Consoling Lucifer on Charlie’s first day of school
・❥ Charlie’s growing up, and Lucifer isn’t taking it well. Luckily, you’re there to keep the King of Hell standing on two feet.
x: just a short fic about a super soft lucifer who loves his daughter, i had some fun with this haha. reader is g/n and also has a parental role. no use of y/n.
~ 1.5k words
warning: tooth-rotting parental love
“Are you crying, Daddy?” The tiny apple-cheeked figure asked, her head tilted curiously up towards the almost identical-looking porcelain face standing a few feet away from her, his hand over his eyes as he rubbed at them feverishly.
“No,” He lied, his lips curved into a tight-lipped smile as he bit back tears, “It’s just allergies, Apple Pie.”
Lucifer’s eyes trailed back onto the poofy red dress Charlie wore. The intricate, black lines and little hearts woven into its soft fabric made her even more adorable in the outfit. She also sported snow-white stockings, and a pair of sparkly red shoes that glinted in the light as Charlie smiled giddily, excited about the new adventure.
A small red bowtie was nestled into her hair, which was styled in a large braid that ended at the middle of her back. It swayed softly as the young girl bounced in place, becoming antsy by the second.
You stood right beside him, smiling happily at Charlie as she looked up at the two of you. It was you who had gotten her ready, no doubt did you think she looked like a beautiful little princess. However, you were not expecting such an emotional reaction from your husband, Lucifer Morningstar, when you presented her outfit to him.
It was Charlie’s first day of lessons, which means—in Lucifer’s opinion—she was finally leaving the nest. Except for the fact she was still considered just a youngling when it came to being Hellborn, and Charlie still needed her father to read her a story every night before bed. She still has trouble reaching items on the counter, and remembering all the letters of the alphabet. She was far from flying off on her own, she was still her father’s little duckling.
He was already nervous the days leading up to this morning, and you had watched him flip through baby book after baby book. Each contains hundreds of photos depicting from when Charlie was a newborn, and through last Sunday.
Whenever Charlie so much and breathed cutely, Lucifer was pulling out that camera and saving it for the album. Especially when he got a hold of a yellow duck onesie? The man was a goner, and the bookshelf was beginning to fill with rows of binders filled with polaroids.
Yesterday, you had been in the process of cleaning out a closet of rarely used items, when you stumbled upon a pair of Charlie’s old baby boots.
Lucifer had just walked into the room when his eyes landed on the tiny boots. They obviously wouldn’t fit the girl now, as she had grown out of them long ago. It definitely stirred something inside the fallen angel when his lip began to quiver from the doorway, and slowly walked over to you sitting on the edge of the bed.
He took the boots from your hands, his thumb brushing softly over the small velcro straps. Charlie was old enough to start wearing laces, and she needed his help getting tying her shoes less and less as the months went by. That thought made him collapse onto you, tears brimming his eyes.
“She had such adorable little feet!” Lucifer wailed in your lap, as you soothingly petted his hair. There were multiple photos in his hands, all of baby Charlie, “Her toes just don’t look like little sausages anymore, it’s not as cute!”
“At least she’s not a hobbit,” you replied, brushing a stray tear from his face.
“I don’t even know what that means!” He had sobbed.
It wasn’t like she was going off to college or anything, yet the way Lucifer clutched her baby blanket in his free hand—which she only stopped sleeping with 2 days ago—made it seem like the girl was not coming back from a few hours of teachings.
“I packed you some snacks. Apple slices, and some funnel cake. Eat the fruit first, it’s healthy for you. Want to grow up big and strong, don’t you?”
“Uh-huh!” Charlie nodded with enthusiasm, smiling brightly.
“That’s my girl,” Lucifer choked back tears, nodding approvingly.
“Honey, she’s going to be late, hurry up and say goodbye,” you prodded gently, smiling warmly with clasped hands. You had been silently on standby, this was a much more emotional moment for Lucifer than you, he needed the space and time with his munchkin.
“You’re right, you’re right,” he growled softly at himself, “look at me, all worked up over nothing. What a joke of a King.”
Lucifer lowered himself to one knee and reached out a hand, and Charlie walked forward returning the touch. Her tiny hands were engulfed in his palm as he curled his fingers tenderly around them. The fallen angel met his daughter's gaze, before taking a deep breath.
“I love you, Charlie.”
“I love you too, Daddy,” Charlie laughed, before leaping forward and wrapping her arms around his neck. Lucifer pulled her in, nuzzling into her hair as she squeezed him tightly.
Even if Charlie grew apart from her father as she got older, you’d know she’d always be a daddy’s girl. It was Lucifer whom she invited for tea time among her stuffed animals, and it was he she asked to dance with when the radio’s soft melodies filled the lounge during the evenings as the three of you relaxed by the warm fireplace.
It made your heart flutter with how similar the two were, and the way Lucifer fawned over Charlie like he’d never seen a more beautiful soul.
“My best creation,” he had whispered with a smile one night, while the two of you were sitting on the balcony, the alcohol buzzing inside your mind as you held his hand from across the small table. Those words had made your love for him continue to grow, if that were even possible in the first place.
Lucifer and Charlie stayed locked in an embrace for a few moments on the floor before the girl released him, and Lucifer’s arms slowly lowered from her abdomen as she took a few steps back towards the door.
“Go on, now! Don’t let me keep you waiting, just remember to crush it.” Lucifer waved his daughter off, and she jumped with joy.
“Okay! Bye, Daddy!” Charlie giggled, her little red dress bouncing along with her toes as she quickly turned away towards the open door of her room.
“Have fun, Charlie!” You called after her, as Lucifer slowly rose from his position near the floor.
“I will! Bye!” She replied, running down the hall, her little bag bouncing in her hands as she scampered away to…
…her private tutor’s small classroom at the end of the long hallway. The three of you had been wishing the girl farewell in her large bedroom inside the family manor, which meant Charlie’s teaching wasn't even outside of the home.
That made Lucifer’s reaction even more humorous, but it was also incredibly sweet. The ruler of Hell, a nasty, bitter place, was a cinnamon roll behind the bad-boy act that he played so well in front of the rest of the realm.
When Lucifer stood straight again, you turned your head to face him. The sight before you caused you to clamp your lips shut tight, trying to suppress your laughter at Lucifer’s disheveled figure.
His hair looked messier than before he had said goodbye, and his face was soaked with tears. Lucifer’s lip quivered, and he quickly averted his gaze, slamming his hand over his face to contain his quiet sobs. The man was practically in shambles.
“What’s wrong with me?” He groaned, rubbing a hand down his face, “I can’t control my emotions when it comes to Charlie.”
“Sorry to break it to you, Your Highness, but you’re in love,” you cooed, shaking your head with a smile as Lucifer sniffled beside you. He pulled a hand-embroidered handkerchief from his waistcoat, dabbing underneath his eyes to clean the fresh tears.
“Come on, Lou. How about I make you some pancakes for breakfast?” You said softly, lacing your fingers with his as you tugged him towards the opposite end of the hall.
“Really?” He sniffled, looking at you with glistening eyes.
“Mhmm,” your hands lifted to cup his face, tenderly squishing those small red spots as you replied with a honeyed tone, “Heaven knows how the ‘Big Boss of Hell’ can be such a softy. Don’t worry, Charlie will be back by lunchtime, and maybe we’ll go on a picnic, hm?”
Your free hand went up toward the fallen angel’s head, and your nails softly grazed his scalp as you pulled his hair back into a more uniform appearance. After fussing with it for a moment, you leaned in and placed a tender kiss on his forehead.
“A picnic sounds nice, I have no idea how you always have a remedy to everything,” He said softly as you pulled away, an adoring smile on his lips as you turned to tug him down the hall.
“Years of practice,” you laughed, as the two of you walked towards the large kitchen, passing loving glances between the other.
At least, with Charlie away for a few hours, you and your husband could get some alone time together. God knows the poor man needed it.
lucifer is just so soft for his little princess whether it’s beating the shit out of adam or playing tea party it makes me just 🤭🥴 like damn
hope you enjoyed the lil snack, have a great day! 🤍

Hatori Sohma x Ticklish Reader
Romantic + 01. “I promise I won’t tickle you.” + 18. “Wait… That tickled?” Requested by anon & @magicaltickles for my 1K Followers Event🌻
Stay calm. Act normal. Don't panic.
"May I take a look then?"
Fail. You were panicking. Ahh, but it was a natural response! You were barely dating yet. This should be inappropriate in every single context, except for one: he was a doctor.
"E-e-excuse me?" you squeaked. It was a polite coffee date at your place until you brought up the mysterious red marks on your skin that had been there for a few weeks now.
Since he was a doctor, you thought it'd be good to seek his advice, thinking he'd just explain some things. However...
"I apologize. If you don't want to, I understand. We can make a proper appointment later, if you prefer. Or you can call another doctor of course."
He was so kind. The beautiful, sweet, gentle and mysterious Hatori Sohma. It had been a while since you started seeing him. Of course you were intrigued from the first time you met him.
His past was somewhat a mystery. No one knew where he was working before he joined the clinic in your neighborhood. There were rumors he had been a family doctor for only one family (how lucky those people were?), and that he was a distant person who didn't really like socializing.
Despite his good looks, most people seemed uncomfortable around him for that reason too. He was too quiet, too mysterious. Not you. He seemed lonely, but also gentle and kind, and you had developed a serious crush on him.
Living close to the clinic, it didn't take long before you ran into him once or twice, then more often, and you got caught up in such pleasant conversations that you decided to schedule some coffee dates. They seemed friendly at first, like neighbors.
But lately, the glances... The swift and gentle touches... The depths of your conversations... Your heart was really giving in, and maybe, hopefully, he was starting to like you too?
"No! No, sorry. I was just surprised you would want to take a look. You're not working right now, after all," you said. Hatori shook his head.
"I don't mind. So, if you allow me..."
You swallowed nervously and lifted up your shirt, until right below your chest. It wasn't an intimate spot at all or anything weird, especially with a doctor like him. But it was still your bare skin, and right now it was more undeniable than ever that you were in love with this man.
Hatori sat closer to you, so close that you could take in his nice and charming scent...
"So, your side. And also your back, you said? Do you mind if I touch you?"
Such a polite doctor he was. You shook your head.
"Please, go ahead. It's my sides, yes, and just my lower back. It's fine if you want to touch it. Like I explained, I can hardly feel it. It doesn't hurt or itch, but it's been there for weeks and I just wonder what it might be. Maybe some kind of allergy?"
Hatori didn't respond but carefully brushed his thumb against the red spots on your lower side. You twitched and let out a little "Ohh!", not expecting it would tickle.
"Wait.. It doesn't hurt, you said?" he asked. Gulp. Of course he noticed you twitched. You suddenly panicked, not wanting to seem idiotic in front of him - twitching and making that weird noise after claiming it didn't hurt. In your panic, you started to ramble.
"Nonono it just tickled! S-sorry, I'm a little sensitive there! I swear it doesn't hurt at all. It's not even urgent so you don't need to bother, I'm just curious what it could be!"
"...." He was quiet for a moment while he scanned your bare skin with his eyes, as if he was slowly processing the information like the talented doctor he was. But then after the brief moment of silence, the words that came out of his mouth caught you off-guard.
“Wait… That tickled?”
Wah!! You blushed and nervously looked away from him. "I m-mean, yeah! But only a little! Your hand is cold, you surprised me! I swear I'm not super ticklish like a child or someth-HEH!" you squeaked when a very ticklish feeling startled you- starting at your lower side.
You looked at Hatori in horror. He had an amused smile on his face, a kind of expression you didn't see on him before. He tickled you on purpose!
"As a doctor, I can confirm that not only children are ticklish, don't worry. It's just, I did not expect you to have such a cute reaction."
CUTE?!
You were blushing like crazy now. Was he flirting? You hoped this was him teasing you in a romantic way, because if it happened to be just Hatori the playful doctor, treating you like a child patient, then you were going to be embarrassed for life.
"May I continue? I promise I won’t tickle you."
He even said that! Your hands that still held up your shirt were tempted to pull it back down, but you also didn't want to ruin this moment of what seemed like a little bit of intimacy... Even if it may be just a doctor and his patient, he had never been this close to you before.
"I d-don't mind..." you mumbled. Hatori smiled kindly.
"Which part?"
Hmm? You frowned. "Whether I continue checking, or whether I tickle you? Which won't you mind?"
PFfft! Since when was he like this? You gaped at him in surprise - so surprised that your reaction broke right through your wall of shyness: "Doctor Sohma, are you really teasing me right now?"
Hatori shook with gentle chuckles and he nodded. "I apologize for my lack of professionalism. Yes, I'm afraid I am teasing you," he admitted.
You nodded slowly and pulled your shirt back down. "Then, how about me teasing you back?"
It would and could have been a great move. You reached for his side and tried to tickle him, but within a swift movement he caught your hand, flipped you right over until you lay sprawled on his lap, and you stared up at him in surprise.
Oh god.... He stared down at you and the tiniest bit of a smirk could be seen as he studied your reaction.
"Nice try, but I'm not ticklish," he said. That may have been a very confident lie, but you wouldn't find out now, since the moment he started to tickle your sides for real, you lay in his lap and squirmed and giggled for your poor ticklish life.
"Ehehehe nohoho Hahaha-Hatohohori-sahahan!"
Well, you were honored that he felt so comfortable around you to tickle the shit out of you all of a sudden. But also, what the hell, Hatori?!
"Hmm, let's see," he said, turning you over a little and scribbling all over your bare tummy.
"It's not here. More over here, hmm?" he said, wiggling his fingers from the middle of your tummy to your sides, pretending to still be a doctor as he searched for the red marks that actually caused you to end up in this predicament.
"Hehehe waha-wahahait! Dohohon't!" you giggled hysterically and wiggled and danced on his lap, but although he appeared calm and collected, there was a certain firm strength in his grip and the way he made sure you weren't going to escape...
Well if anything, you were only falling in love more with him, and you had no idea if that was a good thing.
"Nohoho eeeheeeek! Plehee-wahaha!" you cried when you tried to wriggle free, causing you to fall a little off his lap. With your hands on the floor, you managed to make sure you weren't going to slip to the ground entirely, even though that might free you from his tickles.
"Oh you're trying to get away now?"
You squeaked when you could feel his fingers slip under your arms, tickling your armpits until you lost strength in your arms.
Finally dropping in a miserable heap on the floor, you tried to crawl away, still giggling and laughing hysterically, but Hatori came right after you. He turned you over on your back again and tickled your sides and ribs in the most playful and suprising way ever.
"Eeeheheeek I gihihive! Haha-Hatori-sahahan plehehease!" you howled, wishing your hysterical cackling wouldn't get worse than this.
"You do? You surrender?" Hatori smiled. Eeeep.... His fingers slowed down and finally rested against your heaving sides without tickling you any further.
He stared at you with a fond expression in his eyes. "I... think it may indeed be an allergic reaction, but I'll have to investigate further. So I'll need to check again and make some notes later. Would you let me?"
You breathed heavily and looked up at him. "Of course," you said with a blush. And suddenly he was very close.
"Good."
Well, you were kissing him now. Finally. Your arms moved up around his neck. Even sooner than in your wildest dreams, thanks to that crazy tickly experience just now - but you did it! You managed to lure out the romantic and playful side out of the mysterious Hatori Sohma all at once, and your love seemed mutual?
Well, onwards to more dates with him, more kisses, and you would definitely allow him: more tickles!

