Sanji dealing with getting you pregnant by accident? ❤️👀

Yes! Love this ask.

With the way Sanji is, I don’t believe he got you pregnant by accident. Once you're his, your happiness and having a large, loving family would become his only goals. That being said, the man is no fool—he knows the life of a pirate isn’t exactly child-friendly. As overprotective as Sanji already is, the realisation that you’re carrying his child flips a switch in him. He would go to great lengths to keep you both safe, and nothing would be too much of a sacrifice.

He wouldn’t risk it. Not while he’s running around chasing after Luffy’s wild adventures. Sanji would take every precaution to ensure that the next pregnancy only happens on his terms. This means no more cumming in you, no matter how much he might love the intimacy of it. Instead, he’d revel in painting your body with his devotion, worshiping you in his own way. Condoms, the One Piece equivalent of birth control, male hormonal contraceptives—he’d take them all without hesitation if they existed, all for your sake.

That being said... accidents happen.

When you tell him, Sanji’s world stops.

He freezes, staring at you like you’ve just whispered the secret of All Blue itself. For five full minutes, his lips move, but no sound escapes.

“Sanji... did you hear me?”

Finally, he exhales shakily, his voice trembling with overwhelming emotion. “I... Of course, Mi Amor... I... Are you really?”

The slightest nod of your head is all it takes for him to erupt. Sanji lets out a joyous laugh, grabbing you by the waist and spinning you around in the galley, his laughter mingling with the tears streaming down his face.

“I’m going to be a daddy!”

He sobers almost instantly, setting you down gently onto the nearest booth seat as though you’re the most precious, fragile thing in the world. His hands cup your face before frantically moving to your belly, scanning every inch of you as though checking for damage. Overprotective Sanji has entered the chat.

From that moment on, Daddy Sanji is intense.

He insists on weekly—if not daily—checkups with Chopper. Each visit becomes a ritual, with Sanji grilling the little doctor on your condition, your baby’s progress, and the best ways to keep you healthy.

Every meal he cooks for you is carefully crafted under Chopper’s strict guidance, with dangerous or unhealthy foods banned entirely from the ship. Luffy’s cries of protest are met with steely resolve, but even Sanji can’t stop the crew from sneaking you the occasional contraband snack.

Cravings, no matter how wild, are dealt with immediately. Even if it pains him to his culinary core, Sanji will make the monstrosities you and the baby demand. The crew quickly catches on to this, bribing you with treats to coerce Sanji into fulfilling their own food-related fantasies- at a price of course, Nami taught you well. Every item banned during overprotective reign is accepted.

One day, you innocently request a dish you’ve been craving—a combination of pickles, whipped cream, and ramen with extra cheese.

Sanji pales. “Why, my love? This is an abomination against everything I hold dear.”

“Just make it, you shitty chef,” Zoro snickers from his perch in the corner, sake bottle in hand. “You can’t refuse her. I mean, you’re the reason she’s in this condition in the first place.”

Sanji shoots him a death glare but can’t argue. Pride shattered, he sets to work assembling the monstrosity, muttering curses under his breath.

From the moment he learns of your pregnancy, Sanji forbids you from fighting. The life of a pirate, he argues, is no place for a pregnant woman or a child. If push came to shove, he would leave the crew to ensure your safety, though it would break his heart. If you insisted on staying, he’d enlist Franky to build a panic room on the Sunny—somewhere impenetrable where you could hide if danger arose.

As your pregnancy progresses, Sanji’s protectiveness intensifies. By the later stages, you’re confined to the ship entirely, much to your frustration.

“Sanji, this is ridiculous,” you protest, standing by the railing and eyeing the uninhabited island the Sunny is anchored near. “It’s just to stretch my legs. Zoro will be right there.”

“Like I’d trust that moss-headed idiot with you,” Sanji mutters, pressing his forehead against yours and letting his hands rest protectively on your growing bump.

Despite his overbearing tendencies, Sanji is endlessly tender. He worships your changing body with every fiber of his being, kissing every stretch mark, every curve, every sign of the life growing within you. To him, you’ve never been more beautiful.

Each day is filled with his whispered affirmations, gentle touches, and promises of the future he dreams of for the three of you—a peaceful life, far from the chaos of the Grand Line, where he can devote himself entirely to being the best husband and father you could ever imagine.

And though his overprotectiveness may drive you crazy at times, there’s no denying the depth of his love and the unshakable devotion he holds for you and your child.

I love a pregnant reader x Sanji ask! Thank you for all the requests! Keep them coming

begging for more monster 141🙏🙏🙏

hear me out- reader is a host to venom but has it hidden and they find out maybe…?

(i got hyper fixated on blue’s au and SCOURING the internet💀)

What if… Hunter was Venom?

Pairing: Monster Task Force 141 + König & Horangi x venom reader

Cw: blood and gore, canon typical violence, head eating, gaslighting by Hunter, injury, fighting, tell me if I missed any. Wc: 3.4k

Only Human masterlist

Sometimes, they’d find you mumbling to yourself, voice so low that, unless they were a hybrid or had impeccable hearing, they wouldn’t be able to hear it. It was a ne’er silent whisper of harsh words or soft coos towards a being they couldn’t see. Were you talking to someone on your headset? Were you wearing EarPods to talk to someone? Or had you lost some screws in your mind after working with them for so long? None of them truly knew, but they wouldn’t bother you with it when you never bothered them with pesky questions that sounded insulting to them. After all, why would they bother their adorably useful and resourceful medic? You were the beating heart of the Task Force, you made it whole and functioning. Yet, they couldn’t stop the curiosity that festered in their mind, the need to know what made you talk to yourself, mumbling and cursing when you were alone. 

Nothing seemed out of order, you were still strong-headed and scolding them like you did the day before, mumbling about Soap’s recklessness and Gaz’s impending fate of falling out of airborne vehicles. About Price’s habit of working too hard, pushing his already pained body to work. Pulling Ghost by the - bloody and soiled - sleeve to your infirmary with a deep frown and eyes glinting with the promise of retribution for the hybrid that hid whatever ailed him from you; you were the medic for Pete’s sake! It was your duty to watch over them. Hounding Alejandro for his medical check after a deployment because, as handsome and dependable as he was, he liked hiding his wounds. Running after Rudy for his checkups while he was limping or trying to avoid you. Calling after Horanji for his share of the affection, needle, scalpel, bandage and all, he needed and deserved all the others received. Or sitting beside König, reminiscing about your early days, where taking care of your patients was as easy as taking care of König was, grateful and pliant, showering you with love and adoration before, during and after the procedures. 

You had your plate full with them, so it’d be unheard of if you had time to care for others. You might’ve been a medic on base, but your priorities and loyalties lay with them, with Task Force 141 and its allies. However being a - their - medic, didn’t mean you were free from any pain, fear or quirkiness as they were. You were as weird and as awful as every single one of them was, wearing it pridefully on your chest when you stood with them; even if you were wholly human - or you were supposed to.

