Where you been? Just disappeared on me.”
“Right, sorry about that. School—
It was Fez’s turn to let out a breath, “let’s cut the shit, y/n. I don’t want to hear the lame shit.”
“…What was that lucky charms?” You wanted him to repeat himself because you clearly heard what was said.
Fez was frustrated, “coo you don’t want to be the first to address the situation, I’ll do it then. Weeks ago, yeah, weeks ago we got into it. Was it consensual? Please tell me ‘cuz I don’t ever want to be one of those fucked up people that just assume that it was—
‘Damn it, Fez.’ You thought to yourself as you paced your small living room again. He was making your heart beat even faster since the phone call started.
“It was! Completely. You don’t have to worry there.” You rushed out making Fez go silent, a small smile finding its way on his lips.
He slowly blinked as he asked, “then what do I have to worry about? and don’t lie to me over this phone if you can’t lie to my face.”
You don’t know who Fez thought he was talking to but you were feeling some thangs with the way he was laying it all out on the table.
“I just feel…unsure. I’ve been thinking it over and over if what we did would ruin our friendship.”
“So the typical cliché?”
“Oh, do you normally go down on your friends?”
Fez laughed.
“You’re a trip. The answer is no, only you.” He stated before carrying on, “I can understand why you thought that but it’s never crossed my mind because we’re so solid and usually just let things flow naturally between us.”
“And we usually don’t think things through which can lead to—
Fez cut you off since he needed to get his point across since you liked to let your head get in the way most days. “You tasted so good, I’m addicted.”
You almost choked at the way that sounded coming off Fez’s lips. Your legs clinched together as you had to hold yourself up against the wall. Your best friend got a taste and was being oh so bold to just say it. It’s what your other friends been saying, that he was sprung and attempting to contact you because he cared (and wanted more).
“W-what do you want me to do with this information, Fez?” You finally said after some time.
Fez shrugged his shoulders knowing you couldn’t see him, “whatever you want with it, I’m telling you how I feel so when you’re ready and know what you want…you know where to find me. Don’t make me wait another week, y/n.”
“Fine. I won’t.”
“Good.” He smirked before hanging up and starting his car which made you walk over to the curtains and peek out at his car pulling away from the curb.
What an ass but you loved that man.

What Have I Done? - Bakugou Katsuki- pt.2
Bakugou x f!reader
Warnings: Angst, Mentions of suicidal thoughts, fluff, insane behavior, nsfw, noncon! Dubcon!, murder, stalking, abusive behavior, yandere!Bakugou, cursing, blood, lowkey kinda slow burn (meaning the beginning is a little boring BUT IT GETS GOOD I SWEAR😭)
Ep. Warnings: Angst, hitting, cursing, stalking, kidnapping, murder
Summary: It’s been awhile since you’ve left him. Two months actually but it was two months too long. Katsuki was slowly going insane and I guess you could say he officially has because he’s officially snapped. You become his main target, his number one priority, his entire being even though you’re trying to leave him. But Katsuki won’t let you. You’re his..and in the words of Bakugou Katsuki..you always will be.
A/N: ....I made it a yandere story y’all. OH SHI-
BAKUGOU’S MASTERLIST
Chapter 1
Twitch, twitch, twitch. That’s all Katsuki’s body been doing. Either his eyes or his fingers, his body is uncomfortably moving. Shit doesn’t feel right for him. And he knows exactly why. You left him.
The first week was horrible. All Katsuki did was cry. He even kept his destroyed home in shambles because he couldn’t find the motivation to do anything. If it wasn’t for Kirishima, Katsuki would have starved himself to death. The second week was just as bad. Nothing but a crying baby being taken care of by his best friend.
The third week is when Katsuki become a drunkard. He made Kirishima and the boys of the Bakusquad constantly take him out whenever. As long as the place served alcohol, he would go. He would go and drink himself to sleep. While he was intoxicated he would cry about how he misses you and how he was a terrible husband. He always said you deserved better but he was too in love with you to let you go. The 4th week was pretty much the same.
After a whole month without you, Katsuki threw himself into depression. For the entirety of the second month, he locked himself within the walls of his home. Thankfully, it was now considered a home environment once again after his dear friends cleaned the place up for him. Katsuki stayed inside all day, drank his soul away every night, and sobbed constantly. Constantly regretting how he neglected you, how he mistreated you, and how he hurt you. He doesn’t even know how he even brought himself to do that. Even though he’s been alone for almost 2 months, he still had hope that you would come back. That things would go back to normal and he would be a better husband to you, just like he promised.
Katsuki felt himself going mad and slipping away, but what pulled the trigger was what Kirishima brought to him on the 6th week.
Flashback
“WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?”
Katsuki looked down at the papers in his hands. Kirishima had walked in with a nervous and sad look on his face when he gave Katsuki the papers you had the red head deliver. “Sorry man...”
Katsuki shook as he stared at the divorce papers with wide eyes. He saw you already signed it and all the paper needed was his signature. His face grew dark as something in his mind snapped. Katsuki turned to his friend and instructed him to get out of his home.
“What? Man are you alright?” Kirishima said. He walked to his best friend and when he reached a hand out for him, Katsuki pulled on his arm and pushed him out the door. He slammed it shut and locked it as he looked at the papers.
A scary smile grew on the man’s face. His eyes grew crazy as he laughed maniacally. Hysterically. As if what he held was the most hilarious thing in the world. His palms began to spark as he used his quirk to destroyed the papers. The quick blast made his hair floof around a bit and when it was over, a pile of ashes lay at his feet.
“She-....she thinks she can leave me?” Bakugou began to walk to the framed picture on the coffee table. He picked up the picture of you both on your last anniversary and ran his finger over the image of you. “Poor Princess....you can’t leave me. You need me. Just as much as I need you. I mean..hehe...look at what I mess I’ve been. I can only assume you must be worse. But it’s okay, love...I’ll find you soon enough..and I’ll help you feel better,” he walked to his bedroom and layed down on the soft mattress as he held the frame close to his chest as he stared sinisterly at the ceiling, “and we’ll never be apart again.”
The 7th week was when it began. Katsuki took some time off of work. He was gonna be too busy for hero work. He had something much more important to do. He had to bring you home.
Katsuki spent the 7th week looking for information on you. He was up 24/7 reading all he can, talking to as many people as he can, and doing all the digging he could until he found you. Unfortunately for him but luckily for you, he found nothing. It pissed him off. How could you have completely erased your existence? Did you just go into hiding or was he not searching hard enough.
This time, the luck switched. Katsuki was just walking to the store when he looked to the far side and saw you in a cab. He had to do a double take to make sure he wasn’t mistaken but after a good glance and taking a picture for confirmation, he knew it was you. His body almost betrayed him as he almost went in to run after you but luckily his brain stopped him. He had to think. Katsuki hid in an alleyway nearby as he watched you from the side. When the driver continued down the road, that’s when he began to follow you. He used his hero training and quirk to keep up with the car. He followed you for miles until the cab finally stopped at some hotel. He watched you walk in and decided this was far enough.
He knew where you were now. He could wait a little longer before snatching you up. If he did it now in broad daylight, chaos would break out. He had to wait for the perfect moment to get you back. He was okay with waiting. He knew where you’ve been staying, how to get there, and knew what time you got back from wherever that cab picked you up. And then it hit him. The cab.
Katsuki went back to look at the picture he took of you in the cab and checked the license plate. With this information, he went home to find where the vehicle was.
Katsuki busted the door open to his home and ran straight to his in-home office. He went to log onto his work laptop that he used for hero work. The laptop contained the tools and websites that would allow him to find the cab. He finally reached the site he was looking for and went back to the picture. There, he typed in the license plate number.
“よ 57-342” he whispered aloud. Finally, he located the vehicle and went to find it. Katsuki followed the location until he found the house where the driver stayed. He waited in hiding, hoping someone would come out and hoped that the someone would be the driver. He waited and waited until finally, after almost 2 hours of waiting, a man came out. Katsuki quickly pulled up the picture and made sure it was the same person who was driving you, and to his luck, it was.
He quickly ran to the driver before he could get into the cab and pulled him into a dark corner. He slammed the man up against the wall and pulled up a picture of you. “Listen! You dropped this girl off at a hotel, I need to know where you picked her up! Tell me! Now!”
“W-whoa!” The driver exclaimed as he took notice of Katsuki’s identity. “Y-you’re Dynamight!”
Katsuki sucked his teeth at the fact that this guy knew who he was but then again, he wasn’t surprised. He was the number 2 hero after all. “Yeah! I am! Now tell me where you picked up my wife you dog-faced loser!” He screamed.
“Y-you’re wife??” The man looked at the picture and recognized you and the name you gave him. “Oh! M-Miss Y/N! Yes! Uh-..uh- I- she- I- ..I picked her up from a gym!” The man exclaimed.
“What gym?! Tell me!!!” Bakugou shouted at the man.
“I-I’m sorry! I don’t know if I can! She- she said she got divorced so how can I trust you’re her husband?!” The man shouted in fear.
“Are you calling me a liar?! I’m a fucking pro-hero! Why would I pull some bullshit like that! Tell me where my wife was! What?! Gym?!” Bakugou screamed once more. In fear, the man gave Katsuki the information he needed.
“Hosu Gym!” The man shook and Bakugou stared for a minute to scare the poor guy before dropping him to the ground. As he walked away, the man spoke up once more. “D-Dynamight, sir. I-If miss Y/N doesn’t want to see you..and you’re forcing information out of people..I’ll have to tell the authorities..sir.”
“You’re not gonna do a damn thing. You hear me?!” The pro screamed. Bakugou side eyed the man as he watched the driver get up from the ground.
“Sir. From the small conversation we had in the car, Miss Y/N said she was divorced-“
“We aren’t divorced!!” Bakugou said as he made a random explosion to intimidate the man. “We are still together, and she is still my wife, and none of this is any of your business!” Bakugou began to walk away but heard the driver grumble something under his breath that triggered something in his brain.
“I can see why she left a crazed man like you...” the driver mumbled. Katsuki quickly snapped his body to face the man and jumped on him. His burning hand found it’s way around the man’s neck and began to squeeze.
“The hell did you say?! You’re gonna wish you never said that you fucking fool, cuz now those are gonna be your last words!” Bakugou said before he activated an explosion and killed the man. Katsuki took deep breaths before realizing what he did and for some reason, he felt no remorse. And he knows why.
“That idiot should’ve known better than to talk about me and Y/N like that...s’his own fault he died.” Bakugou said before walking away from the gruesome scene. He acted like nothing happened as he made his way to Hosu Gym. He just needed to know what time your got there and when. Then, he could finally go home before continuing his plan for the next day.
The blonde decided to wait for some time before he went into the building. It was getting dark and so the gym would be closing soon. He waited and waited until finally, the place was empty. Empty except for the man who worked at the front desk.
Katsuki slipped in right before closing and hid himself in the locker room. He waited 10 minutes before going out and finding the one employee he saw. After exploring the area, Katsuki found the man sitting on a bench. He snuck up behind him, and pounced. He covered the man’s mouth as he tugged him into the back room. Once inside, The blonde threw the man in and locked the door to prevent anyone getting in or out.
“W-What is going on? D-Dynamight, what is happening?” The employee asked in fear. He assumed a threat was going on or some trouble was taking place outside of the gym. He had no idea the trouble was standing right in front of him.
“I need you to tell me when this lady came in.” Bakugou said and pulled up a picture of you. The man looked at the picture and shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t recognize-“
“YOU WILL! This woman came in here today and I need to know what time! TELL ME!” Bakugou screamed as he lit sparks in his palm. The man shook in fear at the hero’s booming voice and began to look harder. After a minute, he finally spoke.
“I- I remember. She came in hours ago! Sometime around 12 to 2!” The man said in hopes the yelling would stop. It didn’t.
“ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?! There’s a huge space in between! I need to know exactly what time she came in! Don’t you morons have a sign in?!” Bakugou screamed.
“We do! We do sir!” The man nodded his head in fear. Bakugou huffed before walking over to him and dragging him by his collar to seat him on the chair in front of the computer.
“Then get into your data base and FIND MY WIFE!” The blonde screamed. The worker nodded frantically before getting right into it. Bakugou watched his every move and the computer. He kept a sparkling hand right next to the man’s head to keep him intimidated as he worked. Eventually, Bakugou saw your profile picture on the screen when the man scrolled down. “Stop. Her. Check what time she came in.”
The man read the drafts and spoke. “1:30 p.m.”
Bakugou nodded before walking to the door and unlocking it. He turned to the trembling man and gave a quick warning with a sinister smile. “If I ever find out that you told anybody, even your own damn friends or family, about what happened tonight, I won’t hesitate to come back and kill you. Am I clear?”
The man gave a quick and jittery “y-yes sir!” As he watched the pro-hero leave the room. Once Bakugou was gone, the man let out a breath of relief and allowed the few tears he was holding back to fall. Bakugou Katsuki definitely struck fear into those of the lives he met.
With this simple information, Bakugou smirked as he walked out the gym doors. He knows where you live, what gym you go to, what day you go, and what time you arrive. You were always a very punctual person. You had a schedule and you followed it through and through. He completely trusted the fact that when he came back here next week, he would be sure to see you. All he had to do now was wait 7 days.
7 days have passed and Katsuki was waiting for your presence in the gym. After finding out you arrived at 1:30, he showed up almost an hour earlier at 12 just in case. He waited and waited for you to show. He was almost out of patience, but after seeing that it was only 1:00, he settled the slightest bit. It wasn’t until he took notice of a familiar figure at the desk.
The man Katsuki had threaten nights ago was shivering and shaking in his boots as he greeted people at the door. He was aware that the pro hero was in the building and after the incident of what went down that night, he was definitely scared for his life. Bakugou began to walk to the man and said man could feel a scary aura coming around. When he turned, he was greeted with the sight of a smirking Katsuki.
“Hey friend,” Bakugou said with his hands in his pockets.
The man jumped at the sound of his voice and his scary presence made his eyes teary. “H-Hello Dynamight.”
“Thought I’d just come by to warn you again. When Y/N walks through those doors, don’t you fucking dare try telling her about me or my presence here. Got that.....” Katsuki said looking down at the man’s name tag. “Hiro Itadori? ‘Cuz if you do, your body goes boom. Understand?”
“Y-Yes Sir!” Hiro said as he looked to the ground with wide eyes as he felt himself break into a cold sweat. Bakugou patted the man’s back, causing him to flinch but when the hero walked away right after, Hiro calmed down. Unfortunately, that only lasted for about a second before you walked in.
“Hello Hiro!” You joyfully said. Your voice reached the ears of your ex-husband. Or more so, your “supposed to be” ex-husband. His ears perked up and he smirked as he hid behind a corner wall, taking the view of you in.
“Y/N.” He whispered to himself. He smiled and a blush bloomed on his porcelain skin as he admired you from afar. You were just as beautiful as he remembered. If anything, your looks seemed to have only gotten better. He watched as the man nervously greeted you and allowed you to go through with your workout. Katsuki smirked as he knew the man gave no hint at him being there, and so he would be able to watch you in peace.
Katsuki wasn’t there to keep tabs on your workout and what exercises you did. He was there just to watch you. Of course, while doing so, he admired you, but he was there to gain selfish intel. He watched you from start to end. Once you finished he followed you to your next location. It was still early and so it was safe to assume you weren’t heading to bed yet. He followed you back to your hotel and waited in another area until you walked out again. Sure enough, you did.
For the rest of the day, Bakugou followed and stalked your every move. He watched where you work, where you spent your free time, he followed you to the new cafe you seemed to enjoy, and then he followed you back to your hotel. Instead of waiting in another area and watching from afar, Bakugou climbed the side of the building and watched you from your hotel balcony through the glass door. He payed attention to your every move and noted what time you went to bed. Satisfied with the day’s revelations, he went back to his own home.
Knowing this information, Katsuki was able to sleep a little more peacefully. For the next few weeks, Katsuki followed this procedure. He became a full time stalker, even going so far as to call out of work for some time to put his full attention in you. He watched you like a hawk. He took note of everywhere you went, where you ate, who you spoke to, and what you did. All of it became engraved into his brain.
Now, Katsuki stood at your balcony for the umpteenth time as he stared at your sleeping form. It was deep into the night and with the moonlight on his back, he found enough courage and craze to open the door. He walked in quietly and shut the door, blocking the chilly air from seeping in to awaken your unconscious state. He approached your bed and crouched down to meet your face.
“Still as perfect as ever,” he whispered as he removed a few strands of hair out of your face. His touch didn’t seem to startle you and Katsuki took it as your body naturally indulging in his familiar touch. He blushed at the feeling of your oh so soft skin as his fingertips grazed your pillowy cheeks. His hand finally cupped the side of your face as his thumb drew circles along your skin. Your head unconsciously nuzzled into his warmth like it used to and Katsuki couldn’t help but smile. “Don’t worry Teddy Bear...I’ll bring you home soon.”
With that, Katsuki leaned down and softly placed a kiss on your lips. This was the lightest kiss he ever bestowed upon you. The pressure and weight was similar to a feather and the blonde struggled to restrain himself once he came in contact. He craved more but his mind knew better. Reluctantly, he pulled away and removed his hand from your face. He walked away, back to the balcony to take his leave but not before turning to look back at you. “Real soon.”
You woke up to a sense of familiarity in your room. Although you were alone, you could’ve sworn there was this chilling presence. It was faint but it was there. Taking in a breath and looking around at your surroundings, you reluctantly got out of bed and got ready for the day.
You did the usual. Got ready, got dressed, had breakfast, and went about your day. You went to the market to picked up a few things and ended up staying much longer than you liked. You walked in during daylight and came out when the sun was setting. You sighed in disappointment.
“Guess I can skip the gym this one time. I might as well get back home, read a book or two..” you went on talking to yourself about your schedule. You walked with the groceries in hand as you enjoyed the scenery on your way back, however, even with the shining sun creating it’s golden hour with a beautiful purple sky, you couldn’t help but feel wary of the stillness in the wind.
‘Where the fuck is she?!’ Bakugou thought to himself. He waited at the gym all damn day. He waited and waited to see your beautiful face but you never showed. If he had known that you would’ve skipped out on the gym today he wouldn’t have came here and wasted his time. Today was supposed to be the day. The day you came home.
Shaking off his negative thoughts, Bakugou continued with his backup plan. Although it would hurt his soul to bring harm to his precious princess, he reminded himself that he was doing this for her. He’s been so broken for the past months, he could only imagine how destroyed you must be. Hurting you was his way of helping you.
And so, Bakugou made his way to your hotel, where he found himself standing infront of your glass door at your balcony. To his dismay, you weren’t there. He released a huff before climbing down and once again, began to wait. He waited and waited in hiding, constantly on the lookout for you. It’s hard to find you in the city when you don’t follow your daily schedule, but knowing where you currently resided to get your rest made his job much easier.
Finally, after some time, he heard the familiar and comforting sound of your humming voice as you sang a little song to yourself. Bakugou took the sight of you in and blushed at your beauty from afar. He allowed himself to soak in the sound of your pretty voice before making his move. “Sorry Princess.”
You finally made it to the hotel. After your long stroll, you couldn’t wait to get some rest. Except, the closer you got, the more tense you became. You could feel the suspenseful aura in the air and your pace soon slowed down. Eventually, you came to a stop as your nerves got the best of you.
