Dex: *breaks into the registery files aka supposedly the one of the highest security databases in the whole world and while he’s doing it breaks into all the other intelligent species networks as well. Supposedly manifests at twelve but he says he’s always been good with gadgets so he probably manifested before that. Manages to restrict the abilities of a literal super elf who was ‘made’ by some on the smartest elves and gnomes to ever exist (they spent years ‘making’ her by the way.) does this all before he turns 14* litterally everyone in the series: yeah that seems normal

AU where Miguel ends up destroying the universe wherein he reunites with his daughter, destroying everything and everyone in that known world yes but, all except for one person.
Hobie Brown. The Scarlet Witch of Earth 99934, the Earth Miguel destroyed.
Hobie Brown watched as his world slowly began to dissipate, glitches and holes in his world unraveled everything around him. He could do nothing as those he love withered away into tiny glitching pixels. His family, his friends, his-
His /love/. 
Miles was calling him frantically, terrified as his parents disappeared and his apartment crumbled underneath him. Hobie teleported to him immediately, racing to his side as Miles screamed and sobbed for him to /do something, Hobie! Save my parents! They’re gone! Bring them BACK!/
Hobie tried, using his magic he /tried/ to stabilize his realm. He used all his energy into attempting to bridge his world back together, to stitch it together again but-it was already too late.
Miles disappeared in his arms, the two of them huddled on the floor as Hobie tried using his magic to keep him attached to their realm but, how could he keep him here when his world was withering right before their /eyes/? If he couldn't save his world, how could he save Miles?
He watched as the last bits of Miles slipped through his fingers, turning to glitching particles as they fell past him hands and Hobie lost /everything/. Everything he knew was gone and he had been spit out into some unknown dimension, a universe caked in darkness.
For the longest time, he hadn't the slightest clue why he was the only one to survive. His universe was gone, why hadn't he disappeared with /him/? With the one person he’d give everything for?
He had tried killing himself multiple times. Had used his magic to suffocate himself, had tried jumping, burning, overdosing, anything to get it all to /stop/.
Nothing had ever worked.
Nexus beings aren’t meant for death, they cannot die unless a being with greater powers than their own will it so. But, Hobie was stuck in a universe all alone, one overtaken by complete and udder darkness. Nothing could kill him, not in this dimension.
But...perhaps the universe left him a gift. 
With his abilities, he could bend reality. Before his universe was destroyed, he had just been on the cusp of learning all he could about his newborn abilities. He soon found out he could travel to other dimensions, open up rifts between new realities different from his own.
Hobie Brown soon got his hands on an ancient artifact called; The Darkhold and used it’s powers along with his own to create a new world where he and Miles were together again, where everything was perfect, and they were /happy/.
He couldn’t save Miles then but, he brought him back and saved him now, wasn't that all that mattered?
They lived happily for months and Hobie almost forgot about his grief, all his pain.
But, of course, happiness wasn’t meant to last long for beings like himself.
An army of Spider-men from alternate universes had come to stop him, to set the multiverse back in order. They claimed he was corrupting and destroying the “canon”, whatever that meant. In the end, Hobie lost control of the world he had created whilst fighting off all the spider variants and their supposed leader eventually had him cornered.
“You can’t just disrupt the canon as you please,” Miguel O’Hara told him. “Believe me, I’ve tried to live the life I wanted. But, sometimes, we can’t have it all.”
“Oh, yeah?” Hobie growled. “And, who decides that? My world was /destroyed/! Everyone I knew, gone. All my friends, all of my family, they all disappeared and I was left with /nothing/! Do ya’ have any idea what that’s like?”
Miguel sighed and nodded mournfully. “I do,” He told him. “Because I /caused/ the death of a universe when I tried to live the life I wanted and it cost everything.”
A hologram shows up and shows Miguel desperately trying to save a little girl while the universe collapses around them. Hobie’s eyes widen and he watches, ever so slowly going cold, going numb as he realizes-
That was /his/ universe/. That was /his/ world.
And Miguel...Miguel had been the one to destroy it.
Everything he had gone through, all the grief, all the pain, all the destruction, all the painpainpainpain-
It had been because of /this/ man.
“You...” Hobie breathed and glanced up at him, his magic already cracking at the edge of his fingertips and Miguel tenses. “It was /YOU/!”
He nearly explodes everything and everyone in his fit of rage. An anger and /wrath/ like never before overtaking him and he could no longer control himself. He let his magic go wild, attempting to destroy everything in his path to get to the person that /took/ his world from him-
The person that took /Miles from him/.
He doesn’t know what happens next. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he blacked out but, he remembered nothing more after it all. It was as if he was asleep for the longest time before reawakening-years later he comes to find not long after he wakes up again.
Miguel and those Spiders had created a vault to hold him in so he couldn’t escape, a place to keep him /monitored/ and another anomaly had destroyed that vault while attempting to stop an inter dimensional super being such as Hobie himself.
Well, no matter. He was out. No one could keep him caged any longer.
And, he could finally get his revenge. For himself. For his world.
For /Miles/.
And nothing, /no one/, would get in his way again.

In Every Universe - Part 7
Warnings: Description of torture, violence, death, angst
“Any second now.” A deep voice pulls you from the darkness, your eyes fluttering opening slightly, even with the blurriness you can see a man in a lab coat standing above you.
“Ah look at that she’s awake.” Another voice, slightly deeper and more sinister, rings through your ears as your eyes search around for the source.
“Where am I?” Your voice is scratchy and you wince at how dry your throat feels.
“I wish I could tell you that information little firecracker but, oh what does it matter anyway since you are going to become our little soldier.” 
You grunt in pain when the bed you are laying in starts to move, the top of the bed folding up slightly so you are no longer laying down but sitting up. Blinking rapidly as a few more lights are turned on, your eyes adjust to the sudden change and the first thing they land on is a metal chair with some sort of contraption around it.
“Let me go.” You pull your arms, but they stay locked in place and you look down to see that your wrists and feet are bound to the medical bed you are on.
“Now why would we do that when the fun is about to start?” The source of the other voice moves into your field of visions, as it slowly starts coming back.
“Rumlow?” You tilt your head in confusion, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips as your eyes drop to see the symbol on his arm. “No.”
“Oh yes little firecracker. Welcome to Hydra.” He chuckles as his eyes scan the room as more people come into your field of view, many of them with guns and others in lab coats with needles. “Hail Hydra!”
“Hail Hydra.” They all shout back at him without missing a beat and his look turns sinister as he turns to you.
“You know you have us to thank for being alive, right? It really surprised me, and I think everyone in this room, when your little avengers buddies left you for dead.”
“They wouldn't dare. Not unless they already knew I was dead.” Rumlow raises a brow as you spit your words out, trying not to show how each and everything you said just caused your throat to feel like it was on fire.
“But they didn’t even try to rescue you. The building collapsed and they walked away. I mean that girlfriend of yours was screaming a lot, I think I perforated an ear drum listening to it as that other hot chick cried next to her.” You lock your jaw turning your head to avoid his gaze knowing what he is trying to do. “But the great Tony Stark said they would come back when there was less chance of us still being there.” 
“Here you go boss.” Your eyes flick up to watch one of his men hand him a remote while two others wheel in a screen so it's in front of you.
“I even have the proof.” He clicks a button on the remote and the screen flickers to life showing a freeze frame of the outside of the building you were trapped in. 
“This proves nothing.” Your eyes flick between him and the screen as he holds up a finger.
“Just one second little firecracker, I haven’t even pressed play yet.” With that he presses play and your eyes zone in on the screen.
You watch as a big dust cloud covers the camera lens, you assume the building has collapsed or part of it since the camera is still standing. You watch as the dust clears and the first thing you see is Wanda on her knees, screaming in agony as she looks to the building, Natasha crouched behind her with her arms tightly wrapped around the girl. You can’t mistake the look of devastation on Natasha’s face as the both of them look helplessly on.  
You watch as Steve and Tony make their way over to the two, Steve gently helping Nat to her feet as Tony reaches for Wanda. She fights against him, hitting his chest as he turns her around to face him, while he wraps his arms around her pulling her close. You can’t help the faint smile that grows when Wanda wraps her arms around him and allows him to lift her up bridal style as she hides her face against the chest of his suit. 
The screen flickers slightly as you watch with tears in your eyes as Stark turns around with Wanda in his arms heading off screen, to where you can assume the jet is parked, before something moves in frame at the top of the screen before it is turned off.
“You see, they left you. They didn’t even bother to search for you. Your girlfriend left in the arms of the man who killed her parents.” Your eyes lock with Rumlows as he smiles evilly.
“They have made amends, he was comforting her. They thought I was dead so why would they search?”
“But they are meant to be your team, your friends. Your family.” He says smugly as he motions to two of his men who make their way to the chair in front of you and undo the restraints on your arms. “So tell me why did they just turn around and not even check.”
“How am I still alive?” Rumlow smiles at that bending down to match your height as he harshly grabs onto your jaw.
“Well that's a little thing we like to call our magic serum. I’m sure the avengers heard of the winter soldier, since you stole us from him.” You try to tug your head out of his grip but he simply tightens it and pulls your face so you are looking directly at him. “We think it's about time we find a replacement.”
“Fuck you. You fucking asshole. Let me the fuck go!” You squirm in your chair managing to jolt your head out of his grip but everyone around him simply laughs at your struggle.
“I’m sorry but no can do. It’s a one way trip to cuckoo land for you.”
The restraints on your wrists and ankles are removed but quickly replaced by handcuffs that don’t allow you to use your powers, struggling against the two men who grab you by either arm and start dragging you to the other chair. They forcefully shove you into it, restraining you with the straps and pushing your head back against the back of the chair then strap that down to. 
One of them squishes your cheeks together, forcefully opening your mouth as they put the guard in which you try to spit out but it earns you a harsh punch to the face. You try to fight the restraints as a person in a lab coat pulls the top of the machine down and presses it against your temples.
“Now this is going to be fun.” You look at Rumlow and his sinister smirk as he pushes a button and everything goes dark.
/\/\/\/\/\
“Hello little firecracker.” Rumlow takes off his helmet, his gaze only on you as you back into Nat slightly whose hand holds onto your arm protectively. “Why don’t you come here so you can come home.”
“This is her home.” All eyes turn to Peter, who doesn’t have his mask on, tears in his eyes as they glare at Rumlow.
“Oh is that so?” Rumlow looks back to you, tilting his head in question. “Do you even remember who these people are to you?” 
You look around the room, avoiding looking in anyone's eyes as they look at you in question, a gentle but reassuring squeeze on your arm brings your attention to Natasha. Your eyes don’t meet as she gives your arm a quick, barely noticeable, squeeze then a longer one. Your brain clicks onto what's happening straight away as she squeezes your arm a few times quickly, as your eyes go back to Rumlow. 
.-.. .. .
(Lie)
“No, I don't remember any of them.” You can feel the way the energy in the room changes, a few small sniffles being picked up by your ears, but you keep your eyes on the man in front of you.
“Well then, there is no issue with you coming back home is there?” You shake your head yanking your arm from Natasha’s grip forcefully shoving her off you before quickly making your way to Rumlow. 
“Sir.” You stand in front of him, feeling the many pairs of eyes burning holes in the back of your head, as he bends down slightly to whisper in your ear.
“Hail Hydra.”
“Hail Hydra.” The words fall from your lips easily, but they make you feel sick on the inside and you know what you have to do. 
“Good, seems like I won’t have to retrain my little firecracker after all. Thanks for keeping her safe for me.” Rumlow puts his mask back on as his hand harshly grabs your arm and he attempts to leave the room with you. “Come on now, don't be stubborn.”
“What’s my name?” You know the question has taken him by surprise when his grip on your arm loosens ever so slightly.
“You don’t have a name.” 
“Everyone has a name. So what the fuck is mine?” You pull your arm from his, and you watch as he looks around the room, but you don’t dare turn to see what he is looking at.
“What have you done to our little firecracker? She has never been so…” He looks down at you tilting your head back with his finger under your chin. “Disobedient.” 
“Nothing apart from keeping her fed and watered.” You try and turn your head downwards not wanting to look at the man who took you from your friends but he simply grips your jaw and keeps your head in place. 
“That's more than she deserves. She is a being of mass destruction, a killer … a monster. And you wanted to make sure she was treated civilly. You people do make me laugh.”
“Just because she has done wrong does not mean she deserves to be treated any differently to any of the other prisoners that have been in that cell.” You feel your heart start pumping the adrenaline around your body as you slowly pull energy in towards you, feeling it growing inside you as Steve speaks.
“You avengers think that just because you treat someone humanly means that they will change their ways? Well, well, well, how wrong you are. Isn’t that right my little firecracker?”
“What the fuck is my name?” You spit, finally pulling your head from his grip. 
“You don’t have one. You’re a nobody. A disease on this earth who simply follows the commands of those above her, like a lost little puppy just trying to find a home in a place where there is no such thing.” 
/\/\/\/\/\
“What is your name agent?” You spit out the gum shield as Rumlow stands in front of you with a table next to him full of various … items. 
“My name is Y/n y/l/n. My brother's name is Matty. My parents were John and Anne y/l/n. I am an avenger, someone who fights alongside earth's mightiest heroes.” You gasp when your head whips to the side, the sound of Rumlows fist connecting with your cheekbone shatters the silence in the small room.
“You are Agent P, also known as Vulcan since V was already taken. Shame.  You work for Hydra, you were born to serve Hydra.” Your temples burn as another round of electricity is forced through your body as Rumlow repeats his words. “You are a nobody, a disease to this earth. A puppy who will follow its owners every command to keep him happy.”
“I will never work for you.” You try to fight the restraints, ignoring the pain they cause as they cut into your skin and the way blood starts to trickle down your skin.
“What is your name?” Rumlow bends down, his eyes staring into yours as his hand reaches for another item on the table.
“My name is Y/n fucking y/l/n. And I will fight you until my dying fucking breath.” Rumlow chuckles at that, bringing the knife in his hand between you and him placing the point on your knee.
“Wrong answer.” He pushes the knife into your leg just above where your knee should be and your body writhes as you shout in pain, biting down on your teeth trapping your tongue in the process.
“Fuck you. I could do this all fucking day you asshole.” You spit blood from your mouth moving your head quickly to headbutt him smiling as he tumbles backwards landing on the floor on his ass. 
“Learnt that line from old Stevie I assume.” Rumlow wipes some blood from his cheekbone before moving quickly and twisting the knife in your leg causing your body to double over, as much as it can in restraints, in pain.
“Fuck you Rumlow. Fuck Hydra. Fuck all of you.” Rumlow simply ignores you as he pulls the knife out and you grit your teeth avoiding looking at the pool of the blood that forms around your feet. 
“You’re gonna have to start playing nice. I mean we did save your life, give you two new legs and even gave you some super soldier serum to help heal that hole in your side. Yet here you are, spitting blood at me and not even thanking me for doing so.”
“I will never thank you. You are scum on this earth. I will get out of here and I will fucking destroy you.” You keep your expression stoic as his fist collides with the other side of your face. 
“Well I have a plan to make you give in to us.” Your eyes move to the door as two soldiers wheel in a TV screen.
“What is this?” Your eyes dart to Rumlow as he chuckles sadistically as he is handed the TV remote.
“Just watch.” 
Your heart clenches as the screen turns and the first person you see is Wanda, alone in the kitchen nursing a cup of what you assume is tea. You smile at the sight of her, even though you can see the sadness on her face at least you can see she is okay.
“I asked what this is?”
“Well can’t you see? It’s the avengers compound. This was recorded yesterday. But we have a live feed, but it's still early for them so there's no movement. So I guess you get to see this.”
Your eyes flick to Rumlow for a second and warily back to the screen and you feel your stomach drop. Vision enters the kitchen, placing his hand on Wanda’s back and leaning down to kiss the side of her head. She doesn’t move away, she looks up at him with a small smile conversing with him as his hand rubs up and down her back. 
You feel tears build in your eyes as she turns in her seat to embrace him, her arms wrapped his waist and her head against his stomach, as Vision wraps his arms around her shoulders. He kisses the top of her head a few times and you see her arms squeeze him. 
You turn away from the screen and Rumlow smirks before you feel another shot of electricity go through your body.
/\/\/\/\/\
 “What is my name?” You grit your teeth as you try and keep the building energy at bay, but Rumlow only chuckles.
“Your name is Vulcan and I am bringing you home. You were Y/n y/l/n and I am about to destroy everything you used to be.”
As he finishes his sentence the other 2 doors that lead into the room burst open as bullets start being sprayed in. Steve manages to use his shield to block some as Wanda uses her magic to protect those whose suits are not bulletproof, or don’t have a metal arm to simply deflect them. You go to run to help, but an arm around your throat stops you and you feel the air being pulled from your lungs before the back of your knee is kicked and your leg collapses. Your airway is now nearly completely restricted as you see blackspots start to form in your vision as you watch your old friends, your enemies, fight with your team.
“I want you to watch as we kill every single one of them. Starting with the boy who you love like Matty, but could never fully replace the hole in your heart. The hole you created.” You gasp as his grip loosens slightly so you don’t pass out. “What is your name?”
“Y/n y/l/n.” You breathe harshly as you watch Peter be flung across the room by something that seems to be a ball of energy and when you look to the source you see old hydra weapons that Steve had been up against in the war.
“How is this possible? I thought we destroyed them all.” Steve flings his shield at a soldier sending him through the window before catching it as it comes back to him. 
“Even shield has its secrets.” Rumlow laughs as he grips your neck, turning your head to watch as two more men in big body armour walk in with the same weapons.
“Stop this.” You plead as you watch them continuously shoot energy towards Wanda’s shields and you watch as she struggles to keep them up.
“What is your name?”
“Y/n fucking y/l/n” You wiggle about pulling his arm as hard as you can off of you, using the hand to hand combat skills Natasha taught you to flip him over your shoulder. 
You bend down putting your knee into his side, leaning all of your body weight on him, one hand wrapping around his throat as you ball the other into a fist and lift it in the air. Before he even has time to try and move you bring your fist down hard, engulfed in flames, against the side of his mask watching the sparks fly as it makes contact. 
“My name is Y/n y/l/n. Y/n yl/n. Y/n fucking y/l/n.” After each say of your name you hit his mask smiling as you watch it start breaking with the intensity of the hits and the heat from the fire. 
“Shit Wanda!” You lose concentration for a second at the sound of Natasha panic seeing Wanda being flung across the room by the energy from one of the guns and you feel your stomach sink and your heart stop at the sight. You don’t know what this feeling is, not remembering her but you hate it so you decide to do something.
“Shit!” Before you can even think about what you are doing you stand up, giving one last hit to Rumlows mask, with your boot, causing it to fly off and seeing him cover his face as the fire from your body burns his skin.
You don’t think for a second longer before you run and jump, using the energy you’ve been holding in to fly you across the room as quickly as possible, your whole body engulfing itself in flames as your only focus is on the woman on the floor, the sight of her hurt nearly enough to hurt you physically as you land in front of her. 
Her wide eyes look up to yours as you look down at her with a worry free smile, extending your arms outwards and creating a wall of fire, ignoring the way you feel a few bullets penetrate the wall you have created. You turn around slowly, dropping your arms to the side as you rise off the ground a few feet, looking to your side you're amazed to see what looks like wings made out of your flames moving as if that is what is keeping you in the air. 
The shooting stops as you see the hydra shoulders take a few steps back, their eyes wide with fear. One of the men with the energy weapon thinks himself brave as he takes a step forward priming his weapon but you reach a hand out in front of you slowly turning it and imagining the energy around the gun heating up and melting it. You hide your surprise when you watch the gun turn to molten in the soldier's hands and he instinctively drops it and tries to stop the burning of his hands.
“Hail fucking Hydra bitch.” You clench your fist pulling your arm harshly back towards your body, watching as the soldier starts writhing in pain feeling the energy building in his body before he spontaneously combust and drops to the floor. 
You don’t even flinch at the fact you have just killed someone with your powers, and it felt good. You don’t even flinch when you swing your hand in front of you before clenching it in a fist and pulling it towards you watching as the rest of the men fall to the ground as they burn from the inside out. 
You move over to where Rumlow is, his face showing fear but only for a second before it turns into a smirk.
“Look what you have become, the one thing you said you never would. A monster.” Your feet gently touch the ground as you crouch down grabbing his jaw in your hand allowing the flames to lick and burn at his skin.
“I may be a monster but at least I am not a bastard sadist who works for a man with a red skull.” You grip his jaw tighter and bring your face level as your other hand pushes down on his chest allowing it to start burning away slowly. “What is your name?”
“Hail hydra.” You don’t give him a chance to break the fake tooth in his mouth and poison himself as you push the rest of the energy you’ve built up into him shouting at the pain it causes you using so much so quickly. 
“Fuck you.” You say weakly as you fall next to his now chard and unrecognisable body, once again seeing those black spots in your vision.
“Baby!” You see a blur of red in your vision before your eyes roll to the back of your head and everything goes black.

A Builder, a Researcher, and a Rooftop, Ch. 9: Vega and Altair
prev | next | index
Also on AO3
------------
The builder’s eyes trailed across the sky, trying to keep up with Qi’s arm and words as he pointed out and explained some of the brighter stars in the sky that night.
“...And that is Deneb,” Qi said, pointing at Cygnus’s bright head. “It’s a supergiant right about in the middle of its lifespan.”
The builder frowned. “Lifespan? Massive balls of gas have lives?”
Qi shrugged. “You and I have the same question. They are inanimate, and therefore not living. I believe we use terms like ‘life’ and ‘death’ as an analogous description of how stars progress from start to finish. There isn’t really a better set of terms.”
“What’ll happen when it ‘dies,’ then?”
“Well, for a star as big as Deneb, it will eventually start fusing heavier and heavier elements as its fuel runs out. Eventually, its core might become so massive that the energy it produces can no longer counter its own gravity. So it violently collapses and implodes, which then causes a massive explosion.”
“Ohhh, so that’s a supernova.”
Qi nodded. “Precisely! And after all of that, with enough stellar mass, what remains is the imploded matter, compressed into such a small space that it becomes the densest thing in the universe, and therefore has the most gravity in the universe. So much that not even light can escape it. So much that it even warps time.”
“A black hole,” they muttered together.
“Black holes are pretty crazy,” the builder said. “And kinda scary. Imagine getting sucked into one of those.” They shuddered.
“Indeed. I imagine having your body completely crushed from all directions while time stretches out infinitely is rather unpleasant.”
“They can’t…move, right? They can’t travel anywhere?”
“Motion is relative. Could they move in relation to what?”
