STAR WARS REBELS 2.06, Brothers of the Broken Horn

[simpforrooster]

the best pilot in the navy.

pete “maverick” mitchell x f!simpson reader

summary: your admiral father allows you to work control room during the uranium mission, despite your relationship with maverick. the pilot who’s a pain in his ass.

t/w: some angst, language. fluff at the end. not sure if the specifics are navy accurate, but let me have this xD

“can you handle this, captain?” you father asked you in his office.

“yes, sir,” you replied.

he studied your face. “you know there are risks-“

you cut him off. “yes, sir. i know that. i know that every time he flies in that plane he may not come back.”

the admiral mask fell from his face. working with your father, admiral simpson has its ups and downs. throw in you dating one of his subordinates. then have that subordinate bc roughly the same age as your dad.

yeah.

“y/n. now answer the question as my daughter.”

your mask slipped as well. “i’ll be fine, dad. promise. mav is a hell of a pilot.”

“dagger one is hit. i repeat, dagger one is hit!”

the words you’ve been praying to avoid echo in your ears. your boyfriend is flying dagger one.

you struggle not to look over your shoulder at your father, not wanting to give him any reason to regret allowing you to work the control room for this mission.

“asking permission to launch search and rescue,” hangman comes over the coms.

“negative,” your father says.

that does it. you spin around in your chair, ignoring hangman who is waiting on you to relay the admiral’s answer.

“sir?” he calls again.

your eyes hold your father’s, matching in color and glare. “dad,” you squeak out.

“he’s waiting on the answer, captain.” his admiral mask is firm, unwavering.

“we can’t leave him out there,” you press. hondo meets your eyes, the same sadness holding there.

“there is nothing we can do for maverick. not in a damn f-18.” the words spear through your heart.

you’re not an idiot. you know he’s right. that's been the whole point of the extensive training, the enemies superoir aircraft.

“negative, spare,” you relay.

your heart grows heavier in your chest as the seconds go by. your concentration ebbs and flows from the monitor. the dots of the other daggers get closer to the boat.

natasha and bob.

coyote and fanboy.

rooster.

not maverick.

not maverick.

the sounds of the control room go silent, replaced by a high pitched whine. water drips onto your keyboard. is the roof leaking?

it takes a second to realize those are your tears.

you launch your headphones toward the monitor and slide back from the desk. you can't take it.

you can't take it.

"captain simpson!" your fathers calls. his booming voice is enough to get you to stop for a millisecond. "do not walk out that door."

ignoring him, you run out into the hallway, hondo on your tail.

his burly arms wrap around you from behind. the action makes the tears fall from your eyes without abandon.

"i know," he murmurs above your ear. "i know."

mav tried to tell you goodbye before he left and you wouldn't let him.

"hondo! simpson! get back in here. rooster turned around and was shot down!" warlock orders.

damn it, rooster.

slipping back into the control room, you expertly avoid your father’s heavy gaze. it’s like the two of you have time-traveled back to your high school days, and he got a call from the school about your excessive talking.

the two of you being cut from the same cloth makes working together tooonns of fun.

swiping away stray tears, you get to work.

“sir, rooster’s radio just turned back on. but he’s supersonic,” the controller next to you says. you peer over at his monitor. sure enough, the rooster dot is moving at a steady pace.

your gaze finds the admiral’s. “maverick,” he says.

your heart swells at the thought of maverick still being alive.

“they’ve got bandits on them,” you say.

“send out spare one,” your father tells you.

com-ing over to hangman, he’s up in the air in no time.

~

waiting for mav and rooster to make it back to the boat felt like eons. as they approached, everyone left the control room to meet them on deck.

you follow warlock and your dad up to the tower.

as your stare out over the water, trying to spot the place your boyfriend’s in, your dad’s voice fills the air.

“i hope you understand my call,” he says.

holding your gaze over the water, you want to pick a fight. you want to scream and argue. you want him to feel the heartbreak you felt in that moment.

the moment he didn’t allow hangman to go over mav.

but you understood.

you truly did. of course losing one pilot was better than two. the thought makes you want to throw up.

“i do. i told you i could handle the mission,” you reply, your back still turned.

his hand comes up to your shoulder, lightly squeezing, the admiral mask slipping.

you turn, knowing you’ll get your dad and not your admiral. once your eyes meet, the tears fall from your eyes.

“i was so scared,” you say into his chest. cyclone pulls you tight against him, a dad holding his girl tight.

your sobs subside when warlock points towards the distance. “thank God, there they are.”

cyclone slips back into admiral mode right as maverick buzzes the tower. the three of you are jostled at the sound and speed of it.

your father cocks an eyebrow at you. seriously, this is who you want to be with?

all you can do is offer him a grin before running from the tower.

on deck, maverick and rooster accept hugs and slaps on the back. maverick gives everyone a polite acknowledgment, his head craning for someone.

for you.

once he sees you, relief floods his face. “oh, baby,” he says, that relief palpable in his voice. he grabs you, pulling you into him, one hand in your hair, the other around your waist.

again, you don’t bother hiding the tears. he pulls back, his thumbs running across your cheeks. “i’m here. i’m here. i’m okay.”

your hands run over his body, checking for injuries. any scratches to his perfect self.

“talk to me, simpson,” he says, his voice wary.

it’s like you’ve forgotten how to speak with the flood of emotions. instead, you pull him down to you, enveloping his mouth with a kiss.

a kiss you were afraid you’d never be able to give him.

maverick rests his forehead against yours, “i was so worried about you.”

“me?” finally finding your voice. “i was worried about you.”

“haven’t i told you not to worry about me? i’m the best pilot in the navy,” he smirks. you playfully shove him back, letting hondo greet his friend.

the two men wrap each other in a tight embrace. maverick pulls back first, glancing up to the tower. warlock pumps his fist and your father nods his reluctant approval.

Christmas headcannons for the Punch Out!! Wii boxers!! 🥊🎄✨️

(cover by me :p)

They're all having a christmas party/sleepover together, there's a big Christmas tree in the gym, and their doing Secret Santa :3

Glass Joe 🇫🇷 🥐

- Made most of the food for the Xmas party. He baked bundt cakes, sugar cookies, peppermint brittle, buche de noel, and little gingerbread men he decorated to look like the boxers. Bro literally baked his German bf into a cookie because he misses him-

- The ref gifted ugly Christmas sweaters to all the boxers. Joe got an oversized blue and white jack frost themed one. He actually loved it and is keeping it

- Got berated by Aran throwing snowballs at him on his way to the party

- Overly invested in Kaiser retelling Christmas stories

- Over drank hot chocolate and passed out around 10pm. Later woke up under the tree, wrapped in wrapping paper and with several gift boys in his hair. Shockingly, it wasn't Aran who did this-

- Received his secret Santa gift from Kaiser. It was a makeshift lightweight belt Kaiser had crafted himself. Joe cried for 20 minutes straight after receiving it

- His new year resolution is to win more fights

Von Kaiser 🇩🇪🔩

- Had amazing childhood Christmas's as a child (at least the ones with just his mom) and will happily hyperfixate and info dump about them

- Taught Joe how to make fresh gingerbread (Lebkuchen)

- Recieved lots of cute, hand-made christmas cards from his boxing class. Almost cried reading them since they all praised him as a boxing teacher

- Traumatized most of the boxers after he told lore-dropped about Krampus.

- His ugly Christmas sweater was itchy and had bells on it. It quickly got on his nerves, and he later got rid of it... not before taking the bells off though. Spare parts are spare parts!

- Did most of the decorating around the gym and policed anyone who wanted to help decorate the tree. Clearly, he's an expert

- Received his secret santa gift from Bald Bull. He got this adorable "build it yourself" cuckoo clock set and absolutely adored it. (Extra hc that Bald Bull knows wayyy too much about the boxers' personal lives bc he's so quiet and listens in on their secretive conversations).

- His new year resolution was to practice self love more

- Around midnight, when the snow slowed down, he took Joe outside for a little private slow dance behind the gym, out in the snow... they kissed by the end of the hour, by the end of their slow dance ❤️

Disco Kid 🇺🇲 🕺

- "I 👁jUsT wAnT🤲 yOu🫵 FoR 4️⃣mY oWn🤲, MoRe ➕️ThAn YoU 🫵cOuLd EvEr KnOw🧠, MaKe🔨 My WiSh✨️ CoMe TrOoOoO✅️... aLl I wAnT🤲 fOr 4️⃣ChRiStMaS🎄 iS yOuUuU🫵" ....all. night. long. With Aran too.

- Got a cute reindeer sweater from the ref, and wore it all night. Got sad when Kaiser threw out his own sweater.

- Has an entire, 100+ song playlist he made for the party. About 10 of the songs on it were remixes of that one Mariah Carey one he loves so much

- Danced with Aran all-night long, despite Arans lack of rhythm. Got giggly af when Aran kissed him.

- Took a picture of Joe wrapped under the tree. It's now the official WVBA Christmas card.

- Accidentally burnt his tongue drinking the hot chocolate Hondo brought

- Kept in contact with Hondo, Aran, and Tiger as they stole Flamenco out of Brooklyn Heights. Acted as the "mission control" of the Flamenco heist situation

- Recieved his secret santa gift from King Hippo. It was a necklace made of pearls, that were decorated to look like little disco balls. He loved it, weared it all night long... and thanked King Hippo with a big ole hug.

