Summary and party introduction for campaign the second: Seas of Perim
We’re pirates! The party is under the command of Captain O’Malley, and following a map given to him by his grandfather that’s supposed to lead to some sort of treasure. No one knows what this treasure is, but the navy wants it. So does a demon. Everyone’s a little more concerned about the demon and its cult.
Party
Clarence O’Malley: Human Rogue, Swashbuckler. The captain of the ship- though he’s drunk off his ass 90% of the time. He also canonically looks like Danny Devito
Aurora: Tiefling Monk, Way of the Kensei. The first mate, and whether or not she’s related to the Captain is up for debate. She doesn’t take anyone’s shit and also has a Thing for crazy ladies.
Bubba Gump: Human Bard, College of Lore. The helmsman, steers the ship. That’s it, that’s his whole job. Has stood at the wheel for three days straight at one point. Also high and/or drunk 90% of the time
Heindrik/Lance: Changeling Fighter, Champion I think. Had been posing as human up until recently, and is potentially becoming king of the Changelings. Defected from the navy
Mark Spangler: Human Cleric, Tempest Domain. He’s... He exists. He hasn’t done much, honestly. He’s just a Generic Dude. Every time the player describes him I immediately forget what he looks like
Alexander “Xander” Murphy: Variant Human Bard/Rogue, College of Whispers/Soulknife. The ambassador for the crew. Has family in the navy, don’t recall whether he was in the navy.
E.L. Wallace: Variant Human Cleric/Fighter, Life Domain/Gunslinger. The carpenter and doctor of the crew. Even though he has no carpentry proficiency and has precisely zero bedside manner
Brutus: Bugbear Barbarian, Path of the Berserker. The warden, he watches the brig when we have prisoners. Also generic barbarian. But he was a gladiator
Lady Ydoza: Half-Orc Druid, no idea subclass. The party found her in a desert, she doesn’t have an official job yet. The Captain’s smitten, and she’s horny 24/7
Lirtle: Tortle Warlock, Great Old One Patron. Also doesn’t have an official job, and really just tagging along with the party at this point. He’s old as fuck, and has been accused of being a cultist
Tijan: Wereraven Fighter, unsure subclass. Possible Rogue multiclass. Owns Cabana, a town that’s pretty much just 3 casinos and all the staff are under mind control. Decided he was bored in Cabana and tagged along with the party
Avrik: Triton Warlock, Kraken patron. Or homebrew adjustment of Fathomless. Something like that. He wants to help his patron achieve godhood, and thinks the party can help with that. Not that the party knows this
#Seas of Perim#SoP#This is the most chaotic of the Monday games pffffff#Also I probably misspelled Lady Ydoza's name#To be fair we mostly call her Lady D so

Digital Detox
When your modern daily cross is a black mirror, spending quality time away from it allows you to see the universe in full color. Fourth of May. Cinco De Mayo. My Taurus Twin Tower’s birthdays. V’s 40th death day. C’s death anniv. All died too soon. And this Labor Day... my ina’s 40th death day. The past weeks have not been easy but, I know something really curious is coming, or perhaps, already started. Still hanging by each moment that is either a spiral or a sparkle. What did I do the during my first-ever long leave this 2023? -Finally had a video call with my soul sister that turned out to be a session about the inner child conversations PLUS was able to finally tell her something I’ve been meaning to reveal since we were 17 years old (Yes. I’m that “not an open book” even to those closest to me.) -Visited ina’s grave several times without breaking down when no one’s watching and started planning her eternal home in a style that best represents her existence and her after life, too (Damn. This is not about the glam side of burial spots. It’s about carving her corner where her 70-80+ kids, grand kids and great grand kids can come together.) -Planning the restoration of my ina and ama’s humble home and turning it into a humble ancestral home which is so surprising as this has been a really, really crazy ride; but is here and now. (Never expected that we’d be on this page; but, hyperinflation is real so, let’s proceed with caution and a consistent set of actions. Will most likely focus on curating bits and pieces of my family plus restoring photos, mostly in film.) -MatchaME’s first voyage in the hilly sides of my ina’s sleepy town, an art hub in Laguna, another sleepy town where there’s a tiny eatery I grew up loving called Beatles (This happened during my Taurus Tito’s birthday.) In fairness, this B is really a good buy after the long wait since 2015. Will talk more about this soon because it deserves its own space and pace. HINT: No vinyl stickers, no bathroom tapes, no bike skin. Laspagan szn is on na ba talaga? Abangan ang B-Rides & B-Rolls: South To North Edition, mga ka-thiccs. LOL. -Seeing a red pimped pick up (Rar!) and a yellow butterfly during MatchaME’s first 7Eleven stop over. Cried fat tears in between chugging cold caramel mach and polvoron which again reminded me a lot of my Tito’s usual merienda in our roadtrips. The pick up was very much like my Tito’s aesthetic so it’s not about the glam car; but how it reminds me that I have to keep moving forward and that though a pick up is a dream; truth is, dreams could be demons and dragons, roaring in red, too. -Getting my teeth cleaned and hearing (again) that I have to stop munching on ice because my teeth are in good shape for my age BUT the cracks are gonna bring them down. The dentist is a Gen X liberal-conservative lady who wants to set me up with male people because she feels I am prime for survival with a pack. Later, she realized that she’s gonna have a really tough time looking for someone I can actually date. Let’s see what happens because I already politely declined but she insisted. LOL. Mhie, house plant era na po kasi talaga ako. -Getting a turtle named Master Splinter for Batulao garden house. :D I can no longer get another dog, so let’s go with the reptilian empire this time. Also, my inaanak Z has a pet turtle! -H1 life audit (jusq). No further comment, your Honor. And “so what?” and “what now” monologues. -Managing my dad’s looming spiral without him noticing it as a sneaky shithead me (LOL). Losing a mom is really life-altering. -Ambient noise and sound immersion. Didn’t listen to any PL and rarely watched any vids/content pieces which is so otherwordly. Ah, analog in lo-fi and hi-fi... you are liquid gold, indeed -Vitamin D dose :D (Still didn’t get caramel skin because my hair color is a blocker; but really had a good time under the morning sun plus sunsets, too) -Looking after my cousins as they face a final battle with the Big C in the family WITH specific boundaries -More hustle, more intent, a volunteer work that’s really close to my hidden heart and soul and a new workspace ---all these are coming this week onwards. Test of maturity, patience and intent. Never easy to be honest, but, I’m really, really, really excited. There’s something about the testosterone x estrogen x progesterone high and lows that gets me going. I really need to turn the “spiral” vibes to “sparkle” vibes. The spiral is not about work to make it clear. It’s about the road to 2024 and beyond. ;) LUH. My soul sister told me so many times that something is OFF the past weeks. Told her that, after so many struggles, I am choosing peace amidst the chaos, the noise and the non-essentials of the gods. She was taken aback and so I am. She also told me that my aura is radiating a glow. As an empath, she is amazed and still in disbelief because for the first time in forever, I might have been changed for good. Let’s see! May the Force be with you and me! PS: Really need to rewatch Star Wars. Road to geek na ba talaga ito? (Stereotyping na naman po tayo, so early in the morning!) Daming XY na tatawanan ako kasi mukhang kakainin ko mga bashing ko sa kanila from then until now a; but I don’t care. LOL. PS2: Hogwarts Legacy is still on my mind, heart and soul. :D Ang mahal though ng mga gaming consoles but, I’m thinking of making content out of this. Rar. Eto na ba ‘yun? Para naman sulit ‘yung effort saka first of hanashes in life. Abangan!

NONE OF THAT LOOKS GOOD
Dang Athena having to TELL THEM :O
ಠ_ಠ concern xd
Uhh ohhh
That's gonna be wild xD
It's gonna definitely be interesting fr
That's the end of my last thoughts! Now it's time for the. . .
REVIEW
I loved this episode! I thought it was super fun :D, but it also has a bunch of drama :O. It was good drama though :). Buck's storyline was just hilarious the whole time XD, Maddie's was o.o, and Hen's was :OO!! XD And also a bit of o.o lol. And Bobby and Athena's was cute 🥰. Anyway, I loved all the storylines! I thought they were great :). Plus, the calls were interesting :D! I'm also glad they weren't too tragic lol.
Also, fair warning everything after "drama though :)" was written today - day of the next episode xd. Yes, again, I know, but that means that this will probably be shorter - I have the free time during rehearsal today, I just don't remember all the details lol. Anyway! Continuing :).
Now for the individual parts!
Chim! We didn't see too much of him, but what he did was great :D. Maddie was mostly central to their storyline, but Chimney was there too and he was great :). I love him 🥰. And I'm glad everything worked out lol xd. Also, he was great at his job :D.
Athena and Bobby! Their running thing was so cute :D. I love these idiots so much lol 🥰🥰. And they were both great at their jobs :D. I'm not sure we saw Athena, but I'm sure she was. Anyway, we didn't see them too much this episode, but they were both great :). Also the dinner scene with Madney was great :D.
Maddie! She SLAYED :D. I'm so glad they figured out what was happening with that lady. Also even if she wasn't running a scam and using them for it, it would just be weird to walk into somebody's house like that xd. Anyway, luckily they caught her >:). Maddie was amazing 🥰🥰. I love her so much :D. And, since this wasn't quite her job, I'm sure she did great at that too :).
Buck and Eddie! Buck's powers were so hilarious XD. Also the fact that, of the examples we saw, he used them almost exclusively to help Eddie and Chris xD. I'm sure it won't last, but it was hilarious lol. And the POKER SCENE XDD. Don't even get me started lol. Plus the math homework, and the bets XD. It was just fun all around :). Too bad he's been banned from poker though lol. Although maybe he can go again when he's not super good at math XD. Who knows if he'd be any good, but still lol. Anyway, he was great lol. I love him 🥰. And so was Eddie, of course. I love him :DD. And they were both great at their jobs! Also, of course: BUDDIEEEEE!!! THOSE BUDDIE MOMENTS!!!! AAHHHHH I SWEARRRR!! THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL US!!! XD Anyway, lovely <3.
Hen and Karen! OOF. This is where the real drama this episode came from xd. Maddie was dealing with that lady, but this plot was just o.o. I felt so bad for them all 😭😭. Also I'm glad that Hen's mom managed to bring them back together :DD. So glad she saw both sides 🥰. The argument(s) was/were tough (catching me over here screaming and sobbing xd), but we made it through :'). And I'm glad Denny gets to keep seeing his bio dad <33. And I am glad he's okay :). Hen finding out about it all in the hospital was crazy though xD. Also that last scene was a POWER MOVE!! Well not literally but my point is it slayed :)). The whole "our son, our rules" - idk, it just vibed :). Anyway, the emotions were real this episode 😭, but it ended up okay :). I'm sure we'll hear more about this in the future, though. Anyway, I love them :')). Hen was great at her job 🥰. And I'm sure Karen was as well lol.
Overall, I really enjoyed this episode! I thought it was great :D. It had some great comedy moments, but also a bunch of drama o.o. It was a good balance! The main storylines were great 🥰, and the calls were cool too :))! I'm a bit nervous for next time o.o - it looks crazy lol. I am curious about the personal plotlines though - if I remember correctly we really only saw calls! Huh, interesting :D. But it appears to be the return of Ravi! I think I've heard that, but when I looked up the episodes I think I remember seeing him in the picture :). So, YAYY!!! Hopefully he is back :D. Anyway! This episode was great :). I'm glad everything worked out for the most part! Though I must say I'm curious to know how long Buck's math power will last xD. And of course, BUDDIEEEE!!! Always a win :D xD.
So yeah! I loved this episode, I thought it was great. I'm a bit nervous for next time! This has been my review of. . .

fell back asleep & had a second dream. this one was more straightforward!
i was at the beach w my dad in a different state. there were big scorpions but they were friendly :D anyway at night, we had to head out. the first part of this was almost like a heist - we were going to steal something from these 3 ladies who owned this shack on the beachfront. they had those things that you can see at the mall where you put a quarter in & ride around for a minut in the shape of a red car. i don’t remember if we were able to steal from them successfully. they ended up being very nice, so i felt bad.
then it was late afternoon & we were running errands at this series of stores in a small slightly shitty parkling lot. it was incredibly hot outside. i saw myself in the reflection & i was wearing some kind of weird blue shirt i’ve never owned in my life. ne of the shops was selling hot dogs so we got some & then went to the corner. my dad was walking faster than me bc i was SO hot but when he got to the corner there was a weird little blue machine & he disappeared. i couldn’t find him at all. the machine was rolling down the street but i didn’t see him sitting on it, so i wasn’t sure at all where he went.
i ended up getting in this group fo people who were waiting at the crosswalk. the stupid blue shirt fell off & in classic dream sequence iw asn’t wearing anything under there for some godforsaken reason so i’m holding groceries ni one hand & covering up with the other one. the sun was starting to set. this group was mostly kids on their way home from summer camp, age range 4-9 i think?? anyway i asked one if i could borrow their phone to call my dad, bbut he gave me a dirty look & walked faster with his brother & i was like yeah that’s fair enough. there was this other girl who was like “give me your gloves & i’ll let you do it” (i was wearing latex gloves) so i was like yeah okay hold these as ransom or whatever the correc tterm is, but she got to her house & was like actually never mind. she was prett ynice though after i put my usual “summer camp counselor” act in play so i was like hm... mybe i can ask somebody else. but then instead i saw my friend ellie who i haven’t really talked to since like halfway through highschool & she was there with her bf & also this other dude josh that i knew in elementary school (not the guy from college) so i was like hey long time no see can i borrow your phone? & josh gave me his [phone but the screen brgihtness was turned WAY down & any time i tocuhed the screen it would lock the phone again, & then there was NO connectoin, but fortunately then my dad poked his head into the apartment lobby like “hey any of y’all seen my daughter” & i was like WHERE DID YOU GO & then i woke up
definitely had a richly detailed dream but I just wasn't grabbing it when I woke up
- it started in some kind of area. home base? or something. I remembered a hallway that was gray. hope this helps
- riding a school bus to somewhere. alhaitham genshin impact was there, also the Raiden shogun. & alternate universe makima. also my sister & also a very bald middle aged indian man in an expensive looking white suit, so you can tell this is already off to a great start.
- au makima is still the leader of shit she has special teams? idk. al haitham is the Glue Team Leader. don't remember who else is on glue team. there are a couple others that come to mind too , but they're all technically getting dissolved or smth due to either massive danger or hugely foreseen deaths or something idk. she's nicer in this au. if she was a real person that cares about her subordinates rather than being the way that she is.
- an old lady comes onto the back of the bus through the door she's not to be trusted. I think it's my fault she's in bc I thought about letting her in and then she was in she's trying to sell things? cds? things that are definitely evil and bad. I imagined another door blocking her off and she couldn't come in.
- anyway she dissolved glue team. the facial expression he made when she said that was interesting so I kept trying to drag the bar back to see it again but I was on a tiny touchpad which made it difficult. she gave him a kiss onnthr cheek which scared him really bad bc she never acted like this before so obviously we were on the way to somw kind of great danger? but he smiled anyway.
- anyway the the roof of the bus was ripped off. we were driving on a road that resembled roller coaster tracks and were travelleing at a brisk 45mph on a 70 degree angle slope that went down for a veeylong time into a mess of other roads thatmore lookee like some tangled up yarn. thebsky was blue! great weather! disbanded glue team & at least 1 maybe 2 of the other special teams all jumped out.
- then I was on the bus waiting for it to get to my stop. i was peeking in on the rich bald man's stuff in(he has a nice laptop and a lot of paperwork) and then suddenly I was autosorted into his seat I apologized to him (he was now forced across the aisle) & he went hmm & ignored me, so at the next stop I jumped back t 5th seat on the left and got back. it made the rigt turn onto the street by my house but I became aware that raiden's E now places electro traps on the ground so my sister & I would have to dodge those to get off the bus