“Earth. A black hole isn’t gonna pose a threat to us, is it?”
Qi shook his head. “Impossible. The closest one is thought to be around 1560 light years away. Even if it was heading in a straight line directly towards us, which is incredibly unlikely, it would take a very, very long time to get here.”
“Hm. Thought so. When I was in 4th grade, a kid in my class tried to scare us by saying that a black hole was coming to suck up the Earth in a hundred years or something.”
“That child was a simpleton,” Qi said flatly, causing the builder to burst out laughing. “I hope they grew up to be an adult with more sense.”
“Well, last I heard, he didn’t become a scientist, so at least there’s that.”
“I wouldn’t assume so. …You didn’t believe him, did you?”
“Well…” the builder let out a nervous chuckle. “I did, but only for like 30 seconds.”
“At least you realized the mistake. I could at least expect that much of you.”
“And I didn’t grow up to be a scientist either. Take that as you will.”
“Even so… Are you sure you’ve never had any serious experience with astronomy? You at least seem to have an aptitude for the high-level, conceptual aspects of the field.”
“Nope. I’ve done a little stargazing here and there. I know some of the big constellations and stars and stuff. Oh, and I had an old friend back in high school who was super into astrology and would give me full birth charts and readings and everything.” Qi’s lip curled in disgust. “But uh…that’s not astronomy, is it?”
“If you even dare utter that word again in my presence…” Qi muttered with a steely glare. “…I will never speak to you again.”
The builder laughed again, waving a hand. “Okay, okay.”
“Even those myths from the days before the formal development of science are better than whatever metaphorical snake-oil that pitiful excuse of a ‘discipline’ shills.”
“Well, at least I know one or two of those… If I tell you one, would you forgive me about the whole astrology thing?” they said with a cheeky grin and a tilt of the head.
“Ugh, yes please. Anything to distract myself from that.”
“Oh.” They were just joking. “Okay, well uh, since we’re talking about Cygnus, this one’s a little bit about Cygnus. Mostly about Vega and Altair, though. Let me see…” they hummed, trying to dredge the story out of their memory. The scowl on Qi’s face eased into his usual flat expression, but with a faint light of curiosity in his eyes.
The builder took a deep breath and began.

The Weaver and the Cowherd
Once upon a time, long, long ago, the King and Queen of Heaven had 7 beautiful daughters. The youngest was a talented weaver, spinning silky, wispy threads to make her family’s royal garb and all the clouds in the sky.
One night, the royal sisters descended to their favorite spring on Earth to bathe and relax. They shed their soft gowns and splashed gleefully in the pure waters.
Just then, a simple cowherd from the nearby village happened by, traveling home late from the big city after trading his wares. He heard the bubbly laughter coming from the direction of the spring. Who could be there so late? Carefully, he crept towards the spring under the cover of the brush, and laid eyes upon the most beautiful maidens he’d ever seen. They had to be divine beings. In particular, he was drawn to the youngest, watching two of her other sisters try to soak each other with amusement. She giggled at the sight, and as soon as the cowherd heard the tinkly sound, he knew he was in love.
How could he get her attention? There was no way he could just walk out like this. Then he noticed the maidens’ gowns left off to the side. If he took them, they would have to come find them and run into him, too. So he sneakily gathered all the gowns and made off a short distance away into the trees to wait.
Soon enough, the maidens soon noticed the missing gowns. Knowing they couldn’t possibly return to Heaven like this, the youngest offered to look for them. She searched carefully through the woods, and eventually stumbled upon the cowherd sitting next to the pile of gowns, startling him. Averting his eyes, he sheepishly explained why he wanted to steal their clothes, and offered to give them back right away. Even though she was stark naked in front of someone she had just met, she couldn’t help but feel drawn to his shy smile and innocently kind heart. And so the weaver fell in love with the cowherd.
Returning to her sisters, gowns in hand, the weaver explained what had just happened, and that she was going to stay on Earth to wed and live with her new beloved. Her sisters grew worried. What would their parents think? Did she even know how to live on Earth? Who even was this man? But the weaver was adamant, and waved her sisters goodbye as they reluctantly ascended back to the heavens.
And so the weaver and the cowherd lived their new lives together. He continued raising his cattle, while she started mending and selling clothes for the village. They bore two healthy and virtuous sons, whom they loved dearly. For a time, they were as happy as can be.
But one day, the Queen of Heaven noticed her missing daughter. Upon questioning her other daughters, she found out about her predicament. She was most displeased with the secret marriage, and to a mortal, no less. One night, she appeared before the weaver and demanded that she return to Heaven. This was less an order from her mother, and more an order from the Queen.
Helpless, the weaver had no choice but to leave her family behind. She gave her sleeping husband and children one last kiss, and left for the Heavens with misty eyes, never to return.
Upon waking up, the cowherd and his children were devastated at the weaver’s sudden disappearance. They wept, not knowing what they could do to find her. It was then, to their collective shock, that the cowherd’s finest ox began speaking to them. It told them about what had happened last night. There was hope, however. The ox told the cowherd and sons how to make a special boat, one that could sail to the highest Heavens.
When they had finished the boat, the cowherd and his sons set sail right away. Up and up they went, above the trees, the houses, and even the tallest mountains. Soon, they could see the Heavenly Palace, where the weaver sat on her balcony, glumly weaving clouds while keeping watch on the village from high above. The cowherd and their sons cried out to her, overjoyed to see her safe. She heard them, and called back to them with delight. They were so close. Soon they could reunite as a family…
But the commotion caught the ear of the Queen of Heaven. Furious, she took the hairpin out of her hair and used it to slice a massive gash across the sky. Out of the gash came floods of silvery starlight, forming a turbulent, impassable river between the lovers. Forever separated.
The weaver begged her mother to relent. Every day, she pleaded on her knees, wailing, tears spilling from her eyes. The Queen was adamant. But eventually, she gave in. Once every year, she decreed, the cowherd and the weaver could meet.
And she held true to her promise. On the seventh day of the seventh month, as the weaver, the cowherd, and their children waited anxiously on the shores of the silver river of stars, a flock of magpies flew down and gathered right above the starlight, forming a bridge. Carefully, they all stepped on, surprised to see the magpies able to support them. Then they ran into each other’s arms, finally reunited, even for a short while.
------------
“Vega’s the weaver,” the builder said, pointing to the bright star above the Milky Way. “Altair and those other two stars next to it are the cowherd and their sons.” They pointed to the bright cluster of stars underneath the Milky Way. “And Cygnus is the magpie bridge crossing the river of the Milky Way.” They traced their finger along Cygnus’s cross shape.
Qi’s eyes followed their hand, bright with interest. “I see…”
They dropped their arm. “So, what do you think? Distracted enough?”
“Huh? Oh, right. That. Well, I suppose that’s a solid ‘yes,’ then.”
“Damn, looks like I’m just that good,” they chuckled.
“Indeed. I am obviously not an expert in literature, but you tell stories in an engaging way. Better than some of the books I have in my library, even.”
Their brow raised. Once again, they were joking, but the genuine praise threw them off guard. “High praise, honestly, coming from you. I’ve seen how many books you have.”
“Usually I avoid stories like these. Non-scientific accounts of things perfectly explainable by science. Although…I suppose they can still be enjoyed with a skilled storyteller and some suspension of disbelief.”
The builder felt a smidge lighter at his words, and a smile tugged at the corner of their lips. “If you’re ever in the mood for another, I know a couple more. Just say the word.”
“I’ll be sure to keep that in mind,” Qi hummed.
Silence fell, and they both looked out towards the sky again.
“...Perhaps engaging with something non-scientific every once in a while isn’t as bad as I’d thought…” Qi muttered under his breath.
The builder said nothing, but the smile on their face grew.
Far above their heads, Vega and Altair and Cygnus shone bright, twinkling against the great cosmic river and the vast, inky-black sky.
------------
A/N: The Weaver and the Cowherd is an actual ancient Chinese myth (Japan and Korea also have their versions of the same story). In fact, the Chinese names for Vega and Altair are literally "Weaver Girl Star" (织女星, Zhī Nǚ Xīng) and "Cowherd Star" (牛郎星, Niú Láng Xīng) respectively. So it's fitting that the first two spacecraft in the My Time verse we've been introduced to are the Vega 5 and Altair One.
The original story had the weaver's parents be the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, but I decided to change their names for this telling, since they're figures from Chinese folk religion. Given the game's setting, I think it's unlikely that they would be passed down through the scattered populace of the Age of Darkness in exactly the same form, especially with the establishment of new religions like the Church of the Light. Just some interesting lil tidbits.

{{ !!! Hi! So on my sideblog I reblogged your post about "women in STEM" and initially I mentioned The Locked Tomb, as did… many other people apparently. But you said it's actually about your OC! So I went to see if you have information pages, and your ask button is titled to please ask you about your OCs anyways!
So please consider this asking about your OCs. Especially Cordelia. How did SHE perform a lobotomy on herself? Anything you can share about why? And did she INTEND to tamper with things that are an affront to God, did she MEAN to make herself immortal?
I love hearing about peoples' OCs. Please tell me about Cordelia. And anyone else relevant to the post and Cordelia's motivations or reasons for doing those things, if you want!
Oh my god I am losing my mind and so happy, this might be a long one, so here we go. The plot of the specific segment of my universe that she’s in is about the reigning deity system, the immortals, starting to collapse. It starts with Cordelia, or cordy, and her sister cascade. This universe has a system where there are twenty four deities at any given time. They are divided into order or chaos, and then again into elder magics and vivid elementals. Immortals come in generations, and Cordelia is the fifth or sixth generation of the immortal of Undeath. Some generations swap out more or less frequently than others, with Undeath having the second fewest generations of any immortal line. Cordy’s sister, cascade is not meant to become an immortal. This is where the shenanigans start, because out of anger, she (cascade) tries to sabotage the process of regular humans becoming immortals and accidentally becomes an immortal herself, prevents someone else from becoming an immortal, and causes someone else to get the wrong alignment.
Now that that’s all out of the way, explaining the post.
Self performed lobotomies: not technically on herself, but on the body of her “past self”. Being an immortal has lots of side effects, reincarnation being one of them. Once an immortals body decomposes after they surrender their power, they get reincarnated. Only problem was, this immortal isn’t technically dead. And her body never decomposed because of a curse placed on it by an earlier immortal of Undeath. The immortal the body was from is actually walking around partially incorporeal as the personification of chaos, and Cordelia removes the brain from the body of her past self so her current self can use it as a bargaining chip to get answers from chaos and order.
Tampering with the natural order of things: as explained by the earlier paragraph, following the rules, cordy shouldn’t exist. Not only that but she thinks the system for selecting immortals is flawed, and that dividing immortals into chaos and order is order in and of itself, and therefore defeats the entire purpose of the system. She’s trying to get other people on her side to remove chaos and order from the system all together.
Experiments that are an affront to god: after failing to get answers from chaos, she attempts to perform a surgery to replace her brain with the brain she got from her past selfs body. Because she’s an immortal, and of Undeath specifically, this is not particularly dangerous, or at least it shouldn’t be. Best case scenario, she’ll get the answers she needs, and potentially even gain access to her old selfs powers. While this does work, it also discovers a dangerous ability. She can temporarily shut off her brain and bodily functions, turning into a zombie that doesn’t need food, water, or sleep. It can survive underwater and doesn’t feel pain or remorse. The only problem is that she can’t get out of this zombie state on her own, and needs either the immortal of storms or the immortal of psych to jumpstart her brain, and if she cannot get out of this state on her own before her brain runs out of oxygen, she could be stuck like that forever.
Making themselves immortal: I feel like there’s at least one thing in every other paragraph that falls under this umbrella, and this is already way to long and convoluted as it is.
I didn’t go too in depth on her personality here, because you mostly asked about how she related to the post, but if you want to learn more about her as a character and how she looks ill be happy to share.
Thanks so so so much for the ask -your local houseplant

head wounds
Tumblr media
Pairing: Thor Odinson x F!Reader Wordcount: 2.63K Warnings: mentions of smut. implied Bisexual!Thor. Wounds. Blood. probs improper use of Norse language. doped up!reader. major hurt/comfort. references to hair. Summary: It was probably a comical sight: Thor stomping through the circling, writhing mass of battle with you clutching at him like one of those gray, furry creatures he’d seen on Midgard. A/N: this could definitely be the same reader from be where you are, but you don't need to read it at all
It is another battle on another backwater planet. It’s not Thor’s fight, but he offers his aid regardless. He owes the Guardians and he likes to keep an eye on you. 
Plus, you’d never let him live it down.
We’re saving people here! They’re being oppressed - these trolls are encroaching on their village!
We can’t save everyone, Ást Mín. 
So you’re going to lie here and meditate? 
Is that...wrong?
No...but I’d greatly appreciate it if you did fight...just a little...a smidge of fighting...
Why are you getting on the floor? Wait - that’s underhanded. Oh - oh - 
Of course, you’d crawled on your hands and knees and taken him into your mouth and then how was he going to argue after that? You were on a mission to play at guardians of the galaxy. You were seemingly trying to rectify all the wrongs in the universe and he followed like your heavy, protective shadow.
He scans the battlefield, lips quirking when he finally spots you beheading something green with tentacles. The sight makes his chest expand - causes heat to siphon down to his cock. Gods - he should be keeping a clear head rather than planning every devastatingly lewd act he’s going to thrust upon you in his bed later. 
The air swells with blood and the stench of ash. It’s a scent he has learned - one that he has become accustomed to since he was a young man and Odin had sent him on his first campaign.
He’d had his heart in it then. He’d had his head in it, as well. Arrogant and boastful and unable to have any self-awareness. He’d fought and fucked his way through the realms and now all of this felt empty.  
An enormous troll crashes through the crowd, nearly barreling into him. Its yellowed eyes snag on Thor, its broken teeth dripping spit as it leers. It recognizes him, which shouldn’t be a surprise. He is still relatively famous, though now he is considered the failed king of Asgard. 
Thor sighs, marching forward as he readjusts his grip on Stormbreaker. He drops down before springing upward, cape rippling behind him as he splits the troll’s skull with the blade. There’s a crunch. The troll staggers, the roar caught in its throat melts into a gurgle before finally collapsing in a heap of dust. 
Easy. 
This is all terribly easy and he’d rather just get back to that tiny, metal room in the ship. He’d rather go over to you right now, pick you up and carry you to his bed where he’d take out the rest of his adrenaline. They always did that after battle. They’d done it for centuries. 
Where are you anyway? 
He searches the field again. There’s Drax tearing a purple beast to pieces. There’s Quill shooting a fungus-coated giant insect. There’s Nebula with her expression twisted into something pissed off, but that’s nothing new.
He finally sees a flash of your hair. You’re fighting smoothly - beautifully. Loki had always said that you were the better fighter out of the three of them. More elegant. There was minimal movement as you darted and repelled hit after hit until you’d see a vulnerable opening and take it. 
He leans against a rock, arms folded as he watches you.
“Thor!”
Quill appears next to him, his mask disappearing to reveal his eyes narrowed to slits. ‘Think you could stop drooling like an idiot and help?”
Thor keeps his gaze locked on you. “The battle is won,” he declares, he gestures to the battlefield with an outstretched palm. “It’s over.”
It’s true. He has fought in hundreds of different wars and he knows when one side has managed to beat the other to the point where there is a slim chance of recovery. It’s usually the side he’s on.
Except for Wakanda, but he wouldn’t think about that.
“It’s won,” he repeats for good measure, though a slight strain in his voice makes it sound more feeble than he intended.
Quill opens his mouth to protest before Thor freezes. Distracted by your opponent, you hadn’t realized that another sneaky troll was creeping up behind you. Thor yells and you turn, but it’s too late. The troll brings its club down on your head. It’s a blow that would have killed anyone who wasn’t enhanced and, while you might not be dead, it looks awful. You stumble forward, nearly falling flat on your face. Your hands tremble as you reach for your skull. There’s a slick of crimson beginning to drip down your temple. Thor inhales sharply. The troll continues to advance on you. 
“Jesus Christ,” Quill gasps and it snaps Thor awake. 
He takes a halting step forward - a second - a third and then he’s running - crashing through the mass of warriors - shoving people aside until he reaches you. The ground rumbles. The air begins to circulate with the ozone-bite of a storm. The clouds cluster and blacken. He’s burning blue - his body tingling - his muscles flexing beneath the onslaught of his own rage and grief and terror. He channels it all into his magic - his power that is spitting out of him and circling into a cyclone of energy around his racing form - a barrier of sorts that knocks back anyone who gets in his way.
With a spark of lightning, he turns the two opponents circling your hunched form to dust. He’s radiating with it - nearly shaking as he drops to his knees to gently turn you on your back so he can see how bad it is.
It’s bad.
There’s blood in your hair - sheeting down the front of your face. Your eyes are unfocused and he tugs you into his lap, his broad palm nearly dwarfing your cheek as he holds it.
He roars for Rocket - for anyone - because he isn’t sure what to do. He’s fought a thousand wars and he is seemingly struck dumb by the sight of you so horribly injured. You blink through the blood - your fingers quivering as you try and wipe it off.
“Thor-r?” you slur.
“Shh,” he soothes, he pushes your hair back - his thumb moving in slow circles along your jaw. “You’re alright. You’re fine.”
***
“She’s very badly concussed. Fractured skull. If we didn’t have that new Xandar equipment, I’m not sure how we would have fixed the break.” Thor grimaces as he stares down at you lying flat on the exam table. Rocket’s paws gently smooth the newly sealed flesh along your scalp, beneath your hair. “I thought you guys were immortal.”
Thor narrows his eyes, his tone cold. “She was bludgeoned in the head by a troll twice my size.”
Rocket puts his hands up defensively. “Fine - fine. I’ll give her some pain killers, but make sure she doesn’t mix anything with it.
He snorts in response and Rocket glares. “She can drink you under the table, Thor and she always does after battle. The pills by themselves will make her completely loopy as is.”
Thor crosses his arms over his chest and begrudgingly nods.
“And don’t let her sleep for a couple of hours,” Rocket continues. “Since the two of you seem to barely sleep as it is, that shouldn’t be a problem.”
Despite himself, Thor’s lips curl into a smug smile at Rocket’s implication. However it disappears completely when he glances down at you. You look small - your features almost sunken. His mind is anxious - his heart still pounding recklessly in his chest. He’s lost too many people already. Losing you would be unthinkable. He wouldn't survive it.
It had been Nebula who had helped him on the field. She’d taken one look at your head, yanked a small gun out of her pocket, and shot the wound up with a yellow, medicinal-smelling foam. 
“It’ll stop the bleeding,” she explained in that indifferent, hoarse voice. “Take her to the ship.”
It had stopped the bleeding, but it had also made you incredibly out of it - almost drunk. “Thor,” you crooned as you tried to climb up his chest, wrapping your arms around his neck and pressing your face into his throat. He’d carried you like that. His hands under your ass as you kept your legs tangled around his waist. Your mouth soft and wet on the skin beneath his jaw as if he was carrying an infant.
“You’re fine,” he murmured as he stroked the back of your head. 
“I can’t feel my face,” you replied, tugging on his earlobe.
It was probably a comical sight: Thor stomping through the circling, writhing mass of battle with you clutching at him like one of those gray, furry creatures he’d seen on Midgard. Foam and blood all over the both of them. 
“We look scary,” you remarked.
“We do.”
“Did we win?”
“I think so, little queen.”
“Am I dying?”
“Please don’t say that.”
“You can have my sword if I do.”
Thor growled your name in warning. His grip on you tightened. “You won’t die and even if you did, I’d come after you and bring you back.”
***
Rocket hadn’t been joking about the painkillers. You’re off your head. He hasn’t seen you like this since a Winter Solstice party decades ago.
He’s tried to keep you in bed, but you’re writhing around - wiggling against him as you ask him absurd questions about their past. 
“Do you love me?”
“Of course.”
“Did you love that barmaid you slept with after that battle on Vanaheim?”
“What? No! We weren’t even together then.”
“Yes, but I remember. I remember everything, Odinson. You were a total slut.”
“And you weren’t? I seem to recall that warrior with the wings you paraded in front of me.”
“Ugh - you scared him off.”
“I didn’t.”
“You did.”
“I might have glared a few times, but that was it...and why do you sound disappointed that he's gone hmm?"
“What about that princess with the pink hair?”
“She wasn’t you. No one was you.”
“Aw - that’s sweet.”
The conversation had then taken a swift left turn to revolve around sex acts.
“Would you have a threesome with Nebula?”
“She scares me, but alright.”
“Val?”
“She’s not here, but obviously seeing as we already have."
“What about Quill?”
“I don’t want him inside you.”
You laugh - your hand flying to your mouth as you gawk at him. “What about inside you?”
Thor rolls his eyes. “He couldn’t handle me.”
You giggle again and it’s very endearing - especially when you crawl up his body and nuzzle your face into his beard, his cheek. He cradles the nape of your neck, careful about touching the raw, healing flesh along your scalp. 
“You haven’t been sweet like this in a long time,” He lifts his brows as he stares down at you. He really can’t remember. You’ve been stressed out - spread thin. The loss of Asgard and Loki and even Thor for a while had done a number on you. It still seemed as if you didn’t quite believe that Thor had come back to himself - had found a relative sense of peace.
You lift your hand and trace your fingertip down the line of his nose before you tap him between the eyebrows. “I’m capable of it, Odinson. Just - just haven’t been fucked up in a while. Too much to do.”
He cradles you against his chest, his arm bound around your back as he drags you closer. He can feel the slow tread of your heart, your warm, inexorable breathing on his bicep. “We could stop for a while,” he suggests. “Go somewhere quiet. Stop fighting for a bit.”
You frown. “Fighting is what I know. It’s what I’m good at.”
“You’re good at quite a lot of things, my love.” He teases with a suggestive leer. You groan and slap him hard across the chest making him wince.
“Just think about it,” he murmurs before he drops his head to press a soft kiss to your forehead. “We could explore - travel - lie on one of those blue-sand beaches and fuck all day.”
You nod lazily and he squints down at you. Your lashes flutter, your eyes beginning to shut as your breathing deepens. He lightly shakes you. “You can’t fall asleep for another three hours. Rocket’s orders.”
“Torture.”
“Always so dramatic.”
“No,” you protest. “That’s Loki.”
He sighs. He’s dead, my love. He’s dead for real this time. He’s been dead for years. Sometimes he wishes you’d stop referring to him as if he’s still alive. Sometimes he wishes you would never stop bringing him up. 
