The ones that are completely opaque are because Ruaidhri saw them and went ‘especially yes.’
Tumblr media
"I'd heard that you were lovely, but in person, it would seem that you truly defy expectation, Lord Allanach. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." The angel makes a sweeping bow before Ruaidhri, effortlessly taking one soft hand in his own. His lips finding the fae's palm, if only for a few brief seconds...and when he straightens again, his lips have curled in a charming smile. "It also looks to me like we have a good bit in common, as well; I'd love to sit down and talk for a while, if you had time for it?"

I saw the gremlin asks and I’m all for that ✨
I found this on TikTok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFQ4STJM/
And it made me think of gremlin reader. Like say she has a habit of literally disappearing as soon as either someone blinks or they turn away from her for a SINGLE SECOND and when they turn back around, she’s gone~
In the red keep, it was said that there are secret passages and now the family is just terrified because they can just HEAR gremlin reader’s mischievous giggles and chuckles and the little pitter-patter of her feet cuz she’ll dump her shoes as to make less noise and they know that they are about a heart attack away from her just popping up behind them and saying something random or something along the lines of “so I found this albino cat-“
Viserys probably had his fair share of heart attacks
And Luke and Aegon are aware enough of gremlin reader doing this, so say during a feasting party, everyone turns away from reader for a second from her seat, even if she’s sitting RIGHT NEXT to Laena and Corlys who are VERY observant, POOF! She’s gone~
Cue everyone going silent and they wait with anxious breaths…. Then they hear it… the sound of pitter-pattering feet and little gremlin giggling….
Helaena is like “she’s in the walls….”
And Aegon and Luke are like “SHE’S IN THE GODDAMN WAAAALLLS-“ while trying to hightale it out of there cuz they don’t want to get spooked by her
Not the reader being the reason why the family discovers the secret passages. I am just imagining the thought of the family splitting up along with Criston to search the reader through those secret passages bumping into each other and never being able to find her. The only one who manages at times is Daemon. 
Also, the first time they heard her in the walls gave them all a heart attack. Alicent nearly screamed when hearing giggles echoing. Luke thought all this time it was a ‘ghost’ haunting him only to sigh in relief when realizing it was actually the reader. Also, Aegon panicked a few times, he denies the reader telling everyone he shrieked when he heard her greet him. 
It was Daemon's idea to keep her on a leash and everyone got angry at him (especially Viserys and Otto), saying that she’s not some dog to be pulled on. Only for Daemon to let the leash go and watch the chaos ensue. They usually leave her with Rhaenyra and Rhaenys as they are the only ones who manage to look out and catch the reader before slipping away. 
Rhaenys’ mistake was leaving her with Corlys, because the second she comes back. The reader is gone and everyone is panicking looking for her. Helaena tries telling them where she is, but no one is listening to her except for Aemond who moves away from everyone. 
But when Luke and Aegon can be heard screaming that she’s at the walls, it’s when they finally figure it out. Though when Criston goes, Aemond is there-out of breath with the reader under his grasp.

thinking of prompts . did i already send you one? anyways here is another. aether reading in the library. he has reading glasses because that’s hot as heck. someone (dew? rain? swiss?) decides to cause trouble and irritate and distract him from his reading. chaos ensues. if you wish to write smut then please go ahead . i will pretend i do not see xP
(i think pyrefection is the one to thank for aether glasses idea btw)
You haven't sent me one yet! And this is such a good one! Holy shit. Credit to @pyrefection for giving @apopticghoul and me both Aether in reading glasses brain rot. I'll stop short of the real smut, just for you, Koi.
Aether likes his quiet time in the library. Swiss knows it, everyone knows it. He spends an hour or two, curled up in one of the loveseats with a book in his hand. He always picks the loveseat in front of the biggest window, the sun casting over him as he lounges. Sometimes, Rain or Mountain will go with him, Swiss never does. Reading isn't really one of his things. But today, he's bored. Rain and Mountain are out in the greenhouse testing some new irrigation system Rain magicked up. Dew and Sunshine disappeared an hour ago to either get stoned together or cause trouble--probably both. And Cirrus and Cumulus are working on a puzzle in their room that Swiss is not allowed to touch, because the last time he tried to help he knocked the whole thing over and it took them two hours to find all the pieces. He tries to wait it out, he figures Sunny and Dew will show up eventually, and they're always fun when they're high, giggly, touchy, and pliant under his wandering hands. But they don't show up, and he's alone in the common room and he's bored out of his mind. And then he remembers, Aether. Aether's a flight of stairs and two rooms away, and Swiss can't stand sitting here alone for one more second. He pushes open the library door five minutes later. He doesn't really have a plan. Maybe Aether's book is boring. Maybe he's almost done. Maybe-- Swiss rounds the corner and Aether's in his regular spot, lounging on the plush red velour of the loveseat. And he's wearing glasses?
Swiss stands and stares, he can't stop looking. He didn't know--he's never seen--Satanas, why is that so fucking hot?
"Since when do you wear glasses?" Swiss asks, trying to tip his voice into something that sounds like laughter instead of like the air has been sucked out of his lungs.
Aether looks up at him, over the top of the glasses. Swiss can't stop looking at him. Is this a thing? Does he have a thing for this? That's weird. Admittedly, Swiss has a thing for a lot of stuff, the list is ever-growing. But glasses? On Aether? He's hopelessly attracted to Aether as a general rule. Loves the way his body feels under his hands, the way he can dig in and hold on. But this spike of arousal is new, strong. It makes something in his stomach swoop like he's a teenager falling in love for the first time. "I've always worn reading glasses," Aether says, his eyebrows raised as he watches Swiss stare at him. Swiss swallows. "Guess I've never seen you read then." "Yeah, probably not, because you don't read. You should try it sometime. You could use it." Swiss waves him off, finally jerking his body into motion. He sits next to Aether and rearranges Aether's legs so they're entwined with his. "What are you doing?" Aether asks, looking at him over the top of the glasses again, and Swiss wants to kiss him, right now. He wants to Aether to pin him to the couch and put him in his place and--shit. He absolutely has an Aether-wearing-glasses thing. "Sitting with you. You looked lonely."
"You sure that isn't you?" Swiss scoffs, leaning back against the couch. He makes to close his eyes but keeps them open a crack so he can watch Aether go back to his book. He reaches up and adjusts the glasses on his nose. "You can stay but only if you're quiet." "Yeah, yeah," Swiss agrees noncomittally, almost like he doesn't hear the words, "I'll be good." Aether casts him a look that says he doesn't believe it for a second, but he starts to read again. And Swiss tries. He tries to be good. He tries to keep his hands to himself. He tries to just watch Aether, but he only lasts fifteen minutes before that's impossible. He starts with his hand on Aether's thigh, just above the knee, innocent. But then that isn't enough either. He presses closer, slides his hand up, drags his thumb along the inside of Aether's thigh, feeling the way the flesh gives beneath his hand. Aether looks up at him sharply and he stops his ascent. But doesn't take his hand away and Aether drops his gaze back to his book. Swiss' fingers twitch. The warmth of Aether bleeds through to his palm. He wants to squeeze. He wants rip the book out of Aether's hands and shove himself between his legs and-- "You're distracting me." "Am I?" Swiss asks, he squeezes, digging in his fingers enough to earn a sigh for his efforts. Aether closes his eyes as Swiss' hand climbs higher. "Guess you should do something about it."
"You should find someone else to annoy."
Swiss grins at him, he leans in, plucking the book from Aether's hands. "Nah, why would I do that when you're right here and it's so easy."
Aether sighs. He raises his hand to take the glasses off. Swiss stops him with a hand around his wrist. "Leave them on."
Aether laughs at him, rolling his eyes as he pulls Swiss in to kiss him. "It's always something with you isn't it?" Swiss thinks about denying it, but then Aether's kissing him, opened-mouthed and needy, and Swiss can't be bothered to think about anything at all.

Hiii! I was wondering if you could do a Loki x fem reader where she's sarcastic, witty, dangerous, masterful business woman who’s the heiress of one of the largest conglomerates? She visits the tower to invite Tony, a close friend of hers, to the annual gala in the family Manor. She and her older brother (he refused taking the mantle of the company because he’d much rather live with little to no restriction, thank you very much) banter all the time, and she seems to prefer Loki’s company because she’s amused by the way he interacts with the rest, and she eventually makes a move and he agrees. All seems well till her mom who abandoned her and her brother when they were younger shows. The tension is thick in the air, but it starts to dissipate when her mom starts being nice. Until her mom asks for 50 million dollars. Chaos ensues, and the reader finally loses it. The scene going through my mind is from Dynasty where there’s a line that goes “You can shove your lying, skanking ways back into that garbage can you crawled out of” followed by “And on behalf of my too kind, too easily forgiving brother,I hereby banish you from the manor!” After the whole debacle, Loki just lets her get all of her frustration out. Instead of crying, she just manages to break a few things here and there, and Loki eventually calms her down.
fascinated by this
masterlist
Tumblr media
Loki is suspicious.
