Hi! I was thinking about a run that ends up being too long because of something like a heard , were Daryl and the reader have to stay the night in a library. The reader is a big fan of books and she knows a lot about literature (maybe you can say she was a student of a literature degree back before the outbreak). Daryl is like 'I've never really read any book' or 'noone read anybook for me when I was little' and reader ends up reading one of her favourites to him while he lays his head on her lap and she tuches his hair or something fluffy like that. Some of my favorite books include Carrie, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Lord of the Rings; just if you wanted inspiration for the book that she reads him.

I hope you like the idea!

AN ~ This idea is so cute, I love it! But I am sorry to the person who requested this because I took way longer to write this than I usually would. It’s just been sitting in my drafts for a while now, but I finally got around to writing out the idea. Thank you for being patient and I hope you enjoy!

Your lungs started to burn, your legs beginning to weaken as you continued to run as fast as you could, desperately trying to keep up as the two of you quite literally ran for your lives. Somehow the run you both volunteered to take just turned into one giant disaster, one thing falling apart after another.

It was the dead of winter, the group hopping from place to place ever since the loss of the farm, and everything always running low. All the supplies you managed to have saved went out the window in a flash, leaving you with almost nothing when you had numerous people to feed. So desperate times called for desperate measures, leading to you and Daryl leaving early that morning, trudging through the cold weather and into a small town nearby in hopes that they had at least something to bring back for the others. But luck wasn’t really on your side.

There were a couple small buildings the two of you came across, a few cans of food here and there that you could easily toss into your bags. Though none of it was nearly enough to feed all the people you had. The thought alone saddened you to no end, coming to the realization of how complicated everything was now that you were out on the road constantly. You found yourself not even really knowing how good you had it back when you had sanctuary, a safe place to sleep at night, food…it was all very frustrating.

But you knew you were preaching to the choir as everyone else was easily feeling the same way as you, defeated and exhausted twenty-four-seven now. Though that wasn’t necessarily the only thing going wrong at the moment. The group itself was much more tense than it ever was before, the whole atmosphere seeming to change ever since that night Rick broke down completely. The loss of Shane and Lori being pregnant was taking a toll on him that no one else could understand, leading to him taking it out on everyone else. A part of you almost wondered if you and Daryl subconsciously took this run on purpose just to get away from all of that for a few hours.

Though that wasn’t the only reason you wanted to go, another part of you wanted to be able to bring something back. You wanted to be the one to lift their spirits, hoping that you and Daryl would come across something that would bring back that light. But then again, luck wasn’t on your side.

Unbeknownst to the two of you as you searched, a large herd of walkers were slowly limping their way down the streets of the small town, making even more noise the closer they approached. Eventually you both perked up at the sudden familiar sounds, walking out of the building you were once in to see the group coming straight towards you, their jaws hanging and their arms stretched out with the intention to tear into you.

“Go.” was all Daryl said as he pushed you to run first, sprinting down the narrow streets in hopes to find somewhere to hide. Most of the stores you came across were completely locked up tight, and it was too late to turn back into the one you once occupied. So according to you, you were pretty much fucked. 

The two of you looked around frantically as you ran, adrenaline pumping through your system as your heart pounded roughly against your chest. There was close to nothing else around, nowhere else to shield yourselves behind as they slowly crept up closer, surprisingly fast with how slow they appeared to move. It now seemed that last bit of bad luck had wiped out all the hope that was left in your being.

That is until Daryl came across a door neither of you had tried before, tugging at it as it surprisingly flew open loudly. Relief filled your chest as you didn’t hesitate to book it inside the space, Daryl following in close behind you before he slammed the door shut again. The two of you then frantically looked around for only a moment, before shoving a few pieces of furniture near the double doors to block off the walkers that would surely try to push their way inside. As expected, they began to pound on the structure from the outside, sending the two of you flying back a few steps as you caught your breath, making sure they weren’t strong enough to push through.

Though after listening for a few passing seconds, it was clear they weren’t getting inside anytime soon, leaving you able to slightly relax as you hunched over to place your hands on your knees, your breathing still heavy.

Daryl noticed out of the corner of his eye, reaching out to place a hand on your shoulder, “You alright?”

You nodded as you stood back up straight, “Yeah…that was just…too close.” you sighed, running a hand stressfully through your hair.

He huffed, “Yeah…shit’s messy all over the damn place apparently.” he commented, clearly referring to how much had happened in the span of only about a month, or maybe two. You weren’t totally sure, but what you did know was that the whole thing felt like an eternity.

You found yourself wordlessly nodding in agreement, turning away from him momentarily as you grew curious as to where you had ended up. It had grown dark outside with how long the two of you stayed out searching, leading the place being completely pitch black as well. Nothing but a brief glimpse of moonlight shining through the small windows.

You reached back to the side of your backpack, pulling out your flashlight and flicking it on to see a plethora of bookshelves lined up in the large space, your face also seeming to light up in the process. It had been way too long since the last time you came across so many shelves stuffed full of mountains and mountains of books.

But apparently Daryl was less than amused, scoffing to himself as he looked around as well, “Great…we’re stuck inside some damn Barnes and Noble.”

You gave him a look, “It’s a library, Daryl.” you said in an unimpressed tone.

He raised an eyebrow towards you in response, “Yer tellin me there’s a difference?” he asked in amusement.

Your mouth parted to respond, but your mind came up blank as you slowly came to the realization that there really wasn’t much of a difference at all. He chuckled as he watched you grow silent, nudging your side before taking out his own flashlight. “You go ahead and take the left, I’ll take the right. Gotta make sure this place is safe.” he muttered before slowly walking off.

You followed his lead as you turned to head in the other direction, shining your light in different parts of the area to make sure there weren’t any lingering walkers nearby inside with the two of you. Though you couldn’t hear anything besides the corpses still banging on the outside, it was better to be safe than sorry. But everything was eerie and quiet as you passed by the many tall bookshelves, the scene itself almost making you more paranoid that something was going to just jump out at you out of nowhere. The area looked almost untouched however, causing you to smile a little to yourself at the thought of raiders and survivors just passing this place by because well…it was just a library. But you found yourself just the smallest bit excited, always knowing you were a bit of a bookworm at heart.

Your gaze continued to lazily scan the space for any danger, when all of a sudden, a certain section to your right caught your eye and made you stop in your tracks. The sign read in big blocked letters: Horror. That brought a big smile to your face as you found that was your favorite genre to read back when you actually had the time to read. You loved the thrill, the suspense, everything it had to offer as it left goosebumps on your skin. Something about those kinds of books always drew you in, in a way you couldn’t really understand.

