Iâve never actually said (written???) this to anyone before but I need to say it. I need to get it out there.
Iâm a slut for the idea of somnophilia with Ace. I feel like thatâs a fairly common thing (or at least, Iâve seen it a few times?), but Iâve never actually admitted it. I wanna wake him up by sucking on his cock until he comes to and starts face fucking me and calling me his good girl, or riding him until he comes deep inside and I only realize heâs awake when he starts talking about how pretty I look rocking on his dick. I want him to get me even closer to coming myself with his morning voice alone because you know itâs damn good. Just. Hnnngh. I want iiittt.
*reaches for my vibrator*
what a lovely picture you have painted for me. like if ace told you he's really into it, you'd have absolutely noooo problem meeting that need. i'm sure he'd love it. also holy shit I love anything that entails the phrase âgood girl." anyways, i came up with around ~1k words based on your prompt, but i'm not sure it is as good as what you came up with! check it out under the cut (â§âĄâŚ) i'll edit this more tomorrow!
**but first, a note! i am here for the somnophilia as long as there's established consent beforehand and DUHHHH ik that's implied but perhaps i ought to state that! so, let that previously established consent stand for the smut below! also, you mentioned that somno is common, and i would like to confirm that, at least in my personal experience, many men eat that shit up. so⌠feel no shame in admitting that, anon, because its very real and iconic of u to like the idea. đ

(if i do say so myself LOL)
Ace + Somnophilia
It was around 5AM and you couldnât sleep. Ace took up the entire bed, starfishing it while you were curled up next to him, cheek resting on his chest. Considering the fact that youâd just woken up from a steamy dream, there was one thing on your mind. Heat was blooming at your core and you could feel wetness pooling between your legs already. There was only one solution, which happened to be one of Aceâs favorite things.
You crept your hand towards the bulge in Aceâs boxer briefs and ran a palm over it. He was such a heavy sleeper that it didnât register. His deep breaths continued, quiet and comforting. You continued to pass your hand over his cock, massaging his balls briefly through the fabric and grinding your palm down. He got hard so fast, but his breathing didnât change at allâhe was sound asleep.
Sitting up slowly, you scooted off the bed so that you could walk around and climb back up, this time positioned between his knees. You knew that one of his favorite things was to wake up with his cock in your mouthâand what a perfect time for it, since you couldnât sleep. On your knees between his wide-spread thighs, you tugged at the waistband of his boxers until they were low enough to give you access to his cock. It was large and veiny. In the muted morning light trickling in through the half-covered window, you could see just enough to tell that his tip was already pink and enflamed.
You were careful not to wake him as you grasped his shaft and stoked it lazily a couple of times. You licked a long, wet stripe from base to tip and repeated the motion until you started to taste milky white pearls of precum seeping from him.
He was still asleep.
After a few minutes of slowly licking his shaft and sucking the precum from his slit, you reached a hand up to softly cradle his balls. At the same time, you finally took his whole length into your mouth. You could feel and taste his precum at the back of your tongue as you sucked your cheeks in and started to bob up and down on his cock.
You sucked him off for a few minutes, alternating between cradling his balls with one hand and dragging your fingers over his shaft with the other. You were getting lost in it, so focused on the process of sucking him off that you didnât realize when his hands tangled in your hair and pushed your head down. He bucked his hips up at the same time, making you gag on his length as it poked the back of your throat. He held you like that for a second, taking in the warm, slippery feeling of his cock throbbing in your mouth.
Ace groaned, half awake. âGood morning, beautiful.â His voice was scratchy and husky, not warmed up yet from his pleasure-filled awakening. When his voice got like this in the morning it made you feel feralâsomething about that deep and gravelly sound made you need him more than usual.
He pulled your head up until your lips were wrapped around his head, and then plunged you down on it, eliciting another filthy noise as you gagged on him again. He was fully awake now âFuckkkk, its so early and youâre already taking it for me like a good girl.â
He proceeded to face fuck you until you were a messâhis precum was dribbling out of the corners of your mouth, your hands were covered in your own spit, and every sound he made went straight to your cunt. You were dripping wet and dying for his touch, wishing heâd put his cock in you and fuck you until you couldnât talk anymore. But instead, he was fucking your face for now.
Your breaths were labored. You used every shred of control to breathe through your nose, but his cock was twitching and his hands didnât give you any reprieve. âJust like that, baby. âM gonna fuck your mouth full, just like you wanted. You gonna swallow my cum, sweetheart? Every last drop?â You attempted to nod but you were unsuccessful, on account of his hands tightly gripping your head. He could tell that you were trying to nod, at least.
His hips jerked upwards every time he pushed your head down. The choking, muffled sounds you made were vibrating his cock. âHang in there, just a little bit longer. Thereâs my girl.â
By the time he came down your throat, you were so far gone that you swallowed his seed without a second thought. He pulled you off his cock with a popping noise, and you crawled up his chest and collapsed.
âYou canât give up yet, sugar. Donât you want to ride me first?â