Fade to Green
Word Count: 3k
Summary: Vaena Velaryon, Rhaenyra's firstborn daughter, becomes the lover of Queen Alicent, who intends to keep her by any means necessary.
Pairings: Alicent Hightower/OFC, Aemond Targaryen/OFC (background.)
Warnings/Tags: dead dove do not eat, smut, incest, yandere, porn with a pinch of plot, grooming maybe?, ofc is of age tho, drunk sex, spanking, power dynamics, body worship, oral, betrayal, ofc is morally questionable because this is game of thrones goddamnit, angst, Velaryons are black, ofc is either white or white passing, dubious if ofc is Laenor's or Daemond's child, a small bit of breeding kink, hand feeding, period typical sexism, period typical homophobia, threats of violence.
A/N: Shameless smut, pure wish fulfillment, have fun :D
Vaena Velaryon stayed in King's Landing when her family departed for Dragonstone, knowing she'd feel isolated, she was also at an age where she should look for a man to marry, and that was easier done in King's Landing where lords were plenty and ever changing. She mostly kept company with Princess, now Queen Helaena, Queen Alicent, and their ladies in waiting. While Helaena wasn't the most conventional company, Vaena found her tranquil, less pressure to carry conversation, an opportunity to indulge in her own thoughts.
Vaena knew she had been treated better by Queen Alicent and her children for having the classic Valyrian looks, silvery-white hair and violet eyes. They did not spread gossip about Vaena the way she did her brothers, the grace afforded to Vaena made her foolishly forgiving of their antics towards her family.
The only thing that spared Vaena from too many rumors about her being Daemon's bastard was her hair and the fact she was born nine months after Rhaenyra and Laenor wed. Her Valyrian blonde hair curled down her back, but her skin was fair rather than dark, though it wasn't unheard of for Velaryons to have fair skinned children even if both parents were black as night.
One fateful night, Queen Alicent summoned her to her chambers. Vaena was worried, asking Alicent if something was wrong. Alicent reassured her that nothing was wrong, saying she just wanted the company. Vaena spoke with her queen, not realizing that her wine goblet was being filled and refilled. Both women were warm and woozy with wine when Alicent said the words that would change the nature of their relationship forever.
"You look so much like your mother when we were young."
And sealed those words with a kiss on the lips, then made sweeter with kisses and lovebites Vaena placed on the queen's throat, among other things they did that night. The queen taught the maiden everything she needed to know about pleasing a woman, how to caress, rub, kiss, nibble, lick, and suck, and Vaena was an excellent student, most eager to have Alicent's mauvey dark nipples and swollen cunt in her mouth. Sweet Vaena was too drunk on wine and her queen's cunt to pay much mind to Alicent calling her by her mother's name.
Alicent sent Vaena away in the early hours of the morning with a cloak that concealed her, giving her directions of how to utilize the servant corridors hidden in the walls.
It became an issue when their liaisons were less guided by wine and more with lust. Vaena had not been brave enough to mention it for many nights, only finally getting addressed when Vaena was at her breaking point.
Alicent grew restless when Vaena did not come to her chambers. After twenty minutes past the time she gave Vaena, Alicent made her way to Vaena's chambers, finding the girl weeping and barely dressed.
"Vaena." Alicent was alarmed, rushing over to her and cradled her in her arms.
"Why do you call me by my mother's name when it's I who's pleasing you?" Vaena asked weakly, not resisting the affection the queen was giving her, loving the sound of her name on her lover's lips in a tone that wasn't courtly.
"I am so sorry, I should have never let this happen." The guilt finally set in for Alicent, no, it stabbed and the knife twisted. Her better judgement told her this was a bad idea, but she had never taken a lover who wasn't her husband, and now that he was gone, now that she could say she had done everything right, she corrupted the innocent daughter of a woman she once called her best friend.
"You regret laying with me?" Vaena was barely able to vocalize through the strangled cries she let out at the notion.
"Vaena, you're beautiful, you're incredible, I shouldn't have done this to you though."
"Say my name." Vaena begged.
"Vaena." The name left Alicent's mouth reluctantly.
"Again."
"Vaena." Now with less reluctance.
Vaena cast off her chemise, nude underneath, her skin fresh and clean from her bath and smelling of orchid. She was softer and rounder than Rhaenyra had been in her maidenhood, though the flesh sat as perkily and prettily as Rhaenyra's did. Alicent had watched Vaena blossom in front of her very eyes, as did lusting men at court she caught stealing looks better reserved for a pleasure house.
"Moan it." Vaena's breasts heaving with deep, ragged breath, tears staining her cheeks, her cunt so wet a string of its nectar shined like glass between her thighs, slowly oozing down, beckoning Alicent to lick it clean with the threat of the undeserving ground getting to taste it first.
"Vaena, please."
"I'm yours, all you have to do is take me, not my mother, me-" Vaena did not get to finish her sentence before her queen fell to her knees and buried her pale face between her thighs.
Their coitus that night was laden with heavy emotions, Alicent worshipping Vaena, old memories resurfaced of how she would gladly bend the knee to and spread the knees of Rhaenyra when she was crowned, before Viserys decided to marry her.
The two lovers had an understanding by the time they were sated and spent, resting in the other's arms for as much time as they could luxuriate in before the queen wrapped herself in the very cloak she gave Vaena and made haste back to her chambers, legs still shaking.
There was another night where Alicent fed Vaena an assortment of pretty, dainty cakes from her own hand as they lounged on her bed. Alicent pretended the dry heat of the fireplace was humid Essosi warmth and she was in floaty silk rather than stiff silk brocade.
“I want to fly with you on dragonback, see the great wonders across the narrow sea, and eat only cake.”
The words had replayed in Alicent's mind for so many years, wishing more than anything that she and Rhaenyra ran off (or rather flew off) far away from the fate Alicent did end up having.
"Which one was your favorite?" The queen asked her lover. Vaena stretched her limbs, naked as the day she was born, and rolled onto her belly, allowing Alicent to appreciate the feminine curve of her spine.
"None."
The reaction stung Alicent right in the heart. The fantasy of her and Rhaenyra eating cake under the lemon trees with Syrax circling the skies nearby had plagued her mind for so many years.
Alicent, in her offense, spanked the girl so hard a glowing red handprint bloomed across the plump, bouncy flesh. Alicent hissed, the sharp spanking stinging her own palm as well. Vaena yelped, squirming out of surprise, subdued when the queen grabbed hold of her hips.
"You didn't let me finish, your grace." Vaena's voice strained with pain, a tear fell down her cheek. "No cake will ever be sweeter than your cunt."
A sigh forced its way past Alicent's lips, stunned by the vision of Vaena's soft, pretty body laid out before her, the girl's pained expression as she declared that Alicent was sweeter than any cake with candied rose petals and candied lemons ever could be made blood rush to Alicent's core.
How pretty Vaena would be supping on her queen's cunt beneath the lemon trees with her dragon keeping watch for those that might intrude, burn them alive if they dared.
Who was she to deprive Vaena of what she really craved? How could she deny a subject so eager to please?
In all of their trysts beneath the sheets, Alicent never stuck a finger inside of Vaena, wanting to preserve her maidenhead. As Vaena begged and plead to be filled with her queen's soft fingers, it forced Alicent to consider the very real possibility that Vaena would be taken from her through marriage.
After deep contemplation about the potential consequences of attempting to arrange a marriage with war looming on the horizon, and a letter from The Black Queen demanding Vaena's safe return to Dragonstone (which she burned in her fireplace along with dozens of other letters from her brothers and cousins,) Alicent decided to plant seeds into the minds of those she wished to sway, hoping they would sprout quickly.
"What do you think of Vaena?" Alicent asked Aemond, she asked him to walk in the gardens with her, finally dropping the question after steering the conversation in the direction she wanted it to go.
"She's better than those Strong boys."
"I didn't ask that, Aemond, what do you think of her?"
"She has always extended our family greater courtesy than her mother and brothers have."
"Aemond." Alicent snapped.
"What is this about mother? Are you looking to wed us to stop a war?"
"Not really... No, of course not, I just..." Alicent didn't know what to say. Aemond sighed, letting out a hum as he contemplated who exactly Vaena was to him and how their marriage might turn out.
"She's beautiful, comes from two Valyrian households, seems rather fit for bearing children." Alicent suppressed a smirk, her son's comment making her picture her lover nude and lounging around in her bed. "That is why I cannot imagine she would ever agree to be matched with the one-eyed prince." Aemond cut his mother's pleasant thought short with a frustrating quip of self deprecation.
"And if she did agree to be matched with you?" Alicent asked, voice laced with annoyance.
"Then I would be a fool to not wed her, especially at my queen's behest."
"Good, you will be wed in a fortnight."
"Is that enough time to prepare for a wedding?"
"Perhaps not one as lavish as your brother's, but your bride won't walk into the great sept in sackcloth either. The sooner you are wed, the better."
"Good, I've long dreaded the idea of an excessive wedding."
Alicent decided to not inquire Vaena about her opinions on the match, instead deciding to just tell her.
"You and Aemond will be wed in a fortnight." Alicent informed, everything about her countenance practically goading Vaena to challenge her.
The tension in the room could be cut with a knife.
"Was my mother consulted of this betrothal, your grace?" Vaena finally asked.
"And what would you do if she wasn't?" Queen Alicent asked, the look in her eyes paranoid in wild, she refused to lose her paramour to Rhaenyra and Daemon fucking Targaryen, she imagined them marrying her off to some northern lord in a freezing wasteland in exchange for an army. "Your mother hasn't written to you, your brothers have not either, nor have they visited, they wish to wage war even if you are among the bodies in the ashes. Their hatred for my family is greater than their love for you."
"I would do as my queen bids me." Vaena answered honestly.
"And who is your queen?" Alicent's hand rested at the side of her skirt, a blade concealed in her pocket should Vaena answer wrong. "Where do your loyalties lie?"
Vaena, not breaking eye contact, went down on bended knee.
"You." Vaena pledged fealty softly, violet eyes heavy with adoration, as though she might cry, as though she was looking at a goddess in a green gown, a color traditionally associated with love she now equally associated with power.
"Prove it." Alicent ordered, hiking her skirts up, revealing her cunt, firelight caught the wiry auburn curls and reminded Vaena of dragonfire.
"You have the most beautiful thighs, my queen." Vaena said as she stroked the smooth skin. "Soft, pale, warm thighs I have lavished for many nights before and will continue to for many nights after this one." She peppered the thighs she lauded with kisses. "That thatch of hair at your cunt is like dragonfire, dragonfire that delivered us our King Aegon. I swear to make it flush with blood and throb with pleasure whenever you see fit."
"If you're a good wife to my son, as soon as you're with child, I will fill your cunt with my fingers, and perhaps something better."
"I won't let him leave our bedchamber until his seed takes then." Vaena promised eagerly before feasting on her queen's cunt.
"You will love and honor my son, you will give me as many grandchildren as I see fit, more if he sees fit." Alicent spoke with heavy breath, wrapping her fingers in her lover's white curls.
"I would be honored to, my queen." Vaena said, muffled by Alicent's pussy. Vaena thought of how she might look with the silvery-white marks that stretched across a woman's body when she bore children, the idea that she'd be painted with the very marks her lover had aroused her. "I love you." She muttered lazily after her soft lips released her queen's clit with a pop, tongue delving into her core and fucking it how she imagined her queen might fuck her with her fingers.
The next day, Vaena entered the library looking for Aemond, wanting to speak with her betrothed. Even though they grew up together, they were never particularly close, not in the way she was with Helaena, and the man became an even greater mystery sometime between when he lost his eye and when he became a well-read man who trained with a sword. One thing Vaena could be thankful for is how much he intimidated others, it would afford her more peace from other men who wouldn't dare to gawk and drool at the prince's wife.
Except Aegon, perhaps, but she imagined he would be too much of a coward to take it any further than japes and jeers.
She found him reading by a corner, seated in a finely carved wooden chair with a side table large enough to rest his book on. His sharp features, handsome in a way Vaena hadn't fully appreciated until now, were flattered by the shadows and dim candlelight flickering across their hollows and high points. His scar looked softer in the candlelight, and he looked relaxed as he read, long fingers carefully turning the pages of a tome that looked older than the Targaryen dynasty.
"Aemond?" Vaena softly announced herself. Aemond acknowledged her, marking his tome and closing it, standing from his chair, his violet eyes briefly flashing with eagerness.
"I wondered when you'd come looking for me, dear niece." He said, kissing her hand.
"I wanted to meet the prince I was betrothed to, it's not uncommon for people to not meet their betrothed until the wedding." Vaena joked, earning her a curt laugh from her uncle.
"I'm surprised that you would marry me. Not only being a cripple, but we were never the closest."
"I have known you since we were children, I trust you'll be a good husband."
"Speaking of trust, I think I should address something that might cause unnecessary strain to our marriage if I am to not air it."
"What might that be?"
Aemond effortlessly steered Vaena to the corner, his imposing height like an enclosing wall, the scent of parchment, leather, and dragon fire overwhelming her senses. His height remained imposing even when he craned down his neck and put his lips just a hair's breadth from her ear.
"Just between us, niece, because I know this would mortify my dear mother." Aemond paused. "I know what you get up to in my mother's chambers." Aemond whispered. "Not that I mind, in fact, I imagine the arrangement might provide... certain assurances, one being that you won't be like your whore mother and humiliate me with a brood of bastards. No, not while my mother has a hawk’s eye on you." Aemond chuckled darkly.
"Aemond." Vaena gasped, her body responsive to the sound of his voice, she could feel it dancing across her skin, racing down her spine, and invigorating her clit. "You shouldn't-" She spoke again when she regained a semblance of composure.
"Don't say anything." Aemond interrupted. "I already know you're going to defend your brothers, even now. Unlike your late father, I won't be recognizing any children who don't look as Valyrian as you or I."
The prospect made Vaena's nerves rattle, even though the blood of the dragon was strong, Aemond was still half Hightower.
"I would never dream of giving you bastards, but what if our children are auburn of hair like your mother?"
Aemond didn't answer, nor did he react negatively, only a smirk etched across his unnerving, sharp features.
"She'd like that, wouldn't she? Babes that look like the queen, as if she fucked them into her instead of me."
Aemond laid the dark thought to rest, he straightened himself back to his full height and took a few steps back to give his betrothed a more appropriate distance. Perhaps he had been rash, but what man didn't want his children to resemble him and the characteristics of his house? Maybe allowing his mother to swoon over a grandchild with fiery auburn hair wouldn't be such a bad thing. It reminded him of a passage in a tome about the free cities and their queer customs, women wedding women and taking the seed of a man they deemed worthy if they wished to raise children.
"I'll be in the training yard with Ser Criston, high noon tomorrow, I'd like my betrothed to come watch." He said diplomatically, changing the subject. Vaena recognized that this was an order, not an invitation.
"I would love to." Vaena said with a courteous smile, hoping her nerves did not mar it.
"I look forward to it, fair niece." Aemond took Vaena's hand and kissed it one more time, looking deep into her eyes before exiting the library, leaving her standing there, imagining that his long hair might be even softer than Alicent's.
Vaena rubbed her hand, the warmth of the kiss still dancing across the skin as blood colored her cheeks.
The blood of the dragon burned hot, and Vaena would curse every one of the seven if Aemond did not burn as brightly in their wedding bed.

a ‘healing’ trip
masterlist // wattpad
summary: it was enhypen’s first trip in a while and it is filled with healing moments and mostly…chaotic moments.
ivy’s outfit: interview with enha | home | danyang
italics are them speaking in english
NOTE: by now, ivy is dating all the boys. the story of when they started dating will be revealed later.
— ENHYPEN's ideal travel?
"food." ivy answers.
"you see, food is my comfort and so anywhere that has food is a healing spot for me."
[D-7]
ENHYPEN were gathered in the meeting room as the staff wanted to discuss the location and activities they could do during their trip. the place was already decided but they just wanted ENHYPEN's opinion.
— "have you guys gone on trip together?"
"no, never without the cameras." jake says.
"never with the seven of us." jungwon adds.
— "so this time, we are going to do a travel content!"
they clapped. ENHYPEN would be travelling to Danyang! it was only 2 hours away from seoul. it had a lot exciting and healing activities there. most importantly, you couldn't miss out on the food there.
"is there a river?" jake asks. the staff nods. jake turns to heeseung and nodded with him.
"ladies and gentlemen, you are going to be witnessing a fishing show. ones where it will take hours."
it cuts to short clip of jake, sunghoon and ni-ki fishing and struggling to get one ssogari. it was caption with "ah, how did ivy predict this?"
"how about we do something classy? wouldn't it be cool to have a party or something? just me?" jay says. "what about wearing a suit?"
"you expect me at a countryside to be wearing a dress?" ivy asks.
"it's a party, someone can wear a vest. noona, can put on a pretty dress. everyone will look dandy."
"why is actually somehow persuading me. let's just do it." ivy says.
— "how did you feel when you heard you were going on a trip?"
"really happy actually, it's been a while since i've been on a trip since we've been quite busy. moreover, my parents in america now i'm the only family member here in seoul. i think the last time i went on a trip, it was with jay?" ivy turns to jay.
"where did we go to?"
"it was just a simple trip with my mom and noona." jay explains.
"i think the last time, your mom cooked some food and you went to grill some meat." ivy says.
"ah, right. you have to cook jay."
— "i think heeseung would be a great cook."
ivy holds back a laughter.
"me? i wouldn't even know where to start." heeseung says.
"our team has this pattern..."
"jake looks like he can be of help but he says 'you do it.' and for the people i wish would stay still like ni-ki or sunoo, they always say 'i'll do it." jay points out.
— "what about ivy?"
"noona, helps but she doesn't clean up."
"excuse you, what do you mean. i don't clean up? what about last night hmm?? where no one cleaned the sink and placed the dry plates and bowls in the cabinet."
"she has a fair point, jay." jake says. ivy high fives jake. jay huffs.
[D-1, a day before the trip]
each member was given a camera to record themselves packing. heeseung bows slightly to the camera.
"hello, everyone. heeseung is here."
"and ivy!" she yells so they camera could hear her. heeseung chuckles.
"it's been a while, did we ever mention we are roommates now?"
"yeah, a few times. i think engenes already know about it." ivy says.
"01z." heeseung says.
"yeahhh 01z!" ivy says. heeseung looks down at ivy. "heeseung, i'm not short." she deadpans.
"you are 20cm shorter than me."
"then grow shorter."
"no." heeseung sticks out his tongue. ivy pokes his sides and heeseung laughs.
after heeseung talks to the camera about the essentials he thought of bringing, they shut the camera off for a bit to sort a few things.
"my love?" ivy calls out. heeseung hums.
"are you going to bring that?" she points to the pillow.
"mhm."
"can i...steal?" heeseung leans down to peck her cheeks.
"we can sleep in one room together. how about cuddle me instead?" heeseung whispers. ivy blushes and pushes him away slightly.
"too close." ivy shyly says. heeseung laughs.
"look at my girl blushing." he pecks her lips. "let's continue packing hmm?"
"okay."
ENHYPEN walks over to the train station where they would be travelling to Danyang by well...the train!
"woah. it's so bright." ivy says.
"noona, you are already wearing glasses." jungwon points out.
"i'm not the only one though. mr.fashionista over there also brought one. he copied me." ivy says. jay cocks his brow.
"come here, noona." he gestures for her but she giggles and hids behind ni-ki.
"jay hyung, isn't that it?" sunoo points to the ticketing machine.
they struggled a little to get the tickets but it was solved quickly.
"so is jay hyung the captain? since he has the card."
"i have a card too." everyone looks at sunghoon, "my personal card."
"in that case, you don't mind buying some cold tea, right?" ivy bashes her eyelashes. sunghoon playfully scoffs.
"jay has the card, go ask him to buy it."
"just say you don't want to treat me. i'm fine if you don't buy me anything jagi-" ivy pauses. their eyes widened.
— caption: ENHYPEN are really close as you can tell ^^
ignoring what happened, ENHYPEN had about 20 minutes till the train left so they went to go buy some food and snacks for the 3 days they were staying at Danyang. they went to split up.
jungwon, sunoo, jay and ivy were on snack duty while ni-ki, sunghoon, jake and heeseung were on drink duty. they met up with each other and realised that they should probably go catch the train.
on the train, ivy settles with heeseung, jake and sunghoon on one side. they started cracking jokes even when the train hasn't even started yet.
"i love taking the train!" jungwon pretends to fall asleep. ivy giggles.
— staff: "we gave you a credit card before, it has the amount you'll be using for the three days."
their eyes widened.
"wait, hold on. there was a limit?" jungwon says.
"we shouldn't have spent too much!"
"but 1 million won for 3 days is actually okay."
"alright but first let's take the card from jongseong." heeseung says. jay cheekily holds onto his bag.
"don't give ivy noona too, remember when she bought a lot of clothes but ended up giving it to someone else instead because she had too much clothes?" ni-ki says.
"yah, ni-ki. how dare you, i trusted you." ivy pouts.
as they had to cook for themselves for the next 3 days, jay had to plan out what to cook for them. they had to buy things from the market just before they went to their accommodation. they discussed about it, even planned to get discounts by acting cute to the aunties and uncles there.
that was before chaos started, they were happily screaming and singing along to the song. heeseung, sunghoon and jay were the most energetic and entertaining everyone. ivy was laughing a lot. the train ride was filled with so much fun. they started to get tired and so the energy dies down. ivy lays her head on sunghoon's shoulder.
"sorry about before, hoon." ivy says. sunghoon pecks her forehead.
"it's fine, princess. you forgot the cameras were rolling and we can always say you like to call me 'jagi' as a joke." sunghoon says. jake snorts.
"so out of all of us, sunghoon gets to be called jagi on national television." jake says.
"why? would you like me to accidentally call you jagi, jaeyun?"
"how about call me, love, instead?" jake smirks.
"can you two not flirt in front of the kids?" jay says.
"what do you mean kids, hyung? we are dating noona too, okay." sunoo pouts.
ENHYPEN made it to Danyang, each of them got into the various taxis and were on their way to the market. at the market, everyone splits up.
heeseung, jake, sunghoon and ni-ki were one team.
ivy, jay, sunoo and jungwon were another team.
they looked around the market and bought some more snacks and food they had to try at the market. jungwon feeds ivy one sample piece. she happily eats it. she hums in content.
"both of them are good." ivy says.
after trying some food, they went to finally do their grocery shopping. the stall owners were super sweet, they even gave discounts. as for jungwon, he just disappeared and joined the other team. they were exploring the market area before entering the supermarket to buy more things.
"you are really pretty." the stall owner says.
"halmeoni (grandmother), i'm not that pretty." ivy says. the stall owner chuckles.
"you look like you're around my grandson's age. if you were my grandaughter-in-law, i would be so happy." ivy giggles.
"halmeoni, you are too sweet. we have to continue with grocery shopping now. i hope to see you again if i ever come back here again." ivy smiles. the stall owner smiles and waves.
"seems like you are got a free invitation to being someone grandson's wife."
"pfft if i retire and i'm still single by then i'll maybe take up that offer."
ENHYPEN eventually met up and went straight their accommodation. ivy looks around the area in shock. she gasps.
"JAEYUN!! THERE IS A RIVER!!" ivy shouts. jake goes over to ivy.
"woah, we can fish. ni-ki, sunghoon! there is a huge river, we have to go there now!" jake yells for ni-ki and sunghoon.
heeseung and jungwon went to play with the switch. jay started with cooking the curry that he promised jungwon. sunoo went to organise everything.
while ivy...
she laid one of the beds, alone and far from the others. she eventually falls asleep on accident. which is surprising since this was a new place and she doesn't normally fall asleep easily in new places. maybe it was the comforting and healing aspect to this place that made ivy fall asleep.