The covers and titles easily had you distracted, hovering toward them just to take a peek at what this place had to offer. And to your surprise there were a fair amount of good finds. The Exorcist, Rebecca, Frankenstein, Salem’s Lot. You found yourself going deeper down the rabbit hole as your eyes scanned the spines of them thoroughly, wondering how many you would be able to actually fit in your bag to take back. Because the truth was you missed being able to read, wanting something simple like this again to pass the time like you used to.

“The hell you doin?”

You physically felt yourself jump out of your skin at his sudden presence, holding a hand up to your chest as you let out a shuddering breath. “Holy shit…don’t do that.” you said as you reached over to push his chest gently.

He laughed softly in response as he raised an eyebrow at you, “I can tell ya what yer not doin.” he hinted, “How’s the left side lookin?”

You shrugged, “It seems...safe enough…” you smiled sheepishly.

“Uh huh.” he muttered.

“I got distracted, okay?” you said with a light laugh before your gaze fell back on where you were once looking, “I mean I can’t even remember the last time I saw this many books.”

The man paused for a minute as he watched your expression, how it seemed to light up even more in the darkness as you looked back to all the covers you still had yet to pick through. A sense of fondness washed over him as he watched you obviously gush over something you were passionate about. He wanted you to speak more about it, wanting to listen to your voice go on and on about the things you loved most about them, but he was almost too embarrassed to ask.

Though after a few moments of silence, his frame leaned up against the shelf to his left as he continued to stare, “Didn't know you were a reader.” he commented.

You shrugged as you didn’t break your gaze away from the book you pulled out to look at, “I guess I just never mentioned it…” you trailed off as you read the short summary on the back, before placing it up in it’s place again, “But I used to read all the time. What about you, you got any favorites?” you asked as you looked back towards him with a small and exciting smile.

It was an innocent question really, but all Daryl could do was pathetically shrug, not really wanting to go into depth about the real answer.

But you tilted your head at him as you wanted to know, genuinely growing curious, “Oh come on. You have to at least have one.” 

Daryl scoffed as he looked back up to you, “I…I ain’t ever really…” he trailed off again before letting out a harsh sigh, “Look, I ain’t ever read anythin before, alright? I don’t got no favorite.”

You were slightly taken aback, almost not believing him at first. But his face and tone were nothing but serious, showing you that he was telling the truth about having not read a single book in his life. “...Really?” you asked softly, “Not even in school or anything?”

He huffed out a small chuckle, “Ya mean when I actually went ta school? Yeah…don’t really think readin was at the top of my priority list.”

You rolled your eyes playfully, “Okay, fine. But seriously, no one ever read anything to you? Not even your…”

The two of you froze when you trailed off, though it was obvious what you were about to say. You knew of his past, how hard things were on him when he was a kid, you honestly didn’t even mean to let that last part slip as if you had forgotten. You hadn’t. But now you just wished you could take it all back as you felt ashamed and utterly embarrassed, a part of you also feeling terrible that he had never had that kind of comfort before.

In your childhood home, it was somewhat of a nightly routine that your parents would read you a short story every night before bed. You always loved that part, getting all snuggled up while your eyes slowly fluttered closed, hearing the soothing sound of their voices as they spoke until you were fast asleep. Now realizing that Daryl had never even had a sliver of that, brought a small frown to your face. But in a way, it also made you a little determined to make it up to him somehow.

Your eyes slowly trailed back to the bookshelf for a moment or two, before your eyes widened ever so slightly when you caught a glimpse of an all too familiar title. Carrie by Stephen King was one of your favorite books of all time, the plot being so interesting it left you at the edge of your seat as you went on. It was almost like some sort of sign to you as an idea formed in your head.

“Well…” you spoke quietly as you reached up to grab it, “It looks like we could be stuck in here for a while.” you mentioned, jutting your thumb back towards the doors where the walkers were still lingering. “What if I read to you?”

His eyes whipped back up to look at you, his face almost unreadable as he processed what you had just said. At first he wanted to decline, not because he didn’t want to hear the gentleness of your voice reading aloud to him, that sounded like a damn dream. But he didn’t want you to do something like this out of guilt, like you pitied him for not having that kind of luxury you used to have. It honestly wasn’t that big of a deal, something he hadn’t really thought about until now. But not even he could deny that as he stewed over it, he found himself missing out on something else from his childhood that he could never get back.

“Nah,” he shook his head as he stood up a bit straighter, “You don’t gotta do that, it’s alright.” he assured.

But your brows furrowed as you shook your head, “But I want to. I think it’ll be…nice.” you said honestly, wanting to reassure him that you actually wanted to do this.

He took in a breath as he studied your facial expression, seeing you were truly being genuine and sincere, and that warmed his heart more than you were able to imagine. You truly were the sweetest person he had ever met, constantly treating him with kindness ever since you had first met. And that only made his tough exterior soften in an instant.

“Alright…if you’re sure…” he finally agreed hesitantly.

You smiled brightly at him, “I’m sure.” you promised, nodding your head back for him to follow you to find a place to sit for the time being. Neither of you knew how long you would be trapped in here. A few hours? Overnight? You weren’t sure, but one thing you did know was that the two of you did not want to go back to the group just yet. You could almost feel the tension radiating from all the way over here when they were miles and miles away.

The flashlight in your hand shined down towards a spot where there were a few cushioned seats, causing you to pick the one placed in the corner before you plopped down, removing the bag from your shoulders in the process. As your body was turned away for just a brief moment, you then felt Daryl sit down beside you, before he adjusted himself to where his head was gently resting in your lap. Your eyes quickly glanced back down to look at him, catching the small smile he had on his face as he stared up at you softly. You couldn’t help but smile back, shaking your head a little to try and focus. But it was hard to do when his eyes were piercing, so clearly full of gentleness and care.

“Okay, so this right here is a classic.” you said as you pointed to the cover, “It’s one of my favorite horror novels, and I actually think you’ll really like it.”

His eyes moved over the cover as he nodded along, “Do I get ta hold yer hand if I get scared?” he suddenly teased with a small smirk.

You laughed quietly, “Sure, tough guy, you can hold my hand.”

He chuckled lightly as he nodded, watching you intently as you opened up the book, using the light of the flashlight you placed behind you to be able to see the tiny words on the pages. You squinted a little at first, before your soft voice began to read out loud to him, already feeling himself relax a little more at something so simple. If he was being completely honest with himself, he didn’t really care what you were reading. You could be reciting words from the English dictionary for all he cared. There was just something about hearing your voice in general that sent a wave of peace through him.