- His new years resolution is to take his career as a boxer a little bit more seriously

King Hippo 🏝 🦛

- Hates the cold sm, he's napping by the heater 90% of the time

- Hondo was nice enough to supply the king with extra hot cocoa

- His sweater sadly didn't fit him

- Loudest teeth chattering in the world

- The boxers who got rid of their sweaters gave them to Hippo for him to use as a blanket... plus the warm hug Hippo got from Disco Kid.

- "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" is considered an offensive song to him and his kin. Disco Kid nearly lost an arm before promptly removing the song from his holiday playlist.

- Recieved his secret santa gift from Soda Popinski. He got a little Hippo plushie! He stimmed and roared a lot from it, so the boxers assumed he was happy. The plushie was pineapple scented too, so it reminded him of home.

- Doesn't know what a new years resolution is, and he didn't make one.

Piston Hondo 🇯🇵🍣

- Cooked most of the non-baked foods for the party, including freshly made hot chocolates... fanciest hot chocolates ever made.

- Gave up his cute penguin sweater to Hippo, despite actually liking the sweater

- Was the designated driver during the "Flamenco Heist" mission... which is good, since none of the other participants could drive that quietly.

- Got pulled over for speeding out of Brooklyn Heights... buuut after getting the ticket and trying to get Aran to stop cursing at the policeman, he eventually transports Don and the boys safely to the party.

- Crashed out under the tree after the heist.

- (Before the heist) recieved his secret santa gift from Glass Joe. He got a cute pusheen cat mug and a christmas card with a handwritten Haiku in it, about what a great friend Hondo is. Needless to say, Hondo was very grateful.

- His new years resolution list is loooong... stuff like "lose weight" and "focus on social life" and "be less selfish"... basically a lot of insecurities he secretly has.

Bear Hugger 🇨🇦🐻

- Got a large tree, fresh from the woods (AND replanted it, because deforestation is bad ✨️)

- Spruce didn't attend the party bc he was hibernating

- Bear recieved a polar bear sweater that was way too small on him, which sucked because he liked it. After Hippo was done using the unused sweaters as a blanket, Bear would later give his sweater to Lomasi, even if it's way too big for her. She loves it though

- Ate most of the food and stole some leftovers for Spruce and Lomasi to snack on. The sugar made him stay up all night

- Wayyyy too invested in the whole Flameco heist story

- Around 3am, he left the party and got his woodland animal friends to steal the remnants of Don's torn coat from a local dump, and he got them all to repair it. Don would be gifted it back on Christmas morning, much to Carmen's shock and surprise.

- Recieved his secret santa gift from Super Macho Man. He got two gifts, an adult bib that pointed to his mouth and read "CPDS: Canada's Pancake Disposal System." and Spruce recieved adorable squirrel sized swimming wings (made by Kaiser, gifted by Macho Man).

- His new years resolution is single handedly stop humans and corporations from hurting the environment.

Great Tiger 🇮🇳🐅

- Typically doesn't celebrate Christmas, but is gonna do so this year just to spend time with his friends and to participate in secret santa. (It's a personal choice if Sikh individuals wish to celebrate Christmas or not, according to my research before writing this).

- Absolutely LOVED his corny ahh ugly Christmas cat sweater, wore it during the Flamenco heist situation

- Re-inacted some of Kaisers' christmas stories using his clones

- When Hondo arrived at Carmen's house that evening, Tiger was in charge of distracting Carmen and her family while Aran snuck Don out of the top window. He and his clones did a (technical) one-man caroling mini spectacular, complete with dancing and a short rap session. Ofc Tiger had to he over the top with it

- Screamed like a girl when Aran gifted him a fake dead rat... luckily, Hondo said "Aran, you shouldn't hurt your own kind" after Aran bursted out laughing

- His new years resolution is to be more self sufficient and depend on his magic less

Don Flamenco 🇪🇸 🥀

- His parents from Spain sent him this gorgeous, satin winter coat with a cute little card. They love him very much, despite how little contact Don has with them (due to Carmen ofc)

- Bro had an entire Cinderella arc. Basically, Don wanted to go to the WVBA Christmas party, but Carmen wanted him to stay home and spend the night with her... even though he's been cooped up at her home since mid-December. She says stuff like "I matter more" and "They're better off without you," using such language to gaslight and manipulate Don into staying with her.

- They got into a fight about it, which resulted in Carmen not only tearing up his new winter coat Don's family from Spain had sent him a few days ago... but she also locks him in her room that night until he "becomes a better boyfriend."

- This pushed him over the edge, and he called out to Disco Kid for help! Luckily, Aran, Hondo and Tiger were able to "kidnap" him away from Carmen's place, and Don was able to spend half the night at the party

- Pretended to like his elf christmas sweater so as not to hurt the refs feelings.

- Also wore it because he hates the cold

- Taking selfies along with Macho Man, without thinking that Carmen might see them and know where he was. Thankfully, Carmen didn't.

- Recieved his secret santa present from Great Tiger. He got an expensive skin care kit that he vows to use daily.

- His new years resolution is to "be a stronger boyfriend" for Carmen.

- Snuck back into Carmen's home around 6am and fell asleep on the couch. Was overjoyed the next morning to see his new coat repaired.

Aran Ryan 🇮🇪 😈

- Tries to dance with Disco Kid to the Christmas tunes, but he's got no rhythm, so it looked kinda awkward but cute at the same time.

- Just so happened to be dancing under a mistletoe a certain German precariously placed for a certain French... but only he noticed.

- Quickly kissed Disco Kid before gesturing to the mistletoe.

- Agreed to help save Don's christmas only because he wanted to break into Carmen's home, plus he has experience climbing up to second floors from the outside.... don't ask how.

- Once he broke in, he promptly placed a spare fake dead rat into Carmen's stocking (that was conveniently in her room) before safely carrying Don out of the window

- Threatened to drop Don multiple times if he didn't shut up about the cold... thankfully, Don was okay.

- Recieved his secret santa gift from Bear Hugger. He got A LUMP OF COAL. He nearly destroyed everything in that gym until he looked deeper into the gift bag... and also saw he got a new leather jacket with a badass Irish blessing on the back of it. Bear laughed his ass off at Arans initial reaction

- Didn't say it out loud, but his new years resolution was to be a better behaved human of society... at least for Disco Kid's sake.

Soda Popinski 🇷🇺🍾

- Casually walked to the gym out in the cold wearing a christmas tank top and apple bottom jeans.

- "Soda it's fucking 21 degrees out"

- "And?"

- Liked his snowman sweater, it was super cute to him. He and Macho Man did sweater selfies together

- Chugging eggnog because no one else wants to drink it. The sugar he got also made him stay up all night

- Got scared by Kaisers krampus story and had nightmares until new years

- Started a snowball fight with Aran early on during the party, which Joe unfortunately became a part of

- Recieved his secret santa gift from Don when he eventually arrived at the party.

- His new years resolution was to keep up his alcohol recovery process

Bald Bull 🇹🇷 🐂

- Didn't go to the Christmas party because he hates parties and doesn't celebrate Christmas. He flew back to Turkey to spend time with his family

- Gave gifts around new years to his many family members

- Didn't get his christmas sweater from the ref, but he wouldn't have liked it anyways

- Left Kaiser his secret santa present by the tree along with a note explaining why he didn't come

- When he came back in early January, he received his secret santa gift from Disco Kid. He got a pair of fluffy bull slippers. He loves them and wears them every morning now.

- His new years resolution was to become more approachable

Super Macho Man 🇺🇸🌊

- Is the one who wrapped up Joe and placed him under the tree

- Didn't like the itchy santa sweater he got (it irritated his artificially tanned skin), but he wore it most of the party because Soda wanted to take selfies with him... and gosh darn it, he won't admit it, but he liked seeing Soda all happy and enjoying himself

- Secretly cuddled with Soda each time he had nightmares about the krampus

- Also got scared by Kaisers story

- "Bro who told you about this fucking creature?!?"

- "Mien grandparents."

- "Ah, who would've guessed."

- Made Christmas thrist traps and posted them alongside Don. They even recreated that one santa scene from Mean Girls with just two people

- Recieved his secret santa gift from Piston Hondo. He got a nautical themed surf board, signed by all of the boxers. Bro let's out the loudest fucking "HELL YEAH BRO" when he got it.

- His new years resolution is to keep being talented and handsome

Mr. Sandman 💤 🟢

- Didn't participate in secret santa

- Spent Christmas alone, working out

- Recieved a WVBA merch gift card from Mr. Dream, and a ton of fan mail and gifts from his fans

- Spent Christmas night staying comfortable and sleeping peacefully

- His new years resolution is to try and find a hobby outside of boxing

(Bonus! Because I didn't wanna end on a sad note.)

Little Mac 🥊🟢

- Spent Christmas with Doc and Peter Punch, away from the Christmas party

- They all pulled an all nighter, watching Christmas movies all night

- Doc managed to pull enough money together to give both of them a plentiful christmas

- Despite being teens, Mac and Peter still both believe in Santa Clause.

- They both got lots of presents on Christmas morning, but their favorite gifts was the gamer tank top meant for Peter, and for Mac, it was this necklace with a picture of Doc and Mac first leaving the orphanage

- Mac's new years resolution is to finish school with passing grades, Peter's resolution is to keep up his appearance, and Doc's resolution is to lose a little bit of weight

Merry Christmas everyone! Have a happy holidays! And from the boxers...