Hiii, omg ur taking requests?? i LOVE ur writing sm aghh 😍😍❤️❤️ would u write part 2 to think about me? i adored it sm maybe the reader is sick (she has a fever and really bad cough) but is very horny so she calls gator who’s at work rn but he promises he comes as soon as he can? also her relationship with gator is secret and he comes over when her parents are gone with her little brothers for the weekend and gator takes care of her and also she’s so clingy? <3 and when she vomits in front of him she cries and is so embarrassed…
Part two to Think About Me (but could be read as a standalone lol)
Hope you enjoy! And thank you for enjoying my writing!! <3
CW: Age gap (reader is 20, gator is 27), mentions of smut but no actual smut, Gator being very sweet does that count??
Your relationship with Gator was, surprisingly, nice. He was sweet, brought you pretty flowers and your favorite chocolates. He messaged you first thing in the morning and before you went to bed. He was perfect. You were both perfect. Other than the fact that it had to be hidden.
Your father had made that clear on your birthday. The Tillman's had been invited over and apparently there had been enough tension between you and Gator to raise suspicions from your parents. Suddenly you were too young, too naive to have a boyfriend. You thought it was ridiculous.
You were excited for this weekend, having many things planned out for you and Gator. Your entire family would be gone. Some out of state football game happening for one of your brothers. You had feigned sickness.
Only that had seemed to be your downfall as the early Saturday hours slowly drifted into the afternoon. Your cough worsened, becoming more severe as your cheeks grew hot and sweaty. You brushed it aside, sure that it was your hard work from cleaning so furiously.
"Hello," The raspy voice on the other end of the line drew out playfully, bringing a smile to your lips as you sniffled again, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," You said quickly, already hearing the worry in his tone, "Just some allergies. Do you think you could bring me something when you get off of work?"
"What kind of somethin'?" He teased, making you shift deeper into the couch as a giddy feeling spread through you. It was almost enough to make you neglect the sense of sickness you'd felt.
You thought of the habit he had to sneak into your room when everyone else was asleep, of all the sweet nights you'd had together. He liked kissing you. He liked kissing you everywhere. You were tingly at the thought once again.
"Don't know," You giggled softly as you curled up on the couch, smiling as you felt a rush of pleasure form between your legs at his words, "Something to make me feel better."
"I got the perfect cure for ya, baby doll," He teased, making you feel like you had thousands of butterflies spreading through your stomach, "Can you last a few more hours without me?"
"Mhm," You drew out softly, excited as you glanced back towards the kitchen. You had a crockpot full of chili on and had plans to make cinnamon rolls once he got closer. He liked those, especially when you added raisins to them, "I'll be waiting here for you."
Your plans became even more disrupted as your symptoms grew worse. You piled under blankets and blankets, unable to stop shivering despite how hot your face was. Every time you began to doze off your rough coughing awoke you, your lungs burning from the sensation.
"Hey," Gator's voice awoke you this time around, making your eyes snap open as you quickly sat up. He guided you slowly, holding onto your shoulders as you glanced at the time, "You alright?"
"I overslept," You wheezed out, sighing as you began to couch roughly once again, "Sorry. I was gonna make cinnamon rolls and-," You began to stand but gator gripped your shoulders and quickly sat you back down. You nodded your head, feeling like the house was spinning a little bit.
"You sick?" He mumbled as he brought his palm up against your forehead, then dragged it against your cheeks. You mumbled, shrugging your shoulders, "Where's the thermometer?"
"Um," You paused as you thought about it, "It's in the kitchen drawer. The second to the left." You said, sure of your answer. It hadn't been too long since you had to use it on one of your brothers.
Gator paused, pulling his paper bag open for a moment before he handed you a bag of cough drops and some nighttime cough syrup. You wrinkled your nose, thinking about how disgusting it would taste. You were still grateful though.
He gripped your chin softly with one hand when he approached again, then used the other to slide the thermometer under your tongue. You stared up at him, admiring the concentrated look on his features.
"Bite down," He instructed, making you blink in surprise before you did as he asked. He smirked a little, looking a little cocky as he flicked his eyes from your features and back to the numbers on the screen. He whistled, making your eyes snap up to him, "I'm gonna get you something to bring that down." He mumbled, shaking his head as he walked into the kitchen again.
"I made us chili," You replied, feeling like it wasn't that big of a deal to have a little fever, "I thought we could watch a movie. I got new pajamas too."
"You did?" He approached again, wearing a smile this time as he placed some pills in one of your palms and a glass of water in the other, "Drink that." You nodded along, doing what he instructed in hopes that you would feel better.
"I wanted it to be a good night," You replied, doing your best to keep from pouting as he unwrapped a cough drop for you next, "Thanks." You said softly as you popped it in your mouth, sucking on it a few times before you began to chew on it. It was a habit. You couldn't help it.
"It still can be," He mentioned offhandedly, as he brushed his fingers across your cheek, "I'll get us chili. You sit here. Uh, here." He paused as he handed you the remote, sending you a soft smile before he went on his way.
Your stomach twisted at the thought of food, so you set your bowl aside and curled up against him instead. He held you close, keeping his arm wrapped around your shoulders as he pulled you in tightly.
Your felt a little better curled up to his side, head resting against his shoulder as you drifted in and out of sleep. He was warm, giving you that comfort you needed as he held onto you close. Occasionally you'd hear him chuckle, which you hoped had to do with whatever he was watching and not the fact that you were sure you were snoring.
A cold sweat woke you up this time, making you pull away from Gator as your stomach twisted and turned in odd directions. You glanced at him for just a moment, noticing that he had somehow slipped into his sleep clothes at some point.
"You alright?" He asked as he brushed his palm across your back, rubbing softly as a bitter taste filled your mouth. You felt your eyes widen as you quickly stood, tripping over your own feet as you stumbled into the bathroom.
You made it just in time as you emptied the contents from your stomach into the toilet. You continued to gag for a moment, wishing that you could've shut the door first.
You felt his hands on your back before you heard his sweet reassurances. You held onto the counter for a moment, trying to catch your breath as you suddenly felt hot tears against your cheeks. This was not how you wanted your night with him to go.
"Hey," His voice was soft and warm, smooth like sugar as he continued to rub at your back. It was a little too hard, like he didn't know what he was doing, "It's alright. Just a little puke." He replied, like it was no big deal.
You wiped your mouth, sniffling as you flushed the toilet and sat back on your knees for a moment. You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion, listening to the sound of gagging from next to you.
"Fuck," Gator replied as he held his palm over his mouth, shaking his head quickly, "I'm sorry. Shit. Fuck, I'm fine. Really." He nodded his head, but looked a little pale as he rubbed at your back.
"You're fine," You replied as you sniffled, laughing once again as you shook your head, "I understand. I'm sorry. You shouldn't have seen that." You sighed as you stood onto shaky knees, gripping your toothbrush before you scrubbed your mouth clean.
"How about-," He began slowly as he adjusted your pajama shirt, covering up your exposed skin as his eyes met yours in the mirror, "I run a bath for you. How does that sound?"
You paused as you spit into the sink, satisfied that you could only taste mint as you slowly stood to look at him again. You nodded your head, feeling a little shy suddenly as he guided you upstairs.
His hand was warm in yours, strong as he held onto you tightly. Once you were inside the bathroom he got the water to the desired temperature before he slowly stripped you down.
His eyes still wandered, but not in a suggestive way. He admired you, making your heart thump roughly against your bones as he helped you into the tub.
You sank down into the water, sighing at the way the hot water massaged your tense muscles. Gator stood back for just a moment before he crawled in behind you.
He hummed softly before he pulled you back against him, pulling you close as he pressed his chest against your back. It was intimate, far more intimate than the times he'd been buried between your legs. You'd never had him be this sweet before, this caring.
You supposed your night wasn't all that bad after all.