“Hello?” You said in the wind. You looked around and saw nothing but the pitch black night illuminated by the street lights and stars.
“Is someone there?” You asked again, turning your head another direction. Nothing but leaves in the wind. You released a sigh and continued your walk but became startled due to the sound of squirrels fighting in the trees.
“Ah!” You screamed and dropped your bag. After taking notice of the two animals going at it, you chuckled to yourself and turned to pick up your bag, unfortunately being startled once again at the sight of shoes in front of you. “AH!”
You jumped back in fear and took a fighting stance before you settled and relax at the sight of your supposed ex-husband. “Bakugou..it’s just you.”
“Mm, nope.” Bakugou said as he bent down to pick up your bag and hand it to you. “It’s Katsuki.”
His words sent your eyes rolling as you took your bag back with a hesistant hand. Something seemed..off.
“Not anymore. Thanks for the help. Bye.” You attempted to walk on to your hotel entrance but his arm stopped you.
“What? That’s it? Thanks? Bye?” Bakugou asked while gently pushing your body back in front of him. “We should talk, Y/N.”
“There’s nothing to talk abou-“
“There is.” Bakugou said with a firm voice, grabbing your full attention. Seeing your doe eyes look at him with caution caused him to settle. Bakugou sighed through his nose and allowed his hands to rest on your waist. “I miss you, Y/N. I want you to come back home.”
You shook your head at the idea and scrunched your eyes as you tried to step out of his hold. “Bakugou..”
“Hear me out, okay? It won’t be like last time, Teddy Bear-“
“You don’t know that-“
“I do. Because I’m going to try harder for you and I’m going to hold onto you and I’m not gonna ruin us for a second time. I still love you Y/N. I always have and I always will.” Bakugou sweetly said. You looked at him with the same eyes of caution before you placed your hands over his, giving him a sign of hope.
“I’m sorry, Bakugou,” you said, pulling his hands off of your waist. “I sent divorce papers. I don’t want to be with you anymore. I don’t love you anymore.”
“You don’t mean that.” Bakugou said with full confidence. Although you pulled his hands away from your waist, you still allowed him to keep a hold on your own hands.
“...I should.” You said looking down. With each word of denial, Bakugou took a step closer, invading your personal space. “You should get going-“
“No, Y/N-“
“Bakugou-“
“Baby. I know you still want me. I know you still love me and I know you’re excited that I’m back. I love you...and you love me. So just admit it.” He said, inches away from your face. You stared in his eyes with a look of longing...and a hint of love. He was right. You did still love him. But after the neglect and harm he’s brought you, you didn’t know if you did want to go back. You didn’t know.
Sensing your hesistation, Bakugou slowly moved in to close the gap between you two. His hands let go off yours as he wrapped his arms around your waist. His face inched closer to yours and when you didn’t stop him, he continued. Finally, he gently placed his lips upon your own and you’d be lying if you said you didn’t feel something again. His kisses always brought a comforting feeling of butterflies in your stomach and after a second of feeling his warm lips, you kissed him back. Your hands found way around his neck as you pulled him in deeper and you could feel Bakugou smile into the kiss. It was hot and passionate. You were out in the open but for a moment it felt like no one else in the world existed. You would’ve gotten lost in the kiss had it not been for you remembering the situation you were in with the man.
Reluctantly, you gently pushed Bakugou off of you, but he still managed to press his forehead to your own. “Katsuki...you should go home.”
“Not without you.” He softly said. You shook your head as you completely pushed him off of you and gathered your things.
“Please...just go.” You said and began to walk away but Bakugou held onto your arm to stop you from moving any further.
“I’m not leaving without you, Y/N. Come home.” He stated.
“Bakugou! Just leave!” You shouted as you turned to him. When you faced the blonde man, you were shocked to see a crazed smile decorating his face.
“Too bad. I’m not asking Y/N. I’m telling. You’re coming home with me. Tonight.” He said and you scoffed at him with slight fear.
“You’re crazy!” You said and tried to shake his hold off of you, but of course failed.
“About you? Yes.” He said as he pulled you in closer. You squirmed against his hold until he pressed you in his chest and kept you in his grasp. You continued to fight against him but he grabbed your face with one hand to force you to stop and look at him.
“Let me go!”
“Listen! You either come home with me the easy way..or my way.” He warned. You looked at him with fear laced all around your face as you watched his insane side surface. You began to squirm again and fight once more.
“I’m not going!” You spat. Bakugou just released a simple laugh before caressing the side of your face.
“Yes. You are.” With that, the gentle hand on the side of your face formed into a first as he swung and knocked you out. You dropped unconscious in his hold and Bakugou was quick to carry you princess style and walk away, abandoning your groceries on the sidewalk.
“Shoulda listened. Cant believe you forced me to hurt you like that, baby.” Bakugou spoke to your unconscious state as he walked back home through dead city streets. “Don’t worry though, I’ll take care of you once we make it back. And then, we’ll never be apart again. I promise.”
You awoke to chains being locked on your wrist that were tied against a headboard. You layed on a large mattress in a dark room with a dim light. As you looked around, you recognized the familiar place. The place you used to make love for hours with your ex-husband. The place where movie dates and cuddle sessions were a must. The place you locked yourself in before leaving your last relationship. Katsuki’s bedroom.
You tried to jump out of bed but the restraints pulled you back down. You tried to scream and only muffled sounds could be heard. Katsuki taped your mouth shut. You tried using your quirk but it didn’t work. You looked to your restraints and saw the cuffs he used to hold you were quirk restraining cuffs. With nothing else to do, you tossed and turned in the bed as you allowed the muffled sounds to be as loud as they could. Eventually, the ruckus you were making brought the attention of your captor. Katsuki Bakugou.
Hearing all the noise, Bakugou busted opened the door to be met with your frustrated and teary eyes. You glared at him as he smirked at your locked up state. He took the opportunity to walk up to you and caress your face.
“I’m so sorry I had to hit you baby,” he said leaning down to place a kiss on your forehead. “But you left me with no choice. All you had to do was come home on your own free will and I wouldn’t have had to do all that.”
You began to tremble with anger and fear as you stared up at the man. Your teary eyes challenged his insane rubies as he sat on the side of the bed.
“How does it feel to be back? Hm?” He asked, ripping off the tape. You groaned at the pain and grew sick as you saw Bakugou pervertedly lick his lips at the sound. You leaned back and huffed with heavy breath before answering him.
“What the hell is wrong with you?! Let me go!” You screamed. He only looked at you in confusion as another sinister smile took place on his lips.
“Why would I do that, Teddy Bear?” He asked, allowing his thumb to create sweet and soft circles on your cheek.
“I don’t want you anymore Katsuki! I don’t want to be with you!” Bakugou merely raised a brow at your words and continued to listen. “You burned me-“
*SMACK*
You looked at the man in front of you with fear and shock written on your face. Your cheek stung as your face now turned to the side but Bakugou quickly changed that by taking you by your chin to make you face him and wrapped a hand around your neck, chocking you. You gasped for air as Bakugou’s smirk became replaced with a frown and his brows became pointed.
“How dare you?! You’re asking what’s wrong with me but what the hell is wrong with you?! You left me, for months, Y/N. I was heartbroken. I was basically dead with you gone. I did you a fucking favor bringing you back. If I was so fucked, I can only imagine how horrible you must’ve been feeling. You’re lucky I came and save you. Saved us. And now, we can be happy again.” He explained.
“K-...Katsuki-..p-please!” You forced out, trying to beg for air.
“SHUT UP! I saved you, Y/N. So don’t even try to mention the little accident that happened so long ago, baby. Now you can forgive me. And don’t worry..I’m ready to listen to all the apologies you surely have for me...even if I have to choke them out of you.” He seethed with his hand tightening. Your eyes began to pop as the blood flow began to fill your face. Your eyes turned red as you struggled for air.
“I-...I-I’m..K-Katsuki! ...I’m sorry!” You shouted as best as you could. Luckily for you, the second you did, Bakugou’s hand lost its grip and simply rested on your neck. You choked and coughed as you relished in the sweet taste of oxygen. He smiled and leaned down to give your lips a sweet peck to shut you up and tapped your cheek before he walked to the door. Before leaving, he turned around to look at you and give you your official welcome back.
“I’m glad you’re home, baby. Can’t believe you really tried leaving. You’re mine, Y/N. And you always will be....don’t forget it.”
He slammed the door shut, walking away from the room with a smile. And you?
You cried.
A/N: Back by popular demand, we have part 2 to “What Have I Done.” How was it? In my opinion the beginning SUCKED! But I promise it’ll get better! The story will focus on Y/N and Bakugou’s new lives now so stay tuned and I hope you guys enjoyed it!

~Metal Family headcanons~
These are like my... general hcs)? which means I didn't include my main hc that Glam, Ches and Vicky are polyamorous, married and started dating after Glam met Vicky, and absolutely everything that implies for the kids and the relationships between each member of the fam. Maybe I'll make a separate post for that or maybe not! Who knows lkfwnlfqnf
Glam
Bisexual
Glam has constant nightmares and ocasional night terrors ever since he ran away home and is an active sleep walker. Ches helped him through the worse ones when they were younger, and learned how to deal with them, always preferring not to wake him up but being with him until the episode passed. Vicky has learned how to deal with them, though she normally asks Ches for advice with it cuz she comes out short sometimes.
He has PTSD. I bet it's diagnosed too, he takes medication and goes to therapy, it doesn't mean he still doesn't have his bad days anyway. He's trying to get better.
Glam has talked to Vicky about his past, his father and his family. This is a direct contradiction of Alina's confirmation that Glam doesn't talk about it with anyone but man FUCK THAT. We love good communication in this house, Vicky tries her best to help him, but there's only so much she can do to help.
Glam enjoys gardening, cooking and making models, he also likes doing his make up, painting his nails and dressing up in fancy, extravagant clothes even if he has nowhere important to go.
He likes taking care of everyone's hair, and constantly helps Vicky brush her hair cuz there's so much of it, Dee when he gets stressed over how tangled it can get, buys Ches hair products so he actually takes care of it, and chases Heavy so the kid actually washes, untangles and brushes his hair.
This one is kind of weird, but I refuse to think any adult in the family is unarmed at any time. Glam owns a taser and pepper spray. They're bright pink and sparkly.
This man cried his eyes out while watching Coco. He's hell to watch movies with cuz he talks and predicts what's gonna happen during the movie, judges them with scores at the end and all.
Vicky
Also bisexual!
Vicky's the one who does everyone's laundry most of the time. She prefers it that way since she's the only one that knows how to wash their black clothes so the colors stay vibrant. (This is based on my gf shaming everyone but Vicky cuz their black clothes always look so muted and almost gray, but Vicky's whole outfit is always the same vibrant black colors, so we decided that neither Glam or the kids know how to wash dark clothes)
She has anger issues, if it isn't obvious. I think she also has PTSD, mainly survivor's guilt due to her surviving the accident her brother died in. She blames herself and cannot bear to talk about it, in some sort of deep denial. If she can't remember, it can't hurt as much, right?
She has scars on the right side of her back and her hip, from the road rash she got on her brother's accident, she never treated it due to grief and it scarred badly. Apart from that, the scar of the caesarean section from Heavy's birth. She doesn't really mind both of them, they happened, nothing to do about them.
She likes watching boxing competitions, brawling matches and motorcycle repairing on TV. Loves doing BBQ's and going to the pool. Also an enjoyer of teasing her kids, kissing and loving her husband at random times, spending time drinking and bonding with Ches and bragging about her family and punching anyone who thinks they're not that cool.
Not particularly a fan of make up, skirts and dresses or any traditionally femenine-perceived stuff. But has been making exceptions due to Glam and Ches being unashamed of being seen as femenine, and actually rocking the looks. The internalized misogyny is kind of slowly dissapearing.
Apart from the guns she carries in each arm (I mean her biceps, have you looked at the size of those?? She strong) she has brass knuckles on her at all times. Glam gifts her new ones sometimes, she loves having multiple choices to punch people teeth in.
Loves horror, thrillers and action movies. Falls asleep during rom-coms and dramas. Ironically, loves gossip and talking shit about people. Enjoys hearing Ches talks about the gossip going on in the nursery home even if she doesn't know who the hell he's talking about.
Rest of the family under the cut!
Heavy
Heavy is a trans boy! He doesn't know his sexuality yet though, he's still figuring himself out. When he's older, i think he definitely dated some men but had better luck with girls.
Heavy has had innocent crushes on some girls on his class before, but they never turn into anything more cuz he's not the best at expressing himself. He follows the bother-the-girl-to-death-until-she-hates-you gimmick, and unsurprisingly, it doesn't work.
I'm sorry to break this to u but Heavy totally had an among us phase, and uses so much reddit and twitch slang... You know he does.
Likes bullying and teasing his brother to death. You know that when Dee had his first romance, Heavy was ALL up in his business being a tease and a bad attempt at a wingman. He means well tho.
He's not squeamish at all. Also has great pain resistance. This kid has picked cockroaches with his bare hands and loves cats, of course the cats have scratched him. He's tough!
Grows up to be the charming himbo he was always destined to be.
Dee
I hc him as demisexual. Kind of inherited his dad's tastes for the takes no crap, intimidating but pretty kind of people.
Can't cook. He tries but he can only do basics like rice, cereal, chicken nuggets or eggs. Complicated meals always burn or don't taste like anything at all. It drives him crazy.
Dee was a quiet and very well behaved toddler before Heavy was born. He never threw tantrums or got whims. After Heavy was born though, and despite the fact he understood his brother was small and needed special care, he started craving attention often and cried and got mad at little things. Typical jealousy of the oldest sibling.
The first time Dee fell in love with someone, he didn't recognize it was love at first. He just thought his interest on the person was born out of curiosity and aesthetic attraction, but as soon as he realized he seeked validation and companionship, that he liked seeing them smile, that he wanted to protect them, that he yearned for more time alone with them and that he wanted more than what just a simple friendship implied, it was an instant 'oh hell no'. He wanted those feelings to get the hell away, but unfortunately, they were there to stay.
Canonically likes MLP, psychological and horror anime like Death note and Hellsing, so I'm deciding he also watched Death Parade, had a FNAF phase, is very into The Walten Files. This guy enjoys any kind of specially dark ARG's and knows a ton of lore of real crime, unsolved cases, ghost appearances and other stuff. Doesn't believe in the supernatural, but sure is entertained by it.
He's a mess at romance. Flirting? His attempts at compliments are hardly flattering. Giving gifts? The best he can manage is jewelry and you can kind of tell he asked his dad for help. Dates? He's so nervous he's silent for most of it, but begins getting comfortable and having fun if his partner really knows how to get him down from his negativity cloud.
Ches
Pansexual.
He's very good with kids. He has the patience of a saint and he's laid-back, chill and fun but still is an authority figure who knows how to put limits. Sure, he's gonna let the kids light up a house on fire BUT hey, now they know everything about fire precautions, burns and how to treat them AND how to get away with arson. What an educational evening, am I right?
Due to certain info from the "Goodbye" official comic, I headcanon Ches as depressed. I don't want to elaborate a lot 'cuz of spoilers, but... God, everything related to his mom fucking hurts, man. How did he deal with all that?
Ches has been Dee and Heavy's babysitter so many times he cannot count them with all his fingers. He learned how to put those kids to sleep almost immediately (Sing Bon Jovi's "This ain't a love song" and any cheesy love song in a slow lullaby style and they're out), which movie were their favorite as kids (Heavy loved 'Monsters Inc.' and Dee never looked away during 'Meet the Robinsons'), how to console them after nightmares (Heavy needed reassurance, sweet words, and to be with someone until he fell asleep again. Dee just had to be tucked in, get his nightlight turned on and kissed in the forehead). He practically raised those kids along with Vicky and Glam.
More than once, Dee and Heavy have slipped and called Ches "Dad". Ches immediately gets his shit eating grin on and answers "Yes, son?" and does a couple of dad jokes just to mess and embarrass them. He's actually very flattered and surprised at how proud of himself he is for being a father figure to both kids.
Has a scar on the left side of his forehead due to a bottle his mom threw at him when he was younger, around the time he met Glam. He hates the scar with passion, it's a permanent reminder of the fact she never cared, that's why he always keeps it covered with his headband. Gets sad about it sometimes.
Ches likes to spend his time with a group of grannies of the nearby nursing home. He genuinely considers them his friends and gossips and hangs out with all of them on weekends. Bingo, billiards, walks in the park, soap opera marathons, you name it. I even designed them, gave them names and backstories... God, i just love the concept too much. I'll make some art about Ches and his granny gang FOR SURE, you're NOT ready for them.
Carries a pocket knife on him at all times. This man grew up on a bad neighborhood and absolutely knows how to defend himself, he can be intimidating when he wants to be and will pose a threat if needed. He's fucking terrifying when genuinely mad. Just cause he looks harmless doesn't mean he is, darling.
That would be all!

October 7: Fireflies-I’m not entirely happy with this one but, here ya go!
Keith needed to go on a Blade mission and despite him trying to get someone else to take it on, he had no luck. He was loathe to leave Pidge at this juncture of their … relationship. Mostly because he was not sure what they were yet. He had gotten back to Earth about a month ago. There were many intergalactic talks and he found himself gravitating towards Pidge, as usual. At first, he was just trying not to get annoyed by all the diplomats around him. But quickly he found himself actively seeking her out. He’d look for her at the mess hall, time it so he walked past her house when she should be leaving for work. He also managed to get Cosmo to help. Let’s just say…Best Wing Man ever. He’d just pop in to wherever Pidge happened to be and bring her to him. Cosmo was definitely getting extra snacks!
So when he was pressured into leaving he ended up asking Pidge to come with. While she may have misunderstood his intentions and thought he just needed her expertise, he was not going to be the one to point that out. Instead he ignored his friends teasing and stoically figured he’d find the right time to lay it all out for her.
About a week later, Keith was feeling thwarted! The universe truly hated him. In frustration he decided to go out for a run to burn off some useless energy. After that he showered and consigned himself for bed. Maybe he should just take Lance’s advice and throw her against the wall and kiss her!
Knock, knock.
“Keith! C’mere!!! You gotta see this!”
Keith quickly sat up and moved to the door, swinging it open quickly. “You okay?” He looked her over, relaxing as he took in her unhurt figure.
“You gotta follow me! Let’s go?”
Keith smiles, “Yeah okay, let me grab some shoes…even though I’m supposed to be the boss.”
Pidge grins, “Yeah, yeah, let’s go! You’re going to thank me very soon. I guarantee it!”
Keith shoulder bumps her, “Well, if you’re wrong I’ll make you cook dinner for the rest of the trip!”
At that point Pidge doubled over, “Yeah I think that’s more of a punishment for you!”
Pidge murmurs, “Ta da!!!”, as she pushed the door open to leave the ship.
Keith blinks and turns slowly in wonder. “Are these fireflies?”
Pidge sighs, “No clue. I guess the space equivalent. Isn’t it great?”
Keith nods, “Yeah, it really is.”
They both walk a little further from the ship. As they look up in wonder, Keith wraps his arm around her and he relaxes as she leans into him. After some time, he looks down, “Katie?”
“Mmmmm.”
“Will you go out with me? Like on a date?”
He freezes feeling like his life is on the line, when he hears, “‘Bout time.”
Laughing he turns her slightly and leans down for their first kiss. Gods, he can’t get enough of this girl.
