#I'll be here to take questions about colin all day

[adhd-merlin]

it's the tasteful cleavage. it's that top button holding on for dear life. it's the colour of his shirt bringing out his beautiful blue eyes. it's the muscle definition. the excellent shoulders-to-chest ratio. the rolled up sleeves. sorry that wasn't an actual question was it

[moirindeclermont]

Since I'm having fun with these take on BridgertonS3 I've asked the best comunity on Tumblr to give me some more Colin "I'm unhinged" Bridgerton moments, so I have some more inspiration (thank you @rottentiger-art ).

Let's recap the wildest day the Ton has ever seen, and they thought Anthony was the wild one (while we know it's all downhill from here on).

I'll start even a moment before the ball, because Colin doesn't want to got the ball at all and he is snappy with Violet. After that he contemplates a candle for along time, thinking montage style of all the moments with Pen, until he decides that he's done thinking and it's time to acting. Love that for him.

Of course, he decided the most unhinged, chaotic course of action is to stop mid dance to talk with Pen. Debling who? She could have been dancing with the Pope and it would not matter for Colin. Then, he decided to make a waste land so dry no marriage can grow up on by reinforce every single doubt Pen has and making them loud enough for everyone to hear.

But he is just started. He goes after that carriage, gets on his knees and just lays out his heart. Proceed to look at her like he wants to devour her (and here we meet Colin "boobs - Pen's boobs specifically - are my religion) and than take propriety so far away it is not even register. After ruining Pen by giving her a couple of fingers, he pops the question in the most chaotic way possible.

He follows that to present her as her fiance without even talking with Portia. Goes to sleep I'm supposed (while Pen is wide awake for a lot of reasons I believe, so awake she manages to write and send to print the Whistledown issue, talking about matching his freaks... Unhinged edition lol)

The morning after he goes into her house, tell her mother down and reminds everyone this is a love match. He didn't say my wife but he did say our bridgerton name, which is about the same thing. Then, he takes her hand and goes alone with her - Portia doesn't know where or why.

He takes her at their future house, and decide - with her consent of course - that enough is enough, so let's make things official. Sets the standards of their relationship with a first time for the ages, puts a baby in her and gives her indescribable pleasure (Pen's words, not mine).

Their engagement party is tame comparing to the rest of the unhinged stuff he is done in less than a day, if you think about it.

But tbh, I love a man that once he is done thinking, he just goes for it, commits to the bit, and delivers. Everyone mistakes Colin for a quiet one, but then he sneaks by and surprises you (remember Daphne's words in season two?).

A day that will remain in history for sure.

[myfairstarlight]

Good day friend! I've been really enjoying your takes for bridgerton this season :D Would love to hear your thoughts about part 2, particularly Colin's character portrayal if you're at all inclined!

Well hello there dear, thank you!

And what a coincidence, because Colin's portrayal, always the polarising topic in this fandom it seems, has been on my mind ever since I finished watching part 2... I shall ramble here then! I hope you do not mind a long answer, dear reader, for my last analysis post was not a quick read indeed. And I will now also stop trying to sound like Whistledown.

So, overall thoughts? I think he was handled mostly brilliantly, actually. And thus still despite the pacing issues (but that's an overall issue I have with the show, not specific to this season). Controversial take, already, so let's break it down a bit.

I will try to organise my rambling, but this is pretty much my immediate thoughts after watching the season. Perhaps I'll make a more organised and proper post later, adding Penelope's side, like my friends to lovers love letter, but we'll see! So:

Colin's journey to self-love

Because just like Penelope, though we arguably see it less, Colin has his own journey to loving himself because the thing with Colin is that he's still so insecure. Yes, he's more himself in part 2 now that he realised he's in love, he no longer tries to pretend to be someone he's not, but he still struggles to prove himself, and we see it in those last two episodes, when the truth is truly out. People are harsh on him for being so caught up in what Whistledown wrote and constantly celebrating the idea that LW might meet her demise, almost like a child who just got some sweets, but as we've seen in his discussion with Eloise after the reveal, it's because Whistledown calling him out at the beginning of the season for his new persona poked at his biggest insecurity, and he's still stuck on that, even more so now that he learns Penelope was behind the words, the one person who always made him feel seen and in this case, made him feel too seen. To me, him bringing up Marina so insistently was him grasping at straws, clinging to the one thing he knows for sure was unfair so he does not have to face the fact that what Penelope wrote was the truth (sidenote, was a little disappointed they did not have Penelope say she did try to talk to him about Marina but he literally did not listen and did not care that Marina loved another). He is still trying to find who he is and for a moment, he thought he had it, thanks to the very person now making him question everything all over again.

And oh boy does he not cope well.

Hero complex and what it means to be the man of the house

Colin has a hero complex. That's news to absolutely no one, unless you have not paid attention, so I won't make a list of the instances in previous seasons again. But we see it right away in e5 as he stands up for Penelope in front of Portia, then constantly shielding Penelope as soon as Cressida is involved. Penelope even thanks him for it, telling her no one has ever stood up for her of the sort, which fuels his hero complex. In fact, it is Colin's protectiveness that leads him to learn Penelope is Whistledown since he followed her out of worry, and that leads him to the realisation that she may not need him as much as he thought she did (and in his mind, perhaps she even just pretended to need him, to love him). And that, along with discovering that secret, shatters him. His whole sense of purpose, the one thing he thought he could for sure provide? Gone, just like that.

Even more so later when he learns she may be richer than him lol

So he overcompensates. When Cressida's blackmail is revealed, he does not listen, he jumps on the opportunity to prove himself, to protect his wife even if he's still mad at her, no one can disrespect her and his family so blatantly. As the man of the house, he needs to do what he must. And then he fucking fails and makes things far worse. And you know what? How satisfying it was that for once he failed, arguably when it was the most important for him, to remind him that hey, don't get on your high horse, listen to your wife and your family, don't try to handle everything on your own! (A lesson that Penelope also has to learn at the same time! That's marriage baby!) I like that he gets humbled twice, by Penelope and Cressida, the person he loves most and the one he despises so, yet they both throw the truth at him - he's privileged, as a man, and as a Bridgerton. He gets to question himself, travel to his whim, be even reckless like he just was because he will always have unconditional love from his family, but Penelope had to hide a part of herself to be able to do something she likes, meanwhile Cressida has to resort to questionable means to avoid getting married off to an old man. They do not have the luxury that Colin has to just do things. And it pains him to face that.

I've seen the sentiment that part 2 has Penelope be more assertive than Colin, with the dynamic shifting again when it should not, and while it is true she is the one who seeks him out more, it makes sense, she is seeking his forgiveness all throughout the last two episodes. I love her, but you cannot argue she is not at fault here and Colin deserves to be upset and a bit withdrawn as he deals with the conflicting feelings suddenly assaulting him. Yes the entrapment accusation hurt especially since he was the one who couldn't keep his hands to himself, but with his history after Marina, it makes sense that's what his hurt mind decides to focus on that, to justify the fact he's still so upset (It does bother me he never apologises for that comment though, at the same time Penelope doesn't hold it against him. They, or the writers, probably forgot about it.) But I would also argue that him being so troubled, is a proof of love, he even says so to Eloise "you are lucky you've never been in love" because if he wasn't, this would be much easier to deal with. Despite it all, he loves her, he chooses her, he will protect her, he must. He decides to sleep on the sofa to still stay close to Penelope despite the fact he could just sleep in one of the empty bedrooms. He still reassures her during their wedding, with one look encouraging her to walk more confidently down the aisle, and he holds her oh so tenderly when they dance at the wedding breakfast. He's so upset, but he's still so much in love. Of course, unlike part 1, there's no urgency or desperation on his part, there's no Debling threatening to take Penelope away, or him trying to earn back her favours so of course suddenly his displays of love feel less outward. But again, they're arguing, no he will not forgive her so easily, and that's a good thing, yet he's still here to support and protect her, and that says so much because again, he could just leave, that would have no consequence to him as a man. And in kind, Penelope makes an effort to do better as well, no longer witholding any secret from him, and he sees that.

And deep down, he understands Penelope, we see it when he confronts Cressida and perfectly described why Penelope became LW without her telling him in such words beforehand, because he's had similar struggles, he just needs to admit it, and be okay to show this vulnerability with her.

Colin's writer struggles and jealousy.

Now, I must admit, this was the weakest and a bit disappointing part of his arc to me, which is why I'm writing it last. I wish we could have had more time exploring that, and not just being told so (hopefully in s4? Assuming the writers won't pull a Kate and Anthony and constantly have them leave for no reason). This, however, adds to the previous part and Colin's struggle to provide, be the man of the house.

Here his wife is, an accomplished writer, even if under a pen name, who may be richer than he, oh how it must have deepened his insecurity. After all, if he cannot provide protection, or financial stability, then what good is he to her? What good are his silly journals when compared to that damn column that has all of Mayfair on a chokehold?

And yet.

Is it not telling and precious that he kept all of Penelope's letters? And that they're the catalyst of reminding him why he loves her so much, and how her love for writing and her cleverness shine through and that it is unfair of him to expect her to give it up when he himself aspires to be a writer? Writing is what brings them together truly, the same way writing letters to each other was the precursor for him realising his feelings as well. He is at peace then, Penelope is Whistledown, and she shines with her pen, and Colin fell in love with her quill, long ago, he was just overcome with grief to realise Whistledown held the same brilliance.

