#Teddy Hawke

[musicfeedsmysoul12]

“Just a bunch of boneless women flopping around,” she laughs, head thrown back as Emeric snarls, scolding her. Oh please, they’re dead. What’s the big deal?

It’s three years later and some change, when Bernadette Hawke is dropping to her knees, holding a body stitched together from different parts and staring at the dimming light that she knows what the big deal is.

-

Teddy, as she insists people call her, has never been a serious child. Her life was much to serious already, and her dreams were scary. Laughing and playing were much more fun than being serious.

Her mother, when Teddy was a child, appreciated it. But as the girl grew and her antics never dimmed, despaired.

“Oh who is this child?” Leandra would sigh. “Please be serious dear!”

“Oh what is there to be serious about?” Giggled Teddy each time.

Malcom found it funny though at times he would sit Teddy down to remind her that jokes weren’t always funny. She hadn’t understood it. Not really.

She wouldn’t for a long time.

-

Carver once told Teddy he wished her younger would fall out. He’d glared at his sister, face and neck red from the teasing Teddy gave him when she caught the boy sniffing Peaches.

“I can just heal it back on!” Teddy stuck said tongue out before running off with a laugh. She told no one about beating Peaches to an inch of her life when she caught the girl running around in Carver before healing her up, teeth bared and a hissed promise to make it worse next time.

Bethany cried and said Teddy should stop. She’d been so upset about Teddy making jokes about what the boys did behind woodsheds.

“Why?” Teddy asked. She didn’t tell anyone about how she had to make a boy seem like he’d fallen off the shed when he tried to drag her behind it.

“Bernadette!” Leandra shouted when Teddy made crass jokes about the Sisters in Lothering.

“Yes mother dear?” Teddy asked, not telling anyone she caught the sisters making the same jokes.

“Teddy, I’m sorry. Keep smiling,” Malcom told her when he had been forced to rip a demon out of his daughter and died fighting it.

She didn’t let the smile drop.

-

Varric understood a good joke. He was cracking them with Teddy within days of meeting. Isabela was up for a sex joke or a flirt. Merrill was adorably confused, Aveline sighed, Anders snorted, Sebastian acted scandalized even as his eyes twinkled and Fenris was… interesting.

He’d giggle under his breath or mutter a similar joke or he would roll his eyes and…

She didn’t know. Teddy liked it though. Shared all the best jokes with him.

-

“Why couldn’t you be normal. Like Carver?” Despaired Gamlen and the joke danced on her tongue only to be swallowed back.

She didn’t know.

-

Jokes were calming. Jokes were funny! Jokes…

Jokes were supposed to make her smile.

-

Merrill isn’t talking to her. The memory of refusing to give the tool to her, the memory of a Demon screaming in her skull… it burned. Though the elf girl was kind enough to bring food and take Bear out for a walk, the dog happy to finally move after days of being locked up, Teddy to drink to pay attention.

Fenris came by, carrying wine. They drank together.

She didn’t utter a single joke.

-

Feynril was Tranquil.

Fuck.

The joke was in her mouth, it was biting her tongue. It was screaming in her head.

She swallowed.

She fucked up.

Teddy slumped, sliding down to sit on the street as the screams of the woman she failed echoed out the house.

No one said anything to her.

What was she doing?

-

Mouth against mouth, skin against skin- lyirum burning in the air.

It’s a wild night. It’s a beautiful night.

It ends with him leaving and Teddy alone again. She clutches her hands to her chest and sobs.

-

It’s a mistake.

No it’s not.

It is and isn’t. She likes Anders. He’s kind, he’s sweet. His mouth is so soft and Teddy is…

Teddy aches from lyrium touches and wants soft ones.

-

She tells a joke while running through the Deep Roads. Anders throws his head back and laughs even as Justice rattles in his head.

Carver is sighing as Varric snickers. Isabela cackles and smiles and…

The jokes spill from her lips, with twinkling eyes and hysterical laughter that has her with her head between her knees soon enough.

-

She loves Anders. Fell in love with time and care.

She loves him and forgets about the lyrium touches. These touches are better.

“Teddy,” Anders says and it feels like she flies.

-

“I trust you.” Teddy says to Isabela.

It’s not enough. Teddy is not enough and she battles a man who looks down his nose at her with a sneer. Who calls her Bas and dangerous.