Little Teeth
Warnings: Birthing, Jake being a slight perv, and excessive use of the word "fuck", otherwise it's pure fluff
Words: 9k
A/N: Finally got around to finsihing this fic! I have had so much fun writing this. Thank you so much @loaksxhoe, for giving us your headcanons on @pandoraslxna, when you were still an anon. I love you so much Roomie đ
Jake and Neytiri didnât take long to have a baby, and then right after Neytiri fell pregnant, we found that Graceâs avatar had also become pregnant. No one knows how, but what we do know is that two little babies will be born soon. Jake and Neytiri had already agreed to take in Graceâs baby, and as their third mate, I will be right there with them, helping along the way with two little ones. The firstborn was little Neteyam, a boy, followed quickly by Graceâs baby, a little girl named Kiri. Life with two infants is exhausting in all the best ways. Even though every moment is spent with one of the two little ones, it couldnât be more perfect.
And then Neytiri announced she was pregnant. I made plenty of jokes about naâvi contraceptives, but I was elated about there being a new member of our family soon. Now, with a third on the way, things have been put into overdrive. Thankfully, with preparing for the first two, we didnât need much more, but by Eywaâs grace, would Neytiri please slow down! Sheâs seven months pregnant, Neteyam strapped to her back, and is bow fishing! I demanded her to either sit down or hand me NeteyamâŚ
âNeytiri love, you are heavily pregnant and carrying Neteyam; please let me take some of the load for you!â
Without seeing her face, I know sheâs giving me that glare full of fondness, âI am well aware that I am pregnant, but that does not stop my duties.â she draws her bow, and the beautiful yellow and green feathers fan her cheek.
Rolling my eyes, âOh wow, I didnât remember seeing any of the other pregnant women hunting or fishing. I also donât remember seeing anyone hunting or fishing with their babies strapped to their backs at all. Maybe Iâm just blind.â I walk up, and Neteyam notices me. I started to play with the little foot that I could reach, âLet me take Neteyam, and you can have your fun fishing to your heart's content.â I bargain, Neteyamâs little giggles doing wonders for my case.Â
With a sigh, Neytiri slowly drops her bow and slides Neteyam off her back. I grab him and cradle him to my chest. His big eyes stare up at me with glee.
âHello, little mister,â I coo as Neteyam babbles happily, âHave you had fun fishing with Saânu?â I asked him, knowing he didnât understand. But enjoying the attention, he continues to babble excitedly and squeal, communicating with me in a language only he understands. His bright green eyes stare into mine with the love and devotion only a child can hold.
A large hand cups my face, and Neytiri gently leads me to look at her, âYou are perfect with our kids, and every day, I fall more and more in love with you,â She lays a gentle kiss on my lips.
I smile into our kiss, bringing our lips to meet again until a tiny hand smacked at my face. I looked at Neteyam; he was disgruntled, like I had ruined his little baby life.Â
âIt seems our âItan is jealous. He doesnât like Saânu taking all of his Mamaâs attention,â Neytiri cooed at our son.
âMa!âÂ
Neytiri and I turned our heads to look at Neteyam, surprised and joyful.
âDid he just?â I cut myself off.
âYes, he did, Syulang. See if heâll do it again!â She exclaimed, her hand covering her smile.
I look at Neteyam excitedly, âNeteyam, are you saying Mama? Mama!â I emphasized to him.
âMa! Ma! Ma-ma!â His little fists raised in the air as he chants my name.
âOh my goodness!â I squeal as tears prick at my eyes, excited to hear and be his first word. I kiss his cheek repeatedly, causing him to erupt in giggles.
âOh my âItan, you have always been a Saânuâs boy, yet you say Mama first,â Neytiri teases him, rubbing her nose against his cheek.Â
Happy that the attention is back on him, he throws his head back in giggles as he claps his hands.
âI canât believe it! Neteyamâs first word!â I gush over him.
âHe is blessed,â Neytiri muttered, holding the two of us.
A thought suddenly hit me, âJakeâs going to be so upset. He missed Kiri crawling for the first time, too.â
âBa, I told our Skxawng that she was going to start moving soon, yet he still went on that hunting trip,â She exclaims, rolling her eyes.
âStill, I feel kinda bad,â I worry, continuing to kiss Neteyamâs cheek, not wanting him to be upset after such a big thing.
âJake will just have to work harder with this one.â Neytiri rubs her taunt stomach.Â
âI cannot wait for this little one to join us,â I bring my hand to her stomach, feeling the little one inside.
Looking at the two of us, Neteyam lays his chubby hand on Neytiriâs stomach, âYour tsmukan prrnen is in there,â I explain softly.
Neteyam softly coos as he holds his hand on his Saânuâs belly. Suddenly, Neteyam yanks his hand back before angrily babbling, scawolling at her stomach.Â
I looked at Neteyam questioningly as Neytiri laughed, âOur youngest just kicked Neteyamâs hand.â
I canât stop myself from laughing as well, seeing Neteyam scold his unborn brother, unknown babbles and grizzles leaving him, making him sound like an angry bee.Â
âAlright, my little buzzing bee, itâs time for us to go home,â I comment to Neteyam, caressing his cheek bringing his attention back to me, âEnjoy your fishing, my love,â I lay a kiss on Neytiriâs lips.
âThank you, Yawne, you two enjoy your day,â With that, we go our separate ways.
The walk back to the village was long, as Neytiri likes to fish in more remote areas, but Neteyam and I enjoyed our stroll. I showed him many different plants and rocks. If they were safe, then Iâd put them in his little hands as he learns to move them properly. Feel the texture in his hands and mouth as he learns.
Nearing the village, I hear the sound of paâli and their riders nearby, âDo you hear that, Neteyam? Those are paâli and their riders. The riders are brave warriors who protect the clan,â I explain diligently.Â
Neteyamâs ears flicker, his eyes shifting between me and the sounds he hears. Soon, the paâli riders show themselves, led by Tsuâtey.
âOel ngati kameie, Tsuâtey,â I greet friendly, doing the movement the best I could with a squirming Neteyam.
Tsuâtey returns the gesture, âOel ngati kameie, (Y/N), Neteyam,â Tsuâtey turns his attention to the wiggling baby, âHe seems active today,â A grin shows on his face.
âI think he woke up from his nap just in time to see me. Gives his Saânu peace and quiet, leaving his Mama with a wiggle butt,â I joke.
Neteyam turns his head to me, âMa! Ma ma ma-ma.â He babbles on.
âWell, he wasnât doing that yesterday,â Tsuâtey commented, âDoes Neytiri and Jake know that youâre Neteyamâs favorite?â He teases.
âI donât know if Iâm his favorite. Itâs just easier for babies to use an âMâ sound than the âS.ââ I shrug off, âBut yes, Neytiri was there to hear his words. Unfortunately, I have not yet seen Jake today,â I explain.
Tsuâtey slowly shakes his head, âI swear those two wait for Jake to leave before doing something,âÂ
I laugh at his reasoning, âNeteyam, I believe it is bad timing. Kiri, on the other hand, I see the look in that girl's eyes. Sheâs doing it on purpose.â I laugh joyfully.
âIs that why Jake takes her with him everywhere? Now, Jake has always been good at caring for the babies, but I feel like I haven't seen him without Kiri attached to his chest for the past two months.â Tsuâtey asks, picking fun of my mate.
âI believe so. Jake had Kiri for 48 hours straight, with plenty of playtime and cuddling. Now Jake had Kiri on her back, playing with her. The moment that he went to go to the bathroom, she rolled herself over and started crawling!â I exclaimed, telling my favorite story.
âNo wonder my brother refuses to let go of her! But now he may do the same with this little one,â Tsuâtey comments, laughing at my mate's plight.
âWhat will he do when our third is born? He canât carry them all,â I enjoy the mental image that gives me,
âHe will try, that is for sure,â Tsuâtey grins as he looks around, âWhere is Neytiri? Surely you are not by yourself?â The grin slowly faded from his face.
âNeytiri is restless. She is bow fishing down by her favorite creak.â I shrug.
âShe should still not leave you alone. The animals have been restless lately.â He pursed his lips, âCome here and hop on. I will bring you back to the village.âÂ
I thought to argue, but I was already tired from the walk, and Neteyam was getting restless, âThank you, Tsuâtey,â I walked towards him, and he easily picked the two of us up, settling us in front of him.
âOf course, I am glad to be of help,â He responds before he urges his paâli onward at a slow pace.
Neteyam, interested in the paâli, reached out and patted the fin atop its head, âYes, Neteyam, this is a paâli, Tsuâteyâs paâli. Tsuâtey is your uncle,â I ramble on to Neteyam.
âUncle? I am not familiar with that word.â Tsuâtey inquired.
âIt is an English word, an honorific; it is what children call the brother of their parents. I explain to him.
âAnd you are teaching Neteyam to call me that?â His tail swished joyfully.
âYes, you were a brother to Neytiri first, growing up alongside her. Then you became a brother to Jake and me. We all proved ourselves during the war. You are our brother, and we agreed we like the name and want you to be called that by our kids,â I offered.
âThis is a great honor, thank you,â Tsuâtey reaches around, placing a hand on Neteyamâs head.
âIt is an honor for us to have you as a brother. I am always thankful to call you brother, and I am honored for my children to grow up with you around.â I explain heartfully.
âI promise to always live up to that name,â He responds dutifully.
âI know you will, Brother,â Looking back, I smile at him.
The rest of the ride back to the village was filled with idle chatter, Neteyam babbling along with us, believing he was adding to the conversation. Tsuâtey and I indulged him; every time he babbled, we would respond to him with wows or agreements, encouraging him to babble more.
Tsuâtey brought us to the village entrance before helping us down, âYou two enjoy your day. I will be back later, hopefully with one of your run-away mates,â He explains, turning his paâli around.
I give a small laugh at his choice of words, âThank you, Tsuâtey; however, I will enjoy my time with Neteyam. It has been a while since he has had one one-on-one with his Mama,â I explain cheekily.Â
���Got it. I will not look for them too hard,â He agrees, matching my grin.Â
âStay safe, Tsuâtey.â I nod before heading to my kelku.
Being mated to the Oloâeyktan meant our kelku was in the center of the village. It was also larger than the average, but that is fine as we will have three kids in under a year. It was decorated with beautiful tapestries, woven garments, and pillows. It had taken some convincing with Neytiri, but she ended up loving the pillows and the many uses they have, especially the one made to wrap around her front, helping hold the babies and letting her rest her arms.
Looking down, I hear Neteyam grizzling, with it being time for a feed and a nap.Â
âI know Teyam, Mamaâs going,â I soothe, preparing his bottle, another human invention I had to convince Neytiri of.Â
Warming his milk, I check it on my wrist before pouring it into his bottle. I walk over to the pillows, situating myself and Neteyam as his whines increase in volume, âShh, lovey, I got it right here,â I coo, placing the tip in his mouth.Â
Neteyam eagerly latches on, suckling the milk into his mouth and swallowing greedily. He rests his arms on his stomach as his eyes grow heavy. I rest Neteyam on a pillow, angling him towards me, as I use my now free hand to rub over his head. He continues to suck at his bottle like itâs his last meal until itâs finished. Sitting him up, I hold him under his chin before patting his back gently, forcing the trapped wind out. After the wind came up, I brought him back to my chest, cradling him close to me as he readied himself for a nap. Smoothing his hair and running a finger over his face, Neteyamâs eyes droop further as sleep calls him. I chuckle softly as I watch him drift to sleep. With nothing else to do, I sit there watching his beautiful face as he rests peacefully, his chest rising and falling with every breath. I canât help but reflect on everything that brought me here, and despite the losses, I wouldnât trade this moment for the world. Knowing that I will be here for a while, I grab my last weaving project, another sling, as weâll need it with the new little one, as theyâll be here any day.
Jake named Neteyam, wanting to honor Neytiriâs side of the family, and with Neteyam being a mini Neytiri, it worked perfectly. Neytiri named Kiri, naming her after her biological mother. I am unsure of who will name the newest one, but thoughts have circled in my head. One particular name stays around, refusing to leave.
âDarling, why must you look at me like that?â I hear Jake as he enters our kelku.
I turn to see him wearing the Oloâeyktan ornaments, with Kiri strapped to his chest, staring at her father without blinking.
âPlease, baby girl, just blink,â Jakeâs voice turns to pleading.
I laugh quietly at Jake losing a fight with his infant daughter, grabbing his attention.
âHey, Sweetheart, how has your day been?â Jake asks, lowering his voice when he notices Neteyam sleeping.
I smile at him, bemused, as Kiri has yet to blink, âItâs been good. Got some time with Neteyam, saw Tsuâtey, now what is this about Kiri and not blinking?â I ask, giggling softly.
A groan escaped Jake, âI swear to you, she hasnât blinked in over five minutes. She just stares at me blankly.â Truth be told, I still havenât seen Kiri blink yet.
I have to restrain myself from laughing, âGosh, I love that girl,â
âYou say that like she hasnât been purposely tormenting me,â Jake exaggerated.
âWhile that may be true, you did miss something important today.â I tease him.
Curiously, Jakeâs face furrows as he smiles hesitantly, âAnd what did I miss?â
âWell, you see, I went to go and force Neytiri to chill out because I found her bow fishing with Neteyam again. After convincing her to hand over to Neteyam, she gave me a quick parting kiss.â I pause for dramatic effect, âNow Neteyam didnât like that the attention was off of him, and Neytiri pointed out that he didnât like that his Saânu and Mama were getting more attention than him. Apparently, Neteyam needed to get his point across, and he did that by saying âMama,ââ I grin triumphantly.Â
âNeteyam, Neteyam said his first word? He said, Mama!â Jakeâs ears and tail flickered in glee as he fought to keep his voice down. âI canât believe it!â Jake paused briefly, his tail drooping, âI canât believe I missed it!â Realizing he missed another milestone.Â
I chuckle at his actions; poor Jake kept missing things, âWell, if you want to switch, maybe Neteyam will speak for you when he wakes, and our little miss will finally blink.â I reach my free arm out.
Grumbling, he unwraps Kiri from her sling, and we switch babies; Neteyam snuffles a little before settling in Jakeâs arms, while Kiri finally blinks, realizing that sheâs with her Mama a gummy smile stretched over her face, two little white spots on top of her gums.
I laugh, realizing that Jake missed something else, âJake, my love,â I look at him, grinning.
He looks at me, concerned, âWhat is it this time?âÂ
âOur daughter has two teeth coming in,â I grin triumphantly.
âWhat? No way!â He rushes over the best he can with a sleeping Neteyam.
I turn Kiri around, moving her top lip to show the two white spots, âLooks like her fangs are coming in first. Is that normal for naâvi?â I ask while feeling the spots, seeing how far along they are.
âI donât even know what human baby teeth come in first, let alone naâvi,â He admitted sheepishly.
âIâll have to ask Neytiri or Moâat, depending on how long Neytiri decides to stay out. Kiriâs teeth are coming along.â I mention.
Jake feels Kiriâs gums, much to her ire, âIâd probably do it sooner than later. Those teeth arenât waiting for anyone,â He explains, removing his finger as Kiri goes to chomp down.
I laugh as Jake looks at our daughter fearfully, âAlright, scaredy cat,â I sit up and move towards the door.
I struggle to put on the sling for Kiri, but after successfully trying it, I wave back at Jake before heading back out.
The healing tent, thankfully, isnât far from our marui, a brisk walk. The longest part of it was when I stopped digging up a plant for Kiri to hold. The plant seemed to react to her presence, but that was a topic for another day.
The healing tent isn't really a tent. Itâs underground, beneath the roots of a tree, giving a warm and cozy vibe when you walk in, bringing warmth and peace as the scents of herbs and tinctures brush my nose. Moâat stands in the middle of the undergrowth, grinding petals into her mortar.Â
âOel ngati kameie, Moâat,â I call out respectfully.Â
Her head swivels to look at me. A soft smile brushes her face as she spots Kiri and I, âOel ngati kameie. I trust that you two are alright?â She asks, eyeing us for injuries.
âWe are fine. Just came to show you Kiriâs new teeth,â I return her smile.
Moâatâs ears and tail flickered in joy as her face lit up, âBring her here! I must see,â She quickly abandons her work.
Laughing, I untangle the sling, happily handing over Kiri to her grandmother. Moâat eagerly took her granddaughter, placing a finger inside Kiriâs mouth, feeling at the emerging teeth.Â
âTwo little fangs; it seems theyâre coming in just fine!â She spoke excitedly, her voice soft to not bother Kiri.
âJake and IÂ were wondering, is it normal for naâvi babies' fangs to come in first?â I ask, seeing that Moâat is happy with the progress.
Removing her finger from Kiriâs mouth, she explains, âHmm, yes, one or two top fangs come in at a time, then the bottom ones. After that, the front teeth fill in.â
I nod my head, happy with her words, âThatâs a little different than what I am used to, but I am glad that everything is normal.â
âIs that not how humans work?â She asks curiously.
âActually-â
âSaânok! Do you know where Jake and (Y/N) are?â I hear Neytiri call.
âI am here, Love!â I called back to her.
âWhat is the matter âIte?â Moâat answers as Neytiri comes into sight, Tsuâtey at her side.
âI am in labor; our newest one is early,â She explains calmly as she shuffles her way into the healing tent.
Looking at Tsuâtey, I grab Kiri from Moâat and hand her to him, âReady?â I ask him.
âI have been waiting. We knew the day would be soon.â Tsuâtey accepts Kiri from me.
âJake is at our kelku with Neteyam. If you could, please send him our way, that would be amazing,â I comment as I go through the mental birthing plan.Â
âDo not worry. I will send Jake your way and care for the little ones,â He calmly states, noticing my incoming panic.Â
âThank you, Tsuâtey,â I give one last kiss to Kiriâs cheek before turning and joining Neytiri and Moâat further into the tree roots.Â
The deeper underground is only illuminated by the surrounding plants. As I walked down, it became warmer as steam poured upward, and the healing pools were heated, creating the perfect place for birthing. The area brings a natural peace, helping calm me.
Neytiri was already resting in a pool, her garments folded neatly off to the side, as she relaxed with her mother next to her. I sit next to the pool, grabbing Neytiriâs hand and placing it on my face.
âAre you calm now, âIte?â Moâat asks me.
Sighing, I reply, âMuch better now. Iâm sorry for panicking,â I mutter to Neytiri.
She laughs softly at me, âJake was much worse when Neteyam was born. I thought he was going to pass out on me,â Her large thumb caresses my face.
âIn our defense, human births are an ordeal. Sometimes it takes several days, and surgery is still needed to remove the baby,â I mumble, eased as I remember naâvi births are relatively simple.
âSeveral days? That seems excessive,â Moâat questioned.
âHuman births are not easy. It's excruciating. I know my mother was in labor with me for 29 hours before the doctor agreed to remove me surgically.â I explain, grimacing.
âSurgically?â Moâat mutter aghast.
âYes, my mother didnât dilate enough for me to pass through, so instead, they cut open through several layers of flesh and into the womb to remove me.â I wince at the idea, âThe only other option would be to attempt to force me out, which would have either gotten me stuck, most likely killing both of us or my mother would have torn, causing her to bleed out.â
The two women looked at me fearfully, unable to process what I explained to them.
âAnd this is common for humans?â Moâat asked softly, slightly pale.
âYeah, around 1 million births a year are c-sections,â I struggled to remember the average number.
âWould you be at risk for those?â Neytiri asked concernedly.
I look at her earnestly, âOh, definitely, thatâs why Jake and I are so careful because a naâvi baby would be so large that I would be on bed rest from about the 4th month and would need a c-section. Although we do have several human doctors who can perform the surgery, itâs really just the pregnancy that has us concerned.âÂ
Neytiri goes to speak, but a wince cuts her off. I look down and notice her slit is swollen, symbolizing that her cervix is moving forward slowly. I place my hand into the water, gently rubbing at the side of her slit, trying to help ease the tension building there.
âAfter hearing that, this seems easy,â She groans.
âHey, donât play down your pain. Your body is literally rearranging itself for birth; you get to complain, groan, and moan, and I will personally help you if you threaten Jake, and Jake will as well.â I scold her gently but firmly.
âThreaten? Is that normal for human births? Neytiriâs giggles were infectious.
âYeah, just the standard things though, âYouâre never touching me again!â, âIâm cutting off your balls and feeding them to the dog!â you know the normal things.â I comment, remembering some of the things I had heard before.
Moâat and Neytiri burst into laughter, their giggles echoing to the top of the healing pod.
Jake walked into the birthing room smiling, âIt seems Iâm missing out.â
âOh, you know, just threatening humankind by castrating men,â I smile sweetly.
Jake winces, pushing his legs together at the thought, âBabe, I donât have those anymore, and thatâs still terrifying.â
âI still find it odd that human sex are outside the body, males in particular. It literally sways as they move,â Neytiri muses, furrowing her brow.
My head tilts back in laughter, amused by her disgust, âLove, I was terrified when Jake showed me his slit and a giant dick covered in spikes came out! Human genitals are tame compared.â
I quickly shut my mouth, remembering that Moâat was in the room. I sent her an apologetic look, apologizing for my language. She merely chuckles, shaking her head.
âNow that your mates are here, I will go upstairs. Iâll come back after you are finished together.â With that, she left up the stairs.
Jake takes her spot, kneeling on the other side of the pool, his hand rubbing at Neytiriâs neck, easing her muscles, âHow are you feeling?â
âSore and uncomfortable, this one is ready to leave,â She mutters, and I can feel her inner muscles contracting and moving around.
âI can feel it. Baby wants out now,â I chuckle lightly, realizing something, âAll of our kids are eager today: Neteyamâs first word, Kiriâs first teeth, and now baby three is rushing their own birth.â
Neytiriâs face lit up, âKiri has a fang now?â She asked excitedly.
âTwo little teeth are pushing through, two little white spots on her gums,â Jake explains, cupping warm water and trailing it over her shoulders.
âAhhh, I can not wait to see them,â Her face is aglow.
âAnd despite Jake having her all day, he still managed to miss them. I spotted her teeth,â I giggle at Jakeâs luck.
âMa Jake, what is with our children and avoiding you,â Neytiriâs laugh brought joy to us as we successfully distracted her.
âI held her all day! There is no way I could have missed that!â Jake whines.
âYou also held a staring contest with her and lost,â I pointed out.
âShe wouldnât blink! Five minutes!â He exclaimed.
Neytiriâs head fell back as her laughter rang through the underground.Â
âOur âIte will walk all over you when she is older,â Her giggles trail off.
âI canât fight an eight-month-old baby,â Jakeâs pout was evident.
Neytiri and I look at each other, smiling, knowing that our husband was thoroughly whipped for his daughter.Â
âOh!â Neytiri exclaimed.
I press around the sides of her slit, feeling the baby's head was close, âIâm going to start prepping you, Love,â I explain to her.
I wait for her nod of consent before gently rubbing at her slit. The opening is swollen from the moving blood. I press down with easy pressure, moving my fingers from top to bottom, urging her slit to open. A sharp hiss leaves Neytiriâs mouth as she grabs Jakeâs hand.
âEasy, itâs okay baby, we got you,â I can hear Jake hold back a wince of his own from her firm grip on his hand.
âIs this where humans would start to threaten their male mate?â Neytiri asked through clenched teeth.
