(dedicated to mango, who also proofread this filth ♡︎.)

—

Seonghwa tore the wanted poster from the notice board. Not quite the nicest welcome upon entering the seemingly modest looking village he just sought refuge in. He gave the poster a final glance even though he already knew its details. A rough drawn sketch of him, with underneath bold letters announcing the high bounty on his head, including ‘dead or alive’. He adjusted the scarf covering his features, hoping to stay unrecognizable. Then, he mounted back on his brown-spotted horse in the hopes of finding a saloon still open at this late hour.

How he ended up wanted? Well, it was no surprise his so-called friends betrayed him and decided the gold was worth more than his companionship. But what he did not anticipate was the original ‘owner’ of the money to take it so personally. Going so far as wanting his head, with or without the rest of his body. Resulting in uncountable copies of his face being spread around towns on wanted posters.The worst part? He knew the bastard lacked the money to pay any bounty hunter for it. As it was in fact, stolen. Feeling exposed and shattered, Seonghwa was left with no choice but to escape town. Forced to flee and start life anew elsewhere. He never imagined his life turning to this. 

Honestly. it’s not like he enjoyed his bandit life. But poor life choices lead to desperate measures. At some point, stealing was the only option he had. It was pretty lame theft, wallets and jewelry from the upper class. Pick-pocketing is not something he was proud of doing, but it was easy money. Seonghwa preferred to work alone, naming himself ‘The Lone Shadow’, finding safety in solitude. His work was stealthy, avoiding any conflict as he was simply not good at it. Sure, he owned a gun, but that was only for emergencies. One day Seonghwa was approached by two bandits, offering him to join a side-hustle. Promising him a fair share. Seonghwa couldn’t resist his temptations, desperate for the coin. Deep down, he should have known better than to trust the two men. In the thievery world, their loyalty and promises were questionable. Since most bandits had simple intentions with their stolen money. Selfish desires like drugs, alcohol, gambling or sex. And of course that reflected in their personality. Just moments after the job, his ‘allies’ took the coin and ran off. They anonymously tipped off the authorities about Seonghwa’s appearance. Clearly in the hopes of keeping themselves out of trouble. So, now he was identified to the whole Wild West, leaving him without a single profit for it. 

Seonghwa took a sip from his refreshing drink, watching the waiter bring him his late dinner. He thankfully nodded. The Outlaw was cautious, continuously scanning his surroundings. He had yet to set up camp outside the village, but risked himself out here to enjoy the comfortable warmth of the saloon on this chilly late evening. Even though he had enough of his uncomfortable nights sleeping outside. The dangers were too high. So far, he managed to escape a few encounters. Luckily those occurred during busy daylight hours so it was easy to slip away. He had been on the run for a week or three, having traveled further up north to unexplored territories. Yet, every time he encountered a poster containing his face, he felt his stress levels rise. At times, he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, sensing that he was being pursued, but never finding the source. So Seonghwa restlessly kept on relocating, not stopping until he had traveled far enough.

Seonghwa finished his lukewarm food. A meal that tasted heavily to him, for someone that was nearly starving that is. He pulled his red scarf back up and rested his tense shoulders against the chair. Just a few more minutes, he told himself. Seonghwa’s eyes got lost staring at the candle on his wooden table. He wondered how much longer he could keep this up. He knew he messed up bigtime, and running away from problems never worked in his favor. But what choice did he have?

A sudden gust of wind blew into the saloon, nearly blowing out the candle. The heavy sound of boots followed, killing the peaceful silence. Seonghwa lifted his gaze cautiously, to not seem too alarmed , avoiding suspicion. A tall figure, dressed in a long black coat walked in. His cowboy hat covering his facial features. He headed straight to the bar. Seonghwa lowered his own stampede hat, sinking in his chair deeper. “Sir, we’re about to clos-” the bartender swallowed back his words upon apparently recognizing who was standing in front of him. The stranger didn’t respond and simply sat down. The bartender fetched him a drink right away. With the new heavy tension in the air, Seonghwa felt like this was bad news and his instinct told him he should leave.

Checking his pocket, he only found a few coins, and placed the amount on the table as payment for his meal, even leaving a small tip. But in a cruel twist of fate, one slid off and clattered loudly to the floor, rolling in the direction of the mysterious individual. As Seonghwa bent down, attempting to grab it, he uncontrollably glanced at his direction. The intimidating stranger had his head partially turned towards him, Seonghwa’s eyes meeting a cold, unyielding look in return. And then he knew. he knew he was in real trouble once the infamous ruthless bounty hunter was after him. 

Panic seared through him. He had heard the stories of this bounty hunter’s reputation. The living Grim Reaper. Known for his merciless tactics and usually going for the ‘dead’ in ‘dead or alive’. He was no hero to anyone, that much Seonghwa knew. He was convinced he usually chased the real bandits from gangs, not some average lone thief. But then he remembered the reward on his head.

Shit shit shit. Forget the coin, he had to leave. Right. Now. he hurried outside, untangling the rope attached to the hitch. Attempting to free his horse who was blissfully unaware of the danger lurking in the saloon. Inside, the hunter chugged his drink in one go and hit the glass back on the bar. All while Seonghwa stressfully fiddled with the knot he made in this cursed rope, his fingers trembling. When he finally got it undone the bat-winged doors to the saloon were pushed open. The hunter stepped outside, a ominous aura hanging around him. All Seonghwa could see was the silhouette of his figure, perhaps even the smallest glint of teeth displaying a smile on his face. Seonghwa wasted no more time and mounted his horse, who stamped nervously. He tugged the reins, kicked her sides and dashed off blindly into the night.

He raced as fast as his horse could let him and entered the darkness of the desert, leaving the town behind him. Wind whipping through his black hair as his own hat nearly flew off. Hooves pounded loudly on the gravel as the moon shone bright, the only source of light.

Behind him, he could sense the hunter closing in, locking his focus on Seonghwa. How was he this fast? Seems his little head start only lasted that long. 

Seonghwa’s heart raced with adrenaline. All while his only safety out of here started to pant louder by the minute, reaching her limit. He urged his steed to go faster. “Please, please!” he pleaded in desperation. Just further up ahead laid the woods, feeling confident in his skills to lose the hunter there, he only had to reach them. He had to. 

He could sense the hunter getting closer and closer, and for the second time he dared to peek behind him. Fuck, there was only around forty feet distance between he two. Watching him terrified, the hunter moved his hand to his side, reaching for an object attached to his hip. Intending on ending this chase.

Panic set in Seonghwa as he faced forward again. “Faster!” he cried, kicking his heels against his horse’s sides, feeling her pants turning more frantic. He tried to reach for his pistol in his pocket but struggled to do so due to the bumpy movement, it nearly slipped out of his hands. The gap between the two of them kept closing in. The forest was so near. His only hope of finding an advantage in this scenario. Just a bit further. He could outsmart the hunter there, he trained his horse well to handle difficult terrain. The trees could give him cover from any bullets.

Suddenly, Seonghwa felt himself get violently snatched off his horse .The hunter had aimed his lasso perfectly to capture his target. With a quick snap, air was knocked out of Seonghwa’s lungs. He hit the ground hard, hat flying off, his body spinning until he came to a halt. Dazed, he groaned before his chaser stopped and dismounted his horse in front of him. A set of heavy boots covering Seonghwa’s view. He instantly tried to get up in the hopes of finding his own horse to get away as quickly as possible. Adrenaline blocked out any pain he was feeling from his fall. But he couldn’t move his arms, as they were tightly constricted to his sides with the lasso. He stumbled pathetically, face front on the gravel. Seonghwa tried to look up, seeing his captor looking down at him. He could vaguely see the sinister grin appear on his face again. An uneasy feeling bubbled up in Seonghwa’s stomach. The bounty hunter bent forward, a scent of leather and gunpowder enveloping him as he tugged the lasso hard, rising Seonghwa from the ground to get closer into his face. He was met with hooded eyes, darker than the night itself. “Got you” he spoke for the first time, in a low, seductive voice. The hunt was over.

Seonghwa felt exposed, eyed by him in his now bound body. The hunter’s gloved hand slowly made his way to his torso. Seonghwa flinched, trying to pull back but he held him tightly in place. The hunter chuckled before taking out Seonghwa’s gun from his jacket, placing it in one of his own empty holsters. Hiding it behind his long fringed coat.