Treasure Hunter AU
I binged watch the Mummy trilogy while i had no wifi/internet for a while and I had an idea for a treasure hunter Mari with Daminette.
--------
Damian was bored.(age: 22-28 years old.)
At a gala party.
Meets Marinette who was equally bored.(abt the same age as D)
He finds out she was the finder of this famous artifact on display.
-----
Damian tugged at his collar, scanning the crowd. His father needed a plus one to show up with and everyone else were busy.
He grabbed a champagne flute and made his way to the edge of the room.
He found a woman in a black evening gown, looking as bored as he felt. short dark hair. Blue eyes.( I suck at describing people after the third time doing it. It feels overrated)
"Hello, stranger. You bored with mingling in with the assholes on their high horses?"
"Should I be offended?"
"We will see. Depends on you."
"How about you? A beautiful lady like you not kissing up their asses to climb the social ladder. That is strange."
She made a face. "Trust me. I don't want to be here but my friend wanted family time so I came in his place. What about you? Why are you here?"
"I am pretty sure my father wanted someone to get him out if the vultures came too close."
"Vultures, adept descriptions. I am glad no one realized who I am yet or i would be in their claws."
"Who are you representing, anyways?"
"Myself but Adrien or Kagami usually comes in my place but tonight, they have their son's play to go to."
"Adrien and Kagami. Aren't they the Agreste-Tsrungi?"
"Yep."
"You are the Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Globe trotting Treasure hunter and also world-class designer, MDC."
"Now you know. What's your name, handsome stranger?"
"You don't know?"
"Hey. Like you said globetrotting treasure hunter. I am not up-to-date on the news front. And when I am in Paris to do designer stuff, i am too busy to look at the news."
He gave her his hand, "Damian Wayne. Son of Bruce Wayne who is a billionaire and owns Wayne Enterprise."
She shook it.
"Pleased to meet you."
She stills design but like sent her designs to Adrien at least once every month, who had rebranded Gabriel to Miraculous Designs.
Some ppl thinks he did it to spite his father, who is in jail. Adrien and Mari has a partnership thing.
Mari also makes clothes but for a few months. And the rest of the time is spent travelling.
Exclusive designs from MDC are rare but the designs hand made by her are rarer so they are like a really big deal. They have the most amazing details. Really expensive and limited edition.
The rest of the time Mari spends finding Miraculouses (Miraculi ?) lost in the world so if she happens to find a few priceless artifacts that aren't the Miraculous. She donates it.
Alix helps and sometimes go find them with her.
She has Tikki and Plagg and maybe Wyazz all the time to look for curses and counter it.
She has also met John Constantine. They have an arrangement of sorts. A few magical artifacts that doesn't have to Miraculous business are given to him in exchange for any miraculous stuff he has or found.
Adrien funds her trips.
He is married to Kagami.
Kagami goes with Mari and Alix for a few months sometimes. Adrien likes being a stay at home dad.
Their kid is named Marin/Martin because it was Mari who got them together.
The few trips Mari dragged him on was enough to make him stay behind and run the business.
(Back to the story) Damian fangirled a little because Mari had been doing stuff like this since she was 18.
It was an amazing reputation she has.
She invites him to her next trip after questioning his skill sets.
------
"Are you good with heights, dark scary places and adventuring into the unknown?"
"Yes"
"You any good with guns, swords, knives, booby traps and keeping calm under pressure?"
"Yes. I have many experiences with them."
"Can you keep a secret?"
"Yes. Why are you asking me this?"
"Wanna join me on my next trip to the jungle of China? There are myths about some hidden temple."
------
Damian was a little conflicted.
He hadn't have the chance to explore the world much. He had been somewhere else for a mission (for the League of Shadows or JL business) but never for pleasure.
Being a vigilante by night and working at Wayne Enterprise by day gets a little boring after some years.
His brothers had a chance to travel the world on their own for a while. Sure, for reasons other than sight-seeing and looking for something to break out of the rut he was in. But still.
This was an exciting opportunity but a tad suspicious.
-----
"Why me?"
She looked surprised at that.
"Oh. Well, my friends enjoy coming with me on my adventures, treasure hunting and all that every now and then except Adrien but they have other things in their life to come with me all the time. I can mostly survive on my own most of the time but it gets lonely travelling on my own and it's nice if someone is there to watch my back. I understand if you don't want to come. It's just that I enjoy your company and you aren't like those assholes on their high horses. My gut feeling says I can trust you. You are not after the treasure or see it as one big game. You are looking for an escape. You would definitely catch me if I fall. As you know from my choice of friends, i have a bad habit of pulling rich kids from their stuffy lifestyle and take them on potentially life-threatening adventures." She joked. Then she lowered her voice, "Besides, it might be handy having a former assassin around."
She said in Arabic.
His hand went to his hidden knife and found it not there.
"Looking for this?" She said, holding it.
"How much do you know?" He hissed back in the same language.
"Relax," she gave back the knife, "my mother was one and I have accidentally came across a few in my adventures. I know one when i see one. I took a stab in the dark with your middle-eastern background. Speaking of, you know Talia Al Ghul by any chance."
He narrowed his eyes.
"She's my mother. Why?"
"You look like her. Met her a few times. Nice lady but scary. Mine's Sabine Cheng, goes by the Blue Reaper." She said it so casually like their parents weren't dangerous deadly assassins and had normal jobs.
"You aren't normal, are you?"
"What gave it away?"
"That you willingly gave away blackmail material to me."
"Normal people don't have assassins for mothers. And you and me aren't exactly meeting the minimum standards for normal. Besides, I just told you a family secret that you would have found out anyways with a through background search and a little digging. So far all I know about you is that your parents are Talia Al Ghul and Bruce Wayne-I wonder how an assassin got together with a billionaire-, you are a former League of Shadows assassin, you are great with weapons, keeping secrets and so far meeting the criteria for an adventure buddy. That's all I swear. And that you have some pets. A cat, maybe."
"How you know about my cat?!"
"Cat hair on your clothes." She was good. "If it will ease your mind about me, you can ask me 5 questions that I will truthfully answer. "
"So why are you doing this?"
"That's question 1. Well, I really want whatever this is between us to work. Partners, Friends, Companions, Comrades. Whatever you want to call it. Like I said, I get lonely sometimes and need some human interaction to at least keep myself sane. You looked like you want to be somewhere else and I thought this is perfect. I am not going to tell anyone about you or push you to join me. I swear on my mother's sword."
"Are we killing anybody?"
"Mostly I try to avoid that as much as possible. Sometimes I get into situations with no other alternative. " She looked away guiltily.
"Fair enough."
"Not judging me for that. That's a first for me."
"I am a former assassin and have killed before. I have no right to condemn you for your past."
"How much are you willing to tell me about this hidden temple?"
"That has to do with a secret. I would tell you more when there are less ears around. But this temple was said to hold a magic jewel that grants some powers and it is located really deep in the jungle. Getting there might take months."
"You forgot to mention that last one."
"Oh yeah. You think you can get away for some months. This kind of stuff usually takes a while. Like I said before, no pressure. Anyway, 2 questions left."
"What's my salary?"
"Aren't you a billionaire?"
"My father is. I have a trust fund and I get a salary for doing my job at the company. You are lucky that I just finished with most of my assigned projects so I might be able to come."
"I am so sorry about just assuming things about you. You can say no to the offer. The temple is said to hold some other treasures but I mainly want the jewel. We could auction off a few bits and pieces. I usually just donate them to museums and universities or sell them to those who really appreciate the history. I would also pay for the entire expenses for the trip."
"Can I think about this?"
"Sure. Here's my number. I leave on the 1st of next month. Gimme an answer a week before that so I can make the proper arrangements. It has been fun talking to you, Damian."
She walked away, going towards the buffet table.
------
Back in the car on the way home to the manor.
Bruce asked, "Who were you talking to for that long?"
"Who?"
"The one that gave you her number."
"Oh. MDC. She invited me to join her in China next month to find some hidden temple."
"She did?"
"Yes. Not only that she found out about mother and know what I did before I came here. She doesn't know about Batman, Robin or Crow. And she said she wasn't going to blackmail me but just wanted a companion to go with her. Ideally, it would be best to silence her before she digs any further into me but I trust her. I sincerely believe that she meant it when she said that she's not going to tell on me. And I am really tempted to take up on it."
"What do you want to do?"
"On one hand, i would be gone for months so there won't be Crow in Gotham for a while and I have a few projects I need to finish up. On the other hand. Father, I have been a vigilante for over 10 years now and I haven't really done much out besides that, school and now work. I have appreciated all you have done for me over the years. But I want to go with her. Do something that is not connected to Batman or Wayne or Al Ghul. Just a little something different for myself."
"You can go if you want. I am not going to stop you. I will make arrangements so the projects would be done by someone else. The others can cover your patrols. You are still young so it is understandable to want some fun every now and then."
"Thank you, Father."
Bruce put his hand on his shoulder.
"I am proud of you as Crow and as Damian Wayne. But if you want to go find some hidden temple in China just for a break from this life, to be just Damian, go for it. There are worse things you could do. Just tell me if you are going to go on any future trips like that." (I don't know DC much, sorry if that is a little OOC but I like good dad! Bruce.)
-------
Damian dialed the number on the card.
"Hello"
"I accept your offer, miss MDC."
"Damian? Right, text me your email address. I will sent you things you would need to pack and flight details. And can you come by to the Gotham Rose Hotel tomorrow? I will give more details on the temple."
-------
Damian comes by the hotel.
Marinette tells him of the kwamis and miraculous and makes him swear to not tell anyone unless they already know.
The hidden temple actually might have a miraculous.
Damian gets a little interested in the akuma situation she mentioned.
Mari doesn't say anything about it much.
When he got back, he goes to the Bat-computer and did some digging.
Ladybug looks a little familiar. Pulls up younger picture of Mari and look at that, she used to be a superhero.
Wonder Woman was kept informed of things and made sure no one goes to Paris without her knowing.
Zatanna helped capture the villain Hawkmoth and end his 2 year reign.
Fast forward, they are in Beijing now, sleeping off jetlag.
The next morning, They get out of the city somehow to the city limits and somewhere remote.
Mari uses Kalki and transports them to the jungle.
They set up camp. Cue Campfire stories.
-----
"I thought getting here would take months."
"No actually, finding the temple would. According to my research and the map I copied through less than legal means, it is somewhere in this general area. There used to a city around here too and the king or emperor pissed off some powerful priest or wizard, take your pick. There was a curse. The city crumbled down and the temple is the only thing standing because the king went there and prayed to the gods for protection. The one who answered his prayers and protected the temple in doing so the king was pressed into service of the god. The king did everything the god said for a while but later, he started to hate it and began disobeying the orders. The god cursed him for his disobedience. The temple he was protected in became his tomb and he was tasked to protect the chest inside the temple for the rest of eternity. Anyone who opens the chest would gain the ultimate power to rule the earth. Thankfully, we are not after the chest. Some powerful crack-head with a misused miraculous tried to find it and open the chest for more power. But he never returned. My theory is that the miraculous is still in the temple. As long as we don't wake up the king or go for the chest, we would be okay."
"What are the guns for? And How did you get them past security?"
"In case of emergencies, an army of undead was mentioned and guns are surprisingly good repellent. Well, most of the time. It's useless if there is a no weapons can kill 'it' rule. Then, it's just a stress reliever. I kept them in a pocket dimension. Makes it easier to get around."
Damian vowed to never let Marinette meet Jason. Judging by the pile of guns and occasional knives and other weapons she took out of the brown satchel which apparently holds a pocket dimension, Jason would adopt her. He wondered if that was all that was inside in.
-------
They packed up and started searching the jungle for hidden temple.
It was a month and a half before they found it.
They bonded a lot during that time.
They had a moment after drinking a little alcohol which Mari has in the pocket dimension. Or Drank a lot of alcohol and had sex.
It was awkward and they both agree to not talk about it again.
Soon after, they found the temple. But it is still a little far away.
But the temple is not the only thing they found. They also found a campsite with many people milling around. Some of them carried guns.
Somewhat rich bastard who overheard their conversation at the gala. Heard treasure and found out where Mari's next expedition is.
Had the help of some scholar who wants to be famous for the greatest find since King Tut.
They found the temple even though they had no magical help, they left 2 weeks before Mari did, so yeah.
Rich Bastard's name is 'Philip Anderson'(This sounds familiar to me for some reason and I can't find out why.) and Scholar is 'Harry Scott'
They have armed bodyguards and some 'hired' help to get the treasure.
Anderson is still rich but his company had been getting losses the past 2 years and this is a quick, easy get rich scheme.
Mari and Damian: "Rich asshole on his high horse."
Anderson doesn't know about the chest but Mari and Damian thinks he does and it was what he was after.
They set up camp a little further ahead of Anderson's
Unfortunately, they were found by Harry. Somehow.
-----
I am going to continue this when I am more awake.

Pass Out (Request)
Jake Gyllenhaal x gn!teen!co-star!reader, Tom Holland x gn!teen!co-star!reader
Genre: angst, fluff
Request Description: can I request a Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal x teen!reader where she gets sick during the press tour and ends up passing out in front of fans? love your writing btw!!
Warnings: none, really? sick reader, slight insecurity, language
(A/N): yeah im in berlin (we’re being very safe and wearing masks all the time :D) and thats why i havent updated much. im trying to update a bit, im writing this at 7:43 to make it before breakfast hsghssgs anyway hope y’all enjoy
“Y/n, you don’t look too good? Caught a stomach bug?”
You sighed at Jake’s question. You did quite literally feel like shit that morning, all three of you padding out of the hotel to enter the car. It was going to be another day of press, and while those days could be a bunch of fun, this time the thought just worsened your pounding headache, nausea, weakness, and general shit-feeling.
“I don’t know what it is, I just feel real bad,” you grumbled irritably. Tom and Jake exchanged glances over your head.
“Think you should stay home today? Me and Jake can take a yelling from Marvel, it’s totally fine. They hate me anyway.”
“Yeah, I was gonna say, there’s really no way Tom can worsen his image to Marvel. He can take the blame. I mean, he’s already hit rock bottom.”
You snorted at their banter, and without looking, knew Tom had that undoubtedly offended face. Though, you still shook your head sadly.
“It’s not that bad. It’ll be fine.”
There wasn’t much arguing then. The boys never knew you to be a liar about such things, and trusted your judgement completely. And, to be fair, you didn’t lie about how you were feeling. You just thought it was less bad than it was, which is why, when you entered the car, sitting between the two man-children, you got very nervous when it suddenly worsened drastically.
You were sickly-looking, and both your head and stomach hurt. Your legs felt like jello (which is a very weird sensation, by the way, causing you to wriggle your legs to give them life again), and an overwhelming feeling of nausea hit you. Overall though, you felt weak.
Jake and Tom were still watching you worriedly. Your worsened state was easily spotted by them.
“We’re here,” the driver announced. Out the window, you could see the sandy building that you were filming press in that day, and a pretty sizeable group of fans (mostly beautiful young gals) who were looking to meet their idols.
“This is a bigger group than usual,” Tom mumbled, and the comment made you involuntarily groan. You loved fans, but today everything sucked.
Soon enough, you three exited the black car, and The Jello Effect was in full effect, as you wobbled to the front door.
“Oh my God, hi! We’re super big fans!” A nice-looking lady smiled brightly when she spotted you all. Her voice was pleasant, you thought.
“Oh wow, I can’t believe we’re actually meeting them. I didn’t think they’d show up here today. Guess you were right,” came the mumblings from between them.
“We can sign a few things, if you want? We still have a bit of time before our schedule,” Tom offered kindly, because he was such a celebrity that really loved the fans, possibly more than both you and Jake (not that you two didn’t, Tom just had so much love to give out).
All the fans (girls and boys and nonbinary alike) gathered to have their shirts, comics, papers, and anything else that they wanted signed.
You felt horrific, but didn’t object, signing and smiling the best you could, but overall staying quiet. You even joined in on the pictures.
“C-Can I, um, also have a-a picture?” a shy boy asked stepping forward. Both Tom and Jake smiled and said “yeah” and “of course”, but in that moment the world suddenly got very blurry for you.
Everything was very overwhelming, the noise, the questions, the requests, and the responsibilities, and all of a sudden your legs were gone, and the ground was very close to you. And then it was black.
Jake and Tom were standing in front of the boy, when a thump came from behind them (your jello body falling down, in case you were wondering). They looked, and surely enough, there you were, on the ground.
They both immediately jumped down to you, crouching beside your collapsed body.
“Holy shit, are they okay?” one of the fans asked, as a worried murmur spread throughout the crowd of people.
“Uh, I don’t really know-” Jake said nervously. “Damn it, Y/n,” he cursed you, because, of course, you would underestimate the seriousness of your sickness.
Thinking quick, Tom grabbed the rather shy boys phone, angled it so the boy was behind him, and then tapped Jake’s shoulder. They both, comically, duck faced simultaneously, and Tom snapped a picture.
“Here,” he gave the kid back his phone, whilst Jake grabbed and lifted you.
“We gotta get them to a hospital. I don’t want to risk anything,” Jake whispered, not wanting to further upset the fans that stood beside them, with wide eyes and filming phones. Tom nodded.
“Alright, it’s been good, but, uh.. Well, we’ve got things to fix here,” Tom waved goodbye, and then followed Jake, who was sprinting to the parking lot with you in his arms.
“W-What?” you mumbled and blinked awake. You felt drowsy and sick and simply quite terrible, and it was hard to understand, but you realized you were in someones arms.
“Holy shit, Y/n, you scared the crap out of me!” Jake exclaimed breathlessly, as you awoke from your nonconsensual nap. You looked around in confusion, at Jake’s face (you had a great view of his nose and chin), the parking lot, and then a moment where you wondered what the hell was happening.
“Did I- What happened?” your mumble was weak.
“You passed out! We’re bringing you to a hospital!” Tom came from behind Jake. This made you stir.
“Uh, no. No, you’re not!” you (with much grunting and effort - and probably Jake simply letting you go out of respect) jumped out of Jake’s grasp and onto the parking lot. You stumbled, overestimating the solidness of your legs, and almost falling down again, but this time Tom was prepared. He grabbed your arm and pulled you to stand up. From his eyes came a warning look.
“Y/n. You’re sick. We’re going to a hospital. Just to make sure.”
You knew he was right, but still you couldn’t help but feel like a bother. The boys both saw your stubbornness fade slightly.
“Alright, I’ll go to the hospital. But you guys go and do press. I can’t have you getting in trouble with Marvel..” you mumbled somewhat angrily.
Jake and Tom looked at each other for a moment, and then shook their heads. They begun moving at the same time, each taking one of your arms and just starting to walk. You looked back and forth between them accusingly.
“I called an Uber. It’ll be here five.”
“Sounds good, sounds good.”
“Excuse me? I said, I’ll go alone!”
Tom stopped, turning to you. Surprisingly, he smiled playfully.
“Look, N/n. We’re going wether you like it or not, because me and Jake, we care about you too. So stop being so selfish, and let’s go get you checked out, because we can’t have you feeling sick and passing out on us. Alright?”
His voice was surprisingly light and his smile was upheld, but you could tell he was still a bit concerned. The feeling of someone caring about you. It warmed your heart a bit.
Jake ruffled your hair from behind, and you all started walking again. You smiled stupidly, and, though still present, your nausea was much smaller now. Jake eyed you from the side, watching your smile. He shook his head.
“Dummy.”

