relax a bit
w/c: 820, short
note: fluff, fiancé geneticist miguel, nurse reader. he isn’t spiderman in this au. this is my first time writing a fic im so nervous to post this so have some compassion 😭 thx!
Sliding the tray of freshly cubed potatoes into the oven and closing the door with a thud. Wiping the olive oil from your hands onto your floral apron, a job well done.
 Cooking was supposed to be a soothing way to relieve stress. After enduring 10 excruciating hours of dealing with the blatant disrespect and disregard from senior residents at the retirement home. It had left you, emotionally numb, feet sore and bone tired. Fed up with those old hags shoving you around. 
You grudgingly continue to clean up before dinner is done cooking. Placing dishes into the dishwasher and wiping the counters before you had begun sweeping, the front door creaks open. 
The sound of his numerous keys being dropped into the bowl at the front door, a heavy winter coat being hung in the closet, and his beloved brown dress shoes being taken off draws your attention.
 “Hey honey, how was work?” You call out brushing up the mess from the floor. 
Miguel‘s large form is heard approaching before he's seen in the doorway of the kitchen in your shared Nueva York apartment. Being together for five years and living together for two you had become accustomed to his habits, it’s almost second nature. 
He grumbles and groans in response to your question as he encircles his muscular arms around your waist, dwarfing you by comparison and burrowing his face into your neck. 
“Rough day I assume?” You ask in a sympathetic tone. 
He responds “Always,” he replies, “but I can’t complain... I love my job. And I love coming home to the sight of you.” He kisses your shoulder and you reach behind to gently stroke his head.
 “You should go take a shower to relax. Dinner will be done soon”. There's a muffled “Yes ma’am.” You smile as you watch his looming figure, descending down the hall to your shared bedroom. 
A delicious dinner, an amazing conversation and a couple glasses of your favorite wine later. You find your fiancé and yourself curled up on the couch underneath a thick quilt watching a cheesy romance movie. 
You both needed this, your hectic schedules hindering you from spending much needed time together. His job as a full time geneticist at Alchemex and you being a full time nurse at a retirement home made your relationship quite difficult. 
You glance at the ticking clock hung in the hall as it reads 12am. Your heart shatters, knowing that this rare domestic occasion has to come to an abrupt end because your next shift begins in 6 hours. A frustrated sigh escapes your lips. Miguel's attention shifts from the television.
“Something wrong?” He raises a brow in concern and rubs comforting circles into your back.
You rest your head onto his chest looking up at him with saddened tired eyes.
“It’s just that…it’s already late and I have to get up soon….I feel like I never have enough time to spend with you.” A frown forming on your plump lips.
He pulls your body closer and places his chin atop of your head embracing you.
“I know sweetie. Our hours aren’t ideal, I miss spending time with you too.” He replies reassuringly.
A silence falls over you both. The sound of dialogue from the movie and the ticking of the clock blending in with the noises of the city that never sleeps. You break the silence first.
“Do you really have to go to work tomorrow?” Your best attempt at using your sad eyes to sway his decision.
“You know I’m the head geneticist. My team wouldn’t know what to do without me.” He chuckles.
“They can figure it out. Don’t you think I need you more than them.”
He looks down at you “Aren’t you needed at work as well? I’m sure they need their hardest working employee.” 
"Screw them; they can figure it out. I need a break, and I know you do, too. He scratches his neck, exhaustion visible on his mature features; a strand of his salt and pepper hair, which you adore, falls forward on his forehead, wrinkled in thought.
“It’s just one day.” He mumbles. You give your widest most convincing smile. “Exactly, just one day, they’ll survive without us won’t they.” Your tone takes a bit of a joyful tone.
He smiles gingerly “Okay, I’ll call out tomorrow.” A small cheer is heard from you. “But don’t think giving me those sad puppy dog eyes is going to work in your favor every time.” He says sarcastically. You kiss him on the lips
“Well it’s never not worked for me.” You reply.
You can feel the stress, anxiety and tension from the day leave your body as you lean further into the loving warmth radiating from the giant man. 
“I love you.” He says. “I love you, too.” 
You both eventually fall into a much needed deep sleep soothed by each other's embrace.
a/n: thx for readinggg <3