âYes, Love, this is typically that time,â I send a knowing grin to Jake, excited to hear the explicit that will fall from her mouth.Â
Jake gives me a dark look but otherwise doesnât say anything.
âJake! You bastard!â She starts off strong, âIf I didnât like it so much, I would cut off your dick and feed it to the Ikranâs!â
With that, I had to duck my head, hiding the smile that couldnât stop. I focus back on my task, feeling her muscles giving in to my touch. I push a little harder, needing to break the seal that her pregnancy caused.
âFuck you, Jake! Iâm trying your dick to an Ikran and having it take flight!â Her scream was shrill as I broke the seal.
âYouâre doing such a good job, Love. The sealâs broken. The worst of it is over.â I coo to her.
âBy Eywa, that seal is horrible,â Neytiri mutters breathlessly, the sharp pain of the seal breaking causing her to lose her breath.
Now that her slit is open, I can see the fluid from her womb flow out, tainting the pool in a soft blue glow. I dip my fingers inside, feeling for the babyâs head. Their crown was near but not properly aligned yet.Â
âAlmost there, Love. Just a couple more minutes, and we can get them out,â I explain softly, my fingers never leaving the babyâs head.
Neytiri chuckles through her groans, âThis one is eager, a week early, and not even an hour in labor.â
âNeteyam was average, right? Three hours?â He questions.
I look up at Neytiriâs face, wondering what the answer is, âYes, three to four hours is average. And I now know why. I can feel this one moving my organs at their whim.â She hisses as the baby moves again.
Their fuzzy head is beneath my fingertips as their crown aligns some more. I shot Jake a pointed look, so I could continue to ease the rest of her slit open.Â
âSo what are the names we had listed?â He asked lamely.
âWell, for a girl, we all agreed on Miâniri or Tuktirey,â Neytiri reminded him.
âIf sheâs named Tuktirey, the kids may have a hard time with her name until they are older,â I warned as I used the warm water to gently ease away the remains of the seal.
âMhm,â She groaned as more the seal was parted, âI donât think any of us agreed on a boy name,â Wincing as more of her slit parted.
Noticing that the baby was trying to push itself out early, I placed a bit of pressure on their head, needing to open Neytiriâs slit fully; otherwise, it could hurt both Neytiri and the baby.
âJake, this is 100% your child,â I mutter, trying to hurry but not wanting to hurt Neytiri anymore.
Sputtering, Jake managed out, âWhat did I do?â
âYour child likes to finish early,â I muttered blankly.
âI do not finish early!â Jake protested.
âThen why do I always make our, Paskalin cum?â Neytiri joins in.
Using Jakeâs bruised ego as a distraction, I finish peeling apart the bottom of Neytiriâs slit, allowing our baby to come out.
âReady, Tiri? Our baby is ready to come out now,â I explain to her softly, my joy barely contained.
I remove my hand from her slit; instead, I place both my hands outside and around, ready to catch our baby. Neytiri grips onto Jakeâs hand, takes a deep breath, and pushes. As she strains, her slit parts wide, showing us the babyâs head.
âYouâre doing so good; theyâre almost here,â Jake cooed into her ear.
I look and see Neytiri struggling. I pat her hip and say, âBreathe, my love, you need to breathe.â I rub at her hip as she follows my words, âThere you go, good job, just breathe,â I praise her.
I watch as her breathing regulates itself and that sheâs ready to try again, âReady, baby? Theyâre almost here; I can see their head. Just give me another push.â I explain softly, readying myself again.
One more breath, and she started to push, grunting as our babyâs head slowly went past her slit, letting us see their head to the top of their eyes.
âAlmost there, Love!â I exclaimed as their head finally popped through, âThat their head, good job, Lovie, one more push for the shoulders, and then our baby is here.âÂ
With that, Neytiri pushed as hard as she could, forcing the shoulders out, and the rest of our baby slid out. I grabbed the baby, bringing its face above the water as I cleaned the membrane off its face.Â
Their little face scrunched up as they took their first breath before crying out their displeasure. I coo at them as I finish cleaning them off, looking for any abnormalities or injuries. As I washed them, their slit that hides their internal genitals didnât have the strength to close and won't for many months.Â
I slowly had them over to Neytiri, âSay hello to our son,â I whispered over his cries.
The three of us crowd together, our arms all coiled around each other, each touching one another and our new son. Tears were in all of our eyes as Neytiri brought our son to her teat, and his cries died off as he quickly latched on and began to drink.Â
âHeâs got a good appetite,â Jake softly chuckled, not wanting to startle the baby.
âHe just wants his Saânu,â I chuckle back.
Slowly, I reach around and grab Neytiriâs kuru, bringing it forward as Jake goes for our sonâs, the bare neural whip, tiny in his large hands. We both look at Neytiri, waiting for her to say something, but her eyes could leave our son's face. He was content where he was, laying snuggly against his Saânu, eating his first meal.Â
Jake clears his throat, trying to grab her attention. Neytiri is slow to look away but eventually meets his eyes. Recognition faces through her face as she sees the kurus in our grasp.
âPlease,â She whispers.Â
And we obey slowly; we bring them together, the glowing strands wrapping around each other as Tsaheylu was formed. Slowly, Neytiriâs eyes closed as she relaxed into the bond, feeling everything that our son felt, the first bond being made.
Jake and I looked at each other, knowing that everything we had gone through was worth it for these moments. We slowly brought our faces together, and our lips met softly just over our babyâs head. It was sweet and passionate, full of love.
âI love you two, but do that somewhere else,â Neytiri gripped at us, her eyes remaining closed.
We part quickly, like teens caught by their parents, before we laughed quietly. I go back to finishing my job, cleaning Neytiri, and clamping the umbilical cord, severing one of the internal bonds.Â
We all sat there quietly, Jake and I watching our son eat his fill, snuffling as he suckled. By the time he was finished, his little tummy was rounded full from his meal. I reached over and placed my hand on his stomach.
âLook at his tummy, Jake,â I coo, loving the feel of a newborn.
âOur little one is a good eater,â He responds, smiling, his hand rubbing at our son's head.Â
âHe enjoys your attentions,â Neytiri mumbles, a soft smile on her face.Â
âHe knows who his parents are,â Jake comments, his voice deep rumbling in a purr.Â
A little squeaky sound follows, a little chirping noise that our son is making, the purr of an infant. The continued squeaking purr filled the underground, mixing with Jakeâs comforting rumbles. Slowly and slightly reluctantly, Neytiri disconnects from our baby, handing him over to Jake. He grabs him and cradles our son to his chest, their purrs syncing. I grabbed Neytiriâs hand, linking our fingers together.Â
We stayed down there for what seemed like hours, simply holding the baby and comforting each other. It was once again my turn with our son. He lay curled with his head resting above my heart. I smoothed a hand down his fuzzy head and down his back before doing it again, memorizing the sanhĂŹ that covers his body. This time, he was asleep, so it was quiet in the underground once again.
âMa Yawne,â Neytiri called, âJake and I have been discussing, and we agree itâs your turn to choose the name,â Her smile was soft as tears stung my eyes. Â
âWeâve both named a child. This time, it's yours,â Jake added as he wrapped an arm around me.
âI-I never-I havenât.â I stuttered out as tears poured out of my eyes, trailing down and dropping on my son's head.
Neytiri crawled out of the pool, sitting herself next to me. She grabbed my face and placed a gentle kiss on my lips, âYou are one of us, YawntutsyĂŹp; you are our Syulang, never doubt that.â Her voice was full of passion as I leaned into her touch.
I have never doubted they loved me, but being the only human in this relationship comes with hardships and worriesâfears of never being enough for them. But this was real and couldnât be taken back.
Choking back my tears, I look at my son's face again, wondering which name to go with, even though I already knew the answer.
âLoâak,â I whispered, âHis name is Loâak,â
âLike Loâakur Toruk Makto Amulet, itâs perfect, Yawne,â Her voice wobbled as she held me closer.
I lean up and lay my lips on the underside of her jaw as Jake wraps himself around my other side.Â
âI think itâs a perfect name,â But then he whispers quietly enough that Neytiri canât hear, âIt is Loâak and not LOAC, right?âÂ
I refused to respond to that with words. Instead, I leaned to the side and bit his ear.
âHey! Let go. I was just asking,â Jake whined quietly, trying not to wake Loâak.
I continue with my hold on Jakeâs ear, laughing as he attempts to get away from my teeth.Â
On my other side, I can feel rumbling, Neytiriâs laughter, âChildren, Iâm mated to two children,â A grin overtook her face.
I quickly let go of Jakeâs ear and turned to her, âYou love us this way,â I smiled cheekily.Â
She said nothing as she kissed my lips before doing the same to a pouting Jake.
And I know that this moment couldnât be better.
âMa Syulang, I will be patrolling today. Jake should be back soon, but if I see Tsuâtey, I will send him to help you,â Neytiri rambles as she places her ionar.
I picked up Neteyam before he climbed onto our cooking spot.Â
I turned and put on my best smile, âDonât worry, Love, Iâll be fine until Jake gets back,â With that, Loâak started crying; growing in four fangs at once was painful.
Based on Neytiriâs face, I donât think I did a good job in convincing her I was indeed fine, âI think I will wait for Jake to return before leaving,â She explains as she stops Kiri from putting a random leaf in her mouth, causing her to cry.Â
I quickly placed Neteyam into the front of the sling, as Loâak was tied to my back, before moving over to Kiri, grabbing her wooden Ikran toy. Showing Kiri the toy, she quieted down, and I went to take her from Neytiri as Neteyam wiggled, becoming frustrated from the lack of mobility.Â
âIâve got them. You go on patrol,â I demand, as Netyeam grabbed a fist full of my hair and yanked.
âNeteyam!â I scolded, a burning, sharp pain radiating through my skull.Â
My shout scared the babies, causing all three to tear up and cry. Loâakâs cries turned into squeals, even more upset on top of the pain. Neteyam pulled again in his frustration, and I quickly put him down into the gated play area, âNeteyam, that is not okay. I know youâre upset, but you hurt Mama. Youâre going to sit in here until you can use gentle hands. Mama loves you, but you can not hurt people,â I scolded softly but firmly.Â
I sat down near the gate but left it out of reach; I pulled Loâak to my front, setting him next to Kiri as I shooshed them, trying to calm the two of them.
Neytiri walks urgently to my side, âHere, let me take one,â As she goes to grab one of the kids.
âNo, Neytiri, Iâm the one that scared them. I need to be the one to calm them and reassure them. I will do the same once Neteyam is out of timeout.â I sighed as Kiriâs cries trailed off into sniffles.
âIâm sorry, babies, Mama shouldnât have yelled. Iâm sorry for scaring you. Mama loves you,â I coo to them, apologizing for my actions.Â
I continued to coo and rock them as Neteyamâs time came up. I walked over and stepped over the gate, sitting next to Neteyam. I pulled him into my arms, and he wrapped his chubby baby arms around my neck.
I kiss his head gently, âNeteyam, I love you so much, but you can not hurt people. Can you tell Mama youâre sorry?â I ask him gently.
âSorry, Mama,â He sniffles, his little fingers clawing in distress.
âYouâre forgiven, baby. Mama loves you so much,â I curled Neteyam closer to me as I leaned back against some pillows against the gate.Â
âLove Mama,â He grizzles, rubbing his face in my neck.
âMama loves you too, Teyam,â I whisper, noticing that the three of them are starting to settle down.Â
Seeing that Neytiri was still standing there watching us, I used my face to gesture to the blanket nearby. Understanding what I wanted, she grabbed the soft blanket, covering the four of us in the soft fur.Â
âMama loves all of you so much,â I whisper again, kissing each of their heads.
Noticing that the situation was handled, Neytiri blew me a kiss before strapping her quiver on, her bow in hand, âDo you need anything, Yawne?â She asked one last time.
âThank you, Love, but Iâm good,â I whisper as I hear Kiriâs little snores.Â
Giving us one last soft look, she left the kelku, leaving me with a snoring baby, a dozing baby, and a grizzly baby. I mentally curse at myself, realizing I should have asked for one of the baby sleeping mats to be placed next to me instead of where I spot it on the other side of the gated area.Â
Accepting my fate as a baby bed for the time being, I slouch a bit more, getting myself comfortable.Â
âMama?â Neteyam asked drowsily.
âYes, baby?â I hum, petting his hair.
âMama?â He asks again, slower than the last time.
âMama loves you, Netyeam,â I whisper again.
Slowly, his breathing eases out as he falls into a deep sleep.
Now that two of the three kids were sleeping, I turned to the third baby. Loâak was lying there resting, chewing on the strap to the sling, grizzling sleepily as he fights sleep and the pain of the emerging teeth. I kiss his forehead, bringing his attention to me.
âMama loves you, Loâak, just as Mama loves Neteyam, and how Mama loves Kiri. I wish I could take the pain from you and help you rest, just as I wished I could do it for your siblings.â I ramble on, holding eye contact with Loâak, âYour Sempu is getting something to help with your teeth from your grandma, but heâs taking a long time, isnât he? I love your Sempu, too, but he can be such a skxawng sometimes,â I smiled at Loâak, and in return, he gave me a watery smile before returning to gnawing on the straps of the sling.
He turned his head left to right, switching sides to alleviate the pressure. Using my not-so-free hand, I place my hand on his head, rubbing his cheek with my thumb, trying to give him the comfort he needs as he grizzles. Feeling something on his face, Loâak turns, sucking my finger into his mouth and gnawing on my thumb. He grinds his teeth and gums into my thumb, and I can feel my thumbnail crunching under the strength. I maneuver my thumb out of his mouth, trying not to curse at the pain. Looking at the offended limb, I see cracks in my nail from where he bit.
âYou got a strong jaw there, baby. Gotta make sure nothing breakable goes in your mouth,â I laugh at Loâakâs disgruntled look, âNow, donât give me that look. I like my thumb in one piece,â I say, wiggling my thumb, trying to ease the pain.Â
Loâakâs eyes filled with tears as his new teething toy disappeared. I quickly leave small kisses all over Loâakâs face, distracting him from the loss of my thumb. Soft little baby giggles fill the kelku as the onslaught of kisses amuses him.
âNow thatâs one of my favorite sounds. My other favorite is when you and Neytiri scream my name,â Jakeâs face was stretched in a smirk.
Without looking away from Loâak, I calmly mentioned, âIf you like us yelling your name, Iâll make sure to tell Neytiri it was you who lost the feathers she gathered for her arrows.â I quickly blow a raspberry on Loâakâs face, bringing forth more of his giggles.
âEasy baby, it was just a joke; please donât sign my death warrant,â I hear him plead as he kneels next to the gated area.
âSee, Loâak, I told you heâs such a Skxawng,â I explain to Loâak, his eyes attentive to me.
âIs this what you do while Iâm gone? Teach them propaganda against me?â Jake teases, baffled.
âYes, Iâm staging a coup. Neytiri is my bodyguard, Neteyam is my recruiter, Kiri is my lookout, and Loâak is my second. Fear me, Jake Sully, your time is limited.â I drawl.
âHa! You forgot Moâat! She won't betray the Oloâeyktan!â Jake exclaimed quietly.Â
âShe will if her daughter is on my side, idiot,â I snark back at him, a smile threatening to cover my face.Â
âHmm, that is true, but I also have the numbing paste for Loâak,â He teases, hanging the bag over my head.
Interested in his father's actions, Loâak tries to reach for the bag above us.
âYou would stoop so low as to threaten your own son's comfort?â I gasped dramatically. If my hands weren't full, I would place a hand over my heart.
âAnything to keep my lovely mates by my side. Now kiss me,â Jake demands, smiling at me, leaning down.
âYouâre such a tease. We should role-play this some night,â I comment, leaning up to meet him.Â
âI love that idea. You think Neytiri would be on board?â Jake asks concernedly, stepping over the gate, taking the two sleeping babies from me and cuddling them to his chest.
âWell, first, we would have to explain what role-playing is, but I have heard her say she wished you would command her in bed more often. As long as she knows that it won't change in our day-to-day life, I think sheâll love it,â I reply, explaining what I had heard.
âI hope she likes it,â He smiles, his tale swishing happily behind him.
I sat there thinking for a moment as I rubbed the paste into Loâakâs gums, careful not to let his jaws clamp on my finger again, âGosh, I donât think weâve been intimate since before Loâak was born. It has been what, ten months now?â I ask Jake, really wondering if it had been that long.Â
â324 days, to be exact,â He replied in a snap.
âBabe, have you wanted it that long?â I asked him concernedly.
Jake slowly shakes his head, âItâs alright, I have a working hand. We were all so tired, three babies right back to back. I didnât want either of you two to feel stressed or pressured, so I kept my mouth shut,â He shrugged like it was no big deal.
Tears sprung to my eyes hearing this, wishing that Jake understood how much this truly meant. I stand to my feet, shifting Loâak so he is lying against my chest as he drifts to sleep now that the pain is gone. I cradle Jake's face in my hand as I kiss him passionately, pouring my love for him into the kiss.Â
Parting slowly, I rest my forehead against his, âWhat did I ever do to deserve you?â
Jake smiles softly, âThe first time we met, I was in a wheelchair and got pushed down a hall. The force of the push caused me to hit you, and you fell into my lap. You could have yelled at me, blamed me, and so many others had.â Jakeâs voice breaks as he licks his lips, âBut instead, you took one look at the situation, and you apologized to me, even though you were the victim too before you hunted down the bastard and broke their nose, before chewing them out in front of everyone around. I knew right then and there that you were the one for me.â Jake rubbed his nose on mine as he couldnât hold me with the two babies in his arms.
I curl into Jakeâs arms the best I can, tears trailing down my face from the mixed emotions swirling inside me.Â
âThat long? And you didnât say anything?â I whispered, my voice cracked.Â
âYou were so pretty and firey, way out of my league. I was just a dumb jarhead stuck in a wheelchair. I was just happy to be in your presence.â Jake wrapped his tail around, laying it on my lap.Â
âYou were always so much more than that. You were my first friend there, so kind and funny. I always had to stop myself from laughing when you snarked at Grace. You were always so strong and never took any shit. I knew I was falling in love with you, but the day you chose the naâvi over the humans, the day you betrayed your own species for the greater good, I knew I wasnât going to let you slip away.â I explained to him, kissing him again softly.Â
âWho would have thought we were both such simps,â Jake smiled into our kiss.
I giggled a bit, âNeytiri did. If it weren't for her, I doubt any of this would have happened,â I gestured to our kids.Â
âThat is tru-AHHHHHHHH!!!â Jake screamed, waking the babies and filling the air with their screams.
Panicking, I back away, trying to see whatâs wrong.
âDonât do that!â Jake yelled again.
âDonât do what?â I scream in return.
Both the babies in Jakeâs arms were squealing, terrified of the noise, as they waved their fists in the air. But Loâak was quiet. Looking down, I see the culprit of Jakeâs pain. Right in Loâakâs little mouth lay Jakeâs tail, clenched between those strong jaws and little teeth.
âLoâakâs biting your tail!â I screamed, trying to pull Jakeâs tail out of Loâakâs mouth.
âI see that! Now stop pulling!â Jake's teeth were bared in a natural defense to the pain.
âWell then, how would you like to handle this?â I yelled back, barely hearing anything over the screaming babies.
âI don't know! Just do something!â He yells, trying to pull his tail out of Loâakâs mouth.
âStop yelling! Youâre scaring the babies!â I screamed back, trying to push on Loâakâs jaw to get him to let go.
Loâakâs squeaky growls add to the mix of screaming and whiling. Loâak does not want his new chew toy taken away, and he learned the last time to not let go.
âFuck! Loâak! Let go!â Jakeâs voice started to slip into a growl, fighting the challenge that Loâak started.
âI love you, but donât you dare growl at the baby,â I hissed at him while still trying to pry Loâakâs jaw open.
âHe started it!â He hissed back.
Kiri, either from fear or simply being done with shit, reached out and sunk her teeth into Jakeâs shoulder, her growls adding to the mix.
âFuck, fuck, fuck, Kiri, let go!â Jake yelled out.
âDa fuck? Why Kiri?â I asked no one in particular.Â
âIs everything alright in here,â I hear Tsuâtey call.
Jake and I snap our heads over to him, âNO!â We yell in tandem.
âWhat is going on?â Tsuâteyâs deep voice asked over the chaos.
âLoâak bit Jakeâs tail, and Kiri bit his shoulder, and we canât get them to let go!â I rushed to explain while my hand started to cramp.
âTsuâtey, seriously, help us get them off!â Jake demanded as nicely as he was able to.
âHave you scruffed them? That usually works,â Tsuâtey asked, baffled.
âWhy would we scruff a baby?â I asked, bewildered and slightly hostile.Â
âBe-because it calms them and will make them let go?â He answered, questioning us and himself.
âYou know what, I donât care, as long as it gets them off!â Jake hissed again.
Slow Tsuâtey walked over as if we were aggressive animals waiting to ponce. Spotting Kiri first, he slowly moved his hand over the back of her neck, gently rubbing before holding onto the skin there. A confused noise left her as she let go. Quickly, Tsuâtey grabbed her and held her properly.Â
âYou scruff them,â He explained calmly.
Looking down at Loâak, I move my hand from his jaw and copy the same movements that Tsuâtey did, and with a bated breath, Loâak let go. Jake grabbed his tail in relief as we all started to soothe the distressed babies. All of us are now mindful of the little teeth in their mouths.
âBrother, I thank you for your help in this, but if Neytiri ever finds out about this, I will personally make sure you and Ninat cannot have children,â Jake murmured while rocking Neteyam.
âNo need for that, JakeSully. It is a right of passage in parenthood. Neytiri will be thrilled to see those scars!â Tsuâtey laughed, âEytukan wore the scars Neytiri and Sylwanin gave him with pride. He would decorate the marks on the day of their birth.â
I look at Jake, bewildered that this is normal here, and based on the look that he gave me, he was thinking the same thing.Â
âHow-how often does this happen?â I asked tentatively.
âAbout once or twice a child,â Tsuâtey shrugged like it was no big deal.
âIâm going to tap out of this tradition as a human who is highly susceptible to infections, and I know that those teeth can and will do severe damage to me. For my safety, that isnât gonna happen,â I deadpan.
I hear them both wince at the thought.
âThat may be a good idea,â Tsuâtey, the biggest stickler for traditions, admitted.Â
âFuck!â
All eyes turned to the shouted curse.
âPlease tell me-â
âFuck!â Followed by little giggles.
âWeâre so dead,â Jake muttered, all the color draining from his face.
âWe have to hide this from Neytiri,â I whispered back.
Neteyam looked at Kiri from across the room, âFuck!â He shouted at his sister, followed by giggles.
Kiri waved her arms excitedly, âFuck!â She giggled back.
Tsuâtey slowly stood up, gently passing me Kiri like she was an atomic bomb, âYou two seem to have a handle on this. I will take my leave now,â With that, he ran away with his tail between his legs, like a coward.Â
âDid we ever finish writing our wills?â I ask, as Neteyamâs responding âfuckâ travels through the air.
âThe naâvi donât have wills,â Jake answered, accepting his fate.
âMaybe sheâll kill us quickly,â I whispered hopefully.
âUck!â Loâak shouted his first word.
Slowly, we looked at Loâak before looking back at each other, dread filling our souls. Neteyam and Kiri were thrilled at their baby brother joining them. Their laughter and shouts of âfuckâ echo through the room, all three of them filled with glee. Not understanding that they were going to be raised by a single mother soon.

