Not sure if this is enough to go off of but I loved the poly!poolverine fic where they rescued the reader. I was wondering if we could get some more of them being protective of the reader 🙏🏻
Tumblr media
The bar is pretty crowded tonight. You nurse a rum and coke and hope Logan and Wade are able to find you in the corner booth you managed to snag, because you know the second you go to order another some opportunistic patrons will take your spot - and you’ve been on your feet all day at work so there’s no way in hell you’ll let that happen.
You take a sip. It’s warm now, ice long since melted in the heat of the room. You grimace at the taste as someone slides onto the bench next to you. 
It is not one of your boys. 
“Hey, baby.”
He’s big. Kinda guy who goes to the gym every day big, which isn’t inherently bad - but from the way he uses his size to press up against you there’s a little bit of unease rising in your chest. He puts his elbow on the table so that he can rest his jaw in his hand, biceps flexing in the tight shirt he wears. 
“I’m waiting for someone,” you say, as calmly as you can, hoping this will deter him. It does not. 
“So? We can have a little talk, can’t we? Not hurting anybody.”
His hand goes to cover yours where it rests on the table. You snatch it back. He frowns. 
“Dunno who you’re waiting for, but they probably shouldn’t have left you here alone. Looks like they don’t care about you, honey.”
“Jesus Christ,” you mutter, annoyed, deciding it’s not worth it. He won’t go so you will. You slide out the free side of the booth - but you’re forced to stop when he grabs your wrist. 
“I wasn’t done talking to you yet,” he says. Okay. Now you’re panicking. You manage to shake yourself free of his grasp and quickly push through the throng of people, hoping to lose him in the crowd. No such luck. He knows where you’re heading. 
The air is cold on the street as you speed up; not running, never running, that might incite a chase. He’s on your heels anyway. 
“Hey, are you just gonna keep ignoring me?”
“I told you I’m not interested!”
He grabs you again, harder this time. A grip you can’t break free from. 
“You know, you should learn not to be such a bitch —”
“Oh! Isn’t this fun! Sorry to interrupt this little show of misogyny in action but it’d be great if you could let go of our pookie.”
You’ve never been more relieved to hear Wade’s voice. Suddenly you’ve got someone either side of you: the brick which is Logan on your left, and the snark which is Wade on your right. 
The guy who’s holding you does not drop your arm. He frowns. 
“Who the fuck are you?”
“They’re who I was waiting for,” you say quickly, as if this will deter him. The man laughs, loudly, cruelly.
“Sorry, you’re in some kinda threesome with this old fucker and whatever this dude is? Fuck, honey, you really need someone to show you what a real man—”
He does not get a chance to finish. Logan’s fist has collided with his face with such ferocity you can hear his nose break. The man yelps and staggers backwards, you bring your hand to your chest for safety. 
“Should’ve let go, bub,” he mutters, massaging his knuckles. Wade deflates. 
“Aw, I wanted to get the first hit in!” He peers over at where the guy is laid out flat. “Go on, get back up. If I don’t throw a punch it emasculates me, and I’m very sensitive about it.”
You roll your eyes, tugging at his sleeve. 
“Let’s just go, guys. I don’t think he’s gonna follow us.”
“One sec.”
Wade strolls over and puts his boot on the guy’s chest, pushing down until he’s wheezing.
“You wanna apologise?”
The guy groans out a sorry, and you give a curt nod when Wade turns to see if you’ve accepted it.
“Don’t do this bullshit again, with anyone, or I’m gonna find you, rip your dick off, then feed it to my adorable, hideous dog.”
They cage in around you as your turn, two loyal hounds at your beck and call. You throw a couple of glances over your shoulder as you leave but it’s as you suspected: the guy remains on the cold concrete. When you’re far enough away to feel safe they slow to a stop. 
“You okay?” Logan asks, lifting your chin with a finger so that he can get a good look at you. You nod. 
“Yeah. Thanks for being there in time.”
“I’m sorry baby, we should have got here earlier, but peanut here tore a guy’s arm off so we had to go and clean up first—”
“Oh god, stop,” you say, pulling a face. You don’t want to know about their line of work, very happy for the business and personal life gulf to be a wide one. “Let’s go get some pizza and head home.”
“Anything you want,” says Logan, squeezing your hand. 
Anything where you’re between them is what you want. Safe and happy, they’ll make sure you’re both.

Thank you even if you don't do my request I love how you characterize them. You write Raphael really well also [: - ⛓️
telling them they're your favorite
Tumblr media
includes: older brothers, belphie, barbatos, raphael x/& gn!reader, luke & gn!reader (no pronouns mentioned)
wc: .7k | rated g | m.list
a/n: ught this was so fun to write and tysm!! i hope you enjoy! my inbox is open to chat, req, and leave feedback so come say hi <3
reblogs plz =)
Tumblr media
➳ lucifer flicks a glance over at you. “is that so?” he asks, brow raising. “i thought you didn’t have favorites.” “well, i would never admit it to the rest of them, but you just get me so well. and cause me the least number of headaches,” you reply, and he lets out a half-chuckle. “i wonder why you’re admitting it to me now,” lucifer ponders aloud. “it probably has nothing to do with the fact that i know you’re hungry and know i keep snacks hidden in my desk.”
Tumblr media
➳ mammon loses his composure quickly, sputtering. you don’t think you’ve ever seen his cheeks get that red that fast. he recovers after a long moment, chest puffing out. “i always knew it,” he insists, pride heavy in his tone. “i mean, i am your first man an’ all. it’s only natural that you’d like me best, especially since i am the coolest and best-looking of all of us.” you laugh, and he goes on. “but ya should tell me. why exactly am i your favorite and what do you like about me best?”
Tumblr media
➳ levi shakes his head. “no, you’re just saying that to cheer me up. there’s no way a gross, lonely, yucky otaku like me is your favorite!” “you shouldn’t say those things about yourself,” you insist, laying on the puppy-dog eyes for n extra guilt factor. “it makes me sad. and i hate seeing my favorite–or should i say my bias?–sad.” levi gives you a little half-smile, convincing clearly working, and you decide to go in for the kill, prey upon his envy. “but i suppose if you don’t want to be my favorite i can pick someone else…” wow, did that turn his mind around!
Tumblr media
➳ belphie huffs out a laugh. “please, i know you wouldn’t actually ever admit it, even though it’s true. what is it you want?” even if you insist, you know he won’t believe you, or at least believe you’re actually admitting it like he said, so you just come clean. “well, i need a ride and mammon’s the only other one home but he always makes me give him gas money.” “i knew you wanted something,” belhie grumbles good-naturedly as he pulls himself out of bed. “fine, but only if i get payment of my own. don’t you think a kiss should be enough?” his eyes slant devilishly. “at least to start.”
Tumblr media
➳ barbatos smirks. “i didn’t know my food was that good.” “are you kidding me?” you reply, grabbing another mini-cupcake. “these are so freaking good. barbatos, if you promised to bake for me every day i’d marry you in a heartbeat.” this gets a rare true smile out of him, one complete with crinkles at the corners of his eyes. “don’t let anyone else hear you saying that,” he warns, “or else you’re going to have a bunch of wannabe-bakers messing up the kitchen at the house of lamentation, and is that something you really want to deal with?”
Tumblr media
➳ luke pumps his fist, vibrating with excitement. “i knew it! i knew it, i knew it, i knew it! of course you like me the most, especially compared to those mean demons!” wrapping his arms around your waist, he gives you a tight hug, looking up at you affectionately. “you’re my favorite too, mc! besides simeon of course, but no one will ever beat him.” you laugh, ruffling his hair, and even though it’s mean of you to think you’re sure if he were a puppy his tail would be wagging a million times a minute. “well, it is simeon so i suppose that’s fine.”
Tumblr media
➳ raphael blinks uncomprehendingly. “me? i’m your favorite? but, we haven’t even known one another for that long and you seem so close with the brothers!” before he can fully spiral, you smile, knocking against his shoulder. “and? i really like you. you’re kind, smart, genuine, and a good mediator. why wouldn’t you be my favorite?” you leave then, but for the rest of the day note the small, bashful smile he wears, and the way he can’t make eye-contact for more than a few seconds at a time without looking away, ears turning the slightest bit red.