Teacups (Illumi x Fem.Reader)
(A/N: mild fluff, pregnancy, angst, nudity, cross dressing (sorta?), bathing together, emotional struggle)
Word Count: 5755
Name Key: (o/d) = older daughter (name) (y/d) = younger daughter (name)
(Summary: You come from a small, yet formidable clan of shinobi assassins and have been married to Illum Zoldyck as a way to create a bond with one of the most powerful assassin families in the world. Even though it had been an arranged marriage, you have come to love and care for your husband deeply.
Seven years have passed since your vows were spoken and you are now five months pregnant with yours and Illumi's third and forth child. You've grown concerned with the lack of bonding between Illumi and your two daughters and suggest a "father daughters' day" while you visit family. Shortly after your return home, you are surprised in how far Illumi has taken your suggestion.)
Taglist: @to-move-on-means-to-grow
"So tell me, (y/n), how have the girls been doing?" your mother asked you over her cup of tea.
The two of you where sitting at a table just outside your favorite little café in the city nearest Kukuroo mountain. With the sun shinning down on you brightly, warming your skin and clothes, you should have felt relaxed and stress free for a change. However, your mother had a bad tendency to get under your skin.
You took a sip from your own teacup and leaned back into your chair, rubbing your round pregnant belly as you did so.
"They're doing well. (o/d) has started her training and is fairing far better than I hoped she would have," you said with a proud smile. "(y/d) has been watching (o/d) and is getting excited for her own training to start."
Your mother smiled, happy and proud that her granddaughters were showing such keen interest and progress in the family art.
"I'm so glad to hear that," she said, lightly clapping their hands together in excitement. "They will make wonderfully talented shinobi." She took another sip from her tea before she continued. "And what are the little darlings doing today since you are taking the day off from teaching? I had hoped you would have brought them with you. I haven't seen them in such a long time."
"Oh, they're having a 'father daughters' day' day with Illumi," you replied nonchalantly.
Your mother's smile fell away from her lips. She had not been happy with your father when he had made the arrangement with one of the world's mostly deadly and powerful families of assassins. The youngest of eight children, you were her only daughter. She nearly killed your father when she found out that you were to be married off to the eldest Zoldyck child, Illumi. But by that point the deal was made and there was nothing that she could do.
Despite being nervous, if not a little scared, you were more than willing to do the deed. Your clan was suffering from lack of work due to over competition. Having ties with the Zoldycks held promise of a more steady stream of jobs. Your clan was highly skilled in their ways and made formidable allies. It was a win win situation.
The first meeting with your future husband had been an awkward one, to say the least. He was quiet for the most part, and shown less emotion than a corpse. At one point you had giggled at the thought that if he were anymore tense, and just held his breath, he could pass for one.
Your mother had always said you were a strange child.
"You mean, they are spending the day with those butlers?" she asked in a condescending tone.
Mother didn't like the idea of the butlers either. She was one of those that believed you should take care of your own home. To be honest, you secretly believed she was jealous. Having a butler when you had eight children would have been welcomed help, surely.
"Mother, please be nice," you chided. "You know I consider the butlers to be friends and family as well."
Out of the corner of your eye you could see the dark skinned young woman, Canary, smile a little as she pretended to read the paper. While she may have looked like she was laid back and inattentive sitting there, you knew that every one of those sharp senses of hers were alert and on the look out for any potential threat to you.
In truth, you were perfectly capable of defending yourself; pregnant or not. Having been one of the top shinobi warriors in your clan, you were skilled enough to put many of the experienced clans men face down into the dirt. Allowing Canary to come along was to help put Illumi's concerns at ease more than anything else. That, and you enjoyed the young lady's company. She wasn't quite as uptight as most of the other butlers.
"And I really wish you would give Illumi a chance," you sighed as you refreshed your cup from the decorated cast iron pot that was sitting on the table. "He's been working really hard to improve himself and isn't the same person you first met."
Your mind flashed back to when Illumi had arrived for yours and his first meet. Mother had tagged along to make sure you would not be killed right on the spot, something you still rolled your eyes at to this day. He had been extremely formal in a robotic and monotone way.
In the most deadpan manner you had ever seen, he had held up his hand and said, "Hello (y/n)'s mother, I am here to take meet with your daughter to make sure we are compatible before we are married." It was kind of cute, in an odd psychopathic kind of way.
You were pretty sure your mother had spied on the two of you through out the rest of that day.
"And no," you continued the conversation with a small shake of your head, "I meant what I said. I've pointed out to him that he needs to bond with the girls more and made the suggestion for him, and him alone, to spend the day with them."
"Is that man even capable of 'bonding'?"
There was a loud "tink" and the sudden sensation of burning washed over your fingers. You had broken your teacup. Your building frustration and anger towards your mother's comments had caused you to squeeze it too hard. The delicate little cup had no chance in the powerful grip you had placed around it.
Canary stood instantly and began cleaning up the hot liquid before you even had a chance to blink or fully register what had happened.
"Are you alright, mam?" she asked, honestly concerned. You let out a frustrated sigh and shook the remaining liquid from your scalded fingers.
"Yes, dear, I'm fine." Your gaze locked with your mother's, "If you can't speak kindly about my husband, mother, then I'm afraid that we are going to have to call it a day." A cold, deadly tone harbored within your voice.
Your mother sternly held your glare for a few seconds before she closed her eyes and sighed, her body posture crumpled a bit.
"I'm sorry, (y/n)," she said, slightly shaking her head, "I guess I still feel bitter that your choice on whom to marry was taken away from you. And, I still wo-"
"Worry about me and the girls?" you interrupted. Canary had finished cleaning the mess and brought you a fresh cup. She gracefully filled it from the same pot you had just used then turned and bowed to you ever so slightly. You thanked her and asked her to return to what she had been doing.
"Mother, that always seems to be your excuse for your rudeness," your tone was accusatory; your face, stern. "It's been over seven years since Illumi and I were married and I honestly can't think of a time I've been happier."
Your mother grimaced.
"Even though our marriage was arranged, he treats me as his equal. Together we have worked on slowly undoing the countless years of damage his parents did to him since he was a child. He's made huge progress, but he will never be what you and I would consider 'normal'. Emotions will always be something difficult for him to understand. Not to mention feel or show. But believe me when I say he does love and care for me, as well as his children."
Upon saying your last sentence your mother had begun to open her mouth to make a retort, but you already knew what she was going to say and help up a single finger to silence her.
"Before you even say 'a man who loves his children shouldn't have to be told when he needs to bond with them', keep in mind that his parents never bonded with him. Or at least not in a healthy, loving manner. The fact that he was willing to listen to me, understand what I was telling him, and put in the effort for today speaks volumes."
You had to stop and take a deep, calming breath. The rising volume of your voice, along with your rising blood pressure and heart rate, was starting to upset the twins within your belly. You could feel them kicking frantically and moving about as you angrily defended their father from your mother. Taking another deep breath, your forced yourself to relax the best you could and began to rub your belly again.
"I know your weren't entirely happy with your arranged marriage with father," you continued in a calmer state, "but I am. I love Illumi, mother, so very much. I'm sorry that you and father couldn't find a way to love each other the way Illumi and I do. But please, do not try to insert your bitter, negative emotions into our lives. If you can't be happy for me and respect my family as a whole, then I am afraid we will simply have to go back to writing letters to one another until you can learn to do so."
A glowering expression was now etched upon your mothers face, your own had become deadpan. The two of you stared at one another in silence for a few minutes as the town's normal hustle and bustle of people continued to flow passed you.
Your mother's lips scowled as she took a deep breath through her nose.
"Well, in that case, I do believe I will be heading back home," she flatly announced. Your mother removed her napkin from her lap and tossed it onto the table as she rose from her seat. With hands shaking from her own anger, she quickly gathered herself together and started to turn to walk away.
"Farewell, my daughter," she called back over her shoulder, "do contact me when my grandsons are born, will you? I think you will find that I am right by that point."
You watched the back of her head as she walked away until she disappeared into the crowd. You continued to glare at the spot you had last seen her, the edges of your vision began to turn red and your body began to tremble with seething rage.
The sudden feeling of your teacup being plucked out of your hands snapped you out of your downward spiral. Looking over, Canary was standing beside now holding your cup.
"I'm sorry, mam, but I did not want you to burn yourself again," she informed softly. You looked down at your hands just in time to see the last of the white fading from your knuckles and fingers. You must have been squeezing it without realizing it again.
With a sigh your shoulders drooped and you leaned all the way back into your chair, allowing your head to fall back. You watched the clouds lazily drift across the sky above you as your mind turned.
I'm sorry father... I tried to mend things with her, but, she's just so damn stubborn and bitter!
"Shall we call it a day, mam?" Canary asked.
"No," you lifted your head to look into her gentle grey eyes, "I'm not expected home for another few hours. And to be honest, I do not wish to return home while in such a foul mood."
"Understandable," Canary set the teacup back down in front of you. "What do you propose?"
Taking a sip from your still hot tea, you mulled things over in your head a little. Looking at the scenery around you, you hummed in thought and lightly tapped a finger nail on your cup.
"Ah!" you exclaimed. "How about we have a girls day and do a bit of shopping together before we get something to eat. It should be about time to go home by the time we're done. Maybe we could even get something for your lady friend, Amane" A sly, knowing grin graced your lips and you winked at her.
"Eh!" she started and looked down, her cheeks darkened a little. "You.. You really don't have to do that, mam."
"Oh, come on," you laughed lightly, "you know you're the closest person I have to a friend besides Illumi. And shopping with him isn't the same as shopping with you!"
"I have got to admit," Canary added softly, "Master Illumi does have some interesting tastes when it comes to his choice in outfits."
You laughed a little louder.
"That he does, my dear. I suspect he may be getting some influence from that clown friend of his."
You paid for the drinks and the two of you were off.
Since this was the first time you were having boys, you wanted to get some new things for the nursery. Most of what you needed or wanted was going to be ordered online, but you still enjoyed going from store to store looking at what each one had to offer.
After a few hours and many a shopping bag later, you and Canary eventually stop to have dinner. You were more than ready to get off your feet for a little while. The first two times you were pregnant you didn't tire so easily and your feet were not as quick to swell or become sore. Carrying twice as much baby, the case was a little different this time round.
While waiting for your food, you decided to text Illumi.
You: We're stopping for dinner before we head home, should I bring anything for you and the girls?
You nibbled on an appetizer while awaiting your husbands response. It didn't take him long as he sent a picture with a blurred portion of his face in the shot and the girls making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with chips in the background. It seemed they were both making a bit of a mess, and was that peanut butter on Illumi's cheek?
Illumi: No, we're good, thank you. See you soon.
You laughed and showed the picture to Canary who smiled and chuckled lightly. Peanut butter and jelly with chips most definitely would not have been your first choice for dinner. But seeing as Illumi had very limited experience with cooking, it was probably the safest route to go. Most importantly, it looked like they were having a good time.
Idle chit chat was pleasantly shared between you and Canary as the two of you enjoyed your food. Once dinner was done and paid for, all the shopping bags were packed into the car and the two of you were on your way home.
It didn't take long for you to start dozing off a little. The combination of a roller coaster of emotions, having been on your feat, being pregnant, and then having a nice large meal had really drained you. The gentle motion of the car was no help either.
Before you knew it, Canary was calling out to you.
"Lady (y/n), we're home."
With a mild start you became fully alert. Blinking, you looked out your window and saw your family's home. Separate and a fair distance from the Zoldyck family mansion, the large house was built for you Illumi just before (o/d) was born.
You got out of the car and stretched, then turned to Canary.
"Could you please take those bags to the nursery? I'll go through them later."
"As you please, mam," Canary replied with a slight bow.
Thanking her, you turn and head up the stairs to the front door. Upon entering your home, you removed your shoes, set them aside and hung your purse on it's hook. Your ears were alert for the sounds of your daughters and husband. The house was quiet.
"Illu? (o/d)? (y/o)?" you called.
"They're in the girls' room, lady (y/n)," a familiar voice replied from the kitchen. Coming round the corner, you found Amane cleaning up the dinner mess your husband and children left behind.
The mess wasn't terrible. Bread and chip crumbs, smeared jelly and peanut butter on the counters as well as some spilt milk. The sink was filling with soapy water for the dinner dishes to be washed, dried, and put away since their wasn't enough to run the dishwasher. The girls had most definitely made larger messes in the past, but you felt a little guilty none the less.
"Ah, Amane, I'm sorry. Illumi should have known to clean up after they were done."
Amane just shook her head.
"It's alright, mam. There really isn't much to it."
"I know, but still.." you smile and laugh lightly, "Thank you."
You continue further into the house towards the girls' room. As you got closer, you could faintly hear your daughters' voices. Curiosity took hold of you and you brought your stealth training into play. Slowly creeping up to the open door, you carefully leaned in and peaked into your daughters' room.
You blinked once. Twice. Several more times as your mouth slowly fell open in complete and utter shock.
Your daughters were sitting in their small chairs at a low, round table made for children while you husband was sitting on his knees. There was also a large stuffed dog that looked a lot like Mike sitting in one of the children's chairs at the table. (o/d)'s pastel colored plastic tea set was set up about the table. Little plastic plates held evidence there had once been treats upon them as there were cookie crumbs left behind.
The girls were dressed in pretty kimonos, gifts from grandmother Kikyo, and were wearing makeup. To much eye shadow and rouge, messy lipstick, you recognized (o/d) handy work. They were having a conversation with Illumi occasionally adding in a comment or answering a question when one was directed to him. Every so often, one of them, including Illumi, would take a sip from their plastic cup.
But, it wasn't just the sight of your fearsome assassin husband playing tea party with his two beautiful little girls that had caught you so off guard. No, it was how he looked.
Illumi was wearing one of your fancy kimonos over his clothes. The size of his chest and shoulders prevented the front from closing properly, but the three of them didn't seem to mind. His long, luxurious hair was tied into several messy braids of which varied in size. Each long braid ended with a pastel colored ribbon tied into a bow.
Copious amounts of makeup in the same manner as the girls was proof that Illumi's face had also been a canvas for (o/d)'s application practice. Jade green eyeshadow nearly reached his high sitting eyebrows and went as far down as tops of his cheekbone. The eyeshadow nearly blended into the large amount of rose pink rogue that practically covered the entirety of his cheeks. Dark plum colored lipstick was messily applied to his thin lips in a manner that reminded you of a comic book villain from your childhood. Illumi honestly looked more clown-like than his friend.
Once your initial shock had faded, you found yourself smiling from ear to ear. Quietly, you pulled your phone out of your pocket and brought up the camera. You made sure to keep your movements slow as you carefully aimed your phone lens towards your family.
Just as you were about to take the picture, (y/d) caught sight of you.
"Mama!!" she happily cheered.
Her actions caused both (o/d) and Illumi to glance at (y/d) then look in the same direction she was. That's when you took the picture. It was perfect.
"Oh, hello dear, did you just get home?" Illumi inquired.
"I did," you replied. You came into the room and smiled at each one of them in turn. "I'm sorry if I interrupted your tea party my darlings."
"It's okay mama," (o/d) said, "we can move Mike Jr. and you can join us!"
Before you could respond, (o/d) started to get up to move the stuffed animal. But then Illumi held up a hand, causing her to stop.
"Actually, I do believe it is close to yours and your sisters bedtime. The two of you should get ready for bed."
"Awwww," both the girls cried out in disappointment, causing you to let out a soft giggle.
They really must have been having fun if they don't want to stop. I'm glad.
"But, we wanna keep playing, papa," (y/d) whined. She was starting to get tears in eyes. It was a sign that she actually was starting to get sleepy, even though she didn't really show it. (y/d) only really ever cried anymore when she was starting to get tired.
"Now, now," Illumi reached over and patted (y/d) on the head. "We can play more tomorrow after lunch when (o/d) is done with her training. I don't have to leave for my mission for another couple of days, so we have plenty of time to play."
"You promise?" (y/d) sniffled.
"I promise," he assured his littler girl in his usual expressionless tone.
"Alright then, girls, I'll help you wash up for bed. Illumi? Would please take the dirty dishes to Amane? She's in the kitchen cleaning up right now."
"Yes, I can do that." Illumi stood and started to collect the dishes when (y/d) suddenly grabbed one of his arms.
"Papa, please read our bedtime story!"
Illumi's eyebrows rose a little. He had never been asked to read their bedtime story before. This prospect excited (o/d) as her little face lit up and she eagerly grabbed her father's free arm.
"Yeah, papa! Please? Could you read us a story tonight? Please?"
You laughed at your daughters' enthusiasm. The sight of them begging their father like this was just too cute. Illumi looked over at you and you wave your hand palm up and gestured to the girls as if to say, "well?"
He looked back down at his daughters and gave a single nod. "Very well then. Go with mama and I will read you two a story when you are all cleaned up."
"Yeeaaahhh!!" the girls cheered together and bolted out of the room for the bathroom. Illumi watched as they ran out, a small, barely noticeable smile was on his colored lips. His dark, wide eyed gaze then turned to you as you wrapped your arms around one of his now vacant ones.
"I take it you three had fun today?"
"Yes, I do believe the mission was a success."
You suppressed a laugh which caused you to make a noise akin to a snort.
"Bonding with your daughters is not a mission, my love, but it is a worthy goal. And it seems that today was a good step towards that goal."
"I do not see much of a difference, but I will take your word for it."
You rolled your eyes and went to kiss him on the cheek, but quickly stopped yourself when you remembered the thick layer of makeup and kissed his nose instead.
Upon hearing the girls starting to make a ruckus in the bathroom you released your husband and turned in their direction. Illumi took this as his cue to continue collecting the dishes for Amane to clean.
A few minutes into helping the girls clean up their faces a startled cry from the kitchen nearly made you jump out of your skin. You became alert and listened carefully for any signs of a fight starting. There where none. However, you could hear the voices of Illumi, Canary and Amane talking in a light hearted manner.
"I think papa scared Amane," (o/d) giggled. You blinked at her and quickly pieced together what she was thinking.
With the way Illumi looked at the moment, his face and hair done up and wearing clothes in an odd fashion, Amane may have not recognized him right away. You couldn't help but chuckle a little at this realization.
"I think you're right, (o/d)."
Once the girls were cleaned up and in their night clothes they both jumped into (o/d)'s bed just as Illumi was returning. (y/d) had already chosen the book for the night and was excitedly waving it in the air. It was "The Big Book of Bedtime Stories".
Illumi settled down between the girls who snuggled up to him and got comfortable as he turned to the right page.
"Alright then," Illumi cleared his throat to begin the story, "Once upon a time, in a forest thick with trees and dancing with life, there was a small family that lived in a cottage by the river."
Illumi continued reading in his steady, monotone voice. It was soothing, if not somewhat hypnotic. You even caught yourself dozing off while seated at the foot of the bed. Looking over at your family, you found yourself smiling once again. It had not even been ten minutes and they were both sound asleep.
Normally, it would take around 15-20 minutes before the girls would even start to fall asleep. But with the constant activities of the day with their father and his steady hypnotic tone in his story telling, it was almost like Illumi had cast the perfect sleeping spell.
Your husband had not yet realized the girls so you took out your phone and snuck another picture without him realizing it. You then reached out and gentle squeezed his foot in your hand. He paused and glanced up to see you pointing at your daughters in which he followed your direction. Looking down at the sleeping figures, Illumi's usual deadpan expression softened ever so slightly and the corners of his mouth turned up into a tiny smile.
Looking back up at you, you gave him a thumbs up and stood up from the bed. He carefully scoot down between the girls to reach where you had been sitting. Once there, he too stood up from the bed then turned and carefully scooped up (y/d) in to his strong arms. Without producing even the slightest of sounds he strode across the room and tucked (y/d) into her bed as you tucked in (o/d).
You followed Illumi out of the room, turning off the light as you went. Once a little ways from the room, you spoke.
"I didn't expect them to fall asleep so quickly. Maybe I should have you read to them more often."
"Hmmm, perhaps," he said thoughtfully. "Although I am sure having a long day had something to do with their tired state."
"Oh, I'm sure you're right. But still, I think you did a really good job." Illumi actually smiled at your praise. "Now, lets head to our bathroom, I'll help you get cleaned up."
The two of you headed into the bathroom where you went straight to your vanity to retrieve your makeup removal products.
"Oh," you heard Illumi exclaim causing you to look up at him. He was leaning across the vanity and looking at himself closely in the mirror. After a few moments he turned towards you with his usual expression and pointed to his face.
"(o/d) really did a number on me, didn't she. I can see how I startled Amane. I'm hideous."
You blinked, then burst out laughing. Illumi was somewhat startled by your reaction and he turned to look at himself in the mirror again while still pointing to his face.
"I honestly don't see what's so funny."
"I'm sorry, dear," you gasped between bouts of laughter, tears in your eyes," I- It's just- Are you just now seeing your face?!"
"Well, sort of. (o/d) put this on just before the tea party. She showed me with one of their toy mirrors, but I figured since it was a toy it didn't show very well. It appears I was wrong."
Your laughter died down and you carefully wiped your tears from your eyes.
"My love, I think your wonderful." You smiled at him. "You're an amazing man that made his daughters the happiest children in the world today. And for that, you are absolutely beautiful."
Without moving Illumi simply closed his eyes and a smile of accomplishment and joy spread across his lips. You let him bask in the praise for a few more moments before you reached out and turned him face you. You sat him down on the vanity stool then set to work wiping off the frighteningly large amounts of makeup away with a removal wipe.
"How did things go with your mother today?" Illumi asked. You paused in what you were doing a little to long, causing him to open his eyes. His large, obsidian orbs gazed into your smaller (e/c) ones. "That bad?"
You sighed and continued what you were doing, "Yes, she refused to be nice once again. I probably won't even bother to contact her again until the babies are born."
"That's right," Illumi remembered, a slight sound of excitement in his voice, "you had an appointment this morning before you were to meet your mother. How did that go? What did you find out?"
Your mother's voice echoed through your mind. Her response to the news you gave her when you had first met for tea that afternoon.
"Once he finds out those babies are males he's going to insist on training them the same way he was trained. Brutally, and without love or compassion. The traditional Zoldyck family way."
She's wrong! you thought bitterly. But a shadow of worry made your stomach twist into a small knot.
"(y/n)?"
You blinked, you had stopped cleaning his face again while in thought. You weren't sure what expression you had on your own face at that moment, but you could see it was causing your husband to worry.
Taking his hands into yours you brought them up and placed them on your round belly. A warm, loving smile graced your lips as you peered into his eyes.
"My love, you will soon be the proud father of two sons."
You nearly cried when you saw actual joy show on Illumi's face. He leaned forward and brought his head down, touching his forehead to your belly. You cupped the side of his face with one hand and gently began to stroke his head with the other.
He was silent for a few minutes, living in the moment. Then Illumi shuddered a little as a multitude of feelings surged through him. Joy, fear, excitement, concern, love, anger. It was overwhelming to him.
"My sons-" he choked on the emotional overload. "My sons, they will be the ones to break the cycle. They will not go through what I went through."
A surge of relief washed through you causing tears of joy to form in your own eyes. You gently turned Illumi's head upwards to face you and was stunned to see there were actual tears in his eyes as well. Leaning down you planted a warm, loving kiss to his colored lips. Not giving a damn about the lipstick that was now smearing all over your own lips. You then touched your forehead to his and nuzzled your nose against his own.
"I'm so proud of you, Illu," you spoke softly, "You've come so far. I love you so much, my husband."
"My wife," he whisper back, his breath brushing your lips, "I couldn't have come this far without you. Thank you, (y/n), I love you, too.”
You broke away slowly, peering down at your husband with so much love you didn't even know you could emit. His smile was still on his lips as he reached up and brushed his thumb across the smeared lipstick on your lips.
"Yeah, you're still a mess," you laughed lightly. You grabbed a fresh wipe and set back to work. "Once I am done here you just need to give your face a quick wash. I'll start us a bath then help you take out all of the braids."
"I would like that," Illumi replied, still smiling.
By the time you have cleaned the majority of the makeup from his face most of his deadpan expression had returned. The only difference from the norm was that he still had a shine in his eyes and a small smile on his now clean lips.
He quickly washed his face with special soaps then set to work untying the ribbons from his hair, carefully undoing the long braids. You started the bath. Holding your fingers under the running water from the bath faucet until it was the right temperature, then set the plug. You added yours and Illumi's favorite essential oils before going over to help him with the braids.
You couldn't help but smile at how he was practically glowing. The two of you made quick work of the braids. You were amazed how not a single hair tangled even in the messiest of braids. Secretly, you believed your husband somehow used some of his nen to keep his hair from becoming tangled and knotted.
Once Illumi's hair was free of braids and put up into a bun, the two of you stripped to nothing. Illumi climbed into the bath first and settled down without making even the slightest ripple in the water. He held out a hand for you to use for balance as you climbed in next. You settled between Illumi's legs and leaned back into him with a sigh of pure contentment.
Leaning your head to the side and back onto his shoulder, you felt the warmth of the water seep into your muscles causing your body to relax completely against Illumi's body. Illumi moved his hands to rest on your belly and leaned his head against yours. The two of you relaxed in silence for a few minutes. Both lost in their own thoughts. For once, it was Illumi that broke the silence.
"(y/n)?" You hummed a response. "Have you thought of names yet?"
You chuckled, "Not yet, dear. Do you have some ideas?"
Illumi went into a long list of names and the meanings behind each one. You would comment here and there but mostly just let him talk. It was so rare for him to talk this much voluntarily. And as he rambled on about names and what fun things he wanted to do with all his children, you couldn't help but smile.
You were wrong, mother, you thought to yourself, My husband may be flawed to you, but he's absolutely perfect to me. And that's all that truly matters.