And sure, Penelope does not need him to provide, but she loves writing so much, and it inspires Colin in his own writing as well. And I also think it's super cute that he was going through a writer's block until Penelope told him she's loved him for years and suddenly the gates were opened (granted, this was before the reveal but now imagine post-reveal, as he struggles to edit and write, Penelope comes up beside him telling him he's doing well and boom, he's determined to write again).

But, back to the topic at hand, most importantly... he offers her love and support, even through all this battle, he unconsciously kept caring for her, and that's what Penelope craves, just someone there for her.

And that? That Colin can absolutely be, and he will proudly take on the role of her husband rather than "the man".

So I think this about wraps it up! Colin is the definition of a sensitive man trying his best to tough it up, a third son who struggles to find a place in this world. But he found a woman who does not need him to be what he is not, the one woman who will love him not for what he can provide, but for who he truly is, kind and incredibly empathetic. The one woman who fell in love with him because she made him fall off a horse and instead of yelling because of a bruised ego, he laughed at his own expense.

And I just think Colin Bridgerton is neat.

Also as I hit post it's 2AM for me so if some of this doesn't make sense, that's why, don't hold it against me, thank you dear one <3

This is going to be a weird inbox to get considering it's 3 in the morning (On my end) as I do sent it but I've been wondering if you ever associated any song with digitaltime? This is a relatively new question for me to ask anyone since I don't usually go digging for ships out of the idea MAYBE people may feel embarrassed/uncomfortable talking about it? (Even if it did give them comfort!) If not song(s) at least maybe you can talk about them a bit, I used to love digitaltime back when I first joined dhmis in 2016 so I'm always really amazed the ship LIVES ON somewhere! (FEEL FREE TO TALK ABOUT SONGS AND HEADCANONS/IDEAS if you wanna do both I'd LOVE to hear!) I've been meaning to inbox you for days actually! Just couldn't seem to get myself to do so relating to mental health crisis haha. I'm hoping I'll be able to reach out WAY MROE OFTEN just to remind you I am here!! Really always excited/interested in what you have to say even if I've not expressed it forwardly back at least this way uuhh uh. You can ignore this </3 I know it's been hard lately!

Stay strong !!

HII !!!! HI HELLOO HIII !!!! :DDDD

ouhhh goodness i adore thiz question – i love listening to muzic and thinking about theze lozerz X33 I JUST NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO CUZ NO ONE AROUND CAREZ ABOUT THEMMM >X[

i actually have quite a lot but i cant just go on a 3 hour analysis of all the onez . so might az well give you the short n sweet of it – i really wouldn't want to waste your precious time ahaha ¥_^

★ "505" – Arctic Monkeys ; probably my favorite on the list but itz also one of the most SELF INDULGENT

the lyricz are just really fitting with my vizion of them – the lyricz "I'm going back to 505 // If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive // In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side // With your hands between your thighs" fit with the fact they really love one another tremendously – their devotion

also the lyricz "Not shy of a spark // The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark // Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark // The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start" and "But I crumble completely when you cry // It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye // I'm always just about to go and spoil the surprise // Take my hands off of your eyes too soon" LIKE I DUNNO HOW TO EXPLAIN THEZE BUT THEY REALLY REALLY DOMAKE ME THINK OF THEM ........

★ "I Wanna Be Yours" – Arctic Monkeys [dont ask why i associate them with Arctic Monkeys so much . okay ???]

y'know how Colin tendz to talk a lot about how clever and cool and useful he iz ? i think thiz song iz very fitting to how he'd want to be like . useful for Tone – the peak of intimacy iz to be uzed . something something etcetera

★ "As The World Caves In" – Matt Maltese

fitting from Tonyz perspective . in my opinion – how he'd want to spend hiz remaining time alongside Colin . even if . in the grand scheme of everything . itz such a small speck ; how Colin makez Tony feel fulfilled . and how even when all run out of time . hez happy to have spent it together – none wasted

★ a couple of honorable mentionz that i won't go in depth on :

– "Cigarettes out the Window" – TV Girl [mostly cuz i wanna do an in-depth au related analysis on it sometime in the mear future]

– "Show Me How" – Men I Trust [would like to analyze thiz one too but can't really see myself doing it ; the lyricz "Tell me why // Your hands are cold" are rlly hv digitaltime though i swear]

– "Daisy Bell" – Harry Dacre [iz thiz in part cuz Colin iz a computer ? if i answer that question truthfully . you'll chase me with pitchforkz]

– "My Love Mine All Mine" – Mitski [i can't go in depth about thiz without bursting into tearz ; i really love it]

– "Lovers Rock" – TV Girl [im scared of talking about love ; love iz very scary to me]

– "P.U.N.K Girl" – Heavenly

– "Who Knew" – The Correspondents [a relatively new song ive started listening to and i hadn't had the chance to properly dissect the lyricz and analyze them – but . since it remindz me of me n my lover . therez a 90-ish% chance it remindz me of them too]

TYSM FOR THE ASK AGAIN !!!!!!!!! I LITERALLY LOVE TALKING ABOUT DIGITALTIME – THEZE FREAKZ ALWAYZ LINGER IN MY MIND !!!!!!!!!!! IVE BEEN SO STUMPED WHEN IT COMEZ TO IDEAZ TO WRITE AND / OR DRAW THEM SO JUST GETTING TO GET SOMETHING OUTTA MY BRAIN IZ REALLY GOOD

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF CUZ ILYSM !!!!!! YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW HAPPY THIZ ASK ACTUALLY MADE ME . SO THANK YOU <33

The moment I took you in the station (Colin zabel x fem reader)

Summary: you are a petty criminal but Colin couldn’t help but fall for you

Warnings: shoplifting, running from cops, getting arrested, caring for sibling, financial problems let me know if I missed anything

Word count: 1,7k

A/n: I just had this idea a few months ago and just finished writing it since I forgot all about it should I do a part two?

•¤❅¤•.•°˚˚°•..•°˚˚°•.•¤❅¤•.•¤❅¤•.•°˚˚°•.

You ran as far as your legs could take you constantly looking behind you as the detective chased after. You cursed yourself for getting caught but all you could do is run and hope you the best. You gotten caught shoplifting from some fancy store in the mall and you didn't realise that there was an actual detective in the store as you sprinted as far as you could.

You could hear him yelling at you to stop but you never till you looked back and suddenly tripped over your own feet. "Fuck" you hissed clutching on to your ripped Jean covered knee. Trying to get back up till you felt a hand on your arm pulling you back. You got caught handcuffs on your wrists "your under arrest ma'am" he said "oh come on man" you sighed as their partner you presumed pulled up beside you both guiding you into the car and off to the station.

In the station you sat in the dim room waiting on getting questioned. Tapping your fingernails on the table humming a random song that came to mind to pass time. It felt like a century by the time the very detective that took you in came into the interrogation room.

This time he came in with a woman you knew as mare. She looked at you disappointed knowing this wasn't the first time you were in trouble. "Oh come on y/n really" mare scolded she known you since you were little and known you got yourself into petty crimes such as shoplifting or fights.

"I had to mare my sister wanted that bag for school and I can't afford it" you sighed rubbing your temples. "I know times are rough i get that I really do but stealing getting your own self into trouble isn't worth it y/n" mare said you knew she was right how could she not be.

The guy detective who's name you still haven't learnt stared at you. You didn't know why but you didn't mind either. He was extremely attractive. "I'm going to help you out here If I let you go I need you to promise me that you will get a job and stay out of trouble".

"How can I get a job mare I have previous for theft and I have to look after my sister I wouldn't be able to find a good job" you sighed massaging your temples.

You were stuck you only could afford rent since you lived at your uncles place so he lets you off with payments or just doesn't charge at all. But you struggled to even keep up with other bills and put food on the table.

"I can find a course for you to do to help you find a job that helps pay bills, put food on the table and put clothes on your back y/n me and detective zable are here to help you" mare smiled sympathetically. "I don't want to just be a charity case for you all I don't want your pity" you spat, you didn't mean to but your pride got the better of you.

"But it's either that or jail time what do you prefer" the male detective spoke up who's name you learned to be detective zable. You knew he was right you couldn't get into trouble again not with having your sister. "Fine I'll do it" you sighed.

A few months later you were doing great the little course went well and you managed to get a decent job to pay bills and put food on the table. You were walking back home with bags of groceries they felt heavy like they were going to burst open at any moment. You heard a car horn beep making you jump out of your skin.

"Jesus Colin you almost gave me a heart attack" you gasped seeing detective zable in his car. After that day in the station you would see mare and Colin out and about you would talk to them. You couldn't lie you began developing a crush on the new cop in town.

"Need a lift?" He asked noticing your struggle with the bags.

"No no Colin I'm fine honestly don't want to put you into any trouble" you dismissed politely. "No trouble at all honestly" he said you finally agreed to his offer. Colin got out of his vehicle to help you load the bags into his truck. You made your way into the passenger side of the car colin getting in at the other side. Colin new the address after dropping you off there when you had gotten took to the station he dropped you off.

"Thanks again colin you really didn't need to" you smiled the soft sound of the radio played. Colin shook his head "it's no problem honestly I was going past your place anyway to get back to the station" his eyes were still focused on the road but he looked nervous like he wanted to ask you something.