Just Need You (Din x Reader)
A/N: Okay. This turned into waaayyyyyy more than I expected but once it started it just kept coming, and IâŚ. I kinda love it? Like for real? These two are a mess and Iâm kind of obsessed with them. (Also, thank you, Anon, for being my first Mando request and for sending a request at all! You made me happy dance, you have no idea.)
Anon asked: âHey babes, can you do a Mando x reader where the reader is a bounty hunter and leaves the ship to complete a mission and is only supposed to be gone a few hours but theyâre gone all night and Din starts to panic and the next morning they show up slightly injured sand Din completely loses it and he was so scared then feels guilty? (fluff and ANGST) (sorry this is long!)â
I do not own Star Wars or itâs characters. Sadly. But I carry them in my heart. Does that count for something? My soul says yes.
Warnings: Tooth rotting fluff, Grogu being the cutest thing you ever did see, and Din is a warning in and of himself in this one. Typical show violence. Space swearing. Arguing? Mentions of injury, brief mention of blood, stitches. Mandoâa.
Word count: 4,014 (Iâm this person now, okay?)
Thank you to @fordo-kixed-rexâ, @grippingbeskarâ, and @dontletyourchildrenwatchthisâ for reading this over for me and letting me know Iâm not crazy.

âItâll only be a few hours,â you grumbled, shoving another blaster in your belt from the weapons locker.
âDo you know anything about this planet?â
You rolled your eyes, grabbing a vibroblade to tuck into your boot. âI know itâs hot.â Reaching for a thermal detonator, a gloved hand came out to grab your wrist, stopping you just short, your fingers barely scraping along its surface. With a sigh you turned your head to your left to find the Mandalorianâs helmet inches from your face.
âIâm serious,â he said in a low voice, his grip on your wrist tightening slightly.
âSo am I,â you whispered. âMando, Iâm fine. Iâve done this a few times.â He scoffed at your sarcastic remark, making you smirk. When he released your wrist, you grabbed the detonator, fixing it to the back of your belt. âBesides, like I said, thisâll be easy. In and out. This guyâs not particularly dangerous, just a bail jumper. Probably wonât even get a scratch.â
He grunted. âAnd when you come back limping, what do I get? Hmmm?â
You crossed your arms over your chest, leveling a flat glare on him. âThatâs just rude.â
âWhat?â He asked innocently, holding his hands out to the sides. âIâm not saying he would hurt you. Iâm saying youâre known toâŚ. Trip. A lot.â
After a loaded moment where you two just stared in silence, the only sound the child ambling down the ladder from the cockpit, you turned to the ramp, grumbling, âIâm going now.â
Pulling the lever to release the ramp, you stood at the top as it lowered, feeling the wall of beskar hovering closer and closer behind you until finally the modulated voice taunted by your ear, âGood luck.â
A wave of hot air rolled up into the Crest, making Grogu scrunch his face and babble as he tried to scale his guardian's armor.
Din bent down and scooped up the child, cradling him in his arms and shaking his head as the little green ward squinted at the bright sunlight pouring in the now open hull. Bringing his visor back up to meet your gaze as you made last minute adjustments to your belt, he tilted his head to the side just slightly before he added, âYouâre gonna need it.â
With a roll of your head to face back toward the unforgiving landscape, you began down the ramp, disappearing in the glare of the sun beating down on the barren tundra.
Tugging the lever to close the ship back up, the Mandalorian turned to the child in his arms as he cooed softly. Letting out a sigh, his shoulders rolling forward slightly as he still held on to the lever with one hand, he let his head fall forward toward the kid. âI know. I know, I miss her already too, little guy. But donât worry. Sheâs gonna be okay.â Bringing the hand down from the lever to rest comfortingly on the childâs front, Din patted it distractedly. âAnd sheâll be right back.â
Xxx
A few hours had come and passed while Din worked on a handful of odd repairs around the ship. He was currently under the control panel in the cockpit, laying on his back as he fiddled with the wiring under the console.Â
Grogu was playing with his ball in the copilot's chair, chittering happily about something or other.Â
Looking down toward the child, Din sighed, pulling Groguâs attention to him. âDonât worry. Sheâs just running a little late. Thatâs all.â
The kid tilted his head as he hummed questioningly at the Mandalorian. âSheâs just a little late,â Din repeated, a bit more forcefully. âThatâs all.â Looking back up at the mess of wiring overhead, he stared at it absently, his voice quiet. âDonât worry.â
Xxx
More time had passed, it was the middle of the night, and Din began to pace. There wasnât anything left on the ship to fix to occupy his time. Well, there was, but it would take hours, and youâd be back soon, probably needing to take off as soon as possible, so he didnât want to get tied up in that.
The kid blinked blearily from a nearby crate, watching his protector pace back and forth as he ate from a ration pack. He paused his snacking, offering a warm, âPatu!â when the Mandalorian stopped for a moment. Grogu grinned when the shiny visor turned toward him soundlessly, beginning to babble aimlessly as he reached back into the ration pack to pull out a piece to offer to his friend, extending it as far as his little arms could go.
âThanks, kid,â Din mumbled, taking the dried whatever it was and lifting his helmet just enough to take a small bite. He hummed in satisfaction once the modulator was back in place, the child grinning like heâd solved a dire problem for a world at war.
And in a way, Din guessed he had. It offered him peace, if only for a moment. His mind found rest, some silence for a beat, long enough to get some perspective, long enough to take a breath, and tamp down the worry niggling away at him under his armor.Â
It was an unfamiliar feeling to him, worry. Something heâd not really experienced until the child, and something he didnât altogether quite understand. Heâd been in worrying situations before, but this was different. It was removed from him. It was for something outside of himself, his control, and it drove him crazy.Â
You drove him crazy.Â
Absolutely insane.
âŚ.and he loved it.
With you gone, something was missing. Some part of him, some piece that made up the rest of him was lost, and it was like he couldnât settle, couldnât find any semblance of peace until you wereâŚ. Home.
He didnât know when or how the Crest had become home, much less when you had joined that picture, but there it was.
He needed you home.
He needed you back.
He needed youâŚ.
Just needed you.
Xxx
The child was asleep in the bunk, sealed away as Din rearranged the weapons locker for probably the seventy fifth time, or something near there, it felt like. The open spots for the weapons youâd taken out yesterday glaringly obvious no matter how he rearranged things.
With another long sigh, he moved to open the ramp, and he watched as a brilliant sunrise peeked through, streaking the reflective surfaces of the Crest in shades of pink and orange.
Heâd sighed enough to sail a ship across the seas on Kamino, he thought bitterly. Every huff of air an attempt to release pent up emotions, something longing in his chest, but all it did was fog up the inside of his visor. âŚ.Which made him sigh in frustration, doing it again, and it was a whole cycle.
A figure appeared on the horizon, and his spine straightened, attention on full alert. He hoped it was you, but since it was well past when youâd said, there was no telling at this point.
The outline looked closer much faster than anticipated, and it was then he heard the hum of a speeder engine begin to whir closer. Hand going to rest on his blaster, he drew it slowly, aiming at the rapidly approaching stranger as he pressed a button on the side of his helmet to zoom in with his display.
A fog had rolled in, concealing the features of the person atop the speeder, but something in his chest began to constrict when he thought it looked a lot like you.
As the speeder swooped to a stop in front of the ramp, Din took a cautious step forward, blaster raised and aimed as he switched the safety off.Â
The figure astride the vehicle hopped off, stumbling slightly before pushing themselves up using the seat of the bike for leverage, grunting as they went. Taking a few wobbling steps toward the ramp, finally the figure stepped out of the fog enough for Din to see who it was, and his throat was suddenly so dry, he could barely croak out your name.
You huffed out a breathy laugh before grimacing and grabbing your right side with your hand. âI know Iâm late, but, kriff, itâs no reason to shoot me, Mando.â Moaning, you slumped with your back against the speeder, head tilted back as you winced. âActually, go ahead. It might be better than this.â With a hiss through your teeth, you slid to the ground, landing with a plop onto the dusty earth, barely registering the rapid holstering of a blaster, the heavy footfalls of beskar quickly making their way down to you, or his hurried questions over your tight lipped groans as you were lifted from the ground.
âWhatâs wrong? What happened? No, kid. Get back. Go to your- kid, no.â
Opening your eyes as much as you could muster, you peeked at the kid standing at the top of the ramp, his expression drawn in concern. âIâm fine, tiny. Do what he says.â The last part of the word came out on a strangled hiss as a wave of pain jolted through you, the Mandalorian adjusting his hold under your knees and behind your back with a soft apology.Â
âI must be dying. Did Mando just apologize to me?â Reaching out, you ran your hand exaggeratedly over his helmet, patting it down like it held something youâd lost. âIs this real? Am I dreaming? Iâm hallucinating, arenât I?â
âBe quiet, meshâla,â he rumbled, setting you on the floor of the Crest before pressing a button on his vambrace to close the ramp.Â
âNo! No wait!â You said as strongly as you could. Reaching out you smashed the buttons on his vambrace until you found the right one, ignoring his protests, halting the ramp's upward movement. âMy bag. On the speeder. The quarryâŚ. Whatâs left of himâŚ.â You relaxed back onto the floor, closing your eyes.
Din shook your shoulders, making you sit up abruptly, wincing before you turned to him. âWhat does meshâla mean?â
Din hesitated only a moment. âThe quarry?â
You pointed at the speeder, your eyes shutting tight in pain. âHe grabbed the thermal detonator. Idiot. All that I could find left of him is in that bag. Iâm never using those again. The clean up isnât worth the credits.â Turning back up to his visor with knit eyebrows, you peeked up at him. âCan we put him on ice?â You shuddered. âI donât want to look at that bag ever again.â
Nodding, Din ran over and jumped off the ramp, grabbing your stuff off the speeder, and freezing the bag in carbonite as the ramp sealed shut behind him. You carelessly tossed your weapons to the side, mumbling about feeling heavy, so heavyâŚ.
When Din turned back from the chamber, you were slumped back against some crates, jaw hanging open limply. As he took a cautious step toward you, he realized your chest was barely moving with your shallow breaths.Â
Yelling your name with no response, Din closed the last few feet left between you in seconds, sliding the last foot or so on his knees, numb to anything besides the pain in his chest at the thought of you leaving him. Not like this.Â
Not today.Â
No.Â
âKid!â He said determinedly, looking across your body to find Grogu already reaching out, a few inches from you. Thatâs all that would come out. Tilting his head to the side pleadingly, Din turned his visor back down toward your face, smoothing some hair back away from your eyes.Â
Grogu understood. He always did. Putting one clawed hand on your shoulder, he closed his eyes in concentration, his already wrinkled face crinkling further.Â
Din watched in amazement as color returned to your face, a dull lifeless mask having settled over it before, your eyes fluttering open as you took a deep breath.
Your eyes darted over to Din before landing on the child, wide in wonder, but you didnât say anything.Â
Reaching out, Din nudged him off of you with a gentle push of his finger. âThanks, adâika.â Grogu blinked up at him in confusion. âIâll take it from here. You rest.â Turning back to look down at you, he wagged a finger close to your face. âDonât move.â (âLittle one.â)
âDonât think I could even if I wanted to,â you mumbled, smiling softly when he chuckled.
Getting to his feet with a quiet groan, Din got the med kit before settling back beside you. Peeling your blood soaked shirt up just enough to see the sear from the blaster shot along your side, he apologized quietly before he got to work cleaning and stitching the wound.
âYouâre lucky. They just grazed you.â
âI know,â you mumbled, looking up at the ceiling of the Crest as he worked on the side of your abdomen, wincing every now and then. âThank you. For not saying anything. I know, you warned me, I justâŚ.â
âYou justâŚ.â He repeated your words back at you questioningly when you never attempted to finish the statement.
Blinking up at him a few times, you changed the subject. âYou never told me what meshâla means.â
Din just went back to sewing you up carefully, his head tilted to the side at an odd angle to see properly. Silence settled between you, and youâd accepted thatâs how it would be - this was normal for him, after all - until he spoke so quietly you almost missed it.
âBeautiful.â
âWha-â
âIt means beautiful.â
Smiling softly, you winced when he pulled the thread taught. âAnd adi- ad- the kid? What you called him?â Stumbling over the word, you pointed to the little green face in his hammock for reference.
The Mandalorian chuckled, his voice a little louder now, but only slightly. âLittle one.â
Looking at the little one, you smiled, nodding. âIt fits. Speaking of,â you turned back to face your reflection in his visor. âWhat the hell did he do to me?â
Sucking in a sharp breath, Din paused in his work for a moment, bringing his gaze up to look at you straight on. âHeâsâŚ. Special.â
âYeah, Iâll say,â you snorted, turning back to face the child, finding him peeking over the edge of the hammock, only from his nose up showing, and of course, his ears. Smiling, you tilted your head at him affectionately. âYou could open a sideshow. Make some nice credits between quarryâs.â
âYou sound like Peli,â Din grumbled.Â
âHey, that woman has wisdom, you should listen to her.â You held up a finger while speaking, sitting up straighter, only to collapse in on yourself as Din tugged the stitches tight with a grunt and began working on them again.
Another silence settled in between you, filling the spaces between breaths with something comfortable and familiar.
âWell, Mando,â you finally decided to break it. âHave you eaten?â
âTheâŚ. The child fed me.â
You hesitated. âIâŚ. Iâm sorry?â
âYes,â he said instead, tying off the stitches as he cleared his throat, reaching for a gauze pad to cover them. âAnd itâs Din.â
You blinked at him, your mind failing to keep up with the last few topics, especially still struggling with the image of the tiny baby feeding the giant beskar warrior. Amusing as it was. âIâm so lost.â
The Mandalorian stayed silent as he used some adhesive to keep the pad on your side, smoothing it down gently with a gloved hand. He fumbled in the kit for something else, but you couldnât see, your pant leg being tugged by impossibly small green hands drawing your attention away.
The child ambled up into your lap and settled, giggling when you yelped at a sharp pain in your side. Looking down you saw the Mandalorian withdrawing a bacta shot and letting your shirt fall back down to cover it before turning your fury up toward his visor.Â
âMy name,â he explained simply. âItâs Din.â
âThat hurt!â Your face crumpled from anger to nothing. âWait. What?â
âYou heard me,â he said tiredly, but amused, as he collected the used items and the kit, taking them back over to the corner they came from.Â
âI did,â you nodded, staring at the floor. âAndâŚ. Wait. What?â Looking back over at him, you groaned as you pushed yourself up with the help of some crates at your back.Â
Groguâs hand resting on your cheek instantly relieved some of the pain, pulling your focus down to him. âThat will never not be amazing,â you breathed with a smile.
Din rushed over, helping you to sit on top of the boxes youâd just used as leverage.
âSit,â you demanded, finger pointed at him.Â
With a sigh, he obliged, plopping on the crate next to you gracelessly.
âExplain.â
âWhen I was born, my parents had to give me a moniker-â
âDonât make me shoot you.â
With the heaviest sigh youâd heard yet, he leaned back against the hull of the Crest. He looked so tired.
When he began speaking, it was the softest voice youâd ever heard him use, and somehow that made you pay more attention than anytime heâd yelled at you in the middle of a firefight.
âWhen you were goneâŚ. I realized something.â
ââŚ.Be more cryptic. Please.â You sassed when he didnât continue after a long moment, only raising your eyebrows at him when he rolled his visor toward you with as much attitude as you had just voiced. The kid squeaked something as his own contribution, pulling your eyes down to him, and you pointed at him, nodding in agreement before looking back at Man- Din. âYeah!â
Din couldnât help the snort of laughter that escaped as he turned his head back to look across the lower level of the Crest at nothing in particular.
âI donât know what I would doâŚ. If I lost you. If I really lost you.â He looked down at his hands as he fiddled with the ends of his gloves needlessly. âIâveâŚ. Iâve only ever felt that way about the kid, and- and I honestly donât know what to do with this.â He looked at you again, and somehow this time you could feel his eyes on you, not just the weight of his visor. âDonât know how.â
Holding his gaze in silence, you let his words sink in. Itâs a lot to process. In reality, itâs not much, but emotionally, you need a minute. Everything you thought you knew about this man has just been turned on its head, and you justâŚ. Need a minute.Â
When you didnât say anything, Din nodded silently, going to rise from the crate when you reached out to stop him, hand resting over his. Opening your mouth, you stared at your reflection in his visor, then turned your face to look at the floor as if it held the words you needed.
From the corner of your eye you saw Dinâs shoulders deflate, roll forward in defeat, but you put a stop to that with a squeeze of his hand in yours. Weaseling your fingers into his clenched fist to open it, you threaded them with his, holding tight while you searched for the words, using the grip as an anchor while you took a leap.
âDin,â you tried, smiling at the way it felt rolling off your tongue, enjoying the way he squeezed your hand at the sound, and his breath stuttered through the modulator.
âDin,â you said more confidently, unable to shake the smile as you go on. âThere is nothing I can think of that would make me happier in the entire galaxy than anything you just told me.â Pulling your eyes up toward his visor, you looked at him through your lashes, face still down towards the floor. âWhen Iâm here, on this piece of shit ship-â
âWatch it,â Din mumbled good-naturedly.
â-I have never felt safer or more at home anywhere in my life.â Lifting your face up to him in some insane wave of courage, you squeezed his hand again. âAnd whether thatâs as your friend, orâŚ. Whatever,â you tucked your face into your chest for a moment to hide the smile thatâs not going anywhere. âIâm just honored to get to be a part ofâŚ. This.â You gestured around the ship then between the two of you and a sleeping Grogu in your arms with your joined hands before resting them back on his knee softly. âDin,â you mumbled around another grin, unable to shake the renewed pull of your lips no matter how you tried. âIâm honored to know you.â
After staring at one another for a long moment, Din finally shook his head in amusement, gently tugging you closer by your joined hands. âWell thatâs all nice, butâŚ. I was thinking of something a little moreâŚ. Personal.â
âOh, thank the Force,â you said in relief, letting your eyes flutter shut as he rested his forehead against yours. âNer cyare.â (âMy beloved.â)
Din pulled away slightly, tilting his head at you in question.Â
You just kept grinning. âElek, Ni jorhaa'i Mando'a.â (âYes, I speak Mando'a.â)
Shaking his head at you, he began to chuckle. âMir'sheb,â he mumbled. âThen why ask me all about what I said?â (âSmartass.â)
âI just wanted to see if you would tell me. Youâre always so secretive.â You narrowed your eyes at him playfully. âPlus, it also seemed kind of important to you, so I didnât want to ruin it.â
Din tilted his head to the side as he stared at you, shaking it in disbelief and amusement. âWell, way to go with that.â
The smile wasnât going anywhere, and you didnât mind. âI also know Huttese, Jawaese, and- oh, what else? What would you like to hear, Iâll see if I can make it happen.â
Tilting his beskar back against your soft skin, he watched as your lashes fluttered to look up at him. Despite being so close, and not truly being able to see him through the visor, he felt like you really could. And for the first time in his life, he didnât want to hide from that feeling.Â
âI just want to hear about your hunt while we get off this hellhole,â he mumbled, standing and lifting the child from your arms. Tucking him into his hammock before sealing him in, he turned back to find you standing at the ladder to the cockpit, looking at it like itâd wronged you. âWhatâs wrong?â
Looking up into his visor, you pouted. âI donât think I can get up there with these stitches pulling against me the whole way up.â
âOh, come on,â he teased, touching his forehead to yours one more time briefly simply because he could now, then turning you to face the ladder and mumbling right into your ear as he crowded in behind you. âYou just got shot today, and youâre complaining about stitches?â
âIâm not complaining, itâs a genuine concern,â you mumbled, fighting another grin trying to tug up the corners of your lips.
âWell, donât be concerned,â he lilted, taking a step closer and making you begin up the ladder with nowhere left to go but up. âIâm right behind you, the whole way. I wonât let you fall.â His voice softened as you began climbing the ladder, and true to his word, he stayed behind you, almost caging you in the whole way. âDonât worry.â
âI can see that,â you mused, climbing up into the cockpit with a soft smile. âIâm not.â
Din brushed past you, settling into the pilotâs seat, beginning the take off sequence. âNow. Tell me about this quarry.â
You sighed, plopping into the copilot seat with a roll of your eyes. âOh, you would not believe the chaos that started from the moment- the moment-â you held up your finger, pausing for emphasis as you closed your eyes for dramatic effect, âI was off this ship.â
Din spun in his seat to face you as the ship began to lift off, his voice smug. âTry me.â

Silly Love
Hello!!! Here we go with a request from an anon for my Comeback Event!! Thank you so much for your request anon! It was such a delight to write!
Here is the request: âAAAAH i'm so excited for this event!!!! I wanted to request Ben Barnes with the Idiots In love trope!! like maybe they do interview together or we spot them publicly and they're so blushing and happy together that they forget to stay low in the public eye !! thank you so much Carole for giving us some fan content i love and appreciate your work so much â¤ď¸â
This is so adorable, honestlyâŚ
****
Pairing: Ben Barnes x reader
Warnings: so much fluff your teeth will rot
Summary: you and Ben are giving a series of interviews for a project youâve filmed together. But as the day goes by, itâs harder and harder for the two of you to remain serious and not act like the two fools in love that you areâŚ
Word count: 3447
There was something in the way you spoke that always felt so reassuring to him.
Ben wasnât certain of what it was exactly. The sound, the tone, the octave, the rhythm⌠He didnât know what it was about your voice that simply⌠soothed him. He merely had to listen to you, close his eyes, and everything else would disappear.
He remembered the first time he heard it. It was through his TV screen. It didnât feel the same then. It lacked the gentle imperfections your voice carried in real life. Still, he remembered watching the whole show you were playing in simply to listen to your voice.
One of these magic tricks of yours.
He should have been paying attention to what you were saying, to what the journalist was asking too. But as he stared at you, he simply forgot about anything else in the room but you. He stared at your eyelashes as they moved with each of your small blinking movements. He studied the curve of your nose, the line of your jaw, the colour of your lips. He knew how soft they felt against his. He fought against the sudden urge to simply cradle your neck, turn your head towards him, and kiss you until none of you could breatheâŚ
You turned to him, and he fell into your eyes. Impossible to look away. Impossible to breathe at all. It felt like drowning, but in a wonderful way. Like falling forever and never wanting to hit the ground.
He didnât even notice the way a dreamy smile formed on his lips. He was resting his chin in his palm, his elbow resting on the wooden armrest of his chair, set right next to yours.
He saw you tilting your head slightly, frowning a littleâŚ
He recognized those signs. It meant that you were waiting for an answer to something he had not been listening toâŚ
âBen? What do you think?â you repeated.
He shook himself, straightening up again, and blushing terribly.
âI⌠I am terribly sorry. I did not listen to the question,â he apologised, letting out an embarrassed laugh.
You soon joined him, chuckling while the interviewer repeated her question. You hid your embarrassment behind your handsâŚ
You knew perfectly well why Ben had not been listening. He wasnât paying attention.
You could hear his excuse, he gave it to you every time he wasnât listening to you.
Itâs not my fault if youâre too gorgeous to look at for me to focus on anything else.
And sometimes, you wondered if he truly meant that. Of course, you took it as a charming and flirty excuse. But there were moments when he would just stare at you the way he just did⌠maybe he was merely gawking at you, for real.
âWell, I was very happy to work with Y/N,â he answered, and you realized that, this time, you had been the one who wasnât paying attention to the journalist sitting before you. âI had been admiring her work for a while so⌠huh⌠I was very curious to learn how she built her characterâs presence, how she approached her roles. And it⌠it turns out that she is also an amazing human being so⌠I am a very happy man, indeed.â
You struggled to refrain a smile at his words. You knew perfectly well that you made him a happy man because of your blossoming relationship, not because of your talents as an actor.
You noticed the smirk that appeared on his lips, and knew that you were not doing a great job at hiding your emotions. A mix of satisfaction and embarrassment and shynessâŚ
He adored it. He was so proud of himself for making you look like this. You were so adorable thenâŚ
You had not made your relationship official. Ben and you were both adamant in keeping your private lives private. Besides, you had met while working on this movie, and you didnât want your relationship in your real lives to become a tool to promote the film. So, you were both determined to keep your relationship secret, for now.
You had to admit though that sitting next to Ben all day long, in a rather dark room, made it very difficult for you to act like the two of you were mere friends.
âWhat did you take home with you from set at the end of filming?â the interviewer asked, apparently oblivious of your inner battles.
âI took home some⌠small things that were on set⌠I donât think I should tell you in details,â Ben laughed. âBut I have one of my suits. Letâs⌠letâs say that.â
âWhat about you, Y/N?â
You thought for a second, but couldnât stop yourself from answering as honestly as you could.
âWonderful people.â
Ben and you exchanged a tender smile.
You were both resting your arms on the armrests of your chairs, and Ben used your proximity to brush his pinky finger against yours, ever so slightly, so no one in the room would notice.
The gesture was there though, tender and intimate, and you grinned at each other. Ben was blushing fiercely again.
âHow nice!â commented the journalist.
âSee? Told you. Sheâs amazing,â Ben nodded, making you roll your eyes.
âYou have such an amazing chemistry on screen. I think itâs one of the biggest charms about this film, to be honest. And it must be hard to navigate through a love story between two characters. How did you manage that? How did you establish this connection?â
Ben cleared his throat and you saw him looking up at the ceiling, looking for a lie.
After all, he couldnât answer with the truth. He couldnât answer with: well, we both genuinely fell in love with each other off-screen, so it wasnât hard to pretend to be madly in love on-screen. No, that couldnât workâŚ
You wanted to help him, find your own answer, but you were quite taken aback by the question as well. You were thinking about all these long evenings spent together in his apartment, drinking tea, or sometimes whiskey, and talking for hours and hours; failing to notice that the night was flying by. All those mornings laughing with him in make-up. Listening to his sweet voice as he sang on his piano during the weekend. The long walks on Sunday afternoons. And this feeling that kept on growing and growing, but you couldnât possibly imagine that he felt the sameâŚ
And then, the comments of your friends about the two of you. The fact that you had become so close so quickly, that you wanted to spend so much time with him, that you didnât think about dating anymore. The realization that struck you like a punch in the stomach that you were not having a mere crush, but were falling desperately, hopelessly, irrevocably in love with your co-star. The doubts, the long days spent thinking that he could never feel the same.
Until that Sunday afternoon when he sang this bloody song he had written, and you sat next to him while he played on his piano and⌠you just couldnât stop yourself.
Your first kiss. It tasted like sunlight, tea and soft music.
You were brought back to the real world when Ben finally spoke.
âWe talked a lot about the most intimate scenes, and the most emotional scenes too. Huh⌠we⌠we really wanted to be on the same page, and to be sure that we were both comfortable and able to express in the best way what our characters were feeling. And I think that level of understanding was very important. And⌠you know just⌠trusting each other. Huh⌠and then we simply became very good friends so it made everything pretty easy.â
You couldnât refrain your tender smile as you stared at him while he spoke. You drank every word. You studied his dark hair you loved messing up with your fingers so much, his short beard you adored against your skin, the angle of his jaw, the corner of these lips you wanted to kiss all the damn timeâŚ
You shook yourself, trying to pay attention to the interview again.
âAlright a few fun questions now,â the interviewer said, a smile on her lips. âIâll ask you some questions and you have to answer with the first thing that comes to your minds, at the same time, on the count of three. Sounds good for you?â
âSure, sounds fun,â you answered, smiling as well.
âAlright. Tea or coffee? One, two, threeâŚâ
âTea.â
âCoffee.â
You rolled your eyes at Benâs answer, and he did the same because of you.
âThat bloody, tasteless hot water,â you complained.
âI love coffee too.â
âBut you prefer tea.â
âI do prefer tea.â
âVery clichĂŠ for a Brit.â
âTrue⌠Iâm not going to try to deny that.â
The two of you exchanged a teasing smile, before focusing on the journalist again, waiting for her next question.
âYour favourite thing about each other. One, two, threeâŚâ
âHis kindness.â
âHer kindness.â
You both gasped at your matching answers.
âYou are extremely kind, like⌠too kind, honestly. Very patient as well,â you nodded, and Ben was grinning at your words.
It was the kind of radiant smiles that were almost blinding.
âYou are way too sweet. And just so⌠so genuinely nice. In the best way,â Ben added, his grin turning into something softer as he stared at you. âYouâre always trying to make sure everyone around you is happy and well. You have a very generous soul. I love that about you.â
âAwwâŚâ you couldnât help it when you reached for his hand and gave it a tender squeeze.
âNow, what is the thing you dislike the most about each other?â the journalist asked once you were looking at her again. âOne, two, threeâŚâ
âNothing.â
âHeâs so distracting.â
Ben looked at you in shock while you and the interviewer were laughing so much.
âWow⌠I was not expecting that one,â Ben admitted. âI was being so nice to you, I said ânothingâ! Did you hear that?â he added, turning to the interviewer. âI canât believe it...â
âYou really are so distracting though.â
âIâm very focused when I work,â he argued.
âYou have the whole shouting-to-get-into-character thing,â you started, counting on your fingers.
âOh⌠yeah⌠thatâs right. I see how that can be quite distractingâŚâ he admitted, and you saw him starting to blush again.
âYouâre always in peopleâs face, or touching me, or hugging meâŚâ
âThatâs nice though!â
âItâs nice, but still distracting.â
You raised a third finger.
âAnd youâre very handsome. It doesnât help.â
His smile turned tender again, the tips of his ears turning red.
âThank you, thatâs nice.â
âDo you want to change your answer?â the journalist asked Ben with humour.
âI think Iâll say that sheâs too honest sometimes.â
You all laughed.
âYou never think before speaking,â Ben went on, still laughing. âItâs hilarious.â
âI am hilarious.â
âYou truly are. But it gets you into so much trouble sometimes. Do you remember when we were at this restaurant and you thought the couple at the table next to ours were father and daughter?â
You doubled with laughter, hiding your face in your hands.
âThat was so embarrassing.â
âYouâre so loudâŚâ
âI was tipsy!â
âDrunk. You were full-on drunk.â
âNo, I wasnât! I was very tipsy but I was not drunk.â
âAnyway, you said this so loudly and the look they sent us!â
You were both laughing so much, both of you forgetting all about the interview.
âI just wanted to disappear.â
âYou really get us into so much trouble sometimesâŚâ
âBut you like it. You would be bored otherwise.â
âJust like I bet you love it when I distract you.â
âThatâs quite true.â
You and Ben intertwined your fingers together, holding hands, and Ben brushed tenderly the back of your hand with his thumb. You didnât think about what the gesture could mean for the rest of the world. You were too busy getting lost in his dark eyes.
The journalist interrupted your thoughts though as she spoke again. You separated your two hands, movements made slow by reluctance.
âWhatâs the last emoji you sent to the other? One, two, three.â
âLaughing face.â
âKiss emoji.â
You frowned hard at Ben.
âYour last emoji was a heart, not a laughing fâŚâ
But you saw the look in his eyes and stopped talking.
He was lying on purpose⌠shootâŚ
âYes, youâre right, it was a laughing face,â you lied, but you were pretty certain that you were not convincing.
Ben tried to keep a straight face, but it was difficult.
The interview was (thankfully) over though, so the journalist left, and you bid her a good day with a handshake and a warm smile.
Ben asked for a two-minutes break before welcoming the next interviewer, pretexting that he needed to go to the bathroom, and you followed his lead.
Actually, you found refuge in the deserted staircase of the building, and both exploded with laughter in the empty space, your laughs amplified by their echoes.
âWe really need to be more careful, my love,â Ben argued, trying to be more serious again.
âYouâre right,â you nodded, letting him wrap his arms around you to draw you closer to him. âIâm sorry.â
âI am not fully innocent eitherâŚâ
âBut that emoji⌠and I said I sent you a kissing face!â
You buried your face in your hands and rested your forehead against his shoulder. Ben merely laughed.
âI donât think that was enough to start a rumour about us being together, though,â he reassured you. âBut I was right. You really need to learn to think before speakingâŚâ
You swatted him playfully on his upper arm, and he doubled with laughter.
âNow, we should go back. We still have many interviews to give. And no more hand-touching, mister!â you scolded him.
âI canât help it,â he complained. âBesides, before we go back, I really need to do something first. Something Iâve been dying to do ever since we entered this room, because⌠you are so beautiful like this, loveâŚâ
You gave him a flirtatious smile, knowing perfectly where this conversation was heading.
âAnd what could that be, honey?â
âThis.â
He leaned down to kiss you tenderly on the lips, a hand climbing up your body to rest gently against your cheek, cupping your jaw to guide your face towards his again when you tried to break the kiss. You lost your fingers in his hair, messing with the dark locks, but none of you cared.
Kissing him felt too amazing for you to care about anything but his lips.
âHoney? What are you doing? Hurry up, I want to watch the movie!â
You wore your most annoyed tone, but heard Ben chuckling from the corridor anyway. You couldnât refrain a smile at the sound, even if you were trying to act like you were annoyed. It was too warm, too reassuring for you to feel anything but happy whenever you heard his laughter.
You rearranged the covers of Benâs bed, waiting patiently for him to finally join you so you could start watching a cute romantic comedy you had found on Netflix. But he seemed to be taking foreverâŚ
He finally appeared, wearing nothing but a pair of dark boxers, and you couldnât help it when you let your gaze roam the length of his body. His hair was dishevelled from the shower he had taken after dinner, and you loved it. He was staring at his phone as he walked in the room, but looked up to catch the sight of you lying there, cosy and warm in his bed.
Best sight on Earth, he reckonedâŚ
He slipped in the bed with you, and you greeted him with a grin and a peck on the lips. But you frowned as he focused on his phone again.
âIs everything alright?â you asked, snuggling in his side as he raised his arm for you to settle in his embrace.
âYeah, just⌠was checking on some comments on a couple of interviews we did together the other day, you remember?â
âWhen it was just the two of us?â
Ben nodded, eyes still fixed on his screen.
His hand was drawing mindless patterns across the small of your back. It was comforting, soothing⌠it reminded you that he truly was there, by your side.
It had been a few weeks now since you had recorded these interviews, but of course you remembered. It had been proper torture to seat next to Ben all day without being able to touch him, to speak your mind, to remind him that you loved himâŚ
âSure, what about them?â you asked dropping a kiss on his chest, and you smirked at the sight of the smile that formed on his lips under your touch.
âWell⌠a couple of friends have warned me that some comments are⌠quite⌠accurateâŚâ
You frowned hard, leaning closer to look at his phone, and he turned the screen in your direction so you could read the comments too.
Your eyes grew round.
I bet Ben and Y/N are more than friends⌠have you seen that chemistry?
The way Ben just gawked at Y/N for two full minutes, not listening to anything she or the interviewer said, is a big mood. Also, theyâre in love.
Lol, when they held hands at 6:30, Iâm dead, thx!
Not the type to start rumours but⌠are these two together? Like⌠irl?! Because they seem like a real couple trying their absolute best to hide how infatuated they are with each other⌠and failing.
Ben and you exchanged a glance.
âOhâŚâ you breathed.
âI think we⌠have blown our cover, love,â Ben joked.
You were afraid he would be mad, but he seemed amused by the situation, more than anything elseâŚ
âYouâre not panicking? Or annoyed? Or angry?â you carefully asked.
He noticed your wary tone, and looked down at you, before dropping a kiss in your hair.
âNo, I donât care, to be honest.â
âI thought we had decided to keep all this a secret.â
âYes, well⌠I donât mind. I love you, thatâs all that matters.â
You tightened your hold on him, making him chuckle.
âI love you too,â you whispered against the skin of his neck, closing your eyes as you deeply breathed in the sugary scents of his soap and shampoo.
âDo you mind terribly that everyone is figuring things out about us?â he asked, and this time he was the one wearing a cautious tone.
âNot really, actually. I thought it would stress me out, but I donât really care.â
You exchanged a loving smile, and he brushed his nose and his cheek against your forehead, making you heave a content sigh.
âBy the way⌠I want to watch these two full minutes where you are⌠how did they say that? Oh, yes⌠gawking at me,â you teased him, a cheeky grin on your lips, while he exploded with laughter.
âIâve watched it,â he confessed, his eyes tightly closed and his head thrown back in embarrassment, trying to hide from you, but you could still see that he was fiercely blushing. âIâve watched it and I canât believe Iâve stared at you like that in publicâŚâ
âIs it that bad?â
âYes, it is.â
âYouâre so sweet⌠so cheesyâŚâ
âOh, shut up!â he grumbled, making you laugh.
âI want to watch it, give me your phone.â
âAbsolutely not!â he protested, extending his arm so the device would remain out of reach.
âBen! Give it to me!â
âNo!â
âI can also just use my own phoneâŚâ
âNo⌠noâŚâ
He grabbed you by the waist when you reached for your phone on your bedside table, pulling you towards him and making you both fall on the mattress.
You were both laughing so much by now.
âNo! Donât watch it!â
âIf you start tickling me, I swear to God, you will soon be a dead manâŚâ
âIâll find another way to distract you, thatâs alrightâŚâ
âStop kissing me like thatâŚâ
âReally? You want me to stop?â
âNo⌠not reallyâŚâ
âHmmm⌠thought so⌠Y/N!â
âI got the phone! When is it? WHEN IS IT?â
âNOOOO!â
Ben kept on attacking you with waves of kisses and tickles, but you held his phone in hostage, and he ended up losing the war, as you watched the full video together. He expected you to laugh at him, but you didnât. You simply kissed him hard and tender on the lips, and snuggled into his arms.
It was a happy evening, in a life full of loveâŚ

