i realize i never posted these boys
Tumblr media
these are my boys for my restaurant AU: "Have You Eaten?"
the basic premise is this: Y/N works a stressful job where keeping up appearances is paramount. They often treat their clients to a meal at their favourite restaurant, run by the DCA boys—the nutrition-conscious chef Sun, the sweet and friendly chef Moon, and the charming front of house Eclipse. Y/N always orders something small and light so they can focus on talking with their client and maintaining appearances—nothing too large, nothing messy, nothing indulgent. Then after the meal, they walk their client to their car and they wait for their client to leave. Secretly, Y/N is a glutton. Once their client leaves, they hurry back to the restaurant, where their true meal is hot and ready for them.
Eclipse: Welcome back, Starlight! Ready for your second course?
Moon: Do you wanna skip straight to dessert? I tried a new recipe for donuts!
Sun: No. The hour is late, you should have something simple and adequately filling before bed.
Eclipse: Or... maybe you're interested in something "off the menu?"
they're a silly bunch (:
some other notes under the cut
the title is "Have You Eaten?" which is a common greeting in multiple languages. There's something warm about being greeted with this check-in to make sure you that have taken care of your body.
the restaurant is mostly based on a Hong Kong style cafe (a cha chaan teng) but the specials change often and often branch into other types of dishes and cuisines, because the boys like to experiment with new recipes.
Eclipse does have 4 arms, but he usually hides his second pair away because he's found it disturbed customers.
they can eat as an alternative method of recharging, and they can turn off their taste buds. Sun in particular has a bad habit of eating food scraps.
the DCA's relationship with each other is... complicated? They don't exactly like each other but are forced by their code to remain within a certain distance to each other. So they begrudgingly work and live together and cause trouble for each other's lives.
despite having separate bodies, their code forces them to stay within a certain radius (1515 feet, or the approximate distance between the 2 furthest points of the Mega Pizzaplex). They wear clip-on earrings to extend the range whenever they need extra space (usually Eclipse, hence why he has so many).
Eclipse is the oldest—he was built first for the theatre. Many years later, Eclipse was moved to the daycare to entertain children. But since they were short-staffed, Sun and Moon were built using Eclipse's code to help him at the daycare.
their pizzaplex was left to ruin and the three of them got out and were picked up by an old chef, who took them in and taught them everything he knows before leaving his restaurant to them and passing away.
i would like to write something for this AU. The main story still needs some work, but I have a lot of little drabble ideas that I might write. Or maybe it will be an AU full of drabbles. That's a possibility too. Although I would like to explore stories with other y/ns, like one who is a picky eater, one who has a lot of food allergies, etc.
also head's up: innuendos. innuendos everywhere. (most of which are Eclipse's fault)

Leo Valdez headcannons - fluffy version
————————————————————
Gender neutral reader
When dating Leo Valdez you are 100% his favourite person and biggest priority
He’s always looking for you and wanting to be with you
Leo will look to share everything with you, new snack? He needs to share with you, someone says something funny? He needs to tell you about it.
When anything funny or weird will happen he will always look to you and you to him
He loves when you play with his hair
Leo will play with your fingers/hands
Instead of buying you flowers, he will make you flowers out of scrap metal. Every anniversary, birthday, Christmas,etc you get a different type of flower
Leo acts all confident but this man cannot take a compliment
Call him pretty or say he did something well and he will blush and tell you to stop, to shut up if he has too
If you are a reader, painter, collector, music lover, baker/cook, or have any hobbies that involve certain objects, Leo will go out of his way to find you a little something to go with that
Leo always looks shocked when you get him anything
He will be in absolute shock if you get him flowers, he’ll play it off but will definitely keep them forever
He will watch Disney movies (the old ones) with you and he loves them
Leo is a diehard fan of cheesy rom-coms
You will find him doing things that he’s seen in the movies
He’ll run and hide if you point it out
If you are someone that’s quick with comebacks or just witty comments he will have fun just bantering with you
He tells you all about his time in foster care
You comfort him and make him feel loved
He is your #1 defender at all times
Anyone says anything about you and smokes coming out of Leo’s ears
He will however make the worst jokes about you and find them absolutely hilarious when they land horribly and you stare at him like:😑
He is surprisingly good at drawing
In his workshop doodles and sketches of you are everywhere, on sticky notes on the walls, scratched into tables, the corner of blueprints, just about painted everywhere with ink
He will get grease all over his face and arms and forget about it
Leo will then shove himself into your arms getting you both dirty
Once you two get closer and further into the relationship he is the most comfortable person ever, I mean saying every thought he’s ever thought to you comfortable
Like he’s comfortable enough to wake you up in the middle of the night just to tell you about some weird dream he had
He 100% pursued you
Leo saw you, knew he wanted you and went after that
He was nervous but he got Annabeth to help him come up with a way to start a conversation
If he needed to he definitely chased you
He grovelled for you, begged for just one chance
You might’ve just been entertaining him at first, then you realize that Leo is the most dedicated person ever
He is the definition of dedication and devotion
Leo won’t even think of another person if he’s with you
He will be your best friend
One thing about Leo is that he will do anything, and I mean ANYTHING with you
You want to go out? He’s down, you want to go get a snack then walk around? He’s already there, you want to go see a movie? Leo already bough the tickets.
Even activities less suited for him, like museums, library dates or spa days. Basically, any calm activity, he will still put the effort in to stay still and silent
And you do the more crazy, energetic ones, even when your not 100% for it
If your having a bad day, he will come in and do one simple act of kindness that will give you the strength to continue the day
For example, during lunch you will accidentally drop your bite of food from your fork and then put your head in your hands done with the day. He will laugh a bit, then get a napkin to clean it up
You’ll do the same for him
Leo is always dropping kisses onto you
Not specifically your lips or even face, if he’s leaving a room he’ll drop a kiss onto your shoulder than leave
Neither of you are big on PDA, hate it actually
But he will find a way to do casual touches that portray such emoting
He will drag his nails over your back and just give you nice rental scratches everywhere
You guys will listen to each other talk about your interest even when you have no idea what the other is talking about
He steals all the blankets and you will absolutely turn over at night to see him on your pillow
Makes your tea/coffee/any drink the best way ever
Casually drops the most beautiful, thoughtful sentences ever then just leaves
Like words that will stay with you forever
He’s always tapping “I love you” onto you
You learn Morse code and now you communicate through it when you’re around others
He has finally found someone that will put him first and whom he can share an intense, loving connection with
Leo is no longer a 7th wheel and will never be again

Should I do a NSFW or angsty version? Let me know!

Mycelium Menace
Well, first time writing hermitcraft g/t, and I’m still pretty nervous! I hope you enjoy it anyway :D
@arc852 hi I’m that sparkly anon who offered you cookies here it is
Word count: 1,266
. . .
Well, the humans, who had taken to the name ‘hermits’ instead, so that is what we’ll call them, think the two are ghosts. Ghosts who left sticky notes for reminders or shopping requests, ghosts who took random small items with no explanation, ghosts who found lost keys and earrings when needed. Which they just accepted, and moved on with, so that already gives you some idea to what these hermits are like.
The hermits just… Hadn’t been surprised in the slightest from what they thought was paranormal activity, since any person, living or dead, who had the guts to stay anywhere near the place, must be pretty brave. After all, the amount of fires, pranks, wars, redstone, and summoning rituals that went around, meant that most people wouldn’t touch the place with a ten meter pole. Honestly, it was likely that one of the hermits had accidentally summoned the ghosts and they just couldn’t leave.
Since the two ghosts hadn’t destroyed or taken anything of too much value, they counted as friends. Sorry, the ‘so called’ ghosts. The hermits had never seen these ghosts, and the conclusion they had drawn was inaccurate.
Grian and Scar weren’t ghosts. They were borrowers, but it was obvious no one had guessed that. No one was supposed to know what borrowers were!
What were borrowers then? Borrowers were… Well, think of fairies. Remove the wings, the magic, the fake, naive, fantasy aspect to them, and make them live in the walls. They ‘borrowed’ things from humans, taking stuff they wouldn’t miss. Scraps of food, bits of cloth… The bare minumum to live, to survive.
They weren’t supposed to get found, seen or caught, but those rules, the Code, hadn’t said anything about leaving sticky notes out. Even if that technically showed the humans they existed. Even if Grian kept getting tangled in the sticky notes. In case you were wondering, he was a bit shorter than one, unlike Scar, who was significantly taller.
And true, it was a lot more terrifying than most human houses to live in, but there was stuff that would go unnoticed if taken everywhere. And it was so much more fun, more exciting. Oh! And the fact they could actually ask for their own food from the heavenly place the hermits got their food from, called a ‘super market’, which was the best thing in existence, also significantly benefitted them.
Everything had been going great for them so far. Nothing had had any reason whatsoever to be changed. Everyone was perfectly content with the situation at hand.
…Until Grian started planting mushrooms, that is.
Scar didn’t understand from where Grian had gotten mushroom spores, and at this moment, he didn’t want to know. But now there were purple mushrooms growing all over the little room in the walls that he called home, and something needed to be done about it. Especially since they’d started growing in the hermits’ apartments as well.
First he’d complained to Grian about it. Grian had listened carefully as Scar explained about the inconvenience of it all, the danger of maybe getting caught, and the sheer reason that he didn’t like mushrooms. His friend had told him to hold out his hands. Then he’d dropped a mushroom in them.
That was where Scar had drawn the line.
He had paced the floor of his mushroomified abode, muttering and thinking. It hadn’t been the first time they had pulled pranks on each other, having stuck together for over ten years now, and they’d been inspired by the residents of the apartment complex they lived in, but Scar had a feeling this was going to be a little more extreme than your typical scheme or trick. This would be a prank war.
A war. He liked the sound of that. And from what little Scar knew about wars, he knew that he needed recruitment to help him win.
So the next day, several hermits woke up to a blue sticky note on their desks. The groupchat, which, while supposed to be used for important things, ended up being literally anything anyone thought was interesting, discussed this.
. . .
XisumaVoid: [insert image] anyone know what this is?
FalseSymmetry: I got one of those too!
ImpulseSV: I haven’t… Can’t read the writing in the image. What’s SG saying?
Mumbojumbo: Who’s SG??
ImpulseSV: Scar Ghosts!
MumboJumbo: Is Grian GG then…?
ImpulseSV: …
XisumaVoid: It reads: Mayor gtwScar needs YOU to stop the mycelium that’s spreading throughout the apartment complex! The ~bor~ ghost known as Grian is the one causing this spore infestation, and that needs to be FIXED immediately! Sign below if you agree and want to join:
XisumaVoid: I think I know why some of the hermits haven’t gotten one… he’s picked smartly
BdoubleO100: Yeah, I see it clear as day!
RenDog: Hey! Rude
ZedaphP: Hi! Why have only some people got a letter then? (Won’t sign mine because my house is still recovering from the last prank war we had)
BdoubleO100: Because MOST of you WANT another war instead of peace and prosperity from our amazing ghostly mayor!
ZedaphP: Thanks!
StressMonster101: Wait who’s mayor? Xisuma??
CubFan135: Scar is apparently
TangoTek: eyyyyyyyy war!!! Are we only fighting G-ghost?
ImpulseSV: Why are you on Scar’s side!?
XisumaVoid: Judging from past experiences Tango, no.
GeminiTay: I know I haven’t officially moved in yet but why can I see a window burning? Standing outside btw, can someone let me in?
XisumaVoid: That’s a good question Gem
XisumaVoid: I don’t know
RenDog: Be right there Gem!
XisumaVoid: @DocM77
DocM77: Don’t put it out! It’s all part of the process!
GeminiTay: …
XisumaVoid: …
MumboJumbo: …
FalseSymmetry: Meeting dismissed?
XisumaVoid: Right. Meeting dismissed.
. . .
While Grian didn’t have access to the Hermitcraft groupchat (as it had been dubbed), being a bit on the small side to use phones, he did know Scar was up to something. And he definitely noticed the removal of his beautiful mushroom gifts in some of the hermits’ apartments. What did Scar take him for, some kind of fool?
It had taken a couple of eavesdropped conversations to figure out the gist of it, but only once he’d found one of Scar’s extra sticky note copies did he properly understand what was going on. His eyes shined, reflecting the chaotic fire that had begun to burn inside of him.
Scar wanted a war with the mycelium? Then Grian would happily oblige. Jimmy would be glad to know the spores of his had not gone to waste. And if the next day, several handpicked hermits received their own special sticky notes? That was none of Scar’s concern for now. Grian was ready for a resistance. As he grabbed some supplies to go borrowing, as he was beginning to run low on some items like string, and oh, some paper clips would be nice, he heard voices on the other side of the wall. Voices who were discussing the right kind of thing, not whatever Scar was calling his thing, the HEP or whatever. Voices that were discussing the mycelium, and in a good way too.
Grian was ready for a resistance. And as he shouldered his satchel, he knew the hermits were too.
. . .
I should tag my taglist………
@i-am-beckyu , @da3dm , @brick-a-doodle-do , @faeiyn-cant-write , and please tell me if I’m missing you or you want to be added!

Platonic Yandere Lyney Thoughts
Just a little think piece abt what I think Lyney would be like as a yandere, and what I think would make a him a yandere. Small Lynette cameo. Repost cause the last one disappeared so sorry. PT 2 here!
cw: soft yandere, kidnapping, child!reader, gn!reader
Platonic and soft Yandere Lyney who really wants to feel like a good big brother. His siblings are both House of Hearth members, doing dirty work for the Fatui, so he knows he failed somewhat with them. But you?
The adorable little street rat that sneaks into the crowd to watch his shows, wide eyed and amazed? Who jumps and can’t help but giggle when he shows off even the simplest of card tricks? You just look so… starved. Like a baby bird without a nest. Easy to scoop up and take home.
He wanted to be your savior. The one who you look up at with admiration, amazement. “How did you do that, Mister Lyney!”
In front of you, he didn’t feel like a mistake of a brother that failed to save his siblings from this life.
If only you just came home with him. Every time he offered dinner, or invited you around to watch a new magic trick of his, you refused. He supposed he couldn’t be mad, stranger danger and all that. He knew better than anyone else. As days passed and he continued to watch you hungry, searching for scraps while he had a house full of food. It broke him.
Maybe thats why he followed you back to your little hideout.
You didn’t notice, after all, what match was a street rat against a master of diversion? The hideout was tucked in a thin alleyway, hardly wider than him, behind some shops not too far from home. The rooftops of the nearby buildings shielded you from the rain as you huddled in what could only be described as a nest—formed from ratty old blankets and the rare trinket or clothing item you undoubtedly stole.
Lyney sighed, gathering you up in the dirty quilt you clutched and holding you in his arms. “Lighter than you should be… poor thing. I’m taking you home now kid.”
You didn’t move, just laid in his arms, but he hoped warm glow of his pyro vision was soothing to your freezing body.
Lynette was awake when he came through the door, you in his arms. Immediately, her sharp eyes fell to the child in his arms, and she just sighed. “I suppose this is what you set the guest bedroom up for?”
“Oh come on Lynette.” He said, an edge of excitement in his hushed tone. “I couldn’t just leave them. Anyone could have come by and snatched them up!”
“Evidently, someone did. You.”
“They’ll be better off with us.”
“They don’t know that. They won’t. For months, even. Are you prepared for that?” Lynnette said, sighing when Lyney nodded. “Oh well, you seemed so set on this. I installed key operated locks on the windows throughout the house while you were away. You already did but I figured everywhere would be more helpful in case they escape their room before they’ve settled.”
All at once, Lyney untensed, a look of pure relief washing over his face. He honestly didn’t know what he’d do had Lynette rejected their new sibling.
“Thank you Lynnette, you’re always such a help.” He smiled over his shoulder at her as he carried you to off your new bedroom.