"You okay?" You asked noticing his nervous demeanour, "yeah I'm alright just-" Colin stoped himself mid sentence you furrowed your eyebrows in response. "Come on Colin you can tell me what's wrong" you said with a smile. A sigh left Colin's lips contemplating on if he should say anything or not. "Well I was thinking maybe if you want to, would you like to have dinner with me?" He asked.

You could hear the nervousness mixed with hope in his voice but also in his eyes even though they were fixated on the road. You were shocked to say the least, never did you expect Colin a cop to be interested in a petty criminal like you. Swallowing a lump in your throat, mind racing, palms feeling sweaty rubbing them on your jeans.

“Look forget what I said I didn’t mean to step out of line” Colin sighed feeling a little down at your lack of response. “I’d love to go for dinner with you Colin” you finally answered. “You don’t need to if you don’t want to, I understand that you don’t want to it was dumb of me to think otherwise” Colin’s voice was more meek and hinted with sorrow. “No Colin I really do it’s just- why would you want to go to dinner with me out of all people I mean I had my fair share of run ins with the law you don’t want that” you were now the one to sigh.

You hadn’t realised that you were both now parked outside your home. Colin turned the engine off his car finally looking your in the eye. “I don’t care that you been in trouble before, I get why you did it but I really do like you y/n ever since I took you to the station that day” Colin told you. You felt the blush raising in your cheeks from Colin’s words and the fact that you were arrested.

“When you taking me out?” You asked with a grin seeing your little sister walking along the sidewalk returning from school. “Are you free next Saturday it’s my day off” Colin asked you thought if you had anything “I’m free Saturday my sister will probably be staying with her friend so I should be free” you smiled. Colin nodded pulling out his cellphone “can I have you number you know so I can give you more details and stuff” he says like a teenager his cheeks redden by the second.

You nodded giving him your phone number before getting out the car. “I’ll text you” Colin calls out from the open window on the passenger side. You nodded waving him goodbye, your sister by your side standing there in confusion. She looks at you with the usual look she gave you when you used to get out of police cars. “What have you done this time y/n” she sighs you let out a giggle shaking you head.

“Don’t worry I’m not in trouble Amy, in fact quite the opposite I have a date” you grin like a kid in a candy store. You both walk into your home locking the door. “A date? With who?” She asked throwing her bag on the sofa. “You know that new detective” you say Amy nodded her head “no way y/n, your going on a date with the new detective me and my friends find him so hot” she gasped.

“Well he’s a too old for you missy and yeah he asked me in the car offered me a ride home” you blushed setting yourself on the sofa. “Anyway have you got homework?” You asked Amy nodded her head “yeah” she sighs knowing what you will say next “go get it done” you instructed. Amy huffed going to get her bag to do her homework.

An hour or two later your phone pinged. Checking your messages seeing a new number texting you.

‘Hey it’s Colin just messaging you so you now have my number 😊’ the text read out. You smiled at the text immediately texting a reply ‘hi Colin yeah that’s fine I’ll save your number😊’ you texted back, “it’s that detective sable” Amy teased looking up from her notepad. “Maybe” you sang another ping on your phone.

‘How’s next Saturday at 7pm for dinner there’s this nice restaurant in town it looks really promising’

‘Yeah sounds great’

“Oh my god your like the girls in school” your sister teased you but you didn’t even say anything too busy texting. “What are you doing next Saturday?” You asked your sister “I’m staying at my friends place” she replied “okay Colin’s taking me to this nice restaurant near outside of town” you say “oh I heard about that place it’s really fancy” Amy said.

You spent the rest of the night helping Amy with her homework and texting Colin. You couldn’t deny that you were attracted to Colin for a little while but never did you expect that he would feel the same for you. You were nervous it had been a good while since you dated anyone since your main focus was looking after your sister.

Per a discussion in comments, here's a bit of a facecast gallery! I had more than I thought, once I sat down to make a list. Left to right, top to bottom:

Michaelis: When I shared some photos of top tier football coach Jose Mourinho ages ago, someone called him the King Emeritus and the idea stuck, although there are other visual influences as well. Mourinho is excellent visual shorthand, anyway.

Jes Deimos: In my head, Jes is based on someone I went to college with, but early on in the books someone linked me to V Spehar, nonbinary journalist and podcast host, and I love their look for Jes. You just have to imagine the ice white hair.

Noah Deimos: I never had an image of Noah as a teen, but the first time I saw stand-up comic Moses Storm, I went "oh, hello adult Noah." (He's super funny, watch his special "Trash White" if you get the chance.)

Gregory: Fellas, is it weird to base a protagonist's look on a statue of Hadrian's lover Antinous from 1800 years ago? He has such good hair, is the thing. This is a photo of a statue of Antinous I took myself at the Art Institute several years ago.

Eddie: Eddie is one of those characters who I find so compelling to write as a personality that I find it hard to visualize him, but I would be infamous if I left Guy Fieri out of the lineup.

Alanna: okay what you have to understand is that she looks like Natalie Portman but like, very specifically the straightened hair, no frills, Plain Jane phase Portman went through in the late 1990s.

Gerald: This is a photo of a University of Chicago polo team member from 1926 and that's so hilariously specific as an image that it makes me laugh. If it wasn't this dude it'd be JFK, though. Again, the hair is doing a lot of the work here.

Monday: it's time to admit that the amount of Xena reruns I watched while writing my master's thesis may have permanently impacted me. Lucy Lawless was all I could think of when describing her.

Simon: I based Simon in the first book heavily on the mannerisms of Colin Fox as Fritz Brenner in the A&E Nero Wolfe miniseries, because he's perfect, I am not taking questions.

There are a number of people I don't have a facecast for -- Georgie probably most notably, but also pretty much all the Galian contingent, Joan, and most of the Ramblers (Ephraim has a touch of James Dean about him but none of the photos of James Dean look quite right). I do have casts for Caleb and Buck but I couldn't cram all the images in so I'll do that one separately in a day or two.

Thou Shalt Not Fall: Warriors vs Animals

It's Twilight's turn to show everybody his home. It goes great for everybody except for Warriors, who has to contend with the fact that he's in a village full of animals who don't like him. This is for @gattodelblack who suggested that Warriors should have a possum friend. This is also for anybody who wants Warriors to have another animal friend.

[Previous] - [Next]

View the Master Post here!

Twilight couldn't contain his excitement when he saw the bridge connected Ordon to the world beyond it. He always wanted to show the others where he grew up after he caught a glimpse of where everybody else grew up. He wanted his brothers to meet all the important people in his life, just as he got to meet some of the people who made his brothers... them.

He first took them to the treehouse he lived in to get some rest and drop off their bags. He didn't have a lot of room in it but there was enough on the main level for them to all sleep on the floor. He had extra blankets to make it more comfortable and he was sure he could borrow some extras from the rest of the villagers if need be. He made sure to show Warriors his very dark basement in case he preferred to sleep where the sun couldn’t reach him. It was a bit cold and cramped but Warriors set up his bedroll down there and thanked him. Twilight tossed one of the extra blankets his way to make it a bit cozier.

If he was being honest with himself, Twilight didn't expect to really see Warriors out and about in Ordon too much and not just because Warriors was a city boy. As much as they teased each other about where they came from, he knew Warriors wasn’t the type to get all haughty and act like Ordon was beneath him. If anything, he figured Warriors was probably just going to catch up on sleep and maybe stay inside to avoid the extra attention from the animals. Twilight already decided that he was going to use the same excuse Time used to explain why Warriors wasn't around – his mysterious sleep disorder.

And when morning came, that's what Warriors did. He slept in the basement, the darkest place in his house, and he making a kettle of tea by the time they all returned in the afternoon.

On the second day, he was standing outside his treehouse with Colin as the younger boy swung a wooden sword at the target Twilight ended up keeping around. He was a little surprised that Colin sought him out and he was surprised that Warriors was even awake but regardless, the two seemed to having fun together so Twilight didn’t question how they met out loud.

The third day though, Twilight spotted him in the village proper and he suddenly had the gut feeling that maybe he should stick around Warriors today.

It didn’t take long for it to go downhill. Warriors was watching and commenting on the fish in the lake when Sera’s cat – Link, much the amusement of the other Links – came around the corner of the shop. Warriors spotted their new visitor immediately, careful to keep some distance between himself and the cat. Twilight noticed how still he was but his knees were slightly bent, ready to bolt when he needed to.

“Aww, what a cute kitty – oh fu-” Warriors cut himself off as Link suddenly bolted towards leapt at him with an angry yowl. The captain caught him but not before Twilight spotted a claw dig into Warriors’ arm. He held Link away from him, which kept most of the claws away from him but Link’s back feet still managed a lucky swipe here and there until Twilight collected him from behind. Link calmed in Twilight's arms, though he still hissed at Warriors.

“I'll just take him home...” Twilight mumbled, turning towards the store. He was sure Sera would understand if he told her to keep her inside for the rest of the day.

After Link the cat came the bees. The hive that the bees just kept making over and over instead of moving to a new spot fell from its spot in the tree like the Golden Three themselves felt like ruining Warriors’ day.