This isn’t entirely out of the ordinary; Loki tends to pass a good deal of his time by suspecting anyone and everyone who crosses him, and figuring out their truths in the meanwhile. Right now, the person currently taking up space on Loki’s radar is Tony Stark, which only adds to the fun of the whole thing.
Stark is currently afire with nerves, as judging by the fact that the guy’s gotten up to pace a frantic circle around the room three times now. He riddles with his watch, he checks his phone, then sits back down. Something is happening, Loki is sure of it.
A few minutes later, Loki’s theory is confirmed. FRIDAY pipes in over the speakers to announce that someone is in the elevator on the way up, and although the AI doesn’t say the specific name of this visitor, Loki can tell from the way Tony brightens that this must be the source of his worries.
The elevators open with a pleasant sounding ding, and Loki tosses a casual glance over his shoulder so he can figure out the identity of the person causing Tony Stark so much stress. Perhaps he should ask them for some pointers.
Loki is greeted by the sight of a woman striding briskly towards them. She seems vaguely familiar, although Loki can’t recall ever meeting her or how he would know her face. Loki can also guess how she knows Tony- she walks with the confidence that only comes when you live a fairly comfortable life, as Tony himself is apt to say.
She dresses well, too, her crisp jacket looks well made. This is another sign that she’s well off; many of the newer heirs in this city like to flock to designer brands as soon as they can, although the rich brocades only signal their inexperience. From what Loki can tell, it’s far easier to pluck a gaudy ruby from someone’s throat than pry a suit from their frame. He’s certainly tried his hand at theft to know.
Needless to say, Loki is fascinated. He’d even go so far as to label himself bewitched, although Loki typically prefers to be the one doing the bewitching. He isn’t used to getting caught up in the affairs of mortals, even though he’s technically out here living on their dying dimes. This woman is different, though. She certainly walks and talks as if she believes herself to be different, and perhaps that is where the difference lies.
Tony beams as soon as he sees her. “Y/N! To what do I owe this sudden meeting? You didn’t specify on the phone, which usually means that I’m in trouble, but you look happy. Should I be happy, too, or fear for my life?”
Y/N grins, dagger-sharp. “I’ll let you decide that for yourself. L/N Enterprises is having its annual gala in about three weeks’ time. I’d like to see you there, both as a business associate and as someone to make the small talk bearable.”
Tony looks relieved, perhaps that he doesn’t have to fear death after all. “Oh, you should have said that we’d be going to a party beforehand, I wouldn’t have gotten so worried. You know me, I’d never turn down an opportunity to wear a fancy suit and get a little too tipsy in front of news cameras if I can avoid it. Give me just one moment so I can grab Pepper and make sure we’ve got our dates straight, but I should love to be there.”
Tony excuses himself with a smile, leaving Loki alone with the woman. He takes this additional moment in between Tony’s swift departure from the conversation and the closing of the door behind him to further study the woman. Now that she’s listed the occasion for her chat with Tony, Loki realizes that he’s heard the name after all.
L/N Enterprises is one of the biggest business conglomerates in town, or perhaps across the entire globe. Typically, this would mean that she’d be neck and neck with Tony and Stark Industries to secure the title of best in show, but it isn’t the case.
Loki remembers Tony talking about being old friends with the heiress to L/N Enterprises, which is why they don’t have to hold public disputes to garner attention. He also remembers Tony talking about Y/N’s sheer ambition, how her ferocity to get ahead is hardly rivaled, no matter the type of hardy tech exec who tries to stand in her way.
Basically, she’s exactly Loki’s type. He has to get to know her, especially now that he’s been given the chance to speak to Y/N without Tony watching his back.
So, he chances a step forward, out of his chair and towards her. “You must be Y/N L/N, Tony’s friend.”
Y/N accepts this categorization with an incline of her head. “You must be Loki Odinson, the Chituari’s former ally.”
Loki winces. He’s forgotten that most mortals only have that bare assumption of him; the Avengers try not to let trade secrets out in the hands of the journalists, although that seems to be a losing battle. This means that Y/N doesn’t know about all the things Loki has done to try to seem better, how many hours he’s spent scrubbing at the blood on his hands.
However, she doesn’t seem all that affected by his poor characterization. Indeed, when Loki falters for a comeback, she just smiles again.
“Don’t worry, I’m not about to fault you for past decisions. Hell if I haven’t made a few bad ones myself. All I ask is that you send me a warning before you go off destroying cities again, because I’d prefer to have more time to reschedule meetings.”
Loki blinks. “You’re fine with me destroying New York so long as I give you advance notice?”
Y/N shrugs. “Hey, a god’s got to do what a god’s got to do, you know? Honestly, I wouldn’t mind a chance to skip a few upcoming conferences. If I give you dates and times, can you make something happen?”
Loki laughs, which stuns both himself and Y/N, although he can tell that she’s trying to hide it. “I’ll see what I can do.”
Y/N grins, and Loki’s just starting to think that he might have dealt himself a winning hand when Tony Stark comes breezing back into the room. Loki dearly wants to knife the guy so he’ll leave again, but he has a feeling that stabbing Y/N’s good friend would not win him any points, which is a shame.
Tony seems a little taken aback at the sight of Y/N and Loki talking so casually, then shrugs. “Honestly, not the most surprising friendship I’ve seen. I’m assuming you two are getting along swimmingly due to your mutual corruption of soul and spirit, and also the fact that you’re more cunning than most of the world’s population?”
Y/N tosses him a wink. “Exactly right.”
Loki accepts that this is his time to step back and let them sort out their business, although he is saddened that he can’t keep on tossing back and forth witty comments like some sort of showman.
Y/N, apparently, must be feeling something similar, because she and Tony have only been checking schedules for a few minutes before she glances back at Loki and dons a sort of half-smirk.
“Actually, Tony, can you do me a favor and include your resident god of mischief on the list of people excused from missions? I wouldn’t mind if he came as well.”
Tony looks startled. “Uh, yeah. Odinson, you want to go?”
Loki manages a calm nod, but inside his head, oh, he is radiant. Mortals don’t like including him in things; this doesn’t bother him in the slightest, Loki wants to be included in their circles even less than they want him breathing down their necks, but this is different. This is Y/N, and for some reason this makes all the difference.
The day of the gala arrives soon enough, and Loki cannot deny that he is excited. He can’t remember the last time he’s legitimately been thrilled to don formal wear and go out with the fairly well-washed masses, which must mean something. Perhaps he was more taken by this Y/N L/N than he’d like to admit, and perhaps that isn’t the worst thing of all, especially when she greets him with a delighted smile the second she sees him.
Honestly, that one moment makes the entire night worth it. Loki swore that time stopped ticking just to let them meet each other’s eyes across that crowded manor hall. He could have paused the flow of the universe himself just to treasure the slow rise of joy to her face, how it colored her entire visage into something worth celebrating. That was what he was to her, wasn’t it? Something worth celebrating. That in itself is wonderful.
Loki walks slowly towards her across the wide ballroom of the L/N manor. The room is full of debutantes and heirs, and black-suited waiters glide smoothly about it all. To him, though, it could be bare of even the modest elegant trappings. Nothing else matters except meeting her here, and soon enough, he’s raising her hand to his lips with a smile. He wouldn’t be able to forgive himself for forgetting any brand of Asgardian charm on a night like this.
Y/N beams up at him, all pretense of haughty approval forgotten. “It’s good to see you. I was worried that you wouldn’t come.”
She had worried for him. Gods, that’s marvelous. “You needn’t worry about me, love. I happen to enjoy impressing people.”
Impressing you, he means. Judging by the shine in her eyes, Loki has a feeling that Y/N knows exactly what he isn’t saying.
“Well, I’m glad you’re here, at any rate. We have these galas every year, but I haven’t looked forward to one like this in a while.”
Loki takes her hand, leading her further into the manor. “Do you host them alone?”
She nods. “I have an older brother, and technically he should be in control over the company, but he said that he’d much rather live with little to no restrictions. I can’t say I blame him.”
Loki chuckles. “You seem to be handling it rather well.”
An orchestra across the room strikes up a tune, and Loki wordlessly spins Y/N in front of him for a dance.
“I do my best,” she says, and it takes all of Loki’s focus to watch her eyes instead of letting his gaze wander over the swirls of her clothing, the shine of the lamps on her cheeks. “It can be difficult, but I’d rather let the whole damn place go bankrupt than give up.”
Loki smirks. “I can appreciate a good cutthroat companion. I’ve met few people who are like you.”
Y/N meets his gaze steadily. “I’m always happy to impress.”
Loki thinks that he would gladly sink the rest of his nights into this one gala, that he could dance with her forever under her world’s man made stars. Loki has attended many heavenly parties and festivals, yet none of them have impacted him as much as this one. He’s about to risk his standoffish charm to confess this when there’s a disturbance near the doors, something about a woman arriving without an invitation.
Loki slows his steps without realizing it, turning with the rest of the gathering to watch as an older woman bursts through the doors to the ballroom, several unhappy guards trailing after her. He has the sense to glance back at Y/N to see her reaction, so he might be the only one to notice how her entire face drops with horror.