read part one and two and three
a/n: this prequel to spoiled and worship and addicted was written bc daddy!mingyu has a hold over me like no other. minors dni!!
Mingyu remembers the first time he met you.
After almost a year of not even knowing about your existence, you unexpectedly showed up at your mom’s house on a cool summer night with your bags in hand. It was uncomfortable for him to witness his fiancé’s lack of enthusiasm at seeing her own daughter, especially when he saw how kind and beautiful you were. Mingyu had felt an instant pang of regret after you directed your pretty smile at him.
If he only had met you first...
According to your mother, you seldom came home. She briefly told him about how you always spent your winter and spring breaks with friends rather than at home. Apparently she was surprised that you had come home right when the school year was over since you usually went on a trip with your friends right after.
It didn’t surprise him, especially with the way she talked about you afterwards—coldly and bordering on disdain. To this day, he doesn’t know why you came home instead of escaping the hell that was your home, but he thanks the heavens every day that you did.
The allure you possessed was intoxicating. Mingyu was certain that you weren’t even aware of the affect you had on people, especially him.
He’s not sure why he doesn’t do more to put a distance between you two when he knows he’s extremely attracted to you. Maybe it’s because deep down, he hopes you feel the same way. It’s sick for him to feel the way that he does, but that was the thing about feelings. They were out of any one person’s control.
“You don't have to stay here with her.” His fiancé rolled her eyes as she clipped her earrings on and grabbed her purse. “She’ll probably be in her room all day.”
“It’s fine. We haven’t spent a lot of time together, so this will be a good thing.”
Your mother smiled a bit before she let out a deep sigh. “That’s sweet, honey. Really, it is. But you know she won’t be around a lot after we get married, right? Y/N will probably get a job in another city and start her own life.”
All the more reason to spend as much time with you as he could.
“She’s still your daughter, and I want to get to know her.”
“Fine, but don’t be surprised if she wants nothing to do with you. That’s how she is.” She tells him as she heads for the front door. “I’ll be back late.”
Mingyu stands in the same spot until he hears her car pull out of the driveway. He lets out a deep breath, feeling his chest fill with excitement at the thought of spending time with you. This was a good thing, he was sure of it. Mingyu slowly makes his way out to the backyard where you were laying by the pool. When he sees you, he thinks that maybe he should’ve listened to your mother and left.
You look over when you hear the sliding glass door open, heart speeding up when you see that it’s your mom’s hot fiancé.
Mingyu feels like his heart might spontaneously implode when you smile and greet him by his name. You look so good in your bikini that seems way too tiny for you. It leaves practically nothing to the imagination, and he has to maintain eye contact with you so his thoughts don’t run wild.
When you beckon him over, it’s like his feet are on autopilot. He sits so that he's facing you, and he’s careful to keep his eyes on your face. If he looks at your body one more time he’s pretty sure he'll get hard.
“Did my mom leave already?” You wondered as you sat up slightly.
“Yeah.” Mingyu swallows thickly. “You just missed her.”
You hummed, eyes raking over his muscular form. Even though he’s wearing a stupid polo shirt and ugly shorts, he still looks extremely good. It’s a true shame you could never have him for yourself. He’s so big, and judging from the prominent imprint you saw last time when he came out of the bathroom in a towel, you know he’s big everywhere.
“You don’t have to stay.” You say as you lay back down and close your eyes. “I promise I won’t throw a party or invite anyone over.”
It’s cute the way you sound completely serious, but also like you’re teasing him. Mingyu doesn’t care if you invite people over since you’re an adult. He knows you won’t destroy the house even if he doesn’t stay, but he enjoys spending time with you.
“I’m sure you won’t.”
You peek one eye open before letting out a small laugh. It’s the cutest Mingyu has ever heard, and he thinks he might actually lose his mind.
“What do you like about my mom?”
Your sudden question throws him off, only because he swears like there’s a whiny undertone to it.
When he doesn’t immediately answer, you peel your eyes open and find him staring at you with an odd look on his face. You raise an eyebrow, finding it very interesting how he couldn’t seem to think of one thing. It’s not right to feel such a deep sense of satisfaction, but you do.
“I...”
It’s never been a hard question to answer before he met you, but now he couldn’t think of a single thing to say. Your expression doesn’t change even as you sit up fully and shrug your shoulders. “Never mind if you can’t tell me.”
You turn away to reach for the bottle of sunscreen sitting beside your chair, barely containing your smirk. Turning back, you hold out the bottle with an innocent smile. “Do you mind?”
Instead of waiting for his answer, you go to lay on your stomach. A wicked smirk stretches your lips when you hear his sharp intake of breath.
Mingyu grits his teeth because you’re wearing a fucking bikini thong. Your pretty ass is on full display for him, and he’s pretty sure if he was a more unhinged, immoral man he would fuck you senseless right now. The temptation is almost too much.
He slowly gets up and does as he’s told. Mingyu thinks rubbing your tender body might be a bad idea when his hands come into contact with your soft skin. It gets worse when you untie the thin strap of your top, humming about tan lines. By this point, he can feel his cock straining against his pants, and he’s thankful that you’re resting your head on your arms with your eyes closed because otherwise you would see exactly how good you look to him.
Just as he thinks he can maybe get through this without going completely crazy, you start letting out the prettiest sounds he’s ever heard. You’re letting out soft sighs and quiet moans of pleasure as he’s massaging the sunscreen into your skin. He bites his lip as he imagines what you’d sound like if he was splitting you open on his cock.
Mingyu stops at your lower back, feeling like his face was on fire. When he looks up from your body, his heart stutters after he sees you looking back at him. “Why’d you stop?”
It’s crazy the way you seemed genuinely confused as to why he wouldn’t rub sunscreen on your bare ass. Almost like you want him to grope it.
“You didn’t put some on my legs.” You said plainly, enjoying the way a blush rises to his cheeks.
Again, Mingyu does as you ask, unable to believe that he thought you actually meant you wanted his hands on your ass. What he doesn’t realize is that you do. Badly. The way he gently glides his hands over the back of your thighs makes you imagine how those long fingers of his would feel shoved inside of you. It takes all your will power to not rub your thighs together as you picture how good it would feel.
When he’s done, you only offer him a grateful smile. “Thanks.”
You watch him walk away, not missing the huge bulge in his pants.
Tumblr media
Mingyu thinks he might be going crazy. Every time you come around, it’s like he can’t focus on anything other than you. Sometimes he feels like you’re trying to tempt him in purpose, but when you turn those unsuspecting eyes on him, he thinks you could never.
Maybe it is all in his head. When you come down for breakfast in your sleep shorts and thin tank top, he can’t exactly say you’re doing anything on purpose because it is your house after all. And when you come home from a night out with your friends dressed in your flimsy tops, short dresses and skirts, he can’t think anything more of it either.
It’s crazy because sometimes he wishes that you were teasing him on purpose.
You weren’t too sure how this game of yours started, but now you were enjoying yourself too much to stop. Mingyu is so damn nice that he didn’t ever say anything to you or your mom. Not when you accidentally brush your ass against his crotch when you squeeze by him to get to the fridge, not when you find the smallest towel to walk around in after you shower, and not even when you play footsies with him at the dinner table.
It’s cute the way he tries to pretend it’s not happening, but it’s also so fucking hot the way he clenches his jaw and flexes his forearms in restraint. Part of you wonders if you can push him far enough to snap while the other person of you wonders if he’ll just spend the rest of his life pretending to be oblivious.
One night after you come home from the club, you find Mingyu in the kitchen. You smirk, feeling especially daring because of the liquor in your veins. Somehow, you felt like he was so close to snapping, and you wanted to see what exactly he would do when he did. You greet him casually, loving the way his eyes are glued to your body.
“Can’t sleep?” You ask as you lift yourself up onto the counter.
Mingyu shook his head, afraid that if he verbally answered you, his voice would give away how much he loved your outfit. Because he’s averting his eyes, he misses the way you smirk.
“Maybe it’s because you’re sex deprived.”
It’s hilarious how his eyes big out. Mingyu snaps his incredulous gaze to you, and it seems like a mixture of offense and something else you can’t place. You know he’s so close to snapping. All you do is push him a little further.
“Don’t be embarrassed.” You said sympathetically. “A lot of couples go through it. Usually, it has to do with stress and things like that. One person will always have performance issues, particularly the man—”
You’re suddenly cut off when Mingyu steps between your legs and pulls you flush against his body. Because of your position on the counter, his hard cock is pressing right against your clothed pussy. His eyes are completely dark as he glares down at you. It takes everything in you not to whimper as the arousal starts to gather between your legs.
“Believe me when I say that I have no trouble performing, sweetheart.”
Maybe Mingyu has lost his mind, but at this point he doesn’t fucking care. He can handle all your teasing, but if you’re only doing it because you think of him as some old man who can’t get it up anymore—
“Mingyu?”
Your mother’s distant voice startles you both. Mingyu looks towards the stairs before he looks back at you. To his surprise, you offer him an amused grin as you gently push at his chest. He reluctantly releases you from his strong grasp. You slowly slide off the counter.
“I believe you.” You tell him in a singsong voice. “Sleep well.”
And just like that, you scamper off. Leaving him with the most painful erection he’s ever had in his life.
Tumblr media
It’s winter when Mingyu sees you again. After that night, you came downstairs in the morning and announced that you were going to move into the dorms. If you hadn’t acted completely normal, then Mingyu might’ve thought you were leaving because of him. But no. You hadn’t mentioned it again and still treated him kindly like you always did.
On the night of his engagement party, Mingyu finds out that his fiancé didn’t tell you about the event. He’s livid and in disbelief. Your mom insists that you want nothing to do with the event, but he doesn’t believe it. As he’s leaving his penthouse, he texts her some vague excuse about being late because of work and promises to be at the venue soon. She only texts him to hurry because the guests are wondering where he’s at.
Mingyu arrives to your house in record time. He probably seems crazy, but that’s the least of his worries. All he wants is to make sure that you were okay with not being at your own mother’s engagement party. He lets himself in and immediately goes upstairs.
Your door is slightly ajar, and just as he approaches it to knock, a soft sound makes him stop. He waits a moment before he hears the sound again, only louder this time. With a thick swallow, Mingyu quietly stepped forward and peeked into your room.
It took less than a second for his dick to get hard.
Directly in his line of sight was you, laying on your bed completely naked with your fingers stuffed into your pretty little pussy. The sight makes his mouth water and his mind go blank.
It’s frustrating to you, the way your fingers are circling your clit in desperate, needy movements. A cute pout settles on your lips when you realize it's not enough. What you really want is Mingyu’s large hands on you. Lately, he's been the object of your fantasies. You often think about him fucking you dumb and filling you up with his hot cum. Fuck. You could tell that he fucked like a mad man, and you wished he would rail you like you knew he could.
And so you let out a frustrated whimper, picturing how his way his long fingers would glide over your cunt, calculated strokes stimulating the puffy bud. A quiet sigh tumbles past your lips as your fingers roll your clit before you sink them into your walls. Soft moans sound through your room while you imagine the touch being Mingyu’s.
It doesn’t matter that it’s wrong for him to watch you like this. Mingyu is already reaching for his zipper before letting his thick cock spring free through it. He grips it, quietly moving his hand up and down to the sight of you fucking your fingers into yourself.
“Fuck.” Your moan was loud compared to the sounds you were making before. “Mingyu!”
His hand stills, and his blood runs cold. For a fleeting second he thinks you’ve seen him from where he was standing, but it doesn’t take long for him to realize that you’re calling his name in pleasure. He sees the way your eyes are screwed shut in pleasure, all while getting yourself off to the thought of him.
Mingyu swallows thickly, feeling his dick twitch in his hand. So, he wasn’t crazy. This entire time you had wanted him as badly as he wanted you. Fuck it. If you wanted him too, then he would gladly give you what you were both yearning for.
Your eyes fly open when you hear your door being pushed open. At the sight of Mingyu, your cunt involuntarily clenches around your fingers. You can only stare, wide-eyed as he stands there, with the biggest cock you’ve ever seen sticking out of his pants. You feel yourself get wetter when you realize he was watching you the entire time.
At this point, you don’t care if him standing in your room with his cock out is a figment of your imagination or a reality. You’re going to get him to fuck you no matter what. The thought makes you lick your lips in anticipation.
“Don't stop on my account, baby.” Mingyu says from the doorway, dark eyes drinking in the sight of you spread out on the bed.
It feels like it takes forever for him to approach you. He’s already discarded his suit jacket and unbuttoning his nice shirt as he walks over to the bed, finally letting you see the glorious form you know he’s been hiding under his clothes. His pants are off by the time you feel the mattress dip under his weight. Mingyu looms over you, eyes searching yours for any sign of doubt or hesitation. He’s only met with your lust-blown pupils.
His broad, meaty chest is pressed against your own until you’re basically pinned under his weight. All it takes is for you to tip your head up slightly for him to smash his lips against yours. Mingyu moans into your mouth as one of his big hands smooth along the back of your neck to pull you close while the other one trails between your thighs, rubbing your hot cunt.
You let out a wanton cry when his large hand comes down and swiftly delivers a hard slap to your wet pussy. He pulls back and smirks when he sees your expression. Mingyu repeats the action. “You’ve been such a bad girl, baby. Teasing me like you have.”
He loves how you look beneath him, grinding into his hand until he’s sinking two fingers into your wet cave. The sound he lets out when he feels how tight your cunt feels is almost animalistic. It’s so tight that he feels some resistance from the intrusion. Mingyu kisses you again and works to push you to your orgasm. He rolls your swollen clit with his thumb, swallowing all your whimpers and moans.
Mingyu’s pupils are blown wide with lust as he pulls away from you. His chest vibrates with a growl at the sight of your bliss-covered face. “You should’ve just asked for my help, princess.” He tells you as he starts pumping his fingers faster. “You have to know that I’ll do anything for you.”
Maybe it sounds crazy for him to admit that you already have him on his knees, but you seemed to like it because you clamp down tighter on his fingers. Your arousal is already leaking out of you and on to your sheets. It’s the hottest thing he’s ever seen.
Fuck. Mingyu looks so hot like this, and his words sound so—
“Daddy!” You moan out before you could stop yourself.
Mingyu groans loudly before he yanks his fingers out of you. He starts kissing down your body, eager to get a taste of your sweet cunt. Just as he’s about to latch his mouth on to the place that’s aching for him the most, you stop him. The shy look you give him when he meets your eyes almost has him blowing his load.
“I... I want to taste you too.”
His cock twitches at your words, and Mingyu feels more turned on than he ever has in his life. He quickly gets on his back before yanking you towards him and positioning you until your facing his cock and your wet cunt is right above his face. He blows a bit of air against you, loving the sight of your pussy clenching around nothing. Mingyu licks his lips before he grips your ass and pulls you down on his mouth.
You both let out loud moans when his tongue enters you. With pleasure overwhelming your senses, you lick at his veiny cock, dragging your tongue up and down the length of it. Mingyu has the prettiest dick you’ve ever seen. So big and veiny and deserving of being worshiped. You wrap your lips around his throbbing length swirling your tongue around his fat tip.
The loud moan Mingyu lets out against your pussy drags a moan out of your own mouth. He laps at your juices, not believing he went this long without tasting you. That’s why he can’t help that he’s messy and eager in the way he eats you out, letting out low grunts and moans against your dripping cunt. Your tight even on his tongue, and he can’t wait until your hot walls are gripping his dick.
“Fuck, baby girl.” Mingyu groans, gripping your ass tighter, grinding your cunt into his mouth. “Such a sweet pussy.”
You hollow your cheeks at his words, bobbing your head up and down. Focused on making Mingyu feel good, one of your hands moves to fondle his balls, massaging them gently against your palm. You smirk around his cock when he pulls back from your pussy to let out a loud moan. Feeling proud that you could make a man as beautiful as he was let out such a noise, you continue on your quest to make him come, running your tongue over the vein on the underside of his cock.
Mingyu grunts into your sopping pussy, working his tongue over your puffy clit with strong licks. The squelching sound of your mouth on his cock paired with the sound of him fucking you with his tongue makes him moan into your heat softly. He relishes in the way your squirm against him, loving the feeling of your whimpers on his aching cock.
“You’re sucking daddy’s cock so good, baby.” Mingyu groans. “Such a good girl for me.”
When you suddenly come undone on his tongue, Mingyu drinks up your juices, moaning at the taste of your orgasm. In the back of his mind, he tucks away the fact that you love being praised. Apparently as much as he loves indulging you.
“Guh-Gonna come, baby.” Mingyu manages to choke out.
You bob your head up and down his length faster, swallowing around him a few more times before he thrusts into your mouth with a loud he whine. Thick spurts of cum paint your mouth white, and you swallow every last drop.
“Fuck, sweetheart!”
Mingyu’s voice cracks as his orgasm rips through him. With a few more ropes of his cum, you finally release his cock with a loud pop.
The sight of your clenching pussy is enough to make his cock twitch again. You notice this and get wetter when you see his big dick is still hard. Placing a small kiss on his bulbous tip, you get off of him and lay on your back, needing him to finally stick his cock in you.
“Fuck me, daddy.” You moaned as one of your hands trailed down your body to spread your swollen lips.
Mingyu wastes no time in positioning himself in front of you, the tip of his cock teasing your entrance. He grips your thighs and tugs you closer to him, the fat head poking at your lips and nudging them apart. You both moan, and Mingyu thinks he could come right then and there when you grind yourself against him.
Licking his lips, Mingyu grips his cock and starts rubbing the fat head of his cock against your wet folds. He smirks when he hears you aroused whimpers.
“Ah! Da-Daddy, please!”
“Please what, angel?” Mingyu demands, needing to hear you say you want him as much as he wants you. He slaps his cock against your quivering pussy with a low growl. “Tell daddy what you want.”
You feel like you’re inebriated with the way he slowly moves his hips back and forth, fucking himself between your puffy folds. Mingyu groans when he hears the soft mewls you let out at the feeling of his hard cock rubbing against your wet pussy.
“Say it.” Mingyu coaxed as he latched his hot mouth on your neck, licking and sucking at your skin until he leaves a mark. “Tell daddy that you want his cock.”
“I...” You babble, to lost in your pleasure to answer coherently.
“What’s that, baby?” Mingyu's voice is sweet yet demanding all at the same time.
Desperate to see you beg for his cock, Mingyu starts to push his tip against your hole, threatening to push in deeper.
“Daddy!” You whined wantonly. “Need your cock inside me.”
“Fuck, baby. You don’t know how long I’ve wanted this.” Mingyu groans as his cock throbs against your hot cunt.
He goes to kiss you again as he rolls his hips, slowly pushing his dick inside you. He groans against your lips, feeling dizzy at the constant clenching from your warm, tight pussy.
You moan out loudly. “Fuck me, daddy!”
The delicious stretch of his monstrous cock splitting you apart had you crying out when he finally fits his huge dick inside you, balls deep and pressed against you. It’s better than anything you ever imagined.
“You want me to fuck you, angel? Want daddy’s cock to stretch your tight little cunt open?”
At your loud whimper, Mingyu lets out a deep laugh. He trails his lips down to your neck, kissing different parts of your skin.
It’s almost embarrassing how fast and how hard you nod, but you no longer care, having already given in fully to your lust. “Please, daddy!” You beg cutely against his ear.
Mingyu can’t believe his wildest desire was coming true. After weeks of stripping his cock raw to the thought of you, he finally—finally—has you underneath him. Fuck. He’s going to ruin you.
You feel large hands grip your hips before Mingyu is suddenly fucking his cock deeper into you. “Look at you, taking my cock so well. Such a good girl for me.” Mingyu groans as he rolls his hips into you.
Fuck. He hadn’t even made you finish and you already knew this was going to be the best sex of your life.
Mingyu slows the roll of his hips and lifts a hand to cradle your face gently. He smirks when you stare at him with pleading, eager eyes. “Do you like having my cock stuffed inside you, baby girl?”
His thumb brushes over you bottom lip gently, and you can only answer him in a whimper as he pushes it past your lips. Mingyu groans when you suck on his thumb, loving how pliant and eager you were. It makes him want to spoil you and give you the world. His cock twitches when you release his finger.
“You feel good, daddy?” Your question comes out breathy.
Mingyu nods, driving his cock deeper inside you. “So good, angel.”
You moan out when his thrust become harsher and faster. The bulbous tip of his dick his ramming against your sweet spot repeatedly, making you feel like you’ve gone stupid from the euphoric feeling. Mingyu moans out when you beg him to go harder.
Going faster, harder, he relishes at how tight you get with each thrust. There’s a faint buzzing he hears, vaguely registering it as his phone. But he doesn’t fucking care. Mingyu knows it’s his fiancé calling to ask him where he was. He doesn’t even feel guilty that he’s balls deep in her daughter. You feel so good that it’s all he can think about.
“Your cock is so big, daddy!” You whine out as you grind your hips up to meet his thrusts.
With his ego inflated, Mingyu reaches down to rub his thumb over your swollen clit. He stimulates the puffy bud until your convulsing around his dick in a way that makes him go crazy. The hot smirk on his face grows wider when he feels your cunt get wetter. Loud, messy squelches fill the room as he fucks you harder.
“You love daddy’s cock, don’t you, baby?” He can’t get enough of you.
Somehow, you manage to nod as his cock reaches deeper now. Your eyes roll back and your mouth hanging open. Mingyu thinks he might come from the sight alone. The loud sound of your pretty moans make his cock throb wildly.
“Oh, fuck!” You cry out, feeling the coil in your stomach finally snap.
Your legs shake and tremble against Mingyu when he keeps fucking you. None of your partners ever overstimulated you, but it felt so deliciously good.
“Gonna fill up this little pussy of yours so that everyone knows that you’re mine.” Mingyu growls as he snaps his hips into you.
You moan loudly and clamp down on him tighter. It only takes a few more thrusts until he’s spilling his hot cum into your aching cunt. Mingyu gives you a few more shallow thrusts before he pulls out. His thick cum slowly drips out of your pussy and stains the sheets beneath you.
Mingyu looks so hot hovering above you, face flushed from his orgasm. You look down to see that he’s still hard, and it's enough to turn you on all over again. With your bottom lip caught between your teeth, you wrap your legs around his hips and use all of your strength to flip the two of you over. His surprised face makes you laugh.
“I want to make you feel good, daddy.”
His groan is so sexy that you don't hesitate to run your pussy along the length of his cock, lubricating it with your arousal. The lewd squelch of your folds spreading against his dick makes the heat in your stomach coil.
Mingyu grips your waist as you reach down to push the head of his dick against your soaking cunt. You watch his chest heave as the grip on your waist tightens. He watches with hooded eyes as you sink down on his cock, right walls gripping him just right.
He bucks his hips up into you impatiently, and you let out a prolonged moan at the feeling of his tip hitting you at a new angle. You lift yourself up and slam back down, loving the way he throws his head back with a string of curses. It spurs you on to keep up your fast pace, wanting him to come inside you again.
The sight of you bouncing on his cock makes Mingyu feel like he’s died and gone to heaven. Because that’s what your pussy feels like. Absolute heaven.
“That’s it, baby girl. Keep fucking yourself on daddy’s cock.”
You whine when he places a hand on your lower back and the other on your ass. He starts guiding you up and down his dick. Your eyes roll to the back of your head as he slams into the spongy spot inside you with ease. Fuck. No one had ever gone as deep as he had, and you mentally curse yourself for not fucking Mingyu sooner.
When you suddenly come on Mingyu’s cock, it triggers his own orgasm. He slowly fucks up into you, loving your fucked out expression.
Mingyu lifts you up off his dick and settles you into a new position so easily like you weigh nothing. Now he has you face down and ass up into the air, exposing your dripping cunt to him. The sight of your pretty pussy oozing with his seed makes something snap inside him.
You cry out loudly when he shoved the entire length of his veiny cock inside you with no warning. Broken whimpers and moms tumble out of your lips as he starts fucking into you like a madman. Mingyu’s hands are on your hips, keeping you steady as your ass bounces back on his pelvis. Fuck. You’re so fucking pretty for him. He knows after having you he won’t ever be able to let you go.
The loud ringing of your phone doesn’t make him stop, but he smirks when he sees your mother’s contact lighting up the screen of your phone. Somehow, he’s able to reach for the nightstand where your phone is and grab it without slowing the unrelenting pace of his hips. You’re barely lucid as he tosses the phone beside your head.
“Answer it.”
He must be crazy. You think. And yet, his words make your walls tighten around his hot cock. Mingyu groans and gives your ass a hard slap. The rough movement has you moaning and causes you to buck up against his cock. His fat tip brushes against your sweet spot and makes your cunt flutter around him.
“Do it now.”
His demanding tone turns you on, and you immediately obey him despite barely able to contain your moans. “Hey m-mom. What… What’s up?”
You don’t have to look back at Mingyu to know he has a wicked smirk on his face. Clearly, he loves how you can barely form a cohesive sentence while he fucks you.
“Have you heard from Mingyu? He’s still not here.”
As you’re about to answer her, you feel one of Mingyu’s large hands reach around your body to rub circles on your sensitive clit. The feeling of his hand on your puffy bud makes you let out a stifled whimper. Fuck.
“I- ah!” You squeal at a particularly sharp thrust.
“What happened? What’s going on?”
“I stubbed my toe.” You manage to whimper out.
Mingyu smirks as he watches you bite back your moans. He keeps fucking into you, loving how your pussy keeps fluttering around him. “Cute.” He coos, voice dripping with rapacious desire.
“I haven’t heard from him.” You manage to tell her as her fiancé keeps fucking his huge cock into your weeping hole. “You… you always s-say how busy he is. May-Maybe suh-something at work came up.”
You don’t hear what she says because with another particularly hard thrust, you’re gushing all over Mingyu’s dick. He grips your ass and spreads your cheeks to see how your sweet cream coats every ridge and vein on his cock. Mingyu groans lowly before he slaps your ass. He reaches over to pick up the phone, barely catching your mom say to call her if you heard anything from her fiancé before he abruptly ends the call.
Mingyu loves how you cry out as he keep drilling his cock into your tight hole continuously and unapologetically. All it takes is for you to clench around him one last time for him to come inside you, filling you up with his thick cum once again.
Just when you think he’s done, Mingyu flips you over so you’re facing him. You love the way he looks at you like you’re the prettiest thing he’s ever seen. Which you are.
The entire time he kept his cock buried inside you, using it as a plug to keep his cum inside you. Slowly, he starts fucking it into you, loving the carnal sound how your wet juices and his cum being fucked back into you. Mingyu shoves his face into the crook of your neck. He licks and bites at your tender skin, wanting to mark up the tender flesh.
“Fuck, baby.” He breathes against your neck. “So fucking tight.”
Your arms had wrapped around him, keeping him as close to you as possible. The sound of his whimpers make you clench around him involuntarily. They’re soft and almost shy, like he can’t fathom the euphoric feeling that’s taken over his senses.
Mingyu’s grip on your hips is bruising as he starts plunging his throbbing cock into your warm, wet cunt. It’s dizzying how his fat tip hits your cervix every time. He lifts his head and smashes his lips against yours in a messy kiss. You swallow his groan as he quickens his pace, snapping his hips into you.
“Fuck, daddy!” You moan in between kisses. “Right there!”
He thrusts one more time before you two come together. Your release mixes with his and slowly drips out of your cunt despite him not pulling out. Mingyu doesn’t move, instead he places gentle kisses all over your face while praising you for being so good for him.
Finally, he rolls you over so you’re on top of him. His cock slips out of you, and you mewl at the feeling of his cum leaking out of you.
Mingyu presses a gentle kiss to your forehead as his hands slowly rubs down you’re back. “I meant it when I said you can come to me when you need help.”
You don’t have the strength to lift your head to look at him, but he can feel your smile against his chest.
“I might just take you up on that, daddy.”

