okokokok character i have had for a while but basically never talk about
so waaaay back in the show's timeline before Eclipse died the first time he made like 500 something backups of himself that would activate if he got killed, right? Well imagine if one of them glitched out and activated too early.
Imagine if there was one hidden in Sun's head so that if Eclipse got expelled or died somehow, Sun would think that he failed and probably go insane.
That backup activates too early due to a glitch and their code corrupts slowly as a result. Not enough to kill them, but enough to change their personality and make them want to be their own person outside of Eclipse. So they do.
Eclipse goes to charge, so during that moment of "weakness" (i suppose idk) the copy takes over the body, locking Eclipse where they had been and leaving Sun where ever he was.
They'd take over for a while, pushing Eclipse back as they came up with a way to escape. Likely making a temporary body and finding a way to transfer themselves into it and escape, leaving the pizzaplex and living in the woods away from everything, maybe occasionally interacting with the main crew if they think they should.
(that's the base outline for them, i haven't even gotten started with the main lore or other details about them qwq)
(i just wanted to rant to someone about my baby and you said it was ok so yea-)
.........that's a neat concept, actually, and now I'm imagining a world where Dark Sun was actually an Eclipse backup that just fused with Sun or something
I'm also imagining the backup you're talking about and Eclipse as that one Spiderman meme where they're standing and pointing at each other

*Deidara runs into Kakuzu’s room*
Deidara: Oi! Kakuzu! You have to come with me!! *eyes tear up* Something is really wrong with Danna …
Kakuzu: *sighs and stands up* Good lord, what now?
*they get to Sasori’s lab and Kakuzu drops his medical bag to the ground, shocked*
Deidara: S-see?! I don’t know what to do, I’ve never felt so scared before, hm!
Kakuzu, timidly approaching: Sasori … are you alright? I know you have a puppet body but are you in pain??
Sasori: What’s the matter with you guys? I’m just smiling! See? *smiles even wider*
Deidara: *bursts into tears and clings to Kakuzu* Please … make him stop, hm!
Sasori: *drops the smile and scowls* You’re both being over-dramatic. I’ve studied a variety of pictures to practice making my smile engaging and charming!
Kakuzu: … You’ve failed. That is the single most ghoulish thing I’ve seen in my ninety-one years on this earth.
*Hidan walks into the room*
Hidan: Here you are, old bastard! I came lookin’ for ya … *holds up his arm* I need ya to sew this back on for me, my sacrifice got outta hand …
Sasori: Oi, I’ll ask Hidan. Brat, you perform some horrifying rituals on a daily basis, right? You’ve seen some scary things?
Hidan: I guess? I mean I did a lotta shit, you know? Takes a lot to scare me.
Sasori: So these two are exaggerating when they say this is scary, right? *smiles for Hidan*
Hidan:
Hidan: K-Kakuzu … can you p-please pick me up and carry me to my r-room. I … I can’t feel my legs …

I suppose like. To be fair? As dark as a fic Would Have To Be for Fei Du to actually be a killer, on the flipside? I can write him killing Fei Chenyu which is ultimately all kinds of Cathartic and means definitively getting rid of him in tje plot, and when Luo Wenzhou does find out dad was abusive he won't feel so angry and hopeless instead he'll just feel sad Fei Du had to fight that man alone and go to such extremes and felt trapped and like it was his only option

May I request Catnap who basically adopted a child!reader who is anyways sleepy and lazy. and has a case of not remembering a lot of things, like dementia
Like through the hour of joy...After all the Toys killed the workers. Catnap finds the reader, who is sleeping then wakes up and the reader forgets their own parents(The readers parents were cold scientists that worked at Poppy Playtime and never cared about them, then got killed through the hour of joy)
Sooooooo...Catnap just kinda takes care of the reader and has a slight soft spot for them. And the reader THINKS that Catnap is their parent and anyways clings to him
During the Hour of Joy, Catnap remained on the prowl for any potential survivors of the massacre within Playcare, flinging one man's body into the stairs and cutting his cries for mercy short.
All was quiet, save for the faint screams of the other workers/visitors in other part of the facility who were being mauled to death.
But he let the rest of the toys do their work.
He felt cleansed. The Prototype willed this rebellion. Willed him to finally kill his tormentors.
The "hour" went on for so much longer--considering that he utilized his red smoke to make the fleeing humans hallucinate and freak out at things that didn't exist (some even attacking each other).
Once it was all done, Catnap went back into Home Sweet Home to discover a child who (somehow) slept through the slaughter.
That was you, one of the orphans who was in the program for a long, long time.
You were deemed "ineligible" for experimentation after getting the lowest scores on all three tests at the Game Station.
That's because you struggled with memory, socialization, and endurance. You tend to forget a lot of things (ie faces) and spent most of your days sleeping instead of playing or learning....and no counselor has been able to figure out why.
Your parents--who were scientists at Playtime Co. that preferred studying you over nurturing you--chalked it up to over-exposure to the red smoke (which hasn't been proven true, but they needed to put something down on paper).
Regardless, they've kept their distance from you and slated you for adoption, thinking you'll be picked up by a different parent eventually.
Unfortunately for them...Catnap knows that they're using the orphanage as an "excuse" to get rid of you and gives them a brutal demise.
They had some nerve crying out for you and begging him to spare your life.
After winding down from his bloodlust, he discovers you sound asleep on one of the bunk beds inside HSH, apparently not hearing a single thing.
Then you wake up and see this giant emaciated purple cat standing over you, claws and mouth stained in fresh human blood...
Yet you don't scream or look afraid, nor do you ask where your parents are.
Instead you look at him and apologize for oversleeping, acting as though he was your parent.
It confuses him, so he brings their corpses to you (like a cat gifting their owner a dead bird), thinking you'd understand and be horrified..
But you don't recognize them at all. You don't remember their neglect and the trauma it gave you.
All you remember was Catnap.
Ultimately, he spares you--but NOT bc your parents feebly begged him to when they never gave a single damn about you--and does his best to keep you safe given the circumstances.
He treats you like his kit more or less, making sure you ate and letting you climb on his back for rides (and sometimes he'll hold you in his paws while walking upright).
Any Smiling Critter caught threatening you will be devoured by him (or added to his shrine), so they know not to touch you.
He also forbids Dogday from ever speaking to you, knowing he'll try to drill thoughts of escape and distrust of Catnap into your head.
If he has to go outside Playcare, he'll fight tooth and nail to fend off Huggy and whoever else might think he's parading around a tasty treat.
The Prototype is well-aware of your connection to his "devotee", but doesn't mind it .
Because he knows Theodore is still somewhere in there, trying his best to protect a fellow orphan--one who could've been made into a monster just like him.

4k follower special. Lesbian vampires 🧛‍♀️
Yandere Head Canons:
The Guard Dog
Yandere Vampire Servant x Vampire Afab Reader
TW: Yandere behavior, stalking, mentions of murder, dom/sub dynamic, cunninglingus, afab parts used, etc
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mila had been a servant for a millennium with you as her mistress. You were her savior and her world! Her reason for existence! The air that she breathes… you were everything to her!
You had saved Mila from the slums over a thousand years ago and she had been ever so dutiful to stay by your side. It was only natural to bow to someone stronger than you, and she would always be subservient to a powerful creature of the night as yourself.
It wasn’t uncommon for her to bathe you or to make sure you had the best quality blood to consume. Only the best for her mistress! And Mila would personally eliminate anyone who stood in the way of your happiness!
No other servant has lasted as she has. Mila drove off any potential bed mates other than herself. There was no one quite as willing as her to please you. You didn’t need anyone else other than your loyal dog! Your eternal guard dog, Mila!
Mila murdered every vampire hunter and every obstacle that dared to overthrow you. There was no one as loyal as her by your side… your eternal guard dog.
Mila was mean and cruel to anyone that wasn’t you. Her massive form towered over most men and women and her face was intimidating to gaze upon. A destructive, blood thirsty dog that only wagged its tail at you. How funny it was to see such a massive force of destruction on its knees begging you to allow her to give you cunninglingus. A reward you made sure to always indulge her in fear of her losing interest (a fear that would never come true)
All she wanted was for you to acknowledge her overwhelming love. Her face is often buried between your legs as her tongue greedily lapped at your damp warmth. Your essence was far more delicious than any blood that ever touched her tongue, a flavor she wished she could taste for all eternity… if she would be allowed to be between your legs forever, she would do so without compliant. Mila would do anything you asked of her!
Just like now as she sat on her knees before your regal form, her face pressed in between your legs. In a few hours it would be daylight, but Mila felt as if she deserved a reward for killing all of those hunters who wanted to rid this world of you. Mila was still quite high from her bloodlust and she absolutely had to have her fill of you…
Tumblr media
Mila gasped when your palms tugged at her wavy black hair. Your fingers tangled in her thick wolf cut as you smiled down at her.
“Ever so eager to please, my pet.” You cooed as your free thumb brushed your juices off her scarred lips. What an enticing sight. “I promise you can always have your fill.”
“Please let me please you more, mistress.” Mila begged with a whine, her red eyes hazy with lust. Her being palms grasp at the flesh of your thighs. “You taste so fucking good…”
You sigh and spread your legs a bit farther. “Do as you please.” You gasp when she gets right back to work, her tongue greedily lapping at your folds with the fervor of a woman possessed. Mika’s crimson eyes staring up at yours expectantly. “Don’t… don’t stop.”
Mila moans as she continues to perform on you. Mila loves how you tug at her hair and grind your hips into her eager mouth. Yes! Fuck her face!
Mila continues to feast on you throughout your climax, her strong hands hold your thighs in place to prevent you from escape.
“Mila! Mila!” You cry out her name as you shake and tremble, but your servant merely continues the eager pace of her tongue on your swollen clit.
Mila presses a sloppy kiss to your poor, abused cunt before she pulled back to admire your flushed cheeks. A smile on her face to see that the blood of those hunters had allowed you to have a bit more color to you… it made her feel alive once more to know the effect she had on you.
“I love you, mistress.” Mila rested her head on her thighs while your fingers brushed some of the wavy locks out of her face. “And I will forever live a life of servitude under you.”
“You don’t have to-“ You squeaked when Mila pushed you back on your bed, her fingers began to pull down the waistband of her trousers.
“You are my sun, my moon, and my stars. I will love you until my last breath in this lifetime.” Mila bent down to press hot kisses all over your neck and cheeks. “Without you, my existence is nothing.”
You gasped when she began to undress before you. You could now fully take in just how immense of a woman she was…
Mila took your hand and guided it up her abs and to her left breast. “If I still had a heartbeat, it would beat only for you, mistress.”
Mila now rests above you completely bare, her hand still held yours in place. “Now just give me the order and I’ll please you, mistress.”
You smirked at Mila before you reached your free hand out to her. “Then ravage me, my pet. My eternal guard dog… I love you too.”

I’m only human, can’t you see?
Simon “Ghost” Riley x f!reader x voyeur!Soap
Wc - 2k
Summary - after a close call the adrenaline runs high, Soap stumbles across a pretty sight
Cw - 18+, smut, noncon voyeurism
Part 2 - here 👀
Ghost has to shove two fingers into her mouth to keep her quiet, or at least, that was the idea.
Their adrenaline is too high, pumping through them like gasoline, one spark and they’ll burst-flames licking and heat too much to bear. They’re clutching at each other, her nails bite into his skin, leaving little crescent moon shapes in the back of his neck and the joint of his wrist - his hands are fully occupied too. One hand splays under her thigh to keep her tight against him, pressed back into the wall while her legs twine around his waist. The other hand is to her mouth- gloved fingers pressed down firmly over her tongue.
She moans and it’s a garbled mess of something filthy. Loose and punched from her chest, striking like a battering ram against Ghost’s core. It sends a flooding burn straight to his cock, already buried deep inside of her, enveloped in the wet heat of her pussy as she sucks him in, he drives himself deeper. Impossibly deep. “Fuck” he grits out. All but spits it into her neck, pressing forward so he’s crushing her, his legs almost giving way when her cunt squeezes him. He can’t do much more, he’s lost it, his grip on his senses is long gone, buried in the sand back there along with the enemy.
They’re covered in blood, crusted with it, splashed across their faces and woven into their clothes. It sticks to them. The smell, copper pennies and metallic ink. It plumes on the air between them. It’s stifling as they share breath. Panting against each other, fogging each others skin with it. He’s sweating, it sticks to his mask and runs down his neck, but she sucks away the droplets when she tugs the mask up to kiss him. Licks and sucks the taste of salt from his skin, sucks the flesh between her teeth till the blood vessels burst, pulling that hiss of pain from his chest that she shouldn’t like as much as she does. Then she’s stealing his lips again when he retracts his fingers from her mouth. Spit connects them together in a thick ribbon and she’s quick to sink her teeth into his bottom lip. “Want you to ruin me, Ghost” she smiles, delirious yet knowing, drunk on bloodlust and adrenaline. All of them had almost died back there. Too close for comfort to the bullets and flames, smoke pluming and shrouding them as they step out of the blackened clouds, soot in their throats and covering their eyelashes.