She manages to smooth over her expression about half a second later, but the damage is done. Loki pulls her closer to him, whispering in her ear.
“Who is that? What has she done to you?”
Y/N sighs, still maintaining a calm smile as if nothing in the world could possibly affect her. Loki might even believe it, were it not for the fact that he’d seen that cool demeanor shattered just a few moments earlier.
“That would be my mother. She abandoned my brother and I when we were younger, something about how she was sick of us. I haven’t seen her face since I was small. I don’t know why she chose this moment to show up, but-”
Her voice trails off, and Loki finishes the sentence for her. “You don’t think it’s good.”
Y/N nods, albeit hesitantly, and Loki thinks he understands the tumult of emotions currently raging through her heart. Despite everything, Y/N still wants to forgive her mother, still wants to cherish that belief that perhaps the other woman is here to make amends after all. It is correct to question her, especially after Y/N’s recently garnered success, but it hurts to twist the knife in one’s own chest.
Loki squeezes her hand. “Hey, you aren’t alone in this. I’m right behind you.”
Y/N looks up at him as if truly seeing him for the first time, and nods determinedly. “Let’s go sort this out.”
She doesn’t drop his hand as they walk across the ballroom towards Y/N’s mother, which will likely cause plenty of rumors to abound in the following days, but Loki doesn’t much care.
Instead, he watches Y/N face her mother with guarded caution. “Mother. It’s good to see you.”
Her mother inclines her head. “Y/N. You look well.”
Y/N lifts her chin just slightly, as if forcing herself to stay calm. “I would like to ask why you’re here, after so many years.”
Her mother’s shoulders shake, and Loki belatedly realizes that the woman has been holding back tears this whole time. “I made a mistake, Y/N, in leaving you and your brother. I have been hating myself for it all these years. Will you forgive me?”
Y/N wavers on some invisible boundary, then nods. “This is all I wanted.”
Her mother beams, and just like that, the tension that had been creeping about everybody’s shoulders dissipates into nothingness. Conversation breaks out again over the ballroom, and everyone seems to be in high spirits once more.
Loki still isn’t sure that Y/N feels the same, though. He watches her as the night progresses, and although she seems happy on the surface, there’s something lurking behind her eyes.
It takes all the guests leaving for Loki’s point to be made. He isn’t entirely sure why he’s sticking around, perhaps because he wants more privacy for a grander goodbye, but he’s there when Y/N’s mother approaches her daughter once again.
“Listen, Y/N, I have been so pleased to see you again. I couldn’t be happier with the woman you’ve become, and I can only wish that you’ve retained that strong heart that I love so much. I know we’ve had our differences, but I hope that I can come to you in a time of need.”
Y/N nods, although the gesture is tinted with a film of wariness. “What do you need?”
Her mother’s smile tightens. “I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t have to, but I have no other choice. You have to believe me, Y/N. I just need a little bit of money. Not much, not to you. I know you have so much. Here, I brought the check, all you have to do is sign.”
Y/N’s mother retrieves a folded piece of paper from her purse and hands it to Y/N, who squints as she reads. What she sees there must be an exorbitant sum, because Y/N’s face hardens in moments, and she all but flings the paper back in her mother’s hand.
“You want 50 million dollars?”
Y/N’s voice is ice cold, and her mother flinches.
“Look, it’s not even that much. I know you’re sitting on billions, the least you could do is give some of it away. You wouldn’t even be able to use all your savings in your entire life. Come on, now. It’s the best thing to do.” Her mother pleads.
Y/N laughs, the sound bitter and jaded. “The best thing to do would have been to send you away when you first tried to show your face here. I don’t want to ever see you again. This is not your home, and it hasn’t been your home since you left. Go back to whatever place you left, keep hanging out with your liars and cheaters and thieves. I want no more of you, and neither does my brother.”
Her mother’s jaw drops. “Y/N-”
Y/N shakes her head. “Don’t you dare talk to me like that! I want you gone. Now!”
Her mother flinches, then hangs her head and retreats briskly from the manor. Only now, when the door closes again, does Y/N let her facade fall. She’s barely been keeping herself down all this time, hasn’t she? Y/N wants nothing more than to cause a scene, but she can’t afford it, not while there are still eyes watching. Right now, though, all bets are off.
Loki rushes to her before he can stop himself, pulling her to his chest. “Hey, love. It’s alright. She’s gone, and she’s not coming back. She won’t trouble you anymore, I’ll make sure of it. You don’t owe her anything, not now and not ever.”
Y/N’s shoulders shake, but she isn’t crying. In fact, she’s furious, full of a wrath unlike any Loki has ever seen before, mortal or immortal. “How could she come in here like that? How could she come into my home and act as if I should give her money after leaving us for so long?”
Loki’s hands are calm but firm, keeping her from potentially breaking anything or anyone. “She was wrong to do it, and you were right to stand up to her. You don’t need her, and you never have.”
Y/N fumes for one moment longer, then sighs, and steps away. “You didn’t have to stay for that. You didn’t have to stay for any of it.”
Loki shrugs. “I wanted to make sure you were alright.”
She cocks her head at him. “I thought you weren’t the type to care about mortals.”
Loki looks at her, and smiles. “Not usually. Some tend to exceed my expectations, and then I can’t help it.”
She looks startled, and then smiles back at him. “I’m glad to be your exception, Loki.”
He’s glad that she’s his exception, too. He can’t think of a single person who’s so like him, who he’d rather let into his heart. Loki looks at her, and is happy that he met her. At least it is him in her arms, touching her, listening to her talk. Him, and her, and no one else. That is everything.

Could you do prompt #2 with Diavolo and Lucifer?
giggled a little when i saw who this prompt would be with bcuz i can picture it so clearly in my head with Dia and Luci.
going with fem!MC since there wasn't anything specified besides the prompt! (and it’s hinted to be poly)
Prompt: “if there’s nothing going on between the two of you, you don’t mind if i ask her out, do you?“
Tumblr media
Dinner's at the castle tended to be a bit rare between the three of you quite honestly. With the way that Lucifer was so busy all the time and constantly trying to clean up after the chaos his brothers ensued, that never left all that much time for him to relax after he’d be done with paperwork. And Diavolo has his own slew of issues to look after with being next in line for the thrown after all. His responsibilities came first, and as much he liked to indulge in the shenanigans of everyone else sometimes.
That's not to say that Diavolo never tried his absolute best to gather the two of you to him. He still wanted to have time to keep an eye on his two favorite persons in The Devildom after all, and it would seem that meeting over dinner every so-and-so was the most optimal way to do it!
It’s a win-win for all, quite honestly. You get to have a nice meal and talk about the exchange program and share your escapades in great detail, and Lucifer can give his report on the latest happenings. Conversation always starts out seemingly hushed, and quite careful, as if each participant in the room needs to readjust to the feeling of being in each others company again.
Things always lighten up rather quickly once Diavolo gets to talking though; and once Lucifer has relaxed and had a cup of wine or two then he get’s a little more honest and chatty. It’s enough for him to lose his guard a bit but not enough to make him completely lose his inhibitions. 
Nonetheless, it’s always a delight when the three of you can forget the stresses of everyone and everything else.
Even Barbatos’ looming figure in the background practically fades away once MC gets to talking. And it certainly is a pleasure to hear both guests of honor laughing or to see them smile at the odd joke here and there.
So when things start to settle down a little more for the night, it’s when Diavolo decides to indulge in the idea of being more observant. He’s noticed the way you smile at him from across the table, but he’s also noticed the wistful looks Lucifer has been throwing your way every now and then; the way he’s absolutely enamored with listening to you speak. The wall he puts up with others is practically down as he sits with the two of you.
And somewhere in the back of Diavolo’s mind he can’t help but admire both of you.
Lucifer watches MC with a careful eye, and it's as he leaves his quiet musings does Diavolo catch his eye. Perhaps The Prince’s gaze is a bit too knowing in the moment; a little more than he should’ve let on, because Lucifer promptly looks away, grabbing his teacup and taking a languid sip. His face is flushed, and probably not due to his drink.
It makes something light up in Diavolo’s chest.
“Shall we call it a night?” Is what Diavolo says after a bit of consideration. “Dinner’s finished after all and it’s getting quite late is it not? I wouldn’t want to keep you two past curfew.”
“I wouldn’t mind honestly.” MC laughs lightly, brushing a few strands of her out of her face. “We could have like, a proper sleepover one day even! Just the three of us. I think that would be really fun.”
Lucifer moves his empty glass to that side, face still rather flushed. “MC, that sounds a bit...”
“It sounds like a wonderful idea actually!” Diavolo laughs. “Perhaps one day we can arrange a time.”
“A royal sleepover, huh...” MC muses. She smiles a little to herself, and with a stretch she pushes her chair out to stand. “Well, like you said we can arrange something another time. It is pretty late.”
“Don’t go just yet, MC! I’ll have Lucifer accompany you on the way back. Ah, but first please give us a moment to talk.”