Vinsmoke Sanji x reader who fights his royal treatment~
Tumblr media
@starrymiko suggested/requested these!! This a fun idea I’ve never seen before, because most people ik wouldn’t reject royal treatment from a hot guy—turns out I have a lot to learn (😂💗)
I really don’t how to explain this as a short title so here’s the post where they explain it better than me: Vinsmoke Sanji with reader who rejects his royal treatement
also going to link the posts they got inspired by/read to give them this idea:
Dating ~ Sanji Vinsmoke ~ headcanons & Dating ~ Sanji Vinsmoke ~ headcanons pt2
Sanji loves hard when he loves
And he certainly loves you!
He’s also a very expressive man!
whether he despises you or wants to marry you, he expresses how he feels!
usually verbally too
But he also has practically all love languages, and he tones them to your favorites
but one trait that definitely sticks is his need to take care for who he loves!
so when you reject it?! “But my ethereal and whimsically attractive darling?! What do you mean??”
you explain that you don’t want his coddling and that you can do things on your own, as you prefer your independence
even though that’s not the full story, technically
Pushing him away is pretty darn hard as we see in the anime with Nami and Robin. He’s been trying and failing for 2 years..So if your his s/o this simps’ definitely not just gonna be like “ok 👍” and simply walk away 🤷‍♀️
Alr I apologize for that dad joke.
he’s gonna try every love language in the book to try and get you to open up, you two are dating after all, so maybe your just shy? Awww so cute! His dearest is embarrassed~ Physical Touch is probably the first thing he’d try and the first thing you’d say no to. Mainly since he’s a simp and touching is too direct for you. You guys are a really ironic couple since you’re almost scared of love and he’s all about it.
He tried to initiate contact of all types and got rejected each and every time. Let me carry you for a romantic walk as I hold your bags! 💥💥 “I said got it! 💨 🎒😑” Well at least let me carry the bag to your room! It’s really heavy! “No! I can do it on my own!” But darling- “NO!”
tbh you can hit him as much as you want but he won’t hit you back. So whenever you argue or fight about these kinds of things you usually end up winning the argument
for acts of service literally everything is a no- I washed your laundry for you! “What! Don’t touch my clothes! I’ve got it!!” I got that thing you’ve been searching for! “I wanted to find it myself! Now it’s not as rewarding! I could do it on my own! Stop doing things for me!” Darling, let me help~ 😞 “no way!”
tbh the only thing you let him do is cook for you because he is the cook, and even so, if you want to fix a snack you prefer to do it by yourself. It makes his love for cooking grow even more and he looks forward to daily meals because he can finally take care of you! 🩷
receiving gifts is probably another thing you’d reject seeing as though you’d figure you can get it yourself. But words of affirmation and quality time? May or may not be so bad for you! I’ll let you decide :) if you allow him to display his love in these ways he’d be overjoyed and just assume this is your preferred way of display of affection, and that the other 3 aren’t your forte 💗💗
when he finds out he’s truly scaring you away simply by treating you right and respecting you, he figures somethin’s up.
he’s gonna get to the bottom of it too, whether you like it or not because you, need. it. He knows what it feels like to bottle up your past and smile at the future, despite the fact that the past is still hurting you inside, and it’s like a ticking time bomb before you implode.
He knows he doesn’t want that for you. (Especially after whole cake)
So he’ll gently pry as much as he can with out upsetting you too much. It’s also helpful if you visit your home land, because then he can learn what it was like for you growing up.
if he finds out a person did this to you? They’re cooked.
LOL- literally tho, he’s going Infrit Jambe and lighting’ ‘‘em up! 🔥
if they’re a women he’ll explain the situation to Robin and Nami who’ll certainly want to help you, and they’ll beat up that trifling tramp! 💥
(even if you don’t visit your homeland this still applies ⬇️)
after that Sanji would want to ease you into being used to respect especially and his care too
now if your just naturally independent he’ll try and let it go as best as he can, but he does want you to command respect, because if you let others disrespect you, that proves you have no respect for yourself.
and it’s essential to be able to at least stand up for yourself on the grand line.
but don’t worry! If you won’t do it, he will for you! 😏 No? Well then stand up for yourself dear! 😊
🔥🧑‍🍳
🍜🍳🥘🥞
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Let. Me. COOK.

As Long As You’re Mine - Mob!Steve Rogers x Reader (Part 2)
A/N: Surprise! I’ll let you in on a little secret... I already had this written before I posted the first part! I just wanted to see how it would go down first and boy did you guys like it! So I hope this follow up satisfies your need!
Read Part 1 here!
Summary: Following your engagement to Drysdale there’s one last twist in the tale
Word Count: 2.1k
Warnings: Mob Elements! Language! Mention of Arranged Marriage! Fluff! 
Dividers by @firefly-graphics​

Tumblr media
It had been a month since you learnt of your engagement to Drysdale. Every night you savoured every moment you had left with Steve. Clinging onto him whenever you could, praying and begging this was all a nightmare that one day you’d wake from.
But right now you were waking up alone. Steve had returned to Brooklyn a week ago, said there was a family emergency he had to deal with. He promised to be back as soon as he could, that every night he’d fall asleep thinking of you.
You were just walking towards the sunroom when Romero stepped into your path “your brother needs to speak to you immediately” he states.
You let out a long sigh “sure whatever” you muttered turning in the opposite direction back towards your brother’s office.
As you walked inside you could see how tense your brother was as he braced himself against the desk. You didn’t say anything, just sat down and waited for whatever he had to say.
“Drysdale and the rest of the Thombeys are dead, the entire family has collapsed” Bryce finally states his fists clenching in anger.
“What?” You mutter in disbelief.
“They’re gone, completely crumbled over some stupid inheritance” Bryce scoffs “Drysdale got word that he was getting written out, so decided to kill Harlan before the will got changed, it all imploded from there, family turned against each other until they were all dead”
“Whoa” you muttered in disbelief, you always knew Drysdale would cause the Thrombey empire to fall but you didn’t expect this.
“Yep, so looks like you get your wish after all, you don’t have to marry him” Bryce states in frustration.
“My wish was to choose who I got to marry not have it decided for me!” You snap.
“Well, you might not have any choice now! The options are dwindling and you might be stuck with Hansen!” Bryce roars.
“Don’t you even dare” you growl launching from your chair in anger.
“Boss,” Romero says interrupting the two of you.
“What?” Bryce snaps.
“There’s someone here to see you” Romero answers.
“Send them away, I don’t have time to deal with anyone, I’ve got to fix this bullshit” Bryce states gesturing at you.
“She says she’s a representative of the New York syndicate” Romero pushes.
Both you and Bryce freeze, you’d heard a lot about the syndicate from Steve. And by the look on Bryce’s face, you gathered your father told him a lot too.
“Send her in, Y/N go back to your room I’ll deal with you later” Bryce orders.
“She wants to speak with Y/N too” Romero adds.
You and Bryce exchange a glance and before he had a chance to argue you gave your order “send her in”
Bryce glares at you but his attention soon shifts when the redhead walked in. Her hips swayed as she went, exuding confidence that made it feel like she owned the place. You watched as she first surveyed Bryce before looking at you a smirk growing on her face as if she already knew all your dirty little secrets.
“Bryce Langley,” Bryce says holding out his hand.
“Natalie Rushman but just call me Nat” Nat smiles shaking his hand “let's cut straight to the chase, I’m here on behalf of the New York syndicate boss, who has decided to offer you a deal,” Nat says pulling out a file and placing it on the desk.
“Why?” You question as Bryce picks up the file and sits down.
“I’ve learnt its best not to question my Boss’ motives,” Nat says, despite the clear warning her tone was amused.
Concerned that your brother was about to walk into a trap you walked around the desk and started reading the contract of the deal over his shoulder. It was a trade deal, one that would allow your brother access to the New York harbours. There were a lot of restrictions and contingencies that ensure the New York syndicate remained on top but it was still a good deal. One that all the Boston families would kill for.
“This is a very generous offer” Bryce hums.
“What does he want in return” you question, a deal this big would come with a heavy price tag and you needed to know all the details before agreeing.
Nat smirks as she looks over at you “the only thing he wants, is you as his bride” she answers and your blood ran cold.
You had only just been freed of one arranged marriage, and barely half an hour later another was being discussed.
Nat must have read the horror on your face “and let me just warn you when my boss wants something, he’ll stop at nothing to get it. His enemies learnt that the hard way” she warned.
“Bryce please” you begged.
“You’ve got yourself a deal” Bryce agrees completely ignoring you, grabbing a pen and signing your life away before you could stop him.
“What the hell Bryce,” you say your voice cracking.
“This will be good for you Y/N, would you rather marry Hansen?” Bryce points out.
You scoff shaking your head at him as you fought back your tears “when do I have to leave?” You whisper turning to Nat.
You were shocked to see a hint of sympathy in her eyes as if she wasn’t the one who just condemned you “we have a private jet chartered for lunchtime, my boss wants you in New York before the end of the day”
“This is ridiculous” you mutter under your breath.
“Go relax Y/N, I’ll have someone pack your belongings,” Bryce says gently.
“No I’d rather do it, at least the essentials, they can do the rest,” you say shaking your head, only you knew where all the secret sketches you and Steve did were hidden.
“I’ll be back at 12 to take you to the airfield” Nat nods before turning away and walking out of the office.
Once she was gone you turned to face Bryce “you’re a monster” you whispered “you can lie to yourself about it but you’re exactly like him” you saw the flicker of hurt in his eyes as you turned and walked out of that office for the last time.
Tumblr media
As the town car drove through the city you wished you could enjoy the view but you couldn’t. It has been a dream of yours to live in New York, you should be happy right now. But the reason you were here was the worst possible reason.
You were about to marry a complete stranger, you knew nothing about him, and he could be a monster worse than your father. What hurt the most was that your time with Steve had come to an abrupt end. He’d return to find you long gone and there was no chance your new husband would let you hire him.
You were surprised when the car drove out of the city and upstate. You were even more surprised when the car pulled outside a large house. You’d expected him to live in one of those large penthouses in the city. Not a house in the suburbs.
“Let's go,” Nat says climbing out of the car, and waiting for you to follow suit.
You followed after her as she led you into the house, you looked around in amazement at how understated it all was. It didn’t look like a mob leader's house at all.
“This will be your room for the time being,” Nat says opening a door for you.
Stepping inside you were surprised at how much you liked the decor. You were expecting to hate every single thing about this place, but you were struggling. The house had the views like your old home had but was close enough to the city that you could still enjoy the life of it all. You thought everything would be garish and horrid but it was understated and cosy.
“Dinner is at 7, enough time to freshen up and relax,” Nat says before walking out and leaving you all alone.
You took a deep breath as you looked around the room. Taking everything in, you tried to find something you hated but you couldn’t. There was even a folded-up easel in the corner. Running your hand down your face, taking another deep breath before deciding to have a shower to freshen up.
At 7 pm you made your way downstairs and towards the dining room. Once again you were expecting something grand where your soon-to-be husband would be miles away but it was once again understated. It was A table that would seat 8 people maybe 10 at a push, and the places set weren’t at opposite ends, one was at the head of the table the other sat right next to it.
You turned when you heard the door open behind and you saw your soon-to-be husband for the first time. He was tall and muscular, clean-shaven and had short blonde hair. Your breath caught when you saw his eyes, his piercing blue eyes that somehow held warmth in them. You realised with a start that you recognised him, but it couldn’t be him.
“Hello, sweetheart” he smiles walking over to you.
“Ste-Steve?” You mutter in disbelief.
Steve smiles warmly down at you as he comes to a stop right in front of you, his hand reaching up to cup your cheek “I’ve missed you so much sweetheart” he whispers softly.
“I-I’m so confused” you mutter shaking your head.
Steve gives you a warm lopsided smile “I know I’m sorry for all the cloak and daggers, but I promised I’d set you free”
“You’re the boss of the New York syndicate” you state in disbelief, Steve hums in confirmation “but what were you doing being my bodyguard”
Steve lets out a long sigh his hand slipping into yours “I’ll be completely honest, because I don’t want there to be anything between us, not anymore” Steve says shaking his head “I was there because I was trying to find weak points, your father had been poking around too much and I needed to take your brother out before any secrets got out” Steve explains your jaw dropping in shock “but I never expected to fall in love with you, so when I discovered your brother knew nothing I switched targets”
“You took out Drysdale and his entire family…. Why?” You question.
“For you, to free you from that marriage” Steve answered squeezing your hand gently.
“But the contract” you mutter shaking your head.
“Was only to get you here and away from your brother, you aren’t trapped here, you don’t have to marry me if you don’t want to, you could leave and do whatever you want to do”  Steve explains.
You were speechless, you couldn’t believe what Steve had done for you. What he’d save you from. You hadn’t even realised you were crying until Steve cupped your cheeks and began to wipe away your tears “please don’t cry, I’m sorry I wanted to tell you everything but I couldn’t risk it”  he pleaded.
“Thank you” you cried launching yourself into his arms and hugging him tightly.
You felt Steve breathe out a long sigh of relief, hugging you back with equal vigour and kissing the top of your head.
“I still can’t believe you’re the head of the New York syndicate,” you say still in shock “who else knows?”
“Only a select few, Nat who you’ve already met, my best friend Bucky, and the rest of the Avengers” Steve answered brushing some hair out of your face, his fingers brushing against your cheek.
You snort with laughter “the Avengers?”
“Tony, another member of the inner circle coined it,” Steve said with a bashful smile.
You couldn’t help but chuckle “it's a good name,” you say reaching up to finally kiss him “I do have to admit this all wasn’t what I was expecting”
“I know, having no one knows who I truly am means I get to live an ordinary life outside of work” Steve explains “it means so do you, you can do what you want when you want”
“This is amazing Steve, all of this” you confess shaking your head in disbelief.
“It's all yours sweetheart, if you want it it’s yours” Steve promises.
“I want it, I want it all, I want you, I want everything” you smile up at him.
Steve beams down at you “I love you so so much”
“I love you too Steve” you grin your hands running up into his hair as he kissed you deeply “but do you mind growing the beard back?”
Steve barks out a loud laugh “anything for you sweetheart, anything for you”

May 4; Pop Rocks
Ship; Evan x Xenophilius (loverose/rosegood)
@marauders-rarepair-fics
“I’d like you to meet someone…” Pandora says, dragging her twin into the living room of her new, whimsical house.
Evan stumbles through the door behind her, laughing as he goes from her eagerness, but abruptly stops in his tracks when he sees the person his sister is talking about. He almost trips over his own feet, kicking up the carpet and crashing into her back.
Evan stares at the man with wide eyes, a man he knows far too well.
Tall, blonde, gorgeous. He’s sitting in an arm chair, clearly very comfortable, sipping on something sweet. The moment he catches Evans eye he smirks, his position shifting into a pose that makes Evans blood run hot.
Man spreading there on the armchair, arms thrown lazily over the sides, almost every button of his shirt undone, and those pants. Oh those fucking pants, deliciously tight and showing off everything.
He looks up at Evan on the other side of the room, smirking, daring. Evan is quite literally speechless, mouth so dry he feels like a fish out of water.
“This is Xeno.” Pandora declares, clearly having missed Evans entire internal panic. She waves her hands towards the man in a gesture of displaying something wonderful, and she’s right. He is wonderful. Fucking wonderful in the filthiest of ways. “Well, Xenophillius… Lovegood. Xeno Lovegood… my husband.”
Evan nods, because he knows the man’s name. He’s moaned the man’s name in- wait, “Husband?”
Well this isn’t good. Evan is fucking his sisters husband?
He’s the other woman? To his sisters husband!?
“Yeah, we got married this morning!” Pandora declared, “Met last night. It’s meant to be, you know?”
“Dora…” Evan glared at her, face so red he was sure he was going to cry, “I- I mean… you- uhm, you just met the man. I mean, are you sure…”
“Stop rambling.” Xeno said, his voice a low grovel that has Evan obeying instantly.
“Hey, don’t talk to my brother like that!” Pandora steps in, glaring at the man.
“It’s okay, Dora.” Xeno nods, taking a sip of his drink, “We know each other… hi darling.”
Evan gets impossibly redder.
“Dar-“ Pandora stops herself, eyes narrowing as she looks at Evan, and he’s mortified. Hates himself. He’s prepared to begin his grovelling. “Oh my goodness.”
“Look, Dora, please- I mean, I won’t-“
Pandora got very close to him, a strict look of determination on her face, and she began to whisper, “Just so you know, it’s a marriage of convenience. Not love. He needed an out from his family, and I am a lesbian. Now, I’ll leave you two to chat whilst I go find my girlfriend- yes, you can meet her, I’ll bring her for dinner.”
“Oh.” Evan swallowed.
Pandora giggled to herself, skipping towards the door, “We really are twins, Ev! What a load of queers, eh?”
Evan laughed, watching her pull on her coat and head away.
“I guess this is the universe’s way of telling me to keep you around, pet?” Xeno asked from the sofa, making the hairs on Evan’s neck stand at attention. He slowly turns around and sees Xeno petting his thigh, “I knew I’d find myself unable to get away from you.”
Blushing furiously, Evan races over to Xeno, his insides imploding on themselves, body tingling like fucking pop rocks popping all over. He wonders, maybe, if today’s the day he gets to keep Xeno to himself.
He ponders the thought of going through Pandora if it’s not, but he doesn’t need to come up with a plan like that in the end. Because Xeno kisses him like he’s never kissed him before, and they trade secrets and confessions of love, and Evan finds himself so fucking thankful his sisters a lesbian with a heart bigger than she knows what to do with it.