Eventually as the minutes flew by with the two of you engrossed in the events happening, your other hand traveled down to his hair, running your fingers through it gently. Daryl felt his heart flutter in his chest at the mindless action, almost as if it was second nature to you, making his eyes involuntarily close as he sighed deeply. He hadn’t felt this calm, this comforted by someone he cared about deeply in quite a long time. In fact, he seemed to question to himself if he ever had this feeling. The realization seemed to hit him then, but he almost didn’t care. He was just happy he had someone in his life now that was willing to give him all of that and more.

You noticed quickly however how his breathing seemed to change as he still laid beneath you, your eyes moving down to look at his face and see that he had fallen asleep after only barely getting through about three chapters. A small smile stretched across your face, closing the book and placing it back down beside you as your hand continued to gently run through the locks of his thick hair. Your eyes moved over the calm features of his face, taking in the fact that you had given him something that you once used to cherish. The unwinding feeling of someone reading you to sleep.

“Thank you…” his voice suddenly spoke quietly, moving to get even more comfortable in your lap as he drifted off.

In an instant your eyes seemed to glisten with tears at the simple gratitude, seeing how precious he really was. “Of course.” you whispered back, blinking away your tears as you hesitated for a moment, before leaning down to place a soft kiss on his forehead.

And after that night you two spent together, you found yourself always trying to do the little things for him to make him feel safe. Because those were the things you found that mattered the most.

~ Thanks for reading!

-

Stretching your limbs oh so freely, you hit snooze on your alarm. 6:30am giving you just enough time to get yourself ready for the day. You slipped on your bedroom slippers, making way to your bathroom. Grabbing the toothpaste, you where quick to brush your teeth. Skincare, Hair and Makeup following shortly after. Taking a step over to your closet you wanted your outfit to be perfect! This year is going to be the highlight of your life and you mean it. Picking out a cute mini skirt, graphic tee, ricks & your jewelry. You doused yourself in the perfect amount of perfume of course after your moisturized your skin. You grabbed your shoulder bag and took a couple flicks in the mirror saving them to post later. Making your way to the door, you made sure to lock your apartment up (you have valuables in there!) and made your to JJTI.

The walk there wasn’t too far, it was maybe a good 10min with light traffic today. Luckily you had been gotten familiar with the school, so you know your way around pretty well. Today you only had 2 classes just to your luck which means you could take a gooooood nap when you get home. Scrolling through your insta timeline you bumped into someone dropping your phone and causing you to fall onto your butt.

“Hey you might want to keep your head up a beautiful face like that should be show off to the world.” a smooth voice rang out. Looking up you where met with a set of icy blue eyes.

Before you could react, you felt someone picking you up from the ground. You turned to be met with another tall handsome guy. dear Lord this school must be SWIMMING with sexy men this year???? or maybe i’m dreaming ???

“Uh thank you i’m sorry for running into you.” you said dusting the little specks of dirt that stuck to your legs.

“Missed a spot” you felt a rough hand brush whatever dirt was on your behind.

“thank you??” it came out more as a question.

“Hey you take cute pictures, how come i’ve never seen you around?” the one with white hair spoke making you notice he was scrolling through you phone.

“You can’t just go through people phones without their permission!” you snatched your phone back making sure to lock it and place it deep within you bag.

“you might to be careful launching at people like that one more wrong move and your whole ass would’ve been out.” the other guy chuckled crossing his arms.

“do you two just get a kick out of bothering people?” you huffed fixing your skirt once more.

“only if they’re really cute like you” the white haired one teased making you take a deep breath.

“whatever i’m going to be late to class so excuse me” you brushed passed them making your way to the center of the school. Taking you phone from out of your bag you checked the time, shit! you where late!! ugh this was not a good look.

Just to your luck you where able to slide into your class silently yet swiftly enough not to draw any attention to your self. Pulling out your class materials you begin taking notes only for your phone to ding.

690-367-1793: lame asf Sotaru.

690-802-6199: hey there cutie remember me? 😏

You: for what…

sukuna: let me pull up 😒

you: mmmmh, come after 2.

Putting your phone up, you continued taking notes. Classes for the day went by smoothly, and you where ready to go home. You decided to catch up some messages, and scroll down your media.

690-802-6199: cutie you should be out of class now because we are for the day~ 👀

690-802-6199: let’s meet up this weekend!🥂

690-802-6199: you can call me Gojo 😋

You: K. Im __.

“Ah just in time.” You where so into your phone you didn’t notice that Sukuna was standing right at your door.

“You scared the shit outta me!” you hit his chest taking your keys and unlocking your door. Pushing the door open, you allowed him to come inside making sure to lock the door behind. He was oh too familiar with your apartment as he sat down on the couch.

“I’m gonna take a quick shower, stay right there.” you pointed at him. Making way to your bedroom you quickly discarded your clothes changing into a pair of shorts paired with a pink tank top. He was sitting scrolling on his phone when you sat down next to him getting his attention.

“So, talk.” you faced him scratching your head slightly.

“I wanted to talk about us.” he said boldly.

“Us? What do you mean us? There is no us.” you asked crossing your arms.

“Come on baby, I missed you.” He scooted closer rubbing his warm hands along your leg. Sukuna knew you had a weak spot for him, he was your first boyfriend when you got to college.

“Baby, I know you missed me. I miss us together.” he got even closer, running higher up your leg.

“Sukuna, you know we’re not going to get back together.” you sighed against his touch his warm hands making his way up to your shorts.

“Come onnn, let’s work some things out. I’m sorry for all the shit in the past.” he said making you squint your eyes.

“Just let me make you feel good” his lips ghosted over yours before placing a soft kiss on your lips. Although your mind was telling you fuck him, you really wanted to fuck him.

He deepened the kiss pushing his tongue into your mouth, warm tongue circling your own. He stood up, yanking your body up pulling your body close into his own. Your hands traced his tone chest, as his own made their way to your ass. Palming the plushness, he tapped your ass twice a signal that was oh so familiar from the many nights you two spent together. You jumped causing him to catch your thighs allowing him to deepen the kiss even more.

“Let’s go to the bedroom” he breaks the kiss momentarily to make his way to your use to be shared bedroom. Placing you gently on the bed, he begins peppering kisses along your neck intentionally trying to leaves lingering marks so others can ask about them.

He runs his hands up your curves caressing each part of your body before stopping at your breast. He removes your pink talk allowing your perky breast to bounce free, a mouth watering sight. He fondles both breast in his hands making sure to pinch and twist at the hardening buds begging to be nibbled on. He lowers his mouth to one of your nipples sucking on it, rolling the bud along his warm tongue. He’s quick to rotate to your other nipple giving it just as much attention sucking in the perky bud like a baby looking for milk.