Teddy who watched her brother leave, not staying back to help. Leaving her to handle this on her own, who had a friend run off and not come back…

Doesn’t quite fucking care about the man.

The jokes fall and she closes her eyes as a title is granted.

-

No one talks about Isabela.

-

Teddy jokes again and again. She laughs more and more. Time heals, mostly.

She holds Anders hand and smiles.

-

Merrill smashes the mirror.

Teddy makes no jokes.

Blood Magic has been their argument for years. Teddy can’t stand it, the Demon never far from her mind. And then… and then…

“Mother!”

She feels for the girl, takes her into her arms and hugs.

But she’s glad it’s broken.

-

She works with Meredith even as her skin crawls. She gets dragged to help the Qunari and she vomits, feeling disgusted. (Bas, a head thrown at her feet, a sneer.)

Anders asks her to trust him and she does.

-

Fenris sister dies and Teddy sits with him, listening.

He’s broken. He’s tired. He’s not okay.

“You are the finest mage I know,” he says and his eyes…

She looks away as lyrium fills her mind.

That is in the past.

-

She drops her staff as the Chantry explodes. She stares up at the sky as Anders speaks. She looks at him, mouth dropping open.

“Why?”

“It is Justice.”

-

Teddy doesn’t joke much anymore.

okay, enough of you wearing your boyfriend’s shirts, what about him wearing your shirts;

if it’s an oversized shirt that you might wear as a dress or just wear with sweatpants and jeans — trust that he is wearing that too; casually snatching it out of your wardrobe and throwing it on like it’s no big deal. but it is a big deal because you like how it looks on him.

and if it’s a tighter shirt, maybe even a crop or smth, and he decides to just don it around your home you’re flabbergasted, pouting at him until he notices and asks “what?” through a mouthful of food. “how does it look better on you.” you deadpan, pinching his side where the shirt has ridden up, to which he hisses and throws you a bewildered look.

acting so confused about it too, because he personally thinks that you look heavenly in anything of his you wear. little does he know that you leave so abruptly to hide your flustered face and distract yourself from inappropriate images that flash in your mind.

Hi can i request hawks x reader 📣🔥💋 (im not sure if you write for bnha hawks if not then its fine)

Prompts 📣🔥💋

“Gosh, you smell so good when we cuddle like this!”

“You think I’m jealous? Believe me, you haven’t seen me jealous yet.”

“I desire any physical touch with you so please hit me more.”

⚠️WARNING⚠️ will contain dark themes

A / N = Sorry for any grammar mistakes, I did not proofread this. Please read my bio before requesting, and make sure that my requests are open or else your request will be deleted. Enjoy <3

«★»———- Yandere Prompt List

«★»———- MHA Hero’s Masterlist

* .:｡✧*ﾟ ﾟ･ ✧.｡. * * .:｡✧*ﾟ ﾟ･ ✧.｡. * . *.:｡✧ *ﾟ ﾟ･ ✧.｡. *.

★ You had just arrived home from a night out in the city with Hawks. In fact , this was the “ first time “ that you had been out in public since Hawks had kidnapped you. Hawks made sure to take you to a LOWKEY bar a couple of cities away from where he originally took you . That way you would have a less chance of being identified , and taken from Hawks

★ You angrily sat the bouquet of flowers that Hawks gave you on the counter. Honestly , Hawks didn’t know why you were so mad at him. The only thing that he did was “ protect “ you against the creepy people at the bar. Yeah sure , he might if broke a couple of jaws , but it wasn’t that big of a deal. Hawks didn’t know why you were acting so dramatic over such a small thing that he did in your honor. ( technically )

★ Suddenly , Hawks snapped out of his deep thoughts when he noticed that you were glaring at him from the other side of the counter. “ What is bothering you my little feather ?” Hawks asked in the nonchalant voice that he always seemed to have. “ I can’t believe you acted like that IN PUBLIC “ , you said with a sharp tone to your voice. “ Maybe if you weren’t so jealous , I would actually enjoy being with you “ you added to your statement. You knew that this would set Hawks off , but you didn’t seem to care one bit.

★ Hawks sighed as he tried to explain why he broke that man’s jaw. Just as he was in the middle of explaining why his actions were justifiable, you interrupted by saying = “ There is no reason for you to act like this you jealous freak “. Before you could even finish your sentence, Hawks walked very close to you , before finally saying “You think I’m jealous? Believe me, you haven’t seen me jealous yet.”

