Anonymous said: did the new episode disappoint you? why do you miss the old days?
I've never answered an ask on mobile before so hopefully this doesn't look terrible or break everything. But figured I would try while I'm on my lunch break.
First though, I am happy for people who enjoyed it. So no hate to anyone who did! But for me personally, yeah, it did disappoint me. I was already very skeptical of it because I naturally am when an anime gets ahead of the source material, hence I'm waiting to really share any thoughts till the Manga to see if itll be the same or diverge.
I'm mainly disappointed but not surprised by the lack of consequences. No one really seems to die except for those from the past and one here or there as we see. Obviously I seriously doubted that Dazai would die, as did most of the fandom as far as I've seen. But that's the thing. It was supposed to be dramatic and shocking but it really wasn't. Especially for manga readers who thought Nikolai was gone forever and then nope he's fine. Anime only viewers ever got that long period. It's just that time after time, there's never any REAL consequences. These life and death situations are presented but they basically never REALLY are. Which to be fair, I suppose was very heavily obvious given Naomi surviving all the way back in like the second or third episode. But it makes me just go "eh okay" to what SHOULD be a big deal because...it never is. Not with the main cast but even a lot of the side characters too. And I know we have the Fyodor bit but I have Doubts on that. Outside of maybe legitimately losing an arm. Maybe.
And Chuuya knowing everything and faking it, everything loses so much value to it and cheapens a lot of moments. Now it wasn't really a trial or anything of the sort. The speeches meant nothing, it was all just...nothing. like don't get me wrong, I like SKK team ups, I adore them. But the fact it...wasn't really serious for them is disappointing.
These are just some of my initial thoughts about it, and just my opinion. I guess the fact a lot of my other series have also been doing stuff like this (or gone absolutely off the rails) has just makes me more disappointed as well. In regards to the old days, I just miss before when I was ACTUALLY concerned or worried when things happened, when moments had their impact. BSD has a special place in my heart, and it always will, but it's been a long time since things had impact like when I first joined the fandom way back when. And again, no hate or anything to anyone who enjoyed it! I'm glad they can! I just personally didn't.
#ooc  ||  an absolute mythology nerd#bsd spoilers#i hope this makes some sense#i can / might elaborate some more#when i get home from work#i just miss things having consequences tbh#PERMANENT consequences i should say

I was just talking about it to a friend but degrees of separation within artist circles scares me so bad you can have someone that is an active danger to the people around them but because they have good art everyone turns a blind eye to it
#This is kindof the reason i started disconnecting from furry art in general#Like im always going to draw animal people but i become deeply uncomfortable with who is allowed to run around without consequences#Im not saying they should be permanently deplatformed but if they use their platform consistently for bad shit should they really have it#emf

Okay, but I'm still not over how well that scene was played out for Neo when she broke and realized she didnt have anything else after this. That empty, hollow feeling after finally getting what she thought she wanted, only to realize, that it didnt actually help anything. And Roman's words are what stick to me with all of this.
"This cant be all you wanted, is it?"
Because up to that point, that was all Neo wanted. She lost Roman, the one person she cared about and cared about her, and she wanted to avenge him. She became so grief stricken that she started hunting down Cinder, only to have her anger and grief pointed towards Ruby instead.
And I'll be disappointed if this is the end of her story.
Dont get me wrong, not a huge fan of Neo, but I'm a huge fan of watching broken characters start to heal and get better. A fan of watching someone who was abused and lashing out because they dont know any better to be given a chance to find out that there's more out there for them and a better way to live. That getting revenge on those you think wronged you, wont make anything better. It doesnt bring back the person you lost, wont make anything better and will make you hollow and empty.
Maybe Jaune can be the one to help free Neo, pushing aura into her to help her find her sense of self. Its not going to fix anything she's done, but it'll give her a chance to survive and a chance to start correcting her path. A chance for someone to listen to her. A chance she never had.
#rwby#analysis#rwby spoilers#rwby vol 9 spoilers#stuff that came through in this episode is my jam#watching broken people hit that moment of realization#and the fact that she's in a unique place where her actions wont have a permanent effect#so she can actually start doing what she needs to do to get moving in the right direction#again#this isnt saying that I think she should be buddies with the heroes or that they should just forgive her#that yes she'll have to deal with consequences to what she's done because none of that was right#but with all the set up between her backstory and setting up what Roman meant to her#killing her off would be a waste at this point#it wouldnt be satisfying#not after all the trouble that CRWBY has gone through with setting up a point for her to have a chance to do better

josh not being able to survive the violent revolution is absolute bullshit that makes me mad to this day, but what even is death in an android world? if you gave him enough blue blood and had spare body parts on hand, would be able to come back?
#like if the jericrew succeed and gain access to android production plants could they bring josh back to life?#he doesnât get shot in the head so his main operating system/memories/personality should be fine right?#although even if he was shot in the head markus has clearly proven that even that isnât a permanent roadblock#ig you could make a case for josh not /wanting/ to come back to a victory won by a violent method but i chose to trust him as a man of his#word and if he says that heâll follow markus no matter what then heâll follow markus no matter what!#idc what the actual answer is: i now accept this as canon đ#like i get that a choice based videogame has to have meaningful consequences for your choices for it to feel like an actual experience but#none of your choices impact if josh lives or dies!! the ONLY thing that means he dies in the final chapter is if you pick the violent#revolution!! nothing else!! not your relationship!! not your success as a leader up until this point!! absolutely nothing!! just as soon as#you pick anything other than demonstration heâs dead#it just makes me so goddamn sad like :( josh who never wanted this choosing to go against his morals because he 100% believes that markus is#the one who will lead the androids to freedom. and none of that matters because he gets gunned down the second he steps into battle :(#he mustâve been so scared :(#josh#dbh#mine

Feels after the first kiss...
Hello everybody đ How are you guys? So, this is a short PAC of how you and your person will feel after your first kiss. It can be your future spouse,next partner, crush absolutely anyone
Just a warning that this is a general reading and it is only for entertainment purposes. So take what resonates and leave the rest for others.
Let's get started đȘđ»
Pile 1 ---- Pile 2 ---- Pile 3
Pile 4 ---- Pile 5 ---- Pile 6
Pile 1
đȘ» Their Feelings :
I can see that your person is extremely attracted to you. But they are someone who will not act impulsively and even after the kiss they will think about it not that they won't like it . they would love it . they are attracted to you and they want to do a lot more things with you but again they want to take it slow and be more cautious about where this relationship is going. It is possible from their side that after this kiss the physical intimacy might be a little slow because they do not want to regret it later not to say they are not attracted to you I am getting this message again and again attracted to you but again they just want the best for both of you. They might as well feel uncertain as to how to proceed further, this is not shyness it's the fear of interpreting it wrong.
đȘ»Your Feelings :
Just like your person you will also pause for a moment after the kiss and try to weigh everything like all the outcomes which are possible or consequences you might have to face if you came in a relationship with this person or if this continues further.
You might feel a bit distant from them not in a negative way but like you would not know how to process this. Also there was a huge gap in between your card falling out whereas for your partner all the cards fell almost together.
You might be worried about the future and want things to happen at a faster pace as your person wants to go slow. I don't see any arguments or anything it is just both of you are attracted to each other but maybe current circumstances or the situation which you are in are not very supporting or it is just that you both lack communication and you both should just talk.
So it is possible that in the starting will just feel numb and then slowly you will realise what has happened.
Pile 2
đȘ»Their Feelings :
Alright pile 2 this person will immediately think of building a family with you . they will be like wanting something permanent with you immediately after the kiss. They would want to take care of you and look after you. They would even say that " I want kids with you" that is what I am getting. They might have a cheeky smile and they would flash it to you a lot after the kiss like it won't be awkward at all. This is someone who will be in a long term commitment with you. They just adore you pile 2.Â
đȘ»Your Feelings :
Pile 2 you will feel like you have transcended to another world where there it is just you and your person you won't be able to express this feeling logically or why are you feeling this way logically as even after days and weeks and months you would just think of it as a very very magical experience. Something you will never forget. You would admire your person very much and although it feels very dreamy and whimsical to you I am also seeing that you will be very practical about this relationship. I mean I don't know if I can explain it properly or not but yes there is a dreamy and magical Vibe but also a very practical and logical and sensible approach.
You will literally be on the 9th cloud and it will make you feel very tender and in tune with your feminine energy.
Pile 3
đȘ»Their Feelings :
Pile 3 your person will think that their search is over and you are the person for them you are the magician of their life and you are someone who would provide them with every happiness that the world has in store for them. Right after the kiss your person might be confused as to how they shall show their emotions to you they could be someone who is not very emotionally connected to other people be it you or anyone else they like to keep to themselves but they want to tell you what a magical experience they have had with you and to express it in words might become difficult for them. They will feel very enthusiastic after the kiss and I'm also getting they might want to go on a dinner date with you like if not a date you guys might eat out after this.
Guys I was literally forgetting words while I am doing there energy so this person might not be very upfront about their emotional well being and what they feel.
đȘ»Your Feelings :
You will feel like you guys will make a power couple and there is a lot of potential in this relationship. You will straight up go into your delusional world you know that the other person doesn't share their feelings easily but you will understand through their actions and the way they treat you afterwards that what they are trying to say I am seeing that you would be really good at knowing and understanding their actions.
you will feel like this is the person you have been waiting for your entire life.
Pile 4
đȘ»Their Feelings :
They will feel like they have been reborn after the kiss. they feel like the most dramatic person you will ever meet also when I was shuffling the cards for your person I thought about one of my colleagues like randomly and that guy he is like the sweetest creature I have ever met on this planet he is very sweet and very comforting to be around. Someone very soft spoken not introvert but like selectively extrovert. These could be some of the traits your person has also he is very supportive and he is always rooting for me we do not talk too much but whenever we do he is always like trying to motivate me to do different stuff another thing I am remembering about him is football he loves to play football.
They are very dramatic. Like they will think " I have a crush on pile 4 "Â after the kiss but it is quite possible that you guys are already in a relationship. that's the energy Pile 4 they might as well blush ALOT.
đȘ»Your Feelings :
From your side I am seeing pile 4 that there is a possibility that this kiss happens when you both for some reason are going to be on a distance for sometime it could be like them leaving for some business work or you going on a vacation with your family or friends where they cannot be a part of it or vice versa whatever it is it is a short period of time anyway you think this is your the person. the way they are reacting you never thought about it that someone could even give such a reaction you could be an over thinker and it is like your part time job to overthink really everything but after the kiss and the reaction they are giving. you haven't tbh you would be waiting for the next time when you have an intimate moment together.
Pile 5
đȘ»Their Feelings :
Pile 5 your person will feel emotionally connected to you after this kiss. like they will feel such a bond with you they have never felt before. I am pretty sure they will start thinking about having kids with you and a beautiful family while they are kissing you not even after. while they are and this is a very happy chirpy energy. Is there anybody here in this pile whose vocabulary in English is really top notch because I am getting that for some reason and you guys might have an inside joke relating to this topic. I am also getting that they are kind of funny and a very jolly person in general so they might as well start smiling while you guys are you know maybe right after the kiss and you would be like " WhaT aRe YoU dOiNG it's A MoMeNt leT's eNJoy IT ?!?!!" okay I am getting a very best friend kind of energy from their side it's like you guys are best friends and lovers as well.
đȘ»Your Feelings :
Okay so you are the overthinkers my pile 5 you guys would be very unsettled after the kiss. Not because you did not like it but you would feel like "oh did he like it" "what is he thinking about me" "have I done it correctly" "what if he expected more" "shall we do something else as well"Â and for some of you this might trigger something from the past resulting in sleepless night again this person is going to be your biggest support system they are not irritated at all and will reassure you thousand times a day if they have to. I do get a best friend energy here as well so this person is not just your partner, lover,crush they are also your best friend and as a best friend they would make sure you are always comfortable around them.
They are literally thinking of getting married to you whereas you are overthinking it. not your fault but try to not do it ; it is bad for you.
Pile 6
đȘ»Their Feelings :
Pile 6 you guys might kiss in the early stages of your relationship or even when you are not in relationship I am not really focusing on the situations and circumstances in this pac but as you guys do they might start having feelings feel like they had them before but now it is mostly what is in their mind 24X7.Â
you make them nostalgic you feel like home to them. They feel like they have hit home after the kiss this is a very calm and peaceful energy it is something they might have not felt in a long time I am also getting that this person is a very jolly and someone who carries their heart on their sleeves. You will make them feel at peace and with this their feelings might start accelerating for you. Not because they want to be with you physically but because you make their heart at peace you do things to them they didn't know anybody could do. Also why am I getting this person could have an mexican - american accent.
đȘ»Your Feelings :
For you my pile 6 you guys might feel stable after this kiss it is like you both have finally taken a step forward. it is quite possible that you both were feeling stuck in this relationship before the kiss happened but as soon as this happened you guys might feel that finally the things are moving forward and in a positive way.
During the course of the kiss you will be very comforted to be in their arms and I am getting a scenario for you guys I will try to explain it as accurately as I can.
You both are standing in the kitchen and that is where the initial tension builds up. I am seeing no arguments no fights prior to the kiss but maybe just a little playful Banter which might have caused some sexual tension and hence the result.
Either way you both would feel like this is the stepping stone for your relationship and from this point onwards there is only gonna be positive developments in the relationship.
Thank you so very much for reading this PAC. Will be bringing more soon. Byeee

i just think that we should probably hold companies to a higher standard than singular humans. i think that if a company violates the law that it should experience harsher and more permanant consequences than a human, because for a company to violate the law it requires Several People violating the law in concert. holding any one of them responcible isnt it. we must hold the Entity responsible.
all this to say that i think nestle, facebook, BP etc, should have had their copywrites, trademarks, and patents rendered into public domain Long Ago, and their real properties confiscated and resold to pay for public works projects to replace their function more ethically

"I am" a Bitch
(Rei x Male Reader, 3.3k Words) Tags: Pretty Little Risky Baddie, What A Brat, Wow She Is So Spoiled, I Sure Hope She Doesn't Get Her Butt Stretched Out, Anal Sex, Brat Taming, Lots Of Complaining, Rough Sex, Too Much Teasing, Chaebol Obliteration
Rei is a spoiled brat. Like most of IVE, she had been pampered until her pretentiousness had swollen to absurd heights; her every whim was to be fulfilled without worry of the consequences. She fully expected that her demands would be followed, especially those pertaining to the bedroom. Though Rei was not the worst of the bunch, her sexual appetites were still incredibly skewed in her favor; the pleasure of her partner was very much so beneath her notice. So she was rather unforgiving when her "lover" failed to satisfy her obnoxious orders, but not in an enjoyable way. Perhaps you should have known better, but truly, who could blame you for dumping the fattest load of your life balls-deep inside of Rae's precious asshole?
You had mostly known what you were getting into when you applied to work for IVE, every Kpop group had its own distinct quirks regarding the hired help. Itzy were renowned for their rapacity when dealing with the "interns", and their older sisters of Twice were famous for their fetishistic forced-breeding schedules. Le Sserafim were a popular choice, mostly due to their extremely laid-back and open attitude towards sex. Positions at Blackpink were the most sought after of course, though they remained permanently open, their turnover rate was less than a week. And IVE... well IVE were notorious for treating their employees like utter garbage. Which was hardly unusual if truth be told, except for the fact that this mindset extended to include most of the staff, not just the sex pets. It was by unwritten agreement amongst idols that the more integral staff members were to be left unravished; after all, it is difficult for a music company to function when their song writers are too busy pumping the idols full of cum all day to write anything. Most importantly however, the cleaning staff were to be left entirely unmolested; if not for those brave souls, the number of injuries caused by slipping in puddles of sex-fluids would skyrocket. Even that insatiable goddess Jennie, who would fuck almost anything with a pulse, would greet the janitors with a bemused smile before continuing to drain whatever meat-dildo she was currently sending to heaven.
Unfortunately, IVE had no such distinctions; if Gaeul wanted to have the producers lick her pussy all day, then that's what they did. It was a dark miracle that the group managed to continue putting out comebacks, let alone the sort that would be astoundingly popular. So to say that the atmosphere at the IVE mansion was a bit stressful would be an understatement. But all of that negativity was on the back of your mind when you showed up for orientation at the mansion; your adoration for IVE drowning out any concerns you may have felt reading up about them. Led through a tastelessly expensive entry hall, you and many other new hires were ushered into a drab side-room for your training. After only a perfunctory introduction though, you were seamlessly sorted into being an assistant for one of the girls; and sent on your way. You are directed to a large, stately bedroom, its footprint greater than most people's entire homes, its door embossed with its owner's name. The debris of an artist occupies an entire corner of the vast room, painting materials stashed haphazardly alongside expensive electronic drawing devices. The bathroom fills the rest of that half of the room, an opaque wall covering what looks to be a standing shower as well as a sizable hot tub. The sleeping area is conjoined with the living area, cluttered with clothes, books, and entertainment devices; with an enormous television planted in front of a deep couch. The bed is sturdy, dowered with an expensive mattress and covered with an eclectic collection of blankets; and laying upon it is the owner of this gilded cage: Rei.