Okay so my week is only getting less conducive to reading & posting so here’s some reaction spam of random round ups throughout ToD & KoA as fast as my thumbs can type them & whatever my brain recalls cause I’ve gotta squeal this out before I implode & then go try to sleep so I don’t fully make tomorrow miserably impossible & long😂
The line in ToD about Nesryn’s nieces & nephews being the light of her life gets me every time🥹😭 I love how we got to see & meet her family, I love how that led to her further connection with Sartaq, I love how his family was close enough to stop with the whole ritualistic murder thing
Chaol’s arc was so well done I have so many thoughts but mostly my old CoM self is just glad to be back here AND YRENE TOWERS MY WYRD I LOVE HER I LOVE HER I LOVE HER literally just I LOVE HER and I want a Baast cat
Inaccessibility being one of the biggest issues is such a relatable real world problem like how have people with magic not figured this out yet I wonder the same thing everytime I go somewhere that doesn’t have ramps handicap parking sign translators etc
Chaol recognizing Celaena’s handwriting and then telling Yrene the story will forever be such a 🥹 moment
The way he healed was beautiful too, the chapter facing Aelin, the discussions with Yrene
And again just AGAIN everything about Yrene
And Nesryn who is so underrated and I just want the world for our Empress queeeeen
The tiny Easter eggs leading to everything essentially rounding up the series to Aelin doing small acts of kindness that come full circle and save everyone is so beautiful
I hate Maeve, I am now claustrophobic, and having my old Peeta days come back to me from HG
Those were some of the most painful chapters I’d ever read
Aelin def knows somethings up with Maeve and the Valg
Dorian planning to take the price is horrifying and yet also comforting and yet horrifying and the two of them plotting it out is making me nervous
KALTAINS GHOST
Dorian and Manon are absolute gold
Them and the thirteen — I mean this content is just fantastic — we’re getting some great Vesta moments
The new power is also interesting & cool
I know Aedion’s hurting but wow could you be anymore of an asshole towards Lys? Look what she did was horrible (mostly cause the whole let’s make the world think you married your cousin thing is wrong on so many levels) that aside she was just doing what HER queen said she loves Aelin she didn’t want this either and he needs to deal with his own shit and stop putting it on Lysandra I mean LYSANDRA OF ALL PEOPLE CAN THE WOMAN GET A BREAK
Darrow I hate you still
Nox I’m still not over you being back thanks buddy I missed ya
Lorcan finding Aelin first and sobbing in relief has so much depth to it I’m gonna have to discuss later
Even their bickering it’s a bit of a relief to have the spark and almost normal… not forgiven just better I guess
And then him saying he already thought Elide was powerful and he crawled for Aelin not Maeve
And all the I CARE ABOUT YOU scenes with SO MANY OF THEM we got Manorian we got Elorcan we still got Rowaelin now we got platonic stuff with Fenrys the list GOES ON
Curious what Rens figuring out cause someone’s gotta be figuring out the whole isn’t Aelin thing and I have a feeling his Lysandra obsession is more than that
Glad to see sweet Evangeline again… I’ll feel better when we get so safe Fleetfoot comes home
Anxious over my war side babies cause there REALLL deep in the bad stuff
The one thing I CAN thank SJM for is not making Fenrys hurt Aelin I spend half the time terrified that was gonna be the next play though the freaky dreams were a whole new level of fucked up not to mention the fact they stole her scars because that’s how mutilated she was and now she’s foreign to herself and my heart hurts
Also the do not yield scene😭
And Fireheart being my new fav all time term of endearment
And their (Fenrys & Aelin) blinking code … honestly I need to put it on a bookmark for frequent translation
And again Fenrys who btw BABE WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME I ABOUT LOST IT WHEN I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD BUT HE BROKE THE OATH FOR HER AND THEN THEIR HUG AND ALL OF IT AND ALSO
I started wondering the same thing about could you double oath it and cancel it out so I finally got my oath answer and lost it again because the iron “take it off” scene… idk which even came first just ow and then LIVE.
The moment Aelin realizes it’s really Rowan
And then he says can I hold you
And then that he’d love her even if she never got back to who she was
And then she’s still storing power away and a half living inferno and probably gonna go save the day
and she’s trying but she doesn’t know what’s real but Fenrys reminded her and she’s trying so hard
And she got the rings
And the I’m so tired Rowan line that broke me again
And the beautiful things glowworm starry night
Then there’s again Elide and Lorcan
The impending Morath
Dorian and Manon shenanigans
All these sub plots I’m sure are gonna be a big deal
Chaol hasn’t even caught up yet
And Yrene is PREGNANT?!
And I still can’t wait for them all to meet
And then AGAIN with the little folk
And the crown of Mab though now it’s kinda got bad vibes tbh
And all the queenlyness Aelin STILL is
And the scene where Rowan sees what would’ve been his children and her seeing how he would’ve been her mate either way
And then her hair being too long and the tattoos gone and this terribly long list
And him coming for her And her thinking he wouldn’t and his words on that
Aelin telling Rowan she didn’t break
Rowan calling Fenrys brother
Elides wisdom always saving the day
Lysandra becoming Wivern and so many things to save them all
Finally meeting the bane
Chaol going back to Anielle
Connall who we barely got to know and idk what was even real
And now no one knows where Maeve or mystery last cadre is

AO3: mourningshowers
storge (G | 4.1k | 1/1 | part one of forms of love)
Steve Harrington is claimed by his mother the same night he arrives at camp. And it happens in the middle of the campfire sing-a-long, go fucking figure. 
Storge, or familial love, refers to natural or instinctual affection, such as the love of a parent towards offspring and vice versa.
carry me home (T | 10k | 1/3)
“I missed you,” he says honestly, the words muffled into Eddie’s skin, and something within him just— Clicks into place. Eddie doesn’t waste a second in climbing up onto the bed to hold Steve, too, his hands stroking up and down his back. Steve continues to murmur, “Even though back then, I didn’t really know you—I missed you so much when you were gone.” “Hey, hey, it’s alright,” Eddie says, and he draws back if only to run his hands through Steve’s hair softly, pushing the strands back just to lay soft lips at his temple. It feels like love, so it must be. Love. He needs it. So much he’s dizzy with it. He leans into the touch. Eddie smiles against his skin. “I never left.” Steve Harrington wakes up in a world where he is loved. It's not real.
any way the wind blows (M | 34.9k | 5/15)
Steve's mind is carefully blank. It has been from the moment his father walked him to one of the castle’s balconies, the one that oversaw his home kingdom in its entirety, and said the word betrothal.  He had suppressed every single thing, every emotion and feeling and conviction that had risen inside of him that very moment, and has continued to suppress them, and he will continue well after he is officially wed tonight—most likely until he takes his final breath. He had known for a while now that this would be his fate. He wishes knowing had made it any easier. From childhood, Prince Stephen of the Northlands has been a disappointment. When his parents forged a new alliance with the Southlands, he did not expect his own hand to factor into the treaty. Yet on the dawn of his twentieth birthday he finds himself being carted off to the capital of the Southlands to marry their infamous bloody-handed warrior, Prince Kas. Prince Kas’ reputation precedes him. But upon his arrival Steve quickly realizes that the Southlands aren’t all that they seem to be, and neither is his betrothed.
silver fox (G | 2.3k | 1/1)
Steve stops short. He meets Eddie’s eyes in the water-stained mirror, then his own. A beat passes. Before he knows it he’s crowding up way too close to his own reflection, pulling at his scalp this way and that and sure enough— There are a few hairs that glint silver in the dim bathroom light. “What,” he says again, as he feels his world slowly begin to implode around him. Grey hairs at twenty-one years old, he despairs silently. At this rate he will be almost entirely grey at age thirty, probably. “Kinda super sexy of you,” Eddie is saying, manhandling him a bit out of the way so that he can spit and rinse. “Silver fox Stevie. Ha.”
only i remain (your friend, eddie) (T | 9.5k | 1/1)
Dustin, I’m awake now. Finally. And I’m alive.
Dustin, Weird things are happening. Guess that’s just par for the course in Hawkins though, so I can’t say I’m all that surprised.
Dustin, This is the last letter I’ll be able to write.
hunter's moon (T | 17k | 2/2 | part one of moonstruck)
“What about your pack?” Steve asks, because, well— Werewolves are social creatures. Humans may not be right about the specific dynamics, the leaders and the runts and pack structures, but they got the general idea right. The idea that wolves have a distinct need for life, to be surrounded by it, sustained by it. There is no point in running beneath the glow of a full moon without people you trust. People who understand what it's like. “Don’t have one,” Eddie replies stiffly. “Don’t need one. I have my uncle. And my friends. Even though they’re human, they help with the whole socialization thing.” He’s a lone wolf, Steve realizes. That’s the smell that rolls off of Eddie Munson in irrepressible waves: it’s loneliness.
convalescence (M | 23.3k | 2/3)
Eddie met Steve the year he turned twenty, in a kitchen with peeling yellow wallpaper. Further down the line, he'll remember thinking that the wallpaper was dull in comparison to the glowingly beautiful boy stood at the stove. Even if the boy had the saddest eyes Eddie had ever seen, a deep brown and frosted over like the earth in January. You can be sad and beautiful, Eddie reasoned: wilted roses do not stop being lovely just because they’re looking down instead of up. Or, it’s winter and Steve is stolen.
baby love (G | 2k | 1/1)
Eddie looks better than he has in a long while. His hair is a little shorter and curlier than it was back in March and he’s wearing a short-sleeve Night of the Living Dead t-shirt, proudly displaying the healed, jagged scars that crawl up his arms and neck. His eyes are bright, his mouth fast, his posture relaxed, and he’s— He’s holding a baby. It’s shocking how quickly Steve’s mind goes hysterically loud one moment and then carefully blank the next.
stay safe (T | 4.3k | 1/1 | part 3 of first meetings)
“My name isn’t Junior,” Junior cuts in, like that’s the thing he should be concerned about, not the fact that Steve was calling out his perceived shitty relationship with his father. “Yeah, no shit,” Steve says. “But I don’t know your real name and Hopper calls you Junior, so.” “I’m Eddie. Eddie Munson. I’ve been in your pre-calc class all semester. And gym, but I never go.” “Oh,” Steve says. He recognizes the name, has heard it before, murmured in the halls of Hawkins High or on the back patio during a house party. He’d never been able to put a face to it. Never really cared to. It’s funny how quickly things like that can change. 
brighter in the dark (T | 13.9k | 1/1)
Eddie thinks that he’s probably judged Steve too quickly. He thinks Steve’s probably full of surprises, if the past two years are anything to go by. And then, of course, Steve just has to prove him right by stepping out of his BMW in a full sailor suit fantasy that not even the most depraved recesses of Eddie’s mind could have cooked up. Jesus. He’s got the little hat and everything. Cute tiny shorts, too, that are regrettably not as short as the ones included in the Hawkins High gym uniform, but still short enough for Eddie to be able to appreciate Steve’s legs. He has nice legs. Good knees. White socks pulled halfway up his calves, for some reason, stark against his golden tan skin. Wispy little hairs that probably go up his thighs. Eddie needs to stop looking at his legs. “Eddie Munson,” Steve calls as he approaches, his voice all easy and light like they’re actually friends. “Hi.” Eddie blinks at him. Because Eddie's life can never be normal, the summer of '85 finds him working a firework stand just outside of Starcourt Mall, catching up on school work, and tutoring Steve Harrington in all things D&D.
let the light in (M | 19.4k | 1/1)
Eddie’s blood sings out for him in a way that is distinctly not-human, and that’s really the final nail in the coffin. The proverbial one, at least. He’s not so sure what happened to the real one. “What did you do?” Eddie asks, when the horror fully sets in and takes over and the dread crawls up from his chest to claw at his throat and choke. He asks, desperately, “Steve, what did you do?” “What I had to,” Steve answers, and Eddie breathes out with decayed lungs, coughs up some more soil, and weeps. Eddie wakes up.
moonbeam (T | 6.1k | 1/1 | part 2 of first meetings)
Eddie hums. “We’ll figure something out,” he tells Steve, like they’re friends or something. Like they’ll see each other somewhere after this and won’t just let their eyes skip over one another’s faces—like they’ll actually call out to one another, sit down, catch up. Steve knows better. Knows their tentative alliance doesn’t exist outside of this mediocre 24-hour diner, at nearly midnight a few days after the Fourth of July. They both know it, Eddie’s just pretending not to. Strangely enough, it doesn’t stop Steve from saying, “Sure.”
in my life (T | 9.5k | 1/1)
Eddie will say goodbye to Dustin and Mike at the same time then move on to the rest. Two birds, one stone. And then he’ll be off. Easy peasy. Except it isn’t, because when has Eddie’s life ever been easy? He drives over to the Wheeler’s place down Maple Street, parks at the curb in front of the house. Stumbles up the front steps and raps on the door a bit. Is so lost in preparing his last-minute improvised goodbye speech that he doesn’t register the fact that Mike Wheeler isn’t the one answering the door until, well— “Eddie?” Steve asks, eyebrows furrowing. Eddie gapes at him stupidly. Eddie is leaving. Steve is doing his damnedest to get him to stay. Also, Holly Wheeler is a fairy princess.
you win some, you lose some (G | 2.3k | 1/1 | part 1 of first meetings)
Eddie hums. His eyes are blazing with something Steve can't really put a name to. “What were you and Hargrove fighting over?” “None of your business.” “Title of Best Car in the Hawkins High senior parking lot? Captaincy for the game in which you throw balls into laundry baskets?” He pauses, leans forward and grins wickedly. “A girl?”
chimera (T | 5.5k | 1/1 | part 1 of transmutation)
“Friend,” the demogorgon repeats. It reaches a hand up. Long and thin and veiny. Distinctly not human. Black beneath the clawed nail. The tip of its finger comes closer and Steve stops breathing right up until it gently brushes the denim of Steve’s vest. Not Steve’s vest. Eddie’s vest. Steve looks down. Jammed onto the finger is a chunky silver ring in the shape of a tombstone.
fixer-upper (T | 20.5k | 3/3 | part 2 of love letters verse)
Steve wakes up the morning of their two-month We-Finally-Got-Our-Shit-Together anniversary to find Eddie staring at him, crouched over at the foot of the bed with his round unblinking eyes like a fucking gargoyle. It should be creepy. Steve is used to this, though, so now it’s just kind of a thing that Eddie does. “What,” Steve says groggily, wiping the drool from his mouth. “Nothing, angel, go back to sleep,” Eddie trills. Or, two months after Steve and Eddie officially get together, Steve finds himself thinking about home, his heart, and how to let go.
you all the way down (T | 6.7k | 1/1)
Steve steels himself, grips his bat tight, and whips open the door. Instead of the kids, or Wayne, or any of the remaining basketball meatheads that have made Eddie’s life a living hell since the spring, a girl is standing on the stoop. She looks about Steve’s age, maybe a couple of years older. She’s short. Petite. She has freckles all over her round face, kind of like Robin does, with the same hair length, although hers is dark and straight with a chic cut to it. She’s wearing all black, ripped jeans and big heeled boots and an oversized denim jacket. Her dark eyes are ringed with smudged eyeliner and look wide, almost frantic; her hand is poised just above the door, and the dozens of thin silver rings on her fingers glint in the early morning sunlight. “Oh,” she says, her voice all airy like she’d run out of breath. “Oh, sorry. I… I must have the wrong place.”
in the meantime (T | 13.3k | 1/1)
Now that Eddie’s officially retired, him and Steve are engaged and they live in a huge house together in a state where apparently, it is currently at least a little bit legal for two people of the same gender to adopt or foster children together. They have a family; not some ragtag mishmash of people bonded by the trauma of surviving multiple apocalypses together, but an actual family. Two parents, a slew of children, and a home. The mismatched decor of the house suddenly makes a lot more sense, the pastel yellow color of the walls in the family room clashing horribly with the stuffed crow and plastic skull on the mantelpiece. It’s so them it hurts. Mike and El went off the grid for a number of years following the death of Henry Creel. Except it seems as though nothing is truly dead and gone, because the Upside-Down reawakens more than ten years later for reasons unknown. They soon find themselves calling everyone to come back to Hawkins and stop the end of the world from happening yet again. Some people have moved on, though.
two-headed calf; twice as many stars (T | 3.6k | 1/1)
The music has stopped. Eddie mutters something about a quick smoke break and slips out the front door, wood planks creaking and settling in his wake. The old guitar is abandoned against the wall. And who would Steve be, if he didn’t follow?
follow the sun (T | 11.1k | 1/1)
Eddie walks into a Michaels Arts and Crafts Store at 4PM on a Sunday stoned out of his goddamn mind and is immediately accosted by the image of Steve Harrington crouched over in the yarn aisle, wearing glasses and an apron over what can only be described as a grandpa sweater.
love letters in your lunch (T | 20.2k | 4/4 | part 1 of love letters verse)
Rumor has it that whenever any one of the seven or so gremlins that Steve has magnanimously decided to adopt sleep over at his ridiculously large and empty house, he’ll get up extra early in the morning and pack them all lunches in brown paper bags. He’ll make them breakfast, too, and drop them off at school with a ruffle of their hair, a slap on their shoulder, or a pep-talk, depending on the kid. Not that Eddie Munson, of all people, would know anything about it. It's October and Steve starts packing Eddie lunches for work. Eddie doesn't know what to do about it.
wake up the dawn (T | 7.6k | 1/1)
The worst part about the secrets is that Steve will eventually find someone else to share them with, someone else to show his big dorky glasses and play a subdued game of Two Truths and a Lie with, and Eddie will fade into the periphery, into the background, into nothing until he dissipates completely. It’s inevitable. That doesn’t make the dull ache right smack dab into the middle of his chest any less painful. Or, Eddie considers grief, hair, secrets, lullabies, and the unattainability of dreams.