“Why are there so many bees?” Warriors cried out as he jumped into the lake. Twilight watched for a second to see if the bees would come after him, but they dispersed after half a minute or so of Warriors being underwater. They blamed Warriors for the destruction of their hive and only Warriors apparently and he was no where near it. He knew better than to question their behaviour out loud. He didn’t want to give any other deities or spirits any ideas.

When Warriors broke the surface, they both let out a sigh of relief. At least this time, he came out unscathed. A little bit of water wouldn’t kill him.

Warriors was stubborn, just like all of them. He retreated into the tree house and came out not too long after wearing his spares, donning the purple tunic that Twilight rarely got to see. Apparently, he was still determined to explore the village even after being attacked by a cat and far too many bees.

They next incident came when Twilight was introducing Warriors to Rusl and Uli with Colin around to tell them all how much he enjoyed their training session yesterday. Much to his relief, they got along well. He was pretty sure they would – any friend of Twilight and Colin was a friend of Rusl and Uli – but he was still a little nervous. Warriors dressed and carried himself like the knight he was and Twilight knew from experience that if the knights in his Hyrule did their jobs right, there probably wouldn’t be a resistance for Rusl to join.

Suddenly, there was a shout from up the hill.

“GOAT INCOMING!”

Sure enough, there was a goat charging down the hill, heading directly towards Warriors. The captain was usually quick to react but, at that moment, he was just watching the goat close the gap between them.

Twilight pushed Warriors out of the way and braced himself, planting his feet firmly on the ground with his knees slightly bent and his hands held out in front of them. When the goat was close enough, he grabbed the goat’s horns and pushed back, stopping the loose goat in its tracks. His entire body tensed and he could feel the strain in his arms and legs but his feet remained firmly planted on the ground.

He turned his strength onto the goat, using his grip on the horns to push the goat over onto the ground. He dropped to his knees, following it down. Thankfully, at this point, it was significantly calmer, but Twilight kept his hands on the horns, prepared just in case the goat made another go at Warriors. Thankfully, he didn’t have to. Fado was running down the hill with some rope to help guide the goat back up the hill to the ranch.

“Wow, Link, you did again,” Colin muttered. “How are you so strong?”

“Sorry, I forgot to close the gate...” Fado said with a frown as he started to head back up with the goat in tow. Colin and Rusl shook their heads. Twilight got up and dusted himself off. It felt kind of good to know that he was still capable of wrestling a goat. Fado got a lot better with keeping the gate closed but he couldn’t fault somebody for forgetting every now and again.

“Heh, just some exercise! Nothing special!”

“It was a good thing you happened to be so close. You’re the one only who can overpower ‘em like that,” Rusl muttered. He turned to Warriors. “Are you alright?”

Twilight turned to look at Warriors, and he was pretty sure he never saw the captain's eyes so wide or his face so pale, especially for somebody who didn't have a lot of colour in his face in the begin with. He was holding a hand to his chest.

“I’m fine,” he mumbled as he let a breath of his air he must have been holding but Twilight knew just by his tone that he was not actually fine.

“Let’s head back. I think you’ve had a long enough day.”

Warriors nodded and followed him back to the tree house.

“That goat wanted to kill me,” he mumbled quietly once he was out of earshot of the rest of the village. His vampirism must have made the goat feel threatened but Twilight doubted that the goat would try to kill him or that Warriors could be killed by a goat of all things. It was far from pleasant to get hit, Twilight knew that all too well, but he wouldn’t die and the goat would probably leave if it chased him off. That wasn’t what the captain wanted to hear though, so for the what felt like the hundredth time since he got Ordon, he kept his mouth shut. “If you weren’t there, it would have killed me.”

“How about I make that tea that you liked?”

“Tea sounds good.” Quiet, but he did look a little calmer. That was the small sort of victory they both needed at the moment.

Twilight sighed. While everybody else was running around the village, talking to the people he grew up with or finding some way to entertain themselves, Warriors retreated to the safety of Twilight's treehouse. Twilight couldn't blame him. He was in a village full of animals and all the animals hated him, except for his surprisingly docile cuccos that Warriors might not have even noticed.

He wasn't even sure how he was going to explain to the villagers that the animals hated him. Maybe he'll just tell them he's sick if they asked why he wasn’t around – surely nobody noticed that all the animals hated him.

Twilight tried to not think about it too much as he set up the kettle with the tea from earlier for Warriors and headed back out to try to regroup with the others. When they returned, he found the captain on the floor with a book in hand. He stayed there when the rest of them tucked themselves and Twilight retreated up to his loft for his own bed. He wasn’t giving up his loft no matter how much he loved his brothers.

He woke up in the middle of the night. Twilight wasn’t sure what woke him up but once he was awake, he sat up and glanced out the window, hoping to see that the moon was still pretty high in the sky. He blinked. He shifted closer to the window, rubbing the grogginess out of his eyes.

What was Warriors doing outside?

The captain was an adult who could mostly look after himself – at least if he did get in trouble, he could come back in a few pieces and probably still be fine – but Twilight nonetheless slowly made his way outside to meet him. He was sitting under the shade of some the trees that stretched into his yard.

“You know, I thought you would just stay inside after all that happened today,” Twilight mumbled as he sat down beside the captain. For somebody who spent most of the day getting chased by animals that were irritated by his existence, he seemed pretty relaxed. He was sitting with his legs crossed on the ground, using his right hand to support himself as he leaned back a little. His left hand was just above his lap, stroking something that was moving. “What do you have?”

“I don't know, I've never seen one of these guys before,” Warriors said, lifting his hand for Twilight to inspect. “He seems nice though. Very polite.”

Twilight squinted. He could see a dark body, a bright pink, naked tail that curled around Warriors' leg, and bright white face with round ears. The creature looked up at him with beady little eyes.

“Oh, that's a possum,” Twilight said with a smile. He hovered a couple of fingers over the possum to see how it react, but seeing as it was curled up in Warriors' lap, he wasn't too concerned about getting bit. When it didn't react, he started to pet it, slowly running his fingers down its head. “I've seen them around Castletown at night but I haven't seen them around Ordon before. They didn't let me get this close in Castletown either.”

“I have no idea why it climbed up into my lap like that but it's nice to know that the only two animals that don't hate me seem to be horses and these little... possum guys.”

“At least. I’m sorry you had a bad day in the village though.”

“Twilight, no need to apologize. I think I underestimated the animals but I knew leaving your yard would be a risk. None of it was unexpected. Besides, I got to meet your family and I’ll be here if anyone else wants to say hi,” Warriors said with a smile as he continued to pet the possum.

“So no more adventures in the village.”

“Sorry but... fuck no. If you’re weren’t there to handle that goat, it would have killed me! I know it would have! I know what it looks like when people or animals want to kill me. The goats would find a way to stake my heart or decapitate me. I will not underestimate them again.”

“I think you’re overestimating them now.”

“I’m giving them the respect that they crave.”

Twilight could only role his eyes. The goats weren’t that bad.

Fic writer tag

@silenthillmutual tagged me in this challenge. Cheers! Here are my answers:

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Not counting orphaned / anonymous works, I have 48 fics across both accounts

2. What is your AO3 wordcount?

168,810 (sum total of both accounts)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

DC comics & related media; Death Note; Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (way way back); Noragami (also way way back).

I used to write RPF too (I was a teenager, of course I did) but I've scrubbed all that from my ao3 profiles.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

top 5 fics not including anonymous ones:

Old aches become new again (DCU | Jason & Dick shenanigans, background Jay/Roy/Kori)

Imposter Syndrome (DCU | JayRoy)

Growing Pains (DCU × The Lego Batman Movie | Dick & Batdad gen fic)

if you can't summon your own tentacles, store-bought is fine (DCU | JayRoy)

the hands that worship you (Black Mirror: Bandersnatch | Colin/Stefan)

5. Do you respond to comments?

Always! It might take days weeks or months depending on what I have going on in my life but yeah :) unless it's a hate comment or bad faith criticisms. Oh and comments asking questions that I've already answered in the author's notes or in other comments or in the text itself (which yes, has happened before. I guess it was good for ""engagement "" but it's not stuff I want to explain again and again like a broken record. I'm not paid to do that - unlike at my day job.......)

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

🤡 I've written my fair share of dark fics so it's definitely one of those ones. You can DM me if you wanna know but I am not telling on myself here

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Growing Pains, no contest, because it ends with trans acceptance 💚

But I also think happy endings at the end of a high stakes fic are even more rewarding? In which case it would have to be This Mirror Ain't Big Enough For the Two of Us

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I have, once, on a genderbend fic. Some guy was outraged I made Jason a girl lol. But hate comments are few and far between for me because I'm not a bnf by any means

9. Do you write smut? If so, which kind?

Yeah. I write a lot of pwps because they're easy. From there I either go into pwp with feelings territory, crack territory or, well, if it's a dark fic...........one of my longest nsfw fics is a Jason Todd/Scarecrow fic. You get the picture. (That one isn't without plot though.)

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest crossover you’ve ever written?