The Cane (Part 4)
@flyboytracy asked:
Steampunk AU: five uses for a cane and one time Scott used it for its intended purpose 😘
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
Aaargh, those migraines messed with my muse on this one. Had to fight it the entire way and the cane reference is tiny. Hope you enjoy it anyway ::hugs to all::
Many thanks to @janetm74 @tsarinatorment and @scribbles97 for all their help and amazing support of my crazy. And to @flyboytracy for asking in the first place.
This be Steampunk AU with a mix of John snark, a little bit of wee!Tracys in a little bit of peril, some selfless Scott, and a reason you don’t want to mess with Five or her pilot.
-o-o-o-
4.
“This is very inconvenient.”
Scott stared at his brother in the dim light. “Is that an attempt at impersonating Lady Penelope?”
John stared back, dust drifting haphazardly off his hard helmet and goggles. “As you’ve said many times yourself, there is no use in panicking.”
He had to give his brother that. A sigh and he assessed their situation yet again, shining his torch about the space they found themselves in.
They were in a basement. It was likely that they were lucky, as all indications were that if they had been in any other part of the building, they would not be having this conversation or any other any time in the future. The basement had a wall of solid bedrock on one side, the building having been constructed with that in mind with half the plumbing bolted into the rock. Unfortunately, the rest of the structure had been built on sand, which promptly liquified when the earthquake hit.
Speaking of earthquake. “How long do you think before the next aftershock?”
John pulled out his notebook, took a note of the time on the watch he had strapped to his wrist, and scribbled down some math. “They are very unpredictable, but I’m hoping this last big one will give us some time. Or at least, Virgil some time to dig us out.”
Scott fiddled with his transmitter unit. There was no response on any frequency he attempted. Either the equipment was broken or something was stopping the signal from reaching his brothers. John had already pulled his apart and attempted a signal boost with no success.
They were both covered in dust, but fortunately uninjured.
But, for the moment, they were stuck.
Scott was not very good at sitting still.
“We may as well rest so we can be ready when needed.”
Scott grunted.
His brother ignored him and wiped off a large chunk of masonry with one leather-gloved hand and sat down. “You know Virgil will find us.”
Another grunt.
“Sit down, Scott. You can afford to take a minute to rest.”
He let out a breath and bit his lip, but with a sigh, he did as his brother asked.
There was silence for a moment, broken only by the sound of dust and rock settling.
“Why did you come back in?” John’s voice was crisp, clear and calm.
“You were in here.” Obviously.
“But now both of us are trapped, whereas if you had run like you should have, you could be assisting Virgil to dig me out.”
Scott’s lips thinned. What had been his line of thinking? Had there been a line of thinking? To be honest, all he could recall was the thought that John was under a building that was about to collapse and he needed saving.
His voice was a little rough. “Virgil will get us out.”
“Hmm.” John was not looking at him.
“What did you expect me to do? Leave you here to die?”
Aquamarine turned calmly to catch his eyes. “Better than both of us.”
“We’re not dead.”
“Pure chance.”
John was always ever so direct.
“But important nonetheless.”
John sighed. “Reminds me of the well.”
Scott eyed him. “Really? You’re going to bring that up again?”
“Eternally, my dear brother.” John’s smirk was exceedingly annoying. “Besides, it passes the time.”
“I would rather spend time finding a way out of here.” Scott shot to his feet and began pacing around the space they were stuck in.
“If you disturb something that brings the rest of the building down on us, I’m haunting you until the end of time.”
Scott slumped a little. His brother was right. Messing with the fragile pile was just asking for trouble. They were lucky to have room to breathe, much less walk around.
“This is the reason why you ended up in the well, Scott. You haven’t changed in twenty odd years.”
Scott glared at him. His little brother had been six at the time, Scott only ten. The two of them had gone beyond the borders of the Tracy farm in Kansas and into land they shouldn’t have. They were exploring. John, as always, was a little more cautious, but Scott was ever running ahead.
It was rather ironic that it was John who fell in the well.
It wasn’t long dug, but the planks covering it were flimsy and the winds from the previous day had obscured them. John had gone through them as if the planet had eaten him.
“John!”
Scott found his little brother clutching his leg at the bottom of the hole.
It wasn’t a very deep well, but it was deep enough to put his brother out of the reach of a ten-year-old.
“Scotty, my leg hurts.”
“I’ll get you out.” He looked around for something to help John.
Perhaps he knew in some part of his mind that this could be the wrong decision. He had no rope and no real way to reach his little brother. He should get help.
But he couldn’t leave Johnny here on his own.
The thought was terrifying from both of their perspectives.
Perhaps he would have thought it a little less terrifying if he realised what could happen if he didn’t fetch help. Because once he found a long enough stick, he reached over the edge and while doing his best to add to the length John couldn’t quite reach, he fell in the hole on top of his brother.
There were groans and tears after that.
Scott didn’t hurt himself. John had been heard to comment on multiple occasions thereafter that it was because he landed on a cushion he called brother.
Scott countered that by saying he was lucky he hadn’t been impaled by a bony limb of said scrawny brother.
In any case, they huddled together for warmth for thirty-six freezing hours until someone finally found them.
By then, both brothers were dehydrated and starving.
The lecture from their father was almost as long as their time in the well.
Their mother, pregnant with Gordon at the time, took ill with the fright and there was some seriously scary time until the little fish was born a month later…a touch early.
Virgil wouldn’t let either of his brothers out of his sight for a good year after the incident. The nine-year-old obviously terrified they would disappear again.
It became legendary in the Tracy household for good or bad.
“So, you’re saying, I should have gone for help?”
Something clunked in the pile of rubble.
John arched an eyebrow. “As I said, you haven’t learnt. Yes, Scott, you should not have dashed back into the collapsing building. When Virgil finds out, he’s going to scalp you.”
“I’m sorry that my first instinct is to protect my brothers.”
John rolled his eyes, both original and artificial. “Your first instinct should be to protect yourself so you can protect your brothers.”
Folding his arms across his chest, Scott shifted his weight onto one foot, cocking his hip. “Fine. Then explain Bermuda.”
“That was different. That was saving lives.”
“You rammed a twenty-eight gunned frigate with Five!”
“It was firing on a sinking civilian target full of over two hundred passengers, including my four brothers. Grandma was not aboard. It was a fair decision.”
Scott had to admit it had been spectacular, the huge, blue-grey, manta-ray-shaped Five had reared out of the ocean and sliced the pirate vessel in half.
International Rescue had fished the survivors out of the water and there had been minimal casualties, considering.
Five had taken damage, but her cahelium superstructure was designed to withstand something as simple as a mostly wooden hull. Some gentle care from Virgil, an assessment from Hiram, and she was declared fit and well.
They had disappeared for a while after that as the rumours ran riot. Lady Penelope managed to smooth any ruffled feathers at government level.
Scott had both commended and roasted John alive.
“You could have been killed.”
“So could have you, and Virgil and Gordon and little Allie. Was I supposed to sit back and watch?”
Another clunk from somewhere in the rubble.
Scott arched an eyebrow. “Perhaps, you know how I feel.”
“Of course, I know how you feel. We all do.”
“Then what is the problem?”
“Scott-“
But John was interrupted by another clank, this time clearly from one of the pipes against the wall.
“Virgil?” They both said it at once and hurried over to the rock face.
The clunk repeated itself and then started on a very familiar dot dot dot…
S C O T T
He reached behind and pulled his folded cane out of its sleeve on his back. Its metal tip shone dull brass in the yellow light.
He only had to tap one letter. Dot dot dot dash.
V.
Three letters came back in a hurried jumble of excited hammering. F A B.
Then…S T A T U S?
J A N D S W E L L A N D M O B I L E.
S T A N D B A C K ?
F A B.
Assuming Virgil was referring to the rock wall as the point of origin, the two brothers stepped as far back from it as they could.
Moments later a rumble and hiss of gears, the crash of breaking masonry and daylight suddenly shot through part of the rubble. This was quickly followed by a massive but familiar brass claw reaching in and grabbing a large chunk of rock, disappearing with it. A crunch of gravel, shove of rock…a shout. “Scott, are you in here? John?” Their goggled and fully armour-suited brother pushed the rest of the way through the pile of broken building, both claws fully extended.
“Over here, Virgil.”
Their brother’s head turned in their direction and metal shoulders sank in relief. “Oh, thank god.”
Something shifted in the rubble pile and Virgil reacted, his right claw slamming into the chunk of masonry threatening to fall. “Let’s get you out of here.”
Scott didn’t need to be told twice as the remains of the building creaked around them in warning. Grabbing John’s arm, he hustled his brother out through the gap past Virgil.
The engineer’s eyes on the both of them.
No doubt there would be a medical examination in their near future.
Shoving John gently ahead of him, Scott turned to keep an eye on Virgil.
His metal clad brother stepped back carefully, letting rock fall in his wake.
Then, as if the final domino had been tipped, the entire pile began collapsing in on itself.
Scott took a step towards Virgil only to have his arm yanked on from behind.
“Damnit, Scott protect yourself!” John dragged him through the remains of the rubble as a cloud of dust roared behind them.
“Virgil!” He dug his heels in, fighting John’s hold.
“He’s wearing his armour, Scott. You are not! Move!”
It went against everything. He had to protect his brothers first. But John was right. Neither of them was wearing enough protection. Virgil was.
He had to trust.
Trust that Virgil knew what he was doing.
When put in those terms the answer was simple. Of course, he trusted Virgil.
Perhaps it was fate he had issues with.
John dragged him clear of the building and the cloud of dust. Two, nestled on her landing struts, was a wonderful sight.
And then Gordon was grabbing at him. Alan was yelling his name and there were dusty hugs and clunking helmets.
But still the cloud…
“Virgil?”
As if summoned, his brother strode out of the haze, cogs whirring and pneumatic systems hissing, metal glinting in the sun. His goggled eyes searching until they latched onto his brothers.
Thank god.
A matter of strides and he enveloped his engineer brother in a hug, metal suit and all. “Thanks, Virg.”
His brother exhaled in a huff. “What on Earth were you thinking?” And so began the rant about worrying about a brother encased in metal when a building is falling when he wasn’t and could have been killed with a single rock. You idiot.
It went on for some time.
John smirked at him for the entire tirade.

Jester and Essek?
JESTER:
Why I like them: ksdjhf where do i BEGIN. she's that one character who was INSTANTLY my favorite; i fell in love with her voice, her demeanor, her personality, everything! but i also love her and relate to her on a deeper level--how she's seen as less mature because of her likes and hobbies, how she represses her negative emotions for fear of making other people hurt or uncomfortable, growing up isolated. also i really love her creativity and her growth from someone sheltered to someone with a bit more worldly experience who takes initiative, but in that growth she never lets go of her love for unicorns or fairy tales or the color pink or her joy and kindness and belief in the best of people! i love her so much
Why I don’t: literally nothing i can put here she's great
Favorite scene: the tarot reading on lucien that was INCREDIBLE
Favorite season/movie: i cant pick a favorite arc w her shes great all the time!!
Favorite line: "something must end for something new to begin" but also "let chaos reign"
Favorite outfit: ALL OF THEM but if we're going by purely official art then her xhorhas outfit. but if we look at my tweaks to the outfits then the winter one becomes my favorite
OTP: JESTERMAUK but i also ship her with beau, yasha, and calianna
Brotp: jester essek besties for the win also team cleric good
Head Canon: bi grayro/grayce jester my beloved
Unpopular opinion: kinda wish we got more time for jester introspection/inner conflict in the travelercon arc? it got kinda wrapped up pretty neatly and i do wish we could've gotten more conflict. i do like that her friendship w artagan was reaffirmed in the end, but idk i do wish there were some more challenges thrown her way in that regard and that would make it all the more satisfying to see her rise above it all and fight for her beliefs and win in the end. also ngl some of the shipping discourse i see is Weird and im just gonna leave it at that. also there's more to jester's humor than d!ck jokes and i kinda don't like how one-note it all started to become in the later episodes
A wish: continuing from the first point in the unpopular opinion section, would have LOVED to see the timeline where the traveler actually was taken to the feywild and jester turned to the moonweaver for help. while her faith in artagan is definitely strong in canon i feel like that kind of arc would have made her faith feel even STRONGER. also i wanna see her feywild adventures
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: please don't let her """mature""" out of her hobbies and interests let her become a little old lady who still loves unicorns and stories and pink
5 words to best describe them: chaotic, vibrant, joyful, strong, lively
My nickname for them: another canon nickname but i do call her jessie or jes sometimes
ESSEK:
Why I like them: oh golly gee ANOTHER character i relate to! gifted kid burnout syndrome my beloathed. mainly the experience of being considered a prodigy early in life and then expected to preform to that standard every time. also i LOVE essek's arc and his character development, he grew from someone cold and isolating to someone who cries over a person he didn't even know (mollymauk) and all that growth was SO satisfying to watch. easily my favorite character arc
Why I don’t: n/a
Favorite episode (scene if movie): episode 91 was SO GOOD
Favorite season/movie: despite being a Molly Stan, essek was easily my favorite part of the aeor arc! (mostly bc the molly and lucien stuff made me stressed and emotional while watching; essek was nothing but satisfying to watch) anyway i loved being able to see that growth in real time!
Favorite line: "it's not fair" AAAH the heartbreak and also i cant remember any other essek lines atm RIP
Favorite outfit: out of all the different interpretations of his mantle i do like the munchkin interpretation (aka kyotosparty's) the best!
OTP: SHADOWGAST but i do also like shadowmauk
Brotp: jester essek besties
Head Canon: short essek fave essek
Unpopular opinion: i dont think i have one?
A wish: if the m9 ever get an animated series, i hope essek gets more lines and more chances to give his input once they get to the aeor arc! i understand that matt was juggling SO MUCH at the time so i def see why it didn't happen during the actual show. also i would love to see more adventuring essek as well as an origins comic
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: that after the m9 are all gone, that he doesn't ever find happiness again and slips back into loneliness. i would like to think he's able to find more friends, more adventures, and more love while still honoring his old ones, and he's able to live a long and happy life
5 words to best describe them: complex, relatable, flawed, hopeful, ninth
My nickname for them: i dont have one for him i dont think

Revice, 36! General consensus seems to be that Revice is losing steam, and that might be the case, but I'm still having a great time.
I will say though. I follow Kinoshita-sensei on Twitter and he said that he loves Daiji. I do too! So, uh... when are you gonna show it?
Spoilers, I guess...
-Aaaah, Dai-chan at the vaccination office.
-...I sure hope Kinoshita's not trying to insinuate anything with these
-Taking out all the demons.
-Hey there, Tamaki-kun! My man's about to put his life on the line.
-Hana Natsuki's
-Hey, you didn't have to do that for Hana, what gives man?
-Oh great, we're hunkering down for an all out demon war. The commute must be terrible now.
-Ararat... that's a volcano in the far-eastern end of Turkey.
-Taking out demon
-Oh yeah, the Urban Development people who tried to kick your family business off of what I assume is your land? I forgot about those guys.
-Seems like these old folk are treating this like any regular disaster.
-Oh hi George, you're here! New roomie?
-Remember how sinister George was early in the season, with him treating Hiromi like crap and knowing basically everything? Good times, huh?
-Ah, yep. The public refuses to acknowledge how immense a threat a literal demon god is and goes about their business as usual.
-Oh hi, Vail.
-"Quit stalking my dad, asshole!"
-Man, we get so much great Sakura content, but at the cost of my boy Daiji... my monkey's paw gave me what I wanted, I guess. Sorry?
-Oh, good job Tamaki. That was a great tackle, but I don't think charging the all-powerful demon guy was a good idea.
-"Your Dad for your girlfriend's simp."
-Man.
-"THEY TOOK MY FEEBLE BOY"
-Wow, Genta. Your resolve is intense. Here I thought you being gone would've made you become underdeveloped, but the Vail shorts made me cry a fair bit.
-Speaking of underdeveloped... Oh hi, Hikaru, didn't see you there~!
-Wooooooow, they just let him get kidnapped.
-A whole GPS system!
-...wait, if Tamaki HAD the Driver on him, surely Vail would've noticed it on his person when he took him, right? Is it like super compressed or something? Did he shove it up his ass or something?
-I admire your resolve, but this plan is really stupid. And I saw Daiji's plan last episode!
-"C'mon Dad, let us take care of it.
-HIS HEART D:
-Damn.
-"Hell is coming. And that makes me a very happy chappy >:3"
-Eeeeeeew, he's pulsating.
-OOHHHHHHHHHHH THAT'S WHY THEY'RE TAKING THE DEMONS
-Fuck, dude.
-Man, even these normal-ass Gifu Juniors are giving Dai-chan the wringer.
-Ooooooh, there's Akemi-san. ...or perhaps Giffdemos, as this form of her is apparently called.
-Oh, epic, Bracchio Genomes.
-Aaaaand, right to Thunder Gale!
-Yeeeeah, get 'em Tamaki!
-Ohhhhhh, the Gifterians are upgraded.
-Free her!
-...ohhhhh, it seems to be temporary.
-"Using Gifu's power to destroy Gifu himself."
-"I'm gonna murder your sister so hard, it'll make them
-Ooooooh, there's Tamaki-kun!
-...it's not gonna work, is it?
-Smile, smile!
-HE TOOK THE VISTAMP
-AND HE'S GOT OOO POWER NOW
-"Just another toy for the catalogue."
-Aaaaaaand, there she is. Hana Natsuki, our latest Kamen Rider.
-Weekend Driver!
-Slayin' with Queen Bee once again!
-Subvert Up!
-Wow! Just believe in myself! Kamen Rider Aguilera!
-Guess she's accepting both names. Good for her, to be honest.
-I've seen a lot of division over Aguilera's suit. That division is bullshit, because this design slaps so hard. I love how it has mostly the same colors as Queen Bee Phase 3, and the metallic look is fantastic...
-Oh wow, she actually did it. She handed his ass right to him.
-"Oh epic! A second lady Rider!"
-...heeeeeeey, Tasuke-san, Masumi Hakase, you're gonna let Tamaki become Kamen Rider Julio, right?
-"I remade this for you. You were a pretty awesome Queen of Evil, but you've definitely "
-"Aguilera needs a place to call home too, doesn't she?" Oooooooooh, my heart.
-Is she dual wielding kunai? Is she some kind of wasp ninja?
-Yep, seeing her in action solidified this to me. I love this goddamn look.
-Kamen Rider Aguilera. Come get some.
-Jesus Christ, Hana, what do they feed you at Weekend?
-Yeah, that was pretty satisfying. It definitely didn't make as much sense as it probably should've, Tamaki got cucked real hard, and Daiji's really pushing the limits of "secondary" into "tertiary", but... yeah, I'm okay with this.
-Oh man, the women in this show are really killing us.
-Hey, Dai-chan? You did a good job today! Even if you're getting sidelined so hard, you're still a really cool guy, and I'd love to be there for the end of your arc. :)
-OH FUCK
-THEY WHOOPED HIS ASS
-HE NEEDS SOME MILK
-"Good job, Daiji-kun. Now they're afwaid of Gifu-sama >:3"
-Good job, Hana-chan! Tamaki-kun too~!
-Let. (*clap*) Tamaki. (*clap*) Be. (*clap*) Strong. (*clap*)
-"I'm dying. Please. Follow me for your Vistamp treatment. I promise I won't die on the way in."
-Yep, there it is. The Queen Bee. Just two left until... presumably armageddon.
-Save Akemi-san!
-Man... I sure hope Kagerou comes back soon, I wanna see Dai-chan go apeshit to protect all of humanity. That'd make aaaall of this somewhat worth it.
-...hopefully Hiromi comes back in due time too.