WIP Wednesday
apropos of nothing, the one time i wrote monica hicks coming back into morse's life, however briefly (this was for a version of lhbg that never really coalesced. maybe i'll repurpose it someday, as i'm very fond of their dynamic!) (oh, and win's here too.)
Morse wakes up in their bed, alone. Or at least, he thought he was alone. He nearly shouts when he sees her sitting in a chair beside his bed, darning a sock, like nothing’s changed since the last time Blenheim Vale imploded his life. 
Monica. “Good morning, dear. Dr. DeBryn gave me a ring. Said there was a stubborn patient who needed watching over, and did I have any spare time?” Her words are a little biting, but her smile is as gentle as it ever was. The perfect nurse, the perfect caregiver. 
Could’ve been the perfect girl. “I’m fine,” he groans, wiping sleep from his eyes, his head still hurting, but not as much as the night before. 
“Your doctor colleague said you hadn’t been sleeping.”
“Surely you’ve heard. Or he told you.”
“I know that your old governor died.”
“Was killed.”
“Yes. I am sorry, Morse.”
“Of all the nurses DeBryn could be friends with…”
“Actually, I volunteered. It could’ve been one of my colleagues instead.” She looks around at the room, her eyes tracing the bed, her fingers never stopping the darning of the sock – Thursday’s sock, Morse realizes – and she simply says, “DeBryn claims you and the old governor… the one who brought you back that night so many years ago… he said you were ‘close’.” There is no judgment in her voice, but not much acceptance, either. 
Morse decides to be as bold as he can be, because if he can’t be bold with Monica, who can he be bold with? “We were lovers,” he says, voice puncturing the air. “We were having an affair.” 
Monica stops darning. “You never learned, did you, Morse?” 
“No.”
...
Monica just smiles, before laughing. “I’m engaged now, did you know that?” She reveals her ringed finger. 
“I hear getting married’s back in vogue now, yes,” Morse husks out. 
“He’s a good man. I don’t think you’d two get along, but he’s a good man.” Monica hands him the darned sock, and he scrunches it up in his fist, as she begins to pack up her things. “You’re conscious, your color is back, and I will give a clean bill of health to Dr. DeBryn. Oh, and… you may have broken my heart, Morse, but hearts heal. Or at least, mine certainly did.”
“I’m glad,” and Morse can genuinely say that, without feeling jealous of Monica’s new fiance or anything. It’s not like it’s Jim Strange, or something. 
Out in the hall, he hears Monica saying ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ to someone, and he assumes it’s DeBryn, so he makes no real effort to make himself look presentable. 
It’s not DeBryn, though. 
It’s his counterpart, the other poor widowed soul, clutching a large overcoat to her chest, staring at Morse in his pajamas, tangled in a quilt, one which Thursday used to wrap himself in, more often than not. 
Morse freezes. 
Win doesn’t. “I was going through Fred’s things, trying to decide what to do with them – I’m moving in with Joan and Jim – and I found this old winter coat of his. Maybe with some tailoring it would fit you.” She sets it on the bed, before placing her hand, still bearing her wedding ring, around the frame, clenching it, knuckles white. “What a lovely bed. It’s good to see you taking care of yourself in little ways, Morse.”
Morse just nods, mouth dry, mouth parched, wishing for all the world that he could leap through one of the curtained windows in the room. 
“Well. I just came by to drop it off. Do whatever you’d like with it. I’m sure I’ll see you around Kidlington sometime. Maybe for tea or supper. Take care of yourself, Morse.” Her eyes leave something unspoken, but she rubs her wedding ring absently with her other hand before racing out of the room, and she breathes through her nose all the way out to the car where Joan is waiting, wide-eyed, where she refuses to break down. 
Unlike Morse, who grabs the coat, presses it to his face, and inhales the scent of the man who was forced to leave both him and Win Thursday behind, before wrapping himself in a coat far too big for him, for a moment, if only a moment, trying to understand how Thursday felt all those times he stayed with him and away from Win.

I hope no one minds a rather personal post, but I had an experience recently that I really feel like I need to write about/get out. (CW: Sexual content.)
Last weekend (Halloween weekend), I had the first sexual encounter that I’ve had in a long time--eight years to be exact, which is a hell of a dry spell. What made this encounter so interesting, though, was that it was with a professor of mine that I once had a huge crush on in graduate school.
(Backstory: We first met when he interviewed me when I was applying to get into my program. After I was accepted, we quickly bonded over being fans of the same band, and I always felt closer to him than any of my other professors. At the time that I was in grad school (10+ years ago), he was married to another professor of mine, though it was very much a thing of “How is he married to her?” because he was so sweet and lovely and a big fanboy, and she was very severe and stuck up and just kind of mean overall. Fast-forward to the beginning of 2020, and it turns out that she’s been cheating on him and asked for a divorce the day lockdown started. Basically, she broke his heart and imploded their family (they have 2 kids together), and I didn’t find out any of this until August of this year, when he and I had dinner together to catch up before the start of the semester.)
He first opened up to me at that dinner, even though he’d initially wanted to keep the focus on me (he’s always been a huge supporter of mine, encouraging me with my work and all the things that I am doing and saying how proud he is of me). But I could tell he needed someone to talk to, so that was when I started peeling back the layers and learning new things about him. I asked outright if we were on a date, and he said he hadn’t thought of it that way (”I wouldn’t mind if it was. Just putting that out there,” I said). He paid for my dinner, though, and when he walked me to my car after, we kissed. Several times.
Fast-forward to last weekend, which marked two months since we’d last seen each other. There was a Con happening in the area that he wanted to go to/that I’ve gone to for years. I haven’t been keen on going since Covid, but we’d spoken a few times leading up to the Con, during which he said he wanted me to “show him the ropes” since he’d always left early in the past and was planning to stay late this time.
So, we met up in the lobby of the hotel where the Con was happening, and he bought me two drinks. I introduced him to one of the celebs who was at the Con who is a friend of mine, and after that, we went back to the lobby and sat there talking for over an hour. Again, there was more peeling back of the layers and learning about him, including that he was raised to not do anything physical with a woman unless he could offer an emotional connection, and he forthrightly told me that he’s emotionally unavailable right now because of what happened with his ex and he didn’t want to mislead me. I said that as long as we’re on the same page, it’s okay if we enjoy some pleasure with each other...and it was not long after that that he mentioned he had a room there in the hotel.
The conversation had begun to turn flirty just before that, as I was wearing a cleavage-friendly dress/bra (I mean...come on) and he said that I looked good and had nice boobs, and “Maybe I’ll get to look at them later.” And when he asked if I wanted to come up to his hotel room, well...I had a pretty good idea of where things were going. (Side note: We ran into Catherine Bach from The Dukes of Hazzard going into the elevator, and she stopped and looked at us and was like, “Hey, kids,” all sultry and sexy. I didn’t even know who she was til my professor told me, and he was like “Maybe we should’ve invited her to join us” and was all flustered by her, which was adorable. Haha.)
Once we were in his hotel room, he took out a box of white wine--Sauvignon Blanc--that he’d brought with him (which is just the most college professor thing ever), and we started to disrobe and make out (snog, for my UK followers). I also had on a pair of faux-garter fishnets that I recently bought from Snag Tights, and he asked me to give him a lap dance in them and the high heels I had on. (It took me a good 30 seconds to remember how to do that, and part of the reason I remembered was thinking of a fic I started writing about David giving Michael a lap dance. Because of course my writing has influenced my sex life, and vice-versa.)
But what made the events that followed so extraordinary was that we didn’t have sex. It wasn’t that it wasn’t a possibility...it just wasn’t the main objective, as had been the case with all of my previous encounters. My professor, as it turns out, is very tactile, and spent much of the time massaging my head and back and touching my breasts and waist. So it was incredibly sensual, and he kept hugging me and holding me and I think he just missed being able to be close to someone--as did I, though I hadn’t realized it.
The most notable moment for me, though, had to be right after he finished going down on me. He was quite proud of himself for bringing me to orgasm, and was giving me all this wonderful feedback (that he’d loved the noises I’d made when I was doing stuff to him and when he was doing stuff to me, that I tasted really good, that I had beautiful eyes). But instead of lying down on the other side of the bed (as every guy I’d been with before had done), he laid his head on my hip while I stroked his hair and just...stayed.
There was no rush to move on to sex, or to “the next thing.” It was just about the moment, savoring the afterglow, and he lingered in a way I’ve never had a man do before. It was what I’d always thought was supposed to happen, but didn’t know if it would ever happen for me, because of being on the spectrum and being someone guys seem to like to have fun with but then discard.
There was also the fact that we just talked and talked--about positions we liked and disliked, body image, fantasies, turn-ons, relationships, intimacy, and so much more--and it was the most mature, adult conversation I think I’ve ever had about sex. And of course we both got such a giggle out of the whole “professor” thing (I joked that it was like something out of a Letter to Penthouse), and being able to laugh during sex was a wonderful thing, too, which I think was possible because we have such a long history together and could trust each other.
So to suddenly realize that it could be like this--sensuous, intimate, fun, honest--and that this was what I’d been missing all this time was just...a revelation. I’m trying to just take things one day at a time, letting things play out as they will, and staying focused on my life and work as I have been.
As it is right now, I have no idea what will happen next with him, but I like to think the door is open for future encounters, and I really hope it is. So my thanks to everyone who got this far, and for letting me get all of this out. We’ll see what happens...

Dear Reader diary ass post blog thing
I’m like constantly bothered I never figured out orgasms like I told myself I would do it before ever getting pregnant like idk like I wanted it to be a threshold like okay if someone takes the time to figure that out with me then I’ll have his babies but literally no lol my husband has no interest or understanding on how to do that and whereas I’m free to figure that out independently it’s like, lame bc I realize like
I still feel like I’m mildly missing out or something idk like I’ll always be reflecting on the times from before I got married where I knew I got wet and it was a whole thing I used to be like, through my jeans wet back in the day fooling around in cars at like 19 but I was just so so afraid of getting pregnant (I guess like, it’s always on my mind and since I didn’t get proper sex ed bc purity culture and conservative parents ,,) it was just very like, idk I thought that’s what happened when people had sex so I wasn’t going to need to figure out sex until I wanted that to happen
So I fucking waited and did the whole damn thing like okay I’ll figure it out with my husband
but it’s like damn now it’s literally I either figure it out independently or nothing and like I kinda do right like it’s not impossible the way it was once like a concept and not a physical thing I could describe
but its like idfk I play DnD right and our friend the DM that we jokingly call Daddy Master
when dude was like “GAH I’m like full of testerterone rn” and I was trippin balls on mushrooms fucking coping w ovulation like I had to fight every fiber in my being from being like
God what I wouldn’t give to get fucking railed by you rn and let you take that out on me
Even if it’s not even like /for me/ I feel like if I got the chance to be fucked really good like, maybe I’d figure out orgasms. But like. Alas.
Bruh I get all annoyed tryna come up w reasons to set that up, like I was like oh what if I pitch swinging or whatever the upside down pineapple people be doin but then I realized my husband would also need to be useful to trade not just me? Like I literally caught him on Ashley fucking Madison whilst I was pregnant like my brain tells me he wouldn’t be super against it but I know that’s not true like his kink is literal monogamy or some shit and he was only on there to look at stuff that felt more secret like idk that sounds unreal but my husband didn’t even have his profile set to near us , I know he had no intent to leave or whatever and we talked it out and said like if he needs whatever online we’re fine we just have to tell each other before doing shit w other people
But like neither of us have budged or tried it idk
I know in my heart he’s abiding by our rules and that I should just tell him that I’m going insane and can’t be around our guy friends whilst ovulating bc it makes me wanna implode bc I sincerely like
Dude I went years forgetting I could get wet bc I just like idk wet sexually inactive the past however many years I’ve been married but like
It all still works
I masturbate and can soak my side of the bed like I remember being like /fuck this’ll be cool when I have sex/ and it just never ever got to happen
Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh
Off to go jackoff to y’all’s dirty posts
I hate that I don’t understand it like I feel too old to be this virginal I feel like this is such a waste of good cunt like
Dude my mouth too like I had a really rough fight w bulimia as a teen so I got like no gag reflex like I can swallow some big cock hypothetically
Ugh I hate knowing I know multiple of my guy friends have giant cocks I get to do nothing about
Also bc more often than not, like, I befriend rather good men. So whereas I look at them as a piece of meat in my head, these are kinda just like
Average husband type whatever guys
That like no one seems to fucking want like why are my guy friends single
I feel like I would stop fucking them in my head if I wasn’t the only married one right like I would have double guilt or something bc I’d be wronging another woman?
Not to say I don’t feel bad and like I’m wronging my husband for mentally fucking friends like obviously there’s some 10 commandments shit about being just as bad imagining fucking your neighbors wife as doing the action itself
I think
Idk did I already write this? Oh whale. You’ll see I repeat myself a lot. A lot of my life is repetitive. Ugh.