★ Hawks stared at you for a moment longer , before finally saying “ I am going to go finish off that person from the bar “. No matter how hard you tried to pull him back , or change his mind , you found that it was like talking to a wall. That being said , Hawks flew over to the bar , and luckily the person who was hitting on you was still there. Let’s just say they had a funeral planned the next weekend….

★ When Hawks returned home , you could tell what he had done by just looking at him. You immediately started crying when Hawks started to make his way towards you. Once he was in front of you , he slowly picked you up , and took you to the couch where he attempted to snuggle into your arms. You tried to push him off of you by insulting him , but you found that it was no use. Every single time you hit him , he would always respond with the same thing = “I desire any physical touch with you so please hit me more.”

★ Eventually you gave up on trying to fight him. You had also just come to the realization that Hawks would probably never let you leave the house again. The last thing you heard before you fell asleep was Hawks softly whispering “Gosh, you smell so good when we cuddle like this!” You knew that you were stuck with him whether you liked it or not .

★ Maybe you should’ve flirted , and danced with the other person at the bar …? Like that would make any difference to a delusional Hawks..

I haven’t actually gotten to the seraphim yet but I’m already desperate for a fic where the Strawhats rescue (kidnap, steal, same thing) them and give the kids a chance to actually be kids, which results in Mihawk rolling up one day to see Roronoa Zoro walking around with a little baby…. Him. Just kinda propped on his hip.

And Mihawk is like “Who and also how and also why.”

And Zoro’s like “Yeah the little man has separation anxiety, he’s had a rough time.”

And Mihawk is like “That was. Very not an answer to any of my questions.”

“The other kids went with the rest of the crew to explore the town but Eyas and Little Bear don’t like crowds.”

“… You call him Eyas? Who is Little Bear?”

And S-Bear just pokes his big ass head out of the pillow fort the kids built against the railing like “Hi.”

To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him

Just to see him smile, makes my life worthwhile

To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him

And I do (and I do, and I, and I do, and I, and I do, and I, and I do, and I)

I'd be good to him, I'd bring love to him

Everyone says there'll come a day when I'll walk alongside of him

Yes, just to know him is to love, love, love him

And I do (and I do, and I, and I do, and I, and I do, and I, and I do, and I)

Why can't he see how blind can he be?

Someday he will see that he was meant for me, oh oh, yes

"Wait, is this a Star Shrek movie?"

[funsize-cenobites]

It was only a matter of time before I finally broke down and made an AU version of S-Hawk thats basically just an OC to project onto.

This was always going to happen. All the characters I relate to the most in anything and everything are inhuman (usually mechanical or biologically engineered) 'things' made in man's image but are only meant to be tools only for them to eventually struggle and yearn to be More.

Toss in the identity issues of being made not just in the image of man but in the image of a specific and very prominent, daunting, legend of a man and oooooo baby I am all over it.

Moon 382

Season: Leaf-bare

Overarching Events

Not enough medicine cats I turned off unknown second parent temporarily cause I cannot handle how many cats are in this Clan right now. I stopped reading the relationships and am praying for a mass extinction The hostile environment between PikaClan and SplinterClan has been continuing to grow

Deaths

Rumors reach your Clan that the exiled Limethorn has died recently.

Teddieflip died of greencough

Willow died of carrionplace disease

Other Clans

The war with SplinterClan is beginning to disrupt the daily lives of PikaClan, forcing them to adapt to new routines and living situations in order to better defend themselves While patrolling the borders, Fadedflake falls in a concealed pit trap along with Silkmimic and Caribouthunder

Health

Fadedflake's running nose stopped Quickrapid's greencough is now cured Lemon Boy recovered from birthing There is no longer water in Pitchpaw's lungs

Patrols

Chestnutpaw is dragging behind the patrol when they suddenly hear a tumble of rocks and become trapped. Even though Chestnutpaw made it out, they swear someone pushed them, and blame Andrew. Andrew denies it and says they should get Chestnutpaw back to camp to get their injury looked at.

Chestnutpaw got: broken back

The patrol reaches a river that must be crossed to ensure the borders are thoroughly checked (proceed) After some consideration the patrol finds a place to cross. They reach about halways as a strong rush of water crashes over them. The water mercilessly crashes them against the river's sharp boulders and violently sends them careening over a small waterfall. Thankfully, at the bottom the water is calmer and they wash up on the riverbed, but not without consequence from trying to fight one of nature's strongest forces.