Man. I actually once wrote a YouTube RPF x Death Note crossover. iykyk. But out of my surviving fics the only crossover that I still have posted online is a Death Note x DC fic.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I know

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I've translated other people's fics, but I don't think I've had mine translated by others

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes but that's from before my ao3 days

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Rem x Misa (Death Note). I go through phases of shipping different pairings but Rem x Misa is the one that I can always come back to and write stuff for / look at art about.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

My Teen Titans Dark Academia au. And on that note: I don't even know if I'll have the time to come back to writing long fics period. It's been 8 months since I last worked on my Jaime (Blue Beetle)/Eddie (Kid Devil)/Rose Wilson/Traci 13 road trip & interdimensional travel fic...........

16. What are your writing strengths?

My prose when I'm in the mood to write well. Poetry is my main medium these days so I'm very good at throwing in lots of one liners into my prose too.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Trying to pace my story beats and juggle multiple subplots once my projects get into 10K+ / long fic territory.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

As long as the author actually knows what they're doing. The language has to be authentic and not Google Translate gibberish. And then for accessibility's sake they should include the translation either in-text or in the end notes.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

YouTube RPF 😑

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

It's a tie between:

And the encore lasts forever (DCU x Titans TV | trans!Jason/Rose)

Exit Strategy (DCU | Rose Wilson character study)

Tagging @kiseiakhun @thenaphorism @shhhenanigans @smagata @reaperlight @mihaelkeehl or any mutuals who post fics!

Greetings,

*kicks down your door, pounces at you*

I am attacking you with asks! 😊 (hope you don't mind)

1, 3, 4, 11, 14

And 7 if you’re feeling brave…

Also, do you have any DW novels /audios you like and consider essential listening?

Have a good day/week

(love your art btw)

Farewell...

*disappears into the night*

GASP, my door!!! Well it's worth it. Thank you so much for the asks! And aaa ty for the compliment to my art too 😭💕 rlly appreciate it! *gives you a little origami star before you mysteriously disappear*

1. Who is your favourite Doctor?

Currently 12 is my favourite, but since I'm watching classic, 3 and 5 are big favs too. My answer on this question changes so much though I seem to cycle through them 🤣

3. Who is your favourite male companion?

Turlough so far!! He's really interesting and unique. Love this lil pathetic guy. Kisses his forehead.

4. Whats your favourite story?

UHHH so, so many. I'd probably give you different answers depending on where the wind blows. But I'll try. Can't pick one so here's a few! (if anyone else asks again I shall give different ones)

-Enlightenment, from the 5th Doctor. Absolutely adored this one!!

-I'll forever love Castrovalva, also from the 5th Doctor. It's probably not that good but I do love me some confusing places...

-Midnight from the 10th Doctor

-Wild Blue Yonder from the new specials :') YELLS

-Heaven Senth from 12 my beloved

-As an artist, well, Vincent and the Doctor, from the 11th Doctor. I just. Cries

11. Show a picture of your favourite Doctor outfit

Does this count

Otherwise

14. Show a picture of your favourite Tardis design

7. Rank the Doctors from best to worst

OK IM FEELING BRAVE I'll try... but I'm only ranking those I've watched. Not taking into acct the EU. Also not including 15 bcs it's too early for me to decide (but I love him so far!!)- I'm ranking them based off how interesting they are to me also.

1. Capaldi's Doctor (12)

2. Eccleston's Doctor (9)

3. McCoy's Doctor (7). Very interesting guy

4. Pertwee's Doctor (3)

5. Tennant's Doctor (10)

6. Whittaker's Doctor (13)

7. Davison's Doctor (5)

8. Smith's Doctor (11) - I do love him but I lost interest in him for unknown reasons

9. Colin Baker's Doctor (6) - I actually found him interesting when watching! But yeah since I'm not taking EU into acct, not the best for me

10. Tennant's Revamp Doctor (14) - Well, we've got three specials. I liked him, but idk I don't think I'd be excited to watch an entire season of 14. He's more like a cameo for me.

Ok this was hard af ejdkdld as usual my answer will probably change anyday. I don't think any of them is bad though, I love all of the Doctors so far! Hence why it's hard to pick favs without rambling about other Doctors djdkd

Extra: Novels and audios

I haven't read any novels (yet) but I've listened to a few audios! Not many, I'm slowly getting into it. HOWEVER

If you're into thoschei you definitely need to listen to Master. It's just. GAHH. It consumed my braincells. It will never leave me. Plus it made me want to listen to more from Beevers and McCoy. I consider it essential if you're deep into thoschei tbh

AND. The Natural History of Fear. I went blind into this audio, from the 8th Doctor... It's one of my favourite stories ever, which I didn't add up there to not repeat myself. It changed my brain chemistry. It made me wonder how tf is it humanly possible to come up with all that and write it so well. The acting is sublime, the story is undescribable. Anytime I try to explain what it is about I fail tremendously. I don't think I consider it essential but I really do recommend it! In fact I recommend to listen to it twice at least.

Again tysm for the ask this was fun!!!

Daily Writing Practice, Take 1

Several short story rejections have me feeling a little dejected. To get myself out of a writer's rut, I decided to spend 30 minutes a day writing... something. Today I used a prompt to get the juices flowing, and this is the result. Not sure if I'll keep going with it or not, but it's an interesting start.

Prompt: A voracious reader starts noticing odd synchronicities in the books she's reading.

“This is the... 40th(?) one. He's just... hiding in the background. It doesn't matter the genre, it doesn't matter the print date. As recent as this year, as old as the written word. I find him everywhere.”

Ayden looks at my pile of books with his patented skepticism. He has always found my eccentricities a little annoying. The insistence on leaving out rice for the fae to count, the knocking three times. He pretends to ignore it, but I know he wishes I were a little less... me.

“Are you sure you aren't just picking up on a trope?”

“I swear it's not some coincidence or writing cliché. It's too specific. Will you please just look? I feel like I'm going crazy.”

Ayden sighs deeply. “Fine, show me.”

I have several books already open to the relevant pages. I pull him over to a large, leather bound tome first. “I think this was the first time I found him. At least, the first one I remember. He might have shown up before. But I read this one about a year and a half ago.”

I've highlighted the relevant paragraph. The book in question is a collection of myths and legends from around the world. In a story about the adventures of Sun Wukong, the mischievious monkey steals from a copper-haired farmer named Koh Lin. It's quick, only a line or two, but it stands out, in part because it is so brief. It has no impact on the story as a whole and seems thrown in.

“If he hadn't been a little incongruous I probably wouldn't have remembered him when I saw him again. But I got a little sense of deja vu.” I hand him the second example, a paperback fantasy novel. About a third of the way through the book the protagonists find themselves hiding in the barn of a farmer named Cailean, who's fiery temper matches his fiery hair.

I keep going down the line. A book on etymology written by Colin Farmer, whose author picture on the back cover shows a man with bright red hair. A children's book where a red fox named Cullin raises chickens on his farm. Pulpy sci-fi where a red-headed Callum is a pioneer on a new planet, helping to establish one of the first farms. An Arabic poem written by Khaleem Fallah, who a quick Google search reveals to have bright red hair.

“So, you see the pattern, right?” I look up at him, giving my best 'please don't think I'm mental' puppy-dog eyes.

“It is a weird coincidence, but I don't know, Andy, it still seems like just a coincidence. So there are a lot of authors who stick red-headed farmers with names that sound a little like Collin into their stories. That doesn't mean there's something supernatural happening.”

“It gets weirder now.” I say it quietly, a little afraid to show him the next bit. This is the part where either I'm right or I'm getting checked into a facility.

“Alice in Wonderland, Stranger in a Strange Land, Snow Crash, To Kill a Mockingbird. The Taming of the Shrew. Our Town. He's in all of them. He wasn't there before, Ayden. I swear he wasn't there before.”

“I think you've Mandela effected yourself, babe. I remember these passages, they've always been here.”

“Then why don't we talk about it? How many literary theory classes have we taken? Am I really the first person to notice that all of these works contain the same character? How could that be possible. You agree it's a weird coincidence. So why don't we study it, when we study why the curtains are blue? And why did I only start noticing it after?”

“You're traumatized, Andy. You nearly died and we still don't know what happened to him. You're seeing him everywhere. You really need to accept that he's gone. Did you see that therapist?”

“You weren't there, Ayden. You didn't see what I saw. He isn't gone. He didn't just vanish without a trace. We were trapped there together. I would have seen him leave. And if he did get out, and go for help, and not make it, we would have found his body. We never found his body.”

[marksbear]

Okay I have two ideas for the same Dom reader from the sending nudes at work sub Steven grant with him at the wolfstreet I think it is? So reader proposed and then it's a huge wedding where Steven Co workers come too are surprised and jealous because they didn't know about his husband. So when it gets to night reader carry Steven getting reader to fuck Mr l/n aka Steven he goes into the bathroom to wear a wedding dress. Reader can't control him and fucks him with it still on while saying his handsome husband and wants to keep fucking him forever and overestimating him and how much he loves him. I know it's alot but this Is what came to my head. /1 -🐻‍❄️

I like the ideas in your head my friend. So I am more than happy to write this thought. I hope you enjoy it! 🐻‍❄

Warnings- DETAILED SMUT, overestimating, praise kink, marriage, Y/n and Steven are two love sick puppies, mirror sex, breeding kink, teasing, blowjob, slight daddy kink, ONESHOT.

STEVEN GRANT X DOM MALE READER

"This is my big day and I won't allow any of you to ruin this for me and my future husband!" Y/n says in a dominant tone to all of his hundreds of workers.