"Joyeux noël" - Glass Joe

"Frohe Weihnachten" - Von Kaiser

"RAWR" - King Hippo

"Merīkurisumasu" - Piston Hondo

"मेरी क्रिसमस!" - Great Tiger

"Feliz Navidad!" - Don Flamenco

"Nollaig Shona!" - Aran Ryan (he knows a little bit of Irish lol)

"С Рождеством!" - Soda Popinski

I'll help you forget

David 'deacon' Kay x reader

Summary: reader has had a bad day, all reader wants is deacon.

Alright I'm sorry its a little sad at the beginning but it's worth it I promise.

@castle-of-ruin

Warnings: NSFW, 18+ only, minors be fucking gone from this place! Smut, teasing, praise kink, comfort sex. Unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it ffs)

IF YOU SAW ME POST THIS BY ACCIDENT BEFORE IT WAS DONE NO YOU DIDNT

"hondo told me you had a rough shift". Deacon shuts his locker gently, walking over to you, he places his arm around your waist, a friendly gesture he's done many times before.

You flinch slightly, you've had such a terrible, awful day even being touched in a comforting way fills you with rage.

"Yeah, um, I'll see you at home deac" you send him a pathetic attempt at a smile that does not reach your eyes, before shifting out of his embrace.

You shared a house with Luca, and since deacon got divorced, him too.

Having him around was like an extra boost of happiness, he was so kind, and also happened to be extremely pleasing to look at.

Deacon frowned slightly, he'd never seen you be affected by a shift this bad before, all he wanted to do was take away your sad, take away whatever pain you were in.

Getting back home, you decide to get straight in the shower, as soon as the water hits your aching muscles, you let the tears you've been holding back flow.

You don't hear the front door shut due to the noise of the shower.

Thinking no ones home yet, you exit the shower in a shirt you pinched from luca one day.

"You've been crying" a deep voice says

"Jesus deac!" He startled you, and your nerves are already frayed.

Deacon walks over to where you stood, concern etched in his features.

"I didn't mean to startle you" he says softly, reaching out to touch your elbow.

"It's alright" you whisper

"You gonna tell me what's wrong honey?" He brings his hand up to your shoulder, squeezing it slightly.

"M fine" you sigh, closing your eyes and turning your face away from him, you cannot do this right now!

"look at me sweetheart" he grasps your chin so gently, wrapping his other arm around your waist,he doesn't let go as he stares into you, you can see how much he cares for you.

The sadness in your eyes staring back at him breaks his heart a little.

A tear runs down your face, you tried to hold it back but the way he's holding you right now pushes you over the edge.

He swipes it away with his thumb, he pulls you in closer to him.

"Deac" its barely audible, but he hears it, the crack in your voice.

Deacon leans into you, catching your lips in the softest kiss.

He pulls away far too early, his brows furrow as he studies your face, a silent question, checking your okay with this.

You respond by initiating this kiss this time, wrapping your arms around his neck, you pull him into you, deacon presses his lips harder into yours, causing you to let out a moan. You feel deacon smirk as he's kissing you. He runs his hand down your spine slowly, the action sends heat straight to your core.

Deacon breaks the kiss again, leaning his forehead on yours

"I have wanted to do that for a very long time" he breathes, keeping his hands on your hips.

"I have wanted you to do that for a very long time" you smile back at him.

"You still feeling sad honey?" His deep voice comforts you, as well as making your pussy throb.

He takes your silence as a yes.

You worry your lip with your teeth

"Hey, it's okay" he assures you.

"Maybe if you kiss me again I'll feel better" you mumble.

"You want me to make you feel better sweetheart?" He's slightly breathless, eyes slightly hooded, pupils blown wide.

"Yeah" you whine.

Deacon takes your hand as he leads you to his room.

Pulling you into his room and over to the bed, he kisses you once more before pushing slightly for you to lie down. He places his hands on your thighs as you hit the mattress, meaning your legs dangle over the side of the bed.

Deacon positions himself in between your legs, moving his hands to slowly rub the inside of your thighs, he sees your breath hitch.

"Relax honey" he says before inching his hands closer to your core.

He swipes his thumb across your clothed core, making you whimper.

"Your soaking" he moans before crouching down and placing a feather light kiss to your pussy.

He hooks his fingers in the band of your underwear, and stops.

"Deac please" you cry.

"I need you to say it honey, c'mon, use your words"

You huff.

"I want you"

"Good girl" he praises as he finally removes your panties.

"Fuck" you moan at his words, your positively dripping now, and he hasn't even touched you.

Deacon places an open mouthed kiss to the top of your pussy, pushing a finger into you at the same time. You clench around his finger and deacon let's out a small groan.

He pumps his finger in and out of you while his tongue circles your clit slowly.

"Fuck deac" you whisper, he speeds up slightly at your words, adding another finger he archs them, reaching that spot inside you.

"Mm deac I'm gonna-"

"Cum for me honey" he says, mouth still on your clit, he feels your walls clench around his fingers, your eyes roll back as your orgasm washes over you.

He continues to pump his fingers in and out while you come down from your high.

"That was incredible" he breathes, removing his fingers from your dripping hole and bringing them up to lazily circle your clit.

"I-

"What is it sweetheart?"

"Fuck me, david" you say, sitting up to look him in the eye.

Deacons eyes darken slightly, he reaches for his belt, keeping his eyes on you as he strips.

"Lie back honey, head on the pillow" he says, freeing his hard cock from his boxers.

You scramble up the bed, waiting for him.

Deacon pumps his cock a few times before climbing on the bed to sit in between your legs.

"This is in my way" he says, gripping your shirt.

"Don't rip it! It's lucas!" You say

"He won't mind" deacon smirks, before ripping it off and throwing it to the side.

"You, are stunning" he whispers, placing a kiss to your lips before lining his cock up with your entrance.

You turn your head, shy, at his compliments.

"Don't hide from me honey" he grips your chin and turns your face back to look at him.

He pushes into you slowly, moaning as your pussy grips his cock.

"Jesus you feel so good" he whines as he bottoms out.

You whimper at the feeling of him inside you.

"You okay sweetheart?" He asks

"Yeah" you assure him.

"Take a deep breath honey"

He doesent move until you do.

"That's it, good" he says before thrusting into you slowly.

"I got you" deacon whispers. He keeps the place slow.

"You feel so good deac" you moan.

You clench around his cock as he thrusts into you.

Deacon whimpers as your walls flutter around him.

"Deac I'm gonna cum" you whine, closing your eyes.

"No, look at me, that's it, look at me when you cum honey" he thrusts into you hard.

" cum around my cock" he moans as his own orgasm approaches, his words making you release around him.

You feel his cock tighten inside you as his orgasm takes him.

He pulls out to lie next to you, one hand draped over your stomach.

"Feel better?" He asks

"Oh yes" you smile.

Playlist request, 79 with Hondo, please

Target | Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson

Summary: There's nowhere else you'd rather be than by Hondo's side, but he struggles to commit to you after his job puts you in danger.

Song: Now or Never - Halsey | Game Link

CW: angst, kidnapping mentioned, injury, trauma, hospitals, medicine.

A/N: I know the song isn't really about this topic, but this is what came to mind for me with Hondo, so yeah.

As you sat in the hospital bed, you tried not to think about how you'd gotten there. The long night you'd endured had finally come to an end. However, the memories were murky at best and vivid at worst. Your head was pounding from the blow you'd taken from your kidnapper, which only helped you keep most of the terror blurred from your memory. Everything else was haunting.

The lights were dimmed, the only real brightness coming from the door, so you kept your eyes closed. You wished you could sleep it off, but everything seemed to keep you awake. If it wasn't the roaring headache that the doctors promised would ease up soon, it was your nurse coming to check on you because they feared you had a concussion or worse. You hated it. You hated everything about this.

Then someone came into the room. You heard their heavy foot falls as they tried to keep them soft and quiet. It almost worked but not well enough. Your face scrunched up and they stopped, allowing you to calm down before they sighed. You knew that sigh well, too.

It was Hondo, the man who had saved you from your captor. He also happened to be your boyfriend.

"I'm sorry I let this happen," he said softly.

You opened your eyes and looked at him, catching him off guard. He tensed as your gaze fell on him.

The last time you saw him, he was decked out in full S.W.A.T. gear, holding a gun aimed at your captor. You'd never seen him so angry before, fire in his eyes that was far from the regular determination you were used to. Just seeing him helped you feel better, even though there had been a gun to your head and you'd been hurt quite a bit.

Now he stood in a S.W.A.T. shirt that hugged his body and showed off his muscles. You usually joked that he wore it to attract attention from the ladies, and he'd ask you if it was working, which would make you giggle.

Right now, you couldn't even think about laughing. You were waiting for the drugs that doctors gave you to kick in, hoping it would help your tired body finally rest.

"I didn't know you were awake," Hondo said, looking at you with sad eyes.

You hummed. "You wouldn't have come in here if you knew I was?"

"No, I just- I don't know," he said and came to sit beside you. He pulled the chair closer to your bedside and took your hand gently. He was struggling to see you like this, head bandaged up and weak. "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize," you spoke lowly. It was all you could really manage. "It's not your fault."

