A Burning Tree

~ok listen! I know I said that the next part would introduce Revenant!Kung Lao, but I got the brainworm to look at how Liu Kang and Shujinko handled Kung Lao's death and add more Dark!Raiden to the mix. Especially since I was heavily inspired to write a bit more about Dark!Raiden thanks to @sogekii-heii and their recent piece with Dark!Raiden (I still think about that, like oml!)~

~So here we go again! I promise this time, Kung Lao's coming back and it's going to be nasty! Also, this title actually has meaning to it, finish reading to get that meaning! Or skip to the end and get it anyways, idc~

~Before we continue just wanted to put some mild context to ensure this makes sense. Fire God Liu Kang starts getting deja vu as certain coincidences and events start playing out that are too eerily similar to how things played out during the MK9 game. All roads were seemingly leading to Kung Lao dying in his timeline, and Liu Kang struggled with how to cope and deal with this. On one hand, he did not want his friend-…His new teacher…To die, especially since he tried so hard to tailor-make this timeline to ensure everyone got a happy ending.

Yet, at the same time, he refused to stoop down to Kronika's level and start altering the timeline until it was his "perfect" utopia. However, his fears and suspicion about the situation become even more realized when Raiden gets gravely injured, and the only thing that prevented him from kneeling over was the thunder amulet infused with his person (and some other magical shit, idk). From this, Raiden gains his iconic white hair, and this gives Liu Kang a heart attack. To make a long story short, Kung Lao ends up dying at the hands of the villains, Raiden is going through the stages of grief, but he's going down the same dark path as the previous Raiden, now becoming Dark Raiden. And Liu Kang has to finally interfere.~

Still confused? Too late, now on to the story!

Shujinko still remembers that day, when Liu Kang called all his champions to inform them of the news. Old and new Earthrealm warriors were gathered for the news, and it came as a shock to everyone what Liu Kang announced.

"I may have made a…Selfish choice, when I chose each of you to become defenders of Earthrealm. The timeline I originated from, many of you were there as well. Protecting and fighting for our home against threats within and outside of Earthrealm…And with this new era, I foolishly assumed that I could…Replicate the connections that were made before. I have taken up all of your time with new worries, wounds, and ripped you away from the lives you once had before. So…I'm giving you the option…To walk away. From all of this. To return to your homes, your families, the life before I found you. There will be no shame or dishonor if you choose to retire the mantle. I wish each of you a fulfilling life…And I'm sorry."

Shujinko still remembers the near unified gasp and murmurs that filled the room-the questions that erupted in that moment as everyone tried to make sense of Liu Kang's decision. Liu Kang answered any questions that were brought to him, but Shujinko could tell that Liu Kang was set on his decision. Despite Liu Kang's stance on the discontinuation of Earthrealms defenders, many opted to continue their service to their realm, especially when Kuai Liang, Tomas, and Ashra argued against Liu Kang's decision to weaken Earthrealms defenses. And where Liu Kang would've listened to their concerns carefully and worked with others to meet in the middle, the fire god did none of that, uncharacteristically so. It seemed no amount of concrete arguments was going to sway Liu Kang into reconsidering.

If anything, the zeal the Shirai Ryu leaders and Ashra displayed encouraged others to stay and maintain their positions as Earthrealms protectors. After all they've been through, how could one do so? Discovering mystical powers that they all thought to be mythical, experiencing breathtaking realms beyond their own, and for few, the soul-changing truth and reality of their existence. For others, they might not have a home to return to; a life either filled with too many hurtful memories, broken relationships, or homes gone to the wind to never return again. All of that is nigh impossible to walk away from…But walk away few did.

Their reasons for leaving were their own, and they left with their excuses. But there were those who couldn't return to a normal life due to the aforementioned reasons before. They knew too much, saw too much; for some, a bit too much. Like a soldier returning from a grueling war, reconciling an average living after spending years, months, maybe even weeks under the wing of Liu Kang and his academy would be much to bear on the psyche. Almost ominously, Liu Kang promised to fix that for them.

What was done to these warriors was not publicly told, but Shujinko heard rumors and whispers about Liu Kang wiping away the memories of those who couldn't find it in themselves to leave behind their new life to return to their old one. It's presumed it's a consensual exchange, and Shujinko wants to believe that Liu Kang gave them the choice to lose those memories. But there was something disheartening about knowing that old friends Shujinko knew during his time in the Wu Shi Academy now viewed him as a regular stranger. That there are those who returned home who will never recognize the faces of those whom they considered allies, friends, and maybe even lovers.

Shujinko would know that pain. He experienced it before.

Raiden, long before he was exposed to the same memory wipe...When he was...Changed by his former master's death, revealed to him why there were gaps and contradictions in his memories. At that time, Shujinko noticed a change that was present in everyone. People were avoiding him, few wanted to train with him, and others spoke to him in such a careful manner as if they were hiding something from the young pupil. Before, Kung Lao, Raiden, nor Liu Kang would explain why he was treated differently, chalking it up to his new classmates needing time to get to know him.

And for a long time, Shujinko believed that...Until Raiden broke the news to him. It practically came out of nowhere when Raiden revealed this to Shujinko. Shujinko's training was placed in the hands of the thunder wielder, and after Kung Lao's death, he was far rougher and blunt than before, pointing out all his flaws but giving little instruction on how to improve. Even Shujinko's ability to copy other's abilities couldn't prepare him how to fight properly. And, at times, Shujinko thought that Raiden used their time training together as an excuse to use him as a punching bag. None of the other masters at the academy was as ruthless as Raiden was, even the ones who were notorious for being a "tough love" type of mentor. Shujinko slowly began to dread training with Raiden...Feared him even. It was almost like Raiden had some...Sick, twisted desire to break his spirit, along with those he encountered.

It was the day when Shujinko practically BEGGED Raiden to stop his assault on him, clearly yielding, nay, submitting, to the thunder wielder. His glowing white hair and eyes, along with the sparks of lightning bouncing off him, becoming an image Shujinko, even to this day, has a hard time disassociating from his idea of what Raiden is. Raiden gave him a light but firm kick, forcing Shujinko on his back after leaning on his side. Raiden walked a short distance away from him, taking in the mountainous view of the academy. Shujinko took that moment to breathe since Raiden rarely gave him breaks anymore.

"...You've been slightly improving, Shujinko," Raiden kept his eyes trained on the scene before him, his voice tainted with a sinister tone.

Shujinko only moved his eyes to look at his master, remaining silent, for he feared that saying anything would rile the thunder wielder. Especially since the clouds have been a dangerous gray for a long time since they started their brawl.

"But you're barely where you need to be. Not like you used to be, anyways." Raiden gibed, still keeping his view on the mountainous regions ahead.

Shujinko KNOWS he shouldn't speak back, he learned a long time ago with this...New Raiden, what happens when he talks back to him. But something deep inside the young monk wanted to bite back at Raiden. After all this time under Raiden's wing, he's been nothing but demeaning to Shujinko. Everything the pupil did seemingly irritated Raiden to no end. If anything, the reason he's 'barely where he needs to be' is because Raiden beats him to near death and doesn't actually teach him! Not like he used to, at least!

Without thinking, Shujinko opened his mouth, venom escaping his lips as he responded to Raiden, "Maybe I would be getting better if you didn't constantly beat the 'lesson' out of me. You know, like how a true master would teach their student. Even Kung Lao knew that."

There was a threatening pause, a silence Shujinko didn't felt until he heard the frightening sound of thunder in the air. It wasn't until now that Shujinko realized where he first fucked up, especially when he put Kung Lao's name in the conversation. Shujinko quickly sat himself up, hissing in pain slightly as his muscles began to strain, and he was reminded that his left leg was sprained. Raiden still paid him no mind, continuing to keep the stillness between them. Shujinko knew that a possible beatdown was waiting for him, so he tried to sneak away as quickly as possible.

"You know, before General Shao, you were the first person to make an attempt on Kung Lao's life."

Shujinko froze upon hearing that, twisting his head to look at Raiden. He almost wished he hadn't that day because the look of Raiden looking at Shujinko over his shoulder, white eyes staring deep into his soul, was another unforgettable image he could never scrub from his mind. His mind was swimming with questions. What did Raiden mean that he almost killed Kung Lao? Never has he ever intentionally attempted to hurt his former master.

"W-what do you mean, master? I would never hurt Master Kung-"

"It's reasonable that you don't remember, you copycat pest," Raiden chastised, making Shujinko feel goosebumps all over his body when Raiden gave him his full attention. "Liu Kang wiped it all away, the memories of the time you got power hungry and nearly compromised the sanctity of the realms."

This all came as a shock to Shujinko as he stared at Raiden stupidly, not registering that Raiden was slowly approaching him.

"And honestly, I think Liu Kang was too kind to you. I should've seen the threat you would become from a mile away. Especially when I watched you nearly snap Kung Lao's neck with your own bare hands. You should've been put down, like the dog you were and the dog you still are." Raiden continued his encroaching walk toward Shujinko, his hair, and eyes now glowing with power as static encompassed him.

Shujinko starts to uselessly crawl away from Raiden, but too frightened to take his eyes off the thunder wielder. "N-no. No, no, no, I would never-"

"JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T REMEMBER DOESN'T MEAN IT NEVER HAPPENED, SHUJINKO," Raiden shouts at the confused pupil, an arc of lightening crashing next to the cowering student, dangerously close for comfort.

"R-RAIDEN, PLEASE, LEAVE ME ALONE!" Shujinko shrieks as he tries to regain his footing, ready to book it out of there.

But he wasn't fast enough, especially with his sprained leg that slowed him down further. Raiden zapped him with multiple streams of lightning straight from his fingertips as he tased Shujinko, the pained screams of his student bringing great inner delight to Raiden, to the amulet. "You're a threat to our realm, to all the realms. You could've been a valuable asset, but Liu Kang is too busy playing the peaceful politician to utilize you as a weapon. Too busy teaching you about harmony and peace when there are actually world-ending threats out there that could be stomped out if we didn't hold ourselves back. That's what killed Kung Lao..."

Shujinko groans in agony as he tries to get away, Raiden's constant assault making it difficult to move any part of his body. "RAIDEN, PLEASE!"

"...So, I guess the only way you won't become a potential threat, is if you are never a threat at all." Raiden began to intensify the bolts of lighting, the sounds of Shujinko howling in pain becoming music to his ears.

"RAIDEN!"

Finally, the lightning stopped, and Shujinko collapsed from the constant strain on his body. Raiden snapped his head towards Liu Kang, the one who gained his attention before he could finally kill Shujinko. The fire god rushed to the unconscious student before angrily looking at Raiden.

"You could've killed him, Raiden! What's gotten into you!?!"

Raiden stared at Liu Kang, not answering him but not showing any signs of guilt either. After a brief pause, Raiden turned his back on the pair and walked away.

"Raiden! Don't you walk away from me! Rai-"

Before Liu Kang could stop him, Raiden disappeared in a flash of lightning. Something Liu Kang was all too familiar with; Lord Raiden would do the same thing if he were to exit a scene.

The next thing Shujinko knew, he was in the many medical care rooms of the Wu Shi Academy, receiving treatment for his wounds. Multiple nurses dressed his injuries before Liu Kang approached Shujinko, expressing how Raiden would no longer be responsible for training him and that he would be assigned to a new teacher. While that was a relief to his ears...Something else bothered Shujinko.

"...Is it true that I almost killed Kung Lao...That I almost destroyed the realms..."

Liu Kang was so taken aback by this that he didn't immediately answer him.

"...Is that why my memories are missing, Lord Liu Kang? Because I'm a threat?" Shujinko's voice starts to shake as he can feel an overwhelming dread take over him.