The moonlight caught glimpses of his sharp jawline and the edge of his lips that curved into a smirk. Seonghwa never wanted to live so badly now that he realized he was stripped from freedom. Not like he had a pleasant life to begin with, but it was still better than being behind bars, or worse, dead by the hands of this bounty hunter. He glanced up to the man in front of him who towered over him completely, seeming to drink in this sight of him, his victory.

“That was unnecessary. Could have just asked me to stop, you know?” Seonghwa attempted to humor him. Maybe if he complied he could find an opening to escape. “A little mercy, perhaps?” Seonghwa eyed the lasso in Yunho’s hands. Possibly befriending and not angering the man that held him captive was his only chance of survival. The bounty hunter let out a chuckle in return.

“Oh Lone Shadow, I don’t do mercy.” His eyes pierced right into his soul upon saying those words. “Or should I say.. Seonghwa’’ when his real name escaped his lips, Seonghwa felt like he wanted to sink through the ground. His captor grinned, seeming pleased with his reaction.

“How do you know my-?” He suddenly tugged Seonghwa back up to his feet, causing him to nearly stumble into his chest. Seonghwa could sense he reveled in his discomfort. This guy was a freak, that much he could tell. What else did he know about his life? With a sudden move, he pulled down Seonghwa’s scarf. The hunter seemed to marvel with delight. Seonghwa swallowed hard, trying to read him through his calm demeanor. He squirmed in the tightly secured rope, the cruel reminder of this reality. God how he wished he left the saloon just a bit earlier to have avoided all of this.

“My name is Yunho” the hunter shared. Seonghwa raised an eyebrow, and nearly scoffed. “Didn’t ask but nice to meet you!” He spat back sarcastically. So much for staying on friendly terms with him. 

“Since we are on a first name basis now. Perhaps you're willing to take me out of these ropes so we can have a conversation like normal people?”

Seonghwa could see Yunho twitch his eye, resulting in Seonghwa quickly moving on to his next technique of talking himself out of possible death. He discarded his sarcastic tone to replace it with a serious one.

“I promise you, I’m worth more alive than dead” which was, according to the posters, not true. Yunho turned around, whistled loudly to fetch Seonghwa’s horse, who had seemed to graze on some grass not far away.

“Let’s see if you can live up to that promise then.” Yunho answered, grin widening, sending chills through Seonghwa as he now forced this challenge upon him. 

- One week ago -

For Yunho, it was child’s play to track his new target. The outlaw seemed confident to hide in plain sight, thinking he was safe by simply wearing his scarf as a mask. His poor choice of surviving skills was proof enough for Yunho to conclude he was practically harmless. If he wanted, he could have ended his life with numerous opportunities. So, it was clear that something didn’t add up with the bounty on his head. Yunho has had more than enough experience with bandits to know the difference, sending plenty to their demise. The Lone Shadow was cautious, but simply bad at checking up on his surroundings. The outlaw’s behavior clearly did not match that of an experienced bandit. 

Observing him from a distance, following his routine, The Lone Shadow’s frustrated exhales upon finding yet another poster brought a smile to Yunho. The way his target would walk away defeated. It didn’t take long to figure out he was just a fragile thing. Maybe framed, was Yunho’s guess. His interest grew. He started following him around, town by town. During one night of patrolling the outlaw in his tent, Yunho noticed a fellow co-hunter sneaking out the bushes. He couldn’t have that, his target needed his sleep after all. The fellow hunter seemed convinced at his job. That was until Yunho appeared behind them, ending their life with practiced ease, a swift slice of his knife at their neck. They didn’t even see him coming. Probably too money hungry their guard was dropped, and their life for the taking. Sloppy.

He made sure to clean the mess, of course, he wouldn’t want to surprise the fugitive with a dead body right outside his tent next morning. But the thought of him witnessing the startled look on the outlaw’s face had tempted Yunho. Perhaps as a warning sign for him to be more careful. Though he discarded it, not wanting to create panic just yet. He couldn’t have him start acting reckless. Prolonging his ‘hunt’.

Yunho wondered how long he would keep this up before revealing himself. His mind racing with possibilities. He was so ripe for the taking. Watching the Lone Shadow struggle to get through the days entertained him, he wanted to get closer to the one who has captivated his attention. He craved to know everything about him. What put him in this situation, or who? Who was hiding behind the name Lone Shadow? Questions were piling up and he needed answers. Curiosity grew, and once his outlaw made it to a rather safe village. Yunho believed the Lone Shadow to at least stay alive for a few days without him needing to take care of his surroundings. And so far, he kept going in a straight line up north, exactly where Yunho wanted him to go. Plus, he was certain of tracking him back easily.

He took this opportunity to finally find some answers to his burning questions. Soon, Yunho promised himself, very soon, he would come for him. His heart raced at the thought as he set his plans in motion.

—

Seonghwa’s body felt sore from draping over Yunho’s horse, facing the gravel. He had no idea how long he had been in this position, still secured tight to Yunho’s rope attached to his belt. So bailing was not an option. Seonghwa’s boots were dangling in the air and he arched his back to look up, catching a glimpse of his own horse gently trailing behind, also tied to Yunho’s horse. Poor thing, he grew attached to her. His hunter would probably sell her. His eyes shifted to Yunho’s back, who was calmly riding his horse. He had been quiet since their trip to God knows where. If only his hands were free, Seonghwa might have been able to snatch a weapon from his satchel. To his knowledge, most hunters carried a few.

Just as Seonghwa was about to break the silence, Yunho suddenly stopped his tracks. “We’re here”. He dismounted his horse and pulled Seonghwa off as well. Making him stand on his feet again. His legs felt numb and he was slightly dizzy from hanging upside down for so long. As he steadied himself, Seonghwa took in the sight of a simple cabin in front of him. Nestled among towering trees, isolated and far from any traces of civilization.

Yunho brought the horses to the stalls. Seonghwa was forced to follow, dragged along by the rope that still linked him to Yunho’s belt. Everything about this felt so uncomfortable. “Why not just take me in like any other bounty hunter?” he asked bluntly as Yunho was securing the horses inside. Seonghwa tried to mask the fear bubbling inside him with a facade of defiance. He didn’t understand why Yunho hadn’t taken out his pistol yet, why he wasn’t rushing to collect his reward. Why was he still alive? This was supposed to be one of the most dangerous bounty hunters and now he was doing errands with him? Yunho walked back to the front door, Seonghwa right behind.

“At this hour?” he finally answered, as if not taking him seriously at all. He shoved a key inside the keyhole and unlocked the door, pushing it open to reveal a dark unlit interior. Yunho stepped in, Seonghwa initially remained at the door frame, but was pulled along inside. 

Yunho hit the lightswitch and unpacked some gear he had on him, placing them on the table. He took off his hat, revealing his dark brown hair. Then his hand found the silver pistol he took from Seonghwa and took it out of his holster. He inspected it up closely, admiring the subtle decorations. Floral carvings and Seonghwa’s initials. “What’s it’s story?” Yunho then asked, seeming genuinely interested. Seonghwa raised an eyebrow, confused by his change of persona. “Custom made, back when I still had a life” he answered nonchalantly. He never used the gun before, but Yunho didn’t need to know that. 

“You take good care of it. It’s in a good state” Yunho added. Seonghwa felt the urge to roll his eyes. Like what, was he supposed to thank him? What was this weird attempt of small talk? But yes, he was going to miss his gun that was now in his captor’s hands.

“Come with me” Yunho tugged him back outside. As if Seonghwa even had a choice. He was dragging him like a dog on a leash to the backyard. Seonghwa had a bad feeling about this. Yunho stopped in front of a root cellar and unlocked the door, revealing a wooden staircase leading down. It was pitch black, like a void. Yeah, hell no. Seonghwa held a firm stance. If he gets murdered after all, preferably not in a creepy cellar. But what could he do against the man in front of him? His arms were still tight around the lasso, he had no weapon on him, and had no idea where he was. Yunho turned on the lightswitch, bright light flickering down in the basement. Seonghwa swore he could hear a noise coming from down there, something like a gasp. He held people there? Panic set back into Seonghwa as he was now pulling away from the entrance. Yunho didn’t even glance back at him and tugged him back. “Don’t be difficult," he warned, the same low tone he used when he had just taken his freedom a few hours ago.

