I've been thinking about this theory about Riko orchestrating Jean's sexual abuse as punishment for his attraction to Kevin, because Riko is not in the habit of sharing his possessions. And while at first glance it would seem that Riko does this because it's Kevin... looking deeper I get the feeling that his attitude extends to the rest of the Perfect Court too.
Consider Andrew.
Riko sets first Drake and then Proust on Andrew, and the implication is that Andrew cannot get away with "taking Riko's things." This obviously refers to Kevin, but I don't think it refers to Kevin alone. It's significant that Riko brings it up with Neil and Neil only, and it happens during this specific conversation.
Riko uses Andrew to taunt and intimidate Neil, immediately after Neil implies that Riko is not the only thing saving him from his father. We come to understand several things in the course of this conversation:
That Riko considers Andrew to be responsible for Neil's continued refusal to return to his place among the Ravens.
That he believes threatening Andrew's safety will be enough to convince Neil to come to Evermore.
Which means that Riko obviously has an inkling of what Andrew and Neil mean to each other (even if Neil does not yet). He weaponizes this knowledge against both of them, and while Neil ends up going to Evermore, it does not mean that Riko lets Andrew get away.
That's because he never intended to. When Riko refers to Andrew as the miniature one with the disgusting attitude who thinks he can take my things, his "things" refer not merely to Kevin but, to a heavy extent, also to Neil, and he punishes Andrew for his closeness to Neil the same way he punished Jean's closeness to Kevin.
Why am I bringing this up? Well, quite simply put, it's all because of the as-yet unexplained January incident that Jean brings up in The Sunshine Court.
We know that following Neil's departure from the Nest, Zane betrayed Jean by setting Grayson on him. What we don't know is what Riko did to Zane and Grayson afterwards, or why.
Jean brings it up several times, but only refers to it obliquely, and doesn't give us any details:
I don't think Riko cares about what happened to Jean, of course not. But it makes too much sense to me that he decided what Zane and Grayson did was an insult to him, Riko, because how dare they touch his property when he hasn't permitted it? How dare they take his things? How dare Grayson pretend he has some sort of claim to Jean?
I'm throwing this theory out because I have nothing to lose: whatever Riko did to Zane and Grayson was in retaliation to what they did to Jean, but not because Riko cares. He did so only because Jean was another one of Riko's things, and those who take his things away must be reminded of their place.
So, yes, I think all of this is an extension of the fact that Riko has an unhealthy obsession with the people he considers to be his pets or his property. Transgressions against his claim over them deserve to be punished for the insult.
Even if those transgressions are committed by the Perfect Court itself. Riko plays the part of the jealously possessive master, the one they should all devote themselves to, the only one with authority over them. No one else can have them — which means they cannot have each other either.

Crowley's "oh" moment wasn't him realizing that he's in love
Okay so we've all talked about the scene where Nina asks Crowley if Aziraphale is his "bit on the side" or whatever and Crowley has that visable fanfiction "oh" moment on his face afterwards. And I know a lot of people think it must have been Crowley realizing that he was in love with Aziraphale, but that's never sat right with me. Crowley is emotionally repressed and oblivious, sure, but he's been down bad for that angel since the beginning. I just can't believe he didn't know it the whole time. That can't have been what he was reacting to. Hell, just the nervous swallow he does at the beginning of that conversation implies that he knows exactly what Nina is about to ask him, meaning he at least already has that idea in his head.
I think what he was reacting to was Nina's last comment, "other people's love lives always seem so much more straightforward than our own" (I'm quoting from memory but I got the gist of it).
Crowley has been in love for a long time by this point. He's also, for that entire time, understood that nothing can be done about it. Up until Armageddon failed, there was no universe where Crowley and Aziraphale could safely be together, and Crowley cares too much about Aziraphale to truly risk his safety (although he does have his selfish moments--that need to know that Aziraphale cares for him too, that he's not completely alone in this partnership). Nothing could change, so there was no point in doing anything about it.
In the few years post Armageddon, though, it seems like QUITE a bit has changed for the two of them. Remember, these are two immortal beings...a few years is milliseconds to them. But in those milliseconds, it seems like Crowley has become a regular establishment in the bookshop, glasses off and all. Aziraphale felt comfortable enough with him to ask to borrow the Bentley, Crowley's prized possession and his literal home. They've gotten COMFY in a very short amount of time, objectively, and I'm sure it felt like big change to Crowley, who knows better than to ask for things he doesn't think he can have.
But Nina's comment. "Other people's love lives always seem so much more straightforward than our own". A direct parallel to exactly how Crowley has been thinking about her and Maggie this whole time--two people who just need a push (romantic awning, anyone?) and everything else would fall into place. Easy. Uncomplicated.
Crowley's "oh" moment isn't that he's in love with Aziraphale. It's that maybe being in love with Aziraphale doesn't have to be complicated.
Other people's love lives DO seem more straightforward than Crowley's own. But if Nina feels that way about him, as sure as he is about her and Maggie...could it be that easy? Could he have that with his angel? I don't think at this point that Crowley has any doubt about whether or not Aziraphale feels something for him (whatever that something may be in Crowley's mind), but after all...Aziraphale asked him to slow down. So he's been taking it slow. Hanging around more. Leaning into his space. Soaking up every second of Az's smiles like a dying man, content with whatever he's given.
But Nina. She thinks they're together already. No doubt in her mind. She thinks it's so straightforward, that of COURSE they're together, two people who look at each other with that much love in their eyes must be, right? And I think that "oh" is Crowley's realization that maybe it IS straightforward. After all, they're them, right? No more Heaven, no more Hell, no actual reason they couldn't just...be together. In that moment, Crowley isn't realizing that he's in love with Aziraphale. He's known he's in love for a very long time. No, that moment was him realizing that, maybe, he can stop pretending not to be, that maybe all they have to do is stop pretending they aren't everything to each other. Does he need to slow down if there's no danger to avoid?
When Nina and Maggie confront him at the end, encourage him to confess...objectively, I don't think Crowley as a character would agree to anything nearly that vulnerable without a LOT more convincing. But he does agree. And you could argue that it's because of Gabe and Beez, sure, but when has Crowley ever used other angels and demons as reasoning behind his choices? No, consistently, Crowley has followed humans every time. Gabe and Beez are nothing but conveniently timed examples. I think that even without G and B running off together, Nina and Maggie could've convinced him after nothing but this "oh" conversation with Nina.
When Crowley is choking out his confession in the final 15 of episode 6, so desperate to make Aziraphale understand...he says "we're a pair, a group, a group of the two of us, and we've spent our existence pretending that we aren't". That's the point he's trying to get across. They can stop pretending, they can stop pretending, please, god, stay here Aziraphale and don't make him keep pretending.
Please, Aziraphale, he's saying. Don't go back. I only just realized that it doesn't have to be complicated. He realized that, maybe, finally, he was allowed.
Oh, he thought, out there on the sidewalk with Nina, there's nothing left but me stopping me from being happy.
Oh, he thought, while Nina and Maggie urged him to communicate, the couple that so perfectly mirrored his own wants, I could tell him how I feel.
Oh, he thought, as Aziraphale looked at him with excited eyes and explained that he wanted them both to go back to Heaven, that Crowley could become an angel again, that they could go right back to working for the very thing that had been keeping them apart for thousands of years. Oh, oh god. I thought it was over. I thought we were free. I thought that, finally, maybe, it could be easy. Maybe we can stop pretending.
And he kissed him. Because fuck, just like with Nina and Maggie, he thought it could finally be easy, but then communicating didn't work and nothing was easy and all he had left was one fabulous kiss and vavoom and he was desperate and off script and so, so scared and then he was alone in the Bentley, driving away from the bookshop, completely alone.
Maybe Crowley should've kept pretending. It would've hurt less.

❛ Crush ❜
Kurosaki Ichigo X Reader
| SFW | REQUEST? Yes | -> Headcannons
REQUEST; @r333y - Hi I saw your requests were open and I thought I would request some bleach headcanons (or anything really) if that's ok. Would you mind writing ichigo and/or ulquiorra (separately if you do both) having a crush on gn reader? Like how would he develop it, how would he act around the reader or how would he confess. Just some fluff for our boys. Thank you for considering, good day/night. ♡
a::note; i don't usually write for a 'gn' reader but i will try my best as i did state in my request rules that i only write for fem reader:3
M.LIST | BLEACH M.LIST |
How would Ichigo develop a crush?
I personally think that Ichigo would develop a crush on you regarding your abilities and strengths. Ichigo does meet important characters during conflicts and the start of his interest in you would be when you demonstrate your skill. Another one could be that you had a trait that stuck out to him, like there was something about you that didn't make sense to him, or that he wanted to know more about why you do the things that you do. I feel like mostly it would be how you fight, he feels interested in what you do and would like to know more about you because you are just so different to him.
Ichigo could see you in a vulnerable state, which could cause you to reveal your personal struggles. This reveals depth between your growing relationship and in turn, makes Ichigo feel more connected to you as you trust him.
Then it would lead to the both of you spending time with each other outside the battle field, experiencing everyday moments that show different sides of your personalities and discovering any shared interests or hobbies.