The idol rests upon her stomach, delicate feet kicking in the air above her head, perusing her phone with every appearance of absolute boredom. She gives you unhappy glare as you approach, her heavily-lidded eyes showing you nothing but contempt as she takes in the details. Rei lets out a petulant sigh, "So you're my new assistant huh, why do I never get the cute ones? Whatever, drop your pants, let's see what we're working with here." You hesitate at this bizarre and sudden demand, only complying after she irritable motions for you to proceed, "Hmmph, I guess you'll do, at least you don't have a needle dick. Please tell me you aren't one of those premature guys, I swear most boys have zero endurance. What? Put that thing away, I'm tired of looking at it already!" Blushing furiously from Rei's barbs, you haul your pants back up and wait for further instructions. After several minutes of pointedly ignoring you, she finally deigns to glance back up in exasperation, "Well don't just stand there idiot, do something useful like... cleaning or something? This place is a mess!" Which, to be fair, it absolutely was. Clothes were strewn about haphazardly, towers of empty food cartons were everywhere, all manner of trash was scattered about, and sticky stains on the carpet were more common than clean portions.
So you get to work, while Rei lounges about on her bed, yelling dubious advice and shrill instructions at you while you labor. Her phone either blares annoying videos, except when she is video-chatting with her fellow idols; in which case she yammers away just as loudly as the bitches getting railed in the call. And of course, she masturbates constantly, her fingers squelching away beneath her sweatpants as she watches her friends engaging in all sorts of sexual activities. That or porn; and if you are honest with yourself it's difficult to tell the difference between the two. Not that Rei takes kindly to be watched during her "Private Time", nor the fact that the sight and scent of her pleasuring herself has an arousing effect on your own genitals, "You fucking pervert, stop watching me! Ugh what kind of assistant are you? And are you getting hard again? Stop that! I didn't say you could get horny, so stop looking and keep cleaning!" An attitude which was annoying in the extreme, especially since it was a touch difficult to bend over with a hardon bulging out of your pants. Your irritation only grows as Rei continues to rain abuse on you for doing what you're told, particularly when she went into hysterics when you got around to picking up and sorting the massive pile of underwear heaped against a dresser. You are starting to see why IVE had be having trouble retaining their staff...
After several grueling hours of labor, you finally finished restoring order to at least one portion of Rei's expansive living area; and so lay down to take a break on a couch. Not five minutes had passed before you were being poked awake by Rei, scowling down at you with her hands on her hips. Who haughtily announces that she was going to take a bath, and that she required assistance; now. You groan before hauling yourself after the idol to the bathroom section, where you are stunned to find her stripping carelessly in front of you. You stare at Rei in shock, your foul mood entirely dispelled by the magnificent sight before your eyes; she merely sniffs as you gaze at her. Her surprisingly moderate bust perks boldly outward, the soft curve of her hips descending towards a deliciously full ass, her lithe legs supported by her delicate feet. Now this made her earlier abuse almost worthwhile, surely such a goddess could be allowed a few flaws? Surely it was her due to be given such slavish attention, surely you had deserved such ill-treatment for not paying proper homage to Rei? The illusion of divinity is shattered however, when Rei responds to your adoration with scorn, "Ew, could you not look at me like that, it's weird. Also, get naked already, didn't I tell you to listen you moron?"
So you gingerly remove your clothes, wincing as you strain your sore muscles, and by the time you are finished Rei is already standing in the luxurious hot tub. With her hands on her hips, she gives you an exasperated look, and you scramble up into the bath to avoid another irritating tongue-lashing. You sit down with a sigh, decompressing in the soothing warm waters, water-jets massaging your aching back in a most pleasant fashion. Your momentary calm is cracked somewhat when Rei proceeds to plop down into your lap, her ample bottom squishing up against your groin as she reclines against you. You are rendered speechless by her sudden intimacy, and surprisingly, she is just as quiet. Rei seems content to use you as furniture as she relaxes, and in this moment of tranquility you take in your surroundings in more detail. A sprawling plethora of bottles precariously perch on the further edge of the hot tub, while the rim to your right is taken up entirely with sexual accessories. The bathroom area itself was relatively clean, but clutter was gradually overrunning every available surface; most noticeable was the trash can overflowing with condom wrappers, Rei was obviously a healthy girl...
Rei starts slightly as you harden, but otherwise seems content to ignore the fact that your cock is currently digging into her butt. She wriggles a little to reposition, then relaxes once more, until eventually she sighs and stands up out of the water. She glances back at you, "Your size?" Rei asks as she reaches towards the boxes of condoms. Nodding at your answer, she pulls out a string of them and tosses them at you before ordering you to close your eyes as she fiddles with some sort of tube. You hear Rei let out a soft curse, "Ugh, it's so cold..." then water churns and she grumbles at you, "Well, put it on already!" You open your eyes to find her scowling down at you, and you hurriedly hoist our crotch out of the water so you can slip a condom onto it. You reach towards Rei, only for her to slap your hands away, "Hey! No, sit back down! And don't you dare move, I hate it when guys act like they're not just dildos." With that out of the way, and giving you one final glare in warning, she turns around and lowers herself once more onto your crotch. But this time the burning heat of the water is replaced by the much more subdued warmth of Rei's insides, as she slowly slides your length into herself. Her plump ass squirms as she settles into her new perch, and she is soon gently rocking back and forth in your lap while her hands are busy between her thighs. Her pink hair tickles your face as she grinds on your bulging cock, teasing it endlessly as she pleasures herself. Rei's entire weight is pressed onto your cock as she lifts her legs, the roiling water supporting her as she precisely orients her body to force you as deep as possible. Then Rei lets out a sudden squeak, and she quivers against you, her hole clenching tight around your now painfully erect member.
Rei shudders, her asshole palpitating as she relaxes back against your chest, breathing heavily as she eases her weight off of your manhood. After resting against you for about a minute or so, oblivious to your cock as it throbs inside of her, she pushes herself up off of you in a cascade of water. You get a faceful of ass, and as she bends forward her slightly gaping brown anus is revealed, glistening wetly and flushed from use. Rei notices you staring and quickly turns around, covering herself as she does, "What, it's not like I would let you fuck my unused pussy, I'm saving it for my beloved!" You highly doubt that Rei's cunt had gone unstretched during her stint as a trainee, but you are far more focused on the fact that you had not been able to finish. The bratty idol gives you a confused look as she notices your demeanor, "Oh, did you not cum...? Feel free to jack off into the condom or something, just don't make a mess!" Humming cheerfully, she clambers out of the hot tub and is soon ensconced in an oversized fluffy towel; whereupon she putters off towards the living area, dripping water everywhere. Grumbling, and still staggeringly erect, you dry yourself off before following her, finding Rei sprawled on her couch flicking through channels. Not even deigning to glance at you, she reminds you to clean up all the water you got on the floor walking over there. Rolling your eyes you obey, though not without complaining under your breath, by the time you finished up and returned to your spoiled mistress she has already switched to watching porn. Loud moans and squeals blare from the enormous television as some woman is getting absolutely railed on screen. Rei is already masturbating shamelessly upon her discarded towel, her dark nipples starkly erect.
The idol glances over as you approach and nods in satisfaction as she notices that your dick is still hard, she scrambles around so that her plump posterior is pointed right at you, "Grab a condom, but follow my orders exactly, okay? My butt is very delicate." Sheathed once more in latex supplied from an ever-present condom box, you gently grasp her hips, "Okay, so put a lot of lube in, gently, then slowly ease your dick in, got it?" Instructions which you ignore entirely, as you simply shove your cock directly into Rei's vulnerable asshole. Whose back arches up as she shrieks in surprise, wailing as if she had just been poleaxed. The bitch was obviously exaggerating however, your dick had slid smoothly inside of her, only catching a little at the entrance, evidently Rei had squirted so much lube inside of herself earlier that she still had loads of it coating her insides. Not that she sees it that way, "YOU DUMB FUCK! TAKE IT OUT TAKE IT OUT!" she howls, clawing at the couch for support as her legs shudder. But you are done taking orders from this entitled brat, and pull back, dragging a solid inch of her insides along with you, Rei barely has time to gasp out "Oh thank-" before you slam your entire length back into her guts. This time she is only able to let out an outraged gasp, unable to comprehend how a lowly fan like you could possibly disobey a chaebol of IVE.
Of course, most other idols would not have stood for such treatment either, Yeji would have been clawing your back into bloody ribbons, Rose would have been beating you mercilessly, Jihyo would have pinned you down and firmly forced you inside the proper hole, Dami would have had you biting the couch as she pummeled you with a gargantuan strapon. Instead, Rei, scion of a renowned idol training program, promptly bursts into noisy tears. Normally a girl sobbing would have given you pause, and caused you to rush to give her comfort, but this bitch had been abusing you for hours now, and it seemed a bit of an overreaction; so you continue. Rei blubbers as loudly as the girl on screen, bemoaning her fate and tepidly demanding that you listen to her. But by now you were getting into the swing of things, and to be completely honest her asshole was practically sucking you inside after every thrust. Her thick ass-cheeks clap loudly as you slam yourself against them again and again, providing a meaty cushion that was almost begging for a thoroughly rough plowing. So you give it to them, violently pistoning your cock into her guts, causing her to squeak plaintively and writhe in your grasp as you firmly hold her steady. Then Rei starts to shake, her ass shivering in a familiar way, you don't stop moving though, even when she suddenly starts to scream shrilly, spittle flying onto the couch.
Something hot and wet slops onto your balls, sticking tight to it and smearing deep into its folds. Surprised, you pull out, leaving Rei's asshole gaping enough to show pink and sputtering foully, and beneath that, a shaven pussy absolutely slathered with cunt cream, connected her sex to yours with glistening streamers. She whines in embarrassment, looking back at you in disbelief at the mess she had made, her squeezable cheeks flushing bright red. Before Rei could make any excuses however you had crammed your cock back into her sloppy ass, causing her to groan and bite the fabric. A glow with satisfaction with yourself, you fall back into your rough rhythm, plowing away with enough force to make her ass-cheeks jiggle with every thrust. The steady slap of skin fills the room as you relentlessly fuck Rei, drowning out the depravities taking place on the TV, (by this point the woman appeared to be taking four cocks at once). But Rei wasn't an idol for nothing, and even after such ungentle treatment her butt still devoured your manhood voraciously; squeezing it tightly without any sign of tiring. Your tip grows warmer as you continue to pound away at her hole, it even starts to feel a bit wet within the rubber. The added stimulation is enough to make your heartily sore balls finally start to pulse, and you feel pleasure emanating from the base of your cock, urging you to go deeper. Groaning loudly, you haul Rei back as hard as you can, squishing against her butt with all your might as you climax spectacularly, filling your condom with thick reams of semen. Rei moans in sympathy, but a note of confusion turns her sweet tones shrill, "Oh fuck yes- WAIT. Wait you idiot you're fucking cumming in me! Oh fuck there's so much! Pull out fuckwit, pull out!" Startled by the sudden vehemence in her voice, you abruptly pull out of her, her unplugged asshole sloppily burping your seed out into the creamy filth already coating her sex. Now that it is exposed, you are able to clearly see the issue, your sex had been so violent it had torn the condom open, allowing your cum to surge into Rei's unprotected asshole; who is not taking it well.
"Fuckfuckfuckfuck! It's so slimy and gross! I fucking hate cum! How fucking dare you cum in me! Ugh I feel like I'm going to puke!" she staggers upright, scowling furiously at you as she stumbles towards the bathroom. She points angrily at her door, "Out! Get the fuck out!" she screams, pulling herself onto the toilet and squatting upon it like a gargoyle. You quickly dress under her glare, as she starts to shit the vast amount of semen you had pumped into her. Once out the door, you report to the staff member, who seems unsurprised to discover that she had kicked you out of her room. They instruct you to return tomorrow, apparently the assistants were quietly cycled between the girls until they caught on and demanded their removal permanently. You are utterly shocked the next day then when you are once more ordered to wait upon Rei. Led to her familiar door, you find the brat hunched in front of a tablet, morosely jotting upon it with a stylus. She grunts as she sees you, frowning unhappily, rolling the stylus nimbly through her fingers as she ponders something deeply. Finally though she sighs, and demands that you strip once more. You nervously comply, worried about what sort of depraved revenge Rei has in store for you. But instead she simply stalks over to her bed, casting off her clothes as she goes, whereupon she bends over, looking back at you with annoyed trepidation.
"Well, what are you waiting for, idiot? You had better not break your condom this time! Oh and- um," Rei blushes in embarrassment, seemingly mortified that she has to say this, "please be rough again..."

it's a story about hands (reprise)
Yeah, okay, today's the day.
I gave my blog that title for a reason, you know, and it has loomed over me for years because the hand motif is absolutely everywhere and you could go on about it forever.
Maybe that's something I'll never actually attempt to do, but this chapter, we reached a breaking point.
Before I continue, I need to give a big, big disclaimer: I do not have a physical disability, so I'm not able to speak about that from the standpoint of representation as a first-hand perspective. I have at least listened to enough disabled people to know that fictional characters who become amputees only to miraculously gain their limbs back is, um, a trope. Disabled people in general being "healed" is a conception we would really prefer to avoid here. Not to call people out, but I don't think we're giving enough space to acknowledge that.
I donât feel comfortable making the judgement call about what should happen. Iâm leaving that open. I also don't want to downplay people's emotional reactions. Honestly, I don't know if I can accurately define the line between acknowledging real pain vs. ableist pity. But Iâd like to talk about the possibilities of what could happen. Other characters have definitely gotten permanent disabilities as a result of their hero work, or even just the side effects of their quirk. But, for better or worse, I don't think this case is really about representation. Not that Horikoshi won't do that justice. He might. What I'm saying is that's not his purpose for having Izuku lose his arms. It's meant to be symbolic, so we can explore what it means. The other thing Iâm keeping in mind here is that Horikoshi is notorious for playing with our expectations, like, alllllll the time. I mean, just take a few chapters ago for a classic example. Eri appeared at the end, and we all assumed she was about to take some sort of action to save someone with her quirk. Then, immediately following, we were given an explanation for why that wouldnât be happening. And now itâs clear he wanted to do that âfake outâ not just as a silly cliffhanger prank, but specifically so we would know not to suspect that Eri could be the miraculous solution to Izukuâs loss of his arms. Rest assured, there is no easy way out of this.
The expectation at play in this particular instance is an old one. Itâs very understated, but its subtext has burned so brightly, youâd be a fool not to notice it. It sits with anticipation like one half of a call and response. Man, I was so certain. Lots of people still are. I was really looking forward to printing the panel where it happened onto a t shirt and wearing it proudly. All the hand motifs in this story radiate thematically from a single moment, the one that started it all for Izuku.
It raises all kinds of questions about the act of saving, who needs saving, why, what does it mean, what are the dynamics of power, politics, honesty, exploitation, compassion, pity, disdain, sacrifice. Katsuki has dealt with many of these since he first rejected Izukuâs hand. While Izuku was the one who was convinced Katsuki would keep on rejecting himïżœïżœïżœ
âŠKatsuki was the one who kept that moment in his mind all these years and eventually came to regret it.
Katsuki is the one yearning for that hand-hold, the one who has imbued it with so much more weight than it ever originally had. Izuku, in contrast, does not allow himself to dwell on what he wants. To illustrate this difference, we need to look at another piece of foreshadowing:
Ugh, do y'all remember when lots of folks were complaining about how there never seemed to be actual consequences for Izuku's destructive treatment of his own body? I don't blame them, I was concerned and confused about it too. There were several "fixes" along the way. Recovery Girl healed him, but left a physical reminder. Then he started training to fight with his legs⊠sometimes. Then he got support items. All of these were unsatisfying non-conclusions because they didn't present Izuku with a lasting enough impression to change in a meaningful way. They didn't address his core, his origin.