Seonghwa nervously gulped as he was faced with two figures. They both lay on the ground, shivering from the cold, clothes covered in dry blood. And both of them were blindfolded with a brown simple sack over their heads. Their wrists and ankles were tightly bound. One of them was whimpering. “On your knees, both of you,” Yunho's hard voice echoed in the cellar and proceeded to stride towards them. The two men did as ordered, one of them grunted, seeming, irritated? Yunho put his attention back to Seonghwa, who tried to process what was happening in front of him. “See this as a little present” with that he pulled off both sacks simultaneously, revealing the two bandits that ruined Seonghwa’s life. His mouth fell wide open, and so did theirs. 

“San? Wooyoung?” Seonghwa was shocked with disbelief. Both of them looked terrible. San had a split lip and it seemed his nose had been bleeding, possibly broken. Wooyoung had a black eye. A nervous smile appeared on Wooyoung’s face. ‘H-hey hey! Lone Shadow!’ he forced his laugh. ‘Good to see y-!’ Yunho’s strong hand gave his head a shove forward, urging him to shut up. A signal well understood by Wooyoung.  Yunho returned back to Seonghwa and slowly started untying him. The outlaw tried to process what was going on, Yunho carelessly continued as if this was a normal day at his job. “They were a pain in the ass to drag here, but I thought it would be fair for you to seal their fate.”

As the rope fell to the floor with a dull thud, Seonghwa could finally feel his tense limbs again. His arms, once restrained but now freed. The moment of relief was short lived. He felt the weight of a gun being pressed firmly into his palm. Yunho had placed it there, his grip strong. His gloved hand covered Seonghwa’s hand completely as he moved the firearm in the direction of the two men on their knees. Seonghwa’s heart raced as he tried to grasp the gravity of the situation he was put in. Yunho leaned forward, whispering in his ear, his breath hot. “Go on then” his hand left his as he took a deliberate step backwards.

Seonghwa hated both of them. They ruined his life! San looked at him, split lip pouting with mercy, sniffing and sobbing. Wooyoung was quiet for once. The same Wooyoung, who was usually filled with arrogance, now stared at Seonghwa, as if daring him to act. Seonghwa’s gun kept switching between the two now powerless men. He felt angry, but why was his arm trembling? Killing them wasn’t going to fix the bounty on his head. Not that that even mattered now that he was captured anyway. But why would Yunho give him this opportunity? How did he know this duo? 

“C'mon then!" Wooyoung suddenly shouted angrily, as if he already accepted death. “Rather you than that fucking psycho.” Seonghwa flinched at his sudden outburst. San just started wailing louder. “Do it. Can’t listen to this guy’s ugly sobbing anymore” Wooyoung nudged his head to his partner in crime. San continued pleading, as he began stammering. "We’re sorry- I’m sorry!" followed by a list of excuses, each one more pitiful than the last.

Seonghwa felt trickles of sweat forming on his brow. Why couldn’t he do it? Why couldn’t he pull the trigger? Damn it! He didn’t want to become a murderer, he swore to only do it in self-defense and right now the only danger is the man behind him. Surviving means his captor had to die, that much was clear. Well, this might be his only chance now, he had to take it. Seonghwa gulped and just as he intended to turn his gun to Yunho, he suddenly snapped it out of his hands.

“Can’t do it, huh?” he taunted, his voice sickly sweet. Without another word, he determinedly made his way towards Wooyoung, jammed the pistol inside his mouth and pulled the trigger. Pulled it out from what was remaining of his head, moved to San and proceeded to do the same. Two loud bangs, bodies fell, blood sprayed the walls in a dark red, and then silence.

Seonghwa stood frozen in shock, heart pounding against his ribs. “Finally, quiet” Yunho wiped the pistol clean against one of the sacks on the floor. The gun was clean, but his outfit and face were covered in blood spats. Then he looked back at Seonghwa, with a wide eerie smile that sent him shivers. “Like I thought, you don’t have the guts, but that’s what makes you entertaining.”

Seonghwa glanced back at the lifeless bodies, the floor slowly turning crimson red. He had no words for the horror that just unfolded. Yunho casually placed the gun back in its holster as if it was nothing. Clearly having done these gruesome acts plenty of times. “This kind of treachery deserves to be dealt with, don’t you think?” the sadistic smile not leaving him. 

“You’re mad,” Seonghwa spat out before thinking about the possible consequences. “Oh honey, but this is all for you," he purred, slowly making his way over to Seonghwa as he removed his bloodied glove, gently brushing Seonghwa’s sleek hair aside to caress his cheek. His hand felt warm, it felt out of place given the situation. Seonghwa flinched at his touch, causing Yunho to chuckle softly. “Sensitive..” Seonghwa backed away slowly, looking at him with disgust. He knew he was a cold hearted murderer, but seeing him actually perform the cruel act in person made Seonghwa want to vomit. However, now that he was free from his lasso, he felt the tiniest flicker of hope. Yunho’s hand was left in the air, watching him intently, curious to see how he would react.

“Look, I appreciate the.. effort..” Seonghwa spoke, refusing to look back at his fellow, now dead bandits. “You can keep the gun, it’s real silver. Just let me go, ok?” Yunho’s smile disappeared. Seonghwa didn’t know which side of him was scarier. “Believe me, leave, and you’ll be dead by tomorrow," he warned. As if, Seonghwa thought. Yunho felt irritated, both at Seonghwa’s stupidness and the fact he was being unthankful.

Ignoring his warning, Seonghwa sprinted upstairs to the door that led outside. He didn’t know how he got this cocky, maybe it was the belief of Yunho keeping him alive for some fucked up reason that gave him this sense of confidence. He’ll get his horse and will travel even further, as long as he’s away from this place. Away from this maniac.

Just when he grabbed for the doorknob, a sudden force shoved him hard against the door, pinning him between the solid wood and his body. Seonghwa's cheek squished painfully against the surface. “You're so ungrateful, you know that?” Yunho's voice was low, a mix of anger and something darker. He pressed his big hand down on Seonghwa’s head with such force he grew fear of breaking his skull. It shut him up momentarily. “You’d be dead already if it weren't for me.” Yunho didn’t anticipate Seonghwa to show him this side of brattiness, but sure, if needed, he can force, or better put, fuck that out of him. 

“What did you expect?” Seonghwa suddenly felt a rage overcome him. ‘That I would go on my knees and thank you? I never asked for your help!”. Yunho tightened his grip, yanking his head away from the door only to smash it right back, causing Seonghwa to let out a painful scream. His head throbbing with pain. “You’ve got an awfully bad mouth for someone who doesn't even have the guts to fire a gun” Yunho hissed and pulled him back by his hair, breathing on his neck. Seonghwa tried to brace himself for another hit. “Time to teach you some manners.” With a swift kick, he flung the door open and dragged Seonghwa back to the cabin, his hand entangled in his hair. He struggled and scratched at Yunho’s strong arm. Feeling like a kitten grabbed by their neck, aimlessly trying to free themselves. Back inside Seonghwa was hurled to the hard floor. He scrambled to rise until a heavy boot clashed on his chest, pinning him back to the ground with brutal force. Seonghwa wheezed out, but continued thrashing around, trying to pry his boot off of him.

“Get off!” his voice cracking. Yunho kept him in place, looming over him, putting more pressure upon him instead as he placed both hands on each of his pistol holsters. That of his own, and his new gift from his outlaw. With a swift, fluid movement, he drew both out, aiming them at Seonghwa, who’s eyes widened in fear as he stopped.

“Which one to have fun with…” Yunho mused to himself, admiring his guns and pretended to be ignoring Seonghwa’s presence. He moved his boot lower, applying pressure on his groin. Seonghwa gasped at the sudden unwanted feeling. The heel of Yunho’s boot painfully crushed him, a throbbing ache swelling up in his balls. Seonghwa held his breath, holding back tears from the intense torment. He refused to give Yunho the satisfaction of seeing him cry. Yunho took a final glance at both weapons. A choice made easily, as he kept the sleek silver gun, tucking the other one back.