Seventeen’s Ideal First Date
Twas just running through my head 😁
S.Coups: We all know he is going to ✨impress✨. Takes you out to a super nice place for dinner and is all oh it’s no big deal ☺️ but it is to you! It makes him happy how truly grateful you are as well as how excitedly you share all the fine food with him! One of his first questions when you get there is if you have any allergies or anything first though 🥲
Jeonghan: He’s not a big goer-outer, but inviting you over for the first date seems too sus and you’re worth plenty of outings 😘 Jeonghan invites you to a wine and paint night. He totally teases you that you’re totally an amazing artist right? But he really can’t wait to see how you do and have something matching and that joy shows on his face 🥺
Joshua: Your date is a bit impromptu, a night walk Joshua realizes he just really wants to share with you, so he asks you to join him and suddenly you’re off for an adventure! You two probably traipse through a night market first before you end up walking along a bridge, stars shining above you as you watch side by side. And of course a little market memento Joshua insisted on buying you in hand too! ✨
Jun: Bro this man is so pure he’s said himself he would take his crush out for ice cream 🥲 once Jun asks you out, he grins and hopefully asks if you can meet for ice cream on friday afternoon, and how could you say no to those eyes? Buys you as many scoops as you want and gets so excited to swap flavors, please let him! Wipes any drips off your hand or cheeks with the gentlest touch, napkin just brushing over your skin as he smiles softly. 🥰
Hoshi: Hope you like ✨activity�� because this man is NOT taking you on a restful first date! But don’t worry, he doesn’t want to go somewhere crowded, so you guys will likely go on a hike. Enjoy the way he get so excited at any sights of wildlife, pointing them out with a childlike smile and asking you questions as you walk. Attempts birdcalls that just sound so ridiculous you burst into wild laughter, especially when he does a matching pose. If you get tired or wear the wrong shoes, toward the end of your descent he’ll insist on carrying you just to show off that he can! 💪🏻
Wonwoo: His first move is to ask you to coffee, taking you to the prettiest café he knows of so you can take cute pictures of your drinks and the scenery. It’s a start to the day, too, so if you want to move on to a second location you guys have time to do that, and something in Wonwoo is hoping you will! The second location he has in mind being a really pretty garden to walk through with you- the amount of photos you’ll get on this date!!! He does his best to impress you with botany facts that he most definitely didn’t research the night before, no way…🪻
Woozi: He asks you out to lunch because it’s an easier time to schedule as well as a little less pressure! You guys can go somewhere nice but still casual and have fun over some quick bites-more time to really talk and get to know each other, which is what he wants to do! He will absolutely insist on paying, so don’t try to fight him! That date starts a running joke between you two because the appetizer you split was odd-numbered and you made a Lady and the Tramp joke to diffuse the tension…but he took it as the spaghetti part not the meatball lolol. It was embarrassing then, but cute and funny now. 🍝
DK: Asks you to the water park but, like, not in a misogynistic way. Legit just wants to play on giant slides and chat down the lazy river with you. Laughs if you splash him, but is too much of a sweetheart to splash you back very hard 💔 Insists on cheersing whatever little sodas or smoothies you two drink poolside. Also you guys will have a pose-off when you dive in to see who does the funniest or coolest one as they jump! Makes you laugh with his fish impression 😌
Mingyu: President of the ‘doing his best to impress’ club, Mingyu straight-up takes you out on a boat. He’s like ‘hey, wanna go on a boat ride?’ and you’re just like ‘a what?’ but that’s how you end up laughing in the sun sitting on the bench together, drinks in hand and cute boating shirts aka middle aged rich man chic on for some great photos Mingyu insists on taking 🥰 He hopes you’ll get startled in the choppier waters so he can hold onto you 😏
The8: Just for something lowkey you can enjoy together, he invites you to walk a gallery with him. He’s such a good gallery partner because he genuinely wants to hear your input, what pieces you like or don’t prefer, if something makes you feel a certain way. You also have a built-in photographer who takes some great pictures of you and may ask for a few in return 😉 If you connect any of the arts or their concepts to literature you’ll have Minghao swooning! 🖼️
Seungkwan: Asks you out to a walk on the beach. He loves being by the ocean, and that way you two have plenty of time to talk, which is the most important part of the date to Seungkwan. He absolutely loves seeing the seaside wind in your hair, running along the sand like a pair of giddy children, seeing who could find the prettiest seaglass. After that, you guys get lunch at one of those cute dockside restaurants overlooking the water! You won’t life a finger at that meal, Seungkwan will insist on taking care of you as much as he can 💕
Vernon: Out of both love for films and a desire to keep things low-pressure for you both, Vernon asks you to a movie! He’ll try to take your interests into account as much as he can and balance it with what he wants to see, too. After the movie, you guys can grab drinks or a bite to eat and discuss! Vernon absolutely loves how you two can see the same thing, yet from such a different pair of eyes that you notice things he missed or the experiences hit that much more home for you. This helps him feel more deeply connected. 🎞️
Dino: Such a classic date! Drinks and a night of dancing await you. Corny as it may be, Chan just can’t wait to see you twirl around and let loose with you. Even if you aren’t good, he’ll hype you up and tell you you’re cute and doing amazing, he can help you with anything you want to try. We always feel closer to someone after we dance, right? Well, that’s what he thinks, not to mention this date gives him an excuse to hold your hand lots and learn your favorite drink by heart! 🥂

Ugh I saved the asks to my drafts to work on it and now Tumblr won't let me edit it so I'm tagging you instead 😑 @yarnnerdally This one kind of escaped the requested prompt but I hope you enjoy lol
♞: Caring for each other while ill
Pairing: Nanami Kento x GN!reader
When you first heard a sneeze in your classroom, a feeling of dread immediately filled your chest. You tried to brush it off, attribute it to simple allergies or some dust. But once your other students started to sneeze as well, you knew what was coming. It was cold and flu season, and everyone seemed to be coming down with something, leaving you surrounded by the sick.
You had tried your best to maintain distance with your students and keep up with hygiene and sanitation, but it was too late by then. It was to no one's surprise when you fell ill, sniffling and coughing and sore all over. Poor Nanami had recently moved in with you, and between training the same students and sharing a space with you, he quickly followed suit.
Despite Gojo's repeated efforts and offers to look after you both, you and Nanami decided to quarantine in your home instead, thankfully recently stocked with tissues and cold medicine. It was a little strange at first, admittedly, being stuck together like this without your students to interrupt. But perhaps this was the opportunity for some one on one time with your boyfriend.
You knew, deep down, that Nanami was a caretaker. It was evident in the way he handled the students, always thoughtful and caring in the way he spoke to them and taught them how to fight. But it became even more apparent in his care for you. Although he was equally as sick, the man was unstoppable, cooking warm, comforting food for you and fetching you things for your fever and cough. Often times, he knew what you needed before even you knew, warming your heart at just how sweet he was. So you did your best to reciprocate, making him rice porridge, tea with honey, and getting him warm compresses for his aching muscles. You were both suffering, but at least, you supposed, you were suffering together.
The whole situation was also giving you terrible daydreams of what married life would be like with Nanami. You didn't like to assume where the relationship was going, although him moving in wasn't a minor move by any means, especially by his standards. But as he showed his expert skills at caring for you, you just couldn't help it.
Gojo, who had been checking up on the two of you daily, seemed to pick up on your feelings without even mentioning it to him, something you always found irritating about him just as much as it was useful. Just as the same daydream began to cross your mind again, your phone chimed with an incoming text.
[7:26PM] Satoru☆: soooo what do you think Nanamin would be like when you're married? 💒
You could feel your face heat up at the question, and you knew the cause wasn't your cold. Thankfully Nanami was busy cooking dinner, giving you time to respond, but you could imagine the exasperated sigh he'd let out if he caught sight of Gojo's message.
[7:29PM] You: We literally just moved in together, we're not even thinking of marriage yet
It was a lie, but you'd be damned if you'd admit your daydreams to Gojo so easily.
[7:30PM] Satoru☆: oh please, moving in together is the same as getting married for him
[7:31PM] Satoru☆: and anyway you can't tell me that him taking care of you doesn't make you think about it?
Damn him and his annoying perceptiveness. You deigned not to answer his question, but Gojo never made it easy to ignore him, as your phone blew up with several more messages.
[7:35PM] Satoru☆: cmonnnnn Y/N you know you've thought of it ;)
[7:36PM] Satoru☆: Y/NNNNNN
[7:37PM] Satoru☆: helloooooooo
[7:38PM] Satoru☆: you can't ignore me forever, you know you've thought about husband Nanamin before 💖
You couldn't help the exasperated sound that left your mouth, rolling your eyes at his childish behavior. You finally went to reply to his texts when someone took the phone out of your hands. Looking up, Nanami now held your phone, looking at you worriedly before glancing at the contact name on your phone.
"I was trying to tell you dinner is ready, but you weren't responding. I heard your phone keep going off so I thought something happened, but I see now it's just a pest," he said, brows furrowing in distaste. Nanami always tried to shield you from the annoyances of his colleague, making you smile.
"It's just Gojo. He's just being silly while he checks up on us. It's nothing to worry about," you said.
"I see," he replied, now looking over the text messages. You worried for a moment about what he would say, but Nanami simply huffed before typing out a response.
[7:41PM] You: This is husband Nanamin. Stop texting my spouse or I will have to block you.
He quickly sent the message, not allowing you to see what he wrote, before setting your phone to silent and tossing it onto the couch. He then pulled you up and into his arms, his face finally relaxing.
"That should distract him for a little bit. Now, come eat some dinner prepared by your loving husband," he said, leaning down to peck your lips.
Instantly, you could feel your cheeks burning, and you struggled for a response. Nanami only smiled at you before turning to the kitchen, leaving you a flustered mess. Perhaps getting sick was the best thing that could have happened to you two.

Prompt #7
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Masterlist
••••••••••••••••••••••••
I don't think I've ever seen Carbon Monoxide poisoning in whump...
I mean, there's just so much potential!
Characters falling ill with some mysterious sickness, everyone in the house having similar, if not the same symptoms.
Maybe it's just dizziness, fatigue, headaches, muscle aches, and nausea. All things that are inconvenient, and after a certain point, become worrisome and quite concerning but not life threatening and some might just brush off. Maybe if they live alone they think they're over-dramatic or that their age or past experiences are finally getting to them. If they have roommates, maybe they chock it up to food poisoning or seasonal allergies being extra bad or maybe it's all the studying, work, and/or parties. Some could even think it's a virus of some kind.
But it continues to get worse. With things like seizures, hallucinations, and disorientation making a character who lives alone think they're going completely insane or maybe they finally go to the hospital because y'know. Seizures. If they're roommates, then wow, that's some bad food poisoning. Or they've been having some awful trips lately.
Anyway, eventually if nothings done about it, it can leave a character or two comatose or even eventually dead.
Just seems quite whumpy and with a ton of potential. Whether it's a sickfic, environmental whump, etc.
Not to mention; what about a recovering whumpee? What or who are they hallucinating? This sure would make physical and mental recovery a hell of a lot harder. Especially when the caretaker is extremely ill and experiencing similar symptoms as the whumpee.
Would be a shame if this happened to your poor recovering blorbos :(

Consider: Tim having walking pneumonia. It starts in august, ragweed season, and so when he starts most days with a scratchy throat, sniffles, and some coughing, it’s easy enough to think “allergies.” At first the batfam is Suspicious(tm) bc they know better than to trust Tim at his word in all matters of self care. But there’s no fever, not at first, and while his symptoms don’t really go away, they also don’t get worse. Allergy meds do help his sniffling a bit so - okay! After a few weeks, Tim starts to feel more emotional. It’s so stupid, but he can’t stop himself from tearing up at the smallest compliment or any sign of conflict, even Jason’s affectionate teasing. He guesses he’s just sad right now, especially because everything is so draining. Brushing his teeth, doing homework, even helping out on comms (his FAVORITE) makes him feel all wilted and hollow inside. And then, the night sweats, leaving his sheets horribly damp and chilly. Sometimes it clings to him and soon he can’t seem to shake the cold. He can wear hoodies and blame it on the air conditioning inside, but it’s early September and even the baking heat off Gothams black tar makes him feel shivery. Tim gets snappy with everyone, because he’s so Tired, and so frustrated with being Tired, and for some reason, so Sad!!! One morning not long after, Jason and Dick and Bruce are all getting on each other’s case about, well, a case and Tim bursts into full on sobs at the table. Bruce only has to hold Tim for a moment to sense he’s warm. And then: the thermometer, the throat checking, the hair petting. Nothing horribly high but “uncomfortable enough to really throw you for a loop, huh bud?” If it gets any worse they’ll call Leslie. Meds, cuddles, repeat. But the next night, a slowly climbing fever. Not a spike, but a simmer. Over 8 hours it creeps higher even with meds and at 104 Bruce decides enough is enough (well, only right after Jason emphatically shouts Fuck This). Tim gets high fevers, sure, but something about this feels wrong. So around Leslie comes, with a barrage of tests and a “huh….oh. YUP.” And there it is: atypical pneumonia. Slow to progress, hard to notice. And poor Tim’s body just started to shut down after a while. All that coughing sure makes sense in retrospect. He’ll be fine with some antibiotics and A LOT of rest, as long as the fam can keep their guilt complex under control for 3 seconds around him. Just his luck, right?
Oh I am HIGH KEY considering
#I love this so much#you’ve got like all my favorite sickfic tropes rolled into one#slow progressing illnesses that are easy to write off at first!!#crying from feeling overwhelmed!!#fevers making people emotional!!#guilt complex Waynes!!#love love love this#and now would be a good time to mention#if ANYONE wants to write a fic inspired by one of my fics or set in the universe of one of my fics#you are MORE than welcome to do so#and I’ll be DELIGHTED to read it#so like OP you got some solid bones here if you wanna flesh this out…. 👀