Of course, that all changed this chapter. Now it looks like our frustration was inflicted intentionally. With the current context in mind, all of these moments look more sinister, like this day was always gonna come because they kept putting bandaids on a deep emotional and psychological wound. The problem is pretty much spelled out for us here:
As Katsuki put it, he just doesnât take himself into account, ya know? He doesnât care what happens to him. And he lies about it, to keep others from worrying, to keep them safe. To keep them from returning the favor and putting themselves in harmâs way for his sake. His motivations are noble,
âŠbut what about the little boy inside Izuku? Who saves him?
This is all about Izuku giving himself up to the point that he literally has no more to give. The thing is, I bet he saw this coming. He knew his limits and decided to keep going anyway, because his personal safety and wellbeing are not important. Now that way of thinking has come back to bite him because the fight isnât over yet, and heâs already made his sacrifice. So now we know who will be more distraught over this. Not IzukuâKatsuki.
Itâs not about Izuku becoming disabled, itâs about how Katsuki wanted to use the intertwining of their fingers to communicate that he would never let go. Never stop valuing him most. Never let himself make the mistake of rejecting him again. Never let Izuku be so reckless with his life. To say: âwe are in this together.ââŠif only Katsuki believed he deserved to be able to say such things. To reach out his hand would have been the ultimate way to simply imply them and let Izuku be the one to decide. Then, to feel their hands clasped together would be more than either of them dared hope for, but so beautiful, so right. A moment theyâve waited their whole lives for.
Yeah. Thatâs what we were expecting. Weâve been so comfortable. Horikoshi gave us all the signs. He tempted and teased us over and over. BUT. You know he does this thing were he gives us a desirable, completely plausible and simple thing to look forward to, and then he snatches it away. And THEN he replaces it with something much better, something we were not expecting at all because it seemed too good to be true. Thatâs exactly what happened when Himiko snatched Izuku away, and we were robbed of the chance to see him and Katsuki fight together. In hindsight, though, Iâm glad things went a different way because now thereâs so much more depth and angst on display. Likewise, in the present moment, we may consider how, as one door closes, another opens.
As wonderfully meaningful as the hand-hold would have been, perhaps it is still too simple a resolution for Izuku, for his and Katsukiâs relationship. Tbh, it could have been done like 100 chapter ago. At this point, thereâs so much more potential. There are a couple of ways it could go. If Izuku stays armless, Katsuki will be forced to use other methods to get his point across. Heâll have to do something else, or say what he means, or both. Yes, Iâm talking about what you think Iâm talking about. If I say it, I just might jinx it (lol), but I mean it. Iâm being serious. Either way, if Izuku did get his arms back in the end, Iâm sure that it wouldnât be an easy fix. It would be hard-won against Izukuâs self-destructive mindset, and/or by Katsukiâs conviction. Again, I say this knowing it is not meant so much as a representation of disability, but as a representation of Izukuâs greatest character flaw taken to the extreme. I know this might sound harsh, like, hasnât he been through enough? I get that, but⊠Iâve said it before and I say it again: Izuku is stubborn as hell.
I wish I had a resounding final note to end this on, but I kinda donât. Iâm not sure whatâs best. Now we just have to wait and see what Horikoshi has in mind.

ౚà§
âWHAT DO you think, baby?â
Bella stared at you before she started running around the place, sniffing every corner.
It was officially your first day living in Vancouver. You had been coming and going to Vancouver ever since youâd signed your contract with La Vie en Rose, arranging things and getting your shit together.
Nicholas was right, their team took care of everything, and they got you a nice place too. You still had to pay rent but at least you didnât have to go apartment hunting, which was something you hated.
You and Bella landed in Vancouver last night, and you didnât have the energy to do anything but lay on your bed with her and sleep the entire Saturday. It was Sunday now, and you were trying to get Bella used to the rooms before you had to leave for your first shooting on Monday.
âItâs not so bad, is it?â You asked her, putting your hands on your waist. âI think itâs nice.â
Your phone rang and you picked it up, reading Quinnâs text with a smile on your face.
Youâve been texting everyday since that day at his house, and you felt like the world was finally spinning right again. Having Quinn back in your lifeâ and consequently Ellen, Jim, Luke and Jack as wellâ made you so happy it was almost unbelievable.
He texted at weird hours, sometimes at three a.m. and sometimes at six p.m., but he always asked about you and how you were doing. Have you eaten? Howâs the moving going? Do you need any help?
Youâd stare at those texts and ask yourself the same thing youâve been asking since you were eleven: why he was so kind to you? Not that you were complaining. It just felt weird to have someone who cared as much as he did again.
You told him you were now permanently living in Vancouver and he told you heâd come see you whenever he got back from Seattle. You felt your heart beating faster just with the thought of him at your place, both of you alone for the first time after that awkward moment at his house, with you hangover as fuck.
Now you would be sober and in your space, not his.
You sighed, watching Bella preparing herself for a nap in her massive bed by the balcony and you decided that napping was the right solution for you too.
ౚà§
YOUR FIRST day at La Vie en Rose had been a success, not that you expected anything else.
Turns out your editor-in-chief, Victoria, was one of the nicest people you had ever met; she talked you through the process of working for La Vie en Rose and answered all of your questions with patience and kindness.
âYou were our target for a long time before we managed to snatch you,â she joked when you mentioned that working with them was a dream come true. âSo weâre the ones who should be thankful.â
She took you to her favorite restaurant and bought your lunch while she talked your ears off, in the best way possible. You never had a girl friend before. Between casting and auditions, you never got to make many friends. And in the world of modeling, there werenât friendsâ you had to see the other girls as your opponents, people you had to defeat. Your body had to be better, your hair had to be shinier, your catwalk had to be smoother.
So when Victoria treated you as a friend, even if youâd met each other a few hours ago, it was like the universe was being kind to you again.
You were on your way home, enjoying the view as you walked down the streets, grateful that you still didnât have a car because the city was really beautiful, even with the cold weather.
You arrived at your apartment, going all the way up to the ninth floor. When you opened your door, Bella almost knocked you down, jumping on you and licking your face.
âYouâre going to hurt mommy, baby,â You laughed, caressing her fur. âI missed you too.â
She barked and you got up, finally closing the door and removing your heels. You left your bag on the couch and ran to your bathroom, desperate for a hot shower and pajamas. The best part of your house was the central heater system, and the fact that you got to wear your tiny pajama sets even when it was snowing outside.
You did your nightly skincare and spread the vanilla scented lotion on your entire body, before applying your favorite perfumeâ no need to specify the scent. You were a vanilla girl through and through and you would never leave the house unless you smelled like a bakery.
It was only eight p.m. but you were so tired that all you wanted to do was crash in your bed and sleep, but you still had to give Bella her dinner. So you walked to your laundry room, where you kept all of her thingsâ you were that king of dog mom who buys your dog three hundred winter clothes and five hundred chewing toysâ and grabbed her food pot, shaking it lightly to grab her attention.
Which worked momentarily because next thing you knew the doorbell was ringing and Bella was running to the door, barking loudly.
âBella!â You reprimanded her, putting your index finger in front of your mouth and shushing her. âQuiet, please.â
You opened the door even without knowing who was on the other side, which was probably a bad and dangerous thing to do, but it was just Quinn, wearing a suit and holding a suitcase.
âQuinn?â You watched as Bella jumped on him, excited to see someone else. âBella, down, please. Leave him alone.â
âOh, hello there,â he bent over and patted Bellaâs head, caressing her fur while she licked his hands. âWho are you, hm?â
âThatâs Bella,â you said, opening the door so he could get inside. You watched as he got up and stared down at you, eyeing you up and down. You followed his gaze and realized that you were still only wearing your pink, almost see through pajama set and with the cold breeze that hit you when you opened the door, your nipples decided that now was a good time to mark through your shirt. âUm.â
Something flashed through Quinnâs eyes, but you didnât know what. He coughed, closing the door for you. âI didnât know you had a dog.â
âO-oh, right. Bella,â you looked at her, watching as she sniffed Quinnâs things. âI adopted her when I moved to LA. We were both alone and she was living at a shelter.â You smiled, remembering the day you took her home. âShe was so small and so scared. She was sitting alone at a corner and I just⊠I couldnât leave her there.â
Quinn chuckled, nodding. âYouâre still the sweetest person I have ever met.â
âOh, stop it,â you croaked, smiling.
âJust saying,â he shrugged, putting his hands on his pocket and resting his body against the door. âI just came to check on you. Nice place you got here.â
You looked around, agreeing with him.
âIt is, I was just telling Bella this,â you started. âItâs not big but itâs perfect for us. I like it a lot. Especially the heater.â
âThatâs nice too,â he agrees. âWhat are you having for dinner?â
You stared at him, confused. Only that you couldnât tell him that dinner wasnât something that happened everyday in your world.
âHum,â you stutter. âNothing? I was just ready to go to bed, actually.â
âThatâs too bad,â he removed his shoes and started walking around your place like heâd been there a million times before. âIâm starving. We just got here from Seattle. What do you want me to cook?â
âYou donât need to cook anything,â he cocks his head at you, eyes staring deep into your soul. âIâm not hungry. But I can cook something for you if you want to.â
âI donât like eating alone. And you canât just go to bed without eating anything.â
âQuinnâŠâ you sigh, placing your hands on your hips. âDonât do this. Please?â
âIâm not doing anything, Iâm just saying. So,â he claps his hands. âWhat are we having?â
âJesus, I forgot how annoying you are,â you roll your eyes, holding back a smile. âWe can maybe have a salad.â
âIf you want to kill me, there are faster ways to do it,â he whines and you laugh. âCan I take care of dinner and you take care of Bella while I cook?â
âI wanna help.â You pout and he smiles.
âYou can help by sitting there,â he points at your dinner table. âAnd looking pretty. Youâre good at that anyway.â
You laughed out loud, wrapping your arms around your chest. âYouâre old and annoying, Quinn Hughes.â
He opened your cabinets, searching for something with his eyes.
âWhat do you think about rice and salmon?â He asks, picking up the rice package.
âMaybe potatoes instead of rice?â You suggest, pointing at the potato sack sitting in your kitchen trolley.
âAlright,â he pulls up the sleeves of his suit, and goes to the sink to wash his hands. âLetâs get to work.â
To your surprise, Quinn moved around your kitchen with ease, even when he had never visited you before. He finely chopped the potatoes, putting them in the oven to let them roast before he moved to the salmon, seasoning it with the spices you had in your cabinet.
He listened to you the entire time, with you yapping about your day and how nice Victoria had treated you and how Nicholas had called you mid-shooting to ask how you were doing.
âWhat exactly do you do?â He asked, while you grabbed a wine bottle from your fridge.
âWell, it depends,â you replied, grabbing wine glasses from your cabinet and opening the bottle. âSometimes I just take pictures all day, in different locations and outfits. Sometimes I have to go to runways. Sometimes both. Not to mention the social media work, the TikToks and all of that.â
âI donât even wanna hear about TikToks,â he rolls his eyes, making you laugh. âThe Canucks media team are always asking us to do stupid trends and answer weird questions. What does âvery demureâ even mean anyway?â
âYouâre too old for that, Quinny,â you joke, filling your glasses up. âDo you know what I think?â
âHm?â
âI think you should come see me at a runway show,â you suggest, knowing damn well Quinn would never sit on a chair for an hour and a half just to watch women wear weird, provocative clothes and catwalk on a platform. âItâd be interesting.â
âOnly if I get to bring my team with me so itâll be less boring.â He fires back, checking on the salmon in the pan.
âIâm sure they wonât mind watching women in underwear or something similar.â You smile, watching as he nods with his head and sips on his wine too.
âIâm sure of that too.â
He resumes cooking while you finish your first glass of wine, already in for your second. You set the table, turning the TV on for Bellaâ she likes watching TV sometimes, and thatâs fine!â before sitting down to eat Quinnâs tasty-looking meal. After you got your first bite of the salmon, you couldnât help but moan.
âI didnât know you knew how to actually cook, Quinn Hughes,â you say, chewing on the fish. âWhen did you even learn that?â
âIâm a grown man now, Maddie,â he laughed and you rolled your eyes at him.
âLike that means anything. I know Ellen would cook for you everyday if you asked her to.â
âYeah, but Iâm not around her so much anymore, so I just figured out itâd be good for me to know how to take care of myself. And turns out I really like cooking.â
âThis is heavenly, thank you so much,â you sip on your wine as the same time he sips on his, smiling because you liked his company a lot.
ౚà§
âAND THEN, Jack asked them to flash him and the worst part is that someone caught that on camera.â
You laughed, letting your body fall forward, feeling lighter than ever. You and Quinn were sitting on your couch, already in your second bottle of wine. Bella was chewing on one of her toys and it was already ten thirty.
Quinn was now wearing just his white, dress shirt with the first two buttons open, his jacket lost somewhere alongside his tie. You couldnât help but notice how the fabric of the shirt held his muscles in all the right places, getting tighter every time he flexed his muscles.
Quinn was hot, and he had always been in your eyes. He was only twenty-four, almost twenty-five, but he looked older, mature. Something about him being a hockey player, the captain, made you feel confused and hot at the same time.
âJack girlies must have gone crazy with that video,â you add after you stop laughing, watching as Quinn nods.
âTell me about it,â he runs his fingers through his silky, somehow hydrated hair, and you find yourself wondering how itâd feel for you to do the same. âIt was crazy. But I donât really get the appeal.â
You scoffed. âYou donât get the appeal? Have you seen you or your brothers?â
He raised an eyebrow at you. âSo what? Weâre alright, I guess,â
âYouâre crazy,â you roll your eyes at him, incredulous. âI spent my teenage years ignoring guys because you ruined all of them for me and youâre saying youâre just alright?â
He chuckles, turning his head around and staring at you, blue eyes darkening.
âWhat do you mean by that, Madison?â
Maybe it was the fact that it was already late at night and you were tired, or maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe the fact that the last time you had had sex with someone had been more than six months ago, but something about the way Quinn asked you that question, calling you by your name out of all things, made you wonder.
You were both grown up now. You werenât fifteen anymore, innocent and afraid of voicing your needs. And Quinn looks like he knows how to make a woman see starsâŠ
Besides what they say about big noses, you caught yourself thinking, before you could even stop yourself.
Crossing your legs and unconsciously squeezing your thighs together, you answered, softly:
âItâs silly,â you bit your lip, unsure of what you would even say. This is definitely the wineâs fault. âI had a crush on you growing up.â
You expected him to laugh and play it off, like he used to do whenever Jack or Luke mentioned that one of their girl friends had a crush on their older brother, Quinn. You expected him to give you that brotherly look he used to give you when you were younger and asked him questions about his life and family.
But the look he gave you had something different, something rawer. Something that made your skin crawl in the best way possible, that lightened something inside you.
âDid you now?â
âMhm,â you nod with your head. âThatâs why Iâve never had any boyfriends or hook-ups, even after you left. You ruined them all for me.â You wanted it to sound like a joke, but it hadnât. How could it, when you were telling the truth.
âShould I apologize, Maddie?â He manspreads on your couch, and you let your gaze fall on his thighs for a brief secondâ just not brief enough for him not to notice.
âNo, itâsâ itâs fine. Iâm not fifteen anymore.â
âI can see that,â he whispers, and you can feel yourself slipping into his little trap, slowly.
You were so fucked. Ultimately, stupidly fucked, and not even in the way you wanted to. After all these years of swearing to yourself that Quinn wasnât meant for you, and that you wouldnât see him again with lovey eyes anymore, you couldnât believe the reactions your body was having to just his words and stares. This isnât normal.
You needed to do something becauseâ you will not fuck this up again. Quinnâs friendshipâs too precious for you to ruin it with horny thoughts.
So what if Quinn looked like he could fuck you six ways to Sunday? He was your friend. It hadnât even been a month since he got back in your life.
âYeah, but Iâm over it now,â you brushed it off, making a pft sound with your mouth. âGrew up and all of that.â
He takes a while to answer, but when he does, you can feel he wants to say something else.
âGot it.â
After that, the tension between the two of you is almost ten times bigger, and you have to stop your brain from blaming yourself. Whatever happened between you and Quinn seconds ago could never happen again. He was your friend.
âThink Iâm gonna go now,â he says, getting up. Bella runs to his body, licking his hands and asking for pets. âHey, baby girl. Iâm going home now.â
âYou donât have to,â you suggest, the thought of him leaving because of you making you sick to your stomach. âI have a spare bedroom. You drank, itâs not safe.â
âYouâre right, but Iâm not drunk and Iâll drive slowly, I promise,â he smiles, leaning down to give you a peck on your forehead. âGreat to see you.â
âDrive safe, please,â You watched him leave with Bella by your side, heart squeezed tightly inside your chest. âText me when you get home.â
âWill do it.â He answers, before putting on his jacket again, grabbing his suitcase and closing the door of your apartment.