He directed it back at Seonghwa. “Take off your clothes” he demanded. Seonghwa’s heart sank at those words as Yunho lifted his foot, a cruel invitation for him to comply. “Y-you can’t be serious.” Seonghwa stuttered as he tried to crawl backwards on his elbows, away from him. “Hm?” Yunho taunted, he smiled maliciously as he hovered above him, locking his outlaw’s torso between his legs. He leaned down, tapping the gun against Seonghwa’s firmly closed lips. 

“Is this not serious to you? Do you enjoy complicating your own fate?” he mocked, as he forced the tip of the gun inside his mouth before he could talk back again. Seonghwa was overwhelmed with the sudden intrusion as he tasted the cold steel of his own gun. Yunho pressed the barrel deeper, past his teeth, a choking gag escaping Seonghwa. “Do you like it? The thought of me ending your pathetic life with just a flick of my finger?” Seonghwa's memory was flashed with the images of San and Wooyoung's final moments as Yunho replicated the scene.

He felt his stomach twist, not sure if it was from Yunho’s degrading words, the boot from just now or the gun down his throat. Yunho eyes gleamed with delight, seeing enough proof in Seonghwa’s terrified yet defiant look to conclude he was made for him. He slowly pulled the gun out of his mouth, coated in his saliva. “You ugly thing, guess you really need help with everything.” In a flash, Yunho pulled him up by his collar and dragged him to the table, several tools of his equipment falling from it. Seonghwa held onto the table edges in protest, but Yunho easily overpowered him and forced him on his back. He roughly unbuckled Seonghwa’s belt. “Don’t!” he yelled. The outlaw panicky tried to block his hands, resulting in a hard slap against his cheek. Stunning him momentarily at the burning sensation. Yunho took this chance and pulled down his jeans, welcoming the erection that was hiding under Seonghwa’s underwear. Shame fell over Seonghwa upon Yunho finding out. His cheeks flushing as he didn’t know where to look. Heavily embarrassed by the fact that Yunho was responsible for his hardon. But Yunho drank in the sight with delight. He discarded Seonghwa from his boots and remaining clothes, then grabbed his chin firmly, forcing his eyes on his. “So you were turned on by it.” Yunho lifted his legs over his own shoulders, giving him a good view.

Before Seonghwa could react, Yunho pressed the head of the gun against his hole. He felt his muscles twitch involuntarily. Seonghwa sputtered in terror. “W-wait hold up!”. Slowly, Yunho applied pressure, allowing the tip of the pistol to slip inside. “It’s so tight” Yunho spoke with sick interest. Seonghwa let out a loud gasp, clenching his hole around the barrel as it invaded his private part. He tugged at Yunho’s arm, nails digging in his skin. The bounty hunter didn’t even flinch at it. 

Seonghwa’s complete body tensed up. This can’t actually be happening. His breathing intensified, bringing him to a near hyperventilating state. “If you don’t loosen up now, it’s not going to get any easier for you soon” Yunho teased, another side of him Seonghwa was now introduced to. How was he supposed to relax in his situation? Especially with that new information? He knew the sick fuck did it on purpose, he wanted him to hurt. Got off of it. Yunho pushed it deeper inside, Seonghwa pulled his head back, squeezing his eyes shut. “How cute, and it’s not even halfway in” he spoke low. “F-fuck you” Seonghwa managed to get out. It only spurred Yunho on more.

He used his fingers to spread his rim further open, pushing the barrel to a deeper point. Inch by agonizing inch. Seonghwa tried to keep quiet, but still let out a small moan with his lips pursed. Something Yunho saw as a challenge. He moved the pistol out, leaving his hole empty for a second only before violently pushing it all the way back in. Seonghwa’s cock twitched at the impact. A grin returned to Yunho as he leaned forward, invading Seonghwa’s personal space some more. “Look at you” he gave his cock a sloppy slap before giving it a few pumps. His own pants tighten upon hearing Seonghwa’s pathetic held back moans. Yunho wanted to break that spirit, hear his cute little gasps more. Seonghwa felt the gun leaving his body as Yunho tossed it aside without a care. 

The bounty hunter unbuckled his own belt and pulled down his pants and underwear in a swift movement. His long, big, erect member springing free. Greeting Seonghwa with need. Precum dripping from the tip. Seonghwa's survival-mode activated as he jerked up and tried to thrash himself away from Yunho. To his surprise, he let go of Seonghwa which he did not anticipate causing him to fall from the table with a loud thud. Seonghwa's eyes met with his used gun, laying a few feet away from him. He jumped towards it, grabbed it, turned around and aimed at Yunho. This time, he wasted no time to pull the trigger. Ready to save himself out of this mystery he was put in.

Only for nothing to happen. Just the sound click of an empty barrel. Seonghwa tried again, but to no avail. “Fuck!” The guy had unloaded it when he didn’t notice!  A loud laugh filled the room and Seonghwa swallowed hard. “So you’d try and kill your savior? The one who has been watching your back for the past weeks? But not the ones who put you there in the first place?” There was a shift in Yunho’s expression. He made him.. angry. He made the relentless bounty hunter angry. No, not annoyed, not pissed. Angry. “Oh, you’re going to wish you were dead," Yunho's veiny arm lunged forward to Seonghwa’s neck, dragging him to the carpet a few feet away from them.

Once dropped, Seonghwa tried to crawl away on all fours but was grabbed by his waist in an iron grip and pulled back. “No, wait!” Yunho aligned himself, not wasting any second and forced his cock into Seonghwa's quivering hole. His size going lengths the pistol could never reach. He savored the feeling of Seonghwa’s tight hole stretching out to adjust to him. Seonghwa screamed, his body shivering uncontrollably. It was music to Yunho’s ears. Seonghwa choked back tears. It felt like he was being split open. It hurt, it hurt so bad.

“You do realize you're nothing without me?” Yunho leaned over, covering Seonghwa’s body beneath him to whisper in his ear, his tone emotionless. “Actually, it’s no wonder you're wanted dead. You’re a fucking piece of shit” he spat. Just when things couldn’t get worse, Yunho began pumping in and out of him. Revlishing in his agony. Seonghwa could no longer hold back his moans and cries against Yunho’s hard, rough thrusts. 

“S-stop, enough. 'P-please." Yunho slapped his asscheek hard. Once, twice. The pain was unbearable. Yunho moved his hands from Seonghwa’s sides to his neck, fingers tightening around it to pull him closer to him, arching his back as he increased his speed. “Aww, begging now are we? You sound pathetic’’ Yunho spoke through his pants, driven by his lust for Seonghwa. He finally had him falling apart. The lewd slapping noises filled the room. Seonghwa whimpered as he tried to control his very limited breathing ability, tears streaming down his face. He tried to disconnect himself from the assault. Resisting the underlying pleasure Yunho forced upon him.

Yunho moved his hands from his neck to his mouth, covering it as he bended him even closer to him, reaching even deeper inside him. Seonghwa’s spent cock spasmed at it. It felt like he was losing his mind.

He used his remaining strength to try and pull off Yunho’s hands clasped over his mouth. Yunho abruptly withdrew his throbbing cock, watching Seonghwa squirm below him. Oh? So he still had fight left in him. Yunho was far from done with him as this only fueled his desire. He wanted to fuck him until he stopped resisting. He sank his cock back in, doubling his effort. His outlaw continued his now muffled cries. Who had a false hope of thinking his torture was over. How wrong he was. “God, I could just snap your neck now.” Seonghwa instantly climaxed upon hearing his gruesome words, his untouched hard cock spurting his seed on the carpet. Feeling betrayed by his own body. Yunho however, simply let out a laugh and continued following his own high, pounding relentlessly. It was overwhelming to Seonghwa, the humiliation, the threats, the fear, the pain.

Yunho’s own release was near, especially after witnessing Seonghwa’s pitiful display. “Take this.” Only a few more thrusts were needed to send him over the edge as he brutally slammed deep inside him. His fat cock spilling his cum far up his hole. Yunho shot his head backwards, moaning deeply in pleasure as he remained seated within him. Releasing all he has to give. He let go of Seonghwa’s mouth, whose head fell forward in defeat.

Then Yunho finally pulled out, dropping Seonghwa’s now limb body to the carpet, stroking his own slick cock a few more times. He watched as his cum seeped out of Seongha’s hole. The one he abused with sick fascination. It leaking down his spread legs, his pride broken. 