Thor knows that his brother has left a hole between them. It had always been you and Thor and Loki. The tangled nest of the three of them. The secrets shared. The betrayals and the genuine emotion that had made Loki’s misdeeds all the more horrific and painful. Every act had only shoved you harder into Thor’s arms, strengthening their connection and leaving his brother out to dry. 
They became lovers and Loki crashed himself against it.
He strokes your skin and you curl your fingers into his soft linen tunic. “Take this off,” you demand, tugging it sharply. 
“I don’t think that activity would be smart,” he pointed out. “I can ask Rocket, but I’m almost certain that’ll he say -”
“No,” you huff - tugging it harder. “I want to just feel you.” 
His lips quirk at the firmness of your voice. Even injured, you’re demanding. His Little Queen. They’d never officially married and there was no kingdom left for him, but still - you were his haughty, regal woman.
“I suppose,” he grins - indulgent. 
He sits up, stretching his arms behind him to lift his shirt over his head. He tosses it to the floor and when he lies back down, you’re already clambering on top of him. You seal yourself to his front, resting your cheek at the center of his chest, your legs wedged between his thighs. Every one of his deep breaths causes your head to rise and fall and he draws his finger across the side of your face before he palms it - holding you to him like a child. You love this position. You always did it when you wanted comfort from him. They'd even done it before they'd ever made love, which spoke volumes for his self-control - having a gorgeous woman lie on him for hours and not do a thing.
Let me sleep on you, Odinson. Your chest is like a pillow and the ground is too hard.
Alright - come here then.
He’d embrace you like this when you’d been sick or sad or just tired though they hadn’t done it in ages. Thor feels a burst of guilt remembering the five years between the snap and ultimately defeating Thanos. Thor had been a mess. He’d offered nothing to you - lost in his own grief and terrified that he’d lose you, as well.  
Something burns behind his nose and he scratches it. His throat thickens. His tongue heavy. “Don’t,” you mumble against his bare skin - your breath tickling his nipple. He jerks, his hips shifting under your weight. He’s going to get hard. It’s inevitable with you glued to his body like this.
“Don’t what?” His voice is tight.
“Get maudlin. You’re going broody. That’s Loki’s thing.”
Loki is dead, my love. 
“You’re right,” he says instead. You raise yourself up a little so that you can meet his gaze. He inhales sharply, your eyes are so bright - too bright and Thor worries that you’ve gotten a fever. He runs the back of his hand across your cheek and it’s hot, but it could just be from lying together in this tiny room. He tries to relax his heart that has begun to flutter, tries to tamp down that stinging burst of anxiety inside him. You’re fine. You’re completely fine. You smile - dazed - and lower your head back down. 
“I’m gonna sleep here forever,” you drawl before curling inward to press a kiss to his abdomen - his ribs. 
“Three hours,” he reminds you, his fingers nestled gently in your hair. There’s still blood in the tangle of it and that herbal-smelling foam. He’ll put you in the shower tomorrow, maybe bribe Quill to stop at the next planet where he can give you a proper bath and fuck you into an actual mattress. He needs to offer retribution - make up for the years he’d left you in the dark - in the cold.  
Don’t get morose, Odinson. He hears this without you saying it. You read him too well. 
“Three hours, three hours,” you echo as you snuggle deeper into his chest. ”I get it.”

I appreciate it.

navigation | v.h masterlist
“oh vinnie” you moaned out, “please fill me up”
“who?” he grunted in response, speeding up his thrusts.
“d-daddy” you stuttered out, unable to form complete sentences due to the pleasure.
“what do you want?” you didn’t respond, overwhelmed from the stimulation. he gripped your jaw forcing you to make eye contact. “answer me.”
“i w-want your cum so b-bad”
“such a pretty little slut, always wanting my cum. you want me to fuck my babies deep inside you? huh angel?”
“y-yes please.” you replied, feeling your orgasm approaching quickly. vinnie noticed and kissed your neck, trailing them to your ear lobe before whispering, “cum for daddy”
you felt yourself come undone by his words, raking your nails down his back and moaning his name. the clenching of your tight cunt was enough to send him over the edge cumming deep inside you, coating your walls.
he collapsed on top of you, breathing heavy and matching your own. he met your eyes and kissed you passionately before slowly pulling out. he glanced down at the pretty mess, tracing his fingers around your folds making you squirm.
“keep this cum inside of you.” he states sternly, getting off of the bed and throwing you the black lacy panties he had previously ripped off. “and you better behave when we go down to hang out with everyone.”
the way he spoke to you made you want him more and more. as he started toward the bathroom he made one last look at you. “understand?” he asks.
“yes vin.” you respond.
“good girl. now get over here.” you quickly slid your thong and shuffling to the bathroom. you stood in front of vinnie watching his eyes wandering over your body and stopping at your clothed mess. he smirked making you look down. his seed had soaked your panties and began to drip down your leg.
“you look so good right now gorgeous, i wish i could fuck the shit out of you all day.” his hand reached over and tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. “but we have plans. get dressed.”
-
downstairs you began to socialize with everyone else, acting as if you didn’t just get fucked into the next universe. however, the feeling of vinnie’s cum dripping slightly out everytime you stood was making you impossibly horny again. you know you told vin you would be on your best behavior but you couldn’t help the feeling between your legs.
you walked over to him on the couch and sat next to him, he smiled gently and put his arm around you. you scooted closer to him before pressing a kiss to his cheek.
“are you having a good time?” he asked, you nodded and put your hand on his thigh, trying to send him a signal. he ignored it.
“can i sit in your lap baby?” you stuck your lip out, pouting, making it difficult for him to say no. once on his lap you guided his hands to your hips and very subtly adjusted yourself so his member was against your core.
“what are you doing y/n?” vinnie whispered, tone of voice dropping.
“i was just getting comfortable relax.” you smirked knowing that you would get him to fold any minute now. you once again started to slowly grind yourself on him feeling his pants tighten beneath you. his hands grip your hips tightly. closing his eyes.
“upstairs. now.” he growls in your ear, gently pushing you off of him. you wave bye to your friends before slowly walking up the stairs being sure to sway your hips just right as you felt vinnie’s eyes on your every movement.
vinnie apologized to everyone making up an excuse about you not feeling well. everyone looked at each other and shrugged as vinnie headed up the stairs behind you.
in the room he shuts the door and clicks the lock slowly walking to you on the bed.
“you couldn’t ever wait an hour you little slut.”
“i didn’t even do anything-“ he grabs your face, cutting you off.
“don’t even finish that sentence baby girl. i told you to behave.”
his words were harsh and you knew you were about to get punished. the excitement between your legs was growing rapidly but you weren’t going to let him know that.
“i’m sorry vinnie.” you apologized he shook his head.
“you’re going to regret being such a tease.” he smiled, “you just want me to fuck you like the little whore you are don’t you princess? not behaving so you can have this dick right?”
“yes daddy.” you responded. he knew you like the back of his hand.
“good baby, now turn around” you gulped knowing what you were about get, and hesitated to do so.
“i don’t think i asked you a question. turn. around.”
you obeyed him turning around, his hands quickly ripped off your skirt leaving you in the soaked black panties from your wetness and his cum from earlier. he gently rubbed your ass cheeks, the coolness of the metal from his rings making you flinch.
“how many should i give you for being bad baby?” he asks.
“10”
“no baby” he laughs “little sluts get more than 10 spankings for being bad. how about 20?”
he didn’t even give you a chance to respond before his hand roughly collided with your ass. the sudden action making you gasp.
“count.”
“o-one.” you obeyed. as the words flowed out another slap was placed. the sound echoed off the walls.
“two.” another. “three” another.
it seemed as if the spanking was never ending. the pain was unbearable but at the same time the pleasure was. you felt yourself getting wet with every single slap.
“t-twen-ty” you moaned out. he gently rubbed his hand over your now red and bruised ass.
“you were such a good girl for me.” he says, trailing his hand down to your panties, pushing them aside. “do you think you should be rewarded pretty?”
“please.” you whimper, he then inserts two fingers into you soaking core. you moan at the much needed touch.
“you’re dripping baby.” he grunts, “you love being punished don’t you?”
he thrusts his fingers fast, and rubs your clit with his thumb. the feeling in your stomach builds embarrassingly fast.
“vin i’m gonna-“ he then pulls out his fingers, delaying you from your orgasm. before you could complain he sticks his fingers in your mouth.
“you taste so good baby don’t you think?” you suck his fingers tasting yourself. you can tell that this arouses him even more.
“fuck get on your knees”
you obey him, scrambling to your knees. you watch in awe as he strips himself. god he looks so good. he pulls out his hard member, stroking himself a few times.
“you just gonna stare or you gonna let me fuck that pretty mouth of yours?” you open your mouth wide in response. vinnie quickly pushes his tip to your lips in which you wrap them around.
you suck and lick at the pre cum before your hair is gripped and pulled back, forcing you to make eye contact with vin.
“no teasing.” he pushes your head back toward his member on which you take him in your mouth. he lets out a low moan in response. he begins to slowly thrust his hips, making his cock hit the back of your throat. your eyes water as you gag, black tears fall down your cheeks from your eyeliner.
“you’re such a pretty mess.” he groans, “i love to fuck this pretty mouth.” his thrusts speed up, you moan at the feeling causing him to twitch into your mouth. you reach up to play with his balls, pushing him over the edge.
“oh fuck babe.” he moans, shooting his load down your throat. you suck a little before pulling off with a pop and swallowing all his seed. he then pulls you up to mash your lips together. the makeout is sloppy, intense and full of lust. you are gently pushed back on the bed, careful not to break your kiss. you feel his member becoming hard once again against your thigh.
“you want this cock pretty?” he asks reaching down to rub it against your clit. you moan in response.
“use your words baby. i’ll give you want you want.”
“fuck please.” you whimper.
“please what?”
“please fuck me daddy, i want your dick so badly. i need it.” accepting your begging, he slams himself into you making no time for you to adjust to his size.
your moans are loud and pornographic, making vinnie confident. he leans down and begins to suck on your nipple. the sensation enough to send you over the edge.
“daddy f-fuck.” you moan out, “i’m going to cum.”
pulling his lips away from your nipple, he speeds up his thrusts before responding, “no.”
“please i can’t hold it anymore.” you beg, your orgasm approaching very quickly.
“you can and you will.” he grunts, “unless you want to be punished some more.”
his thrusts are fast but becoming sloppy letting you know that he’s close, you clench yourself around him receiving a low groan from him.
“do that shit again.”
you clench around his cock once more, the pit in your stomach going to release itself any minute now. he notices and leans down, whispering in your ear. “cum with daddy baby, i want you to cum all over my cock.”
his words instantly lead you to your release, you moan out his name and tug at his perfect locks as you cum. vinnie fucks you through your orgasm before twitching inside you.
“fuck angel-“ he cuts himself off with a loud moan, shooting his second load of the day into you. he thrusts it deeper into you before slowly pulling out. he watches as his seed spills out of you and leans down to press a kiss to your clit. you gently push his head away, sensitive from your previous orgasm. he smirks before holding your hips down.
“think you can cum for me one more time princess?” he asks, kissing on and around your heat.
“n-no.” you stutter out.
“that’s too bad.” his mouth is immediately connected with your pussy, tongue lapping at your clit. you scream in pleasure as you pull at his hair.
he inserts his finger in you, still sucking your bud and curls them perfectly hitting your sweet spot. your orgasm approaches very fast, feeling yourself already coming undone on him.
“i’m cumming daddy.” you shout, squishing his face between your thighs. he pulls away from you, looking at your sweaty exhausted body laying on the bed.
he walks toward to bathroom and comes back with a cloth. he cleans up the mess softly before laying down next to you. he rolls your body on top of his, your face connected to his sweaty chest. you trace your finger along his tattoos as vinnie strokes your hair. he pressed a small kiss to your forehead.
“i love you y/n”
“i love you vin.”
a/n: i hope this is something that you wanted! this is one of my longer smuts i made soo idk how good it is

Keeping My Sanity
Tumblr media
Hey everyone!! Here’s the lovely anon’s request for a Strange x sibling!reader!! The Bucky Barnes request should be out within the next couple of weeks at the latest, I’ve been trying to update it when I can. Hope you enjoy!!
(Warnings: slight angst, sibling banter, minor cursing)
Word count: 2,220
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Can you PLEASE, for the love of all things that will help me keep what little sanity I have left, go find something else to do?”
Being a younger sibling had its perks. But, when you were younger by a solid 17 minutes, being younger than your twin brother, who just so happened to be the Sorcerer Supreme himself, Stephen Strange, was no longer as advantageous.
Ever since you were young children, both of you loved being twins with the other, despite how much the other got on your nerves, because you both knew it would be the two of you against the world one day. But nobody knew it would become literal. While Stephen chose to be a neurosurgeon, you went in the completely opposite route once you left high school, choosing to use your love of science and engineering, leading to you working for the Avengers and becoming Bruce and Tony’s main assistant. But, once the Avengers fell through, you reconnected with Stephen and he offered for you to live with him.
“But I want to learn magic. I can already build a working robot from scratch, how cool would it be if I could magic it around too?” You replied, hoping he would give in.
“Y/N, magic is a fine art, you can’t just expect for me to teach you something without spending a major amount of time being able to perfect it. And if you don’t perfect what you learn, there is the everlasting possibility of-”
“Oh I know, the whole ‘the universe will collapse in on itself, blah blah blah, interdimensional beings, blah blah’ spiel. Look, I get it, this is important. But remember hearing about the attack on the tower? Back before you had all of your magician abilities and you were still pulling bullets out of brains?”
When you walked into the lab after arriving at the tower, something seemed off. Even though Tony was still annoying Bruce while he was trying to finish his coffee just like always, something seemed different, and you couldn’t pick up on it.
“There’s our favorite assistant! You seem off Y/N, everything okay?” Tony asked, noting the somewhat blank expression on your face.
“Yeah, I’m fine. What are we working on today, a new suit, some sort of new compound for a new suit? Or am I just getting ahead of you?”
“Well, we were looking at some of the previous mission reports, and-”
Bruce was immediately cut off, the emergency alarm blaring through the lab.
“Tower’s under attack, the med team already got to the exit and they’re out. Team, suit up,” Tony said with a slight hint of panic, sending the message through coms.
“What about me, what should I do?” You asked, your anxiety levels beginning to rise, not helping yourself any. “Am I going to have to fight, Tony please don’t make me fight these guys, I’m so unpre-”
“Y/N, look at me. I need you to breathe, alright? We aren’t making you fight these guys. There’s a safe room that’s attached to every single bedroom through the vents. So you’re going to have to either sneak up there, or crawl through the vents. Take the glasses we finished the other day, JARVIS will project a map for you as long as you’re wearing them. Just keep yourself safe Y/N.” Wrapping you in a quick hug, Tony’s suit began to attach to his body, causing you to jump back in shock as the flight instinct took over your senses. All you knew was to get to safety at this point, not knowing how bad the threat was or how close they were to the lab.
“JARVIS, put the lab in lockdown mode,” You whispered, sneaking through the hallway, trying to see if you could pinpoint where the invasion was occurring just through your fear-induced heightened senses.
“Lab has been secured in lockdown mode. May I help you with anything else Miss L/N?”
“Tell me where I need to go to be safe, please. A-and just call me Y/N, it’s more comforting right now.”
“At the end of this hallway, get into the vent found on your left. The hallways are filled with intruders.”
“B-but I can’t climb around in the vents, much less crawl into one to begin with.”
“I will enable the vents to accommodate you.”
‘Man, Tony thought of everything,” You thought as the vent opened, heavy footsteps beginning to reach your ears. “Shit shit shit, this is crazy.”
Making your way through the vents after hearing the footsteps pass, you encountered a few close calls, but eventually dropped into the safe room. Knowing to simply stay quiet and tucked away, you found a small space to crouch in, making yourself practically invisible if someone were to walk in.
After what seemed like hours, you eventually heard many different types of footsteps approaching your safe space, causing you to impossibly burrow deeper into the small crevice, your breathing and heartbeat silently increasing to the outside world, but sounding like the world crashing down to your ears.
With the opening of the door, it seemed like everything momentarily froze. ‘This is it, this is how I go.’
Hearing a single pair of footsteps, slowly making their way in, the noise growing louder and louder, you tucked your head between your knees, not wanting to see the impending doom awaiting you.
As someone put their hand on your shoulder, you immediately flung out of your little space, trying to get whoever touched you as far away as possible.
“Kiddo, just breathe, it’s just me.”
“T-tony, I was s-so scared,” You sobbed, your tears soaking into his top as he tightly wrapped you in his arms, having taken off the suit moments before he came in.
“I know you were, and I’m so sorry for you having to experience that much panic. Why don’t we call your brother, okay? We’ll get him over here to be with you.”
“Oh, you were so mad at Tony, and that was, in my opinion, the shittiest way of meeting my boss,” You mentioned with a small laugh, slightly shuddering at the thought.
“Well, I’m still not teaching you because I’m always going to be here for you now, it’s as simple as that,” He replied, a slight smirk appearing that you failed to see, since he was invested in a book. He knew he could easily anger you to the point that you would let him be, he could do it ever since you were children.
“But Stepheeeeeen, it could be important one day,” You begged, grabbing the book from his hands.
“Give me that, you brat!”
“Let’s see, how to make your brother teach you magic spells, where could they be?” You sarcastically questioned, dodging his moves to try and retrieve his book away from you. “Oh look, here it is, ingredients call for 1 new brother, let’s see how I can make that happe-”
“Knock it off, you’re being foolish,” Stephen responded, finally grabbing the book out of your hands. “Now, if you would’ve paid any attention to the actual book, you would know that you don’t use ingredients for this type of magic.”
“Then what foreign language do I have to learn to understand this nonsense?”
“None, because, for the last time, I’m not teaching you magic.”
“Ugh, fine! But if I have to fight off evil space demons from Neptune and I’m unprepared, it’s your fault.”
“The demons would go for you first, I’d make sure of it,” He responded, an equal amount of sarcasm practically dripping from both of your mouths as he watched you overdramatically storm down the hallway. Stephen knew you wanted to learn, and he wanted you to be safe, but he also wanted to be your protector, the one to be there for you when you needed to be safe. His mind was in a loop, constantly arguing on whether or not it would truly be a good idea to teach you. But for now, he was going to try his best to hold out and see if you would let it go.
~~~~~~~~~~
As the days passed by, Stephen immediately could tell that there was not a single chance that you were going to let this go. He couldn’t get through a single two-hour period, or even one hour increments of time, without you bringing up him teaching you magic, whether it was subtly said or blatantly, in-his-face obvious.
“Good lord Y/N, what are you going to do next, wait until the world needs saving and then ask once more if I can teach you magic while I’m in the middle of trying to defend the world?”
“If that’s what I have to do for you to actually do it, then I might as well,” You answered innocently, knowing that you were going to hold strong on your side of the sibling debate. He knew you were relentless, but in retrospect, he was the exact same way, and even though he would never say it, he was proud of how stubborn you were, knowing that you likely got it from him in the first place.
“How much longer are you going to keep this up?” He asked with an exasperated sigh, tired of hearing your complaints.
“Until you give in and finally teach me.”
“What if I had a way to make you stop asking, then would you?”
“What would this entail?” You slowly questioned, a look of curiosity plastered on your face while a plan formed in Stephen’s head.
“Remember when you wouldn’t leave me alone when we were children, and even teenagers? And do you remember what I would do to make you leave me alone?”
“I have no recollection of any of this, I was the perfect one growing up,” You answered, a slight blush appearing on your cheeks, the memories flooding your brain from when you were little.
“Stehehephehehen nohohoho,” You laughed, trying to keep a firm hold on the novel you just took out of your brother’s hands, which he was currently in the middle of reading.
“You little brat, why did you take my book?” He asked, digging his slender fingers into your ribs.
“Becahahause I thought ihihit would behehe funNY HEHEHEY NOHOHOHO”
“Just because we’re fifteen, that doesn’t give you the right to try to play pranks on me. Remember, I’m older than you, so I will get back at you.”
“By seheventehen minutes, ihit isn’t that much,” You mentioned as his hands fluttered around your stomach, the giggles continuing to flow through your lips.
“You’re right, but it does allow me to do this.” As he leaned his head towards the center of your stomach, your thrashing became more violent, ending with you wiggling around in a squealing fit as he blew raspberry after raspberry on your stomach.
“STEHEHEHEPHEHEN NAHAHAHAAH”
The most ticklish sensation you ever felt, however, was once he stopped blowing raspberries and began nibbling on your stomach instead.
“STAHAHAHAP IHIHIHIHIT”
“Fine, but you better not take my books anymore.” Helping you off the ground, you gave him a look as you walked away, knowing what would occur if you acted up around him.
“Stephen, don’t you dare,” You slowly said, walking backwards until you bumped into the back of the sofa.
“Don’t what, dear Y/N? I wouldn’t do anything to harm you.” Slowly approaching you, the butterflies in your stomach kept getting faster, knowing what was about to happen.
“You know what.”
“No I truly don’t, but feel free to enlighten me on the subject. What am I not supposed to do now?”
“Tickle me, duh. Wait, I didn-”
“Your wish is my command,” He sarcastically responded, tackling you onto the couch and immediately digging into your sides, just like he would during your teenage years.
“Stehehephen nohoho”
“You asked for it, kiddo.” Moving to your ribs, your laughter became more high pitched, turning into giggles as he reached your underarms. “Ah, I remember what will make you give in, do you?”
“Yehehehes, leheave mehe alohone”
“Hm, I don’t think I can.” And with that, he began to blow raspberries along your stomach, adding nibbles here and there to increase the laughter, especially with his stubble rubbing along your soft skin.
“NAHAHAHAHA OKAHAHAHAY I YIEHEHELD”
“Hey, breathe there, don’t die on me,” Stephen mentioned with a chuckle, highly amused by your disheveled state.
“Sorry for being annoying,” You responded, soft giggles making their way into your words.
“Look at me, Y/N. It’s not that I don’t trust you, because I do. It’s just that this can get really complicated really fast, and it’s even easier to misuse the mystic arts. And it isn’t that I think you would misuse them, it’s just really easy for people to manipulate those who are still learning and make them evil, and I would never want that to happen to you.”
“I know that Stephen, but I promise you that I’ll take the time to learn, I’ll keep my rambunctious tendencies, as you prefer to call them, under control.”
“What if I think about it? Maybe consider the options.”
“Thank you Stephen,” You responded as you wrapped him in a hug. “Maybe one day I’ll be as good as you.”
“Don’t push it.”

only one bed - nikolai lantsov.
pairing: nikolai lantsov x reader
genre/warning: just fluff!
words: 1.4k
summary: the age old "there’s only one bed and we sleep as far away as possible from each other but wake up cuddling" trope.