Ghost caught fleeting moments where a dark mass would move around you, a glistening blob of marble-like texture with silver rivers running across it. It was near impossible to see it when it would disappear once it felt - even the slightest indication - the presence of another living being, like an illusion of trick of the light. That’s what you told them, it was simply a trick of the light or something because you didn’t know anything about an ugly blob. It was told slowly and persuasively with a wince once the words “ugly blob” left your mouth, a pained grimace as if something was grating your ears or claws were digging into your mind. When he brought it up with Gaz - who had impeccable eye-sight, the harpy would agree, spewing words about it having a menacing face with wide, pointed eyes and a mouth full of teeth. Big and sharp teeth that seemed alien-like. It couldn’t have been the trick of the light, especially since both of them saw the same thing. They asked you once more, together this time, but you’d reassured them that they were both tired when they’d seen this blob. You were tired and sometimes saw moving forms from the corner of your eyes too, so it might’ve been hysteria - collective hysteria.

Soap, if he tried hard enough, would sometimes hear a deep voice echo around you. It wasn’t something disturbingly deep, or annoyingly alien, it was pleasingly deep with a smooth undertone to its growls. It would send chills up his spine when he heard it, but he would always catch your voice talking back to it. He’d hear hisses and curses, some more unusual and others more normal: “I can’t eat my teammates!”, “I told you no!”, “Stop eating heads! People will catch on!” or “Can you shut up?” and “I can’t concentrate with you screaming my head off!” Soap, knowing how good Alejandro’s hearing was, asked if the Mexican had heard you speak with an unknown voice, specifically a male voice. A few muffled conversations between you and an unknown man and sometimes one-sided, but, simply put, Alejandro had witnessed the same occasions as the Scot had. It wasn’t unusual to talk to yourself, would it? Soap liked to boost his own morale with confident words and flattering compliments to himself. Alejandro wasn’t a stranger to mumbling to himself either, cursing his choice in life and how he ended up with his - lovable - problem-causing band of vagabonds.

If you weren’t careful or unintentionally careless, there would be a distinct odour clinging to your skin. It would be strong and pungent, the smell fresh and metallic-like. König knew it well, he craved as much as he wanted to bathe in it, the sweet smell of blood. How could he not recognize the faintest whiff of blood when it often drove him mad with bloodlust and the uncontrollable need to fall into a daze of primal hunger? It stuck to you like a second layer of skin, thin and always present. It sewed into the fundamentals of your scent, the tinge of iron mixed into the sweet, syrupy musk. It drove him mad with need, thirsting for the thing that made you smell so delicious. It clung to you as if you bathed in blood, drinking and devouring it, yet your skin was clean, with no speck of red under your nails, on your skin or between your teeth. In a worry, he went to Price, The Captain had the most knowledge about you and König could trust him to take good care of him, being a dragon. He expected the Brit to know something, even the slightest change, but Price hadn’t caught anything odd about you. Perhaps it clung to you because of your closeness to him, Percht hybrids - although rare - were ferociously unpredictable and ravenously bloodthirsty.

Rudy was the more human of them, so he caught on to the changes in behaviours and habits of others easily. You’d act odd at times, shoulders slightly tense and back slumped inward, body tired but unable to relax. He wanted to help, he proposed, but you’d turned him down, telling him you were fine, that you were just restless from being off duty for so long or for being worked to the bone. He would also catch you subtly avoiding them without ringing any bells, seeming occupied with other things while whispering under your breath; your slower reactions to their banter and the darker bags under your eyes, wearing that dazed and blank look in them while you sat with them; or the strong growl of your stomach and the slight rubbing of your stomach, soothing an ache that rooted so deeply in your abdomen. He worried, often, if he was honest. Even Horangi, a man oblivious to most cues and behaviours in humans, saw the subtle change in your behaviour when you acted odd. He pointed out the rings under your eyes, your fatigued and distracted mind, and your lip-gnawing hunger. For a hybrid that had so much difficulty grasping and understanding humans, he caught on to your change abnormally quickly, even with the excessive chocolate consumption.

They were all suspicious and you, their sweet and convincing medic, had them doubting what they saw, your gaslighting working on them as easily as a child bribed with candy. It didn’t make you feel less guilty or disappointed in yourself, but you weren’t sure how they’d react to him, not being human or a monster. He was a creature out of the pages of a sci-fi novel, a creation of the human mind and imagination. Venom was an alien, something from outer space. You were convincing until you couldn’t anymore.

Let me take over, the soothing voice uttered to you, calling out your name in a concerned tone. Let me protect you.

You were compromised, the enemy had tapped into your line, listening in on your conversations and movements. That’s how they were able to separate most of you, to turn the squad of nine operators down to four smaller teams, all on the run and trying to stick to the shadows without calling to the others through the comms. You were crouched over Gaz, whispering sweet nothings to the hissing man. You soothed his ache, hand and mind strained on the bleeding wound on his forearm, his beautiful, bronze skin stained with crimson in the hot and humid air of Columbia. 

Blood rolled down his tense arm, over his round muscle and sweaty skin, it was a clean graze, the blunt head of the bullet grazing his arm deep enough for it to bleed but shallow enough for it not to leave him incapacitated with blood loss. It was a ray of light in your dreadful situation. You had his wound cleaned and wrapped up, congratulating him for pushing through and helping him up. You cursed the enemy, wondering how the low-stake in-and-out ops suddenly turned out to be an extremely high-stake one with minimal possibility of reaching the evacuation point. 

“C’mon Gaz, we need to move,” you whispered to him, holding your rifle closely to your chest while you walked around the shadows of Guaitarilla’s back alley and dark corners. “We need to regroup at the evacuation point.”

“Yeah, good plan,” he nodded, following your lead even though he was higher-ranked than you, but in such situations, survival was the priority. 

You stuck to alleys, using the shadows to hide from the patrolling cartel that had the town surrounded, it nearly baffled you with the speed of their defences and counter-attack if you hadn’t heard of Las Almas’ attack from El Sin Nombre and The Shadows from you teammates. Although you couldn’t admire them, you could respect their skills and ability, you only wished it was for you rather than against you. 

While you watched ahead, Gaz had your back, peering around the corner before giving him the green to move. It was a rotation between who went first and who looked back, but you made it work with only you both. You were so careful, yet it somehow wasn’t enough, someone had noticed you and it sent you and Gaz rushing for cover, to escape the group of dispatched cartel members. It was stupid, running without looking where you were heading towards. It was stupid to let the enemy tap into your comms. It was stupid, the situation you got yourself into. 

You were backed into a corner, Gaz standing before you like a protective shield between you and the enemy, his rifle pointed toward the quickly advancing group. You wanted to protest about him using his wings to cover you, his wide, brown feathers expanded to hide you from those men. He was already hurt from pulling you away from harm, but he was now standing protectively before you. You couldn’t let him get hurt because of you, not anymore. 

Little One, his voice rang once more in your head, the reassuring pressure of his presence in your body calming you down by an inch. Let me take over.

If you let him take control of your body, it would ensure your and Gaz’s safety, then you could reach the others that you’d lost in the chaos of the battle. While you wore the combat medic’s patch proudly, your prior training before taking up your 16 weeks of medical training wasn't lost to you. You remembered how to aim and shoot, how to snipe an enemy from afar and protect your teammates from whatever danger you faced. None were lost to you, and you’d use every bit of training you had to protect them, whether it was as yourself or with Venom’s help. Venom’s help was undoubtedly useful, and right now, you needed him.