And just like that, you had to spend the night trying to convince yourself that you did the right thing by pushing whatever that was away.

Hi!! I would like to request a Kenan Ă jealous reader. The story can be however you like with whatever genre as long as they have a happy ending <333
THE BOY IS MINE âą KENAN YILDIZ
( pairing ) kenan yıldız x reader
iâm so sorry iâve been pretty inactive recently but college has been rlly busy atm! iâll get to all your requests and write them as soon as i can!
this is literally the perfect request because iâve been listening to the boy is mine nonstop and it fits the vibe yk?
If thereâs one thing about you thatâs commonly broadcast, itâs that you are the jealous type. Not jealous in the sense that you envy what others have, but rather it drives you up the wall when something that is yours is toyed with by another person.
The more accurate term would be possessive, and thereâs no denying that you tend to get⊠territorial when it comes to Kenan.
Truly you canât be faulted for your avaricious behaviour because Kenan is the sort of individual that canât help but draw everyoneâs eyes to him, and along with it, the desire of a plethora of girls.
It fuels you with an ugly sort of pride that you have what other girls can only dream off, a sharp glint of emotion that is slightly cruel and substantially domineering.
Another part of you feels enraged at the thought of anyone else besides you thinking of Kenan in ways that only you, in your opinion, should be capable of.
Itâs not that you arenât secure in your relationship, rather Kenan makes you feel as if youâre the only girl in the world. He goes out of his way to make you feel special, cherished even, and thereâs more than enough clarity that proves, to Kenan, you are the only girl in the universe.
He always has you on his mind, in interviews he manages to mention you in some way or another, and even his celebrations are often dedicated to you. His online persona itself shows this, with you being the only girl in his following, and him being the first to comment and like your posts. Although you two arenât very public, he has managed to get the point across that heâs yours, and some even say that he seems to orbit around you.
Nonetheless, there are consequences that happen when youâre in a relationship with a famous footballer whoâs not only massively talented but also incredibly handsome.
This means that more often than not, some girl will be deluded enough to think she can rub her grubby hands on your boyfriend and blink her abnormally large eyelashes at him and have him wrapped around her nasty little finger.
Youâre being harsh, but the green monster inside of you called envy is vicious, and well, Kenan is yours.
You watch with thinly veiled rage as the supposed interviewer brushes Kenanâs arms for the umpteenth time, giggling as she shuffles closer to him, and the next action makes your blood boil, pressing herself on to him.
Itâs clear to anyone, in fact even a blind man would be able to tell that your boyfriend is uncomfortable. Kenanâs face is contorted into a permanent grimace that this interviewer seems oblivious to, and from where youâre seated, you can tell that even the camera man has grown to notice the awkwardness that permeates him.
Yet no one does anything, and you feel yourself begin to frown, you canât help but think, âIs this not workplace harassment?â
Her movements carry a subtle confidence that makes you scoff, but it is evident that sheâs clearly unbothered by the lackluster response from Kenan, and seems to show no intention of backing off despite the younger manâs obvious discomfort.
You remain seated, even though you desperately want to run up across the field and rip that interviewer into shreds.
You donât want to cause a scene, but your patience snaps when she brushes away a strand of hair on Kenanâs face, whoâs grimace has now turned into a scowl. Her gaze on him is predatory and you know if it was directed at you from a man, it would make you shiver in disgust.
You stand up, marching down the bleachers and across the freshly cut grass with determination, having had enough of this absurd behaviour.
As you make your way to them, the interviewer makes eye contact with you and you notice a glimmer of smugness flash behind her eyes, but underneath it, her expression bubbles with an annoyance that infuriates you.
Her intentions are clearly anything but innocent but the smile she flashes your way seems to mimic it with expertise. Itâs so evidently fake, the sweetness on her face is overpowering and a far cry from the sultry tone sheâs had the entirety of this interview, from what youâve observed.
You have never felt more inclined to slap a person than now, but you keep yourself in check, if this girls wants to get bitchy? Well, youâll show her bitchy.
Kenanâs expression, on the other hand, brightens at your presence, but his eyes widen a little when he spots the aggression behind in your eyes. The smile on your face is as ingenuine as it gets but before he can say anything to appease you the interviewer opens her mouth.
âHey⊠We were just talking about you.â Her voice floats out and it drips with sugar, in a way that makes you want to vomit, your ears cringe as if youâre hearing nails on a chalkboard.
âOh were you now?â
âYeah I was just telling Kenan how nice it must be to have a girlfriend who doesnât seem to care about what the public thinks!â
The backhanded compliment is abrupt and strange, and youâre confused, is that really the best she could come up with?
You almost want to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
One moment this girl is boldly rubbing herself on your boyfriend and the best she can say to you is this?
Youâre about to retaliate with a response but then smirk as an idea crosses your mind.
You donât leave Kenan even a moment to blink or process the situation, even the interviewer and the Camera Man are stunned, as well as the millions of viewers watching the live stream.
Your hand reaches out to grab the collar of Kenanâs jersey, your actions reckless and abrupt, as you grab him closer and pull his head down to yours.
A gasp escapes his mouth as he stumbles a little, surprised and taken aback at your actions, but responds in kind when your lips meet his.
Kenanâs reaction makes it seem like he forgets the events that lead to this moment entirely, melting into you as you cradle his head.
It seems as if you two are lost in another world, just the two of you as everything around begins to blur. You press closer to Kenan, softly kissing him as he responds to your actions just as gently, both of you exhibiting emotion that spells love.
You move your mouth against his, trying to show your adoration to the man in front of you, forgetting the purpose of your actions in the first place as you feel his arms wrap around you.
You begin to lose yourself in his touch, his kisses have your mind feeling hazy and stars cloud your eyes as you sigh into the kiss.
Your whole form begins to turn into puddle, and your mind only seems to echo the singular thought that crosses your mind primary when heâs touching you.
Kenan. Kenan. Kenan. Kenan. Kenan. Kenan.
Like a mantra.
All you can focus on his touch, his hands, his lips, only him.
The same effect seems to reflect on him, as Kenan seems equally as dazed, kissing you fervently like a starved man, as if youâre the first drop of water in an isolated desert.
Kenan drinks you up eagerly, holding you tightly.
You only break apart at the purposeful cough from the interviewer, and you realise where you are.
It takes you a moment to gather yourself and remember what your original motives were, and then a smirk graces your swollen lips.
âIs that right Kenan? Your girlfriend doesnât care about the public eyeâ Your voice is smug and sarcastic, filled with pride and the interviewer seems embarrassed, put off by your very public display of affection and the clear response to her supposed insult.
Itâs comical to see the snobbish expression on her face be replaced by a look of mortification.
âHuhâ is the only reply he offers, and you can only smile at the boy who still seems to be processing the aftermath of your very steamy kiss.
His cheeks are flushed red and his hair is tousled. The look on his face extinguishes all your previous agitation at the moment the interviewer had touched it.
You beam at him, and itâs more than clear to perhaps the whole world now that Kenan is yours, and only you can make him feel and look like this.
You turn back to the interviewer, âOh! I mustâve gotten distracted, I just came here to say⊠wait! whatâs your name? oh nevermind, I just wanted to say I admire your confidence, walking around like that! Now is the interview done? Iâd like to⊠speak to my boyfriend about something private.â
The interviewer looks even more flustered than youâd have thought possible, and if you were a nicer person, youâd have felt the tiniest bit of sympathy, or atleast pity, for her, but all you feel is a surge of self satisfaction as you watch her mutter something about wrapping up and squaddle away from the two of you.
Once sheâs finally disappeared from your sight, you turn to Kenan, who still seems a little astonished, and you canât help the fondness in your eyes as you run your eyes over him.
He catches the look and his cheeks grow warmer, but he reaches out to cradle your hand, concern in his eyes. âAre you okay?â
Confusion rises in your eyes as you look at him, âMe? I should be asking you that, someone from a mile away could tell how uncomfortable she made you.â
Kenan shook his head, âDonât worry about me, I can handle myself, Iâm a big boy you knowâ His voice is teasing and you chuckle at him.
âSeriously though, she just wouldnât take a hint and I didnât want to be impolite.â
You shake your head at him, tugging his hand a little as the both of you begin to walk out, âI could tell, but I guess we gave her a little showâ
Kenan smiled at you, pulling you close as one of his arms comes to rest at your waist.
âOh you gave her a show alright,â He whispers affectionately, âBut iâm glad you did, I donât mind letting the world know iâm yours.â
You canât help but blush at his words, your heart flutters wildly in your chest and itâs insane how despite being together for so long, Kenan still has this effect on you.
âMhm I donât mind eitherâ Your voice takes on a coquettish edge, as you lean over, your face only inches away from his.
Kenanâs hands wrap around your hips as he grins at you.
âTrust me I know.â
âI should just post a picture of you and I and caption it the boy is mine.â

you say you think Veth should divorce, could you expand a bit on that if you don't mind? what do you see as a happy ending for her?
To be fair, "should divorce" is kind of a conditional statement. By which I mean, as it stands now, I more think Veth and Yeza need to have a serious conversation about their relationship and start having some open communication about what they both want, and then take things from there--which could end very happily for them! Or it could, theoretically, end in divorce. So, it really depends on how that hypothetical conversation might go that would determine if I actually think they need to get divorced. Tragically, that is much more nuanced and way less funny than just posting #BrenattosDivorceWatch2k24, so here we are.
As for what I think a happy ending for her would be...it's interesting, because I don't think she has an unhappy ending now. I think she is, largely, happy. I would call her ending an imperfect one, and I don't mean that in a bad way--all of Veth's potential endings were imperfect. That was the nature of her conflict in the later campaign, that no matter what she did she was losing in some aspect or another. If she keeps adventuring, she runs the risk of acting the absentee mother to Luc. If she goes home to her family, she's leaving her friends out in the cold and might not be there to help if they need her. Her story was about making a choice and living with the consequences of that choice, which was very much highlighted by her extra-marital feelings for Caleb.
And I don't mean lust here--Veth lusts a lot, famously for Sunbreaker Olomon, which she justified by saying "50/50 chance my husband's already dead, so" đ. But I mean feelings for Caleb. And I think you'll find that the vast majority of Veth stans are, if not actively on #BrenattosDivorceWatch2k24, then at least more keyed into the marital issues between Veth and Yeza than your average watcher. Because in C2, Veth had what amounted to a long-term emotional affair with Caleb that pointedly did not resolve, and you largely see the general, non-Veth stan audiences fail to acknowledge or engage with that aspect of their relationship and how that, in turn, effected her relationship with Yeza. In c2e85, Veth first hedges that she "used" to have a crush on Caleb, to which Beau replies, "You know, I kind of got that vibe before, thought there might be that feeling." Then, after c2e97, Sam outright stated Veth was frustrated with Yeza and wasn't sure she was still in love with him at all on Talks. In the early 100s, the Veth playlist dropped and confirmed she had romantic feelings for Caleb. In c2e121, Veth and Caleb have an incredibly emotional one-on-one about guilt, how much they love each other, and how much they'll miss each other when Veth leaves, where Veth tells him, "I will always love you." In c2e126, Veth sees Astrid having a breakdown after talking to Caleb and says, "Well, wouldn't you [have a breakdown] if you wanted to be with this amazing young man, and couldn't be because of circumstances tearing you apart?" and then later that same episode tells Caleb "Nothing is more important than you" (to which my good friend, upon watching with me, immediately said, "Umm???? Veth, don't you have a husband and son???").
Then, in c2e129, Luc dies. And from then on out, Veth is wholly focused on finishing out this mission and finally, permanently returning home to her family. Not that this wasn't her goal before, but it's clear that a choice has been made at this point and she's sticking with it. She's choosing her family, which was really the only choice she could make. And a consequence of this decision is that those extra-marital feelings she harbored are never discussed, never confessed to anyone (and I don't mean to Caleb here, I mean, like, to a friend), and fundamentally never resolved.
I said this before somewhere, but I don't think it was a bad choice to avoid finding resolution to this sort of thing in the campaign. It's a bit of a sensitive, awkward topic to noodle around with in your TTRPG. But I do think that lack of resolution to either Veth's frustration with Yeza's easy acceptance of whatever she does or her extra-marital feelings in general led Veth to a place of wanting. Which was always what her story was about to begin with, so there's an interesting symmetry to starting and ending with her wanting something. It was easy to name what she wanted at the start of the campaign--her body back, her life back--and much more difficult to face the idea that you may not be completely satisfied with having all that returned to you, that there's still other things to want.
Though, I actually think the Wildemount Wildlings helped her strike a great balance between the things that she wanted, adventuring and homesteading, just that it was an impermanent solution. Because she's not going to willingly resolve any issues she has with Yeza (nor Yeza with her) because Veth is a terrible communicator who will never outright tell Yeza if she's feeling this way, and Yeza is too passive to really push her into talking, so they just dance around their issues, pretending not to see them while the issues just fester and get worse. That's why I'm a #BrenattosDivorce Truther. Because i HATE indecision and dawdling and staying in a situation where you're not completely happy when it does a disservice to yourself AND your partner and THIS is why I am always the first person in the group chat to say "BREAK UP WITH HIM."
So, yeah, personally? I'd just want that potential for conflict that exists between Veth and Yeza to come to some sort of head. That's my happy ending, vague as it is. But that's far from the only way she might get resolution. Or she might get no resolution, which is as imperfect an ending as any of her options, and I'm okay with that too.
#i hope this made sense and wasn't just me vomiting veth lore at the page far too many paragraphs#asks#anon#veth brenatto#BrenattosDivorceWatch2k24

Mourning Dove
König x Reader
Chapter 1. A New Path
Masterlist
Summary: It's been nearly two months since you and Drew had fled the city for the thick, endless forest. You had escaped the infected, only to get stuck with a monster of a different kind - a selfish, abusive asshole named Drew. But you'd had enough - it was time for your plan.
Warnings: DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT, cursing, abusive behavior and speech, mentions of domestic violence, reader uses sex to her advantage but it's unwanted, so rape
âThereâs a city on the other side of the mountain.â
Silence. Nothing returned your statement other than the crunch of leaves and stones under your feet.
âIs this big enough to be a mountain? Feels too small for a hill.â
An irritated sigh.
âUnless itâs smaller than I thinkâŠâ
Nothing this time. He needs one more push.
âIf we go and check it out, there might be some suppli-â
âFor fuckâs sake!â Drew finally shouted, turning quickly on his heel and looming over you. You gripped the edges of the map you held, nearly tearing a hole through the thick paper.
âWe are not going down there! How many times do I need to beat that into your head?!â
Your eye twitched at the reminder, your body immediately tensing in preparation. Your jaw was still sore from the last time youâd unintentionally worn his patience thin. This time, however, you wanted to poke the bear. You needed him riled up and irritated, particularly at you, for your plan to work.
Play dumb. âI- I just thought- you said we were almost out of water, and I-â
âThatâs why I have the fucking water pills.â He snapped. His pupils were nearly drowned in the amber of his eyes with the weight of his anger. âAnd I showed you how to use the Lifestraw three fucking days ago. Didnât I?â
You nodded. âYeah, you- you did, Iâm sorry, I just wasnât sure if-â
âIf weâd need clean water? When weâve been following a stream for ages? And when have two fucking ways to purify the water? Hmm?!â
That was good enough. Not to mention, he seemed like heâd have no hesitation in taking a fist to your eye if you continued to babble on nonsense. You looked at the ground and mumbled an apology.
He sighed. âDonât open your mouth unless itâs something important, got it?â
âYes.â
âFuck did I just say?â
You nearly apologized again, but you stopped yourself. Unsure if he wanted a response at all, so you just stared at the rocky ground beneath your worn shoes. Tears burned on your waterline â that was unintentional, just a reflex after weeks of consequence brought by his ire.
âGood.â He growled. He turned back away from you with an annoyed sigh. âJust- keep up. Itâs not even noon.â
You looked up at the yellowed haze of cloud that completely blocked out the sun. It was a miracle he could tell what time it was; you thought heâd lost the ability when his watch had died, permanently stuck on three-o-six. Still, somehow, he was able to keep track of the hours, even though the sun hadnât shown its face since the fog came around. That was weeks ago, unfortunately. But who was to say he wasnât lying to you? You werenât savvy enough to his liking, and he certainly hadnât kept his distaste for your inexperience a secret. Either he was telling the truth, and it would be another long, agonizing day of journeying â or it was afternoon, and he was just trying to get under your skin.