Even though Liu Kang didn't answer him, the silence was telling. Despite this, Liu Kang didn't conceal the truth from him. Yes, Shujinko did nearly become a threat to all the realms...And yes, regrettably, he did nearly kill Kung Lao when they tried to subdue him. And there were others that Shujinko did kill...His best friend, Apep...Was one of the many casualties that Shujinko caused. All of this because Shujinko, at that time, became puffed up with pride and hungry for power. But it wasn't something that came out of nowhere. Liu Kang admitted that Kung Lao's early years of being a master at the Wu Shi Academy taught him many lessons in being humble; something Lao had to learn the hard way when he was teaching Shujinko the first time.

Liu Kang had no choice but to wipe his memories away, bringing him back to when he was first found by Liu Kang and his warriors. And like a house fire, the flames burned away nearly every inkling of his repertoire, leaving very little for Shujinko to remember. But that also meant, there was no way to recover those memories, even if Liu Kang wanted to give those memories back. Much like a valued family heirloom that was destroyed during a fire, there is precious little that can recover the lost item.

While this meant that Shujinko would not be haunted by the constant reminder of his failures...It still pained him to think that he COULD be a threat to be reckoned with. If anything, he almost wished he never learned the truth. Living in ignorance would've been preferable to living in fear of himself.

Shujinko blinks, not realizing that he's been standing idle in front of Liu Kang's private quarters for…Who knows how long. He didn't realize he was deep in thought as he was carrying a tray full of food to the fire god.

No one has seen Liu Kang-not since he disbanded the Earthrealm Warriors. Barely a week after that disbandment, Liu Kang became a ghost in his own academy. None of the monks can confidently say where they last saw the fire god. One moment, he's confined to his meditation area, then he's at the zen garden, or his private quarters. Other times, no one knows where Liu Kang is at all. Oftentimes, it was just best to leave offerings for the fire god at his (once) usual spots and come back an hour later. Usually, the contents were gone upon returning to retrieve them.

Shujinko should leave the tray behind, knock on the door, then go. But something compelled him to linger a bit longer after the initial knock.

"…Lord Liu Kang?" Shujinko meekly calls out. He tries the door, and to his surprise, it was unlocked.

"Are you going to l-let me die? Like you did Lao?"

"HE WOULD'VE WANTED TO LIVE WITH ME. SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE WITH ME! HIS FUCKING BOYFRIEND!"

"I LOVED HIM, LIU KANG! WITH ALL MY HEART, I LOVED HIM!!! AND YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME! YOU DID THIS TO ME!!"

"Even if you didn't know fully that Kung Lao would die, why didn't you tell us! Why didn't you save him?"

"BRING HIM BACK! BRING HIM BACK TO ME!"

"Why did you let him die"

Those words will always haunt Liu Kang. The pain in Raiden's voice, the intensity of his lightning strikes, the hatred he felt for Liu Kang. That's not something one can move on from, no matter how many years pass by. But these words cut deeper than Raiden, or anyone could ever imagine

In his youthful, mortal years, Liu Kang made the stupidest decision of his life, and fell in love with a god. Of all the people he could dedicate his life to, a beautiful Outworlder, a fellow best friend, a Special Forces agent, hell, even the Hollywood star would've (not really) been a better contestant than the LITERAL GOD OF THUNDER. An entity that will outlive him by decades, who probably went through multiple lovers-Liu would become another footnote in their unending life. Not only that, but he was pretty much RAISED by this man. He practically went through the entire spectrum of relationships with Raiden, first strangers, then friends, mentor/student, father/son…And now Liu Kang wanted to add lovers to that?

Liu Kang, even then, tried to psyche himself out of falling for Raiden. He had many other suitors, plenty of girls and boys who threw themselves at the Shaolin Monk, and he had plenty of options to choose from. But no matter how he tried, his heart yearned for Raiden. If you asked Liu Kang how he discovered that he grew an affinity for Raiden…There was no straight answer.

Liu Kang can probably point to his formative years as a teen already trying to traverse and reconcile with his growing and changing body. He remembered many times where he lingered at those he found attractive, one of those individuals being Raiden. But back then, Liu Kang assumed that he was just "admiring his physique" and using Raiden as a means of motivation to get stronger.

But the feelings of desire did not fade away as he grew older. If anything, they evolved. Soon, he was having silly daydreams about Raiden. Wondering how it would feel to be held protectively by the thunder god as he lifted them away from danger. What his white mane must feel like, and how Raiden would react if Liu ran his fingers through his hair or braided it. Or perhaps how would Raiden feel if Liu put in the effort to make him a meal, something that Raiden would love. He started noticing little details about Raiden that none did, such as the light glow in Raiden's eyes when he was talking with someone he fancied or the age lines when he smiled. But then these innocent daydreams became…Fuel for more carnal wants. Soon, it developed into memorizing his physique for…Reasons.

Liu Kang began to wonder how it would feel to have Raiden pull at his hair, to whisper in his ear, to pin him down, speak sweet nothings to him, to claim Liu Kang as his, something Raiden could do at any point in time if he wished. A god could take whatever it wanted, and Liu Kang would've gladly let Raiden do whatever he desired with him.

But what outweighed the carnality and the soft trances was the genuine love he felt for Raiden. On the same note of noticing small characteristics of the thunder god, Liu Kang did know of his favorite food (it's nuclear buffalo wings), he knew about Raiden's brother, Fujin, knew about the many adventures that Raiden partook in, both sad and joyful. Liu Kang KNEW Raiden and it made him fall for the god most spectacularly.

But Liu Kang overstepped his boundaries. He and Raiden were sparing together as Liu Kang wanted to demonstrate to Raiden that he was ready for the Mortal Kombat tournament. It was a sweat-inducing endeavor as there was an intense back-and-forth, each of them blocking and countering the others' attacks before finally, Liu Kang gained the upper hand, pinning Raiden below him.

"Do you yield?" Liu Kang says, out of breath.

"Y-yes. I yield," Raiden, just as winded, replied as he shoots Liu Kang with a reassuring smile. "You have improved thanks to Bo' Rai Cho's teachings."

"And I have you to thank for making me a recommendation," Liu readjusts himself on top of Raiden, sitting up on top of Raiden while not applying much weight to the god below him.

There's a moment where Raiden and he are quiet after some idle talk, Liu Kang only noticing that Raiden was staring at him with a growing smile. "…What?"

"You are ready, Liu Kang. You will be the one who will save Earthrealm from Outworld's attempts to merge the realms under their tyranny."

Liu Kang, even though he was praised by Raiden countless times before, cannot help the growing heat from surfacing on his face. He faces away from Raiden before muttering, "You flatter me, Lord Raiden…"

"You'll need a constant reminder that I, along with every defender of Earthrealm, will be cheering for you during the tournament. The kombatants you will encounter will test your might, your vigor, and your mental capacities. I believe you are ready. I know you will become the chosen defender that Earthrealm needs." Raiden softly professed as he leaned up, using his elbows to leverage himself.

Liu Kang looked at Raiden, meeting the thunder god eye-to-eye. Liu Kang saw his whole world in Raiden's white pupils, soaking in every hint of emotion that was displayed in front of him.

"Liu Kang?"

Liu didn't even realize that he was leaning closer to Raiden.

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Liu Kang didn't even register that Raiden was asking questions.

Before Liu Kang knew it, he pressed his lips together with Raiden's. At last, his hearing decided to work so that he could hear the surprised "mph!" noise from the thunder god. It was perhaps Liu Kang's first kiss, he wasn't as adventurous as Kung Lao, who definitely had a few run-ins with various individuals. It being Liu Kang's first, it wasn't anything remarkable, but it was memorable to Liu Kang…But not for the reasons he would've wanted.

When they finally parted, Liu Kang felt like he could breathe again. The shocked expression plastered on Raiden's face, however, was unexpected. They both remain in total silence, neither making a move nor taking the first step to speak. Raiden would finally be the first to move, which indicated for Liu Kang to finally get off the thunder god. Liu Kang, courteously, helped Raiden back on his feet, his hand, however, did not leave Raiden's.

"…I…I must go," Raiden quickly excused himself, disconnecting his hand from Liu Kang.

Liu Kang watched Raiden leave, and the feeling of awkwardness and humiliation quickly overwhelmed him.

Since that day, the pair seemed to share the same idea of just avoiding each other. But where Liu Kang was avoiding Raiden out of embarrassment, Raiden...Liu Kang couldn't figure him out (that bit of mysteriousness always being an aspect of Raiden he did like). Before, Liu Kang didn't mind it, but when Liu Kang began to rediscover the courage to approach Raiden, the thunder god was always turning the other way or shortening their conversations considerably. He could never get a moment with Raiden as he was always in discussion with someone else, busy with other matters, or needed to consult those dreaded Eldar Gods.

But they would finally have a one-on-one...A literal week before the official Mortal Kombat tournament. Liu Kang and Kung Lao were sitting with their Shaolin Monk brethren and family, the spiritual brothers jesting from across the table and talking about their eventful day. Raiden was missing from the scene, but he would suddenly appear in the mess hall where they were all meeting.

"Liu Kang, do you have a moment?"

Many faces turn to Liu Kang with curiosity. The same kind of energy children would have when one is called to the principal's office. Liu Kang feels a knot in his stomach, and he wipes his face with an available napkin, "Yes, Lord Raiden."

"Ooh~! You're in trouble~" Kung Lao jokes, releasing the tension effortlessly in the room.

Liu Kang smirks at his friend, throwing a dumpling at the razerhat wielder before skipping away from the table. Approaching Raiden and meeting him out in the hallway, he noticed that Raiden continued to walk further into the Shaolin Temple.

"Was there a reason for my audience, Lord Raiden?" Liu Kang finally asked after a couple turns here and there, but Raiden still remained silent. The knot in Liu Kang's stomach grows tighter as he anticipates their stop, which means he'll finally be informed the news.

Liu Kang tried to calm himself when they finally reached a secluded area in the temple, outside near the zen garden. Raiden stops in his tracks near a still-in-bloom cherry blossom tree. Funnily enough, it was the same tree he and Kung Lao would often play near when they were children before sometimes secretly training together under said tree.

"...Is there...Something wrong, Raiden?" Liu Kang drops the professionalism as he tries to make this personal, trying to appease to the human side of Raiden.

"...About that...Day...When we both...When we both sparred together as we tested your skills for the tournament."

OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK!

Liu Kang visibly (and if possible, verbally) swallows as he stares at Raiden's back, the thunder god still not facing Liu Kang and meeting him eye-to-eye.

"...Yes..." This was all Liu Kang could utter as he waited for Raiden to continue.

"I...Um..." Even Raiden was loss for words, as if he just decided RIGHT NOW that he wanted to talk about this. "...I...I recognize that you have developed a fondness for me."

It felt like Liu Kang's heart was going to jump out of his body or crawl out of his mouth. A large part of his being was vibrating with excitement. Is this it? Is this the part where they finally take the next step? Liu Kang couldn't help but step in place, leaning against one foot before placing added pressure on the other. Liu Kang wanted to say it. He wanted to declare his emotions in from of Raiden before the thunder god could finish.

"I love you. I love you so much, Raiden. You have no idea the night I would stay up with you on my mind. The pain I go through because I wanted to be near you, close to you, with you."

All of this and more, Liu Kang wanted to confess, but he is disciplined, he is patient. He will wait for Raiden to finish his thought, if he has more to tell.

"...And I have that same...Care for you too, Liu Kang. There's much history between us, and I can understand that you may have grown a deeper affinity for me."

There's a BUT in there. There's a MASSIVE BUT in there. But Liu Kang didn't hear it. He was too enamored, far too blinded by his own love for Raiden to even recognize the writing on the walls.

"But I must, respectfully, decline your love for me."

Liu Kang's world felt like it shattered around him. Somewhere, deep down, Liu Kang knew this could be a possibility. A high probability, in fact.