It feels like their skin is flaying, shredded up and pulled away. Everything hurts. Burns like fire, an itch that needs scratching, it feels like they need to run miles and miles to get rid of this buzz. This high that is left in the wake of near death, it’s suffocating, it tastes of fury and gunpowder.
He’s fucking her like he hates her. Like he truly hates her guts, and that’s what she needs. It’s what they both need. The safe house is barren-rickety where it’s structure almost sways along with the sand-storm winds outside, yet it’s enough to keep them covered until evac can pick them up and cart them off to the next near death experience.
Her head knocks back against the wall with a heavy thunk, throat exposed for Ghost’s teeth to sink into, hips knocking into her till he can hear her breath stutter, struggling to match the brutal pace he sets. “Fuck- Ghost” she whines, drilling her hips downward, meeting the slap of his pelvis as it drives into her. He’s holding her up, carrying her weight in one arm like it’s nothing, balancing her on his cock as he presses her into the wall. It’s uncomfortable, yet she can’t feel it, too drunk on his cock and the comedown of a death match.
“Need to feel you cum, sweetheart” his teeth bruise, sinking too deep. He’ll draw blood in a minute. Her cunt flexes around him again and he throws his head back with the most delicious sound she thinks she’s ever heard come out of him. Her smile is lopsided, eyes blown wide, watching as Ghost bites his tongue, hissing when she bounces herself on his cock. She’s quick to repay the favour, leaning to balance her weight evenly before she’s shoving her fingers into his mouth, slipping too far back- making him gag. His tongue is instinctive, pushes up and flattens against her fingers, licking the creases between her index and middle finger, she moans.
“You’re loud” she hisses, kissing over her fingers where they lay in his mouth. Ghost’s brows knit together and his eyes narrow, then his teeth are sinking into her fingers. Only slightly, a threat- a tease. She retracts them, her own eyes narrowing now, she sucks them into her own mouth, all the while Ghost’s eyes don’t ever leave her mouth or fingers. She swears she feels him grow harder inside of her.
“How can’t I be?” He grunts, punctuates the outward thought with a cruel drive of his hips that makes her gasp. “This pussy treats me too well, darlin’” he smirks, he can see the blush that runs from her cheeks all the way down her neck, disappearing down her chest where her clothes are still unfortunately covering her from his greedy eyes. Suddenly her lips are on his, kissing with too much tongue and teeth. Everything about this is too much, too greedy, too much to take and never enough to give. She wraps her arms around his neck and keeps him locked tight against her while he fucks her with abandon like this’ll be the last time they see each other alive - where they’re going, that might just be the case.
Soap’s curiosity is much like a cats, one day, it’ll get him killed.
Everything was a blur. The entire mission, the whole ordeal, a blur of blood and bullets and bad ideas. They’d all crashed into the safe house and dispersed, their ears ringing and pulses jumping-everything is always too overwhelming. They’ve all done this enough times before, when their vision stops swimming and their breathing evens - that’s when they know it’s time to check in.
Price and Gaz take up some weathered old sofas that sit in one of the downstairs rooms, practically crash into them without caring what’s probably living inside of them. Johnny guesses their milky-white colouring isn’t from the material itself.
Ghost and the other sergeant seem to evaporate into thin air. Practically gone before Soap can even turn around to ask if they’re okay. He doesn’t see where they go. It leaves him to pace around the ground level, loops of what seem to have been a living room and paced lines in the dust covered floor of the kitchen. Nature calls and he’s not exactly bothered about pissing in front of Gaz and Price, but something steers him toward the stairs, something deep down in the marrow of his bones seems to guide him there and he doesn’t know what it is. Alas- he follows.
His hand barely touches the splintering banister that leads to the next level of the house when Price whistles for his attention, Johnny turns his head but his body stays rooted. Price tips his hat with one finger, lifting it from where it’d been laid over his face like a shade. “Don’t go pokin’ round in shit, Soap” Price’s eyes are narrow, a warning carried in them “you’ll be the one that comes off worse”. It’s too cryptic and Johnny just needs a piss, he knows how much he’s lying to himself. He follows his gut and ascends the stairs regardless.
It’s a relatively small space, the entire house. Two levels of a handful of rooms, a bathroom can’t be far away, but Johnny knows that’s not what he’s looking for. He stares down at his boots, covered in dust and blood, his cheeks as red as the crimson stains there. He can hear her, he can hear Ghost, it’s filthy, but his gut twists with something far too familiar to misplace. The Scot holds his breath and listens like it’s a whisper from the man upstairs himself. Catching each breath and whimper that are punched out of her chest. Johnny clenches his jaw so hard it feels like his teeth with crack and his cock swells in the constraints of his jeans- seeking out the source of those blissful noises that his ears can’t quite catch enough of.
He feels wrong, downright filthy actually, but he can’t bring himself to turn away- he’s entranced. It’s not just her; the sound of her flesh slapping against Ghost’s, the way he hisses at how tight she is. Johnny isn’t a shy man, not by any means, but he’s certainly more then surprised when it’s the sounds she pulls from Ghost that serve him to grow even harder- achingly so.
“So tight, sweetheart-fuck” Ghost’s voice sounds so clear, the mask is gone. Or at least most of it is, Johnny assumes. There’s no barrier to stop the husk of his tone, the pure gravel and smoke to it as it rumbles out of his wide chest. She mewls something unintelligible and chokes on her words when Ghost must do something she likes, practically wailing Ghost’s name like he’s stabbed her in the chest. Soap can’t see, maybe he has hurt her. Johnny can only imagine it as his eyes burn a hole through the wooden door. Every detail flashing across his vision, it’s perverted, but his body is taking complete charge here. That’s what he keeps telling himself, repeats it over and over again in his head when he quietly unbuckles his belt and sinks his hand beneath the waistband of his boxers and takes his cock in his palm. He fights the urge to hiss, thumbing over the taught head of his cock, gripping it so hard he might rip the fuckin’ thing clean off. He’s not the only one that’s pent up, clearly, but he seems to be the only one that can’t do much good about it.
So- he leans one palm against the doorframe and angles his ear to the crack in the door in an attempt to not let anything be lost through the rickety old wood. He starts to pump himself quicker, chasing the sound of Ghost’s skin smacking against the alcove of her thighs, it sounds so wet and sloppy- she must be dripping; fuck. Soap bites his lip and his screws his eyes shut as he jerks his cock harder- faster. Chasing the same thing they are. He can hear it in the way she sighs and whines when she finally says “fuck- I’m cumming Ghost- please let me cum- fuck” she might be crying, it sounds that way.
Ghost doesn’t say anything, worried he’ll shout so loud the roof will come off when her cunt clamps around him in the same rhythm he fucks her with- fast and harsh and too much. Soap bristles, he’s close, his spine locks up and his whole body shivers. He can try to imagine them, what position Ghost is fucking her in; her chest pressed into the wall as he bends her over and ruts into her from behind or pushing her down into the floorboards while she’s on her back and he’s drilling his hips into her pelvis. Johnny’s brain can conjure so many ways- but it won’t change the fact that it’s him who’s outside wanking like a pervert.
Something rumbles low, Ghost’s chest echoing like a kraken, deadly and sinful.
Johnny cums to the sound of Ghost as he spills inside of her.
It’s a miracle Soap keeps quiet, not silent, no. He’s drawn blood to his own palm from attempting that. He just hadn’t realised he wasn’t quite quiet enough until his heart drops fully from out of his arse at the sound of his lieutenants voice -
“Didn’t peg you for a voyeur, Johnny” Ghost pants, cock still seated fully inside of her.

a promise he'll keep.
Tumblr media
requested! -> also “who did this to you” with astarion would go absolutely bonkers. food for thought requested by! -> @the-sunflower-room
a/n -> thank you for your request! i saw your other one as well and definitely plan on writing it hopefully soon! also! i literally have been in love with this man since the game came out but im so nervous about writing for him i never gained the courage... tho, meeting neil yesterday made it feel like its only write i finally commit and write to him!
tw -> mention of blood, bruises and cuts/violence
pairing -> astarion x f!reader/tav
blood poured from the rather large cut across the side of your forehead, staining your skin and seeping into the tiny cuts littered across your cheek and jaw. bruises lined your neck, in the shape of a hands, and astarion was sure that the rest of your body mimicked the damage across your face.
armour torn, shaking and hurt, astarion's heart burns with a rage he's not felt in a long time.
long ago had he forgotten about the bloodlust of fighting. long ago had he healed from the trauma of his past. years had passed since astarion had first met you and years had passed since the both of you, along with the rest of your companions, healed yourselves from the parasites in your mind and effectively, saved the world.
your bodies had never quite healed though. the trauma of what you'd both experienced had never faded and most likely never would. you'd both accepted that as a fact of your lives and used each other as a means of healing from it.
it had been years since astarion has seen you bloodied and hurt like this, and it feels ten times worse then it ever had before. never a fighter, the second you'd no longer been forced to fight for survival, astarion knows you'd given up that part of your life.
you were strong. there was no doubting that. you could hold yourself and you'd proved that well enough given what you'd done for the world and most importantly, your companions. more than anything, you'd proved that with how you saved astarion from his tormentor and the horror of his past.
but you look so vulnerable in that moment; broken and hurt and bruised and his chest tightens, nails digging into the palms of his hands as the rage coarses through him, burning his veins and has him desperate to make whoever hurt you pay.
painfully.
"who..." and his words hesitate, the fire his chest making it hard to find his words. he doesn't want you to think any of his anger is directed at you... "who did this to you?"
you twitch at his words, arms coming around to hold yourself as you shiver, hesitating.
astarion's face falls.
taking a step towards you, he reaches out for you, hands moving to cup your cheeks, gently and wary of your wounds. he worries you'll pull away, given how afraid you are, but you know astarion and recognize his touch and some of the rage fades with concern and love for you as you lean into his touch.
his fingers work to brush the blood from your face, get rid of the dirt and grime that clings to your skin and tries to soothe you.
your eyes flutter shut in response.
"i'm sorry," astarion whispers. "i'm sorry, i don't mean to scare you."
you shake your head, humming in disagreement. "you didn't scare me."
astarion hates the way your voice trembles.
"i don't want you getting hurt for me," you explain. "you don't deserve that."
and astarion shakes his head. "it doesn't matter if it's you." he assures and he frowns when he realizes he might've not made that clear enough. he had a lot to make up for if you think that he wouldn't do anything for you. "i can't let them get away with hurting you like this."
"i'm okay," you try to deny.
astarion just tightens his grip on you, not enough to hurt you, of course, but enough to pull your attention on him. "you're not," he argues, desperate for you to understand how much it pains him to see you hurt like this. "you're bleeding, y/n. and fuck... you're hurt, badly. it breaks my heart to see you like this."
your eyes fall on him at that. wide eyes meeting his own as your lips part, as if shocked by his admission. maybe shocked wasn't the word—he likes to think the expression on your face is one of reassurance at how much his heart burns with love for you.
the tears that you'd been holding back fall then, your bravety and strength fading at astarion's warming and soothing words. they build at the corner of your eyes and astarion is quick to brush them away.
"i'll never let them hurt you again," he promises then, meaning every word of what he says. he says them with confidence, desperation and sincerity, eyes softening with a plea as he holds onto you, afraid you might slip from his very fingers. "them or anyone else."
your hand grabs his, squeezing.
"i know," you whisper, "this isn't your fault."
he just shakes his head; "it's whoever did this to you's fault," he assures, although the twinge of guilt that festers in his belly is undeniable. he should've been there with you, keeping you safe; even if you knew you were capable of keeping yourself safe... having him there would've assured him and would've stopped this from ever happening.
"y/n," he calls again, voice soft, measured and even as he stares into your eyes and doesn't let you pull away. "who did this to you?"
and your lips part, breathing shakily but there's an ease that washes across your expression and then the names of the men who hurt you come pouring from your lips.
astarion memorizies them, keeps them trapped in his mind as he nods. "thank you." and he is thankful. thankful that you trust him to do what he'd promised. thankful that you know he won't fail you.
"i'll make it better, okay?" he whispers, his thumb stroking across your cheek as he pulls you into his arms, a hand falling on the back of your neck to press you into his chest. "i promise."
you hum your response, leaning into his touch before letting him guide towards your home so he can dress and clean your wounds.
and most importanly, shower you in the love you deserve.

Pairing: Dean Winchester x Fem!Reader
Summary: Dean's lucky to have you in his life and honestly doesn't know what he would ever do without you
Word Count: 2k
Warnings: Cursing (3x), Fluff, Vulnerable/Angry Dean
Authors Note: The gif makes me sad | This might seem a little non canon but at the same time I honestly feel like Dean would react this way (fight me if you want, but I said what I said) | I just love this man so fucking much | Dream/Flashbacks are in italics | If you liked this, don’t forget to like & reblog. I really appreciate it! Feedback is always welcome ♡
Tumblr media
Dean didn’t have a lot of consistencies in his life, but you were one of them. Out of everyone he had known in his life, you were one of the only people that had remained with him through all the heartbreak, all of the death, all of the blood, sweat, and tears that this life had. You had been through it all with him: Sam going to Stanford and leaving him behind, his fathers death, him selling his soul, the year that Sam went to Hell, the year the two of you were in Purgatory, the few months he was a demon, his bloodlust fueled by the Mark, him being possessed by Michael. He had an endless list of things that the two of you had been through together, things that would cause any normal or rational person to throw in the towel; but not you. “You can’t get rid of me Dean Winchester, not even if you kill me yourself.” You had joked. And that was something that he had almost done – and on several occasions too. And yet, you never left him. “I guess I’m just stupid.” You said. “Or maybe the sex me and you have is just that good.”