“Oh.” Mc stares for a moment, eyes darting between the two of them. Whatever happens to be on her mind she doesn’t make it known though, instead smiling a little to herself. “Of course, of course. I’ll let you guys get on with it.” She excuses herself; wishing Diavolo and even Barbatos a good night, and then she makes her way towards the large entrance doors.
The two of them watch her go until she’s out of sight, quiet looks of admiration. MC was such an interesting subject after all. It’s a wonder how she’s managed to captivate the both of them in such a short amount of time.
Lucifer seems to snap out of his musings first though, turning to meet Diavolo with a little smile of his own. Diavolo likes many sides of Lucifer, but this side of him where he is a lot more open to him; it truly makes something swell in his chest.
“You sure do love watching us eat don’t you? Are you not satisfied with your own plate?” Lucifer jokes a little. The quip makes Diavolo’s smile widen. “So what is it you wanted to talk about so suddenly?” Lucifer asks, standing a bit straighter.
“Oh nothing much.” The Prince smiles. “I was curious about something, as such I wanted to ask concerning said thing.”
“Ah?” Lucifer frowns a little, unsure. What if he had another idea about a silly play or making them dress up again. He’s already gone along with so much, and there was no telling what was running through the head of someone so eccentric. ...Lucifer always indulged him anyways. “And that would be...?”
“Do you fancy, MC?” Diavolo asks outright.
It’s wonder that the others ears seem to turn even redder in the low lighting of the room. Lucifer looks away then, needing a moment to gather himself. “Why would I...” He looks back. “And why are you asking about something so...”
Even at a normal level, Diavolo's voice practically booms with laughter. “Personal?” Though his voice is much more level, considering as he turns to the other with a smile. “Sorry, sorry. It’s fun to tease you.”
The Prince gets a little closer then, looming over the other. What might seem like a show of power is as much of a show of interest. Golden eyes locking with dark red.
Lucifer doesn’t move away though, merely meeting his gaze. There’s something littered under the surface though, an emotion he can’t quite place.
“You should ask her out, if your heart desires so.”
“I... Seriously there’s nothing like that going on.”
"Hmmm.” Diavolo hums considering. “Well, if there's nothing going on between the two of you, you don't mind if I am the one to ask her out then? Do you Lucifer?" The Prince whispers. "Or would my morning star take issue with not being the center of my attention?"
For a moment Lucifer is too stunned to say anything.
They eye each other in silence for a long while. Diavolo’s smile is bright but his eyes are calculating, carefully watching as he waits for what Lucifer might say.
“You... really are too much sometimes.” Is all Lucifer can manage to weakly mutter. He seems quite flustered. “I’ll be leaving now if you didn’t need anything else. Good night, Lord Diavolo.”
Diavolo gives him a nice pat on the shoulder; quite pleased when the other doesn’t immediately move away like he would in the past. “Be safe, Lucifer!”
“Right.” And with that Lucifer hurries to make his way towards the entrance, mind still racing from the recent conversation and the fading buzz that drinking brings. If MC happens to ask if he’s feeling alright then he quickly brushes it off, nonchalant. And Diavolo listens in the distance, waits for the sound of the large doors to close shut; echoing in the empty castle. And suddenly all is silent again.
His smile falters only slightly, but he’s still optimistic nonetheless.
"Young Lord, perhaps you were too forthright in your declarations today." Barbatos gently supplies as he finally makes his way over to the table. The plates weren’t going to clear themselves after all. And there was no way such a dutiful butler would ever let the castle get infested with.... -oh he couldn’t even say it.
And Diavolo laughs, something light. "Nothing wrong with giving him a bit of motivation. I’d like for him to be happier after all."
"Do you not admire both MC and Lucifer, though?" He questions carefully.
The Prince ponders for a moment. "Perhaps I can find a way to have them both after all. Ah, please schedule another day in which I can have dinner with the two of them, Barbatos!"
"Yes M'Lord."
"Or perhaps we can arrange a day out with something more exciting. A group activity that all parties can enjoy! Maybe we can follow up on that sleepover MC suggested. Ah, let’s see..." The Prince is already off in his own head again, muttering something to himself as Barbatos neatly stacks their empty plates.
Barbatos is already getting a headache at the idea of his upcoming schedule.

Shark Week: The Tallest x F!Reader
The following is a non-profit fan-based story, Invader ZiM  is owned by Jhonen Vasquez and Nickelodeon please support the official release, I gain no profit nor do I own anything other than OCs and whatever spouts from my imagination!
----------------------------------
Summary: Red and Purple get an impromptu human reproduction lesson when they go and check on Y/n who's been hiding from them all day.
-----------------------------------------
"I'm telling you somethings wrong! Yesterday Y/n looked off."  Red stressed to Purple who was completely unbothered as he chowed on some cheezy-puffs. "Maybe she's just tired, she was probably up all night watching TV again." Purple stated this wouldn't be the first time Y/n has looked haggard after a night of movies and video games! but then again, They were still getting used to this whole courting a human thing so...
Red frowned and went to say something else, when he got a weird look on his face, he looked like he was concentrating on something, he sniffed the air his antenna wiggled around inquisitively then suddenly stood right up. "Hold on! Do you-... do you smell that?" the red eyed Irken said to his co-tallest who stopped gorging himself on snacks, and whiffed air doing the same antenna wiggles aside from the sugary treats, burnt wires, machine grease and other Irkens nothing was out of the ordinary... he blinked his face shifted to one of confusion catching the scent of something foreign but familiar, his antennas suddenly sprung up.
"Yeah... It smells like the time Y/n got a paper cut...but more bad." The tallest looked at each other worried, they dropped their snacks and rushed towards Your room, though Purple doubled back to picked up a bag of donuts and went after Red, when they arrived in the hallway just outside your room. 
The stench of blood was stronger now, they found a small group of your guards standing outside all of them looking very concerned, one of the taller guards an Irken named Deeko noticed the tallest hasty approach. "My Tallest, I was just about to call." he said with a salute.
The leaders waved him off "What's going on?/Where's Y/n?!" Red and Purple demanded over each other as the guards looked nervous. "We're not sure, liaison Y/n won't let anyone in,  when we ask what's wrong? she just tells us to leave!" Deeko explained and noted she locked everyone out of her room, Red dismissed the guards, he and Purple could handle it... at least they thought they could, Red knocked on the door.
 "Y/n are you okay?" Red asked he heard you cuss and your footsteps moving around your room. "I'm fine! I'm just... I'm getting dressed!" You said hastily while mentally kicking yourself for being so obvious that you were hiding something... 
(Usually you had time to prepare for shark week, You had supplies! but ever since moving to the Massive, the stress from leaving Earth to living in space has cause your cycle to be maladjusted, this was the first period you've had in three months.) For now you just kept your fingers crossed and hoped Red and Purple bought that excuse.
They didn't, the tallest looked at each other Red nodded Purple hacked your door, it opened and your boyfriends walked in. "Oh for fuck sak-" you were cut off by Purple and Red getting a hold of you they started smelling you; they were perplexed you didn't look hurt... but the stench of blood was everywhere, you tried to talk them into leaving. "Look guys I know your worried but..." Red suddenly pulled away and was hyper focused on your bed, Your bare bed.
 "Where are your sheets?" he asked looking around the room with Purple "Uhh..." you tried to come up with something, too late! Purple found your linens, and ruined pair of underwear balled up behind a chair, You tried to stop him, but the purple eyed Irken had already picked up your sheet saw the bloodstains and... Chaos ensued.
Cut to you stuck on the medical deck. Cranky, cramping and miserable; while being poked prodded at by tiny green men or at least they tried to, you gave them an empty threat tossing them out the airlock and had ordered your S.I.R. unit: Ede, to maim anyone who came near you, needless to say the Irken medics backed off, while Red and Purple frantically called Zim for help thinking you were dying, but the banished invader wouldn't answer his damn communicator! Red slammed his fist on the console in exasperation. 
"Zim you better answer this call or so help me!" there was static before Zim finally picked up. "Oh my Tallest! to what do I owe-" Purple cut him off jumping in front of the screen "SKIP THE PLEASANTRIES SHORTY! OUR HUMAN IS DYING!!! *Munch* HAU DOE EE FRIX HWIT??" the Purple clad leader demanded while stuffing doughnuts in his mouth as Zim looked at them startled. "....What?" Red growled and shoved Purple out of the way. "Y/n she has some kind of illness, it's making her bleed... *ahem* down there." Red stated Zim looked at them both for a moment before something clicked.
"Oh! You mean Menses?"
"You know what it is? How do you cure it?!"
"Edging closer to the sweet brink of death..." Zim said coldly leering at them Red and Purple gawked him fearfully, Zim kept the dark act up few seconds then burst out laughing at them. "Hehe...I kid, I kid! O-ho Zim's love-mate pulled the same thing when he asked...hehe" Red glowered at him. "Computer hone in on Zim's base signal and initiate It's Self-Destruction sequence on my mark.." The earthbound Irken sputtered and panicked with Skoodge and Gir running around screaming as Red started the count down. 
"Wait, ZiM will tell you everything he knows! just don't blow up my house!"
"Computer cancel Base Self-Destruct... Start talking Zim."