Y/n didn't want them to join. Maybe only the managers from each department and his assistants. But sadly the news got out in the office and now everyone is here with kids and significant others.

Steven on the other hand invited maybe seventeen of his co-workers even the ones he didn't like. And that made Y/n feel like a complete asshole from all of the people who came just to see him.

Y/n makes sure the place is perfect for his fiance before going to the dressing room with some of his closest friends. Once he got there hair dressers and photographers were already there waiting for him.

Y/n puts the suit on smiling to himself in the mirror. "Wow Y/n that suit did you justice. You are usually more ugly." One of your friends says teasingly making the other friends in the room laugh.

"Very funny Colin." Y/n says sarcastically and sits down in a chair letting the hairdresser do her job. "What dress do you think Steven is wearing?" The fiance hoped to be a husband asks his friends. "Probably something better than you. Hes gonna steal the whole wedding." The other friend Wade answers a bit too honestly for your own good and Y/n side eyes him.

"Think I hear guests arriving! Okay do one of you have the rings?!?" The room became silent after Y/n asked the question.

WITH STEVEN!

"B-but Marc what if he doesn't like it?!" Steven asks while holding on the bottom part of the dress fidgeting with it. "Steven you're gonna be fine." Marc groans out after answering that question about one hundred times already. "Look Steven. You and Y/n have been through lots of shit together. If he doesn't wanna marry you for one dress i'll kick his ass." Marc says to Steven for a little encouragement. Marc's words help Steven calm down a little and take a deep breath.

THE MUSIC START TO PLAY.

And everyone stands turning to the front of the aisle where Y/n and his best men are looking amazing while lots of Y/n yell out cheers for their boss earning a glare from Y/n.

Different musicians with their own instruments begin to play in harmony creating a peaceful and full of love in the fancy wedding as a signal that is about to begin.

Flower girls and boys begin to throw the gold and red flower petals around creating a beautiful sight for all eyes to see. Steven and his best women show up right behind them making the whole room smile and speechless especially the L/n by the arch. Once Steven is by the arch the priest goes on and on about the future of the newly wedded couple.

The two exchange vowels both of them are just beautiful and heartwarming. "Steven Grant do you take Y/n L/n as your newly wedded husband until death do you part?" The priest asks making the room tense and holding their breath. "I do."

Y/n eyes begin to water from those two simple words Steven says. "Y/n L/n do you take Steven Grant to be your husband until death do you part." Without hesitating Y/n says "I do" Making everyone in the chapel stand up getting ready to clap. "Then I pronounce you two are Husband and Husband Y/n you may kiss the bride." Y/n quickly wraps his around his husband pulling him to the most passionate kiss ever.

The crowd roars and claps for the two L/n's

Now at the wedding party

The L/n are in the back of the party at the table just for them. Steven is on Y/n lap as Y/n is just looking around the party. After they just got done dancing and cut the cake.

All of Steven's co-workers are in a corner whispering about the newly married couple. "Steven can't handle a man like him." One of them says to the group. "Agreed he doesn't deserve L/n." A different one follows after the first comment. "The things I would do to Y/n." One of the woman workers says dreamily staring at Y/n.

"Im gonna make him mine one day."

One of Y/n workers came to Y/n and Steven to congratulate them. But then almost the whole company went to them to congratulate them. They overflow the table with gifts."Be right back love. Wheres Jenny I wanna dance with her." Y/n gently moves Steven off of him and places him on the chair he was sitting on before walking out of the crowd to find a certain woman.

Once Y/n was out of an ear shot one of the managers asked "How the hell did you tame the beast?"

TIMESKIP SOME PEOPLE ARE NOW LEAVING.

The only two people on the dance floor are Jenny and Y/n slow dancing with Jenny leading like shes the man and Y/n is the man.

Steven is standing at the back watching the two as they dance gracefully and not making a single mistake. "Thats Jenny Parker. One of Y/n's favorite workers. Don't worry they have nothing going on shes a lesbian." A mysterious voice says and when Steven turns to see who it is they're gone.

After the song ends Y/n goes over to Steven kissing him deeply without warning. Y/n wraps his arms on his waist pulling Steven closer to him as he slowly grinds onto him. The two seem to be in their own world in a complete bliss making out and grinding onto each other. Until the world broke because of Jenny who is screaming Y/n name.

"Y/n M/n L/n! Come here right now and tell me bye!" Y/n groans into Steven's mouth before turning around to face his friend. "I can't Jen, but bye! Tell the kids daddy isn't coming home in a few days!" Y/n shouts before turning back around to his husband.

"Wanna continue where we left off?~" Y/n asks his husband in a smug tone with a smirk. "Daddy?" Steven asks. Y/n lets out a quiet "Fuck." Before answering. "Yeah daddy. Are you jealous because someone else calls me daddy?~". But I'm her kids'godfather and real daddy isn't in their lives so I just step up and sub in from time to time." Y/n picks up the new L/n before taking him outside to the car.

TIMESKIP AT THE HONEYMOON RESORT.

Y/n had rented out the best resort money can buy for his husband. He hired chefs and musicians to be a bit early so they can prepare. The married couple ate and danced around for a bit before going into the bedroom. "L/n~ can you please wear that wedding dress again? It's just because I can't believe my husband looked so good in it." Y/n begs with a little pout making his husband's face become hot and flustered.

Steven quietly agrees and heads off to the bathroom. Y/n takes his tuxedo off strips down out of the clothes folding them neatly. Y/n cock springs out hard and the precum is already leaking out. "Oh fuck me." Y/n mentally argues with himself deciding whether to go in the bathroom to fuck his husband OR be a regular person take care of his problem by themselves or just wait for the partner.

Y/n walks up to the door opening it slowly taking in his husband's beauty in the dress. Steven is bent over the sink doing something but Y/n doesn't care hes only thinking with his dick. Y/n gets behind Steven and places his arms in front of Steven trapping his husband between himself and the sink. "Y/n?! Wha are you---doIng~"Steven words became slight moans when he feels his husbands cock poking the dress as Y/n sucks on his neck. Y/n moves his hips back and forth creating the friction and pleasure he needed. Steven throws his head back landing on Y/n shoulder. Steven cock is hard and the bulge is very noticeable in the dress.

One of Y/n's hand loose grip on the sink and brings his fingers up to Steven's mouth. "Be a good husband and suck." Y/n demands kissing the back of Steven's neck. Steven wastes no time sucking on the fingers coating them with his spit and saliva. Once Y/n pulls his fingers out a trail of saliva from Steven mouth follows them. Y/n uses his free hand to pull Steven dress up for his ass and cock is visible. Y/n pushes one of his fingers in his husband hole. Steven arches his back and moans out Y/n name. Steven moves his ass up and down on the finger using his free hands to cover his mouth. Y/n watches his husband fuck himself before adding a second finger.

Steven looks into the mirror staring at the erotic sight that him and his husband are making. Y/n looks up from Steven ass and to the mirror smirking at Steven and wink at him. "M---more pLease more Y/n~ I want your cock please g-give it to me." Steven's eyes begin to water a little as he begs for his husband cock.

"Not yet maybe. Im going to make you cum two times from my fingers before I fuck you properly." Y/n uses his other hand to pin Steven waist onto the sink so he can't fuck himself anymore and proceeds to curve and twist his fingers.

"O-oh fuck love~" Steven moans his face looking like hes about to cry. Steven whines and whimpers becomes louder. "Y/n! Y/n~ Ahahh F-uCk! plea--se again again~" Steven cries out once Y/n fingers graze his prostate. "Only because you asked so nicely my dear L/n" Y/n answers Steven pleas and begins to for his prostate every time he curves his fingers. Steven cums without warning most of the cum landing on the floor and legs but some lands on the dress.

"Good boy baby~ Now can you handle one more then you can get your reward i'll even help." Y/n praise and ask his husband. Steven gives Y/n a weak nod. "Words Stevey." Y/n says demanding him. "Yes sir..." "Good boy stevey."

Y/n adds a third finger into his husband stretching him out faster. Y/n slides his free hand on Steven cock giving it a few tugs before taking it whole jerking it off at the same pace hes fucking Steven with his fingers in.

This time Steven doesn't think he can last longer. His cock is coated with cum and sweat. Y/n slows his hand down letting Steven catch his breath before going at a steady pace. Steven grinds his ass into his husband's fingers almost feeling at ease until he feels his husband's hard cock under his own. Moving up and down just like Y/n with his hand. Steven looks down a little staring at his husband's wet cock. He begins to imagine Y/n cock inside him. How would it feel and what pace would his husband go. What would Y/n cum feel like inside of him. The last thought made him cum on the spot. His moans sounded like he was in a porn video and the way his hole clenched around Y/n as he came.

"Wow Stevey you just came all over my cock." Y/n voice sounded surprised but he didn't hate it. As promised Y/n takes his cock and slowly pushes it into his husband whole. Steven's whole body is leaning on the counter for support. Without wasting a second Y/n thrust all the way in Steven. Y/n pulls all the way out before thrusting back in. Y/n lays his head down onto Steven shoulder as he fucks him. His moans and groans are muffled.