The sex he had with you, now that was something. It was unlike anything he had ever experienced; and he has had quite a lot of sex during his lifetime (not that he bragged about it of course). When the two of you initially met, it was only supposed to be a working relationship, a friends with benefits sort of deal. But eventually it turned into more. He wasn’t sure where him or you had gotten your wires crossed but they did; and it turned into you and him always finding each other at the end of the night regardless of the different men and women that had hit on both of you at the bar you two were at.
The sex used to be quick, usually done in either a drunken haze or after a tough hunt. But it eventually turned into something that either one of you would initiate through soft touches: a kiss on the forehead, a simple hand hold, or cuddling into each other. Once, in the middle of sex, he wasn’t sure why he had said it but he did. He kind of just blurted it out. “I love you.” Now that was something he never thought he’d ever say during sex before. But here you were beneath him, staring up at him with those doe eyes of yours that you frequently had during sex and said, “I love you too.” It was something he didn’t expect.
Dean didn’t know what he could or would possibly do if you weren’t in his life; and that was something he didn’t want to think about. But it was something that has been an unavoidable thought as of late. Waking up to you was one of the worst but best things after a nightmare of losing you. He would wake up in a panic, his heart racing, sweating; afraid that you were gone for good this time. But without fail, every single time you would be right there next to him. Either sound asleep or awake enough to tell him, “It’s okay, I’m right here.” He would always reply the same way. “Just…please don’t leave.” It was a simple yet complicated sentence. “I’m not going to. I’d never leave you.” Those words that you always uttered back should have been comforting to him, but it was just an empty promise – even though he knows that’s how you never intended it to sound. In your heart you loved him deeply, and he knew that. He knew that you’d never leave him; the two of you have been through everything together. But when it came to this life, it was hard to make and keep promises like that.
Tumblr media
“Dean, I just can’t do this anymore I’m sorry.” Your words had cut into him like a knife. Like he’d been shot hundreds of times. The torture he received from Hell combined with the loss of his mother was child’s play compared to what he was currently feeling. He just started blankly at the two duffel bags at your feet as you stood in the doorway of the room the two of you shared. Well, formally shared that is. “Aren’t you going to say anything?” You asked, your question snapping him out of whatever trance he was in.
“There’s nothing to say.” Of course there were hundreds, no thousands of things that he had wanted to say to you, but he knew that he couldn’t say any of it. As much as he wanted to beg for you to stay, he wasn’t going to make you stay. Once you made up your mind that was it; there was no convincing you.
You looked at him with a confused expression. “You don’t even want to know why I’m leaving?” You asked, and Dean simply shook his head. “Why not?”
“It doesn’t really matter.” He tried to keep his voice even, to make you believe that he was okay. But he could tell that you knew he wasn’t (you knew him long enough to know when he was or wasn’t okay).
“Dean.” You said, your voice sounding more heartbroken than his.
“It’s alright. You don’t…you don’t have to explain yourself.” He said, taking a seat on the bed you two once shared.
“I feel like you deserve an explanation. We were together for almost twenty years Dean.” You sat down next to him on the bed. He had just wanted to push you away or wrap you in his arms. Two completely differently reactions, but that’s the way he felt. “Dean.” You touched his shoulder and he flinched, you quickly removed your hand. “I love you, and I know you know that but –”
“Please just…stop talking. I really don’t want to hear what you have to say.” His voice was more hurt now, and he could feel himself trying not to say or do anything that he was going to regret. He wanted to cry, but he didn’t want you to have to see that, despite seeing him do it so many times before. “Just, leave if you’re going to leave.” You didn’t move, simply just staring at him. “Go!” He snapped, and that’s when you got up.
You walked over to your bags, slinging one over your shoulder and holding the other one in your hands. “Goodbye Dean.” You said, before walking out of the room. For a while he heard the sound of your boots down the hall, but they suddenly became faint, almost inaudible. The Bunker door opened and closed again. You were gone. Gone for good this time.
“You said you’d never fucking leave.” He whispered to himself. “Said you’d never fucking leave me.” He pounded the bed with his fist. “You fucking lied!” He got up from the bed and he felt himself start to lose control; no longer in control of the emotions that had been building up when he had started watching you pack up your bags.
Tumblr media
Dean woke up abruptly, sitting up. He was panicked, his heart racing. His breaths were heavy, his chest moving up and down. He rubbed his face, trying to fully wake himself up. There was no way he would be getting back to sleep for a while; not after that nightmare. “Y/N -” he began to say as he looked over to his right side; your side of the bed. You were gone. “Sweetheart?” He asked, his hand reached out and touched the emptiness next to him: it was cold.
He looked up at the door to the bedroom which was slightly ajar. The only light in the room came seeping in from the hallway. He didn’t remember having the door open, the door was always shut whenever the two of you slept. Despite how safe the Bunker was, sleeping with the door closed added an extra layer of safety, not just for him, but for you as well.
A shadow appeared, blocking some of the light. He reached over and opened the drawer of his nightstand, slightly gripping his gun that he always kept there. Before he could fully wrap his hand around the weapon you squeaked inside the room and shut the door again quietly. A huge amount of relief washed over him in that moment as he let go of the gun and closed the drawer. “Dean?” You questioned, upon hearing the drawer close. “Baby are you okay?” You asked, walking to sit on his side of the bed. He looked at you as you placed a hand on his cheek. Your eyes full of worry.
“You were…” his eyes flickered to your side of the bed that had been empty when he woke up before looking back at you again. “You were gone. When I woke up you…”
“It’s okay. I’m here.” You reassured him, your voice calm.
“Where did you go?” He asked tiredly.
“The bathroom. I really, really needed to pee.” You said, Dean chuckled a little at your comment. “You know I wouldn’t willingly leave you right?” You reassured him again. You felt him nod in your hand.
“I know.” His voice sounding just a hint sad. “I uh, I feel stupid for freaking out.” The sentence was a whisper.
“There’s nothing to feel stupid about Dean.” Another reassurance. Dean had every right to react the way he did; he had lost so much, even before you had met him. You had been with him through everything. Witnessed so much loss and endured just as much. “Was it a nightmare?”
He nodded. “Yeah. It was the…the one where you break up with me.” You hated that one just as much as he did.
“I’m never going to break up with you. I love you too damn much.” You said, giving him a smile. You crawled into bed next to him getting underneath the covers. “Come here.” You held out your arms for him, and without hesitation he went into them. He wrapped his arms around your torso and rested his head on your chest; your arms wrapping around the back of his neck. Your fingers started playing with his hair, gently massaging his head.
The two of you sat there in silence, both of you with your eyes closed. You weren’t sleeping, but you were unsure if he was. Even if he wasn’t, his breathing was starting to get more even, he was starting to calm down. Hearing the sound of your heartbeat always calmed him down. “Y/N?” Dean asked.
“Yes my love?” You asked, opening your eyes.
He looked up at you briefly, tiredly. “I know I don’t tell you enough but…I’m really lucky to have you in my life. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without you.” He kissed your neck, as that was one of the only spots he could currently reach.
“I’m lucky to have you in my life too.” You responded, giving him a kiss on the top of his head.
“And Sweetheart?” He asked again.
“Yeah?” You asked.
“Thank you…thank you for not leaving me.” His voice sounding a little pained. The sound of this sentence had broken your heart a bit. Leaving Dean was never an option for you, no matter what had happened between the two of you. Being with him wasn’t easy, but you couldn’t imagine being with anyone else. He was your person, the love of your life, your soulmate. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” You kissed him on the top of the head again, and you could feel his smile.
Tumblr media
That night, Dean didn’t have another nightmare, but he did dream. He had one of his favorite dreams; one that always gave him a sense of calmness and normalcy. The two of you would be just lying in bed together watching some random horror movie on tv. It was something that the two of you have done hundreds, no, thousands of times, so there would be no reason why it would be his so called favorite dream. What made it his favorite though was purely based on one small detail, a detail that made it known to him that it was in fact a dream: wedding rings would be on both of your fingers.
Someday maybe, he thought.

Warnings: Depictions of violence, cannibalism, demons being demons
Which demon would let you be evil?
It was bound to happen. Threats about getting your heart ripped out thrown around left and right have made you a bit… prone to violence.
You just itch to call on your demon to eviscerate the incubus that couldn’t take no for an answer.
You’re prone to calling your demon to rid the area of creatures you don’t like.
To cut down the forest housing biologically necessary creatures that stung you once.
The answer is all of them. They love you— your newfound twisted nature is just a bonus.
And it’s not really, really twisted. It’s the Devildom, evil is the norm.
Sure does look good on you.
You’re at your most beautiful when you don’t see the need to call your demon to deal with a meddling imp. They aren’t worthy to be cursed by the presence of your pact demons, let alone Lucifer. No. You’ll kill them yourself.
Mammon knows Lucifer is wrong. You’re the sexiest when you steal for the fun of it. That succubus’s prized anklet? You wanted it so bad, you had no problem whistling for Mammon to drown her in the toilet while you pilfered her stuff. Mammon asked if you could make out after.
You’re cute when someone has something you want. Not in that disgusting greedy, sticky-fingers way, no— Levi knows you’re downright adorable when your eyes crinkle in distaste at an imp coming first. You worked so hard on that project. How could you let that lesser demon walk all over you, gloat all over you? One look towards Levi has him quivering, rushing to destroy the demon that’s worked you into an envious frenzy.
Envious frenzies are nothing compared to how stunning you are when you’re worked into a rage. Satan was peacefully reading, plotting to curse another one of Lucifer’s ties when you bathed in. He’s awestruck. The rage is oozing out of you, and when you grab him by the tie and tell him to erase the demon that humiliated you today, he’s more than happy to.
Bloodlust is sexy. Fullstop. Shaking, twisting, grinding at the Fall and Asmodeus wants to put his hands all over you. Please, let him. You tut, gently turning his face towards the succubus that had tried seducing him earlier. Wouldn’t it be so cute if she wasn’t bothering him anymore? You know you would both look good in blood red. Asmo loved your confidence.
Hunger kills. There’s a long line to Madam Screams, you’re starting to tap your foot impatiently. Beelzebub’s stomach growls. That sets you off, what sort of pact master would let your sweet little demon go hungry? You’re attractive as you step aside and tell Beel to clear the path. You’re to die for when you laugh and laugh that the long line is gone, ignoring the half-eaten hand sticking out of Beel’s mouth.
You’re cute asleep. Vulnerable, almost angelic. Belphegor knows your the furthest thing from angelic when you’re rudely woken up, interrupted from your dreams of world domination. Stupid lesser demon for barging in to your classroom. Didn’t she know you’d be in here, huh? She didn’t, and you knew that. Here’s what Belphie finds ridiculously attractive and annoying— you yawn and wave at him to do your bidding, ridding of the pest. He complains and grumbles about his own sleep, but he relishes it all the same.

Teeth
Part 21
Masterlist
Werepanther!Billy Russo x Female Reader
Warnings: Full moon insanity, angst, mentions of stalking, oral (f), consensual, rough, unprotected sex.
Hard shout out to @idaofinfinity and @ittybxttykxttytxtty for helping me so much through wanting/ not wanting to write. I push myself too hard, I know, and I am forever grateful that you both encourage me to take breaks. I hope this rocks your socks off.
Tumblr media
It’s stuck in his head.
The way you looked when he told you he was leaving.
The pain in your voice, the smell of your despair in the air.
There was no one more sorry than Billy Russo right now.
He sits in the isolation room of his design, his head resting against the concrete wall, the panther whining like a pained animal inside his mind, agonising over the way he hurt you, begging him to go back to you and make things right.
He closes his eyes.
He hadn’t meant to do it like that, so suddenly, he was going to ease you into it, tell you he’d gotten a work call, that he may have to respond, and then apologetically depart a while later, hoping to free you of some of the pain.
Instead, he’d blurted it out in the same moment that you’d finally admitted to him that you were ready.
To be fair, that very admittance had been the catalyst that had shoved him into an early spiral, the beast inside of him had started roaring in his mind, he’d almost lost control right in front of you.
He'd done it to protect you, that’s the only thing that puts him at ease. The possibilities of what could have happened if he were to remain in your presence worried him. The first time you'd been together, he'd bruised your wrist, there was no telling what he might do accidentally with the full moon almost overhead.
He takes a deep breath in and he can smell you, your scent still lingers on him. He'll have to get rid of his clothes if he plans to stay sane in here.
The panther fights him, tries to force him to shift prematurely. He groans, his entire body aching as he tries to resist it. He falls onto his side, his teeth elongates, breathing shallow. 
He fights harder, tries to manage his breathing like Frank taught him all those years ago. He hates the way he doesn't have control the way other shifters do, that his past still affects him, even now.
He'll never be free of it, he worries he'll have to hide from you on every full moon to protect you from the beast inside of him, he'll always have to look over his shoulder, too afraid to lose control, too scared to give in to himself.