"Sure it is," he said, sounding so sure of himself as he said it. "If it wasn't for me working the case for find Filmore, he wouldn't have targeted you. He knew you that he could get to me through you and I shouldn't have let that happen."

"Hondo," you spoke, but he didn't seem to hear you.

"As soon as I was put on this trail, I should have done more to protect you. I should have-"

"This is all hindsight," you said, speaking a little louder to cut him off. He looked at you, feeling bad for making you do even that. "Besides, if not me, it would have been someone else."

He squeezed your hand. "But it was you."

You stared at him for a long time as silence fell over you two. It was a strange feeling, something about it making your stomach twist up. This was not the sweet silence you'd been all but begging for before, but a harsh, heart-aching one.

"Do not," you warned him. "Do not do this."

"What? What am I not doing?" he asked, trying to deflect.

You shook your head. "Do not end us because of this."

His eyes softened, revealing how hurt and tortured he was. He swallowed hard, trying to build those walls back up but he couldn't. Not so easily around you. Your name slipped from his lips and he sighed. "You're in danger as long as you're with me."

"Danger is everywhere, Hondo," you argued, taking your hand from his so you could sit up. If you were going to have this conversation, you weren't going to have it lying down. He tried to stop you, ease you back into a relaxed position, but you fixed him with a look that made him back off and sit back down. "I love you. Nothing is going to change that, especially not some psycho that had a bone to pick with law enforcement."

"As soon as he knew I was onto him, he took you to send a message," he told you, almost as if you didn't already know that. He was laying out the facts as if he was an attorney trying to prove a case, one against your relationship continuing. "I love you too much to let something like that happen again."

"So the solution is to break up? Give up everything you and I have because on this one incident?" you asked. As you got more upset, your heart monitor sped up in the background, but you didn't care. The pounding in your head got worse and you felt like you could fall over sitting there, but you carried on anyway. "I'm not gonna let that happen, Daniel. I love you too much to let that happen."

He stared at you, at a loss of words. It was only for a moment, a few small seconds, and he tried to speak, but a set of nurses came in to check on you after getting alerted to your vitals.

They came to your side, edging him out of the way to fuss over you. It wasn't a lot, mostly asking you to sit back and relax. They asked if you were okay and you nodded, telling that you were fine. Your primary nurse turned to Hondo and said he needed to leave, that you really needed your rest, and you wanted to protest it, but the other nurse kept you occupied.

He was ushered out of the room before you knew it and then you were alone with the nurses, who were going over your vitals and making notes. They promised to bring you water and a snack to help with your headache, but you didn't care about that.

You wanted Hondo back, but you feared he wouldn't return. You were scared that was the end of everything you'd built with him, that he'd said his peace. That is was done and over with even though it didn't feel that way.

New Chapter!

It's already the Boys' last day at Batuu. They are trying to catch a shuttle to the orbit soon, where Great 'A'Tuin waits. So they can celebrate Winterfest together with the Little Ones.

Poor Jack, Vlad and Ji Ho didn't get to see a lot from Batuu since they'd been 'indisposed' after they'd gotten arrested. So they split up for a second tour. Jack looked longingly at the Millennium Falcon: "Even though it had been traumatic down in the cell block, I don't want to leave..." Kiyoshi: "You can be so proud of yourself. How you handled being locked up. I was so worried I thought I'd faint too. I hope Sai will change his mind about disabling Tiny Can. He helped us a lot." Jack: "It's also thanks to you I survived it. Having you by my side again." Kiyoshi: "I hope one day you can fully accept me again - and I can make it up to you. For all the times I'd let you down and failed you." Jack sighed: "You didn't fail me - I can see that now. It's not your fault I'm a mess. Neither your responsibility. We might be fated mates, but I don't want to burden you. I'm a lot. I know that." And Kiyoshi knows he can't change Jack's mind and how he feels about them, they'd already discussed this. And he doesn't want to taint their last day here with heavy discusions, so he just said: "We will find our way, hm?" Jack: "We will."

Jeb and Sai passed by a little apartment complex and even though Jeb is not a Star Wars fan, he is amazed by the architecture here. And the vibes. He wishes he could live in one of those little apartments, together with Saiwa. But he also knows Saiwa needs his own place. Jeb still doesn't know how to continue their relationship and in which way they should go with their so different needs. Jeb wants Sai close but he can't woohoo him and Sai wants to woohoo him and needs his distance...

Seems Sai has the same thoughts as sad as he looks... Jeb: "We will find our way, hm?" Sai: "We will." Jeb is right. They just brought peace to Batuu by just sitting in jail, half of them not even conscious... They will manage this too. Soon they will be on board of Great A'Tuin again. And after they celebrated Winterfest, they will start their search for Tiny Can and the meteorites... and face whatever else awaits them out here. Lots of time to figure them out. Sai deeply inhaled Jeb's scent. He feels so save in his arms.

Ji Ho found another venue of the 'Escape from Batuu' book. The place where Val and Jino kissed before their escape.

Ji Ho: "Ehm..."

Courtesy of their dizzyness from the stun and shutdown, for once Vlad didn't overthink it and just went with the vibe - with a little kick from their Bond... And the guy in the background was lucky he got a glimpse of a Val and Jino moment :3

A few hours later, they all met at the Cantina. And while Vlad coaxed Jeb, Kiyoshi and Ji Ho to play Sabacc at a real Sabacc table, Sai and Jeb have a few questions for Hondo before they leave. Saiwa: "You told us the Book is fanfiction, but everything turned out as true..." Hondo: "What? That would be... Let me see." Jack showed him his copy again.

Hondo took a closer look this time. Hondo: "Huh, you're right! Jino and Master Ren, Val kidnapping Jino, you causing trouble in the whole galaxy... To be honest, I've never seen this book. Thought you were talking about the other books about you!" Jack: "The other books?" Hondo: "The lewd ones?" Saiwa lowered his voice: "There are lewd ones? About Val and Jino?" Hondo laughed: "Don't tell me you never heard of them? We really thought you'd written them yourselves! They're not just about Val and Jino. About Jino and Master Ren. Conny and Val... Any combination you can imagine. They are legendary! Everyone reads them!"

Jack is about to faint. A lewd book about Conny and Val? = Kiyoshi and Vlad! Had he and Kiyoshi not been together in that timeline? Saiwa's head is spinning - he doesn't even want to ask, but he needs to know. So with a thin voice he asked: "About me too?" Hondo: "Sure! We've all seen your laced panties!" Saiwa squealed: "There are even pictures?" Hondo: "That's the main reason we thought you wrote them yourself. Who else could have made those photos?" Ok, now Sai just wants to die from embarrassment, right here and now. And if Conny and Val were a ship in these books, in which ship was he? Whom did he show his laced panties? From the Sabacc table, Val shouted: "Hey, what are you talking about?" Jack and Sai: "NOTHING!"

As if on cue, the Little Goats and Kumo manifested. Until yesterday, they'd thought Batuu was boring and rather stayed at the ship with Skully, Malfoy and Axl, the axolotl. But they's secretly followed the Boys today. Watching Jino and Vlad kiss had been the highlight of the day - until now. It seems they found a little flea market stand.

Vendor: "How can I help you, guys?" Little Goat: 'Tell him we are looking for some very special books.'

Little Goat 'nudged' the Vendor's shin with his spiky horns and nodded his little head towards the book stacks... Vendor: "Oh - I see! Let me show you."

TMI: When I started the last chapter I was having a hard time deciding between 'Piglets is Space' and 'Goats in Space'. And now, that this space stuff expands, I'll divide it into two chapters - and i can have both! :3

'One, two, three, four

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall? It's the time that every Santa has a ball Does he ride a red-nosed reindeer? Does it ton-up on his sleigh? Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

MASTERLIST

Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Reader

Warnings: angst, fluff, spoilers for the mission in the movie, naval inaccuracies, alot of Rooster x reader giving sibling vibes

Sitting in my cabin on the carrier my leg was bouncing up and down it was only two hours until the mission took place. I hadn’t spoken to Jake since last night when I left him speechless on the couch and I had my dad pick me up early before anyone was awake leaving Daisy with a kiss on the forehead. Flashbacks to my conversation with Jake running through my head when the cabin door cracks open to reveal Bradley with a sad look.

“You okay in here Thena?”

“Brad, come in, yeah i am fine”

“Want to try that again?”

“Who told you?”

“Hangman actually, said something about a disagreement last night then said he hasn’t seen you since.” I nod lowly.

“It wasn’t a disagreement I just told him why I picked you and not him.”

“Ah yes he also mentioned that. You do know you are not replaceable to anyone especially not Jake and Daisy.”

“Did you just call him Jake?” Rooster cringed slightly with a laugh.

“That is beside the point, you aren’t. I know we haven’t spoken much since we got recalled but Athena you have to see what we all see, you are Daisy’s mother and Hangman is so in love with you.”

“And you are in love with Phoenix.” Rooster laughed and looked down at his hands.

“Yes I am, how about we make a deal, we both make it through this we tell Hangman and Phoenix how we feel.”

I laugh slightly “you know what, deal.”

“We are going to make it through this aren’t we?” Bradley ask in a sad voice.

“I am going to try my hardest to make sure you do.”

“I love you Y/N, we will get through this.”

“After all we have a few angels looking out for us, I love you too Bradley.” Bradley pulls me into a tight hug and kisses the top of my head before turning towards the door. 