Hey! Wow always so excited to find a new sickfic blog! I loved your first one with woozi could I possibly request a Stray Kids fic with sneezy Felix, maybe with a newfound allergy or allergies of somesort and caretaking Chan or Leeknow?
Thank you so much!
Sickie: Felix
Caretaker: Minho and Chan
Felix p.o.v
Seungmin had just come back from working with the stylists preparing for our filming. He came back and informed me that it was my turn to go. I went to the room where the stylists were. The first step was getting my makeup down. Chan was sitting in the area next to me getting his hair done. I smiled when he began pouting when they put the foundation on. "You're covering his cute freckles," He said, the stylists laughed, "I'll do light foundation," she assured the leader. He smiled and I grinned back. The leader had always made me feel more comfortable with my freckles.
After makeup, I switched with Chan. My hair went faster than his because they didn't have to be as gentle because my hair is way less damaged.
I went over to the stylists and they began choosing an outfit for me.
showing me my outfit for the shoot. It looked nice in my opinion. Black jeans with a green t-shirt and a white fur coat over it. I quickly changed into my outfit as the others began changing too. After putting on my outfit, and making sure that the other members were ready, the shoot began. Hardly 10 mins into the shoot, I felt a tickle in my nose. I tried to brush it off, mainly because I didn't have enough time to deal with it right now. But as the shoot progressed, I could feel it getting harder to control my sinuses. At one point, when I couldn't hold it back any longer, I turned away from the camera as my eyes fluttered shut. "HhKstchux!- HtksKschux!" I rubbed at my eyes, nose tickling freely now. I was hoping that no one had noticed but Lee Know looked over at me. "Bless you. You okay?" He asked, and I nodded. And the shoot continued.
A few moments later I was doing a shoot with Chan, and at one point he had his arm around me when my nose began tickling again. I nudged his arm off, "Everything okay, Lix?"
"Y-hhh-yeah, hhh- HKtchhu!- KTcShhu!- HXTchu! snf."
"Bless you. You okay?"
"Yeah, sorry"
"It's okay. You sure you're okay?" He looked at me, "Your eyes are a bit pink."
"I'm fine Channie hyung." I sniffled and smiled at him. I wasn't exactly sure what was wrong with my nose, but I didn't want Chan to worry about me. Especially when I couldn't even figure out what was happening myself.
After we finished filming just the two of us, Danceracha met up to film their part. I was beginning to get quite irritated with my nose which was still super itchy, and I swear it was just getting worse. I wondered if I was getting sick. We started to film. As the feeling of a sneeze building up got too unbearable again, I turned away from the others and ducked my head to my arm. "HhktsSchu!- HtsckKShu!- HtKSchChUu!- Ugh." "Bless you, Lix." Said Lee Know. At this point, I didn't even care if they found out something was wrong. I was more preoccupied with my nose. I ducked towards my arm again as the tickle in my nose peaked. "HhTkSchu!- HtkSCHuu!- Ugh, HhktsChsu!- snf." "Lix, are you okay? Do you want a break or something?" Asked Lee Know. "Yes, please hyung," I said, too tired to deny anything. I left the filming area and was met with Chan holding a box of tissues out to me. "Thanks, hyung." He smiled, "No problem Lix. You feeling okay?"
"I felt fine earlier. I'm not exactly sure what's going on. My nose is crazy itchy and I can't stop sneezing. HKtchu!-" The sneeze was harsh and louder than my usual sneezes. Chan seemed to notice and cringed a bit. "Bless you!" I smiled in thanks and took another tissue and blew my nose. "Ugh, I don't know what's wrong with me."
"Sounds like an allergy, Lixxie."
"I'm not a-hh-lerg-hh-ic HhKtchu!- KTchu!- ktchHu!- allergic to anything."
"I don't know about that Lix" I heard behind me. I turned around and saw Minho hyung standing behind us. "You're definitely bothered by something."
"Well, the symptoms you have right now are 99% per cent allergies. Let's just try checking out a few things you might potentially be allergic to." Said Chan, and not wanting to argue, I just nodded. "Okay, could you take off your coat? You might just be allergic to it." "I don't think that's likely but sure," I replied and gently took off the coat. As I did so, I could feel the tickling sensation in my nose get stronger again and my eyes closed involuntarily. "Hh…KTschShu!- HhKsTschU!- HhKSchChu!- Ugh." "Bless you. Could you try sniffing the coat? I have a feeling that it's what's causing this reaction." Said Chan and I rolled my eyes but brought the jacket up to my face. Immediately, my nose started tickling like crazy and I quickly brought my arm up to my face. "HhhKTSCHu!- Ahh…HTKchsHu!- HTKsChU!- HhKTSChu!- snf, HhTskChu!-" "Bless you! I think we figured out what you're allergic to now. Do you wanna go home and rest?" Chan asked and I nodded. He gave me a sympathetic pat on the shoulder before walking towards the manager to explain the situation to him. As I waited, Lee Know walked up to me. "Here, I think you might want these'' He handed me a box of tissues." "Thanks, hyung." I sniffled. Chan walked back to us. “I cleared it up with our manager, you can go home early Lix.” I heaved a huge sigh of relief at his words. “Though, you’ll have to go alone as I still have my photoshoot,” Chan added. “I can go with him,” Lee Know said and I smiled gratefully at him. I really didn’t wanna be alone right now. “Wanna go then, hyung?” I asked and Lee Know nodded. We made our way to the company cars.
"I'm sorry to take you away from filming hyung."
"It's okay Lix, I understand that it's pretty miserable to have an allergic reaction. Especially when you've never had one before. I think it's a good idea to get you home. You should-
"HhtSHhu- ktSCHu- ktCHShu- tktCHshuh"
"Bless you! Let's get you home and showered off so you can stop sneezing so much."
"Yeah, I'd like that. I feel pretty awful." He gave me a sympathetic smile and patted my shoulder as I blew my nose. He cringed slightly. "Sorry it's so gross."
"You're not gross Lix, you're having a pretty serious reaction to an allergen. There's nothing gross about that." I smiled, thankful for his sympathy.
Once we got back to the dorms Minho hyung sent me straight to the bathroom to shower. Once I finished showering, I made my way to the couch where I saw Lee Know making some Ramen. I sat down next to him. He handed me the Ramen. "Eat up, Lix. You're gonna need it. Then you can go straight to bed." I nodded gratefully and started eating. Halfway through, I felt the annoying itch return to my nose and I quickly turned away. "Hhkktschu!- Hh…HtskKschu!-"
"Bless you!"
"Thanks" I finished eating, once I did Minho hyung took the dish away, "Okay, time for bed." I walked to my room and changed into my pajamas. A few minutes later Lee Know came upstairs and tucked me in. "Thanks hyung." I said. " Anytime, Lix." He smiled.