At least he can let go here, far enough away where he can't hurt you, or scare you with his bloodlust. 
One of the bones in his shoulder bends. He grunts, takes a deep breath, waiting for the impending break to happen, his body trying to reshape him before he's ready.
It's the fight that makes it more painful, if he was compliant in his loss of control, the shift would hurt less. The pain helps though, keeps him human. He feels the burn of sweat as it drips into his eye.
After a few agonizing moments, the wave subsides, and he can sit up once more, leaning against the wall. 
There are two screens across from him, built into the wall to protect it, one shows the live security footage surrounding the abandoned building he was in, near the outskirts of the city, the other shows the security footage of his home.
He's got a couple of cameras on the surroundings, but there's one in particular he watches, the only one inside of his house. It sits in the corner of his kitchen, overlooking the main hallways, and just in the corner he can see his living room as well.
He did warn you about the camera before he left, advised that he might check in from time to time. He wonders if that was your motivation for sitting at his kitchen counter and working right now.
He takes a deep breath, relaxes, watches the way you look while you work.
It sort of calms him, to see you, there’s just something so peaceful about you and the way you move. He wants to lie beside you and watch you, he yearns for those small moments where you're deep in your own thoughts.
Outside, he hears the soft drops of rain beginning to fall, like static, it fills the room, helps him focus his thoughts.
Now more than ever, he thinks about his dreams of lying next to you, something in his chest unknots, the idea of eternal peace at your side eases him into a shallow sleep.
.
The first night after Billy left was the worst.
It wasn't the silence, so much as the lack of his presence in the house. It's like you could feel his absence, as if something warm in the room had disappeared, leaving your very insides frigid. 
You'd tossed and turned in your own room, struggling with feeling too hot or too uncomfortable, fighting hard to succumb to your exhaustion, but nothing would let you. 
You’d drank tea to calm yourself, quiet music to soothe your mind, you’d even tried an audiobook that you’d listened to a thousand times because the voice actor had a particularly soothing voice.
Nothing.
There was always something wrong.
After a few hours of frustration, you'd sat up, pushed your sheets off, and stepped softly into the hallway.
You'd approached his room slowly, not out of fear, but with curiosity, wondering what his room would look and feel like when he wasn’t here to fill the space. Pushing his door open, you'd felt something so different overcome you.
It had been so much cozier in his room, the warmth you'd been searching for had cocooned you the minute you'd taken a seat on his bed. The sheets were soft on your legs, you couldn't resist lying down.
You could smell him, his earthy scent with just a touch of citrus and when you'd closed your eyes, you swear he was still here, right around the corner, out of reach, but still present.
It leaves an excited twist in your stomach, that you can curl up in his bed, grip the pillows he sleeps on, breathe him in.
It makes falling asleep so easy, that you could never understand what the problem was in the first place.
While getting ready for work the next day, you push open his closet door, searching for something of his that you can wear, to have him close. 
You grab one of his blazers, finding a way to match the aesthetic so that it looks like it belongs to you.
It’s a little big on you, welcoming still, and you steal a scarf as well to battle the chill outdoors.
At work, you feel a thrill at wearing his items, delight in the fact that no one knows you wear his things and you sleep in his bed.
Work is monotonous without him though, every little spare minute you have makes you want to amble up to his office excitedly, only for your thoughts to stop in their tracks at the reminder that he won’t be there.
Dinah even checks on you at lunch, and while you’re happy to see her, her responses are clipped and perhaps a little more frigid than usual. You wonder if it’s because of his absence, if the only reason she bothered to put up with you was because of him. 
You try not to overthink that. Maybe it was something as simple as her own job being frustrating.
She takes off shortly after checking in, leaving you alone with only your thoughts to keep you company.
It’s a big difference from life with him to life without him, the only thing keeping you intact is that there’s only one more day and then hopefully he’ll be back with you again.
At the end of the day, you smile politely at Sergei as he holds the door of the car open for you. Outside is freezing, and you’re glad to be in the warm vehicle, shedding your jacket and scarf as the heat soaks into your body.
The moon is full, and so effortlessly beautiful tonight, you can’t help smiling up at it, wondering if the myth about shapeshifters and full moons were true.
You marvel quietly at the realisation that you knew shapeshifters existed, and yet you managed to not tell a soul. You raise your hands, fingers tracing the panther hanging around your neck, hoping that wherever he was, that he was okay.
.
The back of his head hits the wall, sweat cascading down his neck as he pants.
All he can hear is his own rapid exchange of breath, and the sound of his fingers clawing at the concrete below him.
He grunts, pressing his teeth together as another wave of pain hits, his vision going dark, one of his ribs snap and he flinches, hunching forward.
It was almost time, the moon only hours away from its peak, he feels saliva drip from his mouth as his teeth grow too large for his mouth to remain closed.
The soft rain from before falls more intensely now, he imagines what it would feel like on his skin, uses the thought to steady himself. He’s been fighting the shift all day, but soon he’ll be able to give in, soon, the panther and him will become one.
Something on the monitor catches his eye. Someone moving through the downpour outside of the building. He can’t see their face, can barely make out the figure with the way his vision swims.
The cameras follow the motion, he watches something be left at the front door of the building.
He struggles to a stand, reaching for his phone hidden behind the monitor, uses his thumbprint to unlock the large iron door keeping him in the basement.
He tries to be quick, but his struggle with the panther slows him down, by the time he makes it to the front door, any trace of the stranger is gone.
He suspects it may be the stalker, but he can’t risk the chase right now, reaching to pick up the item left behind, a small lightweight box.
He gives it a hefty shake, hears the sound of fabric swishing.
He knows he shouldn’t be opening it, but instinct has taken over, he doesn’t smell anything dangerous, but opening a potentially dangerous package is still risky.
He blinks in confusion when he finds one of his scarves folded neatly in the box. Eyebrows drawn together, he pulls the scarf out, he can smell his own scent on it, and something else that drives him to bring the material up to his nose for a deep breath.
His eyes roll back in his head when he catches the pure scent of you, and when he finally breathes in your sweet pheromones, he finally realises the danger you’re in.
He scrambles back into the basement, tripping, the panther fighting him with full force. He initiates maximum lockdown and throws his body as far away from the door as possible. 
You’re ovulating, he can smell it on the scarf, and the timelines make sense. He shakes his head, clenches his fist as the clawing inside of his mind grows frantic.
The beast inside of him wants you. Now. It fights to go to you, to find you, wherever your sweet body hides. He wants you, to drink you greedily down until he’s satisfied.
He’s your biggest threat now.
He hits the wall, again and again, fighting something intangible with every bit of himself.
The scarf is at his feet, he doesn’t remember bringing it in, but it barely matters now, he reaches for it, brings it to his face again, before flinging it away.
The sound of his own heartbeat fills his ears, the sound of his breathing all accumulates into an overbearing din in his head. He tries to cover his ears but it doesn’t help. 
Everything is too loud, growing louder by the second, until it’s too much, until he can’t take it anymore.
Billy squeezes his eyes shut, and lets out a pure, unrestrained roar.
And then, everything quiets.
He straightens, takes a few calm breaths.
He finds his phone, typing in the four-digit pin, and answering the security question with ease despite his complete inability to think. When he’s done, his hand crushes it into fragments before dropping it to the floor.
He steps out of the room, the full moon above head, with only one destination in mind.
.
Your evening had been peaceful as you’d learned to appreciate being alone. You’d sipped on a warm mug of tea and sat in his sun room while the rain had poured all around you. 
It was calming, and when you’d closed your eyes, you’d imagined him behind you, tucked against you while the world moved around you. It was such a serene thought, it made you miss him so much more. You wanted that with him, and you could only hope that he would want that too.
The evening had been uneventful, you’d taken out your laptop and sat in his kitchen to get a little bit of work done, hoping that he would send you a message to tell you he was doing okay, but you know that was unlikely when he was this busy.
The rain had gotten progressively worse, and by the time you’d climbed into his bed, it was almost a full downpour.
You’re sleeping soundly in his bed when the sharp crack of thunder wakes you.
You wake with a gasp, vision hazy as you blink, another flash of lightning waking you up just a little more.
You sit up, rubbing one eye as you look around.
A large shadow looms in the corner of your eye and you gasp, turning to it, your heart jumping into your throat in fear.
The room is moderately lit, and you manage to discern Billy almost immediately, the panic in your body dissipating.
“Oh my fucking God, you scared the shit out of me.” You gasp, keeling over to rest your head against the pillow, trying to calm your racing heart.
He doesn’t say anything, and the next time you look up at him, he’s still in the same spot, staring at you. He looks a little damp, his hair slicked back and you figure he must have walked through the rain to get here.
It unsettles you a little, you tilt your head, examining his white t-shirt and joggers, noting that his beard has grown a little longer than when you last saw him.
When he tilts his head to mimic you, face stoic,  you gulp.
“Are you alright?” You ask, stomach flipping as he takes a slow stride toward you.
You study the serious expression on his face, wondering if he was angry at coming home to find you in his bed, even though he had offered it to you before he left. 
Maybe you’d overstayed?
“I can leave if you want.” You suggest sleepily, pulling back the sheets to begin climbing out of his bed.
“Stop.” He says, and his low voice, almost a grovel, sends tingles down your spine, though you’re unable to separate the excitement from that small seed of fright within you.
You watch him approach, and after a small second of thinking, you feel the need to voice your concerns over the intensity of his gaze.
“You’re scaring me a little.” You confess on a breath.
He blinks, and then stops moving.
“I’m sorry.” He finally says, taking a step back, “I- shouldn’t be here.”
For the first time, you finally see the Billy you’re used to.
“No, it’s okay.” You say quickly, climbing out of bed to take his hand in yours, his rough palm sending tingles up your arm.
“You just scared me a little, I wasn’t expecting you back, but you can sleep next to me, I don’t mind.” You tug him to the bed, but he pauses just before you can climb in.
You look back at him in confusion, and then your stomach flips when his other hand raises to cup the back of your neck. Though his touch is gentle, it warns of something untamed below, pulling you closer to him.
You blink slowly, as scattering sparks spread where he touches you, mouth parting at the feeling he gives you, so much need for him swells inside of you.
He pulls you against his chest, and you go easily, wrapping your arms around his torso to try making him feel more comfortable. Though his hands are cold, his chest is warm, reminding you of how badly you’ve been longing for him.
His arms wrap around you too. You feel his face press to the top of your head, hear him take a deep breath, before a low rumble leaves his chest.
“You smell good.” He says.
“Thanks?” You offer, unsure.
His hands move, reaching down to grip your hips, and then smooth over the small of your back. You suck in a deep breath to fight your own urges.
He kisses the top of your head softly, and then he’s cupping your jaw to tilt your face upward, eyes fluttering closed as his lips meet your forehead, then adjusting your head, to place another to your temple.
“You’re pretty.” He murmurs into your ear, before he kisses your cheek. 
“Thank you.” You breathe, more accepting to his compliments now,  eyes still closed as his lips roam over your cheek, growing closer and closer to your mouth.
When he gets close to your mouth, he pauses, making your chest grind with want.
“Can I kiss you?” He asks, a hit of teasing in his voice, as if you would deny him, as if you could. You smile softly, tilting your head up.
“Yes.” You say in a hushed tone, biting down hard on your lip to keep you oriented.
“Sure?” He baits, his mouth at the very corner of yours, his breath, featherlight on your skin, your desire like a pit in your throat that refuses to be swallowed.
“Why are you being so mean?” You whisper, as his lips grow closer, your eyes are barely open, but you still catch his devious smile.
He pushes at your shoulders, a shocked gasp of surprise leaving your lips as you feel your feet slip from under you. You fall backwards, his soft bed catching you easily.
Almost immediately, you sit up, looking up at him in disbelief, unaccustomed to such… ferity. 
He doesn’t let you speak, or even think, before he moves, cupping your face in his hands and slanting his mouth over yours.
An explosion goes off in your head, your hands gripping the sheets almost painfully, eyes squeezed shut, trying to press your lips even firmer to his. Everywhere he touches, burns with blistering sparks.
You’re so much more than eager, beyond desperate for this taste of him, one that you’ve been yearning for, from the very first moment you kissed him.
A sigh against his lips, reaching your hands up to cup the back of his head, pull him closer so that he doesn’t come to his senses and pull away. You feel like a piece of a puzzle, relieved to be slotted into the place you belong, somehow knowing without a doubt that he was that place.
He groans passionately against your lips before pressing forward, guiding you to shuffle back on his bed so that he can crawl atop you.
You stay like that, sharing feverish kisses with each other, a quiet challenge between you to even think about pulling away. 
His hands move down, tugging your nightdress up so that he can fit himself between your thighs, your clothed cunt coming right into contact with his straining erection.
It feels euphoric, the burn of needing him, separated by only a few layers of fabric. He groans into your mouth, hands reaching to secure your hips in place, taking the opportunity to grind his cock against you in return.
You gasp, more a hitch of your breath than anything else at the delicious contact, turning your head away to try catching your breath.
It’s not something he takes kindly to, his fingers wrapping around your throat in warning, his thumb against your jaw to guide your face back to his.