“Why?” Seonghwa asked, voice hoarse from screaming. Yunho leaned over, pulling away a strand of Seonghwa's sweaty hair locks. Then he moved it back to his wet cheek, stroking it almost delicately. Seonghwa panted heavily, trying to catch his breath.

“Why, you ask?" Yunho answered. “Shouldn’t petty thieves pay for their crimes?” He rose up, looking down at him.

“Know this, Seonghwa.” Seonghwa felt another wave of unwelcome arousal rush through him at the sound of his name. “I’m far from done with you” promising him a life he couldn’t imagine getting worse than it already was.

Cowgirl Au reader life is wild. Worst if the cowgirls take a liking to kidnaping her from dawn to dusk. Like, Arlecchino gave them the bad example: you want her ? Take her for yourself. And after this incident, the cowgirls of the town went "Well. Not a bad idea-"

WELL. I suppose cowgirl au reader just got used to it at some point, the kidnappings don’t even scare her anymore, just mildly annoy her 😭😭

It’s come to the point where the genshin girls (the outlaws and bandits specifically) don’t even tie Reader up with rope anymore, knowing that Reader won’t run away/she’ll probably be snatched away by the other cowgirls soon. It’s become somewhat of a Tom and Jerry game with the cowgirls, and poor Reader is Jerry…

[roguemonsterfucker]

I had to leave my cockatiel Bandit at the vet and he screamed for me as I left and I just about cried 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sometimes I wonder if he loves me because he can be very standoffish but I think he does. He trusts me. He knows he’s safe with me. My poor boy is all alone at the vet. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[crazylittlejester]

So many headcanon posts! Must make my own!

Depending on the ship in mind, I headcanon Wars is gay or straight (but people thinks he’s gay) but now that I’m thinking on it he could be pansexual (I’m projecting) who doesn’t care for gender.

Regardless of sexuality, that man until recently couldn’t talk any woman except Zelda (I’m HW Zelink shipper) and maybe Malon later on. Like he’s talking someone and a woman comes up, his voice just dies in his throat.

(This one is based on my backstory for Wars) Even though Wars, understandable, has a fear of Great Fairies, there is one he’s not afraid of. A Great Fairy near his old home village. She protected and saved him when bandits attacked his village. She slaughtered the bandits once she saw the destruction of the village. Because her actions he will never fear her like her sisters.

Wars brings most of his rescued fairies with him on his adventure with the Chain. Those that were left behind for those who wanted to and those who were too injured to join such as those with broken wings.

Wars and his twin sister Linkle were once regressed into literal newborns during the war. Wizzro was trying to turn Volga into an egg as retribution for betrayal, but instead hit the twins. Volga was shocked to see two crying infants with their umbilical cords in the twins’ clothes. Wind has many pictures of this event. Time wishes to burn the picture of him holding Wars who had just puked on him. Wars loves all of the pictures since there is nothing left of the twins’ original baby pictures.

Wars is constantly on the verge of a complete mental breakdown. He just hasn’t been pushed over the edge yet.

In any universe where he has biological children, they’re almost always multiples.

Dude I love theseeeeee

To me Warriors is biromantic asexual but straight women think he’s gay and gay men think he’s straight but both will hit on him anyway but in that way they KNOW it won’t go anywhere because they’re incorrectly assuming his sexuality, and he literally just can’t win. Not that he’s looking for a partner, poor guy just gets frustrated

He is SO constantly on the edge of a mental breakdown, someone needs to help him fr 😭

Mhom Ped Sawan - episode 7

Mhom Sut remains deep in the throws of lesbian despair

She cannot compose poetry, she just gazes out into space and remembers being with Mhom Kham 💔

Sawan tells her - "if we can't get rid of someone in our hearts, it's better to keep them in our hearts than continue living without them."

She UNDERSTANDS

Mhom Kham is staying with her father in a village that appears to be crawling with opium bandits...

Things are not ok!

Man gives Prik a bracelet at the market which makes Ueng lose her goddam mind and assault Prik while trying to pull it off - somebody needs to chuck a bowl of cold water over that girl like yesterday!

Ueng is cosying up to Mhom Sut, I do not trust this...

Meanwhile I suspect that Jenaphibal has sent Prajong to ask Mhom Kham"s father's permission to court her or something to that effect..

Poor Prajong can't catch a break.

Trouble in paradise?

Princess Vilas tells Sawan to ask Mhom Sut to read her a poem (instead of Sawan.)

Sawan is not taking it well.

It has been too long since I saw my favourite boy 😭

Daddy Thongkam, let your son perform 🙏

The Story of Minglan

The first episode was extremely promising! I went into this expecting it to be nothing less than excellent and it doesn't seem like it will disappoint.

***

So nice.

***

LMAO, a brat.

***

Aww, they are cute 🤗

***

This poor child.

This father seems so useless.

***

No thanks to you, it would seem

***

I cry 😭😭

***

Ugh, they are cute.

***

LMAO, I love this kid 🤗

He just brained and drowned three grown men. Don't mess with his beloved friend whose baby sister he's going to marry! 😅😅

***

Who will win, a ship full of bandits, or one boy smitten with his new friend? 🤣🤣

***

Because you are a worthless husband.

Maybe you shouldn't have three wives if you can't even bother to provide charcoal for all of them, especially the pregnant one.

***

I mean, I want to feel sorry for her, but come on now.

***

Girl... Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl.

I can't stand characters with excessive modesty. Do you want to starve and freeze to death while being married to one of the richest men in town?

***

Good girl, Minglan!

***

You are both useless.

She should have spoken up, you should have noticed anyway.

***

This fucking woman.

Awful parent. Way to throw your child under the bus.

***

And finally, we get to the kids on the boat to see if they drowned.

But main characters can't drown in the second episode, so I'm not too worried.

***

Favourite 🖤

I'm so here for watching him play a schemer and a villain! Excellent actor!

***

OMG, THEY ARE SETTING HER UP TO TAKE THE FALL FOR EMBEZZLING THE RATIONS???

***

Wow. So fucking evil.

***

Hell place.

***

Well. I guess both me and Minglan learned our lesson today. The Magistrate is beyond fucking useless.

***

OMG. SHE IS GOING TO KILL MINGLAN'S MOTHER, ISN'T SHE.

***

Crying 😭

At least Xiaodie escaped with her life. Poor Mistress Wei.

***

You are strong and capable. I hope you will have your chance for revenge.

***

LMAO, he faked his death?

Can't wait to see what trouble he's up to!

[koiastro]

Please for the love of god,,, can I request anything Nebarra x reader I love my boi so much and it hurts how little fan content there is of him. I've already devoured everything I can find

i wanna stuff this man in a toaster he's so annoying- (but i love him too much 😭✋️)

The LDB and Nebarra! (w/ some general hc's :))

• Hooo boy, did it take a while for Nebarra to trust you as a companion. Of course at the start of your relationship, he was suspicious of you. Although Nebarra had offered his protection in exchange for saving his ass back in Falkreath, he was still an outsider and you, well, you were still a stranger.

• After vehemently explaining to him for weeks that no, you weren't going to catch the mer off guard and stab him in his sleep, he slowely started to warm up to you (just slightly)

• Hates going into the major cities. Nebs not very fond of crowded places so expect this man to get agitated and irritable everytime you two have to restock on supplies. When night falls, ya'll will usually end up sleeping in small inn's or camping out in the wilds.

• Up and left you right after he found out you were the LDB. I mean, the literal blood of Akatosh and the faceless high elf himself traveling across Skyrim? Yeah, no, he came to this winter wasteland to avoid trouble, not adventure with one. Came (crawled) back to you a few days later lookin like he just ventured out to Aetherius, asking (begging) you to take him back.

• will never get used to the whole absorbing dragon souls thing-

• Every tomb, Nordic ruin, bandit camp, etc. that you guys raided, all the coin and valuables are shared between you two. "Your dragon priest staff? No, OUR dragon priest staff"

• If you ask nicely, he'll teach you how to read and write in High Elvish language.