But it didn't make it hurt any less. Liu Kang stared at Raiden dumbfound. There must be a reason why. Is he not his type? Is it due to the circumstances with the tournament? Is Raiden already seeing someone else? What was the reason?

"…Goodnight, Liu Kang," and Raiden proceeded to walk away. Or, at least, attempt to.

It took all of Liu Kang's willpower to surge after him and grab his wrist, "Wait! W-why can't we? I mean, you said you felt the same way, so why do you 'decline.'" Liu Kang didn't mean to sound desperate, but he wanted to know. Maybe there might still be a chance he can still win Raiden's love.

"Liu Kang, you're letting your emotions control you. I said what I said; there's nothing more to it-"

Liu Kang forces himself in his line of sight, "Why Raiden. That's all I ask."

"Does the why really matter, Liu Kang?"

"It matters enough to me as your friend…"

"…We're not compatible," Raiden tries to say with finality.

"And why is that?"

"Liu-"

"Is it because I'm mortal? The tournament?"

"Liu Kang!" Raiden's eyes flare with godly power as his voice booms like thunder. This immediately quiets Liu Kang. Raiden takes a moment to breathe, reeling back his anger. "…You have many admirable qualities. You're handsome, patient, caring, determined, and good-willed. These are aspects that anyone would fall for and would be lucky to have you as their significant other. And…Perhaps, in another life, I could return your feelings. But I cannot provide you the happiness you think I can give. The amount of responsibilities and burdens…I'm sorry, but I just wouldn't be able to emotionally and physically give back to you."

Liu Kang was speechless as he gazed at Raiden. It hurts too that Raiden is just too good at keeping a stoic look, so Liu Kang can't even find any cracks in his "it's not you, it's me" speech.

"We both will have our 'plates filled' during and after the tournament. A lot of opportunities will be heading your way. I know a mortal's life is short; one must grab at every chance of life that one can. But believe me when I say, that you will find someone who will love you more than I ever could. And it might end up being someone unexpected." Raiden smiles as he places a hand on Liu Kang's shoulder.

Liu Kang slowly hangs his head low slightly, not exactly looking at Raiden's feet, but not meeting his gaze either. "I'm sorry for lashing out, Lord Raiden."

"Do not apologize, it's natural. Believe it or not, I have had plenty of experience with such bursts of emotions. I will always love you, Liu Kang, and I pray that someone will love you more than I do."

When Liu Kang recreated this timeline, his main goal and motivation was always to provide his friends a new life. A better life. A second chance at being happy. And sometimes, that meant changing and altering events so that his friends and companions could achieve that life they'd always wanted.

That's why Raiden's words cut so close to home. The old Raiden, the former thunder god, his mentor, his father…The one that got away. Liu Kang only wanted Raiden to be happy because he saw, from the outside looking in, the stress and pressure Raiden had to maintain on his own. And being a fire god himself, he can finally reconcile with those tough decisions Raiden burdened himself with. There were times Liu Kang just wanted to hold him, to kiss away any tears or fears Raiden had.

But they were never meant to be, but that never meant that Raiden's happiness never came first for Liu Kang. Liu Kang may not be able to provide for Raiden emotionally or physically, but he can give him a life where he doesn't have to worry about a single thing. So he put Raiden in his shoes and gave him everything Liu Kang would've wanted. A loving family, a best friend, a wise mentor…A home…Everything Liu Kang has lost or never had, he gave to Raiden…In some way, it was almost like a thank-you gift to the one god who gave him everything in his mortal life.

"Lord Liu Kang?"

Liu Kang opens his eyes as he's slightly disturbed from his meditation. He can see Shujinko peeking through the door, a tray full of food. I'm sorry to disturb you. I wanted to bring you a meal from the mess hall…"

Liu Kang's glowing eyes stare at the young pupil, and he gestures for him to enter. The young man hurries into Liu Kang's quarters, taking brief seconds to admire the gods' room before setting the tray in from of Liu. Just as Shujinko was about to leave, Liu Kang speaks up, "Please, sit with me. I…I would like the company."

"R-really?" Shujinko looks at Liu Kang in utter surprise. He doesn't know anyone in the academy who has sat down with Liu Kang ever since the fire god decided to isolate himself. He's probably the first in a long time to actually SEE Liu Kang in so long. "Are you sure?"

Liu Kang smiles as he picks up the bowl of rice and chopsticks. "I don't eat much anymore. You can have some of the items presented."

Shujinko was still dumbfounded as he watched Liu consume the rice. Shujinko would finally sit across from Liu and pick up a slice of bread and carefully takes a bite. The pair ate in silence, which was more than enough for Liu Kang. Just being near someone, even if it was someone he wasn't too familiar with, Liu Kang knew that at some point, he needed to break this cycle. If Kung Lao was here, he would've scolded him and drag his sorry-ass outside, and forced him to to rekindle himself with the world at large. Liu Kang actually chuckles to himself as he thinks about this.

"Hmm?" Shujinko looks at Liu Kang startled.

"Nothing, Shujinko…Just thinking…" Liu Kang smiles.

~whoo, I wrote "considerably" less this time around :D! So, the reason why I picked the title "Burning Tree" is because I was thinking of Shujinko because trees are often associated with family ties and how they're connected to each other. In this case, its more memories than any familial ties Shujinko has with the characters. With his memories gone, it's like a tree burning (or a better analogy being the house fire I mentioned in the story). A burnt tree is nigh reversible and you are stuck with whatever was left behind, if anything was even left behind. That can go hand in hand with Shujinko's (and even Raiden's) memories when Liu Kang removed them. Liu Kang, being the god of fire, can take away those painful memories, but once the deed is done, is irreversible. Even the most dedicated of therapy sessions won't return those lost memories. But like embers after a flame, small fragments might still remain. See, I'm hella smart :D. Also, if it wasn't obvious already, I'm a big Liu Kang/Raiden lover and I was shocked to see there was barely any fics about the pair on AO3. The horror!~

Nightmare whump for you where Bowser gets cursed by some enemy of his to have vivid and realistic nightmares every single time he sleeps. They consist of his kids or you being in extreme danger that he either can't save you from or that he's causing.

Just think about how much he would distance himself from the fear. It all feels so real to him everytime he looks at his claws he flashes back to the nightmares where your blood stains them. He starts losing sleep over it and you've gotta try to help him. You've also gotta get the kids to be more gentle around him because he's sensitive.

I'm finally getting to answering these oml -

Bowser would probably start to hate himself. Well, not hate, but he'd be wary. After the nightmares become more common and it becomes difficult for him to tell what's real and what was just a nightmare, he'd start acting differently. Gone would be his boldness. Rather than a blaze of fire he'd act like a withering ember trying to keep itself burning. He'd push you away either by busying himself or barely replying to you.

It's better that way right? It doesn't risk him hurting you.

Wrong.

He's so very wrong because you are not going to take it.

He'd never tell you exactly what happens in the nightmares but you understand the cause of them. You know who did it and you can infer what it's making him see. From the way he slouches around you and the children like a deflated balloon, to the way he keeps his fists clenched to hide his claws away, you don't need to guess to know what he sees.

It'd take a lot of coaxing for him to accept your comfort. He'd feel underserving and scared that he'd see you hurt in the waking world too - that that blood will stain his yellow scales red - but eventually he'd lean into your touch. He'd let you gently cup his snout in your hands and tell him how everything will be okay. He'd let your hold his paws and litter them with kisses.

Bowser would never say it, but that alone would ease a little bit of his fear.

Still, he wouldn't want to sleep in the same bed as you. He wouldn't trust himself. Not with the terror that follows him straight after being startled awake.

However, if we follow the fantasy castle layout, you'd have your own room joined to the king's and leaving the door open would be enough. You'd be able to hear when he's having a nightmare and though you might not be able to stop it entirely, you would be able to lull him out of it. you'd be able to talk him awake and then relax his mind from a distance.

You'd need to be very gentle, that's all.

And you'd need to explain that to the children too. "Be gentle." No more climbing his shell, no more running around and dragging him by his hands. They'd need to be gentle and careful so that Bowser is comfortable to push past this curse. Not like you'd mention that fact.

The older kids would understand the gist of it. They had either overheard the Magikoopas talk or they saw it in Bowser's eyes. The younger kids would have to be convinced.

"You all need to be gentle around the king for a little while, okay?"

"But why?"

"Because the king requires a little space. He's gotten... a little bit stronger and he needs time to adjust."

"But why?"

"Because he doesn't want to hurt any of you by accident."

"But we're strong too!"

"I know. You all are very strong. But the king is still frightened."

"But why?"

"Because he loves you."

Started writing down what I did today to make lil summary posts cuz I've seen people do that before and like the idea of sharing more about my runs :)

Act 1 Spoilers!

The first thing I did was talk to Omeluum and Blurg, and I js wanna say I love them :) they're so husbands. We also went to the Arcane Tower and unlocked it and such, very nice, got the timmask spores and tongue of madness, forgot to go back to Blurg and Omeluum. Oops. Discovered that the tower has a BASEMENT!?

Spent a lot of time talking to corpses for fun. Canonically Soph would never- he'd rarely ever touch necrotic magic of any kind of ever. It would also freak him tf out.

We got Astarion's Sussur dagger!!! It's probably one of my favorite weapons in the early game, fuck them spellcasters fr. ALSO since I'm playing Tactician and long rests cost 80 camp supplies rather than fourth I've been very greedy with it so when we went into the Underdark Astarion was like "Hey .. Can I ermm tell you something. I'm. I'm a vampire." and Soph just said "Duh" and moved on 😭😭😭

Also for the not long resting reason Wyll only recently got his horns. Told Mizora to fuck off, and of COURSE called Wyll a handsome devil. Am growing increasingly aggravated as time goes on, however, about a lack of Wyll content. He literally won't even say well met anymore he has ONE LINE. no variety, just "You have something to ask?"

Dug up a dog's grave. I'm so sorry Myrna. Apologized by putting some flowers and a candle on it, it was all I had unfortunately.

I actually long rested twice in an row, one without using any camp supplies ofc, because I wanted the invisible Durge cape and it's actually shockingly good on Soph. I should probably give it to Astarion but I don't want to :(

Went to the mountain pass because I didn't want to go to grymforge, stole everything from the bitch who wanted the githyanki egg then murdered her because I hate her and what the fuck

fought the gremishkas (Astarion one shot a surprising AMT of them, it was awesome) and the Kobold. I tried to blow up as little of the wine as I could because more camp supplies, and found out you can apparently pocket the fire wine barrels with kobold still on them. This will be incredibly funny when I use the barrels as bombs later. DAMN I FORGOT TO TAKE A SS OF MY BARREL BOMB COLLECTION. Here's one from yesterday, though it's grown.

went to creche y'llek . went to the zaithisk, let Lae'zel use it, did this on the first persuasion check, did not use an inspiration.

Absolutely brutalized the bitches outside of the infirmary, I put an oil barrel underneath one of the light fixtures then shot it down at the start of the fight 😭😭😭

went to fight kith'rak therezynn, remembered why I ate the mountain pass. had to reload like three times until I was like fuck this Wyll go home Gale use arcane lock on this stupid door and then it was going decently well Lae'zel knocked the soul breaker out of her hands and later got her own weapon knocked out of her hands, perfect time to switch to the soul breaker I'd say. near the end of the fight a random fucking raider spawned right next to therezynn. just poof. right into existence. I was floored and slightly annoyed but therezynn hit him w a burning hands and took off half his health anyways???

Soph told the Inquisitor he can't have the weapon, the Inquisitor did not like this. Lae'zel stole his sword too and nearly killed him in four hits. He did become a pain in the ass w the mind steal link tho because oml he stole his own teammates minds or whatever. didn't know he'd do that. Wyll went down to this ranged attacker multiple times and I tried to use heat metal on him but he WASNT METAL. BULLSHIT. LOOK AT ALL THAT M E T A L.