Today had been a rare calm day out on a deserted beach you’d found somewhere along the coast of Ravka, the sun had shined all day without cloud in sight, and the lack of wind combined with the hot weather had made it impossible to stay out of the water for long. Even though the day had been one of the most relaxed one the crew had had the fortune of enjoying in a while, a whole day in the ocean would take its toll on anyone, hence why you were now basically dragging your feet back to the Volkvolny to turn in for the night. You had your shoes in your hands, feeling the now cold sand make contact with your bare feet, your hair salty and your eyes red from the water. Tolya and Tamar were walking in front of you, both absolutely exhausted, causing them to stumble and trip over everything. Genya and David were walking behind you, both whispering to each other and giggling under their breath, and Nikolai was walking right beside you. You were both walking while sharing a peaceful moment of comfortable silence after a day full of annoying each other, though it seemed keeping quiet was a hard thing for Nikolai to do, since he tried to spark a conversation every five steps you took.
You had left everything on the ship in order before you left this morning, already imagining how tiring it would be to tidy everything up when you could barely keep your eyes open. However, it seemed like the universe had other plans, because as soon as you all arrived in one piece to the stowaway boat you had docked on the shore and after various failed attempts to climb up and onto the ship, Tolya collapsed on the couch. You tried nudging him and waking him up, but it was a lost cost given the fact that he had instantly passed out, and none of you were strong enough to move his dead weight.
“Don’t look so sad, darling.” Nikolai said when he saw you standing on your door looking like a kicked puppy. “Now you have an excuse to come into my room and sleep next to me.” he winked, which caused you to roll your eyes. He wasn’t wrong: while you would obviously take the couch, his room was probably the best one out of everyone��s, and you really didn’t have enough energy to argue with him right now. Instead, you just settled for a glare that you hoped conveyed everything you would say to him in that moment if you weren’t so exhausted. Judging by the way his smirk only grew in response to your look, you think it probably did.
“Thanks.” You huffed as he opened the door to his office slash room.
As soon as you stepped into his room and heard him shut the door behind you, you wanted to start crying out of frustration. Or exhaustion - probably both, you weren’t sure. Bottom line is that you wanted to start crying. Nikolai’s couch was a mess. There were pages filled with what looked like ship designs everywhere, the bed sheet on top of it looked like it hadn’t been washed in a month, there was a leftover plate of food on the floor and, was that a sword sticking out of the cushions? Nikolai chuckled from his side of the room.
“Guess you don’t want to be sleeping in there.” He said, sending you a smirk over his shirtless shoulder as he changed into his sleeping clothes.
“It beats the floor.” You shrugged, and it was true. The floor hadn’t been cleaned in ages and you were scared you were gonna fall through it and end up in the middle of the ocean. An irrational thought, of course, but one that your mind considered very possible anyway.
“I mean, we can always share the bed.” Nikolai proposed, and you shook your head, you thought you were already being too much of a bother, and you didn’t think your body could handle a whole night of sleeping next to him. “Oh, come on. It’s not that big of a deal, darling.” he smirked, walking closer to you until he was crouching down to look into your eyes that were trying to focus on anything but his hazel ones..
“Fine.” You sighed in response, and you don’t know how, but his smirk got even bigger than it had been seconds before. After telling him you’d slap his stupid smirk off his face if he didn’t stop, (which got a laugh out of him) you got changed and climbed into bed.
You both made a point of sleeping as far away from each other as possible, even though Nikolai had suggested that he could - in his own words - ‘keep you warmer than the covers ever could’, to the point where you were almost falling off the bed. You didn’t care though, you were exhausted and just wanted to sleep, so that’s exactly what you did.
When you woke up the next morning, the first thing you noticed was how heavy your chest felt. You got worried for a moment, your brain starting to think that somehow you had fallen through the floor and you were drowning, before you glanced down and saw Nikolai’s head resting right under your chin and on top of your chest, both of his arms safely wrapped around your body as his soft breaths made contact with your skin, causing goosebumps to erupt in your body and your heartbeat to speed up. You ignored the butterflies having him lay against you caused you, and instead admired the sight in front of you.
You stared at his face and admired every single feature in it; his long eyelashes resting on his cheeks, his soft lips slightly parted but looking as beautiful as ever, and his sharp nose upon which you were delicately tracing your index finger up and down. His nose subconsciously scrunched up at the contact and you let out a soft laugh at how cute he looked, moving your right hand from his nose and placing it on his hair instead, you started to twirl his curls in your fingers. You kept your other hand on his face and caressed his cheek, feeling your heart melting at the sight of the beautiful prince.
Soon enough, however, you noticed how your body started to go numb from being under him and having his body pressed up against you for such a long time. As much as you hated to disrupt the peaceful state he was in and your own private selfish view of his face, you shook him awake. He let out a groan and nuzzled closer to you, if that was even possible, and you felt your heart do flips inside you.
“Sorry for the bother, your highness, but my whole body is going numb. You aren’t exactly a feather.” You teased in a sarcastic tone, using his title to further taunt him.
In one swift motion, Nikolai turned you both around, still keeping his arms wrapped around you but this time you were the one whose head was placed on his chest. Your heart was already beating at an inhuman pace when he started to trace patterns across your arm with his thumb and you felt your body tense up once you started thinking about how he was conscious now and definitely aware of what he was doing. Nikolai must have felt this because he spoke with a sigh afterwards.
“I always imagined our first morning waking up together would involve less clothing, but this is still pretty good.” He said and you slapped his chest, feeling your cheeks burning up. “Just relax, darling. I can't sleep when your thoughts are so loud.” He concluded, moving to place a kiss on the crown of your head before laying back down.
You smiled softly and nuzzled closer to him, inhaling his scent resting your head above his shirt. You returned his kiss by placing one of your own against his chest where his shirt opened and left an open spot, relaxing against him once again once you felt his quiet laugh come from above you in the form of a huff of air.
Feeling his thumb still drawing patterns in your arms, you decided a few more hours of sleep wouldn’t hurt, and he would still be there when you woke up.

@stars-for-thought @imprisioned-in-the-hole @linked-heroes @ice-cream-writes-stuff
This...wrecked me.
BUT it was a long time coming! Had to cut half of it out cause it grew too long (nearly 6k is still long right?). But I did it! I honestly hope I did it justice!
If not for @yandere-linked-universe, I would have lost all motivation a week ago!
But I was successful!
Still though...heroes and their need to argue...
It wasn't something they've done in a long while.
Gathering around one another.
Not willingly at the least.
Eight of them sitting a fair distance away from the houses, the camp fire being the only source of light for them at this time of night.
Hyrule the last one to arrive, having checked up on (y/n) before arriving at the designated place, so the eight simply sat around the camp fire in silence, stewing in their own thoughts.
When he arrives, informing them of y/n's stable condition, it was then Legend claps his hands and brings their attention to him.
'I think I speak for all of us when I say we need to air out some things.' He would give them all a stern look. 'And let me be clear on the fact that we can't hide anything right now.'
None of them look at each other.
Hyrule nervously agrees but expresses concern over being heard by the nearby houses, more worried at disturbing (y/n) than he was about disturbing the neighbors.
Wind assures him that they wouldn't be heard.
'Mesa doesn't sleep at night cause of the monsters that used to pop up, plus he hates being alone nowadays so he stays with Miss Sue-Belle and her grandpa at night.' Wind explained with a shrug.
'Even if he was there, he's a really heavy sleeper, we could scream at the very top of our lungs all we want and no one would hear us from over here. I've tested it.'
'How convenient.' Wars remarked with a snort but wouldn't make a comment after getting a look from Time.
Before things could become awkward, Legend does not hesitate to be blunt about it.
'We need to stop.' He would say, resting his elbows on his knees.
'Stop what?' Wild mutters.
'All of 'this'.' He's wave his hand towards the group, a scowl on his face.
Wars rolls his eyes.
'Legend, my dear hoarder, you need to be more specif-'
' When was the last time we talked to one another without taking note of eachothers weaknesses?'
Warriors closed his mouth, the group looked at each other, none speaking up with an answer.
'When was the last time we actually shared a space without tension? Covered each other in battle because we were worried instead out of obligation, or just leaving each other to fend for themselves? Or shared our potions willingly?' A sharp smile on his face. 'Or better yet, when was the last time we trusted one another?'
...
No one had anything to say to that.
Legend shook his head, a scowl appearing. 'I'm not dumb, I can see what's in front of me. Whatever trust we forged during our journey is at risk of fading to almost nothing. It's a fucking miracle y/n hasn't noticed us going for each other's throat.
'Okay, that's a bit harsh.' Sky interjected nervously, 'I agree that it's possible things have been...rather tense lately, but I wouldn't say it's that bad.'
Legend leveled a look at him.
'Four, Wild, and Twilight have all scared off at least 12 different people for looking at her recently.'
'It was necessary!' Four exclaimed in defense, Twilight placing a hand on his shoulder keep him from jumping up from his seat, Wild staying in his seat, though his hands tightened into fists. ' We saw the intentions in their eyes! The way they stared at her! They were looking at her like she was food!'
Legend turned the leveled look at the blacksmith.
'All 12? All of them? In the same town? In the same day? He asked with a scoffed, 'Same hour? Half of them women? Oh yes, very dangerous. And it's rather convenient when the Cook joins in and helps you scare them away.'
Four had a sneer on his face but the silent rancher's hand on his shoulder kept him from doing anything else.
Legend watched them for another moment before turning back to Sky.
'Warriors and Hyrule have been awfully careful with keeping any of us from encroaching upon her personal space, either by being the ones to guard her while she's bathing or when she's hurt.'
'What, so that makes us suspicious?' The captain crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at him, Hyrule nervously ducking his head. 'She deserves some space away from you clingy lot! We're just making sure she has it!'
'Funny how you say that when you've been taken advantage of your position to have some alone time with her.' Legend doesn't even look away from the skyloftian as he answers back. 'You know, you're quite charming when you think no one is paying attention. And don't think I haven't noticed how our resident healer has been hoarding potions for some time.'
Warriors and Hyrule tensed at being found out, keeping their eyes from settling on anyone else's as they were looked at.
'The old man has been very careful in sending one of us ahead when there's danger. That honestly took me a bit to figure out, since he rotates who goes. Yet he never seems to volunteer himself.' The vet looked over at Time, who's featured remained impassive.
'Wild has been more aggressive with strangers than Four, which is saying something considering how violent the blacksmith has been. The sailor has been growling at every kid that's been as close as 5 feet of her and clings to her when he thinks we're too busy, and don't think I haven't noticed the way you've been nudging the tension between everyone while going through her things Sky.'
He raised an eyebrow as he looked back at the pale faced skyloftian.
'And you're telling me it's not that bad?'
There wasn't anything the group could say to those (accurate) accusations, Four looked to be visibly restraining himself from hitting him.
...
'...Maybe it's because you all force your presence on her...'
'...What was that?' Four growled out, solid blue eyes snapping up to glare at the speaker.
Wind lifted his head, glaring back at the blacksmith.
'You heard me Blacksmith, or is your attention span as short as your height?' He sneered. 'You all force your presence on her when she wants to be left alone! At least she feels comfortable with me!'
Four sneered back at Wind. 'The way you hog her attention is the very comforting.'
'Hey, I at least GIVE her space! I saw how you yelled at that shopkeeper when he asked if she needed anything-'
'I had to! Didn't you see the way that disgusting bastard-'
...
Legend watched as the group slowly dissolved into chaos. Each hero soon shouting at one another.
This is what he had been worried about for so long, and here was proof that the trust they had between one another is dangerously close to collapsing.
He watched as Twilight was talking coldly to Time, who didn't even have the decency to look ashamed of his choices.
Four and Wind were at each other's throats and Warriors was basically growling at Wild, who was screaming about how he always knew Warriors was keeping y/n away from everyone else.
Sky and Hyrule, who were shouting at each other over what they've been doing.
He needed to get them back on track, so with a deep breath, he whistled as loudly as he could.
He began speaking the moment they all looked at him.
'Well ain't this a beautiful example of shit I've ever seen!'
'Enough Veteran!' Time ordered, speaking up for what seemed the first time since this conversation began.
'You've been doing a good job keeping quiet old man, better get back to being a good boy and let the big people talk.' Legend didn't need to look at Time to know his expression was thunderous.
'All of you acting like little BRATS, ready to play 'it's not my fault, it's YOURS.' A humorless laugh escaping him.
'News flash bastards, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULTS.' His grin was more bearing teeth than a grin.
'None of you are innocent.'
He expected Wild to shout at him, maybe Wind or Sky. Hell, the good captain looked ready to tackle him.
Yet it was Four who jumped to his feet, growling at the Veteran.
The smaller boy slipped away from the hands restraining him, rushing forward and grabbed the taller boy's collar, slamming their foreheads together and hissing, 'Just who the hell do you think you are?!?'
'That's a funny question.' He remarked mockingly, making sure not to show that the head bashing hurt. 'Considering how you seem to think you're in the right.'
Four wasn't pleased by his comment. 'I'll take out anyone that lays a malicious hand on her. How dare you even insinuate that I would let such a thing happen!'
'For someone who sounds so sincere, you have a funny way of showing it.' Legend retorted with gritted teeth, never taking his eyes off the shorter man's.
'Acting like you care but when it matters, you're as blind as the rest of us. That's why she got hurt.'
The others surged forward,
'How dare you-"
'That's not true-'
'Damnit Vet, you can't just-'
'SHE NEARLY DIED DAMNIT!!' He shoved Four back, basically throwing him to the floor, having enough of everyone's nonsense.
Everyone stills at his words.
'SHE'S STILL UNRESPONSIVE!! SHE'S ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF OUR FUCKING RIVALRY!!!' He blazed with impotent rage.
'She's laying in that house, because she got LUCKY. Do you hear me?' He emphasized his point by gesturing in the direction of Wind's house.
'Because had we not gotten our shit together? Had we argued just a moment more? We would have been standing before her GRAVE.'
His face was dark with fury.
'And you have the fucking nerve to tell me I'm in the wrong?' He hissed through clenched teeth.
...
...It is quiet.
The veteran stared right into the blacksmith's eyes, vaguely noticing how it shifted colors rapidly. The way his face twitched, as if physically restraining himself from saying something he would regret.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the others frozen in different positions of action.
Some halfway out of their seats, others reaching for the two of them as if to pull them away from each other.
He focused back on Four, noticing his jaw was tightly clenched.
'WE. NEED. HER. ' he said in a firm voice.
This seemed to make him flinch, but Legend wasn't finished. He took a deep breath and lowered his voice a few notches though he was still partly yelling.
'Not the other way around. SHE doesn't need us.' he slowly shook his head as he looked at every one of them.
'She NEVER needed us.'
Four looked away at that.
'We need her more than we need air in our lungs. Need her more strongly than water or food. ' He focused back on Four and pointed at him.
'And you...you think I'm going to let you, let any of you, let MYSELF, lose her because we couldn't control ourselves?' His chuckle was icy, his smile was unpleasant and full of teeth.
'Oh you don't know me as well as I thought. '
'Because allow me to be as clear as possible when I say, I would slaughter anyone that laid a filthy hand on her' Legend leaned forward, smiling coldly. 'Push me enough, and you'll be on the list.'
'Isn't that extreme..?!' Hyrule exclaimed worriedly, looking at Legend with an uncertain expression.
'Oh...so you wouldn't hurt them if they laid a hand on her? You would actually hesitate to tear off limbs if they forced her to go with them. If they dared to speak her like some cheap whore-'
'How could you even say that-!!!'
'That is uncalled for!'
Legend spread his arms out. 'Well you all might as well be saying you would!!'
'Hold your tongue or I'll cut it!' Wild suddenly snarled, Twilight, visibly tense from Legend' words, was forced to put both hands on Wild.
'I bet you would just stand there while they tried, hm? Stand there while she cries for your help?' He kept pushing, because he needed to. 'Just stand there, watching her shed her tears? Stand there and let. them. touch her? Is that what you would do? Answer me.'
'Don't you DARE say such a thing.' Wild growled, his lips drew back in a snarl.
'You all seem so eager in proving me right, I see nothing wrong with saying this if this is how you really feel.' He masked a scowl with a smirk even as the others began to raise their voices again.
'WHAT THE HELL!'
'You miserable pile of-!!'
'JUST TELL ME YOU'RE READY TO ABANDON HER SO I CAN KEEP HER AWAY FROM YOU ALL!!'
'HOW DARE YOU!!' Warriors roared, suddenly on his feet and in Legend's face.
'You think you can accuse us like this, act like you have the high ground, and expect us to sit here and take it?!' Legend didn't even hesitate shoving him away.
'I can accuse you all I want! Whatever friendship we may still have be damned, BECAUSE YOU'RE AS GUILTY AS I AM!!!' Legend shouted, even as the captain grabbed the front of his tunic and pulled him up to his face again.
'WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE.'
'I'M ONE WHO'S ACTUALLY TRYING TO FIX THIS MESS!! UNLIKE YOU WHO'S READY TO LET HER END UP AS A CORPSE BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T NOTICE YOU THE WAY YOU WANT HER TO!!'
'You miserable, disrespectful, arrogant-
'STOP ACTING LIKE YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE FUCKING PROBLEM YOU STUPID SOLDIER!!'
'SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!'
'NO! WAKE UP FROM YOUR FUCKING FANTASIES!'
'What gives you the FUCKING RIGHT-'
'BECAUSE I LOVE HER YOU BASTARD!!'
The admittance silenced them swiftly.
But he didn't care at the moment.
He was breathing deeply after saying those words. Face flushed with anger. Fists clenched so tightly, they were bone white.
'I. Love. her.' He hissed to a frozen Warriors.
'I. Need. her.' He grabbed the wrist attached to the had gripping his tunic.
'I. Can't. Lose. Her.' He bared his teeth, slowly shaking his head.
'I won't hesitate.' He voice was a whisper at this point. But it didn't matter. The crackling fire was the only other sound at moment.
'I won't hesitate to kill anyone that takes her away from me.'
...
And that's what he needed them to understand. Needed them to understand that as much as he cared for this group, as much as he's willing to put the effort to fix things...
If they didn't work together?
There would be corpses.
And he wouldn't be one of them.
He wanted to keep screaming at them. Wanted they to hang their heads in shame as he pointed out every flawed thing they've done as of late.
But he..sighed.
'I want..so much.. ' He began, looking straight into Warriors' eyes, a numb sense of calm filling him. 'I want so many impossible things.'
'I want to fall asleep to her peaceful face, and wake up to the sight of her kind smile. I want her to lean against me as she draws, to watch her eyes light up when I show her something new. To see her laugh, hear her hum a tune, to know I'm the reason she glows with happiness.'
He could feel the pale faced captain tremble beneath his grip.
'I want the exact same thing you bastards want...' he took a deep breath, to settle his heart.
'I just want her by my side every single day.'
His voice almost quiet.
'I don't want to lose her.'
Silent stillness enveloped them after Legend had finished speaking, only the sound of the crinkling fire all that was audible at the moment.
Warriors stared at him, swallowing. visibly shaken by the veteran's honesty.
After a beat, Legend slowly pulls the captain's hand off of him.
He was met with no resistance.
He looks at them all. Tired, drained, a headache slowly making itself known.
'So...' he raised an eyebrow, tone dull, 'How about the cook whip us up something.'
Wild blinked, startled by being acknowledged.
'Wha-'
'And while he's at it, our resident healer can check up on our mutual darling.'
Hyrule jolted at the sudden acknowledgment.
'We have a lot to talk about and we can't do it on empty stomachs and worry in our minds.' He grinned sardonically, slowly clapping his hands twice.
'Chop chop people. The night is still young.'
--
--
It took a while for them to speak up after that, because what could one say after such an outburst?
It soothed their hearts when Hyrule returned, saying she was healing nicely. That information helped them calm down while using the time Wild spent cooking to gather their thoughts.
It was difficult to come up with something after the explosive event of earlier.
They were silent when their food was served.
Silent as they ate.
But slowly, very slowly, they did.
Legend pulling the words out of them.
Each grievance, thought and feeling.
It was a snail's pace, but as the Veteran calmly pushed them into speaking, the atmosphere surround the group slowly calmed, the words flowing just a bit easier than before.
'I just don't want her to leave.' Hyrule admitted quietly, looking down at his hands, almost ashamed to admit such a thing.
Warriors sighed. 'I think I speak for all of us when I say the feeling is mutual.'
Murmurs of agreement met his words.
' I don't disagree. It's obvious why, she's...just so kind.' Sky shyly put out, a small blush on his face.
'I mean, when was the last time she even demanded something from any of us?'
Warriors couldn't help but snort. 'I think you mean to say 'when has she ever demanded anything from us?'
'I believe I can answer that.' Time said, speaking up after staying silent for most of the evening.
Four raised an eyebrow. 'Oh, and when was this?'
'When she and I got separated, I injured my leg fighting the Lynel? Back in Legend's era I believe it was.'
'I remember that!' Wind piped in, snapping his fingers and pointing at Time. 'In the lost woods! She was tugging your ear when I reached you guys!'
Time nodded with a chuckle, resting his chin on his hand.
'Got quite the lecture too. She can be...quite stern when pushed enough.'
' That was the first time she saw one of us fight a Lynel wasn't it...' Twilight realized, blinking in comprehension. 'I can't believe I forgot that. She must have been terrified witnessing such a thing.
'Ah, but that was the thing. She was calm when she saw me kill it.'
'So she has thicker skin than an average civilian.' Legend sighed. 'Impressive but not that surprising.'
'Don't get me wrong Vet, she was quite unnerved when she saw the battle but once it was over and she saw my injury, I was the main focus.' He looked down, almost unaware that he was touching the place where the injury once was.
'She could have gone to get one of you guys, I knew she heard you calling out to us, we both did, but she stayed.' He smirked then, 'Pulled out a couple of red potions from her bag too.'
He had the group looking at him in surprise.
'Wait, potions?'
'Who gave her a potion?'
'Wars, was it you?'
'I would remember that!'
'Well well, isn't she well prepared.'
'Looks like she's paying attention to the Vet's paranoia!'
'Ha ha, such flattery.'
'Did she buy a few in town before we swapped eras?'
'Actually she has a stash of them in the event of one of us becoming injured and she's the only one around.' Time interjected, one of his amused grins on his face.
That brought another round of questions.
'She knows how to make potions?!'
'No Wind, we would have seen her.'
'It's not something that could be hidden either.'
'And where did she get the money to buy enough potions?'