Lost (18) - State of my head
Tumblr media
Tara Carpenter x female Reader
Summary: To anyone on the outside, and to Tara’s friends, you were Tara’s fierce protector, the MMA fighter who’d take anyone on for Tara. The Guard Dog, as Amber called you. You had no idea you’d have to protect her from people who claimed they loved her. It didn’t matter. As long as you and Tara had one another there was nothing you wouldn’t be able to survive.
Story warnings: Scream violence, family issues, trauma, angst, certain sensitive topics
Word count: 5.3k
Story masterlist / First part / Previous part / Next part
-The only way I'm leavin' is dead That's the state of my, state of my, state of my head-
You read about it a few times, just out of curiosity, just to explain the feeling you'd occasionally get when you completely relaxed, and everything came easy and naturally. That feeling when you just entered the flow, and you didn't think about anything. Maybe it was the survival instinct kicking you into it, but you just began moving as the knife approached you from the left. It all seemed so slow to you in that moment, and your body felt weightless, as if you didn’t have to think, as if you only had to give in and move as you felt was right.
You stepped back, letting Quinn's hand go past your head before you grabbed and twisted her wrist. The knife fell into your hand, and you just slashed through her throat. The blood gushed from her throat, and you saw life fading from her eyes before she even had the time to properly process what happened. In your daze it just registered as information, barely evoking any feeling within you. She tried to kill Tara, and everyone else you loved, this was just the response.
You lifted her body up just as Bailey raised his gun and began firing. Four shots later he stopped shooting and stepped back, looking horrified as you just tossed Quinn's body to the side.
You turned your attention to Thomas and saw him shaking his head with a smirk on his face. "Come on then, let's leave the families to their own conflict," he backed away toward the doors leading to the room you and Tara were in before all the while motioning for you to follow him.
"Y/N," Tara's worried voice reached you.
You didn't look at her. You didn't take your eyes off Thomas for a single moment. Thomas killed Susan. Getting Thomas away from Tara was the best option. Bailey was shaken, Ethan was injured, they’d be easy to deal with. "Don't interfere or come after me. This is my battle," and then you took off, running after the former MMA fighter.
You ran into the room and couldn't see him anywhere. You still ducked, avoiding a high kick from behind just in time and spinning around to try and slam an uppercut into his jaw.
Thomas just barely regained his footing and leaned his head back, avoiding the punch, though a quick but a bit weaker hook kick to the guts made him stumble back. The abrupt move cost him his balance and you elbowed him on the cheek with your other arm. Taking the opportunity, you pulled him into a clinch and slammed your fist into his face repeatedly. After the fourth punch connected, he managed to put his forearms up to try and guard his face, but you switched to kneeing him in the guts, twice. His knees buckled and you smashed a haymaker into the side of his head.
Thomas stumbled to the side, eventually dropping to his knees as you went after him and dropped a kick right on his back. He grunted, scrambling to his feet, and avoiding a kick to the side of the head by less than an inch. “Damn, you’re strong,” gasping for air he ran up the stairs.
You didn't run, feeling no need to rush this when he was already feeling the strikes you landed. You made your way up the stairs when he threw a chair at you. You just caught it and brought it down on top of him when he tried to attack you, probably thinking you'd dodge and leave yourself more open for an attack that could send you down the stairs. The old chair shattered, and the splinters made tiny cuts on his head and shoulders.
You watched the tiny splinters and pieces of wood falling down to the dusty floor and then looked up. When your eyes met his you could see fear within them. Good. You raised your knee up, connecting it with his jaw, he stumbled back, scrambling back to his feet. He spat a tooth out and began running away once again. He reached some ladder and began climbing up. You followed him and realized he brought you to the roof. For a moment you took your surroundings in. The inside of the theatre wasn't in the greatest condition, but the roof was way worse. There were rusty rebars sticking all over the roof and there was no fence or anything that would keep someone from falling.
You tilted your head to the side when he pulled out the knife.
"Do you want to know why I'm doing this?" he asked as he tried to catch his breath.
"Don't care," you replied evenly, not showing any signs of emotion to him at the moment. You looked at ease as you walked up to him, only to abruptly close the distance between you and land two quick hits to his face. Thomas dropped down, trying to grab your leg and bring you down, but you jumped back, using the same tactic he used in the bodega to gain advantage. You sidestepped him and kicked him guts, even lifting him off the ground for a moment.
He coughed as he came back down and his eyes widened as you grabbed his collar and slammed him into the roof, thus knocking the wind out of his lungs. He managed to bring his arms up, shielding his face as you kept punching his forearms to break his guard. Punch after punch landed and finally you made him drop his guard. He took a hit to the face, just barely staying conscious as the back of his head collided with the concrete under him. Desperately, he moved his head to the side, evading the second punch. And in that same desperation he tried to stab you in the throat, but you easily caught his wrist.
He kept pushing though, and while you had the upper hand you still chose to step back from him. With the knife between you two you couldn’t properly hit him.
He stumbled to his feet, gasping for air and spitting out blood. Out of the blue, he smirked and rushed at you, you didn't have any time to react in any other way but to try and go for his neck, but the moment he lifted you off the ground and pushed you a couple of feet back you screamed. He let you go and took several steps back, breathing heavily as you gasped for air.
You looked down, seeing a rusty rebar dripping with blood coming out of you, just beneath your chest. It went right through you, and you were barely able to reach the ground with your feet to keep it from messing you up even more.
"You are about to die anyway, and you did give me quite a thrill of battle just now, hell, you’re a better fighter than me, so let me tell you a secret," Thomas approached and stabbed the knife into the right side of your chest. He left it there as you just stood there, unable to even muster the energy to move due to the rebar piercing through you. "You were supposed to die right after your fight with Anya, but Bailey offered me lots of money to help him, so you got to live for almost another year."
He pressed against the rebar, forcing a blood-curdling scream out of you as you choked on the blood filling your lung.
"I became a bit of a hitman about five years ago, you know?” it was the first time you heard about it, it wasn’t like a background check on him would just reveal it. “And someone hired me to kill you. Someone who knew all about you and Zack, as well as Susan. Trust me, the fact that you are his half-sister makes this even better, Y/N. You can die knowing you'll be my favorite kill for a long, long time, maybe even for as long as I live," he twisted the rebar and slowly began pulling. "I have to admit though, I've been hired to kill someone's parent before, but I've never been hired by parents to kill their only child. They couldn’t let their reputation be tarnished by their own daughter being caught up in barbaric conflicts," he yanked the broken rebar out of your body, and you dropped down on your side, a pool of blood already forming beneath you.
Your own parents, huh? Somehow you weren’t too surprised. It didn’t hurt you, that relationship has been dead for years now. You were no more than strangers now, but it pissed you off that they still tried to interfere in your life. Bastards… You just felt sorry, because you didn’t have any energy left, they would win, they would get what they wanted.
You were on the verge of losing consciousness as you stared at the rebar that was tossed to the side. He knelt down next to you and pulled the knife out of your chest. "Sorry, I have to make this look as Ghostface-like as possible," you weren't even sure where he was stabbing you, but you felt the cold steel entering your body several times before your fingers clenched around the blood-soaked rebar. You couldn’t leave Tara, not like this, not when the two of you had those fights, not until you made things with her right, then you could succumb to your wounds if there was no way to survive, but you needed to make things right, and you needed to know she was alive. So, pushing through your limits, you stabbed Thomas through the neck. He stumbled back, but he was still holding onto you, so he somehow pulled you to your feet and the two of you stumbled to the right, plummeting from the roof to the pavement below.
You landed on top of him, but the impact still shook you to your core. Everything hurt, your vision was fading, you felt your heart struggling to keep you alive, it felt like your life was flashing in front of your eyes, the snippets of your time with Zack, your first lessons, meeting Susan, carrying Tara, watching movies with Tara, laughing with her, winning the title, kissing Tara, that and a lot more flashed in front of your eyes.
You gasped, the very breath you took making your lungs feel like they were on fire. You had to make sure he was dead, that he couldn’t go after Tara, now or later.
With what little consciousness you had left you saw the knife Thomas dropped next to you two. You fell on top of him, just barely cushioning your fall and letting you stay conscious, but he wasn’t that lucky. You grabbed the knife by the blade and just dropped your arm, hoping it would pierce his throat. You were vaguely aware of some resistance, so you pushed your left palm against the butt of the knife and felt a couple of drops of warm liquid hit your face. You dropped to the side, still holding the knife, and thus twisting it in his throat. If he somehow survived rebar to the neck and the fall you were sure this killed him.
You tried to get up, but your body wouldn't move. The image of Tara’s face came to your mind, but not even that could push you any further and the darkness consumed your consciousness.
~X~
Tara sat with Sam on the stairs in front of the mannequins. She killed Ethan, though he managed to stab her in the stomach. And she got shot in her left arm. As the adrenaline in her body faded away and the pain began being more noticeable she remembered what you said, well, what you implied, that Sam wasn’t as capable as you were of protecting Tara. She didn’t agree with that, but she was fairly sure this wasn’t helping her arguments. Even though it really was true that Tara was safest when she was with you. Speaking of Sam, she killed Bailey and was actually pretty much unharmed. Tara was so relieved Sam was okay, even if her own wound was hurting her like hell, but more importantly, something didn't feel right.
"Y/N is taking too long," she stood up, unable to shake off a bad feeling she had. She should have ignored you; she should have gone after you the moment she knew Sam was fine. You'd be fine though. You were much stronger than her or Sam. You'd come back through that door, and you'd be fine, and you'd pick her up and hold her because you'd all make it out of this against all odds. And she’d do everything in her power to help you, to comfort you and be there for you as you grieved. Fuck, you lost Susan, and Tara was devastated by that, angry that Thomas would go after her, but you would take it way worse. She remembered that time you almost called Susan mom, and Tara felt her heart breaking, knowing you now lost someone that important to you.
She and Sam raised their heads when Danny ran in with half a dozen police officers and paramedics.
"Tara! Get outside right now, it's Y/N!" her heart nearly stopped when she realized he had blood on his shirt and hands.
Tara ran past him, not caring if her wounds would start bleeding again, she rushed outside and saw an ambulance surrounded by pure chaos. Between all the paramedics she saw blood dripping to the floor of the van.
"The bleeding won't stop! We're losing her!" it couldn’t be you.
It was you.
You were stronger than this.
You weren’t.
This wasn’t happening.
This was happening. And right in front of her, and Tara had no idea how she didn't collapse right then and there as she stumbled forward and reached the van.
"Stay back, miss!" one of the paramedics warned her.
Tara didn't understand what they were telling her. She couldn’t comprehend what was happening in front of her eyes. This wasn’t true, this was… She watched you, your clothes soaked with blood, she watched the blood dripping down. "Y/N? Baby?" this couldn't be happening. This was a nightmare. She must have fallen asleep and was having the worst nightmare of her life. "Baby, please," she cried out weakly, reaching in to grab your hand.
You were cold and still. You didn't react to her touch.
She was losing you right in front of her eyes, and the sudden weakness in her body and a paramedic pushing her away made her drop your hand. All she could see was your hand, covered in blood. “Y/N,” she called out your name, feeling as if you were disappearing right in front of her eyes, as if you were going away from her.
"Her pulse is getting weaker!" someone yelled and all of a sudden all Tara could hear was intense buzzing, all she could feel was the blood, your blood, sticking to her hands, all she could see was dark red liquid and your unmoving hand, your body hidden behind the paramedics trying to save your life.
“Y/N!” she cried out, gasping for air, but not caring for a moment as her lungs struggled for oxygen. “Y/N!” you had to wake up, you had to open your eyes, to move, to give her any sign that you were going to be fine. “Don’t! Please wake up!” she began coughing, her body convulsing as she went into shock, just barely clutching onto the ambulance doors, the closest she could get to you. “Please don’t leave me, please, Y/N, please don’t,” she cried and screamed, and tried to shake off whoever was pulling her away from the ambulance, away from you. "Let go of me!" she screamed, breaking free just as the ambulance closed and drove off and Tara just dropped to her knees as some paramedic began checking on her.
It didn’t matter what was happening to her. It didn't matter how she was. They were taking you away from her! She looked to her side when Sam dropped to her knees next to her, Sam was crying. "They found a rusty rebar near her, it went through her."
Too much. It was too much.
“Tara!” Sam was yelling her name, but it didn’t matter, none of this mattered.
Everything just went black, and she fell into Sam’s arms.
She was losing you.
~X~
When Tara woke up, she was in the hospital, surrounded by Sam, Chad, Mindy, and Danny. She immediately sat up and tried to get up, but Sam stopped her. "Y/N?" she needed to know, her eyes frantically searching their faces for any sign or reaction to your name.
"She's alive!" Sam quickly reassured her, and Tara felt like she could breathe again, even if she began crying from relief.
You were alive, you survived, you didn’t leave her alone. She looked down at her hands as Sam hugged her tightly. They were no longer stained by blood, but she still felt as if they were covered with your blood, and her hands trembled as she remembered that sensation. She couldn’t stop the tears falling from her eyes at the mere thought that she nearly lost you. That maybe mere minutes saved your life.
"I need to go and see her," she tried to get up, but Sam was still holding her down and Tara just now realized Sam was crying as well. You were alive, so why was Sam crying? Sure, you were probably still unconscious, much like she was after Amber first attacked her, but you’d be fine, you’d wake up in a couple of hours, maybe half a day, even a day, but you’d be fine. You’d wake up, your wounds would heal and you’d go home.
"She's in a coma, Tara, she lost too much blood, and they don't know if she'll wake up," Sam's voice cracked as she said that.
Tara just felt like her whole world fell apart all over again.
“Let me go, I need to see her,” she whispered, fearing that she would shatter if she didn’t see you, even comatose. Anything would be fine as long as she could see you were alive.
Sam sighed, but relented and took her to your room. Tara nearly dropped to her knees; she would have if Sam wasn’t there to catch her. You… you were just lying there, the heart rate monitor beeping was the only proof you were still alive.
“What happened to her?” Tara had to know, she needed answers as she managed to drag her body to your bed and take a hold of your hand. It wasn’t as cold as it was before, but she still sobbed when you didn’t respond.
“A rusty rebar went through her, from the small of her back to just below her chest, it’s a miracle nothing vital was hit. Thomas stabbed her five times, and then she fell from the roof with him,” Sam was the one to tell her.
Tara just remained silent as she sat down on the very edge of your bed and touched your cheek. “It’s my fault,” she eventually said.
“Tara, no, you can’t think like that,” Mindy immediately disagreed.
“Mindy’s right, you didn’t hurt Y/N, Ghostface did,” Chad added, but Tara just shook her head.
“I came up with the plan. Going to the theatre was my idea,” no one could make her change her mind, as far as she was concerned this was on her and no one else. Especially since you only went along with it only to keep her safe. If she made a better choice, if she was more patient, if maybe she waited a bit longer, or if she just plain and simple didn’t argue with you so much, further stressing you and making you more tired, than this wouldn’t have happened. “I don’t deserve her, and I’m fine with that, as long as she’s alive and wakes up, I’m fine with anything,” because she’s been doing everything wrong. She’s accused you of being possessive, she made you worry, she nearly got you killed again, and… what Thomas said, she had no right to argue against that.
So, if you woke up and you decided you never wanted to see her again, Tara would be fine with that. As long as you woke up, as long as she knew you were alive and happy, Tara would not complain once. She would only want, if you allowed her to, to take care of you until you recover, and nothing more, that would be all she would ask for.
~X~
Two days later you were still in a coma, with no signs of waking up any time soon. Tara didn't even have any energy left to cry, she just sat by your side, afraid to leave you even for a second. What if you woke up and she wasn't there? What if something went wrong and she wasn't there. If she allowed even that then you really might as well just tell her to get lost.
"Please, wake up," she whispered, she needed you to wake up, to say anything, or even to just look at her. Anything would be fine. She felt cold and alone, and she did the only thing she was used to doing when she felt like that. She reached out for you, she lay down on the bed, curling into your side while taking extra care not to touch any of the wounds you had. She was barely touching you, but just for a moment she felt warm and safe again. It was a fleeting moment of happiness, though.
You didn't touch her. You didn't hold her. You didn't move. You couldn't do any of that and Tara began shaking, the cold seeping into her bones as tears she didn't even know she had left soaked the sleeve of your gown.
Sobs and loud cries wrecked her throat and her whole body, and even when Sam came in to comfort her, frantically trying to make up for the lack of your warmth, Tara still kept crying. Yet, even with her screams you didn't react.
~X~
On the sixth day, only Sam came by, since Chad and Mindy could no longer delay going back home and had to get ready to leave. Tara was still at the hospital 24/7. She would read to you, talk to you, tell you repeatedly how much she missed and how much she loved you, she would just as often apologize to you, for plenty of things, and then promise you could do whatever you wanted, just as long as you’d wake up. You still didn't wake up.
On the tenth day, not even Sam could come, she had to cover two shifts at work. Tara stayed, she stayed, this time telling you about the future she imagined, the future in which you were awake, your future, but without her as she didn’t want to dream of the future you two shared. She didn’t dare dream of that, she had no right to it in her mind. You’d make a full recovery, finish college, and start your own business, and you’d have plenty of time to do what you love. She imagined a different life, one without Ghostface in it, a life she was spending with you and Sam and all the people she loved without trauma and fear of letting someone new in. She cried that day, overwhelmed by what could have been and what could be. Overwhelmed because you couldn’t respond, you couldn’t tell her if you wanted that exact future as well, or if you’d rather create that future somewhere else, or with someone else, as long as you woke up that would be enough for Tara. You still didn’t wake up.
On the twelfth day, Sam tried to get her to leave your side. At least for a little bit. To take a walk, get some fresh air. Tara did walk, she walked around your room. She'd open the windows to keep the air fresh for you when you woke up. Tara knew what Sam wanted to tell her; Tara knew Sam was losing hope that you'd wake up. But Tara wasn’t losing hope. You’d wake up. You’d come back to her, like you always did, and you’d recover and that alone would make Tara happy for the rest of her life. You didn't wake up that day either.
On the sixteenth day, close to midnight, Tara once again crawled into the bed next to you. For the first time since the second day. Once again, she felt the same freezing cold, she could barely breathe, she was wheezing and coughing next to you, crying her heart out after holding back the tears for the past six days. She needed her inhaler, but she didn't want to move from you, she needed to feel you next to her more than she needed air. And then her eyes widened, her breathing stopped, and her body stilled completely as the tears fell down her face freely. She felt it. The softest touch on her back. She looked at your face and saw you blinking slowly.
Tara just watched you, going as far as to forget how to breathe. You smiled softly, taking what little oxygen she had left away. You raised your hand, gently tapping her back. She realized you were telling her to breathe. So, she took a breath and continued breathing as she began crying once again, this time too happy to stop her tears.
"I love you, Y/N," she said as softly as she possibly could and pressed a kiss on your cheek. Regardless of what you would decide that would never change, she’d love you for the rest of her life.
She felt safe and warm once again, and you, as difficult as it must have been, wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer, silently giving her the answer.
~X~
Susan was killed by Thomas, probably brutally to match the Ghostface style. The woman that was more of a mother to you than your own mother ever was got killed because she was related to you and you couldn’t do anything to stop it.
With your head now cooled from the adrenaline and flow state and everything else that made you temporarily push that thought aside, all you were left with was grief. You couldn’t even attend her funeral, as it over and done by now. You weren’t sure if you would have went even if you were awake, you probably couldn’t face the fact that she really was gone, or that just being connected to you got her killed.
You couldn’t bring her back, you barely took your revenge, if it could even be referred to as a revenge. And so, you pushed through the grief and decided to focus on what you had left before the weight of the loss could make you crumble.
You groaned as you sat up, and moved back so you could lean back on the raised headrest, the muscle atrophy was setting in, and the injuries you suffered weren’t helping, even if everything was for the most part healed by now. It’s been a few hours since you woke up and everything still felt surreal. At least you could speak properly now that you drank some water.
Tara looked like she wanted to jump to her feet to help you, but she was restraining herself. “Love?” she flinched at the word, and you furrowed your eyebrows at her reaction.
“It’s my fault, I’m sorry,” she said as she bit her lower lip and squeezed her eyes shut.
For a few moments you didn’t understand what she meant, but then it came back to you. Going to the theatre was Tara’s idea, and if you had strength to spare you would have facepalmed. “Tara,” you groaned, leaning your head back. “Stop it,” you told her so firmly she had to look at you.
“But-“ she tried, but you shook your head and patted the spot next to you.
“Come here, Love,” you raised your arm, waiting for her to sit next to you so you could cuddle for a bit. “Tara, come on,” you encouraged her when she didn’t move. “I can’t keep my arm up for much longer,” you tried to half-joke so she could finally move.
And she did, she joined you on the bed and wrapped her arms around your waist.
“It’s not your fault lunatics are after us,” you kissed the top of her head. “You thought that was the best decision, and you decided to act. Who knows? Maybe this was the best possible outcome,” you told her, because while your recovery would suck, you were alive, and there was no way to guarantee it in some other hypothetical scenario.
Tara tightened her hold on you, and you looked down to see her looking at your lips.
“Afraid to kiss me?” you teased, poking her side a bit.
“Do you want me to?” she asked, uncertainty clearly showing in her eyes.
“I love you, Tara,” you said, definitively, with no hesitation and with as much conviction as you possibly could, and it was as if she understood something else, as if she got an answer to another question plaguing her mind, as she pressed her lips against yours.
~X~
You had to stay in bed even after you were released from the hospital. You didn’t have much strength left and until your wounds fully healed you couldn’t train either. But, you were alive and as long as you were alive any physical damage you suffered could be recovered from. You wanted to stay in a hotel, but Gale demanded that you, Tara and Sam stay in her apartment, it was big enough, and Tara and Sam coming probably saved her life. Hell, Sam’s been there for several weeks now.
So, here you were, lying in one of Gale’s spare bedrooms and catching up on some reading because watching a movie without Tara just felt wrong. You lowered the book as Tara came in, tray filled with food in her hands as you sat up in the bed. “That looks amazing,” you said, and it did look amazing, Tara made you an omelet, a fruit salad and crescent rolls, and from the looks of it she used your recipes.
“I learnt from a pro,” she kissed you gently and placed the tray on your lap before sitting down next to you. She leaned her forehead on your shoulder and sighed contently.
“Did you eat?” you asked before bringing the first bite of the omelet to your mouth.
“I’ll eat something later,” she hummed only for you to nudge her lightly with your elbow.
“None of that, open up,” you scolded her and brought a crescent roll to her lips. The two of you got into a bit of a staring contest, until Tara finally relented and bit off a part of the pastry. “Thank you,” you grinned and though Tara rolled her eyes she smiled and hugged you as tightly as your injuries allowed.
“Thank you for surviving,” she told you softly, her voice trembling slightly.
“Thank you for staying by my side,” you replied.
A/N: Big thanks to Anon who indirectly gave me a bit of an epiphany for my nickname problem.