“Please, Venom,” you spoke aloud, your soft voice carrying through the blocked alley. 

“Who-” Gaz asked, confusion laced his tone, the question left unspoken as Venom’s deep, rattling voice boomed across the tight space.

“We are Venom, flesh bag,” he growled, body crouching down, not dissimilar to a feline laying prone while it waited for the right moment to attack, and pounced at the men.

Don’t call Gaz flesh bag, Venom, you whined, your voice echoing in your shared subspace of your mind.

“If that is what you wish.”

His heavy mass landed on a man, pushing him to the ground with a loud crack. You imagined that Venom either broke his back or a few of the Colombian’s ribs, it was sickeningly delightful, the sadistic pleasure from Venom sent you reading with mirth. His hands stretched to abnormal lengths to swing at the enemies with practised ease and familiarity. Whether they’d die from blunt force trauma from Venom’s strength or live with a concussion, none mattered to him, hunger raked his being, the throb aching in the back of his mind. It was a moment where he was let loose, where you wouldn’t need to gorge on an extreme amount of chocolate to keep him fed. This would keep him satisfied for a few weeks. 

Venom pulled the first two in, his jaw widening to clamp down on their neck. Gaz saw the dangerous gleam of Venom’s teeth, rows of pristine and immaculate teeth the size of a finger bled the man’s head red in a single bite. He shivered at the decapitated body that fell from your monster’s hand as he went for the second and third Colombian. He made a show of viciousness and raw, unadulterated bloodthirst with his eating. Fortunately, apart from the bloody mess and dead bodies, Venom was a relatively neat eater, licking his teeth clean from the red stains with a long, slimy tongue. Gaz couldn’t shake how your monster made him apprehensive, his body flinching and trembling at the greater being.

“Let’s go, The Little One wants to rescue the others,” Venom’s grating voice shook Gaz out of his stupor.

“Hu-Hunter’s there?”

Venom nodded, his mass retreating into your body, the mass melting into you like a second skin. It was as if Venom was never there, as if it was all his delusional imagination. Gaz rushed to you, his hands grabbing hold of you as he shook you in his grasp, he cursed in worry, concern lacing every word he spewed in a tornado of fear, curiosity and confusion. His soft feathered wings cradled you, casting a protective shadow over you as you hid in the darkness of the alley. 

“Gaz, we have to go,” you murmured to him, your voice soft and reassuring, trying to help him walk off the edge you were pushed to. You both were safe for now, the cartel that had followed you all laid dead without their heads in a thick puddle of their viscera. “We have to find the others.”

He let out a shaky sign, his head nodding in affirmation at your comforting words. He loved that about you, that ability to heal and mend their ache and anguish with a smile and sweet words. Then, pairing your softness with your stubborn viciousness made you a gem within the military, a one-in-a-million for them. Yet, all that clouded his mind were questions, about your safety, about that monster that melted into you, about what kind or what it was. Gaz had so many questions that he’d push back for the greater good of rescuing the rest of the Task Force, he’d hound you for answers later when everyone was back together. 

When Venom resurfaced, retaking control of your shared body, he’d reassured you that he knew where they were, his body being hyper-aware of the things that made you smile and laugh. You were his host and his joy. It was an easier job than the two of you - you and Gaz - had expected, Venom’s claws digging into the buildings as he scaled the walls to reach the roof. From then, he pulled nothing back, rushing forward with the same enthusiasm as König had when he led first, and leaped, the muscles of his legs pushing him high across the buildings with Gaz flying beside him. 

Venom had made quick work of the situation, his body invulnerable to anything but loud sounds and fire, which none had since it was a rainy night. You found Horangi and Alejandro first, Venom doing what he knew best: protecting you, in relation, what you loved too, and feeding on human heads, the chemicals in the human brains nurturing him. Alejandro and Horangi were naturally confused and distrustful of Venom, but you had Gaz to smooth things over, and knowing that Venom’s way of speaking was curt and up-to-point - annoyingly blunt - it made your body soar with relief. They, albeit confused and curious, followed you from the ground as Venom cleared a path to the next ones.

Price, Rudy and Soap were the biggest team from your unexpected separation. They jumped at Venom’s appearance, Soap throwing threats at him when he took a step towards them. That was expected, Venom - even being the symbiote you were hosting - was a stranger to them and Soap reacted according to his instincts. That blaring, red light that signalled his brain to send his body on complete guard about the danger, Venom couldn’t escape a werewolf’s keen situational awareness. You’d taken the initiative to calm them down, seeing as everyone was already down,  the enemy loaded with bullets and dying in a pool of their blood. You kept the explanation short and simple, giving them the important points before promising to tell Price everything he wanted to know after you found Ghost and König.

Those two were harder to find, forcing Venom to extend himself to sense the slightest presence of either man. It couldn't be easier that Ghost was a wraith, being able to disappear and appear at will and that König knew very well how to hide, perhaps as well as Ghost could. When Venom found them, Ghost shot first, “shoot first, questions later” seemed to lead his decisions with König not far behind him. He brought his arms forward to protect himself and you, hidden within his mass. Venom growled but didn’t attack them, hissing the words you spoke to him to them. It was a simple quote that you’d shared with them in situations where they needed to find you between the hostages or under disguise. 

Like calls to like.

It was simple, but telling. They stopped the moment Venom uttered them, knowing well you were inside Venom, Gaz landing before him and the others steadily arriving behind the two. Task Force 141 was finally complete, from the most humane to the most chaotic hybrid, some were hurt, grazed, protrusions, and stabbed, but all were alive. You were glad, you were really, really happy that everyone was safe and alive.

Seated in the Razor, the silence and tension were thick within the cargo hold, Horangi and Gaz framing your sides with Price taking the seat across from you. You could see the stress and tension rolling off his shoulder after treating everyone, his brows furrowed and a frown curled his lips under his beard. Beside him was Alejandro and Ghost, both - like everyone else - wearing a confused and disgruntled expression on their face, their eyes gleaming with questions left unsaid. You’d left them wondering if their minds were playing tricks on them, if they were seeing things, if they were imagining things and if they were losing their minds. You understood the anger, but you had your reasons to hide Venom’s existence.  

Price crossed his arms, legs spread wide as he leaned back, his head tipped back with an inquisitively serious look. He raised a brow at you, waiting to see if you could prove your case or if you had anything to add before he started. With nothing to say, you bit your bottom lip, your shoulders screwed with anxiety and fear. You didn’t know what to expect now that your well-kept secret was out. 

“We have a lot to talk about, Hunter.”

“I know, Captain.”

Better sooner than later, leaving it to fester and grow would be bad for the TF’s morale and relations.

A little personal note and advice as we wrap up 2024!!

Finally getting some time to myself...Currently in the process of moving apartments so just finding some time now to write and share. It’s been another crazy year. I am always amazed at my life and the things I accomplish each year. The theme for 2024 was definitely healing and wellbeing, and for that I have made transformational change. Some things I did that really made 2024 transformational.