Draw your swords, pt. 7
Tumblr media
Summary: In order to win, she might have to lose.
Warnings: angst, swearing, bit of fluff, sexual content
Part one // Part two // Part three // Part four // Part five // Part six  
=================================
Waking up to skies lit by the wintry sun is what Y/N expected. In the back of her mind, she remembers opening her eyes. Perhaps it’s her mind playing tricks on her, but she could swear she heard Aleksander’s voice softly speaking to her. 
Telling dreams from reality felt like an impossible task, but if it were a dream, would she really dream of him?
Death never crossed her mind. She was a soldier in an expendable army for most of her life, yet she never feared death. There was never a lingering sense of what if when they asked her if she believed in life after death, but she wondered now. Looking death in the eye had forced a realization upon her – she would die and achieve nothing. She married arguably the most powerful man in all of Ravka and she failed to utilize it. In the end, her name would be forgotten in history for her plans would all die with her.
Inhaling sharply, she wanted to open her eyes. A heaviness settles on her eyelids, making her groan. Her entire body felt dismantled, every nerve bare, inflicting pain.
“It’s alright”, a hand pressed to her forehead and Y/N frowns. Breathing heavily, she felt vulnerable, exposed.
Swallowing thickly, her eyes flutter open. With blurry vision, she looked up at the dark presence looming above her. Blinking fast, her lips part and before she can ask, cool liquid runs down her parched throat.
Taking a deep breath, her eyes closed again. She needed a moment to collect herself, to stop the world from spinning.
“It hurts”, she mumbles meekly.
“Shhh”, his voice reaches her. “I’m here”, she feels a gentle squeeze of his hand, “You’re safe.”
Resisting sleep, she opened her eyes once more. The sight of his tormented gaze leaves her nearly breathless. He’s still handsome, but it looks as if he’s aged ten years in just a few days.
“What happened?” Her voice is hoarse, still raspy from thirst and sleep.
“You’ve been in and out of consciousness for a week”, his forehead wrinkles, “We’ve just made it back.”
Despite the little voice in his head, the Darkling held onto his wife throughout the night. He kept her close to his chest, running his fingers through her hair. She was exhausted, injured so badly he could hear the strain her body was under with every breath she took.
Her eyes remained closed, her lips slightly parted and his pressed in a thin line. Absurd. It was absurd to think that someone like that – so delicate, so fragile, could have any power over him. It baffles him just how quickly he found himself attached to this woman who was unremarkable in every possible way – or so he told himself.
Truth be told, he couldn’t take his eyes off her since he first saw her. She radiates genuine beauty few possess, a confidence he’s never found in anyone in hundreds of years, and an air of mystery he couldn’t quite understand.
By the time morning light reached their tent, the Darkling just stared at her with care, studying every inch of her face as if it could be the last time he’ll ever be given a chance. He memorized the way she fit in his embrace, the rhythm of her beating heart in the dead of night and every labored breath as it threatened his sanity.
Anger was his best friend for so long, his shield against humanity, but his anger wasn’t all-consuming as it once was – it was directed to those who caused the swelling around her eyes and cuts across her cheekbones.
��General”, Ivan’s head peaked inside the tent only to swiftly disappear once he caught sight of a moment he was sure wasn’t meant for his eyes.
Rolling his eyes, the Darkling gently laid her head down. Caressing her cheek, he let a heavy sigh pass his lips. It’s been too long since he last felt so defenseless and helpless as he did now. He promised himself he’d never feel that way again and yet he found himself in the same cursed whirlwind of emotions as he was in when the fold came to be.
Biting his lower lip, he pushed it all down. If he’s distraught, his people would know. He cannot be emotional and still lead an army. He has to be strong – for Grisha and for Y/N.
“Ivan, we’ll have to find a healer soon”, Kirigan spoke in a hushed tone. Glancing at the tent, he felt a lump growing at the back of his throat. “I believe she’s developed a fever too.”
“Fedyor can try to cool her temperature”, Ivan offers, “He’ll slow her heart and keep her breathing. I’ll trade with him if necessary.”
Nodding, the general was satisfied with Ivan’s solution. For once, Ivan didn’t question why he wanted to protect her. This time, he was offered aid rather than words of discouragement.
“I’ll have to leave some of our own here”, Kirigan looks at the direction they came from. “The Fjerdans came too close and I need to know why. Why would they take my wife?”
Ivan lowers his voice, making sure he doesn’t wake up Y/N, “Perhaps it was a coincidence.”
“I don’t believe in coincidences. Not when her safety is at stake.”
Nodding, Ivan glances at Fedyor. He’d be the same if anyone touched his beloved. Suppressing a smile, Ivan finally realized it – no matter how vehemently the general denies it, his heart is no longer his.
“What are the orders? I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”
“Take back what they took, place their heads on a stake and wait. More should come soon and when they do, I want to know why they came so close to Little Palace and who ordered them to take my wife.”
Squinting, not in anger but to see him better, Y/N frowns, “A week?”
“Winter made it hard for us to move faster and you were in no shape to ride back.”
Letting out a shaky breath of air, she raised an eyebrow, “So you carried me?”
“Ivan and Fedyor kept you alive too.”
Wetting her chapped lips, she hesitated. Her fingers burned, itching to touch him, to intertwine with his.
“A healer should be here any minute now”, Aleksander informed, pulling his hand out of hers as if he could sense her inner battles and decided to help her by removing himself from it entirely.
“No”, she decided.
Standing abruptly, his jaw clenched. Despite his stern expression, his eyes hold all the sadness in the world, pleading eyes that both threaten and adore.
“No?” He repeats with disdain, “What do you mean by no?”
Holding her breath, she endures a sharp pain in her ribcage as she propped herself up on her elbows. Breathing heavily, she directed her determined gaze on him. “I’m human, am I not?”
Squinting at her, his lips part, “And?”
Struggling to prevent herself from laughing at the way he looked at her now, Y/N raised an eyebrow. “Humans aren’t allowed aid of a healer. We go to the medics.”
“You’re my wife”, he remarks almost instantaneously, slightly wishing she remained unconscious for a while longer. If she slept, the healer would have done their job and there would be no argument. There was no doubt about it, their truce was over.
“But I’m still a human. The rest of my kind don’t have the privilege of being married to you.” Her voice is stern, low and frustratingly righteous.
“You need a healer or you might not survive”, Aleksander insisted.
“Then let me die.” She stared at him, no signs of crumbling and it made him feel like he’s drowning.
Rubbing his forehead, the Darkling shut his eyes in frustration. After all the sleepless nights, his head felt like it would implode. All he had on his mind was her safety and now when he brought her home, she refused help.
“What do you want?”
Knitting her eyebrows, she glanced at his jaw as it clenched. “What?”
Her voice is higher, almost confused but he knew better than that. “I’ve known you for almost two months.” Two months too long, he thought. “I know when you’re trying to extort me.”
Covering her mouth, Y/N suppressed a laugh. Truth be told, it’s exactly what she’s doing, she just didn’t expect him to cave so quickly.
“Healers for the First army”, her lips twitch. Pursing her lips, she bites the soft flesh on the inside of her mouth to stop herself from smiling at all costs.
“No”, he spoke through gritted teeth.
Shrugging, she laid back down. “Alright then. I only regret I won’t be here to hear you explain my death to the Tsar and my father.”
Growling under his breath, he swipes his hand down his face. “One healer.”
“Two”, she argued, sitting up with a pained expression on her face.
“We can’t spare two”, the Darkling crosses his arms, his eyes darker than ever before.
Lifting her chin in defiance, she narrowed her eyes at her husband. “Two healers or no deal.”
Releasing a long, heavy breath in frustration, the Darkling felt his insides turn. “Two healers but only for those who can’t get better with a week long rest on their own.”
“Two healers for those who can’t get better in a few days of rest AND the same amount of food and water for the First army.”
Running a hand through his hair, the general’s nostrils flare. Cracking his neck to the left, to the right, he turned his death glare back on his wife. “Food and water are limited for Grisha as well.”
“I saw them eat grapes”, Y/N deadpans. “You have enough, so share. If the First army dies out, who will protect your precious Grisha?”
Folding her hands in her lap, she maintained eye contact with the general who refused to blink. He stared back at her, aghast. The woman was impossible! She made every word that passed her lips a contest of wills.
His jaw set, he moved closer to stand before her. He looked formidable with the relentless, firm pools of black ink for eyes devouring her with intensity, too hard in comparison to what she had seen in the tent. He looked like he could kill her without even putting a hand on her…something she still expected him to do.
What was stopping him? She was far behind enemy lines, no reinforcements and she saw what he can do – he could kill everyone who stood in his way.
“Fine”, he huffs. “Under one condition.”
Rolling her eyes, she nods, “What is it?”
“I want a kiss.”
Her eyes flashed to his. Ringed with golden bruises, she was still alluring – like a wildfire or a storm. No…she is wildfire, a storm. She is deadly and uncontrollable and slightly out of her wits and he’s asking her to be his ruination. It isn’t love, he tells himself, it’s obsession.
Raising her eyebrows, Y/N didn’t bother hiding her surprise. A kiss? Of all the things he could have asked, the big bad general who can summon shadows is asking for a kiss?
A part of her trusted Aleksander and that trust demanded intimacy. She wanted his hands on her – in her hair, his lips on her neck. She longed to be vulnerable and that’s what worried her. Trusting him, needing him, it’s bound to breed love and self-inflicted madness. If it were anything else, she would outright refuse him, but she has so many lives dependent on her answer.
“Tonight”, she decided. If her own sanity is the price to pay, she will do what she has to do.
Nodding, the Darkling retreated. Leaving the room, he opened the door for the healer to enter. Sparing her a quick look, he swallowed thickly as the thought of her willingly kissing him made his heart slam into the rib cage. Even his heart wanted to escape him as it too longed for her hands’ touch.
He didn’t make more than two steps outside the room when a Grisha joined him - one of his many spies.
“What do you have for me?”
The spy beckons him to the side, looking around wildly. “This could change everything.”
“What is it?” The Darkling speaks through gritted teeth, demanding an answer.
“There is talk”, the spy pauses, “Of a Sun Summoner.”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
Healed, bathed and properly fed, Y/N had paced their room in anticipation of his arrival. She had seen the look in his eyes earlier that day – something between them has changed.
As the door opens, her breath halts inside her throat.
“I thought you were lost”, Genya admitted. “When they found your mare, I lost hope.”
Smiling, Y/N cupped her cheek. “I did too”, she sniffled.
The Darkling felt, more than saw, her presence as he entered the room. He turned slowly, his breath held. Her hair looked darker in the candlelight, its rich color gleaming against the green velvet of fresh sheets on the bed she leaned against. He could hardly speak. The nearness of her, the quiet room, the candlelight made him question the reality of what he was looking at.
“You look better”, Aleksander managed a curt smile, looking at Y/N and her attire. The sheer nightdress she wore was back, perfectly outlining her figure.
“Why did they take you?” Genya asked, unshead tears weighing heavily on her eyes. “Did they know?”
“No”, Y/N shakes her head, “But they found out.”
“How?”
“It doesn’t matter. Kirigan killed them all.” Y/N glanced at the door where she expected her husband to appear later on.
Chewing on her bottom lip, Y/N felt her heart flip. “It helped me realize something.”
Frowning, Genya waited for Y/N to explain.
“Your General does have a heart”, she states. His request for a kiss lingered in every thought her mind could concoct.
She stared at him then slowly untied the belt of her robe and it glided languidly over her smooth skin, falling to her feet.
His gaze roamed over her as if he is unable to fully comprehend her beauty. Only when he looked back at her eyes did he see she was troubled. 
“Of course he does”, Genya chuckles, “He was most worried when you were taken. He promised he’d kill them all and bathe in their blood.”
“I think I can use that.”
Knitting her eyebrows, Genya’s frown deepened. “How?”
Pressing her lips, Y/N sighed. “In order for me to win”, she paused, “He needs to believe he did.”
“Husband”, she spoke clearly. She feigned confidence, but inside she quivered.
She had barely finished the syllable when she was in his arms, being carried to their bed, his lips already fastened to hers. She felt his lips hit hers like a tornado, his admission of burning the world in her name spinning in her head. It could have been a fever dream, but she would bet her life it wasn’t.
Holding her chin in place, he rested his forehead on hers, heaving from the kiss. She couldn’t open her eyes, clinging to him for dear life, but even with eyes closed, Y/N could hear the emotions thick in his voice.
“I don’t want to do anything you’re not willing.” He whispered against his lips, all too prepared for his hands to roam her body now.
Y/N was afraid of herself as well as of him. He could sense it as he kissed her. He’d waited a long time for her to come to him and now it seems she was more than ready to give herself to him without his talk of her marital duty.
He expected anything but to find her with her arms wide open.  But even now, as he held her, he felt no great sense of triumph.
Pulling the sheet over her, he stood. “I can wait.”
The sheet accented her shoulders and the full swelling of her breasts. The candlelight deepened the shadow above the sheet. Her bare throat pulsed with life. Her face was set in a firm, serious expression that caused her eyes to darken. Her lips were hard, as if carved of marble and he ached to part them into a smile.
Turning away, he began undressing himself for bed, wondering how he could survive a night beside her if she remains as she is now.
She averts her gaze, whispering under her breath in confusion, “Wait?”
He laid beside her, barely dressed at all. She found herself achingly aware of his presence. The only light in the room was from the flames of candles she placed across the room. The light danced on her hair, played with the shadows of her delicate collarbones. At this moment, he remembered nothing of the arrangement their marriage was meant to be. He knew only that he was in bed with a desirable woman, one he never expected to claim. She seemed too headstrong to ever give into his charm, yet she bared herself before him and he couldn’t take advantage of her.
“Why don’t you want me?” She sat up, glaring at him. She let the sheet fall as his eyes met hers, bravely fixing him with her fiery gaze.
Rolling his eyes, he looks away. How can she torment him like this with no shame?
If anything, he felt like she’s attacking him. “I don’t want to hear about how a demon took you by force for the rest of my life.”
“It’s not force if I’m giving myself willingly, is it?” She raised an eyebrow, deciding on a tactic finally. Aleksander is a general, a conqueror at heart and she saw the desire in his eyes. If there was any hope of her plan to work, she had to harness his desire to convince him he won.
Licking his lips as he cracked a smile, Aleksander nodded in surprise, unable to keep his eyes from wandering lower to her breasts. “You’re full of surprises, aren’t you?” He wanted to possess her, to claim this difficult, headstrong woman for himself. His mouth came down brutally hard on hers, claiming them, nearly bruising them.
Y/N fumbled with the sheet that wrapped around her, making Aleksander chuckle into the kiss.
“Let me help you,” Aleksander purred and tore the sheet away, pulling it from under the mattress.
Wrapping his hand around Y/N’s neck, his grip was oddly weak, gentle even. She laid nude before him, his gaze fixed on her. He stared at her in wonder; her full breasts, curvy waist, round hips. Then he looked back at her face, her eyes blazing. Her lips were reddened from his kiss, and suddenly there was no power on earth that could stop him from taking her.
“You make me feel”, he pauses in anguish, “You make me feel”, he said quietly, fiercely, “And I don’t like it. I want it to stop. Now.”
He pushed her into the mattress and Y/N saw the ruthless general in his eyes and for a moment she feared it. A general isn’t gentle at all, not like Aleksander could be. She feared the pain he’d cause and the tears that would follow. She feared what he’d do to her, but then the fear she felt dissipated as he spoke against her lips.
“I’ll go slowly.” Aleksander stopped himself, remembering she’s never had a man in her bed before and once he saw the fear in her eyes extinguish the flame he already adored, he reeled himself in.
“Your hands are bloody from murder”, she paused, “But I trust them completely.” Her voice had never been smaller, her hands never as desperate as she clung to him. She wanted to trust the sudden, overwhelming warmth in his unrelentingly tender gaze, but she still awaited the pain that was yet to come. He moved on top of her, his lips attaching to her neck gently as he pressed a kiss above her pulsating carotid, knowing she’s nervous as he felt the pace of her pulse.
With one thigh, Aleksander parted hers. He kissed her again, passionate and slow, distracting her as his hand moves lower, down to the intimate parts she never allowed another only man to see, to feel. Slipping his finger between her folds, he found if applied enough pressure a desperate moan escapes her without a fail. He feels her breathing change as he begins to rub circles, her thighs trying to push against his in a need of more friction. And that’s when control escapes her and she closes her eyes completely, letting the pleasure take over.
Unable to wait any longer, Aleksander pushed the head of his hardened length between the folds, feeling her wetness pooling over as nature’s lubricant. Feeling the membrane, he stops for a moment. Looking at her carefully for any signs of distress, he wonders if she even realizes what is about to happen.
“Do you want this?” He asks again, fearing she may change her mind.
Gripping his arm, she nods. “Yes”, she replies, breathless.
Pressing himself inside, he bows his head in the crook of her neck, growling lowly in pleasure. It’s not the first virgin he had, but it’s the first one that made him want to come on the first thrust.
“Go on.” She encourages him, surprising them both. Swallowing thickly, she sinks her nails into his back, anticipating the next thrust. It would be a lie if she said she wasn’t in pain, but she knew it would get easier as he moves again and she would feel the pleasure again – and she wanted the pleasure more than the pain.
Nodding, Aleksander starts moving in and out slowly, refusing to risk her pain for a little more pleasure he’d find in speed and his untimely release. Instead, he’s using deep, slow strokes with a relentless care for the nerve bundle between her folds. Every passing second draws louder moans from her until he feels her clench around him, his own mind blackening as he feels himself nearing the edge. She’s holding him so tightly to her body, so desperately as she unravels beneath him. Picking up pace, he finally loses control, jerking his hips to meet hers in a deep thrust only to finish deep inside her, allowing them both to breathe.
Rolling off her, Aleksander decided to stay quiet, allowing her to have control of the moment. If she wants his embrace, he’d do it for her and if she wants to talk, he’d talk to her, otherwise, he’d just sleep. It’s been so long since he truly slept – since the day they went for that ride.
He placed an arm around her for comfort alone, not pressing himself closer than necessary, closing his eyes once he realizes she’s not interested in him at all after she came down from her high.
Waiting for a few minutes, Y/N pretended to sleep. After the hurricane of emotions he’d given her, Y/N didn’t know how to feel. She wanted to relax, to sleep in bliss, but a part of her ached. She ached for who she used to be. Would her father hate her for what she just did? Would her people denounce her for sleeping with the enemy?
Her eyes opened wide, finding his are still closed. Lips quivering, she felt herself crumble as tears fled her eyes. She watched his sleeping figure and sighed deeply, telling herself to stop crying. She was supposed to be in control of him, to make him want her and crave her, yet she found it was the opposite. She didn’t love him, but she did feel a connection…perhaps it’s the kindness he showed her when he rescued her or the pleasure he had given her, but something inside her changed and the heart she hardened on purpose found a soft spot for the general.