Not Quite A Life Debt - 3
A handful of f reader insert scenes with m demonic love interests. Fluff, hurt/comfort, and smutty shenanigans that lean kind of poly.
You (kind of unnecessarily) tried to save Ludwig’s life. Out of pity, he lets you crash at his place for a few weeks after. It probably wouldn’t be so bad, but he doesn’t live alone. Reader stays with the triplets until she gets back on her feet. Smut, family shenanigans, and possibly even romance ensues.
Mervin is kind of crabby after his heat he gets sick. You begin searching for employment. And Ludwig helps you out on a high pain day. 5900 words.
Content warnings for this chapter include: mild isolation, some blame from the resident pride demon, pain and sickness during menstruation, the briefest and undescribed animal death (Obie eats a pigeon), and smut.
Smut warnings include: consensual fingering and groping whilst menstrating, brief joking/discussion of menstural oral (does not actually occur), soft stuff that turns a little rough, unintentional and unplanned breath play (hand over mouth), nonconsensual biting (from both parties), dry humping, semi-public sexual stuff, lack of aftercare because of an interruption.

Masterlist - A03 - Previous
Tumblr media
You get used to living in Perdition.  
Well, it would be more accurate to say you get used to living with Ludwig and his brothers. You’re not allowed to leave the house by yourself; the triplets make no secret of the fact that they live in a bad neighbourhood – a bad ring, as Ludwig puts it.  
It’s frustrating, but you don’t doubt them. It only takes a few brief tours around the area for you to understand. You attract stares everywhere you go. Leers, really. And watching what demons do to each other (both strangers on the street, and the brothers among themselves), you hate to imagine what they might do to a human. 
It’s as if everyone here speaks several additional languages that humans just aren’t fluent with (literal infernal aside). Greed. Hunger. Violence. The first time you watch Mervin and Ludwig descend into a proper argument, you’re horrified. Nothing you’d seen at home – and you were no stranger to domestic scraps – could prepare you for it. Teeth and claws and broken furniture. Mervin draws a gods-damned weapon. You’d seen people fight before. But not like this. You’d dismissed yourself and locked yourself in the spare room the first time it had happened.  
Obie had dragged the two upstairs by the horns and made them apologise for scaring you. 
It’s not the only thing you notice. You don’t put your finger on it for a while. It takes several outings with the triplets, several more incidents and scraps before you start to suspect another key difference between demons and humans.  
It has something to do with their priorities. Their sense of self. Their interactions within a community. Humans aren’t selfless, by any means. But bonds form fast between them. Connections are quickly made, common goals are easily worked towards, and interconnectedness is practically built into our genes. The human instinct for empathy, to help those around us, to lean on each other for support – it's as if demons lack it.  
It truly is survival of the fittest for them. You suspect that if a demon can’t survive alone, they won’t survive at all. You see it in the way they think of themselves first. How Obie might reach for your food, before hesitating. Or Mervin opens his mouth to speak, before thinking better. That consideration, cohesion are learned traits. Conscious choices to practice, and not instinct.  
It scares you more in strangers. That the curiosity is not the first thing demons look at you with, but hunger. You’d feel like prey if you didn’t watch them do it to each other too. Like every person is a mark; looked at with the question ‘what can I gain from using you’ before asking something more basic, like ‘who are you’.  
Long story short, you don’t mind keeping to the house. 
The first time you go anywhere without them, it’s to Sloth, to stay with Katia. The circumstances are odd. Mervin had just come back from one of his extended trips. He’d strode through the door, seen you in the lounge and frozen for a moment, before stamping straight to his bedroom, and shutting the door with a slam. Ludwig had come home early that day and explained that Mervin was sick and needed the house to himself for a week. 
It didn’t make sense to you. But what did you know? Mervin was almost never around. You didn’t know what he was like when he was sick. Still, the hesitation when Ludwig had explained the situation, the look he shared with his mother when he dropped you off at her place – it led you to suspect that a key piece of information was being kept from you.  
It fills you with paranoia. But Katia is lovely. Spending time with her helps ease the anxiety in your chest. Most of her hours are spent at work or sleeping, but the moments of lucidity she spends with you are enjoyable. She shows you how to cook a few new meals. Lets you go through her photo albums and look at baby pictures of her sons. On the weekend she even takes you clothes shopping, and for the first time in almost a month you feel at ease, wearing clothes that you’ve chosen for yourself.  
When Katia returns you back to the common ring, Mervin is still home. He’s currently your least favourite triplet, but you make an effort to smile. “Feeling better?” 
He scowls, and you’re surprised at the amount of vitriol in his expression. “As if that’s your business.” 
You try not to visibly deflate. 
Katia tsks and frowns at her son. She pats you on the back. “He’s just embarrassed, sweetie. Don’t you pay him any mind.” 
She gives you a peck on the cheek before leaving, and sound of the door closing sends a wave of dread through you. You really don’t want to be alone with Mervin. 
But when you turn his expression has softened. If only marginally. He tilts his head. “She likes you.” 
You’re not sure what to say. You shrug as you take your shoes off. “We had fun.” 
You feel his stare on you, even as you cross the room. You head towards the kitchen, hoping for something to eat.  
“She bought you clothes.”  
His tone is almost accusatory. You can’t help but flush, shame starting to weigh on you. “She’s very kind.” 
To your dismay, he follows you to the kitchen. He crosses his arms and watches when you pull out the materials for a sandwich. Uncomfortable, you ask, “Do you want one?”  
He scoffs. “How long are you going to keep eating our food? Wearing our clothes?” 
You don’t let it show, but his words strike deep. You’re more than aware of the position you’re in. You cast your eyes towards the task at hand. Prepping food. “I don’t like it either. But it’s kind of hard to find a job when I’m forbidden from leaving the house.” 
He crosses his arms. “Excuses.” 
 “Did you want to escort me to Earth every morning?”  
“Now you’re asking us for transport too?” 
You’ve had enough. It’s either cry or snap. And you are not going to cry in front of Mervin. Instead you slam your knife to the counter.  
“I didn’t ask for this. I did not ask to be shunted from place to place my whole damn life. I’m sorry if that inconveniences you,” your tone is in no way apologetic.  
He’s silent as you leave. 
Immediately upon returning to your room, you regret the encounter. The last thing you need to be doing is antagonising your benefactors. But still. Ludwig was the one who invited you here, and if Mervin has a problem, he should be taking it up with his brother. 
-- 
You finally get a new job.  
It’s not without its difficulties – transit mainly. One of the triplets has to take you through a series of rifts. One to Earth. One to continent you hail from. Another to a large town. Ludwigs talks about establishing a proper route, about using the most stable rifts, and being prepared for a disruption to travel if any of them close. There’s a lot of jargon you don’t really understand. But he gets you back to Earth. Back to ‘gainful employment’.   
Mervin straight up refuses to be your escort. He’s not around enough anyway. Ludwig handles it most days, but Obie is always available to fill in when Ludwig is busy elsewhere. Neither seem to mind your spotty hours. You tell the triplets when you start and finish, and they’re usually able to have you delivered on time. 
Sometimes you take an afternoon for yourself. Spending time in a human city is good for you. You visit a library. Buy yourself necessities. Even do some grocery shopping. Nobody seems to fault you for it, and Mervin certainly complains less when you start bringing home your own food.  
And so you fall into the new routine. Working four to six days a week. Ludwig or sometimes Obie walking you there, chatting about your day or your plans. Finally starting to feel at ease in their home, now that you’re less of an imposition.  
You’re a shift worker, usually working mornings at a cafe. Your customer service is without fault and you know how to use a coffee machine. It was enough to get you the job. That and your eclectic resume. 
There’re still moments that throw you off. Behaviours from the triplets that take you by surprise, or the occasional week when you’re banished to Katia as one of them comes down sick with something. The three of them are rarely united about anything, but they all seem intent on keeping you in the dark regarding that odd ritual. 
One morning you wake up and are immediately torn over whether or not you should go to work. It’s a little late to call in. And Obie had already promised to take you. But your underwear are saturated with blood and your gut is torn up in cramps. Your period isn’t usually this bad, but you can already tell that today is going to be a hard one. 
You decide to suck it up. It’s just a bit of cramping. Of pain in your joints. Sure, it’s nauseating, and it takes a few minutes before you can stand and walk without limping. But you’ve done this before, and you can do it again. You didn’t survive this long by flaking out of work when things got tough. 
You almost miss the odd look Obie gives you as you head downstairs. Perhaps you mistake it for sympathy. You wear a grimace and make no effort to hide your discomfort. Still, Obie doesn’t say much on your way to work. He seems distracted, focusing his attention on the details around him, often picking up items to chew on.  
You try not to gape at the number of small things that disappear as you pass. A handful of bark flakes from a pot plant. A table number at an outdoor cafe. A pile of junk wrappers from his pockets. (Garbage from the pavement. A handful of leaves and twigs and flowers from any trees you pass. An actual bird that doesn’t have the fortune to flee in time.) He’s not hidden his gluttonous habits from you, from what you can tell, but today he consumes far more than usual. You wonder if he’s unwell.  
You put it out of mind when you get to work, saying your goodbyes and clocking in for the day.  
You don’t last long. It’s probably only an hour or two before you’re curled up on the couch in the break room, banished there after the manager spotted you limping. She tells you to go home. You’re torn between humiliation and gratitude. You send a message off to Obie.  
Unwell. Can you bring me home early? 
He sends you a thumbs up and you’re left to wait. 
His behaviour on the way home is almost distraction enough from your pain.  There’s pretty much always something in his mouth; this time he’d brought food from home with him. You watch curiously as he pulls out several sticks of gum when his food is gone. He only chews for a moment before he’s swallowed them too. It’d almost be funny if he didn’t seem so distracted. Ravenous to a degree which you’ve never seen. 
��Are you alright?” You ask at one point. 
He finally glances your way. Shrugs. “Smelt something tasty.” 
The explanation makes sense, if a little understated. You give him a sympathetic nod.  
Obie drops you off at the door before mumbling his excuses and leaving.  
You make a beeline for the lounge, planning to lay down and watch some tv. You grimace as you round the corner – Ludwig is already sprawled across the couch. 
“Is there room for me?” 
“Thought you had work?” He doesn’t quite straighten, but he does change his angle, leaving enough space for you to squeeze in beside him. 
Carefully, you do. “I was sent home sick.” 
Ludwig tenses and turns your way.  “You smell like blood.” 
You grimace.  
You know that demons have superhuman senses, and that such things are normal to them. But you still can’t help but feel self-conscious around them. Every time your heart speeds up, or your breath hitches, you have to wonder if anyone notices. If anyone overanalyses it. If they can tell when you forget to wear deodorant or can smell your lunch on your breath.  
You’d go crazy if you let yourself worry about it too much. After moving in with the triplets you decided to believe that they might notice these things, but they likely wouldn’t care. The same way you’d react if you saw a customer with a large zit, or a coworker having a bad hair day. You choose not to make a big deal about the things people can’t change. 
But if Ludwig is going to bring up the little details, if he’s going to speak without tact, why should you? 
“Probably because I’m bleeding from my vagina.” 
Ludwig winces. “Oh. Oh.” He snorts. "Guess that explains his behaviour.” 
“I don’t follow.” 
Ludwig gestures to the door. “Obie. Your blood. The smell.” He shrugs. “Delish.” 
Your nose crinkles. “Gross.” 
He grins. “I thought humans loved the blood drinking gimmick. Ya’ll go mad for vampires.” 
“Pop culture aside, I doubt many of us want to consider period blood in that context.” 
“Why? Blood is blood.” 
Your lip curls. “It’s different. Different composition. Different texture... Full of waste products... I really don’t want to think about it.” 
“I’ve seen that demon eat literal garbage. I don’t think he’s worried about your waste products.” 
“Don’t say it like that.”  
He doesn’t get a chance to tease you further, straightening when another series of cramps has you tucking your knees to your chest, gripping your abdomen to ease the pain. 
“You alright?” 
Your reply is hoarse. “Just peachy.” 
He touches his hand to your back. “What usually helps?” 
“Heat pack. Pain killers.”  
“I can have Ob bring some home. What else?” 
You clutch a cushion to your chest and rest your head against the couch end. “It’s fine. It’s just pain. I don’t want-” you stop. Restart. “You don’t need to do anything else.” 
Your eyes spring open when Ludwig grabs a fistful of your hair. Starts tugging on it. Gentle tugs, reminiscent of schoolyard teasing. Until a sudden yank that leaves your scalp stinging. 
“Ow!” Impulse has you slapping his hand away. “The fuck is your problem?” 
His voice doesn’t hold a drop of concern: fastidiously sweet. “Sorry, did I hurt you?” The tone drops and becomes resolute. “You should let me make it up to you. Tell me how to make you feel better.” 
You scoff at the ploy. “There’s nothing to do. Unless you want to spend the next few days waiting on me.” 
He pinches your cheek. “What, you want some coddling?” 
You swat him away again. “Your words, not mine.” 
“Hmm.” He rearranges himself. Before you have a chance to protest, you’re pulled between his legs, your back to his chest in an awkward embrace. “How’s this?” 
Your eyes are wide open now, and you’re stiff with surprise. Ludwig hadn’t struck you as the cuddling type. 
You’re still formulating a reply when he wraps an arm around your midsection, his forearm coming to rest against where your cramps are strongest. You note the heat, normally oppressive, seeping through the back of your shirt to relax your muscles. 
“That’s... that’s actually great. Fuck.” 
His chest rumbles with a laugh. 
You frozen, still unsure how to respond to the proximity. You haven’t been hugged in... a long time. 
 He pinches you again. “So what’s this shit about you imposing?” 
“I didn’t say-” 
“You implied.” He adopts a higher pitch, in mockery of your voice, “’You don’t need to do anything, being here is enough because I’m so sad and pitiful, wah.’” 
You mumble out a curse. “I don’t sound like that.” 
“You going to answer the question?” 
Your nose crinkles and you cross your arms. This isn’t a conversation you want to have. “I don’t like relying on other people.” 
“Obviously. Why?”  
You shrug. “I don’t want to wear out my welcome.” 
There’s a silence before Ludwig sighs. His fingers tangle in your hair again, this time to scratch at your scalp. It feels nice. 
“Are you always like this, or did Mervin say something?” 
You scowl, not pleased to have been read so easily. Your silence is answer enough. 
“I’ve lived with those two for decades. Believe me when I tell you that you’re a perfectly pleasant housemate in comparison. You’re tidier, quieter, more polite-” 
You shrug off his words. He’s not wrong. But years of living precariously has instilled into you a deep wariness of getting comfortable.  