Moved overseas, moved into the apartment that had been occupying my vision board for years. The process to moving overseas started 12 months prior, I went ghost for a few months prayed and meditated every single day asking God for where I should move to (I didn’t know where my vision board home was), I was guided to a location, trialled living there for almost 3 months fell in love, returned home to sort my visa and finally made an official move 1 year later. This was a process of listening to Gods direction and being obedient. I tried to move abroad before and it was truly not in God’s plan, I wasted time, energy and money seeking something that was not for me. Lesson learnt. Listen for God’s direction always. Take action from that place.

I went from having the worst birthday of my entire life last year, to having the best birthday of my entire life this year. The reason I share this is because those dark places you’re in right now can literally be a catapult to your dream life, just like the previous story. In my darkness last year, I swore to have the very best birthday this year. A yacht, girls trip, amazing food, music. I imagined it all, and I did it all. It was incredible. I loved being on the yacht, I loved that I arranged it and I loved that my dreams were possible. I planned this trip from January with friends and at points I thought it wasn’t going to happen, the boat prices were super expensive, the boat I loved didn’t allow food.. But I persisted. I convinced the boat to make an exception. It was truly a magical birthday. And the lesson is to dream big and make plans, even if you don’t have the funds, even if it’s seems wild. You can experience your dream life if you stay focused and committed (time and planning makes this a lot easier).

Walking away from people you care deeply about, for your own wellbeing. There was a particular person in my life who actually transformed me, this connection was one of those that shift the entire direction of your life, they lift the veil and open your eyes to a new way of thinking, of seeing yourself and loving yourself. But these people are like angels that come to help and heal  you, but sadly have to leave when that season is over. And this was the case, I did try to hold on for longer but, every part of me knew my season with this person had past. As painful as this is, walking away means it’s back in God’s hands. By doing this I allow space for alignment, I allowed myself to trust, and stay true. You always know in your heart when you are going against yourself, when you are wanting more than someone can give you, when you are holding on when it’s time to let go. And by being brave, and remaining graceful you can appreciate what was, and welcome more truth.

I invested in my health on a new level. Infra-red sauna and ice bath spa weekly. Removed carbs from my diet. Green juices daily. High protein. Blood works every 12 months. Health checkups. Supplements. Homemade goats milk kefir. Low-tox living. Gym membership. Bi monthly acupuncture. Chiropractor adjustments. Dry body brushing. Weekly bone-broth. Only buying clothing made from natural fibres (linen, cotton, wool). No polyester. Downloaded Yuka app to ensure I am checking the harm rating of products I buy. This transformation has resulted in  a deeper self love and care. I have no desire for alcohol, for anything toxic in my body. This journey started with a health scare last summer and resulted in a complete holistic lifestyle change. It didn’t happen overnight. It’s been a process, and there is still a way to go. But my key takeaway is to continue to educate myself and learn about living better, because every change I have made has enhanced my life on a new level. 

As I wrap up this year, I am reminded that I am responsible for creating the life of my dreams. It’s the efforts I make, the choices - daily. The books I read, the conversations I have, the risks I take. The vison board I stay close to. Listening to God, prayers, actions. The actions are KEY. Next year I plan to go braver and bolder. No dream is too big. 2025 I am coming for you!

Any chance you could make a part two of Venom!Reader x Price, or a similar idea with Soap/Ghost? I think it's such a cool prompt

VENOM AU W/ SOAP AND GHOST

- Ghost x M!symbiote!reader & Soap x M!symbiote!reader

- Proofread:

- Genre: ???

- Synopsis: Drabbles on what it’d be like if Soap and Ghost had you as their symbiote, or more specifically their first impressions.

A/N: If anyone is wanting either drabbles for other characters, or full stories like Price’s, do request!

⚠️ Simon’s part is a bit graphic and more aggressive in nature⚠️

════════════════

SIMON ‘GHOST’ RILEY

Simon had found you while on a lone mission. The task at hand was simple. Walk in, grab the valuables (this case being the illegal scientific subjects), and get out.

Of course, the Brit wasn’t as lucky as the one tank for grabs was broken, the symbiote no where in sight.

The sight was a panic alone, but what further presented as eerie was the obscene sounds of wet flesh from above.

As Simon raised his gaze, he was shocked to find a black inky blob drop down onto his face. Pained noises escaping the man as the unlabelled thing forced its way into his maw before disappearing into his body.

Panting and shaking, Simon calls in the incident, called back for evac and an immediate check up with the base’s doctors.

The checkup had gone awful. He was sweating, hungry, and aggressive. Feral, that’s how the doctors described him.

They sent him in for an MRI, which had only caused more harm. In a strange fit of rage, Simon had even destroyed the machine. God knows how he had the strength to do such harm..

The strange behaviours only continued though. From general hunger to thoughts of cannibalism.. he’d express his concerns to Price again, earning himself a necessary time in solitary.

Pounding at the walls, screaming things he’d swear was out of his control. He felt insane and drained.

Lying back against a cold stone wall, that’s when Simon met the parasite. He had thought it was trick of the eye, but no.

A slick and slimy tendril traced out from beneath his sleeve, snaking down onto the floor as grasping hold of a small mouse that had been idly picking through rubble.

Simon watched out in horror as the creature strangled the small creature. Inside he thought back to the men he had killed in similar ways, but something about the way this small mouse was slowly being killed.. it scared him.

The tendril slowly retrieved the dead mouse, dragging it up to the head it had poked out from Simon’s shoulder.

The crunch alone scared traumatized the Brit, shooting up in a panic as he banged on the door desperately. Shouting out about the alien.. something passers would ignore on claims of him being insane.

“You are scared?” A low, raspy, and grotesque voice calls out from behind Simon, another small tendril slipping up his neck, beneath his mask. “They will not help you like I can. You want love, I can be that.”

The tendril is cold to the touch, dragging goosebumps along the man’s skin. A stuttered exhale leaving Simon’s scarred lips. He can’t help the way the touches relax him, an unexplainable phenomenon.

“You like this?” The creature purrs, almost tauntingly. “You humans are such needy beings.”

To you, Simon was a needy man. He practically lived off your touch and praise. Completely and solely dependent on you.

It was such a contrast to his past shell of being. The old Ghost, the one that would berate him for being so clingy to this alien.. but to him, it didn’t matter. All that mattered was you.

He fed you his victims, devoted his life to you. Saw upon you as a god rather than a parasite. A blessing even.

No one knew if it was a good or bad change for the bloke, but one thing was certain. Don’t bother trying to remove you from his body. If you were to be removed, either you’d let the man die, or he’d let himself die. Both of you needed each other, and no one could take that from you.

JOHN ‘SOAP’ MACTAVISH

John had found you after running loose within a crash site. He had happened to pass by the crash of your ship, to which you had taken it upon yourself to use him as a host, without his knowledge of course.

He hadn’t noticed until days had passed. He was constantly craving weird things.. chocolate at first but then live animals. Next was the ungodly fevers he faced. Constantly sweating, and not your average amount either. Drenched head to toe in the stench. It was so bad to the point he was forced on medical leave, forced into bed rest while studied by the many doctors on base.

All was fine until they had him in a MRI. He freaked, or more so, whatever possessed him did. It was painful and traumatic. Seeing the sickly black mess slide across the floor. The doors were immediately locked, trapping him inside with it. Better him than the whole base, huh?