“Bradley! When we are up there, Don’t think, Just do.” He nods and leaves my cabin. I fix up my uniform before grabbing my helmet and heading towards the flight deck, as I get there i can see everyone else next to their planes doing there checks, at the end i see Jake and Coyote getting there planes ready incase we need back up, Jake and I make eye contact, his eyes hold a sad look, I turn quickly to my plane starting to do the checks when i hear footsteps behind me. I turn to see Ice and Mav and Hondo standing there.

“Sirs, can I help you?” Ice doesn’t respond just give me a tight hug followed by mav and Hondo.

“Be safe and come home. We all love you.” Ice says and Mav nods before they turn around and head back to the control centre. 

“You have some people looking for advice Athena.” Hondo steps aside and I see Payback, Fanboy, Bob, Phoenix, Rooster, Coyote and finally Jake right at the back.

“Daggers, some of you may know but after this we are permanently becoming a squad, therefore whatever happens up there today, we stick together and we have each others backs to make sure everyone comes home. And if by some miracle we pull this off, beers are on me.” They all cheer at the laugh statement and start hugging each other. Phoenix and Bib hug me before we hear the announcement that we are to be taking off in less than 5 mins and that kills that laughter before we all look at each other before heading back to our planes. I climb into my jet Hondo following me up.

“I don’t like that look Athena.”

“Its the only one I have Hondo.”

“Mav only says that when he is about to do something dumb.” I laugh and so does he.

“Look after them Hondo, for me.”

“Always,” i nod it was one of the things i lkked about Hondo, he was a realist and never tried to pull the whole everyone will make it back speech. “you know everyone compares you to Ice but you really do have the best of your Dad, Ice and Mav, so fly like that today okay.” I nod as i start to close the canopy up.

“Dagger Three Up and ready” i hear Phoenix say through coms.

“Dagger Spare Up and ready.” Jake comes through next followed by Payback and Rooster. I take a deep breath.

“Dagger One, up and ready.”

“Daggers ready on catapult awaiting command approval.” I hear control centre thorough the comms, then we hear Cyclone.

“Send them.” With that we are launched off the carrier and get into formation, after descending below radar level, i give the all clear to release the tomahawks looking up as they fly above us. 

“Daggers into attack formation, enter point in Tminus 30secs, 2minute 30 second on the clock - entering now.” I press the timer on my dash as i hear the others confirm they have to as we enter the canyon. As we fly at pace I can hear in the comms that rooster is falling behind.

“Rooster you have to pick up the pace.” I yell into my comms

“Come on Dad talk to me.” As I am about to respond i bear Mav come through the comms.

“Come on kid, dont think just do.” Suddenly Rooster picks up the place as i fly under a bridge speaking into the comms to warn the others.

“You with me Phoenix?”

“Right behind you Athena.”

“Popping up in 10secs be ready on that laser Bob.” 

“All system check, Laser is a go.” Bob responds.

“Popping in 3,,,2,,,,1” i suddenly feel the force on my body as we pop up and level out heading towards the target, as Bob confirms he has a lock to the target  I drop my missiles and pull up on the joy stick, crushing weight of gravity as the G-Force gets stronger, i can hear the heavy breathing of Phoenix and Bob.

“Stay with me Phoenix, Rooster status.” I say through laboured breaths,

“Nearly there Athena. Fanboy have the laser ready.” I hear Bob yell that we had direct contact, simultaneously with Fanboy saying there is something wrong with the laser. He is going back and forth with Rooster until Rooster said he was dropping blind. I levelled out when i saw smoke in the air from the SAMs.

“Here they come guys, SMOKE IN THE AIR.!” I yell. With that chaos ensures everyone screaming at each other where the SAMs were coming from and what direction to break, i saw rooster with two SAMs behind him.

“Deploying counter-measures,,,SHIT I am out of flares.” I hear Roosters panicked voice through the comms.

“Rooster Evade Evade!” I yell back at him as i see he has come up behind me, without hesitation i pulled the throttle back soaring over the top of Roosters jet releasing the flares I had left before i felt an all too familiar jolt of a missile hitting the back of my jet and before i know it I am burning in plummeting towards the snow as I reach down below me and pull the ejection handle, quickly followed by the string to deploy my parachute before blacking out as i land in the snow.

Icemans POV

Everyone let out a sigh of relief when we heard through the radio the Rooster had hit the target. The mission had been successful. I hear Cyclone mutter under his breath now they just all had to get home. I looked at Maverick who look as nervous as i felt listening to our pilots yelling directions at each other in order to avoid the SAMs. I held my breath when I heard Rooster saying he was out of flares with two SAMs on his tail. I looked at Mav as we heard Athena yelling at him to evade, and i felt like i was about to pass out when Roosters voice came through the comms.

“ATHENA NO!!” Rooster screams

“D-dagger one is down” I hear Phoenix say her voice breaking slightly “I repeat dagger one is down”

I stumble backwards sitting down on the chair behind me looking at Maverick who has tears in his eyes, Hondo has his head in his hands and Cyclone and Warlock are speechless, before we can even really process one of the operates reports that there are bandits incoming, and Cyclone is telling them to come back to the carrier, like ringing in my eyes i can hear Rooster argue that they should go back for Athena and cyclone argues that they aren’t losing anyone else. A silent sob leaves my chest when i hear Jake through the comms

“Dagger Spare request permission to fly cover and search and rescue.” Hoarseness in his voice indicating that he too probably has tears streaming down his face like me and Mav who both are yet to say anything outloud.

Cyclone shakes his head at Jakes request. “Negative spare, daggers return to the carrier.”

“Sir, what about Athena.” Hondo says his voice slightly shaky.

“There is nothing we can do for her, not in goddamn F-18s” he shakes his head “I won’t lose anyone else today.” We all look down understanding his position.

“Rooster, don’t do it, she is gone.” We hear Phoenix over the radio.

“I am not loosing her, not today.”

“ROOSTER!!” We look at the screen to see Roosters jet going in another direction before hovering for a few seconds then disappeared on the screen much like Athena’s had done minutes before. Now Mav sat down next to me head in his hands.

“We certainly raised dumb stubborn kids.” I laugh slightly but can’t form a sentence, I pat Mav on the shoulder before walking out of the control room towards the flight deck. 

When I get to the flight deck I can see Jake sitting against the landing gear head in his hand and I go and sit next to him.

“We lost them both.” Jake looks up shocked.

“What do you mean both?”

“Rooster went down as well, I think he went back for her and got shot down.” Jake let out a sob as I wrapped my arms around him.

Y/Ns POV

I jolt awake in the cold snow and unclip my parachute before I turn around and hear the sound of a helicopter approaching. At first I thought that it may have been search and rescue then I saw their guns point towards me, without hesitation I start to run and I dive behind a log, accepting that this may very well be the end of me and I start to think of my parents, my dysfunctional aunts and uncles and finally Jake and Daisy and I smile at the thought they will be my last thought until I hear an explosion and look up to see that the helicopter is spinning out of control and there is one of our jets hovering, then I see smoke in the air and the jet tail is hit, I let go of the breath I was holding when I see a parachute land a few hundred meters away from me in the woods. I start sprinting towards where I saw the parachute land, as I get closer I see Rooster wrapping up his chute.

“Rooster, are you okay?”

“Athena, I am fine.”

“Good” I say as I shove him back into the snow. 

“What the hell Athena?”

“Me what the hell! You are meant to be back on the carrier by now Rooster what the hell were you thinking!”

“Mav taught us not to think, plus I made a promise to make sure you came home!”

“YOU WHAT! Who the hell made you promise that.” Rooster just raised his eyebrow at me “Jake of course, well news flash Rooster now we are both stuck!”

“They will send search and rescue.”

“No Rooster, they won’t, we have landed to far into enemy territory for them to risk it.”

“It is good to see you alive Athena.” “You too Rooster, you too.” I gave him a hug as I pull back I give him a look.

“I don’t like that look.”

“I think I have an idea, follow me.” After a walk we are perched on the top of a hill looking at the demolished airbase that our tomahawks took out earlier that day, I grab a mini telescope looking to see if there is any planes undamaged, “Bingo.”

“You have got to be shitting me Athena, a F-14”

“Hey Mav shot down 3 MIGs I one of those.”

“We don’t even know if that bag of ass can fly.”

“Only one way to find out.” I say as we start walking across the base towards the plane, Rooster pointing out people coming near us so we start to run to the plane. Once we get there I start explaining to Rooster what to do as I climb in the pilot seat, sighing with relief as it starts up and Rooster climbs into the back seat. 

“Do you even know how to fly this thing Athena.” “Rooster I knew how to fly one of these before I knew how to drive a car.” He just nodded as we got onto the taxi way, I look over to see the runway is completely destroyed, I start putting the wings out when I hear a panicked voice from behind.

“Why are the wings coming out Thena?” I ignore him as I push down on the throttle the plane speeding up as I do. I can hear Rooster stressing behind me. We gain speed quickly and just before the end of the taxi way i pull up of the throttle the plane jolting up along with it the landing clipping the ruin of a building snapping off.

“Get us in touch with the ship Rooster.”

“Any clue how to do that Athena?”

“Uhhh circuit breaker 2 I think.” 