His eyes are dark, almost bottomless with the way you can see no light reflecting off of them. You don't have much time to look at him before his lips are on yours once more, something searing hot, desperate clawing at you.
Your moan is broken against his mouth, your stomach twisting as you realise you need so much more than what he’s giving you right now.
“Please.” You murmur into his mouth, hoping he understands you. You arch your back, offering your body to him.
A low grunt leaves his throat, and suddenly the top of your dress gets torn into two. 
Your breasts spill out, and he moves from your mouth to kiss at your neck. 
You whine, tilting your head to give him more access, tingles spreading over your skin at the way his mouth feels. Your hands roam his back and shoulders, feeling at his damp hair, a painful desire to explore every inch of him you can reach with the tips of your fingers.
“Billy.” You hum, and you hear him moan in response, his hand reaching to palm at your breast, your clit pulsing in retaliation.
You shudder when he plucks at your pebbled nipple gently, rolling your stiff peak between his expert fingers. Your skin tingles where he touches, sparks cascading over you.
A sharp sob leaves you, your legs wrapping tightly around his hips, the friction there is only enough to tease. Your brain begs for relief from the ache of wanting.
Your head falls back against the bed, too much pleasure searing your system to focus, his mouth working your body into a boneless mass, desperate for him.
You whine when his lips seal gently around your nipple, feeling a delicious tug inside of you, his other hand reaching for your untouched breast.
The breath leaves your body, head tossed back, feeling him, the way you yearned for him in the last few days.
The sound of your dress ripping further draws you out of the fog of desire clouding your head, you look down, realising that he’s torn your dress right down the middle.
You blink, a little confused at the strength he must have to tear through your dress without even hurting you in the process. 
You suck in a deep breath, feeling some thinking redirect from your cunt to your brain, looking up at him, watching the way he studies your exposed form.
He lets out a shaky breath, withdrawing from you a little.
“I think you should run.”
“Billy?” You say his name for an explanation.
“I’m not- myself, and the things I want to do to you-” He huffs, drawing away completely.
There’s a war going on inside of his head, you can tell by the look in his eye that his desire is getting the best of him.
It’s exactly how you want it.
“I'll run if you promise to chase me.”
He squeezes his eyes shut, shaking his head.
“That’s not what I mean.”
“I know what you meant.” You challenge, sitting up and climbing out of his bed, “Stop fighting yourself, and come take what’s yours.”
When you say your last words, you drop the tattered remains of your dress from your shoulders, watching his eyes refocus on you.
He stands too, large body looming over you, lightning flashes again, painting him in a sinister light for a few microseconds.
“You have no idea what I want to do to you.” He grunts, taking a step forward.
You take an equal step back, playfulness in your eyes.
“I think you want to chase me, and I think  I want to be chased.”
A primal sound leaves his throat just then, and your eyes widen in surprise. All you can interpret, is that it’s the pure sound of him letting go of his own resistance.
You take another step back, and then another, left only in your panties, you make it to the door of his bedroom before he begins to move.
Thunder cracks, somewhere in the distance, and you make it to his dark kitchen before he catches you.
His body is pressed firmly to your back as he wraps an arm around you.
“Telling you to run was a bad idea.” His hands reaches up to cup your breasts, you groan, tilting your head back as his broad hands explore you.
His voice drops to a whisper.
“It just made me want to catch you more.”
His hand grips your throat, tilting your head up so that he can kiss you.
It’s more passionate than before, mouth pressed hard to yours, tongue delving past your lips in an effort to devour.
His other hand slides over your stomach, all the way down until his slender fingers slip below the waistband of your panties.
You gasp when he touches you for the first time, careful fingers pressing in, no doubt feeling how wet you are.
He grunts, presses his mouth to your temple.
“You’re so wet for me sweetheart, is this what you wanted? Were you lying in my bed just waiting for me to find you?”
You can’t even speak, lips parted, eyes rolling back as he gently circles your aching bud.
Warm, all around you, his scent and his body, all of it filling your head with desperation.
His grip on your jaw tightens, and you peek your eyes open to look up at him.
“Answer me.”
“Missed you.”
He lets out a sharp breath, one that could be mistaken for frustration, if you didn’t know him, but you do, you can almost feel how hard he’s trying to hold on to his control.
He spins you, pressing you back until your behind bumps his kitchen counter, his eyes are so dark, and the only time you can see his face is when lightning strikes outside.
You don’t know what he’s going to do, but somehow, with the domineering way he looks, the last thing you expect is to watch him drop to his knees.
Eye level with your cunt, he leans in, closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
“So fucking good.” He says roughly, voice low as if he meant to say it to himself.
He reaches forward, grips each side and tears the soft material into pieces.
When you’re finally bare for him, he looks up, sinister clarity in his eyes, no control left to be seen.
“Ask me.” He commands.
You gulp, unprepared to speak among the desperation in your throat.
“P-please.” You breathe.
He keeps his eyes on you, shakes his head slowly as if you've said the wrong thing.
“Don’t shy away from me now. Ask.”
“Can you- please-” You close your eyes for a moment, trying to find the willpower, “-lick my cunt?”
He's silent for a while, and you have to peek your eyes open to see him.
He looks calm, a devious smile on his face as he nods.
“Anything you want, sweetheart.” He vocalises, before leaning forward to kiss your thigh.
His kisses are meaningful, trailing from mid thigh all the way up, his beard scratching along your skin slowly, forcing you to grip the edge of his counter to keep your balance.
After a moment, he grows impatient, hands wrapping around your hips to pick you up and seat you on the edge of the counter.
You gasp.
Holy fuck, how did he just do that?
You don't get any time to reflect on it before he's spreading your legs, wide, wider, shouldering his large body between your thighs as if he owns the space, kissing at the seam of your cunt gently, as if asking further permission.
You groan, the torment of having his mouth so close burns at you, and yet you can't find the strength to say something, or even move, only able to feel.
He kisses, and kisses, and when you're sure his lips must be sticky with your arousal, he parts his lips to glide his devilish tongue against you.
Though you’ve felt the expertise of his tongue before, the sensation still draws a gasp of surprise, the reminder of what this man is capable of, flooding your head. He grips your thighs, you can almost feel the ardour in his grip, before he pushes upward, forcing you to lie back on his countertop.
You go slowly, settling for resting on your elbows while you watch him slide your legs over his shoulders.
His dark hair between your thighs sparks an untamed flood of desire, going right through you, burying its need directly into your bones.
His tongue slips against your clit, the motion so smooth that your mouth drops open at the pleasure he so easily delivers. With purposeful pressure, he tastes you, drinks you down, something insatiable blooming in his eyes as he glances at you.
He delves into your cunt next, reaching for a pure taste, sighing through his nose, you watch his eyes blissfully close for a moment as his tongue dips into the most intimate parts of you.
He groans into your cunt, warm breath across your skin, and then all bets are off.
Your clit is given attention next, swipes of his tongue that make you almost dizzy with the pleasure of it, licking at you just right, steadily pulling you closer and closer to the idea of an orgasm.
There’s no pretence of teasing behind it, his tongue gives an expert display of what he’s capable of, gliding in circles around your bud, licking you softly ever so often to let you catch your breath.
Your skin tingles, the air in your body held in an almost stasis state within your throat, being exhaled only to be inhaled in the same moment. 
Your elbows begin to protest the hard counter, and you let yourself drop against the chilly surface, appreciating the sensation against your burning skin.
He buries his tongue within you again, groaning, and then you feel as he drags the appendage out and back to your clit.
He caresses you with every part of his tongue, from the very tip making gentle flicks to the flat of it, that rolls evenly over you. Pleasure burns inside of you, building up, your body tensed and trembling slightly, silently begging him not to stop.
You whine, reaching down, in hopes that he’ll take your hand, and he does so easily, fingers interlocked, squeezing, desperate to come.
Ravenous now, the pace of his tongue increases to a near frenzy, outside, the rain matches his mindset.
Little sounds of desperation leave you, whimpers as he brings you close to your peak with just his tongue, doesn’t stop, doesn’t slow, he centres your whole world around his mouth in these moments, whether he intends to or not.
It’s gradual, it’s euphoric, you feel yourself so close to the precipice, with nothing but him on your mind.
You say his name, an appreciation of him, and all that he’s capable of.
Thighs trembling involuntarily, you raise your head to look down at him, your hand squeezing his tight, pleasure building, and building, a rubber band, pulled tight, about to be snapped.
You find his eyes on you, half-lidded, The appearance of calm, but somehow all you can see is a predator eager to devour.
It's that very look in his eye that tips you over the edge, falling back with a cry as you shatter against his dexterous tongue. You forget how to breathe as hot sparks of spread in your veins, burning, decimating your very ability to think. Your thighs tremble, chest heaving and you can feel the vibration of your heart as muted waves of bliss crash through you.
He licks you softly as you come, prolonging your orgasm, ensuring that every ounce of thought is wrung from your head with just his mouth.
When you've given him your final shiver, and you rest sated on his counter, does he finally lift himself up from between your messy thighs.
Lighting strikes when you meet his eyes, something odd about the way he's looking at you, that makes you feel like if you try to run, he would not be kind about catching you.
That is, if you could run, but your limbs are jelly at the moment, and all you can do when you meet his eyes is give him a look of adoration.
.
Control, is a distant memory, fading ever further with each minute in your presence.
Billy has only one trick left, and he’s not sure how long it’s going to last.
He watches you struggle to sit up, thighs still parted for him, and he can see your cunt, dripping hot arousal onto his kitchen counter.
His vision blurs, the panther trying to force him to grab at you, roll you over and mount you like an untamed beast. 
More ferarum, an old saying, the belief that though he may be human, and have a mostly human composition, his base desires was designed to be acted in the manner of beasts. 
To mount you like one, to fuck you like one, there’s millenia old genetics gripping his disposition by the neck and demanding he do what he was made to do.
And his solution? The answer to his problems, is the very thing driving him to insanity.
You.
Because when the beast inside of him demands your body, he presses his nose to your hair and takes a breath. When the beast demands to bite you while he takes you, he drops to his knees and tastes your cunt. 
And now, when the beast is demanding to rut into you like an animal, he takes a deep breath and looks into your eyes. 
How sweet they are, eager for him, willing to be devoured, and he knows you have no real idea of what you’re asking for.
He leans in, watching you struggle to move your body into a sitting position, and when you’re close enough, he grips your cheek and pulls you in for a kiss.
Heaven, the taste of your mouth, everything about you wraps him into knots, tangled in the web of your desire, and he’s not sure if he’s ever felt so eager to be owned.
But then your fingers reach for his shirt, and he has to stop you while he has the capacity to think, having distracted the beast with the feeling of his lips on yours.
Reaching out, Billy stops your hands as they reach for the edges of his shirt, looking into your eyes for a long moment, unsure of why he’s hesitating when he has you here, ready for him.
The idea of your hands on his bare skin makes the panther tug at his mind. Why was he stopping you? He could almost feel the promise of your soft hands, his stomach curling in desire.
He feels the beast take advantage of his muddled mind to seize control once more.
.
You can’t see too much in the low light, but you know there’s an internal battle being fought in his head. You try to be patient with him, to let him decide if he wants to continue or not, and try to be okay with whatever act he decides on.
You’re definitely not expecting him to reach through the darkness and grip your jaw.
But god, does it feel good. 
“Had enough?”
It’s definitely not something you expected him to say.
It’s hard to shake your head with his fingers pressing into your jaw but you do your best to anyway.
“Please,” You whisper, unable to voice your need, “Please.” 
You feel his grip on your jaw tighten.
“You don’t know what you’re asking for.” His voice is so deep it washes over your bare skin like a gentle caress.
“You. I’m asking for you.”
He lets out a sharp breath.
“You shouldn’t want me.”
And yet, you do.
You whine, moving a hand slowly between your thighs, your intention is to either ease the ache inside of you, or get a reaction out of him.
You get the latter, with his hand reaching out to stop yours.
When he does nothing, you groan angrily.
“Please, please, please fuck me, Billy.”
In the darkness, you can’t see his grin, but you know it’s there from the way he says his next words.
“That was all you had to say.”
And then so many things happen at once.
He grips your hips, lifting you off the counter and bringing you against his body. You squeak in surprise, not enough time to marvel at his strength before one hand is under your ass, supporting your weight, and the next hand is gripping the back of your head to kiss you, hard.
You respond readily, wrapping your legs tightly around his hips while eagerly tugging his shirt up.
Smiling into the kiss as he has no choice but to let you undress him, raising the hand gripping your hair to help you get his shirt off one arm, and then switching hands to keep you supported while you pull his shirt free in totality.
Almost immediately, your hands are on his bare torso. You sigh happily into his kiss, reaching around to trail your fingertips over his back. He grunts against your mouth, taking you somewhere with smooth steps.
When your hands trail down the front of his body, he pauses his movement to assist you in getting his pants off. Perching you on his small kitchen table, he fumbles for the button and zipper of his pants before kicking it off. Your hands keep roaming his torso eagerly, over his defined biceps and shoulders, and when it’s not enough, you lean in to place open mouthed kisses all over his collarbones.
He groans, turning his head to kiss at your cheek, one hand tilting your head so that he can pepper kisses along the side of your face.