But there is one thing that I feel strongly about. I personally feel that Ichigo would need to have developed a crush on you specifically if he knows that you have the ability to look after yourself in battle. He wishes and craves that connection. Don't get me wrong, it's nice for him to save you and vise versa, but he needs to know that no matter what happens he will know that you are okay.
How would Ichigo act around the you?
To put it more precisely, when around that person, Ichigo will become a little edgy and out of his place. He may forget what he is about to say or may become a little clumsy. Although generally composed, Ichigo might blush or get flushed on his face if someone tries to tease him about his feelings when you are around. Ichigo will be quieter than usual but would glance your way, only to look hurriedly if you catch him looking.
And, I guess, Ichigo would detail an awful lot in your likes and dislikes, habits, and small details like that. But with Ichigo, I believe he's naturally overprotective, and of course, like I said before, he would have to trust in you that you could handle the situations you would get into because his protectiveness level would just shoot up real high. He'd be so concerned for you, worried for your safety and well-being, much such as to be overprotective. More of an Ichigo to care about your safety, maybe saying, "You need to be more careful! I can't always watch your back," then frowning at you.
Ichigo would just pretend to be irritable or impatient if he found you laughing with someone else, though he wouldn't tell you he's jealous.
He drives out of his way to do the kind of things that you do, whether that is something tough or easy for you, just being there when needed. Ichigo would offer to stay up late to help them understand anything they need help with. He would even sense it when you would feel low or stressed, and at that point, he would actually go out of his way to be someone who could comfort you, lend a patient ear, or show a shoulder to cry on. Even in small ways, like surprising them with your favorite snack or remembering to check in on them after a tough day, the ways Ichigo showed to care were consistent. His kindness will be real and sincere; this will convey that he has started caring more and wants you to be happy and supported.
How would he confess?
Ichigo would make sure that you two are alone when he confesses. He would probably spend a bit of time building up the courage, possibly starting the conversation with casual topics before diving into his feelings. He might struggle a bit but would try to explain what he feels :(( the poor baby.
You had noticed that Ichigo was behaving exceptionally differently with you these days, from his usual self, sometimes swapping his confidence for an insecurity that seemed awkwardly out of place. It was in little things: glances he took at her when he thought she isn't looking and the softening of his voice in speaking to her. Something in him changed, but he still tried to act as usual.
You could see that he had been wound up about something, and you kept your peace for him to talk when he would come around to it. After an ultra-long silence, finally, Ichigo took one great breath, as if he was steeling himself for what he was about to say. "You know," he started, extraordinarily reticent for being him, "lately, I've been thinking a lot—some thoughts about us, you know. You." He darted a glance at you in between, looking away afterward; the tips of his ears colored red. "I was never good with words, and this sounds. this is more difficult than anything I have fought."
The rush of emotions swirling in you had your heart racing. Ichigo pushed on, his voice gaining a bit in confidence. "I've always admired your strength, the way you carry yourself. But it's more than that. When I'm with you.I feel different. Better, somehow. You make me want to be better."
He turned entirely to face her, and his brown eyes were earnest and heartfelt. "I like you more than a friend. I don't know how to say it perfectly and I must spiral this somehow, but I had to tell you. I like you—you mean more to me than I can say, and I want to be there for you in any way I can."
Do not copy, steal, modify, etc. Relogs and like are appreciated.

Hey, heard you wanted more TDB requests, so I'm here to deliver😊. Could you do the Tokyo debunker boys (you can pick who you want) with an MC that is extremely accident prone, like you take a look away from them for a second and their covered in multiple cuts and bruises, and the cherry on top is that whenever this happens the MC is like "oops". Please and thank you.
Ofc anon ! As someone who falls over all the time, I love this idea
Tokyo debunker guys x klutz MC
Characters: The Frostheim + Vagastrom + Jabberwok guys
Kaito
He finds it adorable honestly
Because he's not particularly strong as far as ghouls are concerned, he sometimes struggles to live up to the image of your "knight in shining armour", so he 100% would use this as an excuse to catch you in his arms while you fall
Will sometimes tease you about it in a good natured way
Also uses it as a way to get you to agree to hold his hand everywhere "so that you can't fall over"
It doesn't always work - sometimes you both just end up falling over
Luca
He worries about your safety so much - you might not think it's a big deal, but what if you fall and injure yourself seriously ?
Walks right next to you everywhere you go to make sure that he can catch you easily if you fall
Unlike Kaito, Luca always catches you successfully. He then proceeds to carry you bridal style the rest of the way "so you can't fall" (not that you're complaining)
Is even more protective of you when you go on missions - will not approve of you going unless he's there to guarantee your safety, and, even then, he doesn't let you leave his sight
Carries a little first aid kit with him so he can patch up any injuries you get from falling
Tohma
"Oh for God's sake MC, why are you on the floor again ?"
Found it exasperating at first - why did you not manage to stay upright on your own two feet ?
However, some part of him does find it kind of endearing
Cannot keep an eye on you at all times due to his work as vice captain, but when he's around you he definitely tries
I could see him linking arms with you like they did in the olden days to prevent you from falling
If you do fall, expect a gentle lecture as he disinfects any bruises you got
Jin
At first, he finds it kind of cute. He definitely teases you about it when you're in private
However, if you're on a mission, his protective side kicks in - what if you fall and he isn't there to help you ? From now on, you are only allowed to go on missions with him or Tohma (preferably him) so they can keep you safe
Would definitely catch you as you were falling and carry you the rest of the wa like Luca
He pretends to be annoyed if you do fall, but in reality he loves taking care of you
Has tried using his stigma on you and telling you "Don't fall" as you hold his hand. This works well ... but only if you hold hands
Leo
This shouldn't surprise anyone, but he'd mostly be kind of a dick about it
He teases you about it SO much
Instead of helping you, he'd stand there and tease you or even record you so he can laugh at the video later
"You should have seen yourself, MC ! You fell face first right into that puddle !"
If he ever hurts your feelings he'd feel bad and try to be less mean (with limited success) but he wouldn't outright apologise
However, on a mission it's completely different - he's always by your side and picks you up at lighting speed if you fall
Will help you with any injuries, though he'll grumble about how clumsy you are
Sho
He teased you so much about it at first, but when you guys started liking each other, he begun to find it kind of cute (not that he'd ever admit it)
If you do fall, he always picks you up. At first, he's a bit too shy to carry you afterward, but eventually he starts to do it
Is so thorough about treating any injuries you might have
If you're on a mission, he keeps a very close eye on you and catches you immediately if he so much as sees you stumble. Good luck convincing him to let you go on one without him (he never will)
Alan
Jokes about giving you piggybacks/carrying you everywhere and low key starts to do it if you're into the idea
If he's not carrying you, then he's holding your hand so that you don't fall
Will physically not let you fall - he always has his eye on you and us ready to catch you
Another one who will only let you do missions with him, because no one else can protect you adequately
If you do still manage to fall, he'll dress all your wounds and kiss them better (if you're in private)
Also, if he discovers anyone giving you shit for your clumsiness, he will not hesitate to drag them into the pit and give them hell for it
Haru
Thinks it's absolutely adorable - you move like a baby giraffe !
He would also joke about holding your hand or carrying you everywhere and end up low key doing it
Always keeps a watchful eye on you to make sure you don't fall
If you do end up falling, he gives you a hug as he treats your wounds with the first aid kit he carries everywhere
Towa
Would look at you kind of sadly and offer you a hand up if you fall
Tries to catch you but doesn't always succeed
His hugs are honestly the best pain medication
Brings you flowers he found to distract you from your injuries
Ren
Won't admit in a million years that he finds it kind of cute and acts like he finds it annoying
At first, he just rolls his eyes at you and tells you to get up, but after some time passes, he starts to offer you a hesitant hand up and allow you to lean on his arm if you're injured after checking that you're ok
If you're in a private place, he'll tend to your injuries

hi, i just wanted to ask why did ronin and angel break up? also, love your game, i think ive replayed it around 5 times now. thanks for answering, if you do <3
i have lots of thoughts about this... i feel like to explain why they broke up u need to know why they got together:
ronin and angel got together partly out of proximity: feeling like they were the only ones that understood each other. they were also the only people in the server at that point which meant for about 2 weeks it was just them flirting.
angel felt safe with ronin bc unlike the men she's been with before, he actually respects her boundaries and genuinely cares about her (the bar is in hell). the fact that ronin's a trans guy helps, too: angel felt a sense of safety in his transness cause like he's dealt with everything that comes with growing up afab; he understands in a way that her past relationships don't, or don't care to understand. and ronin is quite the devilish gentleman. like angel says in game, being with ronin is the first time she truly felt safe with anyone.
as an additional point, i think angel feels guilty about "using" ronin in this sense and fears invalidating his masculinity; "does ronin think that i think he's not 'really a man' which is why i'm with him and feel safe with him?? because i don't think that" but i feel like that's a whole other ask haha. angel has a lot to unpack i'm ngl. anyway ronins answer to that is stop worrying your pretty little head.
ronin felt safe with angel because he was subconsciously projecting ther, his first love (who he still has a lot of unprocessed feelings about) onto angel. angel gives him the push-pull of ther, but without the heartbreak that came with them. angel is "his girl", now, someone he can focus on and care about, someone that he can be with, who acts similar enough to ther that he can almost pretend it's them. (as for a fun fact, angel's VA is ther's VA from gluttony gods!) even though angel's not and will never be.
angel and ronin's relationship was more out of necessity: it helped angel process her feelings about men (to an extent) and helped ronin get closure too. after realising this though, they realised they worked better as friends - because they were mutually using the other to cope and process feelings, even if it was mutually beneficial.
thank you for your ask! <3 i'm glad you enjoyed the game so much :3

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 — 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺
𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: A brief return to what happened on the day of Jason Todd's death.
𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫(𝐬): Bruce Wayne X ScarletWitch!Reader; Clark Kent x ScarletWitch!Reader (platonic); Jason Todd x Batmom!ScarletWitch!Reader.
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: This is a lot of anguish and does not contribute at all to the plot of the main story, but I love how it ends up, and I didn't put it in All For Us for reasons.
So, I hope you enjoy the suffering.
Beta Reader by @igotmessymind (Our savior and goddess, whom we must appreciate so… APPRECIATE HER!!)
𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐔𝐬 / Next Part.
Bruce always prided himself in the fact that you had always said that his mind was very well protected for somebody who was just a human man.
In the first years, when the both of you pretended to hate each other, that was the only thing that gave him some sense of security while being around you.
Of course, if you actually wanted to read his mind and explore his subcontinents that would have stopped you — but something was something, and he used to cling to that thought at that time.
Now it was just a curious fact.
Dick has learned to protect his mind from magic under your teaching, and he liked to say that he was better at it than Bruce, just to joke around.
In fact, that becomes a part of the training that your husband gives your children. An immovable condition for going out with him to patrol.
Jason has received that training too, but you have confessed to Bruce that your boy had had the same natural protection to his mind before he got to you.
These points are important for two reasons.
One.
Shortly after his fifteenth birthday, Bruce decided that Jason was beginning to be too neglected and angry for his own safety. That and the hormones make it inevitable that your husband took that decision, with Jason obviously in discord — and, in his rage for the decision, your boy ends up wandering all alone to the city one-day. He found himself in his old house and a box of memories that revealed that, in fact, Catherine Todd was not his biological mother.
It was the natural protection of his mind that allowed Jason to hide from you his guilt.
He feels bad for lying to you and going after a stranger that just gave him life.
You have taken care of him, and you are his mom. But he needed to know.
So, without you or Bruce's knowledge, he stole the Robin suit and went to find his mother once and for all.
Two.
When Bruce found the note that Jason had left explaining where he was going. His natural protection makes sure that his emotions will leak out of his head and to you.
He didn't tell you right away how Jason was looking when he left.
Bruce told you that he went behind the Joker on his own.
He should have told you the truth right away. But he knew how much you loved Jason and how heartbreaking it would be for you knew that he was looking for his mother, as if you were not enough.
When he told you the truth was when the Joker in fact was there. But, now you don't care about Jason looking for his mother, you care for his safety.
It was night when Bruce got home.
Alfred.
Oh, sweet and kind Alfred.
He was the one who told you that he had arrived. And you ignore how he looked at you with tears in his eyes and pain when you immediately whispered the name of your son before leaving him alone in the room, almost running to get to the bat-cave.
Where you thought that you would find your husband and son waiting for you.
But Bruce stopped you. He appeared without his cape or mask, but with the Batman suit still on.
That was the first signal of something wrong.
Bruce never went up to the mansion in this Batman gear. Never. Not before you marry and not after. At the start for security, and now to separate his lives.
“Bruce” you greet him smiling and hug him relieved because he was safe, ignoring the silent hassle in your heart “In so glad you two are safe” you wish as you hide your face in his chest. But he didn't return the gesture, he just watched the top of your head, his arms like dead weight at every side of him. You pulled out when you felt how tense he was, and smiled at him understanding, like you can not grasp the idea of him not being able to bring Jason home, and not thinking much of his acting was for the stress of your son running through the world without supervision for several days. “¿Where's Jason?” you asked quietly, calm as you can't be. Your baby was for sure in the cave, making a fit after Bruce scolded him all the way back to the continent. Yes, that was it.
“Love” Bruce started, the tone in his voice was not the one he used with you. Your Bruce was kind and loving while talking with you, but he sounded empty. “I-” he cuts himself when you move with the intention of passing him, and walks to the cave. “You can't go there” he says as he holds you in front of him with firm hands. You look at him, confused. He had never done something like that.
“¿Why?” you ask, “¿What happened?” your mind never went there.
The thing is, a parent never actually thinks of the worst situation for their children when something actually happens. You spend your whole life worrying about them, but when something happens, it is like your brain is taken by surprise. Or at least that's what happened to you.
When Bruce told you that you can't go to the cave your mind stopped for a second. A million reasons passed through your mind, but the truth was not one of them. You didn't visualize your baby Jay, dead in a metal table cover by a sheet. And you didn't sit, either.
“I will talk to him, I'm sure his anger is gonna pass soon enough” you said, trying again to pass him on.
“Is not that” Bruce says, his voice as dead as before. This time you tried to take him away from him, which caused him to trade to hold your wrists for you to look at him, but you didn't. You were looking to the hall behind him, the one that while taking you to the secret door to the bat-cave and to Jason. He was physically stronger than you, but you didn't stop, and you will find the mark of his fingerprints in your skin the next day. “He is not mad” he says, his voice breaking out as he saw you fight him.
“Bruce, let me go” you said while fighting still, outraged by his triad of getting away from you boy. “Bruce, stop” your voice crack at the despair.
“Love” he says, as you tried to kick him in desperation, and he took advantage of it. Bruce turns you around facing the other side of the hall, holding your hands over your chest and hugging you in your place. Didn't stop you from trying desperately to get away from him.
He needed to let you go, so you could see Jason. You have to see him.
“He's gone” Bruce finally whispers to you to hear, with his eyes full of tears, but you didn’t see it, you just keep struggling.
“¿What?. Bruce, what – JASON!!” you couldn't process it. So you call for him. “Bruce, stop. ¡¡Jason!!” you call while mange to take one of your wrists out of his hold and turn around to watch the end of the hall. Empty. No son of yours was there. Jason wasn't listening to you. “Bruce, let me go” you beg, almost trying to climb over him, but Bruce held you again.
“He's gone, the Joker-” Bruce was thankful and heartbroken when you didn't let him finish the explanation. Thankful because he didn't know how to tell this to you.
¿How will he explain that your son was dead because of him?
¿How does he say that Jason was not coming back because his choice of leaving him and Sheila alone, all open to danger, and that It cost them both their life?.
And heartbroken, because your mind finally fell into the right conclusion of what was happening.
“STOP IT. LET ME GO, BRUCE” you scream, finally breaking. You start to cry and shake into awful sobs, “JASON” you called him.
Bruce had to hold you until you stopped fighting. You scratched him, begged him, screamed and kicked. But he didn't let you go, and Jason never came up from the cave that night. It Felt like hours, but Alfred told him it had been less than ten minutes before you fell into his arms just crying, all the fight out of your body. The crying didn't stop, though.
You cry for your son all night. Bruce cries with you in silence. All night you rolled in your shared bed, like a wounded animal, crying and calling for your son. Every so often, you sleep and wake up. You would ask for Jason and when he didn't show up he would cry again. You didn't do anything else.
Likewise, you don't know when Bruce left or when Clark showed up. But your friend couldn't help but watch with the same impotence as your husband.
You understood, later, that it was Alfred who called him, to see if the word of Superman, the only other man who also knew you as Bruce did, could finally convince your husband.
“Bruce, please” Alfred begged him. The three men stood behind the closed door of the room where you had fallen asleep again after being comforted by Clark, as best he could. Alfred didn't want to be too harsh to Bruce, how waste better that you. “You have to let her see him” the butler repeat himself “Is the only thing to do”
Clark looked at both of them in silence.
He couldn't believe it either. Jason was dead. That boy so full of life and attitude, gone forever, leaving two parents totally inconsolable. He could see that nobody else with Bruce was doing what he was doing at that moment. Something that didn't happen often, but he was thankful for years of having been able to read Bruce so easily that day. When he most needs him. The man he had seen take down opponents stronger, more powerful than him, and even some otherworldly, all with no power of his own other than his stubbornness. Now he was lying against one of the walls of the mansion hall, with red eyes and leaning forward. As if it was difficult for him to breathe. Unable to stand upright under the weight of his child's life, the one he had and the one he would never live now.
He understood.
So, Clark spoke before Alfred could say more.
“I'll take her.” he said, and it was like everything froze in time for a second “I'll take her, you don't have to do it Bruce. She will not resent you for not doing it, but she will never believe it if she doesn't see him” he made sure to not make any sudden movement to raise his voice too much. Bruce didn't look at him. He stood there in silence for just a minute. Then he nodded his head.
You wake up with the movement. It was Clark. He passed his arms under your knees and around your back, picking you up from the bed. He didn't trust that you would be able to walk all the way to the elevator on your feet.