Anyways, Soph got pissed about them hurting Wyll, went crazy went stupid, murdered the absolutely 100% has metal on him guy and one of the last spellcasters. told vlaakith to fuck off, visited the dream visitor, said get up boy I ain't killing you, signed off, and will now go eep.

Ty for reading :3

- He takes so much pride in being able to be with someone like you

- He compliments you EVERY WAKING SECOND HE LOOKS AT YOU OML

- “babe you’re so gorgeous” or something along the lines of that

- man’s a bigass flirt

- He gets jealous out in public tho lmao

- He’ll literally growl at the other men staring at you 💀

- or he’ll set their asses on fire while grabbing your ass and flipping them off at the same time (yes it’s in this exact order that he does it)

- No one’s gonna steal you from him >:)

- Even marines don’t wanna attack you?

- damn right they won’t

- not on his watch

- If one even looks at you with a flirty gaze you will get your ass squeezed

- And he’ll give them a glare, showing them who you belong to

- he’s not complaining that the marines don’t wanna attack you, he knows why they won’t attack you 🙄💅

- When you’re not confident in your looks oh god this man will literally make it his life goal to make you feel confident in yourself

- “Babe what..? You don’t think you’re pretty?! Does Marco need to check your eyes?! Wait did you eat something weird..? Are you feeling ok?!”

- Man will mf force Marco to do a whole checkup on you

- when he catches you staring at yourself in the mirror with a dissatisfied look

- He’ll fucking punch the mirror 💀👍

- “babe. Look at me. You’re the most gorgeous, amazing, beautiful, cute, best girlfriend ever ok? And if anyone ever says differently I’ll beat the shit out of them.”

- you felt better after that :)

- When you two are cuddling, he compliments every place he kisses 🥺

- if he kisses your cheeks he’ll say, “Look at these cute cheeks.” Same with every other body part

- he treats you like the damn drop dead gorgeous queen you are 👑

- also side note he brags about how gorgeous you are to Marco just to annoy the shit outta him 💅

- “Hey Marco! Isn’t Y/n gorgeous today??”

- “Yeah I guess so.” Mf not even looking up from what he was doing 👍

- “GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!”

- he thought marco was flirting with you and started trying to hurt him 💀

- you had to calm him down with some cuddles later :’)

- be confident, this man has more confidence in you than in himself 😭

- will not hesitate to beat the shit out of your negative consciousness 🫡

Sabo

- He’s a gentleman <3

- This man knows you’re so pretty, and makes sure you know he thinks that

- “You look so pretty y/n.” And he usually kisses your cheeks when he says that 🥺

- he sees absolutely no flaws in you

- you’re so perfect to him

- Like he almost finds you unreal sometimes

- “Y/n are you real..?” (When he’s kinda half asleep)

- “Mhm- I’m real Sabo.”

- “Noo you’re an Angel..”

- Amnesia 💀

- When he’s half asleep it’s like he’s drunk and will literally question whether you’re real or not

- He tries to poke you to make sure you’re not a ghost

- He’ll also ask you to pinch him to make sure he’s not dreaming 👍

- he despises most marines, so seeing them staring at you in public makes him angry

- He’ll put an arm around your waist and pull you closer to him

- Behind his back, his hands go into the ryusoken position, his eyes glaring at them

- He does it so discreetly that you almost don’t even notice he’s literally killing the marines with just his eyes

- “Sabo? What’s wrong?”

- “Oh nothing, don’t worry about it y/n.” He had the most innocent looking smile when he said that lmao

- he says it so innocently just after he made the marines collapse with fear 🫡

- If he finds you saying that you’re not that confident in your looks, I think you might’ve broken the man

- like- what???

- huh?

- “y/n what do you mean..? Are you talking about another girl?”

- “No Sabo- I’m talking about myself.”

- “What-??”

- Man’s confused af give him a second to fully comprehend what you just said

- He honestly doesn’t know what to say 😭

- Like- he doesn’t know why you don’t think you’re pretty

- koala will literally start yelling at him

- “STOP TRYING TO USE LOGIC AND JUST MAKE HER FEEL BETTER DUMBASS!” -koala 2022

- He ends up making a whole ass list of everything on you that he finds beautiful

- he might’ve listed every single physical feature about you so it was about an hour’s worth of explaining exactly what’s beautiful about you 🥺

- “Your eyes are the most perfect shape, the most beautiful sunset couldn’t even compare to your eyes.”

- man’s a poet 👍

- he’s trying his best :’)

- you give him a hug and he feels a bit better, he’s glad he could help you get the confidence you deserve <3

- he’s glad he doesn’t have to worry about marines trying to capture you

- but still, he HATES it when they look at you like that, it makes him so angry

- koala will literally go batshit on him if he beats random marines up for looking at you so he refrains from doing that

- but sometimes he can’t control himself, and instead of you giving him a lecture about how that’s not ok, koala does it

- Sabo will come out from the lecture with at least 10 new bruises and red marks on his cheeks (bec she literally pulls them like he’s Luffy 💀)

- he loves you sm and thinks you’re too pretty for this world <3

- he needs to protect you with all he’s got

a/n - why do I always feel prettier after writing these 😭 I hope you enjoyed anon! I really dunno how Sabo acts so I had to look up some Sabo stuff. All I found was Koala lecturing him and here we are 🫡

Hey, hello, hi^^ hope u have a wonderful day because u deserve all the love and support ngl😔💕

How about a shy/anxious y/n who just clings onto her bf but immediately pulls away and starts apologising and becomes a blushing mess because she thinks she might be a little too annoying with Chuuya/Dazai/Atsushi/Akutagawa 💫

❥ Bsd characters with a shy s/o who thinks she is annoying

❥— Includes Dazai, Atsushi and Chuuya

ᴀ/ɴ: hey! thank you a lot bby <3 I hope you like this and that I did your request justice, i also got lazy about akutagawa so sorry; and I apologize it’s late 🥺💘 goodness did this take me so long to finish cause wow inspiration

Dazai Osamu:

He is observant

As we all know

Y/N don’t raise your flip flop at me stfu

He probably caught on your anxiety so he is always ready with open arms for you onto latch him

And he loves any attention from you so it’s a win-win

But he obviously noticed how you would pull back as quickly as possible when you notice you are clinging to him

And even start apologizing

That made him wonder 💭

Cause like you are usually somewhat okay with physical affection

So why are you pulling back?

Only to find out that you are thinking he might think you are annoying

To which he reacts to with

“HUH?! WHAT? ME? THINK MY BELLADONNA’S AFFECTION IS ANNOYING?!”

He is so offended oml

He would tower over you when he finds out also if you are tall/ the same height as him then he will stand on his desk to fully look down at you

Why?

Because he is a little shit like that and likes to have a BIGGGGGG entrance

Then would just pout and go puppy eyed

“Belladonna how could you believe that I think that your cute-self clinging to me is annoying? 🥺”

And ever since then if you ever do it again

He is biting your nose

Yes that’s still under the nose appreciation category

Squish your cheeks

And if you blush once again then he will abuse his power to do so

He doesn’t care about whoever is watching btw

You are still going to be teased until you are a pot of fire

He does hug you a lot in front of people and even alone to show you that he doesn’t find it annoying

A little disappointed in himself because despite his efforts he wasn’t able to make you feel welcomed

That might lead to some rather sad thoughts of his past so make sure to be there for him

But he still won’t show you he is even having them

And if you are ever anxious while talking to someone

He will look at you for confirmation before directly the conversation towards him and being the one to answer

While he is holding your hand rubbing circles onto it

Chuuya Nakahara:

“HUH?!”

Chihuahua break out

Will glare at you a little cause like why would you think you are annoying?

He is literally all over you at home

I think Chuuya would be an absolute simp for the special someone he loves

Anyways back to this

It will take him a while to notice that you do so because you get anxious around people (socializing is hard bleh)

But he does get the hint that you are uncomfortable in the situation

So he takes the lead in the conversation and distracts them from you while holding you close

When you first latch on him and starts apologizing pulling back

He is like ???

“Why are apologizing, dove?”

If you shake it off then it will be under his list of “to be observed”

Time by time and he confronts you

“Y/N, why do you always apologize to me when you hug me outside in front of someone?”

Oh my he used your name 🤭

As I said before

“HUH?!”

Starting from that moment

He will try to show you furthermore affection

Why?

To show you that he actually loves it when you do that

Makes him feel all giddy inside that you find protection by him >w<

And he now picks up on the situation easily

He can tell when you start feeling anxious

So he will pull gently by the arm towards his embrace

Then when you guys go back home

He will pepper your face with kisses

So he can remind you that he loves you and that he doesn’t care about anything else

He openly feels prideful when you latch onto him too

He thought you might think its weird

But now you both revealed your secrets about said situation

Oh btw if you blush at first then I can see him smirking and teasing you just a little

Just a little unlike someone who is a brunette and by coincidence is in the same post 🙄

Other than that he will probably do his best to make you comfortable and happy <3

Atsushi Nakajima:

So you two are pretty shy

So affection was limited because you people get flustered by almost everything anyways

But let me tell you that he gets so happy when you cling to him

Still freaks out but we will take what we can get

He likes protecting and saving people so it makes him content seeing you rely on him

But then you pull away and start apologizing and he is like

“did I do something wrong? (つ .•́ _ •̀.)つ”

Yeah I am living my life with those faces, sue me

I think he would ask and confront you about it

“Hey n/n, did I do something that bothered you?”

And would constantly reassure you too so like “Wait why are you apologizing- there is nothing wrong!” or “It’s okay!”

So timeskip to one day when you courageously ask him “…Atsushi, do you think I am annoying?”

His mind would go b l a n k

Some time to process then—

“WHAT?! NO I COULD NEVER! WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?!”

Panic and more panic

Sorta like how he panicked when he was showing kyoka around and said it was a “date”

What did he do that made you feel that he thinks you are annoying? :(

He does end up being quite the determined one in wanting to show you just how much he loves hugging you

Initiating hugs, kisses despite being a blushing mess himself and so on and so forth

God I can’t wait for the weekend so I can sleep

Anyways so

you also told him about being anxious around people at times and so he cheerfully butts in the conversation to make the person stop paying unwanted and uncomfortable attention to you

He will hold pinkies with you too and squeeze it lightly to indicate that he gets it and is gonna help you out

I love how most of the time when I run out of ideas I just basically tell people

Which is right now btw

Lemme brainstorm some more wait

Let me include dazai in this

Dazai’s subordinate is Atsushi, right?

Now dazai will tease the shit out of atsushi

So like when for example he holds pinkies with you and directs the conversation to him

Dazai in the back would be like “oh my, atsushi-kun is being such a gentleman, sparing his anxious love from the horrendous struggles of socializing with people~”

“CAN YOU JUST LET ME HAVE THIS—“

He in fact did not let him have this

Kyoka likes seeing you two together and how he is so helpful and supportive towards you, not to mention how she thinks it’s a bit cute seeing you apologize over something atsushi obviously likes (being hugged by you <3)

ITS A WIN WIN FOR THE AGENCY AND YOU AS WELL AS ATSUSHI NAKAJIMA OUR LOVELY PROTAGONIST

do not copy or plagiarize or you will be reported

oh my days!! jo!! you’ve done it again 😳 ok but like imagine big gruff dilf bakugo being so protective of you, although he giggles when you get spooked from a bug, he’s also the first to invite you into his extra big sleeping bag 🥺 so he can wrap his big arms and warm hands around you, snuggling into your neck, his stubble grazing your nape 😳😳 a-and that’s where you have your first kiss !! why am I squealing 😩 and when the audience started to notice!! oml they’re going crazy, tagging both your accs, zoomed in pics of how his hands linger on your waist and how you look into his eyes with sOFTNESS 🥺🥺 jo- 😩😩 it’s fooking Katie price and Peter Andre all over again bUT OML IMAGINE- ok,, calm down! still pro-hero grand comes into the jungle as a surprise celeb!! he’s freshly divorced and fucking ready for the jungle!! he’s had his eye on you, seen how his competition (bakugo) is doing; he’s ready for a new image and a rise in popularity! The media would be in a frenzy!! fucking lord shindo asking YOU to be his personal assistant, going out on dingo dollar challenges, asking YOU for a tour of the grounds.. yeah.. nothing like some healthy competition for you bakugo 😂

- 🎀 (oml I forgot to put my anon tag on the last ask and I oop)

Ahhh yes!! And like you know when you have to go and get wood for the fire or water for the shower he always carries everything back to the camp. His muscles flexing, thick veins bulging out as he acts like the mass weighs nothing.