'When'd she have the time to even get potions??'
'My question is, how did we not see her get the potions?'
' Did she tell you?' Time snorted softly as the last question was directed at him.
'Matter of fact, yes. Clever answer too, know all those 'silly bets' she got us to agree to?'
He waited for them to nod. ' Well, she's been stashing every rupee she's won from us specifically to buy 'emergency potions'. He answered with a breathy chuckle. 'As for when? She's been buying them from Beedle when we were at stables. And since we also give her money to buy herself stuff...'
'None of us would be the wiser.' Legend finished for him.
'You're serious aren't you...' Warriors couldn't help but say.
'Absolutely.' Time nodded, not able to suppress a grin when he realised the captain's tone was admiring.
'She looked so embarrassed, thought I would be upset with her for ' sneaking behind our backs'. Tried to justify it by saying it 'felt stupid to be the only one in the group who wasn't prepared for some type of emergency.'' A round of chuckles emerged from the group as they all imagined the expression on her face.
'When she saw my injury, she immediately pulled out the potions from her pouch, didn't even pause in shoving a few into my hands and asking me how much pain I was in.' He smiled at the memory. 'That's when I made the foolish mistake of telling her to leave me there and go find one of you.'
' And you lived to tell the tale?' Warriors asked, smirking widely.
'Barely, the glare I receive was quite fierce.' Time didn't even bother to hold the laughter down, still remembering how startled he had been, having such a glare directed at him.
'Like a raging Goddess, she demanded I take better care of myself, or face mothering the likes of which I never saw before.' He looked exasperated, yet his voice was the definition of amused.
' She then proceeded to baby talk me until I agreed.'
Time was not ashamed as the group roared with laughter.
'Are you serious?'
'Poor man!' Warriors reached over and clapped a hand on the older man's shoulder.
'Oh, THAT must have been uncomfortable!' Sky commented between breaths.
' I barely lasted a few sentences before I was pleading for mercy.' He rolled his eyes and huffed through his nose.
'So THAT'S why you were so careful in battle the weeks after.' Hyrule realized, grinning as Time shrugged.
'When I'm threatened with something like THAT? How can I do anything else but obey?'
Wars held his hands up in a shrug, smirk on his face. 'Ah but who are we to question Her divine command?'
'Who are we indeed..' Time murmured with a breathy laugh.
Wild smirked, eyes glinting with glee. 'Speaking of her doing things we don't expect, Vet! Remember when she met Wolfie?'
Legend smirked, even as Twilight send a glare at the cook. 'Rather brave of her, despite never being near an actual wolf before. '
Sky frowned. 'But didn't she look nervous?' Twilight sighed as Legend and Wild let out a laugh.
' You would think! But she apparently didn't want to break any unspoken rules about touching him.' Wild couldn't resist the sharp grin as he eyed the embarrassed rancher. 'You should have seen her when she was given the okay. I'm surprised the mutt was able to escape her constant pets and kisses.'
Twilight wasn't able to keep the blush down when Wind grumbled a very clear 'Lucky bastard.' To the amusement of everyone else, especially those who knew his secret.
They fell into a comfortable silence after that, the sound of the waves a song that filled their ears, the wind playing with their hair as they got lost in thought.
'...Go and bring peace to Hyrule.'
They looked at Wild, he was looking at the sea. 'Every time I went to one of those statues, that's what Hylia would tell me.'
He dug his boot into the sand. 'She would heal me up when I had enough spirit orbs, fill me with vitality, but every time she finished, she would always say those same words.' He grimaced
'And every time, I would think, 'is she healing me because cares, or because I'm just a means to an end?''
Wild shooked his head, never taking his eyes off the sea.
'Even though I've fought evil for her sake. For Zelda's sake. I always felt like she wanted more.' He grimaced.
“I don’t even know what more I could have given…” He admitted, “Always thinking that I’ll one day wake up and realize that I was fated to sacrifice more.'
Then a small smile pulled at his lips, 'But when I'm with (y/n)...I don't feel that weight of responsibility...the weight of those thoughts.' His words were barely above a whisper by the end.
'With her...I feel free.'
For several moments, there was stillness. Watch of them could feel the bite of the ocean breeze on their skin, the heat of the campfire barely able to hold off the chill and darkness surrounding them.
"She said she was proud of me..' Wild whispered, "Said that every breath I took, every moment I opened my eyes to greet the day, was rebellion against what destiny, what Ganon, had wanted.'
'She saw me, a failure of a hero, and said she was proud of me,' He whispered, unable to trust himself with anything louder. 'How could I possibly love another when she says such things with so much honesty?'
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
'How could I go on, following Hylia's command blindly, when (y/n) comes to me with those kind eyes and says She just wants me to be happy?'
'Hylia does not want champions.' Time shook his head, smirking bitterly. 'She merely wants toy soldiers.'
Sky's eyes flew up to the look at eldest of the group.
'Surely that's a bit much, Hylia..has done what she could for us.'
'Who is Hylia? A being who seeks soldiers to clean up her mess? A being who only expects us to obey?' Time interjected.
Sky swallowed. 'But..she's assisted us-'
Time shook his head. 'No, she simply made sure we survived long enough to eliminate her enemies.'
Wild frowned, rubbing the back of his neck. 'When you think about it, he's right. We have never worshiped Hylia because we wanted to. But because we were obligated to. Because most of us were raised to believe it was an honor.'
He looked at Sky. 'But...isn't a goddess of benevolence supposed to be someone who is kinder than a mortal could comprehend? Someone who cares for her servants for no other reason than because we love her as much as she loved us?'
Twilight smiled bitterly. 'A goddess like that is someone I wouldn't mind serving. '
'Isn't that why we love Her so?' Legend said softly.
Warriors looked at him oddly. '(y/n) isn't a goddess Legend.'
Legend looked at him with carefully impassive expression. 'But we want her to be.'
They all looked anywhere but at him.
'You've all already admitted it. Even if you don't want to say it.' Legend smirked.
'Vet-'
''Who are we to question Her divine command?'' He repeated, smirking when the captain's mouth snapped shut.
'We all want her to be.' Legend repeated, catching Hyrule's eye and staring him down.
-Admit it.- His eyes said. Hyrule flinching at being seen through. Wanting to deny the silent accusation.
...But his heart wouldn't let him deny such a thing either.
'...(y/n) would make a better goddess than hylia.' He admitted, looking down.
Sky snap his attention to the traveler, his eyes slightly wide.
'Hyrule-' Legend cut Sky off, looking right at the skyloftian.
'Can you deny that she's already better than hylia?' Sky seemed to struggle with an answer, but Legend didn't wait for an answer.
'Is She not kinder, sweeter, more beautiful than anyone else? She never asks for anything other than our safety and happiness. Becomes upset when we try to do more than we can handle and tries to actually help us whenever she can. '
Twilight sighed, but nodded in agreement. 'Her presence is like a soothing warmth that never falters. I don't think I've ever had someone who's presence relieved me the way Hers does.'
He grimaced. 'Not even Hylia herself can claim such a thing.'
A glance at Sky, causing him to grimace and look away.
'Someone with a beautiful soul like Hers...' Hyrule whispered, folding his hands in front of his chest, almost like he was praying.
'I..I could worship someone like Her everyday without regret.' He looked away, as if shameful of his admittance.
'..What's wrong with that?' Hyrule looked at who spoke.
'Wars?'
Warriors did not look at him, staring at the ground. But his face had shifted into an expression of thoughtfulness. 'What's wrong with wanting to worship her? '
Hyrule's face flushed red. '..it...it seems a bit inappropriate to-'
'Because we're supposed to worship Hylia?' He looked up at him. 'Farore? Nayru? Din?'
'...I-'
Wind frowned, looking around. ' Why can't we worship who we desire? Worship someone we CAN trust?'
Twilight bit his lip, shaking his head. 'That's too much of a dream to even CONSIDER-'
Legend barked a laugh.
'Dreams are only dreams until we make them a reality.'
'...!' He chuckled at the shocked looks he received from most of them.
'You said it better than I ever could Hyrule. Someone with as beautiful of a soul as Her's is someone we could worship everyday of our lives without regret.'
'But we can't-'
'Why? Because we're Hylia's 'Champions'? I don't know if you remember this, but we've done our duties, defeated Ganon and the only reason I'll not complaining about THIS journey anymore is because it brought us Her.'
'Legend-'
'And don't we in a way worship her already?'
Wild tilted his head. 'What do you mean?'
He raised a finger, 'Don't we find joy in caring for her? Providing for her? Is that not paying tribute?' A second finger, 'Don't we defend her when danger is near? Cutting down every enemy that come near her? Is that not raising our swords in her name?'
He leaned forward, A manic glint flashing in his eyes. A third finger was raised. 'Do we not find joy when she whispers our name, do we not find peace when we whisper Hers? Is that not devotion? Tell me otherwise and I'll concede.'
But no one said anything.
No one wanted to.
Because they agreed with his words so much.
'She deserves someone to protect her...' Hyrule whispered, as if to himself, as if to convince himself to listen to the words being spoken to him.
'She deserves US to protect Her.' Legend corrected, his smile was all teeth, but it wasn't malicious.
'We've defeated literal evil. We're the best people to protect Her.' Wind added, his eyes matching the Veteran's. Soon matching the eyes of all of them.
'And doesn't She deserve the very best, after everything She's done for us?' Legend spread his arms out, smirk on his face. Sky smiled, looking at his hands, laughing softly, shaking his head.
'I...suppose you're right...' he slowly admitted, his shoulder releasing tension, almost relieved.
'I..can't see anyone else providing for her the way we can.'
'We have the resources...' Four slowly added, a note of mania woven through the blacksmith's words, 'We have much sway in our eras and what we don't have, I'm reasonably sure we know someone who can provide it for us.'
'We've faced more than enough adversaries to be able to counter any situation.' Warriors smirked, sitting back, arms crossed.
'The safest place is with us.' Time said, a sense of finality in his words.
And for the first time in so long, they all were united with such a decision.
It didn't matter if there wasn't a drop of divinity in her.
It didn't matter if she wasn't able to use magic or blessed by any spirit.
She was not a goddess in the way they knew. But only a fool would deny the beautiful divinity that radiated from Her heart.
She was Divine to them.
A presence that was not unlike an ocean of warmth that wanted to drown them in love and safety.  Eager to drive them mad, to drive them to protect Her happiness.
And they would drown in that ocean willingly.
She didn't even realize what she was doing to them.
She didn't realize that the very person She was was causing them to crave Her gentle touch, Her beautiful smiles, Her arms wrapped around them.
She didn't realize any of this.
Because it was as natural as breathing to Her.
How many times was Her kindness going to steal the breath from their lungs?
How many times was Her gentle voice going to soothe them when they wake from their nightmares, Her hands wiping the tears from their face?
How many times will they crave the chance to kiss away Her tears but only be able to brush them aside.
But it was alright.
They loved Her so much.
A Goddess of their own making.
One that they would worship freely, not like how obligation and duty forced their hand with Hylia.
Hylia demanded their loyalty.
(y/n) merely asked for their continued happiness.
Hylia commanded they fight in her name.
(y/n) requested they remained safe and healthy.
Hylia wanted heroes.
(y/n) wanted only them.
She wanted them.
She trusted them.
She cared for them.
She was the one they wanted to serve.
They fulfilled their duties to Hylia.
They no longer were obligated to serve her.
But (y/n)...She was so fragile compared to the rest of them. Having lived in a world with no monsters, no calamities or destiny.
She needed to be protected.
She needed them to protect Her.
They were the only ones who could protect Her.
They needed to unite. To stand side by side, as a shield against the monsters, against anyone that would dare take Her from them.
They couldn't fight amongst themselves anymore.
They couldn't allow Her to come to harm ever again.
All this time wasted fighting when they could have been protecting Her. Making her happy. Keeping her safe. How foolish of them.
But no longer.
To protect their Reason for breathing, there could be no room for trickery or lies between each other. Only for those that stood between them and Her.
The sun was rising, washing away the rivalries and dissonance of the past night, and the rays of dawn shining upon renewed unity and brotherhood.
She is their's; a Gift that pure chance had bestowed upon them.'
They would protect Her. Together.
They would protect their Goddess.
No one will ever take Her away from them.
No One.

They Just Don't Know You
Soft Yandere! Seo Moon-Jo x F! Reader
Tumblr media
Disclaimer: This is just a work of fiction. If this piece of fan fiction is offensive to any celebrity, fandom or culture please let me know so I can take it down. Also note that this is my version of a character or celeb, which will vary from person to person.
Author's Note: A 2nd longer fic for our lovely cannibalistic psychopath. I hate that I'm attracted to him. Someone please be my therapist. Or psychiatrist. Honestly doesn't matter. My brain is fucked anyway.
Copyright: Please note that this is my work and if you want to publish this on any other platform, take my permission before doing so. Taking an author's work and posting it somewhere else without any intimation is just disrespectful. I readily welcome suggestions and criticisms. That being said, Happy reading! 🤍
Warnings: 16+ and written for female reader, but all can read. (nothing specified with respect to appearance, etc of reader). Except that I've mentioned reader is short, cuz LDW is tall 🥰. There is a brief mention of sex, but no actual smut. Reader kinda highkey hates on her parents and younger sister. Read it to know. Age gap between reader and Moon-Jo. Slight obsessive thoughts. Manipulative words. I tried to put plot twist in the end, probably you won't notice it 💀. Please please tell me if I need to add more warnings. Do not read if you start to feel uncomfortable. I apologize in advance 🥺
❗❗PLEASE READ WARNINGS ❗❗
Pre-Requisite / Summary: Just a fic based on the song They Just Don't Know You by Little Mix. After watching Strangers from hell I related this song to him for some reason. Reader and Moon-Jo are in an established relationship. And reader's loved ones don't approve.
2.3k ish words My longest fic till date 🥳
" You know that he's too old for you. You can settle for younger, much younger guys for your age sweetheart. If you can't find anyone eligible enough, we will find one for you. And you don't even know if he has intentions of marrying you. What if all he wants is just a fling or some time pass relationship. Hmm? What are you going to do then? "
Sipping her tea silently, Y/N sat next to her dad on the porch swing, listening to all the criticisms he had about Moon-Jo. All his words did was boil her blood. But what could she do when they don't walk in her shoes? They don't know how safe and content she feels when he kisses her like she's the only girl for him in the entire universe. And no point in explaining that to her father anyway. She's tried. And failed. Multiple times.
"Are you done with your tea?" She asks her dad, in desperate attempt to try and get away from him and his words because she knows, and even he knows that it's going to end up in a fight if they continue to speak on the same topic.
Humming yes, he hands her his tea cup which she takes to the kitchen so she can help her mom with dinner. Placing them in the sink upon entering the kitchen, Y/N drags her palms down her face in frustration.
" I could hear what he said you know. Your dad. He's not wrong. Seo Moon-Jo seems like he'll break your heart in three. And we're only looking out for you Y/N. You don't have to go through heartbreak when you can very well avoid it." Her mom finished slowly.
" Why. Why is it so difficult for you to accept the fact that I'm actually in a happy relationship for once in my life. So what if he's much older than I am? He's a dentist. A doctor. A very good profession and he's known and well respected in his neighbourhood too. " Y/N said loud enough for her dad also to hear.
Huffing in annoyance she left the kitchen to go upstairs to her room. Or rather the room she shares with her sister. Of course the door is wide open. The younger rascal is always here for the drama.
Ever since Y/N came out to her family about her relationship with Moon-Jo, her sister has become the favourite child, for obvious reasons. And now eavesdropping with the door wide open? That's a new low. But what else can Y/N expect from such a low life who is literally thriving off her own sister's pain and suffering.
When entering the room, Y/N realizes how big a mistake it was to visit her family. And she did not need such snark from a younger, less experienced child.
"Are you that blinded by " Love " that you don't even see how weird his hair is? A man who isn't an idol or actor doesn't need such long hair. He's clearly a fuckboy. Or man whore. Whichever is right. " She said with disgust.
'She's just jealous. She's just a jealous bitch. They all are.' Y/N thinks to herself.
" At least one of us gets laid regularly. And just so you know, it's absolutely heavenly when he makes me cum over and over on his fingers and his dick-" Y/N said as her tone slowly got lower and darker and her emotion angrier.
Screaming and covering her ears, the younger girl ran downstairs to her mother, no doubt to tattle on her older sister. Rolling her eyes, Y/N started packing her things, all of them, in a bag she took down from the top shelf of the wardrobe.
It's really difficult to leave one's family, but it is clearly getting more and more tiresome to love them nowadays. If it's so wrong to date him, why does Y/N herself not see it? She's a logical and smart young lady. Does her family hate that man so much that they don't even want her to be happy? No matter who she's with. And is it so bad to date a man who's older? Richer? And cares more about her than all of her family members combined?
Wiping the fallen tear stains from her cheek, she just thinks to herself ' They just don't know him. They just don't know him like I do. '
Sending a text to her lover, saying that she misses him and that she's coming back home sooner than planned, Y/N carries her bag through the front door, her parents and sister ignoring her as she leaves and walks out that door one final time.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once reaching their shared apartment, Y/N collapsed into her lover's arms the moment he opens the door, crying her eyes out. Seeing his lover in turmoil, shedding a tear or two of his own, Moon-Jo carries her to the living room couch to cradle her like a child who needs attention.
" They- They said -"
" Shh my darling. I know. " Moon-Jo said, shushing his girlfriend and giving her a shoulder to cry on. Once she's calmed a little, her sobs turning to sniffs, she lifts her head to meet his gaze.
Seeing her sad, tear stained eyes always upset him. More than anything in the world. Running his long slender fingers across her cheeks and jaw, he removes her hair from her ponytail with his free hand and rests it on her thigh.
" Tell me. Please tell me that you won't break my heart like them. That you won't try to tear my world apart like them. " Y/N looked desperately at him, wanting so badly to know that he's not just using her.
Those words, that slipped out her mouth, shocked Moon-Jo, to say the least. What did he do wrong? What did her family fill her head with?
Tilting his head to a little, he looks into her red eyes, trying to read her mind for a moment, all the while she just looked at him with the same desperate expression.
"Please tell me that you will be there when I need you the most. " Y/N whispered so softly, she herself barely heard it. But the end of the sentence, she started crying all over again.
Taking her head to his neck, he stroked her hair and her sides, trying to calm her down.
" Darling. I promise with my everything, that I will never leave you, I will never ever let you go. That I will do anything, anything necessary to prove my love to you. "
"No, oh dear no. That's not, you don't have- have to do anything at all to make me believe you love me. I'm sorry I asked such a stupid question. " She sobbed out.
Shushing her softly again, he rocks their bodies back and forth, till she's calmed and fallen asleep there, in his arms. Knowing that his arms are her only safe place for her from now on, he takes her delicate figure to the bedroom.
Placing her on her side of the bed, he lays down on his. Staring at her stunning face, he feather touches her face with his fingertips, memorizing every curve, every little detail on her, like a sculptor admiring his work and giving it the finishing touches.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" So, I did a little digging on your sugar daddy. "
" Why?! And he's not my sugar daddy. " Y/N said in disbelief. No. Not her dear best friend too.
" I know you said not to and I'm sorry. But I am worried about you. He made you leave your family Y/N. " They stated with worry and sympathy.
" No. He didn't make me leave them. I left them by choice. They don't see him like I do. And clearly, they hate that I'm happy with him. " Y/N finished as they sat down at the lunch table.
" Y/N..... "
" What? Even you don't want me to be happy? " She questioned her friend in disbelief. Laughing sarcastically Y/N shook her head.
" I've heard rumours! Okay? He was in the orphanage that had that severe fire explosion. And most of the culprits from that incident are MIA. What if he's one of the people who caused it?! " They said in a whisper, worried that the neighbouring people can hear their conversation.
" Do you really think that? All of that is just a rumour. And he's told me about it. He's told me everything. Unlike my parents who so desperately tried to tie me down to an arranged marriage. "
" He's not good for you. I know you deserve better. Okay he may make happy and all but what if he leaves? What if he just uses you and drops you like you were nothing? We're just trying to make sure you don't get hurt Y/N. Physically and emotionally. " They finished.
" This, all what you said, is cheap talk. But it'll eventually wear down because when we get married and have kids and all that in the future, you're all going to look like fools. And I will proudly say ' I told you so '. "
" If that's the case then I am the happiest person for you. Hopefully I won't have to be the one to say ' I told you so'. "
" Wow. I, just- hah. Wow. Just wow. " She paused.
" You know, I really hoped you would be more supportive or at least tolerant enough to have patience and support me with my decision for my love. " Y/N said loud enough for eavesdroppers to hear audibly.
Of all the people she would have to drop, never even in her nightmares had she fathomed that her best friend would be one.
Getting up from the table, she picks up her bag and leaves without another word, and goes to the only place that has love for her and that accepts her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Reaching home, Y/N notices the place empty. Maybe he's at the clinic?
Shrugging off her bag and jacket she sits on the couch for a moment, before her restlessness takes over and she begins pacing in the living room.
Why are people being like this? Do they hate her so much? They barely know him. Why are they treating and accusing him to be such a criminal! He's not. He takes care of Y/N so much. He loves her so much. He provides for her. He's affectionate with her, more than he's told he thought capable. He's become her ride or die. And she, his.
They don't know him like I do. They will never love me like he does.
They don't know about the love they have. The just see what they want to see. Bloody society dictating whom to love and whom to not. Is it so hard to see the love they have for each other? Can't they just let it be. They don't know the turmoil she's gone through recently; they don't know how well he's taken care of her, kept her happy and same enough to not let her intrusive thoughts get the best of her.
Her thoughts interrupted by the door clicking open. Smiling, Moon-Jo enters with a box, surely containing sweets from her favourite bakery. How can you not love someone so considerate, who does things for you without even having to ask.
Seeing the sad look upon his lover's face, Moon-Jo's smile fades into a frown.
" What's wrong my dear? "
Smiling sadly Y/N just shakes her head, conveying that she doesn't want to talk about it.
Placing the box of sweets on the coffee table, the two hug each other, feeling of comfort taking over them both. She can just stay here, forever, in his arms till the world ends.
" Babe. What's wrong? You can tell me anything. Anything at all. I'll take care of the problem. " Delicately Moon-Jo cradles Y/N's head in his palms, making her face up to him, their height difference evident.
Sighing, she moves to sit on the couch, motioning him to do the same. " It's just people. And what they say. My family was one thing, but my best friend, the person I chose as my family " Pausing Y/N breathers the tears back in, " They were doubtful of you today. How can I live knowing that no one will approve of us? " Y/N questioned looking at him.