"When human females reach a certain age they-..." 
You were still in the medbay headphones on ignoring your aches and pains by playing your Game-slave DXI, while Ede and Deek were sitting near by playing cards and making sure none of the medical staff bothered you, when the door opened and two very flustered Tallest floated in; they noticed Deeko sitting little too close to you and gave him a heated look that could melt permafrost. 
The green eyed guard swallowed nervously and silently left the room with along with Ede which you hadn't noticed. Until you saw the door close in your peripherals, you were about to ask where they were going? and if they could get you some snacks? when a blanket along with a bag of various candies and donuts was dropped on to your lap causing you to jump a bit surprised.
You looked up and saw your boyfriends watching you intently, cocking a brow you pulled your headphones down to see what they wanted? "What this for-" Red and Purple suddenly hugged you confusing you further. "Uh guys? what up with you?" Red was first one to speak up, his face had light blush to it. "We called Zim, he told about this Menses cycle your having." Purple reached into the bag on your lap and took out a candy-bar and offering it to you. "He said chocolate helps." Needles to say you were touched these guys really care about you if they were willing to go so far as to recruit Zim's help to figure out what was wrong with you.
"It does, what else did he tell you." You asked keeping your guard up because well... it's Zim. "He said he'll send over some medicine and said to use heat if you get bad cramps..." Red gestured the blanket which you realized was a large heating pad, when you noticed the dial, "That's pretty sweet of him, remind me tell him thanks next time he calls." Both Red and Purple were still clinging to you which roused your suspicions. "Did he say anything else?" The tallest looked around to make sure everyone was busy working and looked back at you with identical smirks.
You saw Red used one of his PAK legs to interface with room control port, the windows tinted, the lights dimmed and the door locked before Purple whispered something in your ear, Your face felt like and probably looked like a stove iron, you felt Red's smirk widen as he nibbled on your neck while Purple's hands slowly move down to your hips; Zim had told them about the alternative and very fun way of helping you out with your cramps, needles to say the Medical staff avoided that part of the medbay for a while...

||The Pastas At The Beach||
this was originally like an entirely different post but ehhh this ways better!
disclaimer Im setting this like, at a beach with a boardwalk and such next too it? Public beach, small time vacationing!
and that they conviently like..pass as human
I hope you guys enjoy!! remember too check out my announcement board!
taglist: @frozensriracha @creepy-bi-day @capricornartistsstuff @krayolacolor
Jeff the Killer
Jeff doesn't really do much at the beach
The salt water irritates his skin and he burns easily, doesn't want too deal with it
Spends most of his time asleep
Hogs all the damn towels by sprawling out all over all of them
Gets sand over everything that they brought with them
Forgets how wind works and it gets everywhere
When its time for some of em too go get food, he always fucking goes
Wants too walk around and do something, and maybe not get blamed for all the fucking sand when everyone sits back down
He wears one of those like protective long sleeved shirts? and red swim trunks that are just somewhat obnoxiously bright
While getting the food he has a brilliant idea
Befriends the fucking seagulls
Lures them back too their umbrellas and just vibes with his bird army
atleast he's not alone anymore?
Ben Drowned
first off I know like he doesn't go swimming
but imagine if he did
his fucking goggles get filled up with blood
gets weird ass tan lines from the blood on his face like, when he's not swimming
has too wear the goggles when he puts on sunscreen-
ok ok thats it
fucker wears like mountain dew swim trunks
and those arm floatie things despite not going anywhere near the water
He tries too sit around Jeff but that gets boring fast-
Just walks the fuck off without telling anyone, on a journey for adventure
Will spend literal hours sitting underneath the boardwalk until someone finds him
After that they get him like one of thise beach toy kit things
Sally's nice enough too fill the bucket with water too, so they can make sand castles and stuff
She walks along the shore line with him, gets pretty shells too
Also if Ben were too go in the water
He's a fucking shark magnet with all that blood-
But don't tell him that, he won't come back too the beach
Ticci Toby
Toby is very excited too go to the beach
He didn't get out much as a kid
Siked as hell too get in the water
Drops his stuff off as soon as possible and runs right into the water
And thats when he realizes he can't fucking swim
Awkwardly flaps his arms around until a wave moves him along too back where he can stand
Everyones kinda confused when he comes back like "?? You were so excited, what happened?"
"I can't swim :(("
Cody volunteers to teach him right away, like the great brother he is
The thing is Cody is a horrible fucking teacher
Another few minutes of Toby getting owned by some waves and Cody just screaming stuff like
"Use your arms Toby- no not like that how I showed you- no I'm not going too help how are you supposed to learn-"
That's when Kate drags him back too shore and Doby and Brian teach him instead
In a bit he learns and ends up having a lot of fun
I feel like Toby would really like boogie boarding?
A lot easier then surfing but still a good time
Also they have too tie a red scarf around his arm so they don't loose his ass in a crowd, or in the water
Third Base
so far, Doby's the only one on this list who actually came prepared
I feel like he'd use one of those face lotions that has SPF 30 in it already?
Smart enough so he doesn't have too smear sun screen around his face, can just use the spray stuff and get going
Also has shoes and sunglasses too go with each like swimsuit/outfit he brings
Mans is put together
Really likes collecting shells and stuff
Walks with Sally, shows her how too find them
Wakes up kinda early as it is? So its easy for him too go too the beach early and find the shells before the tide pulls them back out
It's one of his favorite times, actually
The suns just rising, a few shops are opening, only a handful of people are on the beach
Does it everyday as his "alone time" before everyone else wakes up
Spends most of his time with everyone kinda relaxing?
I can see him really liking those beach volleyball games
Or just playing frizbee in the shallow water!
Really, really enjoys making sand castles
Builds a moat and everything so it stays up when the waves start coming closer
X-Virus
Cody, another kid who never got much beach expierence
But acts like he did
Buys one of those waterproof, phone lanyard things
Forgets too fucking close it properly
Doesn't have the first idea of what seagulls are like
"Oh come on buys its fine-" gets fucking owned for his cheesestick
Lowkey scared of them after that
Refuses too eat on the beach after that
Sits with ben under the board walk and curls around his chips
Spends most of his time in the water
Wants too see how far he can go before the lifegaurd calls him back
Finds it funny as shit too just slowly go deeper while grinning at them
Until a wave slaps him in the back of the head
And then he gets scared of the deepwater too
After he looses Swimming Coach privellages gets really fucking salty and sulks on the beach
Kate takes pity on him and walks around the boardwalk with him
But he also didn't know you have too reapply sunscreen after you go swimming
Gets really really bad sunburn
Jeff, Ben and Toby take turns slapping it whenever he gets too cocky
Masky
This is gonna be a Dad Tim one, fight me
Really has no idea what the fuck is going on, but still manages too keep everyone together?
Tells the same story, atleast twice a day, about the killer wave that almost took his shorts off
Gets in fights with seagulls whenever they get realitively close too the group
Also buys one of those crappy beach wagon things too put their stuff in
Buys a mug and cheesy beer koozie
Doesn't enjoy the beach that much but gets excited too go?
Ends up sitting down for most of the time unless he gets dragged on walks
Might just kinda walk until the water is at his knees and just kinda stand there, and nod a little
Giving mother nature his approval
He takes Sally out and holds onto her stomach, lifts her up over the waves whenever they come
Asks her what she can see, before he drops her back down
Tries it with Ben, gets kicked in the gut-
Favorite time is when it's dark and they go
Not for a long time, just a few minutes too walk along the shore before it gets dark
Hoodie
Designated photographer
Is supposed too be taking photos but mostly gets footage of the stupid shit that happens
Like Jeff not being able too figure out the dishwasher or Clockwork wrestling with her dresser where only half the drawers worked
Just kinda sits back and watches things go up in flames
He's the designated like playlist guy too? On the drive over, whenever he got bored just
"Hey what song should I play?"
And watches chaos ensue
His vacation is watching everyone else have a bad time
Makes up for it though, saves them a shit ton of money by making dinner every night.