It’s what caused the alien creature to reattach to his body, to the life source it needed. It was what provoked the first verbal contact with said being.

“They want to hurt us.” It echoed throughout the Scot’s thoughts. Causing the man to stammer and desperately disagree.

“M-me? No, no, no! They’re after you!” He argued in turn, accent heavy in the moments of his panic. “Steamin’ jesus- get out of my body! Out of my head!”

To anyone else, the man looked absolutely insane. Fisting into his Mohawk, screaming on into an empty room. He remained like that, all until the other being spoke again. An grotesque tendril slipping out from his wrist, wrapping around one of his fingers.

“They don’t understand you like I do, John.”

The knowledge of his name alone had Johnny choking up. He was scared beyond belief. This had to be some cruel joke, maybe even the side effects of a bad concussion? But no. This was real. The thing was real. And he was stuck with it.

You thought of Johnny as the perfect specimen. Destructive and dependent of social praise. But those things didn’t matter anymore, he had you!

You kept him alive and well, refusing to detach from the Scot without harm caused. You truly were a parasite to him.

It had taken him awhile, but he had eventually learned to accept and care for you. Truly the perfect specimen.

[karlachismylife]

So I realized something. My forgetful ass forgot that I did in fact claim an emoji cause my brain just does that So just to let you know chronic pain anon here and I'm the hyacinth anon. Genuinely forgot, my bad. BUT WAIT I have a valid excuse though, my dog had puppies and they're VERY cute and take up ALL my headspace rn ily tho ty for being so cool lol

No worries love, I already added it to all your asks so you can find them easier just in case! hehehe glad to have you pretty <3

And also that's THE MOST VALID excuse, I wouldn't be able to think about anything even if you gave me one puppy. MANY PUPPIES? Brain.exe stopped working. Is it okay to ask for a picture? Totally only if you're fine with it!!

You're cool! And that's why you get task force 141 and puppies headcanons.

Price is the classic "dad said he didn't want a dog". He's already got three muppets and you to look after, he doesn't need puppies in his responsibilities too. So it's only becaue he doesn't want to have any complications that he gets them all the best care items, toys, food - also takes them (by himself, because he can only trust himself not to fuck this up) to the best vet to get all their shots and checkups. You could expect him to be strict and comply with nature's laws if there's one weaker puppy in the batch, but no, he's actually making everything he can to ensure this little fella gets enough food and doesn't get bullied by its siblings. And if you see Price snoring with the puppies climbing all over him or napping on his chest? You actually didn't see anything.

He also gets matching hats for all of them.

Ghost can't even pretend he doesn't wanna cry just from looking at these little buggers. They're just so small with their tiny tails and paws sliding from under their chubby bodies, and they are so fragile and precious, and he can fit two or maybe even three in his huge palm, warm, soft bodies that trust this scary man with their tiny puppy lives... yeah, no, he's actually red-eyed and sniffling, and he can't even pin it on allergy, because then, first of all, puppies will get taken away from him, and second, he's kinda sobbing and crying very obviously. They just unlock something in him, and all his outer shell cracks. He wants to hold them a lot, but he's also so very scared of harming them, he'll need your supervision just so that he doesn't fuck his own brain with ovethinking. Talks to the puppers quietly, with that brute care, and if you tell him not to teach puppies bad words, he'll actually try to avoid cussing around them.

Once they're old enough, he's picking some skull/skeleton themed collars and accessories for them.

Gaz did his research (as per usual), so he's actually extremely efficient and good when caring for puppies. No emergency is too scary for him, he's collected and confident, and they couldn't ask to be in better hands. If they need bottle feeding, he's sitting there with a very serious face on duty, but when he thinks no one's looking, he's actually making silly faces at them (yes, like with actual babies) and absolutely smitten by them. He's set on training them and teaching them tricks, but mostly just giving them enough to excersise their bodies and brains, so he'll give a lot of attention to each one of them to see what suits them the most.

He's also taking great care of the mama dog too. A true gentleman, he is!

Soap is fucking extatic as if he just got kids. He boasts about them at any given moment, has pictures on his phone, on his lockscreen, in his wallet, one tucked into his tactical vest (to remember what he's fighting for). He'll carry them around in those baby carriers, take them everywhere to "show them the world", including top shelves, fridge insides and neighbour's lawn. He's also forgetting everything except them, his ADHD ass locks in on the cuties so he can actually miss meals and shit (Soap! Missing meals! Unheard of.) because he's just stuck there, watching them wobble around and play. Absolutelty is their favourite playground, just lays down on the floor and lets them climb around.

Constantly has treats on him, but sometimes mixes them up with his own snacks and nibbles on those himself. He's grown quite fond of the chewy sticks though, maybe he should just buy a packet for him only...

[dabis-azure-songbird]

May I please request headcanons for InuYasha, Sango, and Miroku having a modern-day S/O who suffers from sickle cell disease?

Hello, my darling! This took me a while. I'm so very sorry. So! This was at the tippy top of my list! Of course, you can request this. I tried to research this to the best of my ability, so I hope I did these headcanons justice. I know there are multiple forms, so I'm going to try to write ones that could apply to any of the types. ♥ All my love! XoXo

Pairings: InuYasha x Reader, Sango x Reader, Miroku x Reader who suffers from sickle cell disease

Warnings: None, just some extra love for SCD readers, etc.

Inuyasha

To be honest, I feel he wouldn't understand at all what that means at first.

But he's willing to learn and listen to you. (Still doesn't understand it all...especially doctor jargon)

And you think he isn't listening to you at some point, and then he surprises you by remembering and saying something that you had told him.

His personality is quite brash, so I feel like he's one that seems very strong on the forefront, but secretly studies as much as he can to help you and make you more comfortable.

I definitely think he tries to keep you comfortable. Puts a blanket over you and pats it or rubs your arms and hands if you're cold, or takes it off. Secretly pays very close attention to your cues and body language. Makes sure you have lots of water and adequate rest.

And I feel like he'd go to every appointment with you, arms crossed and face a bit unreadable beneath his baseball cap.

You might catch him crying secretly at night sometimes, but it's only because he loves and cares about you so much, darling. (Bh-huh!? Inuyasha!? Nahhhh >.> You didn't hear that from me!)

And if you need more severe treatments such as blood transfusions, bone marrow, etc, I feel he definitely has them check if he's a match for you first.

He's so loyal. If you're hospitalized or just going to doctors a lot, no matter what it is, he's always by your side.

And be sure to let him know if you're tired or anything! I'm sure he will give you as many piggybacks and let you rest as much as you need while he also keeps careful watch and rests with you.

Overall, he's the best S/O and caretaker he can be to you. I think he might only argue with you if you argued with him over the prices of treatments. Because it's your life and that doesn't matter if you feel better. He'll find a way.

Sango

She's such a sweetie. Even if you identify as a male or whatever you prefer, I feel she always brings you flowers and tries to make you smile in some way.

Works hard to also make sure you are comfortable and your needs are always taken care of.

Research to the end of the world to try to understand you and your condition better.

Like Inuyasha, she is always by your side, especially at appointments and checkups.

If you have to undergo any surgeries or transfusions, she makes sure she's the first person you see besides the doctors.