Nsfw headcanons for the Obey Me boys with a dom reader?
I’m so gonna regret this, but, as I had to do some...Educating (reading online ofc)...I hope this is actually okay and that I didn’t disappoint!
I will be using the “ Asmo Time “ (hope it’s not already taken or something) for any NSFW writing, I guess :D
Also, sorry for not actually writing for everyone, but rn I can’t really stand Belphegor, and I have a hard time coming up with something different for Beel, despite liking him a lot =/
So...Without further writing...
NSFW UNDER THE CUT!
----
Lucifer
Normally, this guy wouldn’t, for the hell of it, let you dom, because obviously...He is THE Sadistic Dom Top!
But today is your birthday, your once in a lifetime opportunity, your lucky day to experience what’s it like to have Lucifer, the Avatar of Pride, look up at you with lust and need in his eyes, squirming so much in hope of release and biting his lip to stop his moans and will to beg, because of his pride not to step so low, so much that he draws blood unintentionally.
You tie his hands apart on the bed post, blindfold him, take his pants off and unbutton his shirt, all while talking in such a firm yet alluring voice that he almost doesn’t recognise you.
His dick is up before you even get to touch his skin.
You kept a feather from his wings from some time ago, and now it’s the perfect opportunity to tease him.
You softly trace his neck, down to his chest, and to his abdomen, until you reach the line of his boxers, where you just let the trail just barely touch his, and you can see his body arching slightly as it followed the feather, and a soft growl erupts from his throat.
“What is it, darling~? Do you want me to touch you that badly? Why, then, you’ll just have to ask me oh so very nicely for it, don’t you think~? Do you deserve to be touched by me, I wonder?” you tease him SO much, because honestly, he deserves every little bit of it.
You trace his lips with your thumb, and then lift up his chin and make your lips barely brush his, as you say “You don’t get to cum unless I say so, okay, darling? Otherwise...There will be consequences.”
“You will have a lot to pay after this day is over, MC.” he threatens, but you slap his face, before you put your hand on his throat. “Did I allow you to speak, Lucifer? No? That’s what I thought. Now, now, how to punish you, I wonder...” you would giggle darkly as you get out his riding crop and start tracing his chest and abdomen, until you hit the inner side of his thigh, making him squirm and barely hold in a groan of pleasure, as blood started to come out of his lip.
You finally take off his boxers, letting his erection stand tall, and you straddle his waist, grinding yourself on it, letting your wetness drive him crazy, as you roam your hand up and down his body, occasionally touching his erogenous zones, biting his neck, choking him or making him suck on your fingers, and in the end it was all so much, that he came without realising, not able to hold in his moan anymore.
You merely hummed in amusement, wiping away the cum and tutting in disappointment as you take off his blindfold and look at him with a mock-upset look.
“What a naughty boy you’ve been...Disobeying your Mistress...Tsk tsk, guess you really need a great dose of discipline.” you put his dick inside you as you leaned in and started biting and tugging at his bottom lip, licking away all the blood, before sitting tall again, tracing your tongue over your lips with an amused face. “Your blood is really sweet, Lucifer.”
Your ride him dangerously slow, teasing him with more dirty and teasing words, until you’ve had enough and wanted to cum yourself, and you changed the pace, touching yourself, being on display, enjoying the torture that he can’t touch you.
This goes on for the rest of the right...Until midnight comes and your birthday is no more, and his smirk is so huge and evil, knowing that you’re really gonna regret (and enjoy) your little day of indulging in your fantasies.
---
Mammon
Mammon is already a switch very close to a Big Bottom Energy, so it’s really not all that difficult for you to take the reigns and dominate him, he will really enjoy it anyways.
He’s normally one for very soft and gentle love-making, not exactly into the whole inflicting pain thing, mostly wanting to having HIS MC close to him, feeling your body touching his and all that, but once in a while, he doesn’t mind letting you have your fun with him, whatever it is that you want.
Honestly, if you deprive him the possibility of touching you, he’s gonna be so whiny and pouty, so you better punish him so he will stop being such a baby.
Choke him, tie him up, talk filth to him, take his hands and suck on his fingers while straddling his waist and grinding on his erection through the fabric of his boxers, tease him while you guide his hands up and down your own body, you name it, he will do anything you want, especially if it pleases you.
But...Seeing you suck on his fingers with that expression of lust in your eyes, while you veeeery slowly rock your bottom part back and forth...
He’s gonna be SO loud, whining, panting, moaning your name, you think the whole Devildom will know that you’re the one that’s making him such a mess under you.
“Mammon, dear, you should be more quiet, or else the whole house is gonna hear you. We wouldn’t want Lucifer barging in...Or would you...~?...Oh, I should shut you up myself.” your devilish grin could put even Lucifer in his place.
You face sit him, letting him eat you out until you’ve reached your orgasm, all while guiding his hands where you wanted, and making him lick you clean, because he’s a real good boy.
“What a good boy, Mammon, I think you’ve earned a little prize for today. Do you want it, Mammon? Tell me what you want.” you grin as you tease him even more, making him whimper, his eyes glistering with tears from the teasing.
“P-Please let me cum, M-Mistress!” he’d moan as you already put his dick in you and started bouncing up and down, rewarding the both of you.
---
Leviathan
HUGE SUB ENERGY!!!
You’re his Mistress and he will obey your every need, every wish, anything, with no protest, except his burning face, poor dear.
He is okay with topping and bottoming, but now you want to tease him by only allowing him to do what you say, with no exception.
“Come on, Levi, take off my clothes.” , “Let me guide your hands, Levi. You need me for even that.” , “Be a good boy and make me cum. If you do, I may think of letting you too, today.”
Hearing you speak like that will get him so eager to be the good boy you keep praising him that he is.
Will finger you while licking and sucking at your clit, wanting to put off the best performance he can, doing all the filth that he’s seen in his hentais, wanting to hear more praise, and your moans and telling him to go on, the tugging on his hair...
He’s so into it that he almost forgets about how painful his erection actually is, especially covered by his boxers and pants.
After he makes you cum, you tell him to lay down and you take off his clothes, tie his hands to the bed post, putting your hand around his shaft and slowly pumping up and down, holding eye contact and enjoying every little moan, whimper, groan and twitch of his body.
When you start licking the tip, you can already feel the salty taste of precum - which each lick, each provocative smirk, graze of your teeth against his sensitive skin and veins, with each moan you let out, he’s so close...
But you don’t let him.
You move away from him, leaving him a panting and begging mess, almost crying, saying how it’s not fair what you’re doing...But how could you not edge such a cute boy? Especially when he can’t touch himself?
So you take your phone and put on an episode of TSL, while you sit comfortably on his chest, not letting him watch it, only hear, and he’s so bratty, it’s adorable.
When you’ve had enough fun teasing him, you take off the restraints and tell him to get on top, in the “Glowing Triangle” position, which is basically teasing him that he’s in control, but you’re the one who controls the thrusts and speed of it.
And what better way to continue teasing him with touches down his spine, pinching nipples and leaving love bites all over his body than this one~?
---
Satan
It was during the Butler event, where he kept calling you Mistress and he made it a personal competition to be the best Butler from the 7 brothers, but even so, it was obvious he’d attend to your every need without a second thought.
You, however, decided to mess with him quite a lot, so while he brought you some tea and you took a sip from it, making sure it’s not too hot, you told him to kneel down in front of you, order to which he immediately submitted, and you poured the tea from your thigh down to your ankle, with a mock-gasp.
“Oh no, I spilled the tea, how awfully clumsy of me! Satan, would you be a dear and clean up this mess for me~?” you lean back in the seat of the armchair you were sitting in, and raised your leg up, leaning your head on your hand, looking down at him with a condescending expression.
“Certainly, My Lady. I live to serve My Lady, so My Mistress’ words are my command.” he replies with a smug smile, as he started kissing, licking and leaving soft love bites from your foot, all the way up to your inner thigh, which he put on his shoulder, and looked at you with an obviously fake expression
“What else would My Mistress want me to do for her?” he asked, definitely enjoying this as much as you did.
He’s a God at eating you our and driving you crazy, and he obviously enjoyed pleasuring you so much, now being the perfect opportunity to see you in all the perfect light, a dominating Goddess, the only one who could ever tell him what to do.
When you’re done with that, pull on his hair until he’s to your eye level, pin him down on the armchair and start leaving love bites, from his jawline, to his neck, down to the chest, abdomen, teasing him just as you get to his dick.
Give the tip of his erection a kiss, a lick, let it wet, and then blow on it, and watch the way Satan grits his teeth in desperation, feeling exposed and unable to take away this feeling of need.
“Have you been a good slave, Satan?” you ask, as he licks his lips in anticipation.
“Yes, Mistress, I would sure hope so.” he asks, doing his best not to break character, as he’d just want to grab you and fuck you on the spot, but his ego doesn’t let him.
Lucky him, you were more merciful today, and with a sly smirk on your face, you take him in so fast that his snaps his head back with a groan, and your fast pace is so torturous yet so good that he finds himself lost in another world, and his sweet release is the best he’s ever had.
---
Asmodeus
He doesn’t care if you’re a dom or a sub, a top or a bottom, he just wants to enjoy himself and you, so who cares? Have fun, girl, go all in, do all your fantasies, he’s the perfect man to experience them with!
Put him on a leash and tell him to be a little obedient slave, and he’s already a mess below you.
He’ll be so needy and would beg all the time for you to touch him and do what you want with him, to fuck him, to punish him, to make him forget his name and the world around him.
He’s not the Avatar of Lust after all, correct~?
“Aww, Asmo, look at you. You look so good with that collar around your neck, and you staying on your knees at my feet...I might actually think of having you wear that every day from now on, just so you don’t forget who you belong to.” you threaten with a sweet smile, as you grab his collar and pull him to your eye level.
You’d have had him on a chastity belt for just a few days, and now that you took it off, he was finally feeling better, so eager for you to touch and punish him in any way (as long as you don’t do anything to his precious face)
Whip him as much as you like, bring the riding crop, get the hitachi wand and edge him, leave bite marks all over his body, all while making sure he doesn’t touch you or himself, otherwise he’s gonna just suffer even more.
He’ll moan and scream out your name even louder than Mammon, he has literally no shame or inhibitions, he just wants to let himself get lost in pleasure and emotion, and knowing it’s you who’s doing everything to him...Even hotter.
Edge him as many times as you feel like, only letting him cum after he’s done as much begging as you want, and when he’s crying from the need for release, and after that, he’ll feel like on Cloud 9, so happy that he’s lost his mind.
Obviously, he’s going to return the favour some day, but for now, he loves being your slave and seeing you so full of confidence, enjoying yourself as you’re using him to feel pleasure.

Street Dance of China, Season 4, Episode 4
- I’ve had issues with Tumblr not saving my posts again v.v I’ll just save often and hope that that does the trick.
- Latrice and Ibuki reenacting HB’s performance haha. From the behind the scenes clips I’ve seen, Ibuki does speak English, so I like to think they are now friends :D
- Hilty & Bosch have known each other since they were six years old T_T That’s cuuuute. Apparently they don’t get into arguments a lot because they always keep a distance between them XD Good strategy.
- San’er’s performance was great! He definitely brings the entertainment in his creativity (including incorporating a story line), but he doesn’t forget about the technical parts of dancing (the popping).
- Bouboo cheering on Rochka when he challenged Jianyan :P
- This spinning move he did was neat
- 不咋地 is going to be the recurring inside joke between Yibo, Rochka, and Bouboo ^^;;
- Yixing singing the SDOC theme song again XD With his super low energy voice XD
- Yibo was tipping the bench which was why Yixing and Henry were like, rocking back and forth at the same pace lol.
- Admittedly George vs. C-Lil was kind of rough. George tried to include Chinese elements in his performance, but he was injured, so he couldn’t really showcase them, and the latter part of his performance became just a typical contemporary dance. C-Lil’s performance was alright, but I think the judges were expecting something more impressive. While break dancing is very impressive to watch, I am starting to see the limitations of it, because if a dancer is not impressive, they are just kind of mediocre. George and C-Lil weren’t able to bring anything superbly impressive, which I think it was difficult for them to vote. Yibo abstained, and C-Lil got two votes, so C-Lil advanced.
- Zyko was incredible as always. It fascinates me how he’s mostly performed with these ballad type songs that don’t really have a beat. Also his flexibility is insane. I’m glad he got through with four votes because we need to see him more.
- I really liked Chika’s performance! I feel like women’s dancing is sometimes a bit limited in the mainstream because people just expect them to look sexy. It isn’t as much the case on this show because all of the ladies on this show are dancers and not idols or pop stars. But anyway, I just love seeing women dance without their bodies being sexualized. Chika’s dance showcased not only control over her body, but POWER. I loved her big movements. Compare the power that she shows vs. the power that say, Ibuki shows. Ibuki is a much smaller lady and it shows in her proportions, so how she expresses power looks different from how Chika expresses power, and Chika’s is the sort of power that I’ve really looked forward to seeing.
- Rochka fanboys over everybody, I love it. Keep spreading the love, dude.
- Ok, Xiaoji’s performance was pretty entertaining. I am not kidding when I say my jaw dropped, at the same time that all the captains went OH SNAP. But this guy definitely has charisma and stage presence. His confidence made up for his lack of ability to improvise XD I was CACKLING when this guy thought the song was done and Yibo was like “bro there’s more” and Xiaoji had to come up with something to end it off lol. I wouldn’t say his challenge was as good as Xiaohai’s, mostly because he hadn’t memorized the music like Xiaohai did. In terms of technical stuff, his performance did seem more impressive than Lai Wei’er’s, but he also did less “stuff” (like, there were a lot of pauses in his dance probably because he didn’t now the music). But Xiaoji’s was definitely more entertaining, though that may just be because of who he is and not his dancing. (By the way, Xiaoji’s real name is 林森. I thought the name 林木森 was just a joke because of how much wood was in it. I never guessed that someone would name their kid 林森 X’D Guess his 八字 indicated that he had a weakness in wood or something lol)
- Have some laughing captains, it’s good for the soul.
- Acky-san acknowledged that he’s probably not going to beat the younger dancers in terms of technique, so what he brought instead was style. The “robot” style of popping is pretty old, but no one else has done it in this competition probably because it’s so old school, and he definitely delivered in a way that only he could.
- Henry singing Frere Jacques with the French contingent X’D
- Thoughts on Han Yu vs. Boris. I can imagine what Han Yu was going for in his original performance, but I don’t think it worked. I don’t have the vocabulary to explain it, but basically the way his performance was choreographed just didn’t really impress. As Yibo mentioned, Boris was impressive in his dance to Han Yu’s music, but his dancing didn’t suit the song as much as Han Yu’s did. So the original dance + challenge was a matter of impressiveness vs. whether the dancing suited the music. Han Yu shone in the battle. I think he seemed a lot more impressive when back in a hip hop sort of groove, music that has a lot of major beats, compared to the piano music that was less grand an epic. As for Boris, I think that seeing a few of his performances in succession showed that his toolbox is a little limited in comparison to Han Yu. It hate to see Boris go because I loved his battle against Zyko but alas. I also wanted him to stay because he’s one of the few non-Chinese contestants who speak Mandarin relatively well. He had no issues speaking in Mandarin with most of the Chinese people on set. The ending was hilarious, when he was asked whether he had any last words, and Boris was like “well, I’m literally going to see these guys in two seconds when I’m back in the audience, I’m not dying” lmao.
- I don’t know how I feel about how the show has decided to deal with the last 29 contestants, of which three would be chosen to join the 49 dancers advancing. They’re competing fairly with the other contestants that haven’t performed yet, but they’re at a disadvantage compared to the previous contestants that were judged individually. For example, what if the fourth best dancer was better than a dancer that had already entered the 49? It would only be fair if the judges were allowed to take out people from the 46 contestants that had passed. It would’ve been a bigger problem if there were still a lot of big names to go though. Most of the best dancers have already secured a spot for themselves, so I think that’s why I’m not like, the most perturbed.
- I was low key waiting for Xiao Jie’s performance because his audition performance during episode 1 was so amusing. I thought his individual performance was fun! He managed to add some creativity and story telling (Chinese dude getting drunk) but also showcase some of his specialty skills (locking).
- I forgot to mention this before, but it amuses me that so the editing team will so diligently put in a “don’t try this at home” warning message whenever a dancer does a dangerous move haha.
- So the captains are doing a dance battle for the reborn event, but I’m not really sure how this is all gonna work. I’m digging Yixing’s look for the battle btw.
- Anyway, pre-battle hugs for all.
- KRUMPMASTER. Also I think he did some of the routine that he did back in Season 3.
- Not gonna lie, I wasn’t super impressed with Han Geng’s first dance but his second dance was pretty hype.
- Lol Yibo feels most comfortable challenging Yixing during his battles. He did move where he dropped onto his back right after Yixing did it (i.e. being like you can do it but I can do it better). Based on what I saw of season 3, I think Yibo would call out Yixing in his performances then too.
- Yixing was definitely heavy on the krump side, though I actually thought his first performance was really interesting because there was barely any krump in that one. He mostly stuck to other elements. As we got through the other rounds, he became more krump heavy, and I think he lost a bit in terms of variety there.
- The thing about Han Geng is that he’s no longer as athletic, so he relies more on power and control, but he needs to make sure he does the right moves that showcase that.
- I think Yibo impressed me the most. He had a lot of variety in his arsenal and he was very entertaining. He is also quite athletic, so as long as he can imagine it, I think he can do it haha.
- As others mentioned, Henry was extremely creative. He used a lot of dance moves to show a certain action, like tugging a rope or playing pool and such.
- Anyway, big hugs.
- Baby needs a nap.
- Yibo won the most points in the four rounds of the battle. This hug with Han Geng is uwu. Anyway, Tony Gogo mentioned that Yibo interpreted the music very well.
- Of course, Tony Gogo as well as the Gogo brothers praised Yixing for his krumping energy
- Philip said that Han Geng had a really good ear, and that was how he was able to take advantage of the best moments to unleash certain dances.
- The five contestants that were saved were A-wei, Boris, George, JC Jun, and Kelo & Uwa. I definitely think the editors purposely showed us more clips of them so that we’d grow attached lol. The only one of these five that I don’t quite remember is A-wei though. Anyway, very pleased that Boris is back haha.
- Pouty boi
- Yibo, Henry, Han Geng, and Ibuki getting really into 煞科 lol.
- I think next episode is going to have some team performances, which I think will be fun. Some of these teams are STACKED.
- Previews for Hot pot!
- They were talking about songs they listened to in their childhood. Han Geng started singing a song about an Office Black Cat? XD I’m guessing it’s a cartoon haha. Yibo listened to Leehom Wang and Jay Chou. Henry mentioned that he looked up to Leehom because he was also an overseas Chinese, plus he played a lot of instruments (just like Henry). As expected, Yixing looked up to Jay Chou (after all, Jay Chou was one of the earliest artists to popularize using Chinese elements in pop songs). Yixing said he also liked Leehom Wang, JJ Lin, and Khalil Fong (I legit have not heard the name 方大同 in a long time so that took me by surprise lol).
- Yibo mentioned Li Ronghao and Yixing was like OH WAIT YEAH HIM TOO. We know from Idol Producer that Yixing and Li Ronghao are bros haha. The captain says “不榮藝 組合” which pronounced the same as “不容易 組合” which is something like “unlikely duo,” except the the 榮 is from Li Ronghao’s name and the 藝 is from Zhang Yixing’s name lol.
- The robot spilled all the tea! Bad bot!
- I think they later played a listening game that Henry kept losing? lol