“¿Where are we going?” you ask, your voice scratchy from so much shouting and crying.
“To see Jason” he responded gently, as he stood at his full height with you in his arms, you felt like a broken doll. You were a dead weight that wasn't really a weight, but you felt like dead in his arms. Selfishly, Clark thought that he prayed to the universe never to find himself in that situation, and immediately felt bad, so he settled closer to him.
“Really?” you asked, out of breath. Your voice trembled, filled with a mixture of hope and fear. A part of you still didn't believe it, he saw it crystal clear, and he knew he never fully would. There was no going back, he would do this. For you, who was like his sister. And for Bruce, who was his best friend and partner.
“Yes, really” he confirmed.
You let your head fall over his chest as you two leave the room. Your body felt too heavy and your conscience too light. You didn't notice when they went out into the hallway or got into the elevator.
The sound it made when it reached the cave floor was what brought you back. Your first instinct was to grab onto Clark, wanting to start asking him back. You have changed your mind. You wanted to stay upstairs, where there was still a chance your son would come back. But you wanted to see your baby and if you came back you would never see him again. You would wait forever for Jason, and you would never leave that place. You knew it.
Not only that, but you couldn't do that to Bruce. Neither to Alfred. Or to your sweet Dick.
Clark takes you up the stairs to the platform at the edge of the cave, where there was a metal table where Bruce used to carry any artifact or mysterious substance, where he usually stayed until he finished identifying or disarming them. He put you down slowly. Resting your legs on the ground first and holding you until you felt strong enough to let go of his shirt. He looked at you, wondering if he wanted him to leave, but you didn't look at him. You could only see that table.
The sheet had no blood. Jason had stopped bleeding hours ago. Behind you, Clark felt the need to throw up or run, whichever came first. The thought of having to see that boy — his nephew, now dead on a table, horrified him, but he kept himself firm behind you. And when he saw that you didn't move, he delicately pushed your sword without lifting his hand until you took the first step on your own towards the body.
People said that the dead seem asleep. But he didn't. When you pulled out the sheet, your son seemed dead.
Jason Todd was dead. Your son. Gone forever.
“My baby” you whispered, starting to cry, while you touched her cold face and broke by the blows “My baby” you repeated over and over again “My baby. My baby. My baby” you didn't scream, you just clung to his body until Bruce appeared again and pulled you out of him.
You whispered crying, while you touched her cold face. Clark would remember that cry for the rest of his life. Bruce would never recover if he hadn't been the one to take you to see Jason one last time.
And Alfred thus saw the start of a series of events that would end with you breaking yourself, leading everyone to a safe place where Jason had come back from the cave that night. In the end, that was what it took so that they could all end that dark chapter in everyone's life once and for all.
Or at least that's what they thought until Red Hood appeared on the scene, to which Bruce thanked again for that natural protection of the mind that both he and Jason possessed. It was keeping you safe.

TOKYOREV BOYS WHEN THEY WANT TO BREAK-UP TO PROTECT YOU
CHARACTER(S): Kazutora . Hanma . Baji WARNING/S: angst? A/N: Please don't be surprised if the writing seems different as it goes on, I wrote each one when i'm in different moods.
Kazutora
Kazutora watches with gritted teeth as the nurse patches you up after being rushed to the hospital. It was nothing serious just some cuts and bruises, but Kazutora can't be relieved, imagining the worse that could happen if didn't arrive in time.
He thought long and hard about it, being with him had made you a target for others. and if separating from you means your safety then he was willing to do it.
but you were having none of it, all it took was to see the dreaded expression on his face to know what was running on his head. after thanking the nurse, you sternly gave him your piece of mind.
"whatever it is that's running on your head, quit it" his eyes previously downcasted and staring at the floor, flickering towards you, "I haven't said anything yet"
"It's written all over your face" you sigh, watching his eyes drift away from yours. Kazutora felt incredibly guilty that he can't bear to look at your eyes.
he had done a lot of bad things in his life, maybe this was his punishment, maybe this was his karma, if it is, he doesn't want you getting the same burden, and maybe he was right.
"Maybe it's for the better that we - "
"No" you quickly cut him off, reaching over to hold his hand, which was incredibly warm, "Listen to me, This is not your fault alright? so don't go having any thought in that pretty head of yours"
Kazutora simply stared back at you, content with your hold on his hand. wondering that maybe he wasn't so bad in his previous life to be rewarded as precious as you.
he was brought back when he felt you squeeze his hand, "are we clear?"
"…yeah" he mumbled, gently leaning towards you and nuzzling his head on your shoulder, this time he'll protect you properly.
Hanma
Hanma knows nothing good comes out of being associated with him. but he was being greedy wanting to have you in his life, he thought he can protect you but how wrong he was.
and for the first time in his life, he didn't want to be selfish, for your sake and his peace of mind.
"so that's it, see you around" he casually bid goodbye, hands stuffed in his pocket, after explaining to you he's breaking up with you 'just because he felt like it'. if it was a normal day it would have hurt you, but you knew him too damn much to know he felt guilty for what happened.
"wait a damn fucking minute" you called after him but Hanma pretended not to hear you and continued walking out of your hospital room. but you were quick to your feet, getting out the bed and dragging the bag of IV with you to catch up with him.
"you can't just come here, say what you want and leave" Hanma momentarily stops in his tracks, an internal turmoil inside his head, a slight worry in his eyes seeing you get out of bed. but if his gonna do it, he has to stay strong, as he continued his way out, "I have nothing left to say"
"Well, I do and you better fucking listen" you voice out loudly than intended, making Hanma sigh as he stops in his tracks once again to give you another piece of his mind and say words he didn't mean but will hurt you so bad that you'll probably stay away from him for good.
"you're serious-"
however, all those words got eaten and forgotten as you came tackling him, arms tightly wrapped around him, and head buried on his chest.
"Don't leave me…please" you coaxed, voice calm and gentle but Hanma can feel the tremors coming from your body. if it was fear of him leaving or fear of the accident. he doesn't care, all he knew was you needed him and that someone has to pay.
"you're a pain in the ass"
As his reasons crumble the bastards who did this to you can enjoy the last hours of their life. meanwhile, he wanted to be a little bit more selfish, as long as you want him, he'll stay with you.
Baji
When Baji came to see you with bruises and some remnants of blood, you immediately knew what had transpired before him seeing you in the hospital.
Baji just can't seat around, he just had to let out his contained rage upon seeing you all bloodied and bruised because of him. and amid the chaos of exchanging fists, he had a thought. his life had always been full of danger and will probably be more dangerous as the Tokyo Manji Gag expands.
he was sure enemies would come swarming towards him and normally that would have thrilled him. but after some careful thought, he wasn't alone anymore, the more enemies he made the more dangerous it become for you and he can only think of one thing to do.
"we should break up"
he coldly said, quick and direct he thought, hands on his side, a glare in his eyes as he stared at you. if there's one thing Baji was good at, it was his acting skills. and if you were anyone else, you would have believed him, luckily, you weren't just anyone.
"I don't understand? why?" you calmly replied, but your eyebrows were furrowed. while Baji remained a certain distance from you. it should be easy he thought, just like he practiced on his head countless times.
"I don't like you anymore"
words he thought would be enough to drive you away yet Baji swore you look calm than he thought you would be.
"then look me in the eyes and tell me you mean it" you sternly replied, and he did so with full confidence but as he searched your eyes, desperately looking for anything that will let him repeat his words, all he found was your eyes fill with unconditional love, eyes that had seen his worse and beauty. nothing came out of his mouth, words stuck on his lips.
"dammit y/n! don't make this anymore harder than it is!"
"then stop it!" you burst out before calming yourself. "I know what I'm getting when I agreed to go out with you, I wouldn't even lie, it was scary, but this is not enough to the point that it will make me leave you, you're stuck with me until the end"
"Besides I have full confidence that you would save me every time"
a rush of warmth spread on Baji's chest, he should deny it, he should continue his act and walk away yet his feet moved towards you as if having a mind of their own. would it be selfish to continue wanting to be with you despite putting you in danger.?

Shouting From the Rooftops.
A Jegulus Oneshot
(Prompt: Try. From a random word generator.)
~~~ ~~~
"We can't go through this again, James. I gave you my final answer." Regulus hissed as they walked through the corridors to the Slytherin dungeons.
James persisted anyways, nearly having to jog to keep up with Regulus' brisk pace, "I don’t understand why you hate the idea so much. I thought you liked being with me?"
Regulus groaned, "I do, you know I do, but what you're asking is impossible."
"What's so impossible about this? We're already seeing each other in secret, Reggie. I don't want to hide my feelings for you anymore!"
James knew he was being too loud, he didn't care. So what if people over heard him? So what if people stared?
James was in love with Regulus.
And he wasn't ashamed of that.
"Keep your voice down." Regulus muttered, "You shouldn't let people hear you. You know what they would think-"
"I don't care what they think."
"I care. Did you ever think about that?" He snapped. James scoffed,
"Why the hell do you think I've kept my mouth shut for the last three months?" He stopped walking, needing to catch his breath.
Regulus came to a stop just in front of him, staring at him with the hardened expression James had grown used to whenever they talked in public.