Yes yes yes this chapter is actually 99% done and I really wanted to get it out this week, but alas, I am a butt.
For those that don't know, Please Mr. Postman is one of my ongoing KakuHida fics on AO3. A very domestic Modern AU in which Kakuzu is a big gwump living by himself with his 4 big ass dogs, and Hidan is his awful mailman that he may or may not become wildly attached to.
Despite the unusually large amount of mustard used in the last chapter, we are moving into it getting darker. Finding out that Hidan's home life is not all well, and Kakuzu is trying to figure out the extent of how not well that is, exactly. (Also finding out about Kakuzu's not so squeaky clean past)
Snippet from upcoming chapter:
"What happened?" It’s all he manages to ask, fists subconsciously tightening at his sides. 
Hidan shrugs. "Accident.”
Kakuzu growls low in his throat, eyes narrowing. "Do not treat me like a fucking moron and just answer the goddamn question, Hidan."
"Fine,” Hidan laughs, flashing a sharp smirk. “Maybe I like it rough.”
“Really?” Kakuzu sneers. “That’s what you’re gonna go with?”
“Why, you jealous?”
“Of this?” Kakuzu says with an edge of disgust, gesturing to Hidan’s fucked up face. “I knew you weren’t the smartest, Hidan, but Jesus fucking Christ. What kind of idiot lets someone do this to th—”
Hidan’s face flashes with disdain. Pulls hot and sharp like a nerve’s been struck. “It’s not like I fucking let him—” he restrains himself with a tight-lipped scowl and a heavy huff from his nose, “Y’know what? Yeah, you're right. I was kidding. Hah hah. Hidan made a bad fucking joke. It’s a big surprise, everyone’s shocked, right? Look, I just got into it with some asshole, it’s whatever.”
It’s not like I fucking let him—
Yeah, that’s not lost on Kakuzu. Pocketing that tidbit for later.
“You call this ‘whatever’? You can’t even walk right.” 
“You need to get your eyes checked, old man.” Hidan scoffs. “I’m walkin’ just fine. Don’t need a leash or anything. Look at me go.” 
“No,” Kakuzu says evenly, shaking his head. “I had lasik three years ago. I know what I saw. You’re limping like a wounded animal today.” 
“Lasik.” Hidan chokes out a laugh. “God, you take shit so literally sometimes. Look, bottom line is that you don’t know what you’re talkin’ about, okay? I’m fucking fine. I’m always fine.” 
“Oh, so this doesn’t hurt?” He reaches out and grabs Hidan by the hip with one huge hand. Puts some pressure on the joint he knows is bothering him. It’s like pressing a thumb to a bruised apple. Difficult to eye maybe, but easy to feel—at least when you’re Kakuzu anyway.
Like he said, he knows the human body intimately, and not in any way that’s romantic. 
Hidan’s not fooling anyone when he lets out a strained hiss vaguely resembling ‘shit’, his face twisting into a wince. “Okay. Okay, fine, fine. Ease up, Jesus,” he gasps. 
Kakuzu does. He’s really not trying to hurt him, but he needs to make a point and hey, imagine that, Hidan responds better to pain than logic. “That’s what I thought.”
“So, I got into a fight n’ got a little messed up,” Hidan huffs, exasperated and edging back into humor, rubbing at the back of his neck. “It’s not a big deal.” 
“What happened? With who?” Kakuzu’s mind reels. Is Hidan involved in some sort of illegal fighting ring? He’s seen Fight Club once before—stupid movie. Hidan seems like the kind of idiot that might join something like that.