" Does their opinion really matter that much? So much so that you are skeptical of my affection to you? " Coldly, he moved back from his seat on the couch.
" No! No. Gosh that is not what I mean. Not at all. I love you and I know that you love me. So much. So much so I would die for you. But there are other people whom I care about. Who's opinions matter to me. And I don't want to let them go. As happy as I am with you, I need them too. They give me joy in a different way, that is important. "
" Do I not make you happy? Are you not content with the love I give you? Is it not enough? " He asks carefully.
" That's not what I meant! You love me more than anyone I've known. "
"Then what's the problem? You don't need those people who don't love you. You have me. You will have me forever and ever. I will never leave you. And you will never leave me either. We'll be with each other till the end of the world darling. "
Nodding with a small smile you looked down at your feet.
Unhappy with your action, Moon-Jo pulls your face up by your chin to look at him with such force, it scared you a little, making your heart skip a beat in fear.
" Do you not love me, babe? " He asked tilting his head to a side, his expression mildly offended.
" I do! I love you. So much. " You finished with a soft tone, cupping his face with your hands.
Grinning like a Cheshire Cat, Moon-Jo leaned down to capture your lips with his. Reacting immediately, you kissed him with as much energy and sincerity you could muster, as you head filled with thoughts of doubt.
Had your parents been right? Had for friend been right? Had they all been right all along and you too blind to see?
No. It can't be. He loves you. He's said that so many times. And you love him.
You love him.
You.
Love.
Him.
...
Do you love him, or have you been illusioned into loving him?

Ok hear me out. Spencer is dating Reader and she’s always hated that she’s been more chubby/curvy. And one night in the middle of a case she calls him crying and Spencer just gets really soft and calms her down after a bad nightmare. And his heart breaks cause his loving girlfriend hates her body. So Spencer plans this elaborate date and proposes maybe? You can decide if the team have met her or not. I’d like it to be the original team but if you wanna combine the original and new teams together that’s cool too!
no bc my body image issues have been rampant lately so this is personal as hell to me. I work out a lot and i’m fit but i’ve never been SKINNY like i have thick legs and muscular arms andnnfnfjndjnffn so this is personal.
I modified this a bit but it’s still the same premises hope you like it! ***BTW IN THIS UNIVERSE THE S3-7 CAST EXISTS FOR THE ENTIRE SHOW— SO THE LATER SEASONS HAVE MORGAN AND HOTCH.
also sorry this is a long
TW: body image issues, discussions of food & weight, insecurity, crying, kissing
WC: 1.5k
-
You know, pragmatically, that you have nothing to worry about. Spencer chose you. And for the past four years, Spencer has worshipped you every day— again and again. He is the most loving, considerate, and tender partner you could ever wish for. He is near perfection.
You’ve met Spencer's friends many times. You’re not close with either of your parents, so the team of profilers welcomed you into their arms with grace and care. Each and every one of them is beautifully amazing and exceptionally brilliant.
Spencer‘s friends are not only badass, but they’re also gorgeous. JJ, Emily, and Garcia are national treasures— so visually stunning it’s almost sickening.
You knew he used to have a crush on JJ way before he met you. You’ve also heard the tale of Lila Archer, the celebrity actress who made out with your boyfriend in a pool. Spencer’s had an eventful life, full of beautiful, sweet, magnificent women— so why does he choose you?
You view yourself as bland in comparison. What do you have to offer Spencer that he can’t find elsewhere? You don’t have toned abs, slim hips, and slender arms. You’re not striking in any way.
Spencer calls you every night when he’s away on a case. He’s never missed a call, even when he got shot in the neck and kidnapped by a murderous cult. He’s reliable and consistent, and that eases your worries a little bit.
It’s eleven pm in D.C. and your phone rings right as your getting in bed.
“Hi, my love,” Spencer says breathily, his voice slightly muffled by the phone. He’s away in Ohio for a case.
“Hey.” You reply, the sweetness in his voice soured by your mood. “How’s the case going?”
“Good. JJ and I are about to pass out in our beds— we’re so tired.”
You can’t help the way your face drops. “Oh. Well, get rest.”
Your about to hang up before he interjects. “Hey, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Why?” You know better than to lie to your boyfriend, who happens to be an expert on human behavior.
“Okay, I know a lie when I hear one. (Y/N), baby, what’s wrong?” He pleads.
You can’t help the tear that rolls down your cheek. “God, I’m sorry. I just miss you so much. You always know what to do when I’m feeling like shit.”
Spencer knows how much you struggle with self and bodily acceptance. He hates the world for making you feel anything less than incredible, both inside and out.
“I miss you too, so much, (Y/N).” His voice is thick as if he’s going to start crying too. “I love you so much, so fucking much. You have no idea how beautiful and amazing you are.”
“I don’t deserve you.”
“That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.” He laughs through a sob that wrecks his body. “You deserve everything in this world. I promise to give you everything you’ve ever wanted. You are the love of my life.”
You wipe the tears from underneath your eyes. “Sorry for keeping you up. You must be tired.”
“Never, if it means I get to talk to you.”
“I love you, Spencer.”
“I love you too, (Y/N). More than you’ll ever know.”
-
Spencer wakes up the next day with a newfound determination. The team solves the case as fast as possible, and by the end of the night, they’ve boarded the jet back home.
Spencer has more than enough hours to think about you and how much you mean to him. Hotch is seated directly across from him, rereading the case files.
“Hotch?” The wiser man looks up from his files, raising an eyebrow.
Spencer pauses for a moment. Maybe he’d be better asking Morgan or JJ for advice, considering Hotch’s tragic circumstances regarding Haley.
But no one loves like Hotch does-- sincerely, passionately-- stronger than anything else in the world. Spencer decides there’s no one better to ask.
“How uh did you know that Haley was the one?”
Hotch’s eyes soften for a bit. He clears his throat. “I knew since the day I met her that I would love her for the rest of my life unconditionally. She makes me complete. Do you feel that (Y/N) makes you complete?”
He already knows why Spencer is asking for his advice, steering the conversation in that direction.
“Yes. She’s my world.” Spencer whispers.
“Then it’s simple, really. Love doesn’t need to be complicated and precise. It’s what you do with it that matters.”
“I want to marry her, Hotch. I want to be with her for the rest of my life.”
Hotch smiles, “Then do it.”
Spencer feels the rush of excitement as he gathers everyone on the jet, including the prior sleeping passengers, filling them in on his big plans.
“I need all of your guys’ help.”
-
There’s a firm knock on your door at four in the morning. You know it isn’t Spencer because he has a key, but who could it be?
You take a cautious look out of your peephole to find Penelope, Emily, and JJ outside.
“What are you guys doing here?” You yawn. “For god's sake, it’s four am.”
“We know, and we’re sorry.” Penelope smiles.
“Is Spencer alright?” You ask, wondering if things suddenly went wrong during the case.
But by the joyous look on their face, you know nothing somber occurred.
“Spencer’s completely fine. But, we need to you to get changed and come with us. FBI’s orders.” JJ chuckles.
You change into warmer clothes in minutes, and the BAU ladies usher you into Emily’s car as fast as possible.
“So, no ones gonna tell me what’s going on?”
They shake their heads, “We’re just... running a quick errand.”
After a few more minutes of driving, Emily parks on the side of a dimly lit street.
“I need you to put this on.” She says, holding up a blindfold.
“Are you guys gonna murder me?” You joke, slipping the fabric over your eyes with little resistance.
“Quite the opposite, actually.” You don’t have time to think about what Penelope means before you’re being yanked out of the car.
You walk, guided by JJ, for four minutes. The grass beneath you crushes below your boots, and the hushed whispers of Emily and Penelope behind you do nothing to calm your nerves.
“Okay,” JJ says, halting to a stop. “You can take off your blindfold now.”
You hesitantly slip the blindfold off, revealing a brightly lit table in the middle of a secluded field. Morgan, Hotch, and Rossi are standing off to the sides.
Suddenly, Spencer emerges from behind a tree, dusting the leaves and dirt off his adorable sweater.
“Hi?” You laugh, utterly confused by this situation. “What’s going on?”
His hands are shaking, and he has to swallow a few times before he can speak. “I-I uh got y-you apple pie— uh your favorite.”
Spencer walks you towards the table, where a small slice of warm pie sits lonely on the table.
“Y-you should um... eat it.” He urges, pointing at the knife and fork next to it.
You glance around, trying to gauge the emotions of everyone around you, but fail. Stupid profilers and their poker faces.
Your fork cuts into the heavenly smelling pie, and you scoop up a bite into your mouth.
“It’s... good? I’ll pretty much eat any pie you give me, Spencer.”
He smiles, “I know that. But t-this is a special pie.”
“Okay...”
“You should t-take a closer look— at the pie.”
You inspect the dessert, completely puzzled until a glinting piece of silver catches your eye. Spencer notices the shock in your face and catches the plate that almost falls out of your hand.
Morgan hands him a napkin, and when Spencer pulls an apple-covered ring from the slice of pie, you almost faint.
“No way.” You gasp; tears spring to your eyes as Spencer wipes the ring clean.
He holds it tightly between two fingers, bending to kneel on one knee.
“(Y/N) (Y/M/N) (Y/L/N), I knew from the moment I met you that you were the most special woman I’d have the pleasure of meeting. A month later, you asked me out for our first date, and I couldn’t believe that someone as gorgeous and amazing as you would settle for someone like me.” You scoff at his humility.
“I spend every moment loving every part of you, (Y/N). None of my love will ever stop— ever. I promise to share my heart with you until the very end. There is absolutely no one I would rather be bonded to for the rest of my life. You are better than my dream girl because you’re real. You’re here, and you chose to love me every day— the good, the bad, and the ugly. (Y/N), will you do me the honor and great privilege of allowing me to become your husband?” You silently sob.
“Please say yes.” Spencer smiles.
“Yes!” You exclaim, pulling him up to hug him. “How could I say anything but!”
The dam breaks, and the entire team begins to cry as you and Spencer share a passionate kiss, almost collapsing down onto the grass from the sheer force of your love. He slips the ring onto your finger; it belongs there.
“I choose you, (Y/N).” He repeats.
“I choose you, Spencer, always.” You whisper into the crook of his neck.
Nothing’s ever felt so right.

No one said Starks weren't a little dramatic
This is the first time I write Tony x daughter reader I hope you guys like it :)
Word Count: 2319 ( Things got a bit out of my hands while I was editing and eventhough it's edited I can't promise that there aren't any typos and I dtill wasn't satisfied with what I wrote but 🤷‍♀️Ig )
Warnings: Major character death, a lot of angst
Tumblr media
Y/N loses her dad when he decides to save the universe with a snap of his fingers but when did anyone see a Stark not getting what they want? Let me answer for you, Never. ( AKA Y/N gambles with time and space and universes surprisingly there isn't any VA involved cause in my opinion they suck to save her dad but apparently there are always consequences)
Y/N had arrived at her destination albeit being a little late. She wanted to be there when the team tried to go back in time to get the Stones in hopes of saving aunt Tasha too but she had one and only shot at this so she had to make do with what she had. What she didn’t realise was she accidentally changed universes instead of going back in time.
The way she found out that the place she had arrived wasn’t when or where she intented to was Morgan, the little girl with big Brown eyes who had total control over her older sister the second they met. Y/N had to lay low and do her research before approaching them. But when she heard about Morgan she had to meet her before doing what she came to do. And that’s exactly what she did.
She found Morgan in a house by the lake with a woman who she assumed was Pepper.Her visit was short since she couldn’t afford getting caught by Pepper which would mean jeopardising the whole plan she had spent months making. She left a message for her dad before going off to save the man itself.
Her dad was fighting with Thanos when she arrived to the scene. The more she looked around the more it looked like the place she fought along with her dad and that meant one thing, she had to act quick.
‘’I am inevitable’’ Thanos said as he snapped his finger but nothing happened. Confused, he looked at his gauntlet to find that the Stones that were there a minute ago were no longer in their places. He looked around to see that Tony had them somehow.
‘’And I’m Iron Man’’ said Tony full of emotions as he was about to snap his fingers. He thought having all six Stones in his hands would kill him being a mortal and he was fine with it if that meant she could ensure his family’s security but he felt nothing. He thought he had died instantly but he found out that wasn’t the case when he got startled by an unknown voice.
‘’Oh, the hell with that!’’ said a girl who wore a similar suit to Tony’s. She seemed to appear out of nowhere. Which confused both man further.
‘’Who the hell are you?’’ asked Tony. Who the hell was mad enough decided to mess up the only chance of him stopping the big purple psycho of a man.
‘’Who do you think?’’ said the girl, winking at him confidentally but her eyes told a different story. There was sadness in them, grief and loss but it seemed like she was happy at the same time.What surprised him was the familiarity she carried but he couldn’t put his finger on it. So he searched her suit for some clues which led up to him finding the Stones. She was the reason he was not dead, she somehow got possession of the Stones.
‘’Kid, no!’’ yelled Tony. He attempted to get closer to her but she snapped her fingers before he could stop her. Everything stilled for a second. The other avengers thought Tony had done it as Thanos’ soldiers had started to turn to dust all of a sudden but when they found a girl that they’ve never seen before in the arms of Tony with fetal injuries they were puzzled. They gathered around Tony and the girl who struggled tos tay alive.
‘’I made it! I… I saved you, Dad.’’Tony was shocked at her words. He was processing what he heard as Pepper landed next to them and kneeled. They couldn’t Wrap their heads around what was happening but they both were not going to let a dying kid down for sure.
She had a difficulty breathing, she was in agonizing pain but she had a peaceful smile on her face. She tried to lift her hand but it pained her more, she whimpered. Tony sensed her intentions and put her hand on his cheek for her. He put his hand on top of her, gave it a gentle squeeze. ‘’Friday, what do we have?’’ asked Tony.
‘’3 to 4 degree burns from her right hand up to her face. Internal bleeding. Her lungs are collapsing... Life functions critical.’’ Answered the voice from both of the suits. Pepper grimaced, she didn’t know who this girl was but she had sacrificed herself for Tony, the man she referred ‘dad’. ‘’Who are you?’’ asked Pepper.
‘’I’m–‘’ she coughed, blood was pooling in her mouth. ‘’I’m surprised you couldn’t figure it out yet…’’ she let out a bloody laugh. ‘’I’m Y/N. Y/N Stark.’’ She said with her last breath. That shook the whole group to their cores. The girl wasn’t lying or confusing Tony with someone else. The girl who lied in his Tony’s arms nonbreathing was infact the daughter of Tony Stark. From the moment they realised the truth everything was a blur to the Stark Family and the avengers.
Y/N was Tony’s first daughter who had died in a cross fire 7 years ago. She was a teenager at the time. She would have been a few years older than Peter if she had lived. It was a wrong place wrong time type of situation, she had died on the scene. Tony had nightmares after that, his insomnia got worse. He had blamed himself although it had nothing to do with him. The guilt ate him alive day by day. He realised why the girl’s eyes were so familiar to him now, she was his Y/N/N. A grown, older version of her, but his Y/N nontheless.
He didn’t think he could recover from her death but losing her, seeing her die in his arms for the second time ruined him. He had no idea what was happening outside of his head, he was in a trance, he had stayed still looking at his hands where Y/N laid. Until his little girl, Morgan came up to him with a disk in hand and said ‘’Daddy! Daddy! A girl called Y/N wanted me to give this to you’’ That got everyone’s attention.
Tony told Friday to scan the disk and display whatever is in it. When he saw Y/N in front of her, he couldn’t stop the tears from falling and when she started speaking as if she could see her Tony lost it. He couldn’t hear her because of his own sobs, he didn’t even realised the rest of the avengers and his wife as they piled in the room when they heard Tony and Y/N’s voice. He had to stop the hologram a few times to gather himself. When he got control of his breathing, he built up his courage and displayed it all over again.
‘’Hey dad. I’m assuming since you are watching this I suceed. I’ve saved you.’’ She had to stop for a second to take a breath in to compose herself. ‘This time’ she said under her breath but Friday caught it.
‘’You are wondering how the hell I am alive. Well… For starters, I didn’t know that I was dead in this world which… makes you realise that I’m not from this world. I’m actually from what you call an alternative universe. Things got out of hand in my universe after… after you… Oh shit! This is too hard. I knew I couldn’t do this shit! I can’t even talk to my own god damn suit picturing it as my hypothetical dad without messing it up’’ that made a few people chuckle and a few others tos mile. The girl really was his father’s child after all.
‘’Okay I’m hoping you either won’t have to watch this or I can cut that part before giving it to Morgan. Anyways, I’m rambling.’’ Tony saw his younger self in Y/N which put a sad smile to his face. This was something he never got to experience before. To see her this grown up. To see a pieces of him in her.
‘’ So things went down hill after you did the whole ‘I’m Iron Man’ thing –which by the way I’m still mad at you about­- You… You died in my hands, dad.’’ She gulped. She had begun crying a while ago but now that she was talking about her dad’s death, she felt like the lump in her throat got bigger and bigger, suffocating her. ‘’ I was all alone for years! You were all I had and then within a second you were gone! I didn’t have anyone else!’’ She tried to calm herself. She wasn’t recording this to make him feel guilty or get answers she was possibly never going to hear. This was a goodbye. A goodbye she knew he deserved just like how she did from him.
‘’That’s why I made the decision to change it but I accidentally changed universes instead of going back in time. But this was my only chance, only shot at making it right. And then I found out that I had died in this universe and you had moved on. Good for you, dad. I’m really proud of you. You did what I couldn’t. It was a relief to know that you were happy and that you had a family now. I thought for a second that maybe the blip didn’t happen. That in this universe, you had a lovely life and I thought for a second maybe I could be in it too. Stay with you but that hope was shortly lived.’’ She gave a sad smile.
‘’And now I’m about to go to the battle field. Before I go, I have to say, I don’t know how if there is any way for me to stop you. I can’t take it all back but I will do anything to not let another girl grow up without her dad. And I ain’t going to let my own sister down. Oh, did you know that I always wanted a sister?’’ she chuckled making Tony’s heart warm. It has been so long since he heard his daughter chuckle the damn way he does. She stopped for a second to think ‘’Well, she has the Stark charm, that’s for sure. I only knew her for a few hours and she had me the second we met. I wish I could be there for her as her older sister. I would give anything to see her grow up but if that has to be for only one of us to see, I’d rather that be you because I’ve been there. I know how hard it is to lose your dad. I could see clearly what she would have to go through and the moment I realised that I knew what I had to do. I would stop you at all costs and since this reacording is being played I could sleep peacefully knowing she has you.’’ She smiled with tears escaping her eyes once again. Tony was full of emotions. His daughter he has been longing for years was right in front of him but way too far away at the same time.
With a sigh she started ‘’ You have people you can hold on to. I never did. Pepper, Morgan, Rhodey, the spider kid... Hold on to them Tony. Hold on to the team. Oh, speaking of the team, tell them I love them and I missed them so badly. I’m sorry. I thought I was going to have more time to talk And maybe if a miracle happens and we all can manage to stay alive I could tell you all about it but I have to go now. Have an old man to save’’ She saluted and looked around right where the broken team of Avengers were with longing in her eyes. She moved closer to the disk to cut the recording but decided against it the last second. Tony hung his head, his heart broke to hear the hope in her voice when he knew what already happened. He thought this was the end of the recording but he looked up when he heard her talking and she had turned to him and looked right at him as if she knew where he was stated. That sent shivers up Tony’s spine.
‘’I know you think I made the wrong decision but I saved you. I refuse to let you down once again. I refuse to see you die in front of me once again. I’m not sorry for what I’m about to do, I knew the consequences when I made this plan months ago. I’m only sorry because although I tried so much to have the future we always talked about with you, I won’t be able to, Tones. But Morgan will be. And I would give up anything for that little girl. And for you.’’ She said as she caressed the necklace Tony gave her when she was a child. She took the chain out of her neck and put it somewhere Tony couldn’t see. And Tony knew this was only a tape but he tried to hold on to his daughter, to stop her from going out there. His breath caught in his throat when his hands went through Y/N’s body. He fell to his knees.
‘’ But hey if it turns out that I, this badass manage to get both of us home in one peace one we can laugh our asses off as we watch me being the drama queen that I am… Well, no one said Starks weren’t a bit dramatic.’’ The heart Tony thought had broken to a million pieces broke further as he heard the tremble in her voice as she tried to put her brave face on. But she couldn’t hide it when one last tear escaped from her slightly swollen eyes as she ended the recording.
Why do I never have good endings? Cause I write in the middle of the night when I feel sad most of the time and it's easier to write sad than it is to write happy.
I hope you liked it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this one. I'd also like to discuss if you'd like the alternative ending that could be a happy one :)

Hi you’ve asked for this and now you’re gonna get it. I want to come visit my boyfriend B. banner in the lab and tease him so badly he almost loses control and then we fuck lol 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Tumblr media
Lab Tease
Words: 1679
CW: oral (m receiving), piv sex, little fluffy moments, Bruce calls y/n various sweet pet names.
A/N: Happy 30th Birthday to my dear sweet @ladyinwriting18 . I hope you enjoy your Hulk Smut. I love you dearly! (not beta read or proofread, errors are my own - oops)
Bruce had been spending all of his free time in the lab. You missed your boyfriend. He’d come home late at night, when you were already asleep, and leave before you woke up in the morning. He was so close to a breakthrough on his new project, and you wanted to support him, but you missed him.
You were tired of waiting for Bruce, and too wound up from all those nights alone. It was time to take measures into your own hands. You decided you were going to surprise him at work. You got dressed in his favorite summer sundress of yours, wearing your hair the way he liked, and spritzing your pulse points with perfume - a scent that he had once called “intoxicating.” You were giddy with excitement.
On the drive to the University where Bruce worked, you thought back on the past few weeks alone. You’d wake up when Bruce tried to sneak into bed, his weight shifting the mattress. He’d always apologize for waking you, but you didn’t mind. He’d snuggle in, holding you close and peppering your ear, neck, and shoulders with gentle kisses before passing out from exhaustion. Had he ever noticed the lacy lingerie you’d put on in the hopes he’d be home soon enough to tear it off of you? You shook your head, trying to get those sad thoughts out of your head.
You’d been to the lab once or twice before, so you knew how to navigate the hallways until you reached the heavy mahogany door that read “Banner Lab.” The surrounding walls were littered with art and letters from fans and admirers of your boyfriend’s alter-ego, The Hulk. You smiled, so proud of both sides of him. Carefully turning the doorknob, you pushed the door open. “Hello?” You whispered, not wanting to disturb - although that really was your purpose for being there. No one would be able to hear you anyways over the whir of machines and the faint classic rock playlist that came through the overhead speaker system.