With a pop, he’s making his way down your body leaving kisses along your stomach all the way down to your shorts. He’s quick to discard your shorts leaving you in your cream lace panties, a favorite of his. He places soft kisses around your area, taking his index finger teasing the damp spot that had formed in your panties. Using his teeth, he rolls your panties down your legs as your quick to shake them off. He kisses up your leg before stopping at your warmth. He uses his hands to push your legs open, rubbing a finger up and down your slick gathering the juices that once held your folds together.

“Baby girl you’re nice and wet for me” he said rubbing at your clit causing a slight moan to escape your throat. Using two of his fingers he circles them at your entrance before slowing pushing them inside making you arch your back off the bed. He begins thrusting them in and out, causing a slight squelching sound to fill the room.

“Soaking wet just like I remembered. Now let me get a taste.” he’s quick to use your thighs as leverage before pulling you into his face making you grip at the pink strands of hair. If Sukana couldn’t do anything else, he could definitely eat pussy.

He’s sucking roughly at your clit, lapping at your folds as if it’s his last meal on earth. He grips your thighs extra tight as he’s focusing on satisfying you, tongue thrusting in and out out of your hole begging to be stuffed. He knows your on the verge of coming once you’re gripping his hair as well as your legs quivering on both sides of his face.

“I want you to cum on my face baby, I want to taste every last drop don’t hold back.” he mumbles into your cunt lapping at it with more speed.

“Ah-fuck!” your back arches off your bed, fingers deep into his beautiful pink locks. You try to catch your breath however Sukuna is still lapping at your heat just shy of overstimulating you. He lets your legs go, smirking licking his lips slowly.

“Can’t nobody eat your pussy the way I do.” You felt his hardness poking at your entrance, slightly pushing at your opening.

“Uh not so fast do you gotta condom?” you push at his chest slightly.

“Come on baby you know I like to fuck you raw” (use condoms kids this is fan fiction!!!!!!) he says smugly before sinking himself fully into you.

“Ugh-fuck you’re lucky I’m in the mood” you sigh out feeling the familiar stretch of him stretching you out.

“Fuck I missed this pussy, so wet and so tight” he groans with one hand on your headboard pulling out and slamming back into you. Pussy so good he gotta take a quick break in it. You spread your legs wider allowing him more room to thrust into you. His thrust are moderate, deep and hard.

“Sukuna….more” you whine out clawing at his chest. Begging to get more of him to fill you out.

“My baby want it rough?” he stops his thrust looking down at your needy eyes. You nod your head, seeing that familiar smirk once more.

He’s quick to throw your legs over his shoulder, allowing himself to sink much deeper into you. He leans in to kiss you as he begin pulling out only to thrust back into you. The kiss is passionate (almost like you two are back together again), your legs shaking once more as the new founded feeling was almost too much to handle. His body is pressed into yours leaving you no wiggle room. He’s thrusting at such a speed that your legs fall from his shoulders, only to end up wrapped around his waist pulling him in even deeper.

“Fuck baby, you know I like when you do that.” his dick twitches inside of your indicating he was near his release. You’re holding him tight, nails scratching at his toned back. At this point he’s in deep, i’m talking deeper than the ocean.

“Ugh you’re fucking me so good” you moan throwing your head back allowing him room to lick and suck at your neck.

“Yea baby you like this dick, this the best dick you ever had huh?” he’s smug about it, kissing at your neck taking one hand and rubbing at your clit eagerly.

You didn’t want to say it because Sukuna has a huge ego but you can’t lie it was the best dick you ever had. “Mmhhhh yea the best.” you whine feeling your orgasm build up.

“Fuck i’m about to cum” he’s pumping into at a more steady pace still rubbing at your clit, he knows your body overly well so he knows your about to cum too.

“Fuck…fuck….fuck-ahh”

“Mmmhhn fuck nut on this dick”

Your eyes roll back feeling his warm cum fill you up, chest heaving his exhausting. He doesn’t pull out just yet, but lays on his back pulling you into him hand running up and down your side. You both are catching your breathing the room is silent, but a comfortable silence.

“Quick.” you tease to break the silence.

“Well, if you knew what it felt like to be in some good pussy you’ll understand.”

“And that’s just the starter now flip over.” he’s quick to have you on you knees. Honestly you thought this was going to be a one round thing, but hey.

You flipped over now propped on your hands and knees, Sukuna still never pulled out making your extra sensitive. He gripped your hair roughly, pulling you back into him as he began thrusting roughly.

“Fuck Sukuna!” it’s almost too much to handle but you know you can take it.

“Make sure to keep that back arched mmkay” he smirks gripping you hair tightly as your tried to maintain the arch, hands digging into your white sheets. He takes his free hand and begins slapping your ass quite roughly, causing a loud SMACK to rumble through your home definitely leaving a bruise. He decides to let go of your hair, and roughly pushing your back down to get back into position.

“Didn’t I say keep your back arched? Tch can’t even do that.”

“Mmmh throw that ass back”

You kept a steady pace, making sure to match his jagged thrust ass jiggling with every thrust causing you to bite your lip. Rocking your hips you felt another harsh sting on your ass turning around to see the pink haired culprit smirking once more. He removes his hands from the headboard to rest tightly in your hips. He begin moving your body along his dick as he fucks roughly into you.

“You like it when I beat this pussy up?” he said thrust getting more sloppy by the second. When you don’t respond he’s quick to slap your ass again.

“Fuck-mmhah yeah!” you grip the sheets feeling your release build up once more.

“Now who’s pussy is this?” he’s quick with that one. This time he doesn’t give you a chance to reply. “Ah baby you’re clenching on me…..and so fucking wet. You’re tight as hell as if we didn’t just fuck!”

“Even when we’re not together this pussy is still mine <3” with that final statement you’re quick to feel your orgasm once more but this time it feels more…wet? His orgasm came as well filling you up with even more cum than before. Looking down at your bedding you noticed it’s soaked.

“Oh baby I made you squirt.” he pulls out of you cum oozing from your hole.

“You relax i’ll clean it up.” he’s quick to get you your robe. You roll over to check your phone to see missed text messages. Hmm from Gojo and Geto..

[skywalking-through-life]

hope you're doing well 💗💗💗 would love to know your favorite books and the ones that have inspired you as a writer <3

Hello my darling! 💙 What a wonderful, wonderful ask, because there are SO many I could list off! All of my writing is always an amalgamation of every book, fic, movie, TV show, piece of music, article, and life experience I've ever had, but there are definitely some writers whose stories and/or writing styles have stuck with me more than others.