October 8: Fan Convention
“What…do… you… mean? Do you WANT to explain to me, how a hotel has no rooms when I have a RESERVATION!?” She knew her voice was getting louder by the second but what the hell???
“Miss, do you want to get your mom out here?”
Gritting her teeth, she growled, “No, unfortunately that’s not an option because I’m the damn adult in this fucked up situation. In fact, I paid for the reservation on StayANite.com and have the receipt as proof. What. Is. The. Problem.”
“Oh, well, those third party sites are not guaranteed. You must really read the fine print, so I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”
Pidge knew she was going to lose it. Her eye was twitching and she felt like her vision had tunneled to the woman standing in front of her. She wanted to hit her very very badly. She looked her over and figured she could easily take her.
That’s when the schmuck next to her muttered, “Chill, you can stay with me.”
“Oh, excuse me do YOU have a room? Cuz the Bigfoot convention apparently got food poisoning so things aren’t going so well here.”
Keith grinned, “No, I’m pretty sure my room is trash as well. But, I just so happen to travel with my phone and while you were trying to get arrested by cussing out the poor hotel work here, I looked up a few things. There’s a campground not too far away. We could hit a Walmart and expense the shit out of tonight. Let’s live dangerously.”
Pidge sighs, “Keith, “
“Katie. Our presentation is over. There’s no rush or prize to get back. Let’s take the untraveled road….you know you want to. And, crazy enough, I want to. With you.”
Fuck. Looks like she’s camping tonight.

The Day-Shift:
Tumblr media
Trigger Warnings: Swearing, Light Harassment, Fighting, Drinking, Sex, Mentions of Blood, Gore, etc. **The italicized portion contains Explicit/18+ Content. If you are a minor, I suggest skipping over that part. Thank you.**
Word Count: 3,730
Characters: Thomas Shelby x Female!Reader
Requested: Yes 
Requested by: Anon | Request can be seen Here |
Summary: Y/N is a nurse at the hospital Michael is recuperating at, and has been a nuisance ever since the ordeal with the Italians. After a particularly snarky encounter with the young blinder, Y/N warns Thomas of his cousins antics, who later asks her out for a drink to ease both their nerves, ending in a romantic night for the lead member and a possible new relationship to form.
Tumblr media
“Will I be discharged soon? The Shelby’s need me back.” Michael asked, the gunshot wound still aching as he spoke.
“No.” Y/N said with an annoyed expression. Inspecting the wound as she put a new bandage over it, Michael wincing as she did so.
“Right, well I guess you’ll have to talk to Thomas then. Good luck Y/N.” Michael said, angrily pulling his shirt back on and leaning against the rough pillows on his hospital bed.
“It’s just our policy Michael. I’d hate to have a patient bleeding out on the floor. I just mopped.” She said, discarding the old bandages.
“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out aye?” He said, watching her with a frustrated look on his face. His nerves still reeling over the surprise visit from Luca Changretta shoving a gun in his face hours before.
He knew he had to get out, and soon if he wanted to help his mother and to try to mend things with the others, at least to some degree.
Down the hall at the reception desk, Thomas walked in, quickly removing his cap before stopping at the desk.
“Hello Mr. Shelby. Here to see Michael?” Y/N asked, finishing her report.
“Yes. Is he able to have visitors at the moment?” He asked.
“Yes, but I’d tread carefully. He’s a bit cranky today. Wasn’t very pleasant earlier...told me to not let the door hit me on my way out.” She said with a smirk, his blue gaze making her breath catch in her throat.
“Well, I’ll apologize on his behalf since he’s not man enough to. You’re just doing your job, love.” He said, a slight smirk forming on his face.
“Thank you, Mr. Shelby.” She said.
“Call me Tommy.” He said, licking his lips before placing a cigarette in his mouth.
Y/N reached her hand out to stop him, the lighter unable to be flicked with her hand over it.
“No smoking in here, sorry Tommy.” She said, a stickler for the rules, at least when it came to her shifts at the hospital.
“If you say so.” He said, a small sigh escaping his lips before he put the lighter and cigarette back in his coat.
“Good luck, Tommy.” She said, a small smirk on her lips.
He nodded before reluctantly walking to the room, not bothering to knock on the door.
“What’re you doing here Tommy.” Michael stated, still frustrated.
“Just checking on ya. You’ve been giving the nurse a hard time aye?” He said, a cold look in his eyes as he remembered Michael’s wrong-doings before the Italians shot him.
“Just asked her if I could go home, she said no of course. Said she didn’t want a patient bleeding out cuz she just mopped. Stupid really.” He said, sneaking a cigarette from under his pillow.
“You can’t have that right now Michael. At least not until you’re healed more.” He said.
“Oh fuck off Tom. I can do what I want in here. What...did she tell you there’s no smoking?” He asked.
“Aye she did. She’s just following protocol.” He said.
“I don’t care. Just leave me will ya? I can deal with her later.” He said, lighting the cigarette.
Thomas sighed in frustration at the young man, unable to understand why except that he was tired of being cooped up in the small, white room.
“I’ll have your mother come by later. I suggest you show the woman who helped save you some respect.” He said, walking out of the room.
“I told ya. He’s been one hell of a patient aye?” Y/N asked, closing the medical book on her desk.
“Mhmm. Say, have you seen anyone in here besides me today?” He asked.
“No, I started my shift only and hour ago.” She said.
“How long does it go till?” He asked.
“Uhm, ‘round five hours. Won’t be out till at least six if all the patients fucking behave.” She said.
“That’s a new one, I’ve seen ya every day for the two weeks and you’re cussing now. Blinders are rubbing off on ya.” He said.
“I knew that’s what it was. It’s contagious.” She said, chuckling slightly.
“Well how about I pick you up ‘round then aye? I can take you for a drink. I think you’ve earned it after dealing with my fucking cousin of all people.” He said.
“You’re joking...” She said, never thinking Thomas Shelby would ever ask her - a day-shift nurse - out for a drink.
“Am I’m laughing?” He asked, a small smirk on his face.
Y/N looked at the clock nearby, the hands ticking down ever so slowly.
“I’d love to. I’ll be counting down the hours.” She said, grinning.
“Alright. I’ll see you then, miss.” He said.
“Aye Tommy?” She called out before he walked off too far.
“Call me Y/N.” She said.
“Right...I’ll see you later miss Y/N.” He said, making it a point to pull out a cigarette and lighting it just as he walked out the door, leaving Y/N chuckling to herself.
The hours dragged on, Y/N dealing with one rude patient after another. One screaming at her and one getting blood all over her uniform during a grueling emergency surgery.
“Jesus. You’ve been through hell aye?” A voice sounded from the hallway as Y/N neared her desk for the last time that night.
“Oh! Uh...hi Tommy. Fucking startled me ya know.” She said, swiping a strand of hair out of her face as she gathered her things.
“I’m going to get out of all this mess and then I’ll be ready to go. You can wait in the lobby if you’d like.” She said, looking at the gangster leaning against the wall, staring at Michael’s door with an empty expression.
“Alright.” He said, walking out to the old rickety chairs outside the main reception area.
She scurried to the nurses changing room and put on the only clothes she had, a black dress and cardigan with worn, black heels.
She washed the dried blood off her hands and face and hastily applied a small amount of lipstick, eyeliner, and mascara, nothing too extravagant given her circumstances.
With a nervous sigh, she looked in the mirror one last time, wrestling with her hair a bit to make it at least somewhat presentable for wherever he was taking her.
“That wasn’t long. You look great, Y/N.” He said, putting down a random book that was sitting on one of the old side tables.
“Thank you! I uh, didn’t have much to work with back there but it’s better than being covered in blood aye?” She said, wrapping her coat tightly around her as she braced for the cold night air that was sure to slither its way through their bones.
“Aye, I guess that’s true.” He said, thinking about how he’d shown up to numerous places covered in blood, not really taking it into account before.
“So, Tommy Shelby. Where in the world are we going?” She asked, looking at him. The streetlights shooting by as he drove down the many dark streets of Birmingham.
“Well, there’s not many I like going to except for the Garrison. You heard of it?” He asked.
“Yeah, been a couple times with friends. It’s fun...most times.” She said, cringing at past drunk memories.
Thomas looked at her as the smirk spread across her features, her eyes wrinkling with the movement as they continued their drive to the pub.
“Here we are.” He said, getting out and quickly helping her down from the tall, black car. The metal hood shining in the moonlight as the noise from the pub made its way through the streets.
The noise grew as they walked in, the smell of booze filling the air as they made their way to the bar.
“Hiya Mr. Shelby. What can I get for you and the lucky lady?” The bartender asked cheerfully.
“The usual for me. What about you love?” He asked, her mind racing with trying to decide on something.
“I’ll just have what he’s having? And a gin please.” She said.
“You like whiskey?” He asked with a smirk.
“Yeah. Only drink it on bad nights usually. Takes the pain away.” She said.
“Pain of what?” He asked as the bartender sat a whole bottle down along with two shot glasses and her gin.
Tommy nodded at the bartender as she spoke.
“A lot of things. I see a lot of people in bad shape all time. Kind of haunts ya you know? And dealing with patients like your cousin aren’t much better. Pain in my ass really.” She said, chuckling and taking a nervous sip of her gin.
“Aye, that he is. I told him to lay off though. You helped save him after all. It’s the least he could do.” He said, pouring them both a shot.
“So are we splitting the bill or? I don’t mind.” She said.
“Nah, I get the drinks for free. That includes yours.” He said.
“Oh...” she said, taking a swig of her gin again, the clear liquid burning like fire on the way down.
“I make gin.” He said, changing the subject.
“Oh really? Is it good?” She asked.
“Personally I think it is, some people prefer it...not as sweet though. What do you think of it?” He asked.
“Wait, this is yours?” She asked, downing the last of it slowly, trying to form a decent opinion as it burned down her throat.
“Hmm, well...” she said, turning her nose up, jokingly.
“I’m kidding. You should’ve seen your face, love...It’s good though. I don’t think it’s too sweet...It’s just right.” She said, looking up at him as he downed his now third shot.
“You drinking that whole bottle?” She asked.
He shook his head and lit a cigarette, pouring her another after she downed the first one.
“Not unless you help me. Maybe then I’ll make it back to the house.” He said.
“You live ‘round here?” She asked.
“Not anymore. Up at Arrow House.” He said, blowing a puff of smoke away from her.
“Jesus. I don’t want to know what that cost, but I’m sure you and your blinders could afford those things. Is it nice?” She asked, slightly regretting the rapid pace she downed the shots in.
“It’s grand. More so in the sense it’s empty. Lots of rooms with no life in them really. My son Charlie’s there but that’s it besides the nanny and the maids.” He said.
“You have a whole crew then. I’m impressed.” She said.
“Would you like to go there?” He asked.
“Sure. But...” she said, pouring herself a shot of the whiskey.
“Let’s finish this first, can’t let a good thing go to waste aye?” She said, knocking back a shot. Her head slowly turning fuzzy as she hadn’t drank in a few months.
As she put the bottle down, a drunken man came up behind her suddenly, an ugly smile on his face as he grasped at her bum.
She quickly turned around, backing up towards Tommy.
“Get your fucking hands off me you bastard! Go on, go!” She yelled, shoving the already unstable man until he stumbled back. The liquor slowly getting to her as she watched the scene unfold.
Thomas moved her behind him as she watched him unbutton his sleeves, the act causing her to bite her lip curiously as she watched his posture change. The drunken man getting up and slurring his words in a drunken rage as he went to punch him. Tommy blocked the shaky punch and landed one on the mans nose as he stumbled back, blood erupting from the mans nose and also from Tommy’s hands from the sharp impact. The man, with practically more booze than blood in his system came at him again, this time landing a hit to his cheek causing a gash to form. As the brawl ensued, she watched tipsily as a crowd gathered around them both, egging on the blinder who practically owned half of Birmingham at that point.
“You bastard! You broke me nose!” The man yelled, finally noticing the damage done.
“Yeah well you touched my girl so I’d say we’re even. Now go on before I kill ya.” He said in a low voice, his cheek bleeding as he spoke.
“Y-you’ll pay for this. I swear it!” The man said angrily as he pushed his way through the pub and out the door, nearly stumbling as he walked onto the cold cobblestone streets.
“You alright Y/N?” Thomas asked as he turned around, wiping the blood on a towel the bartender already had ready for him.
“I-I’m fine.” She said, going back to the bar and pouring herself another shot, her nerves finally calming down after wanting to beat the man up herself, knowing she could have if only she’d tried harder.
“I think he had concrete for a nose.” He said, she could see the way his skin spilt around his worn knuckles, the blood snaking it’s way down his arm as he clutched the bottle of whiskey.
“Sorry you had to see that.” He said, knocking a shot back and then pulling out another cigarette, a frustrated sigh coming from his lips as the flames from the lighter ignited the thin roll of paper.
“Don’t be sorry. You did a good thing. I’m just mad I couldn’t punch him myself.” She said smirking, trying to lighten the mood as the atmosphere around them returned to normal.
He smirked at that, causing the blood to trickle down his face more as she watched.
“Here. This’ll hurt but it’ll help for now.” She said, turning the bottle neck-down so some it would pour onto the towel. As she leaned in to dab it on his cut cheek, his eyes scanned her face. She was halfway focused due to the alcohol in her system but still more calm than others in the past. He tried not to wince as she applied light pressure, not wanting to hurt him.
“How about we finish this bottle and head out?” He asked.
“Sounds like a plan.” She said, clinking her shot glass with his after setting the bloody towel down.
They both drank until the bottle ran dry, Y/N’s head feeling light and slightly like it was spinning as she made her way to the car. Thomas on the other hand seemed a bit less un-phased, having drunken more in that one week than she had in months.
“Did...did I say thank you? I really should’ve said thank you. That was brave. You just....cracked him right in the nose.” She said drunkenly as she made a punching gesture with her fist.
Thomas chuckled as he drove them to his house, the cool night air slowly sobering them up as they set out for the seemingly long drive to the large manor in the countryside.
“Tommy?” She asked, her eyes landing on him as the moonlight shined through the windows of the car, only his silhouette visible as he spoke.
“Yeah love?”
“Out of all the women...why me? Why’d you decide to go out with a nurse?” She said, laughing at herself slightly. The world slowly not spinning as much as they neared the house.
Thomas was silent for a moment, trying to choose his words carefully since he’d been so reckless with past suitors. He couldn’t stand another heartbreak and so he decided to think a bit more cautiously, for once.
Tommy sighed as he pulled up to the manor, his door creaking as he closed it and helped her out.
“I just happen to like you. You seem...kind. At least when a drunk isn’t trying to put the moves on ya” He said, leading her into the house, the rooms eerily empty as everyone was asleep.
“I see. Well Tommy, if it’s any consolation, I uh may just happen to like you as well. I don’t really care about what they say you know.” She said, fiddling with the buttons on her coat as he helped her take it off.
“And what do they say, Y/N?” He asked, his hand going to hers as he led her around the house quietly.
“They say you’re a drug dealing gangster who kills for fun.” She said smirking.
“They’re only half right, love.” He said, stopping just outside his bedroom.
“How so?” She asked, looking into his eyes in the dimly lit hall.
“I kill for business. Not for fun.” He said, gently caressing her cheek before he brought his lips to hers.
She broke away after a moment, looking at the cut on his cheek.
“I don’t want to hurt you, you need stitches you know.” She said, smirking up at him.
He sighed and led her into the grand bedroom, the luxurious bathroom located just near the room as they walked towards it.
Thomas turned on the light, illuminating the space as he rummaged around for alcohol and his small sewing kit, which saved him more often than not.
“I usually do this myself but I’m sure you’re better at this love.” He said, sitting on the counter as she stood between his legs, expertly threading the needle as she inspected it.
“This is going to hurt, I’m just being honest with you.” She said, forgoing her usual bedside manners.
“Can’t be worse than what I’ve done to myself aye? You won’t leave a huge scar like I would.” He said, looking at her as she started her work. The needle stinging as she quickly stitched him up.
“Scar a handsome face like yours? I could never.” She said, with a smirk as she tied off the stitch and clipped it, dabbing a bit of the alcohol on it to clean it once more. Before he could move, she took his hand gently in hers, dabbing the blood off his hand and running the alcohol over his knuckles as he sat there, a hiss of pain escaping his mouth at the unexpected burn.
“That was worse.” He said.
“I know. It’s never fun treating busted knuckles. I’d suggest maybe not punching anyone in the next couple of days...if you can manage.” She said, bandaging them up.
“For you, I’ll try not to. Now...” He trailed off, his eyes roaming over her.
“What?” She asked, looking at him as she caught him staring.
“Where were we?” He asked, his hand gently holding hers as she stood closer.
**Explicit/18+ Content Ahead. Please skip over the italicized portion if you are under 18, thank you!**
“Oh....right...” she said smirking, bringing her lips gently to his as his hands found their way to her hips, pulling her towards him. Their kiss grew heated as more time passed, his hand stinging as he snaked it through her hair, bringing her closer to him as he broke from her lips and sucked light bruises onto her neck, eliciting a soft moan from her lips.
Their hands wandered over each other, pulling at what clothing remained between them as Thomas led her to the bed. Her smooth skin feeling like silk under his rough fingertips.
Y/N giggled as he laid her on the bed, kissing his way down her neck and chest until he got to her core. His head resting perfectly between her legs as he devoured her, the feeling indescribable as she clutched the expensive sheets beneath her. Her insides soon turning to a knot as she felt her orgasm coming on, her hands finding their way to his head as she grasped his hair tightly, feeling her hips grinding on him as he brought her over the edge, her moans filling the room as she came undone on his lips. As he lifted his head up, he hovered over her, kissing his way up to her lips as she tasted herself on him. Slowly urging her hand down to take hold of him, already hard and yearning to be inside her.
“You sure?” He asked, a low moan escaping his lips as she pumped him. With a quick nod she aligned him with her entrance, wanting nothing more than to close the gap between them. She gasped lightly at the sensation, the pressure of him filling her up as he began thrusting his hips into her. The familiar feeling washing over her again minutes later, tightening around him as she moaned his name. The dim lighting making it harder to see as they continued, making the sensation all the more heightened as his thrusts quickened, and a low moan came from his lips again.
In a swift movement, he let her get on top, riding him as he watched from under her. Her hands scratching down his chest as her body tensed around him, grinding herself down harder and faster as she came once more. Her scratches leaving slight red streaks down his chest as she came down from her high.
Thomas sat up slightly as she rode him slowly once more, his hips meeting hers as she bounced on his cock. His breathing a bit ragged as he came closer. His thrusts getting slower with every minute. As she came close once more, Thomas let out a moan as he came undone, pulling her closer to him as he did so, her walls clenching around him as she moaned in his ear. Their breathing both leveling out as they lied next to each other, sleep finally invading their bones as they lay tangled in each other’s embrace.
“You don’t want me to leave do you?” She asked after a while, stealing Thomas’ cigarette from his mouth as she took a drag from it.
“I’d quite like it if ya stayed actually. Why? Do you want to?” He asked, watching the smoke escape her lips.
“No, I just thought you’d want me to. Didn’t think you’d want anything more after this.” She said.
“What if I do want something more aye?” He asked.
She smiled and thought for a moment before kissing him.
“Then you’ll have to be more careful Tommy Shelby. Can’t have you being hurt everyday. The hospital is full as it is.” She said.