ModernAU!Sandor Clegane x Reader (III)
trigger warnings: references to sex, drinking, swearing, gregor and gregor involved trauma, mentions of car crash, mentions of therapy, angst
• Sandor asks if you have allergies just to be extra sure you don’t die on his watch
• You may or may not be joking when you tell him sesame seeds because you send laughing emojis afterwards
• He’s not risking it, the seasoning is sealed into a plastic bag and put in the very back of the highest shelf of his kitchen
• Ends up glad he did, you’re very allergic to sesame seeds you just find the story behind it hilarious
• “I’m eating pasta and suddenly- hives! Mytongue was so swollen I couldn’t talk. The doctor does like three blood tests and can’t figure it out. Mom’s livid, she leaves and comes back with every ingredient for her pasta and has me eat it. Everyone was freaking out the whole time, my dad kept saying ‘who in the seven hell's allergic to that?’. I eat that tiny seed and blow up like a balloon again. When we got home I looked at my dad and said ‘who the fuck’s allergic to sesame seeds?’. First time ever he let me swear.”
• Sandor actually finds the story entertaining but he goes home and decides to throw out the seeds. Just to be extra, extra safe.
• It’s really cute how nervous you both are over the fact it’s a “date” and not a “hangout”. An actual for real life date!
• You’ve had exactly two serious partners before but something or the other led to a breakup. Then there wasn’t much time for dating in college, the one person you were into then didn’t want more from you than to “scratch an itch”
• Which is more what Sandor’s used to. One night stands, “friends” with benefits (benefits part was accurate at least) was his comfort zone but Sandor’s been on dates before! He can count them on one hand but hey, it’s more than he ever expected to receive
• You have a cheek hurting smile on your face when he opens the door and one reusable bag in each hand. Sandor steps back to let you inside, closing the door afterwards and following you into the kitchen.
• “Tell me ya didn’t carry all that with you on the bus.”
• (He’s offered to drive you around if he was able. He really hates knowing you rely on the bus at night, especially when you joke that you’re 99% confident you’re sitting next to a murderer. It’s the only time he doesn’t appreciate those jokes)
• “I didn’t,” You reassure him while placing the bags on the counter, “My roommate dropped me off.”
• Sandor grunts and steps directly behind you, his chest almost brushing against your back, so he can peer into the bags you’re unpacking. He can clearly see the red dusting your cheeks but doesn’t comment on it, which you’re grateful for. On his counter is two six packs of beer, a northern brand you’ve seen him drink before as well as a bottle of fruity, southern wine.
“You tryin’ to get me drunk?”
You scoff out a laugh, “Please, this isn’t even enough to get you tipsy.”
Finally you start to pull out a neatly wrapped box with a bow on top, shiny blue and greens.
“What’s this?” Sandor reaches for it and barks out in surprise when you smack his hand away.
“Your present— don’t you dare open it until I say so!” You demand while pointing a finger at him.
Now, Sandor didn’t like being told what to do… but he really liked when you were bold like that around him... so he rolls his eyes and surrenders his hands while he stalks further into the kitchen
• He lived in a single story house. Three closed doors, the one that was open was obviously a bathroom. The living room was adjacent to the kitchen, a black leather couch sat across from a fair sized tv. There was no dining table but the countertop had two barstools on the other side
• It was clean and very Sandor but very.. spacious. Empty. There were hardly any pictures or personal touches and that made your heart ache for inexplicable reasons
• The kitchen seems the most used out of everything else you’ve seen so you slink over to Sandor’s side.
• On the stove is a large pot that steams as he stirs its containments. Soup from what you can see, it’s colorful and smells amazing! You tell him so
• You occupy Sandor’s right side, he immediately knows that expression on your face means you want to ask him a question,
“Get no more than ten, make ‘em count.”
“How long have you been cooking?”
He hums, glancing at you then the clock on the oven, “An hour? Maybe.”
Your smile returns with a small giggle, “I meant, like, over your whole life.”
Sandor gives you a look that makes you feel smaller than you already are next to him, “No ya didn’t.”
You giggle and feign innocence. It doesn’t work so with a roll of your eyes and always that grin you admit, “No, I didn’t, but now I’m curious.”
“Always been good at it. Father said it was women’s work but,” The man talks as he carefully maneuvers around you, pulling open a drawer you stood in front of and plucking a metal spoon from it, “At the academy, there’s no women to cook. The boys take turns making meals.”
• (Sandor mentioned this before, the military academy he lived in from 14-18 years old, however it was the first time he’s ever brought up his father. He had to have one of course but sometimes you wondered if Sandor Clegane just appeared one day, he’s literally not once brought up his family!)
• You want to ask more but the minute you open your mouth, Sandor holds a spoonful of soup in front of your face. His palm hovers under your chin, to catch any drops but you’re painfully aware how he’s deliberately not touching you
“S’not poison,” He smirks, “Taste it.”
• You hate the way your knees go weak. Quickly you accept the sample and invite yourself to sit on the counter as he moves away
“Too spicy? Yer face is pretty red, killer.” Sandor chuckles and it makes your blush worsen.
• When you get control of yourself, you do tell him that it tastes amazing. He reaches over the counter with ease placing two full bowls beside each other then soon after a loaf of bread joins them
“Y’know it’s cheating if you bought the bread.”
Sandor sounds equally smug, “Didn’t cheat then.”
• He made bread. For you. Do you know how long it takes to do that!? Sandor Clegane baked bread for your date!
• You take pictures of the food before digging in. Sandor gives you a funny look about it and says, “Gettin’ that proof of your last meal, killer?”
Your grin widens at the nickname, “Hate to disappoint, but it looks really good and I wanted a picture— thank you, by the way.”
He shrugs like it wasn’t a big deal, “I take it you’re not a cook.”
“I’ll have you know I’m a pro at turning on my oven! Wait, that sounded dirty…” Sandor chuckles and shakes his head, “I just don’t have the time so I usually eat at work. Free bagels for breakfast and I’m at a job site with Dan, he caters for whoever’s there.”
“If you wanna keep that cafe job, y’might wanna stop stealin’,” He chides with a smirk, “Your boss already has it out for you.”
You laugh and cover your mouth to hide the fact you almost choked on the soup he made, “He won’t fire me, he probably won’t even let me quit! I’ll be chained up in the back and only let out to work morning shifts, slipping you notes to rescue me.”
Sandor snorts as he stands up and moves into the kitchen to get seconds and a drink. While on the other side of the counter, he opens the wine you brought but only pours one glass, setting it in front of you.
You exaggerate a gasp and cover your mouth to feign shock, “How the tables have turned!”
“Oh shut it.” He rolls his eyes and turns to his fridge so you can’t see his smirk.
• Sandor finds himself time and time again relieved that you understand his personality. There’s moments where his bark borderlines on an actual growl but you haven’t been deterred. Not yet anyways. It’s.. an odd but a welcome change.. kind of like you
• Dishes in the sink, two glasses of wine and four beers later, your questions have surpassed the limit of ten. Sandor unintentionally turned it into a drinking game, claiming it was the only way to tolerate your curiosity. It’s drink or answer and as suspected he’s much more sober than you at this point. You’re holding your alcohol well, calling yourself an open book and nibbling on bread to keep up.
You sat on opposite ends of his couch. You on the right, crossed legged, holding the cup with two hands to be extra cautious while Sandor leaned back in his spot, one long arm draped along the back of the couch and his other hand occupied by a full beer can.
Suddenly you gasp, “Lemme see an old picture of you!”
“That’s not a question,” Sandor muses, “and no.”
“Can I see one? Look, I’ll find one of me and it’ll be a fair trade!”
He wants to say no. He could say no. He’s never had trouble saying the fucking word before! Sandor hadn’t willingly taken a picture in years, the most recent one he had was taken at the DMV because it was mandatory. He knows you wouldn’t battle him or whine if he flat out declined but he doesn’t know why he can’t
“I’d.. have to look.” He scratches the scruff of his beard.
You had your phone out, scrolling deep through your camera roll when you noticed the energy in the room shift. You made him uncomfortable. Your grin faltered but you were determined to save the moment, dropping your phone to the space between you and waving your hand around. “Wait, I wanna change my question! What did you wanna be when you were younger?”
Sandor grimaces and takes a swig from the bottle he held. Another sore subject, nice going genius. Fuck. You chew the inside of your cheeks trying to think of how to fix this but Sandor interrupts your thoughts,
“Y’know, ya ask me a million questions a day and not once have you asked me about it.”
You don’t need elaboration to know he’s talking about his scar. Your brows pinch together and any traces of a smile officially disappear, “I figured you’d tell me if you wanted to.”
“‘n if I never wanted to?” His tone is bitter but not angry, “We’d just go on pretending it wasn’t there?”
You tap a finger against the glass before reaching for your phone, “I guess.. I kinda know what it feels like,” it takes less than a second to find the photo you were searching for and you hand it over to Sandor, “When people see you and make assumptions.”
He frowns at your reply but takes your phone and looks down at the picture you wanted him to see. The only familiar face is you, holding the handles of a wheelchair directly in front of you and sitting in it is a man.
“That’s my dad,” You point out. Sandor assumes and the woman standing to your right must be your mother, “I won’t pretend it’s the same at all but everyone would look at us like.. oh, poor (Y/L/N)’s. It.. sucked and I wasn’t even the one..” You sigh deeply and struggle to meet his eyes, “It sucked and I didn’t want to make you feel that way. I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to pretend your scar wasn’t there. I was hoping you would tell me if you ever decided to, I wanted to know you on your terms.”
You purse your lips to the side when Sandor hands your phone back to you. He breaks the silence by standing, “Wait here.” he commands softly. Something about his voice made you wonder if he thought you would leave.
Sandor takes his time in his room debating if he really wants to go through with this as he reaches into a tightly sealed plastic box. The night sure as hell couldn’t get any worse, why the fuck not he decides. So the man returns with a picture frame and offers it to you hesitantly, still standing. Young Sandor Clegane, 16 if you had to guess, in a perfectly pressed uniform and side cap, standing with his hands behind his back. The oldest in the picture, you assume is his dad, is on his left with a girl in a pale yellow dress. She’s the only one that's smiling, it’s weak but there. On Sandor’s right with a hand clasped on his shoulder is a man taller than everyone else.
He watches the way the corner of your lip quirks up as you study the picture. Sandor sits in the middle of the couch, still giving you a fair amount of space between you, and ghosts a finger above each person in the picture.
“My sister ‘n our father,” He hovers his index over the largest man and the name that comes is uttered with such hatred it freezes your blood, “That’s Gregor.”
From his other hand Sandor surrenders a faded polaroid, tinged with orange. The faces in it aren’t clear but you can make out the same people from above, this time everyone’s younger and a woman stands beside his father.
“Is that your mom?” You ask with a widening grin, “You look just like her.”
“Aye, that’s what everyone else said too. Gregor and Eleanor took after our father.”
Each blink you look between the pictures and your smile fades. In the older one, Sandor has no scar and a mother and in the other is the opposite.
“Mum knew somethin’ wasn’t right with him.” He sighs, “She tried tellin’ father but he wouldn’t listen, tried to take me and Eleanor one night but he stopped her. She left anyways.”
“I was six. I wanted to be a firefighter then, like Gregor did. He said we couldn’t both be.. said I didn’t have what it takes. One night Gregor waited ‘till our father and sister went to sleep, woke me up ‘n brought me into the yard. He lit a fire and just.. watched me try to put it out. When I realized I couldn’t, I went to get father and he grabbed me. Pushed me down and held my face in the fire ‘till father heard me screamin’.”
You stack the pictures over each other and slowly lean your head on Sandor’s shoulder. He turns his head slightly, looking down at you and somehow finds it easier to continue talking, “Father put it out and took me to the hospital. Told everyone I was playin’ with matches, started the fire got what I deserved. I hated my mum for leavin’ when she did but I took the first chance I got to do the same.”
You hear him tapping on the picture frame before your eyes fall to his hand, “This was the last time I saw my sister. Eleanor went missin’ then father died and left everything to Gregor... Just him and I now.”
“Sandor...” Your voice was so… soft and hesitant.
Anxious he’s heard you, irritated, flirtatious but gentle? Never before has Sandor Clegane felt the way he did when he felt your body shift beside him. Hovering over his lap now, you wrapped your arms around his neck and held onto him. He can feel his heart pounding in his chest and ringing in his ears, the lump in his throat that threatens to choke him and the unfamiliar sting in his eyes that he hasn’t felt in… Gods, when was the last time he cried?
“I’m so sorry they didn’t protect you, Sandor.” You whispered, chin on his shoulder.
Sandor’s breath hitches. He doesn’t know what to say or do but he doesn’t want you to go so he rests a hand on your back, “‘s fine.”
“It’s not but I know you’re only saying that ‘cause you’re done talking about it.”
You’ve been hanging around him too much if you know that. It’s uncomfortable talking about his past, his family and suddenly he feels immensely guilty for dumping it all onto you.
“Crappy first date, huh?”
“Shut up.” But your arms tighten around him and he can hear the weak smile in your voice.
Slowly yet all too soon you pull away to sit back on the couch, only this time with your thighs touching Sandor’s.
“Thank you for telling me. Have you told anyone else about that?” You ask carefully, unsure of how much more he would allow you to pry.
“My shrink,” he admits with another nervous scritch at his beard.
“Oh, that’s great—!” You slap a hand over your mouth, “Sorry, I just meant it’s great you have a therapist. Y’know because a lot of… I had one! I-I’ll just stop talking.”
Sandor eases your tension with a playful eye roll, “Don’t start now, I just got used to your yappin’.”
There’s an awkward but light chuckle shared between the two of you. Slowly you rest your head back against Sandor’s arm, “It’s not a crappy date, by the way. Well? I don’t think so. We never did small talk, it’s about time we told each other our tragic backstories.”
The man hums before lifting his arm to tuck you into his side, silently elated when you fold your legs under your butt and turn your body to lay your head on his chest, “Your turn then?”
“Mine is a lot shorter, it happened when I was still in highschool. Dad told me for weeks to take my car into the shop and I didn’t. It’s stupid looking back, I wish I listened and just did it the first time. Anyways, we argued, finally I said I’d go but he took the keys and said he'd do it himself.. and the brakes gave out on the way. A truck hit him and totaled the car. Mom and I waited in the hospital for hours until he was out of surgery. The doctor said he wouldn’t walk again and I, ugh, I vomited. The whole way up to see dad I was so sure he would say it’s all my fault, or I told you so… He said he was so glad it wasn’t me.”
You didn’t realize you’d been picking at your nails until Sandor’s spare hand came to stop it, gently engulfing your fingers into the warmth of his palm.
“Now you’re scared to drive.”
“Now I’m scared to drive. The whole thing fucked me up. I had a therapist too for a couple years but when I moved here I felt fine enough to stop calling.”
Sandor scoffs out a laugh, “Isn’t that their job to tell ya if you’re fine or not?”
Luckily you’re unphased by his possible insensitivity but do feign annoyance, “I see your point but I got a bunch of tools and exercises for my anxiety, I dealt with my guilt, I just don’t wanna drive. Plus, it’s not like I can never go back or change my mind.” Your eyes dart to where Sandor holds both your hands in one of his, “What about you?”
He shrugs, “I’ll quit when he tells me I’m cured.”
The giggle that bubbles from you is tired but genuine. Isn’t it funny how drained someone can get just from talking?
Sandor smiles though you can’t see, “Alright, killer. Can we get back to your game now?”
“You mean you still want to play after I just ruined our date with it? I thought you would’ve kicked me out by now.”
“Didn’t ruin it,” he squeezes your hands reassuringly.
• After that hiccup, the tension in the air evaporated as your night together went on. Cuddled up on Sandor’s couch, conversation flowed as naturally as it did between you two, what with you doing most of the chatting or asking questions. Occasionally there was a choppy tangent of another intimate detail from one of you but nothing quite as heavy as before
• Odd, Sandor kept thinking to himself. Odd but not so uncomfortable that he wished the couch would swallow him whole so he could get away from the topic. Not just yet was it a welcomed change but he’ll admit it was easier than it ever has been. Still he was careful not to overshare
• Around 9pm your roommate texted and said they were on the way to pick you up. Sandor helped you gather your things and swore for a second time that he wouldn’t open the gift you brought him. He walked you to the door when you spun on your heel to stop him from opening it. He knew that damn expression so well, he groans while you grin like a madman.
“Last question, I promise! What are my odds of getting a second date?”
“Depends… Do ya count a work party as a date?”
You grin, knowing exactly where this is going, “Absolutely I do. Especially if it involves softball and especially, especially if we’re on opposite teams.”