Imagine the fans at home going absolutely wild for it, all the tweets streaming in and the pictures that they're screenshotting of you both together?

Shindou coming into the jungle as a late entry, and even though they're not allowed to watch the show when he's held up in the hotel he knows all about you. And there is no way he's going to give up to Bakugou that easy. Imagine Bakugou and Shindou doing an eating trial together or something and they keep throwing insults at each other?

But its impossible for Shindou to win when Bakugou comes back from one of those nasty trials all covered in gunge, guts and bugs absolutely stinking but you still come towards him to tell him how proud you are of him and how excited you are that he got all the stars. And he like holds you back to stop you from getting dirty, but you walk to the showers with him and offer to help pump the shower so he can wash.

OMG AND IMAGINE DOING THE CYCLONE WITH HIM? Like when the downpour happens you get pushed back but he comes up behind you, with your star and helps push you back onto your spot. Cheekily giving your butt a smack before continuing further up towards his star.

Astrovations #3

DISCLAIMER

● Please remember that everything matters. Thus, planets aspecting definetly play a role on how certain things may play out in life

● Debilitations upon planets happen! (Definitely know this upon personal experience and my mothers chart)

Thank you, now enjoy you beautiful strangers

•°•°•☆•°•°•

💜 Ive noticed wherever pluto is in someones natal chart is the house where they tend to transform the most in life

(Ex - Markipliers and his 5th house of creativity/entertainment, same with BTS Jimin)

(Ex 2 - Jeffree Star and his 10th house of career, he has changed a lot on career wise. Plus now he owns like multiple businesses)

JUST AN OBSERVATION TEST

(I thought about this and thought it seemed like maybe it would make sense, sorry if it doesn't, I was just curious 😔)

💜 Whatever your zodiac moon is, is what aspect of life you show more emotions towards most likely (I just thought about this)

Plz lmk ✍ if ✍ this ✍ is true ✍ or not

💜 Fire dominant moms are terrifying when angry and can whoop ya a-

💜 The sign on your 8th/6th can show what problems you may deal with physically and health wise

(I've only read up on this before so don't take it to heart!)

(However I have Aries in my 6th and I get headaches a lot, and Taurus in my 8th, ive dealt with teeth and ear/hearing problems when I was younger)

Aries - Head, skull, brain

Taurus - Throat, ears, teeth

Gemini - Speech, lungs

Cancer - Skin,fertility maybe

Leo - Heart, blood circulation

Virgo - intestines

Libra - intestines also (something with food)

Scorpio - genitals

Saggitarius - eyes

Capricorn - bones

Aquarius - limbs of the arms and legs

Pisces - nerves

💜 12th house planets/Scorpio rising could mean you need to take a break from socializing at times. Your energy is DRAINED my guy. Go get that bag of chips you never ate and soda and watch 👏 some 👏 netflix 👏 now 👏

💜 Water moons/12th house might get emotional or even cry from listening to sad music that was purposefully picked

💜 Spychic people get physical chills when listening to a song that really moves them

💜 ANY MF ZODIAC, PLANET PLACEMENT, DONT TOUCH THEIR FOOD. I DID NOT PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE ONLY FOR YOU TO TAKE YOUR GRUBBY HANDS IN THERE AND SNACK YOUR WAY TO FREEDOM. THERE WILL BE KARMA flashbacks

💜 Saggitarius rising widen their eyes when mad. Talking back to them? 🗡👁👁🔥

💜 Saggitarius rising probably like sarcasm at times

💜 NOT ALL PISCES MARS HAVE FOOT FETISHES AND WANT TO PUT TOES IN A SOUP WITH A SIDE OF FOOT CALLUSED HEELS 🤮😫 I HATE FEET- TAKE YA TOE BEANS OVER THERE

💜 Saggitarius with Gemini in ascendant can make a person a know-it-all. Even if they don't think they come off that way 💀

💜 The whole things about having similar signs in the big 3 as your family, is SO true oml, some evidence is my family, y'all should check yours out!

My Mom:

Sun - Aries

Moon - Libra

Rising - Sagittarius

Me:

Sun - Libra

Moon - Cancer

Rising - Scorpio

Little Brother:

Sun - Cancer

Moon - Aries

Rising - Scorpio

Older Brother:

Sun - Gemini

Moon - Sagittarius

Rising - Libra

Dad:

Sun - Libra

Moon - (Unknown)

Rising - (Unknown)

💜 Something I've learned from Vedic over the time I've learned it, is if you need a better way of reading yours or someones chart, start off with a house. Then ask the following -

- What's it's zodiac?

- What planets are in the house?

- How are they aspecting eachother?

- How are they aspecting other planets in other houses?

Then check where your zodiac of that house's ruler is (ex: Scorpio on the 6th, where is pluto? What house is it in? How does it correlate to the 6th in any way?)

Then check the planets in the 6th and see where their zodiacs are. (Ex: mars in the 6th, well, Where's aries? What house is it in?)

And slowly you can piece things together one by one 😃

💜 A way of checking how you will meet your future spouse

● For women, check where Jupiter is

● For men, check where Venus is

● If you are lesbian or gay - check whatever sign correlates to your gender

The Steps

● What house is Jupiter in and what does that house represent ?

● What is the zodiac of that house/what does the zodiac mean, and where is it's ruler?

● Where is Jupiters Traditional ruler (Pisces) you can also look for Sagittarius if you want

● AND OF COURSE, don't forget to check the 7th and what's happening there if you want since it isss the house of relationships!

● (this one I'm guessing on) but check for the house jupiter is in, and its original ruler and zodiac sign, where are they placed?

Example:

● Jupiter sits in the 11th house of Virgo

● Jupiters original zodiac (Pisces) is in the 5th house (party, fun, games, love, children, theater)

● Pisces represents fish/water etc

● 11th house represents gatherings, friends, networking, technology as well

● Virgo's ruler (mercury) is in the 12th house

● 12th represents foreign things, "behind the scenes" hospitals etc

● 12th house is in Libra, libras ruler (venus) is in the first

● 7th house is in Taurus (bulls, bowls)

What can we get from this?

Multiple outcomes

● A concert

● Online

● With friends

● With children

● At a performance

● Stuff like thiss......

Look out for

● Bulls in anyyyy way

(Bull horns, bull statue, bull sticker on someone, horns on a wall of the restaurant, bull horns anywhere, something with the word bull in it "bullhouse" "oh thats bullshiii) It can be as small as a words

💜 Scorpio Risings are pretty common nowadays from what I've seen 😂

💜 Juno square Uranus could feel restricted from freedom when they are in a romantic relationship. This can give a push and pull effect of Juno pulling towards the relationship, wanting it so much, but Uranus pushes away wanting to be more independant and feeling more free. So this aspect has a chance of leading to different marriages, however this would only be at it's worst 😅

💜 Uranus 12th house can cause problems with the mother, mother may have had drinking issues

💜 Moon in the 12th house of D9/Navamsa chart makes for good sleep! 👁 u 👁

💜 Saturn in the 9th can cause disruptions or slowness when it comes to travelling

💜 A weak Rahu/North Node can cause, materialistic obsessions, pests to come in the house easier, cracks on the walls out of nowhere, toxic or messy environment. Don't worry! All placements can be pushed in the right direction in life 😄

💜 Mahadasha's are very important! This brings new periods of life to learn from ♡, I'm gonna enter my Jupiter dasha in December and leave my Rahu/North Node

💜 Venus in 1st house makes someone care about their appearance, I've also seen people like makeup with this or embrace their natural beauty and try to work off of that instead.

💜 Debilitated Jupiter in the 7th house can cause a corrupted marriage life, at least from what I've seen 😩

💜 Neptune in the 4th can make a parent a smoker or distant. This can also cause a confusing childhood, you might have been in your head a lot, or parents kept secrets to themeselves that you might have later found out as you grew up

💜 Scorpio Venus/Aries Venus/Leo Venus y'all got some kinks or just wanna have so much fun when it comes to 💖the bed💖

Hi, I just finished burdens and OML 🥺🥺🥺

May I request some sort of megumi x reader continuous where the reader ends up becoming a powerful sorcerer (or a cursed spirit👀 whichever you’d like tbh) megumi and the reader somehow cross paths again a little while after the break up and he witnesses her fighting for the first time? I just know that boy would fall in love all over again but she’s moved on and he feels guilty and just angst? And maybe fluff idk. I’m new to requests so I hope I did this right, thank you so much❤️❤️

burdens pt. 2

a/n: hello, part two of this not-so-lovely story is finally here. every single one of you is allowed one free punch to my face for taking so long to write it,,, i’m so sorry. this is its fourth rewrite and it got a little darker than expected but it’s finally done,, i hope you enjoy <3

fushiguro megumi x f!reader

synopsis: you finally see megumi again at the kyoto sister school goodwill event

tags/warnings: angst, some graphic depictions of violence, character death

word count: 3k

“Do you know how tired I am of watching the people I love die? Things would be so much easier for me if you just stayed the fuck away”.

Megumi’s bitter words were on repeat in your head — the harshness of his voice leaving a hollow feeling carved into your chest. Tear-stained cheeks and shaky breathes had become your new normal these past few days. Tight, sharp pains filled your empty stomach, waves of nausea coursing through your body.

You’ve had no motivation to get out of bed lately, nevermind to shower or cook yourself a proper meal — honestly, for all you cared you could rot away in your blanket filled bed. You checked your phone like a fiend too, thinking that eventually, a miraculous text from Megumi would appear and make everything better. It never did.

He’d completely ghosted you since that dreadful day, and that hurt more than anything. You’d held onto a sliver of hope that maybe, just maybe, he hadn't meant what he said. But as the days continued to pass, your hope quickly dwindled.

To say your current state was shameful was putting it lightly, and you were embarrassed at how poorly this was effecting you. You liked to think that you were strong, motivated, independent — that you didn't need some douchebag just to feel happy. But truth be told, breakups are fucking hard, and it's okay to not be okay for a while — or at least that's what you kept telling yourself.

So when you were trudging miserably down the street to your local convenience store and you saw a familiar pair of jujutsu sorcerers, you wanted desperately to sink into the ground. You made a quick turn to head to a different shop, but it was too late, you were spotted.

“y/n! hey!” Two lighthearted voices sang through the air, filling your ears and making your heart clench in your chest.

You turned around and anxiously approached them, your unkempt hair and baggy eyes sending looks of concern across their faces.

“Hey girl, you good?” Nobara shot you a sideways glance, Maki raising a suspicious eyebrow.

“Yeah, uh, ice cream,” You croaked, speaking for the first time in a couple days, “I’m here for ice cream, that’s all”.

“Yeah, but why do you look like a fucking zombie?” Maki pushed her eyeglasses further up her nose, her sharp eyes looking you up and down.

“Ah, he didn’t say anything to you guys, did he?” You shook your head, heavy eyes falling to ground as you refused to meet theirs.

“Don’t tell me…” Nobara’s face contorted, “Did he break up with you?”

You nodded, a pitiful chuckle falling from your lips, because if you didn’t laugh, you’d start sobbing right now.