Idk if requests are close but
Rayne Ames knows the problem already, but wants to make the reader(gn!) like to accept or confess to him about the problem. Like he wants to hear it and won't judge you
safe space. rayne ames
content. hurt/comfort. one swear word rayne blurted out. vague mentions of self-loathing (i don't know what you intend for a problem anon but this is what i came up with) nothing too specific. rayne is just so caring and tender will forever write him extra soft til my last breath.
i may or may not write what u wish for bc of how vague this req is but know i tried đ
there are problems that bite your skin enough for you to attend to it immediately.
immediately as in rayne will always be the first person you turn to and that he'll be the one to soothe you and your skin, to be able to feel like it's not just yours to manage. because with rayne, it's never just about you. it's always a we, an us problem.
but there are problems that doesn't fit this description. sometimes it's a problem stuck to the wall but never quite noticing, only etched into the back of your mind. so close and yet so far.
as if you're hiding your skin, and that adds another layer of problem for rayne ames.
itâs not that he doesnât understandâbecause he does. always loving you in places youâre wounded, of wars and storms breaking within you, itâs his own battles too. always we. always us.
your back is facing him in the harshness of the night, itâs frigid cold, he shifts position and stare at you. hoping youâll notice the ache dwelling in his eyes, the space between you bellowing the emptiness that shouldnât exist first and foremost.
youâre so close and yet so far.
there is a notion forming in the backdrop of his mind that's half-baked. but he gets you, and he'll never stop trying for you. because things can hurt and rayne doesn't have the words in him to describe how much it affects him as well.
he already gave you space for days, but it seems like you're stretching it far too much.
"hey." rayne slices the silence, soft and pleading, a hand presses gently on your back, moving in slow circles. "i know you're still awake. talk to me."
the blanket falls loose on your upper arm, so he draped over until he notices that you're shaking. and it's not because of the cold atmosphere, but because you're holding back the tears brimming in the corner of your eyes, trembling breaths clasped against your hand. he sits up, alert coursing his veins. "hey, hey, what's wrong? shit-" he inhales deeply, calling your name. "come here, talk to me please."
he lifts you up, and you shake your head wearily, a contrast to your winter drenched hands clinging to his shirt as he pulls you in. tears streaming down your face, your attempts of pushing him away are futile. "i'm sorry i'm soâ" you choke back a sob, piles of words burning on your throat. "i'm so sorry"
"what are you sorry for?" he tells you to breathe, letting you cry it all out. it takes a while to calm down, but when you do, all that he thinks of is that he can finally feel whole again, to bask in knowing it's not just him, not just you, but problems of us. of you and me.
"it's..." after a long pause, your voice cracks the darkness kept in you. "it got loud again. i'm sorry."
it's no longer skin. it's a bone-deep cut that you have in which rayne rarely sees, but he knows its there. a wallpaper in his subconscious. he swallows the guilt down too hard that it's noticeable, the bob of his adams apple against your shoulder and the prompt squeeze as he cradles your head. you're not able to get a glance of his expression, but you may as well feel it's one in pain. it hurts you just as much as it hurts him.
and that's why you're apologizing, for having him to see you this way. in a place of the broken and bruises. in a place you thought you have crawled yourself out a long time ago.
"don't."
"...huh?"
more quietly but also securely, the words seem to reverberate down to your skin, to your bones, "don't apologize. especially for this." eyes turning a little misty as he reassures you, nothing but genuine care he has for you. "never."
he fetches you a glass of water (a kiss to the back of your hand that have warmed up by now before he can go) and once he plops down beside you, you mumble. "thank you."
"of course."
he meets your gaze and within them, all forms of loving exist; loving you at your best and loving you at your worst. this one's the latter, but that it's almost the same as to the former. because he never sees you any differently, and that's something you want to keep in the special lock of your heart.
when you both get ready for bed as he enwrap you in a world of closeness, removing any possible distance that eats his insides, it feels like home again. he brought you back to where you truly belong.
"you may not understand this, but believe me," rayne plants a loving kiss to your forehead. "i'm proud of you, so much."
you bury yourself in his neck as a response, holding his waist tightly. this is what he has been teaching himself just for you, to construct words that encompasses how he feels. and every day, it blossoms continually.
"thank you" you sniff. perhaps you'll teach yourself to fall more freely into him. because your battles are of his own, even the ones that you thought are better left aloneâalways we, always us.
notes. this is so flowery with all the poetic metaphors but haha can't help myself. i clearly projected here a little.

errrm rat anon here
ive been seeing a lot of 141 x chubby reader recently and I think that's really awesome but I've nevere been able to find a x reader where the reader is fem but masculine looking? (this is totally not self indulgent) like she has broad shoulders and is like pretty tall and lanky not exactly hour glass figure y'know? shes not the thickest and is apart of the itty bitty titty committy
i love your work so much and I just kinda want a 141 x reader that has that body type and is a little insecure about it
if you don't want to do this that's perfectly okay! I hope your doing amazing and I heart youuuuuu:)
i totally agree, yes of course! also i'm so sorry but i am just familiarizing myself with the 141 characters so i'll do just simon rn and the others later. i'll boomerang back to you, diva!!!!!!!! also hi rat anon. how are the sewers? i crown you second anon to fall into my TRAP
insecure
Picking at a bleeding hangnail, your weary eyes glazed over the table you were currently sitting atâ All too fatigued and tired and fuckinâ annoyed to notice Ghost pulling up a seat next to you. Your head ached, tilting up to meet his eyes.Â
âHi.â You groaned, going back to picking at your nails immediately after. Simon raised an eyebrow, leaning over to pat your shoulder. âHey.â An underlying concern was clear, but in your state, he might as well have not even been your lover in that moment.
He shrugged, looking up into the white sterile lights of the facility, before hesitantly addressing you again. â..Are yaâ alright?â You said nothing, as if you might shatter into a trillion little glass shards if you spoke; your teeth biting into your lips.
âIâmâŚâ You start, arms wrapping around your body loosely. âI donât look, um, good.â Your body is rigid, filled with anxiousness and conscious what-ifsâ before you force more word vomit out. âYou know?â Not a second passes before Simon spits out, âNo, I donât know.â
âIâm like.. Lanky, broad shoulders⌠and Iâm not even feminine-lookingâ I donât even have much to give, Iââ Instantly, he lifts up his mask, his lips pressing into yours, hands cradling your cheeks as if you were a Greek statue and he was your sculptor.
He leans in, a light chuckle leaving his mouth. âHm? And whatâs bad about that, birdie?â Your lips feel ziptied, unable to fight his persistent (and seemingly eternally unceasing) love for you.
âYouâre gorgeous. Anâ who cares anyway, who else needs to like your body but you?â Simon says, his hand reaching out to squeeze your shoulder, and then quickly pulls you in his muscled arms tight.Â
You stay silent, your cheeks flushing an embarrassingly bright red.
âThatâs what I thought.â

Losing my religion
Osferth x reader
Summary: After fearing you lost to battle Osferth makes his affections known before regret colours his actions. He is Saxon, and you are Dane, it can never be.
Requested: yes, by anon
Word count: 1.5k
The air was rife with the stench of blood and death, Osferth himself was covered in the grim aftermath of battle. He was aching and exhausted, mind and limbs begging for him to lie down and sleep. Yet he could not allow himself to retire, not until he had found you. Had verified for himself that you were alive and well.
Stumbling, his eyes poured over the faces of corpses and he desperately called your name, praying to God that you had not been taken from him. The longer he searched, the more he began to despair that the Valkyrie had claimed you for Valhalla.
Even as Finan dragged him back towards camp, promising your place there, he could not help but to fear for the worst. To fear that he would never see you again. Lost to an afterlife that he would not be a part of.
"What is your heaven like?" you suddenly asked, taking him by surprise. He had been lost staring into his ale when your voice reached his ears. Turning his head he felt his heart stutter at the sincere curiosity in your eyes.
"Why do you wish to know?" he finally managed to reply. Grinning you had punched him lightly on the shoulder and then said
"I need to know if I am to break into your heaven and demand better accommodations for my baby monk." It took a few seconds for your ridiculous words to sink in but when they did he found himself unable to provide an answer, too lost in the complete sincerity on your face.
My baby monk. He knew you had likely meant it in a teasing way, yet he could not deny the warmth that had filled him at the possessive word.
Your grin faded slightly at his lack of response before you gently took one of his hands in your own, "I must also admit, selfishly, I do not know how I will bear a life without you by my side, but the knowledge that you would be happy will have to be enough."
Osferth could not say when he had fallen in love with you, because his worry had finally proved to him that that was what he felt for you, but he thinks it may have been that night in the alehouse. Or perhaps it had been your tenacity, battle prowess, or sincere curiosity and respect for his god.
He is not given the opportunity to fully process his feelings before he finally spots you. He was running before he even realised, calling your name with a feverish desperation that had you turning to him in alarm.
"Osferth what?" you don't get to finish your question before he is sweeping you into his arms, crushing you against his chest. He buries his face into you, uncaring of the sweat and gore covering you. Suddenly his mind is screaming that it isn't enough and he is pulling back to cradle your face in his hands before leaning in to catch you in a bruising kiss.
He pays no mind to the jeering shouts that echo around the two of you, lost in the softness of your lips against his. His mind is blissfully silent, any thoughts that weren't pertaining to the feeling of your embrace completely drowned out. The feeling of you eagerly kissing him back, one hand pulling him closer by the tunic and the other gently tugging at his hair. One of your thighs had moved to slot between his legs, the shock of it finally pulling him out of his trance and causing him to jump away as if he'd been burned.
Shamefully he is immediately drawn to the hazy look in your eyes, swollen lips and heaving chest as you attempt to recover from his unexpected attack.
"Osferth?" you called confusion, lust and hurt all warring within yourself. Suddenly the illusion is shattered, your voice grounding him back in reality. Heaven and Valhalla, Saxon and Dane. As much as he craves your companionship, your being, your very soul to claim as his he knows he cannot, his god and yours would undoubtedly frown upon such a union.
"Osferth?" you called once more attempting to reach for him, voice tinged with a shy hesitation that was incredibly uncharacteristic. He cannot bear to see the apprehension on your face any longer and in turning to escape his own shame misses the devastation that overcomes your being at his departure.
"Did I do something wrong?" you whispered in anguish, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill down your cheeks. Finan had been quick to pull you into his own arms, loudly decrying Osferth as a twat as he attempted to soothe your hurt and anger.
Finan had spent the better half of two hours pulling you from your sorrow and then talking you off the ledge from killing the baby monk. Yet as he laid eyes upon the boy Finan felt as if he might just finish the job himself, Sihtric definitely would have.
But as he observed for a little longer, intent on remaining calm, it quickly became apparent that Osferth was just as, if not more miserable than you.
"That was quite a show you put on back there baby monk" he called, moving to claim the empty seat across from the boy whilst stealing his ale. Although his words were teasing his tone was anything but. Osferth's face drops even more, free hand coming up to clutch at the cross hanging from his neck. He doesn't respond though and Finan was suddenly too tired to be patient.
"You made them cry" Osferth physically recoiled at that, "running off like that. Damn near broke their heart. What the hell is wrong with you?" the anger was back once more, driven by the image of your tear-stained cheeks.
"They were crying?" Osferth's voice was pitiful and Finan cursed God for making him care for such an inept idiot.
"Of course they were crying! They love you!" the Irishman all but yelled, "and I know you love them, so what's stopping you lad?" he ends on a softer note, having noticed the turmoil in the ex-monk as he gained the sinking feeling he knew exactly what the issue was.
"I thought I'd lost them today" Osferth whispered, "and I think it's the first time I've truly realised that once that happens... I will never see them again. Not in heaven."
"So you would sacrifice yours and their happiness whilst you are alive?" Finan probed.
"I-"
"You deserve happiness Osferth, don't deny yourself on the uncertainties of death." Finan firmly interrupts, only to watch in confusion as Osferth's gaze travels past his shoulder. Turning he is met with the sight of you, eyes still red-rimmed and puffy from your tears. He sees your face scrunched slightly in pain before you swiftly turn to exit.
Luckily Osferth does need prompting to bolt after you and Finan can only hope he does not fuck up again.
Sprinting as best he can Osferth repeatedly calls your name, forcing himself to move faster when you completely ignore him. He quickly manages to catch up, gently tugging at your arm until the two of you are secluded from prying eyes.
"Osferth I am tired" you gently plead, attempting to pull back from his grasp. Yet after seeing you, seeing the damage he had done he cannot bear to let you go again.
"No please, just listen" he begs, one hand reaching up to gently grasp your face, a move you cannot help but to lean into. You stay silent, though you do not pull away and Osferth takes that as permission to continue.
"I'm sorry" he starts, only to wince as you scoff. "Not for kissing you, never for that" he quickly rectifies, "for being a coward, for leaving you, for letting you think I did not... love you" he whispered, finally confessing to you as well as himself.
"Then why-" you shook your head, still wary from your earlier hurt.
"I told you, I was a coward. I let god get in the way of-" this time it is you who cuts him off.
"Oh Osferth no. I could never let myself come between you and your god, I know how important your beliefs are" you reached up to grasp at his hand still holding your cheek. The understanding that had suddenly washed over your face was enough to bring tears to the corners of his own eyes. What had he done to deserve such kindness, to deserve your care he did not know. What he did know, however, was that you had to have been an angel.
"You are the most important thing in this life" he asserted, leaning his forehead against your own. "Let me be the most important thing in yours" he begged.
"You already are" you promise, leaning in to kiss him once more, everything else lost to the pair of you as you allowed yourselves to finally drown in one another.