“-and I told you that Mervin would talk shit.” He pauses, just enough for smugness to creep into his tone. “He likes you, you know.” 
You huff. “Doubtful.” 
“Yeah, he’d never tell it to your face, but I know my brother. And he’s said some pretty interesting things when you’re not around.” 
You almost turn to check his expression. Your stillness has probably given away your interest.  
“I don’t believe you.” 
Ludwig shrugs. “Believe me or don’t. But I know he likes you.” 
You chew on your lip, considering your recent interactions with the demon. If he likes you, he isn't very good at showing it. 
“Not as much as Obie though.” 
You get the distinct impression that you’re being teased. It’s hard to be mad with Ludwig kneading your shoulders, but still, you feel ill at ease. “You’re just making fun of them.” 
“I’m serious. Why else would he be so jittery today?” 
“You said that I smelt tasty.” 
“Do you think everyone smells good to him?” 
You scrunch your eyes closed. Lean your head back to rest against his shoulder. He’s starting to give you a headache. “How would I know?”  
“I guess you wouldn’t. Good thing I'm here to keep you informed.” 
You roll your eyes. “That’s such a Mervin thing to say.” 
He crinkles his nose. Flicks you on the forehead.  
And despite yourself, you start to relax. It’s incremental. You’re still uncomfortable. You’re in pain and leaning against an absolute furnace of a demon. But your muscles loosen, and your breathing evens.  
You could probably sleep off the worst of your cramps if Ludwig stopped fussing. His ministrations aren’t particularly disruptive, but they do hold your attention. He squeezes your shoulders. Presses the flat of his palm above your mons, where the pain is worst. Gently scratches at your scalp and massages the back of your neck. 
You haven’t been just touched in a long time, and there’s a walled off piece of you that stirs to life at each point of contact.  
When he wraps his hand around your throat, the heat and firmness of his grip nearly have you melting. It’s enough to have you forgetting yourself, and you let out a hum of satisfaction. 
“You know, I’ve heard orgasms relieve pain.” 
Reality slams back into you, leaving you hyperaware of how you’re draped across Ludwig’s lap. The work he’d put into relaxing you is completely undone as you thrum with tension. Your mouth shuts tight with embarrassment.  
Your jaw is stiff when you reply. “Are you coming on to me?” 
He huffs a laugh. “Maybe. I guess.” 
You struggle to process. “Weren’t you just telling me that Obie liked me?” 
“Mm. You do have a knack for charming my family.” 
That doesn’t answer your implication. “Wouldn’t he be upset?” 
Ludwig shrugs. “First come, first served. And if he really has a problem, I don’t mind sharing.” 
You almost sit up, thoroughly scandalised and shocked.  
Almost. 
Ludwig is silent. Patient. Awaiting a response. Or perhaps just content to watch you reel. 
You take a breath. Try to consider his suggestion.  
It has its appeal. You haven’t gotten off in a while. Long enough that just sitting in Ludwig’s lap is enough to set your heart racing. But thinking about any form of intimacy ties your stomach up in knots that have nothing to do with your period. 
“I don’t want to fuck this up.” You’re thinking of your position here. Your welcome, and the things that could change if you were to start a casual fling.  
His lips brush your ear, raising goosebumps on the back of your neck. “No strings attached. I’m just offering to help out a friend. Relieve some pain.” 
“Get your dick wet?” 
His hand creeps upwards, dipping under the hem of your shirt. It's hard to concentrate on anything else. “Not even.” 
You bite your lip, frozen with consideration. Anticipation.  
You like Ludwig well enough. He’s handsome, even. Rough around the edges, sure, but disarming with his occasional teasing and laid-back behaviour.  
“No strings attached?” 
“None.” 
“No further expectations?” 
He lets out a huff. “You can say no.” 
You shake your head. You’re not opposed. Just wary. Scared, even. 
But if he’s being genuine- if you have nothing to lose from accepting his help- 
Your knees fall apart and you relax further into Ludwig’s grasp.  
Then why not? 
“Okay.” 
Given permission, his hand disappears beneath your shirt. Traces the contours of your stomach. It almost tickles, how gentle he’s being. Something you hadn’t expected. With his free hand he squeezes your thigh. What limited area he can reach in this position is subject to deep, massaging touches.  
It helps to relax you, until your head is lolling back and your muscles are going slack again. And at first it seems like he’s content to just explore. Mapping out your abdominals. Your ribs. The underside of your breasts.  
He thumbs at the bra and tsks.  
“That can’t be too comfortable.” 
You hum your agreement. 
“Are you attached to this bra?” 
You shrug and shake your head. It’s just a plain white bra, one of multiple you own. 
“Good.” 
You’re pulled out of your lull by the sound of tearing cloth. Air touches your breasts, and you realise what he’s done. 
“You shit-” 
He grips you by the jaw, movements taking on a hint of force. Impatience or desire, you’re not sure. But your words are cut off when he crushes his lips to yours, tongue invading your mouth. 
The tips of his claws dig into your flesh where he grips your thigh. The sudden intensity has you reeling. Fuzziness closes in on your thoughts, enough to keep you pliant. There’s a part of you that’s indignant about the bra. The rough treatment. But mostly, you just want to see what he does next. 
“Sorry,” he mumbles against your lips. “Wanted to see you. Feel you.” He emphasises with a squeeze of your breast. 
He goes back to kneading your thighs and you can’t help but squirm. You need your pants off. Now. You need to feel him against your skin. 
Impatient, you unzip them. Manage to shimmy them down to your ankles before giving up. But Ludwig gets the idea. 
Teasing, he runs a single digit up the inside of your thigh. The point of his nail prickles against your skin, hard enough to hurt. 
You can’t stop your hips from twitching. The shuddering intake of air. Your murmured little, “Fuck.” 
The sound must do things for Ludwig, because he stills. Then takes hold of your throat, nuzzling your neck and grinding against your back. You become aware of his erection.  
“You sound good,” he says against your ear.  
He palms your core and huffs a laugh when you shudder. “Feel good too.” 
You’re wet. When had that happened? Slick to the point where it’s too easy for him to stroke you through the cotton. It’s impossible to miss when he runs a claw directly over your clit. 
You buck, biting back a little groan. It’s getting harder to think. To control yourself. 
Ludwig chuckles at your response. “Someone’s keen.”  
You want to retort, but only manage a whine in response. He’s not wrong. You can’t remember the last time somebody touched you like this. 
Almost as if to punish you, his hand leaves your underwear. You do whimper this time, when he takes hold of your throat. The grip is solid, but not choking. Enough to scare you. Thrill you. But still light enough to keep you at ease. Even if you wish he’d go back to stroking your clit. 
He presses his lips to yours again. Starts to knead and squeeze at your breasts. 
You protests slip away as he fondles you. The pain too- you're too preoccupied by the cold air on your chest. The scrape of claws against your skin. At the hot breath on your face, the kiss with entirely too much teeth, and the tongue that keeps stuffing into your mouth.  
He’s more intense than you’d expected; the hand around your throat drifting up to grip your jaw. He ignores your attempt to break away for air. Steers you back towards him, insatiable and eager. The heat of his skin turning the kiss sweltering. Sweaty. Almost too warm. Too crowded.  
But damn if you aren’t into it. 
Finally you grab him by a horn and yank his face away, desperate for air, for an inch of space. 
It doesn’t deter Ludwig. He just reaches back towards your underwear, pressing kisses against your neck instead. Sucking hard against the tender flesh of your shoulder. Relishing the gasps he draws from you. Rubbing between your legs again. 
You’re deeply embarrassed by the way your underwear are starting to stick to you. It has you torn, the desire to be touched combatting your reluctance to be vulnerable. An instinctual compromise has you covering your face.  
“None of that,” Ludwig intercepts you by the wrist, pinning your arm to the couch. “I want to hear you.” 
You’ve no choice but to let your head slump back. It’s an effort not to clench your jaw, to let your body relax. To allow your composure to fall, and a string of soft gasps to escape you. 
It’s a blessing when he pulls your underwear aside. The cold air shocks you out of your self consciousness. Pulls you out of your own head a little more. 
There’s a moment of tension before he touches you, your knees spread as far as you can manage, trying not to cant your hips with how desperate you are for friction. 
He doesn’t touch your clit straight away. Your control breaks pretty easily, and you find your hips leaving the couch, seeking out his touch. 
He huffs a laugh against your ear, stilling his hand and waiting for you to settle.  
With the softest little huff you do, nearly vibrating out of your skin with the effort it takes to keep still as he places his hand on your mons. Strokes across your vulva. Spreading you open and exposing your wetness to the air. 
“If I’d known we’d be doing this, I’d have filed down my claws." 
You become hyperaware of them. Tense. With anxiety, with anticipation. Part of you is afraid of pain. Of a possible misstep. But mostly you just want to be touched. 
Ludwig flexes his hand. Rubs you with the pads of his fingers quite harmlessly. His free arm wraps around your chest and holds you in place when he finally touches your clit.  
You arch at the touch, inhaling shakily.  
It’s nothing fancy. It’s not like you haven’t touched yourself the same way before. 
But the breath on your neck, the change of scenery, the erection pressing into your back- 
“Shit,” you murmur.  
Then you’re coming against his fingers, far too quickly. 
Ludwig clamps a hand over your mouth. Your moans come out muffled; still entirely lewd. You grip his forearm, nails digging into his skin as you arch against him.  
His chest rumbles at the contact and he grips you tighter, grinding against your ass. In a moment that both startles you and extends the aftershocks of your orgasm, you feel teeth clamp down on your shoulder. Hard, jagged, just shy of breaking the skin. 
Your moans turn into whines and you buck against him. He only grips you harder, hand skewing enough to cover your nose too. You’re not getting any air, and while part of you panics, another part of you melts. Light headedness kind of feels nice when your heart is pounding and pleasure is still rolling through your being.  
Still, all things in moderation.  
Soon you can hear your heart in your ears and your chest is aching for air. Your wriggling doesn’t dissuade Ludwig at all, but you desperately need to breathe. You could probably communicate this to him, could probably just tug his hand away from your face. But your limbs aren’t really back under your control yet, so instead you do the next best thing and bite him. 
“Oh- f-fuck.” 
His hand leaves your face as he grips you by the hips. Holding you in place as he grinds against you, lowly groaning against your shoulder.  
He stills. 
You both pant heavily in the following silence. 
“Did you just...” 
He relaxes back against the couch. “Oops.” 
“Ludwig!” 
Your embarrassment at how quickly you came is immediately washed away. You turn to stare your disbelief, but Ludwig isn’t even looking at you. His brow is raised, and he’s looking up towards the doorway- 
The front door opens. 
“Hey, sorry, I forgot my phone-” 
Obie only takes two steps into the room before his head whips towards you and he freezes. 
You’re still hazy, and for a moment nobody reacts. Then shame rushes in and you’re yanking your shirt down, clamping your knees shut. Your mouth opens, and you want to speak, to explain, but nothing comes out. 
Ludwig wipes his hand on his pants and snorts. “I guess you caught me... red handed?” 
Eyes wide, you turn to him, incredulous. How can he be joking right now? 
A noise escapes the glutton. The sound of air- a hiss or perhaps a sharp inhale.  You don’t have a chance to identify it further before his brows crease and his shoulders square. He reaches towards the wall, blindly groping for the first object in range.  He rips a poster from its place. And stuffs it into his mouth. 
Ludwig straightens. “Really? You’re going to be like that?” 
Obie's jaw sets. He swipes one of the t-shirts hanging off the back of the couch – one of Ludwig’s. And swallows it whole too.  
Ludwig sighs. “C’mon man, that was a collectible.” 
Incensed, Obie continues, grabbing at knickknacks across the room and stuffing them into his mouth. You notice all of them belong to Ludwig.  
You’re surprised that Ludwig doesn’t move from his spot. Doesn’t act to stop his brother, only grumbling at each disappearing item. 
You wince at the crunch of ceramic as Obie chews on a mug. Otherwise you’re still frozen in place, not sure what to make of the scene. 
“I told you he liked you,” Ludwig mutters. 
“You did what?” Obie says around a mouthful of pottery, his voice shrill. 
“What? It’s not like you were being subtle.” 
Before you have a chance to blink Obie is striding across the room. Mouth still full of ceramic, he starts to cuss Ludwig out, reaching out to grab him by the shirt, heedless of your proximity.  
Ludwig just keeps smirking. 
You wriggle out of his lap, unnerved by the prospect of being caught between two warring demons. Still jelly legged, you yank up your pants and stand, not wanting to be anywhere near them if they’re going to have it out. 
But you stagger.  
Pain flares through your abdomen and a hiss escapes from between your teeth.  
Obie and Ludwig fall silent, still. Before- 
“I’m so sorry, did I hurt you?” and “Hey, we didn’t mean to scare ya.” 
They both miss the mark, but share twin looks of remorse. 
You shake your head. “Just period pain. Standing hurts.” 
They reach for you at the same time.  
“Did getting off help? Do you want more?”  
“Have you had any meds? Or some food to settle your stomach?” 
The fretting is short lived however, when Obie pauses and shoots Ludwig what you can only assume is his version of a glare. 
“Seriously? That was your excuse?” 
Ludwig shrugs. “She needed a little pampering.” 
“Pampering. Is stuff like a foot rub. Or brushing her hair. Or carrying her bag. Not sticking your fingers inside of her!” 
You bite your lip at the statement. You’d convinced yourself that a short fling with Ludwig wouldn’t be a big deal. But Obie might be right. You’d done it in the house they shared. In a space they shared. After having been told that the glutton had feelings for you. 
It really was a dick move. You should have considered what might happen if you were caught. Taken things to a private room. Turned him down completely. Anything but what you’d done. 
Obie and Ludwig don’t look like they’re going to come to blows. But you don’t want to stick around and listen to their bickering. It’d only embarrass you. Guilt you. 
“I’m going to lay down,” you mutter, heading for the stairs. 
The pair fall silent.  
Obie follows you upstairs. You really hope he won’t stop you. You don’t know what to say. 
“Hey.” 
You do your best to wipe the discomfort off your face before turning to face him. “Hi.” 
His cheeks are red, and he twiddles his thumbs, before stuffing his hands into his pockets. And pulling them out to fidget again. 
“I- uh. There’s chocolate. In my room. If you want some.” 
Standing there, pain creeping up your back, loose bits of your bra hanging limp under your shirt, and a mess of blood and slick in your underwear, you try not to grimace. 
“That’s sweet of you Obie.” You’re tired. Tired of being perceived and fussed over. Of being embarrassed. Of feeling gross. But you get the feeling that if you blow Obie off right now, you might damage something irreparably between you. “Normally I’d love some, but-” 
“I’m sorry.” 
You blink. “Huh?” 
“I wasn’t trying to shame either of you. I was just... jealous. Mad. That he made a move before I could. I didn’t mean to upset you.” 
It takes you a few moments to decide your reply. 
“I need a shower. And to change.” 
His face falls and he steps back. Forces a little laugh. “Oh. Of course. I’ll just be-” 
“I’ll come by after? If you want?” 
He stills, as if surprised by your reply. The embarrassment leaves his features and he straightens, “Yeah, okay. I’ll just tidy up a bit. See you in a bit?” 
You drudge up a smile and reply before turning back to your door. “See you in a bit.”