“Thena there is over 300 switches back here”

“Figure it out Rooster it is in you blood.” I hear him mumble a complaint before his panicked voice breaks through again “tally two low Athena”

I tell Rooster to put down his visor and pull his mask up as the other planes pilot starts to make hand signals I barely recognise.

“What is your plan here Athena?”

“I don’t know yet, have you turned your beacon on?”

“Yeah I turned it on as soon as we were airborne.”

“I want you to punch out Rooster and then the ship will send search and rescue for you”

“And what about you huh? What are you going to do?”

“Rooster…”

“No Athena, if you think for one second that I am going to punch out and leave you to draw them away with a dog fight you are extremely wrong.”

“Rooster, you have to make it back.”

“Then do some of that pilot shit Athena, cause I am not leaving my sister to die up here.” I sigh heavily.

“Alright then, its a dogfight.”

[groovy-rat-man]

I'm giving every character in punch out wii all government assigned fursona, thank you @sadgreysheep

Oh and fyi I'm gonna be putting "self explanatory" next to every boxer named after an animal so yea

Little Mac - i wanna make him a bob tailed cat. I have no reason for making him a cat and no reason for making him a bobtail except OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED IT COULD BE A PUN ON BOB AND WEAVE IM A GENIUS HOLY SHIT WE'RE MAKING HIM A BOBTAIL CAT IM NOT LISTENING TO ANYONE (i forgot to add this but he's prolly a tortoiseshell or something idk)

Doc Louis - i googled two things while trying to find Doc's fursona, animals that are good dads and animals that can eat chocolate. Then I decided it'd be REALLY funny if an anthropomorphic dog was REALLY into chocolate so he's a rottweiler now.

Glass Joe - i feel like he'd be a finch or something, besides there is no WAY he doesnt already have hollow bones given his record and how light he is and all that

Von Kaiser - hmmmm.. I wanna say either some sort of sheepdog or a goat. I can't decide.

Disco Kid - fuck it, I'm making him a gecko. I literally have no reason to make him a gecko and I'm probably gonna think of something that makes more sense shortly after posting this but I wanna make him a gecko. Geckos are cool, okay!!

King Hippo - self explanatory

Piston Hondo/Honda - [insert image of that one sad Japanese frog drawing]

Bear Hugger - self explanatory

Great Tiger - self explanatory

Don Flamenco - tried to google natural predators of bulls but couldn't find anything that fit so I'm going with either a secretary bird (because they slay absolute penis) or an albatross because I googled "animals that love eachother" and apparently these guys keep doing their little courtship dances to eachother even after they get bird married and i think that's cute. He could also be a flamingo cause it kinda sounds like flamenco, that could work too

Aran Ryan - i couldn't think of anything so I googled "animals native to Ireland" and the second one was the red fox and I felt so so stupid

Soda Popinski - polar bear!! They live in Russia and also they're on soda sometimes! (Also i went to google to make sure that polar bears DID in fact live in Russia and apparently in 2019 they were just over running the place so that's cool)

Bald Bull - self explanatory

Super Macho Man - I almost completely forgot him but he's a bald eagle, baby! KAWWWW!!!!!! 🦅🦅

Mr. Sandman - I wanna say a ram because of that whole "counting sheep" thing ya know? I think that makes sense.

Anyways if any of yall have any suggestions or wanna throw tomatoes at me have at it I'm not gonna stop you

ONWARD | divergence act two

The door slid open. Wil entered, finding Beridin standing in front of the far window. He sighed. "Beridin, you can't be serious-" "About what this time?" She cut him off rather quickly. He stepped closer.  "About going off on your own- turning your back on us." "It's not like that Wil." Her shoulders lowered. There was a gap of silence. He scowled. "Then what is it?" "I'm protecting you." She persisted. He opened his mouth to argue, but she continued. "From this point on- I'm a liability. To the Resistance, to Cotton, Ire, you-" Her head hung lower. He caught her reflection just for a moment. "... People get hurt where ever I go." She finished. Wil shook his head. "After all we've been through... We can figure this out-" "We don't have that luxury!" Her voice raised, she finally turned to face him.  "This isn't about me. It's about Ryloth now- It's about the future of this galaxy." She searched him. Her purple gaze softened him.  "Please understand." Her tone shifted with this request. The Clone didn't break eye contact with her. She could feel his concern for her, it was making this situation difficult. He finally spoke.  "... I don't need protecting. I didn't have to stick with you, but I did. Because I believed in you Beridin, and everything you stood for. And because-" He swallowed.  "-Because I care about you. And so does Cotton, and Ireleth. We're family now- and once you have that, you just don't let it go." Beridin's face loosened as he began to approach her.   "I can't imagine what you're going through. But you don't have to do this alone." He stepped just a bit closer to her, enough to reach for her face. He took a thumb and wiped a single tear away.  Beridin's face twisted up again, and more tears followed. She rested her head against his chest, and before long they were wrapped up in each other's arms. The silence lingered for too long. Then she raised her head, and pushed herself away.   "I care for you too." She told him with heavy, unexpected conviction. "But because of that, my fate cannot be your burden to bare." She held herself. "I'm sorry." Wil's head hung. "Hondo will be waiting for you at the docks."

...

Beridin folded her arms behind her. She watched as her friends approached from behind her. Captain Ohnaka stood next to her. "Hello stowaways! I promise I'll make this trip quick and easy, then the rest is up to you."  Ireleth led the two Clones, turning to face Beridin. She took a long look at her friend, before stepping forward and hugging her. "This isn't the end." She whispered. Beridin hugged her tighter. She smiled at the Zygerrian, who smiled back, before heading for the ship.  Cotton stepped up next, and saluted her. She did the same back. "'Till we meet again, General." He promised. "I look forward to that day." She responded, and then wrapped her arms around him. He seemed taken aback, never one for hugs- but then to her surprise; hugged her in return.  "Good luck." He finished. She watched him go. It was Wiltshire's turn now. They both were silent, but then Wil began to speak, his voice shaky. "Karkan ka rol. (Forward, to the sun.)" The Clone recited. She could tell he was trying very hard to hide his sadness. It was making it hard for her to maintain her own composure. "Arsian tae ji ann. (Onward, by the moon.)" She finished the repartee, almost feeling the weight behind their words, and everything it meant to all they had been through together.  He forced a smile, his eyes were glazy. The ache in her heart and him saying much more could cause her to change her mind. She decided instead, it'd be best to stop him from trying. "Beridin I-" And without much hesitancy following, she kissed him. He jumped at first, but then completely embraced her.  Though it didn't last very long. "Alright, alright, lovebirds! I'm very sorry to split you up, but I run a tight schedule." Hondo, as he usually does, interrupted their moment. Beridin slowly pulled away, and smiled softly. "Thank you." She said just low enough for him to hear. Wiltshire stared at her. She had taken his breath away. "Come now, Captain." The pirate pushed Wiltshire away from her, and even then he glanced over his shoulder, following Ireleth and Cotton towards the ship. Hondo then looked to Beridin. "Thank you Hondo." She dipped her head. "Thank you, Jedi. A favor is a friendship to me." He held out his hand. She shook it firmly. He then turned and followed the rest of the group. "May the force be with you." She said under her breath. Watching as the ramp began to lift.  She caught a longing gaze from Wil, sad and distant. Her stomach tied itself in knots. She stayed on the dock, until the ship disappeared into the foggy night sky.

do you want me to lie, sir? pt.2

Jake 'Hangman' Seresin x F!Reader/F!MitchellReader

summary: jake has been busy with mav's stupid trainings. trainings disguised to keep him from you. t/w: implied smut 18+ please, soft!jake, soft!mav

Maverick has been keeping Hangman busy since the night he caught you coming out of his room.

Of course, Hangman thought the two of you were in the clear once you batted your big ol' eyes at your father.

Mav's got such a soft spot for you. His only child, only daughter.

"25 more, Lieutenant," Hondo tells him. Hangman internally rolls his eyes. Mav punished him to 75 push ups because it looked like he was going to leave his wingman.

**

Coyote and Hangman are leaning back against the bar waiting for their beers that evening.

"So, how are you and y/n?" He asks.

Hangman rolls his eyes, outwardly this time, since there is no one to tack on more pushups for the disrespect.

"Haven't seen her since that night," he tells Coyote.

Coyote's mouth pulls up in the corner, thinking about the chaos of the night. He was sad to have missed it. He hurriedly corrects his smile at Hangman's glare.

Penny sets the beers onto the counter and winks at Hangman. Of course Penny is in the know. Mav has probably been whining to her about it.

As Hangman turns back toward the pool tables, you make your entrance.

**

This hasn't been easy on you, either. You miss cuddling into those big arms. You miss his small kisses on your temple. The ones he gives without much thought. The simpleness of the intimacy makes your stomach jump.

Tonight, you dressed to kill. You can see it in the way Jake's eyes trail down your body from where he leans next to Coyote. You don't miss the gulp that goes down his throat either.

The black body con dress is working.

It isn't lost on you that your father is behind all the time Jake is spending away from you. You expected more from your cocky fighter pilot, though. Figured he be defying Maverick the first second he could.

But he hasn't. He's been respectful of it? Totally out of character.

Which is why you have to fight dirty.

You don't approach him, content to just watch him from the opposite side of the bar. His hand not holding his beer curls into and out of a fist, a la Pride and Prejudice style.