Allergies: Rise! Donnie x Reader
Oops, I think I dropped this. Was a request.
-----------------------------------
Donatello was confused. He knew in his mind that there should be a simple answer, but he couldn't find one. The internet wasn’t helping him, nor were any of Leo’s medical books, and Donnie was starting to get worried. But most of all, he was confused, and Donnie hated being confused. Especially about such a seemingly simple question. Why did he seem to stop functioning whenever Y/n came near him?
Donnie has known Y/n for a couple years now, and they’ve slowly secured their spot in his heart as his best friend. He knows for a fact he’s never felt so weird around them before, he would have avoided you otherwise. Which is what he’s doing now. He could hear their laughter ringing through the lair, obviously finding something one of his brothers said or did funny, and it made him feel weird. A burning sensation seemed to settle in his chest, and Donnie had to remind himself to unclench his jaw. He could tell he was jealous, that was a feeling he was quite familiar with, but he wasn’t too sure of what he was jealous about.
Definitely not of you. He hides away in his lab because he already spends too much time with them. Using the same logic, he shouldn’t be jealous of his brothers either. After all, they spent the majority of their time with him, and probably would be hanging out with him right now, if not for the fact that he sent Y/n away at the door when they first arrived 4 hours ago. Was it mean? Probably. However, it was necessary as it is quite hard for Donnie to work when just looking at them made his stomach tie up in knots and keep his brain from properly functioning.
So jealousy is most definitely one of the emotions he’s feeling right now. Another was frustration, specifically at the fact that he can’t seem to find out what is wrong with him. that was another one Donnie could easily slap a label on. The third emotion however? The third is the mystery emotion, the one that he seems to only feel every time Donnie sees or thinks of Y/n.
Donnie gets knocked off his train of thought when someone busts through his lab's doors. Donnie looks over and groans at the sight of his blue-coded brother. Leonardo sports an obnoxious grin on his face as he waltzes up to where Donnie’s sitting. Donnie turns in his chair, his back to Leo. As much as he hated to admit it, he was still a bit jealous that his brother was hanging out with you.
“Soooooo….” his brother starts, leaning down on the backrest of Donnie’s chair, “why are you avoiding them?”
Ah, getting straight to the point then. How unlike Leo, this must be serious for him. Donnie freezes for a second, wondering how Leonardo figured it out, but quickly regains his composure.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about ‘Nardo.” Ah yes, lying. What a great way to start.
“Oh come on! You don’t really expect me to believe that, do you” Leo exclaims as he throws his hands in the air. Donnie sighs and turns his chair around so he’s facing his brother.
“You should believe it, it’s the truth! I have no idea what you're talking about. The only person I ever try to avoid is you, but that never works out, otherwise you’d be somewhere else, and I'd be left in peace.” Donnie says, glaring up at his brother. Did he just spit out a bunch of lies? Yes. Did he care? no.
Leo rolls his eyes at him, looking around for a place to sit so he could properly scold his self-proclaimed twin. Leo takes great care in exaggerating his movements as he brushes a bunch of Donnie papers and stationary out of the way, making Donnie twitch in anger. As much as he would love to strangle his brother, Donnie knew Splinter would be disappointed if he did.
Leo dons a smug grin as he sits on the desk, swinging his legs back and forth as he leans back.
“As much as your words wound me hermano, I still don’t believe you. You, my good sir, are avoiding Y/n-”
“I am not! How dare you even insinuate that! They’re my best friend, why would I ever avoid them!” Donnie says, more lies tumbling out of his mouth as he tries to save his precious ego. He knows he’s been caught, but he wonders why Leo cares so much as to confront him.
“Don’t interrupt me, especially when we both know I’m right. You’re avoiding Y/n, and it’s making them upset-”
“They’re upset?” Donnie interrupts again, his voice quieter now. Donnie feels sick now. He hadn’t meant to make them feel upset. He just wanted to fix himself so he could hang out with you normally again. He never wanted to hurt you. Maybe if he just asked for your help, you’d know what was going on? Leo looked at his brother, noting his downcast eyes and the way he paled at the revelation of Y/n’s inner turmoil at Donnie’s avoidance.
“Well if you’d quit interrupting me, I'd explain. After you sent them away, very rudely I might add, they came over to play some video games with me and Mikey. They told us how you told them to buzz off, and asked us if you were mad at them. Gosh Donnie, you made one of the only humans who likes us think you hate them. I came here as soon as they left!” Leo took a deep breath before continuing, calming himself down a bit.
“So yeah, I wanna know. Why are you being such a jerk and avoiding Y/n.” Leo’s eyes bore into Donnie’s at the question, and Donnie genuinely wonders for a second if he manifested the ability to read minds along with his teleportation.
Donnie takes a deep breath at his brother's words, his eyes looking anywhere but Leo’s. He leans back in his chair, trying to figure out the best way to explain to his brother the problem he's recently been plagued with.
“I think I’m allergic to Y/n” Donnie mutters finally. After hearing nothing in reply, he peaks up at his brother, only to be met with a completely dumbfounded expression gracing the slider's face.
“You think you’re WHAT? Wha-? how did you-? Why did you come to that conclusion!?” Leo sputters out in utter shock, not believing what he heard. Donnie’s face hardens as he scowls
“Oh please, you’re not the one who has to deal with brain malfunctions every time they come near you! I can barely say a word to them anymore without looking like a complete idiot! Plus my body temperature rises, my mouth dries up, and my chest starts to feel tight! I can’t live like this!” Donnie’s voice starts to rise as he speaks, his breathing becoming more heavy and ragged, his throat starting to close up as he gets more and more heated. What Donnie wasn’t expecting to hear in reply to his almost breakdown was laughter. Donatello’s face morphs into one of offense and distaste, his eyes growing cold as he looks at his laughing brother with a scowl.
Donnie can feel his muscles tightening, and he vaguely notices his now white knuckles as he clenches his hand into a fist. It was taking just about everything in him to not punch his brother right then and there.
“Get out.” Donnie’s voice was quiet, but firm. His jaw tensing as he crosses his arms, no longer in the mood to talk to his brother about his problems. He can figure this out on his own, he always does. If worse comes to worse, he can always ask April.
Leo calms down his laughter at that, smiley dopily at his brother, his eyes clouded with confusion.
“What?” Leo still holds a smile on his face, although it has definitely shrunk. He tilts his head a little, trying to study the softshell’s steely face.
“I said, get out. I don’t want to talk to someone who’s just going to laugh at my problems Leonardo. Honestly, I really didn't want to talk to you in the first place.” Donnie stares at his brother impassively. Leo’s smile fully drops now, understanding how his actions just closed his brother off even more.
“I’m sorry I-”
“Are you not listening to me! I said GET OUT!” His voice being strangled by the evident hurt in his heart. Donnie sends one last glare to his brother before spinning his chair around and pulling his chest firmly to his desk, caging himself in to hide his shaking body from Leo.
Leo’s gapes at his brother, mouth opening and closing as he tries to find the right words to say. Leo sighs, his hand running over his face. He didn’t mean to laugh, he didn’t, but it was just too absurd. I mean, Donnie not knowing what a crush was? Really? The only thing Leo really could do was laugh.
“I, uhm, I’m sorry. It caught me off guard.” Leo glanced at the chair his brother was residing in, the unbearing silence seemed to be an invitation to continue. “I mean, it was just so unbelievable to me that I didn’t know what to do. You’re the smart guy, the one who knows everything, so I kinda just assumed you were kidding.”
Leo notes his brother's continued stillness, and wonders if he can even hear him.
“You have a crush Donnie. You’re not allergic to Y/n, you just, y’know, like them.”
Oh.
Oh.
Donnie swivels his chair so he wasn’t facing Leo, but wasn’t completely blocking him off anymore either. His mind races with scenarios, trying to figure out if his brother's words hold some truth. He’s wrong, right? Donnie can’t have a crush on Y/n, their his best friend! It’d ruin your whole vibe together! Right? Donatello can’t deny that it did make sense, his whole “sickness” towards them matched a lot of the symptoms a crush causes. He just can’t believe he never noticed it.
Donnie notices his brother's tense posture, watching as he fiddles with his fingers and picks at his cuticles. Donnie stands up and starts to walk over to him, Leo’s eyes snapping up to watch him. Leo’s eyes dart back and forth between Donnie and the door, and Donnie could tell he wanted to make a run for it. Leo gave Donnie a nervous smile, putting his hand on the back of his neck.
“I really thought you were joking, sorry.” Leo mumbles, wincing slightly at his brother's stoic expression. Donnie sighs, and leans against the desk Leo’s sitting on.
“No, you’re fine. I would’ve laughed at you too.”
The turtle twins both just bask in awkward silence for a bit, neither wanting to break it in case the tension they can both feel so heavily snaps.
“Soooo, we can both agree that you’re not allergic to Y/n now, right?” Leo glances over at Donnie, who’s now looking back at him with a very annoyed expression. Donnie blows out a huff of air before nodding his head.
“Yeah, definitely not allergic.”

Oooo you’ve been busy today! I adore your fics, especially the desperate buildups. Could you maybe write a guy who’s just mortified by his big sneezes and he’s trying so hard to hold back and muffle the force and finally he can’t hold back any longer and he’s super embarrassed?
Thank you!! And hmmmm… right now I’m only doing shorter fic-lets and image posts but let me see if I can fit that scenario into an image post…
“Oh.” I said, stumbling in on him as he quickly grabbed the hat out of his hand to hold in front of his, ahem, private parts. “I’m so sorry, I’ll go I just…“ I spun on my heel once to leave and then, remembering this was, after all, my house that my (very attractive) acquaintance was naked in, while the rest of the guests were out enjoying the pool and the garden, I spun back on my heel again to ask, “wait but uh… what are you… why are you…”
“Oh my god I’m so sorry!” He exclaimed, eyes almost shining—had he been crying? “I just… I had to get in-inside, um… them tr-trees you got out there… uh… snf!” He spoke haltingly, a smooth Southern accent creeping into his tone. I knew he was from the South, somewhere pretty country if memory served but I’d never heard his accent come out so strongly before. They’re p-pollinating and it was startin’ to set off my a-aller…” he stopped at that word, and his hand flew up to his nose… the hand that just so happened to be holding his cowboy hat. Now he stood, fully exposed, obviously mortified and yet… he didn’t seem focused on his (generous) exposure at all. He seemed focused on his… nose?
“Oh god… n-not now… d-don’t embarrass me like this!” He cursed at… himself?
“Wait, who’s embarrassing… what?”
He tried to answer my question, though his attention seemed torn, “No it’s just… my allergies… thahhhh… that tree I… and I was c-covered in the pollen and I’ve been h-holding back this whole party and you’re so cute I didn’t want to leehhhh… leeeahhHHHHH… l-leave…”
Wait? I was… what? And he was… what? And why was there suddenly a breeze indoors…? Had I left the patio doors open or…?
He scrubbed viciously at his nose, pinched it and rubbed it, muttering under his breath, like he was pleading with it. “Cmon… cmon… I took my clothes off, the pollen’s not on me, why’re you still d-doing thiihhh… fuck… t-tickles so bahhh… bad…” After a moment he seemed to hold his breath and then his countenance cleared, his face, previously an itchy rictus of sternutatory urge smoothed.
“I’m sorry I… I gotta get outta here, it was just… that pollen was gettin’ to me so bad and I started to give in and I barely managed to stifle it back and I was still so damn loud, nearly blew my face off…”
Wait was that… was that explosion-like sound that had prompted me to come back into the house… was that…
“That was a sneeze?!”
“Aw, fuck, p-please d-don’t… d-don’t say it, just makes me h-hafta… haftaaaaahhHHHHH… hhhooohboy… g-gonna… gonna be a d-doozy…” Again, his eyes—wet, I realized, with allergic rather than emotional tears—began to drift closed, his nose bucking like a bronco as he tried to wrestle it down with both hands now, naked in my kitchen in what seemed to be a life or death struggle not to… sneeze?
“But what’s the big deal about sneezing I don’t understand—“
“You don’t underst-stand! L-look I gotta get outta here, do you have some c-clothes I wear, a c-coat, anything, mine were just c-covered in that danged p-pollen and I… I don’t think… I c-can’t hold it b-back much longer…!”
“I mean I can get you a coat but you know you can sneeze in my house… it’s not a big deal…”
“Please! Just help me gehhhhh… get outta h-hehhHHHH… outta here I… I can’t… oh god…”
I was confused as hell but he was so insistent I did as I was asked, hurrying to the coat closet, brushing against him—I wasn’t trying to cop a feel, I swear!—as I hurried to the closet. But just as I went past him…
“Oh no… oh no! You’re c-cuhhhHHHH… c-covered in it… I can’t… I c-caaaahHHHHHHHHH… I…” His brows were desperately knotted, his whole face seemingly opening and going back and back and back even as his head went back and back and his shoulders seemed to expand and his chest seemed to expand and then… a picture was pulled from the wall, a chair toppled and I realized—oh shit.
I turned on my heel for the third time. He was clearly about to give in and if this sneeze was going to be as big a deal as he was making it out to be, he definitely couldn’t sneeze the way he was pointing now, out towards the party full of people and the glass windows that would surely shatter. But if he spun around at this point he’d blast me point blank. So I had to get in front of him, spin him around…
“Okay buddy, just give me a few more seconds on that… whatever’s happening.”
“I ggaaaaaAAAAAHHHHHHHH… I g-GOTTA! HhehehHHHHHHHH… HHEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH…”
I managed to race back around, get him pointed the right way—albeit towards the rest of my house, which if the breeze so far was any indication would need some major renovations when this was said and done—and knowing that being so close to my pollen-dusted clothes couldn’t be helping him, I told him to let go.
“It’s okay man, let it go. Fire at will!” I joked, doing my best to make light of an unexpectedly dramatic situation. And fire he did.
“HHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCCCCCHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
He exploded. Like a bomb, like a volcano, like a… like a wind volcano bomb hurricane thing, it was ridiculous, it blasted through my house, exploded the front door right off its hinges, sent photos and decorations and furniture flying. I was glad the house was built so sturdy, or I’d be worried for the structural integrity of the whole building. Eventually the eruption died down. And as he sat there panting, I figured I’d better get this very attractive, very naked man somewhere where the attention he’d just drawn to himself would be less mortifying.
I quickly shucked my own clothes down to my undergarments as I herded him into my bedroom, which was miraculously intact, aside from a few holes in the drywall that must’ve been caused by just the backdraft of his eruption. And all the while he was ceaselessly, miserably, desperately apologizing.
“Oh god… oh god… oh god ‘m so sorry, I woulda never come if I’d known I’da got set off like that, oh please forgive me, I tried so hard.”
At last I got him into my bedroom, hoping that as few people as possible saw us both shuffling off half naked.
“Hey dude, dude it’s okay, whatever that was I don’t think you could control it. I’m pretty sure I’m insured for freak weather events and acts of god and whatever I just saw it was one or the other so…”
He was standing there, crying, tears leaking down his face—now definitely of the emotional variety. I sat him down on my bed, and wrapped an arm around him—as much as I could, his frame was massive.
“Damn allergies, I just can’t… I can’t control ‘em, I always try but my nose…!”
“Aw, there there.” Was all I could say, or at least all I should say, but my mouth proved as uncontrollable as his nose, “listen I don’t love the circumstances but anything that involves a beautiful naked man in my bedroom can’t be all ba—“ I squeaked as my brain caught up to my mouth, but maybe it was the right thing to say after all, as he chuckled softly.
“I uh… I can’t say I didn’t have a little hope for a situation like this myself just… without my damn nose ruining everything again. I’m so sorry, anything I can do to help put things right it’s just… my whole family’s like this nobody knows why it’s this damn cursed sneezin’ and I got it worst of all but I’m still the dummy who said I had to go into the city, live a life, not let myself be defined by my sneezes. Now look. I shoulda just stayed out on the farm where all I could hurt was the trees.”
“Hey, we’ll figure it out, okay? Speaking of which… no tickle left in that nose of yours, is there? No more gunpowder to set off the cannon?”
He sniffed experimentally. “I think I’m good. At least for now. I can’t go back out there though, not after what I did, and that tree…”
“You just stay here. I think the party’s over—and that’s fine,” I hastened to add, as he looked stricken and miserable again. “I’ll start looking at cleanup, get everybody out… feel free to grab some clothes out of the closet over there, unless you just wanna stay how you are, I gotta be honest I have no complaints about that… sorry, sorry forget I said that wow look at me babbling… anyway uh… clothes.” I said, ineffectually pointing towards the closet. “I‘ll just be going!” I said, looking anywhere but at him, after I’d embarrassed myself so absolutely. But I couldn’t help but turn around and take one last look…
And I was surprised to see him smiling. “You’re funny. And I meant what I said; you’re very cute. And you’ve been… ridiculously nice about this, I mean I just blew up half your house, I’m sure you’ll hate me once you come to your senses I—“
“Hey! Enough of that!” I said, “one thing you’ll quickly learn about me, I never come to my senses. And like I said, you couldn’t control it. And you clearly tried your best.” I surprised even myself with how cool I was about the whole situation. I mean it was gonna be a huge headache eventually but… for the moment I didn’t mind. “Now, clothes for you, guests for me.” I said with a smile, finally heading towards the door.
And then I froze. And spun on my heel one last time. “But wait! Stay far far FAR away from the fragrance drawer!”
I was rewarded with a watery chuckle. “Will do, absolutely will do.”