Tumblr media
The day was beautiful this morning.
With the sunlight sinking into the room through the window. The birds singing outside. Beautiful fresh smelling air. Beautiful visions of nature right outside of you looked. A bright blue sky. Fluffy white clouds. Yellow sun. Flowers of every color. Green plants everywhere. Trees providing shade as the wind rolled by. An absolute picture perfect scene for what could very much be a good day. Nothing in the world to worry about. Nothing to do. Just peaceful quiet and nature.
That was what your normal morning would've been on your day off. When you woke up at a reasonable time and woke up at a normal time. However this wasn't your normal morning. Now was it?
The wind felt nice against your skin as you walked along the dirt road and towards the pathway where the river lied. It was pretty early in the morning too. Two maybe three o'clock. A yawn bubbled up the woman's throat and made it out as a hand instinctively went to cover her mouth. Usually you would fear going outside anytime during the night but desperate times called for desperate measures. You were running out of food. All these scraps would only go so far before someone got the idea to start charging you money for that too or by the ways things were going, soon there wouldn't even be any scraps left for you to be handed. Your only hope right now was to rely on old scraps and providing the food yourself. Under the covers of darkness to avoid any suspicion.
Your door had opened quietly and you stepped out of your house and into the quiet, barren streets. The moonlight shining down and kissing your form. A shiver running down your spine from a warm breeze ghosting over your form. It would be a good night to fish. The door closed softly as you started walking towards the woods outside the town, fishing line curled up within your right hand. The moon shown down upon the forests illuminating the night bright enough for you to see and watch as the trees swayed im the warm breezes and hear the peaceful rustling of their leaves and lullabies of the crickets. It was just so beautiful and lively. You always loved doing this. Not when it was dark and scary however. It was more beautiful in the daytime. 
The sweet smells of flowers and grass were encouraging your lungs. Combined with the warmth of the summer air warming your muscles and urging them on. Both made you feel as light as a feather on your mere feet and the ground felt soft under you. It would've been nice if you weren't constantly looking side to side at every shadow that danced in the limited moonlight thanks to the grey clouds looming overhead. Step after step. Faster and faster. You fearfully started to speed walk through the pathways and around a corner of a house as soft dirt pathways turned into grassy floors of forests as you excitedly entered the beckoning woods. The moonlight being blocked out a bit because of the swaying trees and branches and clouds but you could still see perfectly fine. The river sso many people liked to fish at during summer wasn't too far from where you entered. It was just nearly a quarter of a mile into the woods. You loved coming out during these warm months and enjoying the view but ever since the disappearances -...You kept your distance. The way you found the river was walking through a bush and having to blink when a flurry of sparkling lights glared your eyes for a second.
Blinking your eyes adjusted to the beautiful and wonderful sight of a dark beautiful river reflecting the moon on its surface and sparkling as if the reflection had its own stars and consolations within its ripples. Completely untouched and waiting for you to touch its soft silence. Soft footsteps approached the gleaming water and a carbon copy of a woman appeared in the gleaming reflections. She stared up at the original mirroring the actions of the woman above. The woman's fiddled with her line and the small contacts she brought along with her. A hook with a big, juicy worm stabbed on the end of it dangled over the woman in the dark reflection before dropping into the water and rippling the reflection woman away back into the darkness of the waters.
Shaking hands fed the line lower and lower into the blackened waters. F/c eyes darting around the area. Every creaking branch. Every swaying bush. Every tall blade of grass. They all could hide a monster ready to carry you off to be their next meal. Next Bride. Next victim. The fast paced breathing was only matched by the beating of your heart in your chest. 
This was where those three girls disappeared last year, and near where the fourth girl disappeared. 
It was a stupid, STUPID idea!! ...But were you really just going to let your friends go hungry? No. No you weren't going to let that happen. The responsibility of their survival was solely on you for the moment. With a shaky inhale the woman returned to her work. Feeding the line into the wide river's darkened waters before kneeling down to sit upon the side of the water. Trembling. Nothing but the wind and cold for company. 
Rippling, rippling water. Sparkling mirrorer of the stars and moon. Swaying lazily with the flowing currents and keeping in time with the bobbing line of life keeping it tethered to the above world. With a lazed fortune in mind for the woman, a pull tugged onto the line and it was enough for her to pull up a feast big enough for a small person for a day.
You frowned as you gazed at the small catfish wriggling on the end of the line. This wasn't as big as you hoped. It was enough for a small human like you to have for lunch but that's about it. It wouldn't fill up a mermaid for an entire day! But..you couldn't afford to throw it back. A fish was a fish. And you'd have to get more. The line was thrown back in once again sinking back into the only black abyss of the waters. You sat there gazing at the blackness around you with nothing but the flopping fish for company. Every sound was amplified as in the silence made them louder. You shouldn't be here in the woods. You should be at home in your comfy bed asleep and waking up to a good morning where you'd make yourself breakfast before cleaning a little bit and then relaxing on your day off. But no. Here you were in the same forest where four girls disappeared just last summer fishing in the middle of the night just to feed three mermaids that you never really asked for with your poor town suffering the consequences. 
You should've headed the old tales-
The sweet sunlight kisses the world good bye as the sun set on the world. Wishing it good bye to make way for the cruel night that way ahead. Bathing the world in darkness tinted in white by his sister the moon as she dawned her best war paint and climbed higher into the darkened sky to claim her rightful place as Queen of the dark realm. That readd a sign to all her dark children that tonight would be the night for mischief and mayhem. Danger and chaos.
Death and undead.
Beware the full moon that comes to rise in the sky.
Beware the monsters who lurk and live amongst the world.
Beware of those who seek out their own entertainment.
So lock your doors up tight when the full moon appears. Barricade all your windows. Block up any chimneys. Hide away in your deepest closest. Arm yourself with your finest weapons. Speak not a word and be silent. Sleep not a wink and keep alert for they will all spirit you away.
Mischievous fae. Blood thirsty vampires. Carnivorous werewolves. Fire breathing dragons. Scheming demons. And so many more.
Those who refuse to heed the warnings are fated to die to be spirited away never to be seen again. So hide away and don't make a sound. Never answer the door no matter what. And above all else be weary.
You jumped as a thunderclap in the distance overhead echoed throughout the sky. Your head looked up instinctively and stared at the still lit up sky and the dark grey storm clouds that scattered across it like some shattered jigsaw puzzle. The sight of it worried you making a frown appear on your perfectly spooked face. The chilly wind blowing over your body once again as you shivered. 
You were tired. Exhausted even as the night went on. Darkened shadows filled the skies with darkness blocking out the light as your catch slowly grew. One by one. Until you jumped as a giant crash of thunder rolled along the sky making you jump and look towards the sky of darkness. You deemed it time to go then. Quickly pulling in your line up and gathering your fish, another clash of thunder made you jump. The wind picked up hammering branches against each other. Yep. Time to go! You just threw the string of fish over your shoulder when- 
DDDDRRRAAAAAAAGGG- 
You froze when you heard it. A distant cry of the Water's surface breaking just a few feet away from you to the right as you turned your head. The sounds of something coming from the other sides of the bushes. You couldn't move. Couldn't speak. As fear gripped your neck tightly and your eyes stared at the cold wind blowing the bushes around. The mud squelches and splashing sounded..BIG. POWERFUL...But also-
COUGH! COUGH! DDDRRRRAAAAAGGGG!! COUGH!
T H U D- ! ! !
You jumped as SOMETHING BIG. Collapsed.
Collapsed. JUST. BEHIND. THE. BUSHES.
You still didn't move. Panicking internally. What were you supposed to do?! Get your neighbors?! You wanted to go back...but what if it was someone who did need help? Or what if it was a wild animal? WHAT IF IT WAS A CREATURE GETTING READY TO CARRY YOU AWAY NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN?!...Ok. maybe not. Calm down. It was just.. probably just a wild animal! Yeah! It was probably injured or something! In which case you better leave anyways. ...Buuuut if it WAS an injured animal like a deer then maybe you could just use it for food! You guessed it didn't hurt to just take a quick look. Right? Slowly you stopped and looked back towards the bush. Your bare feet touching the ground gently and quietly enough to not make yourself known.
Your breath hitched in your throat.
Quietly you stepped closer as and closer and CLOSER to the bush silently. Slowly stopping right in front of the bush. The wind blew swaying it's branches creepily and looked like thrashing arms. You grabbed a handful and silently and slowly pulled them back.
And you froze at what you saw-
The winds howled as the darkness crept across the skies. The darkness behind the bush shielded your form from the moonlight which cascaded down between the trees and clouds in the sky. The shadows danced and branches creaked as the wind blew them about. Like arms beckoning you closer to grab you away in their rough grip. Drag you into the shadows never to be seen again. You cracked an opening in the branches and looked out. The darkened sky looked out over the entire area. Tree branches swayed and night fell upon the ground. However you froze as your eyes met a sickening sight.
R E D.
The coldness of the air bit down hard on your skin, like painful bee stings pricking your skin. The terror far greater than seeing a thousand wolves sunk in. A hand flew to cover your mouth as a foul urge to vomit rose and a sickening copper smell filtered through the air.
RED!!
That was the color painted everywhere on the ground displayed before you. And there...lying face down slumped over was a man's body. A canvas for the color. Your eyes shrank in terror and your ears gained a ringing sound all on their own drowning out any noise.
A DEAD BODY.
Right there lying right in front of your face. How-...How did this happen?! Where did it come from?! You wretched yourself away from the bush in shock and leaned over slightly. The urge to vomit riding as you did everything you could to keep it down. The bush branches snapping back into place hiding the sight from you. Automatically you gave a few coughs and gulped down air in an attempt to calm yourself head spinning. There was a dead man on the riverbank! Oh gods! What if someone thought you were responsible for this!? You could be tried for murder-
Wait...
How did you know he was actually dead?
That one thought made you freeze in your tracks instantly. That's right...How did you know for certain that he was dead? You just merely saw him covered in blood with a gash on his back. Your head turned back to the bush. He...he could've been hurt and tried reaching your house for help. What if he was laying there suffering?! That thought perked you back up into going back to the bush and cautiously reaching out to slightly pull the branches again. The body was still there unmoving. It...sure LOOKED dead but you couldn't tell in the dark. If he was still alive..you had to help him. You couldn't just leave someone to bleed out. The unmoving form still remained unmoving even as you noisily pushed through the bush and stood right next to the head. It was then that you again stopped dead in your tracks both shocked and horrified as the clouds overhead parted enough to allow more moonlight to light up the area truly revealing who or more accurately WHAT was laid in front of you 
A pale torso of blood covered skin sank down into the mud. Skin slowly melted away into fiery orange and red scales smooth and polished like that of a snake..Or fish. A giant tail full of fins sank deeply into the muddy bank before disappearing under the waves of the water that lazily hugged his body. F/c eyes widened to the size of plates.
A MERMAID?!
..No. wait-
Your eyes narrowed more in the darkness. A mer-..Man???
It was definitely a man. You could tell by how Large the body was and how muscular the exposed skin was. In the limited moonlight you were able to make out long blonde hair that mostly covered his face and he laid in a position that suggested that he'd collapsed by himself instead of being washed ashore by the river currents. But the question still remained...Was he still alive?
You hesitated again ...but slowly you reached over to the face laying on its side and touched the long strands covering his eyes. It was .. surprisingly soft and silky to the touch and you slowly pulled it away from the face to examine it. The right side of a man's face greeted you. You nearly jumped back at what you saw.
"Oh my gods."
A fish hook was just mere inches from his face. One of those thick metal ones that they used to catch tuna, small sharks, and other large fish. You immediately grabbed it pulling it safely away from him. What was this doing here?! A few more centimeters and it could've handed his face if he chose to move, splayed out on the cold unforgivable ground unmoving. His right eye exposed from pulling his hair back was closed obviously either unconscious or dead, and read streaks ran down his face in water dripping patterns from a cut on his forehead. However...that wasn't the strangest bit. Your hand instead went to almost touch his lips and flinched back feeling a weak warmth across your fingertips. You reeled back in shock, hand to your chest, and jumping. His body was still warm!!
HE WAS ALIVE!!
The hook was thrown aside along with the line of fish you caught thudding into the wet ground. Hands grabbed his right shoulder and HEAVED. Barely moving an inch, but slowly the body turned, and with a thud he was collapsed onto his back. A shocked gasp escaped from your throat upon eyes seeing his front body. Oh gods...So much blood. His body was practically DRENCHED in the red color! And you found out why. A large gash across his front from his left shoulder and ending just above his right hip was exposed to you. Definitely bigger than the gash along his back. And there was a third smaller gash along his right collar bone ending near his bicep. There was so much blood..How was he even still alive!? Wha-..What happened to him?! What caused him to get like this?! Thick broken strands of what looked like broken strands of rope was laid out all over his body, curiously you grabbed a piece and pulled it off him. What used to be a net maybe? You continued pulling it all off of him the hardest part having to walk into the river a bit and slide it down his tail in order to slip it off his tail. So much for a dry dress. The ropes were thrown aside and wet squelch sounded as you pulled up the hem of your now soaked dress to go kneel by his head.
It provided you a better look despite the limited moon light. You could get a better look at his injuries noting there was more than you expected. More BLOOD than you expected. It seemed most on his head came from either his mouth or from the cut on his forehead. There was also more cuts on his tail, but thankfully none of them looked very deep or if they were they weren't bleeding which was also good. But you also noticed something else. Something else very important about him. 
He was also wearing jewelry.
A thick gold chain was around his waist like a belt almost. His ears were pierced with a few small gold earrings that you only noticed thanks to the moonlight making them shine. Some kind of golden bands were wrapped around his left forearm, and finally a few rings were on his fingers. OOOH boy. Your eyes widened when you saw them. They were studded with big diamonds and other precious jewels. Whoever this man-..merman was, it was obvious he had access to some kind of wealth. Taking a closer look..He also was very handsome under all of the dread. Briefly your panicked mind wondered if all mermaids were like this or if it was just the ones you came across.
You reached out to touch it his neck for a pulse. F/c eyes smoothed over the body still wet and warm from the turbulent journey down the river. However the water droplets dripping down the body was expected, as was the smears of crimson blood from the injuries. What was not expected was the lack of movement coming from his chest. The woman froze again upon blankly staring down at the unmoving chest as a horrible reality was finalized right then and there. 
HE WASN'T BREATHING 
The horrible realization struck her as hard and quick as lightning made out of bricks. Her breathing hit he'd as her knees dropped next to his chest. Hands raised shaking and panicked as she stared panicked at the bloody body..Quickly the woman's hands reached out to shakingly pat at his cheeks.
"Please wake up. Pl-Please wake up!"
Unresponsive. Eyes remained closed silently drifting away from the world as peacefully and slowly as a leaf flowing down the pond. The woman above only being a distant audience- Until she refused the reaper his claim that day. 
Hands pushed themselves onto the unmoving chest. Hands interlocking. Arms stiff. And then the first of many pushes down. 
"Wake up!"
Sweat beaded from your forehead as you rapidly delivered a series of pushes down until you reached to the count of thirty in your mind. Stopping abruptly and grabbing his head. Nose pinched, head tilted back slightly, and not hesitating to place your mouth on his to deliver breaths. Sweat coated your face as you continued the cycle. 
Rapid pushes.
"Come on. Come on."
More breaths.
"Fight it!"
Rapid pushes.
"LIVE DAM YOU!"
Tears helped up in your eyes. A sob nearly escaping. The darkness and distant thunder overhead mocking your attempts at what seemed to be a lost cause. Gleeful in your failing. A shaking added to the woman as she went to quickly place her mouth back onto his- and then he choked.
The movement of him against you caught you so off guard that you actually tumbled backwards out of fright, the mud making a loud splat sound as you fell into it. If the dress wasn't ruined before it certainly was now. However that was the farthest thing from your mind as the body convulsed with coughs escaping the mouth- Two hands grabbed him by the shoulder as you heaved with a loud grunt to pull him onto his side. 
"That's it. Good. Good." A hand gently rubbed his back as you held him there. A gasping choking sound like a drowning man finally getting to land. "You're doing great. Keep breathing."
HE WAS ALIVE. HE WAS BREATHING!! He was still not in good shape but he wasn't dead! Thank the gods! The gasping choking sounds continued for a little bit making you wince as you watched him. His mouth hung wide open exposing a few fangs you wearily eyed. The girls had fangs too but his were much more sharp and pointy. His eyes squeezed shut and his brows tightly furrowed as he gasped and every so while spat. Until eventually his head laid upon the ground exhausted. Chest rising and falling deeply. 
For a moment there was nothing.
The sounds of creaking branches, wind, and heavy breathing were the only things heard besides the distant sounds of thunder in the ever darkening skies. Nothing but you staring at him in this point frozen in time as a hand encouraging rubbed at his back.
Then ever so slowly his eyes opened.
You froze when you first saw the whites of those eyes. At first they were confused blinking the blurry vision away only to be greeted by the darkness. A moment of longingly staring ensued, until the eye turned to stare up at you. You froze at the unusual eyeball staring at you. It was unlike anything you've ever seen. His pupil instead of the usual black was a pure white surrounded by a ring of red that was in turn surrounded by a secondary ring of orange. It made contact with your f/c irises and stopped there before widening in surprise. Your face stained in crimson red and mud brown. There was nothing but the tense breathing for ten seconds before the entire face slowly turned to you. The wet hair cling to his face, semi stained by the blood, and mud smeared on other parts of his body that wasn't already caked in water and/or blood. He just ..Laid there. Staring up at you. Right in the eyes. As if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. His fire like eyes stared at your eyes then looked down at the lower half of your face and the crimson smear. It looked like he's seen a ghost. 
"GAH!?"
You jumped back as his arm moved, pulling your hands away from his body and leaning back. Eyes wide as the limb shook enough to be mistaken for a frightened worm. You flinched. Was he going to attack you?! Drag you down into the water?! Drown you?! You were going to die and for what?! Helping him?! Your eyes clenched shut awaiting your fate!
A shaking hand reached up and-!!! Gently touched his mouth in bewilderment. 
"....Did you ju-just k-k-kiss me?"
A GLASS SHATTERED IN YOUR MIND
Wait...What?!
You lowered your arms slowly. Even more slowly as the most hoarse man's voice you ever heard came from the merman. You stared at him wide eyed as he stared up at you. "....W-What?"
"Ma'am, I am hu-humb-b-bly flattered-" He was BARELY able to hold up a badly shaking hand. "-bu-but I am a h-..*cough cough* ha-happly mmmarried man."
You stared at him blankly for the longest time just staring. His voice sounded like he desperately needed a glass of water for a dry throat. ".......SAY WHAT?!"
"I u-understand that I happen to b-be a- about b-but I as-sure you that I am l-like..Super married. *Cough cough cough*" He coughed a few times covering his mouth as you still stared shocked.
"I-I didn't kiss you!!," you squealed out horrified. "I was admitted CPR!!"
"I-Is that W-What humans do to court?"
"Wha- NO!! YOU WEREN'T BREATHING!!", You shouted at him red creeping up onto your face. "IT'S A MEDICAL TECHNIQUE!!"
He slowly blinked at you.. before speaking. "Oh. Well t-that is more sense. *Cough cough*"
You ignored the red in your face. "Just..Who are you?"
"I-I could be ask-asking you the same thing. W-What is a hu-human girl *cough* d-doing here?"
"Night fishing. Are you feeling ok?" You hesitantly raised your hands towards his body but stopped shortly of touching him.
"Not at all! I'm in incredible pain!," he shouted in a raspy voice making you wince at the volume.
"SSSHHH!! Keep your voice down!," you whisper shouted at him looking around the darkness. Who knows who..or WHAT could hear him?! "Is there anyone nearby who can help you? O-Or maybe family?"
"Nope! But i-if you help pu-push me back into t-t-the river then I might be *cough* a-able to get back!"
"... Can't you not move with your injuries?"
"BARELY!"
You again just stared at his face..then at his body..then back to his face. Oh no. NO! Nonononono!! This could NOT be happening to you! Not now! Not again! You couldn't get further involved into this! 
"Is there anywhere you can go for help?"
"N-Not around here."
You should walk away now. You had already did your good deed. He was alive and he could take care of himself! You shouldn't be getting anymore involved. In fact you even stood up and turned making him blink from where he laid in the mud-..Mud. You turned back around. He was weakly and pathetically staring at you from the mud like a piece of junk to be discarded. Helpless. Unable to find for himself. If a wild animal like a bear or wolf didn't get to him first then someone else could find him and..Who knew what could happen to him? And that's only considering if he didn't die from his injuries first. ..He breathed heavy and turned his head upwards as two feet stopped in front of his head. You looked back down at him. A crash of thunder illuminated each other's faces.
"Just out of curiosity, do you know what a piggy back ride is?"
The house was silent. Nothing but the thunder overhead and the wind scratching against the window and the raindrops beating against the rooftop as the sun still stayed hidden for another hour or so. 
T H U D-!!
The door flew open, hitting the fair wall behind it causing a loud thud to ring out throughout the otherwise silent house. 
STEP, STEP, STEP, STEP.
You pulled yourself into the house slowly step after slow step. Into your home until you collapsed onto the floor. A series of thumps and thuds rang out as bodies and objects fell. You fell exhausted onto your side breathing in and out gasping for air like a drowning man. Her body felt somewhere between numb and in pain, especially her back. Her entire body soaked to the bone because of the pouring rain and she was still covered in mud and blood. Only now she was soaked too. Only good thing about this was that no one would be outside to see her. Seriously. Why did mermaids have to be so darn HEAVIER than they look?! A large hand reached out to gently grab your shoulder. Still gasping for air, you opened your eyes to stare at the merman collapsed onto the floor next to you. Despite his condition being much worse than yours, he still looked concerned for you.
"Ma'am, are you alright?"
A crack of lightning rang out allowing you to briefly see his face better in the dark. You waved him off way plopping with a wet smack sound onto your stomach and weakly rising up to your hands and knees. You had to close the door. The rain still poured outside in the dark hours of the morning as you weakly crawled to the doorway, giving a weak but worried look around, and then closed the door before collapsing onto the wooden frame. The mermaid watched you carefully with a worried but curious.look on his face. 
"My apologies!"
You weakly waved him off again just catching your breath. Man. Your back was killing you. Even the other three weren't this heavy. Speaking of which ..How the hell were they going to react when they saw you bring a complete stranger back with you? You really were insane for doing all of this.
The merman gave a look around from where he awkwardly lay down. "..Your abode looks highly warm. But how are you supposed to raise guppies here?"
...Guppies?
"Y/N'S BACK!! Y/N'S BACK!!"
Suma's voice echoed throughout the home only drowned out by the storm and you tiredly lifted your head up. However you weren't the only one that froze when hearing the voice. The merman had frozen stone cold at the voice.
"Y/N?! Y/N, Y/N, Y/N!! YYYYYYY/NNNNN!!!", Suma continued calling when you didn't answer her right away. 
He. FLIPPED. Literally. He flipped around landing on his stomach startling you by his sudden action. Hissing, pushing himself up onto weakened shaky arms as he stared down the way towards your bathhouse. 
"S-...Suma?"
Silence rang out other than the rain and a crash of thunder shaking the windows once more.
"... Kyojuro?!," one of the girls called back however you were so shocked by what was happening you didn't register who it was.
Recognition flashes across the man's face. Shaking breath rattling his chest mouth agape in those breaths. 
"MAKIO!!"
Fwap- "Gah!?" 
You toppled over as the end of his burly tail slapped into your. Desperation. Hesitation. Adrenaline. All pumped through the veins. Come here. Go. His mind told him. Claw after desperate claw again perfectly clean wooden floors as he raced . Mind reeling with the knowing NEED to be closer to the warmth his heart was attracted to. 
"Hey! Come back! Your wounds will get worse!," you called out to him as he desperately clawed away at a pace faster than you thought possible.
Despite your screaming muscles, you forced yourself to stand up and quickly walk after him as his form disappeared down the hallway. You turned the corner and looked down said hallway just as the man was clawing the bottom of your door with hissing desperation like a wolf frustratedly digging after a rabbit hole. Eventually he got it open pushing the door aside with a grunt and just-..Stopping. staring wide eyed into the bathroom. After about five minutes you slowly began walking down the hallway while keeping close to the wall just in case. The silence continued until the man's head raised higher. Tears starting to whelp up in them- Before without even a warning he just as quickly clawed his way into the room making you again pause.. Before quickly approaching. What was going on?! What if he hurt them?!
However when you hit to the doorway, you paused. In shock of what you saw on the other side. 
"Kyo!! Kyo!!" Suma called out for him crying historically as she held out her arms to him.
It's ok! He was here! He was coming!
Desperately and desired needs to be close. The desperation was met with open arms as you watched the three desperately crying mermaids clawing desperately at him. At first you were scared that they were attacking him by the way Hinatsuru just wrapped herself around his neck and the other two grabbed his sides and PULLED. Making them all tumble back and into the water, a giant splash noise resonating throughout the room as water sloshed over the sides and droplets rained everywhere.
"Hinatsuru!"
Footsteps approached the tub as you leaned over the side. She might've been crushed under his weight..You stopped. You blinked. You stared down at the scene before your eyes. Two emotions hit you. Absolute confusion and fluster as your face went red seeing Hinatsuru and the merman in the middle of.. Passionately kissing.
The kiss was deep but passionate, like lovers who've been apart for years. He held her so close to him as she gripped his cheeks. Both had tears streaming down their faces before a long held back sob escaped the pink mermaids throat and made them break a kiss only for Makio to take her place latching onto him to kiss him over and over and over for what seemed like eternity. Suma cried loudly as she desperately cling to his back, curled up and tears smearing the mud stain on his shoulder.
"I THOUGHT YOU W-WERE *HIC* DDDDDREEEEAAADDD!! AAAHAHAAAAA!!"
"NEVER!!" He shouted. Hugging two crying warmth givers to himself. "Never, never, never again." He repeated that mantra. Their warmth satisfying a deep hole made in his chest finally being filled again. "It's been so long..I'm never  letting you go again."
A shadow fell over them all as you stared bewildered. "..Just who are you?"
"... Apologies." He didn't look up. Didn't care. "I am called Kyojuro. You may back away now."
There wasn't really an answer until Suma looked at you, blinked, and then shrieked. "Y/N'S BLEEDING!!"
Uh oh.