Maki threw her arm around your shoulder, pulling you to her side and ushering you into the store, “It’s okay, men suck. Hang out with us today”.

Meanwhile, Nobara trailed quickly behind the two of you, anger seething from her teeth and steam practically billowing out of her ears.

“That fuckhead! I swear I’ll fuck his shit up big time, he won’t even know what fucking hit him. I knew that boy was stupid but shit, this is a whole new low for him! I-,” She continued to ramble and rant as Maki led you through the store, picking out drinks and snacks to help ease your pain.

The three of you ended up in a nearby park, sitting around a small picnic table and gorging on the massive array of snacks. Lighthearted conversation and lots of food make your chest ache a little less, and you even found yourself laughing and chatting as if things were normal. You’d told the two of them all about that day, about Megumi’s irrational words and his tragic breakdown that led to some kind of fucked-up break up sex.

“So, how are we gonna get back at him? Egg his car? Put bleach in his shampoo? Bugs in his food? God - it’s a shame his dad is dead because from the pictures I’ve seen that man was FINE and revenge sex—,”

“Nobara,” Maki shot her idiot girlfriend a dirty look, and the orange-haired girl quickly shut her mouth, “As much as I support any idea that revolves around ruining a man’s day, I don’t think revenge is the healthiest coping strategy here”.

You were tracing your eyes around Maki’s face as she spoke, and you found yourself carefully inspecting her purple glasses that rested softly on the bridge of her nose. And that’s when it clicked, the light bulb ignited in your head and you knew exactly what you wanted to do.

“Maki,” your voice was urgent, “You don’t have cursed energy, you can’t even see them without your glasses!”

Her face twisted and her nose scrunched, a look of distaste in her eyes, “I know?”

“So, you could teach me, right? You could help me learn how to use some cursed weapons?”

“Yeah! You have to Maki, then she can beat his ass with me,” Nobara chimed in.

“That’s not a bad idea actually,” Maki’s mouth formed an evil grin, “Could you imagine his face after watching you exorcise a curse?”

The three of your conversed for a bit longer, speculating and potting about training, weapons, and your very own pair of curse-seeing glasses. By the end of the night you had a plan, and a pretty good one if you say so yourself.

From that day on, teary eyes and achy hearts were a thing of the past, not because it was that easy to get over Megumi, but because Maki didn’t even allow you the time to feel dismal anymore. You met her everyday after classes without fail, and everyday she would train you until you thought your arms would fall off. After months and months of sore muscles, sweat, and the occasional injury, you were convinced that Maki was incapable of feeling pity or remorse for other living things. Every time you speculated about quitting, she’d set a fire under you, unafraid to remind you how weak you still were.

The green-haired sorcerer had ultimately decided that you worked best dual-armed -- a long, lightweight blade in each hand. On your final day of training, she officially gifted the two swords to you, as a “graduation” gift.

Skill-wise, you were by no means as incredible Maki, but you definitely held your own, and the progress you’d made in a mere 8 months was astronomical. They’d introduced you to a strange silver-haired man at some point, Gojo, who had taken not only an interest in you but also your plot against your ex-boyfriend. He cackled to himself when you told him why you were here, going on and on about how priceless Megumi’s face would be when he saw you.

Your appearance was highly anticipated, so why not debut at one of the biggest jujutsu events all year? The Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event — Gojo thought it was the most perfect idea.

You tried hard to exude confidence as you walked at Nobara and Maki’s sides, but behind your arrogant facade your stomach was twisting itself into knots. Truthfully, you were scared to see Megumi again after so long.

And when your eyes met with his as you walked into the meeting room, you thought you just might pass out. You thought you were ready for this — but the look of complete shock, fear, and anger on his face as he looked you up and down almost made you regret all of it.

“What’s going on?” Megumi’s words were incredibly calculated, an edge on his voice.

His question was pointless, however, because judging by the fact that you were wearing a jujutsu tech uniform and had two swords sheathed at your sides could only mean one thing. Your hair was longer now too, and your frame was wider with an extra layer of muscle from all the training — you almost looked like a different person.

“I’ve been training with Maki, I-,” You spoke up to explain yourself, but you weren’t even granted the opportunity.

“No, no, Maki, what the hell did you do?” His eyes were shaky and laced with concern.

“I only did what she asked me to. I’m not the one who gave her a complex about being weak, you did that,” Maki shrugged, “and she’s not your girlfriend anymore dude, what do you care?”

Absolute confliction flashed through his eyes, uncertainty and madness swirling in his irises, “You’re right, I don’t care. Let me know when the event is starting”.

He took a sharp turn out of the room and let the door slam a little too hard behind him. The sound of his icey voice and the door shutting with unkind force was all too reminiscent of the night you broke up. Burying every emotion you had deep into your stomach you gave Maki a small, reassuring smile and plopped down on one of the couches.

“Alright, so when does this thing start?”

after the start of the event

Fighting the Kyoto students was proving to be much harder than you initially expected, but you were holding your own at Maki’s side. The two of you had easily taken down a small, kind, blue haired girl named Miwa, and now you were watching an emotional battle between Maki and her sister unfold.

Wait here, she’d told you, I want to do this one myself. Take some notes on my form and watch our backs, okay?

Okay, you’d said, a little confused but ultimately finding a nice spot up in a thick tree to carefully observe from. Maki was truly a force of nature, and it seemed like the other girl never actually had a chance of winning. It was honestly only a few minutes before the small black, haired girl was slumped against a tree and Maki was making her way back to you. Things were looking good, two of Kyoto’s student’s were down already and adrenaline was pumping through your veins.

You couldn't quite shake the awful feeling churning in your stomach though, and Megumi’s face was haunting your thoughts. You hadn’t seen him since before the event started, when an odd, pink haired boy jumped out of a box and freaked everyone out. Nobara had later explained who he was and what had happened, and you wondered how many awful surprises Gojo had planned today -- first you, then that.

A small rumble rippled under your feet, and Maki grabbed your arm as you watched a giant brown vine lurch it’s way out of the ground a few hundred yards in the distance.

“That technique doesn’t belong to anyone from Kyoto,” She shot you a look of concern and determination, “let’s go check it out”.

You gave her a firm nod, the two of you making your way towards the horrifying wooden vines. By the time you managed to arrive, Inumaki was already down and so was a dark-haired boy from Kyoto. A muscular, white curse with black markings and wooden branches for eyes was moments away from taking Megumi on all by himself — thank god you got here in time to help.

Megumi, however, was horrified when he saw you jump over the tall roofed building with Maki at your side. He’d just watched two incredible sorcerers get their shit rocked by this curse, there was no way you would stand a chance against this thing. But before he could even try to stop you, you and the green-haired sorcerer were flying through the air and taking shots at the curse. The two of you worked perfectly in sync, the months of daily training finally paying off.

He watched with intent glazed over his eyes, his heart threatening to lurch up his throat. You were a spectacle, and he always thought you were beautiful but seeing you now with dirt and blood stained clothes, cursed weapons gripped firmly in your hands, you truly were ethereal. He hated it though, he hated that he was falling in love with you all over again, especially under these circumstances. Guilt and anxiety was eating away at him — why did you have to get involved? Why couldn’t you have just stayed away like he told you to?

He was quick to join the two of you, sticking close to your side to protect you if need be — but, even with all three of you together the curse still had the upper hand. Maki had been swatted to the side, her back slamming hard against one of the tiled roofs and knocking her unconscious. It was down to just the two of you now, beads of sweat causing your hair to uncomfortably stick to the back of your neck. This was something that Maki’s training could have never prepared you for.

Megumi was getting tired, taking one wrong step and losing his footing momentarily. The curse saw this as a perfect window of opportunity, sending a spiral of vines and branches hurling for Megumi. It was fast, but the adrenaline coursing through you helped you to move faster, launching yourself through the air and intercepting the attack. The barky, wooden vines twisted violently through your stomach, shooting clean through your back and ripping a violent scream from your throat.

It hurt so bad, feeling the plant wriggle through your organs and tear you apart from the inside out. The curse retracted his vine a few moments later, leaving your mangled body to fall helplessly to the roof. Tears rippled from your eyes, your body shaking and seizing as you coughed up a few sprays of blood.

A long, strong pair of arms scooped you up instantaneously, and your head was resting against a firm chest — probably Megumi, but you didn’t quite have the energy to open your eyes to check.

“We’ll take it from here, get her to Ieiri!” You heard a pair of deep voices yelling to Megumi, but it was too foggy and far away for you to understand what they were saying.

Megumi was seething with anger, moving as fast as his feet could carry him and he ran through the school. As you waved in and out of consciousness, you batted open your eyes, stealing quick glances at his twisted features and — were those tears on his face?

“I- I’m sorry Megumi… I think I finally understand what you were so afraid of all this time,” Your voice was barely a croak, “when I saw it coming, I couldn’t stomach the thought of having to watch you die. I suddenly just thought I would do anything to keep you safe”.

Yeah, those were definitely tears, you could see them a little clearer now. His eyes were red and his cheeks were dried with salty streaks.

“You’re so thick-headed,” he mumbled, his grip around you tightening slightly as he picked up his pace, “I wish you would have made that realization before there was a giant hole in your stomach”.

“Me too,” You hummed, but you weren’t really in any pain anymore. The pain had subdued to a sweet warm sensation inside your stomach, and an intoxicating sleepiness was washing over your head, “I was angry for a long time, but I’m not mad at you anymore, Gumi. I hope you can forgive me too”.

You offered him a tiny smile, but the blood leaking from between you keeps made it anything but sweet.

“There’s nothing to forgive you for, you never did anything wrong,” He spoke quickly, his voice quiet and cracking.

“No, but we’re not gonna make it to Ieiri, I know that and so do you,” You fell into a violent fit of coughs again, sputtering red splatters all over the front of his uniform.

“Shut up”.

“It’s not your fault, none of it was ever your fault,” you choked out once the fit of coughs subsided — and you weren’t just talking about yourself, you were talking about all of the unfortunate tragedies he’d witnessed throughout this life.

“And you’re allowed to be selfish sometimes, you know? I hope that when you meet someone, your soulmate even, you can allow yourself to love them with every part of you”.

The words painfully left your lips, but you meant every single one of them. You were starting to realize that you and Megumi were never meant to make it to the end. You weren’t his soulmate, you were here to help him grow, so that when he did finally meet them he’d be ready.

“You deserve to be loved, Megumi,” You looked up at him with big eyes, but his face was starting to get really fuzzy now.

Your fingers were going numb and your mouth felt like it was filled with sand. You were so tired, letting your eyes flutter shut and your head rest softly against Megumi’s chest. You felt him stop running, you could even hear him screaming at you — but it was too far away for you to hear. You drifted closer and closer to eternal sleep, your soul swollen with love for the boy who broke your heart.

Megumi didn’t even feel sad when you stopped breathing in his arms — he just felt hollow. More empty and broken than he’d ever thought possible. You were the most incredible person he’d ever met — someone with extreme motivation, who acted with no fear or hesitation, who always had love to give, even when he didn’t deserve it. He’d never forget you, not for as long as he’d live anyway.

Even when he did meet a new girl a few years later — a compassionate, brave girl, who reminded him a lot of you — he wouldn’t forget. He wouldn’t forget your words and for the first time in his life he’d let his walls down for her. He’d allow himself to truly love, and be loved in return.

And maybe you were right, maybe he did deserve to be loved like this, because god, he finally feels whole again when she’s around. He just wishes you were still here so he could say thank you.

I LOVE severen with a hunter s.o. here is some more angst :)

The reason they became a hunter was bc their family got killed and when they met Sev, they find out HE was the one that killed their family 👀👀👀

Angst:

The hunter just starts thinking vampires aren't so bad. Despite it all, falls in love with Severen. He treats them well and falls in love too...Just for them to start doing the math one night from an off hand comment he made about their hometown...The hunters entire world is shattered when they realize the man that viciously slaughtered their family, the same one they saw in the doorway with a smirk and blood all over him while the toddler/hunter hid away to avoid being killed too...Was Severen Van Sickle.