• After a particularly long and arduous day of bashing skulls in, Neb will unwind for the night with a nice bottle or two (or five) of spiced wine :) yeah youre gonna have to babysit his ass until sun comes

• Neb was super paranoid months after you had defeated Miraak. Poor man would wake you in the middle of the night sputtering about his night terrors of the first Dragonborn, you'd probably have to coddle him back to sleep. That being said, if he doesn't get a full nights rest, expect to travel with a very irritated, whining altmer for the day.

• If you have kids, Neb is that one wine aunt that gives them questionable life advice. I can just imagine the LDB playing with their children and out of the blue they start telling you how cool sellswords are and how they'd wanna grow up to be mercenaries. Oh Mundus did you give that man a stern scolding later on...

(not me having to replay elderscrolls 5 with neb as a follower 😭 he's insufferable, I wanna write some angst hc's of him-)

[kairiscorner]

HI PO ULIT!!!! 🫶🫶

ang galing nyo po talaga magsulat lagi akong natutuwa HAAHAHAHA

not a request po (yet hehehe), pero ask ko lang po, who do u think the atsv characters would be if nasa like regency fantasy au sila?? may kingdoms elves ganunn HAHAHA

un lang po, ok lang po kung wala kayong maisip question ko lang din HAHAHAHA

Thank u po, have a great day!!! 🫶🫶🫶

-🫶 anon

HI 🫶ANON :DDD omg kaaaaa ang cute ng idea <:) OKOK soooo here's what i think our atsv babes would be in a fantasy au !! (do be warned, i am not that well-versed in fantasy aus so i'm sorry if i repeat too many roles 😭😭😭)

atsv characters in a fantasy au

miles (earth 1610 - young wizard, formerly wizard's apprentice)

ok, i like to think that our boy here happened upon peter b in a time when magic was hardly practiced the right way anymore (think of the world of onward for example, where they rely on modern day inventions and less on magic to get by) and it was considered a dangerous discipline to practice so only few have mastered it and know how to use it.

miles would've, in my mind, been gifted with magic even if no one in his family for centuries have been magic users or whatever else related to magic, but his uncle aaron and dad used to dabble in some dark magic as young boys so that kinda fits in with the spider man parallels and also lowkey would introduce miles to the world of magic maybe if he went through their old stuff and found out they dabbled in that stuff? (idk i'm just mad delulu)

since magic was kinda banned he didn't really have any interest in it until signs of him being a natural magic user came to light and he started freaking out because magic isn't allowed n stuff so he tries his hardest not to let it show.

when he met peter b, he was taught how to keep the magic in control while also using it for good and not harming others :DD then he realizes that magic is only evil when you make it evil, hence he becomes less anxious about his powers and learns to use them right and accept himself.

his alignment would be lawful and/or neutral good i think

miles (earth 42 - bandit and mage)

ok so since 42 miles is pretty much a stark contrast to 1610 miles, i like to think that in this miles' universe, he was never born with any abilities and was like the rest of his family.

his uncle aaron and dad still dabbled in some dark magic as young boys, so when his dad died, his uncle aaron taught him how to use dark magic properly and how to be a mage.

he used the dark magic to become a bandit, hence his role, and he uses everything he steals for his mom's like healing........ fantasy place....... WHAT IS IT CALLED I'M SORRY 😭😭😭 but yeah, he's kind of true neutral imo, he's not particularly evil nor is he particularly good, he's in very in-between about it all.

gwen stacy (female knight, formerly bandit)

ok so gwen formerly being a bandit would kind of be like, she didn't steal from innocent people, she was more of a vigilante robin hood figure that 'stole from the rich and gave back to the poor' kinda deal.

she wouldn't be too fond of the guards in their homeland :(

she became a female knight when she joined the elite force led by miguel and became one of their greatest warriors n stuff and she quit being a bandit, but a part of her longs to be helping people in a more free and less strict way.

their job is to hunt down and stop wizards and active magic users even though a lot of people are pushing for them to be part of society again, and she hates having to stop them because they all mean well anyway and not all of them are evil ok >:(

she'd probably be neutral good/lawful neutral

pavitr prabhakar (male elf and knight)

oh he'd be a trickster, a fun one to have in your party. he'd be a mischievous elf that can outsmart you in any fight.

he just recently joined the ranks of miguel's elite force and is one of their craftiest ones, he can make a friend out of any enemy, his charisma is THROUGH THE ROOF

he and hobie are a dynamic duo together !!

he'd be...... chaotic good :>

hobie brown (bard and rogue ex-knight turned bandit)

he was a bard and a bandit ever since, just like gwen, he disliked the guards in his homeland for their crappy treatment of the poor and havenots, so he does their job for them and steals from the corrupt rich and gives back to the poor.

he took in gwen when she ran away from her homeland, and from one bandit to another, he taught her more efficient tricks at foraging and a little bit of stealth.

when he joined miguel's elite force, he really didn't feel right about it since the minute he joined. he had avoided them for the longest time and decided this place wasn't for him way before miles tried joining.

he's chaotic good/neutral >:)

miguel o'hara (ex-wizard and now commander of an elite force of multiversal guards)

okkkk lore dump: miggy used to be a self-made wizard who came from the very distant future of 2099 when magic was slowly being integrated back into the system along with technology. he was a very powerful wizard, but it was magic that killed his daughter when he opened a mystic portal that took him to a timeline where he was happy and had a daughter, but that whole timeline got erased because he wasn't supposed to be there, yadda yadda yadda, and so he abandoned magic in favor of technology because no magic could resurrect his daughter from the dead. what he could do now was assemble a bunch of elite knights that would protect the multiverse from magic users who posed as threats.

he still has magic in his veins and he hates himself for it :(

when he met miles and tried to explain how magic is evil, and miles defending himself and his powers, claiming magic is only evil when you use it for evil--he fucking broke down inside because he knew that what he did wasn't supposed to be done.

he's lawful/neutral good (or thinks of himself as, well tbh he doesn't fall in any of these categories tbh..........? he just does what has to be done.)

peter b parker (magician who's also a mentor, formerly a wizard)

now peter b was a magician after his wizard career, it was because he was a wizard that he and mj split up, with him wanting to prove to the world that magic wasn't evil and he could help change that but mj couldn't believe in him and wanted him to change his view on it.

he hated magic for ruining his relationship with mj, but when he met miles and taught him how to use his magic for good, he was so glad to know he was right through miles, his best and only student.

he stopped being a wizard though because he wanted to have a family with mj when she took him back, and now, he just practices like party magic for kids (he feels offended bc it ain't real magic, but it pays well in their world, surprisingly)

he's be.......... neutral good ig (idk)

[permettez-moi]

The burning bridge audiobook thinkies:

So you are telling me that in the burning bridge alone, we discover Halt has not only tossed a baron into the moat, but he also yeeted Gilan in the river before making him his apprentice, I fear that's where it started (or maybe he's dealing with his past trauma xD)

Also the fact that Halt basically yeeted the baron in the moat bc he missed Will so much

Halt admitting that his grim face is trained 'cultivated over the years'

The reader of the audiobook reads Alyss as al-iece/ al-is / al-ise (he kind of drawls out the 'yss' part of her name, instead of saying Alice, which is how I say it in my head, which is therefor the only correct way, so it hurts my ears

ALYSS BRINGING UP THE MOAT INCIDENT

HAHAHAH I'M DYING TO THE FACT THAT ALYSS BASICALLY SAID SHE'S SCARED WILL WILL TURN OUT LIKE HALT (grim and silent) (also the fact that, when Alyss died Will did turn so brb crying)

I am obsessed with Gil fangirling about Horace's swordmanship

OMG OMG OMG the scene where Halt and Alyss are out to convince that one absolute asshole of a baron(?) To hand over troops to Arald, because he has refused before, claiming independence from Redmond fief, and he is being a misogynistic shit, and Halt steps up, SAYING HE IS TO ADRESS ALYSS AS 'LADY ALYSS' AND NOT AS GIRL OR SWEETHEART OMMGGGG I AM FANGIRLING SO MUCH, MY HEARTBEAT GOT RAISED FROM THIS

I am dying please help

THE BOOK STATES THAT HALTS BOW IS 60 KG, AND BECAUSE HE HAS TO DRAW IT OFTEN AND EASILY, HIS ARM PROLLY HOLD A LOT MORE STRENGTH THAN THAT, AND I GENUINELY DON'T MEAN THIS IN A HOE WAY, BUT I WEIGH BETWEEN 60-70 KG MEANING HALT COULD PICK ME UP WITH EASE, AND IT IS DOING THINGS TO ME