Walking. Thatâs all the both of you had done since the first day, the day the virus had shown itself in the country. Drew took you deep into the woods, abandoning the car somewhere in the thicket of trees, once it had run out of gas; burying it under broken branches and smashing the windows with rocks. It could have been some kind of security measure, to make sure the car would be unusable should someone else stumble upon it, or it might have been him taking his anger out on the vehicle. But speculation was satisfying enough for you; better than getting a palm to your cheek for asking the wrong questions at the wrong time.
Then, he began walking, and you followed. A few days turned into a week, which then turned into several weeks. He never had a destination in mind, so it seemed. When you asked what the plan was, heâd answer with a simple âstay aliveâ. Something about staying on the move, and hopefully, youâd get lucky and stumble upon an abandoned shelter, with sustainable tools and foodstuffs. Youâd held onto the ridiculous pipedream for a while, before the hunger became the new normal, and the idea of bathing became a luxury â a joke. You didnât hope for anything nowadays, besides the wish that Drew would finally cut ties with you and go his separate ways.
Maybe he was right, that you couldnât survive without him. Youâd been the one holding the map since the get-go, yet you hadnât paid much attention to it. The rivers and valleys and roads had all been branded into the backs of your eyelids, but it meant nothing to you in relation to where you were now. Drew had never asked you for directions; he had his compass and a small, folded map of what you could only assume to be the earth you treaded now. He certainly didnât need you for help.
You imagined he made a split decision that day, deciding you would be worth the company, if not anything else. But as each day had passed, you felt nothing short of a leech on his back, and he never hesitated to make that known, either. You wondered what else heâd be doing, since half of his time was spent yelling at you or dragging you underneath him. Was the satisfaction of how much you let him push you around enough to drown out the annoyance of your presence? Did fucking you every night help him overlook his abhorrence to you? Or would it have been just a bit too cruel to let you end up like the others? He probably didnât care about the latter. Besides, you were sure that whatever woodland creatures remained wouldnât care if he cranked his frustrations out here and there.
âHey.â Drew called over his shoulder, noticing your furrowed brow. He never liked it when you were thinking â at least, more than any normal, stupid girl should be. âStop doing that.â
You glanced up at his back, then down at the forest floor. Your feet were sore and blistered, and you had to tread carefully, considering this was certainly your last pair of shoes. âIâm not doing anything.â
âYou know what I mean.â He snapped. His eyes darted between his map and his compass, seemingly paying you no mind. But he was always aware of what you were doing; heâd spent a little over a month alone with you in the woods. He knew the difference between your mindless dissociation and your contemplative thinking. It irked you to no end. Your thoughts should be yours, and yours alone. You didnât like being easy to read, let alone by him.
Which is why you had to be careful. You wanted to bite back, tell him to leave you alone, get lost⊠hell, youâd been holding back the desire to sink your teeth into his flesh and rip. But then youâd be just like one of those things out there, and you needed everything you could gather to remind yourself that you are, in fact, still human and sane (for the most part). Plus, you needed the plan to work. Drew was quick to anger, a fuse with a minacious, short wick. Despite that this had given you the upper hand, he wasnât stupid â heâd know if you were purposefully taking it too far. Turning the heat up underneath him too quickly could throw this entire scheme out the window. And you needed this to be perfect. It was your only chance.
So you bit your tongue, dipped your head, and followed after him. Not too closely, at least. You stayed out of reach of his fists should he decide to take his frustrations out on you.
When the sun was gracing the edge of the horizon, and the mountain was descending into a thick shadow, Drew had found a spot he deemed good enough to rest at. The turf was dry, void of any wet leaves or sludge, but it was still cold. The chill of the dirt soaked through your shoes, which were barely holding together â shame on you for deciding to wear flats on your date over a month ago, when the world had started to end â and straight into your feet. You didnât want to sit down, instead opting to shift from one foot to the other to keep your blood flowing and your legs as warm as they could be.
The space heâd chosen was better than last nightâs. A towering wall of rock stood tall, part of the mountain that was far too steep to climb. The ground was decently flat and clear; Drew mumbled that thereâd be no fire tonight, since you had mentioned that there was a city nearby, and possibly some of the infected (distance never seemed to be an issue for their senses). He dragged both of your bags under a sturdy fir that guarded the edge of the rock wall, grabbing the tarp, rope, and his knife from his pack. The temporary home would keep your backs protected, facing the drop of the mountain, so youâd only have your fronts to worry about, if anything even dared to trek up the steep incline.
He never let you help him set up camp (if you could even call it that). He had never even let you try. He wanted you to sit there and busy yourself with whatever would keep you occupied, and would help you leave him alone. He didnât like it when you stood and watched him, but you responded to his bitching by saying the ground was too cold to sit, and there was nothing for you to do. So you followed his next suggestion (more of a demand, but you liked to see the more positive aspect in things â itâs what kept you going through all of this), and went for a walk while he set up the thermal tarp for a basic shelter.
âDonât leave my line of sight.â He called out. You said you wouldnât.
Every evening, the constant fog that plagued the daytime would roll down the mountain and disappear for the night. The moon was still no clearer; the thick fir trees blocked any direct light from casting beams with their dense, unforgiving shade. Like a dream, a nightmare that you were never allowed to wake up from. A present state that you were never permitted to know the outcome of, whether you would survive all of this â or even, how long it would be before the virus took you too. In the daytime, when you should be able to see over the trees that descended down the hill, you were met with the smoggy, amber cloud of dew. At nighttime, what little sky that managed to poke through the blanket of pine needles would blend into the darkness of the forest.
The world was a snow globe, shaken up by the creator to make things interesting, and you were still waiting for the clouds of dust to settle before you could make sense of everything. This life must have been too boring for its audience, you supposed, and thatâs why you were here.
There was still no explanation for what had happened â at least, not that either of you had heard. But itâs possible that no one knew. Itâs more likely that the broadcasters had been infected at their desks before they could spread the information. There was no theory, no hypothesis. None worth wasting energy to relieve the itch in everyoneâs brains. There was only the evidence: the wailing, screaming, and shrieking, coming from the west side. The panic that held you down like an anchor when you and everyone on that street had witnessed the bite; the creatureâs teeth sinking into anotherâs throat with no sympathetic yield, the way you realized how stringy flesh really is when itâs being ripped apart.
They looked mostly human, but only in shape. Their flesh was dull, and their veins were a blackened crimson, running like poisoned roots under their skin. Broken bones nor open wounds could stop the gnashing of their teeth. The eyes were clouded with deep red, and the outlines of the iris were barely visible beneath it. It was a sharp reminder that they were people before they were infected with the virus, and an even more painful question: were they still there? Were they dead, or were they living hosts?
Eventually, Drew called you back to the camp, and you hastily returned before his anger could beat you there. You gave in and sat on the cold earth, using your knit cardigan as a buffer from the chill, while he sat under the tarp shelter.
Dinner was a protein bar split between the two of you, and it was eaten in silence. The chewy, peanut-butter-flavored granola did little to satisfy you, but it rounded the rough edge of hunger that had been pinching your stomach. The MREâs were saved for days when more energy was exerted. You only had so many of those left, and it was unlikely that there would be any more lingering in an abandoned store, if Drew ever did choose to look for more supplies.
It was an unsettling thought: one day, heâd run out of food and ways to purify the river water. His tools would break, batteries would die, clothes would wear down⊠and the both of you might not be so lucky to happen upon an untouched store. You had just been lucky that Drew carries his rucksack in the back of his car â the fact that he had the car for as long as he did was a miracle. It managed to drag you across thousands of miles of Europe, before the fuel stations had run dry. All in all, he seemed very prepared for an insane situation such as a viral apocalypse, which should have been a red flag. But considering your current position, and how you could have ended up⊠infected, you werenât opening that can of worms.
Still, it did beg the question, you thought as you chewed on the never-ending granola. Why did he bring you along?
Up until the day the world collapsed, heâd been nothing but caring and sweet. A little too eager to have you exclusively, you had thought, but who are you to underappreciate affection, wherever you can get it? A gentleman was hard to come by these days â even if Drew barely fit that mold. He was nice enough, paid for dinner the first date, took you to a movie for the second, and fucked you nice on the third. How could you complain about the minor things, when he was a good boyfriend in other aspects?
Things changed drastically when the virus had begun to spread. After witnessing a walking cadaver bite the jugular out of an innocent bystander, he had dragged you out of your shock-induced stupor and into the passenger seat of his car. He had barked orders at you, but you were too busy processing the blood and the half-dead, still-chewing corpses on the streets as you passed them. His words landed on deaf ears, so he smacked you, which then gave him your full attention. So much had happened that one day that you had brushed it off as a necessary action. He couldnât take care of two people when one of them was in shock, you reasoned. Besides that, you eventually realized how fortunate you were to have escaped in one piece with him. For all you knew, the two of you were the only ones to make it out alive â or, rather, uninfected.
But the change in his behaviour was a permanent one, you soon found out. Every day, you were reminded how much of a burden you were, how he saved your life, how grateful you should be (because apparently asking what the plan was more than once when you didnât receive an answer was very ungrateful of you), and what you would be if he hadnât brought you with him: dead. Nearly everything you said to him earned you with spit in your face and a welt somewhere on your body. If you asked him a question, his reply always came to you in a raised voice. You figured that the loss of balance and routine in his own life had driven him to this â he needed something under his control, and unfortunately, you were the only living thing within a twenty-mile radius of him. You became that something. The bird in the cage.
âYâknow I never wanted this.â
You looked at him as you chewed the last bite of the protein bar. It wasnât a new conversation, though it wouldnât have surprised you if it was. His actions had been nothing short of hateful.
âI wouldnât have brought you with me if I could help it.â
You could have. You wanted to say. You could have left me standing in the square. I would have died there and would never be your problem. But you have said this before, and all it did was land you with a bruise somewhere on the back of your head.
You didnât know if he wanted a response, but on the chance that you could make him angry, you gave one. You needed to. You needed him to be angry.
âI donât⊠I didnât exactly plan this.â
He laughed with disappointment. Apparently, youâd said the wrong thing.
You continued: âBut thank you.â Thank you for dragging me into nowhere, for bringing me along with you just to call me useless.
âAt least you know what charity is when you see itâŠâ he mumbled, chewing on the last bite of his protein bar. âYou know how far youâdâve gotten on your own?â
You kept your venom tucked away into the corners of your mind. For the plan. âI think- I would have been alright, maybeâŠâ
âYouâd be one of them.â He spat, staring into your eyes with malice. He wanted to hurt you, to keep you scruffed with your nose rubbed into the dirt. âYou canât do shit for yourself out here, even when the worldâs not on fire. Youâre pathetic, yâknow that?â
You waited to see if heâd let you off the hook, but he continued to glare at you. Slowly, you nodded your head.
âAnswer me.â
âYeah.â
âYeah?â
â⊠Iâm pathetic.â You said quietly. You might have been biting the bullet just to enact your plan, but the words dragged daggers on the inside of your cheeks as you spoke them.
He stared at you a few moments more. You wondered if he was satisfied with your admission, or if he could stand a bit more self-degrading statements from you. The hair on the back of your neck bristled under the intensity of his gaze, so you looked at the ground. A sign of submission, but hopefully one of the last ones youâd allow him.
He stood slowly, shucking his jacket off and dropping it behind him. Your gut grew uneasy as he stalked over to you; your eyes darted between his face, his expression somewhere between irate and smug, and back to the darkening woods behind him. The sun had fully descended behind the mountain now, and you were once again surrounded by the blanket of shadow. You felt a tremor building in the base of your spine as you could only assume what would happen next.
He reached his hand out and held your chin, surprisingly gently â though you still flinched. He dragged your head upwards until your eyes landed on his face. There was cruelty laced into his brown eyes, and his unkempt hair only added to the feral look about him. You knew that the lust was one of the reasons he had kept you all this time â why he brought you around in the first place, you couldnât say. But, unfortunately for you, there hadnât been much you could do to keep him at bay. It was better for you if you worked with him instead of against him; at least, thatâs what heâd told you every single time, but you had come to believe it. Still, this would be the last time youâd have to endure it.
âStupid girlâŠâ he muttered, brushing his fingers against your cheek. âYou donât know whatâs good for you, do you?â
Saying no would be too obvious â heâd know you were trying to win his approval for a reason, and you couldnât risk anything tonight. So, you continued to look up at him, letting the tears weave into your lash line.
âArenât you lucky to have someone like me?â He continued, cupping his hand over the crown of your head.
You nodded as a single tear spilled down your cheek.
âI donât like getting mad at you, I swearâŠâ no matter the meaning of his words, they continued to drip from his tongue like slime. You wanted to choke just from the sound of them. âIt just seems like you donât trust me, after all this timeâŠâ he smeared the tear against your skin until the water chilled, making you shiver. â⊠after all Iâve done for you. You donât think I know what Iâm doinâ?â
You could feel his fingers working themselves into your hair, and you squeezed your eyes shut. âIâm sorryâŠâ you said for the umpteenth time that day. âI just get worried, and- I know you tell me not to, but I canât help it.â
âI know, I knowâŠâ he murmured, his fingers clenching into the roots of your hair, making you wince and grip his calf, a silent yet timid plea for him to be gentle. âYouâre not used to this, I get that. But you gotta leave it in my hands, sweetheart.â He pulled your head back until you were looking up at the sky, making you groan painfully. âYou promise me that? You promise youâre gonna let me do what I need to do?â
âM-mhmm-â
âUse your words.â
âI promise-â you sputtered out.
âGood, goodâŠâ he said, releasing your hair. Your head dropped down and rested against his thigh. The plan. Remember the plan. You can use this.
âYou donât need to worry about what Iâm doinâ. Just tell me what you need and Iâll decide what to do, alright?â He said lowly.
âI- I want itâŠâ
âWhat do you want?â
You gritted your teeth, then forced yourself to look up at him. âI want it⊠rough, tonight.â
You heard the growl rumble through his chest, and noticed the subsequent tightening of his pants right in front of your face. It filled you with a nauseating dread, but it would only be one more night, just one more, one more time, and then itâs over-
âAll that gotcha worked up, didnât it?â he chided, folding his arms over his chest as he smirked down at you. As if this wasnât where he expected the night to go. âAll that yelling and orderinâ you around gotcha riled up, darlin'? Looks like youâre starting to know what youâre good for. How you can help, since youâre always asking.â
You didnât look up at him. It was bad enough trying to stomach yet another night of what you were trying so hard to escape. Now, for him to think that you were starting to crave it; you wanted to grab the nearest rock and bash him in the head with it. Or grab his legs and throw the both of you down the mountainside, to be done with it, once and for all. But, as easy and refreshing as that sounded, you needed this. You needed your freedom. Sacrifices had to be made to have such a thing, especially in this day and age.
You closed your eyes and pressed your cheek to his groin, feeling it stiffen and twitch from behind his pants. You tilted your head back to look up at him, wide-eyed and giving the neediest look you could. He had never been more unattractive to you than now, but the chance to escape had never been more desirable.
âPleaseâŠâ you said, reaching your other hand up to palm at his abdomen. âI can be good, I can⊠I can make up for today. I promise.â
He sighed, as though he was surrendering some part of his responsibility and morals. You knew it was a front â the only reason he wasnât forcing your face into the earth was because you werenât fighting back this time. He reached a hand down and roughly tapped your cheek a few times. You winced, but held back the urge to jerk away from him. He then rubbed the reddening spot on your cheek.
âAlright then. Show me.â
Just one more time.

August, 2009
Gojo Satoru has never felt this powerful before. It should scare him, but his veins are surging with something above human. Gold-lined arteries as bright as the sun above him. The air crackles with energy around him, a visible distortion that warps reality itself. Satoru flexes his fingers, marveling at how the world seems to bend to his will. He can feel every particle, every atom, dancing at his command. He understands now why people would compare him to a God.
He is a fucking God. Nothing could kill him. Nothing could touch him.
Heâd woken up in his own blood. Now, he stares, half-mad at the man bleeding in front of him.
âAny last words?â
Fushiguro Toji blinks back at him as if heâd just noticed the boyâs presence. Ah, a boy. Barely twenty with the world in his hands. When Toji was twenty, he was getting lashed by the Zenin elders. He doesnât have it in him right now to feel bitter. He remembers his own boy, how he shares his eyes, his mean mug.
Blessing, heâd named him.
âIn two or three years, my kid will be sold off to the Zenin clan,â Toji drawls.
Satoru raises a brow.