A broken tether, A new path forged.
For: @q-gorgeous @tourettesdog @kawaiijohn @lovelyunknown @modordracena
Summary: Jack and Maddie discover their mistakes regarding their son and need to make it right. Also on AO3: A broken tether, A new path forged.
Danny sneezed. He didn't know why; it was mid-spring. So, must it be allergies? But was it, though? He shrugged it off. He was glad to be enjoying his time with Sam and Tuck. Ghost sightings had been at an all-time low. Zero. Even the lower ghostly fauna, like blobs and spites, have been strangely absent. He knows he should be worried, but it's honestly pretty nice. This afternoon was in the low seventies. He kicked a rock down the road. He, Sam and Tucker were on the way from the local bowling alley.
Danny tuned back into their light-hearted conversation. His friends were laughing at a joke he’d missed. But he chuckled as well, not wanting to be left out. Sam smiled.
“I don’t get it, Danny. How is your aim with a bowling ball soo baaad.” Tuck teased. He scoffed, but Tucker continued, “I mean, you have perfectly good aim as Phantom. How does a bowling ball change things?” Danny kicked the rock with a little more force down the road. Danny shot Him an incredulous stare.
“You’re one to talk. Mister gutter balls. At least my rolls actually hit some pins.” Danny teased in turn. “And I have to pull my throws. It’s hard to gauge sometimes.” He grumbled under his breath. Tucker conceded, then turned to Sam, who was smirking at their exchange.
“Why are you so good at like every sport ever!” Tucker whined. Sam closed the distance. Sam laughed.
“You could be too, if you too if you didn’t have this aversion to touching grass.” Her tone was pretty condescending. Danny shoved his hands in his pockets.
He turned to them and cut in. “If you could be one of my rouge galleries for a day, who would it be and why?” Danny had succeeded because his friends’ argument ceased as they both contemplated.
“Technus, the way can manipulate tech is sick. It’s honestly wasted on him, with how he uses flawed software. His hardware is top-notch.” Tuck pumps his arm for emphasis.
“Hey, how do you think Technus could actually build or design hardware without possessing some base machine first? Like building something from scratch?” Danny thinks he’s only seen the tech ghost possess and modify. Was it just an innate thing? Or actual understanding?
Danny’s thoughts were cut off when he was hit with a strong sense of wrongness. He felt phantom hands brush along his limbs. Someone was touching him.
His tether.
They were moving him.
Defiling him.
Sam grabbed Danny’s shoulder. He barely felt it. His breaths were coming in greedy gulps now.
“Danny, what’s wrong?”
“So- Some-one’s found it. I need- ” Danny trailed off in heavy gasps. He broke out of Sam’s grasp. Danny stumbled down the sidewalk a few paces. Then he remember it he could shift.
He did, and God, it was soo much worse. Everywhere! It was fucking everywhere! He could feel it with his whole being. Their fucking hands! They were rubbing something all over him. It was also appearing on his skin, red and sticky.
It fucking burned!
He shot off in the direction his core was urging him to go with increasing franticness.
Earlier that day at Fenton Works.
Maddie was finishing folding and putting away clothes. She and Jack’s latest efforts to keep ghosts out of Amity had been working. They had been planting Sanguinem Germinabunt, more commonly knowns as Blood Blossoms. More so around their house because it housed the portal, and other places the ghosts most frequented.
Maddie wasn’t stupid she knew their anti-ecto blast doors weren’t perfect. No matter what changes they made, ghosts always slipped through. Though the blossoms seem to be the most effective method so far. They had seen neither hides nor hairs of any ghost, especially that dratted Phantom.
She put more socks in his drawer. Danny had been short of breath and sneezing quite a lot. She should book an appointment. That’s when she saw a small composition notebook, well worn. It looked like a diary of sorts. Curious, flipped it open. She immediately felt guilty and closed it again. But, this might give her a glimpse at what’s been wrong with Danny.
They’d been so close. It was only about 18 months that the changes presented themselves. No, she needed to do this! She flipped it open.
And started reading.
Maddie sat on the edge of her late son’s bed, shell-shocked.
That’s how her husband, Jack found her. He asked what’s her what was the matter, and she wordlessly handed him the notebook. He took it from her and began reading. He sat down next to her.
A tear rolled down Jack’s cheek. He hugged Maddie for comfort. Maddie broke down and cried in his shoulder.
They sat like that for a while. The silence was thick in the air.
Jack gently uncoupled from Maddie. He stood up. “Madds, we gotta make this right.” Maddie looked up at him, her face completely desolate.
“Too little too late, Jack.” Maddie’s voice was strained with the effort of holding off more ugly sobs.
Jack left her to retrieve something from the storage room just down the hall. She guessed this based on the rustling.
Her husband soon returned with one of his ancestors, much like the one detailing blood blossom use and cultivation.
Jack quickly started flipping to an entry he obviously remembers from a prior reading.
How to set a ghost free. A permanent exorcism. They knew the rough location. Now they just need to prepare.
Maddie would give her boy a proper send-off.
“It should be right around here,” Maddie grunted as she hacked through the foliage. They had to abandon the GAV to continue on foot. This neck of the woods was too tight for it. Jack was carrying most of the supplies they’d need.
They finally got to the edge of a clearing. It was just like the journal description. There at the other end, was the large oak tree. At the base was a large patch of grave bloom hugging its shade. A flower that only grows near corpses as they emit ecto-radiation as the body breaks down.
It was still an abnormally large patch. More akin to a mass grave than the single one they know is there.
“Jack fluid, I think we found it.” Jack unhooked the canister of fluid and began dousing the patch. It was a concoction that leached ectoplasm from the grave blooms and the ground purifying the area. The delicate blooms quickly wilted and blackened. That was the first step.
Once the ectoplasm had been thoroughly cleaned, it was time to start digging. It didn’t take long. Maddie saw the melted glove first. She chokes at the sight and backs up into who catches her as her knees give out.
“I guess I was holding out some hope. But seeing it now…” She breaks down in a fit of sobs again. Jack sets them both and gives Maddie a few minutes.
“Come on, we need to finish this.” He helps her up to her feet.
Soon they unearth the rest of him.
The body was very well preserved despite the damage from the cause of death. Most of the skin was charred black. There were green Lichtenberg figures all over the corpse, even after all this time, still positively radiating ecto energy, looking recent. It explained that large patch of grave blooms.
They set him down and prepare the paste. It was a special blood blossom mixture, highly flammable. They soon coated the body with the blood blossom paste. It was meant to weaken the ghost’s foothold over the corpse.
Now it was time for the final step.
That’s when they feel static and cold. Phantom arrived. Their son’s remnant. But he was wrong. His eyes were solid green. His skin and suit were fracturing. He was covered in the paste as well, a red vapour wafting off of him.
“What the fuck did you do to my body?!” The scream was layered with shifting, creaking, groaning, and shattering ice.
A tear rolled down Maddie’s cheek as she dropped the lit match.
Danny saw as the match landed on his corpse. He could do nothing as it ignited. It burned hot with a blue flame. He felt his outer shell fracture further before mimicking his body by erupting into a ghostly green fire.
He was too weak to fly, let alone walk, so he crawled. He needed… need to get… to get to his body.
He crawled at an agonizingly slow pace. He didn’t know why.
Danny couldn’t move. He had too little energy. Even just simply existing now was taxing.
Crack
He whimpered and keened it was all too much. His mom walked over and gather him up in her lap. He renewed weakened struggles trying to get away, back to his body. He needed… needed-
Dark started to encroach on the edges of his vision. He felt his mom cart her finger through his hair like when he was small. It was comforting. But there was something he needed to do, right? He thinks it was important. Why had he been so angry before?
He was scared, confused, and in so much pain. Why was Mom’s smile so soft? His Dad sat beside him, squeezing his hand.
The pain was fading. He was pretty sure that was probably a bad thing.
“It’s all right, Danny-boy. Now you can find peace now.” His Dad’s voice was unnaturally quiet, it carried a soft, sombre quality to it.
“We’re so sorry we hadn’t noticed the extent of your suffering sooner.” Mom choked on the start of more sobs. “Oh God, we did this to you! Our invention did this!”
Dad wrapped his arm around Mom, holding her and Danny closer to himself. He didn’t understand. What was going on?
“But we’re making it right now.” Danny tried to ask what was happening, but his voice was too weak, and they couldn’t pick up what he said.
Mom shushed him, “It will be all over soon.” It clicked into place slower than he wanted, the thick brain fog nearly stopping his thoughts.
He was dying.
For real this time.
Crack
His vision faded, but he could still hear and feel his parents. This was not what he expected when they found out. At least this was a mostly peaceful end. He was not fading on an exam table. He saw no hatred in their eyes before his vision left him. They loved him. He smiled.
Crack
Another crack filled with love.
There was an odd tingling warmth that was comfy. But it was fading like the rest of his senses. Danny was really tired. Maybe, he’d take a nice nap. Yeah, one of those sounded nice.
Danny’s core soon couldn’t support the ectoplasmic matrix it was housed in. Danny was losing the feeling of his parents, but he knew they were still there. It started with his fingers and toes working up to his wrists and ankles. It accelerated once it passed his elbows and knees. Soon he was nothing but his core, tiny and fragile.
Then there was the final crack, and with it, the tether snapped.
The elder Fenton’s sat and held each other. They had done it. Their boy was now at peace. The clearing was mostly intact, sans the scorched and overturned soil.
Maddie had taken it upon herself to plant more blood blossoms to leach any remaining ectoplasm from the soil.
They gathered Danny’s ashes and the dust of his crystallized matrix, placing it in a nice urn they’d gotten on the way here. Black with silver etching. Simple and elegant. The two parents left the former grave site of their son with no fanfare.
They had to get their story straight. There were funeral arrangements to be set. Now Danny would get the funeral he deserved. No longer a tortured soul left to linger. He was at peace at least they could give him this final kindness.
He groans, he tried to hang on to the last dregs of unconsciousness. But it’s futile. He cracks one eye open. All he was met with were green swirls and floating purple doors.
Where was this? Who was he? He hyperventilated. What was his name?! He didn’t know own his name!
“Your name is Janus.” Janus? whirled around. There was a strange new blue-skinned ghost in purple hooded purple robes.
“That’s my name? I know you?” Janus (?) took a hesitant step toward the ghost. The ghost nodded.
“Yes, quite. I am Clockwork, Elder Spirit of time. And you, young Janus, are my charge, the current Spirit of Space. You and I will be working together for the foreseeable future.” They smiled warmly, and it was familiar. Janus approached Clockwork less apprehensive. Now that he had a name for both the ghost and for himself.
Janus felt it in his core, it told him the ghost was honest. This ghost was family, his parent.
He winced.
“Why does my core hurt so much?” Janus rubbed at his sternum.
Clockworks hummed, “A tether violently shredded, a core shattered. It left its mark, leaving you as you are now. Fractured, a blank slate.” Clockwork held out their hand. “You need rest, then you must train. Come.”
Janus frowned as Clockwork didn’t elaborate. He took Clockwork’s hand anyway. Janus felt something slot into place in his core.
His body shifted and changed, endless boneless limbs spouted and sinking. Heads countless with everchanging features rolled in and out of the galaxies dancing across his inky skin. Countless eyes blinked all around his form, swimming soothingly along the constantly altering maws along his skin.
Janus felt the loving ticks of his father ripple through his liquid from the contact.
He was beautiful, perfect.
Right.
He trusted and loved Clockwork with everything he was. What came before didn’t matter. All that mattered was the path he and his father forged forward.