Is good about reminding you and keeping you on track with your schedule and appointments, medicines, but also dates! Also definitely tries to help you with preventatives to keep you healthy.

I feel her favorite thing is to go out with you to cafes on days you feel well enough to.

Tries to help doctors find you a match for transfusions or marrow if you need it.

She wants to be with you every step of the way. No matter how difficult or easy your path may be.

Sensitive but strong herself, I feel like the two of you can have heart-to-heart talks and rest in each other's arms when it's too stressful. She'll either listen or cry with you.

Just know she's always there and is always fighting beside you.

Miroku

This guy, ahahaha. But no. I feel he adds a bit to your stress since he's a womanizer sometimes...but just know, he's all yours and his heart will always be yours. He looks, but definitely WON'T touch.

I feel he's always trying to make you smile and laugh.

Definitely uses those flirty antics of his to try.

May convince you to have his child...ONLY IF YOU WANT TO.

If this happens, and it possibly causes your pain or anything to be more severe, I really think he feels guilty though.

Definitely seeks care for you and the baby always.

And if you decide not to, that's fine too!

He may seem a bit aloof sometimes, but he really is very serious about you.

I think his aloofness is caused by him being deep in thought about how he can better help and care for you quite honestly. Or if he can try to understand you better.

I feel he's the one to ask the doctors questions and try to help you figure things out better too.

He may miss one or two appointments every now and then, but he'll show up late...with some flowers and maybe your favorite snack in hand or stuffed animal too! (He took too long picking them out honestly.)

His favorite thing would be to cuddle with you at night and hold you. Especially if you're feeling cold or just not all that well.

the arms of the ocean

Immediately after returning to the Alpha Quadrant things don't seem to change much. But when the rest of her crew starts to move on with their lives after Voyager, the Captain struggles with who she is without her role as captain of a lost Starship. She can't save herself from herself alone. Link to full fic

Everything was fine at first. 

Almost from the second she had stepped foot back on Earth she had been pulled in a hundred different directions. People needing her attention. Debriefings. Medical checkups, Reunions. It all kept her in a constant state of stimulation.

It was exactly how she preferred things. She thrived on it.

Debriefing. Coffee. Check on member of the Voyager crew. Coffee. Defend her Maqui crew members before Starfleet. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee……

She found herself in routines she relied on from the most harrowing of times in the Delta quadrant. Her body had learned to function on little to no sleep and when sleep did come it was in short intervals before the next crisis demanded her attention.

She was the captain and the price of being a captain alone in the Delta quadrant was…

Loneliness. 

Which some may look on as some kind of tragic fate but it was something that was almost a comfort at times. It made it easy to play her part. She was what every member of her crew needed her to be at any given moment. She gave and gave and gave until she wasn’t even sure who she was underneath the shell that was Captain Janeway.

But it made everything easier.

Her facade slipped sometimes. No matter how revered her crew may keep her she was still human after all. 

It had been hardest in the void.

No crisis. No puzzles to solve. No mysteries to distract her.

And no stars.

The stars were a constant she could always count on, no matter what part of the universe she found herself in. She knew the constellations of the Alpha Quadrant best and could always rely on them to help calm her racing thoughts when they threatened to consume her.

But when the stars disappeared, the darkness of space seemed to lay bare her very soul.

The stars were not gone now and yet she felt worse than she had in the void.

It started after she had lunch with Tom and B'ELanna and the newly thriving baby Miral.

“And you wouldn’t believe it! My father, who never showed me a shred of his nurturing side treats Miral as if she’s his queen and his role is devoted servant. I’m telling you Captain, if you could see him-”

He winced, looking at her with a lopsided grin.

“Tom, I’ve told you. You don’t have to call me-”

“Captain anymore. I know, I know. It’s a hard habit to kick, And honestly, Captain just suits you. Though, I imagine that title is going to be bumped up to admiral soon if the rumors are true.”

His face fell for only a moment when he didn’t seem to get the reaction from her he was hoping for. She had heard the rumors too, expecting to find the idea exciting but instead feeling…. nothing. B’Elanna gave him a look before there was some kind of commotion under the table and Tom let out a muffled grunt of pain that suggested he had been on the receiving end of a well placed kick to the shins.

This made Kathryn smile and the conversation continued until it was time for the family of three to move on with their day.

“Don’t be a stranger. I mean it.”

B’Elanna gave her a stern look as they hugged goodbye, Tom moving in with Miral tucked close to him to kiss her cheek.

“Yeah! Miral changes so quickly, she needs her Auntie… uh… Auntie Captain in her life!”

“She is NOT calling me Aunt Captain, Tom.”

B’Elanna punched him in the arm not cradling their daughter but he just laughed.

“We’ll figure it out! We’ve got all the time in the world now we’re not under constant alien attack.”

As Kathryn said her last goodbyes she started walking around the city. She had no quarters of her own anymore, having been presumed dead for several years and Starfleet demanded so much of her time she had been given a temporary living arrangement in San Francisco until she found a place of her own.

She had nothing else planned for the day. In fact, the whole week was free. It had been over a month of constant meetings, but now the dust seemed to finally be settling. 

So she ran a bubble bath. Ate a real ice cream sundae with coffee ice cream and an espresso toffee sauce that was to die for. She picked a book from the box of her own belongings Mark had brought for her and read the whole thing. She read through reports on everything that had been happening while her and her crew were fighting to survive in the Delta quadrant. She had the computer give her the exact location of each member of her crew. All safe. All accounted for. All home with their loved ones. And then she climbed into her bed and closed her eyes.

But sleep did not come.

She thought of Tom and B’Elanna and how happy they were. Safe on Earth with no job but to be parents to their perfect daughter. How she had seen tears in Admiral Paris’s eyes as he hugged his son and held his newborn granddaughter. She had never seen the man cry. Not even when they had been in that Cardassian prison together. It had healed something in Tom too. To have that strained relationship well on its way to being fully mended.

She thought of all the reunions she had the privilege of witnessing. Tuvok and his family, stoic and unemotional to an untrained eye. But she could see the way her oldest friend’s body seemed to relax as he reunited with his beloved wife and children and grandchildren. Tuvok had a grandchild! 

When they had first docked and prepared to meet with their loved ones she had stayed back, needing one more moment alone. Just a captain and her loyal Voyager. She waited in her ready room as the others had disembarked from the ship, allowing herself time to process the moment. To accept she had actually done it. They were actually home.

Finally, she left the ready room and made to take one more walk across her bridge when she found she was not as alone as she had thought she was.

“Naomi Wildman, what are you doing here?”

The young girl was sitting in the captain’s chair, her arms wrapped tightly around her knees as she looked to her captain with tears in her eyes.

“I don’t want to leave Voyager. I don’t want to stay on Earth.”

Kathryn smiled and walked to her chair, kneeling down so she was eye level with the girl.

“Can I tell you a secret?”

She nodded quickly.

“I don’t want to leave Voyager either.”

“You don’t?”

She shook her head.

“That’s why I was waiting until everyone else had gone. I wanted a chance to say goodbye to Voyager. And to thank her for getting us home.”