♥︎ THE GHOST OF YOU ♥︎
+ warnings: mentions of death of a character, wlw relationship
+ ft: ghost!beidou x pirate!fem reader
+ wc: 0.9k
+ for @edgeray's halloween event <3
+ note: this is kinda angsty, but i couldn't help it y'all. dead captain beidou gets to your feelings for reallll.
men dni!!
Tumblr media
the sea was silent.
it had felt that way since she died. her hearty laugh was gone, the slaps against your back whenever she got a bit too excited and drunk.
and most importantly, her in general. her chapped lips against yours, her firm hands running across your body, embracing you when the storms were heavy.
she had been your captain, but she was also your love. she was your everything.
and that damn pirate had to kill her.
after that, you had taken your leave from her crew. you couldn't stay, it hurt too much to see the jolly roger the two of you had designed as children. those days had been rough, the two of you working for whatever scraps, but you were happy.
you didn't know how you could even be out on the sea right now. everything about it brought her flooding into your mind, from the smell of the salty sea, so the feeling of sand on your feet when landing on a shore. it all still stung.
you lay in your empty bed on the small ship, tossing and turning endlessly. a small wind had picked up, lanterns banging against wood disturbing that former silence. it helped, just a bit, to take your mind off her. but it would never fully soothe the pain.
a wailing sound soon joined the mix. it sounded like some lost soul, crying out for whoever.
fortunately for you, you didn't believe in ghost stories. davy jones, dead crewmates coming back to find you, it was all pirate bullshit meant to scare away youngins, right?
then why did it sound like your name being wailed? as if you were being summoned.
you open the door from your chambers, stepping out onto the deck. oddly, everything went silent again. you shake your head, thinking you must have had bad booze, or the food had gone bad.
as you turn to walk back to your room, a cold hand touches your shoulder. quickly, you turn around, hand on the holster of your gun.
and there she stood.
your lover, in all her glory. black hair cascading down those broad shoulders, the red satin covering one eye still clinging to her face. the scars, running down her body, decorating her tanned thighs and arms.
"i-it can't be" is all you can whisper, all you can mutter. there's no way its her.
and there it is. that laugh, the one from deep within her belly, the one you'd kill a man for. "i told ya, sweetheart, not even death could take me from you."
you reach out, slowly taking her calloused hand into yours. it was cool, and a shiver traveled down her spine. "h-how is this possible?"
"i told ya! those ghost stories were real." she chuckles again, bringing you closer to her cold, translucent body, hugging you tightly. "why'd ya abandon our ship though?" beidou ask.
"i-i couldn't bare it, my love. you were everywhere, it made me sick, it made me mad... besides, didn't we start out on this very tiny ship?" you ask, letting her cup your cheek.
"we did, didn't we?" beidou admires the ship she stands on with you. "i-i didn't think i'd ever see ya again," she quietly confess, a change in her usually loud and proud demeanor.
"i didn't either." you confess back.
the two of you stand in silence, holding each other dearly, not daring to speak again. finally, you open your mouth, a single question racking your mind:
"can you stay?"
beidou meets your eyes, a somber look creeping across her face. "'m afraid not, my little seal. but i promise to visit from time to time, mkay?"
her promise fills your heart with a tiny bit of hope, knowing that she wasn't gone forever, just not always by your side. "i'm gonna hold ya to that, beidou."
"i know ya will." she whispers, kissing your lips softly. her forehead presses against yours, and you suddenly forget everything: your anger, your hatred, your despise of that man. all that mattered was her, right now, in your arms.
"can ya stay the night?" you whisper, scared of what her answer might be.
"yes, my love, i can. and i will." beidou kisses your lips again, the tender action pulling at your broken heartstrings.
you wish she could stay forever, be by your side all over again. but this would do.
and so, you guide her back to the tiny bed, the one you two shared when you first began your trip as pirates. she holds you close the entire time, letting you tell her about your adventures, stealing a kiss every now and again.
finally, sleep washes over you, as you fall asleep in your lovers arms, your dreams finally sweet again.
but as you wake up, beidou is gone, all but a note that says 'i will return' in her messy handwriting. you hold dearly onto the letter, letting the tears stream down your cheeks.
you know she'll be back, but for now, and when she does, you'll find some way to keep her forever. for now, her little visits would have to suffice.