Hard to Love - Rafe Cameron
Description: Pushing away people came easy to you. You pushed away your friends when they urged you to get out more and you pushed away your family when they urged you to eat more. You felt like a burden to everyone and you didn’t want that. You were hard to love with your harsh attitude and pickiness. Once Rafe Cameron, your new friend and classmate, tries to convince you to give him a chance, you wonder what it would mean to be a girlfriend-- someone who gives love and receives it... you wonder: are you even capable of being loved?
so this is sort of a continuation of High Maintenance, but also can be read as a standalone? I thought it would be interesting to explore the romantic relationship that didn’t get to develop in that fic ... so here ya go! :D
--------
Being your friend was hard, but being your boyfriend was much harder (not that you had one yet, just for future reference).
Being your friend was hard because you cancelled plans last minute because of chronic pain/aching or because you were going through a depressive episode that made you unable to socialize.
No one talks about the mental side of physical pain.
Trust me, you wouldn’t be nice either if you were hungry half of the day and in pain the other half.
You didn’t want your diet to define you, yet it was like you revolved your entire life around your meal times.
You pushed your friends away who wouldn’t do enough research on your condition. You obviously didn’t expect them to look up everything about it, but when they gave you food you couldn’t eat or asked you to go on hikes you couldn’t trek without feeling dizzy (or even fainting), you couldn’t help but distance yourself.
You didn’t want to share all your negativity with them; they didn’t deserve that.
You were used to being the rock of your group; not exactly the mom friend, but the happy, funny friend everyone went to for a laugh or to have fun. You weren’t the one with problems. You didn’t get to be that person.
You didn’t want to be that person.
“I’m a fucking idiot!” You shouted at no one in particular.
“We know!”
You glared at the girl standing in the hallway who happened to be your best friend and your house mate. You and 3 other girls decided to stay in apartment together for your freshman year and you never regretted your decision. You could never live in the dorms with people making noise all day and night.
You were already agitated all the time.
“Go away, Ames.”
The girl sighed.
“I made some rice krispies. Do you want some?”
Yes.
“No. I’m not hungry.”
That was a lie.
“Ok, well then why are you so upset today?”
You paused, wondering if you should confide in her. Despite you guys being best friends, you never truly felt like you could confide in anyone. It was a fucking miracle that you spilled so much to Rafe Cameron, a boy you never thought would become one of your best friends. You honestly thought he would leave you the second you got off that wooden bench, yet you two hang out all the time.
You decided to give her a lighthearted version of what you were feeling.
“I’m not it’s just... random question: am I high maintenance?” You asked finally.
The girl snorted.
“Yeah, everyone knows that.”
Your heart sank. You were starting to hate that joke. You knew you had a lot of dietary restrictions and people had to work around what you ate, and before you didn’t mind that, but now you hated when people did that for you.
You just wanted people to stop asking you out to eat or asking you to hang out. You just wanted people to leave you alone.
“Fuck you.” You said laughing, it was fake. But she didn’t need to know that.
“Whatever, is that all you wanted to ask?”
“Nope, I wanted to ask are you still having your bachorlette party next Saturday?”
“Yup, you better be there! No ditching me for whoever old lady author you wanted to see.”
You bristled at her harsh tone and flinched when she slammed your door shut so that you couldn’t argue with her.
You heard her soft footsteps fade away which allowed you to slip back into your negative feelings.
All you could think about is that if your best friend didn’t even want to deal with you or fully understand you, how could anyone else?
---------
“Hello~ Earth to y/n?”
A black line skitted across your face, snapping you out of your trance. You swatted at the pencil floating in front of your face with an angry look.
You were currently in the library, working hard on your essay that seemed like it would never end.
“What do you want?” You snapped.
You were in the middle of focusing your attention on a small dot at the back of the room. You did this to try to take your attention off of the discomfort in your stomach. You wouldn’t exactly call it pain, but it didn’t feel great.
The poor boy’s eyes drooped at your anger.
“Um, sorry you just were spacing out.”
“Well, don’t interrupt my space outs.”
“Got it.”
Why were you being so mean? You never were like this before you got diagnosed. You were so irritable all the time and felt anger build up in you faster than expected.
It wasn’t fair to the boy sitting across from you.
Rafe Cameron.
The boy was dedicated, you could give him that.
You didn’t expect much from the obviously Southern boy who sat next to you in a Shakespeare class. You felt like you were sitting on pins and needles until Rafe started talking to you; you didn’t know why you took a male-dominant class. You weren’t used to talking to guys so often, but you wanted to push yourself. Get out of your comfort zone you embraced so much in high school.
After he apologized for being a dick about eating standards, you easily started to fall for him a bit more.
But that didn’t matter.
His feelings wouldn’t last.
They never did.
“Um, are you okay?” Rafe finally said. You wanted to snap at him once again, but when you saw his concerned blue eyes, you lost your bite.
You forced a smile. “I’m fine, just a bit tired.” If you had a nickel for every time you gave that excuse, you’d be a billionaire.
“Oh, then we should finish here.”
“No!”
You said abruptly. He lifted a brow.
“No?”
When he saw your face turn a soft pink color, his eyes lit up and he softly bit his lip. He knew what he did to you.
“Um... no, it’s ok. I can still study. I’m ... I’m mostly just upset because I wanted to go to this book signing that’s like a week from now, but I have to go to my friend’s bachelorette party. I really love this author, but I won’t get to see her and she rarely goes on tour... But it’s fine, I’ll get over it and studying helps me keep my mind off things.” You shrugged.
Yes, your friends were getting married that young. You simultaneously loved and hated your friends. You seemed to always be dropping things you loved for them, but you knew they wouldn’t do the same for you.
Your friends were great to live with, harder to be friends with. Plus, two were avid bakers and another was an aspiring chef. You hated all of the temptations of their baked goods.
He laughed at your nerdy confession which rubbed you the wrong way. He stopped laughing when he saw your dark expression.
“Sorry, I was only laughing because I totally get that. There are some authors that just leave an impact on you and you would die to meet them. And plus, those parties are lame. All they do is drink and drink and drink, which you can’t do because it’s not on the low fodmap diet.”
Well, boy definitely did his research.
“Exactly! Finally, someone who understands.” You turned your head away so he wouldn’t see you blush-- it wasn’t because you were shy, but it always happened when you got excited about something.
He nodded and saw your head wobble. A sharp pain fluttered through your head. You probably needed to eat something.
“Are you... hungry?” The boy said hesitantly.
This got you in the mood to be mean again.
“No, I’ll tell you when I get hungry, Rafe.”
The bite in his words made him move away from you. You hated this. You wanted someone to comfort you, but you pushed everyone away.
Self-sabotage was your middle name.
--------
You felt a warm hand softly tap your shoulder.
“Library closes in less than 10 minutes.” Rafe whispered to you.
Shit, I fell asleep.
You lifted your head and saw the once full library empty out.
“Shit. I fell asleep.” You said your thoughts.
Rafe chuckled. God, you loved his laugh so much.
“Yeah, I know. You look cute when you sleep.”
You smiled, but can’t believe you fell asleep in public. You weren’t the type to let your guard down so easily. When did you get this tired? When did you become this weak?
You felt your stomach rumble silently, signaling your hunger.
“Um, do you wanna get out of here and get some food?”
You began to say no, but he stopped you.
“Ok, let me ask that once again, do you want to get out of here and I can cook you food?”
You felt anxiety build up in your chest. You never trusted other people to cook for you. You had this irrational fear that people would deliberately try to sabotage your meals, but truly people just didn’t know what you can and can’t eat.
“Uh... you know.”
“Yes, I know, strict diet. I’ll look it all up to be safe.”
You were going to say no, but you wanted this so badly. You just wanted to hang out with a really cute and nice guy without feeling abnormal. It was almost 11pm, but you weren’t going to pass up the chance to hang out with him.
“Ok, take me to your place.”
-------
His apartment was dark and organized. You tried not to laugh at the display of books on the ground... you definitely needed to get him a bookshelf.
“Do the books feel better on the ground or something?” You teased.
“Yup, they need their sleep too.”
He nudged you on the shoulder to let you know he was joking.
“Oh, and watch the hiking supplies. I went last weekend and haven’t had time to clean it up since I’m going on Sunday again.”
Hiking...
“You like to hike?”
The boy nodded, his face brightening. “Yup, I’m an outdoorsy kind of guy. Love hiking, going to the beach, sports, all that jazz.”
You nodded, not relating to any of that.
You looked around, but realized there were only two doors, and one leading to the bathroom.
“Oh, you live alone?”
You fiddled with the hem of your shirt nervously.
“Yeah... is that ok?” He asked softly.
Yes, yes, it’s more than ok.
“Of course! It’s just I don’t know many sophomores who live alone.”
What you meant to say is you didn’t know many sophomores who could afford to live alone. JJ always joked about Rafe being rich, but you weren’t aware of the extent of his wallet.
He chuckled. “Yeah well, it’s easier to focus on my studies this way. No distractions.”
You nodded. You would live alone if you could afford it.
“Got it. Perfect for the ladies too, right?” You winked.
Rafe choke on air. You enjoyed flustering the usually confident Mr. Cameron.
“God, um, I don’t know how to respond to that.”
You shrugged. “Can’t deny the facts.”
He gave you a gentle look. “Y/n, you’re the first girl I’ve had in here since my last girlfriend.” Your jaw dropped.
“Really? You haven’t had a single girl in here for... a month?”
“Unless you count my little sister, then yup.”
“How does a guy as hot as you not bring a single lady friend here for over a month?” He let out a strangled laugh.
“You think I’m hot?”
“I know you’re hot. And you know you’re hot.”
The pink blush that formed on his face made you want to run over and kiss his cheeks.
But friends didn’t do that.
“Well, I guess... I guess I’ve been waiting for the special girl to come along.”
He gave you a look you couldn’t quite decipher.
“Yes, I’m the most special girl in your life, right?” You teased, trying to be nonchalant about the tension in the room.
He just smiled at you.
“So! What are you cooking?” You said, changing the subject.
This distracted him. “Well, I have leftovers from yesterday... I have rice noodles with chicken broth--”
“Um, I can’t eat pre-made chicken broth.” You interrupted before he could get too excited. Thankfully, you hadn’t gotten your hopes up about eating much at his place. People could rarely accommodate to your needs.
“Oh don’t worry, I made the chicken stock last night with... a real chicken. So it’s not out of a box.” He opened his fridge and you saw a cooked chicken that was sitting there. “See?”
You paused and evaluated the situation.
“So... you made chicken pho?” You said blankly.
He blushed. “Yeah, yeah I did.”
You thought back to that night. That night when you confessed to him your deepest and insecurities.
You yelled at him about how you basically only ate Asian food exclusively.
“Did... Rafe... Ok, if I didn’t know any better, I would say that you expected me to come over today. Unless you just happened to have IBS friendly food.”
You were joking, well half-joking. You guys always met on Thursday nights to study, so he knew you would be hanging out then. You hated the excitement and fondness filling in your chest; it would be only a matter of time before you pushed him away. Or until he left. Whichever came first.
His face was red now. “Um, I may have anticipated it.”
Oh God, your heart was so full right now. You didn’t even want the food anymore, you just wanted him.
But he had put great effort into this. You had to eat it.
“Thank you.” You whispered.
He shrugged off your words. “It’s no biggie, I know I see you Thursdays and we always study pretty late.”
You set the table while he dipped the noodles in water to cook them. He made two bowls, one being larger than the other. He remembered that you rarely ate big meals.
As soon as he set your food down, you realized he had to watch you eat. And you had to make conversation while eating. You hated talking and eating.
And you got a lot of gas while you ate. Shit. This was a bad idea.
You pushed those thoughts aside and took a sip of the soup.
It was amazing.
“This is really good.”
He smiled widely. “Thanks, I tried my best.”
Thankfully, you didn’t have to talk much while you ate. The TV served as a good distraction to that. When you finished your bowl, you waited for the pain to hit you. You felt your stomach gurgle around and you clenched your fists to avoid the pain.
You had good and bad stomach days. Some days you could go the whole day without feeling any pain, but then you had days where you ate any food and felt a mild discomfort and had to lay in bed.
You felt a mild discomfort, but it faded quickly enough. Thank God, a good stomach day.
After you both finished eating, Drew put both the bowls in the sink. You tried to do the dishes, but he wouldn’t let you.
“Thanks for the meal again.” You said, anxious to leave.
It wasn’t eating that was the worst part of IBS, it was the anxiety afterwards. You were always nervous that your stomach would flare up hours after you eating, which it sometimes did if you ate something not IBS friendly.
“You’re always welcome here.”
You checked your phone. “Um, it’s getting late. I should go.” You turned to leave, but he caught your wrist softly.
“Wait, y/n.”
You stopped and turned to face him. He looked nervous as he was still holding your hand gently.
“Yeah?” You tried to say casually, but you were now extremely anxious for a reason besides food.
He let go of your wrist to brush his fingers through his hair. You loved his messy hair.
“Um, ok, well... ok I’m just gonna say it.”
“Say it then.” You said out of habit. He glared at you, but you knew he didn’t mean it.
“Fine, well, you’re... you’re really fun to hang out with. Do you want to... go out with me sometime?”
“We go out together all the time.” You said stupidly.
He let out a strangled laugh. “Yeah but... like ... as a date.”
Your heart stopped.
“A date.”
“Yes, a date, if you want.”
A date? What could you both possible do on a date? You hated eating at restaurants, you can’t go hiking or backpacking because who knew when your symptoms would pop in and you were stuck on a mountain with no bathrooms and nowhere to sit. Not to mention, you didn’t eat much so you got lightheaded easily. You weren’t compatible. You would just be a burden to him.
“y/n?” You almost forgot you were in the middle of a conversation.
You looked up at his pretty blue eyes that were full of hope. You couldn’t do this to him. You couldn’t hold him back like that.
“I... I’m sorry, Rafe... I can’t.” His face fell. “You’re an awesome guy, I swear to God you’re the best guy I’ve ever met. But... you just... we’re just... we’re just different.”
That was a cop out answer and you knew it.
“Different.” He echoed.
You nodded.
He paused, like he was wondering whether to keep talking to you or just kick you out. You wouldn’t blame him if he chose the latter.
He then laughed bitterly.
“That’s bullshit, y/n and you know it.”
His harsh answer stunned you.
“What are you talking about?” You bristled. Now you were irritated.
“Oh, c’mon, you know I like you, and I know you like me. You can’t ignore what we have.”
“We’re just friends, Rafe. Just friends.”
“But I want more.” He said sadly.
You were on the brink of tears too.
“I do too.” You blurt.
“Then why-”
“Because Rafe! You want to go out and do things. You want to treat your girlfriend like a princess-- you’ve said that to me before. And you just can’t do that for me because it’s not possible.
He scoffed. “What do you mean by that? You think you’re undeserving of love? Are you trying to say ‘it’s not you, it’s me’?” He was angry, and he had a right to be. You were running him in circles and you felt bad.
“That’s not it! I just--” You felt your legs becoming weak, you could never stand for too long, especially in a heated conversation like this.
“Y/n? Do you need to sit down?”
You nodded as he was already guiding you to his couch.
“Finish what you were saying earlier.” He said softly. God, you hated how kind he was to you even during an argument. You were trying to push him away!
“Right, well, I don’t think I’m undeserving of love, but it’s too hard to love me.”
“What does that even mean?”
“It means, you don’t know how to love me! You can’t take me on dates-- I hate eating at restaurants which is a normal date, so you can cross that off your list of fancy dinners or whatever. I can’t go hiking because what if my stomach starts to hurt on the mountain? And you just fucking saw me getting woozy standing and talking for you too long while arguing. I’ll just be a burden to you.”
He grabbed my hands and forced me to look at him.
“Listen to me. You will never, ever, be a burden to me. Got that?”
His voice was low and pained, like it hurt him for you to think about yourself like that. You didn’t need his pity so you pulled away from his hands.
“You don’t deserve someone who can’t do all the things you love.”
“Relationships are all about compromise, y/n. I can do those things with my friends.”
You shook your head.
“Rafe, you’re a great guy. Too good if I might add. And I’m so picky about everything. When I’m mad at you one day and you want to make it up to me, you can’t buy me chocolates or ice cream or whatever. For anniversaries, you can’t just take me out to a fancy restaurant. There might be a day where you run out of tricks and you’ll realize how hard it is to love me.” You laughed bitterly.
“I can learn what makes you feel good. I can learn how to love you--”
“You can’t learn how to love me! I don’t even know how to love myself!” You shouted.
A deafening silence washed over the room.
I don’t even know how to love myself.
The honesty in your own answer made you cry.
How could anyone love you when didn’t even know how to love yourself? You didn’t even know how to make yourself happy. You didn’t know how to spoil yourself. You lived your life just to get by.
How sad.
“I’m sorry Rafe, I just can’t do this.”
This time, he just nodded.
He’d already given up.
----------
Around two weeks had gone by since Rafe asked you out and you embarrassed yourself. You had never been the type to be so negative or so insecure. You hated what you had become.
You hated how you felt some sort of relief when Rafe let you go. He grabbed you an uber and you went home.
You both were ignoring the obvious conversation that needed to happen, but it was better this way. You were back to being the chatty girl in his English class and he was back to being the guy who laughed at all of your jokes. Normal. Everything was back to normal.
“Sup, y/n, how’s it goin’?”
You tried not to look surprised as JJ Maybank said hi to you.
You two weren’t exactly friends, but you were friendly to one another. Yes, he could be a dick sometimes, but he was clueless about it.
“Oh hey, it’s going good so far. How about you?”
“He and his ‘girlfriend’ got into a fight yesterday and needs advice.” Pope blurted. You tried not to laugh at the bluntness of his friend.
JJ hit the boy. “Dude!”
“Hey, she was going to figure it out soon enough. You can’t shut up about it.” Their banter was always fun to watch.
“What are you guys talking about?” Rafe asked when he sat down.
“JJ got into a fight with his ‘girlfriend’”. You made sure to use the same air quotes like Pope.
“Yes, thank you for embarrassing me further.” You shrugged.
“It’s not like Rafe knows her.”
JJ sighed and adjusted his hat to hide his tired face.
You grew soft on the poor guy. “What kind of advice do you need, JJ?”
JJ looked at you with sad eyes, but hopped right into his story.
“Well, so this girl I’m into, she’s this big city girl. Grew up in Los Angeles, and you know me, I grew up in a small town in Alaska. We’re just so... different. She likes doing all this city girl stuff like going to the malls and just walking around a crowded town which is so different from me who didn’t even have a big mall where I was at and you could walk miles without running into another person.
“I just don’t know how to keep up with her all the time... and she’s rich so she has to go to these fancy events. She told me I had to dress up if I wanted to meet her parents.
“And she doesn’t like to be on the water ‘cause she gets seasick. And I practically lived on the water when I was in Alaska! What should I do?”
You paused, taking in his situation.
You heard Rafe scoff.
“Dude, it’s fucking obvious. Man the fuck up and buy better clothes and learn how to hold all of her shopping bags. Isn’t it obvious?”
JJ nodded, like this made sense.
You nudged Rafe harshly. “What are you talking about? JJ, you guys sound really different, you have to ask yourself: do I like how I have to change myself to be with her? Am I ok with that? Am I ok with sacrificing things I love to be with this girl?”
JJ nodded, soaking in your words.
“Relationships are about compromise.” You rolled your eyes at these familiar words. “If you really like her, you are going to be willing to change.”
“You shouldn’t have to change for someone else.”
“Everyone should change, it’s good for the soul. Staying static is boring.”
“Guys, guys,” JJ stopped you and Rafe.
“Ok, I get both points. But, I do really like her. I’ve been pining after her for a while now and... and I don’t know, I just want to win her heart over. She’s already starting to push me away because she also doesn’t want me to change who I am. But I’m willing to put in the extra effort.”
“See? Putting in extra effort to impress the girl he likes, that’s what you should do.” Rafe commented.
You grit your teeth.
“I agree, JJ, you should always try to be better in a relationship. If she’s pushing you away because of her own fears, that only means you need to work harder.” Pope noted.
“Or maybe she’s right, maybe you shouldn’t push people to make them feel like a burden to you. Maybe she just wants the best for you because she obviously knows you very well!”
“Maybe he wants to challenge himself because he wants her to feel safe and comfortable around him!” Rafe raised his voice.
“Maybe he just wants to do that because of his ego.” You said with an equally angry tone.
“Or maybe he wants to do that because he loves her!” Rafe slammed his hands on the desk and suddenly the room was silent.
“Um... are you guys good?” JJ whispered, his problems now forgotten.
--------
Because he loves her.
Loves her.
Love.
Was Rafe still talking about the hypothetical JJ in this situation or was he talking about himself?
Because you knew you were talking about yourself.
Was he doing the same?
You sprinted out of that classroom once your professor dismissed you.
“Y/n, wait.”
You paused outside the door. If you left, it would make you look mighty suspicious. If you stayed, then you could pretend everything was ok and that the “argument” you just had wasn’t about yourselves.
You decided to make a run for it.
Unfortunately, Rafe jumped in front of you before you could leave.
“Y/n, please. Talk to me.”
“What? There’s nothing to talk about. JJ can make his own decisions. What a handful of a girl, right?” You tried to step around him, but Rafe kept blocking you. “Move-”
“We need to talk and I have a class soon. Meet me at my apartment when your classes end, ok?”
You hesitated, but the desperation in his eyes made it hard for you to say no.
“Ok.”
-------
Rafe’s apartment wasn’t too far of a walk from campus, plus you took the bus for part of the way. You secretly ate a bowl of rice with beef and broccoli before going just in case he didn’t have any more pho left at his apartment.
You felt your heart beating out of control as you plucked up the courage to knock on his door.
“C’mon, you can do this.” You whispered to yourself. You raised your hand to knock, but the door flung open.
Rafe had been back for a while since he was a morning person and finished his classes before noon. You on the other hand, finished classes at 5pm. No hate in the game, this was college.
You took in his appearance and looked him up and down.
He was wearing gray sweatpants with a white tank top and a red flannel over it. He looked too good right now for being casual. Fuck.
You gulped. “Hey.”
He gave you a tight smile. “Hey.”
You both stood there awkwardly.
“Can I come in?”
“Oh shit, yeah, of course.”
As you stepped into the well-lit apartment, you noticed he was sweaty; it seemed like he just got done with working out. All you wanted to do was to take off that flannel and see what he was hiding underneath.
“Did you just come from the gym?” You asked nonchalantly.
He raised a brow at your random question, but nodded. “Yup.”
You both stood in silence for a hot minute, the tension filling the air. You noticed his eyes trailing down your body; you knew you wore tighter clothes up top to try and impress the boy. You didn’t think it would work... but it did.
“Oh fuck it.” You spat. His eyes grew confused at your sudden outburst, but when you took 3 large steps and grabbed his face, they widened.
“Can I kiss you?” You whispered.
“Please.”
And then you kissed him.
His lips were soft, but his hands were rough on your body. He pulled you close enough so that your chests touched, making you groan at the contact. He deepened the kiss, teasing you with his tongue.
“Rafe,” you chanted. You didn’t know what you were asking for, you just wanted him.
He smiled, moving to kiss you all over your face and your neck. He smoothly pulled you into his bedroom.
His bedroom was bare; only a bed sat in the middle and one desk to the side of it. You didn’t care, as long as there was a bed in there, that’s all that mattered.
Except you happened to miss a large box near the side of the bed that almost made you hit your head on the wooden floor.
“Oops.” Rafe caught you before you fell.
“Sorry, I forgot to move those.”
Before he could move them out of sight, you noticed something familiar looking.
“Wait... are these--?”
“Wait-”
You picked up the box before he could stop you. You grew confused staring down at the object inside of it.
“Are these... what I think they are?”
He ruffled his hair and nodded, trying to hide his red face. “Um, yeah. It’s... yeah.” He finished lamely.
You looked down and gently traced your fingers across the extravagant book covers. When you looked inside, they were all signed by your favorite author with a cute message. You felt tears well up in your eyes.
“You went to the book signing.” You said numbly.
He nodded hesitantly. He wasn’t sure how you would react. “I did...I wasn’t sure which book you liked from her so I got all 3.”
He played with the bottom of his flannel, anxiously waiting for your next move.
You set the books down and pulled him in by his shirt.
“Kiss me.”
He paused, but only for a moment before he stripped off his flannel.
Yes, finally.
He laughed. “You’ve been waiting for this to come off?” Shit, you said that out loud.
He wasted no time pressing his lips to yours. You clung onto his neck, not being able to get close enough to him. Kissing was great, it was fantastic even. But you wanted more. You gently lifted your hips to meet his, rocking back and forth experimentally.
He groaned at your movement. “Baby,” He whispered.
You thought you would hate that pet name.
You didn’t.
“Yes?” You teased, planting little kisses on his neck, his collarbone, right under his ear. When he didn’t answer, you tugged him back down to you by his hair.
You’re sure you had been making out for at least half an hour at this point when suddenly he lifted his head up.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
And you meant it.
-------
You woke up in the morning with the best sleep you’ve had in years. You immediately turned to your side and saw Rafe still fast asleep. You saw his bare chest move up and down, up and down. It was hypnotic.
You gently moved your fingers across his chest, soaking in the smoothness of it. The feeling of soft pleasure woke Rafe up. He smiled when he saw your mischievous look.
“Good morning, gorgeous. How’re ya feelin’?”
“Hmmm, alright.”
He gently kissed your shoulder blade. What a tease.
“Only alright?”
He tried to pull the blankets down to uncover your naked body, but it was the morning and you were still shy.
You laughed at his attempts to turn you on.
“Stop, Rafe, you horny ba-”
He then leaned in closely to you and whispered in your ear.
“If I knew getting you books would get me laid, I would’ve done it years ago.”
You laughed.
“You didn’t know me years ago!”
He gave you a crooked smile.
“Plus, my love language is receiving gifts, so you got lucky.”
He shrugged, but his eyes softened when he stared at you longer.
He pulled you down for another soft kiss. You wanted more, but he pulled away before it could get too racy.
“Told you I would learn how to love you.”