Bluebellknoll got: running nose Shalenubble got: water in lungs Wolfback got: broken bone Shiveringivy got: sprain Frogcry got: broken jaw Shrewdusk got: water in lungs

The patrol comes across a small dog. The dog gets a lucky hit on Saturn, though together the patrol drives it off

Saturn got: torn pelt

Starlingholly finds an abandoned kit whose parents are nowhere to be found. She rushes them back to camp and they are nursed back to health and promised a place in the Clan

Quietkit (male) joins the Clan at 3 moons old. He was adopted by Starlingholly and Roarweb (I had to do this manually but I want it)

The patrol comes across a large dog on the border. The patrol fights bravely, but you only need to be unlucky once. Hawkrain gets taken out of the fight with one snap of the beast's huge jaws. The rest of the patrol rallies to defend them, and Hawkrain is safely helped back to camp, where the medicine den awaits

Hawkrain got: mangled leg

Despite our best efforts, the names on our list are only those who had the privilege of recognition, the fortune of discovery, or the extraordinary courage to leave indelible proof of their true selves for us to mourn. So many unknown and uncounted people remain that even years from now we will learn the names of people in our community who died this year without the recognition they deserved.

Teddy Bear Bucky

Paring: Avenger! Bucky Barnes x Avenger! Fem! Reader (Grumpy x Sunshine)

Summary: For once, the usually tense and stoic soldier is completely at ease, making for an amusing sight when someone finds you asleep on Bucky's chest.

Word Count: Roughly 1.3k

Warnings: Fluff, death threats (playful), roughhousing, chaos, chasing, and brief mentioning of Bucky's past if you squint.

Part 1: Sunshine in His Shadows

P.S. It can be read as a stand-alone, but if you want to know how it led up to this point, part 1 is above :)

Navigation

Divider by: @strangergraphics

The morning sun poured through the compound windows, its warm rays spilling across the living room, casting a soft glow in the room. You were nestled soundly on top of Bucky, curled into him like he was your personal, oversized teddy bear. His head rested against the back of the couch, one arm protectively wrapped around you. For once, he wasn’t tense or scowling; he was completely relaxed, a rare sight for someone so used to being on edge for years.

And if you squinted, there was a faint smile on his face.

Steve walked past the living room but came to an abrupt halt at the sight. His eyes widened, and he rubbed them as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Then, a grin spread across his face. A shit-eating grin at that.

"Oh, this is gold," he whispered to himself, eyes lighting up with the realization of what he had to do. With a quiet chuckle, he darted off, eager to recruit to show others.

A few minutes later, Steve returned, followed by Natasha and Sam. Natasha glanced at the scene, then raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smirk curling at the corners of her mouth. Sam, however, wasn’t wasting any time. He pulled out his phone with a wicked grin, his camera aimed at the precious moment unfolding in front of him.

“This is too good to pass up,” Sam murmured, crouching low to get the perfect angle. “Grumpy Barnes being used as a human pillow? For his sunshine no less? This is legendary.”

Natasha sipped her coffee with a knowing smirk. “He’s totally going to kill you for this, right?”

“Yeah, well,” Sam grinned, swiping through his phone. “I’ll send out the picture before he forces me to delete it. The old man doesn’t understand technology.” His fingers tapped out a message to Wanda, who’d probably get a good laugh out of it.

The sound of a camera shutter clicked softly, but just as Sam thought he was in the clear, Bucky stirred beneath you. His brow furrowed slightly, and for a split second, everything seemed still. Then, the faint creak of a floorboard sent Bucky’s instincts into overdrive. His eyes shot open, scanning the room like a hawk, before landing on the source of his irritation: Sam, his phone raised triumphantly, with Steve and Natasha struggling to hold back laughter in the background.

Before Bucky could fully react, you shifted against him with a groggy groan. You blinked your eyes open, still half-asleep, and found yourself looking up at him in confusion. 

“Bucky? What-?” 

It only took a moment for the embarrassing realization to hit. You had somehow fallen asleep on top of him, completely unaware. Your face flushed as your eyes widened, and you started to apologize, but before you could even say a word, Bucky gently but swiftly lifted you off him, placing you back on the couch. 

He stood, as though trying to shake off any evidence of what had just happened, then grabbed a blanket nearby and tucked it around your shoulders, making sure you were comfortable and warm.