You allow your right eye to fall into a wink and then gesture toward the door. Not the front one. The one in the back. The one only you know about thanks to Penny. Jake answers your wink with a sensual smirk and murmurs something to Coyote before meeting you in the back.

Jake sandwiches you between him and the door. His strong body towers over you, heating you up all over. You reach behind you and turn the doorknob, both of you falling into the storage room.

Surrounded by bottles of liquor, Jake places his lips against yours and everything feels right in the world. Jake's hands rest on your hips, his thumbs digging in to pull you closer. You hook your arms around his neck and he follows by lifting you around his waist. He walks the two of you back against the door.

"Your father has been the absolute cock block," Jake tells you.

"Never say that sentence again," you giggle into his chest.

You never discussed your dating life with your father. You'd hope you'd just charm your way through it. Your father is still hellbent on assuming Jake is going to fuck something up.

"I know how guys like Hangman are!" he shouted once you followed him into the house. "Hell, I was Hangman!"

You crossed your arms. "So Penny doesn't need to be with you, then?"

Mav got that look on his face, the same one he gets when Cyclone calls him out on his bullshit.

The two of you didn't get farther than that, and your dad has kept Jake busy with pointless training exercises.

Jake pulls you back to the present by taking your lips in-between his teeth, gaining an unsolicited moan from you.

"Come back to the present with me, please," he says low against your ear. Your body reacts with goosebumps and a deep longing for the man pressing you against this door. "How good can it be inside that brain of yours when I am right here?"

"Oh shut up," you whisper against his mouth before deepening your kiss. You elicit a surprised groan from him as you grind against his erection. Allowing your hands to fall from his neck, you begin to fiddle with the button on his pants.

To hell with your fairytale first time with Jake.

Jake stops you. One hand on yours, the other keeping you around his waist.

"Baby, stop," he says quietly. That voice cutting through the noise in your brain. "You don't want to do it like this."

"But I want you," you tell him, feeling slightly rejected.

Jake leans forward, placing a soft kiss against your temple, calming you.

"Do you not want me anymore?" you manage to ask. Your voice small, hating that you let the question even leave your mouth.

Jake's finger comes under your chin, craning your face to look at him. "Believe me, stopping you from grabbing my cock is the hardest thing I have ever done." He kisses your temple again. That small reassurance fills you up. "But I know how important this is for you. I can't have sex with you in the middle of your stepmom's liquor stock."

You have to admit, seeing this soft side of Jake just makes you want him even more. If you'd been any other girl, he wouldn't have hesitated. But he did with you.

Because he loves you. Your brought back to that night. When he said it and you knew it was time. Time to take your relationship to the next level. It also hits you that you never got a chance to say it back to him.

"I love you, Jake," you whisper, laying your forehead into his chest. Jake chuckles into your hair.

"Take me home, Jake," you say. He sets you down and takes your hand in his. Carefully, he pulls the door open, and as he takes a step back out into the bar, he shoves you back in. Blocking you with his body, you can't see what's going on.

"Lieutenant," your father's voice says.

"Captain," Jake answers back, just as stoic.

"You hiding my baby girl?"

Jake squares up just a bit. "Do you want me to lie, sir?"

"I think that would be best."

"Nope."

Not being able to take this same song and dance, you poke around Jake.

"Maverick, you have to chill out." Your dad is taken back at the use of his callsign. He much prefers Dad or Pops.

You don't back down. "I am a grown woman. You cannot hate the people I date unless there is a legit reason I should be worried." You cock an eyebrow, silently asking Well, is there?

Jake stands behind you, letting you take control. Not wanting to dig himself into a hole. Mav can appreciate that. His little girl is strong enough on her own, and Jake knows this.

Maverick looks over your shoulder at Jake. "Hangman, if you hurt her, I swear--"

Jake cuts him off. "You don't have to worry about that." His hand encircles your waist from behind, pulling you into him. "I'm in love with her, sir."

This declaration softens your fathers eyes. It almost looks like he's going to cry?

Nah, Mav wouldn't cry over something like this.

Or would he?

You clear your throat. "We, uh, were just going to head out. Going to the, uh, house. You and Penny seem plenty busy here."

"To go watch watch movies I hope," he says, eyes sad and scared.

"Do you want me to lie, Pop?"

"That would be best, daughter."

"Sure, movies."

You grab Jake's hand and step around your father before he can say anything. Over your shoulder, you see him shaking his head before heading into the stock room for whatever Penny sent him after.

Chapter 3 - Pulse

This might be revised a little bit later, but for now I like it :) let me know what you think! - angelus_pulchrae 💕

Warnings: Violence, Foul Language, talk of abuse-death-and drugs, NSFW

2.6K+ words

“I am SWAT, bitch,” you say just loud enough for Ameila to hear. 

Rage courses through you as you hold yourself back from punching her in the face. Your hold on her wrists and head is strong as you push your body into hers so there’s no way she can fight back. She curses as the metal from the handcuffs bites into her skin, no doubt making them raw with every movement.

“What happened? Got tired of not being able to save enough children,” she laughs and the sound is hoarse, burning your ears. You growl and turn her around until you’re face to face with her. She sees the dark look in your eyes and the smirk she has starts to falter. 

You slam her into the car door and smile as her arms get pinned behind her, a feared look in her eyes as her breath hitches. You hear commander Hicks yell your name, hear Hondo commanding you to let her go, but you don’t care as you bring your face just inches from her and snarl, “You murdered innocent children’s lives for fun, made them experience true hell in their last breaths. If I ever, and I mean ever see your goddamn face again it will be the last thing you see.”

She swallows and then smiles. “Good thing I won’t be behind bars for too long.”

You clench your jaw, but refrain from doing anything stupid as you step away from her. Hondo and Street reach you, but it’s the look on Hondo’s face that screams disappointment that makes you walk away—not caring that Street calls your name or forces his way in front of you as you reach Black Betty. 

“Get out of my way, Jim,” you sigh, defeat evident in your voice.

“Not until you tell me what that was about,” he worries, but you refuse to meet his eyes as he dips his head. “I’ve never seen you lose your cool like that before.”

You swallow and walk around him. Taking the corner in Black Betty, you take your helmet and clear safety glasses off and let your head roll back, your eyes closing as you do. You push back all the emotions eating at you—telling you to go and finish what you had intended three years ago. 

“You ok?” Deacon’s voice invades your mind and it takes everything in you to not let the damn break free and show vulnerability. You were insanely attracted to him, but you still didn’t know anything about him and now isn't the time for swapping sad stories. 

You open your eyes and see the concern and questions swarming through his. He sits across from you, his knees inches from yours, but you don’t care. You don’t care about anything, only the sick smile that crossed Amelia Rodriguiez’s face. The sick smile that haunted you for three years as you remembered the innocent small bodies piled across the floor, needles stuck in their arms. 

  You blink and it’s the only sign that you heard him. He frowns and searches for something in your eyes, but just as he’s about to open his mouth, Hondo’s presence catches his attention. 

“What to explain to the rest of the team what that was about?” He asks as he and the rest of the team file into Black Betty. There’s a determined look on his face, but he stays silent as he waits for you to reply. 

You don’t.

He clenches his jaw and leans towards you from where he sits besides Deacon, his hands clasped together. Street is next to you and there’s a sad look on his face as he watches your every movement. “Why didn’t you tell us you were the detective on her case three years?” He asks, his voice softer than it was moments ago. His question gets the attention of everyone and the look in Street’s eyes pains you. 

You never told him why you had left Los Angeles all those years ago—why you had never reached out until you decided that after a year with your grandparents in Oklahoma was enough mourning. Because that’s what you had done, you had mourned all thirty-six children who had lost their lives to Ameila. Every time you had gotten close, another child wound up dead with a needle in their arm. Every time you had gotten a lead, another mother or father was mourning their child’s death.

After two years of chasing her, after two years of barely enough sleep to get you through the next day, you had gotten the lead you had been praying for just for her to slip right through your fingertips. Ameila had disappeared and the case went cold and that’s when you had decided that being a detective was worthless and that Oklahoma was where you needed to be. 

Street had called everyday for four months until he got the point and stopped, realizing that space was what you needed.

It was that year that you had decided that SWAT was where you needed to be, where change could really matter. You had trained everyday and night to get stronger, faster, smarter. You relied on your grandfather and his experiences in the wars he fought to train you. The cold cases you had been given and never figured out motivated you, but Ameila? Those kids? That was what made you fight until you couldn't breathe. 

“I didn’t realize it was her until she walked out that damned building,” you say between clenched teeth. You could feel your hand shaking, your mind screaming, but you blocked it out. “Nor does it matter.”

“It does matter, y/n. You’re apart of this team and if you would have compromised-”

“I don’t let my emotions get the better of me, Sargent. If you can’t trust me to do my job, then all this training has been pointless.” Your gaze is hard as you glare at Hondo, anger brewing like never before. “We would be having a much different conversation if I had.”

Hondo’s lip twitches as he forces himself to hold back his anger, but he lets it go. 

Deacon looks at you with an expression you can’t quite read and you don’t know if you want to. His eyes keep darting to you as the engine starts up, but you refuse to meet them, knowing you couldn’t handle whatever questions he had even if you wanted to.

You sigh and wait in silence as you head back to HQ, fighting back the storm that rages inside of you, begging to be let out.