Thomas chuckled as he looked down at her, her eyes lighting up at his smile.
“I’ll try, but I’m not making any promises.” He said, kissing her once more before they decided to go to bed for the night, the hope for a new relationship ever so looming on the horizon.

GF - How A Star Is Born ch.VIII
A Hercules AU, founded by @evaroze, whom this fic is a gift for. I hope y’all like it!
ch.VII - ch.IX
AO3 link
~~~~~~~~~~
A year after Dipper’s first victory and it felt like Gideon had died a thousand deaths.
Dipper became the most famous hero in all of Greece. He defeated every single monster or villain he had come up against, from angry warthogs that he served to the king on a grill, to wicked shapeshifters, to mad ex-girlfriends of Stan’s. No foe could stand against this hero in any way, shape, or form, and unfortunately this was very bad news for Gideon and Bill.
Bill left his minion alone to smoke and recover from being burned alive, shaking with red anger as he watched the fallen god press his hands into concrete with his teacher by his side, smiling proudly. “I can’t believe this! How is that little twerp still alive?!”
“W-W-We still have time…” Gideon whimpered, curled up and lying on his side.
“I’ve got twenty-four hours to get rid of this bozo!” Bill screamed as he towered over his slave. “The scheme I’ve been setting up for thousands of years is going up in smoke thanks to you! And all you can say is WE’VE STILL GOT TIME?!” And Bill snapped his fingers once more and Gideon was engulfed in flames, crying and yelling in unbearable pain.
Pacifica, with her back to the chaos, was smiling at the hero and enjoying the show all around her. “Tough luck, looks like Dippin’ Dots is hitting every curve you throw at him.”
Bill’s red instantly went away as he stared at the young woman before him. His eyes squinted happily and he floated to her side. “Hm, maybe I haven’t been throwing the right curves at him…”
“Don’t even go there.”
“See, Llama, he’s gotta have a weakness, everybody’s got one. We just need to find out Pinetree’s.”
“I totally did my part,” Pacifica scoffed. “Make Marshmallow over there do it.”
“He couldn’t handle him as an infant.” Bill sneered. “I need someone who can… handle him as a man.”
“Look, I’ve sworn off man-handling.” Pacifica snapped and walked away.
“Well, hey that’s good!” Bill laughed, making the young woman stop. “Cuz that’s what gotcha into this jam in the first place, isn’t it? You sold your soul to me to save your father’s life. And how did the guy thank you? By throwing you out when no one wanted to marry you and give dowry? He hurt you real bad, didn’t he? It hurt that no one wants the bratty little Llama, didn't it?”
“I get it, I learned my lesson, okay?” Pacifica croaked as she held her forehead.
“Hey, hey,” Bill cooed and placed a friendly hand on either one of her shoulders. “I tell you what, since I feel sorry for you, I’ll make you a new offer. You give me the key to taking down Wonderboy, and I’ll give you the thing you want more than anything in the whole Multiverse: your freedom.”
Pacifica’s eyes widened and her pupils shrunk as her mouth hung open.
~~~~~~~~~~
Through the fast-pacing, slightly-overwhelming year, the Temple of the Gods became Dipper’s sanctuary. At night, he would sneak away from prying eyes and visit his family, feeling all of his stress and pressure melt away.
Now not only bound to a small journal, Dipper and Mabel could talk more freely. Even more so now that Dipper funded a statue of the young muse to be put in the temple, and now a Mabel made of stone could hug him and punch his shoulder and talk and skip around him, even if she couldn’t feel his warmth or if she risked breaking bones, but he had god-like strength, so who cares? Their bond became even stronger as they swapped stories and got to know each other very well. Many times Mabel would happily sit criss-cross and listen and watch as her twin brother retold his victories to her.
This evening, however, Dipper seemed very tired. He sat at the foot of the huge statue of the Ruler of the Gods and Mabel looked down at him softly before sitting next to him in her statued-form. “Hey, what’s the matter?”
Dipper blinked and shook his head. “N-Nothing!”
Mabel smiled cockily and poked his ribs to lightly tickle him. “C’mon, you can’t hide anything from me. What’s up?”
The young hero sighed and leaned back with his hands on the steps behind him. “It’s just… I’m the most famous person of all in Greece, right?”
“Right.”
“And I’ve beaten every monster I’ve met, right?”
“Right.”
“I’m even an action-figure.” Dipper added as he threw his hands up in the air.
“Yeah,” Mabel said slowly. “So?”
Dipper looked at his long-lost sister and asked her heavily, “So why am I not a god?”
Mabel’s eyes widened in realization before she looked down at her long dress. “Oh.”
“To rejoin the gods, I gotta become a true hero.” Dipper restated. “What, am I missing something? Did I do something wrong?”
“No,” Mabel said quickly and patted his shoulder reassuringly. “You’ve been doing great! And hey, you’ve only been at it for, what, a year? You’re just… not there yet. Remember, there’s a difference between being a hero and a true hero, but you’ll get there one day, I know you will.”
Dipper smiled at her and said, “Thanks, Mabel. You’re right. I just have to be patient.”
“Besides, you’ve got plenty of time.” Mabel reminded him with a giggle. “It’s not like you’re gonna die soon or something.”
Dipper laughed alongside her, though he couldn’t quite shake the desire that he would rather be home sooner or later.
~~~~~~~~~~
Dipper walked back to his very large house after going through the lush garden. He had tried not to have a home so big but he had earned so much gold that even after donating to the orphanage he grew up in and many other causes like feeding the poor and providing housing for the homeless, he still had more money than he knew what to do with and Stan seemed to really enjoy living in the lap of luxury, so they met halfway and had a very nice house that was big but not so big that they required five maids.
Dipper entered his home and could see candlelight coming from down the hall. The old man must still be awake. The young hero smiled and moved down the hall to tease his teacher, but as he turned a corner, he was met with something that scared him much more than any monster.
“STAN!” Dipper dashed to him and was on his knees, the old man lying on the cold floor with a dripping candle by his side, a miracle the house hadn’t been caught on fire thanks to being made of stone. “Stan, can you hear me?!”
Dipper helped the unconscious man sit up to get a good look at him. He appeared more dead than alive, but the hero refused to believe it. He scooped the old man up in his arms and ran as fast as he could to the doctor, praying to the gods that Stan would be okay.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mabel was humming to herself as she emerged from her room, having finished meditating and projecting herself onto a statue to talk to her brother. She grew worrisome, however, when she saw her great-uncle sitting at the front steps of the temple, holding his face, covering his eyes, and breathing heavily, like he was struggling with his emotions.
“Grunkle Ford,” Mabel said softly as she hurried to his side and put kind hands on his shoulders. “What’s the matter?”
He looked up at his niece with heavy, shining eyes that refused to cry. “It’s Stanley. He’s running out of time.”
~~~~~~~~~~
“These things happen,” A doctor calmly explained. “As a person ages their bodies start to fail them gradually over time. From what we can tell, Stan had a heart attack. Slight damage to the heart, nothing extremely life-threatening, but a good sign that his time is running out. I wouldn’t quite count the days yet, but I would also advise you value your time with him while you can. I’m so sorry.”
Dipper was now left alone to dwell on the news. He knew Stan wasn’t exactly young, but he always seemed unstoppable, so lively, that the idea of him dying was scary and already made the young hero very mournful. He made himself get up from his stool in the hallway to enter the door his teacher was in, but he was surprised to find Stan standing up and slipping on his cloak. “There you are, let’s blow this joint already.”
“Stan!” Dipper scolded. “What are you doing out of bed?!”
“What, I’m fine now, kid.” Stan waved Dipper’s worries away casually. “Relax. Let’s just go home, I got a bottle of expired grape juice waiting for me.”
“Stan, this is serious!”
“Look, I don’t blame you for being worried, but I need you to trust me on this.” Stan said firmly with kind brown eyes, giving Dipper a firm pat on the shoulder. “I’m fine, okay?”
“But…” Dipper allowed Stan to lead the way out of the room and throughout the hospital for the quiet night. “But… you’re dying.”
“In a way we all are, kid.”
“But…”
“Dipper, listen to me.” Stan interrupted and gave the young hero a stern look as they walked down the street of Thebes. “I’m an old man, I’ve lived a very long life. I’ve known I was dying for a long time, but none of that matters to me. All that matters is that you become a true hero and get to be with your family, whether I get to see it or not.”
“But… I want you to see it.” Dipper sighed. He was very tired. He could feel so much on his shoulders, he always felt like the entire world was on his shoulders, and as they days wore on it was getting harder to ignore. He sat at a large fountain in town-square and looked at his mentor heavily. “I know you won’t be around forever, but… you’re like family to me, Stan. I want you to see me become a true hero. I want to make you proud. I want you to see me in the stars like you want.”
“Hey hey,” Stan sat next to him slowly and patted his back. “Way to get all sappy on me, hero. And where’s all this coming from? I am proud of you. I’ve always been proud of you. Since day one, I’ve been so proud of you and happy I got to teach you. I know you’ll make it someday, I know you’ll be up in the stars and be with your sister, and that’s good enough for me.”
Dipper smiled sadly, a bit overwhelmed but still appreciative. “Still, I… Am I doing something wrong? I thought I’d be a true hero by now? What more can I do?”
“Being a true hero is something you gotta discover for yourself.” Stan said and poked at Dipper’s strong chest. “You gotta look inside all this squishy stuff. Dig a little deeper. But you got something I’ve never seen in anybody, and I know that’s gonna make you into a god someday, just you wait and see.”
Dipper still couldn’t shake the feeling like he didn’t want to wait for someday to come, but he still smiled and thanked Stan for his words.
~~~~~~~~~~
Miraculously, despite his lifeline being short, Stan was just as energetic and lively as always the next day. Dipper tried to talk him into resting, but the old man refused and was there for all of Dipper’s obligations. Stan was right by his side for the opening of the newest gym, he happily partake in lunch with Dipper and the mayor of Thebes, and in the afternoon they went home to change into nicer togas for a modeling show.
Stan said something about a quick nap and went to his room to snooze the warm afternoon away. Dipper chuckled and was nearly scared to death when a soothing voice from beside a pillar said, “Oh this is what heroes do on their days off?”
Dipper grinned and greeted her warmly. It had been a long time since he had last seen her. “Wow, Pacifica! It’s great to see you again, I… I missed you.”
Pacifica approached slowly and smiled slyly at him. “Thanks, Dippin’ Dots. Man, you look good, but rough. When was the last time you had a break?”
“Oh, I rest, Stan…”
“You know I never really thanked you for saving my life, did I?” Pacifica interrupted. “How about dinner?”
As much as a date with such a beautiful girl made Dipper want to do a backflip, his immediate concern was leaving Stan alone for too long. “Oh, I dunno, Stan’s got the day booked and…”
“He’ll be okay, he’s taking a nap, isn’t he?” Pacifica asked. “He can rest, you can get some fresh air and some food. Come on, my treat.”
Dipper smiled sheepishly and she put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed, baby blue eyes sparkling at him like a beautiful spring sky. Swallowing, the young smitten hero nodded. “Okay, sure.”

hey!! can i request a Polnareff x Reader where it’s basically set after the events of Stardust Crusaders where they go their separate ways and Polnareff goes to back to France but the reader decides to go with him cuz it’s been her dream to go to France and now they’re just a lovey dovey couple doing romantic things that deserve a happy ending after the events in egypt. (ik in pt 5 he said he travelled europe in search of the arrows but i just wanna see my french man all goofy w/ a happy ending)
hi, thanks so much for the request!! i am so happy my first request is a polnareff one lmao. this is such a cute idea! and i agree- polnareff deserves a nice relaxing life on the french countryside with the love of his life more than anything!
perfection (polnareff x reader)
"So... You're sure about this, right?"
"Yes! God, how many times do I have to tell you?"
That had been three months ago, after you and the other crusaders had defeated Dio. You stood at the airport, one hand securely holding your luggage and the other held tightly in Polnareff's. "I don't have any family, so we'll be on our own. It's quiet where I'm from."
"It's not gonna be quiet if I'm there," you said, and he laughed a little. "I'll brighten up your little neighborhood in no time, trust me."
"I'm glad." He leaned down and kissed your forehead, and despite being relatively new, the gesture felt like the most familiar, comfortable thing in the world. "Our plane'll be leaving soon, (Y/N). You ready?"
You nodded, setting your luggage down on the ground and gently letting go of Polnareff's hand. "One second." You walked over to Joseph and Jotaro, who were getting ready for their own flight a few feet away, and pulled them both into a hug. "Bye, guys," you murmured into Jotaro's shoulder, grinning. "I'll see you around."
You all pulled back and took in each other's expressions. "Good luck with him," Joseph said, gesturing to Polnareff. "He can be a real pain in the ass."
Jotaro cracked a smile. "But so can she, so I think they'll be alright." You all laughed and, after one more hug, said goodbye.
Polnareff handed you your bag when you got back. "So, are you excited?" you asked, grinning up at him as you walked. "I am. I'm really happy."
Never one for suppressing his emotions, Polnareff smiled widely down at you and again took your hand in his. "I can't even describe how happy I am. My heart is so full." You felt your face heat up and you sighed, raising his hand and kissing it gently. "I promise I'll make you happy."
You had no doubt that he would fulfill that promise.
---
"Shit! Ah, uh... Jean, on a scale of one to ten, how important is this mug to you?"
Three months later and you've settled into domestic life wonderfully. Polnareff's hometown really isn't much of a town - every house in the area is a five minute drive away - but it doesn't bother you one bit. The gorgeous scenery and the peace of total silence is a welcome change, especially after what you've both been through.
There had been a couple bumps in the road during the first month; you'd taken your relationship pretty quickly, to be fair, so there was a bit of awkwardness and readjusting as you learned to live with each other. Still, though, you both make each other so happy that those problems sorted themselves out pretty quickly.
And now you're here, holding half of a bright red coffee mug while the other half lies shattered on the ground. Polnareff pokes his head in from the other room and you meet his gaze, smiling sheepishly. "Sorry."
He looks from you to the smashed mug, and before you can get nervous, a grin splits across his face. "It was ugly anyways! And now we have an excuse to get a new one." He walks over to you with long strides and crouches down, carefully picking up the shards. "We can get one in your favorite color, which is... Uh..." You watch him with raised eyebrows as he wracks his brain for a few moments. Finally, he tries a color, and to your surprise he gets it right! He smirks as he stands back up and tosses the mug in the trash. "We're on the same wavelength, ma cherie," he says with a laugh.
"I guess so. Definitely on the right track, at least." You grab a different mug and VERY carefully bring it over to the counter. As you pour your coffee, you watch Polnareff lean against the kitchen counter. His hair is nearly touching the ceiling; it's so funny how he dwarfs everything in his own home.
"I didn't know you drink coffee," he comments.
"I haven't been able to sleep for the past two months so I figured I probably shouldn't," you answer as you spoon sugar into your cup. "This week has been pretty good sleep-wise so I'm bringing it back!" You take an obnoxious sip and burn the hell out of your tongue. Polnareff laughs loudly as you swear, but you just set the mug down and laugh a little with him. "The coffee doesn't agree with me."
"Apparently not." He walks over to you and wraps his arms around you, resting his chin on the top of your head. Part of you hates the fact that he's tall enough to do this, but the other half absolutely loves it. "Are you okay?" he asks softly, and you feel your heart skip as he takes your hands in his.
"Yeah, it's fine," you breathe, smiling. "It'll take more than a cup of coffee to get me."
"I know." He presses a kiss to the top of your head and sighs. "Well I might as well start drinking coffee too, huh? I never used to but I can try."
You smile as Polnareff walks over to the coffee maker and squints at it for a moment, as if judging by its appearance whether he would like it. "Jean, I'm not making you take up coffee drinking. You don't have to if you don't want to."
"But I want to try!" he declares, and he decides to steal a sip of yours. He picks it up and quickly drinks a minuscule amount; almost immediately his face scrunches up. You snort as he sets the cup down, grimacing. "Maybe it's not for me."
"It figures you wouldn't like something so bitter," you say, a cheeky grin making its way onto your face. "You're just too sweet!" He groans loudly with a huge smile on his face as you wrap your arms around him. "I couldn't resist, sorry."
He sighs. "It's gonna take me a week to get over that one." You let go of him and sit down at the kitchen table with your coffee. "But I forgive you." You look down at the wooden table as you drink some more, while Polnareff looks through the cabinets for something to have for breakfast.
You haven't been sleeping very well for the past few months - ever since you got back from Egypt. Most nights you get a few hours, but sometimes you can't even bring yourself to close your eyes; whenever you do, you're plagued by images of the horrors you witnessed and the friends you lost. Kakyoin's strangled scream as he was killed plays almost constantly in your dreams, and the fact that Avdol hadn't even gotten a chance to say goodbye hurts more than anything. You shut your eyes and take a deep breath. Polnareff is going through the same thing, so you both spend a lot of time comforting each other, but it's still ridiculously hard. You're so, so, lucky that you have him, but not even he can keep you from falling into all those memories on some days. You clench your fists when you feel your eyes well up with tears; maybe this grief is never going to fade -
"Holy shit! When did you buy brownies?"
Polnareff's elated voice tears you from your thoughts, and you laugh loudly. He looks at you with wide, excited eyes. "Seriously! Did you know they're my favorite?"
"I know now."
"Let's make them," he says definitively.
You raise your eyebrows. "Jean, we haven't even had breakfast yet."
He looks from you to the brownies and back again. "...We could have brownies for breakfast...?"
God, you love him so much. With a laugh, you grab the box from him. "I'm not gonna argue with that." He grins and thanks you as you open up the box.
After a breakfast of slightly-burnt brownies, you and Polnareff spend the day around the house, fixing up the yard and rearranging some furniture. If someone had told you a month ago that you'd be living out this perfectly domestic life, you would've laughed out loud - but somehow, you found yourself in a cottage on the French countryside with the man you loved more than anyone in the world. Days just fly by, because you have so much fun being with him. It's honestly perfect.
Later in the day, you're in your bedroom reading when Polnareff steps into the room. He places his hands on your shoulders and leans down, kissing your cheek. "Hi," he murmurs.
You turn to face him and kiss him, wrapping your arm loosely around his torso. "Hey," you reply. "What's up?"
"I have a request, dear." He gently takes your hands and pulls you out of your chair with a gentle smile. "Put on the nicest outfit you have and meet me at the door."
You squint at him. "What's this about?"
He smiles. "It's a surprise!" You stare at him for a while longer; you know secrets only last about 30 seconds in Polnareff's brain. He finally relents, sighing and letting go of your hands. "I made a reservation at that restaurant you said you wanted to try."
"What?" You hug him tightly, grinning. "Thank you!"
"Of course." The softness of his voice makes you smile; he's just so sweet. "I figured since it's been three months of being together, we should celebrate!"
"Three months..." You lean back and look up at him, cracking a smile. "It's really been wonderful. I love being with you, Jean."
His eyes widen, and he slowly leans down and kisses your forehead. "Three perfect months with the perfect person," he murmurs.
He leaves to get ready, and you get ready yourself. Just thinking about all the wonderful gestures of love Polnareff showers you with makes you blush. Taking you to restaurants, showing you all the best parts of his hometown, the little hugs and kisses he gives you all throughout the day... He's truly a master of romance, that's for sure. He wins you over more and more every day.