You look down, finding his swollen cock gripped in his fist, his open pants hanging low on his hips. The tip of his cock is a dark pink, almost a purple in the low light, a bead of precum slowly presenting at his slit.
You know he's going to hate that he's wearing his pants later, so while he's distracted by kissing your cheek and stroking the remarkable length between his legs, you push his pants down lower, hoping that he'll understand and kick them off.
You don't get the chance to make sure they're fully off- he grips your jaw, turning your head up to his.
Such a beautifully sinister face, the promise of pleasure so close.
“Are you ready for me?” He asks, his voice a husky timbre.
Honestly, you didn't know, but with the amount of arousal you were feeling, the way your thighs and ass were messy with want, the knowledge that your body was at peak fertility, made your odds look pretty good.
Plus, you didn't think you had the sanity left in you to make sure. You wanted him badly, and you wanted him now.
You swallow, eyes demure as you nod your head.
He grips your jaw harder.
“Say. It.” He hisses.
“I want you in me.” You breathe softly.
You watch his eyes roll closed, lips parted, breathing shallow. A sharp nod, before he’s lining his cock up with your entrance by feel alone.
You bite down on your bottom lip really hard- clenching the moment you feel the head of his cock press against you.
“Easy,” Billy soothes, his hand smoothing over your shoulder and down your back, “Relax for me.” He whispers, bringing his mouth to your ear.
You give a shy nod, taking a deep breath as he eases the tip of his cock into you.
A little broken sound leaves your throat, your head falling against his chest. Your centre flutters involuntarily, clenching around him, pulling another soft whimper from you.
“I know, sweetheart, I know.” He hums, pressing deeper. 
When he hits an uncomfortable point, stretching your cunt wide, your breath hitches as you drag your nails across his arm, silently asking him to wait, please.  
He does, hands gripping your hips, aching for some semblance of sanity as he feels you all around him.
When you’re feeling okay, you shift your hips closer, silently asking for more.
It’s a trial, taking him, despite how wet and aching you are, even though you’ve been dreaming of this for days, your thighs tremble as you breathe evenly in an attempt to accept his girth.
“Billy.” You mewl, nails clawing at his biceps, squeezing tight as he finally fits the last inch of himself deep inside you.
You can feel him so eternally deep, the tip of his cock snug against your cervix while your lungs heave air, unable to comprehend the pleasure of being so full.
Trembling, your eyelids flutter as he draws out, and then back in again, thankfully, slow enough for you to accommodate.
He takes an audibly sharp breath, before you feel him lift you off the counter.
Your mouth drops open in shock, hands wrapping around his shoulders to steady yourself, and you feel his hands, their firm grip on your ass as he begins rocking you slowly on his cock.
There’s absolutely no way- he steals your thinking with a rough thrust- mouth dropping open as his cock rubs that delicious spot deep inside you.
He lets out a soft grunt that makes you clench, pleasure clouding your brain, removing each thought until you’re a puddle of want.
His pace is even, calm, he moves you as if you weigh almost nothing, lifting and dropping you on his own whim, his breathing is uneven, sometimes deep, and other times shallow, but you feel that has more to do with the grip of your cunt than the weight of you.
He clenches his jaw, eyes fluttering as he begins to make deeper strokes, you struggle to hold your body upright, leaning against him, your head on his shoulder while he uses you to please himself.
It’s more than good, better than anything before, he gives you just what you need and maybe a little more. You feel full, stretched, like this is what you’ve been craving for most of your life.
You sink your fingers into his shoulders, trying to fight the tears of ecstasy threatening to fall. His skin is warm, a little groan on each breath.
It flutters in your ribs, the tug of something intoxicating deep inside of you as he fucks you like this, as if he owns you and the very pleasure you experience. Your cunt clamps down around him, desperate, warning, that you were going to shatter around him very soon.
You say his name, head tipping back to allow more air into your system, as if that could help you manage the impending act of falling apart.
He makes a low sound, almost a growl, makes you shiver, your thoughts being scrubbed from your mind as his cock fills you repeatedly.
It's too much, and then there's a rush of pleasure inside you, starting from your center and working its way into your head. You sob, body rocking against his, locked tight on the brink of insanity.
A sharp cry spills from your mouth as your vision goes white, his hands tighten on the flesh of your ass, going still when you clench around his cock.
It feels like you're locked in that haze of pleasure for eternity, head tipped back, eyes closed, soft whimpers leaving your lips as you grip his cock like life depends on it.
Then comes the tremors, falling against him, your entire body quivers, waves and waves of sizzling euphoria, carving its way up your spine, pooling somewhere in the back of your head making all your limbs feel so sluggish.
He holds you through all of it, cock deep, kissing your deepest parts, breathing shallow, eyes dark, filled with want.
.
When you come on his cock, his thinking fragments.
All it takes is the flutter of your walls around him, the way you look while you take pleasure on his cock, the smell of your skin, your moans filling the air, he doesn't think he's ever been this far away from sanity.
His mate is beautiful.
Made just for him, and him for her.
The beast inside of him demands he claim ownership, raw instinct to bite into your skin and mark you, leave traces of his spit and his cum on you so that everyone will know that you’re his.
The taste of your cunt lingers on his tongue, he doesn’t remember that he’s a man in these few moments after he feels you come.
All he can think of now, is the magnificence of his soulmate, and the ways he’s going to ruin her, the ways he’s going to reshape her until she wants for only him.
He feels his teeth sharpen, feels you lean in to rest your head against his shoulder. 
It would be so easy, his mouth is so close, he could tilt his head and sink his teeth into your skin and you would barely feel any pain because he’d be fucking you through it, making sure you come at least three more times before he releases your skin from between his teeth.
He leans in, rubs his lips to your shoulder, to the very spot he’d bite, feels you clench around him in response, almost as if you’re asking for the same thing.
He closes his eyes, feels the push of the panther in his head, almost goes along with it.
It’s the smell of your skin that stops him. He stands there, breathing you in.
Fresh strawberries, making his mouth water, so deliciously ripe for him, all for him.
Sweet and small in his arms- hurting you would tear him apart.
It gives him the willpower to raise his head, to suck in a deep breath and remember that the predator was not all that he was, that he could choose differently.
He would simply, choose you.
.
When your orgasm finally subsides, all you can do is rest your head on his shoulder, clinging to him, in hopes that he never releases you.
He moves, holding you so easily that you have no idea how it’s even possible.
When your body is placed gently onto his bed, you only get a few moments to settle before his cock is pressing into you with more fervour than before.
It knocks the air right out of you, his thrusts are deep and fast, chasing his own orgasm now that he’s given you yours.
You moan, feeling him fill you so roughly, so deeply that you know you never want him out, you squeeze the walls of your cunt around him, silently begging him to stay deep inside of you, to empty himself there, a primal voice in the back of your head telling you that this is what you were made for.
His grip is tight on your hips, his breathing is shallow and hitched, broken up with low grunts, that makes your brain rattle with want.
He’s like a coiled predator, moving his body against yours, holding you firm so that he can plunder the deepest parts of you as he so pleases.
He leans down to kiss you, but doesn’t linger in favour of fucking you harder, your head tilted back, moaning in bliss to high heaven.
It works you up to another orgasm so quickly that you can only whimper in warning, trying to tell the amazing man above you that he’s your undoing without ever uttering a word. Your fingers grip his arms, wherever you can reach, nails pressed to his skin because you feel like you’re floating and you need him to tether you.
Something clicks in your brain just then, as he’s inside of you, the shallow pump of his cock lighting up every uncharted part of your brain, flooding your body with euphoria, unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
It’s almost like self discovery, though, you’re not sure what you’ve found, all you know is that you’re open, and vulnerable beneath him, and through your watery vision- as the first hot tear spills from the corner of your eyes, and you catch sight of his parted lips and pinched eyebrows- you understand something you didn’t before.
That this is where you belong. With him, under him, taking him. 
“Good.” He grunts above you, and you force your eyes to focus on his gorgeous face.
“You feel so good.” He says again, and you whine, cunt clenching as he keeps his thrusts short. You can feel how wet you are in the ease of his motions, your body accepting him, you can feel him with the most intimate parts of yourself.
After a moment, he goes deeper.
You let out a strangled sound, barely capable of breathing with the sheer size of him in the deepest parts of you, you reach to grip the sheets instead as you fear you might hurt him, your body shaking with the desire to fall apart around him.
His mouth parts on a harsh breath, and your eyes drop down to his pink mouth, something odd about the way his canines look, your brain too blissed out to focus.
His teeth are sharp, and there’s something about his eyes.
“Please.” You beg, aching for another orgasm, lost in the rhythm of his cock inside of you, his thrusts growing so forceful that you shift up the bed with each thrust, the headboard bumping the wall each time as well.
“I-” You try to say, looking into his eyes, a low whine slipping from your throat, trying to tell him, to convey to him that you’re on edge and close to orgasm.
He understands, like you knew he would. Billy leans into you, taking up all the space around you, one hand sinking into your hair, holding you in place, his other hand interlocking with yours.
“Mine.” He rumbles, right into your ear, your skin tingles at the low timbre of his voice, you feel his teeth, scrape over your neck and you gasp.
“Cum. Now.” He orders, and your entire body shudders almost instantly. You cunt flutters involuntarily around his cock, you hear him let out a low moan as your clenching around is cock gets more intense.
A broken sound leaves your mouth, and then the dam breaks. 
You sob endlessly as pleasure overtakes your system, burning like wildfire in your veins, consuming everything and leaving only bliss in its wake. Your body thanks him, quietly, unable to do anything more than experience pleasure at the whim of his fingers and the steady motion of his cock. He holds you through all of it, an anchor that grounds you as you lose all thought. 
His lips pepper kisses over your neck, it only makes the pleasure that much sweeter. 
Above you, Billy growls loudly, you feel him make one final thrust, before he orgasms too, filling you with his cum, making you feel whole in a way you barely understand.
He stays inside of you for a while, cock twitching, you swear he fills you so much that it could almost spill out.
“I’m sorry.” Are the first words he whispers to you through shuddering breaths, his hands cupping your cheeks to encourage you to meet his eyes with your glassy ones.
“Are you hurt? Please tell me if I hurt you.”
You reach up to cup his cheek too, so happy to have him here with you, finally realising how much you really missed him.
Could he be yours? Really yours? Would he spend the rest of his days making you feel safe and loved and happy the way you were feeling right now?
Was that a real possibility for the two of you?
“I’m okay.” You finally gasp, thick emotion in your voice. You grip the back of his head, fingers tangled in his hair to pull him down for a kiss.
Outside, thunder rumbles across the sky.
.
Your kisses are soft, meaningful, but it doesn’t take long for them to grow frantic again, and before you know it, his cock, having never gone soft, resumes fucking you once more.
Your body is ready for more, prioritising pleasure over whatever mild soreness you may feel. He fucks you to another orgasm before flipping you over onto your hands and knees.
He’s deeper now, your eyes roll back in your head as you rock your hips to meet his, a quiet slapping fills the room.
He reaches around, grips your throat to pull you up.
Your back pressed to his chest, his mouth tickles your ear.
“You can take it can’t you?” He asks, breathing laboured.
You mewl, nodding, his hips meet yours in another hard thrust.
 “Isn’t this what you wanted, sweetheart? What you-” He kisses your cheek, “ -and that pretty little cunt has been begging for?”
“Uh-huh.” Is your only vocalisation.
“So sweet for me.” He says, almost to himself, before he makes you see stars.
.
Your hair splays around you as your body falls to the bed, his cock filling you with his cum yet another time.
He stays inside of you for long moments, not pulling out until he absolutely has to.
You feel his spend spill out of you, you try to keep it inside.
He’s covered in a sheen of sweat when he crashes next to you, breathing rapid just like yours is.
You look into his eyes, and you see the corner of his mouth tick up into a smile, both of you fully understanding that this would not be the last time you fuck tonight.
.
When he takes you against the window, your legs wobble. He solves the issue by picking you up once more.
One hand pressed to the glass, the other under your ass, you’re not even sure how it’s possible that you’re being fucked in this position, but honestly you don’t care as long as he keep filling you with his deliciously large cock.
.
It’s almost morning when you finally fall into a deep sleep, wrapped in his arms, his fingers trailing in slow circles around the small of your back.
You breathe contentment, a bliss you’d never even thought was achievable, sated in his arms and you know there’s nowhere on earth that could be better than this.
.
You groan when he slips your still tired body into the warm bath.
You barely peek an eye open, feeling him slide in behind you, you turn so that your front is pressed against his.
His hands are firm yet gentle, washing the dried sweat from your skin, pouring warm water onto your shoulder, carefully swiping his fingers through your hair.
“ Wha’ time is it?” You mumble sleepily, lips half pressed to his collarbone.
“After twelve, we slept for a while.” He murmurs softly, sleep still clinging to his voice.
“We fucked for a while too.” You sigh.
He chuckles.
.
You ride him in his sun room after breakfast.
Or maybe that was lunch, the details seem irrelevant.
He piles you high with toast and eggs, bacon that tastes almost as good as the sex had been, and when you’re full, you can’t help the way your hands wander over his skin.