I feel like he genuinely enjoys late nights on the beach, like Tim
Gets some beautiful photos of the water, and people taking walks that he's pretty damn proud of
Maybe once or twice he'll join Doby for a walk too get pictures of the rising sun
Likes getting small things from the gift shops
Shark teeth, maybe a cheesy snowglobe
Something silly but nice too remember the trip by
Eyeless Jack
first things first, ya know those double-lens glasses? Like you flip up the sunglass part and theres normal lenses underneath? Someone gave him those
But their are crappy eyes painted on the normal lenses
He's very confused but its just ridiculous enough for him too like
The beach isn't his favorite place, I HC him as nocturnal and most things are open during the day
He takes too the rides and crappy carnival games that are open late at night
He can't see everything super well but makes up fun things for himself
Enjoys going on rollercoasters that he has no idea what the hell the drops look like
Fucking hates bumper cars
Can't tell where everyone's coming from or when
More nerve racking then fun
Whenever they go to the beach beach he just kind of chills
Akwardly curls up on a towel because he's big as shit
Where ever they stay he walks around, uses his echo location shit too find out all its quirks
"This walls more hallow then that one- those support beams in the lobby are doing a very shitty job of keep things together"
Loves sitting out on the balcony and just smelling the salt air, listening too people laughing and the ocean waves
Just the small details a lot of people miss

hi!! me again, saw that you want some bnha requests and hoo boy do i fuckin got one for ya
im a hardcore member of the fuck bakugo 🖕🏼 squad but i also wanna fuck bakugo ya know?
therefore i would like to request a smut fic where bakugo is so painfully angry at the fact that he has a crush on the reader that he ends up getting caught stealing their panties and chaos ensues 😌
anyway love you bye ❤️
compulsion
touch-starved bakugou katsuki x f!reader
tags/warnings: nsfw, oral sex (male receiving), mild obsession, dom?reader, characters aged up
w/c: 1.9k
Tumblr media
katsuki bakugo hates a lot things.
he hates hero training, he hates his annoying classmates, and he hates the fact that it rained today. he hates living in the UA dorms and he fucking hates the overly salted bowl of ramen he was forcing down his throat right now.
bakugo katsuki hates almost everything, but he doesn’t hate you — and he hates that doesn’t.
having a distaste for the world made things easier, because if he always assumed the worse than he’d never be disappointed. he’d gotten pretty far with that logic — that was up until you waltzed into his life and fucked it all up, sending his logic hurling out the window.
when he looked at you he didn’t feel the same hate that he felt for the world around him — in fact when he looked at you he felt a disgusting urge of optimism. he liked the way your hair fell around your shoulders, the way your lips curled when you smiled, and the way your skirt rode up your thighs. he didn’t hate anything about you and that’s what he hated most.
see ya later, katsuki! you’d called to him after hero training today, your round glossy lips pronouncing his name in a way that made his heart flicker and his blood boil over. why did everything about you have to be so fucking perfect? he couldn’t find a single flaw on your annoyingly pristine body no matter how hard he searched for one.
your voice consumed his mind — everything you said to him today replaying on repeat at the center stage of his brain:
come eat lunch with us, katsuki!
hey katsuki, did you finish the math homework? number seven makes like- no fucking sense.
have you seen those chips i like, katsuki? i swear if denki ate them all again i’m gonna kill him
your voice was precious, a terribly sensual melody in his sullen ears. and the way you clung to the ends of your words for just a little too long was repulsively adorable too.
katsuki needed something, anything, to get you off his mind. sitting here and daydreaming about you was making him irate with himself — forcing intrusively irrational thoughts through his thick head. something, anything, he needed to stop thinking about you.
he tossed what was left of his shitty ramen into the trash can and exited the kitchen. the common area was filled with students right now, you included, and it was much too crowded and annoying for his liking. you were sitting with hanta, laughing at some shitty fucking joke he was spouting off.
not that he enjoyed watching that lanky scotch-tape dispenser flirt with you — but it was keeping you busy. your dorm room would be empty right now, wouldn’t it?
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆
katsuki’s not sure how he ended up here, seething with anger and digging fervently through your drawer of panties. surely you wouldn’t mind if he took just one pair, right? you have to understand that he wouldn’t be doing this if he didn’t absolutely need them. he wouldn’t be doing this if you didn’t make him so fucking angry — this is your fault, not his. 
he lifted the lacy material closer to his face for further inspection, unable to prevent his mind from wandering to how it would look wrapped around your body. fuck, they even smelled good — not that he was smelling them intentionally or anything, don't get the wrong idea. he just so happened to get close enough that the soft aroma of cherry blossom fabric softener wafted into his nostrils.
simmering with anger and foggy with unwanted lust, katsuki pocketed the panties for later and turned back towards the door — the same door that you were now standing in front of with immense confusion in your eyes. fuck. 
“uh... hey katsuki, whatcha doin?” you stepped into the room and closed the door behind you, cocking your head to the side. 
“i- uh- it’s fucking none of your business,” he snarled at you, face flushing as he tried to figure out how long you’ve been standing there and how much you saw.
“you’re in my room dude, it’s totally my business,” you raised an eyebrow at him, “and that pair of panties you took is one of my favorites, maybe you could pocket one of the uglier pairs?”
“god, fucking dumbass, this is your fault! i wouldn’t be here right now if you weren’t so fucking infuriating,” his face was so angry and flushed you could have sworn there was steam sizzling off his skin.
“me? it’s my fault you’re standing in my room with a pair of my underwear in your pocket and an obvious boner in your pants?”
katsuki grimaced, faltering for just a second as he awkwardly shifted his sweatshirt and pulled it down to cover his swollen erection, “yeah shithead, that’s what i just said. weren’t you fucking listening?”
“this is horribly desperate, katsuki, you could have just asked. i’m more than willing to help you out with this,” you stepped forward and began to shorten the distance between the two of you.
“willing to help me? are you insane? i don’t need your fucking help!” he tried to retaliate, but you were already inches from him, reaching down and dragging a hard palm over the lump in his jeans.
“quit screaming like a lunatic and let me help you, i know this is what you think about,” you pressed harder and gave him an icy stare, the boy using everything in his power not to crumble under your touch.
he’d never been touched like this by anyone, and he was so caught off guard by your sudden movements that he simply stared back at you, frozen in place. no arguments, no insults, no deflective blaming — his brain could barely compute his own name now that your hand was prodding at his bulge.
“that’s what i thought,” you cracked a small smile, “poor katsuki, always pushing everyone away and never getting any action. come sit down”.
katsuki failed to wrap his brain around the current events, wondering how his failed attempt at stealing a pair of panties had led to him sitting on the edge of your bed while you stripped him of his trousers. you were sinking to your knees now, head perfectly level with his cock that was standing flush against his abdomen.
he almost flinched when you reached out and brushed your delicate fingers over the red, swollen head of his dick. his cheeks were flushed with a deep red, and he wanted nothing more than to yell you, to tell you how much of a freak you were. but he didn’t, because as much as he hated to admit it, your touch was the best thing he’d ever felt.
your fingers were wrapped around his shaft now, pumping slow strokes as you warmed him up. he hissed and squirmed under your brand new touch — eyes squeezing shut and hands grabbing fistfuls of your comforter. katsuki had touched himself plenty of times, most of them while thinking of you, but your hand felt so much better than his ever did.
“you’ve never been touched like this, have you?” you pouted up at him, your fingers squeezing a little tighter and pumping a little faster, “poor baby”.
“i- fuck- ah,” he choked out a pitiful cluster of sounds that didn’t actually form any words but still gave you the answer to your question.
you were terribly amused, the typically angry boy was a twitching mess under your touch and you’d barely even started yet. you could only imagine how quickly he’d melt when your lips were around his cock — you were dying to find out.
you leaned forward and began slowly flicking your tongue over the puffy tip, still pumping the shaft with one of your hands. katsuki let out strings of sounds that could only be described as mewls and whimpers, his thighs shaking and his knuckles turning white. poor poor baby, you continued to think, i’m gonna make you feel better than you ever have before.
your head dipped low, the first few inches of his cock sliding across your tongue and into the back of your mouth. the blonde boy whined and bucked his hips, his eyes shooting open at the sudden burst of hot, wet pleasure.
“hng- fuck- fucking sh-shit,” his curses came out as pitiful gasps for air as he stared down at you with wide eyes.
you gradually took more and more of his length into the depths of your throat — his extensive length, by the way. for someone so blessed with such a big, pretty cock, you couldn’t believe he didn’t put it to use more often.
katsuki was cussing you out like it was his job, but each word was accompanied by a gasp or a humiliating whimper. he was so fucking embarrassed, but he felt much too good to care right now. your wet, sticky mouth was enveloping his cock in the most perfect way, jolts of euphoria spiking through his veins and fogging his head.
there was a pressure quickly building in his stomach, a tight wam feeling that signified he was going to come all too soon. but of course you expected this — honestly he’d lasted a few minutes longer than you thought he would.
when his orgasm finally racked through him, his entire body twitched and convulsed, his hips bucking wildly as strings of white liquid sprung from his cock and lined the walls of your tight throat. you milked every drop of cum from him, swallowing it down and then pulling your head back. as much as you wanted to push him and overstimulate him you decided to play nice for his first time.
“so good, katsuki. did you like that?”
his shoulders caved in and his head hung low as he finally came down from his high — the realization of all of the transpiring events finally catching up to him. he mumbled the quietest: yeah, it felt fucking good in response to your question, but refused to meet your eyes.
“we could do this more often, what you think?” you reached up and placed your hand under his chin, coaxing him to look at you.
“fuck- fine, yeah whatever, but don’t fucking tell anyone about this,” he growled, his angry eyes and twisted eyebrows finally meeting yours.
“of course,” you smiled, standing and tossing him his pants to put back on, “i just came here to grab a sweatshirt, so i better go before anyone comes looking for me. i’ll come find you later though, promise”.
and with that you were walking through the door, wiping your sticky lips on the sleeve of your sweatshirt and heading for the elevators. katsuki sat on the edge of your bed for a few minutes longer, mind blown by the curves of your mouth and the skill of your tongue.
katsuki didn’t hate you before, and he really doesn’t hate you now, but he’s coming to terms with it this time. letting his walls down for you doesn’t sound all that bad if it means you’ll keep making him feel like this.