You're ready to go, and you head for the door. Polnareff is waiting for you in a crisp button-down shirt and a nice pair of pants; he looks handsome every day but this is just ridiculous. When he sees you his eyes widen, and his mouth just barely turns up at the corners. He stares at you for a minute and then blinks, as if he's forgotten how to speak. "(Y/N), you're so beautiful," he says quietly, taking you in.
Your face flushes and you glance down, unable to hold his gaze. He takes a couple steps towards you and places his hand under your chin, guiding your face up to look at him. "I mean it," he tells you, and you know he does. His voice is so earnest and adoring and you feel your heart nearly burst from your chest. "I love you."
You stand on your toes and kiss him, wrapping your arms around his neck. As you part, you reach out and fix a strand of hair that had somehow fallen from its immaculate style. "I love you too, Jean," you say softly, as you briefly run your hand over his cheek. "Thank you for being with me."
He suddenly puts an abrupt end to the gentle moment by leaning in and giving you a loud kiss on the cheek. "The pleasure's all mine," he says with a warm laugh, and you snort, punching him in the arm. You can't imagine a life or a love that's better than this.

Summary: Jensen goes to therapy some more, and YN needs a hug. 
Warnings: sexual assault, cussing, police activity, panic attacks, therapy
“Therapy is good, actually. I mean, I don’t mind going. It’s hard though.” Jensen rolled over to face Danneel as she closed her book while under the sheets. “He gave me homework.” Jensen sighed. Danneel put her book away and turned over to watch his face. “I have to be near YN. Even if I don’t talk.  Doc wants me to show that I’m not going anywhere.”
“Ah.”
“Wish me luck,” Jensen sighed again.
“You can do it.”
—————-
Jensen tried to stay close but not too close over the next week. The two talked to each other, but their conversations were short. He had apologized but YN still tried to stay away.
“YN, do you have homework?” Danneel asked as YN walked through the door after work.
“Have I ever NOT done my homework?” YN rolled her eyes.  
“What-” Danneel turned to her.
“I’m sorry.  I had a long day.  Yes, I have homework.  I’ll do it after dinner.” 
__________
“Hey, YN! Wait up.  Can you cover Sophie’s shift tomo-” Jensen started.
“No. Busy.” YN continued on to the backroom without a look as Jensen was called away by a fan.  
_________
YN walked into the house and slowly shut the door. Eyes puffy, she shuffled to the stairs.
“YN?” Danneel pokes her head around the corner and stopped when she saw YN’s face. “Are you okay?” Danneel asked plainly.
“Saw school counselor today.”
“Ah. Let me know if you need a hug.” The older one smiled.
“Maybe later. Have homework. Thanks, Dee.” YN looked up to see Jensen walking toward her.  She bumped his shoulder as she walked toward the stairs.
“Really, YN?” Jensen growled.
“Jensen.” Danneel stopped him.  “Let her be.”
_________
“So how’s the YN thing going?” Doctor Brown settled in his chair in the office.  Jensen pulled a pillow into his chest.  
“She’s being a smartass.  Hates me.” He sighed.
“And what have you been doing in response?”
“Dee’s making me shut up.  It takes everything I have to stay quiet because she’s being an ass.  If I even walk past her, she stiffens.”
“Dee as in Danneel?”
“Yeah, sorry.  I call her that.” Jensen smiled.  “She keeps me in check.”
“I appreciate the way she thinks.  Your job right now is to stay near.  No arguments, got it?”
“But why?  She’s being stupid about this whole thing.” Jensen looked at the doctor.
“Because she has learned to keep everything to herself.  Her trauma has caused her to only trust what she knows.  YN naturally does not share emotions, right?” Jensen nodded. “She has a trusting relationship with a counselor that is a good influence.  In her mind, you were the smartass.  And you kind of were.” Doctor Brown shrugged his shoulders.  
“You’re taking her side?” Jensen moved the pillow back to the couch.
“I don’t take sides.  My job is to make you think. Reflect.”
“I don’t think I did anything wrong!”
“Did you go through something scary that still affects you?”
“Yeah.  Kind of.”
“Imagine how she feels.  She has been through so much already and then she sees a death and blames herself for a fire that ‘should have been her.’”
“Fine. Fine.  I get it.  Okay, yes, I messed up.”
“How?” The doctor made him process.
“Because I was discounting her work to feel better and work through what happened.”
“Anything else?”
“I shouldn’t have made fun of her.  It’s good to acknowledge what we went through.”
“So what should you do?”
“Something, cuz what I’m doing ain’t working.” Jensen rolled his eyes, discounting the idea.
“Mister Ackles… try again.” Doctor Brown corrected him.  
“Be a constant still.”
“Yep.” The counselor smiled.  “It’s going fine.  Trust the process.”
————-
“They arrested him.” Jensen waited for YN at school.  
“What?” YN stopped in front of him. “Kenyan?”
“Yeah. We have to go down to the PD.” Jensen wrapped his arm around her. “Dee’s gonna drive your car home, give me your keys.” He extended his hand. Blankly, she unzipped a backpack pocket and gave them to Jensen. “Let’s go.”
As they made their way to the police station, YN stared straight ahead.
“Yeah, that’s Kenyan,” YN pointed to number six in the police lineup. “That’s my ass of a half-brother.” She groaned and walked out of the room.
“Come here,” Jensen pulled her close.
“No,” she shoved him off of her. “Can we go home?”
Jensen looked to the detective.
“Yep. That’s all we needed you guys for.”
“You mean to ruin my life? All over again?” YN sneered at him and felt tears fall. Jensen put a hand on her shoulder, surprised by her reaction.
“Miss-“
“Let’s go, YN. Let’s get outta here.” Jensen guided her out. She wiped her tears and walked to Jensen’s truck.
—————-
“Go away, Jensen.” YN tried to move away from him as they entered the house.
“Just give me a hug and then you can go.  Come here.” He stopped in the foyer and opened his arms.
“Fine,” YN groaned.
“Good girl.” Jensen wrapped his arms around her lightly. He heard her sniff his shirt.
“Mhmm.”
“What?” Jensen looked down at her.
“Your cologne.” She smelled his shirt again. “Safe.”
Jensen felt YN relax.
“You feel safe?”
“Yeah,” she said into his plaid shirt.
“It’s okay to be upset.”
“No, it’s not. I had to- he-“ she hiccup-cried into him.
“Uh oh. What’s wrong?” He tightened his grip over her back and shoulders. Jensen felt her push away from him.
“Nevermind.” YN tried to run up the stairs, but he didn’t let go and pulled her toward him again.
“No, come here,” he said gently. “I can tell you need somebody right now. Relax,” Jensen whispered.
Danneel walked into the room and raised a brow at Jensen. He shook his head. She slowly rubbed YN’s back. YN turned to find Danneel behind her.
“It’s okay,” Danneel verified.
“Hey, it’s okay,” Jensen soothed.
“You don’t get it,” YN whispered.
Realizing this required a deeper conversation, the adults took her to the kitchen table.
“What do you mean?”
“Just- just let me think!” YN squirmed out of their touch. “You’re too close- and I can’t think,” she whispered. Danneel and Jensen backed away. “If I tell you, you can’t feel sorry for me,” YN took a deep breath.
“We never have,” Danneel softly smiled.
YN sat on the couch a few feet away from them.
“He hurt me, okay? He-“ she stopped.
“Kenyan? How?” Danneel stepped forward.
YN looked up to see Jensen’s jaw tighten.
“No, Jensen. I’m fine, please don’t get mad,” YN shriveled into herself. She saw his face muscles relax. “He… touched me.” YN looked away. She felt the air exit the room.  
“You know that wasn’t right, right?” Danneel didn’t miss a beat.  
“Dee, I am okay.  I promise.  I just don’t want to upset you guys.  I love you.”
Jensen silently exited.  YN’s eyes followed Jensen’s feet out of the room.  
“I didn’t mean to.”
“You didn’t upset him, sweetie.  He’s mad at Kenyan.” Danneel engulfed YN in a hug.
“Seeing him again today was hard.”
“I’m sure it was,” Danneel whispered.  They heard a loud pounding noise.  “Jensen.”
“He’s punching the bag,” YN said in return.  “I need to talk to him.” YN tried to stand up.  
“How are you…” Danneel trailed off.
“How am I okay?” Danneel nodded.  “Been through a lot.  And I’m not okay,” YN sighed.  “I just keep going.” YN skirted away from her foster mom and left the room.  She walked into the in-home gym.  “Jensen.  I’m fine,” YN said strongly.  
“I’m not,” Jensen said quietly as he used his bare hands to punch the bag.  
“Put gloves on.  You’ll kill your knuckles.”  Watching him punch out his pain in jeans, a flannel and his boots, she frowned.  “I know what you’re doing.  You’re just like Dean.  You punish yourself when something goes wrong that you have no control over.”
“No.  I am angry that he hurt you.  I WISH I could have been there to hurt him.”
“Stop punching the bag. Please.” YN barely spoke above a whisper. He glanced at her. Jensen saw her distraught, drawn face.  
“Come here,” Jensen stood up straight and looked at his bloody hands.  Wiping them on his shirt, he opened up his arms. “I’m not angry at you.”
YN walked into his arms,  
“I know.  You smell sweaty now,” she chuckled.
“Sorry.” He gave a laugh.
She backed away and sat down on the workout bench.  Jensen saw tears start to fall again.  
“I’m okay,” YN reiterated.  “Really.  I guess he is just the one thing that makes me weak.” YN put her head in her hands.
“You are probably the strongest person I know.  You are NOT weak.  YN LN is a hero in life.  I honestly don’t know how you’re not calloused to the world.”
“What does that mean?”  The girl looked up at him with a curious expression.
“As if you don’t care about others.  You could be emotionless, but you’re not.  I know you hold it in.  That’s what people do when they get hurt over and over again.  You did.  Your parents-”
“Jens, please don’t.  I get it,” she said plainly.  
“Sorry.  You know what I mean though.” He sat down next to her.  “Scootch,” he motioned with his hand for her to move over. YN did as asked so that he could have enough space next to her. “I see that you’re okay.  But it’s okay to be okay and still feel stuff.  Or not be okay either.  Just sayin’.”
YN leaned into him.  Jensen wrapped an arm around her.  
“Thanks.” He felt her smile into his chest.  “Go shower.  You stink,” YN’s smile grew wider.
“I punched the bag for five seconds!” He gasped at her accusation.  
“You’re also a dude.  Dudes sweat like crazy.”
“Fine.  But promise me-”
“I’ll give you a stupid hug next time, you ass,” YN smiled again.  “I’m sorry for being dumb and disrespectful.”
“I care about you.” Jensen said softly.
“I know that.”
“When I said that thing about therapy, I was wrong.  I don’t mind going, I’ve realized.  I can see why it works.  I understand now that you trust your counselor and I made fun of that.”
“Thank you, but you’re still a dumbass.” YN grinned.
“Language!” Danneel walked in with a happy expression of her own.  YN rolled her eyes at their sarcastic parenting techniques.
“Whatever.  I want pizza.  Who’s in?” YN looked to her foster parents.
__________
“We haven’t really talked about how you feel about what you went through with YN.  Although I do think you’ve made great progress with her.  Do you think you’re ready to talk about that?”
“I told you what happened already.” Jensen stood up and paced back and forth.  
“Jensen.”
Jensen turned to his therapist.  
“Don’t get lost in your head.  I’m not going to push you about it.  You can say no.”
“I’ve actually been having a lot of bad dreams lately. She gets kidnapped in front of me every time and I can’t protect her.” Jensen continued to walk the length of the room turning back and doing it again.
“Yeah?  That really sucks.’
‘Yeah.  I’ve actually been sleeping in a different bed because Dee wakes up when I startle myself awake.”
“Did she ask you to do that?”
“I don’t know.  Why?”
“Think.  It’s important,” the doctor pressed.  
“No, I don’t think so. “
“Go back to bed with her.  I think it might help to be near someone.” The doctor smiled.  “She can help calm you down.”
“I don’t want to bother her though.” Jensen sighed.
“Let her tell you if it bothers her.  She probably feels jipped that you are not trusting her with this, whether you think of it like that or not.”
“Oh,” Jensen looked to him.  “Hadn’t thought about it like that.  Yeah, I could do that.  I’ve been struggling a little bit.”
“Yeah? How so?”
“I’m doing better now that YN and I are getting along again, but I still get nervous and jumpy.  YN gets that way too, so she understands.  They don’t make me jumpy.  More like the TV with sudden noises or something like that.  When I’m on set, we have loud special effects and blanks.  I’ve noticed it’s increased since the whole thing happened.”
“Gotcha.” The doctor wrote on his notepad.
“When you do that, does that mean you’re keeping track of my crazy?” Jensen half-joked and stopped pacing.
“No.  I wrote ‘improving in processing.’  Nothing bad at all.  Don’t get used to me telling you my secrets though.” The doctor grinned.  Jensen sat back down.  
“Oh, that’s good.”
“It is.  Have you been having any other symptoms?”
“Of what?” Jensen asked.
“I don’t know.  Anxiousness?  Any unusual worrying other than bad dreams?”
“I have to check on YN throughout the night.  It’s almost an OCD thing.  I just can’t let anything happen to her again.”
“How often do you check on her?”
“Five or six times a night.” Jensen frowned.  
“Really impeeds your rest, I’m sure.  Have you learned or tried any calming techniques?”
“Everything I’ve tried is crap.” Jensen sighed and leaned back against the couch.
“Everything doesn’t work for everybody.  I have an idea.  Would you be willing to try it?”
“If I have to do some funky meditation or say something stupid, I ain’t doing it.”
“No, no.  Nothing like that.  My suggestion would be to spray your pillowcase with a cologne of your wife’s.  Does she wear perfume?”
“Yeah, it’s called apple-something.  Smells good.”
“Try it.  If her shampoo smells good, you could also ask her to shower before bed.  It could help you relax.”
“That’s not a bad idea.”
The doctor studied Jensen’s face, noting his withdrawn face all of a sudden.  
“Jensen?”
“I feel like I can’t breathe,” he answered Doctor Brown.
“Does this happen often?” He readjusted so that he was sitting right across from Jensen.  
“Sometimes,” Jensen answered.
“You’re probably having a panic attack.  You need to force yourself to relax.  It won’t get worse if you don’t let it. “  The doctor saw Jensen trying to concentrate.  “Tell me your top five favorite movies?”
“Umm, Top Gun… Tombstone…” his stare increased.
“Jensen,” the doctor snapped his fingers to get the man’s attention.
“Uh, MASH- no, that’s a TV show. “ He corrected himself.  “Caddyshack, Fight Club,  and Die Hard.”
“Good.  Breathe, Jensen.” The doctor watched Jensen’s body language.  
‘I feel like I need to cry.”
“It may help, depends on the person.”
Jensen couldn’t hold it in any longer.  He fell over onto the couch in tears. The doctor leaned away from him to give Jensen space.  He rocked himself until he was able to calm himself. When he quieted.  
“You are going to feel REALLY tired after this, okay?  Do you feel better?”
Jensen sat up and nodded.  
“Yes.”
“Have you ever had an attack like that?”  The doctor offered a tissue. Jensen took it and put it to his face.  
“No.  I haven’t cried like that before.  I- I don’t know what happened.”
“Just relax for a second.  You do not have any plans the rest of the evening.  Get home and lay low.”
“I’ve got to go do some-”
“I know.  Trust me.  Please.”
_________
“Hi,” Jensen walked in and greeted YN and Danneel.  He quickly ascended the stairs.  
“Uh oh,” Danneel moved the pillow from her lap to the couch.  “Guess it didn’t go so well.”

All I Want | Ilya Feddy
(A/N: I have to repost this cuz idk what happened but literally the entire writing just disappeared after I posted. good thing i write everything on google before i transfer it all to tumblr. i love being smart sometimes. anywaysss this is kinda based off the song All I Want by Olivia Rodrigo. its a a cute song and kinda hits home so why not use it as inspo!)
It’s been about a year and a half since you moved to L.A. to be with Natalie and David. You were truly living your best life. Kind of.
Working for David was insane. Every day was different, you had some of the best friends you could ask for, your boyfriend was perfect...on paper.
He did nice things for you. Like open doors, send you bouquets of flowers to your place, he even drops everything when you’re going through one of your days.
But he was lying to your face almost every weekend.
It was hard keeping a big secret when more than half the time it eats you alive and you can’t tell anyone about it. You knew if you did everything would turn to shit and you would be alone again.
You started thinking back to Chicago. Everything there was perfect, too. But all good things had to end.
Like your relationship with Ilya. He was perfect on paper and on screen. You knew nobody would compare to him but your love didn’t last. It was hard fighting for love that wasn’t being met halfway.
Your thoughts were interrupted with David telling you the news.
“I bought Ilya and Alex plane tickets to stay for the weekend,” He said causing Natalie to squeal from happiness as she missed her best friends.
You faked a smile, trying to convince everyone around you that you were happy with this. You were more excited to see Alex than Ilya. Sure Ilya’s been to L.A. countless times to visit, but you found yourself “busy” whenever he was he, clearly avoiding him.
“I’m gonna go pick them up in like an hour. If you could get the house cleaned a little that would be great,” David said as he retreated back to his room, probably to finish editing.
You could feel Natalie’s eyes burning holes into you. “What, Natalie?” You said, letting out a sigh as you dropped down on the couch.
Mimicking your actions, Natalie sat next to you, nudging your side. “So. Ilya. You gonna be okay with this?”
You shrugged your shoulders, not knowing yourself if you were going to be okay. “Yeah, we’re on good terms. I’ll probably be out with Nick anyways,” Your fingers tugged at the hem of your shirt, trying not to let your lies consume you.
“Oh come on. You and I both know that’s a lie. David’s too dumb to realize it but I see right through you,” Natalie replied, giving you a look.
Your mind was racing. She knows. How does she know? Fuck.
“What’s a lie?” You asked, playing dumb and hoping she wouldn’t say what you worked so well on covering up.
“That you and Ilya are on good terms. And you’re definitely not going to be okay.”
You let out a breath that you didn’t realize you were holding in. “I’ll be fine, I swear,” you said before getting up to clean the house.
Natalie let out a groan not happy that you weren’t opening up to her.
The hour came and went as you watched David rush around his place, trying to find his keys and wallet before finally leaving to pick up his friends. 
Quickly cleaning the rest of the rooms, you took a quick shower, not wanting to look so gross in front of your friends. Even though they’ve seen you in worse conditions. You were hoping that once you were done getting ready, you would still have time to sneak out before David got back. But with your luck, as soon as you stepped out of the bathroom the front door opens and loud voices boom through the house.
“I’m so happy you’re here!” You hear Natalie yell as you round the corner to see her hugging Ilya.
“(Y/n)! What’s up!” Alex yells as he makes his way to you, pulling you into a hug. You haven’t seen him since you moved and his arms made you feel like you were back home.
He let you go just in time for your eyes to fall onto Ilya, who was already looking at you.
You didn’t know what to do, so you smiled softly at him before he made the move to hug you.
You relaxed under his touch as you nuzzled your face into his neck.
Now this is home.
“How are you?” He asks as he pulled away.
“Good...great, actually,” You said, barely believing your own words, “How are you? How’s Chicago?”
Ilya ran his hand through his hair before going back to where everyone else was standing. “I’m good, Chicago’s okay. It’s kinda boring without you guys though.”