James sighed, "I want to see your smile, and not just in your bedroom. I want to sit with you in the sun and laugh and be who we are without all of these fucking secrets."
"These secrets are what's keeping you from being harassed by the entire school." Regulus rose an eyebrow, "I won't put my infatuations above your safety. No matter how much you beg."
"And what if I don't get harassed? What if nobody cares? Your brother is gay. He's been openly dating Remus for three years and nobody gives a shit about them."
"They're different-" Regulus started.
"How? Because you're a Slytherin? Because I'm a Gryffindor? Merlin, if people really cared that much about inter-house relationships you'd think there'd be a lot less of them, wouldn't you?"
"James-"
"No. I'm not finished." He huffed, "I don't want to hide you anymore. I want to take you to hogsmeade with me and my friends. I want to buy you butterbeer and be ridiculously fucking corny and hold doors open for you and give you my jumpers when you're cold. I want those things with you, Reggie."
"I want them too. It's not that I don’t..."
"Then why won't you just try?"
Regulus exploded then, "Because I can't! You know I can't! This is wrong, I-"
"Why?" James asked, cutting him off, "Who says this has to be wrong? Who says I can't love you exactly how you're supposed to be loved? Who says you're not allowed to love me back?"
"What about my brother?" He whispered, "What about Sirius? You're just going to waltz up and tell him you've been seeing me in secret?"
"Why not?"
"I'm not going to be the one to tell him i've been sneaking around with his best friend behind his back!"
"Then I'll tell him! I will gladly be the one to tell him the good news, because that's what this is. This is the best thing that's ever happened to me, Reg. Sirius is my best friend and I hate keeping things from him. You know how badly I've wanted to tell him about you."
"He'll never forgive us." Regulus looked away, "He won't understand. I'm his brother, your his best friend."
"He'll understand. I know he will. Just give me a day. Please. Just one day. If you don't like it we can pretend to break up, I swear."
"James-"
James kept going, not wanting to hear whatever excuse he came up with this time,
"I want to love you, Regulus. I want to walk down the halls holding your hand. I want to scream at the top of my lungs from the towers that you're mine. I want to give you the entire fucking world. Please just let me try."
There was a long silence. James tilted Regulus' chin so they met eyes. Regulus' were brimming with tears,
"Fine." He whispered, his voice breaking, "We can try."
And that was all the confirmation James needed.
He kissed him. It was deep and agonozingly beautiful. He kissed him until neither of them could remember how to breathe.
"I love you." He whispered against Regulus' lips, "And I don't care who knows it."
Regulus knew he should hesitate, he should look around to make sure nobody was watching, but something about the way James was smiling at him, something in the earnestness in his voice made him soften,
"I love you too, Jamie." He murmured.
And they kissed again. Right there in the middle of the hall.
They went straight to the Gryffindor common room, Regulus' restless hand tucked neatly in James' sure one.
When they told the others, Sirius was the first to hug them, congratulating them on coming out.
"We've known for a while, mate." Sirius smiled, ruffling James' hair, "It's good you finally felt ready to tell us."
The rest of their friends followed suit in congratulating them, the room was filled with smiles and laughter. James had never felt so happy.
And that was it.
From that point on the pair of them went everywhere together, they ate their meals side by side, they took strolls by the lake with their fingers intertwined. They went to The Three Broomsticks and everyone could see James holding open the door for him, putting down the money for both of their drinks as Regulus fidgeted with the tag on his jumper, the tag that read J.F.P.
And if you happened to hear shouting that sounded an awful lot like James Potter's voice coming from the astronomy tower, it's best to keep walking, he'll be there for a while.

Hi!! It's my first time requesting and I do not know how it works so I hope this message does not finish lost among other thousands of requests.
Anyways, I was wondering if you could do some headcanons on the Kings with a little sister (idk, there aren't many fics that don't focus on the reader like MC)
Note: sorry if this message sounds a bit rude, I am not good with English *Dies from shyness*
Hello! Don't worry, you sound perfectly fine. I've been taking requests for maybe a month now, so we both don't really know what we're doing lmao
Personally, I like ideas without MC (not that I don't like MC, but it's rare and always a breath of freshness)
Satan treats his little sister like a real big brother. The one you think is an idiot, but you love him anyway. He may give his life for her, but he won't give her his last kinder bueno. When they argue, the palace shakes, but it's never about anything serious, and they forget about it after fifteen minutes. I'm sure he taught her how to fight and defend herself, and she loves playing with his hair.
Mammon is the older brother drawn from a perfect story. He will do anything for his little sister. He will treat her like a princess, fulfill her every wish and pamper her like no one else in the world. How can he act otherwise when she's so adorable? She may even be as tall as him, but to him she will still be his sweet little girl.
Beelzebub and his sister pretend to strangers that they don't know each other. Beel would love to tease her, but he know being connected with him is dangerous. And she is ashamed to go out because he will do everything to get under her skin. Of course, she loves him, but Beel is... Beel. Especially if she wanted a boyfriend. Beel would have subjected him to such interrogation that the poor guy wouldn't have made it out on his own. He may like to tease her, but he's obsessed with her safety.
Leviathan is demanding and, as an older brother, he would unconsciously act somewhat paternally. He would take care of her like a treasure and forbid her from going out alone. This girl would be worshiped in Hades almost as much as he himself was. And if they both ran away from the farm… she would be the only person who understood him. In fact, having someone like that could have really good effects on him and would reduce his obsession and loneliness.

So how’d Malleus grab his kids? Was his oldest fulfilling her dreams of being an evil tyrant dragon while her siblings were making sure that no one tries to kill her?
Evil Dad AU meeting story 3 unlocked! Let's go! (Psst. I have evil queen Vil's entire story already plotted through too)
Just for backstory, Silver pretends to be a righteous knight who travels the various kingdoms under Malleus's rule. He pretends to be loyal to the various human kingdoms to learn about the many plots they've got to kill Malleus. He doesn't ever find anything worthy of worry past the supposed 'Dragon Killing blade'. But Malleus and Lilia allow him to roam around because they think it's cute that Silver cares about Malleus's safety. But one Spring (When Silver comes back to the castle to visit his family) Silver is concerned and asks for an audience with Malleus. Malleus is very off-handed because he thinks it's just Silver being overly concerned about a new weapon that's suppose to kill him. Malleus: What is new? Silver: There is a bounty for a dragon- Malleus: Are they still trying to kill me? It was cute a few hundred years ago, but you'd assume they'd learn after the dead 'heroes' reached the dozens... Silver: Silver: It's not you this time…it was for another dragon…one that actually looks like you…but younger… Malleus: The Diasomnia crew all pack up and go off into the lands to find what could only be Malleus's child. There is only one person Malleus ever slept with so they all know what it means if this is his son. And Malleus would also hope this leads him back to Yuu. They find Malicent terrorizing a small village, this much smaller version of Malleus's dragon form jumping around and setting fires. After a few moments of them all cooing they work to catch this juvinelle. Surprisingly just when they're about to catch him, another dragon child appears. The teal dragon confuses them enough to give the two enough of a gape to escape into the woods, leaving the Diasomnia crew in stunned silence. They're all confused because how are there two!? Malleus only slept with one woman in the past hundred years so there should only be one Draconia child.
Lilia: Lilia: I mean…I've never seen it…but what's to say the egg didn't hatch two babies? Malleus: Malleus: I need to find that woman… They of course catch up and nearly catch them AGAIN. Only to have ANOTHER DRAGON to swoop in. Malgona standing over them and her brother's flanking her demanding they leave HER lands. Malleus is overjoyed, he barely even cares anymore about HOW and just wants his and Yuu's children to be taken back home with them. He completely steamrolls over them saying they don't really want to leave their lands and are constantly rejecting his claim on them. It ends on the triplets bolting in different directions making them spit to catch one triplet. And even with the home-field advantage, the triplets are caught and Malleus asks them where their mother so he can collect her as well. Malgona is very bitter at being beaten but tells him they haven't seen her for three years. She would have normally visited them in the winter to make sure they were doing well in the weather, but she didn't come back one winter. Malgona: We were fine though, we have each other and are strong enough to deal with whatever could challenge us...So you can leave. Malleus: Nonsense, you and your brother's are much too young to be on your own. Malicent: We're 13... Lilia, horrified: Oh lord, you're infants. Malgona: WE'RE 13!? Lilia: Infants Malleus: By fae standards, you children shouldn't even be away from your mother's embrace yet Malathew: We're not fae though? We're dragons. Malleus: SO, that's how Malleus realizes how Yuu never planned on returning to him because she didn't even tell their children their true heritage. So into his arms they go, kicking and screaming, back to his empire and to be locked in the castle until he decides they're ready to go out into the world again.

Some Thoughts About Queer Platonic Relationships In Dead Boy Detectives
So, something that a lot of fans have been talking about is whether or not they think/want Edwin and Charles to be dating, or be queer platonic friends.
Side Note: it’s refreshing to see something like this being talked about by fans in a respectful and chill way. I think it’s because there’s no “loser” or “bad” option out of the two.