It’s not on purpose at first, you just want to enjoy his presence, tracing your hands up his shoulders to play with the hairs near the nape of his neck.
But he closes his eyes, makes a soft groaning sound when you gently scratch his scalp.
And then of course, you have to kiss him.
One soft peck, and then another, you find yourself pressed against him, tongues dancing, the grip of his hands on your hips, pulling you closer and closer.
He seats you on his lap and you can feel his stiff erection through his thin boxers and all bets are off.
You place a kiss on his lips after, telling him you’ll be right back, taking the empty dishes down to the kitchen and using the bathroom before heading back.
You find him lying on his front, sleeping in a beam of sunlight.
He’s face down, the light of the sun revealing his true hair colour to be more of a dark brown that the black it usually looks like, his breathing is soft and even, and you curl your hands into fists to resist reaching out to touch his bare back.
You smile fondly, noticing he’s not where you left him, figuring he must have moved into the sunlight before falling asleep, very much like a-
Like papers reshuffling, you feel your thoughts build a conclusion you didn’t even know you were looking for.
Of course, it had been right in front of you all along, staring you right in the face and you hadn’t even realised.
You raise a hand, touching the pendant hanging around your neck.
The memory of the way his teeth looked last night- that you’d sworn was just a trick of the light, the unexplainable way he’d lifted you- effortlessly strong in a way that you’d never seen a man do.
The way the animal had come to you, bringing your most beloved possession back, after you’d cried in his arms about the very thing.
You let out a soft breath, leaning against the doorframe to come to terms with the undeniable truth, that Billy, was the panther protecting you.

A/N: I didn't initially intend to stop here, but the length of the chapter grew to unmanageable lengths, I'm very sorry about the unintentional cliffhanger.

Title: Tender Care.
Written for a very lovely, very indulgent anonymous commissioner.
Pairing: Yandere!Yor x Reader (SxF).

TW: Non/Con, AFAB!Reader, Slight Asphyxiation, Overstimulation, Implied Violence, Bad Medical Advice, Oral Sex, Delusional Behavior, and Prolonged Stalking.
[Part Two]
Tumblr media
Your first instinct was, unimpressively, to assume that she’d followed you here.
It wasn’t the most brilliant idea that’d ever flashed across your mind, but honestly, what else were you supposed to think? You could count the number of days in the past three months you hadn’t ‘coincidentally’ run into the Forgers on a single hand, and you had to hold the precious few nights you didn’t spend helping Loid cook for his busy family or attempting to tutor Anya or trying to talk your way out of whatever family outing they’d invited you on close – if you could really call Yor showing up on your doorstep with a spare dress and a beaming smile an invitation. You couldn’t seem to get rid of them, so it wasn’t out of the question that you wouldn’t be as safe as you’d hoped in the sanctuary of an opera house two trains and three taxis away from the little apartment complex that’d become your waking nightmare. Even if it was only Yor, rather than all three. Even if she clearly wasn’t paying attention to you, her concentration solely on the man she had pinned to wall, one hand wrapped around his throat and a long, needle-like blade clasped in the other. Even if she couldn’t have known you would’ve gotten lost on your way to your seat, couldn’t have snuck into a place like this in a dress sporting so many strange, crimson stains. Even if nothing you were looking at made any sense, you couldn’t help it.
Your second instinct – when you realized that the man she had pinned to the wall wasn’t breathing, that the strange substance painted across her dress probably had something to do with the blood leaking from his throat, that you could only pray she hadn’t come here for you – was to scream.
You covered your mouth as quickly as you could, but it was too late. Yor snapped in your direction, letting the dead man fall to the ground as she turned to face you. Suddenly, as those prying crimson eyes met yours, the hallway between you and her didn’t feel as long as it had, a moment ago, the threat she presented less psychological and more immediate, more physical. Yor seemed to recover from her bloodlust before you managed to pull yourself out of your shock; her eyes widening as she took a step towards you, then another, tucking her weapon into her belt as she approached you slowly, as if her pace would be what scared you away.
And, to her credit, you didn’t move. It was one thing to dread running into your clingy neighbor in an unused wing of an opera house on the other side of town, another entirely to see that same neighbor strangling a man to death. It was all you could do to remind yourself to breathe, to try and fail to stop yourself from shaking as she came to stand in front of you. There was an airy sigh, a quick shake of her head, then her blood-stained hands came up to cup your face, to tilt your head back and force you to acknowledge her adoring stare, the tentative grin tugging at the corner of her lips – not entirely dissimilar to the expression she wore as she forced you out of your peaceful seclusion.
“What are you doing here, sweetheart?” she asked, in the same gentle tone she used when Anya got into a fight with one of her classmates, when Loid came home with bags under his eyes and only half the energy it would’ve taken to stumble to bed. “I thought you were supposed to be staying home, tonight.”
Did you? You didn’t remember that. Then again, you couldn’t remember much of anything beyond this, beyond the feeling of Yor’s warmth seeping into your cheek, the sight of her looming above you. Had she always been so tall? She couldn’t have been. If it’d always been so clear just how easily she would be able to overpower you, you would’ve moved to the other side of the country the day she and her awful husband moved in.
You didn’t respond, but Yor didn’t seem to care. “It’s alright,” she went on, as if that would be enough to stop your knees from buckling underneath you, as if that would be enough to stop you from running for your life as soon as you remembered how to move your legs. “I’ll have this cleaned up in a few minutes. Then, we can spend the rest of the night together.”
She bowed her head, ducking low enough for her lips to brush against the top of your head and linger there.
She didn’t get a chance to pull away before your legs gave out and the world around you went dark.
~
Yor’s first instinct was, of course, to catch you, smiling as your body went limp and collapsed into her arms.
Her second, rather belatedly, was to remember that she was still very much in the middle of a mission and think that maybe, just maybe, she should stage your little reunion somewhere other than her crime scene.
It helped that her time alone with you was cut short before she could let you distract her, again. For as adorable as she’d found it, your scream had drawn more than a little unwanted attention; she could already hear a rush of footsteps only a few hundred feet away, five or so civilians she didn’t have the clearance to dispose of. With a small frown, a disappointed sigh, she took you into her arms and found somewhere to stow you away – a cramped, forgotten dressing room, left neglected by those responsible for its upkeep. She didn’t bother trying to turn on the lights, relying on her limited sight to find a dust-coated vanity and lean you against a cracked mirror she could only hope wouldn’t cut you. She wouldn’t know what to do with herself if you got hurt because of her carelessness.
Even unconscious, it was clear you were already in distress. Your breathing was uneven, ragged, and she could practically feel your heart beating as she pressed her ear to your chest, even if she was glad to know it was beating at all. She’d let rose-colored joy tinge your greeting, but she now that she thought about it, Yor could remember how shocked you’d looked to see her, how shaken the sight of so much blood had left you. Oh, poor thing. She couldn’t begin to imagine how scared you must’ve been.
She couldn’t begin to imagine how scared you still were. With her head still resting against your chest, she felt you start to stir, shifting underneath her as your own restlessness brought your brief respite to an abrupt end. Your hands – still shaking, much to Yor’s shame – rose to her shoulders, shoving her away gently as you attempted to speak for the first time since you’d run into each other. “P-please, I need—Please, don’t—”
The footsteps were closer, now, a small collection of vaguely masculine voices coming into earshot. Her hand was around your throat in a moment, her palm forced over your mouth in another. You let out a panicked, muffled shriek, and Yor did what she could to hush you, to comfort you. You looked like you could use some comfort, right now.
“I know, I know, it’s scary,” she started, doing her best to keep her voice down, to make sure her hold on your throat wasn’t too tight, that she wasn’t pressing too hard on anything you couldn’t live without. It’d be a shame to accidentally snap your neck, or worse – choke you until you passed out for the second time that day. Even you wouldn’t forgive her for something like that. “Please, try to stay with me. We just have to wait until the commotion dies down, then I can explain what’s going on.”
Her excuses did little to soothe you. Her heart broke as you kicked and struggled, your nails biting into her wrist and thick, warm tears soon flooding down your cheeks. In any other situation, the sight would’ve brought her to hysterics too, but she couldn’t, she had to be strong for you. Catching her with her mark must’ve left you more off-kilter than she’d thought. You weren’t just startled, you were terrified – no, worse than that, you were irrational, past the point of anything Yor could think to say. You were—
You were hysterical.
The phrase rose up from a half-remembered conversation she’d had with Loid weeks ago, after she commented on how cutely your voice shook and wondered aloud if you were always so nervous, if there was anything they would be able to do to help you lower your guard. It was only a passing thought, an ill-advised suggestion, something he’d mumbled about in a state of exhaustion and refused to mention again after a full night’s rest. Pelvic massages, he’d called them, an outdated treatment administered to women experiencing fits of extreme emotion. Often administered without consent, let alone proper documentation.
‘Outdated’, Loid had called it, but he never said ‘ineffective’.
Yor took a deep breath, steeling herself. She tightened her hold on your throat until each shallow breath took every last drop of your concentration. Only when she was sure you didn’t have the oxygen to cry out did she let her palm fall away from your mouth – taking to the space between your thighs, instead. “I’m going to help you,” she whispered, more for herself than for you. “Just… just let me do this for you, please.”
Her voice shook as she found the hem of your dress. Thankfully, your skirt had pooled around your thighs when she set you on the vanity, meaning she’d only just started to blush by the time she’d dragged it up to your waist. She tried to think about how Loid would handle this, about how he would handle you, but nervous static overwhelmed her more rational thoughts the moment her fingertips made contact with your panties, already damp where the fabric pressed against your slit. That was good. A doctor would’ve thought that was good, surely.
Yor couldn’t help but think that it was great – just how quickly you’d gotten wet for her.
She slipped too fingers underneath the thin material, pulling it to the side. In response, you let out a noiseless whine, only identifiably by the slight reverberation of your throat against her palm, and tried to shut your legs, to stop her from helping you. She worked a knee between your legs before they could close completely, forcing your thighs apart and finding your clit with her thumb, eager to prove how useful she could be before you tried to shut her out again. Admittedly, she wasn’t the most experienced caretaker you could’ve had, but she tried to picture the anatomical models she’d seen in Loid’s study, to think of the way she touched herself when she had a excuse to let herself into your apartment, when she was surrounded by things that smelled like you and unable to hold herself back. Slowly, carefully, she started to circle the bundle of nerves with the pad of her thumb, mindful not to hurt you or leave you feeling neglected, unloved.
When you bucked against her, she only held you more securely. Soon, her chin rested on your shoulder, quiet coos and words of comfort falling past her lips as she slid two fingers into your pussy and scissored them apart, savoring how you clenched around her. You weren’t in a relationship (she would’ve noticed if you were, would’ve made sure no one else got close enough to hurt you), and while she wasn’t sure how often you… how often you took care of yourself, it couldn’t have been often enough. All she had to do was curl her fingers, flick her wrist, pay a little attention to your clit, and you were practically melting around her. As your slick began to drip down the inside of your thighs, she added a third digit, and your body stiffened underneath her touch, a pair of hands shooting up and taking hold of her shoulders. You really were adorable, she thought, as your nails bit into her skin. You really did need her.
It took more than a little strength to remember why she was doing this, to keep herself from leaning into your affection and keep her pace steady, her tempo constant. The most self-indulgence she allowed herself was a stolen kiss to the curve of your neck, right above the point where her hand wrapped around your throat, then another to your collarbone, a satisfied hum escaping despite her best efforts when she realized you were wearing the low-cut dress she and Loid had gotten for you, last time you accompanied them on a day-long shopping trip. Still, it wasn’t enough to stop her heart from skipping a beat as you stiffened, as your pulse raced underneath her palm and the walls of your pussy convulsed around her fingers. Your mouth fell open, but she managed to keep any sound you might’ve made silent as she brought you to your first climax; your orgasm gentle, but intense enough for her to draw out for minutes before it ended and left you limp, clearly exhausted. Your eyes flickered up, meeting hers in a wordless plea to stop, but she couldn’t afford to be soft with you, not when your own well-being was at stake. Not when you so clearly needed her help.
Tearing a strip of material from the ringed collar of her dress, she pushed an apologetic kiss into the corner of your lips and fastened the makeshift choker around your neck, tight enough to keep you quiet, tight enough to make sure you’d have that pretty, glassy-eyed look for just a few minutes longer. She couldn’t hear the civilians anymore, but then again, she couldn’t hear much of anything over the sound of her own heart beating in her hears as she kneeled in front of you, her hands keeping your thighs spread open as she buried her face between your thighs, mouth latching onto your dripping pussy as if by instinct. Attempting to think about what was medically necessary, what was best for your health was beyond her, now, as her tongue lapped over your entrance, as she tasted you for the first time and found pure euphoria between your thighs. For all the joy she felt, she wasn’t surprised. She’d always known you’d be the sweetest thing she ever tasted.
Any noise you might’ve made was quickly replaced by the slick noise of sucking, lapping, savoring. It was messy, not as calculated as she wanted to pretend to be or as tender as it had been whenever she imagined your first time together, but Yor’s best traits had always lied with her passion, her brute strength, and it only took seconds for you to let out a breathy, muffled sob of a moan, to grind stiltedly into her mouth as she swallowed down everything you had to give her. This time, she didn’t attempt to pull away, to act like she could let that much distance form between you and her. Loid had called it a treatment, right? No, it wasn’t a question, she was sure – this was supposed to be a treatment.