3 people. Halt has, so far, tossed 3 people in moats. I always thought it was just the one guy. (And Gil isn't technically a moat, but I am counting it)

Let's not talk about Halt kind of crushing on Alyss after she kisses him on the cheek. Let's just pretend it doesn't excist

EVANLYN EVANLYN EVANLYN

Not Gil saying he'll hang the bandits

Okay okay, hear me out, Evanlyn/Gil (or Cas/Gil)

Poor Duncan thinking Cassie is dead makes me cry

Crying again at Duncan discovering Cassie is still alive

The small detail that Arald, too, was sad about Will being kidnapped

Halt crying about Will

Okay but Gil seeing Horace's move with the dagger before anyone else is a really fun detail

Morgarath is called insane here, and I think it really works

RODNEY SCREAMING TO LIL BABY HORACE BC HE'S AL WORRIED AND UPSEt

The scene at the boat between Halt and Will is being listened to in class, and my emotions are very hard to contain

Help I finished it already, but it's like €10 for each book, and they're only about 10h of listening time, which is approximately a full school day (I listend while I work) and when I tell you I don't have to money for this 😭😭 (any of you know where I can 'loan' the books read by William Zappa?)

[bonesandthebees]

And Phil pieces everything together so quick when he sees Sneeg. He just has to see him to know what happened, only really getting it confirmed with words.

There's just something so sweet about Phil not even thinking twice about Tomys when he hears the carriage hasn't returned. It's Wilbur. It's all Wilbur, Wilbur is the only one who matters. Who cares about anything else?

Power is so easy but his son isn't. And we see that both here from Phil, but also from Wilbur's POV. Phil makes mistakes, so many. Constantly having him under surveillance allowing no privacy, such a huge part of being young is hiding stuff from your parents, and Wilbur never gets to do that. And Wilbur gets so much paranoia because of it, as he should. But it's to keep Wilbur safe.

And this one time Phil can't get to him! This one time Wilbur is completely out of reach!

And Sneeg… poor guy. "Hey… So uh, you know how uh, your son left for L'mannes? Who you love very much and do everything for? And he… well, he supposed to return like an hour ago… About that…"

I can not wait for more Phil POV, it's so interesting to see everything from his side of things. His relationships, his thought process, and his absolute determination to get this sorted. RIP whoever hired those bandits. Wilbur might be alive, but whoever hired them certainly won't be at the end of this if Phil has anything to say about it (which he definitely has)

This was such a good chapter and I'm so excited to see how it continues!

-🐚

phil didn't get to where he is by not picking up on the subtle clues. he's incredibly smart, which is what makes this news all the more painful. how could he miss this? how could something like this happen to his son right under his nose? and of course, who gives a shit about this game between the potential heirs when his son might be dead?

phil has fucked up in many ways, and of course the one time he lets wilbur out of his reach this happens. it's the kind of painful irony that just happens in a world like theirs. these games are dangerous and phil knows that.

literally poor fucking sneeg man he got woken up by a servant telling him the carriage didn't come back yet and he was like "oh fuck me" because he knew he would have to be the one to tell the consil 😭

I'm sooooo excited to write more phil POV I love rose!phil he's so fun

thank youuuuu I'm so glad you're enjoying so far!! I'm so close to being done with the tntduo thing so once I write just one last scene then I'll be able to jump back into rose. so happy to welcome you to the anon ranks!!

Feel free to spam my inbox with more! I’m always willing to share my head canons!!!💜 or if you just wanna talk or say something

Bandit Gang Annoying Each Other:

💣Haru💣

He always tries to busy himself with work and planning ahead (bc someone’s got to) but there are times where he just can’t keep his head buried in his work anymore or he doesn’t feel motivated to study up on the shit he needs. So, he takes it out on the boys lovingly

-Andy> at first it was sorta dumb stuff just to tweak him like wetting small shredded pieces of discarded notes and ideas he had tossed aside, throwing them at the kid until it stuck. Other times it was a blank stare and unyielding until Andy would screech at him to stop because it was freaking him out. After he finds out the kid has developed a major crush on Jasmine? “There was this one time Jasmine and I-,” “I don’t wanna hear it.” “Yeah, ya do.” Plethora of stories that Andy both loves and hates to hear because he does not like Jasmine, dammit. It’s especially more annoying when Haru tells stories of a very young Jasmine saying she’ll grow up to marry Haru or Logan someday like any other kid would do.

-Logan> literally poor fucking guy. Cowboy prince bandit here cares about his appearance because let’s face it, he and everyone else knows he’s pretty. Not Fang pretty, but roguishly handsome and solid main male lead, handsome enough to be that NFL player you suddenly get into a team for despite not knowing how football may work coughs-. So he’s a little vain and tries to take care of his appearance. And Haru abuses that. Will catch him off guard saying he’s spotted a gray hair among his strands (mind you, Logan has a head of white hair) or that his eyes seem to be dulling all of a sudden? Then there’s times where Haru tells the most outlandish science shit that’s in no way true or plausible and Logan believes it for a good part of the day week because, well, it’s his friend that’s the brainiac. But then it hits at some point and Logan always gets so bent out of shape that he’s been fooled once more. They’re so friendly with one another that they can joke about even the harder topics- so, long story short, Haru likes to claim being Howlett’s favorite. You can imagine the angry cowboy face there. Logan comes for his ass (settle down LoHaru fans, let’s keep it PG-13 and save it for fanart and fanfic). IF LOGAN IS INTERESTED IN THE BUILDER>>> 11/10 likes to reference the start of their “interactions” (I.e. Logan watching the train the builder was on come in their first day- tho really, Haru just kinda puts it together and does the math/ after Water Tower explosion and their eyes met)- essentially, anything he can use to make it seem like they’re some star-crossed lovers or living out some dramatic romance fantasy. IF HARU IS INTERESTED IN THE BUILDER TOO>>> not entirely confident he can win their heart and affections against Logan, but it’s too fun to casually remark that the builder may prefer guys who aren’t tall as hell or that have a tanner complexion or dark hair and eyes- lmao not Logan trying to figure out how to properly tan or appear shorter or even willing to dye his hair.

🦸��‍♂️Andy🦸🏼‍♂️

He’s a kid and a smart one at that, but his attention span is so small at this age and he gets bored so easily. He worships Logan and Haru, idolizes them even. Being a bandit was essentially his dream. So, he mostly behaved. But it’s when Sandrock accepts their bandit boys back that he starts being a little shit (Andy, my child).

-Haru> this man unnerves Andy in a different way than his buddy does. Andy wholly believes that Haru could kill him and get away with it. But it doesn’t stop him. Andy likes to disorganize his notes so they’re not in order. Will sometimes leave feedback on random sticky notes to the most obscure shit and they’re all filled with critiques (some of which are valid and actually do annoy Haru Lmao). He once saved up all his money and bought a jelly jar that was actually filled with glitter that Vivi had. Took some of Haru’s notes and from what he could do, he made a glitter bomb (it was a Thursday and Jasmine was helping Heidi organize some things so he was lonely). The fortunate part to the end of that tale is that it was mostly plain glitter so like silver. The unfortunate part is that sometimes, if you pay attention, Haru fucking shimmers. This was very distressing to Mi-An once who has found this battered but readable cringey book about vampires, but that may have been the best day of Logan’s life who laughed so hard he wheezed and had some blood vessels burst in his face. IF HARU IS INTERESTED IN THE BUILDER>>> Andy will resort to basic elementary tactics and make kissy faces that are totally visible to not just Haru and the builder, but also everyone in the vicinity. He’ll sing that “kissing in a tree” song. Walks by the guy who is trying his best to be subtle about his feelings yet attempting to flirt and going like “oh dang, tell them how u really feel” and sometimes leaning against a railing watching them from above shouting in a monotone voice “OH SHIT, THAT SOME GOOD CHEMISTRY YOU GOT THERE”- Andy’s fuckin’ fast as hell, but if you wanna see him fly, wait until he pisses one of his bandit fathers off. Kid doesn’t even touch the ground when he’s running.