Hello :D
I love your writings!!!!
And I love your dbd Yandere Leon x killer reader story :3 can you pls make a part two? I would love to know how it will continues :D
Thank you so much for your amazing work!!!!!!
Also have a good day :D
Of course! Your super sweet I'm so glad you like my writing. So I actually started working on a part 2 after seeing your comment. But your ask just really made me work more on it. So thank you for requesting! Also, I tried to make this as gender friendly as possible. If I messed up anywhere Im so sorry. I hope you guys enjoy it 💙
Yandere Leon with Killer! Reader pt 2
Tumblr media
Leon is a clingy needy dude after he's yonked you from the killer's realm. So expect a lot of cuddling, no personal space, and following you everywhere you go in the apartment. 
He isn’t THAT weird, and lets you use the bathroom in peace.
You think anyway.
The best part about him following you like a puppy is the fact that you can basically make him do anything with a simple sentence. 
You could ask for water, and he will zoom over the fridge to get you some water.
Hungry?
Food has been cooked and brought to you.
You are treated like a god dang queen/king/royalty. 
As you should be.
He took you without your permission, and has been keeping you basically hostage. 
This is the least that he could do for you. 
Now, is his cooking very good?
Not really.
He is used to cooking food over a fire and, after joining The Entity’s realm, not eating at all.
If someone came to visit you guys (99.98% not gonna happen but it doesn't hurt to hope) like a friend of his, who didn’t hate him for kidnapping you, he would be giving them a death glare until they leave. Lucky for them that they're friends with Leon or else you'd have a giant mess to clean up and some laundry to do if ya catch my drift.
Tumblr media
Btw, Leon 100% wants you to be his house spouse.
You are so missed by your friends. And are enraged and appalled that Leon has done this to you and is able to.
A lot of the killers don’t care tho, since they’ve seen much worse.
But the survivors do, they're also extra pissed he is the one who did kill them for a while as of late.
But hey, not everything was too bad. 
He let you have hobbies, as long as you were still inside of the apartment.
Like sewing.
If you were really interested in it, he would ask you to sew some of his old clothes with big holes.
“Y/N,” he would whisper, before sitting down next to you. You were just sewing up old holes in a pillow case that you found in the back of the closet, hoping to maybe get some use out of it. “Can you sew up this hole for me?"He showed you an old, black shirt with a bullet hole on the chest. “Laurie got me good with a pallet, it put a hole in my shirt, and I haven’t been able to find someone to repair it.”
If you try to stab him with the needle or scissors to skedaddle then your butt is gonna get whooped. 
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" He yelled at you while you tried to break the front door down. "To get away from you! Duh!" You replied before body slamming the door. Leon let out a string of curses as he quickly wrapped his wound with scraps of fabric from the table. Leon soon grabbed you by your waist and dragged you to the bedroom. "Damn it! Let go of me!!" You screamed and held on to the door frame of the bedroom. Leon covered your mouth and pulled you into the room. "You have no reason to scream yet." He hissed in your ear and shut the door. 
If you like reading, he would ask force ou to read to him.
“But, if the werewolf liked the girl, then why wouldn’t he keep her? Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?” he asked. You rolled your eyes, "because the vampire one already had dibs on her. And healthy relationships don't involve kidnapping!" You told him and continued reading. "They obviously don't love her like I love you" Leon mumbled.
If you like drawing, he would ask to see what you’re drawing and he would try to make sure to get stuff for you to draw more. 
Like pencils and pens.
“What are you drawing?” He would ask, standing above you as you leaned over the table. “Is it a zombie?”
“No.”
“A cat?”
“No.”
“What is it?”
“It’s a tree.”
"Oh…"
Leon would frame and or put any drawings or doodles on the fridge.
If you have other hobbies, he would try his best to get you stuff to be able to do the things you loved. 
If he couldn’t, he would watch you and learn what you were doing.
If he had to go to a trial while you were at the house by yourself, he would lock the doors and take the key.
That way you wouldn’t be able to get out while he was gone.
While that did stop you from getting out, it did allow you some time alone without him hovering over you.
You could do whatever you pleased for the few hours that he was gone. 
Wanted to catch up on some extra sleep that got taken away from you?
Then nap time it is!
Want to draw something without him looking over your shoulder?
Freedom to draw whatever you want.
Though, you would have to hide them, since he does go through your stuff regularly.
Especially your drawing notebooks.
But remember, he had to find things that were hidden before he was forced into The Entity’s realm. 
So it won’t be easy to try and hide things from him.
Especially if he is suspicious of you hiding something.
Tumblr media
“What did you do today?” He asked, walking through the door and plopping on the couch next to you. “Nothing much really, just took a nap and tidied up a bit.”. “Then why are the pencils out of place and why are their smudge marks on the table?” He asked, looking at you. He knew you were lying about what you were doing. “I know you were drawing.” He looked at you with an upset glare, “You don’t have to lie about what you do when I’m gone, you know I love your drawings.” He grabbed both of your hands in one of his, his other hand on your upper arm, “Where is it? I would love to see it.”. “I told you, I didn’t draw today. I tidied up, and that included moving some of the drawings I’ve already made.” You ripped your hands away from his. He started to get angry. "Why are you lying to me?" Leon yanked to towards him. "You didn't draw some boy or girl you think like like right? Because I'm the only one you can see in that way!" He was growling at this point. "Damn it Leon! I didn't draw today, and besides, is it really such a bad thing if I don't want you to see my drawings?" You were sweating now. You may or may not have drawn a hot character you had a crush on. But what's the harm in that? And aren't you allowed to have some privacy? "DON'T FUCKIN LIE TO ME!" he screamed and pinned you to the wall. You got the wind knocked outta you. "You know I don't like secrets." You stayed silent.  “I’m going to find it, even if I have to turn this whole place upside down!"
Tumblr media
Yeah…he doesn't like secrets
Especially from you. Couples share everything right?
But if you dont draw and play games instead then maybe you get a game system or a game boy.
Or whatever you need/want for your hobbies
Anywaaays when he is forced to chill in the Killer camp he likes to ease drop on the killers and survivors who were you friends before you got yonked. (Yes you were friends with most of the survivors. You were a pretty friendly and chill killer) 
Leon started to hear rumors of him making a deal with the entity. Which wasn't wrong. But he still didn't you two to be discussed about with these asshats
He also started to hear your friends talk about plans to take you back and beat the utter crap outta our RPD boi.
But sadly for you, that's not happening. The Entity has gotten so much rage from Leon taking his anger out on his once friends. (He gets angry because someone isn't reciprocating his feelings fast enough. 
And Entity is also getting rage and despair from the survivors
To be perfectly honest, I don't think you're ever getting out. Leon's kills is more than making up for you no longer being able to do trials. So the entity is probably gonna leave you in Leon's hands. Forever
"You're mine you got that?" He hissed at you as you kicked and screamed at him to let you go. You had just tried to escape again and Leon caught you. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Leon screamed and dug his nails into your jaw, breaking the skin and causing blood to trail down your neck. You mumbled out a yes. "Good, because you're never leaving me."
Tumblr media
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------- little fun bonus if wanted —-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe one day the Entity decided to let you guys out into the real world for a while since Leon has been so so useful as of late 
That also meant everyone could join.
Leon was pissed about this idea. He only wanted you and nobody else.
Besides, his ex-teammates aren’t probably the happiest with him
You know, killing them and all that.
Killers also didn’t really like him either.
They missed you being around the campfire with them.
But he made a deal, and The Entity was one to never let their side of the deal fail. 
Neither was Leon though.
He always kept his side of the deal.
And he wasn’t going to let anyone else come near you.
You already knew that though, and it wasn’t like you haven’t tried to bargain with The Entity either. 
But at least you could enjoy a day in the real world near your friends. 
So, yay

Can you please write a dark Daemon fic where he abducts Rhaenyra’s lady in waiting when he goes back to King’s Landing to steal the dragon egg.
❄️ DAY ONE OF COUNTDOWN ‘TILL CHRISTMAS ☃️
A/N: oh to be a maid in the right place at the right time, thank you for requesting something on the dark side, it has my heart ❤️ Taking Requests - Link to the characters I write for. Masterlist
Word Count: 1,128
Summary: Reader finds herself walking the halls late at night, running to the kitchen for her rambunctious princess. When she drops a platter of grapes and cheese, an unexpected visitor is there, sneaking away.
Tumblr media
“Don’t drink any more wine, I’ll be right back!” You say, closing the door on what you were witnessing. No one see’s Rhaenyra like you and Cate do, dancing around her room in her bloomers, embarrassing herself.
You wish you could be so carefree. But here you are, hiking down flights of stairs to make a board of cheeses. Just so the princesses stomach won’t be empty and leave her feeling ill. No one thinks like a lady in waiting does.
You curse Cate in your head, “it’s your turn” you recall her saying. You roll your eyes as you pick the vines from grapes. As if you wanted to come down to the dark creepy kitchen late at night. This castle is deadly in the dark.
You settle with the foods you’ve presented, not being able to stand in the kitchen a second longer. You pick up the tray of food, cautiously carrying it back to her room. When you turn the corner for the hidden servants stairs, you’re met with a solid chest.
Expensive cheese and fruit flies everywhere, and you’re on your knees apologizing, picking up scraps from the floor. “Forgive me, I wasn’t paying enough attention to where I was going.” You look up to address the person you crashed into. But it’s the last person you’d expect coming down the servants stairway.
“Prince Daemon, what are you doing here?” You say, knowing he was meant to be hundreds of miles away. You stop searching for chunks of food when you see what he has in his hands. A dragon egg reflects the flicker of flames back at you. You know something is very wrong. “What are you doing with Baelon’s egg?”
You’d know it from anywhere, you sat in the room as everyone held their breath, when the soon to be heir never got his chance to. It was burned in your memory, two lives that were meant to be so full, now taken from each other. Baelon would never ride a dragon, and that dragon would never be ridden by a king.
“That doesn’t seem to be any of your business, does it?” Daemon says, holding his head high while he looks down at you on the floor. You stand to your feet, giving him an incredulous look. “I will have no other option than to go straight to the king. Right at once!”.
You were far from a rule breaker. Anything but straight and narrow stressed you out. There’s a reason you’d been tasked to watch over Rhaenyra so closely. You couldn’t stand and watch as the prince did something so terrible to his brother.
“I can’t let you do that.” Daemon says, stepping in front of you. “Prince Daemon, this isn’t funny, you must put it back.” You say, trying to reason with him. You look between his eyes but there’s no humor in them.
You have a stand-off, Daemon standing on the stairs, holding the dragon egg. Then there’s you, cowered down, covered in food. “I can’t let you leave this castle with that. I would never forgive myself. The king would never forgive me.” You say, letting him know you’re not backing down.
“What makes you think you can stop me?” He says, giving you a laugh that makes your skin crawl. You don’t actually know what you could do. There’s no one around, and since it’s so late, no one would be coming till morning. You couldn’t stand here all night. You couldn’t disarm him, or take it back. His strength very much outnumbers yours.
“That’s what I thought.” He steps past you, as you just stand there, still trying to think of a way to stop him. “Why?” You say, at least needing to know that. He stops in his tracks, turning around to you. “Because it’s fun disrupting things. Being the reason they’re not how they should be.” He steps back towards you. “You look like you’ve never disrupted a thing in your life. I bet you’d like it.”
You shake your head. “Not everyone likes chaos. It’s fulfilling to follow the rules.” He laughs in your face. “Why don’t I show you disruption. Since you think stealing an egg is a criminal offense.” He says, grasping your bicep.
Your eyebrows furrow, standing firm in your spot. “No, just go, they’ll know who did it soon enough.” You say, not wanting to fight with him. He ignores you and pulls you down the hall. “Rhaenyra will be expecting me.” You try to give him a good enough reason to stop his charade.
Every word falls on deaf ears. It’s as if the prince has already made his mind up, and you were the last person in the world who could change it. You start to get frantic when you step outside into the cold air. “Stop, I’m sorry for saying anything. Just let me go.” You begin to plead.
Daemon continues to drag you down to the beach. You see Caraxes waiting there in the distance. You’d never saw a dragon up close. Rhaenyra refused to let you in the pit with her, she feared for your safety. “Please!” You fall to the ground. Now you were terrified. You know the princes’ history. He has no problems with turning you to ash right on this beach.
“I’m too young to die!” You wail out, giving every last shot at survival. Daemon let’s you go, and stands there watching your outburst. “You poor thing. I’m not going to kill you. I’m taking you with me.”. That does nothing to calm you.
“So you can kill me later? No thanks.” You say, laying down on the sand. “I can’t run, or fight you. So kill me now.” You say, at least wanting to die on your own terms.
Daemon bursts out in laughter. You look at him as if he’s a mad man. “You’re getting on that dragon.” He walks over to Caraxes, hiding the egg in a satchel strapped to them. He walks back over to you, grabbing each of your ankles. “Now either I’m dragging you up there, or you can climb yourself. You decide.” You wince as he squeezes your ankles, letting his anger show.
You nod, just wanting him to release your feet. “Good girl.” He turns around, climbing up the side of the dragon. You fall behind him, situating yourself in the leather seat. Your hands shake as you search for something to hold onto.
Daemon wraps a hold around his right hand, and rests his left on your knee beside him, he turns his head, looking back at you. “Scared?”. He thinks this is just a game, you remain quiet as he places your hands on his waist “Just hold on.”