"F-fuck Steven. Still so tight~" Y/n says into Steven's ear making Steven back shiver. Y/n uses both of his hands to hold on to Steven pinning him down on the counter. "My husband is so so handsome I'm so lucky! Do you hear me Steven you are so handsome~" The praises make Steven cock twitch even more. "I can just keep fucking this pretty ass forever." Y/n growls into Steven ear biting it softly. Steven's throat is too dry to talk but moans escapes from it. Drool runs down Steven's chin as he stares into the mirror.

"Should I cum deep in you so you can get pregnant? So no one else can call me daddy besides you and the kids. Want me to fuck kids into you Stevey~So i'll be only our family daddy. You will like that huh?" The thought of just having Y/n kids and his cum deep inside him made Steven shoot his third load making his cock sore and ache.

"Should I call you mommy or daddy?~" Y/n teases as his thrust aims for Steven's prostate making his aching cock hard again and his face full of tears and drool. "Steven i--im cumming OoH fuckk! Take it! I'm going to give you my kids--- Fuck!" Y/n hot cum shoots deeply into Steven making Steven Whole body become fuzzy and heaving. As Y/n rides out his high he picks up Steven placing him on the sink and getting on his knees before opening his mouth taking Steven cock whole. With only a few lazy sucks and lapping his tongue on the tip while using his hand to squeeze his husband balls made him cum shoot straight into his mouth.

Steven throws his head back tiredly and his legs shaking. Y/n swallows the load like a pro and gives his cock a few extra sucks to make sure he got everything before pulling away from the cock and gives the tip a kiss on the silt.

Y/n stands up from his knees before picking up his weak husband and laying him on the bed. Y/n takes off the wedding dress for him and folds it with some of the other clothes. Y/n lays on the bed with Steven making out with him for a while before falling asleep.

THE END

Bridgerton folks, second episode of the Daddy!Colin fic or "The night Colin became Daddy". Do you like this title?

Thank you for the welcome and I hope you'll like this episode too!!

---

Pen was spiraling.

Colin knew she was.

He had teased her for a while, and seeing her after a long work day, he decided to give it a try.

It's not like they don't know how to laugh during sex, so if this "daddy" thing turns out to be a complete disaster, he can still take care of her in other ways.

"Come here babygirl", he said in a low voice.

Pen watched him with big eyes as he was throwing a cushion on the floor, the invite explicit enough.

"Such a good girl for me," he added when he saw her kneeling on the cushion, watching him with desire.

A new found confidence took him by surprise, as he lifted her chin to kiss her.

"Unzip me and take me in your mouth," he said after the kiss and while he was not new at dirty talk, this was different.

Pen watched him with pure lust in her eyes and she seemed already so affected by his word.

"Are you my good girl?"

This was a play of dominance and they both knew it.

He had read about how dominance is not just ordering someone to do something. It can be that, at times. But mostly it's about allowing the other person to follow after proposing something.

Colin didn't understand until that moment what they meant.

Pen nodded at his question and he caressed her cheek.

"Then, do as I say."

Colin understood that Pen was just surprised, not rebelling on purpose. So, he tried another approach.

"Do not test me, babygirl" that provoked a reaction. A shake of her head. But he needed more.

"Words, love."

"No, I don't want to test you."

Her hands went to move to his pants when she stopped and looked at him.

"I don't want to test you, Daddy!"

Was it supposed to be cringe, was it not?

Instead Colin, in being addressed as Daddy for the first time, felt excitement, lust, love and pride.

In another setting, or with another person, he would probably respond in a very different way.

But with Pen... The fact that she trusted him to take care of her was so big that his need to conversely was so powerful that cringe didn't even register.

Instead, his expression soften as she started to finally unzip him.

"Yes, babygirl. I'll take care of you."

Pen by now know how to please him the most when suck1ng him. She did all the tricks she learned in the years together, as he gently moved his hips to accompany her movements, never stopping praising her: "you're so good. So gorgeous. My babygirl. Yes!!"

She managed to go deeper that she usually did, making him moan wildly.

He hoped the neighbors would not complain because he didn't plan on stop.

He tried to control himself before c0ming, making her stand-up again and kissing her deeply, touching her all over.

She was buttering his hands, giving to everything he wanted to give her.

The glossy eyes told him she was not quite in subspace but close.

A thrill went over him as he was reminded of the trust Pen was putting into him.

He took her in his arms as he walked them towards their room.

"Now, I'll undress you. Then, I'll please you, are you okay, babygirl?"

She nodded, standing next to bed as he was starting to unbutton her blouse.

"You're so pretty for me, love."

"Thank you, Daddy"

The second time she said that was not less powerful than the first. He could grew accustomed to that.

As he touched and kissed her neck, Pen moanly a bit, Colin knew they would never forget that night for the rest of their life.

If you don't mind me asking, who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon)? Feel free if you want to write the reasons of why you love those couples or not..... Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

Hi,

Thanks for the question, I actually did an answer to this that was pretty similar most of it had my favorite romantic relationships in there. Here's the link. But this since that question was focused on more about characters I'll try and give more information on the couples I tend to obsess about sometimes.

Books:

WangXian: I already explained about why I love the untamed in different forms, the books are one of my favorite ones.

Will/Tessa/Jem: The infernal devices. This is one of the best love triangles I have ever read, painful at places but it actually ended up really well. I am so happy about everything, I love all the characters in this, and each of the ways they helped each other in the relationships, their angst, and their memorable moments I love all of them.

Ty/Kit- Already one of my favorite relationship duo, and they haven't yet even been in a relationship but they're so good, and they're so angsty, and it's so good. Watched them grow and watched their childhood story unfold and how Kit realized about his feelings, urgh it's so good. Cannot wait for their series!

Bridgerton couples: This is a very unpopular opinion but I actually love Colin and Penelope in the books. I know Colin is very annoying and it takes a while to get him but I really enjoyed reading their story, their incident that led to them being forced to get married was incredible omg one of the best kissing scenes I read. I haven't read the next ones so I wouldn't say they're my all time fave but I really loved them.

Pride and Prejudice: Elizabeth and Darcy, you'll never see me not love these two, love also their angst, love their longing, their enemies to lovers, their characterisation and their ending. One of the best historical romance books couples still to this day, and I can't fault it. I love most of Jane Austen's couples so I won't list them

Vegas/Pete: both book version and show version same reasons I stated in the previous one

Lee/Ke Luo: one of my all time favorite bl danmei book couples, makes me laugh so much, something so wholesome and innocent despite the darkness of the story. The plot twists and their relationship melts my heart. Watching Lee fall so selflessly in love with Ke Luo despite how like bad he is as a person was so beautiful, like his growth makes me so happy. Ke Luo later on getting what he deserved needing his own time to pine and pay for what he did, was so good, because Lee didn’t even know how much he was in love with him. The way they affect each other, make each other grow, the wholesome scenes they shared with each other even when they weren't together and the passion they also have, it was so great. Like typical BL novel, but hilarious and Lee is one of my favorite BL characters in a book boy do I love him! They make me so happy like I could easily read their story again, from the start to the end, and come out feeling so happy and cheesy and satisfied. It’s so cute 

Shows

Skam: Isak/Even, Noora/William, Sana/Yousef you can't make me choose I literally love all of them, I get so emotional thinking about the journey to each of their stories. Willam and Noora are my faves only for their season 1-season 2 storyline because the way they got butchered in the last seasons I'd like to forget but I bloody love them, toxic or not. Love the whole season so much. But Skam owns me so I'm not even surprised.

Maya Hart/Lucas Friar: didn't end up being a couple but was one of my favorite ships I actually was obsessed with them and they meant a lot to me, very much so, now it feels like a blur but I remember caring so much and wanting them to be together. I still believe they would, but not sure because we never even got a confirmation or truth if what people noticed and loved about the show was even planned or real. My question is there is no way it wasn't real there was far too much evidence for it but meh. I feel this way too about Riley and Farkle.

Fighter/Tutor from Why R U: as a BL show not my favorite BL show but as a story of these two? One of my best couples, they really got me to feel a lot of emotions and  I really enjoyed watching their story unfold. Can still always rewatch and get emotional at different scenes. 

I'm really not someone that has faves though it's even hard for me to remember couples I care about, I always love some couples but it never sticks unless I absolutely become obsessed with the story somehow, so my list isn't as detailed because there probably is much more but I can't remember atm, and it's always changing, depending on how I view or think about romance during that time.

for the ask game you reblogged - 10 for four weddings and no funeral? 3 and 4 for and it all comes down to you? 1 and 2 for tomorrow never knows? :)

10: Why did you choose this pairing for this particular story?

okay so, the plot inspiration for four weddings and no funeral came from a reddit thread about how colin's waistcoat in the episode "no weddings and a funeral" might have been inspired by simon callow's character, who wears many glorious waistcoats over the course of four weddings and a funeral (last version of this title i'll type, i swear). my brain upon learning that immediately went "wedding fic! a relationship progression across other peoples' special days!" but i wasn't sure what colin pairing i wanted for it. around that same time, i was following the fic "things you can't unsay" by manuronaldo, which began as a gen colin & jamie fic but had started heading towards romance. i then had that very dangerous writerly thought: "let me put a scene down and see if it goes anywhere......" and here we are! i think the plot just really works with jamie in a way it wouldn't have worked with another afc richmond player and colin, especially given where jamie is at by the end of S2 and seems ready for a healthier romantic relationship post-telling keeley he loves her while accepting she's moved on. jamie is also just a veeeery fun pov to write from. i love that bastard (affectionate)

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

"Or maybe, just maybe, they’re two teenagers holding hands on a bed, in a suburban house, on a quiet street, within a small town, and the universe is bored of them." just about sums up everything i want for steve and eddie. let them rest!