“But Voyager is our home, Captain! We can still stay here and just go on away missions to Earth! Can’t we?”

Kathryn smiled again. It wasn’t the first time she had thought about the life Naomi lived. How Voyager and constant space travel was all the girl had ever known. With the number of times she had put the young girl’s life in danger. No. No. She coudn’t let those thoughts in right now. They were home. They were safe.

“Captain? Are you okay?”

Kathryn blinked a couple times, regaining her composure. 

“You know, That is still my chair, crewman Wildman.”

She raised an eyebrow.

“I was keeping it warm for you!”

Kathryn laughed. A true genuine laugh.

“Naomi Wildman I am going to miss you.”

She put an affectionate hand on the girl’s knee and felt a sudden pang of sorrow. It didn’t last long as the young girl suddenly flung herself from the chair and threw her arms around her captain’s neck. Kathryn pulled the girl closer to her and held onto her tightly.

“Ensign Wildman to Captain Janeway.”

Not breaking from their embrace, Kathryn acknowledged the hail.

“Janeway here.”

“Captain, I’m sorry to bother you but are you still on the ship?”

“In fact, I am Ensign. And I think you may have misplaced something on the bridge.”

Naomi pulled away first, her eyes suddenly very wide.

“I’m so sorry Captain. I’ll be right there.”

“No need, Ensign. We’re coming to you.”

Kathryn stood up, straightening her collar and brushing a hand through her hair. She looked down to Naomi and held a hand out to her.

“Let’s say goodbye together.”

And so they did.

They caught up with Sam Wildman and Kathryn once again knelt in front of Naomi, taking her hands in hers.

“I know it seems scary to leave the ship we’ve called home your entire life but I promise you are going to love Earth. And one day you might even return to the stars as a captain of a ship of your own. But you’ll never get there if you don’t take this first brave step into a whole new world. Can you be brave for me?”

Naomi stood a little straighter and nodded.

“Good. Now I’ve got one more direct order, for both of you.”

She looked up to Sam and saw tears in her eyes.

“Live well.”

She stood, embracing Sam before escorting the pair to the landing bay. She stopped, the sounds of the gathering crowd growing louder. Then there was a small hand holding hers and she looked down to see Naomi smiling up at her, pulling her forward to follow behind her mother.

“What are you going to do without me as your assistant, Captain?”

Kathryn laughed and let herself be lead to the sea of people joyfully reuniting with their loved ones.

“I suppose I’ll have to figure that out for myself. But I promise I’ll let you know if I need your expertise.”

She gave Naomi a final wink before Sam pulled her daughter quickly toward someone she had obviously spotted in the mob.

She wandered through the crowd, She smiled as Sam and Naomi were swept up in the embrace of a Ktarian man she knew was Naomi’s father. Some crew members huddled together, laughing with each other as they waited for their own loved ones to arrive.

She lingered for a moment watching Seven and Chakotay talking with a mixed group of people, smiling and laughing and embracing. She felt a pang of something she wouldn’t allow herself to recognize and turned away, nearly running into a small woman who stood directly behind her.

She barely had a moment to look at the woman before she had pulled her into a very forceful hug.

“Captain Janeway! You did it! You saved my Harry. You brought him home! Thank you! Thank you!”

Kathryn smiled, quickly realizing who the woman currently sobbing into her shoulder belonged to.

“Mom! Mom, get off the Captain. I’m so sorry, Captain.”

Kathryn held up a hand to Harry with a quick wink.

“It’s quite alright Ensign. It’s wonderful to finally meet you, Mrs. Kim.”

Harry’s mom released the captain and went back to her son, wrapping an arm around his waist as if she was never letting him out of her reach again. 

“Thank you, Captain. Thank you for keeping him safe.”

She bowed her head and Kathryn returned the gesture.

“You should be very proud of your son. I know I certainly am. He is not only a fine example of the kind of Ensign any captain would be lucky to have but also the model of what it means to be a great man.”

Harry looked down in attempt to cover the obvious emotion on his face while his mother went in for another hug from the captain.

Harry. Tuvok. Naomi. Tom. Seven. Chakotay.

All the members of her crew. All the people who looked to her everyday, who needed her everyday. All of these people who were solely her responsibility to look after. To nurture. To guide. To mentor. And now they were all gone. Off living their lives without her. Because they didn’t need her anymore.

Nobody needed her.

Who was she if she wasn’t needed by someone?

She was the hero captain of the lost starship Voyager. 

Who was she after that?

Nothing.

The voice in her head clawed its way forward.

She was nothing.

She felt a tightness in her chest, trying to ignore it. Probably just the ice cream.

But what if it wasn’t? What if something was wrong?

She felt the tightness creep down to her stomach and her heart seemed to be beating in an erratic pattern all of a sudden. She was so tired but what if she fell asleep and something was actually wrong with her. She had been warned by the Starfleet doctors that being reintroduced to Earth foods could result in new allergies or intolerances. What if this was an allergic reaction? Did she care?

She ordered the computer to turn her lights back on and got out of bed. She grabbed a glass of cold water and grabbed another one of her books. As she read, she felt the tightness lessen and her brain seemed to stand down its red alert.

She thought about trying to go back to bed but a glimpse out the window showed the sky was beginning to lighten, marking the start of the new day. And so she pushed herself through the motions of her day.

She had 3 nights without sleep.

Every time she turned off the lights and closed her eyes, the voice in her head started talking.

All of her mistakes as captain. 

All the choices she had made. Choices that weren’t fair but it was her job as the captain to make no matter how big of a piece it took of her. 

The tightness would creep back in and she would try desperately to make it all stop.

Reading worked at first but then parts of her books reminded her of one of her past sins and the voice would make sure she couldn’t move on from overanalyzing each one from every possible angle.

It was better during the day. 

Until it wasn’t.

At first she would take calls from her crew and keep up with their lives. But as they continued to move on she found it too painful to keep up with. It was better to isolate herself from it. If she kept them at the edges of her life, she could find a way to cope and move on. 

She dealt with it. Some nights getting a couple hours of sleep. Those wonderful moments in the morning before she was fully awake were the best. Those moments before everything came crashing back into her.

Her meetings weren’t about her much anymore, they just required her presence. It seemed evern Starfleet didn’t know what to do with her.

It was weeks of riding that constant edge when she finally couldn’t take it anymore.

She was so tired but her thoughts kept her from sleep. The tears came and she couldn’t stop them. She paced for what felt like hours. She wrapped her pillow close to her chest, craving the comfort of someone holding her tight. Not wanting to be alone. She needed to not be alone.

But she couldn’t burden her former crew with her issues. She could handle them on her own. She was strong, she had faced worst things than this. She just had to stop being so ridiculous.

You’re weak. Your life is nothing without Voyager. You’re nothing.

The voice in her head was cruel and unrelenting.

She couldn't keep going like this. She needed someone. She just wanted someone to tell her what was wrong. What she needed to do to fix it.

And then she knew what she needed.

Kathryn Janeway needed her mom.

2069

"Is this all there is to this life? Should be recognizin' myself in the mirror better each day, but instead I feel more and more like I'm lookin' at a stranger..."