[tf2 mini fic] roll over
BLU and RED spies take a smoke break together.
(Implied R!Sniper/R!Spy, PG)
bonus scene: the sequel for all bite. There was no way to fit it neatly in the main fic so here it is.
---
There is something different about RED Sniper. 
BLU Spy considers the body, slumped awkwardly in its seat. He taps his foot in contemplation.
Something is off. It bothers him that he cannot quite place it, but he has an instinct for this kind of thing. He remembers the way RED’s sniper had turned a little too late from the window. That flash of annoyance across his face had been fun to see, per usual, and he’d died quite appropriately to the butterfly knife. 
At the risk of soiling his shoes with blood, BLU Spy kicks the body so that it falls to the floor, splayed out and arms akimbo. He cranes his neck and pulls out his disguise kit.
After a moment, he blinks. Ah-hah. He sees it now. The change. He snorts, flipping through his paper masks until he finds the one with RED Sniper’s face on it.
“How interesting,” he says with a laugh, and takes a pen out from his pocket to make the correction.
---
There is a secluded backdoor in one of the factories with an awning that hardly anyone uses. The spies tend to take their ten minute smoke break there, away from the main battle but still close enough to hear whatever’s going on. It’s irrelevant on when the daily smoke break occurs, but this time BLU Spy leaves a note for an early meeting.
They smoke in silence for a bit. Both are leaning against the wall with the locked door between them. 
BLU Spy speaks up first, letting his arm fall back to his side, flicking ash from his cigarette. “There’s a possibility I had to update my disguise kit because of you.”
“Hm? Someone on my team wearing a new hat?” RED Spy asks.
They speak in the privacy of French, casual and pleasant, because it’s their only chance in the day to not be so secretive. A nice ten minutes to shoot the shit.
“No. It was something very subtle. But you know me, always obsessing over details.” BLU Spy pauses, just shy of being dramatic, because he can’t very well hold it in. He’s been waiting ages to speak to his counterpart today. 
“You do have an eye for them, Bleu. Well?”
“Your sniper, Monsieur Rouge,” Bleu says, watching RED Spy very carefully. “The one with the, hm, ‘keen eyes’ and ‘fast trigger’.” After a moment, he gleefully punches RED’s arm. “You sly dog.”
For three seconds, Rouge’s expression is one of perfect blankness. Bleu is about to congratulate him on his poise when Rogue shoots up from the wall to grab Bleu’s upper arm, shaking it with such intensity that Bleu fears his arm might vibrate out of its socket.
“No. Don’t tell me he’s wearing that. Not in public,” RED Spy starts, so aghast he abandons his carefully cultivated European French and slips back into his natural Quebecois accent. “This can’t be. I didn’t think he would-”
“I saw it myself.” Bleu shuffles the paper masks in his kit and carefully removes Rouge’s grip off him when he almost drops the entire stack. “Would you like to see? I’ve already added it to my repertoire.”
Rouge has since launched into a litany of “no no no no no no no, he can’t do this to me-” while Bleu takes his time finding the right mask. A second cigarette makes an appearance in Rogue’s fingers. He begins to smoke both at the same time. It’s a nostalgic sight to see. Bleu has not seen Rouge double fist cigarettes since their days at the university during final exams. 
Rouge hisses, “Please, M. Bleu, don’t put that o-”
Pleading hands grasp at his sleeve to no effect. Bleu slips on the disguise. Poor Rouge looks like he wants to perish on the spot from sheer mortification. His eyes dart to BLU Spy’s throat.
There is nothing at Bleu’s neck. Rouge would see his sniper’s RED uniform in perfect order, not a hair or button out of place.
BLU Spy lifts the kukri illusion, pointing to a very nice piece of strap fitted along the shoulder, a touch thicker than the rest of the sling. At first glance, it appears to be a nice lanyard to hang an extra carabiner on the shiny metal ring. 
Or perhaps something else could be clipped on such a fine metal ring. Who could say.
“Quite subtle indeed,” Bleu says, imitating RED Sniper’s voice, though the intonation is entirely wrong. He smiles, serene, and doesn’t hesitate to deal a killing blow in the form of a head tilt and a playful, “Arf-arf.”
There is a third cigarette between Rouge’s fingers. He squats down and smokes them all in silence, sucking them down to the filter. He looks like he wishes for the ground to swallow him up.
They still have four minutes left of their break so Bleu takes pity on the man and pulls off the mask. The disguise fizzes away, leaving him back in his blue suit. He pats Rouge’s shoulder and joins him squating on the ground, forearms resting on his knees. There’s only so much aloof leaning against a wall that he can take in a day. 
He nudges Rouge. “It’s going well, I take it?”
A sullen pause seems to be the only answer Rouge is willing to give until he finishes his cigarettes. After brushing off a credible amount of ash away, he grumbles, ”Yes.”
“Ah, my dear, so it really would’ve never worked out between us. How could I have competed with a piss-smelling hobo living in a dirty van? But don’t fret, sweet rival of mine, I still hold a special place in my heart from our delightful fraternity days-”
“Disgusting. Awful. Should you not wait to enact psychological warfare upon me until after our ten? At least you’ll be paid for the effort,” Rouge says stiffly. He sighs, rubbing his temples. “Take me back to Respawn. I need more ammo and cigarettes.” 
Rouge hands him a blade. Bleu cackles, not minding that Rouge has somehow stolen his own butterfly knife off him. Quite talented at that, those quick hands, even amongst other spies. 
“But of course,” he says, and slits RED Spy’s throat neatly.
For a very entertaining day ahead of him, it’s the least he can do 
---
Sniper gets cornered on the way to supper after his shift. It’s Spy, who looks unusually harried. 
“Promise me,” Spy says, serious, “Promise me you will not wear that thing around your neck in public.”
Sniper almost sputters. Awfully bold of Spy to bring it up in the middle of the hallway, in public, which seems like the opposite of what he wants. That thing could only mean one item in particular. Sniper puts up his hands, hissing softly, “There's a reason why I became a sniper, spook. I like hidin’ and stayin’ out of sight. You think, of all people, that I’d be an exhibitionist?” 
He truly cannot think of a worst thing to do. It’s a hard pass, if Spy ever asks this sort of thing from him, and Sniper wonders if this is going to be some kind of boundary-setting conversation. He hopes it isn’t. Not in the middle of the hallway and not right before supper. He’ll have to take his meal up in a tree if the conversation goes poorly—he can already feel a haunting embarrassment creeping in.
“Are you?” Spy asks.
“No!”
-----------------------------
Note:
RED Spy = French Canadian
BLU Spy = Cajun
Neither are European French, though they both speak it professionally. (Professional Frenchmen.)
I suppose the reason Sniper thinks he sucks at learning French (on his own) is probably because Spy is speaking French Canadian in their private moments. Ah well!