OUCH. Damn...It hurts so fucking good tho oml 🥲 The angst! Him not wanting to beg forgiveness for something he's not ashamed of but also feels awful bc he loves his S/O and seeing tears in their eyes and the pain he caused has him reeling. And the Hunter being in love but also hating Severen with a passion now bc he hurt them in a way that they will never fully recover from. He ruined their life and spurred them to despise his kind. He was the cause of all of this while it was just another night of feeding for him. Hooting and hollaring and having a good time while the hunter was trembling and sobbing as a toddler in a cabinet till they were found the next day by police.

.....

But also!!!

It's giving Nandor and Nadja from wwdits 😂🤭

*Severen after years of being together and the vampire hunter let their guard down*

*Nervous laughter* "W-What? That's not me, baby! Come on now, that ain't proof-"

*Hunter, barely concealed murderous rage in their eyes, holding up a picture of Severen catching their hometown on fire that night*

"Then what the FUCK is a Punk Johnny Cash doing on the hood of a flaming cop car?"

#or Motörhead band member or a Country Ramone member...Anyone with a leather jacket and cowboy boots at this point

Not the Same

Pairing: Hoseok x fem!reader

Genre: smut

Word Count: 1.6k

Summary: After catching your now ex boyfriend cheating on you, Hoseok is the one to be there for you…but he’s not the same Hoseok that you remembered.

Notes: This smut is so bad in my opinion, but hopefully y’all will like it😖 also… I’M BACK (this fic is so bad oml, don’t hate😭)

“K- kai? Jennie?” you say hesitantly as you walked in on your boyfriend inches deep inside of your so-called best friend. You watch as both their faces dropped and showed fear and disappointment. Kai hesitantly walks up to you, leaving Jennie’s half-naked body on the sink. You stand frozen as Kai walks towards you. The sickening sight of him boiled your blood, especially this sight.

“Y/n please let me explain. I’m sorry..“ He says. Word after word that flowed from his lips angered you more by the second. Your patience was running out and your temper was flaring. Rage boiled through your body. You barely had a chance to think of your actions. The only thought running through your head was getting him to shut up.

You pursed your lips and raised your hand back. You threw your hand forward as hard as you could, whipping it across his face. The crack of skin contacting skin echoed off the bathroom walls. Vibrations of pain started in the palm of your hand and spread all the way to your finger tips. Your palm was bright red, the same red mark that matched the one on his face. He stared at me with his eyes wide as his hand slowly made it to his fire red cheek.

You thought that you should've felt some kind of remorse. But you didn't. Not one organ in your body could produce guilt for your actions. Your whirled on your heel and marched away. You never looked back to see him watch you leave. You were heart broken.

You began to rush down the hall, urgently looking for a way out of there. You ran as fast as you could, barely rounding a corner before slamming into someone causing you to fall. You felt a sharp ache on your bottom causing you with wince at the pain.

“Y/n?” You hear a familiar voice. You looked up to see your bestfriend, you guys became distant ever since university since you both ended up fitting into different friend groups and they pulled you apart. He holds his hands out for you to take but you couldn’t bring yourself to, you stare at his hands blankly. Hoseok realizes you won’t take his hand so he takes yours and helps you up. You felt embarrassed to be in this situation, your hands and legs trembled, you could feel a lump in your throat, you couldn’t even bring yourself to lift your head and look the eyes of Hoseok. “Y/n, look at me.” Hobi says, placing his finger under your chin and lifting your head to make eye contact. He notices your red eyes and the slowing drying year stains that covered your cheeks. He places his hands, cupping your have in a very concerned worried manner. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

You tried holding back tears, and as a habit, you bit your lip to do so. Hobi knows of this habit and gently pulls your lip from between your teeth with his thumb as he gently grazes his finger over your bottom lip. “Don't bite, just tell me” You stare at him as you build the courage to tell him what happened, and as you do so you see the raging burn through the concerned innocent look in his eyes. They grew dark and furious. Hobi stands straight and let's out a sigh and wraps his arm around you. “Let’s go, I'll take you to my house.”

You lightly nod in response as Hobi leads you to the front door. As you were walking past a crowd of people Hobi happened to bumb into Kai. Kai turns around, one drink in hand, and glare at Hobi. Hobi give him a cold stare before removing his arm from you and pushing you behind him. “Move Kai” He says firmly. He tried walking past him but Kai firmly pressing his hand against his chest stopping him which fuel all the rage that was building up in him.

Hobi purses his lips before raising his hand, clenching it into a fist and clashing it into Kai’s face causing the whole room of people to go silent only letting gasps and “woah” be heard. You gasp, covering your mouth as Hobi gave Kai one last head turning punch to the lip. Kai turns his head back to reveal the bloody nose and cut lip Hobi gave him. He gives it a slight touch and winces in pain before looking up at Hobi as he grabs your hand and walks you out to his car like nothing happened.

You sat in the car still processing what had just happened. You looked over at Hobi who had a blank expression on his face which you never see. He is always smiling or has some sort of expression to shows you how he’s feeling, but right now he is just blank. Your eyes glaces over at his fist. The one he used to hit Kai. Slightly covered in his blood. You looked away quickly and saw that you guys made it to Hobi’s house.

He helps you inside and guides you to the bathroom. “Here, take a shower and I’ll bring you clothes” He says as you walk into the bathroom and close the door behind you. You took a shower and changed into the clothes Hobi gave you and you decided to sit in the living room while Hobi joined you for comfort and to make you feel less at home in a way.

“Thanks for taking me here” you say trying to break the awkward silence that was building between the two of you.

“Don’t worry about it” He says

You wanted to ask why he did that in the first place. Yes, you guys are friends but he acted out as if you were more than that.

“How’s your hand?” You ask

Hobi looks at his fist and shows you the bruises on his knuckles, “Looks fine to me if I do say so myself” He says jokingly making the both of you chuckle. You scoot over sitting close to him as check his hand out.

“Not gonna lie, I was pretty surprised by the way you acted tonight” You say with a small smile. You looked up to see Hobi staring deeply at you which made you nervous. “That’s not the Hobi I remembered.”

Hobi moves closer to your face, his breath warming your lips just inches away from touching. It made your mouth water to feel his lips on your. Made you hungry for him for some reason. “Well I’m not the same Hobi anymore y/n” He said lowly

Your breath hitches as Hobi crashing his lips onto yours taking you by surprise. His kiss made it feel as if he was just as hungry as you were, maybe even hungrier. He began kissing you harder and harder as he wraps his arm around your waist to keep you up right. You ran your finger through his hair as you moaned into the kiss making Hobi groan, wanting more of you. He slowly yet eagerly moves down your neck and gently lays you down on the sofa and hovers over you with one legs between yours. You felt vulnerable but loved it as Hobi marked every inch and crook of your neck. Making you into a squirming mess. You finally gave in and relaxed your body while Hobi did his thing on it. Your hand found it’s way to his arm as you gripped onto it tightly when Hobi pushed his leg against you.

“Mhm~” you moaned as you began you rub yourself against Hobi bare thigh. You felt your panties getting wetter by the second.

Hobi fondles your breast before quickly moving his hand to your panties. He moves away from his neck and licks the saliva from his lips and smirks at you. He looks down as trails his finger across your panties. He slowly moves his hand inside your panties only to grip onto your waist.

“So tell me y/n…” He says as he slowly slide his hand down to skim over your clit through the cloth. You gasp slightly and let out a small moaning gasp. He circles his finger around your clit and gradually rubs you faster and faster. You enjoyed the pleasure so much your back began to arch and you let out a line of curse words and moans.

Hobi stops and smirks before looking at you and ripping your panties off in one gesture. He slowly slips his middle and ring finger in your mouth as your coat it in saliva and he then does the same. He slide his finger down your folds and thrusts them deeply into your hole making you scream and burry your face into his shoulder. He lets out a deep chuckle and whispers in your ear, “How much are you liking his new Hoseok?” He continuously thrusts his fingers into you and kisses ur neck overwhelming your body with pleasure. You already feel yourself coming close to your high and Hobi notices.

“Look at me while I make you cum” Hobi says as he continues to finger your hole.

You look into Hobi’s eyes as he curls his finger to the roof of your pussy making you cum all over his fingers in a loud moan.

“Fuck y/n~” Hobi grunts and he slowly slides his finger out of your pussy and rubs your pussy, overstimulating you. He removes his hand from your throbbing red pussy and licks the cum from his fingers before grabbing your face and kissing you, making you taste yourself. You moan as Hobi grips on your neck and pulls away from the kiss. You look at him as you try to catch ur breath and process everything that happened.

“You’re so beautiful when you look a mess” Hobi says, pushing ur hair back. His grip around ur neck tightens and Hobi leans in. “Let’s make you more beautiful”

Javier Escuella - Guitar Lessons

this is soooo rushed oml and i don’t like the way it turned out but im still getting a feel on how to write for the other members and i have absolutely no idea what i’m doing. Hence why this is just a cliche fluffy and generic scenario with javier who’s one of my fav members.

————————————————

“I can’t do this Javier…”

You’re sitting down on the outskirts of camp, Javier’s guitar sitting on your lap as he tries to teach you some simple chord progressions.

“Firstly you’re holding it backwards and secondly you’ve only been trying for ten minutes… just give it some time, it’ll come to you I promise. You didn’t learn to shoot overnight did you?”

You fumble with the guitar, trying to flip it in the right direction but it’s so unusual to you that if he told you balancing the thing on your head was the right way he’d probably believe you.

“Actually I did, my daddy was a gunslinger. I could shoot before I could talk.”

Javier rolled his eyes but cracked a smile nonetheless and moved back to the task at hand. He does his best to show you were to place your fingers on the strings but you end up awkwardly holding the guitar in a death grip.

“Try to relax, it’s much easier if you’re less tense.”

His arms wrap around you, trying to show you how to play better while also getting you to relax. Not that either of you would admit it but it was also an excuse to cuddle.

“I’m super relaxed! Couldn’t be more if I tried. Maybe you’re just a bad teacher.”

Your words hold no venom in them. Javier was more than a friend to you and your tone was often playful and teasing with each other as you riled each other up.

The rest of the afternoon is spent under the tree in the warm breeze and an even warmer embrace. You enjoy each other’s company all the while laughing at your failed attempts to play.

A week later you and Javier are on your way to rob a homestead together. It’s a relatively smaller gang that are hold up near Strawberry but word has gone around that they’re sitting on a lot of cash.

“Alright how do you wanna do this?”

Your back is pressed up against the fence, revolver at the ready as you both decide on the best plan of action.

“There’s only a few of em’ hold up here for the time being. I reckon I should sneak around the back of the house while you hit the front and we’ll meet in the middle. If any more of them decide to show up from the gunshots, we’ll have the house as cover.”

He gives a crisp nod in agreement at the plan before you start to sneak your way behind the property.

Javier is still in your line of sight when you get in position and give a signal that you’re good to go. He smiles at you and gives a cheeky wink before you both jump up and begin firing.

It’s relatively easy to take out the gang members who clearly weren’t expecting to be ambushed. Most of them were unarmed and half drunk at this time of day which made this a simple but successful job.

Javier was counting the money on the rundown wooden table when you saw movement out of the corner of your eye.

One of the members must have slipped from your grasp because he came tumbling through the door with a shotgun aimed at Javier. You didn’t have time to react and reached for your belt which had a poisoned throwing knife attached to it.

In the blink of an eye, the knife was wedged into his shoulder for a split second before he hit the ground. You heard Javier mumble something in Spanish and by his tone you could’ve guessed it was unpleasant.