Enjoy (:
The dishes had piled up in your kitchen sink. They had been bothering you all day, so with a sigh, you got up and went over to address them. You started cleaning the dishes one by oneâŚ
Your ears perked up when you thought you heard the door move. You looked back at the kitchen door, but it hadnât moved. Odd, you thought.
Suddenly, you felt something invade you.
The feeling was hard to explain⌠Your eyes rolled back and you started levitating off the ground slightly, as a sharp, yet un-uniform, non-physical shape pierced and entered you. You let out a strangled scream as you started to feel your body go numb. You were sucked into yourself, having no control over your body anymore, somebody else was now at the wheel.
Everything around you was dark. You could still vaguely see through your eyes, but you were being pulled into the darkness more and more.
Suddenly you were pulled into a memory filled with true fear and terror. You started to shake as you were forced to relive these twisted thoughts and memories. They were warped, having heightened fear and fright. You started crying, falling to the ground and shaking uncontrollably.
You didnât know how long you were in those state, but you were cradling yourself on the ground, scared to death and sobbing uncontrollably.
Suddenly, you heard a voice, not one of your own.
âYou should not be hereâŚ!â The booming voice exclaimed.
You then felt the invasion start to be pulled out of you.
The feeling was still hard to explain⌠Your eyes rolled back and you started levitating off the ground slightly, as a sharp, yet un-uniform, non-physical shape pierced you once more, but this time exiting you. You let out a strangled scream as you started to feel your body come back to you. You were sucked back out of your depths, having finally control over your body again, the somebody else at the wheel now gone.
When your vision came back to you, you saw a tall figure with strong wings standing in front of you. You were still shaken and scared for your life. Your lip trembled and you immediately put your hands in front of your face to protect yourself.
âMy name is Lucifer.â The large being spoke softly, bringing one of their wings around you, âWhatâs your name, little thing?â
The wing around you made you oddly calmer. You felt protected. And you felt like you could finally breathe.
âI⌠Y/NâŚâ you whispered, wiping the tears away for your eyes.
Lucifer nodded slowly in understanding.
âThat is a lovely name.â They cooe, âI am sorry that you had to experience that, my sweetâŚâ
âWhat⌠W-what was thatâŚ?â You whispered.
Lucifer sighed.
âOne of my more roudy demons who got away from me.â They admitted, âIt wonât happen again. You need not worry.â They reassured you.
âNo but what was thatâŚ?â Your voice trembled as you thought back to the horrific feeling that you had felt in every bone of your body for that time.
You winced and tears threatened to spill down your cheeks once more. Lucifer sighed in sympathy.
âYou see, Demons like to thrive off of the human mind⌠And this demon specialized in fearâ They explained gently, âSo the demon pulled out your biggest fears to feed off of and survive inside you. Humans call this possession.â
Tears began to flow down your face once more. You nodded at their words.
âIt was so awfulâŚâ you choked out, your voice cracking.
Luciferâs wings held you closer and their hand came behind you to rub your back.
âI know, little oneâŚâ they cooed lovingly, âBut the demon is gone now. It will never bother you again.â
âOkâŚâ you whispered, looking up at the Lightbringer with watery eyes.
âThank youâ you choked out.
âAnytime, little oneâŚâ Lucifer gently spoke, âIâll come back to check on you soon, alrightâŚ?â
You hiccuped and nodded. Then Lucifer left and you were back in your kitchen. With your dishes.

Chefâs Kisses
(Of Fins and Feathers AU/Living Waters AU) Talos teaches Lana how to make the fish rolls she enjoyed from her picnic with Keed. Unfortunately, their date is not without interference.
Authorâs Note: Another fun fic co-written with @gallifreyianrosearkytiorsusan. This story follows up from Keedâs picnic with Lana. Every one of Lanaâs harem bonded will have their own spotlight, or at least thatâs the plan. I love this chaotic polycule so much. Lol.
~ Also, apparently gannet chicks are called gugas in Scottish. That's where I came up with the term "guglets". ~

Talos returns to the Gannet roost after his patrol. Playfully dodging the pouncing gannet younglings, he makes his way to Lana and who was looking after a small creche of fluffy hatchlings. Setting his helmet to his hip, the Alpha Legionary wraps his arms around the gannet harpy from behind and nuzzles her. Lana churrs and turns to kiss his cheek.Â
âHello Talos.â She greets him affectionately.Â
A pleased hum emits from his throat as the Alpha Legionary kisses his harpy, âHello, my cherished one. How are you?âÂ
âGood. How was your patrol?â
âIt went well, the Black Templars are in the territory, but far away from this area.â Talos rests his chin on her head.Â
She sighs and relaxes against his armored chest, âThatâs good to hear. But I am glad you returned.â
He presses a kiss to her temple, murmuring, âAlways. We will always return to you.â
âOoooooâŚâ a small chorus of voices sing which promptly dissolve into giggles when they break the coupleâs focus.Â
âUncle Talos, are you mates with Auntie Lana? You act like Ma and Pa would when they come home.â A bright-eyed fluffy chick asks.Â
âYes, my brothers and I are mates to your Auntie Lana.â He replies jovially.Â
The âoooâs became loud whispers of wonder. Lana and Talos laugh, hearing his and his brothersâ names and discussion on how Lana has so many mates at once and whoâs her favourite.Â
âAlright, alright. Little guglets shouldnât be gossiping about Auntie Lana and her mates.â An adult harpy chides the younglings as he picks up his child, thanking Lana for her care before leaving. Another few adult harpies then arrive to pick up the rest of the chicks from the creche.Â
Talos feels a tug on one of his tentacles. He looks down to see dark eyes sparkling with mischief. The chick lowered their volume to comically conspiratorial levels, âUncle Talos, can I tell you a secret?â
He chuckles and wraps a tentacle around the chick, lifting them up, indulging the youngling with a listening ear, âOf course, what secret do you want to tell me?â He whispers.Â
The fluffy guglet giggles and whispers back, âAuntie Lana really likes the rolls you make. She wants to learn to make them.â
âIs that right?â Talos asks. The guglet nodded enthusiastically.Â
âThere you are!â A voice called out. The guglet in Talosâ tentacle bounced in excitement, âMama!â
Their mother comes up to them carrying a basket of fish,âI hope Kona didnât bother you too much.��� She says, eyeing her precocious child.Â
âNot at all, Kiri.â Chuckling, Talos hands the youngling back to their mother.Â
âThank you for taking care of the guglets, Lana.â Kiri smiles. She lifts the basket to show the fish inside, âI caught a few extra skipjack, would you like to take them?âÂ
Lana shared a grin with Kona before answering their mother, âYouâre welcome, they were good little guglets today. And we would love to take the fish. Thank you, Kiri!âÂ
Mother and child say their goodbyes, then left to return to their nest. Talos looks at the few skipjacks cradled in Lanaâs wings.Â
âThese are a good size.â He commented, taking two by the tail in his large hand, lightening the load on his bonded.Â
The corners of Lanaâs eyes crinkle with amusement, âWhat are you thinking of making with them, love?â
Talos straightens his posture and smiles at her term of endearment, loosely wrapping a tentacle around her hip as they make their way back to the food prep area, âA little bird told me that you want to learn how to make the fish rolls.â He teases in a singsong voice.Â
Her crown fluffs when she remembers that she wanted to thank him for her starlight picnic with Keed, âI almost forgot! The food that you made for Keed and I was delicious. Thank you for that. That was very thoughtful of you.â
Talos preens at her compliment. Lana adds with an exasperated smile, âAnd yes, I would love to learn to make the fish rolls. That was Konaâs secret, wasnât it?â
âYes it was, my lovely Lana,â He says with a smug teasing lilt in his voice. âKona was quite pleased to tell me their little secret.â Talos pulls her closer to him, slowing down to cuddle Lana some more with a happy trilling purr. The harpy canât help but laugh and wrap a free wing around him in a half hug. She nuzzles into the merâs shoulder, giggling, her crest feathers rising, âTalos! You and Orlys are so touch-starved. You act like no one has hugged you for years!â
âWhat if no one had?â He joked back.Â
Her crest fell as Lana frowned, âOh⌠Iâm sorry, thatâs so sad.â
His hearts warm at her words; his mate is so undeniably sweet. Talos quickly pecks Lanaâs lips a few times to reassure her, âI was just teasing, love. Donât be sad for me. As long as you are willing, I am always happy to receive your hugs and caresses. Youâre my bonded and I want to spend as much time being as close as possible during my allotted time with you, and take advantage of the time when I donât have to share you with anyone else.â He purrs, nuzzling her.Â
Casting him a fond exasperated look, Lana kisses him back, âYou silly mer, then I will remember to give you more hugs and kisses when I see you. Letâs go and you can teach me how to make those rolls you made last time.â
With a grin, as Talos follows after her to the food preparation area. After putting the fish down, they take a moment to wash their hands and claws thoroughly. He happily takes his mate through the process, brandishing the skills he learned while he had been undercover as a chef at a high end restaurant. This recipe was a relatively simple one and doesnât need to take long for the food to be ready. Talos made sure to confirm that the ingredients and the food itself was something that Lana and her fellow harpies could eat without ill effects. While his Astartes biology allows him to ingest almost anything, harpies donât have the same luxury.Â
âDo we have some sort of citrus?â Talos asks as he looks for the ingredients to marinate for the fish with. Lana hands him a few yuzus.Â
He then mixes a handful of salt and sugar together in a bowl while instructing the harpy to soak several pieces of the thinblade kelp. Lana spots a container of brightly coloured blossoms. She asks, âWhat are those?â
âAh good! We have some nasturtiums left. These flowers give it a bright peppery flavor as well as make the dish nice to look at.â Talos explains.
There is a difference between edible and enjoyable, and since they arenât in a survival situation, Talos prefers to make things that are enjoyable, and nutritious, whether that nutrition is for the body or the soul. The flavors and enjoyment of the meal helps the food be processed better, or at least that was a fanciful phrase one of the chefs at that place taught him.
He tells her a little story while he works, carefully editing it so that it would seem more relatable, of one of the times that he had learned how to actually cook well, rather than just survival cooking. Including a funny story about one of the people he had worked with, mixing up the salt and sugar (the labels had been removed).Â
Though he doesnât mention that the person got fired from it- and that someone had laced the food with a contact poison, nothing deadly, but dramatic enough that it had helped further destabilize the political hierarchy of the area, which had been part of his mission, outside of gathering intel.
Lana listens and watches with rapt attention as the Alpha Legionary quickly and cleanly guts and disassembles the skipjack, showing off with a few fancy tosses of his knife in between. She claps her claws and laughs with delight when her courting mate bows with a flourish and looks at her with a cheeky grin.Â
âMy dear Lana, care to help me with the next step?â He asks, giving her the handle to a second knife.Â
The harpy takes his knife and asks playfully, âWhat do we do next, Chef Talos?â
Talos teaches Lana how to cut filets of the skipjack into thin slices so that the fish would marinate quickly. They arrange the slices into a single layer on a stone board, sprinkling the fish with the mix of salt and sugar. Then they squeeze yuzu juice over top. While waiting for the fish slices to marinate, Lana and Talos cut the rehydrated thin blade kelp into smaller pieces and placed them in organized stacks.Â
He chops the fileted skipjack into smaller pieces. Lana places the pieces of skipjack and organs into separate cold rune-lined communal chests. Bones and organs can be used in nutritious soups, healing potions, or to make other dishes or snacks. By the time they are done, the fish slices are ready for the next step.Â
âTry a piece and tell me how it tastes.â Talos dangles a piece of marinated fish and watches intently as Lana delicately plucks the slice of fish from his fingers with her teeth. He smirks as her crest fluffs cutely in surprise at the flavor.
âGood?â The mer asks.Â
Lana trills in delight, âOh wow! It is a bit different from the ones at the picnic, but it is delicious!â
âThis is a different recipe. The one from your picnic with Keed requires more time to prepare.â Talos answers. He takes another and rolls it up with a few nasturtium petals. He holds it out to her, âNow, try this one.â
Lana takes it from him, chewing on it thoughtfully, âYouâre right, the flowers do add a peppery taste.â She exclaims. She then takes a slice of fish and holds it to his mouth, âItâs only fair that you should try a piece too.â
âYouâre right.â Talos gently bites onto the fish, pulling it from Lanaâs claws. He playfully nips her claw, a grin tugging his mouth when he sees his bonded harpyâs feathers fluff as she gets all flustered, âThat is quite delicious.â He purrs.Â
A quiet âeepâ escapes Lanaâs mouth, her facial feathers rising as heat flushes her cheeks. She cranes her neck to give him a quick peck on the lips and lets out a shy giggle, âWe should make these rolls then. We shouldnât let the kelp dry out.â
âAgreed, my lovely Lana. Now follow my lead.â Talos chuckles as he lays a piece of kelp down on the work surface, then three slices of marinated skipjack, and rolls it up. His harpy follows him, step by step. As she continues making the seaweed wraps, Talos sidles up behind her and wraps his arms and two of his tentacles around her waist. She shivers when he starts to trail kisses from her temple down the side of her neck.Â
âTalosâŚâ her quiet whisper lilting into a mewl.Â
âKeep working.â He murmurs, smiling as he nuzzles into her crown feathers, âI can work over you. Just want to have you close.â
Lana tilts her head and meets him in a kiss, âTouch-starved much?â
âFor your touch? Always.â her Alpha Legion mate answers, and tightens his embrace.Â
It doesnât take them long to finish and soon, they have two containers full of the fish rolls: one with nasturtium petals inside the rolls, the other, without.Â
âSay âahâ.â Lana asks, the roll in her claw shakes with her laughter when Talos pulls her closer to him and opens his mouth. The mer lets out a pleased hum as she feeds him.Â
âYou should have one too.â Teal eyes sparkle with mischief. He puts one end of a roll into his mouth, leaving the other end hanging out. Lana giggles at his flirty antics and reaches up to bite the other half off, kissing him at the same time. She nuzzles him, relaxing contentedly in his arms, âThank you for teaching me.â
He purrs, âYouâre welcome, my love.â
They continue to talk and steal kisses and bits of food from one another. As their flirtations become more heated; their touches, more insistent; Talos hears a low, angry growl and flicks his eyes around, spotting the silver and blue form of Draco skulking about and starting to fly towards them. He grabs something from his belt, âHold on for a moment, Lana, there is a pest trying to interfere.â
He lobs the metal, spherical devices that Draco dodges, but still gets entrapped in them when the metal balls open up and wrap him up in an electrified net that will zap him if he struggles or tries to break it. Not enough to actually cause him any damage, but it will sting like a bitch and be annoying to get out of.
Talos and Lana wander over just as the Grey Knight removes himself from the netting, ignoring the stinging sensation from the electrified net. Finally freed, Draco glares at the Alpha Legionary who has his arm and tentacle wrapped around his mate, his Lana. If his harpy mate wasnât in the way, he wouldâve thrown the net back at the traitorous Hydra. See how he likes a taste of his own trap.Â
Draco waits for the couple to get within his vicinity before charging at Talos, grabbing the startled Lana, who was still attached to the Hydra by one of his tentacles.
Lana scowls and scolds him sternly, âStormbreaker! This is my bonding time with Talos individually. You know the schedule! Put me down and go on patrol or something.â
They had gone through this before. This negotiated time that they had all agreed was for her and Talos, unless it was an emergency. Lana tries to struggle out of the giant merAstarteâs grasp.Â
Draco tightens his hold and hisses at her, his white eyes blazing, âThe Hydra should not be taking their liberties with you!â He had watched the other Alpha Legion traitor, Keed, seduce his Lana on the beach of the Trail of Stars Cove; his dirty, vile hands and tentacles roaming all over his mateâs body. It makes him incensed that she just allows him to.Â
Draco had touched this Hydraâs mind; hearing his thoughts and feeling his desires. How dare this one want to sully his mate with his touch!Â
âLet go of her.â Talos growls, one of his tentacles still wrapped around the harpyâs waist. Both Grey Knight and Alpha Legionary size each other up with Lana sandwiched tightly in between.Â
The harpy squawks in discomfort, forcing the two merAstartes to back off slightly so she can breathe.Â
Lana rounds on Draco angrily, âTaking liberties with me? How dare you! They are my mates as much as you are! And I consent to their affection and touch!âÂ
âWhy would you agree to that? You are my mate!â The Grey Knight glares at her.Â
âLana has every right to accept affection from any of her mates!â Talos snarls at him, tightening his grip on Lana, noticing her increasing distress, âSheâs not exclusively yours!â
âYou Hydra traitors donât deserve her.â Draco growls back.Â
Lana screeches, feeling indignant and incredibly insulted, âTalos and his brothers were my mates for far longer than you! I have taken my liberties with every single one of them before you even appeared on this Earth, so donât you dare say that I have no right to the affection of my other mates just because Iâm your mate too!â
She beats her free wing futilely against Dracoâs armor, âLet me go and let me have my time with Talos!â
White eyes stare back at her, a mixture of anger, worry, and something akin to betrayal and hurt flashing behind them. A sudden pang of guilt strikes Lanaâs heart when their eyes meet, causing her to give up, her body sagging in his arms.
Draco knows that the Alpha Legion traitors had been Lanaâs bonded mates prior to him. A strange uneasiness twists his gut at the thought of his Lana willingly engaging in romantic trysts with the Hydra traitors.Â
Why does she so easily accept the affections of the Hydra brothers, yet accept his affection with quiet reluctance? Why does she argue so passionately for these weak, multi-faced mers? And willingly grow their weak bonds that keep them tethered to her? Was he not also a strong, worthy mate for her? Dracoâs arms keep Lana in his iron grip, unwilling to let go.Â
Lana looks away from her silver mate, refusing to meet his gaze again, âJust release me and leave.â She says despondently, âIâm tired of having the same argument with you again and again and again.â
âPlease, just leave me alone, Stormbreaker.âÂ
Her breaking voice left him little room to argue. It was clear that his continued presence is causing her distress and that she doesnât want him there.Â
He slowly set her on the ground. Leaning down and gently pressing his forehead to hers, Draco murmurs, âForgive me, my Lana. I overstepped.âÂ
They touch for a moment, but the harpy doesnât let him linger and quickly shrinks back, âJust go. Please.â She pleads. Feeling the sting of her rejection, the Grey Knight mer lets go. He glances at his mate one more time and swims away.Â
Lana could feel Talosâ tentacle lightly tug her over to him. She wraps her wings around him tightly and hides her face against his chest armor. Her heart is hammering so loudly in her ears after that altercation that she was having a hard time grounding herself. Why did Draco have to make things so difficult?Â
Talos embraces his harpy and kisses her crown, stroking her feathered back to comfort her, âItâs alright, Lana, my love. Heâs gone now. Itâs only us two here⌠Itâs alright.â He frowns when he feels her tremble and hears her frantic heartbeat.Â
Lanaâs muffled voice croaks out an apology, âIâm sorry. Can we just clean up and go back to our nest?âÂ
âOf course, Lana. Are you sure you donât want to go back to the nest first?â He asks worriedly.
She lets out a shaky breath and pulls away, âI need to do something to take my mind off of all of this for the moment.â
Cupping her face in his hands, Talos tenderly brushes away the trails of tears from her feathered cheeks. She closes her eyes as her mate kisses her forehead. âLetâs clean up quickly then and we can get back to the nest earlier.â He murmurs.Â
Lana nods. They quietly work together, cleaning the knives and plates, putting away the rolls in a basket with a cold runestone to take back to their nest.Â
Lana is glad that Talos still has his tentacle wrapped around her waist, albeit loosely now. His touch is grounding and it gives her something else to focus on as they work together. She gives his tentacle a light squeeze to indicate she has finished her task.Â
Talos picks up his gauntlets and basket then goes over to hug his bonded, âReady to go?â He asks.Â
She smiles wanly and nuzzles into his chest, âYes.â
The Alpha Legionary lets Lana take his hand and lead him back to their nest, knowing that she needs to feel some sense of control and regularity right now. At least her heart rate has calmed somewhat and she doesnât seem as stressed as before. But her eyes and smile have lost their earlier brightness. He internally curses the obsessive Grey Knight for making his dear Lana sad.Â
Once they returned to their nest, Talos put on his helm to quickly send a quick vox to his brothers, letting them know that his date got cut short and that they had returned to the nest; requesting privacy for the next several hours and to not engage the Grey Knight aggressively so as to not stress Lana further. He receives questions about what had happened and confirmation from them with Zarius saying that he can keep an eye on the Grey Knight. He sends his thanks and promises his brothers to update them with details, before turning his attention to Lana again.Â
Lana waits patiently for Talos to finish, still holding his hand in her claw, âPlease tell your brothers to not engage with Stormbreaker. I donât think I can take any more stress today.â She asks, a worried expression on her face.Â
Talos brings her claw to his lips, pressing a reassuring kiss, âAlready done, my cherished one.âÂ
He takes off his armor and settles into their nest, embracing Lana as she crawls into his arms. She sighs as she snuggles against his chest, âI forget how warm you are when you donât have your armor on.â
Talos chuckles and wraps several tentacles around his harpy mate, keeping her close as he starts to pet her. They fell into a comfortable silence laying in the cozy atmosphere.Â
âIâm sorry our time together was ruined.â Lana suddenly mumbles, her voice quiet and sad.Â
Concerned, Talos gently tilted her chin up to look at him, âWhy are you apologizing? You've done nothing wrong.â
Her eyes are wet with unshed tears, âItâs frustrating and unfair to you that the argument with Stormbreaker brought the whole mood down. I wish I kept it together better.â
âCaptain Ass barging in was out of your control.â Talos insists, kissing her crown, âDonât blame yourself for any of this. He had no right to act the way he did.â
Hearing that, the emotions that she has been holding back, breaks. Lana sobs into Talosâ chest.Â
âWhy is this so difficult? I just want to be fair to all of you! I⌠IâŚâ her cries break his hearts and the air seems laden with the scent of her tears. It is easy enough to share Lanaâs time between his brothers and himself, but no amount of Alpha Legion manipulation of events had prepared them for the Grey Knight to share an intense bond with their harpy mate. Truly, whatever warp magic or entity out there, had thrown Lana (and them) an unfair hand.Â
The Alpha Legionary let out deep comforting purrs to calm his tearful mate, one hand gently scratching the back of her neck, the other securing her in his embrace. He nuzzles into her crest feathers, âLana, my sweet harpy. You didnât ask to be bonded with us, let alone bond with Captain Stormjerker. Yet you do your best to keep and grow our bonds. Donât put all this emotional burden upon yourself. We will help carry that burden for you.â
Lana doesnât acknowledge him, and only hides her face in his chest; the hitching tremble of her body slowing down being the only indication that she had heard what he said.Â
âLana, please look at me.â He rumbles, cupping her tear-streaked face in his hand as she looks up at him. Talos gently cleans her face with a cloth. She gives him a watery smile and warbles a thanks. He smiles back, his teal eyes bright and warm.Â
Talos kisses her forehead, âLana, light of my life. It's okay to be overwhelmed.â
Then her feathered brow, âYou are doing so well. We are ever thankful that you fought so hard to keep our bonds.âÂ
Then the tip of her nose, âLet us take care of you.â
He hovers over her lips, so close that their lips almost touch, âMay I kiss you?â He whispers.Â
Entranced by her mateâs soft caresses; Lana murmurs a âyesâ before pushing forward and seals her lips against his. She wraps her wings around him to pull him closer. Talos obliges and tightens his embrace, wrapping another tentacle around her, deepening the kiss with the sole purpose of making Lana forget that the incident with Stormbreaker even happened. She reciprocates with equal fervor, caressing his tongue with hers, her lips barely leaving his when she needed to take a breath.Â
The couple share a fond smile when their lips finally part.Â
âThank you.â She murmurs softly, touching her nose tip to his.Â
âAlways at your service, my cherished one.â He chuckles.Â
They share another short, loving kiss. Lana settles against his body, clinging to him tightly, âJust hold me, please?â She asks.Â
âOf course, my lovely Lana.â She can feel the vibration of Talosâ reply through her cheek. Her eyes start to flutter close as she relaxes from the gentle pressure of his fingers running through her feathers as he strokes her back. He softly purrs and nuzzles her gently in his arms. Once Lana falls asleep, Talos reaches with his tentacle to grab his helmet. He puts it on and sends a vox text message to his brothers with a quick update on the Bastard and how much he upset their bonded. Teal eyes glimmer with satisfaction knowing his brothers are planning to execute revenge on StormShithead for making their Lana cry.