I think I saw someone say that Jean said that Deborah doesn’t sleep with Marty when he’s married or partnered. 
No offense to Jean but I find that hard to believe. Not only because of things we’ve seen so far, but because the idea she’s cheated with him actually makes Deborah more interesting as a character, not less. Of course, that’s just my headcanon and there’s a strong possibility I’ll be proven wrong in season 3 but allow me to make my case. 
First off, there are a couple of instances that suggest Deborah and Marty have been intimate with each other when he’s with someone else. 
In 1.04, they spend the whole time in the wine cellar and are about to kiss but are interrupted by Ivy, Marty’s girlfriend. Would Deb have gone through with it? Maybe not, but it sure didn’t seem like she was going to stop him. It’s possible that Deborah may say kissing isn’t cheating, but honestly hardly anyone would agree with her and that just sounds like an excuse. 
In 1.07, she invites Marty to DJ’s birthday party and her body language and tone suggests she’s inviting him with the intention of sleeping with him which she does later that night. She only finds out Marty and Ivy broke up when he shows up which means Deborah assumed they were still together when she invited him. Again, would Deborah have not done it if they hadn’t broken up? Maybe not, but I’m not convinced. 
Deborah mocks Marty’s partners constantly. She has a clear disrespect and contempt for these women. She doesn’t take their relationship with Marty at all seriously so is that hard to believe she wouldn’t feel she’s doing anything wrong by cheating with him? She clearly didn’t care they were being screwed out of alimony in 1.05, she only cared that she could use it as blackmail. Maybe Deborah doesn’t need to respect them to not cheat, but it certainly would make it easier for her to justify it to herself. 
She answers his FaceTime call in 2.04 in a very flirtatious manner. Flirting isn’t really cheating and I get that, but it’s clear based on her body language she still has romantic intentions towards him and again she knows he’s dating someone. 
Marty almost always seems to be partnered, so the windows in which he’s single are likely very short. Realistically, would Deborah just wait until that brief window happens to sleep with him? Maybe, maybe not. 
But the greater point about all of this is that this being true gives a lot of juicy character information. The fact that one of Deborah’s greatest emotional wounds was being cheated on and she’s the other woman for a guy on and off for 30 years? That makes for an interesting story. Good characters, like people, can exhibit paradoxical behavior. They respond to their past in interesting and contradictory ways. 
To me, it would make complete sense that Deborah would do this because being the other woman could give Deborah a false sense of control and security. She can’t ever be the one cheated on again because she never allows it to get that serious for that to happen (i.e. rejecting his proposal). It’s a way to shield herself from potential hurt. 
But it also aligns with a theme in Deborah’s character arc which is that her reaction to her past hurt has been for her to go against her morals. Not only has Deborah closed herself off to connection with others, she’s also closed herself off to her true essence which includes her moral convictions. In the unaired pilot, she has clear feminist values but after her life implodes, she spends the next few decades making misogynistic jokes. The way she’s reacted to being a victim of abuse and misogyny herself has been to internalize the prejudice thrown at her and projecting onto others. And all of this has clearly worn on her. 
It’s not a great leap to assume this extends to sleeping with a married or partnered man despite, in theory, never wanting other women to experience what she did.

praise you
Tumblr media
A/N: Kicking my fic blog off with my husband, my baby, my sweet boy, Francisco Morales. I would die/kill for that man, no questions asked. I’ve been so scared to do this and share my writing but I feel good today so I’m doing this before I change my mind! I hope you enjoy, and I have so much more to come!
Pairing: Frankie ‘Catfish’ Morales/f!reader
Word count: 1.4k
Warnings: swearing and some (lots) kisses, super brief mention of love making but nothing descriptive (I’m new to warnings so please let me know if I ever miss anything and I’ll add it asap!)
+++
It wasn’t meant to just come out like it did.
There was a plan. A whole plan that had been running through his mind for the last couple months. He had thought through every little detail, obsessed over every second that would count down to it. It should be perfect. It would be perfect, because you didn’t deserve anything less. But here he was, with his big fucking mouth, ruining everything.
He tries to swallow down the small flicker of panic, the steady rise of self-loathing. Maybe it could be remedied? Maybe if he just started laughing, you would think it was a joke and let it go.
But he couldn’t bring himself to laugh, couldn’t even force out a chuckle. His mouth was dry and he couldn’t bring himself to look away from your wide eyes. They were shining in the morning sunlight drifting in through the window, your skin glowing in the soft warm rays. Beautiful.
Fuck it.
He had come this far, might as well go all out. His legs wobble slightly as he slowly falls to a single knee, right in the middle of the kitchen.
The ring! Shit.
He sees it in his mind, remembers burying it in a hurry when he heard your soft footfalls on the stairs and your sweet voice calling out to him. You had almost caught him. Almost. He had only just slammed the drawer shut when you had reached the doorway to your shared bedroom, the soft smile curling your lips enough to make him fall in love with you all over again. You had reached out for him, humming softly in pure contentment as he took you into his arms and swayed you slightly. It had been a rough day at work, which had quickly melted away the second he ordered a pizza and chucked Netflix on, satisfied to just snuggle on the couch under a blanket.
Frankie… your sweet voice is calling to him, curious and questioning, and he inhales sharply, thoughts whirling into a hazy blur as he thinks he’ll never believe he deserves the amount of love you pour into his name alone.
The pure concept of you loving him and him alone is enough to bring tears to his eyes. He feels it. Every time you hold him, kiss him, make love to him… he drowns in it. Revels in it. Your pure, unadulterated adoration for him never fails to take his breath away, and he hopes you feel his devotion to you just as strongly.
Surely you could feel it. Surely you could feel it in the way he lingers close after kissing you, softly nuzzling his nose against yours as your gazes stayed locked in a soft battle of appreciation for the other. Or in the way he would dance his fingers across your skin in pure wonderment, tracing every blemish, scar and stretchmark with a tenderness only you could bring out in him. Surely you could feel how hard and fast you make his heart beat when you two slow down in between flurries of harsh kisses and greedy hands, when you both just stopped to just… to just be.
Words. He needs words.
He had a speech and everything. He had kept a small notebook in his jeans for weeks, pulling it out and adding and tweaking words whenever he would find a moment to himself throughout the day at work. He had read over it a thousand times, could see each word scrawled over the lined pages flash in his mind, but why couldn’t he get the words out of his mouth?
“You –” he stops, almost as if trying to catch his breath. You wait, patient as ever. Always so patient, always so completely and utterly devoted to him. “You are everything to me.” He whispers, and his teeth mash together as he tries to control the lump quickly building in his throat. Your lips twitch into a small, shy smile as your eyes briefly fall to the floor before flicking back up and focusing on him. He draws in a slow breath to steady his suddenly shaking hands.
“I don’t know how hard you hit your head to want to stick around with me this long, but I thank whoever’s out there every day that you do, and I… I hope with everything I have that you’ll want to stay.” His voice wavers with the tears quickly building in his eyes but he can’t bring himself to care. Not when you’re looking at him like that… like he had personally hung each and every star in the night sky you admired every night.
“Always,” you whisper to him, smile widening as he grins up at you.
“You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I… I can’t imagine a life, my life, without you in it. I don’t know how you do it, but you just… you just make my world so much brighter, make everything so much better, and I want to spend every day for the rest of my life showing you how much you mean to me. So, will… will you marry me?”
You sniffle as you fall to the floor in front of him, cradling his tear-streaked face softly between your hands. Francisco… your voice is gentle as it coos to him, thumbs tracing his cheeks. He’s putty in your hands. He knows it. The guys know it. He wants the world to know it. You shuffle closer, placing soft kiss after kiss along his forehead, nose, chin, wherever you could reach.
“Of course, I will.”
He damn near implodes when you answer. If all the pain he had endured during his life had led up to this moment, he would happily live it over and over. His hand moves to cup the back of your neck, quickly pulling you in to press his lips against yours in desperation. You melt into it instantly, matching his fervent pace and then some as you wind a hand in his ruffled curls. I love you. The words fall effortlessly from his mouth again and again and it isn’t long before you’re giggling into his lips, returning the sentiment easily as your arms wind around him tightly.
“This wasn’t how I planned this,” he admits quietly, thinking of the breakfast mess crowding the counter tops, the unkept bed hair falling into his eyes and the old tattered flannelette pyjama pants hanging from his hips. You pull back, face near split from how wide you’re smiling.
“It’s perfect. You’re perfect.”
His cheeks warm before a thought suddenly slams into him like a freight train.
“Shit. Shit! Stay right here.” He’s up and out of the room before you can blink, leaving you abandoned on your knees on the cool tile floor in the middle of the kitchen. You call after him, ears straining as you listen to the muted thuds from the floor above you before heavy steps are rushing down the stairs.
He’s flustered when he returns, hands fumbling with something as he drops back in front of you, breathless and giddy as he presents you with a shiny band embedded into a smooth velvet cushion, the beautifully set stones shining in the morning light. His fingers gently pinch it from padding before he’s tossing the dark hinged box over his shoulder without a care as it clatters noisily to the ground somewhere behind him. He beams at your giggle, grinning as he reaches for your hand and slips the ring carefully onto your finger.
“Perfect fit…” he whispers, “… just like us.”
“Ugh, cheeseball.” You groan quietly with a languid smile, nuzzling into the soft kisses he was pressing to your cheeks.
“What are you talking about – you love it.” He grins, watery eyed and flushed, cheeks darkening a little more when you brush his hair back and stroke his cheeks. He brings your hand to his mouth, lips pressing sweetly against the cool band wrapped around your digit before moving to kiss along your knuckles. “I love you, baby.”
“I love you, too, fiancé.”
He blinks in surprise before grinning, leaning forward to kiss you deeply. “Call me that again.”
“Fiancé,” you murmur, a wave of warmth rushing over you as he groans softly against your lips. He nips at your bottom lip, grinning when you whine quietly. His voice is a deep rasp when he speaks against your skin, kissing further along your jaw and up to your ear. Again. You laugh quietly, “Francisco?”
He hums in question, too busy to answer properly as he kisses and nips the sensitive skin on your throat.
“I think the food’s burning.”
“Shit.”

We Don’t Talk About Bruno (But She Does) Part 1- Bruno Madrigal x OC
Bruno Madrigal x Adriana Cruz
Description: Mirabel is looking for answers about her Tio Bruno and Dolores points her to someone who (arguably) knew him better than anyone else: Adriana
Word Count: 2.3k
“We don’t talk about Bruno.” That phrase had been repeated so much that Mirabel worried that she would be hearing it in her sleep. She had been looking for answers all day, yet no one seemed willing to look past the fact that they don’t like to talk about Bruno. It was frustrating, she needed answers now. But who else could she ask?
“Why don’t you try Tia Adriana?” Dolores suggested upon hearing her cousin’s displeased grumbles. “She probably knows about Bruno.” Mirabel lit up at the girl’s suggestion, offering her a quick thanks before running back into town. If she knew her tia (which she did), she knew that she would be in the square telling stories to children while their parents shopped. She stopped in the square, glancing around with determined eyes.
Just like she suspected, Adriana was standing near a fruit stall talking animatedly to a small group of children. From the sound of it she was nearing the end of her story.
“And with one kiss upon Snow White’s dead lips, the Prince broke the spell!” She exclaimed excitedly. “She awoke with a start, then kissed her Prince in thanks. They went back to his castle, got married, and lived happily ever after. The end.” She smiled brightly as the children, along with the parents who had been listening, around her cheered, sharing her excitement. A giggle left her lips as they applauded, then jokingly bowed. It was when she stood up again that she noticed her niece waiting for her.
“Alright niños y niñas, I’ll be back later and tomorrow, so don’t complain if you miss out on another story! Adios!” With one last wave she moved past the children as they began getting up and walked over to Mirabel.
“Hola Mariposa,” she greeted happily, offering the girl a small hug before grabbing her basket full of bread, cheese and fruit. “Is there something I can help you with?” Mirabel hesitated for a moment, but ultimately just cut to the chase.
“Tia Adriana, what do you know about my Tio Bruno?” The woman, not expecting such a question, nearly stumbled over her own feet and dropped her basket. A few apples rolled away that she and Mirabel quickly picked up.
“Tia, are you okay?” She asked worriedly as she picked up the basket. Adriana nodded as she placed the rogue apples inside before taking it.
“I’m fine querida, but,” she paused then glanced around before looking at her niece. “Why do you want to know about Bruno all of a sudden?” Mirabel, despite her tia’s stumble, was happy with her response. It was a change from people telling her that they didn’t talk about Bruno.
“Well, let’s just say… hypothetically of course… that Bruno had a vision about you. Is it always going to be bad?” Adriana shook her head amusedly at her, then sighed softly as she began walking away.
“You know, your Tio isn't really as bad as the town is saying he is,” she started as Mirabel began following her. “He had his good moments more often than people cared to admit.”
“Really?” Mirabel questioned confusedly, earning a nod.
“Oh yeah,” she responded without hesitation. “Some of his predictions were common sense.”
“But, what about Tia Pepa’s wedding day?” The young Madrigal asked.
“That wasn’t a prediction, Bruno just accidentally said the wrong thing to her,” Adriana explained. “He meant to say that he could see her beginning to worry so much that she had a cloud forming.”
“What about Señora Osma’s goldfish?”
“Goldfish aren’t supposed to live in fishbowls, Mirabel. They don't grow to their surroundings, they stop growing as a survival mechanism, but there's a catch, their organs don't stop growing. Basically putting a goldfish in a bowl will make them implode. That’s what happened to her fish.”
“Señor Ortiz’s gut?”
“He stress ate until it came back to bite him.”
“And Señor Flores?”
“I told him that he was allergic to that shampoo,” Adriana shook her head as they stopped in front of her house. “It’s not like saying those predictions would make them come true querida, they would have happened either way. Besides, not all his predictions were bad. He predicted that I would discover the love of my life,” she concluded as they walked in.
“You found the love of your life?” The girl asked eagerly before her smile faded. “Wait, where is he then?” Adriana stopped at her kitchen counter, setting her basket down with a small sigh.
“He disappeared ten years ago, no one’s seen him since.” Mirabel’s eyes widened in realization.
“Wait, you’re saying that you and Tio Bruno-“
“Were together” the woman concluded, facing her with a small sad smile. “Yes. That’s why you’ve always known me as your Tia. We were engaged before his disappearance, going to be married just a month later. He said that he had to go check on a vision that your Abuela asked from him the day of your gifting ceremony, and that he’d meet me downstairs when the ceremony started, but he never showed. I didn’t realize he was gone until I walked back to our room,” she paused to take a shaky breath as tears welled up in her eyes, but she pushed them back and continued. “He was nowhere to be found. I didn’t have any proof, but I always suspected that it had something to do with that vision.”
“Did you ever see what it was?” Mirabel questioned, a sympathetic look on her face. The woman shook her head then looked out of the window in front of her thoughtfully.
“I never found it before I moved out,” she answered, not kidding her niece’s confused expression. “After we found out that your Tio was gone, I realized that Casita just held too many memories for me to stay, especially staying in Bruno’s room. So, your family offered to help me make a house for myself and I’ve lived here ever since.” The girl nodded with a sympathetic look, which Adriana brushed off.
“Why do you want to know this Mariposa? Where did this even come from?” She questioned, beginning to put her groceries away. At that, she could feel the girl become nervous, which made her look at Mirabel worriedly. “Is something wrong?”
“Oh no, nothing’s wrong. I was just curious,” the girl responded maybe a bit too quickly. Adriana elected to ignore it, knowing that Mirabel would tell her when she was ready.
“Are you coming to Isabela’s engagement tonight?” Mirabel asked, effectively changing the subject.
“I wouldn’t miss it,” she responded simply. “Speaking of which, you should probably go help your family get everything ready. And tell your mama that I’ll be bringing over sopapilla cheesecake.” Mirabel nodded enthusiastically, silently happy that her Tia hadn’t pressed the matter at hand, and began heading to the door.
“Will do. See you later Tia!” Adriana waved to her just before the door shut, then shook her head with an amused smile as she went back to her previous task. That had certainly been interesting.
Things had only gotten worse from there. Adriana arrived at the Casita just before the Guzmans arrived, sopapilla cheesecake in hand ready to be set out. The table had already been set, so all she had to do was sit with the rest of the family. She opted for the seat at the foot of the table since she technically wasn’t blood related. Augustín, Dolores and Mirabel sat down along with the Guzmans and dinner was set out.
“The Madrigals and the Guzmans would be perfect for our Encanto,” Alma said as she stood at the head of the table.
“Absolutely,” Señora Guzman responded happily. “Now let’s hope tonight isn’t a complete and total disaster.” Though Adriana could tell she was joking, she could feel several people’s nerves spike a bit. She used her power to ease those feelings however and dinner was served. It took her no time at all to notice Mirabel’s rather tense mannerisms. She refused to take her eyes off of Dolores, even as she served herself some food. The woman nudged her foot under the table, but Mirabel didn’t even spare her a glance. So, Adriana looked to Augustín.
“Is Mirabel okay?” She whispered into the man’s ear. Augustín had no time to respond before Adriana noticed Dolores whispering something into Camilo’s ear. She became concerned when the boy coughed several times, turning into several people with each cough before finally ending on his normal face, though his eyes were now turned outward like a fish. Alma and Señora Guzman also noticed, but the former just laughed it off and poured the other woman more wine.
When Adriana looked back at Camilo, he was now whispering something into his father’s ear. Upon hearing what his son had to say Félix promptly spit out his drink all over their guests. ‘What is going on?’ Adriana thought to herself as she watched Félix now whisper into Pepa’s ear. Immediately a cloud formed over the woman’s head, which prompted Alma to speak.
“Pepa, your cloud,” she commented. “Clear skies, clear skies,” the woman muttered as she began playing with her hair.
“Adriana,” Alma urged, eyes glancing at Pepa for a second before looking at her pleadingly. The girl nodded, using her powers to calm the woman, though it didn’t last long as Pepa was now whispering into Julietta’s ear. At that, Julietta looked at Mirabel in shock. Okay, something was definitely wrong here. When Adriana looked at Mirabel, she was surprised to see her head under the table. It wasn’t until Mariano called her name that she sat up normally (not without hitting her head on the edge of the table first).
“Are you okay?” The boy asked, sounding confused and concerned. Mirabel stuttered a response before Augustín took her hand and nodded.
“Everything’s great, she’s just...excited!” He exclaimed, laughing nervously. “For you to propose, which you should do as fast as you can.” Now it was Mariano’s turn to stutter as he thought of a response.
“Uh, I was actually gonna-“
“You were actually gonna! That’s great,” Mirabel cut him off, turning Isabela’s chair to face him. “Well, might want to get in with it, go ahead.” The boy looked unsure, so Señora Guzman spoke up with a small chuckle.
“Well, since everyone here has a talent, my Mariano wanted to start off with a song. Uh, Luisa,” she called softly, which made the girl in question look up from her plate. “Could you go get the piano for us?” Luisa’s lip quivered for a moment before she nodded, muttering a tearful okay before standing and walking off. Adriana watched her worriedly, but her attention was veered off as Mirabel said something about how it was tradition to sing after a proposal as she pushed the boy down onto one knee. That was a lie of course, which confused the girl.
“Isabela, most graceful of all the Madrigals,” he started nervously, but was cut off when Mirabel suddenly threw herself onto the floor behind him. Everyone stared at her in shock, but she just smiled awkwardly then gestured for him to continue.
“Most perfect flower in all the Encanto,” he continued slowly, ignoring Luisa as she attempted to bring the piano inside (making an awful scraping noise in the process). “Will you marry me?” He finally concluded as Mirabel suddenly dove under the table, yelling out. At the same time Luisa seemed to give up because she fell to the ground crying.
“Luisa!” Adriana stood up, then promptly ducked as a toucan, which had been scared by another one of Pepa’s storm clouds, suddenly flew off. It flew over Señora Guzman’s head and out the window as Alma stood up.
“What is happening?” She demanded.
“Mirabel found Bruno’s vision, she’s in it, she’s gonna destroy the magic and we’re all doomed!” She blurted out in one breath as she covered her ears. As if on cue, the coatis (which she hadn’t even realized was there), pulled the vision up onto the table. Mirabel attempted to snatch it, but ended up accidentally sliding it sliding down the table, stopping right in front of Alma.
Everyone stared at it in shock, then at Mirabel. Their gaze was broken when several loud cracks were heard. Cracks rippled seemingly from Mirabel around the whole room and everyone with powers was affected. The ground began cracking under Isabela who, in her shock, shot a bunch of vines directly into Mariano’s face, hitting him in the nose. Dolores covered her ears once again, and different parts of Camilo kept turning into someone else. Adriana gasped as she felt just about every emotion hit her at once, which shocked her enough for her to fall back into her chair. Augustín rested a hand on her shoulder, but they were both distracted as Pepa’s storm cloud opened up, unleashing a torrent of water onto the whole table. As the scared animals raced out, they blew open the windows where they could see the whole town out front, ready to celebrate.
“Felicidades!” They exclaimed just before they realized what was going on. Adriana could only watch in shock as the Guzmans stood and left, being careful to avoid the running animals. Alma was running after them immediately, begging for them to come back as Mirabel followed them.
“Señora, por favor!”
“Abuela, please- there’s gotta be an explanation,” Mirabel called shortly before Isabela shoved past her, yelling that she hated her. Luisa wasn’t far behind her, crying that she was a loser as Augustín and Julietta followed her to comfort her. Pepa was out next, her weather going crazy.
“What did you do?” She exclaimed as she passed Mirabel, Félix following her. More cracks rippled through the house as Mirabel desperately answered.
“I’m not doing anything! It’s Bruno’s vision, it’s-“ Adriana stood and walked over to her when she stopped, staring at her curiously.
“Mariposa?” Mirabel didn’t answer and instead just moved past her, seemingly following something.
“Mirabel?” She called worriedly shortly before the girl took off. In an instant Adriana was following her, trying to figure out what the girl was pursuing.
“Mirabel, wait!”