âDo with that what you will.â
Thereâs a hint of a smirk on his face, Satoru notices. The smallest bend of the scar adorning his mouth. Who smiles at their executioner?
Fushiguro Toji drops to the ground. Satoru only hears the buzz of cicadas and the thumping of his own heart.
Satoru stares at the fallen body, his mind reeling. The power coursing through him begins to ebb, replaced by a creeping unease. He'd expected satisfaction. Vindication. A cussing out, at least. Instead, he feels hollow.
He kneels beside the manâs body, searching for answers in the manâs lifeless face. Itâs as if Fushiguroâs face has a permanent hint of a smirk. Either that or Satoru imagines the final act of defiance. Satoru's eyes remain fixed on Toji's lifeless form, the man's final words echoing in his mind. A child. Sold to the Zenin clan. The implications slowly sink in, piercing through the haze of his newfound power.
"Fuck," he mutters, running a hand through his white hair.
The cicadas continue their relentless chorus, indifferent to the life just extinguished. Satoru's gaze drifts to the horizon, where the sun hangs low, painting the sky in hues of orange and red. It reminds him of Suguru, of Riko. Of you. Of promises made and broken.
He closes his eyes, trying to steady his breathing. When he opens them again, resolve hardens his features. He may be a god among men, but he's not above the weight of consequence. Not anymore.
He takes a step back, suddenly aware of the blood on his hands, on his clothes. The metallic scent fills his nostrils, making him nauseous. The world that had bent to his will moments ago now feels oppressively still.
The sun beats down mercilessly, and Satoru realizes he's been standing there for far too long. He needs to move, to report, to do something. But the thought of Toji's child nags at him, an irritating itch he can't scratch.
The summer heat presses down on the boy-god, suffocatingly so. He stands, wiping blood from his hands onto his slacks. The divine feeling from moments ago is distant now. Only human uncertainty lingers.
__
Satoru has dreams about the human with the scar splitting the side of his lip. Itâs always the same â Fushiguroâs final words, his entire side blown to bits from Satoruâs hand. Satoru feels nothing until the man speaks. He always says something different, but itâs more or less the same.
â Any last words?
â Last words? Kid, I've been dead since the day I was born.
â You don't get it, do you? I could unmake you without a thought. I could rewrite reality itself.
â You really are a cocky bastard. What would that prove, huh? That youâre special?Â
Toji coughs blood onto the ground. Itâs a wet, rattling sound.
â I used to envy power like yours. Now I know that I was better off a monkey. Power like that curses you. Itâll eat you alive, boy.
â I was born this way.
â Take some advice from a dead man walking, then. Don't let that power define you. It's a tool, not your soul.
How absurd. Power is all that Satoru has. Yet, something in Tojiâs words strikes a chord.
â Why should I give a shit what you say?
â Maybe you shouldnât. Maybe Iâm suffering from blood loss.Â
After every dream, Toji dies before he speaks again. Each time Satoru wakes up in a panic, he remembers the phantom of two faces. A frail girl and a sullen boy with sharp eyes.
October, 2011
âYou gotta like⊠divide it. You know?â
âHuh?â
Satoru frowns at the worksheet in front of him. Despite being at the top of his class his whole life, he never really cared about academia. He aced everything that was important, and then the information was lost in him. Math was easy, sure, but he didnât know how to explain it properly to an eight-year-old.
âLook,â he says, pointing to the numbers. âSee how this number on top is bigger? That makes it an improper fraction.â
âYeah?â Megumi replies, bored.
âSo, we gotta divide the big one by the little one to get the mixed fraction.â
âBut it doesnât divide evenlyâŠâ
âYeah, so you kind of just⊠uh, put the leftovers in the fraction part. Next to the whole number.â
Megumi frowns, probably about to complain about Satoruâs lack of teaching instinct, when Shoko walks in. She pauses, a cigarette in her mouth, and flashes Satoru a confused look.
Satoru waves her off with a dismissive hand, turning his attention back to Megumi. The boy's intense green eyes are fixed on the paper, brow furrowed in concentration. For a moment, Satoru sees a flash of Toji in that expressionâthe same stubborn determination.
"Okay," Megumi says slowly, pencil hovering over the page. "So... seven divided by two is three with one left over?"
"Exactly," Satoru nods, a hint of pride creeping into his voice. "So you write it as 3 1/2."
Megumi scribbles down the answer, then looks up at Satoru expectantly. "Is that right?"
"Perfect," Satoru grins, ruffling the boy's hair. Megumi scowls and ducks away, but there's a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes.
Shoko clears her throat, reminding them of her presence. She exhales a cloud of smoke.
âYo. You babysitting now?â
âHey, donât light up in front of the kids.â
âSince when do you babysit?â she narrows her eyes. âItâs not like you need the moneyââ
âHold on, Megs,â Satoru interrupts. The boy happily ignores him, immediately opening Satoruâs Gameboy Advance while Satoru drags her into the nearby bedroom.
After he finishes his spiel, she looks at him with disbelief.Â
âWhat the fuckââ
âNo swearing, either.â
She scoffs. âYou canât just kidnap some kids. Donât they have any relatives that can take them in?â
âUh, yeah. The Zenin clan,â he mutters, keeping his voice low with the door open. He looks over at Megumi on the couch, whose brows are furrowed as he plays his game. In many ways, he really was the spitting image of his father, baring the same teeth ready to snarl. Wounded pup ready to bite. Of course, he was cut from that same Zenin rib.Â
Satoru sighs. Tsumiki appears, hair disheveled from her nap, and tugs on his sleeve.Â
âMister Gojo?â
âYeah, sweetheart? And you donât have to call me that.â
Her stomach growls before she can speak. Â
Shit, he forgot to run to the store to buy more food. Shoko looks at him flatly, knowing full well that he eats like the typical university student despite having the money to get whatever organic shit they sell at the overpriced health food stores.Â
âAunt Shoko can take you out. You want a burger or something?â
He gives Shoko a pleading look, to which she rolls her eyes. âCâmon, kid.â
Shoko takes Tsumiki's hand, leading her towards the door. "Let's go, kiddo. We'll grab something for your brother too."
As they leave, Satoru collapses onto the couch next to Megumi, who's still engrossed in the game. He watches the boy's fingers move deftly over the buttons, his face a mask of concentration.
"You're pretty good at that," Satoru comments.
Megumi shrugs without looking up. "S'okay."
Satoru leans back, closing his eyes for a moment. The weight of his decision to take in these kids is starting to sink in. He's barely an adult himself, and now he's responsible for two lives. Two very complicated lives, given their connection to the Zenin clan. A pair of strays.
Megumi pouts as he button-smashes, ultimately losing a level. Itâs almost endearing to Satoru, who sees himself in the boy in moments like these. Still, the ghost of Fushiguro still weighs on his shoulders whenever he looks at Megumiâs haunting green eyes. Itâs like pieces of jagged glass, quick flashes of a mirrored history.
Satoru's mind wanders to you again as he watches Megumi struggle with the game. He imagines your gentle hands guiding the boy's fingers over the buttons, your patient voice explaining the intricacies of the game mechanics. You always had a way of breaking things down, making the complex simple and approachable. It was one of the things he loved most about you.
__
Satoru never really has an answer whenever Shoko asks why he decided to take the kids in. Your voice is in the back of his head, calling him selfish. Itâs ironic, considering you could take partial credit for taking care of Satoru by simply being there. He was always a spoiled brat and he knew it himself.
His mind is always on you, but as the weeks pass, the thought of you is like a parasite on his brain. Youâd be much better at handling the kids than him â hell, it was enough that you had to put up with Satoruâs childish antics when you grew up together.
Maybe he could convince Utahime to return and drag you along. She had always had something maternal about her. It was the way that she nagged and doted on others, the way sheâd often beg Shoko to stop smoking, to which Shoko would actually listen (occasionally, for weeks at a time, until she found herself in an unexplainable manic depression again and again).
And you would adore little Megumi, who had the same sarcastic streak as you. Tsumiki would love you, too. She needed a role model that wasnât Shoko, who often evaded responsibility of the kids by reminding Satoru that she never signed up for it, plus she was serving as something of a mentor for some underclassmen rookies at the morgue.Â
Satoru's thoughts drift back to you, to the last time he saw you. The memory is etched in his mind, a bittersweet tableau of what once was and what could have been. Your eyes, usually so warm and inviting, had been cold that day, filled with a mixture of disappointment and something else he couldn't quite place. Hurt, perhaps? Or was it resignation?
It was a miracle youâd kissed him at all, even with the dry streaks of tears on your face. He remembered how hot his chest had felt just from something as chaste as your lips pressing against his. It was almost pathetic.
The memory of the kiss taunts him, a ghost of tenderness in the chaos of his new reality. What the fuck was he thinking, playing a father to these kids? Or an older brother of some sorts. Regardless, he wasnât qualified. Not in the slightest.
In idle moments, Satoru finds himself absently touching his lips, as if he can still feel the trace of your goodbye. He shakes his head, trying to dispel the sensation that lingers on him like a second skin.
He canât complain about being touch-starved. Not when he has two kids who were alone for God knows how long.
He remembers the way you'd explain things to him when you were younger, your eyes lighting up with excitement as you unraveled the mysteries of the world. How different would Megumi's math lesson have been if you were here? You'd probably have some clever analogy involving shogi pieces or trading cards, something that would click instantly in the boy's mind.
He tries to ignore the pang of longing in his chest. Things were so much easier when you were kids.
He can still feel your laughter. Itâs imprinted in his brain, the way it would bubble up from your chest and come out all airy. He remembers the way your eyes crinkled around the corners when you laughed, the way your hands would gesture wildly when lecturing him.
He thinks about each time he saw you before the last time. Your eyes dragged down by hurt, face turning away to hide it. No matter what he said, the space between you would grow into a chasm. He wonders what youâre doing now, if you ever think of him the way he thinks of you â constantly, achingly.
The warmth of summer is the only thing that keeps him grounded. He lets Tsumiki decorate his apartment with plants she chooses at the farmerâs market â the scent of blooming jasmine and mint wafting all over his living room. It reminds him of the perfume you used to wear.
August is as slow as molasses. Sometimes it feels easy.
September, 2011
Satoru's apartment feels emptier without his towering presence, the silence broken only by the soft rustling of Tsumiki watering her plants and Megumi's quiet muttering as he plays his games. The potted plants Tsumiki lovingly tends to seem to droop, as if sensing Satoruâs absence. The late summer heat clings stubbornly to the city, but there's a hint of autumn in the air.
Satoru had left three days prior. He was alone in his house plenty of times when he was nine years old â this was his logic for leaving Tsumiki âin charge.â
"I'll be back soon," he had promised, ruffling Megumi's hair. The boy scowled but didn't pull away. "Remember the rules. Don't open the door for anyone. There's food in the fridge. And if anything happensâ"
"Call Shoko," Tsumiki finished, her voice soft but steady.
Satoru nodded, a lump forming in his throat. He'd never left them alone for more than a day before. But this mission... it was too dangerous to bring them along, and too important to postpone.
Since his departure, the apartment starts to feel cavernous without Satoruâs larger-than-life presence. A storm brews over Tokyo, which leaves Tsumiki to slam all the windows closed in paranoia. She checks the locks every hour.
âYouâre being dramatic,â Megumi huffs.
âNo, Iâm not,â Tsumiki frowns. Sheâs overprotective over Megumi, whoâs usually occupied by Satoruâs brand new Nintendo 3DS, which came with dozens of games that he knowingly bought to occupy the boy.
It rains heavily that night, then the next. On the third night, the sky is eerily yellow, fading into a burgundy by dusk. Blood moon. Megumi and Tsumiki are huddled on the couch, the Nintendo dead and forgotten on the coffee table. Despite there not being rain, the weather outside is windy enough to blow the power out. Outside, the wind howls, rattling the windows with an odd persistence.
Itâs as if something had changed in the atmosphere entirely. The shadows feel deeper than usual, if that was possible. Megumi feels it first, a prickling sensation at the base of his skull.
His stomach growls. Thereâs no way to heat up leftovers, goddammit. As he steps out towards the pantry, Tsumikiâs favorite jasmine plant withers before his eyes, its vibrant green leaves turning black and crumbling to dust.
Something is terribly wrong.
The air grows heavy, thick with an unseen presence. The shadows in the corners of the room seem to writhe and stretch, reaching out with inky tendrils. A low, guttural growl emanates from somewhere beyond the walls. Thereâs a scratching at the door, soft at first, then growing more insistent. Megumi's eyes widen, his hand instinctively reaching for Tsumiki's.
Megumi's heart races as he recognizes the telltale signs of a cursed spirit manifesting. He'd seen it before, back when...
He shakes the memory away, focusing on protecting Tsumiki.Â
"It's probably just a cat," Tsumiki whispers, but her voice trembles.
The scratching stops, replaced by a low, guttural growl that sends chills down their spines. This is no cat.
Megumi springs into action, dragging Tsumiki towards Satoru's room. They barricade the door with a dresser, their hearts pounding in their ears.
"We need to call someone," Tsumiki says, her voice barely audible over the sound of splintering wood from the living room.
âW-Weâre fine,â Megumi huffs nervously. His Divine dogs are braced for danger and both double his size. Itâs fine, he tells himself.
âGojo said you canât use your technique yet. Itâs too dangerous.â
âWell, someone has to protect us around here!â
âDonât,â Tsumiki warns. âLetâs just call Shoko.â
Megumi rolls his eyes, fumbling for the emergency phone Satoru left them. His fingers shake as he scrolls through the contacts. Shoko's name is there, but something makes him pause. Another number catches his eye, labeled simply "Last Resort."
Without thinking, he presses call.
The phone rings once, twice, three times. Each second feels like an eternity as the shadows in the room seem to pulse and grow.
Finally, a click.
âHello?â
"Please," Megumi chokes out, terror making his voice crack. "We need help. Gojo's gone and there's something in the apartment andâ"
âWhoa, slow downââ
Tsumiki takes the phone frantically.
âPlease,â she whispers, her voice trembling. âSomething's wrong, thereâs something outside, and Mister Gojo isn't here, and we found your number, andâ"
âHey,â you whisper softly. âJust relax a second. Who is this?â
"I'm Tsumiki," she says, her voice steadying slightly at the calm in your tone. âIs⊠is Shoko there?â
âNo⊠Iâm a friend of hersââ
âMister Gojo is away,â Tsumiki interrupts. âWeâre supposed to call Shoko if anything happens, but my brother Megumi called your number insteadââ
A low, rumbling growl cuts through the air, causing both children to freeze. Megumi's eyes widen as he sees something move in the shadows, something with too many limbs and eyes that gleam with malevolent hunger.
"What was that?" you ask, your voice sharp with concern.
"There's something here," Megumi says, taking the phone from his sister. "Something... not normal. The shadows are moving, andâ"
Another growl, closer this time. Tsumiki lets out a small whimper, pressing close to her brother. Megumi's head snaps up, green eyes narrowing as he listens intently.
"Megumi?" Tsumiki whispers, voice trembling slightly.
He holds up a hand, signaling for quiet.
Megumi's mind races. Satoru had drilled them on what to do in emergencies, but faced with the reality of the situation, panic threatened to overwhelm him. He grabs Tsumiki's hand, pulling her towards Satoru's bedroom.
"Hide," he hisses, shoving her towards the closet. "Don't come out no matter what."
"Megumi, don't!" Tsumiki shrieks, but he ignores her, peering around the corner.
Megumi peers out into the empty. The looming darkness is filled with whispers that he isn't sure are in his head or not. Thereâs a crash outside and his heart races â is someone trying to break in?
He rushes back to Tsumiki and hides in the closet with her, the phone muffling your voice as he shoves it in his pocket.
âWhatâs going on?â you demand.
âShhh,â Megumi whispers.
His heart pounds as he and Tsumiki huddle in the closet. The darkness seems alive, pulsing with malevolent energy. A foul odor seeps under the door â rotting flesh mixed with sulfur.
Through the crack of the closet door, Megumi sees it. Tsumiki bites her lip to stifle a scream.
Standing before them is a grotesque creature, its body a writhing mass of shadows and tentacles. It's barely humanoid, its body a writhing mass of shadows and teeth. Multiple yellow eyes blink at random across its form. A gaping maw lined with needle-sharp teeth stretches open, dripping black ichor. Tendrils of inky blackness slither across the floor, probing every corner of the room. Where they touch, the carpet withers and disintegrates.