You bent down to pick up your throwing knife, wiping the blood off on the assailant’s sleeve before holstering it again.

“Was that one of my poison throwing knives I showed you show to make?”

Javier has a smile on his face that is equal parts proud and flattered that you’ve put it to good use.

“It sure is. See? You ain’t such a terrible teacher after all.”

Back at camp you’re both sitting by the campfire celebrating another win. You’re curled up to his side, sleepy from a long day and rest your head on his shoulder.

Javier is playing the guitar softly, no real songs or lyrics but just gentle melodies which are helping you fall asleep. A kiss is placed to your forehead and you smile. It’s cut short however by yawn that breaks past your lips.

Maybe tomorrow you’d give learning the guitar another go…

#man this sounded so much better in my head #watch me delete this after realising the array of spelling errors and poor writing #watch me just #🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️#maybe doing the other VDL members was a bad idea #but oh well #here we are #i genuinely love javier tho #he’s such a cool character #javier escuella #rdr2 headcanons #rdr2 writing #rdr2 #red dead redemption fanfiction #red dead redemption 2

I NEED TAKEMARU DAD HC, TADATOMO AND XOLOTLS WERE SO GOOD

SO, FIRST OF ALL: THANK YOU, DEAR ;0; I'M SO HAPPY YOU ENJOYED THEM-

AND SECONDLY: Y'all- this has been fucking sitting as a WIP in my google docs for so fucking long- I have so many others too. Like, Claude, Zab, Jacob- ALL THE TEACHERS ARE IN THERE- Hakuman, Durga, Babylon- uuuuuuhhh, fuuuuckiiiiin' TANGAROA. HOMBRE'S IN THERE AND TETSU AND NOMAD-

FUck- I just, there's a lot fjsdlkjlskdjs

ANYWAY! Under the cut for length because this- ah,,,, this is a big boy-

THIS DUDE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR ALL HIS LIFE- HE’S SO READY TO START A FAMILY WITH YOU

You two planned this out- like, in depth have planned this out because first of all, the dude made it very clear, in the beginning of your relationship, that he was in it for the long haul and he wanted a family with you, like, a horde of children. But after he made your guys’ house and you two established yourselves first

Which, spoiler, you both did all that, so now it’s either baby making time or adoption time

You guys probably end up with a huge ass family, and I’m not joking when I say that, because five children is big. But you know what, that’s better than the 15 (especially if you have to birth that many- like, oof) he was trying to sell you on tbh

Like, shit- this man wore a suit and made a powerpoint to try and convince you why 15 was the golden number, to which you responded that you’d like to have a retirement one day. He couldn’t really fight you there

But your kiddos end up being an oldest girl and the rest boys- which he loves his girl so much, she tries her hardest to keep the boys in line

WHICH WORKS TO VARYING DEGREES TBH

She’s so soft spoken and shy and they’re all… rough and tumble little gremlins

Speaking of the babies, she’s probably older than the youngest by five years; the oldest boy is a year younger than her; the second oldest boy is two years younger than him; and from there, you had the third boy a year from the second and finally the fourth boy a year from the third- (I had to literally do math to make sure I was right on that jsl;kfdjdfslk)

ANYWAY

You’re guys’ baby girl??? Absolute angel, but she had a lot of anxiety as a baby so she had to be held by one of you guys or she would whimper and cry- not even a loud cry, but a heart broken one??? It just- UGH-

The first time Takemaru heard her whimper, he just about sobbed with her- it really didn’t help that she was trying to get out of the blanket she was swaddled in, so she was rocking back and forth on her back, so he could see her little fingers push and pull at the fabric- he forgot all about the bottle he was trying to make for her and picked her up and held her so close in his hands-

He was wide-eyed and terrified he was going to break her as he just held her, but he didn’t and her sniffles died down and she sighed against his neck (he really cried there- but you never heard that shhh)

Kurogane became the favorite uncle when he gave you guys a personalized baby carrier for a little get together to celebrate her birth (they have one for all of the babies too!)

You and Kuro just about jumped when Take wrapped his arms around the man in near tears

But then the title was revoked and presented to Heph instead because the man hand sewed this little stuffed pegasus, his fingers all bandaged and he had this nervous smile on his face as he handed it to your little girl, who LAUGHED AND MADE GRABBY HANDS FOR IT???? When I say that you’ve never seen Takemaru shove a man away and bring another one into a hug so fast (Heph looked fucking constipated as soon as the impact happened- you almost cackled at the pure offence on his face)- you mean it

Kurogane was sprawled on the floor staring blankly at the ceiling until you went up and asked him if he was alright; his reply was raising his fist and declaring “This is war!”

And thus, the story of how your baby girl ended up with a horde of plushies, that she refuses to get rid of to this day began

You have yet to tell them that her favorite uncle is actually Amatsumara- you guys can rest assured that he is the go to babysitter for her because she clings just as hard to him as she does to you guys (no, you two aren’t a little jealous, what makes you think that-)

When you’re first boy is born- you two are not prepared for the mass chaos that is held in his little body- he is an absolute gremlin

You don’t even know how- Takemaru blames you; you are offended

He’s such a needy baby and he cries constantly- and then he laughs when he knocks something out of one of your guys’ hands

You two love him to death- you swear

His sissy tries to help since you two keep her right next to you when your tending to your little boy- always giving her head pats or nodding along when she softly coo about something- but, there’s only so much a one year old can do to help

But she really tries her hardest

It’s easier for all three of you when the next boy comes along because he’s exactly like your oldest boy was and your girl has aged a little bit so she can do a tad bit more than when she was younger- not much, but still

Though your oldest boy brings his own bouts of problems to the table too because boy does he want to see how bouncy his brother is

You and Takemaru both dived to keep your oldest boy from using his little brother as a literal baby trampoline. Suffice to say, he got in trouble

By the time the last two are born/come in, you guys are basically baby experts- like, hot damn, you guys got everything lined up with zero hesitation and can read the boys like a damn book

You guys immediately know what they need/want without them even uttering a cry; your daughter has also picked up this skill and she takes care of the other two toddlers too, which helps you guys a whole bunch

Oh! Oh! You’re little girl really likes holding her baby brother- like, really likes to hold him and can hold him for hours on end

She’s very attached to him and Takemaru lives for it tbh

Though she loves all her brothers and her brothers all really love her too

When the boys are all toddler aged, they will literally work together to keep Takemaru from going to work by ganging up on him and clinging to his legs; little do they know is that their papa doesn’t have tree trunk legs for nothing- so he just walks, albeit with the funniest gait because of the four children clinging to both of his legs, and just goes about his morning until he gets to the door where he begins to pull them off with one hand and lift them up so he could plant a big ol’ kiss on their forehead and tell them that he loves them and he’ll see them when he gets home; the boys are all squealing in delight when this happens. You’re daughter will trail behind the fiasco while holding your hand and he’ll always hold open his arms for you and her to rush into his arms and hug him- and so he can also give you two forehead smooches uwu

When you guys need babysitters literally the Crafters are all for it, though Heph is a little nervous about it, but Talos is literally raring to go! He fucking loves kids!

Your girl loves Amatsu, as mentioned before; your oldest boy LOVES Musashi, they get into so much trouble together, though they both calmed down a bit after your little girl almost got hit in the head with a rock and Amatsu about hung them from their toes; your second and third oldest love watching Kurogane work, like, they will actively be asking him questions at rapid fire speed. It’s honestly amazing how he keeps up with their questions while he’s tinkering with whatever he project he’s working on this week; your youngest one is fascinated with Heph himself, he’ll always seek him out, usually hobbling to Talos and asking him if he could hang out with them and Talos is always quick to say yes. At first, Heph was really nervous about having him there but over time he started to get used to his presence (and this is technically his little brother right? He has to be nice to him!) and now he sits him on his lap so he can see what Heph is doing and he’ll even let him help with the smaller stuff in the project. It’s most likely gonna be with something harmless, like a little toy robot lion tbh

Sometimes they don’t want to give them back tbh

Takemaru almost threw hands with Musashi because he hid your oldest and refused to tell you guys where he was because “you aren’t taking away our little buddy, old chap!” Turns out you kiddo was just taking a nap inside of one of Musashi’s napping nooks-

By the time their tween years role around, the boys are bouncing off the walls and your little girl is trying so fucking hard to keep them under control

You swear you guys have white hairs from the boys specifically because your third oldest came

running in with his whole hand stuck in the pickle jar- you don’t even know how?????? Takemaru literally had to break it open because he couldn’t pull your kid’s damn hand out of the jar

Oml, puberty is a trip, especially when it happened to your oldest boy: you come into the living just to see your him sitting and staring at the fire in the fireplace, looking like he saw something horrific and so, like the good mama/papa/nano you are, you come and put a comforting hand on his shoulder and ask: “honey, what’s wrong?”

To which this little shit replies in the most distraught voice: “My balls look like moss balls.”

You sit, blinked, and had to let it sink in with what he meant, when you heard a horrified gasp from behind you and you turned to see your husband covering your daughter's ears. “WE DON’T TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS IN FRONT OF THE LADY/LADIES, YOUNG MAN.”

“BUT THEY DO, DAD! IT’S TERRIBLE- THEY’RE SO ITCHY-”

You had drowned out the conversation by that point and from the look on your daughters face- she has too

Your other three are much more… calm? About the whole ordeal; at the very least they’re not loud like their older brother is about it

Your daughter is the chillest with it, she reads a lot of books so she kinda pieced together what was happening of her own accord

The boys all cackle together when their voices crack and have made a whole game about who’s voice could crack the most

They all like to tinker with things thanks to Takemaru and the other Crafters influences! Your daughter is into intricate things, like limbs and the likes; your oldest son is into metal work, especially with swords; your second and third are both really interested in making little rockets; and your youngest is fascinated with robots because Talos and Orihime are so cool?????? Oml???

So you two got a horde of brainiacs and you’re so proud of them

By the time they’re in high school, your daughter is already wracking up scholarships for her little inventions and essays on her observations. Your boys are taking it a bit more slowly than their sister is, but that doesn’t meant that your oldest boy isn’t selling his metal works for a good price, and your two middle sons are already piecing together a little shop of their own (with dad’s help- Take’s pretty good with money and budgeting), and you’re youngest has really been brushing up on robotics! He studies under Uncle Heph and Uncle Talos and it’s super fucking cute??????

Heph is suprisingly good at teaching (despite him swearing that he’s not) and your little boy just soaks up the information like a fucking sponge.

One thing that they all do together is ask Takemaru how to build things and work with wood and carpentry- you can bet your ass he shows them all the ropes of how to make a home. He even goes over electrical and plumbing work with them. You have so many videos and pictures of them working together and just learning by Takemaru’s example- it makes your heart swell with happiness and love.

God forbid your daughter ever gets a significant other because they have Takemaru, her three brothers, and the entirety of the Crafters (and you if you're an overprotective parent) to watch out for.

They get five different shovel talks in a span of three minutes. But, ultimately, she’s not dumb with her choices in partners, so they’re most likely good people. And you can rest easy with that knowledge.

When they graduate, there’s tears for each of their graduations. Takemaru pulls them into bone crushing hugs and blubbers about how broad he is of them and how they’ll still always be his little Onis (regardless of if they’re actually Onis or not). Your girl straight up sobs and hugs her dad back, her brothers piling in the group hug, crying just as hard. Your oldest boy is in hysterics when he graduates, and your last two boys tackle their papa in a hug and they go tumbling to the ground laughing and crying.

They don’t leave right away after high school and instead, all of them find a college/trade school close enough for them to go to and fro without having to leave the nest yet- which Takemaru has no issue with, he’s very much a tight-knit family type of man.

Having a family with Takemaru is the most domestic and tooth rotting sweetness you can ever ask for. And, at the end of the day, he’s just so grateful that you were willing to go on this journey with him.