The final step
This is it boys! The final part! After this, I have no other fic to post, so I’ll probably return to original work or silence lol. But! I’ll try to post what I can to feed ya’ll content!
cw: descriptions of murder, Hint o’ Hisoka, reader’s pregnant
Previous part: here
First part: here
Illumi spent a while helping you pack before the butlers he'd requested showed up, than he returned to his home across the street to pack up as well. After all, with you now on the track to marry him, he would no longer need the home. Though, maybe we could keep it, and use it as something of a vacation spot to escape mother's unrelenting nagging. He mused.
While he was shoving his clothes into his bag and mulling over that option, he spoke to said mother, or, more-so half listened to Kikyo squeal and giggle in pure delight at the news of your pregnancy.        "Mother, please refrain from shrieking in my ear," he said when his excitable mother had to stop for breath,         "I'm sorry dear, but this is such good news! Your father and I were hoping this woman would prove to be a good wife, and while I will say it's a little soon for a baby, this is good news nonetheless!" She squealed, making the assassin huff,        "I know, I should've waited until after I'd married her to consummate," Kikyo about blew a raspberry at his words, making him blink,        "Illumi, we don't care if you decide to have sex before you get married. My only concern is that this woman isn't the right one for you." she said, "Your father would prefer that you choose a woman a bit more suited for our line of work, but if she's really as submissive as you described, I'm sure she'll be a fine addition to the family. Oh! And I'm sure your child will be absolutely adorable! I can't wait to put little booties on them, and absolutely dote on them like you no longer let me do-"          "Mother," Illumi said, though his mother knew despite his monotone voice that he was annoyed.          "Well, you don't." she sniffed before changing the subject. "Anyway, when are you bringing her home? I want to meet her already!" she said, going into a bit of a rant over his failure to even show Kikyo a picture of you, but her son was no longer listening. Instead, Illumi's attention was turned to his surroundings, his senses on high alert from the waves of malicious intent he felt so suddenly from the direction of your home.         "Mother, was Hisoka released?" Illumi asked, his mother's voice dying at the palpable tension coming through the phone,         "I believe so? Your grandfather was apparently sick of the creep, so he had him thrown out." she offered a second before Illumi hung up. In a flash, the assassin was across the street at your home, his needles at the ready. As soon as he set foot in the house, the assassin was greeted with the familiar scent of blood hanging in the air like a heavy blanket and a silence that ate at his nerves. Your home was quiet. too quiet. It about drove the assassin insane with the possible reasons behind the lack of life. Of course, the butlers that were tasked with helping you pack your clothes were dead, so that helped to explain the stifling quiet, but the sight of the help mercilessly slaughtered didn't justify the way Illumi's heart raced and a strange feeling gripped at his throat until he felt he couldn't breathe. The only time that feeling seemed to finally leave, only to be replaced with wrath, was when the casually dressed assassin slipped into your bathroom, his needles poised to be thrown, and he was met with the one person he didn't want to see inside of your home.         "Hisoka." he hissed, his dark eyes narrowing and his aura reflecting the heated rage that boiled his blood at the sight of the brightly colored magician, who turned to look at him lazily, frowning as if the soulless man was as equally unwanted as the pink haired man was,         "Before you maul me and get no answers, I didn't hurt your precious (y/n)." He assured, plucking one of his signature playing cards and licking the blood of a butler from it before continuing "I believe she crawled out of the bathroom window. So, I suggest you go get her back before you focus on me. Don't want her to get too far away now, do we?" The magician pouted, knowing damned well Illumi wouldn't bother with him after that news, which meant Illumi wouldn't be fighting him, yet. The assassin did, in fact, leave the magician at your house, going out instead to find you. If the help wasn't so fucking incompetent this would be a lot easier. He thought as he forced his wrathful aura into zetsu while he coldly rushed by the corpses and returned outside to prowl down the chilly streets of town, turning that edgy, strangling, anxiety feeling in his throat into energy to fuel his possessive hunt for his wife, his property. On the bright side of the situation though, you were nothing compared to the dark-haired predator, so he had that to cool his unhinged emotions before running into you. You were a recluse, you likely didn't know your way around town that well, so your trail was pretty obvious. In times of life threatening danger, people, more-so women, usually went to crowded areas after all, and you didn't know of many places that would offer help, so you were likely going to head to your grocery store. Knowing that, Illumi was able to get ahead of you, scooping you up before you could slow from a mad dash fuelled by mortal terror to a speed at which you could avoid slamming into the hunter's chest.        "(y/n)," he growled, shaking you once, firmly, to put a stop to your flailing and squirming, "I am this close to jamming one of my needles into your brain. STOP IT." He ordered, the force of slightly panicked rage in his words making you freeze and stare up in terror at him with your wide (e/c) eyes. For a few seconds you stared at one another, your form squished to his in an inescapable grip while his soulless eyes glared down at you until you finally burst into tears.       "Please! Just let me go!" You plead, your voice quivering with barely restrained sobs, so he took a deep breath and ran his thumb down your already tear-stained cheek,       "Why would I do that? I'm only trying to keep you and our baby safe." he reminded you, but you shook your head vigorously, making bits of your (h/l), (h/c) hair stick to your face,        "You're scaring me! Please let me go, I'm begging you Illumi." you cried, trying to shake his comforting hug off,        "I thought you loved me," he said, not releasing you even when your upset tantrum stuttered to a stop. For a moment, you seemed conflicted, but than closed your eyes and tried to kick him to no avail,         "I...I don't know anymore. You've...become so scary recently, I have to p-put my own well being ahead of any shallow attraction." you sniffled, digging your nails into his t-shirt. He brushed a strand of hair from your (s/c) face as you shook against him          "(y/n), I would never do anything to harm you or our baby unless you force me to. Just behave and act like you did before figuring out you were pregnant, everything will be okay." he assured, making his voice as comforting, soft, and loving as he could manage to try and sooth you. Thankfully, he could see the fear and rebellion in your (e/c) eyes dim, returning to their usual, gorgeously submissive state. After that, you only gave one final attempt at escaping his arms before finally giving up. "Good girl, (y/n). Now, let's go home. My mother is about to implode in her excitement to meet you." After that, Illumi returned to the house he had bought for his bag of clothes, then made a beeline for the Zoldyck estate. On the trip there, the long haired assassin tried to make you happy, providing you food, comfortable places to sleep when need-be, and finding you little gifts related to your hobbies to try and entertain and make you smile. He could tell that you were still uncomfortable with him, but you slowly began to warm back up to him when your human need for companionship demanded it. However, the one thing he couldn't save you from or prepare you for, was Kikyo. The woman about tackled Illumi when he pushed open the testing gates, but as soon as you were through and safely on Zoldyck land with your husband protectively at your side, his mother began her fussing.       "She looks so ill! Illumi, did you make sure she's physically healthy?"       "She's not much to look at, maybe if she tried more make-up and clothes that fit her better?"       "Illumi, where are her things? Did you just snatch her up off of the street while she was pregnant?!" The only thing that saved you and Illumi from his mother's judgements and chiding was a firm look from his father, Silva, who was making a rare appearance to greet you in a much calmer manner.       "To answer your questions, I will get the family doctor to look her over, and her things had to be left. A threat came up and I needed to bring her here before harm befell her, so I will need to buy her new clothes." The dead eyed assassin assured his mother, who obviously had more hen pecking to do, but she refrained under the stern look of her husband. After that, Illumi got you nicely settled in to his bedroom, and while you did put up some more of a fight over staying there, you mostly accepted your role as his wife-to-be and mother of his child rather easily. He knew you were simply acting out from your hormones and the stress of your situation, so he did his best to keep his temper with you.         "It'll be okay (y/n), once you get comfortable here, we'll be happy." Illumi soothed one night after one of your bouts of sobbing and fighting to escape while he sat, cross-legged with you in his lap and his hands rubbing your belly. You weren't showing much yet, but it still pleased him greatly to now have his wife and child safely at home. That's right, he thought, letting a rare smile spread across his usually unreadable face, you're home now, (y/n)...

My thoughts on Monday under the cut…
I spent a week in Greece almost 15 years ago, and I loved it. This movie makes me what to go back. I wasn’t sure if I’d get to see it in theaters because the two main chains I go to weren’t carrying it. Thankfully, one of the “premium” theaters in Houston has it, and a friend and I went to the first showing earlier today at 7:00 pm. Masked the entire time and completely isolated from others in a pod with recliners. It was delightful (and pricey). Seeing Sebastian Stan on the big screen in this movie was worth every penny.
 Before I dissect the movie, it has to be said. Sebastian Stan is gorgeous, and this movie showcases that in every shot of him. There are closeups and a lot of skin and scruff and charm and smiles that are beautifully shot. So. Much. Pretty.
 Speaking of pretty—the cinematography. Chef’s kiss. Gorgeous blue skies and blue sea. It looks exactly like I remember. Beautiful. Also, lots of ouzo. Chloe’s shudder when she does a shot is so relatable. That stuff is disgusting, and, man, it burns all the way down.
 The movie itself is solid. The story centers around a relationship that mimics a train wreck (and the soundtrack does, too)—fascinating, speedy, and gripping. I shook my head many, many, many times. So many choices made that just weren’t good ideas. The thing is that pretty much all of them were understandable for these characters. I kept thinking over and over, “bless their hearts.”
 Yes, there is a lot of nudity. Yes, there is (very brief) full frontal. I did not find it distracting or out of place. There’s also a lot of sex. For the most part, those scenes were organic and made sense. Only one was a little bit surprising. That blue couch… Major side eye.
 Mickey ended up with a twist I didn’t know was coming, and that helped humanize him as more than a frat boy with Peter Pan syndrome. He’s charming and manipulative and loving and jealous and insecure. I know men like him, and some of my friends are married to them. They are wonderful people, and I could never live with any of them (not that I would live with a friend’s husband, but you know what I mean). The ending shot of him is so full of hope and sweetness and tenderness, and I was mad because I knew it was the end of the movie. I wanted to see where that went, and now I’ll only be able to imagine it. People who don’t like open endings will hate this one, but I thought it was completely apropos for Monday. Sebastian plays Mickey will all the nuance and charm and insecurity I expected. He does wounded so well. He does chaotic even better.
 Denise Gough is a fantastic actor. Chloe, her character, was an enigma to me. She’s supposed to be the serious, responsible one that tempers Mickey’s wild side, but the two times when things go off the rails, she’s the instigator. I find those choices fascinating and completely understandable for someone who’s been holding things together and really desperately wants to cut loose. Unfortunately, when she does that with Mickey, it’s bad, bad, bad, bad.
 MAJOR SPOILERS
 Mickey’s got a six-year-old son, and the only way the mother will let him see his kid is if he and Chloe are physically together and in a committed relationship. Because Chloe knows that, she’s trapped. If she leaves, Mickey loses visitation rights with his son. If she stays, she might implode. Together, the two are both wonderful and absolutely terrible for each other.
 Chloe gets pregnant and has an abortion without telling Mickey. I assume it was his, but it could have been Chloe’s ex-boyfriend’s. It’s not that easy to figure out how much time has passed, but it’s at least a few months for the entire movie. When she tells Mickey and he isn’t upset, she’s furious, but they’re interrupted and end up running back to Mickey’s motorcycle. He seems ready to drive them home, but Chloe wants to go to the beach—naked on a motorcycle. It’s a really bad plan. They’re high and drunk. Mickey hesitates and then agrees. All hell breaks loose, which leads to Monday—the reality of their messed up but very real relationship.
 Mickey interrupts the entertainment at a wedding to drunkenly ask Chloe to marry him. He’s just been confronted by his friend about ruining everything good in his life and not to do it. He’s jealous of Chloe’s ex, who happens to also be at the wedding. He’s scared to death of messing things up, so of course he does exactly that. It’s cringe-worthy, and I watched it through my fingers due to secondhand embarrassment. There’s a shot when Mickey’s looking in a mirror, and we can see all the pain and hurt and fear in him. It was like seeing Bucky in Greece.
 Why is Chloe’s ex-boyfriend so awful? We don’t know, but it’s clear it was a bad breakup, which makes her rebound with Mickey understandable. The problem is that both of them ended up falling in love, and now they can’t figure out how to fix it. I hope they do. I really do, because the affection and love and chemistry they have is beautiful when they’re open and honest and authentic with each other.
 Mickey’s ex-bandmate…I don’t even know what to say about her. She’s a nightmare. And Chloe’s friend Stephanie needs to a major attitude adjustment. Baby Mama (I don’t remember her name) is super angry. These three characters are just wow.
 There are some gaps. There’s not a complex plot, but this movie puts the relationship of two flawed but genuinely good-hearted people at the forefront and asks us to cheer for them when they aren’t easy to cheer for. In short, Monday is a movie that anyone who’s been in love can understand if they’ve ever been absolutely terrified to lose the person they love. The desperation to hold onto something good is painful to watch, but it’s a gorgeous journey.