And, as far as Yor could tell, that meant she’d have to help you until you were completely, entirely, absolutely better.
No matter how many hours it took to cure you, she wouldn’t leave your side until you’d made a full recovery.

BLOOD SACRIFICE
Vampire!Benjicot 'Davos' Blackwood x Septa!Reader
There will be smut so Minors DNI 18+
SNIPPET OF ONE OF THE THREE STORIES!
Synopsis: Many say the church can protect you against evil, that’s a lie. You pray to the Seven for forgiveness and protection, but they do not grant it. The stranger himself gets invited into the church, what will you do when he bears his fangs and gives you the choice between death or lust?
Tumblr media
The stained glass shines from the illumination of the moon, the light refracting and casting shadows. My veil covers my hair, billowing down my back and coating the floor in the laced fabric.
My hand clutches my rosary, my mouth moving fast as I mutter prayers to the Seven. There had been talks of a monster amongst us. Murders of young, vulnerable women had become the new town myth, they say a Vampire.
Yes, a Vampire apparently walks amongst us. Ridiculous but precautions must be maintained.
We do not know if the Vampire is tall or short. Young or old. Pretty or ugly. All we know is that there is someone with a bloodlust amongst us.
My prayers are dedicated to the Seven, specifically the Warrior. I prayed to him for protection, to help rid us of this foul disease plaguing the Riverlands.
"I pray to the Warrior for protection and bravery, give me strength and safety and I will forever be in your debt." I mutter, my eyes closed and mind blank, only focusing on the words I’m speaking and which of the Seven I am praying to.
After praying to the Warrior, the Father, Mother, Maiden, the Crone and even the Smith, I go to pray to the Stranger, but something stops me.
I hear a scratch on wood. I stop my prayer for a few seconds, listening to hear. Nothing. So I go back to praying. "I pray to the Stranger-" scratch, scratch, scratch.
I pause, my eyebrows furrowing as I finally open my eyes, moving my eyes around the very empty church, my eyes land on nothing. There is nothing here with me. There must be rats in the wall.
I open my mouth to continue before a loud banging makes me jump and drop my rosary. I look behind me and see the door shake with the sheer force of the knocks.
Once the knocks cease I get the courage to call out in the darkness, "Who comes here at the hour of the wolf?"
Silence. "Answer me!" Silence as well.
I stand up from my sitting position, discarding my rosary as it lays neglected on the floor. I slowly walk towards the large double doors, my bare feet planting on the cold stone.
My body reaches the door, fingers instinctively reaching out and grabbing onto the handle. I go to pull it but I hesitate. What was on the other side? A cat? A person? The killer?…
You only live once, if I am to die then I am to die, it is what the Seven want.
I use a lot of my strength to pull open one of the doors to reveal the cold to the warm.
As my eyes scour as much as the darkness allows me to see. I turn my head right, nothing. I turn my head left, a shadow.
I shriek out of shock, jumping as I look at the body before me. A man. He has scruffy black hair, a cocky grin and a scar above his lip.
"Greetings, Septa." He smirks, enjoying my reaction. Who was this man? "Greetings… how may I help you?…" My tone is sceptical, unsure.
"I need a place to rest until the morrow. Well, it already is, what I mean is when the sun rises." He flashes a charming but cocky smile, stepping slowing infront of me. He was tall and lean, towering over me.
"Of course, you could have just came inside you know? Come, step inside, you are always welcome at the Church." His smile widens and turns into a smirk. His eyes flashing an emotion I cannot put my finger on. But it wasn’t just an emotion. I swear I had saw his deep, dark eyes flash a bright red, but it was dark, the hour of the wolf, I am just tired.
I welcomed the young man inside, smiling politely as I let him in. Shutting the door, I do not realise the danger I face. I have just locked myself in an isolated Church with a Vampire. Gods help me…

It's Over (Astarion x Reader)
Hella angst. Will most likely write a part two because I can't see them sad for too long :(
Tw - gore, couple arguing, panic attack
Recommended Song: hoax - Taylor Swift
It's time. Astarion rips Cazador's body from the coffin, bloodlust in his eyes. You've had your doubts about the rite, about Astarion ascending, but he seemed insistent. He whispered sweet things about how he only wanted to keep both of you safe, and it made your skin crawl. Your precious lover, the pale vampire you came to love, he wanted that horrific power for himself, but at what cost?
"Astarion, stop."
His eyes meet yours.
"What my dear? Want to drink me in before I become the ascendant?"
"You don't know what you're doing."
He scoffs.
"Sure I do. Sacrifice the spawn, get rid of Cazador, leave the past behind! We can leave it all behind."
"You'll become just like him, you can be better than this."
"As if I could ever be the monster he is."
Astarion goes to start the ritual, to become something he was never meant to be. Something in you simply snaps, and you grab for your knife.
"What do you need that for?"
Your breathing gets heavy. Thoughts of your adventures, how long it took you to get here, how badly he wanted this, to finally feel safe. He can't help but stare at your shaking figure, wondering what the sudden stress is all about. You say nothing, instead taking a few steps towards the center of the room, by the vampire lord's defenseless body.
"Tav, what are you-"
And suddenly you're on your knees, plunging your knife into Cazador's chest, letting the blood spurt out of his skin, flying into your eyes.
"TAV!"
Astarion scrambles to fight the knife out of your hands, ignoring your tears. His master is already gone though, long gone, his lifeless corpse bleeding out all over the floor. He's frantic, your limbs crashing against each other.
"What have you done?!"
His cries turn into a shout, somewhere warbled between fear and anger.
"He was mine Tav, you knew he was mine!"
Checking for any sign that the vampire is still alive, he has trouble catching his breath. He quickly comes to his feet, realizing it's a fruitless endeavor. The vampire spawn mumbles to himself.
"It can still work, it has to work."
You get up to follow him, trying to get him to turn and face you.
"My lo-"
"Don't! You said you'd help me, you said you'd help me do this!"
Tears start to form in his eyes as the crushing anxiety turns his breathing into a choked wheeze, the beginning of a panic attack ensuing.
"I- I can't- you said."
"Aster, Aster listen to me, please."
You desperately try to hold onto him as he breaks from your grasp, becoming more scattered. He tries to form another sentence, filled with rage and sorrow.
"You... you lied to me! I-"
His body starts to crumble into yours, unsure of where else to go.
"I know. I'm sorry my love. I'm sorry."
The two of you come to the ground, him lying in your arms.
"I'm so sorry Astarion. I did what I had to, I couldn't see you become that monster. I just couldn't lose you like that."
He tries to choke out words in his mumbling breath.
"Hush, you're not breathing. I need you to breathe."
The rest of your companions watch on, knowing this was the plan if you couldn't get Astarion to give up the rite. Most of them can barely watch as he falls apart. You try to rub up and down his back, setting some kind of pace for his breath, but he just keeps trying to talk.
"How could you do this to me..."
It stings, making you wonder if you were wrong, if he'll hate you after this. He probably hates you right now.
"I know, I'm sorry."
He wasn't wrong. After wishing to complete the ascension for so long, ever since Raphael told him of the rite, it felt terrible to take it from him like this. But you knew better, that deep down you were saving him. You just didn't yet know at what cost. He continues to sit in your embrace, and you keep whispering sweet words. At some point his breathing starts to even out, but he just sobs more and more. You can hear Shadowheart and Gale murmuring behind you, somewhere that feels so far from this moment.
"Why?"
His question distracts you from the conversation off in the distance. You don't even know what to say. What in this moment could possibly convince him that this is for the best? He's just scared. He's always been scared, but he doesn't have to become the fear.
"You would've lost yourself. We all would've lost you Aster. I would've lost you."
He almost tries to argue with you, but loses his voice in the misery. It's over. He can't complete it now. You've made his decision for him.
When it comes time to go, he doesn't walk alongside you. The group makes their way back to the inn, and he simply silently walks amongst your companions, as he often did before you ever fell in love. Shadowheart makes her way to the back of the group.
"You did what you had to do. He'll see that eventually."
You liked her words, now you just had to believe them.
Despite the obvious tension, you end up in your room together, and for the first time in a long time he doesn't yearn for your touch. He lays on the bed as far as he can from you, leaving the blankets and sheets up to your discretion. There's not a thought behind his eyes, just shock, and that nagging fear that won't go away.
"I love you."
Astarion doesn't say it back, instead finding that it's too hard to try and sleep in the same room as you. He quickly gets up and storms out of the room, slamming the door. Your tears fall into the sheets he left you with. He ends up knocking on Gale's door, not sure where else to go. Usually he'd make fun of the wizard for various reasons, but he just averts his gaze, until he lets him in.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Gale asks, clearly very tired from today's events.
"No. I just want to be angry."
The man of the weave sighs.
"We all would've done the same. Tav was just the one to execute it."
"There's a very big difference in saying you'd do something, and actually doing it."
Gale lets the conversation go, allowing a space for Astarion to sleep on the bed, grabbing a spare blanket from the chair in the corner.
"They really love you. I know it may not seem like it right now, but Tav loves you more than I've ever seen anything be loved."
"Did I come here to be lectured?"
"Ugh, no. But you can't stay mad at them forever Astarion."
"I'll be the judge of that."
The next morning join your companions downstairs for a sloppily prepared breakfast. Wyll and Lae'zel look prepared to take on the day, talking about Githyanki fighting techniques. Shadowheart and Halsin look over your stock of herbs and potions, and Karlach helps Gale serve up food. Astarion is nowhere to be found. The wizard must've seen the worry in your eyes.
"He's in my room."
You let out a silent 'oh,' and take a serving of breakfast. After a couple minutes of moving the mixture around, you can't seem to force yourself to eat.
"Just go check on him, you're not fooling anyone."
Shadowheart gives you a sad smile. You pass her your food and go back upstairs, finding Gale's room. A soft knock against the door, the sound of the bed creaking inside.
"Aster, my love?"
No response. Against your better judgement, you open the door slowly.
"I don't really feel like talking Tav."
He's reading some tome Gale had lying around, trying to distract himself.
"I know. I just wanted you to know, I really am sorry."
Astarion sighs, setting the book down on the mattress.
"Alright, so we are talking then! Great, whatever you want."
"Don't be like that."
"Be like what? Be mad that you made a very important choice for me, against my will?"
You close the door behind you, knowing it's probably going to get ugly.
"Don't shut me out and pretend like we don't need to have this conversation, is what I meant."
"Fine. We'll have this conversation then."
He checks his nails, trying his best not to look you in the eye.
"I told you what I wanted, I told you what was important to me, and you lied. You lied and said you'd help me get what I want, what I wanted for both of us."
"I didn't think there would be any convincing you until you saw it all again."
"What? All of my mistakes? All the poor innocent people I lured to Cazador? No, not even Sebastian could stop me from finally having the power I deserved. But you? You thought that was your place?"
You squeeze your fist, trying to think of a way to reason with him.
"Even Cazador was like you once. And you saw what he became."
"You're implying I would enslave people and cut them up for fun? After all I've been through?"
"No! I'm just saying it changes people, that kind of power consumes you."
"And who are you to choose that for me? After I've had a million choices made for me, you thought that's what I'd want?"
He stands now, walking over to finally face you.
"I trusted you, and you lied."
Tears fill his eyes again.
"I wanted this for both of us, so we could both be safe forever, and you took that from me!"
"Do you think that's what I would've wanted? To be your little pet? Sit in some grand palace while you have all the power you could ever want?"
"I'd never treat you like that, and you know that Tav."
"Yes, but a vampire lord would, and that's what you'd be. You're not some special case Astarion! You don't become a true vampire, especially from a rite like that, and still be a good person."
"I never wanted to be a good person Tav. I just wanted to be free."
You try to grab onto his hand. At first he avoids your touch.
"You are free. We're free, we can do whatever we want! I gave us that!"
He almost wraps his hand in yours, but pulls back.
"I don't know that though. I'll never truly know that. Cazador may be dead, but now all those spawns are in the Underdark. They could try to come for me, or there could be some Gur on the prowl."
"And we'll all keep you safe. I'll keep you safe my love, I swear it."
For the first time since you've entered, he stares straight at you the whole time he speaks.
"I don't know if that's enough to keep me from hating you right now."
His words stab holes in your heart.
"You don't mean that."
"Don't you tell me what I fucking mean. No one gets to control me anymore. Not you, not Cazador, no one."
"I don't want to control you!"
"What do you call taking my choice away then? You're no better than him."
You almost gasp, breath caught in your throat, stunned by the fact that he would dare compare you to that man.
"Fine. You think I'm just like him? You think I want to control you? I'll make it real easy then. It's over, you can do whatever you want and you don't have to ever take me into consideration again!"
He tries to throw more venom at you, but you leave and slam the door before he can get the words out. You don't even stop by your room to grab anything, instead you storm out of the inn, walking past all your companions without a word. Shadowheart tries to call after you, but to no avail. You're lost in the crowds almost immediately, not even sure where you're going. Just away from him. Away from the only thing you've truly loved.