ok fine i'll give you all a little taste of what's happening in the next chapter of let sleeping dogs lie. you deserve it :3
"You all knew this from the start. You knew that I had murder running through my veins and every time I expressed my concerns you brushed them off!” she exclaims, all her frustrations mounting up into one giant pile that’s crashing around her. “I’ve told you everything I fucking know and you still think I’m lying?” “It’s not like that,” Shadowheart says and Rue doesn’t believe her. She doesn’t believe anything anyone says anymore. It’s frustrating and her head hurts and it would be so easy to coat the walls with their blood. You’d like that, wouldn't you? Put them in their place, child of Bhaal, reclaim your title - she shakes her head, pushing away the thoughts that creep in.
“No, it’s clearly like that. You all don’t trust me? Fine! I couldn’t give a shit! Maybe I’ve always been horrible and now you’re all coming to realise it,” she shouts, fists clenched at her sides.
hehe i looove the drama. love the in-fighting. love blending the Urge's thoughts & rue's thoughts by blurring what POV it's written in. girlie is having a rough time

prompts: prelude to ecstasy by the last dinner party.
here comes the feminine urge, i know it so well.
do you want me, or do you want control?
this is the only thing i know how to do.
i could never live with the guilt of lying.
and lately i've been thinkin', what if i keep sinking?
i hope they never understand us.
even when the cold comes crashing through, i'm putting all my bets on you.
cleanse my soul, make me whole.
she's there when i wake up, at the end of my bed with a smile on her face and a gun to my head.
do what i can to survive.
cause we're a lot alike.
a sailor and a nightingale dancing in convertibles/
i know i'm better off not looking back.
oh, anyone could kill me, and i'd never ever let it be you.
foolish thinking i could have you.
i don't exist without your gaze.
and just for a second, i could be one of the greats.
when i was a child, i never felt like a child.
you could swim in these eyes.
wine is on your blouse.
i wish i knew you back when we were both small.
what i'm feeling isn't lust, it's envy.
hold me, we can't go back.
you can hold me like he held her.
guide me, show me how, and let me be your arrow.
wish i could do without this blood on my face.
i will fuck you, like nothing matters.
time slips away.
to nurture the wounds my mother held.
i will hold your hands to stop them from shaking.
i am not the girl i set out to be.
the best a boy can ever be is pretty.
i fade away.
strike me,  pierce me straight through the heart.
it's my fate to have never seen you.
my darling, believe me, i was born to be with you.
i wish i knew you before it felt like a sin.
if i drown will they make me a star?
you don't wanna hurt me, but i want you to.
how i wish the trees would swallow me, make me a forest, take away my soul.
i'm just a mirror, pretty glass, an empty heart.
i wish that i had the guts–the dignity to put up a fight.
when you laid like a wolf with your head on my lap. i felt like one of those portraits of women protected by a beast on a chain.
i'll leave you flowers, but not my name.
what good are red lips when you're faced with something sharp?
when i put on that suit, i don't have to stay mute.
i'll see you on sunday.
i wish that i let you have the dignity of letting me go.
you smiled so sweetly as you threw me down the rocks.
oh, ballerina bend under the weight of it all.
no one else is to blame.
i wish i could be a beautiful boy.
i have gotten too tall.
when you drown, do they know who you are?
i need to slow my thinkin'.
i want to take your picture.
i'd spend the mornings by your side.
if anyone could kill me, it probably would be you.
is it in this city?
i break apart without your arms.
i wish you had given me the courtesy of staying one more night.
a guard dog there just for her. if only she know that with one wrong move, he'll turn around and tear off her hands.
when i drown, will i get very far?
no i won't speak to you.
forgive me, father, won't you take it back?
let me make my grief a commodity.
break my glass to fix your heart.
burn me.
je ne veux pas penser.
i wish you had given me the courtesy of ripping out my throat.
we're both just addicts.
if it takes all night, i will be on your side.
there is candle wax melting in my veins.
it could take some time, time to talk freely.
he's got letters on his fist: r-i-d-e.
tell me how you're feeling, i'll reflect the reason.
i'd die for you, no questions asked.
everyone will love me!
i wish i didn't want you.
do you want me to care when you just disappear?
failure to commit to the role, i admit was a failure you achieved on your own.
i'll be ceaser on a tv screen, champion of my fate.
ain't it fun to hold the world in your hand?
when you're lying here i believe you love me.
when you drown, they'll forget who you are.
everyone will like me then.
there's nothing for me. here, where the world is small.
i'd break off my ribs to make another you.
i'm only here, for your entertainment.
do you feel like a man when i can't talk back?

Party Banter #4
Read on AO3
Part 3 here
Series summary: A bunch of short scenarios involving Minthara and Galatea, based on some of the party's in-game banter.
A/N: This is longer than I intended. Also, some Halstarion on the side.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Astarion and Minthara’s relationship had always been a turbulent one. The fact that the vampire used to bed Galatea only made matters worse, and each time the two interacted, there was a vague sense of hostility in the air. 
Galatea felt that Astarion was still upset that the drow came in between them, and that Minthara was jealous over her being shared with someone else. Regardless, the tiefling tried to keep things civil between the two, although as their journey progressed, that was looking even more difficult than defeating the elder brain. 
One such time was during their journey to Baldur’s Gate, after fighting Ketheric Thorm. Galatea and Minthara had just recently become an item, and the snide remarks coming from Astarion would not end. 
He had approached the drow silently, as she watched Galatea walking a few paces ahead. Astarion likened her to a guard dog, but kept the thought to himself. Instead, he said “So…what’s it like caring for someone other than yourself, Minthara”
She was aware of his previous history with their leader, and how…less than stellar things had ended between the two. Usually, when the elf tried to get on her nerves, Minthara would simply ignore his presence. This time, she gave in. 
“You have never tried it, I assume.” She said, not looking at him. 
He laughed, sarcastically. “Gods, no. It is a lot of work and last time I tried,” He looked directly at Galatea and then turned to Minthara “It did not end well for me.” 
“You say that but It takes less work than you devote to maintaining your foppish facade.” She began. Then, turning to him, she whispered. “It would not phase me if that was one of the reasons your past relations have not ended well.” Speaking loudly once again, she finished with “And, besides, it is far more rewarding.”
Astarion’s nostrils flared and he bitterly replied. “Well, at least I was a better man, for the brief period in which I was loved.” He looked Minthara up and down. “Can’t imagine anyone wanting to do that for you though, dear.” 
He began to laugh but was soon interrupted when a fist made contact with his nose. “What the hells!” He groaned, holding his nose, while Galatea looked at him angrily. 
“I cannot stand you and the constant snide remarks about us anymore.” She held the lapels of his shirt, shaking him as she said “If you talk about Minthara like this again, I swear by all gods-OW” She screamed as Astarion bit into her hand, freeing himself. 
“What’s going on here?” Karlach said, as she approached. The others too had come to see the commotion. 
The vampires wiped his mouth and said “Say, are you going to leave the drow too, when you grow tired of her as you did me?” 
“Son of a bitch!” Galatea ran and jumped on him, as the two began fighting each other like cats. Minthara looked at Karlach and nodded, each woman grabbing one of them, to separate the two. 
Minthara held Galatea, as she struggled to free herself from the drow’s grip. Astarion did the same. 
“Enough.” Minthara said. “We have an elder brain to fight and this is how you’ll spend your energy? I expect better from both of you.” 
With a huff, Astarion freed himself from Karlach’s grip, and marched off without a word. The others followed, leaving Minthara and Galatea by themselves. 
“You can let go now, you know.” The tiefling said and the drow relented. She clutched her wounded hand.
Minthara crossed her arms. “Care to explain yourself.” 
“I’m irritated.” Galatea sighed. “I heard the whole conversation. I know why he keeps throwing jabs at you and I both and I just-” she shook her head “I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry.” 
“You’re right. You shouldn’t have.” She said, sternly. “I can fight my own battles.” 
“I’m well aware, but I’m also not going to stand idly while someone speaks like that to you.” Galatea looked down. 
Minthara’s gaze softened, as she uncrossed her arms and took a step closer. She held the tiefling’s wounded hand, covering it in between her both. A glow of warm, blue-ish light spread from Minthara’s hands to Galatea, and soon, her wounds were closed. 
“You’re sweet. Sometimes, I believe it is a detriment to your person.” She brought the now healed hand to her mouth, and gently kissed the palm. “I do not want to keep curing you because you decided to defend my honor.” 
Galatea nodded. “I’ll try to keep that in mind.” 
“Good.” 
Not far from where they were, Halsin worked on Astarion’s nose, while the vampire didn’t stop complaining for a single moment. 
“I just hate how they keep throwing those love sick puppy eyes at each other. It is irritating.” He said. “Gods, Minthara looks more like a guard dog than a lover with how possessive she is.” 
“And why does that bother you so much?” Halsin asked, wiping blood from Astarion’s forehead. “Weren’t you saying the other day that you didn’t care about them anymore?” 
The vampire huffed. “Not funny.” 
“I am asking sincerely.” 
He crossed his arms. “Well, it’s just…it’s annoying, don’t you think? Being surrounded by so much love.” Astarion said that last word as if it was something sour. 
“I, particularly, do not mind. However, I think you and Galatea were acting exactly like that before.” 
“Excuse me, it was completely different.” Halsin lifted one brow and Astarion turned his head. “You wouldn’t understand, and quite frankly, I am done with this conversation.” He began to move away, prompting Halsin to say one last thing. 
“I apologize. I didn’t mean to pry. But if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m all ears.” Astarion nodded and marched off. 
….
After that situation, things seemed to get slightly easier. Astarion began to spend more and more time around Halsin, which means that his constant yapping near Minthara had gone down. 
That didn’t mean that the provocations were fully gone. 
It was after a long day’s battle, everyone had settled in around a table in the Elfsong tavern, drinking and making casual conversation. As always, Galatea was sitting next to Minthara, as the drow complained about surface food. Astarion sat on the other side, circling his wine cup in hand, looking at the two of them. 
It was after the tiefling laughed at one of Minthara’s scowls that he stood up straighter and said “So…how does Lolth feel about romance?” The drow turned her attention to him, a murderous look on her face.
“I mean, I know things can get quite…brutal in the Underdark. Are you expected to bit your mate’s head off afterwards?” He finished his sentence with a smirk on his face, one the drow was too happy to get rid off. 
“Be grateful I no longer follow the Spider Queen’s teachings, daarthir.” She looked deep into his eyes. “If I did, you would be the first to fall into my web.” 
The elf’s jaw almost dropped to the floor, as his expression soured. “I can’t tell if you’re joking-” He turned to Halsin, asking nervously “She is joking, right?” 
The druid looked between the two of them, then to Galatea, and once again to Astarion before replying “Well, during my time in the Underdark, I never saw what you described happen, though the��metaphors of spiderwebs were constant.”
That seemed to distract Astarion, as he urged Halsin to talk more of his previous experiences. Meanwhile, Galatea turned to Minthara, brushing a strand of white hair from her face, and placing it behind the drow’s ear. 
“I am a bit jealous that I wouldn’t be the first to fall in your web.” She whispered in her ear. 
“There is no need for that.” Minthara turned towards her, a half smirk on her face. “If that were the case, you’d enjoy a much more privileged position.” 
Galatea raised a brow. “Oh? And where would that be?” 
Minthara didn’t reply, only moving out of the table and motioning for the tiefling to follow along. She quickly excused herself before holding the drow’s hands, the two moving upstairs to their room. 
But the two wouldn’t be the only ones sharing a night of passion, as after all had gone to sleep, Astarion and Halsin, having spent the rest of the time there sharing their thoughts of one another, would sneak off, only returning when daylight came.