Hi hi! Sorry for not being specific enough about my rq for August's NSFW hcs! I read the rules again and can you please do nsfw hcs of august with a service dom!reader? Very heavy on praising and worshipping August's body,always reminding him he's beautiful and commenting on his pretty expressions when they're having sex <33
Hop this is specific enough :))
Also,can I go by AM Anon? Im always forgetting what emojis I use for anon and i think letters can work better for me đ
All good. Glad you came back! And of course you can be AM Anon.Â
Iâm going to focus on Post-story August for this since heâs that much more fun with his battle scars and all.Â
Augustine Carver
He was always built, but you could tell that he put on even more muscle during his time at war. The first time he strips for you heâs hesitant, knowing that such scars arenât ideal for noble men like him.Â
He trusts you with his whole heart but that little voice nagging in the back of his head lingers yâknow?
His obedience for you is up there however and it overpowers his hesitance when you tell him to undress for you.Â
His bedroom was familiar, having grown up his whole life there, but when you stand over him with your hungry eyes itâs like you took over his space entirely. Which he would absolutely arrange should you desire it.Â
August sits bare on the edge of his plush bed, eyes flickering towards the ground while he straightens his back.Â
Your precious boy is so nervous.Â
Whatever maddening voices that echo in his head, telling him to hurry and cover back up and hide his marred figure were instantly silenced when you cradled his face.Â
His wide and vulnerable eyes stare at you for further cues.Â
You simply kiss his forehead tenderly and then his lips. Okay. This was familiar territory. He could do this part. So he kisses you back just as softly, refusing to escalate this himself.Â
He swallows when you pull back and you tell him to scoot back onto the bed completely. He listens.Â
You then strip to the same level as him, not leaving him alone in this. And you crawl up to him, legs wrapped around his waist as you take one of his hands and kiss every finger, every knuckle, every callous his hands have.Â
His breathing gets heavy with emotion.Â
If you have your own scars from your own endeavors (training to delete the royal couple, etc, etc), he looks at them in mild wonder. You donât stop him from tracing his hands on them either. Itâs only fair. His touches are so soft you take his hand and rest it fully against your skin, reassuring him that youâre very much flesh and not glass.Â
And then you get to praising him for his efforts during the war, recounting all the stories youâve gathered of him while he was away. You kiss and caress every single one of them with the same love and adoration as the last.Â
Heâs not outright sobbing, but the steady flow of tears canât be stopped as he basks in the warmth of your love.Â
When you tell him all the things you love about him and ask if he agrees he doesnât say anything. Thatâs when you start to bully him. Nicely.Â
Youâre loving on him so hard and heâs overwhelmed by your entire being as you ride him.Â
Augustine hides his face when you mention how pretty he is. His face bursts into flames, as if it wasnât already red before, and practically whimpers as he hides. Of course you fix that immediately by pulling his arms away. And if you so wish you can even use your shadow magic to restrain his hands from hiding his face. The flushed and teary face on this big buff scarred man makes heat course through you. Fuck heâs so perfect and pretty for you.Â
You only release him when he promises not to hide, which is hard but he busies himself with touching you too. Itâs grounding for him.Â
He wants to cum. Needs to cum. But you keep bringing him to the brink and back, edging him because he canât find it in himself to agree with all the wonderful things youâve said about him. Itâs a mix of not believing them and being too shy. Of course heâs not accusing you of lying. Heâs just. Well. His self esteem isnât as high as it was before everything had happened. Before he felt unlovable up until you came back into his life.Â
He does eventually break, frantically crying out all the lovely things youâve said about him as he begs to cum.Â
âIâm a good boy! Iâm handsome and strong and I deserve so many good things! Please let me cum! Please please please please you said I was good right?! Please let me cum!â
Of course he is, so you do. His body tightens like a bowstring and he convulses as he comes, thanking you for everything.Â
His face is soaked with tears as he comes down from his high. When you dry his face for him he almost hides his face again, but he promised you so he keeps his hands by his side. You notice and chuckle, telling him that he doesnât need to keep it up anymore, but also praising him for being so obedient.Â
Since you gave him the okay he turns his face and hides in his pillow as he calms down from the whole ordeal.Â
Your shadow magic flickers around the room and gathers things so you can clean the two of you up before snuggling under the covers.Â
He makes this face where he wants to say something, but instead just goes for it, burying himself into your chest and wrapping his arms around your waist. You hold him back, squeezing him as tight as you can before snuffing the candles with the shadows.Â

--
Ballister lifted himself up onto the rocks and sang, his brilliant black tail flicking the water beneath. It was the curse of the sirens that they should be forced to sing, forced to lure the sailors who would linger among them, enraptured, until succumbing to starvation on the barren seabanks of their island. The sirens did not wish to see their beloved muses suffer for them, but if any ship was able to resist their call and pass them by, or if any sailor managed to leave their island, they would all dissolve into the salt of the ocean. So he sang with his brothers and sisters, as beautifully as he could, desperate to lure any ship that came within earshot of their island, to preserve his family. Siren voices carry for well over a mile.
Just as usual, the ship crashed on the rocks and the surviving sailors were thrown to the sea below. They would need to retrieve them. Of course it would be easier to just allow the sailors to drown, but just as the sailors were enraptured by the sirens, so too were the sirens captivated by the sailors. It was nice, sometimes, to have their company, but in addition to that, sirens could not reproduce with one another. To keep their island alive, they needed to rescue the humans.
Diving below the sea, Ballister saw what appeared to be the Captain, based on his attire. He was young to be a captain, with blond hair that whipped and floated in the water. Ballister wrapped his arm around him and carried him to the surface, ushering him to the rocky shore.
Canals ran through this island of boulders, allowing the merfolk to interact with their human pets for however long they had. There was some freshwater springs, but no food. Sirens didn't need to eat.
He rested his hand on the Captain's chest and pressed until all the water was out of him. The man coughed and sputtered. He met Ballister's eyes. "You. Were you the one singing, with the beautiful voice?"
Ballister cradled his head and smiled. "I was singing with my brothers and sisters. We each have our own song. They harmonize when we sing together, but each one is a melody on its own."
The captain blinked. "What was your song?"
Ballister opened his mouth to sing softly. The man's eyes widened. "That's it! Your song is the one that I heard!"
Ballister blushed. "You only heard mine? We were all singing."
"I heard the harmony when we got closer. You all sounded lovely. Are you a mermaid? Or a siren?"
"I'm a merman," Ballister said with an annoyed albeit amused lilt. "But I am also a siren. They're the same thing, you know."
"Oh." The man looked over the stones and into the water, his eyes widening as he caught a glimpse of Ballister's tail. "You don't look like you'll try to eat me."
Ballister laughed. "We don't eat sailors! We don't need to eat. We live forever, unless we are killed or captured. I am a Guardian, I protect the island. You seem to be a pirate, but you don't look like you're going to brutally pillage me."
"Heavens no!" The Captain laughed nervously. "We aren't those kinds of pirates. I was the heir to a corrupt, powerful fishing company. They were exploiting their sailors and stealing from the public, so I rounded up some sailors and now we take down their fishing boats. We don't hurt anyone, we recruit those who want to join us and bring the rest home. Anyway, do you all have names?"
Ballister snorted. "Yes, and mine is Ballister."
"My name is Ambrosius. Hello, Ballister." Ballister just smiled and nodded. They weren't supposed to remember the humans' names. It made things too hard.
The siren's eyes widened when a warm hand, with a skin far more textured than his own cupped his face. "Has anyone told you that you are so beautiful, Ballister?"
He blushed and sank a bit deeper into the water. "I am frequently told I have a lovely voice."
"No," said the human-- the Captain-- Ambrosius. "That's not what I mean. Your voice is beautiful, but that's not what I mean. Something about your eyes. You're just the most gorgeous person I've ever seen. Not something I thought I'd ever say washed up on a boulder to a half-fish man, but I mean it."
Ballister laughed, but something inside him twisted. The siren's seductive magic lies solely in his song. He cannot keep a human captivated unless he is singing. He wasn't singing, but this man still looked at him with that look in his beautiful almond eyes.
Ballister had already decided that this human was going to be his. But now, he was starting to feel sure that he didn't want to let this one go.

Could you please write a Cara Ward x reader where reader comforts Cara after Elliot is found out and arrested?? :) -âď¸
Shattered Reflections
Pairing: Cara Ward x fem reader
Summary: you knew Cara wanted to be alone, most likely needed to be alone. But she had been alone for nearly a week now, and you were starting to worry. You hadnât seen her at school, hadnât gotten any messages back on your mobile and when Pip had mentioned with shaky trembling hands that Cara had yet to answer her back you knew it was up to you to go after her. Cara needed time, but she also needed looking after and while you knew Naomi was the best elder sister a young girl could ask for, you also knew she was fighting her own battles. There was only so much she could do. And as much as you were thankful for Caraâs grandparents all they could do was hold her close and provided a safety net. What could you provide?
Authors note: Absolutely adore Cara and wanted to get this anon this fic as fast as possible! I hope you enjoy it! Itâs not nearly as long as my other ficts but I promise I am working on some long ones. I didnât quite get to write cara as her humorous self in this so I look forward to that.
Warnings: Mentions of Sal singhâs death, Eliot ward mentions, emotional trauma, angry Cara ward, lovesick cara ward, just cara ward đđŤś
The rain came down in a relentless torrent, each drop a whispered accusation against the world. Cara Ward stood at the edge of Mill End Road her knuckles white as she clutched her fingers together. The wind howled, tugging at her coat, urging her to step back from the end of the drive. Her drive . Number 42, Mill End Road Wendover. But she couldnâtânot when her entire existence teetered on the edge of revelation.
The headlines had screamed itâthe truth that had been hidden for years. Elliot Ward, loved by the town, the man who had cradled her in his arms after her motherâs death, was no hero. He was a villain, a puppet master pulling strings in the shadows. Andie Bellâs disappearance, Sal Singhâs deathâit all led back to him.
Caraâs heart pounded, the rhythm of betrayal echoing through her veins. She had loved her father, trusted him implicitly. He had been her anchor, the one who wiped away her tears and whispered bedtime stories. But now, the same hands that had held her were stained with blood, and the lullabies he sang were a haunting melody.
The rain soaked through her clothes, chilling her to the bone. She closed her eyes, picturing her motherâs faceâthe woman who had died years ago , leaving behind a void that even time couldnât fill. Her mother had believed in Elliot, had loved him fiercely. And now, Cara wondered if that love had been misplaced, if she had known what he had been capable of.
The rain began to stifle her, freeze her fingertips to bits. But she didnât care, didnât move an inch. âDoes pip know your out here? Sheâs been calling, left a dozen messages. In all honesty I think sheâs going mad not hearing from youâ. Cara didnât need to turn to know whose voice it was. The soft cadence that flew through the air was filled with childhood memories. Games of whatâs the time Mr wolf. Of sleepovers that lasted far into the night and often consisted of pip telling some random facts as you giggled alongside Cara and her impressions of her year 4 teacher Mrs Linton.
She should have known you would be the first person to find her. She had snuck out late into the night, her grandparents too old and deaf to notice and Naomi dealing with her own grief locked away to bother checking wether Cara was asleep. It would only a matter of time now before Naomi would peek her head into the room and notice her gone. Cara wondered if you had texted Naomi, been sent as some sort of lookout. But Cara didnât need a look out what she needed was her mum. And she was long gone now, departed from this earth, the only sign that she had ever lived being the bones that laid beneath the church cemetery. Cara almost chuckled sardonically, what a morbid thought, but she was use to them by now.
âI read her message and Iâm not respondingâ Cara spoke, her voice frigid and lacking her usual gusto. You could feel your heart shatter as you eyed the girl. Her back to you, but you could still feel her. Could still feel the storm that raged in her chest like a hurricane. You had been left shocked after finding out about Mr Ward. He had always been kind to you. Ever since you had gone home with Cara one afternoon after primary school, and Mr Ward and greeted you with a small smile and a hoard of fatherly jokes that made Cara hide her face in the backseat and Naomi have a laugh.
âI didnât expect you wouldâ your voice was soft over the rain, you knew Cara wanted to be alone, most likely needed to be alone. But she had been alone for nearly a week now, and you were starting to worry. You hadnât seen her at school, hadnât gotten any messages back on your mobile and when Pip had mentioned with shaky trembling hands that Cara had yet to answer her back you knew it was up to you to go after her. Cara needed time, but she also needed looking after and while you knew Naomi was the best elder sister a young girl could ask for, you also knew she was fighting her own battles. There was only so much she could do. And as much as you were thankful for Caraâs grandparents all they could do was hold her close and provided a safety net.
What could you provide?
You sighed, your lips feeling chapped even though you had applied some clear cherry lip lacquer. A nervous habit you had contracted after years of being by Caraâs side. You can remember a young seven year old Cara who use to swear that lip lacquer was safe to eat and often would lick of the residue from her lips with a giggling smile.
âIâm not here to make you talk Carâ you began, wringing your hands, âif Iâm honestâŚ.Iâm here because I couldnât stand the thought of you being alone. Ever since I can remember weâve been as thick as thiefâs and-I care about you. A great deal. And I know I could never take away your pain or make it go away, but what I can do is be your side. Even if you howl at me and throw me away. I know your angry. Iâm angry. Your fatherâŚâ your voice trembled. You could see Caraâs shoulders shaking as you mentioned Elliot. Her shoulders moving in a rapid movement, her soft sobs leaving her.
âYour father deserves what he got. I know you feel that way too, but I also know you are his daughter. His flesh and blood and while you canât look at him and call him that you canât quite forgetâ.
âMy father murdered a young boy y/nâ cara spoke, her voice angry and brittle, âhe murdered him and then made Sal take the blame. After he knew what he had done with Andie! He knew what he was doing was wrong but because of his stupid negligence and horny disgrace of a man he did it anyway!!â She barked out.
âMum would have been-â cara could feel her tongue halt, what would she have been? Appalled? Hurt? Betrayed?
Cara sucked in a breathe, the rain easing just enough that she could eye you as she finally turned. She hadnât smiled for days, hadnât felt the urge. Almost as if joy or happiness had been washed away from her. Like a toy being stripped of all of its parts until only the core remained. But here, watching you, with your sweet kind eyes and hair that flew down to your shoulders dripping with rain that puddles onto your cheeks and onto your lips. Cara could almost feel the way her eyes tilted to watch the raindrops fall down those lips, and she allowed herself too. As a distraction, as a treat, and perhaps some part of her had yearned to reach out and press those soft lips against hers, to feel the supple smile against her own, she reckoned they were smooth, flexible. Warm. Hot. Searing.
She was sure you could take it away. The pain. You took her quiet as a sign, moving closer until your watered down trainers were inches from her own and your eyes bore into her oak eyes. âWhyâd you come here Car?â. To anybody else it would seem like a stupid question, a question that if anybody else asked would have made her livid. But you, you had phrased it like you were interested, like you wanted to be inside her head, to know why she had chose this house. Cara knew you knew, but she also knew you were always one for listening. The observant one since childhood.
Cara eyed her fingers which were frozen from the rain, âit was the first place I thought of, of where my family was happy. Yes mum was sick here, those memories hurt too, but itâs a bittersweet type of hurtâ Cara spoke, âI came here because I wanted to see my home. The home my father hid that poor girl in. My mother would have knifed him most likelyâ Cara spoke, a laugh falling of her lips. âShe was a Firey woman. Always making jests when the time didnât permit itâ.
Like someone you knew.
You listened, intently. Sitting beside Cara as she spoke. Her memories, her fears, her anger. You sat and listened. You knew it would take time, but you were more than happy to give her your time.
âCan I ask you something?â Cara had spoken. You nodded, a soft smirk taking over your lips. âYou can always ask me something carâ.
âEven if I ask you to help me murder my father and burry the evidence?â.
You blanched, and once you watched Caraâs face thick was amusement did you laugh, your cheeks red.
âAnything but that wardâ.
A soft smile filled Caraâs features, a small one at most. But you were glad for it. Caraâs smile had inched down and you watched as her brows remained forward, her deep dark honey eyes now focused on your mouth.
âIf I kiss you will you move away?â.
The words had made your heart beat. Made your stomach jolt and your head shake. Vigorously. You couldnât lie and say that ever since Cara had told you and Pip you had been aware of your own sexuality. But you were far to shy to ask.
Cara was soft as her nose brushed yours, her hot breathe feeling warm from the way your cold limbs felt. Her lips were cold, freezing. But that didnât matter because you could feel the way your chest ached. Your fingers wound in her hair, pulling her without meaning too. A soft gasp fell into your lips as Cara without thought backed you up against the wall, her eyes dark.
âI love youâ.
The words were rushed, but you could have cried.
âI love you Cara Wardâ you spoke, and Cara only brought you close, finally hugging you. âPlease donât leave. I donât think I could get through this without youâ she confessed. You held tight, âbut you could. You could Cara.â
Cara pulled away, hands holding tightly onto yours.
âI wish I couldâ was her broken response. You only held her as she cried, cradling her head and kissing her skin. Cara clung tightly, like in an instant you would fade. Like all the people in her life. But as long as she had you, her tether she would be strong. She had too be. Even if it broke her.
You must have both stood out in the rain for hours, and once the rain grew too cold to Handel you pulled Cara to her feet, swiping the rain of her cheeks with a soft hand. Cara leaned in, breathing you in as she peered into your eyes.
You knew she was thankful. Could feel it in the eager way she kissed you, like you were oxygen and she hadnât breathed in years. Caraâs kisses were soft as they plunged against yours. And you felt lightheaded as her fingers trailed down to your cheek, caressing like you were the most precious jewl.
âYouâve got me bloody falling for you y/nâ she uttered, pulling away. But right when Cara was about to pull you into her to utterly ravish you a vibrating pocket halted you.
You could see the flash of annoyance on her features, but Cara relented when she eyed the screen. Pippa. You smiled, encouraged her. âSheâs been waiting by the phone like mad Cara. She would have ringed more but she was at hospitalâ.
Caraâs eyebrows rose, âwhy was pip at the hospital?â.
You only pointed to the phone, âIâm sure pip will tell you all about it sweet girlâ. The pet name made blush appear on the girls cheeks but you only bumped her waist, âgo onâ.