In general, I was very influenced by the fantasy, science fiction, and historical mysteries that I read when I was younger, and look back on all the things I read then with great fondness! Some of my favorites as a kid/teenager were: Susan Cooper (The Dark is Rising), Tamora Pierce (everything!), JRR Tolkien, JK Rowling (I know, I know - but I can't go back and unread them), Diana Wynne Jones (but I preferred Chrestomanci over Howl's Moving Castle), CS Lewis, Rick Riordan, Robin Hobb (The Blue Sword), Lloyd Alexander (Prydain), Ellis Peters (Cadfael), Lindsey Davis (The Silver Pigs), Candace Robb (The Nun's Tale), Timothy Zahn (Star Wars - Thrawn), Aaron Allston (Star Wars - X-Wings), Michael Stackpole (Star Wars - X-Wings)...I could go on for awhile here, lol. I read constantly as a kid, both things I should and things I shouldn't have been reading, so much so that there were weeks when I was reading a new book every day! I also loved myths and legends, so I read Le Mort d'Arthur, The Odyssey, Gilgamesh - all the usual suspects.

As I got older I mixed fiction with nonfiction and poetry, and started reading a lot of subject-specific academic material in undergrad and in my master's program after that. Quite a few writers from that time now influence me as well, building on the foundation of everything that came before: James Baldwin, bell hooks, Barbara Brown Taylor, Anne Lamott, Mary Oliver, Henri Nouwen, Kate Bowler, William Stafford, Howard Thurman, Audre Lorde, Wendell Barry, Rachel Held Evans, Thomas Merton, Nelson Mandela...there are also too many to name here, lol, and if you follow the common thread that unites all these folks, you'll probably learn a lot about how I see the world. And that, too, is something that always makes its way into my writing! 😅

I'm sort of inspired by everything, haha, but I've tried to give a pretty good list of authors, so that maybe they'll inspire you, too! 💙

— MEMORY ( AS YOU SLIP AWAY )

↷ zhongli x reader ( minific ) . . . coming soon

❝ just remember, the storm doesn't last forever. it can scare you; it can shake you to your core. but it never lasts. the rain subsides, the thunder dies, and the winds calm to a soft whisper. and that moment after the storm clouds pass, when all is silent and still, you find peace. quiet, gentle peace. ❞

S. L JENNINGS , THE FEAR OF FALLING

DISCLAIMERS + NOTES

i. THIS WORK CONTAINS MENTIONS and some depictions of violence and gore, death and mass murdering *looks at the reader*, angst just lots of angst with a bittersweet ending, sad vibes all around, some humor, reader just trying to vibe and survive but also being a hot emotional mess.

ii. THE READER IS A GOD INSPIRED by the gods from noragami and uses feminine terms as a descriptor. the use of y/n is minimal at best and they are usually referred to by their godly name 'foras'. this work also contains smut, said chapter will be tagged appropriately.

iii. I DO NOT OWN THE characters mentioned save for any mentioned original characters. the above image was taken from picsart and the manga / anime ‘noragami’ belongs to adachitoka. however, i will not tolerate plagiarism of any kind of this work. please do not steal / repost / copy my work onto this or other websites and if you find it anywhere else ( save tumblr or ao3 ) then kindly let me know. thanks for choosing to read this book!

SUMMARY

EVEN THE DIVINE WERE NOT exempt from the misfortunes of fate. those who rule teyvat bear their burdens of loss and blood, of the times of peace they once lived sullied by the ugly scars of war. even the gods look upon their lands and wish for their respite away from their bleak reality and loneliness.

YOU WERE A YOUNG GOD, born in an age of a peace that stood upon foundations yet to be reinforced and solidified. the whispers of the dead long past meet your ears and mortal longing beats within your heart. but fate, as it is, dispassionate against the divine and the mortal lets your ascension be marred by three cruel curses.

PERHAPS YOU WERE DOOMED to be forgotten from the start, to be glanced over by the heavens till you fade away from history and it's writings. but you still keep walking, keep wandering, despite your fears and heartache, bearing the scars of a war upon your back and your final penance. a promise that you hope to keep for a friend and lover till the very memory of you slips away.

about - a brief summary

pairing: percy jackson x reader.

word count: (ongoing).

genre (for the whole series, not this book particularly): pining, jealousy, angst with happy ending.

warnings: cursing.

SUMMARY:

Nothing was normal. Y/N was not talking to her friends anymore. Harris seemed to grow closer to her each day. And her parents were really busy with their lives. She felt lonely. But it was something she was used to until Percy showed up in her life. He messed up everything. All she wants now is to be in the midst of the crowd of Camp Half-Blood, do her part in the camp, and stay away from people who betrayed her trust.

Oh, if only life was just so easy for demigods. Time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos is drawing near. Even the safe haven of Camp Half-Blood grows more vulnerable by the minute as Kronos's army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop the invasion, Y/N has to set out on a quest with the same old group she's trying so hard to ignore. A quest through the Labyrinth - a sprawling underground world with stunning surprises at every turn. Well, apart from the mission those weren't the only surprise that was waiting for her in her life.

She promised herself not to feel hopeful again. But she did, and now it felt like joining the Hunters was not an idea she should've thrown away.

DISCLAIMER:  Percy, Annabeth and all the other characters are older. They are 14 year old when they arrive at Camp Half-Blood. All other characters are older by 2 years accordingly.

This is a work of fanfiction using characters from the Percy Jackson series, which is written by Rick Riordan. The story I tell here is my own invention, and it is not purported or believed to be part of Rick Riordan’s story. This story is for entertainment only and is not part of the official story line.

[killerandhealerqueen]

Thanks for answering my ask. If you don't mind me asking (again), can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

Not at all!

Alright, top 10 favorite media...

1. Killer and Healer (cdrama)

I've explained many times why I love this drama and to sum it all up, it's one of the greatest love stories I have ever fucking seen in my life and they have set the bar too god damn high in terms of relationships, communication, everything

2. Lord of the Rings Triology Extended Edition (movie)

Can't go wrong with the Lord of the Rings. Love the Lord of the Rings. It's such a good movie

3. CSI: Miami (tv show)

My favorite of the CSI franchises. I've seen every season, and at least every episode at least twice (maybe more). I just really like police procedurals and this has always been one of my favorites

4. Percy Jackson (book series)

You cannot go wrong with the Percy Jackson series now, come on. It's fucking Percy Jackson.