Once everyone has left the locker room you slide down your locker and let the tears fall. You stare at the ceiling as every emotion closes in, wrapping around your heart and squeezing. A sob breaks through and you let it, not caring who could walk in at any minute. The silence is overwhelming and all your thoughts bundle together, telling you that you should have done more, tried harder to find her when you had the chance.

It’s dark as you walk outside and the cold breeze causes goosebumps to run up your arms and spine, but you welcome it. 

“It was never your fault…what happened to those kids,” Commander Hicks’s voice reaches you and you turn to face him. His face is blank as you’ve gotten used to, but his eyes and his voice are soft. “I wouldn’t have handled the situation as gracefully as you did today.”

“I’m sure many have had their first day’s turn out like mine,” you say, sarcasm dripping off your tongue. “Doesn't help that Hondo doesn’t fully trust me yet.”

“He trusts you more than you think. He’s hard on those he believes are worth it.”

You nod and break his gaze, swallowing hard. “You gave me this offer four years ago and I turned it down…everyday I wonder what would have happened if I would have just taken it sooner. If someone else would have taken over my job…the case. If all those children's lives would be...”

Hicks is silent for a long moment before he takes a step closer to you and puts a gentle hand on your shoulder. “What happened, happened…and there's not a damned thing you could have done. The only thing you can do now is fight like hell to make everyday better. Your grandfather has never spoken as highly of anyone else as he did you…and you more than proved it to me. He would be proud."

Your lip quivers as you meet Hicks’s gaze, but you don’t have any tears left to cry. Your grandfather had known Hicks when he was younger, had even helped train him in between deployments. Hicks had known who you were since you first graduated college and entered into the force, but he never acknowledged you or gave you special treatment—hell you didn’t even realize he knew who you were until he called you all those years ago. No one on the team knew he knew you before the academy and you were going to keep it that way. 

“I have him to thank for all of this,” you whisper.

Oh how you missed that old man.

“I’m not arguing. Just know that you always have people looking after you…talking to someone can do more than you think,” he says and pats you on the shoulder before walking to his own ride.

You stay in the same spot as he drives off, listening to the sounds of the city. There was something peaceful about the chaos…it's what you grew up in anyways. 

~~~~

The next day you're bright and early to HQ and more than surprised to find that you're not the only one. Deacon shuts his locker just as you walk through the locker room door and his eyes meet yours. Your breath hitches at his intense gaze as he comes to lean against the locker next to you. 

“How are you holding up?” There’s not an ounce of accusation or anger in his tone, just worry and it causes your heart to stutter. 

“Honestly? I have no clue,” you admit, surprised that you’re so open to him. “But better now that I’m here.”

He smiles and the sight consumes all your thoughts, consumes every part of you. “Good. And listen, about Hondo yesterday…he’s just worried about you. None of us would have guessed that something like that could have happened. I’m sorry it had to happen on your first day.”

You nod and put your bag in the locker, forcing your pulse to calm. This was the closest you had been to him since training and boy if you didn’t miss it. His chest expands with every breath and you have to force yourself from drooling at the sight of it. He crosses his arms and from the corner of your eye you see his muscles bulge, tightening around his already stretched shirt. 

You swallow as you turn and meet his dark eyes, cursing as you feel your eyes dilate. “I know, but that doesn’t mean I’m not disappointed in how I handled the situation. I was just so worked up,” you sigh and run a hand through your hair. 

He licks his lips and you focus on the movement of his tongue, following its path.  

Fuck. 

The things that tongue could do-

“You could have handled it worse,” he says, pulling you from your thoughts. You swear you hear his voice drop an octave, but you don’t get to mull it over as Luca and Tan walk in, laughter echoing in the closed space. You jump back, your heart racing as you watch them. 

“Man you should have seen the look on his face when you asked him that,” Tan chuckles to which Luca rolls his eyes. 

“Shut up,” Luca groans, but smiles as he sees you. “Hey. Good to see you up so bright and early.”

You smirk and let your voice drop just a little bit lower than usual. “And why’s that, Luca?”

His cheeks flare and he coughs, embarrassment written across his face. You hide your laughter at how flustered he is. Street may have told you a couple of nights ago about the small comment Luca had made about your beauty and you were using that knowledge on him now. “Wouldn’t have anything to do with my said beauty, now would it?” 

You walk out of the locker room and hear a round of snickers, but the heat that radiates on your back lets you know that one particular set of eyes are focused on you, taking you in. 

Walking up the steps to Hicks’s office you run into Hondo and your body tenses in preparation for what he’s about to say. 

He rubs his fingers before speaking. “I’m sorry about yesterday, I shouldn’t have called you out like that in front of the team on your first day. You did good, but if there’s ever a time where you're not in the right headspace about something, you need to let me or Deac know. One mess up can compromise the team.”

“I know and I apologize for the way I handled it,” you sigh and continue to walk with him until you reach Hicks’s office. “It won’t happen again, Hondo.”

“I know and I’m not worried it will,” he smiles, opening the door for you. The office is bright and warm, and the sight of Hicks makes your heart rate return to its natural rhythm.

“He’s here now, I’ll let him know. Thank you,” he speaks to someone on the phone before turning his attention to the both of you. “I have your next assignment and you’re not going to like it.”

“Protection detail?” You huff,  rolling your eyes at Hicks’s confession. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Not happening.”

“It is and the man asked specifically for you, Y/n. Any reason he would?” He asks, crossing his arms.

“I saved his life a couple years ago, but that's besides the point. Why SWAT, were not some damned bodyguards that famous playboy singers can use whenever they want,” you scoff. 

“The mayor thinks it will make us look better if we engage with the people’s choice. Whatever that means.”

Hondo steps ahead of you and finally enters the conversation. “These politics are starting to get old, Commander,” he says and clenches his jaw. 

Hicks walks around until he perches on the edge of his desk. “I don’t disagree, but there’s only so many battles you can fight and this isn’t one of them.”

“We have better uses than babysitting some popstar,” Hondo argues.

“Take that up with the mayor, because believe me I’ve tried.”

You sigh with your hands on your hips and roll your head until you're looking directly at the ceiling. You had saved Monty’s life after you found him bleeding out from a hit and run caused by a drunk driver. His life was fading from his eyes when you had reached him from a night out with some friends and had stayed with him until the ambulance had arrived. At the time you didn’t realize who he was, only caring about saving a life—it was later in the hospital when you had gone to check up on him that he told you who he was. 

He had flirted with you for weeks after, trying and failing to convince you to go on a date with him, but you weren’t interested in dating someone who would only break your heart a week later, nor was he your type. 

You had told him just that.

He had smiled and laughed it off, but had finally given up. 

“Did he say why exactly he wants us?” You ask, concern lacing your words. Although he was famous and had his own bodyguards, he had never been harassed to the extent of needing extra bodies. 

“He thinks there’s someone after him, constantly following him,” Hicks sighs and pinches his brow. “Don’t know if there’s any truth behind it, but it’s not going to hurt anyone by helping.”

Only your pride. 

“Then where do we meet Mr. Monty Taylor?”

Hi hey, howareyoudoin?

I miss Tech 😭 so wondering what’s your theory on him now that we got 5 episodes (or more if you see this later)?

Hello !!!! I am still inconsolable after the episodes, tbh.....

And I have TWO theories >:] I've narrowed it down.

The first theory is he's with pirates, having fun (specifically Ventress, actually- rather than Hondo) doing odd jobs to find a way to return to Pabu or his family, being on the run from the Empire isn't easy, he's a VERY STINKY LAD rn.... probably missing a limb or two, possibly some fingers, making his work much harder for himself !!!!

I think that would open up to them finding him when they find Ventress, and she takes them to Tech because she knows he's looking- he's very plain about how much me misses them, and she is SICK of hearing him complain..... she wants him off her ship, and AWAY from her. She'll toss him back home no problem

The second theory is he's this clone x. A re-educated clone with zero free will of his own anymore- both great for ansgt but SAD man.... I know the next two episodes are Infiltration and Extraction, which probably means Pabu is about to be invaded (meaning Phee !!!! My wife fr) but it ALSO means we get to see this clone x... who I wholeheartedly believe is Tech

It gives a lot of ammo for Hemlock and Hunter/Crosshair conversations..... because Crosshair refused re-education, and if he could have, we know Tech would have too. Holding the fact that Hemlock has one of their siblings still is SO something he would do as leverage. Dangle even the IDEA of him over their heads, making them question whether Crosshair knew.

And OH. OH THE SADNESS. Crosshair ripping the mask off of Tech just to confirm it's him, seeing him and holding him because he Knows. Knows exactly what his little (Tech being the baby brother is literally cannon to me atp...) brother has gone through and OUCH.

It also gives Crosshair, Wrecker and Hunter a bit of closure- no one died on their watch. Not a second time.

(Also, Phee beating the actual shit into Hemlock then turning to Tech and giving him a squeezy hug before saying "what sort of shit is this ?!?!? I TOLD YOU TO COME BACK YOU LITTLE-" "technically you told me not to run off with any pirates, which i did not—" "OH YOU JACKASS")

Though tbh, I'll take him in any format. I just want him to come home.... I miss him, they miss him, they want their little brother back 😭😭 I also really want to see Phee and Crosshair being friends, maybe even a small "Oh Tech told me all about you, he called you [inside joke]" "did he now?" I would genuinely weep.....