It’s been on my mind, and I wanted to share an idea I had! I would personally like to see Edwin and Charles become lovers; I’m just a sucker for pairs that are so devoted to each other like they are. But I wouldn’t have a problem with them being queer platonic friends either, especially since there’s less representation of those in visual media.
That’s when I had the thought!
I’ve been blabbering to my parents and friends who have seen the show that I really want them to bring Monty back if we get a second season. It would be so fun for him to turn back into a human and join the gang permanently now that Esther’s gone, but that’s a separate post.
But the concept of having Monty back opened a whole new door in my brain.
Bring Monty back, and make him and Edwin queer platonic friends!
At first I was like, yeah that would be cute, but then my brain did some more turning. I realized that it’s actually a brilliant, perfect idea for them.
Monty was a crow. He’s inexperienced in the human world aside from what he learned to blend in. Edwin is the first human being he genuinely connected with, in any capacity. Edwin is as much his first friend as he is his first love.
Monty was going along with Esther’s plan after he thought Edwin didn’t care, but as soon as Edwin says that he genuinely does and that he is his friend, he crumbles. Monty can’t do it.
Look at me, making my own GIFs with a little watermark and everything :3
He’s willing to directly betray Esther by getting Edwin out of the forest. Even if the Cat King hadn’t shown up, he was screwed. There’s no way she wouldn’t have found out if he had literally helped them escape her plan rather than complete it. It took Monty only a few seconds to decide, and his decision was a death sentence. He knew that, and still tried to get him to safety.
Monty then betrays Esther a second time after she kidnaps Edwin and Charles. He hears Edwin’s screams, sees Charles struggling, and chooses to help. Who knows how long it would’ve taken Charles to get his backpack by himself?
Since Crystal apparently couldn’t just fucking hand it to him, but that’s also a separate post.
All this being said, Monty does care about the squad. When he confronts Esther, he says, "You didn't tell me that mushroom thing was gonna completely eradicate them."
Key word: them. He could've said "him", referring to Edwin since he's the one Monty's in love with, but he says "them", as in both Edwin and Charles. He doesn't want to see that happen to either of them. He also asks Esther about her plans for Crystal after she's gotten the ghosts, showing thoughtfulness rather than ignoring her fate entirely. So, he would make a believable addition to the group outside of his crush on Edwin.
Speaking of his crush on Edwin, Monty knows that Edwin is in love with Charles. He knows that he and Edwin aren't going to happen. He knew that even while he tried to get Edwin to safety, but only brought it up when Edwin accused him of pretending to care. He's freaking out and terrified, but it doesn't feel like he brings up Charles out of malice. He seems genuine about it, almost as if he's trying to help Edwin realize it. Monty knows that he's struggling with his feelings; that's what they talked about on the swing set.
Honestly, I think he only runs away because Edwin lashes out and calls him a crow, like an insult, like just being a crow is unforgivable rather than him being Esther's crow. I don't think Edwin actually cares about him being a crow since he's not literally a crow after being turned human. If Monty had gotten to talk to him again after the forest before he was turned back, I think he would've forgiven him. Plus, he's fine with the Cat King and his ability to shift between the two forms, and with Tragic Mick, who once, was a mighty walrus, king of the deep- sorry, couldn't resist.
That all being said, Edwin is the first human being he's truly connected with. He really likes him and enjoys spending time with him. He also knows his romantic feelings are one-sided, but that doesn't stop him from being his friend (after he gets his hurt feelings out of the way).
I think it would be incredibly sweet if Monty got turned back into a person, and now that he's free of Esther's control, join the group, and be besties with Edwin. This little crow-boy who's new to humanity and freedom, truly getting to learn and experience the world, with the help and guidance of the first person he ever connected with?
Tell me that's not the sweetest thing ever! That would be the my preferred QPR 🥹
(ko-fi)

Summary: A surprise visit from the new team principal? Who's that?
As always, my requests are OPEN
MASTERLIST // HITLIST
~~ (^Pinterest)
You both knew taking care of a newborn was going to be time-consuming and eventually, Ralf would need to go back to work. Thankfully, Baby Ash came home during a break in the calendar, so you had Ralf’s full attention and support for the first three weeks. Looking back, it was great having your husband there every day because it made caring for your new child easy, and you were able to get a schedule set up before he would inevitably go back to work.
Alas, it did have to happen. You were prepared for it, but that did not make it any easier when you had to drop Ralf off at the airport. He did still have a team to run for the race weekend. Then for the next weekend, and the next. Then it was in-season testing and another race weekend. It was just nonstop.
Facetime only did so much for keeping in contact. Especially with timezone changes, it was hard to find times when you, Ralf, and Baby Ash were awake at the same time. That’s when you decided you would plan to surprise him for one of the races.
There were a couple of races coming up that you could, theoretically, do. You also got approval from your doctor to have your baby fly, so all was set. You wanted to surprise everyone, so you told no one. Not even Paul, who said he would help you if you wanted to fly out.
Surprisingly, the flight was not bad. It was only about 3 hours, and Baby Ash slept the entire time. It could not have been any easier. You got in and out of the airport in no time, and you got a taxi to the hotel you knew Ralf was staying at. That’s when you called Paul.
“Hey, what’s up?” Paul said immediately after he answered the phone. He was lying on his bed in the hotel room he was sharing with Ralf while Ralf had to get to the track early for a meeting.
“By chance would you have Ralf’s room key?” You asked as you moved to the side of the lobby.
“I am in Ralf’s room, why? By chance would you be trying to surprise Ralf this weekend?” He asked, already getting up and running toward the elevator and going down to the lobby. As soon as he saw you, he ran up to you, hugged you, and immediately took Baby Ash from your arms, “No way! Ralf’s gonna freak out when he sees you!”
“That’s the plan,” You joked as you followed him up to the room so you could drop off your luggage, feed and change the baby, and freshen up before heading out to the track. It was fairly easy to get through security. Paul took you through the back where you knew a couple of the guards, so they let you through without much resistance other than looking through your baby bag for safety reasons.
You two immediately booked it to the Prema garage where Ralf was still in the meeting, so you thought of a funny way to surprise him. What better way to surprise Ralf than to set Baby Ash up with some headphones on the pit wall?
Baby Ash had started sitting up all my themself recently, but you still wanted to have something or someone around them just in case something happened. You notice JM Correa sitting in the garage listening, so you enlist his help.
“Juan, I’ve got a proposition!” You asked as you walked up to him. He took his headphones off when he saw you approach him, and stretched his arms out, asking to take Baby Ash. “If I put headphones on Baby Ash and set them up at the pit wall, will you make sure they don't fall and pretend they’re your new boss? We’re trying to surprise Ralf.”
“I’m so down!” JM responded enthusiastically, causing Baby Ash to giggle as they wiggled in his hold. “I’ll set them up while you hide. I heard the meeting just ended, so he should be here any minute.”
“I’ll just hang back in the garage,” You chuckled as you reached out to briefly grasp Baby Ash’s little hand. “I want to see his reaction.”
“Better record it,” JM laughed as he walked over to the pit wall to set Baby Ash on one of the chairs, facing the endless screens. He also put a pair of headphones on their head, sizing it as close to their head size as possible, before taking a quick selfie of them together. He also loaded up one of the screens to the Dancing Fruits video, so she would have something to focus on.
All the while, Paul was waiting outside the meeting room for Ralf. He had been texting you back and forth and knew the plan. He was going to lead Ralf to the pit wall to find Baby Ash before you would pop out. He was just putting his phone back in his pocket when Ralf walked out in a rush.
“Hey, Ralf!” Paul said as he ran to catch up with him, “When were you planning to tell me there’s a new team principal?”
“There isn’t one?” Ralf answered with another question as he slowed down to walk in step with Paul. “What do you mean?”
“I heard there’s a new Prema team principal,” Paul explained, remembering the script you had given him, “I think they’re on the pit wall with JM now.”
“I’ll just call Rene,” Ralf replied with a frown as he started to pull out his phone. “He’ll know what’s going on.”
“Rene is busy with the F3 race going on,” Paul thought of quickly as he pushed Ralf’s phone back down. “The race just stared and you know Rene doesn’t look at his phone during a race. Why don’t we just go see who it is on our own? How bad can it be?”
“I guess that makes sense,” Ralf mumbled as he sped-walked towards his, well not his anymore apparently, garage. He saw JM standing beside someone in the chair, but he couldn’t clearly see who it was. Ralf took a deep breath so as to not sound too bitter before he walked over. “Is this the new team principal?”
“Yup,” JM said enthusiastically as he stepped aside, so Ralf could see who was sitting there. That’s when he knew this was a joke and his eyes fell upon his Baby Ash, wearing his headphones. All three of them broke out in laughter as Baby Ash played with the chord attached to the headphones before giggling along with everyone. That’s when Baby Ash looked up and saw their father and reached their arms out for Ralf to hold them. Ralf promptly picked them up and bounced them in his arms.
“Is Baby Ash reporting for duty?” He teased the baby as he tickled their belly. “Where’s Y/n? I know Baby Ash didn’t get here on their own?”
“I was off recording,” You chuckled as you walked up behind Ralf, wrapping your arms around his waist as you stood on his other side to gaze at him and your child. Baby Ash was enjoying all of the attention as you booped their nose. “We thought we could surprise you.”