🌈4🌈
When my head touched the pillow in an instant, the morning light arrived…
Exactly, it was already daylight.
I quickly got up, looked around, next to me I had Sally and Julie peacefully asleep, the occasional snore coming out of their mouths. It was as if they had actually slept more hours than I felt. What was happening? Sunlight flooded the house just like yesterday's birdsong.
From outside you could hear a good morning. I went out and went to the first window I could find, opened it and watched as the neighborhood filled with life again with the neighbors.
Wait…what was that smell?
It was strange, it was as if it were something dead, a nauseating smell that was mixed with hints of sweet smell; I had never smelled anything like that. I took several inhalations to look for its origin, this only made me begin to lean forward, allowing a part of my body to come out of the window.
I turned to look down.
Its colors were vibrant, it was as if a rainbow rested on each petal except for some that were a deep blue color that took away the symmetry of its beauty; Although this sounded like the most incredible thing about their figure is not compared to those black and white spots that stole the spotlight from the rest, I would swear that they seemed to be… eyes
I frowned as I felt a new wave of his foul scent.
"Good morning, Jolly" Poppy greeted me from the street, I could see her standing.
"Oh hello"
She walked towards me and told me
"Do you really like flowers? They are wonderful, don't you think?"
"The aroma calls me… a strange aroma, I had never smelled anything like it"
"Where do you come from the pansies don´t exist? These grow everywhere, you could even find them in soup. Sometimes I like to use them for that, they give it a good touch with other ingredients"
"I guess it tastes better than it smells, its smell is horrible" I let out a small laugh.
"That can't be"
Poppy bent down to cut one of those flowers and then smell it.
"To me, it seems like a sweet and splendid smell, even Eddie and Julie make wreaths with them"
She handed it to me and I smelled it again, in a quick reaction I frowned and moved it away from me.
Tumblr media
"Maybe the problem is my nose, it may be broken"
"Oh no! Let me see" With her big wings she took my face to see it closer to her, she held me so tightly that the only thing on the other side of the window was my feet hanging on its frame.
"It seems that everything is in order," she said with a sigh of relief, returning me inside.
"Oh, good morning Poppy," Sally greeted behind me. The two girls slowly walked out of the pillow fort.
"Hello girls" She kindly waved one of her wings as a greeting.
"Yes, I'm hungry. What do you want for breakfast?" Julie asked.
"Waffles! "Let's make waffles!" she said, Sally.
"I'll see you in a while, enjoy your breakfast," Poppy said saying goodbye and walking away from the window.
Both girls shouted:
-We will do it!-
During breakfast, Sally and Julie began to play with their food, they decorated it with colored sprinkles and syrups of all the flavors you can imagine to form funny faces on them, I don't know if it was just me but my waffle looked like…
Tumblr media
"David" I whispered in a sad tone.
"Did you say something? Is there something wrong with your Mr. waffle?" Sally asked.
"No, nothing. Only Mr. Waffle is very delicious" I responded with a smile.
Looking at the clock in the living room I noticed that it was 10 in the morning.
"I think I better get ready to leave" I interrupted and then got up on the table.
"Wait!"
Julie also got up and told me:
"I have been thinking and we should wash and even mend your clothes"
"It's true, you should leave completely renewed. This way you will have much more strength to find your friends,” Sally replied.
"I really don't want to abuse your kindness" I responded.
"I insist, now we are friends. And friends always support each other"
I guess they had a good point, what I was wearing were nothing more than scraps that I found along my way, things that I could even consider as proof of my survival.
"So what am I going to use? I don't think I can´t spend most of the day in my pajamas"
"Let's see what's in my closet, you may be a little taller than me, but I Julie "fashion icon" know that I have something perfect for you, trust my magical design skills," She said moving his fingers while He began to walk backward until he entered the room.
"Come on!" Sally said pushing me inside. After they finished getting ready it was my turn.
I scrolled through thousands of outfits, some that were tight and some that were too baggy, many more was like something Sally said "didn't suit my vibe," from plain colored clothes to those that had the most eye-catching patterns I've ever seen. Dresses, pants, scarves, shirts, and more flew through the air creating thousands of possible combinations.
"Wait a minute, I think I found the perfect outfit!" Julie said, confident of herself.
In a last round, they dressed me in a three-piece outfit along with some white high-waisted boots. It was a long, puffy, colorful shirt that was accompanied by a black vest with hearts sewn on as pockets and along with an orange skirt.
Tumblr media
"I think…I think I like it" I said
"It's perfect!" They shouted at the same time.
"But there's still something to fix, and that's your hairstyle," Sally said.
"That´s a cinch!" I was dragged again, only now towards the bathroom where they began to brush.
"Gosh, I didn't realize that many parts of your hair are shorter than others everywhere"
"I cut it myself" I confessed embarrassed.
"I'll have to match it. Sally, scissors"
A hairdressing gown had covered me up to my shoulders.
"Let's get to work!" Julie exclaimed.
After a certain time, I began to see many strands sliding smoothly on the hairdressing gown.
"Now we have to style it"
With a few more brushes and several passes of hairspray, Julie was finally done.
"Vuala! My masterpiece!"
When I looked in the mirror I couldn't believe that it was me that was in front of me, I got up and took off the hairdressing gown revealing the complete look.
"Wow"
Sally laughed and said:
"Yes, you are pretty"
I couldn't stop looking at me from head to toe. Am I really pretty?
"Very well, since we are all ready, it is time to go" Julie indicated.
She took my clothes and put them in a yellow bag.
We left the house heading to Poppy's house which was sitting knitting near one of her windows. Julie kindly asked her to fix my clothes and she accepted the task without any problem and even told me that I looked very pretty.
"Thank you," I said shyly.
When we said goodbye we walked to Wally's house to find out what he had in store for us that day.

yes hello hi can u please do like. Any pippin x fem!reader (maybe hobbit fem reader??) content bc I am Starved of Pippin content. literally DEPRIVED atm. hcs or literally anything PLS MAY I HAVE A SCRAP also I love your hcs sm??? all so accurate how actually
Thank you! I’ve actually done a pippin x hobbit!reader but Pippin is such a sweetie and I love him so here are some more crumbs, however not all are x reader
Pippin headcanons
-Definitely has bad seasonal allergies and will sneeze on you
-But he has a cute little sneeze like a kitten
-Also kinda random but he also shakes his head after sneezing
-I’ve mentioned before in a few other posts that he is very much like a dog; specifically those family dogs that are just happy go lucky and love everyone unconditionally
-Give him compliments and praise and he will do anything to get more
-You like it when he does the dishes? And he does a great job? Congrats you won’t have to do the dishes again until he forgets that he is supposed to do them
-If you are someone who likes to fiddle with hair he’s the first to volunteer
-Make him a flower crown and he will wear it with great pride
-He sings to himself while doing chores
-Sometimes he will make up little tunes about you; usually nice…but sometimes to tease you
-But you can’t be mad at him because that smile is just too sweet
-Seriously this hobbit has major pretty privilege
-Possibly the only reason Gandalf didn’t literally punt him
-Can and will talk to anyone; It’s truly an admirable skill
-I like to picture him going up to a scary looking gang of big guys and just befriending them
-Everyone thinks he is going to get himself killed at best; but he ends up with the scariest bodyguards
-“We have only had Pippin for a day and a half but if anything happened to him we would kill everyone in this room and then ourselves”
-Some people hate being picked up but he will not even acknowledge anything has happened if you pick him up
-I think he probably likes being carried around by big folk
-Hand him anything and he will hold it no questions asked and may not even look to see what it is (like how people don’t question what you hand them when they are talking on the phone)
-Tried to befriend a goose as a child; The goose did not want to be his friend
-He leaves little scribbled out notes everywhere. On his arm, and scrap paper, your arm, etc. because he forgets things often
-Will always challenge you to a rock skipping challenge but he has only ever gotten a rock to skip one time
-But hobbits like throwing things I think or at least are very good at it so it’s all good fun anyway
-Just shows up at your house randomly and will eat your food while waiting for you to notice or come home
-Don’t worry about how he got in if it was locked, it’s probably fine…
Headcanons like this are something I’m sure I will think of more, and probably better ones after I have this up so I may add too it
Hope this was alright :)

Voices (Platonic)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
From as early as you could remember you never felt truly alone in this world
Even after being left with no parents
Just only as yourself against this great big world you
A young kid without a cent to your name nor a home to go to
Just the open land and the small towns you’d end up staying at for momentary rest
Despite all the odds set against you
Despite the fact your should’ve been dead within the month you were left to die
You persevered
You survived
With only the help of yourself and the voices in your head that would advise you of what to do
As odd as that sounds the voices had been the closest thing you’d had to Friends and a family
The chorus of them telling you how to survive
That you need to ration food, that not clear water was to be avoided when you needed a drink, scavenge for food
There were many of them in the depths of your mind
All of which sounded distinct yet melded together into a symphony
But out of the sea of them one always stuck out from the rest
The others would quiet when he spoke, a deep yet relaxed voice that would echo
He’d speak only a few times when the others were indecisive, but when he did there was a certain air to it
He was the leader of them
His opinion was final to them as was your own on the subject you needed help on
Though his options could be…less law abiding than they probably should be it was for your sake
So your follow his suggestions to get by
You travel from place to place
Going to the west coast in the winter
Traveling everywhere else when summer and spring rolled around
It wasn’t easy but that was your life
Living off the land and mother natures resources
You’d push though the hours from sunrise to sunset
Falling asleep as they sing you lullabies within the confines of your mind
Cooing at how adorable you looked as you curled up under some scraps of cloth
Looking up towards the stars as the leader of them told you myths of their creation
How the constellations that had guided your way had stories tied to them
Like Orion forget hunting Ursa Major in the night sky
Life is strenuous but it is worth it to survive
You end up in yet another town on your travels after grabbing some apples from an orchard
They leave a sweet coating of juice in your mouth as you duck into an alleyway for shade
The voices (whom at this point told to you to call them “chat”) talking within your mind
Spouting out small ideas of what to do next as you take a swig of water
You’d found a flask a couple weeks back from an old drunkard
He was passed out so you took it as your own
Washed it out and replacing it with water on the suggestion of chat
Apparently the amber liquid stored in it wasn’t good for you
“So where to next?”
“ I say we go to cali” “nah I say Canada” “oh, oh! What about Kansas” “New York?” “Eh, unless you want them to be stabbed the minute they arrive” “hey New York isn’t that bad, it’s Chicago you have to worry about” “average New Yorker L” “oh screw off-“
“Heading to San Diego should be a focus for us. It’s getting colder and it’ll take awhile to get there”
The others quiet down hearing the voice whom called himself “Techno” speak
Then erupting in murmured agreements making you nod
You get up from sitting on a nearby box when you suddenly hear something
Shouting along with the scream of a woman
Despite the protests of chat you stalk further into the alley
Picking up a stray beer bottle as you peak out from behind a corner
There’s a man with his back facing you, in ragged clothes as he holds a woman with what seems to be a knife pointed at her
Across from him is a man, presumably her husband with long golden locks that curled at the ends
He’s glaring at the mugger, before his eyes fall on you
Your eyes are trained on the man holding the woman hostage
The broken bottle in your hand feeling lighter as you feel a feeling wash over you
Blood
You wanted- no NEEDED blood
Blood for the blood god is changed in your head as you see red
Everything is a blur
One moment your gripping the broken bottle about to help the lady and the next your standing over the injured form of the mugger
Blood splattered on your face and hands as the lady you saved and her husband kneel down and look at your worriedly
Curious, no one except the voices had ever expressed care for you
Others would look at you in disdain and anger for just existing
Yet these obviously well off couple are wiping the blood off your face
“Dear lord are you ok?! Funny! Should we get them to a doctor?”
“Ill go get one and try to find their parents-“
“I don’t have those, also I don’t really have the money for a doctor. Thanks for the offer though”
They both go silent at that, staring at you with confusion that morphs into horror
“So your saying your an orph-“
“Nononono, I am NOT and orphan.” You pause for a moment thinking of how to phrase is before responding back with “I’m just a child without any adult figures in their life left to fend on their own. I’m not a blood sucking orphan, there’s a difference” Via the suggestion of one of the voices
Honestly for them to even suggest that makes the voices get all rowdy in your head
Calling the two “plebs” and mumbling “common L”
You swear if you weren’t used to this you’d have a migraine by now
Both look at you even more worried
Glancing back to one another before the woman offers you a hand
Your hesitant to take it but decided to do so when they offer to take you in
An opportunity you knew you couldn’t pass up
The couple you now formally knew as scarlet and Funny Valentine take you in as their own after this encounter
It’s weird for you at first
For all your life you had to fight for everything
Food, water and clothes were luxuries you barely came across
At night you’d almost freeze and in the days you’d be baked alive by the sun
So now having all resources without so much as a word is confusing
It’s certainly nice…but still something you need to get used to
Both Scarlet and Finny are understanding though
They seem to know that this a process for you
And are understanding when you don’t initially trust them or seem confused when they tell you to have a brush your hair in the morning
You can’t eat a lot at first, your body not being able to handle it
It’s still hard getting used to having a full stomach rather than empty on the point of collapse
Funny is especially empathetic though
Handing you the foods in which you desire as you take small nibbles
Slowly and slowly filling yourself up and upping the amounts you eat as time progresses
Chat helps ease you into this as well, telling you to take things slowly
Telling you when to up the proportions slightly as your meals get bigger
In this time you find yourself often talking to the man whom had taken you in
His conversations with you are warm-hearted
Often tinged in a certain sweetness as he sits beside you on the countertop
Munching down on an apple as you talked of the stories told to you
Odysseus and his journey home
The fate of Jason and the karma of it
Or the tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice
To your surprise he finds himself interested as you regale these tales
No one but chat had ever really listened to you
So you enjoy these small moments with him as he tells his own
Particularly of his father and philosophy of the napkin analogy that he uses on a day to day basis
You grow into a routine and the normality of your new home
Fresh meals, hot baths and comfortable clothes
Being able to have the privilege to be able to say you have a loving set of parents
One’s who helped you with your education and let you run free
A year or two later you began gardening after seeing the large estate seeming rather empty
Just an empty lot of greenery, not even used for flowers
Scarlet and Funny let you begin your garden that slowly grows in size
You grow many vegetables and Berries but more specifically potato’s
Techno had extensive knowledge due to something he called the “potato war”
So your in particularly good hands when you begin to grow the crop
It is during that time that you begin to see a figure
It starts off as small glances at first
In the corner of your eyes as a translucent figure momentarily catches it
But then you see it…well rather him more consistently
Until finally one night you fully interact with the figure
It’s another late night that you find yourself laying awake in bed
It is dark yet your not afraid
You were used to pitch darkness by now, your eyes adjusted to the lack of light letting you get up and navigate out your room
The long hallways creaking quietly beneath the weight of your footsteps
Wool socks cushioning the sound ever so slightly as you sneak through the olds halls
By now you know the house by heart
Knowing where all the loose floorboards are and how the last step of the stairs bended too much into the hardwood ground so you had to be slightly careful
You end up in the kitchen like usual
Picking up a small snack of an orange
Turning around to see the figure
Long pink hair, a crown placed upon his head, red cape lined with soft fur and a mask of a pig
Tusks poking out giving him a more intimidating look
Your hand grabs a nearby knife holding it out to him defensively
“Easy kiddo, it’s just me”
Your eyes widen at that familiar voice as Chat begins yelling in your mind
“Holy shit!” “Plot twist of the century” “look at him! Our boy!” “Damn he be looking stylish” “the drip fr” “the blood god and the blood messiah”
“Blood messiah?”
“Yeah…so here’s the deal kid”
He tells you about how he is what’s called the “blood god” and that your his “blood messiah” or aka his chosen human to carry his power/his apprentice of sorts
It makes sense to you now why he taught you so much growing up
“What’s with chat though?”
“Eh, their just a package deal with me unfortunately. Like an extra freebie in a deal”
“Bruh did we just be called an extra” “L” “the disrespect”
“Shut up guys, we can still hear you all”
As his blood messiah you are gifted his strength along with his guidance
But with that comes the price of those perks
To use his power you needed blood of some sort, and with that came a bloodlust that will occasionally overwhelm you
A small price to pay for his power
“So when that mugger…”
“Yeah that was a taste of it. Not the best thing to deal with, but I’m gonna teach you to deal with it”
“So uh…what now?”
“Focus on you, What you want in the moment. Some big stuff is happening, war and death brewing as we speak. So you have to make use of the time you have now to enjoy life, be a kid”
You nod, watching as he smiles and ruffles your hair
“There’s a lot you need to learn but for now we’ll take it slow.”
“Alright”
“Chin up kid, don’t let your crown fall”
After saying this he flicks your forehead and disappears
His laughter filling your mind as your left staring in the spot he once stood
Moonlight casting a dim glow in the kitchen
A week after this occurred you end up asking at dinner if you could have horseback lessons
It is out of nowhere and it leaves both your parents stunned for a moment before both eagerly with excitement assure you that your more than welcome to do so
You’d never really asked for much whilst in their care
Clothes and toys never on your list of wants
Hell, it took a whole interrogation for them to try and figure out that you like books
Most specifically (and somewhat oddly) the art of war
So having you just openly ask for something is a big thing for your parents
A day later Funny and Scarlet are taking you out to a ranch with several horses lined up in their stables
You make a B-line towards the end of the stables to find a lone horse
An Andalusian, with a mainly grey coat that has speckles of black and a light coloured mane
A beautiful stallion that seems to call out to you
“You sure you want her?, she’s not the most cooperative”
“Even better. She has stubbornness, I like that”
The man gives you an odd look but shrugs as you enter her stall
She’s even more beautiful up close
And her personality is more apparent when the horse gives a loud gust of a sigh out her nose
You have a feeling she’s the perfect choice
The next coming months you slowly learn the basics of horseback along with getting to know the mare who was named “cure”
At first the horse was resistant to the idea of letting you be her rider
And there were many scuffles that had left your bruised and bloodied
None of which phased you and just left you with a smile as you whipped away the blood
But with the course of time she began to warm up to you
Because you hadn’t saw her as below you
You were her equal
For as rider and steed there had to be mutual respect of each other
It is gradual but you get better
Get more comfortable with Cure running to her hearts content
Techno and the voices once again help with some tips
The blood god talking of his own steed named Carl who resided within his realm
Her saddle was exclusively for you and neither of you would have it any other way
Riding her and feeling the wind scrap across your face was a feeling you now didn’t know how to live without
Watching you speed past the other horses as she jumps over a fence and just keeps going
It turns out to be something that Funny and Scarlet end up watching as you blindly smile
It is perhaps one of the happiest they’d seen you
Just running free as you were so many years ago
You are happy and content
But that can’t last forever
Especially as your father brews something
It comes to you like a slap to the face when he reveals he’s gonna run for president
The voices, but especially Techno rousing in anger as he talks of his plans to run the country
You couldn’t help excuse yourself as the yelling in your head caused a small migraine
For all your life till this point Techno had taught you of how power pollutes
That anarchy was better than government because of the factor that no one person was in power
It couldn’t fall into a dictatorship is no one was in charge
That these appointed leaders thought themselves to be god and looked down on their subjects
Until they are brought down from their pedestal via a guillotine
It leaves you conflicted because this was your father
The one who had taken you in when no one else would
Feed, clothed and made sure you had a roof over your head
The man who proudly proclaimed that you were his child despite no blood being shared between the two of you
A man who smiled proudly when you rode atop Cure and worried himself to death when the horse stubbornly bucked you off her back
Your left conflicted
It only gets worse as his campaign is seeming to prove successful with the people
Whilst your left to try and act happy for him despite the yelling in your mind
It is a difficult time for you, more difficult than your early years on the streets
Cause at least then there wasn’t the emotional turmoil you felt ripping apart your insides
There wasn’t the divide between your morals of hating government and loving your dad
You hope he somehow doesn’t win but no god answers your prayer
At his inauguration your left standing near him and Scarlet
An empty reserved smile plastered on your face as you hold back tears
The voice shave stopped screaming
They are remorseful as is Techno who try to comfort you when seeing you break down internally
Your heart fighting against your mind
Being left in a stalemate, a limbo of confusion
You try to spend more time with mom after that, using the excuse of not wanting to bother your dad
It works but there’s a noticeable sadness you see in his eyes when you excuse yourself from his presence
Scarlet is more than happy to spend time with you though
She takes you shopping with her
Buying you the latest blouses of your desire along with jewelry that catches your eye
Apparently due to Techno you have some weird fascination with gold, something he says has transferred to you
With spending time out with her though you begin to notice how her eyes linger
You know for a fact she loves your dad
But you see her looking intently at women
A stare that not of just of the friendly type
No, it’s deep and intense
Tinted with a undertone of something else that you don’t wish to think of
Her seeming attraction is none of your business though
So you ignore it and spend time with her at cafe’s as squads of guards flock to your sides
Not knowing you were likely the most dangerous person in the room
You find it annoying to now constantly have people flanking you whoever you went
The guards themselves are fine but you wanted to be alone when planting potatoes
Or riding Cure
Well…at least your potato business has been booming as of late due to your dad
But that leaves a bit of a bitter taste in your mouth that people are NOW interested in your delicious crops
Damn trend hoppers
In the house during the late nights you find yourself now more restless than usual
That feeling of bloodlust that was managers now getting worse and worse as time progressed
Sometimes it was bad enough you found yourself on occasionally blacking out and finding yourself standing in the kitchen or by your dads office
It leaves you terrified
So terrified that your mom seemingly caught on and your dad one day asked if you were alright
You say that you are but you really aren’t
He can see through the lie as clear as day
He’s left somewhat hurt, offering you help that you vehemently deny
The bags beneath your eyes only seem to get worse as the days progress
Yet another restless night your left awake
The gnawing hunger for blood feeling as if it were pulsating within your veins
Just the thought of crimson makes it worse
The feeling of the hunger not going away
“Kid just focus on me. Gets some fresh air, alright?”
Techno’s translucent form appears once more
He’d been doing that more often but never in front of anyone else
Apparently there were people called “stand users” who could possibly hear and see him
He didn’t want to risk that
“O-ok”
You stumble out your room
Hand scraping against the wallpaper as your walk past several familiar doors
There’s darkness expert for a sliver of light coming out from the door of your dads office
…strange he’s usually not awake at 4 am even though he’s been staying up later than usual
You end up highjacking your original goal and heading for his door
Being careful not to hit any loose floorboards as you listen to him speaking…to himself?
You can hear his speaking aloud and his voice also responding back
It leaves you confused along with Techno and the voices who all chime in with the thought of him being crazy or cracking under the pressure
But you know your dad well enough to know it isn’t either
You decide to bend down and stare through the keyhole
“Do you think this could really work?”
“It has to, plus it’s more convenient as a cover story. People interfering can be eliminated and be written off as weather conditions or incompetence.”
“There will be people watching though”
“It’ll get the countries spirits up. Things will only get better when we get the corpse parts, it’s only uphill from here”
There in the office is two versions of your father conversing with one another
Oblivious to your spying as your left shocked at whatever the fuck This revelation was
“Stand user, and it doesn’t sound like he has something good planned if I’m honest”
Techno’s words seem to reverberated in your mind
As your left jaw agape just staring
No, your father was a kind man
He would never-
“Sacrifices will likely need to be made. I’m willing to make them though for the greater good of my country, for my family”
You feel sick, stomach swirling as you walk back
And then you step on a creaky board
You hear both of them still whatever conversation that we’re having
Your left momentarily frozen as the door opens
Whatever hostility in his eyes fades, they soften at the sight of you
“Dear are you ok? What are you doing up so late? You need sleep, those bags under your eyes are worrying me and your mom”
Time to bullshit your way out of this
“I…I had a nightmare. I went to get my mind off it and saw you were awake so..”
He gives a soft smile, ushering you in
You do so with some hesitance as he guides you to the plush seat his clone? Was sitting on earlier
“What was it about?”
You pause to think of an answers after a moment
“You”
His eyes widen ever so slightly before he presses and asks “what exactly about me?”
“I…had a dream that you changed. That when you became president you weren’t the same person, that you became…” you Try to find the right word “corrupted”
His eyes become gentle once more as he ushers you into a hug
It is warm and you wish to revel in it more
His hand weaving it’s way into rubbing a comforting motion of circles into your scalp
“You have nothing to fear. Nothing like that would ever happen, because I do, I do for you and our people”
Perhaps that is what scares you the most in this situation
The lengths he would go in doing what he believed was right even if he couldn’t see the harm he was truly doing
It was a pipeline
A downward spiral he would not see
It sets in motion what you know that you need to do
You enjoy in the last time you’d likely feel the warmth of his hug
For in the morning you’d be gone before they even knew it
You had to stop whatever he had planned