hahaha iâve been sending you silly little anon messages every now and then for weeks! but i decided i wanna come off anon for the celebration!! <3 so huge congratulations on 2k miss court đ you deserve it so much.
i would looove a margarita based on the lyric âi loved you in spite of the deep fears that the world would divide usâ (from dancing with our hands tied hehe) with the one and only frank castle <3
you deserve every single one, and more, of your 2000 followers!!! thank you for writing, thank you for indulging us in our fantasies, and thank you for being so unwaveringly kind through it all đˇcheers to many more đĽ
my marvelous mia đ,
thank you so much for your kind & lovely words, and thank you so much for joining me at the bar. cheers to you, darling. đĽ
also sorry this is super angsty I don't know what happened but when I read that lyric and re-listened to the song, this is what my gremlin brain came up with
blurb below the cut
dancing with our hands tied
i loved you in spite of the deep fears that the world would divide us
âYouâŚyou donât know what youâre sayinâ.â
Frank couldnât look at you. It would be easier to walk away if he couldnât see the look in your eyes; a broken reflection of his own disappointment and disgust.Â
âFrank-â
âI am what they say I am. I did all those things. Hell, did more than they even know âbout.â
Frank wasnât sure who he was trying to convince more right now that him leaving was the best idea; himself or you. The world knew the Punisher was alive. That meant that everyone who ever wanted their own vengeance against him knew he was no longer a ghost to be whispered about, but a monster to be foolishly hunted.Â
If his head was the prize, your heart was collateral damage.
This was what was best. It would keep you safe.Â
But fuck if it didnât hurt. All he wanted to do was hold you, but how could he do that with his hands still stained red? How could he taint your skin with someone elseâs blood that lingered beneath his blunt nails?Â
Sooner or later, youâd realize what he really was, and heâd rather you walk away than run.Â
âFrank, will you please look at me?â
He couldnât look at you, because then he would want to stay. Heâd want to be selfish, and give into his own delusions of a second chance. A livelihood that wasnât so violent. Four walls filled with nothing but you and him. A sacred promise around your left finger. Maybe even a goddamn dog.Â
You had appeared out of nowhere, like a mirage of an oasis in the desert, and Frank didnât want to remove his cup from your heavy handed pour of love and affection. You were the sun in the center of his universe, radiating pure warmth that melted the layers of frost surrounding his abandoned heart, and now he was helplessly trying to shove it back into the freezer.
Frank closed his eyes when he caught you moving out of his peripheral vision, letting his head hang in shame between his shoulders as your delicate palm cradled the back of his head. Your other hand gently caressed his cheek, pulling him in closer so that you could touch your foreheads together, and Frank fought like hell to keep the floodgates from bursting open as he gripped onto your waist like a lifeline.
âI want you to listen to me. I know exactly who you are, Frank. And I still love you all the same. There is nothing you could ever do that would change my heart. I know youâre afraid, and I understand why. I know being with you comes with risks. I knew that from the very beginning. But FrankâŚIâd take five minutes of madness with you over a lifetime without you. The safest place I have ever been is with you. So pleaseâŚplease donât leave, baby. Please stay. Just stay with me.â
Frank leaned in to capture your lips in a soft kiss, pouring every word he couldnât speak into your mouth, holding you so tightly to his chest, he thought you might merge into one single being.
You wanted him. You loved him, despite everything. You didnât want him to let go. You didnât want him to leave.
You wanted him.
As the two of you stood there grasping onto one another in the middle of the living room under the glow of the moonlight, Frank realized what a fool heâd been.
He couldnât leave you if he tried.

No More Bad Dreams
This was requested by đŚ anon who I am desperate to find as I am done with their latest fic but don't want to post it until I find them! Here's an old one in hopes that my tags will bring them back lol.
Elle is gone for two weeks and finds you sick, sniffly and miserable.
=====
Two weeks. Elle had been gone for two weeks. And sheâd come back to find you in a shivering mess on the floor, whimpering to yourself about some sort of case related nightmare. She couldnât imagine what being so sick on a case like the one sheâd just left wouldâve gotten you.Â
Penelope had been giving her updates on your condition, letting her know how you were refusing to eat and how high your fever was, etc. etc. She had worked her ass off to solve the case as quickly as possible, using every avenue to have to do so, some that she was not entirely proud of. The Unsub liked brunettes, so she flirted. It worked like a charm.Â
âHey bud, itâs time to get off the floor.â She sighed, kneeling down beside you. She squeezed your shoulder, trying to pull you out of your nightmare. Your eyes flew open at the gentle touch and you flinched away, not fully recognizing the blurry, chocolate eyeâd figure.Â
Those eyes brought you comfort, smoothing down the jagged edges of your fever induced nightmares and pulling you back into the real world. She was home and you were incredibly relieved. It wasnât that you minded being alone, it was that you felt horrible and being alone was a hellish disaster that resulted in you falling asleep on the kitchen floor.Â
âElleâŚâ You rasped, reaching up for her with sluggish movements, feeling sort of like a baby with the way you were trying to grab her. Elle pulled you up into a sitting position and held you close, cradling your head against her chest.Â
You clutched a fistful of her loose shirt and coughed, your chest burning with the effort. Sitting up had made you dizzy and your vision was full of spots. There was a real concern that you might pass out, and definitely would have fallen and cracked your head on the floor without Elleâs support.
âYouâre lucky youâre cute, because youâre being super dumb.â The brunette said gently, her voice full of kindness and love. That was her way of showing she cared, that was her way of showing affection. She didnât often do showy romantic things, but she had her own way of proving her love.Â
After a particularly rough case sheâd make the two of you mugs of cocoa and youâd curl up on the couch together with a crappy sitcom to wind down. Eventually, youâd get around to actually share whatâs wrong with the other, but that typically required some sort of alcohol.Â
When either of you were sick though, all of the norms were gone. Sheâd spoil you with absolutely anything you wanted, even going as far as to make soup, which she absolutely despised. For a woman so good at cooking, she sure as hell hated it.Â
When she was sick she got extra clingy. Youâd watch romcoms together, get her ice cream, help her shower and yell at Gideon if necessary. You knew sheâd do the same for you. Your work schedule was incredibly demanding, working for the FBI was of course rewarding, but also exhausting. There were times when you just needed to rest and take care of yourselves.Â
âHave you checked your temperature at all?â Elle asked, pulling you out of your quiet musings. You squinted up at her, trying to remember anything from the last few days. Judging by the fuzziness in your brain and the heavy feeling in your limbs, you either hadnât checked it, or you had and then neglected to take any sort of medication.Â
âIâm going to take that as a no,â Your girlfriend sighed, tucking a strand of your damp hair behind your ear. She laid a hand on your forehead and hissed softly, her expression turning from loving to pure worry in half a second. Tears filled your eyes at her sudden change and you pulled away, wondering if sheâd be angry with you for neglecting your health. Your former partner wouldâve been. They probably wouldâve just left you alone to fend for yourself.Â
âShit, your feverâs really high, we need to get this down, babe.â She said, cupping your cheeks with both of her hands. Her face was a mix of emotions, but you couldnât detect any anger.Â
âOkay, hereâs what we're going to do,â She decided, frowning over at the bathroom. She was probably trying to decide how exactly she would get you there. âIâm going to start the shower, but we're going to keep it lukewarm so that we can get your fever down a little. Do you think that you can shower on your own?âÂ
You hesitated, honestly unsure if you could do it by yourself. You sniffled and rubbed your nose on your sleeve, giving her an uncertain nod. The brunette smiled and kissed your sweaty forehead, doing a good job at not showing her disgust.Â
âGood. You shower and Iâll make you some tomato soup.â She helped you stand and walked you to the bathroom, staying with you until the water was at a temperature she deemed acceptable.Â
âNeed help changing?â The profiler smirked, raising her eyebrows at you. You wrinkled your nose and pushed her playfully, nearly falling over with the small expenditure of effort. She grabbed your waist to keep you upright, face contorting back into one of concern.Â
âAre you sure you can do this? I donât want you to hurt yourself.â You forced a smile and nodded, blinking away the dark spots dancing in your vision.Â
âIâll be fine. Donât burn the house down.â You leaned over and kissed her forehead, pushing her out of the room.Â
The shower was awful. You made it about halfway through washing your hair before you got too dizzy to stand up and resolved to just sit on the floor under the cool spray. Not only did your body hurt, but the water was much colder than you thought it should be. Sure you had a fever, but was it really bad enough that it warranted pellets of ice on your head?
âY/n, you alright in there?â Elle called, drawing you out of your spiral of self pity.Â
âMâokay. Out in a minute.â You slurred back, practically dragging yourself out of the shower. That's when you realized that you had forgotten a change of clothes. So there you were, standing in the middle of the bathroom, dripping wet, tears beginning to fill your eyes. Every minor inconvenience set you off when you felt this awful.
There was a bathrobe. Comfortable enough, and cozy. It wasnât quite clothes, but it was clothes enough. You dried off quickly and crawled into the robe, wrapping yourself up in the soft fabric.Â
You emerged from the bathroom and plodded into the kitchen, leaning comfortably against the woman who was stirring the pot of soup. She chuckled softly when she saw your outfit and grinned at you.Â
âYou look adorable, but you need some real clothes. Câmon sweetie, let's get you into bed.â She teased, turning off the stove before wrapping an arm around your waist. You put your head down on her shoulder and yawned hugely, feeling the heavy exhaustion weighing upon you.Â
Elle helped you into a soft shirt and flannel pants before laying you down in your big, soft bed. You sniffled softly and laid back, curling up under your duvet. She kissed your hairline and grabbed the remove, quickly turning on a Disney movie, which was one of your sickday pleasures.Â
âIâm going to get you a bowl of soup, just stay put.â You listened, too tired to get up and follow her anyway. Normally you'd just ignore her warnings and do what you wanted, but your body had pretty much given up on moving. You turned your attention to the television screen, on which an orange fish was swimming too far away from the reef. Stupid fish.Â
You were thinking about the damn fish and why it was making dumb decisions when Elle returned with a steaming bowl of tomato soup. She sat beside you on the bed and smiled, looking beautiful as ever. Her smile was gorgeous. Everything about her was gorgeous.Â
âYouâre pretty.â You mumbled, sniffling quietly. The congestion had settled in your sinuses and you rubbed your nose on your sleeve before coughing harshly into your elbow. The coughs grated against your throat, bringing your attention back to the incredible pain there. As much as you hated to admit it, you felt absolutely miserable.Â
âOkay honey. Swallow this for me.â She produced a pill and a glass of water which you downed silently, wincing as the pill scraped down your throat.Â
âGood. Now, a few bites of soup and you can go to sleep.â Since when had she gotten so demanding? Well, sheâd always been firm, but now it felt like she was being mean. You whimpered and took the bowl, uncertainty filling you.Â
She wrapped an arm around your waist and sat beside you, using the other hand to keep the bowl from spilling in your shaky grip. One bite. Thatâs all you managed, you couldnât do it. The warm soup was probably supposed to help your throat, but all it did was make everything worse.Â
You shoved the bowl into her hands and shook your head, curling away from her. She looked at you with wide eyes, surprised by your sudden change in demeanor. She knew that you had mood swings when you were feverish, but this was unprecedented even for you.Â
âHey, what is it?â She asked, putting the bowl down on the side table. She placed a hand on your hip but you jerked away, turning back to her with teary eyes.Â
âPlease just don'tâdonât touch me.â You ordered, trying to keep your voice from trembling as badly as it was. Elle nodded and hugged her arms to her chest, frowning at you.Â
âOkay, can you tell me whatâs wrong?â How exactly could you tell her? How did you let her know that your body hurt and so did your mind. That the shadows were turning to twisted monsters in your mind. That all you wanted to do was sleep, but your body ached too badly to let you do so.Â
âI canât-it hurts too much.â You finally admitted, feeling stupid for telling her that. You were an FBI agent. Well, you both were, but still. There was a mostly unspoken rule that as agents you couldnât show weakness. And what had you been doing all day? Showing weakness. You hated it.Â
âOh, love. Youâre sick, of course it hurts. You donât have to eat right now if you donât want to, weâll figure it out. Come here, we can just watch the movie for now.â She soothed, pulling you into her arms. You put her head on her chest, your body shaking as you cried. She didnât mind, just shifted so that she could hold you more comfortably.Â
âJust watch the movie. Weâll get everything taken care of.â Elle rubbed your back and turned up the volume on the TV, just loud enough to draw your attention back to the screen. You were still sniffling quietly, trying to keep your tears inside. After what felt like ages, you felt your eyes begin to slip closed as Lilo and Stitch replaced the sounds of Finding Nemo.Â
âThere you go mi querida. Rest, youâll feel better when you wake up.â She promised, kissing your forehead. You loved it when she spoke Spanish to you, it felt strangely intimate and always served to calm you down. With those words embedded into your feverish mind, you let the dark, dreamless sleep take over, grateful for the mind numbing cold medicine. No more dreams for you.

wordless ways to say I love you #15 w ryou bakura? đĽşđ (Also yes I am the last anon that requested bakura before, I just love him and I swear I'll request other characters one of these days đ)
Yay, I'm so happy you came back and requested for more :D I don't mind, you can keep requesting the same character all the time if you want, I'm happy to write. I hope you enjoy :)
Prompt List
Prompt 15: Calming them down when they have a bad dream.
You stirred in the early hours of the morning to your partnerâs restless tossing and turning. The sun had yet to peek over the horizon and when you finally struggled to peel your eyes open, you were greeted to the familiar darkness that surrounded your bedroom. You groaned softly, rubbing the sleep that clung to the corners of your vision as your mind was slowly dragged into the waking world. You gazed to your partner huddled on the other side of the bed, blankets thrown across their body haphazardly as they continued to dream. A sharp gasp tumbled from their lips and you could have sworn your heart nearly jumped up into your throat at the sight of them.
Beads of sweat dotted Bakuraâs brow, soft, fluffy strands of snow-white hair damp with sweat and clinging to his forehead. A jumble of incoherent noises tumbled from his parted, bruised lips in a breathless whisper, eyes dancing wildly beneath the lids as he struggled to breathe. You immediately scooted closer to his side of the bed, leaving the warm confines of your blanket as you hovered closer.
"Bakura?" you called softly.
Your hand gently grazed his bare shoulder, the muscles tensing under your touch like your fingertips had suddenly burned him. Another concerning noise bubbled up the back of his throat and you were quick to realise that he was having another nightmare. Your heart sank at the thought of how frequent his dark dreams continued to haunt him, even to this day. Old wounds that may never be healed. You gently shake his shoulder again, trying to softly coax him awake yet terrified of causing further harm. His face pulled into a grimace, body trembling as he slowly started to curl into himself. His fingers clutched the bedsheets tightly, jaw tense as a soft hiss whistled through his teeth. You couldnât bare the sight any longer and you redoubled your efforts.
"Ryou, come on, wake up" you whispered, jostling his arm. "Youâre having a bad dream. Just follow my voice."
The violent tremors wracking his body slowly started to die down as he called your name. Pale lashes fluttered against his cheeks as his eyes abruptly snapped open. He jolted awake, body rigid as his senses slowly started to crawl back to him. Your touch was like a soothing balm as you rubbed your hands along his arm, calming his racing thoughts. His body slowly sank back into the mattress, a huff of air blowing past his lips and ruffling the wisps of hair that fell into his eyes.
"A dream" he muttered. "Just a dream."
A small sigh of relief tumbled from your mouth; heart settled back into your chest as you swallowed around the small lump in your throat. Thank the stars he was awake and calming down. His gaze flicked in your direction and even in the dim lighting he could see the concern tugging at your features.
"Iâm sorry love, did I wake you?" he asked, voice dry and throat parched.
You shook your head with a soft smile. "It doesnât matter. Youâre awake now."
You tentatively reached for his hands, a soft gasp falling from your lips at the cold touch of his fingers pressing into your palms.
"Your hands are freezing, Ryou" you said, voice laced with concern.
You cradled them to your chest, desperate to work back a spark of warmth to his deathly chilling skin. A soft smile tilted Bakuraâs lips, his heart fluttering at the thought of how much you cared for him. You huddled closer to him, snagging the blanket and dragging it closer to both of you as you threw it over your bodies. You lay on top of Bakura like a protective blanket, trapping him in a bundle of warmth. He chuckled softly, lips brushing against the tip of your nose.
"Thank you."
"Are you alright, Ryou?" you asked, settling into his arms as they circled your waist. "Do you want to talk about it?"
A small hum stirred in the back of his throat. "Not right now. Perhaps in the morning."
A moment of silence fell between you as you hugged Bakura as tight as you possibly could, hoping that it could help make him feel better. You broke the silence with your next question.
"Do you want to go back to sleep?" you asked.
"Not particularly."
"OhâŚI could stay up with you?"
Another soft chuckle blew past his lips. "Itâs okay. You get some rest. You look like you need it."
"Iâm not that tired" you grumbled.
As soon as the words left your lips, you were stifling a yawn. A fond smile stretched Bakuraâs lips as gently pat your back.
"Iâll be fine. Holding you like this is enough for me."

Can you please do an rimmer x fem reader fluff or the episode the gun men of the apocalypse where reader and rimmer are dating.
Sure I can! And why not kind of both?
I am so, so, so sorry it took me so long to write this, it has been a very weird year and I just could not manage to put aside some time to write. I can't promise 2024 will be better, but we all can hope, no?
I hope this is at least a bit satisfactory to you, dear anon, or any of you souls, still lurking around looking for some RD content.
What do you guys say on the news about Red Dwarf: Titan? I was there when they screened the teaser trailer, if one would call it that, and honestly? I'm pretty excited!
Also happy Holidays!
Adrenaline
Arnold Rimmer x Fem!reader
None of you could help but cheer as Starbug flew away from the burning moon, escaping certain doom once again. You were slowly getting used to these situations, but near-death experiences are still near-death experiences and while you tried to focus your mind on the fact that you were alive, your body and nerves were of a different idea.
You were shaking in your seat, gripping the handles and hardly holding back the maniacal laughter of survival. You had enough adrenaline for today, it would probably be better for you to go and calm down, maybe even lay down before you start to crash.
Pulling yourself up on your shaky knees, you excused yourself and stumbled to your room, almost falling on the way out of the control room. Fortunately out of the sight of others, or so you thought. You slowly made your way up the stairs to the sleeping quarters, painfully unaware of the pair of concerned eyes watching you.
Deciding the bed would be the best place to crash onto, you crashed into a much more closer chair, back turned to the door and closed your eyes shut. You were breathing heavily and the sound of the ship was being drowned out by the buzz and thuds in your ears.
A knock caught your attention, albeit barely. "Permission to enter?", you hummed in response, knowing fully well your hologram boyfriend would not take no for an answer and not having enough strength to speak. There was a pause before Rimmer went into the room, but as soon as he did, he cautiously made his way towards you. You could only imagine him looming over you as he tapped on your shoulder.
"I brought you some water," Rimmer announced to you nonchalantly, leaving the glass beside you. You thanked him as you reached for the liquid with both of your shaking hands, but you were positive he barely heard you.
"That was quite a ride, wasn't it? The adrenaline, the thrill!" Rimmer walked around as if giving you an inspirational speech, "Although I have a feeling that for some, it may have been a bit too much, wouldn't you say so, my dear Y/N?". He turned to you with the last sentence, a playful smirk on his lip, but sympathy in his eyes.
You just threw him a look, not amused by his remark, "Yeah, well, not everyone can be as brave as the great Dan McGrew, right, Arn?".
He pouted, "Auch", and knelt down in front of you, reaching his palm to your cheeks, gently caressing. It was always a weird sensation to touch light, soft or hard, not really cold, not really warm. Leaning into his touch, you planted a kiss on his hand, a small smile tugging at the lips of both of you. "You're going to get used to all of this, eventually." Rimmer tried to reassure you, but you just shook your head.
"'Eventualy' isn't soon enough, starlight." the hologram traped your hand in his, squeezing. "It never is, but you'll be fine, I know it.".
You reached your still trembling hand to the one cradling your face, feeling the threat of tears from the stress and weariness. "How?" you whispered, "How are you so sure about this?".
"Love, have you ever seen yourself when we face the unknown? You always keep such a stone-cold face, looking so brave, so fearless! Adrenaline is a powerful muse, the tremble and tears, it's not you, it's just your body, nothing more." Rimmer was now cradling your face in both of his hands, semi-standing, looking directly into your eyes.
"It's only a matter of time until you get used to the rush and once you doâŚ" he paused, maybe because he was searching for words, or maybe just to make his encouragement more meaningful, "You'll be braver than anyone we know."
You leaned forward, wrapping your arms around the holographic body, "Even more than Ace?". You felt him hugging you tightly "Even more than him.".