You Get Injured Before A Show ~ Min Yoongi
Tumblr media
The pain was vicious as you laid out against the cold floor of the dressing room, your eyes continued to flutter open and closed as blurs of people rushed around you, voices raised as everyone tried to figure out what was wrong. It was as if you were forgotten, despite being the way clutching to every ounce of bravery you had to stop yourself from breaking down.
“Five minutes to stage!”
A lump made its way down your throat as you heard the call, it was impossible for you to perform in such a state, you weren’t quite sure at what point your back seized up and your body fell, but there was no chance you were in a position anymore to be able to get yourself back up.
You sighed heavily as chaos continued to ensue around you, trying your best to zone out of it, hoping someone had managed to make the call to help you, and stop worrying about what was going to happen to the broadcast with you in your current state. Eventually, your manager appeared beside you, resting her hand over yours, squeezing against it lightly.
Your eyes opened, smiling weakly across at her as she took in your appearance. She couldn’t help but frown, letting you know just how horrid the situation was becoming, not only had you jeopardised the show for the evening, your own career felt like it was currently slipping away from you.
“I’ve called him,” she whispered, a volume quiet enough so no one else could hear.
Straight away you knew who she meant, she was the only person you trusted to tell about your relationship with Yoongi, the two of you were too private to risk letting anyone else know, but your manager was someone you knew would always be there to support your decisions.
“He’ll be here soon,” she added, glancing up at the clock. “Try not to worry about anything else, we’ve already called an ambulance that shouldn’t be too long of a wait now, and then we’ll get you checked over and see what’s gone on.”
The guilt ate away at you as you began to think of what could’ve been, tonight was one of the biggest opportunities of your career thus far.
Yet, you knew you were by far in no fit state to perform. “I’m sorry if I’ve let anyone down,” you whispered, accepting the full responsibility, “what are they going to do now? I’ve put the whole show at risk of falling apart.”
“It’s nothing that they can’t fix, what matters is you,” she assured you, shushing the shouts of the staff around you, “places like this always have back up options just in case anything goes wrong.”
“Why do these sorts of things always happen to me? This was supposed to be my chance to perform live in front of such a big audience,” you huffed, fighting back the tears that threatened.
A few moments later, the creak of the door made you flinch, feeling a presence appear beside you, your eyes glanced right and saw Yoongi leaning over you, quickly taking a hold of your hand whilst your manager stepped back, giving the two of you the space that you needed.
“You shouldn’t be here, what if people see us? I’ll be fine Yoongi,” you encouraged.
His head shook, privacy meant nothing to him when you were injured, if people wanted to speak, he’d let them, but there was no way he was going to leave you on the floor at one of your lowest moments. “I’m not going anywhere; I’m going to stay right here with you.”
“It hurts,” you sighed, watching his expression softened as he looked down at your frozen body for the first time, unable to move from the pressure that your seized-up muscles applied. “Do you know how important this was supposed to be? And now I’ve gone and ruined it.”
“You’ve not ruined anything,” he comforted, brushing his thumb against the back of your hand, “everyone will understand that you’re injured, and I’m sure as soon as you’re better the show will welcome back and let you perform again. If they don’t, I’ll make sure they do.”
Your eyes rolled, but you knew he couldn’t have been more serious. If you thought Yoongi was going to sit back and watch you allow this to affect you, you were very much mistaken, all it was, was a little hurdle in you finding your feet.
“You can’t come to the hospital Yoongi, it’s too risky that people might see us. I’ll get the staff to come and keep an eye on me,” you tried to tell him once again to keep the two of you private.
His head shook, “when will you listen and understand that I’m staying right here with you?”
And he did. As the ambulance came and you were placed onto a stretcher, he never failed to leave your side. As you were led out of the building and the screams of fans were beginning to grow, his hand slipped into yours, if people saw, he didn’t care, the only thing that mattered to him right now was your safety.
He stared confidently around at the fans as you walked out into the fresh air, the sounds of cameras sent a shiver down your spine, but that didn’t stop Yoongi being there. Each attempt you made to let go of his hand, he simply held on a little bit tighter.
You could already imagine it, the headlines you’d wake up to in the morning, the threats and insults it would be impossible for you to avoid. “Just keep looking forwards, don’t pay any attention to what’s going on around you.”
“Why are you making it all sound so easy Yoongi?”
“Because it is,” he smiled, walking right beside you. “There’s something going on so much more important right now than people not finding out about our relationship, it’s not going to change anything if people do find out, I’d rather they found out and I know you’re safe.”
“What happens though once I’m better and everyone knows? How do you think they’re going to treat me then? You know what your fans are like, you warned me what it would be like and now you want them to know,” you sighed.
Yoongi’s head shook as you were first placed in the back of the ambulance, with him following behind. “You’re overthinking everything, I’ll handle it all, haven’t I said that I’ll always protect you?”
“Of course,” you smiled, turning to face him as he sat in the chair beside you. “But I should be able to protect myself, but I don’t know if I can in amongst this all.”
“If you were able to protect yourself you wouldn’t currently be in the back of an ambulance,” he teased, “but in all seriousness, there’s going to be nothing for you to worry about, I promise you.”
As much as you wanted to disagree with him, your body was exhausted, and your mind was quickly beginning to close off. Your relationship going public was something for you to worry about on another day, right now all that mattered was making sure your injury was nothing but a scare.
Your hand reached out for his, squeezing tightly against his hold. “Do you think anything bad is going to happen?”
“It might, but we’re a team, and you are the priority right now. Nothing else matters, so don’t fret, and let me take care of you.”
“Please don’t leave me at the hospital Yoongs,” you requested.
He stepped forward, pressing a kiss to your forehead, “I won’t, I’ll be there, always.”

Drain-O
Part 2
WARNINGS: Abusive ex, descriptions of abuse, violence, death, angst, language
A lil vent writing :) This is the first thing I’ve written in a very long time and a topic close to my heart! The title is irrelevant to the fic, it was just my own personal Drain-O 
1914 words 
Jason finds out you’ve been talking to an abusive ex who you’re convinced has changed. You go out with the ex and chaos ensues. There’s nice fluff at the end with Jason consoling and talking with you. This is not a light fic.
 If you or someone you know is struggling with domestic abuse, it is not a situation that you can handle alone. Please reach out to someone and find help. You deserve better. 
800.799.SAFE (7233)                                                 
https://www.thehotline.org/
I stood in front of my full length mirror, smoothing down the slight creases in the dress I’d grabbed out of the closet. I smiled softly at my reflection. It had been a while since I’d felt this nice- since I’d had something to feel nice for. I gave myself a final once over, and when I was content I turned to head toward my desk to finish the final touches on my hair and makeup. When I turned, I was a little too unsurprised to see a dark figure crouched on my windowsill. I sighed and walked toward it, undoing the latch. 
“Jaybird, you find the worst times to pester me.”
The figure slid through my now opened window with a grace that someone of his size shouldn’t be able to muster. His feet hit the ground with a soft pat and he shut my shade to give himself the privacy required to pull off his helmet. He flashed me a cocky smile and ran a hand through his hair. “It’d hardly be pestering if it was a good time for me to show up.” He pointed out, walking toward my bed and taking a comfortable seat. 
I rolled my eyes and retreated to my desk, flipping my hair into a simple messy bun. “I’m leaving soon. And you know, if you keep showing up here, someone is bound to think you live here and break in.” I gave him a pointed look and he responded with a nonchalant eye roll. 
“Fun surprise when they stumble on a woman getting ready for a-” he looked me up and down, “date?” He tried. 
I nodded. “Yeah, a date.” 
He frowned softly and stood up, walking to stand behind me and look at me through the desk mirror. “With whom?” He demanded lowly. 
It was my turn to roll my eyes. I turned around in my chair and folded my hands together, begging. “Please, papa! Please, I love him! You can’t forbid me from going out any longer!” I chided, my voice high and my lashes batting. 
He sighed. “You know why I’m asking, batbreath.” 
I sighed too and turned back around, my attention returning to my makeup. Jason had a reason to be hesitant about my going out. He’d recently discovered that my ex had been talking to me again, and foolishly, I’d let him talk me into taking me out tonight. Of course, Jay didn’t know that last bit. If he did, there’s no way he’d let me leave. My ex had been… Impolite, to say the least. Before I had been introduced to the vigilante family he’d been really good at knocking me around. Most days I’d spend my time covering black eyes and downing countless painkillers. Now was the hard question. Why was I going out with him again? 
Well, it had been a year now. I knew how to handle myself, if he thought to try something. And really, I missed him. The memories  we had together were clouded by pain, but he was the first man to love me. He held me at night. He kissed me under the stars and in the rain, he bought me flowers and bracelets, and he held my hand on the subway. I missed the way I felt carefree when he laughed. I missed the happy times. I thought, hoped, that things could change. That things would be different now. 