“Well, I’m surprised,” He chuckled as he leaned down to place a kiss on your forehead. “Thank you for traveling for me. You have no idea how much I missed you two.”
“If it’s even half as much as I missed you,” You teased as you leaned up to kiss his lips before leaving a small gap between you, “I have an idea.”

I need a hug - Chanlix edition
Pairing: Chanlix
Word Count: 563
Summary: In need of comfort, Felix searches for Chan, the only one able to give him just that.
Warnings/Tags: fluff, angst, cuddles, soft!chan, soft!felix
A/N: Have fun reading🤭@miuracha
Minchan edition
do not repost, translate, or plagiarize my works in any way here or on other platforms. ©️writingforstraykids 2024 -
Felix's knock on Chan's door is barely audible, lost in the quiet of the late night. Immersed in his work, Chan looks up and frowns as he glances at the time. Who could possibly still be up at this hour after their concert today? "Come in," he calls, his voice gentle.
The door opens slowly, revealing Felix and answering his question. His hair is a mess around his head, his eyes holding unshed tears. The dim lilac light in Chan's room casts shadows across his face, accentuating his vulnerability only more.
Chan's heart aches at the sight. "Lix? Is everything okay?"
"I'm okay," Felix lies, his voice barely a whisper. He's wearing Chan's sweater, which is a little too big on him, the sleeves covering his hands. But Chan knows better. He's seen Felix push himself to the brink for the group, seen the anxiety in his eyes, the slump in his shoulders.
"Felix, you don't have to pretend with me," Chan says softly.
A painful silence stretches between them, broken only when Felix speaks, his voice laced with self-reproach. "I hate myself," he admits, his voice cracking. "For being so weak, for being unable to handle it all."
Chan stands up quickly, closing the distance between them. He places his hands on Felix's shoulders, feeling his muscles tense. "But I love you," Chan says firmly, his eyes locking with Felix's. "Your strength, your vulnerability, all of it."
Felix looks up, his eyes searching Chan's. "I'm just so tired, Chan. I can't find peace, not even in sleep."
"Let me help," Chan offers, his voice growing soothing. He pulls Felix into a hug, kissing his head. Felix's body trembles with suppressed sobs, his arms wrapping tightly around Chan.
Chan holds him close, rocking him gently in his arms. He whispers words of comfort, of love, of understanding. Slowly, Felix's breathing evens out, his body relaxing in Chan's embrace.
"You're not alone in this," Chan murmurs, his lips brushing against Felix's hair. "I'm here, always."
In the safety of Chan's arms, Felix allows himself a moment of weakness, his heart aching with a mix of sorrow and love. "Thank you," he whispers, the weight of his world slightly lighter in the presence of someone who understands and cares. Who loves him.
"You'll be okay, baby?" Chan asks gently, and Felix's hold on him tightens as if he's afraid he'd let go too soon.
"Can I stay tonight? I know you're working and have stuff to do-" he starts and gets cut off by Chan pulling back.
"Of course you can, sunshine," he says sweetly and cups his cheek, kissing his forehead. "Work is never more important than you, okay?"
"Okay," he whispers, eyes brimming with fresh tears spilling down his cheeks before he can do anything about it.
"I love you so much, never doubt that," Chan whispers back and cups his face, soothingly brushing his thumbs against his cheekbones.
"I love you too, Channie," he smiles through tears, and they sink deeper into each other's eyes before their lips meet. Felix's fingers find the hem of Chan's shirt, curling up and holding onto him. "Thank you for always being there for me."
Chan just holds him tighter, a silent promise in his embrace. In this moment, Felix finds a sliver of peace, a reminder that even in his darkest times, he is loved.

Hello I wanted to ask for a peng and azure x reader headcanons i just barely see any x readers of these two and they are my favorite.
If not then I understand I hope you have a great day/night though.
Sorry Peng’s is shorter, I had less to say about them!
Azure Lion:
Mmmm, big man.
Super protective of you even before you start dating, you can feel his grip slightly tighten on your shoulder if he sees someone get a little too close to you.
Not afraid to speak his mind to this person, especially if you have trouble speaking up when someone makes you uncomfortable.
His voice drops as his purple orbs glare down at the stranger, “You’re clearly making them uncomfortable, leave before I rethink about sparing you from a fight…”
He makes sure you’re safe and comfortable at all possible times.
He prefers verbal affection over physical affection at first, this man will die if your hand even grazes him when you first start dating.
He’ll just be talking with his sworn brothers as you walk by, intentionally brushing your hand against his paw.
He’ll have the biggest grin on his face now, his cheeks flushed red as he tries to carry on the conversation like nothing happened.
Definitely a size difference, he’s decently taller than you and he adores it.
Although he still prefers verbal affection further into the relationship, does not mind physical affection.
He loves it when you sit on his lap, his arms wrapped around you as you just enjoy each other's company and make each other laugh.
Oh, and this man definitely purrs.
You’ll be resting your head against his chest, running your fingers through his mane and he’ll just start purring.
He thinks it’s embarrassing but seeing how happy it makes you, he just lets it happen.
Struggles with criticism sometimes- takes it as a personal attack on him.
Definitely takes some time to accept your words when you tell him he's doing something wrong or bad, but don't worry!
He's a big softie when it comes to you and eventually takes your words to heart to try to fix himself.
I’d like to think he really enjoys doing domestic things with you and for you like cooking and cleaning, this man will let you relax and put your feet up after a long day of work while he makes you dinner.
His favorite is gardening, he’ll come with you to the grocery store to look at gardening tools and seeds.
“Dear, do you think we could get lilies and chrysanthemums for the flower box outside the kitchen window? I think they would match the curtains nicely.”
Totally wears Hawaiian/Polo shirts, cargo shorts, and aprons when he cooks for you.
House husband material fr.
Peng:
Oooo this smug motherfucker.
They love to tease you and otherwise just mess with you to see your reactions.
Will sometimes lift you up in their arms and fly away from what you were doing, laughing as you pout from them taking you away from your duties.
“I was grocery shopping Peng!”
“Shush darling, this is much more important.”
Smirking as you eventually agree and stop struggling in their arms, bringing you to whatever destination they had set up for you (Usually a picnic date or a scenic nature walk).
However, in the beginning of your relationship, if you show them love back will become flustered and pretend they don’t care.
“I-I am not blushing! Like I care what a mere mortal has to think about me!”
The small smile on their face as they turn away from you says otherwise.
It would take a lot of time to get up to the point where they can show their love for you back, but the payoff is definitely worth it.
Pretends to hate PDA saying it’s disgusting but secretly loves it when you take control and kiss them first.
They are protective of you, just not as much as Azure.
Will wrap their wing around your shoulder in comfort if they feel like you’re uncomfortable or nervous around someone.
“Waste one more second of your disgusting breath on my darling, and you won’t live to see tomorrow.”
Will only do this if you’re safety is in clear danger (Azure does it regardless lmao).
Although they act like they don’t care, if anything were to happen to you they hunt the person who hurt you down, even if the safest option would be to run away.

HEYY POOKIEE!!!! I had an idea from the movie, so basically the reader being the ninja's little sibling who don't get along at all. They fight over the smallest things at school and at home. That's until one day while Garmadon attacks the reader gets captured and the ninja has to save the reader, which accidentally causes the ninja to reveal their identity and the reader just gives their sibling a big hug and apologizes for everything they've said in the past and they up!!!
Okay that's it TYSM HAVE A NICE DAY OR NIGHT AND REMEMBER TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF POOKIEE💛💛💛🤍🤍🤍
Yes of course!! <33
Ninjago - Ninjas When You (Their Little Sibling) Are Taken
Kai
Kai pretended like he didn’t care when he first saw you were taken
But he was determined to get you back; in reality, he did indeed care
He was ready to do whatever it took to get you back
He fell blindly into a trap, finding himself restrained by one of Garmadon’s goons
They pulled off his mask, but his face remained hardened
He snapped at his captor, taking advantage of their brief moment of shock at seeing his face
He left his mask forgotten on the ground, rushing to your aid
He lifted you in his arms and booked it to safety
He paused on a rooftop to catch his breath
You decided to take the opportunity to apologize
The words didn’t come easy, but you finally found them
“Kai… I’m sorry. For everything. For the mask, for everything I’ve said—”
“It’s okay, Y/n. I’m just glad you’re safe.”
After that day you made an effort to be nicer to him, difficult as it was
He tried to keep his temper in check too
You silently appreciated each others’ efforts, but the fruits were even more precious
Your relationship started to shift ever so subtly, but it was doubtlessly improving
Jay
Jay was terrified when you got involved
It was like he forgot your terrible relationship entirely
He clumsily rushed to your aid, his skills crumbling under the weight of his anxiety
He ended up pinned down, and his assailant roughly pulled off his mask
His face turned bright red as he was exposed, and in a sudden burst of panicked energy he was able to push them off
He nabbed his mask quickly before remembering his original mission
Then he jumped back into action, managing to retrieve you and find a safe place to hide
He grabbed you by the shoulders, turning you from side to side to check for injuries
“Are you okay? Did they hurt you?”