Commander Lyle Rourke x SecondLieutenant!Lover!Reader || Drabble
Tumblr media
Plot: You're being honourably discharged and Rourke tries to cut you loose like a military man. Clean, swift, easy. He doesn't want to miss you at all.
He tries.
"One day, you'll choke on it." "Goddamnit."
Warnings: Angst and smut mentions. Unedited.
"Calm down. Its not like we were in love, darlin'."
As soon as those unsurprisingly cruel words crawl out of Rourke's mouth, his heavy and measured drawl like a knife to the gut that makes you stop short in your spot. Your eye widen and your lips part and for a moment you cant think of one single word to utter back to him; all you can feel is heartbroken.
Rourke's never surprised, you know that. But he certainly wasn't expecting that look on your face. Because you didn't realise it was anything near love, either- not until he said that. And you felt something in you snap.
His mouth is still tight, a tooth-pick tucked into his teeth and his eyebrows permanently furrowed but you see his fists clench at his sides. That tells you he's not completely unbothered by what's breaking between you two, but in true Rourke-fashion he still doesn't allow it to show. Like nothing bothers him. Sniffling, you look crossly to the side; you think you'd be unable to look at him, without screaming. Surely he cant keep that up forever. He has to break over this. He's going to miss you, you know it.
"I cant even believe... " The words lip out of you at a whisper, before you clear your throat and speak up. "Maybe... maybe we didn't date. You didn't introduce me to anyone with your hand on my back or- or tucking my hair behind my ear. Maybe we ate together over maps and campfires, not at restaurants. And we had to pretend we've never seen each other naked,.. But I've been your second lieutenant for years, and it was something. You know it. And to- to belittle it like that- I just- God- " You have to stop talking. You have to stop. So you hold a hand over your mouth and take a deep breath, closing your eyes and counting to ten. You cant even describe how terrible him saying those words is, you cant put it into words.
After a moment, Rourke gives a put-on sigh, and shrugs. "... Look, sweetheart, you were a good squeeze, don't get me wrong. I'm gonna miss you." Wincing at his disingenuous words, you fight to stay quiet. "But its over, now, alright? You're bein' discharged, which means we aint gonna see each other anymore. Here," Rourke raises his large hand before your eyes, assumedly for you to shake- a small sincere gesture, but its too little and too late. Giving another sniffle, you once again look away; a stubborn and sad look on your face. "Its been nice."
" -its been nice!?" You snap immediately, turning viciously back to him with a fire in your eyes. 2 years of seeing each other every day, going through the motions of everything together and sleeping together-- was 'nice'!?
"Well, yeah." He's still seeming unimpressed; pretending like nothing bothers him, and you're starting to realise that that's not going to change. You cant teach an old dog new tricks.
"Rourke- I- " Finally, you take a deep breath in through your nose; and let it out. You try to let out all your feelings for him, too. Doesn't work too well. "Fine. Deal with this... however you want. If you wanna leave it like this, enjoy. I don't- I don't care." You do, you do, you do, though!- The wobble at your lips gives you away. He definitely sees it, the frown on his mouth getting tighter and the furrow in his brows becoming deeper at the sight. "... But you know what you're giving up. One day, you'll choke on it."
With that, you turn on your heel and storm off, never wanting to see him again. You make it to the door, your fist tight around the doorknob and ready to swing it open them slam it closed again when you hear his voice behind you.
"Goddamnit."
You're fighting against the urge to turn around and find out what that means, fighting to keep going and put him as far behind you as you possibly can, when that choice is taken from you. A large hand wraps around your wrist and you're turned back around manually. You watch him flick the toothpick off to the side and before you know it, Rourke draws you in close and your eyes fall shut out of instinct and he seals his lips with yours in a deep, passionate kiss.
Its a better kiss then you have ever shared before; its not a desperate stolen tongue-kiss because no one else is looking, its not a slow dirty lead-up to sex, its not a peck on the forehead that you pretend didn't happen because it was too close- too soft- too affectionate.
Its a lovers kiss. Neither racing towards a finish nor nervous at all. Just a kiss, between two people who have done it a million times before. It says i love you.
When he pulls back, theirs a huskiness in his voice as he glares at you with his eyes; a gentle contradictory smirk on his mouth an inch away. "... hold on, there. You drive a hard bargain, ex lieutenant, and I gotta give it a think."

Adam Warlock x OC
Part 2
Word Count: 2.045
Warnings: Adam being cute, fluff, angst, slight jealousy, first kiss
Tumblr media
POV Seraphina
I got to know Adam better over the next few days and found his naivety almost sweet. He still had a lot to learn, mostly about himself and what he was capable of. I quickly grew fond of his mannerism and got used to his almost permanent presence.
When I was working with other people, you could assume Adam wasn't far and almost never let me out of his sight besides his own work. You couldn't see him, but I could almost feel his golden eyes burning into my shape.
Pete in particular tried to tease me about Adam chasing after me like a lost dog.
"5 bucks that Adam is sitting behind that building over here, staring at you", Pete laughed and pointed over his shoulder to a slightly taller building that had already been repaired. I could only roll my eyes and shake my head, "Pete this is getting old, don't you have other things to do?"
"Oh come on Phina, how can you not notice this! He's always around ready to protect you or whatever. It hit him hard and he's always glaring at me whenever I'm apparently 'too close'", Pete continued to laugh and wiggled along his eyebrows.
"First of all I am noticing him and secondly don't be ridiculous! He's just trying to understand everything better", I said quickly and closed the repaired junction box I was working on.
"He sure does understand that he doesn't like others touching you", said Pete and shrugged his shoulders with a grin, whereupon I laughed and gave him a light smack to the side, "stop it!"
POV Adam
With a bitter taste in my mouth, I watched Seraphina and Peter from a hidden building. I had recently completed my task and actually wanted to go back to Seraphina to see if I could help her, but when I found her, Peter was already at her side. I didn't like how close the two always were. Of course they had known each other for a long time, but why did Peter always have to touch her like that?
Whenever he hugged her or took her hand to pull her up or anything, my stomach clenched like I had eaten something bad. I had to hold myself back from marching towards the two and yanking him away from Seraphina.
Only I should be allowed to touch her like that!
A few days ago I saw two residents holding hands and hugging. I was a little confused because I've never seen anyone else hold hands, only hugs so far. Mantis had explained to me that the two were a 'couple' and that these actions were about love.
x
"Ohh but love is about so much more Adam! When you love someone you get butterflies in your stomach and you have to think about that person a lot", Mantis tried to explained after seeing my confused look, "you show affection to that person and would do anything for her, so holding hands is just a small part."
I nodded thoughtfully and looked back at the seemingly happy couple. They seemed to say goodbye to each other and when the two pressed their lips together it almost caught my breath.
In that moment, I knew right away that that's exactly what I wanted to do with Seraphina. Put my lips on her soft ones and sink into her warmth.
x
So I spent the next few days trying to show her as best as I could that I liked her and wanted her for myself. Whenever we went somewhere together, I took her delicate hand in mine, albeit hesitantly. Guided her safely by my hand from place to place, hoping she liked me too. After all, she never pulled her hand away or spoke negatively of my advances.
But Peter was a different matter. He put his arm around her shoulders when walking with her or hugged her longer than the other Guardians. He made her laugh and the two always seemed to have a great time together. Of course I also made her laugh, but most of the time I didn't even know why.
The only thing I could do was glare at Peter from afar while my hands clenched into fists for better control of my anger.
"Hey Adam you got a minute?" I was finally snapped out of my thoughts and quickly turned to Mantis, "what are you doing up here anyway?" She surveyed the building and must have noticed that it had long since been repaired, so my presence here was unnecessary.
She was just about to peek around the corner of the building where Seraphina and Peter were when I quickly stepped into her line of sight, "n-nothing! Just taking a quick break... that's all."
She continued to look at me for a moment, but luckily she stopped prying and waved me after her. "We need your help with fixing some walls", she explained quickly and I followed her while my thoughts wandered back to Seraphina and Peter.
"Can I ask you something?", I asked a little uncertainly and Mantis turned to me with a smile, "sure just ask away!" We reached the road again and now strolled side by side while Mantis showed me the way.
"If you like someone... how do you get others to know?" I tried to formulate my question and then looked at Mantis, who seemed to be thinking about my question.
"Well for starters there are things that only couples do, like holding hands and kissing and stuff. Should be pretty clear by those actions I guess", she said thoughtfully and I started to fidget with my hands behind my back.
"What if the other person doesn't get that you like them?", I asked trying to hide my nervousness. "Well tell her of course! She won't know how you feel until you tell her Adam", Mantis laughed and I tilted my head slightly thoughtfully in her direction, "but you did say that those actions speak for themself..."
"Yeah but in order the be a couple both parties have to like each other and tell the other one how they feel", Mantis said quickly and I took in her words, "some people just like you as friends and don't want to be lovers." Her words stopped me almost abruptly.
Could it be that Seraphina only saw me as a friend?
An uncomfortable feeling spread through me. "You okay Adam?", Rocket suddenly asked who had appeared next to me and I immediately nodded without looking at him, "well then. This way golden boy, we got a lot to do." I quickly followed Rocket to one of the almost completely destroyed buildings and helped him with the walls.
x
After several hours we were finally done with most of the repairs and I was told we wouldn't continue until tomorrow. During all the work I had decided to somehow explain to Seraphina how I felt about her and hoped that she liked me as well. But when I was finally on my way to her, I wasn't so sure anymore on how to do it at all.
Only when I heard her soft laugh did I know that I had arrived at her and that my legs had led me to her as if by magic.
Of course, Peter was still with her and I clenched my jaw tightly as I watched the two of them. He had his arm around her waist and seemed to be telling her something. Seraphina also made no move to remove his arm from her hip and I felt insecure again.
Maybe I should just leave her alone with Peter. It doesn't look like they're looking for my presence.
"Oh and here he is! Golden boy is about to take you to your ship", Peter suddenly said when he had probably noticed me and I frowned at his remark. "Stop it Pete don't be mean," Seraphina said with a barely noticeable smirk on her lips and rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms and Peter just laughed as he said goodbye to us, "have a good night."
She glanced after Peter and then turned her attention to me, "you ready to go?" I looked uncertainly from Peter's ever-shrinking figure to her delicate one, and despite the butterflies in my stomach, I found my voice again.
"Do you like being touched by him?", I asked a little tensely and waited for her answer.
"What?"
"Do you like...", but she interrupted me in the middle of the sentence, "I know what you asked Adam. What do you mean by that?"
Unsteadily, I shifted my weight from one leg to the other and then still plucked up my courage, "I don't like him touching you like this."
"Why is that?", she asked me after a short pause and I had to swallow hard.
"I want to be the only one touching you like this. I want to be the only one holding your hand when walking and I want to be the only one to lay my arm around you", I started listing until finally I just said, "I really like you a-and would like you to be mine."
Stiff as a board, I looked into her eyes while the butterflies in my stomach danced wildly. Her mouth was slightly open and she seemed to be surprised, which in turn made me doubt.
Didn't I show her clearly enough that I liked her?
"A-adam..." she managed to choke out and my heart immediately felt like someone had ripped it out of my chest.
So she only saw me as a friend...
"I-im sorry... I should go... Rocket might need me... umm with walls and stuff", I tried to escape from the uncomfortable situation and turned around quickly. I hadn't gone two steps far when I felt her warm hand close around mine and she tried to pull me back, "wait Adam you didn't even hear me out." I hesitantly turned to her and my golden eyes darted from her soft hand to her blue eyes that regarded me softly.
"I'd like to be yours", she finally said smiling, giving my hand a gentle squeeze to reassure me that she meant it.
"You... really? You like me too?", I asked again to make sure that she understood my request.
"Yes, I like you too Adam", she assured me confidently and a happy smile was now on my lips as well.
"Come on my ship's this way", she said and immediately pulled me behind her. The butterflies returned to my stomach only this time they caused a warm and comforting feeling that I instantly began to like.
"So there'll be a 'no touching' rule for Pete huh?", she asked smiling in my direction and I unconsciously squeezed her hand a little more. I pulled her closer so that her shoulder was almost pressed against me, "it would be nice if he could stop himself from doing so."
"You're so cute Adam", Seraphina just laughed and then nodded to me reassuringly, "I'll tell him don't worry." We were already standing in front of her ship in which she lived for the time being and her hand slipped out of mine. She stepped onto the ramp to her ship and then turned to me.
Both hands placed gently on my cheeks and she pulled me down to place my lips on her soft ones. I immediately melted into the tender gesture and wished this moment would never end. Slowly we parted again and I looked at her a little out of breath because I hadn't expected this gesture of affection.
"I hope you have a good night Adam", Seraphina bid her goodbye to me while I was still standing in front of her, as stiff as a board.
"I uhh... yes I wish you also a good night", I said quickly after catching myself, which elicited a laugh from her.