-Logan> you know that pic of Ben Affleck? Nvm, you know it, I don’t even need to describe it. You know it. Homie would put his little brother/son (depends on the day and how much he wishes to throttle the tween) on a flag pole by his raggedy little cape if he could sometimes. Logan is literally the true victim between the two of his friends/found family. But in their defense, it’s just too fucking easy to rile him up. Andy will still do dumb shit like steal his hat or dress up like him like he did for Bronco the Kid, posing as Logan the Bandit and nailing down his gun twirl (chill, it’s a water gun with no water bc Sandrock is dryer than my ex’s personality) and the dramatic swish of his cape. Literally the kid was born for LARPing or Comic Cons, maybe even acting, but the world missed out. Regardless, it is some good shit. Owen even lets him recreate Bandit Gang memories on stage sometimes because he thinks the kid is a blast when he’s all dressed up (he will actually start giving the kid a “1,2,3” count if he dresses up as Bronco again), much to Logan’s dismay. If you think that is bad enough, Andy actually has Logan’s signature down almost perfectly and will sit at a little table like it’s a lemonade stand selling autographed WANTED signs of the good looking bandit (much to Unsuur’s dismay) IF LOGAN IS INTERESTED IN THE BUILDER>>> Andy will abuse his height, his speed, and Logan’s patience. Homie will yeet himself into either Logan’s back or the builder’s and make them fall into each other as he takes off cackling and screaming about PDA. Now, Logan is a chill guy and recognizes it as both manipulation and a somewhat accident, but it’s the fact that this is the fifth time the cheeky bastard has schemed this week and at some point, the builder has to catch onto why Andy’s doing it to the two of them specifically. He WILL intentionally leave WANTED posters of Logan on their front door or workshop table or in their mailbox. No, please don’t ask Unsuur about this. He’s fucking done with the posters.

🤍Logan🤍

Logan was someone that felt like he had to grow up a little too fast to help his father deal with raising him alone and hunting monsters. His only reprieve from that maturity and the weight of the world on his shoulders was spending time with friends like Haru or Elsie or Jasmine, etc. There, the rascal like side of him poked out. Logan is the man of action and the one to carry out missions. He’s not big on planning, so, when there’s no mission to carry out and no action to be doing, he’s gonna have some fun.

-Andy> to the Logan simps out there, y’all better pray the builder and him have a daughter because Logan is much GENTLER and CAREFUL with girls (don’t think about the fight y’all have if you a girl). He will swoop down with far too much agility for a man his size and grab Andy by the ankles with one hand, standing upright and flipping the kid upside down in his hold. Isn’t above shaking him to see how much candy and stuff he nabs (literally no one cares and they just pretend to not see because it’s minimal shit) falls out. Or he ruffles his hair and messes it up completely. Sometimes, he’ll sit down with the kids (no chair is too small for him- that’s a lie, every chair is too small for him. Just look at his weird ass throne.) and asks whether he’ll be the main of honor or the best man to their wedding. He’s not above his bandit ways and WILL demand a dowry for his precious Princess Jasmine.

-Haru> they go back and sometimes, that’s not a good thing. Logan knows exactly how to annoy Haru. It’s just when he decides to find new ways that Haru gets nervous. Like after the Mi-An incident where she thought he was a vampire, Logan spent money on glitter himself that he kept in his pocket and would randomly throw it like confetti in the air with an emotionless face, watching it rain down on Haru with glee burning like the blue flames of a fire. Or when he actually borrowed Mi-An’s book so he could read it (he honestly hates it, nothing makes sense and he almost abandoned the idea numerous times) and WILL quote it at him. Haru hasn’t read it, but at this point he essentially has given how Logan took this way too seriously and is passionate about giving him shit. Sometimes, Logan will idly remark about being sick of shit and wanting to run away. Which annoys Haru because “been there, done that”. Not letting Haru sit in his weird throne actually annoys him but for the principle, not because Haru really wants to sit there. Logan also likes to remark about how smart Qi is and wonders if his bombs would be more effective. Then there are times where they’re just meandering about riding their steeds and Logan will go off on this near philosophical and rather introspective tangent that takes Haru by surprise, going to respond to Logan only to be met with “I was talking to Rambo.” 💀 IF HARU IS INTERESTED IN THE BUILDER >>> Logan is both the best and worst person to have as your wingman. I don’t make the rules (yes I do ). He’ll give him openings to make his move, he’ll set up the scene perfectly like this is mere child’s play to him (it’s odd, the things Logan chooses to be good at), hell, he may even pay for their dinner. But then there are times where they’re having a nice date and Logan will all of a sudden stretch over the divider wall of the booth with a harsh and loud whisper of “diD YoU kiSS ‘eM YEt?!” He is both a himbo and a child. IF LOGAN IS ALSO INTERESTED IN THE BUILDER>>> if it was anyone else, he’d be pulling out all the stops to win the builder over. But with Haru, all he can do is poke lighthearted fun at his height or how he’s missing a duster or a cowboy hat. Sometimes a “is your heart a ticking bomb? What’re you swearing for?” sort of shit to tease him.

Nexo Knights Hogwarts Houses

As I was contemplating fandoms that need more love,the thought came to mind about the Nexo Knights' Houses. So-here's my headcanon.

Clay-Slytherin.

Slytherin is the house of ambition-something Clay shows a LOT of. He strives to be the perfect Knight,using any means to get to that point,even if it is to his own detriment. Maybe it's because of his humble beginnings and the chance to be something great,something more. Whatever it is, he has a lot of qualities for Slytherin.

Macy-Gryffindor

She was difficult to place,but the reason I placed her in Gryffindor is because she's basically a snowball of courage and daring. She could've listened to her father and stayed with the normal royal studies (Which,if it is anything like ours,is a little ridiculous),but she was determined to continue. She also shows a lot of recklessness when it comes to planning,determined to just get out there and be the knight.

Axl-Hufflepuff

He was pretty hard to place too, considering the writers didn't write him as anything more than the gentle tank of the group with the stomach to maybe rival the Marianas Trench. But-I personally feel like he's a Hufflepuff. Like Clay and Macy, he originally was told he wasn't allowed to become a knight by his father. But-the difference is,where Clay basically pushed himself to his limits daily to prove himself,and Macy argued until she got it, Axl actually got his father to agree by defending him from bandits, showing loyalty. Like I said though-the writers made him without much depth (Which I will change in my writing),so there might be somethings that make him make of some other house.

Aaron-Gryffindor

Quite literally,in the show,Merlok points out that he and Clay noticed his daring. He's also a good candidate for Slytherin,as he's resourceful and good at adapting,but,honestly I feel like Gryffindor is more his suiting. Especially considering his recklessness,and somewhat less ambition compared to Clay and Macy.

Lance- Hufflepuff

Weirdly enough,his wiki page has more on his personality than almost anyone elses. Again,I was tied between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor,as he really cares for his teammates in his own way but is also fronts as arrogant to hide insecurity. But,Hufflepuff won out because he always,in the end,anyways,puts his team first. And Hamletta,of course.

Merlok 2.0-Ravenclaw

I think this way better version of Dumbledore is in Ravenclaw-mainly due how he just has knowledge in his brain and,at one point,his library (The poor library😭). He gains knowledge for the knowledge,not for the glory.

Ava Prentis- Ravenclaw

Same reason as Merlok,with the addition of the fact that she just strikes me as a Ravenclaw. (I hate it when I can't go in depth about it though...)

Robin Underwood-Gryffindor

THIS one was easy,no brainer. Robin has shown time and again his ambition to be on the field,and even though he knows the risk,is brave enough to just say shuck it and make his own way there,even if it's reckless for his age.

Jestro-Gryffindor.

He honestly deserves more love,because! This poor guy! His anxiety levels are through the roof! *Cough* Anyways-I feel like he's a Gryffindor. He's the Neville Longbottom of the Nexo Knights.

[legendaryskeletonpicklewolf]

Omggg guys the guy who kills unarmed women and children (not bandits) and calls them racial slurs (savages) is soooo justified and Lilith is a useless little bitch cuz that's totally not misogynistic to say

Lilith is a useless little bitch...that's not misogynistic calling someone a bitch isn't misogynistic💀 its okay I get u just wanna make someone feel like shit because they have a different opinion..it's a dead game series and your arguing with me because I called Lilith a bitch that's so sad u poor thing.🥺😭😭