You all make your way to the living room to finish talking.
“Well it’s a good thing everyone’s coming over later. It will definitely be everything but boring,” David laughed and shook his head. He knew by the end of the night, this place would be trashed again.
You got up from the couch getting ready to leave when you were stopped.
“Where are you going?” Ilya asked, his eyes not leaving yours, “We just got here,”
You tried breaking eye contact but his stare was holding yours hostage, “I, uh. I forgot I had plans with Nick later. We’ll be back later if we have time.” You said, finally breaking free from his stare.
You quickly said your goodbyes and left before anyone else could say anything. As you sat in your car, trying to control your feelings, you heard a knock on your window. Almost jumping out of your seat, you roll it down to be face to face with David.
“Everything okay?” He asked, “I know it’s probably weird with Ilya and everything but I figured you would be over it by now.”
You were taken aback by his choice of words. He of all people should know what it’s like to deal with a breakup but still having to be around them.
“Shit, no. Sorry. I meant that I thought you would be over him. Y’know with like Nick being in your life and everything.” David tried to explain himself.
You shook your head, letting it go, “It’s fine. I’m fine, really. I actually have to go though,” You say before putting your car in reverse.
David backs away, letting you leave, “Fine but promise you’ll stop by later. I know Alex and Ilya miss being around you.”
You open your mouth but close it, repeating this a couple times before finding your words. “I don’t know, Dave. I’ll try.”
You waved goodbye before pulling away from his house. On the drive home you couldn’t help but think of Ilya. You missed him. As your best friend. As your boyfriend. Life was better with him in it and you wished things worked out between you guys. 
When you got to your house, you saw that your boyfriend’s car was in the driveway, immediately feeling guilty about thinking of another guy that wasn’t him.
Just as you were getting out of your car, you see him coming out the door with a suitcase in hand.
“Hi baby, I’m sorry. I have a work thing this weekend. It’s last minute and I have to leave now or I’ll miss my flight,” your boyfriend says, only stopping for a second to kiss you.
“I thought we had plans?” You said, trying to hold back tears. 
Not even turning around, Nick shouts over his shoulder, “I know I’ll make it up to you when I come back. I promise.” He puts his luggage in his trunk and gets in his car. Just as you think he’s about to leave, he gets out and runs up to you. He grabs your cheeks and pulls your face to his, kissing you more passionately than he ever has.
“I love you, I wish I could stay for the weekend,” He says as he pulls away, pecking your lips once more before officially leaving.
You let out a quiet groan as you walked inside your home, letting the tears fall the second the door closed behind you.
You fell to the ground as the emotions you’ve been feeling for the past forever came out at once and you couldn’t hold anything back. Tear after tear, sob after sob, you let it all out. Not caring if your neighbors could hear your frustrated screams coming from your home.
When you finally decided you’ve had enough crying for the day, you picked yourself up and changed into more comfortable clothing. You spent the rest of your day on your couch, catching up on all the shows and movies you haven’t seen in a while.
You didn’t realize you fell asleep until you were awakened by your phone going off, almost for a minute straight. Coming out of your sleepy haze and looked around for your phone soon to realize it was in your purse across the room. You let out a sigh of relief when it stopped ringing, concluding you didn’t have to get up anymore.
Another 10 or so minutes before you heard your phone ringing again. You grabbed it out of your purse and retreated back to your spot on the couch. Looking at the home screen, you saw you had 3 missed calls from David, 1 from Ilya and countless messages from a group chat you were put in with everyone from Vernon Hills. Most of the messages were about going to David’s for a party. Something you certainly didn’t want to do tonight.
You opened Ilya’s message last, wondering why he was texting you.
When are you coming over? Wanted to catch up
You left him on read along with everyone else. The last thing you wanted to do was be around people, let alone drunk people and your ex...who you still had strong feelings for.
Another hour went by with your phone being silent for once. Just as you were finding yourself drifting back to sleep, you heard a couple knocks at your door. Putting your TV on mute so whoever was there didn’t hear you were home, you quietly sat and waited for them to leave.
They knocked again, this time a little louder. “(Y/n). Open the door, I know you’re home,” you heard David’s voice behind the barrier, “I’m alone. Please let me in.”
You let out a huff and let him in, quickly closing the door behind him. Instead of greeting him, you went back to where you spent the last 4 hours.
“So what’s up?” David asks, sitting across from you on the couch.
You kept your gaze forward while you shrugged your shoulders. “Shouldn’t you be at your house to maybe supervise your party?” you ask, genuinely curious as to why he left his very expensive house in the hands of drunk people.
“First of all, Natalie is keeping an eye on it. Second of all, don’t change the subject,” David said sharply, making you flinch slightly from the anger that laced his words. “We’ve been friends for how many years? And you’re seriously going to sit there and not talk to me? Cmon (y/n).”
You could feel the tears building up again as you started to think about everything that was going wrong. Quickly covering your face, you let the tears fall. David pulled you into his side to comfort you, not caring if his shirt gets drenched.
“All I want is love that lasts, Dave. But apparently that’s too much to ask for,” You say in between sobs. “Is there something wrong with me?”
“Hey, what? No no no, (y/n) you’re incredible. Did something happen with Nick?” David asks, moving the stray hairs that stuck to your face.
You couldn’t help but roll your eyes. Everything happened with Nick. Running your hands through your hair, you tried to think of words to fit your sentences. But every time you opened your mouth, you were on the verge of crying even harder.
“I know he goes out and cheats almost every weekend,” You finally say, barely audible. Fiddling with the blanket on your lap, you didn’t dare look at David. You could already feel his judgemental stare burning holes into your head.
“Is that a joke? (Y/n) why the fuck do you stay with him if he’s going out and doing shit like that?” David hisses, more mad at the situation than he is at you. 
“I don’t know, David, okay! I don’t fucking know why I stay. Maybe because he’s the only guy that’s ever met my expectations and didn’t leave when things got rough!” Your voice boomed through the room. As you glanced at David, you could see his entire body soften, knowing who you were talking about.
He let out a sigh as he played with his hair, for once not knowing what to say. You two sat in silence for a couple minutes before he finally said something, “He didn’t leave because things got rough, (y/n). He left because he was scared. And he didn’t want to make things worse for you,” David says, playing with the ends of his hair.
When you were with Ilya, almost a year into the relationship you started to figure out he had an alcohol addiction. But when you confronted him about it, he froze up and wouldn’t talk to you for weeks. If he did, it was short answers and always bailed on plans. 
“I don’t get why he couldn’t just tell me what was going on. We were best friends and now we’re just...nothing.” You said, looking at David for answers.
“I don’t know why he does anything but I promise you he never had any intentions on hurting you and I know that doesn’t help anything. But I know Ilya, he never wanted to end things with you. He loves you, (y/n), he just didn’t know what to do.” David ruffled his hair, slightly messing it up.
Sitting in silence once again, you moved over to David’s side, cuddling into him. “I miss the good old days. When we were all together every day. We were so young and naive, yknow?” You said, reminiscing on your childhood. “I always thought the perfect guy would come and find me. But I guess happily ever after doesn’t really come so easily,” You let out a little chuckle, realizing how different everything is now compared to how you thought it would turn out.
“It definitely doesn’t, but that’s the good thing about life. You find someone new who shows you what you want and what you don’t want. What you need and what you don’t need. And I can tell you right now, what you don’t need is Nick. You don’t need someone who can easily go out and cheat on you every weekend, not caring that you’re home by yourself most of the time.” David traced circles on your arms, keeping you calm through this whole situation.
“I think I want to talk to Ilya. Like tonight. I need to do something before he leaves and I know if I don’t do it soon, I probably never will.” You said, moving away from David’s grasp and standing up. You could see the confusion in his face but he still had a small smile playing on his lips.
The drive to David’s was nerve racking. You tried to think of words that made sense but all you could come up with was nonsense. You felt your palms become clammy as his house came into view. The music could be heard miles away. As David pulls into his driveway, he looks over to you and asks, “You ready?”
You nod your head once before getting out. You felt a sudden wave of confidence crash over you as you stepped through the door, your eyes immediately landing on Ilya. Heat ran through your body as you saw how happy he looked, something you haven’t seen in what felt like an eternity. You heard everyone yell your name, happy to see you, but all you were focused on was him.
Slowly losing your confidence with every step, you made your way to Ilya who started to meet you halfway. “Hey,” you said when you were finally face to face.
“Hey,” Ilya replied, shoving his hands in his pockets. “You came in here pretty fierce,” he said, laughing at his words.
You couldn’t help but smile, “Can we talk, please?” You asked, motioning your head towards David’s room. You watched Ilya nod his head and followed him into the room, locking the door behind you.
Keeping your eyes straight, you sat next to Ilya on the bed. The two of you sat in silence for a bit as you didn’t know what to say.
“So…” Ilya says, breaking the silence. You could hear him smiling.
“Nick’s been cheating on me almost every weekend. Probably since we’ve started dating.” You blurted out, not really sure why you were telling him this. “He thinks I don’t know because he keeps telling me it’s for work. But I’ve seen proof. And nobody goes on that many business trips.” You were expecting tears to prick your eyes but you only got more annoyed.
“(Y/n), I’m sorry. You don’t deserve that. Have you talked to him about it?”
You shake your head. You weren’t sure why you never confronted him about it. Maybe because you didn’t want to lose the sense of security you were so used to. “I guess I knew that if I asked him about it I would’ve lost someone again. And I don’t think I could have handled that.” You admitted. 
You looked over at Ilya, seeing his eyes soften with guilt. He opened his mouth to talk, but you quickly cut him off. “That’s not what I wanted to talk to you about. This entire day I kept thinking about you and us and everything that happened. I wish you would have stayed. I wish we could have worked out. I don’t think you realize you were the best thing that happened to me.” You paused for a second, letting Ilya take in what you just said.
“You need to understand that I never meant to hurt you like that,” Ilya responded, grabbing your hand, “I just got defensive and I didn’t know what else to do, (Y/n).”
You turned your body to face Ilya. He looked broke and hurt but also happy. “I guess what I wanted to tell you is that I still love you and I know I shouldn’t because of Nick but fuck him. You are what I need. You were always what I needed. I want to make this work. I miss you, all the time.”
You waited for Ilya to say something. After a few seconds you were worried that maybe he didn’t feel the same anymore and you crossed the line. But everything happened so quick, next thing you know Ilya’s hands are cupping your cheeks and pulling you into him for a kiss.
Your body relaxed into his as you smiled into the kiss. Ilya pulled away too soon for your liking, “I guess maybe you should end things with Nick.” You couldn’t help but groan at the thought of him. Pulling out your phone, you texted your now ex-boyfriend telling him everything. That the relationship was over and you knew he was cheating. You told him there would be a box of his things at his door tomorrow.
You tossed your phone behind you and tackled Ilya down to the bed, immediately kissing him again.

Eyes of Juniper Ch. 1 (A Metallica Fic)
Ao3 Link
Author (as known on Various sites): Lady Lover- Rockfic, Luluthechoosingcrow - AO3, theladylovingcrow - Deviantart and Wattpad, @sammy_bluebells - Instagram, @imacrowcawcaw - main Tumblr, @insannywestan - Sanny shipping Tumblr Pairing: Lars Ulrich/James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett/Cliff Burton, Lars/Female Character (briefly), Lars/Male Character (kinda, more just awkward one sided flirting then Lars gets rescued by his knight in a ratty Motorhead shirt) Fandom: Metallica Tags/warnings: Sex-swap AU, early 80s era 'tallica, smut, gay smut, also het smut since the whole gender switch thing, drinking and alcohol, lots of cussing and profanity, should warn that Lars goes into detail about taking a piss cuz ya know it's new to him, Idk I'll add tags per chapter as I think of shit
Notes: 
1. Okay, so I spent like months thinking about whether to do this or not. On the one hand, yes this has so much potential to be fun (and I've seen some other sex swap stories i like). On the other hand, a lot of the whole sex/Gender swap thing is really stereotypical gender shit and goes against what I personally believe. But, creative juices won out and I'll try to keep true to character as much as possible while also making this funny and not too misogynistic (if that's possible).
2. This is a work in progress! I started it a year and a half ago, and now a friend is helping me continue 
3. This story is inspired by the song 'Jewel of the Summertime' by Audioslave (on their album Revelations) I love this song and it is awesome you should totally go listen to it.
4. The witch-lady is inspired by Aine, Celtic goddess of love, summer, wealth, and sovereignty. I literally just googled 'goddess of love' then scrolled through a list to find someone other than Aphrodite (don't get me wrong I love Greek mythology but it just wasn't right for this fic) and came across this girl. I only did a quick Wikipedia read, I'm not planning on going too heavy into her myth and more just using her for the plot but.... If anybody is more well versed in Celtic mythology and I seem to get something wrong, please feel free to comment and I'll try my best to make it accurate!
5. Woo damn that was a lot of stuff, I don't blame you if you didn't bother reading it. Now, on with the show!
----------
1984 (Lars' POV)
The first thing I felt when I woke up was this odd sense of.... well, just something being fuckin' off. Like I was missing something, but also like I had gained something? I felt like a brand-new person, although in my gut I was still me.... Man, I must have had WAY too much Jager last night, it's fucking with my head.
I slowly peeled the itchy fleece blanket off of my body and rolled onto the floor, which was about a foot from the bare mattress. We really needed to invest in some sheets, especially if we wanted to keep bringing chicks back to the house. Apparently, most girls are not at all impressed by stained, lumpy mattresses with almost no bedding on them.
Speaking of girls and mattresses, didn't I bring one home last night? I raised my head slightly from its position from the threadbare carpet and looked at the bed, trying to see if Anna (Was that her name?) was still there. Yep, there was a naked hippy still passed out in my bed, sweet!
I groaned quietly as I stood and shuffled my way out the door and down the hall to the bathroom. It was then I noticed that I didn't really have the usual alcohol-and-early-morning-and-piss induced erection, but my bladder was still straining. Huh, weird.
Whatever. I just wanted to pee, get rid of that feeling in my gut, and get that dead possum taste out of my mouth. Pushing open the door and wincing as the creaky hinges screeched through my headache, I pulled down my boxers and reached for my dick.... What the fuck?
WHAT THE FUCK?
WHERE WAS MY MOTHERFUCKIN DICK?!
Trying not to panic, I looked down, squeezing my eyes shut for a moment so I wouldn't have to see right away. But, of course, that kind of defeated the purpose of looking down, so I opened them again. No dick. The hell was going on?
Taking a deep, calming breath, I tried to think through this rationally. My dick, for whatever reason, was not where it was supposed to be. But, my bladder was still full and begging to be released, so obviously my system or whatever was still working. That need to pee was turning into a burning pain, so I tried to come up with a solution. If I don't have a cock, then I can piss through....what, exactly? Is there anything down there at all? What is even going on!?
Pulling in another deep breath through my nose, I let it hiss out between clenched teeth as I slowly, so slowly, touched my fingers to my abdomen and moved them downwards, dreading what I would find. Annnnnd....... Yep, there it was.
Velvety soft lips, slick, pungent juices; anatomy I knew so well but never, EVER expected to feel on myself. My crisis would have to wait a minute, though, 'cause my bladder was going to explode and no dick be damned I needed to do something about it.
Gingerly sitting my ass down on the toilet (god, so weird sitting down just to piss) I tried to slowly let it out. The feeling was...well there was certainly relief of the pressure, but it also felt strange in a way I couldn't really describe. I could possibly get used to it, not that I'm planning on staying like this or anything.
Cringing as I wiped, I slowly pulled the boxers back up to my hips that I just now noticed were a little wider than usual. And my hands, were they smaller? Softer? My chest too....HOLY SHIT I HAVE BOOBS! That, I might be able to get used to.
I turned to the mirror, and was quite shocked at what I saw. There was a girl standing there, with large, doe-like green eyes staring back at me from underneath brown bangs. She had a nice tan on her upper body, although her breasts were still pale where she clutched at them, small rosy nipples poking through her fingers. A pair of black cotton boxers stretched tight around the small curve of her hips, but hung loose around her milky thighs that almost touched. And this...this chick was me. ME.
Shaking my head, I splashed some water onto my face and rubbed my eyes, hoping it was just a fucked up dream. No such luck.
I was considering hiding in the bathroom forever, because no way in hell could I let the guys see me like this, let alone figure out how to explain, when I heard a scream. It sounded a lot like Kirk's voice, so I pushed my problems to the back of my head and ran into the hallway, stopping dead in my tracks at what I saw.
Anna, or whatever her name was, stood at the top of the stairs, dressed in flowing black robes with green Celtic designs all over them. She had jewels and charms hanging from her waist, wrists, neck, and ears, each tinkling as she tossed some sort of... Powder onto a very shocked looking Kirk. Or at least, I was pretty sure it was Kirk. He (she?) seemed to be in the same boat as me as far as bodies were concerned at the moment.
With a final dusting of powder, witchy-chick turned to me and smirked. "I hope you learn your lesson, I'll be back in a week. And as for you...." She turned to Kirk, "Well, you're just too damn cute! I couldn't resist seeing what a pretty girl you'd make!"
"This is your fault? You bitch! " I yelled. "Why the hell did you do this to us? Who are you? Change us back, then get the fuck out! I don't wanna be a damn girl, and neither does Kirk!" God this was fucking insane, that chick was crazy!
She hissed at me, eyes flashing in a way that could not be human. "Now you listen, GIRL. You'll stay like this for as long as I deem fit. You need to learn some respect for women, and being one is the best way to do that. I suppose you don't remember what you did last night?" She asked, looking bored and ready lo go fuck up someone else's life.
I thought hard, then it came creeping back to me. The bar, the Jager, the flirting with a group of girls, copping a feel and getting slapped, then her changing her mind and coming home with me, talking dirty in her ear, then unworldly sex, her whispering what sounded like a spell in my ear as I came... Holy shit.
"Is this about me grabbing your ass? I'm sorry! Please don't do this!" I begged, finally starting to let the situation sink in and desperation set. This could not be happening.
"Hmph," she snorted, "Begging isn't going to get you anywhere. I've seen humans beg for much less, and they still didn't get it. No, you'll love your life as a woman for a week, both of you, and hopefully you'll come to realize the struggles and terror that comes with it. If you've learned your lessons and are truly sorry, then you will be turned back. If not... Well you'll just have to stay like this until you do."
And just like that, she turned with a flourish and disappeared into thin air. My morning could not get any crazier, I was sure if it. But, because I wasn't actually sure and was suddenly doubting all logical occurrences in the world, I knocked on the wooden railing. That done, I turned towards Kirk.
He (seriously, do I call us he's or she's now? This is so fucked up) was shaking like a leaf, looking like he'd fall over any moment. I went over to grab him, calm him down, something.
"Shh shh, it's all right, Kirk," I muttered in his ear, awkwardly patting his back. I never thought I'd need to, but it really fucking sucks I can't comfort him any better than this. It was like this sour feeling in my chest that nestled in right next to my heart, whispering how awful I was at this and how he's probably mad at me for getting him into this situation.
Before I could ask him if he wanted to punt me out of a window, though, I heard some shuffling and talking coming from downstairs. James and Cliff were headed up here. As much as I wanted to hide for a week until my fuckin' "lesson" was up, I couldn't exactly drag Kirk into the hall closet in his current state, so I stood my ground.