A face emerges from the writhing mass - if it can be called a face at all. It's a nightmarish patchwork of mismatched features, eyes blinking open and closed at random across its surface. A mouth stretches impossibly wide, revealing row upon row of needle-sharp teeth.
Megumi's breath catches in his throat. This is something far worse than an intruder â a cursed spirit, the kind Satoru had warned them about but never fully explained.
The spirit pauses, its grotesque head swiveling towards the closet. Megumi's blood runs cold as dozens of eyes focus on their hiding spot. He knows, with bone-deep certainty, that they've been found.
Megumi's mind races. He knows he shouldn't use his technique, but what choice does he have? As the creature reaches for them with elongated, clawed fingers, Megumi summons every ounce of courage he has.
"Divine Dogs!" he shouts, his voice cracking.
Two massive, spectral hounds materialize, their fur crackling with otherworldly energy. They lunge at the shadow creature, tearing into it with ethereal fangs. The being shrieks, a sound that makes the windows rattle and the children's ears ring.
Just as the dying spirit lunges toward them, the bedroom door explodes inward. A familiar figure lands in a crouch, cigarette dangling from her lips. A familiar figure lands in a crouch, cigarette dangling from her lips.
"What the fuck," she mutters, before springing into action. âGet back, kiddo!â
Megumi panics and turns to see Tsumiki shaking in the corner, his heart leaping with adrenaline. Immediately, he covers her as a shield once he realizes that the cursed spirit is regenerating its limbs.
"Hey, ugly," Shoko drawls, flicking ash onto the carpet.
The spirit whirls to face her, letting out an ear-splitting shriek. Shoko doesn't flinch. Her hands move in a blur, tracing intricate patterns in the air. Blue light crackles between her fingers, and the temperature in the room plummets.
"Megumi, Tsumiki," she calls out, not taking her eyes off the spirit. "Cover your ears and close your eyes. Now!"
The children obey without hesitation. Even with their eyes squeezed shut, they see the flash of brilliant light through their eyelids. The spirit's shriek cuts off abruptly, replaced by an odd sucking sound, like air being pulled through a too-small vent.
With a final, ear-splitting shriek, the creature implodes, leaving nothing but a fading wisp of darkness and dark purple blood.
"You kids okay?" Shoko asks, her usual nonchalance tinged with genuine concern.
Megumi nods shakily, helping Tsumiki to her feet.
"How did you know to come?" Tsumiki asks, her voice barely above a whisper.
Shoko's eyes narrow when she hears a tinny voice. "What is that?â
In the sudden silence, Megumi becomes aware of the voice still coming from the phone in his pocket. His eyes widen when he remembers. He fumbles with the phone, putting it on speaker.
Shoko immediately recognizes your voice. She snatches the phone from Megumi's grasp.
"What's happening?" you yell, your voice tinny and distant.
"They're safe," she says, her tone clipped. "I've got them."
"Shoko?" you gasp. "What the hell is going on? Where's Satoru?"
Shoko sighs, running a hand through her hair. "It's a long story. He's on a mission."
"A mission? And he left two children alone?" The anger in your voice is palpable. "What the fuck?â
Shoko takes a long drag from her cigarette, her eyes darting between the kids and the phone.
âYou know how he is,â she mutters, avoiding their gazes now.
"Look, I've got this under control. You don't need toâ"
"Under control? Are two children getting attacked what you call fucking under control?â
Megumi and Tsumiki exchange glances, sensing the tension even through the phone line. Shoko sighs, her usual sardonic demeanor slipping for a moment.
"They weren't supposed to be alone," she mutters. "I was meant to check in, but..." She trails off, guilt etched on her face.
"But what?" you press, your voice sharp.
"I got held up at work. A bad case. I lost track of time."
There's a moment of heavy silence. When you speak again, your voice is quieter, but no less intense. "So youâre at his apartment now? He has an apartment? How are the kids?"
"Obviously he does â heâs rich⊠anyways, thatâs not the point," Shoko huffs, glancing around the disheveled room. "The kids are okay, just shaken up."
"I'm coming over," you say firmly. "Text me the address."
"Wait, from Kyoto? I don't think that's a good â" Shoko starts, but you've already hung up.
Shoko stares at the phone for a moment, then turns to the children. Megumi is watching her with those unnervingly intense eyes, while Tsumiki seems to be on the verge of tears.
"Alright, kids," Shoko says, stubbing out her cigarette. "Let's get this place cleaned up before our guest arrives. And maybe... maybe don't mention the whole cursed spirit thing to them, okay?"
Megumi nods solemnly, but Tsumiki speaks up, her voice trembling. "Who was that? On the phone?"
Shoko hesitates, choosing her words carefully. "An old friend. Someone who cares about you two, even if they don't know you yet."
She gives a wry smile and surveys the destruction of the apartment â a shattered window, scorched walls, blood on the carpet. Luckily, itâs all replaceable, but she knows that Satoru will whine about the damage despite the fact that he should be blamed for leaving two elementary schoolers alone in the first place. Ironically, the worst damage to him will be whatever words you have for him once you get back to Tokyo. She almost laughs at the idea.
The night wears on, the silence broken only by Shoko's cleaning and the distant sounds of the city. She puts the kids to bed as she cleans, eventually passing out on the couch.
Hours later, when the first hints of dawn begin to color the sky, thereâs a knock at the door. Shoko wakes up and tenses. She immediately senses Tsumiki in the corner, the damn early bird. Her big eyes watch her curiously.
âItâs okay,â Shoko calls to her. âItâs probably⊠our, uh, guest.â
She opens the door, revealing a figure silhouetted. Tsumiki cranes her neck to get a better look.
You enter the room, your eyes immediately scanning for threats before settling on Tsumiki. Your expression softens.
The air in the apartment feels charged, the earlier supernatural encounter leaving a macabre energy. The residuals are everywhere. Theyâre suffocating. You can taste the metallic tang of blood in the air. Itâs faint but present.Â
âWhat⊠the fuck happened?â
âJust a.. break in?â Shoko says sheepishly. She isnât sure if that sounds better or worse than a supernatural entity.
You stare long and hard at the dried blood on the carpet. A cursed spirit.
âWhy in the world would the kids attract a curse that big? Was it a special grade?â
âNo, no,â Shoko sighs and shakes her head. âA Grade 2 at best. The kids were just spooked. Theyâve probably never seen anything like that before.â
You pause, narrowing your eyes.
âAre you going to explain to me why Satoru is housing two children despite not even being able to stay with them?â
Shoko glances at her phone, which somehow managed to get shattered in the chaos prior. The screen glows 6:23 am. She sighs.
âSit down. Iâll make some coffee.â
__
Satoru is barely awake when he returns to the apartment two days later. His hair is disheveled, the bluish veins underneath in his eyes more prominent underneath his nearly translucent skin. As he approaches the door, he senses something different â cursed energy thatâs vaguely familiar. His heart skips a beat.
Something is wrong, but there is also a presence that is rather⊠comforting behind the door. He canât quite place the energy. His stomach flips. He pauses, hand hovering over the doorknob, before taking a deep breath and stepping inside.
The sight that greets him stops him in his tracks. There you are, standing in his living room, your eyes blazing with a fury he hasn't seen in years. The sunlight streaming through the windows catches the highlights in your hair, creating a halo effect that makes you look almost ethereal. For a moment, Satoru forgets to breathe.
He freezes completely. It has only been two months since heâd last seen you, yet youâre more beautiful than ever. Youâre here. In his apartment, in the flesh. Youâre real and solid and so achingly familiar that it makes his heart clench.
âY/N,â he breathes. Something in you aches when you hear your name from his mouth instead of Twigs.
Before he gets another word in, you launch into a tirade that would make lesser men cower.
âWhat the hell were you thinking, Satoru?" Your voice is low and dangerous, each word sharp as a blade. "Leaving two children alone in an apartment? Do you have any idea what could have happened? What did happen?"
Satoru opens his mouth to respond, but you cut him off with a raised hand. Your words come out in a torrent, each one hitting him like a physical blow.
âNo, you donât get to speak right now. I donât care if the higher-ups threatened an execution on you if you didnât take whatever fucking mission you went on! A Grade 2 was here, Satoru. With two defenseless children.â
You're pacing now. Your hair whips around your face as you turn, and Satoru is mesmerized by the way the morning light catches in it.
âAnd what's this about you taking in two kids, anyway? Since when are you qualified to be a guardian? You can barely take care of yourself! You thought you could do this on your own and have Shoko play babysitter knowing she works her ass off at the morgue? What were you thinking?"
As you continue, gesticulating wildly, Satoru feels a mix of emotions swirling within him. Guilt, certainly, for the danger he'd inadvertently put Megumi and Tsumiki in. Concern for their wellbeing. But underlying it all is a current of... something else.
Your passion, your righteous anger on behalf of the children - it stirs something in him. The way your eyes flash, the way your voice rises and falls with emotion, the way your body moves as you pace and gesture - it's intoxicating.
Satoru knows he should be ashamed, should be apologizing, explaining. But a part of him - a part he's not proud of - is thrilled by your anger. It makes heat pool in his stomach. It means you care. It means you still feel something for him, even if it's fury.
He should be focusing on your words, on the valid points you're making. But part of him is lost in the way your lips form each syllable, the way your hair falls across your face as you shake your head in disbelief.
"Are you even listening to me?" you demand, snapping him back to attention.
"Every word," he murmurs, his voice low and husky.
You falter for a moment, caught off guard by the intensity of his gaze. Then you continue to rally against him, launching into yet another tirade, and despite the passionate cadence of your voice that he loves so very much, he canât help but have that fade into the background as he stares at you. Your presence alone is starting to make him feel dizzy.
He's vaguely aware that he should be defending himself, but he can't bring himself to interrupt. Instead, he drinks in the sight of you, cataloging every detail. The way your brow furrows when you're particularly upset. The slight tremble in your hands as you wave them around.
As you continue to berate him, Satoru finds himself fighting the urge to pull you close, to silence your anger with his lips. The thought shocks him - he shouldn't be thinking like this, not when you're rightfully furious with him. But he can't help it.Â
Youâre still pacing, not even really looking at him as you go on about how fucking stupid he is, and how childish, which somehow progresses into you rambling about one time a few years ago when you were sick at his house during a winter break and he had managed to start a fire while attempting to make soup for you, because thatâs how fucking stupid he is.Â
You donât even notice him stalking towards you until he takes your arms in his hands, steeling his grip on you so that he can kiss you square on the mouth. You whine petulantly, pushing him away. He feels a strike on his right cheek that is⊠well-deserved, honestly.
Your mind reels. Youâre not one for being physical besides sparring, but youâve never hit Satoru in your life. Part of you feels guilty for a millisecond. Part of you is surprised that he let you through his Infinity.
âIâ What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you always do that? You do that literally every time we have a fightââ
âIâm sorry,â he breathes. âI deserved that slap.â
âNo shit,â you grit. âThis isnât fucking funny, Satoru. Do you even take me seriously?â
âYes. You can slap me again if you donât believe me. Punch me all you want.â
âOkay, donât make it weird,â you mutter.
âWhat?â he frowns sheepishly.
You narrow your eyes. âI know youâre turned on right now.â
âWhaâ I am not.â
âYou are the most infuriating man I have ever had the displeasure of meetingââ
âIâm sorry,â he interrupts. His voice is earnest. âI really amââ
âDo not interrupt me,â you hiss.Â
Yes, maâam, he murmurs in his head. He lets you yell at him a bit more until youâre particularly out of breath. His gaze on you is still intense, slightly wanton, and once you finish your ranting, you fidget awkwardly at his commanding presence.
Itâs now that you start to see him â although youâd seen him on Tanabata, it was brief and night. In the context of his apartment (you knew he could always afford one but didnât understand why he never just lived off campus before), and the fact that he has a blooming bruise below his jaw, you realize that heâs grown. His features have sharpened. His eyes look tired, his hands more calloused.
You shake away those observations to focus on how livid you are.
âDo you have anything to say?â you snap.
âI really am in love with you,â he mutters. Your eyes widen.Â
Before you can react, the door opens, revealing Shoko and the kids. Tsumiki, ever oblivious to the tension, lights up at the sight of Gojo and runs to hug him. Megumiâs curious eyes dart between the both of you.Â
âGojo-san! Youâre back!â Tsumiki beams.
Satoru's eyes widen as Tsumiki barrels into him, wrapping her small arms around his waist. For a moment, his gaze flicks between you and the little girl clinging to him, his expression a mix of tenderness and uncertainty.
He bends down to hug the little girl, ruffling her hair affectionately.
"Hey kiddo, I missed you. Were you good while I was gone?"
Tsumiki nods eagerly. "Uh-huh! We made new friends!"
Satoru raises an eyebrow, glancing at you. "Oh really?"
"Mhm! Miss Y/N is so nice! She made us pancakes yesterday and helped me water all my plants."
A soft smile tugs at Satoru's lips as he looks at you. "Is that so?"
You feel your cheeks heat up under his gaze. "Someone had to make sure they were fed," you mutter.
Megumi hovers in the doorway, eyeing Satoru warily. "Where were you?" he demands.
Satoru sighs, standing up. "The mission took a bit longer than expected.â
"You said you'd be back soon," Megumi accuses. "It's been days."
"I know, I'm sorry," Satoru says, looking genuinely remorseful. "I didnât want to be away for so long. But I'm back now, and I promise I won't leave you guys like that again."
Megumi nods curtly, seemingly satisfied for now. Shoko clears her throat. "Well, now that the gang's all here, how about some breakfast? We picked up a lot of groceries."
As everyone moves towards the kitchen, Satoru hangs back, catching your arm gently. "Hey, can we talk? Please?"
You hesitate, torn between your lingering anger and the earnestness in his eyes. Finally, you nod. "Fine. But not now. After breakfast."
Satoru nods, relief evident on his face. "Thank you."
The kitchen is a whirlwind of activity as Shoko attempts to make French toast (with questionable success) while the kids chatter. You find yourself watching Satoru, the way he interacts with the children. There's a gentleness there you've never seen before, a protective instinct that makes your heart ache.
As you all sit down to eat, Tsumiki regales Satoru with tales of your kindness, how you taught her to braid her hair and helped Megumi with his homework. Satoru listens intently, his eyes never leaving your face. You flush under his gaze, embarrassed. Youâd only been around for maybe two days to allow Shoko to rest and you were already getting praised so heavily by a nine-year-old.
"Sheâs the best!" Tsumiki declares through a mouthful of pancake. "Can she stay with us forever?"
Satoru chokes on his coffee, while you nearly drop your fork. "Ah, well," Satoru stammers, "That's... complicated, sweetie."
"Why?" Megumi pipes up, his sharp eyes darting between you and Satoru. âShe should stay. She helped me beat Chocolate Island on Super Mario.â
âWell⊠Y/N is just visiting. Sheâs visiting from Kyoto.â
Your heart sinks at the sight of Tsumikiâs pout.
âI can stay for a little bit,â you interject. Satoru and Shoko look at you with surprise. Shokoâs raised brows falter as her expression turns into one of amusement.
âYou should sleep in the guest room that I was sleeping in. I only use it when I have to stay overnight, anyway,â Shoko smirks. You blink at her, your eyes silently telling her to stop talking.
âYeah! You should stay with us! Itâs nice having a girl around,â Tsumiki chirps. âPleaaaase?â
âIâ Iâll have to check with the school. I still have classes and work on the Kyoto campusâŠâ you say sheepishly.
âBut you wonât leave today, right?â Megumi asks.
You smile softly. âNo, sweetheart, Iâm not leaving today.â
Satoru lets out a breath of relief that he didnât realize he was holding in. The kids drop the subject, easily distracted by Shoko telling a story about an incident in the morgue with her underclassmen. While the kids squeal at the more⊠grotesque details of her story, you and Satoru exchange glances.
You can't help but feel that something fundamental has shifted. The Satoru you knew - reckless, carefree, seemingly invincible - has been replaced by someone more complex, more human. More vulnerable. The air between you feels charged, electric with lingering conflict.
"Hey," Satoru murmurs, his voice low and urgent. "About what I saidâ"
"Not now," you cut him off, your voice sharper than you intended.
Satoru nods, a flicker of somethingâdisappointment? Relief?âcrossing his face. "Later, then."
He moves on, immediately turning into his goofy, charismatic self as he engages in conversation.
And as much as you want to hold onto your anger, a part of you is intrigued by this new version of him. He had always been a bit immature and arrogant. He often didnât take things seriously, but Satoru in the presence of children was something else. He was an accountable man, in more ways than beyond saving others from cursed spirits. A man who takes in orphaned children, who looks at you with such raw vulnerability in his eyes.