5. The Kane Chronicles (book series)

Now this is also written by Rick Riordan but instead of Greek mythology, it's Egyptian mythology and as someone who wanted to study egypt mythology and be an Egyptologist when I was younger, this shit appealed heavily to me. Still does. Love this book series

6. NCIS: New Orleans (tv show)

Out of the NCIS franchise, I like this one the most. I think it has the best cast, the best cases...I don't know, I just like this one the best

7. Hawaii Five-0 (tv show)

I never got the hype when I lived in Hawaii (yes, I was born and raised in Hawaii, no I'm not military or a missionary kid, I was born there) but once I went to the mainland for school, I started watching it and I understand why everyone really liked it. Also McDanno...great couple. I love their relationship

8. HiGH&LOW: THE WORST X (movie)

My favorite of the HiGH&LOW movies. I don't know what it is about this one but it's just...it's just my favorite. I think the characters and the relationships were all great and it was able to build off of the previous movie HiGH&LOW: THE WORST. And most sequels don't really work but this shit worked. And it's good. And the fighting? I'm an action girlie and these movies have some of the best fight scenes like ever

9. The Fiery Priest (kdrama)

One of my first kdramas that I've ever watched and oh my god. It's both funny and serious and the concept of the whole drama is just hilarious. I have never cackled so hard while watching a drama before. Love this drama

10. Danger Zone (Tdrama)

Oh my god, this drama. Oh, it's one of the only taiwanese dramas I've watched but holy fuck is it dark. It's so good but it's so fucking dark. It's another police procedural but the relationships in the dramas are really good. But it is not a drama you watch late at night. It's not. But it's so good

Peace

Alexandria, VA.

The children were running free again.

Tory smiled and sat down on the steps, on the spot that she was wearing down after almost a decade… Even when her Dad was alive, Tory had sat down on the same spot. God, some things never changed.

“Mama!” her eyes turned up from the book she had on her lap. Ella had come up all the way to the bottom of the stairs, her tiny hands were full of tomatoes.

Again.

“Did you raid another garden, Peanut?” she asked, wondering who she’d have to apologize to later in the day or in the morning.

“No, mama, Vera!”

Ah.

“Aunt Vera, Peanut,” she told her daughter, knowing her words would fall in tiny, deaf ears. 

Her daughter nodded with a radiant toothy smile that was eerily similar to her father’s smile, making Tory’s heart ache. Standing up, she set her book down and went to her little girl’s side.

“Should we make some tomato sauce, Peanut?” she asked her little girl, knowing she wouldn’t say no. Tory had been planning on making sauce for a few days now, she had been gathering the jars to boil and the spices to use. She had Carol’s homemade pasta recipe too. 

“Yes!” the tomatoes fell from her hands and Tory sighed. “Are we gonna give some to Luc and Martha?”

“Yeah, Peanut, we will.” Good Lord, she needed to break Ella’s habit of calling the adults by their given names, then again, she didn’t have much interaction with the children in Alexandria, who weren’t many either, despite Vera and Chase moving to Alexandria after the whole Whisperers debacle.

“Come on, Ella, let’s get these tomatoes crushed.” 

At times, Tory missed Gabriel and the sort of camaraderie they had formed when he had lived under her roof. They would never see eye to eye in certain things, but they were friends, even if not the best of friends.

"Mama, are you going to tell me about Papa again?"

She chuckled at her little girl and nodded.

"Of course, Peanut. He was the biggest jerk I ever met."

Her little girl giggled at her words and Tory smiled, knowing she would get that reaction no matter what. Sometimes, Tory dreamed of a different outcome, she dreamed of a different life. She wondered the what ifs of a life where the dead never rose. 

Maybe one day, she would grow out of it.

"That's a bad word, Mama."

"It is, but the word I was thinking about is worse, Ellie."

•••   •••   •••

Taking Alpha’s head to Rick might have been a little bit of an exaggeration, but Negan thought it was good enough to try and wiggle his way out of being a fucking prisoner until he died and the cell around him crumbled.

He wanted to be able to ask for Victoria’s forgiveness as well.

Religion was not Negan’s forte, never had been, actually. If he had believed in something, it was people, and only certain people. Lucille, Elle, Victoria, Michonne, he definitely believed in Carl, even fucking Rick Grimes. No, his approach was more like following the steps of a rehab program. 

Not that he could really do much about that while being a prisoner for the better part of a shit-ton of years.

And -sweet Jesus- had he liked being free again.

The feeling of the sun on his face, the freshness of the air -at least the part that didn’t stink like the dead- even in the goddamned humidity of the Virginian summer. 

“Hey.”

Negan blinked and then focused his eyes on the staircase that went all the way up to the door of his prison. It had to be some sort of joke or prank by fucking destiny. 

“I think I might have gone crazy, Gorgeous,” he flinched, regretting the term immediately, but he got back a soft chuckle.

“No one has called me that in ages, Negan,” Victoria said. Damn, she looked beautiful, had to be in her early thirties by now; she wasn’t the pale, wooden woman he’d last seen about six years prior. Victoria’s skin was tanned, there were little lines around her eyes that spoke about laughter and a lot of eye narrowing. She’d filled out too. Cut her hair as well, short suited her, framed her pretty face. “I brought you something that might make you feel good.”

She held a canvas bag with something inside.

“Is it whiskey?” he asked, half-hopeful, half-joking. 

“We’re ages away from the apple trees giving us a harvest good enough for whiskey. We’ve got pies, sauce, jam, juice, sometimes a decent cider, but no whiskey, I’m afraid,” she informed him cheerfully. “No, I’ve got you something better. At least I think so. I have a very strict judge at home and they approve of the offerings.”

That got a chuckle out of him, until she got the containers out of the bag. 

“I know you like to put the sauce on yourself, it’s still hot.”

Fucking spaghetti. 

He could have cried. 

“I don’t have everything to make it like Lucille used to, wine is a commodity we can’t actually get either, not anymore,” she made a face. “At least not grape wine.”

“Let me decide then. Let’s see if that judge of yours is right.”

“Oh, don’t you try to underestimate her, she’s fierce.”

That pricked his curiosity.

“You got yourself a girlfriend, Victoria?” he asked.

“Don’t call me that, please, it makes me feel like Roy’s scolding me,” she said, as she served a generous helping of pasta for him. “And not exactly a girlfriend as much as a roommate.”

Negan made a little noncommittal sound and she smiled. 

“Here you go.”

She opened the door to the cell and gave him the plate and the sauce, then sat down across from him.

It smelled delicious. 

“Thank you.”

Oh, fuck, had he said it out loud? Apparently, yes. 

Finally, he passed the sauce back to Victoria, who took it and put the lid on it after serving herself a bit of pasta too. 

“Not eaten yet?” he asked.

“Not really. I’ve had a long morning and… some things happened at home.”

“Ah.”