"Hey, ladies, we do appreciate the service you've done our ugly ass friends, but could you keep the cat fight down until you've left the house?"
Ah, James, the man still didn't know how to talk to women after all this time. He was either too shy to form a sentence, or he put on this macho bravado that turned him into a drink asshole. Either way, this lady was not pleased.
By now I guess the guys had reached the landing Kirk and I were at and saw me hugging him, because Cliff chimed in, "Aww, they've made up! Good! Now, can I ask what exactly you two were telling about so loudly that it woke me and my boy James up? Did Lars do something?"
My back straightened at that, and I turned my head to him indignantly. "I did fucking not!" I retorted, even though apparently this whole situation was my fault. No need for them to know that, though.
"Holy shit, Lars!?!" James screamed.
I sighed. "Hi, Jamie."

I’ve Traveled Troubled Oceans - Chapter One: The Plot
“What the fuck am I supposed to do with this painting?” Jack asks the room at large.
Anne shrugs.
Charles grunts.
“Maybe Max would want it?”
That's the most sensible suggestion Jack's probably going to get out of the lot of them – and it's coming from the new guy. So that bodes well for this whole fucking venture now doesn't it.
“Wait,” Charles says, finally deigning to actually look at what the fuck Jack's talking about. “Flint didn't want it?”
It is, technically, Flint's painting. Traded to Jack for hash by some street kids and paid to Flint in recompense for connecting him with that party full of poncy coke fiends with more money than burst capillaries.
Anne gives a derisive snort.  “Nah, he fucked off to America to live in romantic poverty with his boy toy.”
Though given that said boy toy is heir to the Hamilton fortune, their romantic poverty is more likely to involve a stately home in Greenville or Chapel Hill or something than actual poverty of the variety he or Anne or Chaz are familiar with.
“Well I don't give a fuck what you do with it, Jack. Just get it out of here. I don't want any more Spaniards poking around. Or Russians. Or whoever the fuck they were. They fucking trashed the place.”
“Yes, of course, Charles. You're absolutely right. They simply ruined the whole crack den vibe we've got going on here. I'll make certain we get our interior decorating straightened out first priority.”
“Fuck you, Jack.”
Charles wishes.
“Well, if I'm actually giving it to Max, Anne had better be the one to deliver it.” Since Max doesn't like Jack, for some reason. And really, really likes Anne for completely obvious reasons.
“Fine,” Anne grits out. As if getting eaten out in the back of a Range Rover is really fucking up her social calendar. “But you're helping me carry it all the way to the fucking West End.”
Wonderful. Now Jack gets to stand outside in the cold while Anne gets eaten out in the back of a Range Rover.
“Fine.”
Jack shrugs on his warmest coat. Maybe he can make a little dosh off the snobby theater patrons. The rich artsy fucks – or those who style themselves that way, anyway – always have a habit or two to indulge.
But surprisingly, Jack gets pulled into the back of Max's car right along with Anne and the painting. And he doubts it's for another ill-considered threesome. Not with the way Max actually deigned to pause whatever boring regency-era drama she's got on. No, she wants to talk business.
Exactly what business that is becomes apparent when Mr. Scott joins them.
“You want the money,” Jack blurts out.
Max nods.
“And you want to use my crew to get it.”
Another nod.
“Fuck no. I'm not going against Eleanor and Woodes Rogers. Not for love or money.” He gets up to leave, gesturing Anne to follow. She's the love, he's the money.
Mr. Scott speaks up. “He owes me.” His tone is level, but Jack can read the vehemence behind it. “They all owe me.”
And Jack doesn't have to be a genius to guess what he means.
“He sent you away for that four stretch. Just like he sent Flint and Silver and who knows how many others.”
Like Charles. Oh, fuck, Charles. Who'd gone away on a two stretch on a job that shouldn't have been anything but a quick in and out. But somehow London's finest had been there, waiting, handcuffs just ready to snap around his wrists.
“That man owned me, body and soul.” And Mr. Scott's anger has gone beyond vehement to downright poisonous, though he's still speaking in that same even tone. “But he thought I was getting greedy. Getting uppity. So he sent me away, to teach me a lesson.”
Like he was some errant school boy and Lord Hamilton his headmaster. Oh, he'd always styled himself as such, the pompous prick. Mr. Scott takes a breath.
“So yes, I want the fucking money.”
Fair enough, in Jack's estimation. But that still doesn't explain why he's the one who has to go get it.
“Surely there are enough remnants of Flint's old crew to con into this suicide mission.” Billy Bones comes to mind. He's pretty sure either Eleanor or Woodes Rogers would be susceptible.
“Flint's gone,” Max supplies. “Bones turned traitor. And Silver paid me out the ass to help him disappear. Last I'd heard, he ran away up North to open a pub with Madi.”
So that's his share disappeared, then. No wonder Max is going straight to the source.
Anne snorts. “Wonder how long that honeymoon's going to last.”
Max smiles, and it's not a very nice expression. “Well, either they'll reconcile or Madi will be back here in a week with a big fat insurance payment on the pub that mysteriously burned down – and Silver will be nowhere to be found.”
Mr. Scott smiles proudly. Madi truly is her mother's daughter.
“Ok, ok. You're short on options. But that still doesn't explain why you'd come to me.” Jacks been out of that particular game since Charles went away. And sure, he's built himself a tidy little empire here, dealing drugs to the rich idiots who want them. But that doesn't mean he's ready to get back in the saddle – and certainly not with anything on the scale Max is talking about.
Max looks uncomfortable, which isn't an expression Jack's used to seeing on her. “It needs to happen quickly and with discretion.”
And there isn't anyone else she trusts with this, Jack realizes. Well, damn. Now he's got to do it – Max owing him a favor is worth thrice his weight in cold hard cash.
“Why the time limit?” Anne asks.
An excellent question. “The Eleanor I know doesn't need the money. She probably just took it because she got bored of her gilded little cage.” She'll want to keep it around for a while, as a trophy if nothing else.
“Eleanor doesn't need the money,” Max says with a grin that spells nothing but misfortune for her victims, “but Woodes Rogers is another story entirely.”
“I thought he was loaded,” Jack interjects. “Surely blow and rent boys can't run him that much.” Though if he holds parties like the one Jack had attended on a regular basis – that might actually start draining the old trust fund. But even so, he and Eleanor both work the kind of rich people jobs that amount to doing fuck all and being paid out the ass for it. So he doesn't think that's quite it.
Mr. Scott smiles, and it's not a very warm expression. “Apparently Mr. Rogers has something of a gambling problem. He's run up significant debts with some international syndicates – including our friends the Spanish.”
“And now that his patron Lord Hamilton is out of the picture,” Max continues, “he's left with wolves at the door. The cash is as good as gone by the end of the week.”
“Well shit,” Anne says.
A sentiment Jack wholeheartedly endorses.
“Even if I had an entire week to plan this venture, I couldn't guarantee success. And all you're giving me is three days! How the hell am I supposed to pull this off, Max?”
Max smiles. “Charles is back in town, isn't he?”
“Yes,” Jack says tightly.
“That's your way in.”
“Now I know you're joking.”
Max raises one delicate eyebrow in question.
“Charles and Eleanor had a rather... explosive falling out right before he went away. Surely you heard about it. There's no way in hell he's our way in – she'll slam the door right in his face.”
“The thing about Eleanor, Jack, is that she loves to burn bridges. But once she's burned them, she inevitably finds herself looking back across the water to the other side. And finds she rather misses what she had when she was there.”
And isn't that just a terrible insight into Max and Eleanor's former relationship. Jack shudders. He's never going to bitch about Max being with Anne again.
Probably.
“Ok,” Anne says. “So Eleanor still has the hots for Chuck and she'll fuck him just cuz of that.”
“Well, not just because of that,” Max interjects. “She'll fuck him because she likes to have her cake and eat it too.”
Max waves an airy hand around the group assembled.
“We are all well aware of how things ended between her and Charles. And she hates to lose face above all else. Her fucking Charles and then throwing him over is her rewriting the breakup – getting to play the all powerful king and him the pitiful subject, to be used and thrown away on a whim.”
Jesus fucking Christ.
“Fine,” Anne interrupts, annoyed. “Eleanor's going to play weird sex mind-games with him instead. How does this help us get the money?”
“Eleanor's the one who'd smell a rat,” Jack says. “Woodes Rogers isn't exactly the sharpest or most conniving knife in the drawer. He'd let us right in on, on the pretense of another party. We sell to him and his friends again and they're all too off their heads and sex crazy to bother wondering where we've run off to after.”
“The rich have an amazing ability to overlook the “help” once they've stopped making themselves useful,” Mr. Scott adds.
“Right, yes.” Jack nods decisively as a plan forms. “And with Eleanor otherwise occupied, we'd have run of the whole house. Plenty of time to snoop around and find the money. And if we bring a travel case for the drugs – we load up the cash and just walk out as if nothing ever happened.”
“And as luck would have it,” Mr. Scott interjects, “they plan on throwing a party this very Wednesday evening – in celebration of Miss Guthrie's birthday.”
A plan formed, Jack and the others all nod in unison. They're going to get that fucking cash.
Although convincing Charles to go along with it might be a little difficult.

Care For A Dance?
Hi @agrestenoir, I’m your @mlsecretsanta! I hope you enjoy your gift and that you continue having happy holidays!
~~~
This year’s Agreste Winter Gala was not what Adrien had been expecting at all. Well, some of his expectations had been met. Being assigned a date for the evening that he actually enjoyed spending time with? Check. That date being the best cousin ever that he hadn’t seen in months? Check. His father actually leaving the house for his monthly public appearance? Check. Nathalie looking relaxed and happy due to the holiday spirit? Check. Seeing the love of his life, less than twenty-four hours since their identities had been revealed, with absolutely no time to process the information and their whole relationship on the line since they had literally run away the moment the truth had been known? Not check, so not check, abort mission, abort!
Adrien had actually been hoping for the evening to be his chance to relax and not think about it, since he was like, a hundred percent sure that they wouldn’t be running into each other, but, of course, he had a black cat’s luck. Well, they hadn’t really run into each other yet, but the fifth time that Adrien had ducked to hide behind Anneliese, she had let him know that he would never hear the end of it. Now he also had been avoiding giving her an explanation.
Adrien was about to make an escape when he caught Natalie’s stern look. Right, the mandatory dance with his date, how could he have forgotten? He turned towards his cousin with an extended hand but froze at her mischievous look. Oh boy, there was no way he could get out of the interrogation now, and she knew it.
With a grin, she took his hand and practically dragged him to the dance floor. They started to sway with the first notes of the music, and he gulped, here we go.
“So, are you finally gonna tell me why you’ve been acting weird all day?” Wow, she couldn’t even soften it a little?
“Me? Acting weird? How can you say that? I’ve been acting perfectly normal all day.” He was trying to make himself sound nonchalant, he probably wasn’t succeeding.
“Oh, gotcha.” He tried not to crack under her look, it was okay, he could do this. “So, just to confirm, it has absolutely nothing to do with the girl in the pink dress that you’ve been staring at all evening?” How she had managed to make her voice sound so innocent when her look clearly was not, he had no idea.
“My gir- I mean, a girl? No, I don’t know who you could be talking about.” Was he sweating? He hoped he wasn’t. He definitely felt like he was, though.
“She’s pretty, I’ll give you that”
“Yeah, she is.” He said with a sigh.
Anneliese shook her head, just what had happened while she was gone? She hoped she could find out before it was time for her next trip, otherwise, she was going to have to deal with the biggest cliffhanger ever. She prepared to deliver the final blow.
“She’s looking at you right now.”
While his distress was evident, she had the nosy cousin’s obligation to intervene and to embarrass him further.
“You know what? Now that the song’s over,” she said the words a little bit louder to break him out of his panicked trance, “why don’t we go talk to Jagged Stone? You’re a fan, right?”
“Yes, I’m a fan. Yeah, I like his music. Yep.”
Wow, he really hadn’t noticed. Well, this was going to be funnier for her. They turned around and started walking towards the rock star. She tried at least, but the vice grip on her arm didn’t let her take more than two steps. Oh, so he finally had noticed.
“Adrien, we’re going.”
“No.”
“Yes, we have to.” She started to pull him forward.
“We don’t have to, he seems busy…”
“Adrien, you’ve been putting this off all evening, we’re going.”
“Please don’t make me do this.” He was begging now, wow, she was impressed. Just who was this girl?
“Okay, Adrien, listen.” Time to assume the supporting cousin role. “We’re going over there, and I’ll help you talk to her, okay? I’ll be with you the entire time, there’s nothing to be worried about.”
Adrien took a deep breath, “okay.”
Oh, the innocence of youth.
She started guiding/dragging her cousin towards the talking pair, not giving him a chance to chicken out. She had a plan in mind, and she was not leaving tonight without seeing it come to fruition.
Once they were close enough to Jagged and the pretty girl, she cleared her throat while she poked his arm. “Do you remember me?”
He glanced towards her, and his face dawned in recognition. “Anneliese, my girl! It’s been so long!” He said with a grin while they executed their unnecessarily long and complicated handshake. Oh yeah, this night kept getting better and better, for her at least. “What are you doing here?”
“Oh, I’m just here accompanying my cousin Adrien.” She pulled him forward from where he had been trying and failing to hide behind her. Seriously, he was taller than her, what did think he was going to accomplish by doing that? “Adrien, say hi.”
“Hi.” He said with the most awkward wave ever.
“Hi.” She concentrated on the girl’s somehow more awkward reaction and yep, these two were definitely made for each other.
“Oh Marinette, is that not the boy from your pictures? You know, the ones that you had all over your room when I went to film the TV show-”
“Yeah! Yeah! I remember, no need to talk about it any further.” Now that they mentioned it, she remembered the TV show they were talking about. At the moment, she had thought that Marinette was just another fan, but there was obviously something else to it. Besides, she didn’t need to look at his cousin’s face to know that it probably resembled a tomato.
“Had I known you were here all along, I would’ve come and said hi earlier.”
“I know! It’s about time we caught up, right?”
“Right.” This was her chance to put her plan into action. “But we don’t want to bore Adrien and Marinette here with our super boring talk, right?” She directed a pointed stare towards the pair that until that moment had been lost in their own trance and looked back to Jagged, the grin and mischievous look that matched hers was all the confirmation she needed.
“Oh yeah, we should totally go somewhere else.”
“What?” Much too late, they realized what was coming for them.
“What? Cuz, you can’t leave me here…” He whispered.
“Anyway, you two guys will be fine together, right?” And without waiting for an answer, she exclaimed: “bye, have fun!”
To finish her statement, she pulled on her cousin’s sleeve to bring his ear down and whisper “be nice, and don’t you dare run away, I’ll be watching.” Someone else probably wouldn’t have noticed the shiver that went down his spine, but as good as he was at hiding his reactions, she had the upper hand in this one.
Almost like they had planned it, Anneliese and Jagged pushed the pair towards each other, making them stumble and catch themselves within their arms. Success.
She left with her arm in Jagged’s like the partners in crime they were and with a look that said one thing: I want all the details later.
“So, what is your plan?”
“Oh, don’t worry, I don’t plan on interfering.” And after a pause, she added: “unless it’s absolutely necessary, of course.”
~~~
They touched for just seconds, what it took them to steady themselves and stand upright, but it was enough to make Adrien long for it again as soon as they separated.
“So…” he started, please don’t make this weird, “I didn’t know you were gonna be here.”
“Yeah, I wasn’t gonna come,” was she as eager and nervous as he was too? “but they told Jagged that he could invite as many people as he wanted as long as he didn’t bring Fang so…”
“Yeah, that makes sense…”
It didn’t matter how his heart was pounding or how warm he felt by her proximity, the tension due to what had happened plagued the air, and he couldn’t help but feel fear because of what could happen, of what he could lose. They needed to talk.
“I-I have to go.” She turned away, body on edge.
“Marinette, wait,” he lightly grasped her arm and sighed when she stopped and turned to him, “please, don’t go.”
“I don’t think I can talk right now, Adrien.” His heart broke at the lost look in her eyes and the smallness of her voice.
“Then we don’t have to,” he leaned down in a small bow, his hand stretching forward, “care for a dance, my lady?”
He would never admit it, but he felt relieved when a light blush covered her cheeks, and her hand felt atop his. They walked to the dance floor hand in hand and started swaying to the music in perfect sync like nothing had happened.
“Your dress is gorgeous. You designed it, right?”
“Yeah, I did,” her answer came through muted teeth and averted eyes, Adrien tried not to panic, don’t say anything rash, don’t scare her off.
“Are you disappointed?” So much for not talking without thinking.
“What?” The question seemed to throw her off, but he couldn’t take it back now.
“That I am him. That he is me. That I ran off instead of staying to talk last night. Of everything?” This time he looked away, not being able to stand the disappointment that would surely be all over her face.
“Oh, Kitty, I could never be disappointed in you,” her words made him look back, “I ran too, remember?” The positive tone of her previous words vanished as she added, “are you disappointed?”
The most pleasant warmth started to fill his body, “no, I’m not.” It seemed that the previous tension was nowhere to be found, “I’m confused, insecure, scared, happy, eager, in love, and many other things, but never disappointed.”
“What-what was the last thing you said?” Her voice almost came out like a squeak.
“I said…” he turned over in his mind what he had just said, and had all his possible embarrassment of the day not already been burned out during the evening, he would probably be very embarrassed now, “I said I’m in love. With you,” he said clearer this time, “my feelings haven’t changed Bug.”
As the words left his mouth, he knew they couldn’t be more true, even if he hadn’t planned to talk about it so soon, he would never be tired of saying it, and he would never regret it. Even if the insecurity killed him every time she didn’t answer. Was it too much? Does she not feel the same? The sensation of something brushing the top of his head broke his train of thought. Had it been his imagination? It appeared not, for Marinette was looking at that something, and it was making her blush. He looked up to see what it was, and, honestly, he should’ve been expecting something like this, especially with his cousin still somewhere on the venue.
There, dangling over their heads from a red rope, which looked unstable and poorly arranged, was a single sprig of mistletoe.
Adrien gulped and tried to fight the blush that was taking over his cheeks, “you know, we don’t have to-”
That’s when he felt it: warm, soft, and oh so perfect. The quickest and most delicate of pecks, just beside his own lips. He looked down in surprise, butterflies filling him at the sight of her gleaming eyes and dazzling smile, with blushed cheeks that most likely mimicked his own.
He held her more closely, like that day in Chloe’s party that seemed so, so long ago now, with no intention of ever letting her go. He leaned down to touch his forehead to hers, happy to just sway to the music while looking at her and communicating without words, knowing that everything would be alright, just like they did every day in battle.
And well, had they been paying attention to anything in their surroundings, they probably would’ve noticed a not-so sneaky pair high-fiving and taking pictures.

After watching The Haunting of Bly Manor and crying my eyes out I immediately made an tma AU inspired by it and now I can’t stop thinking abt it ‘cause it happens around 1890′ and there’s magic (cuz i love magic) I literally love it, so I’m gonna info dump abt my own fucking AU, here goes:
Main characters? Martin, Agnes, Gerard, Annabelle, Jude, and Gertrude. Spoiler alert! They all die sooner or later. This is abt ghosts after all. 