Halloween Frenzy
This piece is a bit old but just wanted to post it. It’s also 1st person this time so that a bit different. Let me know what you think, feedback is always appreciated.
Warning: badly written smut, d-bag gray, and an overall shitty halloween party but what can you do?
Enjoy. (also the title is horrible but I just didn’t know what else to call it.
I was at a Halloween party with my friend (Y/F/N), a Halloween party that surely made bingo night seem fun. She was a cat and I was Minnie Mouse.
Her costume was slutty, though mine had a bit more decency. I opted on doing my hair but decided against it and just wore a red bob wig instead, while (Y/F/N) wore some extensions to her already long auburn hair.
“I heard Grayson is around here somewhere.” (Y/F/N) told me. Grayson Dolan was a dirty, rotten, player. Hot, but a playing jerk. Sure, he may seem so innocent that the teachers and adults seem to fall for, me? It didn’t get very far. To me he was nothing but a good looking bad boy looking for trouble.
“Great…” I trailed of rolling my eyes. Unfortunately, I was like any girl here who had a crush on the schools rebel, I just didn’t show it, or give into his satisfaction like all these brainless zombies seemed to be doing. Hating to admit like the other girls, I was drooling as I watched him play soccer. He wasn’t exactly the tallest person on the team, but having him sweat and take off his shirt at the end made up for so much.
Just as she had said that, I heard someone’s loud, obnoxious laugh. I looked to my right to see a boy wearing a white tank top, and baggy jeans with chains. With his back turned towards me, I gave him the nastiest glare I could muster. I had found Grayson.
“Easy there, girl. He won’t like you if you’re glaring,” she teased, nudging me slightly.
“Ugh! Shut up…” I hissed. As if he could feel my stare, he slowly turned around till he too was looking straight at me. After studying me a few minutes he slowly smirked. Red cup in his hand and feeling so cocky, he walked over to me, (Y/F/N) running out of sight. ‘Gee, thanks (Y/F/N)!’
“Well, well. If it isn’t Minnie Mouse. What’s a matter? Couldn’t find a Mickey?” he chuckled at his own joke (boo, sorry for that lame joke xD)
“Last time I checked, this was a Halloween party, not a douchebag contest.” I said grimly.
“And last time I checked, this wasn’t a WHORE house” he retorted. I rolled my eyes and scoffed at him. It wasn’t like the other girls here weren’t dressed the same anyway. In fact, probably more revealing than I was.
“What are you supposed to be anyway?” I asked, even though I didn’t want to.
“I’m not in costume, but people think I’m a gangster. Either way I don’t care, this is a lame party anyway.” He shrugged, shoving his hands in pants pockets.
“I see, well you could’ve fooled me,” I muttered mostly to myself. He was hot, but this outfit just made him look like an asshole, well more than he already was.
“Alright ladies and gentlemen. Time for a special performance by the ‘Cupcakes.’” Mark announced.
“Now if you don’t mind, I have to dance now,” I sassed. (Just think of any song lmao)
We head out to the make-shift stage out in the backyard. Walking up the stage we got into position. I caught eyes with Grayson briefly, throwing him a sly smirk. Let’s see you now hot shot.
Showing our stuff this way and that, we were getting a rise out of the audience. With all the eyes that were on us, I could feel Grayson giving the most intense stare of all. Studying me, watching my every move.
With the final moves of our dance, the crowd started going crazy with cheers and hollers. I saw Grayson give a cocky grin, though he was clapping. Seeming genuinely impressed with our special presentation. Something to at least give life to this dull party.
As everyone was back inside once again, drinking, making out, and doing god knows what. I went to grab a drink to calm my nerves.
“Hey, you did well out there,” came from behind me. Turning quickly around, I only found (Y/F/N), secretly I wished it was Grayson.
“T-thanks, so did you.” I took a sip of the cheap, stale beer. Certainly not the best, but better than anything.
“Don’t worry, (Y/N), I’m sure by now he thinks you’re hot, he won’t be able to resist you.” I just gave a closed mouth smile. With a comforting pat on the shoulder, she stalked off to go get drunk or something. I snorted at what she said. It wasn’t likely to happen but. She did put an image in my head.
Not long after, everything started to get fuzzy. I hadn’t seen Grayson since we did the routine. ‘He’s probably bangin’ some chick right now’ I thought to myself. At the thought, I felt myself moisten. Thoughts swam through my mind wondering how he was in bed. Exactly how many of the student body had he slept with? As I exited the bathroom, I froze when I saw who was just on the other side of the door.
“Finally, I found you,” he smirked. He had taken off the biker hat, his messy, charcoal black hair in show. “Yeah right.” I muttered to myself. He walked closer to me as if he heard me.
“I’m serious.” He whispered lowly in my ear. God! I just wanted to dig my hands in his hair and make an even more mess of it. I gulped hard. Pushing a way slightly, I tried to play it as he did. But I was crumbling, like a pie.
“Why, couldn’t find a lay?” this time I smirked. He narrowed his eyes at me menacingly.
“Come with me,” He demanded me. He grabbed my arm and roughly dragged me somewhere. It all happened so fast. He pulled me until we were in a room. Probably Mark’s guest room, and slammed the door shut behind him. Pinning me against the door, he held my writs above my head. Oh my God? Was this happening?!
Nose almost touching mine, I stared into his cold, dark eyes that held anger, frustration, and lust?
“You know what you’re doing, don’t you?” he seethed in my face. I was genuinely confused. What was he talking about? His eyes that were usually a warm brown colour was only a thin ring as his dilated pupil was full blown.
“What are you talking about?” I stared at him, a confused look graced my features.
“Don’t play dumb with me! You act like a slut tonight, the dance for example. I know you like me! I’m not fucking stupid. You wanted to get a rise at me, we’ll you will fucking get it now!” he exclaimed with such a dark aura. He pushed me into the door, it was actually starting to hurt.
“Flaunting yourself around in that costume, dancing in front of all those people. You wanna be a slut fine, then I’ll treat you like one!” he pulled me off the door and pushed me on the bed, wig falling as he did so. Oh my god! This was happening!
He crawled on top of me, wrists held by his hands again. He was acting like a maniac, but looked beyond gorgeous as the moon shone light on his face.
“Go ahead, Make your move,” my blood was boiling. I was angry yet so turned on. He just knew how to work his magic.
“Watching me at those soccer games. You think I don’t notice you stare at me? Huh? I know you like me, just like all those other girls. You are the worst one of all, pretending to act all innocent. You are a slut, don’t you ever forget it!” he roared, pressing me further into the mattress. I whimpered in pain from the tight grip. God, it was so hot in here.
“Don’t worry, babe. You’ll soon be screaming my name. In pleasure.” he whispered lowly in my ear. How could a guy with a cute face have a sexy, yet aggressive side to him? I was enjoying every moment of this. He gripped me by the neck, carefully not to cut me out of breath and forced me to look at him. My now free hands landed in his hair, pulling at the roots. I lowered his head till I could feel his breath against my lips.
“Oh yes, I’m a big slut,” I cooed teasingly. He ran his thumb along my lower lip before he placed his lips upon mine. Kissing me twice before he licked into my mouth. I opened my mouth for him as he entered. He kissed me with raw desire, biting at my lips and tugging them, running his tongue against my teeth. I swear I could taste a little blood. After our little make-out session and leaving nothing untouched, he pulled me up and went for the zipper of my Minnie Mouse costume.
He licked a strip up my neck, teasing before he went to a spot on my neck that drove me completely mad. I was at his beck and call, and I enjoyed every second of it.
“Ahhh!” I gasped. I could feel him smirk against my skin. I knew he burst my capillaries, thus know sporting a hickey. He licked over his creation a couple of times before he pulled down the shoulder part of my dress. Grayson kissed my shoulder a couple of times before moving down towards my collarbones, again leaving marks.
I gently pushed him off me before I climbed onto his lap. I kissed from his jaw down to his neck, the same way he did to me.
“You know, you looked so hot tonight. I couldn’t control myself. I would have gone mad.” He whispered lowly. He let out a delicious groan that only infused my hunger. Seeing guys in pleasure was surely a sight to see. Letting go of his flesh I tugged on the hem of his tank top, signaling I wanted the offending material off. He chuckled as he pulled it over his head and somewhere in the room.
“Ha, couldn’t wait could you?”’ he teased. It was only fair if I took of my costume, throwing it somewhere in the room along with his tank top. Thank god I picked the good set of undergarments tonight. “Shut up.” I playfully nudged him.
He now laid on his back as I placed kisses down his chest all the way to his abdomen. His breath increasing, the heat was too much. He gripped the sheets as I got to the hem of his pants. Placing butterfly kisses here and there. Seeing him at his mercy was a pretty hot sight to see.
“(Y/N), please do something. Don’t tease me.” He whimpered, gripping the sheets again.
“Aww, where’s the fun in that, huh?” I cooed. I teased, but I couldn’t wait either. The anticipation was killing me. Popping open the button of the pants, slowly moving along to the zipper and pulling it down at a painfully slow pace. I tugged down at his pants till it was at his knees, with his help of course. He was wearing black boxer shorts, but I could still see his outline.
The little trails of hair he had that led to the ‘promise land’ were fine, like baby hair just starting to grow. I took the band of the boxers and slowly began pulling down. His member slapped out hitting his belly button and a little past. He wasn’t huge, but he sure was thick. Twitching at my touch, he bucked in my hand. I wrapped my hand in a small fist and began to pump.
“Gahhh! Shit… Oh my God…” he released a loud moan. Eyes shut tight, eyebrows furrowed, biting his lip and writhing in pleasure. Pre-cum started to ooze out of his slit, I took my thumb and rubbed it all over the head of his member, jerking at the sensitive touch. I was about to take him in my mouth when he stopped me.
“Wait! Come here and turn around, you’re back to me,” he instructed. I pouted but did as he told. I took off my bra as I felt him tugging my thong down. Lifting myself to aid him in the process, it was finally off. God he looked so sexy. His cheeks flushed, his messy hair. I would have loved to take a picture of this moment, but that would have been weird. He pulled me by the hips till I was backed up to him, until we were both in line.
“Whenever you’re ready, baby.” I lowered my face, lightly licking from base to tip, the same time he licked up my wet opening. Twirling my tongue around the head of his member urged a groan to escape once again.
“Oh Lord! Don’t stop…” he practically begged. I didn’t. We both worked at the same pace, if I was slow then he was slow, if I sped up then so did he, we met the perfect rhythm. Not too fast not to slow. That was how Grayson worked, regardless anything.
“Ohhh!” I moaned around his twitching length that was in my mouth. He had hit a spot deep inside me as he fucked me with his tongue. Spots were soon seen in my line of vision. We were both close.
“On three, baby. One…Two…Three!” we moaned each other’s name as we wen spiraling into climax. Pleasure filled my veins as we gasped for air. I pulled off his dick and turned around to face him. He smiled a bright smile at me which I mirrored. ‘God, he was so cute!’ I thought. He pulled me up over to him and kissed me thoroughly, taking my breath away. His lips were so soft, it was like kissing a cloud.
“Don’t think we’re done just yet, I still need to fuck you, you’re still a little slut who hasn’t learned,” He gave a hard slap to my ass that made me yelp in surprise.
“On all fours! Ass up…NOW!” he barked, in his smooth, velvety voice. I got into position like he told me to, I could feel myself getting wet with want.
“Now, are you gonna be a good girl and listen? Or do I have to teach you to behave, Hmm?” I was all over the place at this point. He gave me another slap, this time I was more used to it.
“I’ll be good I promise. Just fuck me!” I exclaimed impatiently. He rubbed the head of his member against my slick opening, I couldn’t help but grind against him.
“Bad! Don’t move, or I will slap you even harder,” he growled, from somewhere deep within his chest. I wanted to object but I obeyed. It was probably better that way. He placed it back against my heat, but I didn’t grind this time.
“Beg! I want you to beg. Beg me to fuck you, c’mon. I’m waiting…” Man, he sure knew how to push someone over the edge.
“Please, Grayson, fuck me. Fuck me like the slut I am, I need to learn to behave!” I wailed in agony.
“No! Not Grayson, you will refer to me as ‘Master’ now. So tell me.” He smacked me once again.
“Master! Please, I need you to fuck me. I need to behave, just do something!” I cried out. I probably looked so pathetic right now compared to other’s girls. But wouldn’t you do the same if you really wanted someone. With that, he thrusted himself inside me.
“AHHHHHH!!!” I screamed. He was buried in there good. He gripped my hips steadily, moving in and out feeling everything inside.
“Faster GR-MASTER! OHHHH!” He obliged and started going faster. Each thrust sent me closer to release, sweet relief. He roughly pulled my matted hair in a ponytail, adding more to this sweet pain/pleasure.
“How’s it feel? Do you feel good, baby?” he asked, smacking me once again. There was going to be an imprint of his hand if he kept that up.
“Yes, so good, master. I’m getting close,” I wailed loudly, the sounds of the party was loud enough to mask my moans so I could be as loud as I wanted. He jackhammered into me, touching all the right spots. I would’ve cum in no time, but sadly, he stopped.
“Ride me!” he spat. He sat up straight as I climbed into his lap once again. Holding himself as I sank down on him. ‘Wow, what a feeling!’
He filled me all the way up, just how I wanted him to. I held on his shoulders as I rocked back and forth. Then he guided my hips in movement as I slowly began to bounce.
“You look so hot right now, god you feel so good. Kiss me, baby!” He said weakly, his dark hair plastered to his forehead. I pulled him by the face and brought his lips on mine. He licked inside, exploring my cavern once again like how I explored his. The sounds of wet kissing and slapping filled room, along with our moans and grunts, we were ready. Grayson savagely attacked my neck and collarbones with kisses and hickies, hickies I would surely have to cover up.
“Ohhh, I’m almost there!!” I mewled as he continued to attack my collarbones. He hadn’t moved but moved his hand in-between us and rubbed my clit in circles.
“Mmm…” he moaned in my neck, biting it slightly. I could feel heat pooling in my lower abdomen. I started bouncing harder, getting him to hit the spot inside.
“I’m going to-ohhhh! GRAY-MMPHH” He kissed me hard, fueling the fire further.
“Scream my name, babe. Scream it!” he rasped. Hot flashed was going through my body, body feeling fuzzy and tingly.
“GRAYSON!!! AHHHH!!” I screamed loudly. I felt him follow not to long after. Feeling him shoot thick ropes of his seed inside as he lowly grunted. Exhausted, we feel back into the bed, feeling the post-sex bliss.
“Holy Shit!” I heaved. He chuckled, pulling me into his chest, muttering a quiet “I know.” I snuggled into him, inhaling his scent. Sweat, a tinge of soap, and himself. It made me smile. He pecked my temple softly as I drew patterns on his body.
“What are doing?” he asked, giggles as I traced.
“Nothing,” I answered cutely. I let go and looked up at him. He pecked the tip of my nose softly before he did the same.
“That was amazing.” I uttered, mostly to myself. It really was, it felt like we had done this before. “It was.” He agreed. It couldn’t have been more perfect.
“We should probably get going though, people might wonder where we ran off to…” although I could see he didn’t want to.
“Alright,” I just had one question, where did this leave us. Was this some hookup or did he actually want something. I had to know.
“Hey, Grayson? I just wanted to ask where this leaves us, you know…” I trailed off at the end. I saw him freeze a little as he went to get his shirt.
“(Y/N), you know I have a reputation to withhold. I can’t just drop it now. Especially because of a party. My head dropped and I nodded glumly. I knew it was too good to be true.
“Listen, tonight was amazing. Sweetheart, please understand that. But I will tell you this, I have never ever felt like this in all my time since we started high school. I wanted you for the longest time, but you are some much better than a guy like me, a lot better. I’m a no good loser who just passes by along every day, you don’t need me to hold you back.” He cupped my cheeks, I willed myself not to cry, though I felt a tear slide down my cheek,
“Don’t cry please, that last thing I want to do is make you cry. Shit.” He muttered the last to himself.
“I-I really l-like you,” I said. He quickly looked up at me as if he hadn’t heard what I said. He heard loud and clear.
“Baby, don’t do this. I can’t just say I’m taken. It’s so obvious.” He tried to reason. I knew he was right.
“I’ll wait for you,” I stared deeply into his as how he stared into mine. He gave a small smile.
“Perhaps, one day. But right now, it’ll be way too complicated.”
“I g-guess.” I sighed looking down. He nudged my chin up to make me look at him.
“Hey, it’s not the end. You know, if you’re always looking, you know where to find me.
“You have something those girls/guys never had. A heart. You see people differently, you see the good in them. I could try and not be too much of an asshole, but that’s about it,” He made a face. I chuckled at that, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. I was determined to wait no matter how long it would be.
“Hey…” He began. He cupped my face softly in his hands and kissed me long and passionate, relishing the feelings into this one kiss. He pulled back and smiled a toothy smile, I mirrored it.
“You know, the assembly is next Tuesday, wanna skip and you know, fool around a little?” he threw a cheesy wink a little. I had to laugh at his childishness sometimes.
“You’ve got yourself a date,” I replied, he pecked me one last time and waited for me as I got my costume back on.
As we walked out, I saw (Y/F/N) and caught her eye. She looked between Grayson and I, her eyes grew the size of saucers.
“Tell me!” she mouthed. I laughed a little.
“Later” I mouthed back.
From then on, Grayson and I had a different relationship, sure he still did stuff here and there, but besides that. We had something that no one could or would understand. A Connection. Everyone was too quick to judge just because he was a player, but I knew he was more than that. He was willing to work it with someone. On the day he is finally ready to take that step, I would gladly welcome him with open arms.