“Yeah.”

Fuckity-fuckedy-fuck.

The pasta was buttery, perfectly cooked, the sauce did lack the tangy taste of a good red wine or a cheap one, but it was close enough to the recipe he’d made in front of her only once.

“How did you get it right?”

“I watched closely.”

“It was ‘bout seven years ago, Tory,” he accused. 

“I’ve had a long time to practice, you asshole. Eat.” 

It was extremely inappropriate to get a boner while having pasta, only because his ex-wife spoke to him with a scolding tone. As if she were used to ordering someone around like a kid. He ate in silence, least he opened his trap and ruined it all. 

Negan finished his whole serving before asking the question that had been bothering him from the moment she stepped inside his humble abode. 

“Why are you here? Now?”

Tory’s hand paused midway to her mouth, forkful of pasta at the ready. She lowered the utensil. 

“Rick is away, so is Michonne, Carl’s with them,” she smirked. “Gabe and Eugene were thrilled to get some help with you.”

He didn’t know if he should be offended or thrilled. Gabe was not the greatest of cooks. Even Eugene made better food than the good priest. 

“You waited six years for Rick to fucking leave?” he asked.

“Not really, I made a deal with him, but what he does not know can’t hurt him.”

“So, where’s he gone to?”

“Some place away from here, in a city. Was it The Community… no…” she trailed off and made a face, scrunching her nose a bit. “The…Commonwealth, I believe.”

“Sounds pompous,” he commented. 

“It does.”

Silence grew between them as Tory took his plate back and closed the cage.

“How was it then?”

“Fucking amazing.”

“Ah, so your potty mouth hasn’t changed?”

“Has yours?” he shot back. 

“It had to, there’s little ones in my home constantly. I’ve become very creative with my insults. I personally like son-of-an-eggplant the best. Son-of-a-nut is not far behind.”

“Son of…” he snorted once the meaning crossed his mind. “Fucking creative, she says.”  

They laughed quietly.

“So you had kids? Are they the doctor’s kids?”

Tory made a face. He detected shame, defiance and resignation at once.

“Look, I know we are supposed to be perfect for each other, but we know that’s not true,” Tory sat down once everything was put away. “Yeah, I’ve been with Rhodes on and off, but despite the lack of contraception, we haven’t had any accident that requires a name and a birth certificate.”

Negan barked a little, bitter laugh.

“So, who are the little ones?”

“Vera and Chase’s kids. They have twin boys and a little girl. She wasn’t supposed to have more kids, but I suppose Rhodes’ hands aren’t as good as he says.”

“Martha and Lucas haven’t…”

“They preferred not to, they say The Sanctuary is enough of a responsibility. They are amazing as aunt and uncle.” He noticed that she stopped herself, but he did not push whatever she didn’t want to share. 

“Most of you have moved on. Did your old man move on too?” he asked instead. 

She grimaced again at his question.

“He lives in Hilltop, with Charlotte.”

“Charlotte as in the… the woman from Greenbrier who took over Doveport?”

“Doveport has become sort of what it was before the end of the world,” Tory explained. “More or less a boarding school for trades. Kids and teens learn to read, write, some arithmetics, and trades, carpentry, farming, livestocking, everyone learns a bit about medicine, basics. Rhodes teaches that.”

“Elle would have liked it.” he commented. 

“I suppose she would have.”

“What about Amy’s kid?”

“Lives between here and Hilltop. Comes down here with Roy a lot, she adores Judith.”

“I was out and nothing of this came up,” Negan said, sounding a bit despondent, even to his ears.

“Not everyone knows the context of your life like me, and I don’t think Dwight was too forthcoming with it either, Negan,” she smiled sadly. “Rick certainly wasn’t and I suppose he’d have a stroke if he finds out I visited, but he can’t take it away.”

“Will you come back?” he asked as she stood, canvas bag in hand. 

She smiled.

“I don’t see why not.” 

•••   •••   •••

Rhodes was in her home once she was back. Ella was talking his ear off about the tomato sauce.

“This is news to me,” he said loudly, sending her a mocking, accusatory look. “Your mama has never prepared tomato sauce for me.”

“She said it was for a jerk, Henry,” her daughter answered with a very solemn expression. “And you’re not a jerk, you’re a doctor.”

Tory chuckled. "A jerk is not a profession, Peanut, a doctor is."

Henry raised a skeptical eyebrow.

“A jailed jerk, Victoria?” Fuck, did he have to sound so admonishing? He knew her all too well, it was the reason they hadn’t worked out in the end. Not for lack of trying.

“None of your business, Rhodes,” she snapped petulantly.

Her on-an-off lover sighed deeply. 

“You’ve never abandoned the idea of him.”

“He is very real, I assure you.”

“He really hurt you.”

“And I have kept a big fucking secret from him, we’re even, I believe.”

“I don’t want you to be hurt if Rick decides to off him.”

“He won’t, if Rick has something is his twisted honor and word,” she complained.

“Rick won’t be around forever.”

Tory nodded. “I know, I’m counting on it.” Yes, her words were cold, but she’d already simmered in hot rage and hate for a long time. 

Henry’s lips became a thin line anyway. 

“That’s not funny. It’s morbid, actually.” 

“I know, and it’s no secret I don’t like the man. He knows it, his wife knows it, his son, you catch my meaning, right?”

“Why provoke him then?”

“I didn’t fight a war on two fronts to live under Rick Grimes’ thumb for the rest of my life. People idolize him, but I’ve seen ugly things from before he became Alexandria’s leader, Rhodes, just… don’t fight me on this, it will go to a dead end.”

He lifted his hands in a placating gesture.

“So, is there any tomato sauce left?”

Tory smiled. “There is, actually.”

•••   •••   •••

Tory made sandwiches for Negan and herself. 

Ella was with Rhodes, they had already eaten and were having the time of their life finger painting. 

"Didn't expect to see you for a while yet, Tory," he greeted her.

She gave him a little smile, no cheesy one liners came to mind.

"Were counting on getting another six years between visits?" She asked, not feeling great about it.

"Not the first time, right."

She shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Negan," Tory looked at her hands as she unwrapped the lunch. "I should have talked to you."

"You were going through lots of shit, a lot of it my fault."

"I knew most of what I was getting into," she passed him the sandwich. It had a good amount of bacon, like Viv said it should. "You knew too."

"You tried to warn me. I should have listened."

They were quiet for a few moments.

"Rick would have killed you, or you him. The only good thing he did for you was show you how to recover your humility."

Negan chuckled bitterly.

"We had something good back then, some of it."

Nodding, she took a bite of the sandwich and chewed it until she felt ready to swallow and continue talking.