(this gets very long i apologise)
I’m gonna help you out with their ages here real quick:
- Gertrude, Agnes, Jude, and Martin have the same age, just some months older or younger. It’s in the order they’re mentioned (yes, Martin is the baby here)
- Gerry is 4 years give or take older than all those 4 lil bastards
- when Gerry is 5, Annabelle is 18; do the math
QUICK TIMELAPSE UNTIL AGNES AND MARTIN START RESIDING IN MAGNUS MANOR!!!! (yes I named it that call me unoriginal)
Gerry is 5 when he starts to spend summers at Magnus; HIGHLY magical place, Mary is very intrigued -> Gerry gets roped into it (ofc ugh)
Annabelle was already in the magic business so both women worked together. Annabelle gets extremely attached to Gerry and Gerry to Annabelle. (Annabelle is going to be different than canon ‘cause it’s my AU and I decide what happens AND she doesn’t get experimented on ever so that’s a bonus; She has the role Hannah from Bly in this AU)
Gerry turns 9, Mary and Annabelle break off their deal because Annabelle wasn’t letting her hurt Gerry anymore, Gerry doesn’t want to do his mother’s dirty work -> he doesn’t want to go back to the manor. Until...
Martin and Agnes! The manor is housing other children when their parents aren’t able to; Gerry gets attached to both them -> Gerry ends up getting back in the manor to protect them + help Annabelle with their supernatural freak show (the manor).
Martin and Agnes time at Magnus Manor!!! Up until they’re 14 and Gerry’s 18 ‘cause that’s when shit goes down
SO. People. Let’s get some things straight: No one here is human. Not completely. Just to summarize quick: Martin is a shapeshifter (he knows other basic magic); Agnes is a fire witch (she knows other basic magic); Gerry is a witch (mainly divination and sorts, but he knows other basic magic); Annabelle is a witch (reality pulling/manipulation mainly).
- Agnes is still with the cult until she’s 14; she does not know she’s part of one until that age. She just thinks her family’s weird, and that magic is to be kept secret; she also doesn’t get their whole “You’re our messiah!” deal ‘cause she’s not, she’s just Agnes.
- Martin learned his magic from his father. Shapeshifting is the hardest magic out there but Martin could do it at 4 years old. He keeps it a secret ‘cause his dad told him to but he jokes abt it too much (people thing he’s weird and crazy but also just a kid). Then his father leaves at 8 years old and the trauma is so great he... forgets he has magic and just doesn’t do it anymore. He has weird dreams and doesn’t think much of it (until he’s 14).
- Gerry learned magic stuff from Mary but only started gaining his knowing abilities after staying at Magnus. He’s not surprised by it, he is literally there to study it and protect the kids from it alongside Annabelle.
- Annabelle doesn’t realize she has magic up until she dies (oops). She just thinks she’s hallucinating stuff and has lots of luck.
So yeah. Annabelle and Gerry work in secret. Martin and Agnes become siblings (twins they say). Gerry and Annabelle know the others are not human but don’t know how to approach it.
Agnes just gets more and more distant the more time she spends outside of Magnus and Annabelle doesn’t like it one bit. Martin has 1 big magic scare at 11 years old (he’s dreaming of something weird, he’s convulsing, Gerry and Agnes panic, he wakes up and feels strangely pulled to a certain direction outside of the house and that’s it).
At 13, Agnes is always studying at the cult (more and more distant every year but she wants to be at Magnus). Martin finds what was pulling him and it was just a very messy green house (THIS PLACE!!! So important for the plot and for the gayssss).
Gerry (17) and Martin (13) start using the green house together ‘cause Martin wants Gerry to busy himself instead of smoking (Martin hates the smell and doesn’t like Gerry’s coughing when he does it); Gerry does enjoy it but he never admits it to Martin (tsudenre cunt, love him).
(Gerry was already using the green house at night as his mini station; it’s messy ‘cause after Martin’s big scare he was paranoid that they would find it, so he hid everything hastelly)
At 14! Martin and Agnes find out the hard truths:
- Gerry n Annabelle’s whole deal (they followed Gerry one night and it went down hill quick)
- There’s a fucking ghost lady in the lake that visits the manor every 2 weeks at night and they didn’t know? Hello???
- Agnes finds out she’s in a cult from Annabelle and fears for her life so! They fake her disappearance! I guess! These bitches are dramatic
- Martin finds out he has magic! Again, I guess! But he represses it again ‘cause he looks like his father when he does magic and he hates that! Yay, trauma!
Now presenting: Gertrude and Jude!!! They’re now relevant to the plot!!!
Gertrude, Agnes, and Jude all frequent the same school (separated by gender because I said so). They’re all in the same class. They’re close friends but still only classmates basically.
Jude was put is Agnes class for the cult’s purposes. Agnes had the excuse “I’m not that lonely, I’m with Jude! Who comes from the same community where I grew up in, and they’re very secluded! How strange!”.
Gertrude and Agnes feel close to each other but they’re basically just close classmates (they’re soulmates btw eeeeeeh).
Then Agnes goes ‘missing’. Gertrude knew something was off but now she’s certain of it. She forms an alliance with Jude to investigate Agnes disappearance. 2 years after (16), they make a deal with Elias (he’s funding the place with Peter’s whore money) and they’re able to enter the place. 
Magnus Manor is closed off for anyone who doesn’t work there or doesn’t live there.
SO. They go in. Normal enough. They get warned not go out at night (it’s lady of the lake time). The girls think they’re onto them, so they sneak out in the night to find Agnes sleeping in a cellar. These dumb lesbians thought she had been kidnapped by them or something; so they drag Agnes’ sleepy ass out of there.
Or they try to until the lady of the lake barges in. At this point everyone’s awake. The lady does her routine. Then -> screaming match. Lots of things are resolved here:
- Agnes is not missing and she’s wanted by the cult for reasons unknown (to the girls)
- Jude is part of this cult (Gertrude didn’t know); she’s grown fond of Agnes and prefers lying to her community than to see her in distress, so she’s staying quiet about it
- Gertrude hates the church because they burned her loved ones to death, her house, and her cat (this is what made her snap, her parents never truly loved her anyways)
Gertrude never knows that Agnes is part of the cult, just that she’s wanted by it, until Agnes’ death (oopsie daisie)
We have the whole gang here!!! They now work together to stop freak dangerous shit from happening and to figuring the mystery that is Magnus Manor. Up until Agnes is 18. Then some more shit happens...
I’ll leave that for another post!! I have so much shit planned for this, I love it, and if you have made it this far... well... thank you so much for reading!!! And yes, you can make fanart, yes you can write some lil things abt this, inspired by this, just be sure to credit me and to tell me!!! I wanna see :)

Cold is the Night - 18/20
Cold is the Night - 18/20
Fic Summary: You and Pat have known each other for years but this summer, everything will change. As the two of you start to grow close, your matching tempers threaten the foundation of your rocky friendship and prevent both of you from realizing your true feelings. Cold is the Night Masterpost. 
Fic Song: Cold is the Night by The Oh Hellos. Fic playlist can be found here. 
Pairing: Pat Murray/Female Reader
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Language, Slow Burn, Eventual Smut, Multiple Chapters
Tumblr media
"So, like, are we ever going to wear clothes again?" Pat asked.
You both were currently sprawled across your bed, still completely naked. It had been well over twenty-four hours since the game and you'd lost track of how many times you had sex. Your phones had been turned back on, just in case anyone was trying to reach you. But by pure luck, you hadn't been bothered.
"Well, we do have to work tomorrow," you said, munching on a granola bar. "Also, condoms are running low."
"Boooo!" Pat exclaimed.
Laughing, you handed him the granola bar and turned on your side to face him. "I know. Real-life sucks sometimes."
“Not all the time.” Pat cupped your cheek, stroking it with his thumb. “This is real and it’s pretty fucking great.”
You smiled. “When did we get so mushy?”
“I don’t know. It’s gross isn’t it?”
“Disgusting.” Still smiling, you leaned into his kiss, relishing the contact. No matter how many times he kissed you, it felt just as thrilling and exciting as the first. When Pat pulled back, he tweaked your nose. 
"Oh, I meant to tell you, I got my schedule changed," he grinned, taking a bite from the bar. "I work nights now too."
"Really?! So we can do breakfast together tomorrow?" you asked excitedly.
"Fuck yeah. How about the diner down the street?"
"Yessss!" you pumped your fist in excitement. "As fun as that sounds, I wish we could stay in this bubble forever."
Pat threw the empty wrapper on the floor before he turned to face you as well. "Let's not think about responsibilities. Right here and now, it's just you and me."
Grinning, you wrapped your arms around him in a tight hug. "I like the sound of that."
He kissed your forehead. "Me too."
You held each other close, simply enjoying the warmth and the sound of rain tapping at your window. In the distance, you heard a roll of thunder and you snuggled closer. 
"So are we still moving slowly or are we throwing that out the window now that we've said the magic words?" you asked.
Pat chuckled. "I'm fine still going slow if you need to," he said. "I'm not going anywhere."
You thought about your feelings, how scared you were to tell Pat you loved him, and how quickly he responded when you did. He had proved to you again and again that he respected your feelings and boundaries. He was also willing to work on his own problematic behavior while not insulting yours.
"I say, fuck it," you declared, propping yourself up on your elbow so you could lean over him. "We're young. We're in love. I want to enjoy it to the fullest extent."
Grinning, Pat pulled you on top of him. "Sounds good to me. What did you have in mind?"
You bit your lip before reaching into your nightstand. You pulled out a spare set of keys to your apartment, carefully placing them in his hand.
"There. Now you don't have to wait for me to come home. You can come over whenever you want," you said. "I give you full permission to let yourself in."
Pat's eyes widened and he closed his hand around the key, cradling it to his chest. "This is amazing. I don't know what to say."
Smirking, you placed a kiss on his lips before slowly sliding down his body. "How about you just moan?" you suggested with a wag of your eyebrows.
The key was tossed back onto the nightstand and his hands seized your arms to stop you. His hand slid into your hair and he pulled you into another kiss, this was hungrier than before. “You know what I want right now,” he purred between kisses, one hand sliding down to grab your ass. 
“Mmm, what’s that?”
“I want you to ride me.”
You reached over and felt until you found an unused condom. Pat kissed his way to your neck as his hand slid between your legs. "How are we still going?" you wondered out loud before moaning.
"No idea. Do you want to stop?"
"God no," you urged, tugging on his hair to make him look at you. "But we should get some rest after."
"If you say so."
Talking ceased once more primal urges too over. 
The next morning when your alarm went off the two of you groaned in unison. 
"Ugh, make it stop," Pat whined, burying his face in the pillow.
You managed to hit snooze before stretching luxuriously. Your body never felt so loose and tension-free before. With a soft moan, you sank back against the mattress. 
Pat peeked out from the pillow. "The sound of you moaning just goes straight to my dick now."
You chuckled, slapping his ass before sitting up. "We've had plenty of that in the last two days. Plus I'm super sore."
Your boyfriend pouted before pushing up on his hands to look at the time. "Why the fuck are we up so early?"
"Cuz there's actually shit to do," you said, swinging your legs over the side of the bed. "Breakfast, groceries…" You plucked at the bedsheets. "Laundry…"
"Fine but can we at least shower together."
"Oh, for sure."
It took you some time to drag Pat out of bed and into the shower. You were hoping to wash up quickly but you should have known better. Pat "accidentally" dropped the soap and then got handsy when you bent over to pick it up.
By the time you made it to the diner, your body was desperate for a substantial meal. All you had eaten since those pancakes were granola bars, cereal, and ramen. Mainly because that was all you had in your pantry.
Pat seemed just as starved as you were and between the both of you, soon the table was ladled with plates of eggs, bacon, sausages, homefries, and waffles.
"Oh my god, this is the best meal I've ever had!" you declared as you shoveled food into your mouth.
Pat hummed in agreement. "After this, we should get groceries for your house so we can make all this ourselves next time."
"Planning another marathon session already, Murray?" you teased before downing some orange juice.
Pat grinned cheekily. "Babe, you have no idea what I'm planning."
Before you could ask what he meant, someone cleared their throat. You both looked up to find Maz standing there, smiling. "You two seem hungry," he teased. 
"Yes. Yes, we are," you declared proudly. "Here, come join us!" You slid out of the booth and sat next to Pat so that Maz could sit across from you.
"Oh, I don't want to intrude," he said.
"Maz, seriously, we'd love for you to sit with us," Pat assured him.
Maz smiled and accepted the seat. "Don't mind if I do. Should I even bother ordering or is all this not going to be enough?"
You laughed and handed him a clean fork. "Dig in."
He happily did, staring at you both with admiration. "Can I just say, I'm so happy for you guys," he said. "We've all been waiting for this to happen."
"Really?" you asked. "All of you?"
"Yeah, ever since the bar," Maz said. "It was pretty obvious that there was something between you."
Pat slid his arm around your waist, hugging you against his side as he continued to eat with one hand. 
"Maz was the one who told me to ask you out," he said.
"Well, I'm glad you listened to his advice," you replied.
"So, are you going to make it to the next game?" Maz asked. "It's the last one of the season."
"I can't. I have to work," you pouted. 
Pat already knew this but he still pursed his lips in annoyance. You hated how work kept interfering with his games. Next season you'd definitely put in time off on game days.
"Are you nervous?" Pat asked Maz, smoothly changing the subject. "You know, for the draft?"
You had completely forgotten that was coming up.  
Maz gave a small smile and a noncommittal shrug. "Not really," he said. "Whatever happens, happens." He was obviously full of shit. You could see the anxiety in his eyes.
"You deserve it, Maz," you told him. "I hope you get it."
The rest of breakfast past with a more serious tone. In fact, the rest of the day, the bubble started to fade as real-life started to demand attention. When it was time to leave for work, you dropped Pat off at his house.
In his driveway, you put the car in park and both of you took a moment.
"What if we kept driving?" Pat asked. "How far would we get before people noticed we ditched them?"
You laughed. "Probably not very," you said. "Plus, my car isn't the best. It hates long drives."
"We'll take mine then."
Leaning over, you gave him a soft kiss. "As nice as running away with you sounds, we should probably stay."
Pat sighed dramatically. "Yeah, you're probably right. Oh well." He took a deep breath and opened the door to climb out. "I love you. I'll come by after work."
"You better. I gave you that key for a reason."
Smiling, he gave you one more kiss and then was gone. Heart heavy, you drove to work, already missing him. 
What you wouldn't give to have one more day locked in your room, his hands touching you all over while he whispered sweet words in your ear.
The bar was fairly busy when you arrived so you got going quick, making drinks and taking orders as if on auto-pilot. Work used to be everything to you and now that you had something else, something real, you didn't want to be consumed by your job.
A thought came to mind and once it did, you couldn't shake it. Your break eventually rolled around. Determined, you went to your boss's office, knocking on the door. He called for you to come on.
"Hey," he greeted you with a smile. "Everything okay?"
"Yeah. I'm sorry I couldn't fill in when you texted me."
"No worries. I don't expect you to drop everything to come to work at the last minute. I know you have a life outside this place." 
You smiled, thinking of Pat. "Yeah. Yeah, I do. Actually, that's why I'm here. I need to change my shift on Saturday…"

Hcs for terror 13 and 15 for best boy yakumo please? If u only have time to do one, plz pick 13 I love me some angst
[Ooh, I got excited cuz this is my first request. I always get worried I mixed up the numbers with these prompt lists, so let me know if something isn’t right! Thanks for requesting!]
Something drips onto your face. Instinctively, you flinch, nose and eyelids twitching. You wonder briefly what the parasite housed in your heart thinks—what with its dwelling beating so fiercely in your chest.
Your lungs shudder with the deep, shaking breath you draw.
——————
“Hang back!” Yakumo hollers at you from your left. “It’s gearing up for an attack; don’t press your luck!”
Frustration burns within you like a flame stoked by exhaustion and the knowledge that this is your twelfth time facing this particular enemy. Whether it had been by dispersal or retreat, it had forced the both of you out again and again.
But this time is different—you know it is. Just looking at it, you can see it’s on its last legs. Just a little push, just one more flurry of hits.
“I’ve got it!” You yell back, brushing off his warning. “Just trust me.”
You’re breathing hard—sweat clings hair to your forehead and neck. You just want this to be over.
You tighten your grip on your weapon and dive in, ignoring Yakumo’s desperate cries for you to wait—to fall back.
You’re fast, flying across the battlefield like a deadly lightning strike, weapon poised to strike. You see the opening—you know victory is right within your grasp.
But then Yakumo screams your name, and you see what you hadn’t before. Murky Lost eyes are locked right on you, and with a swipe of a giant appendage, you go rolling, weapon falling from your hand and sliding away as you roll with the force of the blow. A trap—you’d been fooled. At the last moment, it had forgone the big attack it had been winding up for; the whole thing had been a ruse to draw you in.
You land on your back, staring up at your foe for what seems to be the last time. It draws back for the killing blow, and you let your eyes fall shut, praying that it is quick.
It isn’t quick, though. In fact, it never comes.
——————
Yakumo gives a suspiciously wet cough. You immediately don’t like the sound of it. Your heart lurches at the sound as if it is trying to escape your chest and go to him.
He gives a weak, shaking chuckle. “Whatever…whatever you do…” he murmurs, breath hitching strangely. His voice seems not to want to cooperate. “Whatever you do…don’t open your eyes. K-keep ‘em closed.”
“Y…Yakumo…” Your voice is strangled, catching on his name like cloth on a splinter. “Yakumo, what…”
You open your eyes.
They find his like magnets, almost pleading with him to be alright. Blood is dribbling down his chin, but he gives you a weak smile anyway. The blade had cleaved downward through his shoulder, into his chest. That’s where it rests, now—tip of the blade still angled towards your heart as if to grudgingly say, “I’ll get you next time”.
His eyes…are already dimming.
The first scream is more of a wail. The cut is deep and you already know there is no coming back from this one. “No, please…” You sob, scrambling upwards to cradle his paling face in both hands. The blow had forced him down to his knees. “No, no no no no!”
“Shhh…” One trembling hand reaches up to cup the back of your head. He pulls you against his good side, maneuvering you around the blade. Your forehead burrows into the crook between his neck and good shoulder. It must hurt but he doesn’t even have the energy to wince. “‘S not…so bad…”
You cling to him as best you can and weep shamelessly into his shirt.
“I’m sorry…” you whimper, unable to form any coherent thought past that, alone. “I’m sorry…”
“Mm…” his eyes flutter with the effort of trying to stay open. He coughs again, and more blood drips from his face. “…You’re safe. S’all that matters…”
He looks down, stealing one last glance at you as his body starts slowly losing pigment—turning gray and flaking at the edges until a soft breeze is enough to carry tiny pieces away. The sobs come harder, wracking your whole form as you cling desperately as if you could hold him together. He tilts your head up softly and with the last of his strength, his forehead comes to rest against yours.
“No…wait,” you plead uselessly.
“Dunno what to say…” he slurs, almost nuzzling, “‘Cept ‘I love you’.”
“I…I love you, too.”
He’s almost completely gray, now. He closes those hazel eyes and you can almost believe he’s just dozing off with how peaceful he looks. With one final shuddering breath, he crumbles to ash in your hands.
The Lost’s blade comes free, clatters against the ground. It draws it back, sending sparks flying as it drags against the asphalt. It screeches in victory, and you scream in anguish, pressing your head to the ground where the love of your life once knelt.
One more time…you close your eyes.