don't you think this whole thing is takem out of context ? I was so happy when I saw the moment but it seems like it's nothing when watching the whole thing's translation. JK didn't even knew Jimin's group chat name, because he THOUGHT it was Yoongi who told him not to drink on live but turned out it was JM. Jimin himself admitted it, that it was HIM who told JK not to drink on live. Why would he not know his supposed bf's name in their group Chat ? And why would suga says not to do drunk vlive when he is doing a drinking show? It's usually Jimin who says not to do drunk vlives. And the way he told 'bam 😭😭😭😭' like it's been ages since he saw them. Someone told it looks like JK also didn't saw JM for ages now from the way he wished him good health.
Also his face lit up when he saw an artist's comment which is highlighted. It was after he scrolled down he found it was Jimin and he greeted him. I dont think this moment is anything special other than JM suddenly being intrested in him and spamming non stop after yesterday shitstorm tkk brought to Jimin's part of the Fandom.
Sigh.
Tumblr media
Jimin: aww cute puppy 😭😭
like anyone who sees a dog acting cute/existing. Even with our own dogs. He literally just said Bam and crying emojis.
This translates to him not seeing Bam in a long time, how? And define long time? Because you send me a photo of my dog and/or my kids or even my husband after I've been away from them for half a day and I'm like "wahhhh I love you guys. So cute."
Also Jimin: lmao don't do a live if you are drinking!!
This translates to him being the one who messaged the GC about JK doing drinking lives? When it's been a company "rule" about no drinking on vlive since forever even if they all break it sometimes? Again, how? JK didn't recongize/remember the nickname on the GC right away and thinks it's probably Yoongi hyung. Just because Jimin later popped up, saw him drinking and jokingly scolded him the same way doesn't necessarily mean it was him doing the group chat scolding.
Tumblr media
You exposed yourself for being on the anti side of Twitter with your ending comments of how he "wished him good health" like he hasn't seen him in forever. Jikook literally flirt (and you can take this word in a romantic or platonic way, whichever floats your boat, it works both ways) with each other by speaking overly formally. Did you miss all the drops in honorifics and casual conversation that happened in between all that? JK telling Jimin to stay in good health is the equivalent of me telling my partner to be safe and vice versa when we go out places.
JK was happy to see a member comment and was happy to see it was Jimin and then spent the whole live asking and wanting Jimin to still be there. Leave him the fuck alone and let him (and us) be happy over his happiness.
Jimin didn't admit shit to anything you are claiming. Stop twisting his words. Grow up and read real translations. Or if you DID read real translations. Work on your reading comprehension skills. I have some websites we use to practice with my kids at home I can recommend if you want.
Won't be answering bullshit like this again. You got me once with my general desire to debate and correct idiocy! *shakes fist* you won't get me again!

2 New Years Resolutions // Fairn
Finn didn't really know what to do with himself sometimes with how quiet the Greek court could get. Might as well go for a classic New Years resolutions and hit the gym. He couldn't do it as Rose though. He had to run the risk to go to the gym in basket ball shorts and a muscle top to be comfortable. He could do this, he could even cover himself if worse came to worse. He think about who was even left he really had to keep convinced.
Rosanna probably would never challenge Rose even if she read Jude's file front to back. Suzy was of not of interest, and the rest of alpha were old friends. Schlatt and Max were like two sides of the same coin, both knowing but both unbelievable if they tried to tell anyone else. Wilbur was blissfully indifferent, all other thetas were not of interest, most of them old dog. Same with almost all of Gamma, even the ones who knew like Matt and Ryan were not viable men of interests.
"Finn!" the shout snapped his brain out of it less like a trace and more like a rubber band, losing his focus on not just his thought spiral but the excirsize he had been doing. "Rest is over princess, let's go!" Arin taunts him, hitting him on the side of his arm with the target pads on his hands before holding them back up in front of him. "Jab!"
This is one of the reasons Finn had agreed to do this with Arin regularly. It demands his attention. Working out was a good way to do that, but especially with someone on his case if he lost focus. Arin was understanding about everything. Everything. He had been an ear to all the woes and in return, Finn let Arin teach him boxing. It worked great the first few times, but today whenever a rest happened Finn's brain took it as an opportunity to take stock of his situation.
Ethan. Ethan was the only one left who was truly being deceived, and prehaps the least deserving of it. Schlatt and Wilbur both know where they stood with him and still stuck around. Maybe Ethan would too... but he didn't want that with Ethan....
"Do you need to call it for today?" Arin asks before bitting the strap around his head and shaking the pad off his hand before getting the other normally. "You're head really isn't in it, I don't want you to get hurt."
"No! No please I just need- need like one thing to get me in the zone and I'll be good." He huffs and holds up his fists, shadow boxing at Arin. "Com'on then! Be a good coach!" Finn is playful with him, looking the other in the chest like they were eye to eye as he boxed since Arin had some height on him. Arin crosses his arms and looks down at Finn with pursed lips, thinking. "Wot?"
"Theres one thing... that always gets my attention when I'm out of during training... but it usually happen during sparing." He hums the a final realization hits him then shakes his head. "Nah, I cant do that to you."
"No cone on! What is it? At least tell me."
"If I tell you I don't think it work the same."
"Then just do it."
"If you lose focus again." He agreed with the idea that some looming threat would keep Finn in focus. Finn may have considered at some point that it was a threat, but he was so curious he forgot to be scared. Maybe that was why when Finn lost his place in combination because he was thinking about his last date with Ethan, Arin smacked him across the face.
"Fuck!" The sound followed by Finn's yelp ricochet through the gym and a silece fills the air. The sting slowly set in and Finn's heart raced. As he looked back to Arin, his breathing is faster, wrapped hand over the spot the other man struck. "Holy shit..." He huffed out.
"I told you! Geez and biscuits fuck! I didn't want to punch you like you'd get in sparing, I thought that wouldn't be as bad!"
"I think a punch would have been much worse." Finn says though a few more pants, feeling the initial fear subside and settling back into his body. He had imagined a guy here would hit him one day, but it was the worst case scenario whenever he played it out. Now here Arin was, just after smacking him, groveling, trying to look small, and Finn couldn't bother to even but annoyed. "That was good."
"What?!"
"No yeah, you should definitely do that when I slip up. It will-" his throat is rather dry feeling suddenly and he tries to swallow to alleviate it "It will keep me in the moment and my head clear and- and- and I'm so hard riggt now." He blurts out, hands quickly going over his mouth and looking up in horror.
"Uh... scuse me?" Arin blinked at him a fee times and his eyes scan the room quickly.
"Sorry! Sorry!" Finn turns and tries to find his things to running out of there but his head was so scrambled he couldn’t even see it when he looked around the room. "I'll leave I just- if I had my bag I-"
"Get it together, princess!" Arin barks at him, successfully pulling his attention back. Arin gives a much lighter and playful smack to the same cheek. Finn turns his head with it and let's out a whimper. "I didn't know you were cool like that." He chuckles, even as Finn looks at him with stary eyes. "You okay? Too far?"
"You wanna make out in the locker room?"
"The locker room?"
"You want to do it here?" Finn asks biting his lip and looking the other man over. Arin face gets rosey and he has to take a steadying breath.
"Hit the showers! Great job out there today!" he rushes out, throwing a giggling Finn over his shoulder and striking him on the ass as he rushed hulled him to on of the changing rooms.

Evermore (pt 2)
Aether hauled himself into the cart, gripping the reins of his horse tightly. He smiles brightly at his sister as she strokes the mare.
"Now what would you want me to bring you this time?" he's absolutely sure that he knows the answer.
"The same as the year before" she answers simply.
"And the year before that- and all the years before then too."
Paimon the horse neighs as if she understands, making the siblings giggle.
"I really dont want much... Just knowing that you got there safe is enough for me" she pats the mare's head, "You better head off, you don't want to be late right?"
He sighs and moves to spur the cart onwards but remembers something.
"Stay safe, lock the doors at night, oh and don't forget to feed the animals, and don't let anyone in that you don't know or like, and-"
"And remember to put out the fire at least six hours before cleaning out the ashes- yes I remember Aether, I can do these things on my own"
"I know you can. But I'm your big brother; worrying's what I do best," he shouts back to her as the cart begins to move across the gravel.
"Take care!"