"Some of it, definitely, but the part with suffering and horrible disfigurement was not great."

"It taught people not to mess with the system."

"And the system was biased, corrupt and terrible, so spare me the discussion of forms of government. I have had more than a decade to read up on it."

"You have grown." The veiled accusation was there too. You’ve changed.

They looked at each other, their eyes meeting in a sort of equal footing they never had before. As if the years had finally caught them up with each other.

"I will talk to Rick once he is back. You deserve freedom, despite all of it."

"And what am I to do?"

"Live. Escape. Be free."

"And you, Gorgeous?"

"I'll be free too."

•••   •••   •••

His soulmate wanted to be free of him and Negan wasn't sure how he felt about that.

He would not deny that, in some of his best moments, he had dreamed of being a free man who could offer her something other than waiting for an old, damaged man without any sort of thing to offer her.

I'll be free too. She'd said that.

It had been a long time, maybe she did love her fucking doctor boy.

Worst thing was, Negan didn't dislike the man. He had taken care of him once when he was sick and had been actually pretty damn cool.

But imagining him with Tory and maybe being deliriously happy made something inside him twist.

Then again, he had many chances in his life. He had loved a few people too. His mother, Lucille, Elle… he didn't dare say he loved Tory, because he had not shown her anything close to love. But he had wanted to give himself the chance and it had not worked, not because of her.

She had opened her heart to him and he'd thrown it on her face and spat on it, before expelling her from his presence.

Yet, she wanted him to be free.

He didn't deserve that.

•••   •••   •••

She kept visiting. She kept talking to him and making him laugh more often than not.

Negan wished he was worth her effort.

He dreaded the moment Rick came back.

He expressed as much.

Tory had looked at her hands and then at him.

"Let's go one day at a time, yes?"

•••   •••   •••

Tory fell back on the chair, shock rippling through her like a wave.

"Dead?"

Eugene nodded.

"Unfortunately, it wasn't something that Rick could have foreseen. He wasn't expecting to be shot four times."

An incredulous laugh bubbled up her throat. Fucking inappropriate. Her friend scowled. 

"Four times?"

"Without counting Carl shooting him dead," Eugene clarified. Her hand racked through her hair and her eyes filled with tears. She didn't know where they were coming from.

It wasn't vindication, or relief, they were not from grief either.

Confusion was the closest she got to an answer. 

Anger.

"Of course he would die now," she growled softly. "Fuck's sake." Tory stood from the chair and paced briefly before looking at Eugene. "What now?"

"Michonne is forming a council of sorts, until some sort of democracy can be established." Eugene finally spoke. "She wants you there."

That gave her pause.

"Why?" The real question was, of all people, why her?

"You were in Alexandria before any of us."

"It's not just Alexandria now, Eugene. It's also The Hilltop, the Kingdom and Doveport."

"And the Commonwealth too,” he added.

"Pardon my French, but that's a shit-ton of responsibility." It could be thousands of people.

"I believe it's precisely because of that. You would be a voice for opposition when you believe it right."

She looked at the man for a moment, weighing him as never before.

"I'm flattered." She wasn’t but Eugene ignored her evident sarcasm as he continued talking.

"You do not need to be, it was an objective observation after years of personality study."

"Thanks?"

"None need to be given." He paused. "Will you accept?"

"Only until democracy is properly established," She shrugged. “I suppose.”

•••   •••   •••

Rick was dead.

In a way, Negan was shocked.

Not at the fact that he had made an enemy that would have absolutely no honor, and would shoot him while he was on his bed.

He was shocked because, at times, Rick had seemed a figure larger than life itself.

And he was dead, shot by some idiot and then put down by his own son. Son who was now looking at him with his lone eye, looking for answers that Negan did not have.

"Sorry, kiddo," was all he could say.

Carl pursed his lips. "I didn't want to shoot him."

Negan shook his head. "It might surprise you, but I know. I'm really sorry, Carl."

•••   •••   •••

The council of the Commonwealth was formed by a good amount of people. There was Michonne, Carl and Tory herself from Alexandria. Maggie and Charlotte represented The Hilltop and Carol represented the Kingdom, along with Jerry. The Sanctuary had Martha completely at the helm, with Lucas too busy to care for the council while they battled some petty internal disputes.

She had no interest in knowing who the people from the other communities were; she just wanted them to fucking agree to something. She wished Eugene were there instead, he would have been a far better choice.

Yet, here she was, waiting for some idiot or other to agree what to do. Her own idea hadn't even come up.

"What about a public vote from every community?" She suggested. "We were a federation once, we could be again, once those candidates are chosen, we can choose a general leader."

"So, a party system," some old man sneered.

"The communities are not parties, but being a libertarian or whatever else won't help us get a grip and keep rogue elements from straying and causing chaos." Tory said, trying to keep it simple. "Elections are not only good, they are logical. And we can hold public votes with tallies if you wish."

Michonne laughed, but it was approving.

"I like it." 

Some others seemed to agree.

"We could create a whole system with people who are specialized in certain things." Another voice expressed.

"What's next? Do we get a congress?"

"We live." Maggie said.

•••   •••   •••

It was a whole year before it was all straightened out.

Maggie had won the election, but it didn't much surprise Tory. The older woman was a competent leader and she was ruthless when necessary. 

Yet, Tory waited until Daryl left Alexandria for good to approach Michonne about Negan.

That was where she found herself, watching the former lawyer as closely as she was being watched.

"Free?"

"Free under my care, I suppose," she chuckled. "More like parole."

Michonne sighed. "Why?"

"Because I kept my word and I gave Rick back something he valued more than life itself and he still screwed me over, and you know it."

"Victoria—"

"You had him with you for RJ, RJ knew his dad, I… My daughter deserves that too. Negan won't do anything, I'll make sure."

"It's a burden."

"I'm willing to do it, Michonne. Please, just… don't make me beg."

"Give me time," the de facto leader of Alexandria nodded. "It's not a yes."

Tory nodded. "But it's not a no."

•••   •••   •••

Negan could remember Rick and Michonne's words when they had defeated him years and years ago.

That he would set an example.

Yet, he was being offered a chance.

Another chance.

She was waiting for his answer, Michonne.

"Yes."

She nodded. "If you step out of the line, I will cut your head off so fast you won't know what hit you."

He chuckled.

"I want to keep my neck, thanks." He looked at his hands. "Thank you, really. I fucking mean it."

"Don't make me regret it, Negan." They shared a look of understanding and he nodded once more. “You don’t deserve someone like her, you know, or all the things you’ll get once you’re out, this…is mercy.”

“I’ll remember.”