“Stay warm, sunshine,” he muttered under his breath, his voice rough but strangely tender.

Sam, unable to contain himself, burst out laughing. “Oh, man, I’m framing this one. You look like a giant grizzly bear trying to babysit a kitten.”

Bucky’s eyes darkened with a glare so intense, it could’ve burned a hole through Sam. His voice was low and dangerous. “Delete it. Now.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! I didn’t do anything! Steve told me!” Sam raised his hands in mock surrender, but his grin was impossible to hide.

Bucky’s focus shifted to Steve, who was pretending to be innocent. “Hey, don’t blame me! I had to tell someone what I saw. Kill him, not me.”

“See you, sucker!” Sam snickered, bolting for the door, phone clutched in his hand tightly.

“Hey, wait!” Steve scrambled after him, grinning as he caught up with Sam.

Bucky didn’t waste a second. With a growl, he chased after them, his heavy footsteps pounding like thunder in the compound. Steve was laughing as he ran, shouting, “Don’t let him catch me!”

“I’m gonna make you both regret that,” Bucky roared, his voice deep and fierce as he quickened his pace.

Still nestled in the blanket, you rubbed your eyes, trying to shake the sleep from your system. The chaos unfolding in front of you was enough to make you frown sleepily. 

“What...what is happening?” you mumbled, looking up at Natasha, who was still watching the scene unfold, an amused look on her face.

She leaned down to gently smooth your hair, offering you a warm cup of coffee. “Just another day in paradise. You fell asleep on Bucky, and now he’s off hunting down Sam for taking pictures. Steve opened his mouth and pretty much condemned himself. Typical.”

You buried your face in the blanket, your cheeks burning crimson. “I fell asleep on Bucky?”

Natasha smirked knowingly. “Oh, yeah. And he didn’t even complain. He stayed perfectly still for you. It was actually kind of adorable.”

The flush on your face deepened, and you peeked out from the blanket. “I can’t believe this.”

Natasha sipped her coffee, smirking at you one last time. “I’m going to see if Wanda got the picture.” With that, she made her way out of the room, leaving you alone to process the madness.

Meanwhile, down the hall, Sam and Steve were running for their lives. Sam glanced over his shoulder, still laughing, though his breath came in short bursts. “You can’t kill us both, Barnes!”

“Try me,” Bucky growled, a wicked grin playing at the corners of his mouth as he closed in on them.

Steve, managing to duck into a nearby room, slammed the door behind him. Sam, realizing he was alone and defenseless, let out a panicked yell. “Traitor!”

Bucky didn’t hesitate. He grabbed Sam by the back of his shirt with a single motion, yanking him to a stop. “Gotcha, birdbrain.”

“Wait! Wait!” Sam held up his phone, waving it frantically. “I’ll delete it! I swear!”

Bucky snatched the phone from Sam’s hand, eyes narrowed with irritation. He quickly checked the screen, making sure the photo was gone. Satisfied, he shoved the phone back into Sam’s chest with a low growl. “If I see that picture anywhere, you’re dead.”

Sam held up his hands, clearly not wanting to push it any further. “Message received, Sergeant Teddy Bear.” He backed away with a half-grin, hands still raised in surrender.

Bucky shot him one last glare before walking back toward the living room, shaking his head at the chaos. By the time he returned, you had sat up on the couch, still wrapped in the blanket, your face a mix of sleepiness and embarrassment. 

“Did you really stay still all night just so I wouldn’t wake up?” you asked softly, your shy smile tugging at his heart.

Bucky’s expression softened just the slightest. He shrugged, trying to hide the warmth he felt spreading through him. “Didn’t want to ruin your sleep, sunshine.”

A small, genuine smile spread across your face as you stood up and wrapped your arms around him in a tight hug. “Thank you, Bucky.”

He froze for a split second, caught off guard by the sudden affection. Then, slowly, his arms came around you, pulling you into a hug of his own. His voice was gruff as he mumbled, “Yeah, yeah.”

For a moment, everything was still. The harshness that usually clung to him was nowhere to be found, replaced by something softer, warmer, and something he wasn’t ready to fully acknowledge yet.

For now, he’d take all of the teasing, even if it meant chasing down Sam and Steve every day. Because if it meant getting to see that sunshine smile of yours, it was all worth it.

Every single time.

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed!