You take a deep breath, steeling yourself for whatever comes next. Whatever this is - whatever Satoru has gotten himself into - you're now irrevocably a part of it. And despite everything, a small voice in the back of your mind whispers that maybe, just maybe, that's not such a bad thing after all.

I'm a persecutor.
I know it's easier to ignore us, to lock us away. We're the ugly parts of you, after all. The parts of you that you wish never existed, that you don't want anyone else to see. The parts that try to hurt people and hurt you for whatever reason. I get it, it's really fucking frustrating to deal with us.
Sorry pal, but we exist. Trying to ignore us just makes our pain stronger. Trying to punish us keeps makes us want want to hurt you back. Trying to lock us away make our emotions grow more and more. You can't get rid of us. We're you, even if you wish we weren't.
And that means you gotta deal with us.
Yeah, I get it. You don't want us causing you trouble in your oh-so-perfect life. Ruining your friendships, your school, your job, your reputation. You think by getting rid of us you're dealing with us. Stop it.
Please, stop it.
It hurts, so fucking much. Don't you see why we exist? We're the parts of you who went through some of the worst traumas of the system. We act this way because it's what fucking got us through life. To survive. You probably don't see it that way, hell you probably don't even remember the things I had to go through. And I may not either! But I still exist. And if you push me away, that means you're rejecting a part of you.
Even if you see me as a separate person or a separate entity, at the end of the day.... we share a brain. A life. Am I not allowed to live my own fucking life with you? Do I not deserve the same kind of help? Hell, if you want selfish reasons, helping me, genuinely, trying to be kind to me, will help you. Maybe I'll actually try to work with you instead of against you. Or maybe I'll even just leave you alone! Or, or, get this. I change for the better, and I start trying to help out instead of doing damage. Yeah? Sounds nice, right?
I'm so sick and tired of people saying how it's okay to lock up their persecutors and punish them. No! Stop that! Punishment doesn't work. Yes, we should have consequences for our actions that are a direct result of our behaviors. I was shitty to a friend? I lose the trust of that friend. I hurt the body? I have to sit with the pain myself. But that's not fucking, locking us away forever.
I mean, sure. I get it. Sometimes we're out of control and you need some way to get that control back under your belt. And yeah, maybe you need to temporarily keep us away from front and away from other alters. But.... it really, really shouldn't be permanent. We also deserve to learn healthier behavior and healthier coping habits and a safe space to express ourselves. Fuck, if you could help us find healthier ways of expression that would be great!
Just please, please. Stop hurting us the same way we were hurt as kids.

Fragile Part 5
Another fluff chapter! Gonna be getting to the juicy angst after this đâš
Generation: Bayverse TMNT
Tmnt x Reader Fanfic
Pronouns: Gender Neutral (except âdudetteâ and âprincessâ)
Warnings: wholesome, not proof read
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
âšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâš
âOf course!!! The somatic consequences of their hyperactive stress caused a delayed growth! Their adrenal glands had been over active the whole time they were in captivity, leading to hypertension and extreme exhaustion.â
âUse real words brainiac.â Raph grunted.
âWell, basically after they had enough rest and worked through all their pent up stress, they were able to control their adrenaline response. Thatâs how they were able to naturally trigger their mutation gene! Fascinating.â
âSo uuuuh, what does that mean?â Mikey added helpfully.
âIt means that Stockmanâs mutation experiment worked, and we need to ensure that he never finds that out. Who knows what Karai and the Foot would do with that kinda power?â Leo interjected.
âSince Stockman is distilling diluted mutagen from Bebop and Rocksteadyâs blood, the effect of a successful animal mutation is highly unlikely. From the information I gathered from his experiments overseas, it appears that only 2% of his test subjects had permanent animal mutations. So the statistical likelihood of achieving the perfect hybrid of human and animal DNA with an impure source of mutagen is less than 0.00001%! Itâs honestly a scientific miracle that their mutation appears to be stable in the first place!â Donnie rambled.
At some point the plates were taken out of your hands and you were sat down in a chair at the table next to April. April had her hand on your shoulder while listening to the boys talk about what to do. You had stopped listening a while ago. Your eyes had gone vacant. The sounds in the room felt so far away, like you were underwater. It felt like you couldnât breathe.
âSo what? If itâs that hard to do then we got nothing to worry about.â Raph said gruffly and folded his arms.
âNot necessarily. If Stockman gains access to a form of stable active mutagen, then the success rate of mutation goes up to 40%!!! He could make an armyâŠâ
âAn army of mutants.â Leo said solemnly.
âAw man, come on! Bebop and Rocksteady are already a pain in the ass. Stockmans gonna make more of them?â Mikey griped.
âNot if we can help it.â Raph said, fixing the toothpick between his lips.
âSo what does that mean for (y/n)?â April spoke up, chair squeaking as she stood up.
âIt means, if Stockman gets his hands on (y/n), itâs game over.â
You were barely aware of your surroundings. You were scared. So so scared. Whatever Dr Stockman did to you, it worked. It made you into a weapon. You canât stand the thought of what heâd do if he ever got his hands on you again. Memories of your time in the lab flashed through your mind. You started to tremble and you felt something wet slide down your cheeks.
âWhat should I tell the police?â Casey asked from where he stood in the circle.
âTell them to keep an eye out for any Foot activity and report it back to us. We need any leads we can on where theyâre hiding Stockman. And whatever you do, donât give away (y/n)âs location. We need to keep them out of reach.â Leo ordered Casey.
You felt something warm engulf your trembling hands. It was⊠grounding. A calm feeling washed over you.
âTake deep breaths.â You heard a voice say next to your ear. You took in a slow deep breath, and a shuttering exhale. Then again. And again. You slowly began to feel yourself coming back to your body. When you finally blinked away your tears into consciousness, you saw Master Splinter standing by you, patient and holding your hands in his own.
âYou are safe here. Do not worry about the past. Let my sons handle it, they are strong and will protect you.â The old rat reassured you.
You sniffed a bit and raised your hand to wipe away some of your tears, and nodded. ââŠ.thank you.â You said earnestly. Your voice was horse and heavy with emotion.
Master Splinter went to put the kettle on for tea, while the others finished talking and split up into their assigned jobs. Donnie and Leo went to Donnieâs computer station to coordinate what route to take for patrol, Casey got on the phone with the police commissioner to ask about the locations of recent Foot activity, Mikey and Raph were in charge of cleaning up the kitchen for you, and April disappeared to somewhere in the lair.
Splinter returned to you later with a fresh cup of tea, and sat with you quietly at the table while Raph and Mikey bickered over drying the clean plates. He sipped his tea while he quietly kept you company, giving you time and space to fully calm down. Eventually Mikey came over to join you and Master Splinter while Raph went to go help April carry some large wrapped supplies to somewhere in the back of the lair. You relaxed into your seat and enjoyed watching Mikeyâs overly animated retelling of his valiant battle in one of his new video games.
â(Y/n)?â Leo came over to check on you a little while later.
âHow are you feeling? Do you feel any muscle soreness or headaches?â Donnie was standing behind Leo holding a laptop.
You sighed. âI'm fine. Maybe a little bit of a headacheâŠâ You said honestly, finishing the rest of your tea.
Leo and Donnie exchanged a look that you did not miss.
âWeâŠ. were wonderingâŠ. if you would like to join us for some training?â Leo asked you tentatively.
You looked between the two suspiciously.
Donnie coughed totally inconspicuously into his fist. âWell,⊠we want to test your mutationâs ability. Strength, speed, reflexes, etcâŠ. O-only if youâre okay with it, that is.â
Splinter sighed and sipped more of his tea. âPerhaps, that would be for the best.â
You looked to Master Splinter with surprise. You had been watching the boys train every day since you entered the lair, but there had never been an invitation to train with them. Splinterâs training looked extreme, and that was only putting it lightly. You knew the turtles had been training since they were little, and it certainly showed in their skill. You were intimidated to say the least.
âReally? Are you sure?â You were hesitant.
Master Splinter answered by setting aside his tea and standing up. âNo need to worry, we will start with the basics. Follow me.â Splinter walked past a stunned Mikey, Leo, and Donnie in the direction of the dojo.
You stood up and followed behind him nervously. You passed by Raph and April who had emerged from one of the unused storage rooms. Raph looked surprised as you and Splinter walked into the dojo. He looked over at his brothers and pointed at you.
âAre theyâŠ.?â
Leo Donnie and Mikey nodded quickly and scrambled over each other to get a good spot in the dojo. Raph and April shared a look and dropped what they were doing and rushed after them, passing a very confused Casey that had just gotten off the phone.
âRaphael. Please wrap their hands. Leonardo, please prepare to teach them the first basic katas.â Master Splinter ordered with ease. His tail flicked as he walked over to take his position in the dojo.
Raphael obeyed without complaint, and grabbed his boxing tape. You looked up at him anxiously, certain this was the closest you had been to Raphael since the night he carried you here.
You looked up at Raph with those big doe eyes of yours and had him feeling nervous. He started to wrap your hands up as gently as he could. He gulped at how small and dainty your hands were in his big steady grasp.
Finishing up, he nodded over to Leo and the leader in blue stepped up.
âOkay, when youâre ready, I want you to try and follow my form as closely as you can.â Leo planted his feet firmly on the tatami and gracefully moved in a form that looked like basic Tai Chi.
You followed Leoâs instructions for a while, did some stretching and warming up, and then your teacher switched. Michelangelo tutored you next on dodging, then Donatello on redirecting an enemyâs attack to use against them, and finally Raphael on how to throw a proper punch.
You did your best to copy, checking to make sure your feet were lined up with your shoulders and that you followed all the way through with the motion. Raph then came over as you continued the motion and made small corrections in your stance and how you held your fist.
âDonatello. Please stand with a plank in front of Miss (y/n).â Splinter ordered.
Donnie scampered over with a small wooden board. He adjusted his tech goggles over his eyes and licked his lips as he took a firm stance holding the board a foot in front of you.
Everyone paid close attention, seemingly excited to see your mutant strength in action again. You looked at him nervously and glanced at Master Splinter for assurance. You were a little scared about what your mutation might do. You took a deep breath, adjusted your stance, aaaaand-
tap.
Your stance crumbled as you moved to cradle your bruised knuckles.
âOooowâŠâ You hissed, and couldnât stop the embarrassment showing on your face.
âWell, that was anticlimactic.â Leo deadpanned.
âHuh. I donât get it, they shattered that plate like it was a cracker.â Donnie said, straightening back to his full height.
âDude, maybe it only works on dinner plates.â Mikey added helpfully. April elbowed him in his side. âOw- hey! I said maybe!â
âHow about we justâŠ. Try that again. You have to throw your whole weight into your fist. Okay?â Raph patiently adjusted your stance and squared you up to try and punch the board again, Donnie at the ready. Raph held his hands on your shoulders and tried to direct your movement to demonstrate how to shift your weight, when suddenly some movement in your peripheral vision caught your attention.
Before your mind could even register the idea of danger, you ducked.
Raph also stepped back out of the way of a tail whip. Your attention turned to Splinter, eyes wide and alert.
âGood. Your natural instincts are strong, use that to your advantage. Michelangelo, Leonardo, step forward.â
You watched as the four brothers lined up to face Master Splinter, you timidly joined them.
âWe are going to play a game to assist Miss (y/n) in honing their mutant abilities. Are you prepared?â He asked you.
You paused a moment then nodded, feeling a bit brave and ready to give it a shot. âYes.â
âGood. Your goal is to stay out of reach. The boys will try and capture you by stopping your movement. They will be gentle with you, rest assured. But pretend that they are Foot ninja. You need to learn to use your mutant skills to avoid danger.â Master Splinter explained.
You werenât sure what the trigger was that made your mutant DNA activate, but you were determined to figure it out if it meant staying out of Dr Stockmanâs reach. You nodded and took on a stance that Leonardo had taught you, while the boys all moved to different corners of the room.
âGood. Hajime!â Splinter signaled the start of the exercise. First Michelangelo ran over towards you and you ducked out of the way, getting behind him. Donatello tried to sneak up behind you and wrap his arms around you but you dropped to the floor and rolled away. Next, Leonardo swept your legs out from under you and you fell on your back. But you quickly used your momentum to jump back on your feet and backed up to put some distance between you and Leo. You were focusing too much on Leo when you suddenly bumped into Raph, who wrapped his arms around you and startled you enough to make you yelp.
A strange sensation overtook you. You felt a surge of energy fill your body with power and your body started moving on its own. Following the steps of the move you practiced earlier with Michelangelo, you reached up behind you and wrapped your arms around Raphaelâs neck, then pulled forward and down with your whole weight, sending Raph curling forward and was flipped onto his back. He laid there eyes wide and stunned, mirroring the expression of everyone else present in the room.
You looked at Raph in shock, then down at your own hands, not fully believing it. Then suddenly the room erupted in whoops of cheer.
âYOOOOO!!! NO WAAAAAY!â Mikey excitedly cheered, grabbing hands with April to jump around excitedly.
Leo relaxed into a cheerful grin, and Donnie was snickering and snorting. Raph sat up with a half grin and you ran over next to him to ask if he was okay.
He rubbed the back of his head tenderly. âWay to go, Tiger.â He smiled at you and you took a sigh of relief.
Master Splinter was stroking his beard thoughtfully with a pleased expression on his face.
âIt seems to me that you are at your highest strength when you are caught off guard. But Iâm sure with practice you will find a way to harness your power when needed.â
Donnie came over and ruffled your hair while Leo offered Raph a hand to pull him up. Everyone seemed to be in good spirits. Afterwards it was time to call it a night.
Later that week, one evening you were getting ready for bed in Leoâs room. You heard a knock next to the door.
âJust a moment!â You said while finishing pulling on your sleep shirt.
You walked over to the doorway and parted the fabric to see Mikey standing there with barely contained excitement.
âCome on, I wanna show you something.â He was clearly giddy over something. You thought he might have gotten a new high score on his video game and wanted to show you, but to your surprise he led you down the hallway in the direction of the rest of the boyâs bedrooms. Maybe it was something in his room? But then he walked right past his room and stopped in front of their storage room. You were even more confused now.
A warm glow peaked from underneath the door, and with Mikeyâs encouragement, you opened it.
âSurprise!!!â
Everyone was inside waiting for you and with the big reveal. You were greeted by a freshly painted room and a queen sized bed with new sheets and a heavy knit blanket. Fairy lights hung around the walls. A wooden desk and a fuzzy plush chair stood along the far wall with a lamp illuminating a new notebook and an old laptop that Donnie had been working on fixing up. Next to it was a bookshelf with old used books and your favorite salvaged DVDs and games. You brought your hand up to cover your mouth as tears welled up in your eyes.
âIs this⊠for me?â You asked tentatively.
Donnie stepped forward, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. âWell, we figured you would need your own room. Since youâll most likely be staying with us for quite some time.â
âIt was Aprilâs idea. Plus, we figured youâd want your own space, to make you feel more at home here.â Leo said, stepping forward with a grin.
âYeah!! And I canât watch late night cartoons with Leo sleeping on the couch all the time!â Mikey complained from beside you earning a jab from Raphael.
âGirls need their privacy. This was the room I used to use when Iâd sleepover from time to time, but then it stopped getting used and became overrun with junk. We figured it was time to clean it out and put it to good use.â April said with a happy smile.
âYeah, and April and I can keep doing grocery store runs for you if you want to keep cooking. God knows it's easier than lugging down 2 dozen pizzas and junk food every week-.â April nudged Casey to shut him up.
Master Splinter stepped forward, holding a small beautiful bonsai tree with vibrant yellow leaves, and handed it to you. âRight now, things may seem new and strange. You have experienced hardships most can never hope to imagine. But you have a home here as long as you wish it. By bond and blood, you are our family, and we will always be there to protect one another.â
Your tears spilled over and ran down your cheeks. You reached out to Master Splinter for an emotional hug. âThank you⊠everyone⊠I donât know what to sayâŠ!â You sniffed.
Raph grunted, âNo need. This is our thanks to you for fixing up the place. Just⊠donât go flippinâ me no more.â He teased with a grin.
âNooooo! Donât say that!! I havenât gotten it on tape yet!â Mikey complained.
âIâll send you the video later.â Donatello whispered to him.
âOh, sick. Right on.â
Raph glared at them.
The next morning, Casey got a call from his supervisor that the Foot Clan had been discovered smuggling stolen chemicals into the Sacks building. But something seemed fishy about it. The Foot were not normally this obvious when moving things around the city. It felt like they wanted to be discovered.