domestication
"To be quite honest, Mister..." the Cat Ambassador begins.
"Fell.”
"Mister Fell, to be quite frank with you, my people are not interested in being pet as much as our neighbors to the east are keen to enjoy." The cat chances a sideways glance in the direction of the Dog Ambassador, who has already prostrated himself at the foot of Mr. Fell to receive a thorough ear-scratching.
"We will take you up on your offer of nice foods," she continues, "But this excessive...touching won't be necessary."
The Chicken Ambassador bobs her head in accord. And continues bobbing.
"But once in a while is fine," the cat quickly adds, feeling she may have insulted the Dog Ambassador. He is not listening. He is receiving a belly-rub.
"Good good, not a problem at all." Aziraphale gives the dog two end-of-belly-rub pats and straightens back up in his chair to address his notes. "So, we have cats offering pest control, pigs offering food, chickens offering food and eggs, and all of you will receive your fair portion of necessary grains and food scraps daily. Now, horses, you requested...?"
"Foot care."
"Noted."
As Aziraphale scribbles away, the animals all look around the table, a simple square table in a small patch of ether, not too formal of an affair, stick-on name tags for each attendee, as this was the beginning of domestication and funding was tight. Their many eyes search the faces of their companions, half-challenging, looking for any glint of weakness as each is certain that their own deal was the deal best bargained.
"So that leaves..." Aziraphale flips through his pages, humming. The animals glance around, until their eyes rest on two so-far silent figures, and an expectant hush falls upon the room. Aziraphale stops his hum and looks up.
The Cow and Bull Ambassadors, a married pair, are hunched at one side of the square table with their bulk filling the full side and heaping out into the space around them. The Goat Ambassador looks them up and down, chewing slowly; and in accord with their distant familial ties, she elects to keep them distant.
"Bull and Cow," the bull says. "Happy to oblige."
"Well met, Bull and Cow," Aziraphale replies. "And what do you have to offer?"
"We'll give you milk," the cow begins, "more than one man could possibly drink in one day."
The goat stops chewing.
"Meat," the bull adds. "Everything you see here."
The pig snorts.
"And all the work that the horses do, but no complaints, and no shoes needed."
The horse blows a hot gust of air out of his nose and the rest of the animals turn to one another, incredulous, noises rising to an almost deafening din.
"And what do you request in return?" Aziraphale’s disembodied voice soars over the crowd. Peacock Ambassador is on the table, feathers out, blocking the angel’s face in full defiant display.
"Grass," the bull replies. The animals fall silent.
"But you already have grass. Grass is free."
"Grass," the bull repeats louder, as if Aziraphale didn't hear.
"Yes, alright, well, grass grows everywhere, that's not something I give you, you would just find it in your free time anyway," Aziraphale says.
"That's fair."
"No, I don't think you—what can I give you for taking your meat and milk?" Aziraphale demands.
"I don't know," the bull says, glancing at the cow. "Grass?"
Cow sighs and offers a hopeless shrug. "Mister Fell, you may as well take his balls too. God knows he's not using them now."

if this flops I'll give up and delete this, but I have started chapter 2 already.
CHAPTER ONE:
This was supposed to be the best day of Ballisters life. He would become a knight and finally prove to everyone that he wasn't a waste of time and resources. He ended up proving the exact opposite. He destroyed the glorodome and killed the queen. Worst of all,his own boyfriend cut off his arm! Now he was on the run, tired, shocked, bleeding and he’s the kingdom's most wanted criminal, but it wasn't his fault! Right? Someone sabotaged him or something, his sword, or, I guess his not-sword was switched. It was a laser, a laser that shot the queen. He doesn’t know who did this, but he’ll figure it out…he has to.
Everything hurts. He’s clutching his arm while he runs so as to not bleed out. That's the most important right now. If he bleeds to death he’ll never be able to prove his innocence. He’ll die with Ambrosius thinking he was a monster. After what felt like hours of running he finally made it to an abandoned tower deep in the forest. People in the kingdom never go in the forest. Thats where monsters lie, and you definitely never go alone. But Ballister had no where else to go. And maybe if he where here, the knights wouldn't search for him. 
The tower was tall and made of stone. The stone walls were cracked and some even had mold on it. There was a gate outfront and within the gates there was trash and scrap metal scattered all over. The insides were not any better. It smelt awful and the place was a shit hole. Papers everywhere and a couch that has holes all over. There were definitely bugs in this tower.
It wasn’t sanitary but it’ll have to do for right now. He needs a way to seal this wound, it would be better for him to stitch it up but there's no sewing supplies and Ambrosius just had to take his dominant hand. He has to go with the next best thing: cauterization. 
He grabs the supplies, in the corner of the room there was a gas stove, a knife, a rag, and some old alcohol that probably wasn't safe to drink. Ballister knew there was a risk he’d get an infection but it's a risk he’s willing to take. He heats the knife with the stove and takes the rolled up rag and shoves it in his mouth. He braces himself before pressing the hot metal to his stub. It hurts like hell, even with the rag screams escape his mouth. He can’t stop the tears from pouring down his face. He wants to stop but he knows he has to close the wound. He moves the knife to a different part of the wound and presses harder. This feels worse than the arm itself being cut off. At least then it was quick and he had adrenaline. But this feels never ending. After about 20 minutes he finished. It's uneven and he definitely burnt it badly but it's all sealed up. He grabs the alcohol and chugs it before falling to the floor. That's one less problem for him to deal with at least. After drinking some more bottles of alcohol he finally passes out.
The next day he begins to design an arm. Once he had an arm he could begin investigating the incident. The arm that he cauterized hurts like hell but he ignores it as best as he can. Over the course of a week he scavenged as many resources as he could. Scrap metal, wires, food, more alcohol, even some bandages. The pain of his arm has died down a bit, not completely though. He still drinks the pain of it away, and that's totally the only pain he's drinking away. Not any of the emotional trauma of killing your mother figure and your boyfriend mutilating you horribly. Definitely not. 
Ballister found a nearly empty journal that he could document evidence he found, his designs for his arm and just random writing he needed to deal with the stress of everything. It’ll be good to keep his ideas all in one place, and its like a form of therapy for him. Because once he clears his name he’ll definitely need it. He’ll just leave out the countless nights of crying, drinking, and crying again.
May 3rd
Its hard to write, since I’m using my left hand. I havent looked for any clues as to what happened that night. I think someone switched my sword, the squire was the last person before me to touch it. I don’t know why he would do something like that, but if it was him, I’m gonna figure it out. I dont know if me and Goldenloin are still…a thing. After this I doubt it. I’m gonna tell him it wasnt me. I know he’ll believe me. He’s the only person I know for sure will trust me.
He knows Ambrosius will believe him. They're- no, they were best friends- NO, they were boyfriends. For years. Ambrosius was the only person Ballister really trusted and vise versa. But what if Ambrosius doesnt trust him anymore. What if he really does think he’s a murderer. What if he’s currently looking for him, to arrest him…to kill him. No Ambrosius would never do that, he’s sure of it.