Vince ran away from home in 2067, aided by Jackie Welles whom he'd met the same year through a fateful coincidence. Jackie and his connections helped him gain independence from his family, and opened doors into a world Vince had so far only seen from far above and far away.

From one environment of buzzing neon lights into the next, although a much less polished one, he ended up in Kabuki. There he stayed for the next two years to come. Drifting from one dissatisfying odd job to the next he tried to build a new life from scratch. In some ways it was a very freeing experience. On file, his birthday was a different one now, aging him up just enough to get his mother off his back. He started HRT, got tattoos he'd always dreamed of, dressed more how he liked without fearing repercussions. He even felt comfortable growing his hair out, dyeing it darker... And soon he began to only introduce himself as "V" to new acquaintances, a nickname and advice given to him by Jackie when they first met.

In other ways though he felt just as out of place in Kabuki as he did in Charter Hill, if not more.

He knew little about life on the streets, was overqualified for what his employers asked of him, and unhappy, underwhelmed with his living situation as a whole. He'd never had to survive on a budget, struggled to make ends meet, or worried about food and rent before. Even Jackie had no solution to these problems - and merc work would never be Vince's style, even if it meant easy money. "Easy" always comes at a price later on...

Eventually, he ended up helping out at a niche tech store with ties to the Tyger Claws. It became the longest job he managed to hold before his pride got the better of him. After many heated arguments with the owner he decided to quit on the spot without much of a Plan B left. He had always done his best to stay away from trouble, gangs in particular, especially after a very unpleasant encounter with the Valentinos two years prior.

Despite his careful attempts to conceal his tracks though, keeping a low profile, and trying to make this new life work out for him somehow, his past began to catch up with him as the Unification War started to threaten Night City itself...

Vince through the years (2/9)

Welcome to more behind the scenes rambles! XD Today: Vince's cyberware and tattoos, of which many were part of him as of 2069 already.

Not too much intense editing required for this set, the lighting in that street is really nice as is with all the neon and stuff! Just off of Kabuki roundabout, where the tech store Vince worked at for the better part of a year was situated.

I did have some fun playing around with some filters for the glitch effect - it's not quite where I want it yet, but I was going for the kind of look V has on surveillance cameras in game, with his identity obscured and such!

During his time in Kabuki he didn't quite have the means that would have allowed for something similar. But still, he was keeping a low profile and taking a lot of not-quite-legal measures to obscure his whereabouts and identity as best as he could to get away from his mother.

Also, this is full headcanon territory and I'm not sure how compatible it is with Cyberpunk lore (I tried to find something online, stumbled upon an extensive cyberware listing from the 2020 rulebook and such)... but my personal headcanon for his piece of neck cyberware is that it's fashionware on the outside, but under the surface it's doing some hormone synthesizing and regulation for his transition. Y'know, a convenient alternative for the array of options we have in our time and age with creams and gels or injections. A one time solution installed in your body that from day one will just do its thing for the rest of your life, basically (with some checkups and upgrades throughout the years obviously).

Also, Viktor got it for him, installed and all, and while they were at it Vince was like "Vik, do you do tattoos, too? I have an idea for something..." and that's basically how he got his demonic grin neck tattoo on the same day xD

Also around that time he would have gotten the wings on his back done:

Very symbolic and a little cliché, but he doesn't give a damn (and he doesn't know it at the time yet, but Kerry will love it xD). The whole "setting himself free" that year in all meanings of the word was very important to him. And by 2069 he'd completed the look with his chin and face tattoos.

The trans-colours cyber-flower on his right shoulder was the first "proper" tattoo he'd ever gotten, shortly before running away from home even. The little, slightly crooked Ursa Major just below it was a stick-and-poke a "friend" did on him even before that, but he never had the heart to get it covered. It's awkwardly positioned and a bit wonky, but he still likes it as a symbol and reminder of his childhood. He had the dots filled in with rainbow colors a little ways down the the line though.

His left shoulder and the chest piece connecting both right and left followed a few years later! We'll get to that :3

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Pathology Lab

INTRODUCTION

So, you’ve finally decided to take charge of your health? Good for you! But now comes the tricky part—choosing the right pathology lab. With so many options out there, how do you pick the one that won’t mix up your blood sample with someone else's? (Kidding… hopefully.) Whether you’re getting a Full Body Health Checkup in Bhilai or just a routine test, making the right choice is essential. Lucky for you, we’ve got a foolproof checklist to help you navigate this medical maze without breaking a sweat!

Why You Should Care About Your Pathology Lab Choice

You wouldn’t eat at a shady restaurant with bad reviews, so why trust your health with just any lab? A wrong diagnosis can send you on a rollercoaster ride of unnecessary treatments, and let’s face it, we already have enough drama in our lives. Whether it's a routine test or a full workup, choosing a lab with the right credentials matters!

The No-Nonsense Checklist for Finding the Right Lab

1. Is the Lab Actually Certified or Just Really Good at Marketing?

Look for accreditation from NABL or other official bodies. Fancy branding is great, but proper certification ensures the lab isn’t just a well-decorated scam.

2. What’s on the Menu? (Test Menu, That Is!)

A solid pathology lab should offer everything from basic blood tests to hormonal analysis and cancer screenings. If they can’t test it, you probably don’t need it. (Just kidding, you probably do.)

3. Do They Have Tech from This Century?

If their equipment looks like it belongs in a museum, run. Advanced technology means faster and more accurate results—because no one has time to wait a week for a cholesterol test!

4. Are the Staff Experts or Just People Who Watch Medical Dramas?

A lab’s credibility depends on its pathologists and technicians. If they’re certified experts, you’re in safe hands. If not… well, hope you enjoy surprises in your reports.

5. Can You Get Your Reports Without Running a Marathon?

Digital reports are a blessing. Labs that offer online access save you from unnecessary trips, because honestly, who has time for that?

How to Spot a Good Diagnostic Lab (Without Turning into Sherlock Holmes)

1. Does It Feel Like a Lab or a Horror Movie Set?

Cleanliness matters. A well-maintained lab with proper sample handling means you won’t catch something extra while getting tested.

2. Is It Convenient or an Unexpected Road Trip?

A lab close to home (or work) makes life easier. If they also offer home sample collection, even better—nothing like getting tested in your pajamas!

3. Do They Have Good Health Packages or Just Fancy Price Tags?

Check if they offer budget-friendly full-body checkups. Many labs now provide affordable Full Body Health Checkup in Bhilai packages, so you can stay on top of your health without emptying your wallet.

4. What’s the Word on the Street? (Or the Internet)

Reviews don’t lie. If people rave about their efficiency and service, you’re probably in safe hands. If the reviews scream ‘avoid at all costs,’ take the hint!

5. Are They Good at Specialty Tests or Just Basic Stuff?

Not all labs handle specialized tests well. If you need something like hormonal analysis or infectious disease screening, go for a Diagnostic Lab in Bhilai that’s known for those services.

Final Thoughts (Before You Go Book That Test)

Picking the right pathology lab doesn’t have to be rocket science. A little research goes a long way in ensuring you get accurate results without unnecessary stress. If you’re due for a Full Body Health Checkup in Bhilai or just need a quick test, use this guide to avoid any lab-related nightmares. Stay healthy, stay informed, and may your test results always be in your favor!