Tiptoeing through the lab, you looked down each aisle, seeking out your dark and handsome beau. Eventually you found him, in a dark corner in the back of the room. His face was pressed into a microscope, hands delicately adjusting the dials on either side. You stood and watched for a moment, admiring his focus, the way his forehead furrowed his tanned skin, the grey streaks in his dark hair glistening in the otherwise horrifying fluorescent lighting. You cleared your throat loudly.
Bruce lifted his head from the microscope before grabbing his glasses from his breast pocket and placing them on the bridge of his nose. Looking up at you, he smiled. “Hi, you.” His voice was soft, a sign of how tired he truly was. You skipped towards him, wrapping your arms around his neck and kissing him deeply. You were ravenous, taking Bruce by surprise. “Whoa, whoa, my darling, what’s going on, why are you here?” You played with the hem of your dress, suddenly self conscious and thinking you’d made a mistake. “I wanted to come surprise you, I thought you’d be happy to see me.” You looked down at your feet, pouting. “Oh, y/n, you know I’m delighted to see you! You know how busy I am though. Why don’t you head back home, I’ll see you when I get back. The lab is so boring, I’m sure you’ll get bored so easily hanging around here with me.” You pouted more dramatically now. You weren’t going to give up so easily.
“Come on, baby, I miss you…I need you,” you whined, standing between his knees, hands unbuttoning the top few buttons of his purple dress shirt. His hands gripped your waist, thumbs rubbing the soft places on your belly. “You know I can’t leave, precious girl. There’s nothing in the world I’d want more.” At this point, your hands were spread wide on his bare chest, the thick black hair intertwined between your fingers. You looked up into his eyes, batting your eyelashes and jutting out your bottom lip. “Pwease, Brucey? I’ll have you back here in thirty minutes.” You traced one finger down Bruce’s chest until you could delicately outline your well-endowed boyfriend through his pants. “I promise, Brucey.” He groaned, both out of frustration and arousal. “Fine. My office. Now.”
Bruce grabbed your hand, basically dragging you out of the lab and down the hallway to his private office. The smile on your face was so wide, your cheeks began to hurt. Bruce opened the office door, pulled you inside, and locked the door behind you both. Taking the hand he held so tightly, he pulled you into his chest. Your hands found his face, holding his plush lips close to yours. You moaned his name into his mouth. “It’s been too long, Bruce.” You moved your hands down his chest, reaching his belt, and began to unbuckle it. Peeling your lips from his, you knelt before him, quickening your efforts to free his length. His girthy cock sprung to attention before your eyes, eliciting a moan from both of you.
Taking the base in one hand, the other gripped on his thigh, your freshly manicured nails digging into his flesh. Slowly, teasing him, you placed hot, wet kisses along the length, avoiding his most sensitive areas. Bruce gripped his desk top for dear life, willing his legs to not give out. Seeing him already struggling made you so proud, and so wet yourself. You squeezed your legs together, trying to provide some relief to the ache between your legs. You licked along the underside of his cock, causing Bruce’s hips to buck. “Sh-shit, y/n, I-I need you. N-need your mouth.” That was all the encouragement you needed - you were happy to oblige. Relaxing your jaw, you took as much of him as you could. As you moved along his length you watched your boyfriend, his face turning purple with effort, forehead furrowed. You always kept an eye on the tips of his ears which, when extraordinarily aroused, would turn the faintest shade of green.
Bruce’s groans were getting louder, and more feral. His ab muscles (which by looking at him, you’d never know how ripped he actually was) were tightening. But then, Bruce pushed you off of him, causing you to lose balance and fall to the floor. You looked up at him, wide eyed and confused. Bruce scrambled to help you up. “Are you okay, darling? I’m sorry.” He had you up and standing now, turning you to stand pressed against his desk. “We don’t have much time, and I want to cum inside you.” He gripped your hips tightly and dove into your neck, biting and kissing down to your collar bones as he lifted the skirt of your dress. “Wanna fill you up, precious little one, want you to walk all the way back to the car with me dripping down your perfect thighs.” You moaned at his dirty comments. He wasn’t one for dirty talk, usually so sweet - but your time apart had made him a man obsessed. He needed you as badly as you needed him.
Having lifted your skirt, he saw how wet you had become, your panties entirely soaked through. He growled, ripping them down your legs. With one thick, calloused digit, he felt through your folds. “So ready for me, aren’t you, darling?” You whined, bucking your hips into his finger. “Please, Brucey, please.” Bruce smiled sweetly, caressing your face with his other hand. “Since you asked nicely.” He helped you lay back on the desk, your dress bunched up around your hips. Taking his weeping cock in hand, he aligned himself at your entrance. He’d usually take his time with you, allowing you to adjust to his sheer size. You didn’t need, or want time. “Need all of you, Bruce, please.” You whined again, now he was the one teasing you.
Bruce slowly entered you fully, pausing to enjoy your warmth and the harmony of both of your moans before establishing his pace. You knew he wouldn’t last much longer, given his earlier furocity and the moans and groans he had trouble holding back. You reached between you, drawing a gentle pattern on your sensitive bud, not needing much, as Bruce was hitting you perfectly. Your back was arched, your head lolling backwards.
Bruce cupped your face with one hand, bringing your attention back on him. His other gripped your thigh tight, leaving marks that would inevitably bruise. “Look at me, sweet girl, look at me.” He wiped an arrant tear from your cheek with his thumb. “Are you going to cum with me, my perfect angel?” You nodded, unable to form words, but your eyes stayed trained on his. He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. His perfect smile and his pride in you, his shining gem, was enough to send you over the edge, Bruce following close behind. With a loud, ferocious growl, Bruce filled you fully and completely before collapsing onto your chest.
Chuckling, you ran your fingers through his hair, kissing the top of his head. Holding him securely to your breasts as he descended from his high. “Bruce, I’m so proud of you, but I miss you. I miss us. I don’t like falling asleep without you.” Bruce’s head popped up enough to make eye contact with you. “I’m so sorry, y/n. I didn’t know how much it bothered you. I miss you so much, and think about you all the time. I’m going to make more of an effort, I promise. Especially if it means more time for this.” He nuzzled his face into your chest, eliciting a squeal and giggle from you. “I love you,” he mumbled into your chest. Petting his hair, you replied “I love you, more.”
You walked back to your car, thinking of all the ways you could make up for lost time, as your ruined panties failed to hold back the remnants of a surprise mission accomplished.

MC’s Half Demon and They Look Awfully Familiar Lessons 10-12
Masterlist
Time for a Freaky Friday situation, an Isekai situation, and a fun family trip! And what’s a fun family trip without helping your uncle who is trapped in an attic and trying to raise a cat with your half-brother/uncle/whatever whose in your father’s body? Dear Grandfather God… get MC some help-
Let’s pick up where we left off last time with MC and Belphie >:)
“No need to be nervous, I won’t bite.” Belphie tapped his knuckles against the door he was leaning on to emphasize his point. “And I can’t on account of the magic door.”
“Why…” MC began before straightening their posture and clearing their throat. “What are you doing up here? I was told you were in the human world.”
“As you can see,” Belphie sighed. “I’m not. I’ve been stuck in the attic since before you got here.”
“But why?”
“Lucifer.”
MC narrowed their eyes. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“He locked me up here, rude, right?” Belphie’s carefree tone heavily contrasted how tense his shoulders were as he leaned oh-too casually on the doorframe. “To cut right to the chase, I need your help.”
“My… help..?”
“Yep. I need you to get me out of here.” Upon seeing MC’s scandalized expression, he raised his hands in a placating gesture. “Calm down, I’ll explain.”
Belphie began his explanation. “So, Lucifer and I got into a little brotherly spat that got blown out of proportion, it was really all a misunderstanding. I want to be able to have a civil conversation with Lucifer that isn’t marred by my… prison.”
“Mammon told me that you opposed the exchange program, and that’s why you got sent to the human world.” MC said quietly. Ugh, they almost cursed themselves out then and there for all the muttering they were doing. They weren’t some guilty child!
Belphie had a look on his face that MC had seen on the five other brothers. The look that always preceded one of the brothers calling Mammon a scumbag, a moron, an idiot, or something equally nasty. The look quickly disappeared as Belphie gave MC a halfhearted shrug.
“I was, yes. But I couldn’t care less about that now.” Belphie waved his hand in the air like he was waving off the whole issue. “It was my bad, really. I was being unreasonable, and I got pissed.”
“What exactly do you need me to do to get you out of there?” MC asked, clenching and unclenching their fist to get the tension out.
“I need you to undo the spell holding the door shut. If you were anyone else, I’d be asking you to make pacts with my brothers in order to override Lucifer’s spell and open the door,” Belphie’s eyes flashed again. “But you… you can just use some of your magic, can’t you? I assume Lucifer passed some of his power down to you?”
MC stiffened and took a step back from the door. “How did you-”
“MC, I’ve lived with Lucifer for over five thousand years, I know his magical signature as well as I know my own, and yours is too damn close to his to be a wild coincidence. And,” Belphie gestured at MC. “You look and act like a mini him. It’s cute, honestly.”
MC frowned, cute?! MC wasn’t cute! But that was a… decent explanation..?
“So,” Belphie took a step back from the door. “Put your hand on the door, and try to open it. You might feel some magical resistance but if your magic is similar enough to Lucifer’s you might be able to open it without any difficulty at all.”
MC reached out, then hesitated. “How do I know you aren’t lying to me?”
“MC, you’re my brother’s kid. I don’t want this dumb fight between me and Lucifer to break my family apart. Besides, it’ll be nice to have you as a part of the family too. I don’t want to sully that by being stuck up here.”
Part of the family? MC’s eyes practically sparkled. A real part of their new family… they looked up at Belphegor and nodded.
“Okay, here I go…” MC tentatively placed their hand on the door.
It began to burn at an intensity that nearly made MC scream and collapse on the spot. Their hand was glued to the door as the door’s spell seemed to crawl its way up their arm. MC countered with the biggest burst of their own magic they could possibly muster.
The blast of bright blue that slammed into the door made it creak back and forth slightly, but the spell held its ground.
MC snatched their hand back and stared expectantly at the door. They swayed on their feet slightly as they looked up at Belphegor, who tapped the door. When blue sparks met his hand, he frowned.
“It didn’t… it didn’t work… I’m…” MC paused before they apologized, they didn’t have to. They tried their best, didn’t they? They just needed to get a better hold of their magic. “I’ll get stronger, I’ll get better at magic and then I’ll come back and open the door.”
Belphie sighed in relief and smiled at MC. “Thank you, MC. You’re really helping me out here, you’re sweet.” Belphie then crouched ever so slightly to get to MC’s level, and smirked conspiratorially. “You know, all powerful demons need snacks to recharge their magic, right? Mammon has a massive stash of candy that he thinks is secret hidden in one of the potted plants in the planetarium. You didn’t hear this from me though.”
They gave Belphegor a small smile. “I’ll get you out soon, okay?”
“I trust that you will.”
———
Disgusting.
That was the one thought that permeated through Belphegor’s mind when he first saw MC.
The thought remained throughout the entire first encounter, and the feeling of roiling nausea only grew when MC’s attempt to break Lucifer’s spell failed spectacularly. Belphie tried as best as he could to follow MC’s retreating form down the attic hallway, but his vision was limited.
A half demon. Truly Lucifer had fallen from whatever grace he still had left from a time where his youngest brother actually respected him.
A half human child. Did Lucifer truly have no self respect? A proud high ranking demon, the second strongest in the entire Devildom, in fact, had a half human child.
How monumentally stupid.
Belphegor was no stranger to half-demons, he had been alive far too long to have never come across one. A few hundred years ago they were much more common, running around the human world wreaking havoc and scurrying around the Devildom like scared mice. The duality always made Belphie smile. They may have been beings of pure terror in the human world, but their demon half could never compare to real demons in the Devildom.
Asmodeus held the unofficial record for most half demon children, obviously. As much as Belphegor absolutely detested humans, he couldn’t exactly fault his older brother. Asmo was the Avatar of Lust after all, and the Avatar of Sloth of all people couldn’t judge him for indulging in his sin every once and a while.
Hell, even Satan and Mammon occasionally had children pop up in the human world. The difference, the thing that made all the difference was that they never brought their… spawn home. They never brought their half-human little monsters into his home.
What gave Lucifer the right to do so? The right to bring that into Belphegor’s home? One of the beings responsible for the death of their sister. His sister. Did he not care about that at all?!
Belphegor collapsed onto the bed in the attic, ruffling his hair and shutting his eyes.
The brat couldn’t even break the door.
The thought almost caused Belphegor to laugh. The little brat couldn’t even break the door.
He cracked up, muffling his laughter with his hand. The child was Lucifer’s and they couldn’t even fully break the door. My my, how the mighty have fallen. It had taken over three months for Belphegor to even get close to being able to get into that little brat’s head to call them up to him, and they couldn’t even break the door?
Belphie’s borderline hysterical laughter at the sheer absurdity of the situation stopped abruptly as he looked around the room. Something-
Someone was glaring at him.
His eyes instinctively darted to the door, the most logical conclusion was that the brat had snitched and Lucifer was at the door. But the hallway was empty. The feeling of being watched made him shudder, then stiffen. He tilted his head and sat in silence. No sound, just the familiar smell of…
The Celestial Realm.
Belphie dragged a hand down his face and growled, lying back down and clamping his eyes shut. He needed to sleep.
So, that was the first problem MC had to face that month, the second was the fact that Satan snuck a cat into the house and he and MC were co-parenting it in secret. The third problem was Satan was still acting like a massive dickwad. All this fighting wasn’t good for baby Detective Toe Beans!
After receiving the “Lucifer got so mad he gave birth” talk from the other brothers, MC could have had their own rage-baby then and there.
I have never regretted typing a sentence more, but anyway, MC was on a warpath to find Satan.
‘Calm down,’ MC thought to themselves as they walked down the hallway of the HOL. ‘Don’t overreact, maybe this is all some big misunderstanding.’
The demon they were hoping to find was walking down the hallway in the opposite direction. Satan gave MC a half nod and barely acknowledged them.
“Hi Satan!” MC chirped, trying to sound as friendly as possible. “What are you up to?”
“Nothing you need to concern yourself with.”
After being so coldly snubbed, MC stood in the hallway completely motionless, until of course the little voice crawled its way up their spine and nestled in the base of their skull.
‘Who does he think he is?’
MC squared their shoulders and started after Satan, resolute in their totally non-suicidal goal of chastising him for his behaviour.
“Satan!” MC threw his door open and crossed their arms, the room was a complete mess of books and loose papers as usual, the Avatar of Wrath himself was sitting on his bed with his nose in a book. “We need to talk.”
“Do we now?” Satan drawled, not looking up from his book. That stupid encyclopedia must’ve been the most interesting thing in the god damn universe for Satan not to look up and see MC seething with a kind of pure rage only preteens we’re capable of. “Walking into people’s rooms without knocking is rude, you know. Let’s talk about that.”
“Honestly can you not be a smartass for a few seconds and just fucking look at me?!”
The sudden cursing got Satan to raise an eyebrow and look up. “What do you want, MC?”
“I want to know what the hell your problem with me is.” MC said, attempting to keep their voice as level and calm as possible. “I’ve been nothing but nice to you since I got here, and you’ve been nothing but a massive jerk!”
“Did you ever stop to think that I just don’t like you?”
“For what reason? What did I do?!”
“You look exactly like him!” Satan finally snapped. “Another Lucifer prancing around the house like they run the place!”
“So to you I’m just another Lucifer..?” MC asked, then let out a humourless laugh. “Are you… are you fucking kidding me right now? You’re pegging me as another Lucifer? You?”
Satan bristled, his eyes began to flash green, MC’s own eyes had begun to show a slight blue tint. “What are you implying?”
“I’m ‘implying’ that you, Satan, the one who was born of Lucifer’s wrath, calling me a copy of Lucifer is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever had the misfortune of hearing.” MC snarled, almost every fibre of their mind was screaming to transform and teach Satan a lesson, but they held back. “You hate Lucifer, anyone with two brain cells can see that, but you don’t see how stupid you’re being?!”
In an instant Satan yanked MC up by the front of their shirt and let out a low growl. “Do you want to repeat that, half-breed?”
“You’re being an idiot.” MC’s bratty, teasing tone couldn’t fully hide the boiling anger that was just beneath the surface. “You think you have the right to demand that people see you as different from Lucifer, yet you don’t grant me the same courtesy.”
With that, Satan’s demon form was out and less than a second later so was MC’s. The half-demon’s foot shot out and hit Satan right in the knee, the Avatar of Wrath staggered backwards slightly which allowed MC to back away until they felt their back hit a pile of books.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, daring the other to make a move, when the door to Satan’s room slammed open. There stood enemy number one, Lucifer.
“What the hell are both of you doing?” Lucifer hissed, his eyes flicking between Satan and MC.
“STAY OUT OF THIS!”
With Satan and MC’s combined shout, books began to shoot off the shelves and off the tops of piles. The books whizzed around the room, crashing into things and making the room even more of a mess.
“Both of you calm down!” Lucifer growled, both Satan and MC turned to shout at him again.
“JUST SHUT UP!”
Quick as lightning, a book shot towards MC, time seemed to slow as the spine of the book brushed past their nose as they stumbled out of its way. MC was out of the book’s path, but now it was speeding directly towards Lucifer.
Satan, most likely desiring to protect his book from Lucifer-germs, dove forward to grab the book while Lucifer prepared to catch it with an outstretched hand. The moment the two touched the book a blinding flash of light engulfed the entire room, leaving everything completely still.
Huh, well that happened. Argument paused, gather everyone.
Satan and Lucifer switched bodies… coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool-
Wait why are they staying in MC’s room?!
Lucifer (in Satan’s body) pulled the “you live under my roof you follow my rules” card, and MC got to work ordering a tent on Akuzon. Their tent, their rules.
“Satan! We have a bit of a problem with you agreeing to stay in my room with Lucifer!” “And what’s that problem, MC?” “Uh, I don’t know, THE DETECTIVE.”
Satan completely forgot that they were hiding a cat from Lucifer. Whoops!
When Lucifer stomped out of MC’s room later that day holding the cat the two knew they were screwed.
MC and Satan had to compromise their dignity and beg Lucifer to not take away their poor kitty. Lucifer just grumbled that he’d deal with this when he got back into his own body.
Body switching shenanigans were abound, Mammon and Satan were working together to make Lucifer look as ridiculous as possible without breaking any of the ground rules everyone laid out.
This all culminated in getting Mammon hung from the ceiling.
That night, MC tried to ignore Satan and Lucifer’s sleep talking, but it was a fruitless endeavour.
The only good part of that arrangement was the fact that Bean refused to snuggle up to Satan while he was in Lucifer’s body, and Lucifer didn’t want the cat near him while in Satan’s body, so MC got all the snuggle time with their favourite kitty.
While Bean’s intense purring was adorable, it wasn’t loud enough to drown out Lucifer and Satan’s rampant sleep talking.
“Fuck you Lucifer…” Satan in Lucifer’s body mumbled. “Gonna fuckin rip your head off…”
“Diavolo you can’t just get me another dog…” Lucifer in Satan’s body grumbled before letting out a snore.
MC rolled their eyes and looked at their cat. “Can you believe this shit, Bean?” They whispered.
Bean responded by pawing at MC’s face. What a big baby with such cute widdle eyes omigoodness what a baby baby-
Having enough of that tomfoolery, MC gently placed Bean down on their bed, and tiptoed out. They ended up doubling back to their room and grabbing one of their books.
Sneaking up to the attic a second time was much easier than the first attempt. It had been a week since their first encounter with Belphie and MC thought that he might want an update.
“So yeah… that’s what’s happening right now.”
Belphie appeared to be suppressing a laugh as he nodded and cleared his throat. “Mm… that’s… very unfortunate.”
“It’s not that funny.”
MC and Belphie stared at each other for a few seconds, before both of them broke out into a fit of giggles.
“Okay,” MC relented. “It’s kind of funny…”
“So, any updates on the plan?” Belphie asked, MC responded with a noncommittal shrug.
“Well, almost everyone has welcomed me in with pretty open arms, so I don’t think they’d question it if I asked them to come up here and get you out.”
“Almost everyone?” Belphie tilted his head as he leaned on the wall next to the door.
“Yeah… um…” MC quickly looked away and pursed their lips. “Satan… you know?”
“Ah,” Belphie’s usual lazy smile reappeared. “Satan’s going to be a tough one to win over. You know why, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Lucifer told you?”
“No actually,” MC mumbled. “Mammon, Beel, Levi, and Asmo did.”
Belphie’s eyes flashed for a brief moment, like MC had just offered him a present, but it was so quick MC barely took notice.
“I’m guessing he must be keeping a lot of stuff from you, huh?”
MC crossed their arms and shrugged. “Kinda… I guess. He kept you being in the attic a secret, he’s keeping the reason the Grimoire is in the Underground Tomb a secret…” MC frowned as all the strange little secrets began to come to light. Their father’s practically fanatical loyalty to Diavolo, the reason for the Celestial War, the reason no one talked about Lilith…
“Hm,” Belphie sighed. “It sucks that Lucifer doesn’t really tell you anything.”
“Mhm…” MC looked down at their feet, until they remembered the other reason they went up to visit the attic. “Oh! I brought you something!”
They held out the book to Belphie, carefully sliding it between the gaps in the door. “It’s a manga Levi recommended to me, I read it and it’s awesome! I thought you might be bored up here, so I brought it up for you to read.”
When Belphie took the book he stared at it like it was a completely foreign object, then his features melted into a smile. “Thank you, MC.”
“Right!” MC smiled proudly. “I’ll work on my magic, and on my relationship with Satan, then I’ll bust you out of here!”
Belphie chuckled and gave a thumbs up. “Good luck, kiddo. I believe in you.”
The seeds of discord were planted and the local attic cowboy was being one hell of a gardener. I need to stop typing take my phone away from me.
When MC left the attic, the first thing they heard was Mammon crying in the stairwell. It seemed that even the HOL’s ghosts were annoyed with all his whining.
“MC… help meeeeee…” “You’re hanging there for a reason, Mammon. I’m not going to disturb your punishment.” “MCCCCCCCCC!”
Don’t worry, MC did some sick maneuvers and cut Mammon down! Hooray!
“You now owe me a life debt.” “Wait what-” “We’re fixing my and Lucifer’s relationship with Satan.” “…kid if you smoked the weed in my room just tell me, I won’t be mad.”