I've been feeling kind of sleepy and fatigued for like two weeks so I made up a fictional guy to fix that. He's a master handyman and he takes you apart piece-by-piece and cleans each piece individually and puts you back together.
The guy is a middle-aged gnome which makes him about 2750 years old. He built his first birdhouse at age 12 and has been working on projects ever since. He lives on a mountain which he made himself. As you hike up the mountain you pass by all the numerous projects he's worked on which lets you know just how good of a handyman he is - birdhouses, coffee tables, refurbished cabinets, outdoor fountains, upholstery refurbishing, gazebos, patios, roofing, antique car restorations, etcetera. If it can be assembled, modified, or built, he has done it, and you get to see how masterfully he did it as you walk up the mountain.
At the top of the mountain is his sprawling garden made of raised-bed planters, with a fully automated watering system. This garden surrounds his garage workshop. If you get in there, and you ask for him to do the cleaning-out thing, then he'll give you a special tea made with herbs from his garden, which will lull you into a deep, restful sleep. While you're asleep, he will use his master handyman knowledge to pull your body apart into little bits like a LEGO structure. He'll lovingly and individually scrub each bone, muscle, and fiber in your body with a very soft brush and a warm soapy solution, then rinse it off and dry it with a warm fluffy towel. He'll siphon all of your fluids into individual jars and run them through several types of filtration to remove any nasty gunk you don't want. And then he'll re-assemble you and stitch you back together with stitching so fine that you would barely notice it with even the most powerful microscope.
And then you wake up and you feel totally refreshed, and all your fatigue is gone, and any sickness you had before is gone, and your back pain is gone, and your nose isn't stuffy from allergies anymore. And the world seems especially brighter thru your freshly-cleaned eyeballs, and the grass feels especially soft under your freshly-refurbished feet, and your fundamental appearance hasn't changed but for some reason in the mirror and to others you look especially nice. Like how an old piece of wooden furniture looks better with a fresh coat of lacquer.
#my writing#long post#my musings#gnomes#fantasy#fantasy writing#short story#inspired a little bit by a post I saw on tumblr a while back which I can't find now about getting taken apart and put back together

5 Signs It’s Time to Consult a Dermatologist
Taking care of your skin should be a priority, but it’s easy to brush off minor issues and hope they disappear on their own. Your skin is something that you should feel absolutely comfortable in, but if dermatological problems persist, or worse, escalate, it’s time to consult a dermatologist in New Canaan. Whether it’s just acne, or you are noticing severe pigmentation, here are five telltale signs that it’s time to book an appointment with a skin expert.
#1 Persistent Acne that Won’t Budge
Let’s admit it: we have all experienced a pimple or two. However, if you are battling chronic breakouts that seem to be immune to over-the-counter remedies, it’s a sign something more might be at play. Stubborn acne, especially the kind that leaves scars or causes redness, might indicate underlying issues like hormonal imbalances or bacterial infections.
Dermatologists can prescribe stronger medications and provide treatments such as chemical peels or laser therapy to help you regain control over your skin. In fact, if your bathroom shelf looks like a skincare aisle, and you are still struggling, it’s time to let a professional specializing in Darien dermatology guide you through a personalized treatment plan.
#2 Moles are Changing Shape or Color
Moles are quite common, but if you see a mole growing, rush right away to see a skin cancer doctor in New Canaan. Look for moles that have irregular borders, a mix of colors, or are larger than a pencil eraser. Dermatologists can examine suspicious moles using specialized tools and may recommend a biopsy to rule out serious conditions. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, so don’t wait if you notice something unusual.
#3 Unexplained Rashes or Skin Irritations
Rashes can develop from allergies, reactions to new products, or stress. But, if you see persistent or spreading rashes on your skin, they are a whole new story. If you are dealing with redness, itching, or swelling that doesn’t subside, it might be due to conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. These conditions often require prescription medications and tailored treatment regimens that a dermatologist can provide. It’s tempting to self-diagnose with the help of the internet, but skin conditions are often more complex than they appear. So, it’s better to consult a dermatologist who can pinpoint the cause and offer custom treatment.
#4 Hair Loss or Scalp Issues
Hair thinning, bald spots, or unexplained scalp irritations? These aren’t just cosmetic concerns—they can point to underlying health issues like alopecia, thyroid problems, or fungal infections. Hair loss can be distressing, but dermatologists can identify the root cause and suggest treatments such as topical medications, oral prescriptions, or even hair restoration procedures. If you have noticed more hair in your brush or on your pillow, consulting a dermatologist sooner rather than later can help you avoid long-term damage.
#5 Persistent Dry Patches or Skin Discoloration
Do you have patches of skin that are rough, flaky, or discolored no matter how much you moisturize? Chronic dry skin can be a symptom of deeper issues like psoriasis, fungal infections, or even vitamin deficiencies. Similarly, unexplained dark spots or patches of lighter skin may point to conditions like melasma or vitiligo.
Conclusion
Whether it’s adult acne that you are struggling with, or you need the aid of a professional for pediatric dermatology in New Canaan, if you are looking for seasoned physicians who specialize in dealing with skin problems, reach out to our team at Elite Dermatology today!

ITCHY PET SKIN PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Itching is one of the most visible indications of a skin problem in your pets, but without a complete veterinary check, it's impossible to tell exactly what's bothering your dog. While it is natural for a dog to itch from time to time, just as a person may scratch their skin from time to time, frequent or chronic scratching is a warning indication of something more severe going on. Pets that scratch the affected region with their paws or brush their heads against an item might ease the itch. You could also see your dog licking their paws or other parts of their body to relieve sore skin. Check your pet on a regular basis for any of these signs and make a note of any reactions your dog has. You may notice that your pet itches more frequently after meals, during certain seasons, or after you've done any cleaning, all of which might suggest an underlying skin allergy or atopic dermatitis. The more information you can provide, the more likely your veterinarian will be able to make an accurate and thorough allergy or skin infection diagnosis.
TYPES OF PETS SKIN CONDITION:
1. ENVIRONMENTAL ALLERGIES:

A rapid start of itching, especially to the face, feet, chest, and stomach, may suggest an environmental allergy, which is triggered when your dog comes into touch with the source of discomfort. This type of allergy in pets is known as 'atopy,' and it is similar to hay fever in humans, except that pets exhibit it by having irritated, itchy skin rather than watery eyes and sneezing. Grass, dust mites, and pollen are some of the most frequent allergens for pets. Environmental allergies can be difficult to treat at times, necessitating the use of shampoos, pills, and injections in the most severe cases.
2. FOOD ALLERGIES:

Increased itching, particularly of the face, paws, ears, and anus, are symptoms of a possible pet food allergy. Food allergies in pets can be caused by the kind of protein ingested as part of their diet, such as beef, eggs, poultry, and dairy, however some pets can have allergies to wheat or even vegetables. Pets with food intolerances, like people, must go on an elimination diet for 8-12 weeks to rule out other sources of the allergy. Your veterinarian will walk you through each stage of this therapy and how to effectively carry it out. It is critical that you do not give any of the suspected allergens to your pet throughout the elimination procedure in order to obtain a clear result and guarantee your doctor can recommend a treatment plan that is right for your pets.
3. FOLLICULITIS:

Folliculitis, which means inflamed hair follicles, is common in dogs that have another skin disease, such as mange or allergies, since the hair follicles become infected by the underlying skin illness. It manifests itself on the body as sores, lumps, and scabs on the skin. A veterinarian will prescribe shampoos, oral medicines, and antibacterial ointments to help treat and calm the illness.
4. RINGWORM:
Pic Credit: DOGLY MAIL
Despite its name, ringworm is a fungus that is highly infectious to both animals and people. The fungal illness manifests as round, crusty bald spots on a dog's head, paws, ears, and front legs. Your dog's skin may also seem swollen and red where they have scratched and irritated the region. If you see any indications of discomfort, call your veterinarian immediately so that he or she may prescribe a topical medication to destroy the fungus and prevent it from spreading.
TICK AND FLEAS:

Ticks and fleas irritate your pet's skin by biting and sucking blood from them. Flea saliva penetrates the body and can create an allergic reaction, irritating your pet's skin and causing them to itch excessively. Serious parasite allergies include inflamed, red skin, frequent scratching, and dogs chewing at their hair to relieve irritation. In harsh weather, their fur may come off in sections. Fleas are microscopic parasites that may live in our carpets and bedding, which is why it's critical to vacuum on a regular basis, wash your pet's bed, and make sure they're up to date on their prophylactic medications to kill any bugs.
DANDRUFF:

Pets can have dandruff or 'scruff' and dry skin; this might be an indication of an underlying issue, such as an infection. Some dogs are prone to dry skin, particularly in the winter, and this may be influenced by their food; high-quality protein sources, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and other nutrients may all help maintain the coat healthy. Simple instances of dandruff are usually treatable with shampoos, but the vet will want to be sure there is nothing more going on. For better skin you can use these products as solution for your healthy pet’s skin
OUT NATURAL FLEA AND TICK SPRAY FOR PETS:

Out natural flea and tick repellent spray repels mosquitoes while killing fleas, flea eggs, and ticks. Spraying it on beds, pillows, blankets, carpets, rugs, curtains, and worktops is safe. It is made with natural plant extracts to keep your pet safe. Out Natural Flea & Tick Spray for Pets is scientifically proved efficient against pests yet mild enough to use around the entire family, whether you are dealing with an active infestation or using for routine prevention.