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

i have decided to cheat and give two... fun line: "You’re the most badass woman I’ve ever beheld and when this is over, I think we should platonically have 2.5 babies who will one day take over the world." not fun line: "Steve can’t tell me what to do. He’s dead."

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?

ranting in your dms definitely inspired a huge chunk of tomorrow never knows! i just couldn't stop thinking about how fucked up it would be on the other side of a time loop, having to watch someone you care about die (and sometimes at their own hand) and having to trust their word for it that it's okay, everything will reset with their death. and it would be particularly brutal for steve harrington, mr. protector of the universe. i was definitely worried the fic would get very repetitive very fast, so when structuring it, i tried to make sure a good portion of the scenes weren't also in "and it all comes down to you" and that we still get to see steve growing into his feelings for eddie and reckoning with his concept of heroism (it isn't just someone who dies! or comes precariously close to it!)

2: What scene did you first put down?

the back half of loop 81! specifically this: “What if—” “…this is the last time,” Eddie says with a weary sigh. How many times has Steve delivered the same line, how many times has Eddie stolen it from him to reach the inevitable end faster. “You say that every time.” Trapped in his throat is something tough and thorny. His voice comes out scratched when he asks, “Am I always so predictable?” “Yeah.” Eddie smiles, a touch rueful. “It’s the best.” my little hat nod to palm springs, a superior time loop film. i wrote this at the breakfast table while on vacation with my family lol

put one of a fic title in my ask + questions about it

[cuppachar]

I just saw pictures of my new baby niece and now I am dying to know what your take on how Roy and Jamie would both react to holding their baby for the first time? How about the team? Would Jamie be a complete natural from the get go? Would Roy be scared even though he helped raise Phoebe? Would Jan Maas be a secret baby whisperer? Would Isaac and Beard both start balling their eyes out? Would Sam and Dani be awkward but awesome? The choices are in the millions and I am here for it!

Hands down Roy is going to cry! Like big ugly crying.

He'll go out to the team who are in the hall and tell them 'it's a boy!'

They'll jump for joy - screaming and yelling and crying and lifting Roy up - and then be told off by a nurse for the ruckus! Isaac cries the most.

And Jamie will be quietly contemplative and whisper into the baby's head as he lies on his chest. "Hey, Jam Tartt, you're finally here. " he tells the baby. "I know I've been a mess, but I promise you I'll be the best version of myself. I will look after you. I'll keep you safe. I'll protect you and I'll be proud of you no matter what you do and who you love," and then he kisses Jam's head. "I promise you I'll make you so proud to be my son. I'll be the best dad, I promise you Jam."

And Ted overhears from the door and has tears in his eyes and tells Jamie that he's already proud of Jamie and he's already all those things to the baby.

(head-canon: Yes, Jan Mass is a secret baby whisperer and Jam giggles every time Sam tells him 'be a goldfish' and Isaac loves to burp the baby, although the sick down the back of his shirt is 'not cool baby Jam, not cool at all," and Dani tells Jam Tartt all these wonderful and bright stories and Jam might not have a clue what he's saying but his eyes always light up when he does. Colin likes to buy Jam Tartt cool baby clothes and accessories, which Roy (and Jamie) tell him he shouldn't (Roy: he's not your designer accessory, Colin) and Jamie secretly loves his little cool dude and (and Colin, his self-declared stylist). Will is the babysitter - especially during practice and matches - and occasionally on date night too. Beard tells everyone he's not a baby person but Ted secretly spies him making baby talk and blowing raspberries because he knows Jam Tartt loves it and Jam loves his Grampy Uncle Beard.

And Ted - Grandpa Ted - sits and talks while holding the baby. About anything and everything and Roy swears that the baby is enamoured with it and Ted's voice. Jan Mass might whisper the baby with his weird facts and reality checks, away from an impending baby tantrum, but Ted lulls Jam into prolonged relaxation, voice warming and bubbling, while Jam plays with his fingers or touches his 'tache. Sometimes Jamie likes to sit and listen too.

And Jamie is a natural. Natural instincts. Natural love. Unconditional. Everything opposite to his own dad. Roy tells him "you got it in the bag, Tartt." And Roy does question himself. Like he questions and overthinks everything, but these people, his family - Jamie, Ted, Beard, even Phoebe when he asks her if she thinks he's a good dad (Roy: Fuck, Phoebe, you just made me cry) - the entire AFC Family, well, they make him BELIEVE it too. One day, after work, Jamie tugs him into the baby's nursery and nudges him with his shoulder while they look down at Jam Tartt. "I had a poster of Roy Kent looking over me when I was a kid," Jamie smiles proudly. "Our baby has the real deal. The Real Fucking Roy Kent.")

Hello, thank you for your writing, it's so good and we're all so lucky at how frequently you post! Prompt to consider if you want- ' I'll pick you up from the airport'

This is the (much requested) follow-up to trapped. I hope it delivers :)

no escaping your love #57: baby i just don’t trust myself with you (a modern au) (Read 1-56 here.)

#97. “I’ll pick you up at the airport.”

Colin said you’re coming back from India tomorrow

Yep

Why didn’t you tell me?

I didn’t realize you’d care

Kate

Anthony.

How about this:

I’ll pick you up at the airport

And then we can go to dinner and just talk

Kate 🌷 is typing…

Kate 🌷 is typing…

Kate 🌷 is typing…

Okay.

Look, Anthony knew from the minute he suggested it that it was a bad idea.

He and Kate hadn’t spoken since she turned him away from her flat after he told her about calling off his engagement. Colin had, in fact, told him that Kate had been in India for a few weeks, but that wasn’t the main motivation for Anthony to reach out to her: Colin had also told him that Freddie was out of the picture.

He hadn’t needed Colin to elaborate.

The fact that she’d agreed to him coming had to be a good sign, right? He’d been wondering about it the entire drive to Heathrow. She wasn’t freezing him out which, frankly, she had every right to do. He’d been a complete idiot when it came to her and Siena and just—all of it. He knew he had some groveling to do, and some answers to give, but hopefully he’d get to ask some questions, too.

Like, namely: why didn’t she tell him about Freddie?

As he pulled into the arrivals gate, it quickly became clear that his next question would have to be: why on Earth did she not tell me she was with Mary and Edwina!

Of course, Colin didn’t either, but that was exactly like Colin, wasn’t it?

He exchanged pleasantries with Mary and Edwina as he loaded their things into the boot of his car, Kate offering him a rather monotone hello. He pretended not to notice the scuffle between her and Edwina that ended with Kate in the front passenger seat and Edwina and Mary in the back.

The utter silence on the drive was stifling. He tugged on his collar like it would relieve some of the tension. He caught Edwina’s eye through the rear view mirror and it was clear that she was watching the front seat with rapt attention. Mary at least had the decency to keep her gaze trained firmly out the window.

Kate played Candy Crush on her phone. Candy Crush. You know, that game people only play when they desperately wish to be anywhere else, doing anything else? A true ego boost.

When they arrived at the Sharma flat, Mary very firmly told Kate that they would see her tomorrow when she came to pick up her bags, and then they disappeared up the front steps.

“How does the pub sound? Get some good British food in you.” Typically, that earned him an eye roll and/or a rant on the blandness of British food; today, she merely shrugged. “Kate.”

“Fine. It’s fine.”

He took her to this dumpy little pub they’d been going to for ages. Despite it being barely four in the afternoon, they got themselves a pitcher of beer and filled their glasses practically up to the brim.

Truthfully, he didn’t know where to start.

But Kate, once she was in it, very rarely backed away from a fight. She took a swig of beer, set her glass down, straightened her shoulders and said, point blank, “I broke up with Freddie.”

“Why?”

She scoffed.

“It doesn’t concern you.”

“Oh, I think it does,” he said, leaning his elbows on the table and pushing himself closer to her. “Considering what I told you two weeks ago.” He swallowed, thinking of the pain in Siena’s eyes as he ended things, and then the mirrored pain in Kate’s as he tried to get her to see sense, to take his hand and jump off the cliff with him.

“Anthony, you’ve made it very clear that you don’t want what I want.”

“What, a family?” She nodded, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. He barely managed to hold in his laugh. “What on Earth gave you that idea?”

“I’ve known you for five years! I know how you operate with girls, love them and leave them, and how you feel about your duty to your family and how stifling it all is for you and I don’t want to be part of the trap!” He could feel people turn to look at them as her voice all but yelled out the last part, but he didn’t care and took her hand anyway.

“You do know me. And that’s why I know you could never trap me.” He squeezed her hand. “It’s you, Kate. It’s only ever been you.”

“Don’t say it if you don’t mean it,” she said, quietly, like she didn’t even really want to say it.

“I mean it,” he promised, even though he knew that wasn’t enough, even though he knew it would probably be something that he would repeat to her for days, weeks, months, years, it didn’t matter, as long as he had her.

He watched her eyes flick down to his lips and he kissed her without a second thought, then took her back to his flat and showed her as many times as he could just how much she really, truly meant to him.