“Jay, I’m so sorry! I’ve ruined everything, haven’t I? Oh, I’ve been so horrible…”
He couldn’t deny that you had been pretty bad
But he also admitted that he was no better
You shared a hug
In that moment, you formed a new bond
You both started to act nicer from then on
That hug established a new norm of tenderness between you two :)
Lloyd
He was mostly miffed when you were taken
He directed his anger at his father for getting you involved
So he went into battle with a fury he often felt when facing Garmadon
But this time it was extra personal
He confronted Garmadon directly, making a snide comment about treating his children like chess pieces
He pulled off his mask to prove the point, too angry to think clearly
Garmadon was so shocked that Lloyd was pretty much able to walk away with you
He marched away angrily, dragging you behind
He started to vent about Garmadon
After you got over your shock, you started agreeing with him, even adding your own complaints
When he was done he just huffed, burying his face in his palm
You saw that tears were dribbling onto his glove
“Um, Lloyd? I just wanted to say sorry… we don’t really have the best family dynamic, and I… I don’t want our relationship to be like the one we have with our dad.”
“Me neither. I really do love you, you know.”
“Same here.”
You embraced, vowing to be better
And you both made a valiant effort, using your father as a sort of anti-example
As it turned out, he was a strong motivator; your relationship improved quite steadily from then on
Cole
As much as he might’ve disliked you, he knew he had to save you
He couldn’t live with himself otherwise
So he hurried into the thick of the battle, his eyes locked on you all the while
He was secretly worried they’d hurt you, though he’d hesitate to admit it
He was distracted; it wasn’t long until an opponent grabbed a sudden hold of his mask
He whipped around, downing the assailant in a single blow and grabbing his mask
But he didn’t take the time to put it on, simply tucking it into his belt while he ran to your aid
The hardened look in his eyes made you feel especially guilty
You could only imagine how angry he was, having to save you and then having his identity revealed in the process
But when you were alone, he asked with surprising softness if you were okay
The look on his face had softened, too
Still, you felt guilty
“I’m fine. Um… I’m really sorry, Cole. This was all my fault..!”
“What? No, it was Garmadon’s doing. I’m not mad at you, Y/n. You’re my family. I love you, little rascal that you are.”
He ruffled your hair roughly, making you giggle
You wrapped your arms around him suddenly
He slowly hugged you back
In that moment you shared a silent agreement to be better
It might not have been spoken, but you both held fast to that agreement, and slowly your relationship did improve :)
Zane
The second you got involved, Zane’s objective was to save you
You were more important to him than anything: his pride, the mission, anything
He forgot everything else, abandoning his current task to rush over to you
In his haste, the opponent he was running from managed to catch his mask
He ran without realizing that the mask had come off
Even your flabbergasted gaze didn’t clue him in
The stares he was getting didn’t even register as he carried you away from danger
When you were alone, he mechanically asked if you were okay
You just stared at him, the image of a thousand eyes on you as you ran stuck in your mind
“Zane, your identity… I’m so sorry, if I had never been taken..!”
“Why are you apologizing? It was not your fault. I’m just glad that you’re safe. You’re my family, and I care for you greatly.”
You blinked at him, cursing the tears that came to your eyes
He hugged you, and through your tears you told him that you loved him too
After that, you decided to try and be nicer to him
He matched your efforts as soon as he noticed them; he was more than ready to fix your relationship
After all, you were his top priority ;)
Nya
She was incredulous when you were captured
She took it sort of personally
This fueled her rage, and she went on a war path to save you
She threw you over her shoulder; saving you was how she was measuring her victory
With you in her arms, she was satisfied
In her mind, she’d already won
Which made her getaway a little sloppy, and she ended up losing her mask to an especially quick assailant
She was frozen in shock and horror for a moment
Then she ran, faster than ever before
She practically collapsed as she set you down, chest heaving from the exertion as much as the panic
But she calmed herself, reminding herself that she saved you
Exhaling slowly, she straightened and put a hand on your shoulder
“Nya, I’m sorry! I never meant for any of this to happen! I love you too much… even though I don’t act like it…”
“All that matters is that you’re safe. And, for the record, I love you too.”
You shared a little smirk, a secret understanding established between you two
Knowing that you really did love each other seemed to soften the tension between you two
Teasing turned into jokes as your relationship gradually mended :)
Thanks for this request!! And thanks for reading, take care honey bears <33

Weapon Barbatos
Barbatos was your real weapon. You knew him and Diavolo almost all your life, but it was only recently, at Diavolo's urging, that you discovered you belonged together.
Even though you were the master and he was the weapon, he still wanted to serve the prince and future king. But he decided otherwise. On his orders, you traveled the kingdom hunting demons who threatened the safety of innocent people.
In fact, at first you thought it was a great idea. You'd still be working, but it would give you some time alone with your weapon and make you even closer.
What you didn't expect was that from that moment on, Barbatos began to treat you like the perfect servant to his master. You didn't understand what had led him to do this, as up until then you had been friends and treated each other perfectly normally. Not like master and servant.
You even tried to talk to him about the fact that he didn't have to treat you like a servant. That you could have had fun like you used to. But he just waved your words away, saying you were too nice.
You were on the trail of a dangerous demon when he disappeared from your sight and attacked you unexpectedly. You dodged his attack and grabbed his weapon. Unfortunately, you weren't as fast as you needed to be and the demon hit you in your non-dominant hand.
Despite this injury, the demon was no match for the two of you. All your injury did was piss off your weapon so much that the fight was won much faster.
As soon as your opponent was defeated he picked you up in his arms and carried you to safety where he treated your wound. He didn't say a word the whole way. During the treatment he apologized to you and blamed himself for failing as a weapon, that he should have been much better.
You tried to explain to him that it wasn't his fault. That in their assignment, something like this could have been expected and that no one is perfect. But you felt like you were talking to an oak tree, as he kept saying his piece.
The following morning you set off again. You walked much more slowly as your weapon insisted that you not mess with the injury.
During your journey you came across a small field where among all sorts of plants and bushes there were several herbs that Barbatos immediately recognized, as they were herbs that made a very rare tea that was very hard to come by.
You were walking past a small field of these herbs when you noticed him looking at them. You could see in him that he would have preferred to leave everything in place and go and pick them.
But instead he cocked his head to the other side and pretended not to see the herbs. And that was despite the fact that you saw his eyes keep falling to them.
"How about we make a little stop?" You suggested when you had almost reached the end of the field and it looked like your weapon wasn't going to pick the herbs.
Barbatos was momentarily taken aback, but eventually agreed. He was sure you needed a break, too. You made camp under a large tree in the middle of the meadow. He even spread out a picnic blanket for you to sit on. He checked your bandages before the silence fell between you.
"Those herbs growing over there, aren't they the ones you once made tea from?" You asked him after a moment to break the silence. Your weapon was momentarily taken aback that you remembered such a thing before he smiled and agreed. He confirmed to you that it was indeed a delicious tea and he hadn't been able to get it anywhere since.
"Why don't you pick some then? We have plenty of time and we're not in a hurry to get anywhere," you suggested. Barbatos was silent for a moment, looking you over to see if you were serious, before nodding his head in agreement. You could see in him how excited he was about it, like a little kid at Christmas.
He took care of you first before heading out into the field. He turned his hand into the blade of the sickle he was wielding and set about gathering herbs. He took great care in doing so.
That same evening Barbatos prepared a bonfire, where he brewed the first special tea from a mixture of herbs he found in the area. When you tasted it, you couldn't believe how good it was. Although all the tea or dessert and food your weapon prepared was phenomenal.
As you set the cup aside, he decided to check the wound on your arm. He changed the bandages, applied ointments to speed the healing. But when he saw your wound, all good cheer drained from his face.
You could clearly sense his sense of failure. Not so with you. You didn't think he was a failure. You took his hand and you told him what you felt. He didn't have to apologize to you for anything, it wasn't his fault. You were glad you had him with you and that he was your weapon. And to finish things off nicely, you complimented him on his tea again. Gradually, you saw the stone fall from his heart and slowly relax.
After this there was silence again, but it was no longer such a tense silence, but rather such a calm one. This also made you decide to come out with the truth and confide. You confided in him that you liked him more than just a friend. When you did, you had a blush on your face, and so did Barbatos.
"Could I be so bold as to kiss you?" He finally asked you.
You hadn't expected this, but you were grateful for it and nodded your head in agreement. Barbatos took your good hand and kissed you on the knuckles. You honestly hadn't expected this, and while it was a big improvement, you couldn't help the fleeting disappointment that flickered across your face.
"Can I kiss you again?" He asked, leaning much closer. Even now you gave him permission. He cupped your cheek with one hand before leaning in and kissing you on the lips. You closed your eyes and let yourself get caught up in the moment.
When you opened them again, you gazed into his beautiful eyes. He stroked his thumb over your cheek and whispered his own confession and the fact that he was only acting like a servant because he didn't want to jinx what was between you.
After his words, you couldn't stand it and gave him a big hug. He chuckled in surprise before hugging you back. He stroked your hair and kissed your forehead. You were the perfect master in his eyes, and he couldn't have asked for better.
Obey me! Masterlist