No dear uncle Mammon, MC was not high on the devil’s lettuce, they were high on the power of family!
Time to fire up Doji Magi!
Obviously MC wasn’t the protagonist, everyone was trying to woo this random generic anime character (tm)
It wasn’t going good for anyone other than Levi. MC wasn’t even allowed to properly participate because Lucifer didn’t approve of his child getting involved in this degenerate anime stuff.
Too late Luci-goosey, your kid was a weeb long before they came to the Devildom
Of course, come graduation day, things got much more fun.
“THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!” MC screamed with delight as they swung a folding chair at an oncoming monster.
Mammon was having decidedly less fun as he dealt with his share of the monsters that had suddenly spawned into the game. “MC what the hell are ya talkin’ about?! This is crazy!”
“Can both of you shut up?” Lucifer said as he calmly snapped a monster’s neck. “Get to the roof, all of you.”
“This was very well foreshadowed I’m very impressed.” Satan said, Levi nodded enthusiastically.
“I know! All those hidden lore bits were so fun to find.”
“Wait, lore?” Mammon asked, he turned to MC. “What’d we miss while we were in fake detention?”
As the group continued to make their way up the steps to the roof, downing monsters left and right, MC turned to Satan and laughed. “You’re absolutely drenched right now.”
Satan smirked and flicked some of the monster goop onto MC. “You don’t look any better.”
“Ew!” MC stuck out their tongue and leaned to the left, looking behind Satan. “There’s a monster behind you by the way.”
“Ah,” Satan turned and punched the monster so hard in the forehead that its skull caved in. “Thank you, MC.”
The rooftop was filled with significantly less monsters than the rest of the school, and it uh… oh… hm… gamer instincts were tingling.
“Hey, this is a lot of negative space…” Levi picked a medpack up off the floor. “And an odd collection of healing items…”
“Where’d all the enemies go..?” Mammon asked tentatively.
“Better question,” MC piped up. “Where’s the music?”
Right after those words left MC’s lips, the door to the rooftop burst open, revealing a very familiar three headed doggo that MC and Lucifer so adored. It was Cerberus! Who looked positively murderous!
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” Mammon shrieked and hid behind Levi.
“Oh… that’s what all the dog imagery meant.” Satan said. “I thought it was odd that all the books in this school’s library had something to do with dogs.”
“Yeah! Aw, it all makes sense now!” Levi exclaimed.
“Cerberus,” Lucifer stepped forward and crossed his arms. “Sit.”
Cerberus, did not in fact, sit. He instead growled like a monster truck, and the acidic looking drool that was falling from his gaping jaws was an indicator that the giant pupper was quite hungry.
“Uh… bad dog?” MC offered. With that, Cerberus charged forward.
Mammon, Levi, and MC dodged to the left while Lucifer and Satan dove to the right.
“Shit! How are we supposed to fight Cerberus!?” Levi squeaked.
“Maybe we can- SATAN WATCH OUT!”
Cerberus had decided to ignore Lucifer and rush straight towards the fourth born, whose weapon of choice had just decided to break, and MC had a sneaking suspicion that Satan wouldn’t be able to punch all three of Cerberus’ heads at once.
“CERBERUS!” Lucifer shouted, causing everyone to freeze in place. “YOU LAY A HAND ON MY BROTHER AND I WILL [Hello, this is the narrator, Lucifer has asked that I censor what he said because he doesn’t want this to end up reflecting badly on Diavolo].”
It was thirty seconds into the very vulgar threat before Levi thought it would be a good idea to cover MC’s ears. Game-Cerberus whimpered and sat down, much to the utter amazement of everyone.
“Wow, I can curse in Latin now!” MC chirped.
“MC, you will forget what you heard.” Lucifer sighed.
“Of course, father!” MC said sweetly, they then leaned over to Levi. “Noooooot.”
Yay, the fam’s out of the game! L!MC and Satan both agreed that Cerberus would never in a thousand years listen to either of them and they should just depend on Lucifer to deal with their homicidal pupper.
Good news, in the days after the game, glasses related thefts went down 100%! Also, pranks relating to Lucifer’s coffee being turned into vinegar went down 83%!
Satan was chilling out :D… but Lucifer still had a speech to give and he was not about to trust the guy who filled the house with cats once.
It was time for a visit to the human world to go find a witch!
“Come on! I wanna see the horsies!” Mammon whined, hanging off of Lucifer in Satan’s body like a petulant little kid. The actual kid rolled their eyes and snorted.
“Let’s be honest with ourselves, Mammon.” Lucifer said. “You want to see the horses so you can find the one you’re going to bet all our money on.”
“Of course I wanna see the horse I’m gonna bet on!So can we gooooooo?!”
Satan in Lucifer’s body finished off the last of his gelato and scoffed. “No, we’re not going to bet the house on the ponies, Mammon. We’re going to spend it on-”
The high pitched shriek that left MC caused everyone to whirl in their direction as the half demon jumped up and down and frantically pointed at a sign. They were clearly trying to sputter out some kind of explanation of what had them so excited, but no one could understand a word.
“MC, calm down-”
“It’s the musical!”
“What-”
“I’ve watched so many analysis videos on this! Father! Father! The music in this is supposed to be insane! I wanna see! I wanna see! You gotta let me see!” Every single word was punctuated by MC jumping up and down to the point that Lucifer was actually concerned their wings might pop out and they’d take flight.
Right in the middle of one of their jumps, Satan caught them and held them up in front of Lucifer. “Oh dearest brother of mine, your poor spawn wants to see the show- hang on it’s this one?” Satan did a double take at the sign for the show. “Now I actually want to see this.”
Lucifer finally shoved Mammon off of him and got a good look at the sign, at least two out of the three people he was travelling with had taste. “Yes, we can watch the show.”
“Yay!” MC clapped their hands, then noticed their feet weren’t touching the floor and turned to look at Satan. “Uh, Satan, you know you can put me down, right?”
“No, I don’t think I’m going to do that,” Satan said as the group began their walk towards the theatre. “It’s fun having you up as a half-human meat shield.”
“Hey!”
A distinct interest of MC’s had been discovered by the rest of the group that day when they started rambling and explaining the intricacies of musical theatre and opera to a very confused Mammon. Lucifer and Satan exchanged amused glances as MC continued to rapidly explain increasingly more confusing parts of music.
“So that’s the main difference between recitative and an aria,”
“Uh huh…”
“So technically Hugh Jackman is wrong in his explanation that Val Jean’s soliloquy in the movie adaptation of Les Miserables is recitative because it’s more of an aria because Val Jean is basically screaming about his emotions.”
“Hugh Jackman? Wolverine?”
“Yeah, Wolverine. Anyway back to leitmotifs-”
MC’s animated explanation continued all the way until the four were sat down in their seats and the show began. Mammon, of course, started fully weeping whenever anything sad happened. It was intermission when Lucifer and Satan finally had enough of it.
“Mammon…” Satan rubbed his temples and glared at the sobbing second born. “I swear, if you don’t stop crying, I’m going to strangle you…”
“Do it like the Phantom of the Opera.” MC offered.
“What?” Satan asked.
“Lasso noose.”
Mammon loudly blew his nose and shoved popcorn a handful of popcorn into his mouth. “Musical theatre is so fuckin’ weird…”
MC 🤝(being a musical theatre nerd) 🤝 Lucifer
So after the play, they hopped on the train and MC and Mammon stuck their heads out the window to baa at some nearby sheep. The sheep responded, Mammon and MC can speak sheep confirmed.
Of course, Mammon went off and got involved in the murder of the very witch they were trying to find.
“Only one version of events is ever true!” Satan proclaimed to the three unfortunate bastards that were also involved with the crime.
Lucifer looked from the dead body that was covered in a tablecloth, to MC. He made an awkward attempt to cover their eyes, but even he seemed confused by the action.
“Father, it’s fine.” MC lightly moved their father’s hand away and pulled something out of their brand new bag. “Satan, here!”
MC held up a Sherlock Holmes cap. “It’ll make you look more like a detective.”
“Thank you, MC.” Satan put the cap on and turned back to the crime scene in front of him. “I’m going to solve the shit out of this.”
Hearing those words come out of Lucifer’s mouth even knowing that it was Satan saying them made Mammon forget he was being accused of murder and laugh like a maniac. This did not help MC and Satan’s “Mammon’s not crazy” case.
MC and Levi had spent a week playing Danganronpa nonstop, MC was ready for this!
After clearing Mammon’s name, the ghost of the witch showed up and told the gang to solve her murder and she’d undo the body switch curse.
“The killer is, YOU!” MC and Satan pointed at the culprit with flourish.
“You have no proof!”
“I’m afraid we do in fact have proof.” Satan smirked triumphantly. “The other two suspects were too far away or standing up,”
“And the knife entered the body at a downward angle,” MC continued. “The only person close enough to stab the victim like that is you.”
“So suspect number 3,” The two said together. “You’re the dumbass who did it!”
“Did they rehearse this?” Mammon leaned over to ask Lucifer.
“No idea.”
Yay! Murder solved! Time for the life lesson!
“If only I had trusted him to be my apprentice…” “oh wow what a convenient life lesson, right father? Right Satan? Trust?”
“…” “…”
Satan and Lucifer got poofed back to normal and everyone got to go home. Lucifer, like in canon, lets Satan give the speech because he learned that he needs to trust his brother more and have a little bit of faith.
The speech is a success, and life returns to normal, but better. Satan and MC build up their relationship and after a few weeks, it was like the stuff from the beginning of the year never happened.
The attic was Belphegor’s favourite nap spot, though at the moment, Belphie didn’t want to sleep in the attic. He had been stuck up there for the past four months, and the only form of social interaction he had was sporadic chats with Lucifer or the half-human.
He must have been going completely mental up there because he was actually wishing he was talking to the kid, at least the brat was nice to him…
“Belphie!”
The cheery voice of the little “angel” echoed down the hall, Belphie found himself smiling at the sound, at least before he realized what he was doing. MC appeared at the door, practically bouncing on their toes.
“Belphie Belphie Belphie!” MC waved their DDD in the air.
“MC MC MC.” Belphie repeated. He leaned against the wall next to the door and yawned. “Nice to see you again, any updates?”
MC flicked through their DDD and gave Belphie a thumbs up. “I’ve been practicing my magic and stuff, but that’s not what I’m up here for.” They held up their DDD to show Belphie a picture.
“Beel’s team won their game-thing!”
The picture showed Beel in his team uniform eating an entire pie with a medal around his neck, the rest of the brothers and MC were posed for the picture around him. “I have no clue how this sport is supposed to work or what the rules are, but apparently he won, so that’s good!”
Any traces of Belphie’s half decent mood vanished as he looked at the picture. Everyone seemed… really happy. Levi, Asmo, Satan, Mammon, Beel, all of them, looked happy. Happy without him…
“That’s… great, MC.”
—————
Belphegor truly didn’t think he’d pity the human he vowed to kill. MC was literally a mixture of everything he hated, humans, Lucifer, Diavolo’s stupid exchange program… but yet, Belphegor felt pity.
The way MC lit up when they talked about the fun things they had done with the brothers and the other exchange students, how they went up to the attic to keep him company when they had a spare bit of time… they did all of that without knowing that Belphegor despised them. It was honestly pitiful.
Though, the Avatar of Sloth’s feeling of detest had somehow lessened. The little half demon had managed to get their hooks in him. Unfortunately for them, it only made Belphegor’s blood boil more. His brothers adored that little brat, it was plain to see. The half human had won them all over, like half of MC’s ancestry wasn’t responsible for the death of their little sister.
Belphegor narrowed his eyes as he lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling. He had been stuck up there long enough to have counted every knot in the wood, every nail and plank, and every spider that managed to crawl through the cracks. The familiar feeling of guilt began to twist in his stomach. His sister died because Beel chose to save him. He should have been more careful… he shouldn’t have taken her to the human world…
‘It’s their fault.’ Belphie tried to push any and all thoughts other than that out of his head. ‘That human killed her. If they had never met she wouldn’t have died.’
Repeating that over and over did not expel the roiling feeling of guilt that crawled its way up Belphie’s spine and constricted his ribs.
“I hate you…” Belphie growled. MC was the reason for all this, weren’t they? They were the reason he wasn’t with his family, they were the reason they could be happy without him, yet even repeating his declaration of hatred like a mantra didn’t make the guilt go away. “I hate you. I hate you. I hate you!”
A sudden sharp yank on Belphie’s ear made him lurch upwards and look around the room. Nothing.
It was a childish gesture, wasn’t it? A sharp pull to his ear, a habit he knew all too well belonged to…
It belonged to…
Belphegor needed to sleep.

Xiaobedo Fanfic Recommendation
Welcome to my personal “if you are new to xiaobedo peeps please read these” list. As said before this is my personal list so please feel free to reblog/comment/hit me for not including any gem here. I might miss a lot of them because I am drunk or blind. (mostly have them on my to read and then forgot as I am being assault by real life shit).
I would like to say first that so far there are 150+ Xiaobedo fics on Ao3. I can’t review all of them but I can say that I have read a majority of them. Most of them are just pure love and I would like nothing more than a thousands thank you for all the fic writers who spent their free time writting these gems for us to read for free. But these...these takes the cake as it finds a special landing spot in my heart that I would just thrust them into someone’s hand if they say “I am new to this ship can you recommend me?”
1. Orange dust by bobamilkteas (Wes)
In which Xiao learns to open himself up to the world a little more after the collapse of Rex lapis's contracts but it was not always easy for a soul doomed to eternal damnation. Meanwhile, Albedo liked to tempt fate where the extraordinary are concerned.
If only the traveler's comrades are made of saner bunch.
Comment: Long ago when I like both Albedo and Xiao as a character, I was wondering hmmm....will anyone actually even write about them lmao they never met each other. I am surprise to see this one as the 3rd fic in the whole 3 Xiaobedo fic on Ao3 (yeah back when there’s literally only 3 fic for this couple). I was like I’ll read it for the curiosity, I’ll probably won’t ship them. And that people is how I put my clown make up on my face upon finishing reading it. This ONE fic alone convert me into a devotee of Xiaobedo. Please consider joining me in this circus if you want to know what is Xiaobedo. I would put this as the first of my “Big 3″
Orange Dust also come with its compliation of short stories over the course of the game and a big sequel to it. Please also consider reading ALL OF THEM.
2. Solar Wind by birdpriestess (Sparrow)
For the yaksha, his duty was his life, and his life was his duty. No human could ever hope to understand the eternal war he fought out of sight and in silence.
So why, then, did he feel that Albedo would understand?
---
Finding himself at death's door once more, Xiao is saved by a surprising person, setting off the unlikeliest of adventures.
Comment: Do you like crying? Do you like the feeling of getting your heart ripped into pieces as the author destroy your emotions over the end of each chapter as the story picked up the climax? Yeah, this one is for you masochists. The action, the characterisation, the drama THE EMOTIONS OH WOW. I kid you not that it was so good I read this while workinng when I am not suppose to me. Also, this fic has my favourite characterisation of Gold ever. I love that dramatic queen Mad Alchemist. AND DAIN. I LOVE DAIN IN THIS FIC. Our dearest Sparrow manage to toy with our feelings like how I bully ruin guard for big numbers lmao. This is the secound of “Big 3″ of my Xiaobedo list.
Again, just like Orange Dust, Solar Wind comes with its own compliation of short stories of what came after that. Please also consider reading ALL OF THEM.
3. Castle of Glass by AlchemicalStardust (Morgie) 
A black shadow rises over Huaguang Stone Forest. Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, Albedo flees the shaking ground and the crash of boulders tumbling form the sky. As the dust settles, Albedo finds a young man – an Adeptus – amidst the carnage. Despite the karmic agony ripping his body from the inside, Xiao’s only question is “How?” How did a human survive after witnessing his battle?
Comment: The last of the “Big 3″ of my Xiaobedo list. And it is still on going! Castle of Glass? More like I AM IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTIONS! Have you read a fic about 2 people yearning, longing, reaching out for each other so damn well that you just want to throw your phone in the air as they both had their impending doom coming down upon them? Yeah this is one of them. You will like want to be stuck in the moment they express how much they just yearn for each other’s love and care that you want to shake the author for what comes next. Like...everytime Morgie update I am expressing my gratitude at the end of the chapter by writing on Xiaobedo discord “MORGIE COME HERE AND LET ME BONK YOU WHY ARE YOU ENDING IT THERE”
trust me when you read you will def feel the same. With just Big 3 and their compliation alone that would give you like a LONG list of reading already LMAOOOOOOO
4. Find a place to call it home  by yamajiroo 
Our room, he said. Xiao’s brow twitches. Zhongli never said anything about this. But then again, perhaps he should anticipate this from the beginning...
Xiao looks over at Albedo, who is now tilting his head, his look as innocent as ever.
“Are you not okay with sharing a room?”
Comment: College AU for Xiaobedo! One thing that I love this is the slow burn and what made me LOVE LOVE LOVE this fic more is how cute Klee is in this fic. Their relationship in this one is very simple, but that simplicity highlight why their chemistry work. Xiao is someone who was just very gentle, who was largely misunderstood by his lonesome nature. Albedo was someone who like peace and quite in his introvert bubble. And how they respect that bubble that each other has actually made their relationship work. I love it when fic highlight this and this one captures it.
5. I Can't See Your Face From the Other Side of the Classroom by MissWeaver  
When Albedo and Xiao unexpectedly start eating lunch together, they begin to find that they have more in common than anyone would have realized. They both struggle in their own ways with blossoming feelings, too many assignments, and annoying classmates as they navigate a relationship for the first time.
Comment: I’ll be honest, I usually hate high school au just because its so cliche. I don’t even watch and drama/anime surrounds high school student anymore LMAOOO (unless it’s very good). So if there’s an high school AU that I actually keep come back and read after a couple of chapters, it means that the cliche that I hate wasn’t there or barely was there at all. The pinning in this fic makes me want to bang their head together sometimes LMAOOO The tag wasn’t kidding when they said both Xiao and Albedo are bad at feelings. Also that’s a lot of heart broken caused by these two idiots XD
6. new world, same me, same bullshit  by  bobamilkteas (Wes)
At the belly of Dragonspine, Albedo lost control to the festering corruption that permeated his senses and watched, from the recesses of his mind, as his devoured body turned his allies into enemies. Before his rampage reached its climax, he is sealed in a crystalized confinement by the last hand of Reindottir, where he then reawakens centuries after, in a rebooted Teyvat.
Comment: Yeah I know it was list in Orange Dust but here me out. This sets out in an entirely different universe. And if you like Polyamory, this one has Zhongli joining the duo and I love it because I also love ZhongXiao with my life. Time Travel is my biggest kink. Especially when I am the person who love it when people explore Archon War era/ Alatus!Xiao. So this one hits double of my kink. Of course it is still on going and I will bully Wes whenever I can to see that new chapter. Albedo is a total fucking badass in this story and I completely agree from using him in Abyss so often. Everyone should write badass Albedo.
7. misplaced heart of mine by  inkburn           
“If you are ill, then you should be resting at home. In Mondstadt.” He emphasized Mondstadt with a pointed look in his direction.
“I assure you I won’t be troublesome, Adeptus Xiao,” Albedo said, “You’ll find I’m a rather low-maintenance traveler.”
“Travel,” Xiao scoffed, “without airstep?”
Albedo looked him up and down. “Are your legs just for decoration?”
(albedo is sent to liyue on mandatory vacation. xiao is his unfortunate bodyguard.)
Comment: Most of the time you will see Albedo and Xiao starting their relationship with one of them taking interest in another. But this one took another approach, they starting off by make them hating each other’s guts LMAOOOO and I live for every second of it. There’s only 1 chapter so far but wow it was SOOO GOOD. I am really really excited for next chapter and is waiting patiently ;w;
8.  Blossom of Grace  by birdpriestess  
One day in Liyue Harbor, Albedo watches a street performance by an enigmatic dancer named Xiao. And he becomes completely obsessed.
Comment: Have you ever look at Xiao fight and thinking that he’s one of the most beautiful deadly thing ever? How it was like he was dancing around the battlefield? How about actual dancer Xiao being so absolutely beautiful and perfect and that slow burn of Albedo falling in love with that beauty with a touch of Modern AU and cute Ganyu as the Wing woman. Yes, Sparrow delivers yet again another beautiful slow burn and while it’s still ongoing it is worth the read.
9. i think we could make this work (could get used to this) by outspaced               
“Xiao? What are you doing out here?”
“I—”
“It’s raining,” Albedo says, as if it isn’t obvious. “You could get struck by lightning.”
“What are you doing out here then?” Xiao does the only thing he knows how to do, he challenges Albedo. “It’s raining.”
Albedo just hums. “If I get struck by lightning, it’s for science.”
Comment: A short one-shot where I read the summary and went “This is it... this is their relationship.” I am sold immediately. Oh god Albedo why are you like this.
10. Ephemeral by criedprinz        
“It’s not for your investigation, is it?” Aether asked mildly.
Albedo traced a finger around the sketchbook, considering the question. “No,” he admitted finally. “I... I just want to see them again.”
He opened the sketchbook to reveal the drawing he’d just finished. Aether nodded, clearly recognizing the sharp golden eyes.
“Xiao,” he said. “You were rescued by an adeptus.”
When a visit to Dragonspine goes horribly wrong, Albedo is rescued by an unknown stranger, wielding powers he's never heard of. Led on a search to find out who it is, he finds himself in the middle of an unforgettable encounter..
Comment: A really really well written one-shot that I love. The yearning oh godddd the yearning from Albedo side is just so so much that I have to put it here. (I think you can see the trend here lmao. I am a sucker for yearning). And the moment they get to meet each other again is just chef kiss. MWHAA
11. Idle Yaksha, Brilliant Yaksha by Pit0fTheEarth
Alatus didn’t have a lot of responsibilities to keep. He spent most of his days dancing across the sky and eating away all nightmares that plagued a person’s sleep.
But one fortunate encounter led to too many unfortunate ones, taking his carefree existence and plunging it in darkness. His wings, stripped from him. His gentle touch, replaced by an unforgiving grip of destruction.
There was a lot of blood on his hands. With each passing moment, it became harder for Alatus to recall the last time someone gently held him.
Comment: This is one of the ongoing fic where I am very very much excited on the take of Naberius. And the way the author portray Xiao when he’s still the innocent Alatus is just *clench fist*. Baby ;w; Baby why do you have to lose all that innocence. Also the fic has long LONG flashback to Xiao past and his relationship with Naberius. We are unwielding more what happened to both of them and why perhaps does this have to do with Albedo.
That’s it for now, might add more later! Thank you <3