The sun had set seemingly out of nowhere for Aether. He found himself feeling as though they were going in circles. Every turn looked the same and even though he had ridden the path countless times it looked unrecognisable in the dark. He could just barely make out the outlines of the trees and even then he was not sure if he was going the right way.
A flash of lightning illuminates the path briefly and to Aether's dismay, he finds himself at a completely unknown fork in the road. Paimon seems spooked by the lightning but he pushes the horse onwards down the left turning, hoping to find some semblance of humanity. The horse does not seem thrilled but still Aether herds her forwards.
It is eerily silent in the forest, and all too dark for his or the horse's liking. Each snapping branch under-hoof seemed to make the mare jump in surprise and eventually, Aether grew accustomed to them.
Save for the crunch that came from behind the cart. He found his head whipping around to find the source of the noise. In the darkness, he sees three sets of yellow eyes. They watch him, low to the ground. Though he can't see the bodies to which the eyes belong, he knew what they were. With a sharp shake of the reins, the horse speeds down the trail. He hears the wolves howl behind and it spurs them on, Paimon galloping through the darkness like a bolt of white lightning.
That is until there was no way to go but back the way they came. An embankment was pressed against the horse's hind legs while the encroaching dogs stalked the front.  In a moment of panic, the horse rears and makes a swift turn back the way it came. Aether feels his grip on the reins slip before he slides out of the cart, falling onto the ground and tumbling down the other side of the embankment.
The dogs follow the larger target and he is left rolling down the steep hill. When he finally stops rolling, his head is still spinning but he sees an enormous, iron gate beside his head. It was overgrown and its stone walls seemed more roots than stone now. He clambers onto his knees and uses the bars to pull himself up, despite the pain he feels in his shoulder.
The gate creeks under his weight, swinging open unceremoniously. It's only then that he notices how cold he is. His face feels like ice on a midwinter night. He treads through the gateway and, faintly within the dark skyline, he can make out a huge castle. With newfound vigour, he trudges through the snow towards the courtyard.
When he gets to the double doors at the front of the building, he knocks loudly. However, the doors are displaced by the force of his fist, slowly parting to give him entry. Aether is sure he should not enter but the burning of his nose and the feral wind outside leaves him no choice but to hide away from the cold.  
He takes a good look around to fully gather his surroundings. Surely he would have noticed if this place was close by after so long. Just how far away had he wondered? He makes a note to ask the master of the house where they were once he found them.
The interior is grand: with marble flooring and golden accents on the doorway arches, deep blue carpet rolling down the hall through them. It is still dark but a trail of brass candelabras light the hallway just enough for him to see the colours of the home.
Aether is startled nearly out of his skin when he hears whispering voices. He snatches one of the candleholders up and waves it in front of him to illuminate the room a little better as he walks.
"Who- Who's there?" he shivers from the cold but mostly from the uncomfortable feeling he gets from the castle. He feels vaguely like he used to when he had done something as a child that he knew his parents would find out about.
"Hellooooo" a voice echoes through the hall again. He looks about the room in a skittish motion but still sees no one.
"Down here" the voice is giggling. Slowly he looks down, bracing himself for whatever he may find.
The candle holder looks up at him with a grin, flames burning in a new pattern.
"BOOOO" it shrieks.
Aether yelps and lets the thing drop to the floor. It clatters not without an exclamation of hurt from the magical candle. He hurriedly picks it back up and holds it close to his face.
"Now how do you work? Are you- are you robotic?" he questions more to himself.
"NO! Don't be silly. I'm Hu Tao, head of the servant quarters." The little candle explains as though it is only logical.
Another voice calls out, much lower and calmer.
"Perhaps you would be kind enough to place our friend back on the table where she belongs," it asks him very nicely.
He looks in the direction he believes the voice comes from. There is nothing but a large ornate clock on the table.
"Let me guess, you're the clock!" he chuckles at his joke.
"Yes that's right- though I do prefer to be called Zhongli" it huffs slightly and moves closer. Aether steps back, shocked, uncomprehending where he is.
The candelabra feels how cold he is with his tight grip on her, "Oh, sir, you're so cold! Methinks you should perhaps warm yourself by the fire," she tells him.
Aether shakes himself out of his stupor and nods. The lighting fixture hops out of his hold and hops, "Follow me, we'll get you toasty before you can say'hillychurl'." He doesn't know what a hillychurl is but he lets it be; the thing seemed to be uninspired by basic laws of logic anyway.
The clock seems hesitant. "Hu Tao, maybe we should act with more thought. What would Xiao say if he found someone in the castle?" he whispers to the candle.
"What the master knows won't kill him. Plus it's not as if it's some knight on a crusade. It's a lost traveller, and he'll be back on his way by morning- Xiao won't ever know he was here!"
Aether feels lighter after finding something to talk to, the castle seemed less daunting and even a little lighter (though that may be because of the candles lit atop Hu Tao's head).
He is led through the hallways into a large, well-lit room. There is a soft yellow glow from the fire that radiates throughout the whole area and it reminds him of the living space he shares with (Y/N) at home. This one is much grander and of course, is missing its most important component.
"Please do make yourself at home, sir! I'll send for some tea if you'd like. Are you hungry? Do you need a change of clothes? Are you-"
Zhongli shaps a clock hand over Hu Tao's mouth but she still talks into it as if it were not there. "My friend and I must have a private conversation very momentarily."
The two waddle and hop out of the room, and he's left in a comfy Wingback chair, staring into the fire.
He isn't sure exactly how long he is left there by himself. However, it certainly isn't very long before a wheeled cart creaks into view. It has two tiers. The top contained a cute yellow and red tea set while the bottom held its tiered plate of biscuits. He doesn't quite know how but the cart sidles right up beside him.
He sighs in awe at the whole idea of a place as absurd as this one. He moves to poke the teapot with his index finger.
"Oh I wouldn't do that, it's very hot and you might burn yourself!" the teapot jumps to life and scoots away to keep his fingers safe. He pulls back and yelps again.
"You talk too?" he squeals in confusion.
"Oooh oooh! I can talk too!" the small teacup jumps up from the saucer excitedly. "Look! Klee can talk too!"  Aether laughs a little at the absurdity of it. Never before had he seen anything close to this in his life.
"Hello, little one" he gently picks up the teacup to get a better look at it.  The teapot giggles a little before she begins to speak again, and Aether places what he assumes is her child back on the cart.
"Now, is it one spoon or two?" she pours tea from herself into a cup on a saucer and nudges it towards him. He takes it gladly, enjoying the warmth against his icy fingers.
"Thank you, miss. I lost my way during the night and ended up here; I'm sorry to cause any inconvenience." he pauses, thinking. "Could you possibly tell me where in Teyvat I am?"
"Oh now don't you worry about convenience, boy, it's fine with us- it's been so long since we've had visitors. We'll get you settled, and then you'll be back on your way." she doesn't get a chance to tell him their whereabouts.
A great roar echoes through the castle making doors slam shut. Aether hopes that it was wind but a sickening feeling in his stomach told him otherwise. The candles are put out from the gust and the fire flickers into embers. Suddenly the room is just as cold as the snow outside. The teapot shakes and the tea cup hides behind her. Aether too finds himself shaking in his boots.
The wood creaks as the door once again slams open. Through the darkness, he can make out the figure of a huge, monstrous bird. It steps its clawed foot through the door and looks right at him, bright gold eyes glinting fiercely in anger.
"You are trespassing." the bird speaks sternly, "First you enter my grounds without permission and then you enter my home and now you badger my staff at your whim." the bird's voice stays lever but Aether feels that with each word it is becoming increasingly hostile.
Aether shrunk back in the seat, eyes watering at the creature that towered over him in the dark.
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't know-"
"YOU DID NOT KNOW THAT TRESPASSING WAS A CRIME" the beast growls loudly. Aether swears he could see a gust of wind flood out of its beak.
It lunges towards him and pulls him from the chair by the back of his shirt, pulling him away with a force he had never encountered before. Aether lets out a yelp of surprise and thrashes in the creature's beak.
"Alatus- no please, calm down!" the clock attempts to reason with the furious animal but, still, it heaves the boy through the halls towards the stairwell. In a flurry of movements, they are ascending the steps and Aether is thrown against the stone wall of a cold cell- infinitely darker and colder than he had felt outside.

Next chapter is obviously when things get ‘Xiaoy’ if you will. This is a slow burn right now but it’ll speed up a little bit later.

1RKO/Hatsu KO Gachi (First KO Win)- Sheena Ringo & NOCCHi lyrics and translation

Finally! The collab that has had us screaming since its release. There's so much to say about it. Fans have long been wondering (and wishing) that Perfume's members would branch out and do other things. Because as much as we love Yasutaka Nakata's work as their producer, the truth is that he keeps them pretty limited during recording sessions to make it easier to tweak vocals for the electro/techno genre they're known for. They're each incredibly talented singers but they hardly get to actually show it as Perfume. Nocchi in particular seems to get her solo parts in songs cut more than anyone, which is a shame. So for this collab, Sheena Ringo wanted her to let loose for once. Get angry, shout, punch, jab. It's the perfect song and video to showcase all that pent up energy she must be holding on to after 20 years. And she really did KO us with it, because damn. It's so wild to hear and see this edgier side of her and I love it. Congrats to Nocchi on an amazing job! Now please, I wanna see Kashiyuka do a haunting mermaid music video (LOVE her snorkeling posts on IG) and maybe A~chan can do a heartbreaking love ballad.

My mind and body are untapped in every aspect Brain and spine all brand-new and unopened Not even a single blow taken Even the cheapest shot swiftly blocked Ever since I was born, no matter how much I ate and ate, it was always delicious Three cups of rice wolfed down in one sitting Thanks to double the metabolism “I wanna get stronger, I wanna get faster” Such desires closely guarded Starting today, can I shed it all, strip myself bare, and feel a little proud? Mentally and physically, I’ve got no worries Brain specs all praised yet unglorified Not even a single blow of hot air spoken, nothing spoiled Not even a single flame war lost Comfort is warmer than boredom What a waste I’ve got no choice but to admit Whenever, wherever, I’ve been in a deep sleep Suspended in parasympathetic nervous system dominance I charged up 100 Percent Life “I wanna get thicker, I wanna get heavier” Give me the impact that works on anyone Just once, let me strike I wanna feel alive Fight! If the enemy gets wise to it Oh well, I’ll let loose Hitting the hidden shoulder with my right fist A goofy stance on the left (One) Jab! (Two) Jab! (Three) Jab! (Four) Straight? Right I’ll refrain from making excuses ‘Cause I only need one title in this life In this state, am I an energy conservation expert at best? No! No matter how many times I stand at the scene I realize I wanna be beaten to a pulp to the point where I’m dog-tired Ah, a critical hit! Such a precious opportunity Whether I stab or get stabbed it’s all the same if my longing is satisfied I wanna see you give it your all! I’ve still gotta set myself free and feel how my life force trembles with pleasure I wanna indulge more Whatever happens, I’m good Right now, I just wanna shake loose It’s proof that I’m alive Without being fooled I’m dancin’ My heart’s electrified My first KO win 🥊💥💪🥊💥💪