“Hey.” Jason nearly yelled, snapping me out of my train of thought. I nearly pierced my nose with my mascara wand. 
“What?” I snapped, turning to look up at him again. 
“I don’t want the trademark attitude right now. You don’t get to have an attitude. Who are you going out with, this is serious.”  
I sighed, defeated. “His name is Zack.” I said, sliding him a fake name. “He’s a nice guy, really!” I lied, forcing a smile. “A really good guy.” 
Jason didn’t seem convinced, but he nodded and backed away from my chair. “Okay.” He said, grabbing his helmet. “I won’t pester you anymore.” He said, spitting my earlier words back at me. He headed toward the window, slid on his helmet, and opened the shade. “You look nice, batbrain.” He finished before exiting through my window and into the darkness again. 
“Thank you.” I said to no one. 
---
“Dylan, don’t fucking touch me.” I growled, wiping the blood from my nose. I was backed into an alleyway. My blood felt like it was 90% alcohol at this point. He’d been feeding me drinks all night for this planned outburst. I’d never felt stupider in my life. 
“God, how many times have I heard you say that? At least a thousand, at this point.” Dylan laughed, stalking toward me. I realized now that I never watched him drink anything but water. Stupid. 
“You deserve this, sweetheart, after the hell you’ve put me through. It’s been impossible to bang anyone with all the bullshit you’ve spread about me.” 
I could hardly hear him. There was so much fog in my head and the pain from the blows he’d already delivered were clouding any sort of brain function I could have been riding on. Any of the training Batman had given me was out the window. 
“It wasn’t bullshit.” I slurred. I wiped my still-dripping nose again. “See?” I said, holding up blood stained fingers. “Not bullshit. You’re a psychopath.” 
He laughed again. “Oh, the attitude. How I missed the fucking attitude!” He reached into his pocket and pulled out something I couldn’t distinguish. Then, I saw the glint under the little light that the alley offered. A knife.
I backed up until I hit the wall. Was this really how I was going to die? Stupid. Stupid, stupid. 
“I’m going to really enjoy silencing that fucking attitude.” 
He walked toward me, slowly. I felt like I was suffocating. There was no way out. No one here to save me. I looked right at him. 
He didn’t seem off put. He didn’t stop, he just maintained his pace. He was about a foot away from me when a shot rang out. I watched his body soundlessly fall to the ground. My ears were ringing. I stared, open mouthed, at the pool of blood that slid out from under his head, black and thick. 
I looked up. A red helmet stared blankly at me from the rooftop. It was only then, really, that I realized I was crying. My knees gave out and I fell to the ground, my palm landing in the puddle of blood. 
Jason landed on the ground beside me moments later. He knelt down and took my hand, helping me back to my feet. “Let’s get you home.” He muttered, his tone unreadable. 
----
The sun beaming through my window woke me up gradually. My head was killing me and my pillow had small dots of blood decorating it from the times when my nose had continued bleeding throughout the night. I sat up slowly and the memories of the night before came flooding back. Jason.
I reached for my phone, but I couldn’t find it. I stood up and walked cautiously out to the living room. He was here and had presumably spent the night. He was already awake and sitting on my couch. 
“Hi.” I breathed, unable to say more than that. 
He looked up at me with dark, angry eyes. Then, surprisingly, his gaze softened. “Come sit down?” He asked. 
I nodded and sat across from him. He didn’t say anything else, but he didn’t need to. I knew what he wanted from me was an explanation. 
“I-” I started, then stopped. I was already crying again. Embarrassment was the best word for what I was feeling. “I lied to you. I don’t need to tell you that, you already know. I lied to you because… Because I knew you wouldn’t let me go. And I should’ve told you. I shouldn’t have trusted him again, Jay. I know. But… I…” I couldn’t fully articulate the way I felt. I knew that I needed to try but between the throbbing pain and the hangover burning a hole in my brain it was damn near impossible to get anything coherent out. 
Jason didn’t say anything. He wanted to let me finish, I assumed. 
“He was… I loved him. I thought that maybe he had changed because he apologized and explained things. He said he was seeing a therapist now. That he had figured out ways to help himself cope with his problems, and Jay, I mean, he was my first real love. He made me feel so carefree and so happy. The times that he hit me were… I mean they were terrible but he always worked so hard to make up for it. I thought that there was good in him. I thought that maybe we would go back to just being happy together. And with everything I learned in training I knew I could protect myself. And then he got me drinking and I thought he was drinking too but he just kept ordering me drinks and you know how I am with alcohol, I didn’t think twice about what he might have been doing to me. Jason, please-”
He held up a hand. “Don’t.” He said softly. He put his face in his hands and rubbed the bridge of his nose. “I… I’m disappointed.” He said finally. The words struck me deep in a core part of myself. “I thought you knew better.” 
I didn’t know what to say. I looked down and watched the tears from my eyes turn into dark spots on my shorts. 
“But-” he continued, “That’s how you’ve always been. Always wanting to see the best in people. Always wanting to fix what just can’t be fixed. You were clearly manipulated. He clearly fucked you so badly in the head that you really thought he loved you.” He looked up at me. 
I can’t imagine what he must see. Some dumb child sitting in front of him, crying like everything wasn’t her fault. I would have been safe if I hadn’t just walked right into his trap. I could have saved everyone the headache. I must have looked so pathetic. 
“You don’t need a lecture. You need help. You need-” I let out the sob that I’d been holding in and he sighed. “You need a friend.” He stood up and walked toward me, pulling me into his arms. “I am so sorry that you have never known real love. I’m sorry that that is what love is to you because it is so much more beautiful than kissing bruises.” 
I looked up at him and he carefully tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear and wiped away a tear that had tracked a glistening trail down my cheek. “It is so much gentler.” He whispered. I couldn’t hold his gaze so I looked back down. 
He didn’t force me to look at him. He didn’t say anything after that. I wanted to believe him, but the love he described sounded too fairytale-like to be real. Love is damaged. I wanted to argue but I knew there was no point. He saw me as damaged, and hell, maybe I was. All I could offer him was the same hollow “Thank you.” that I spoke to no one the night before.

Dusty Black Coat
Summary: Tommy Shelby is famous for his dusty black coat - it's part of his signature look. But, really, it's not just his anymore...it's his sister's as well. 
Word Count: 2765
Trigger Warnings: References to sexual assault after the third set of asterisks (***).
A/N: Hey hey hey, how are we all doing? I’m so happy to finally share this fic with you, it’s one that I’ve worked really hard on and it was one of the first ideas I had for a Peaky Blinders fic. As usual, let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy it!!
Tumblr media
Tommy and Y/N Shelby had a relationship that no one could quite make sense of. Some people argued that the siblings were too similar for their own good, and that was the reason behind their seemingly constant arguing.  
But in between all of that, there were moments of tenderness. These often occurred in complete silence, as they simply enjoyed the other's company. Amidst the hustle and bustle of a Friday night in the Garrison, Y/N could often be found with her head rested on her older brother's shoulder, sipping a gin as they watched Arthur and John's drunken antics with soft smiles on their faces. Or, if you happened to glimpse through the window of the Shelby residence on Watery Lane, you wouldn't be surprised to see the pair curled up in front of the fire, reading late at night.
Yes, it was a complicated relationship to say the least.
Then Tommy went to France, and the residents of Small Heath realised just how much Y/N loved her big brother.  Of course, she missed all of her brothers while they were away, yet it was the one that the 18-year-old spend the most time yelling at that she clearly missed the most. It wasn't tears or words that communicated it, however. It was the fact that Y/N Shelby was nearly always walking the streets wearing Tommy's long, black coat.
The seven-year gap in age between the siblings meant that it was very oversized on her body to begin with. But as the years passed and the war continued raging on, the coat grew to suit Y/N quite nicely as she moved into her twenties.
When Tommy returned home, no one knew that him and his brothers were coming back, so the family didn't have chance to prepare. In fact, the first time that he saw Y/N, after four years away fighting, she was fast asleep. Upon closer inspection, Tommy had noticed that she was clutching his coat close to her chest and frowned at Polly, who had followed him, in confusion.
"She's barely let go of it since you left," and with those words Tommy found himself mimicking the gentle smile that graced Polly's face.
Since that day, a newfound understanding was created between Tommy and Y/N. Yes, they still argued (a lot, as any member of the Shelby clan would testify), but there was also now an unbreakable bond between the siblings. No one, not even the two themselves, knew what was so different about it, as nothing really changed in their relationship. But there was something there.
Oh, and it was also as clear as day that Tommy's sweeping black coat was definitely now Y/N’s as well...
***
Y/N loved the glamour of race days, no matter what business was occurring alongside them. Getting dressed up, having a few drinks, catching up with friends that she hadn't seen in a while; yes, she adored going to the races.
Everyone usually stumbles straight into the Garrison upon the return to Small Heath, and continues the party there. Tonight, however, not everyone chose to go to the cosy pub.
Y/N knew that her work could wait until the morning, but the meeting today was crucial for the expansion process of the Shelby Company Limited, and she wanted to get it done now.  
No one had been into her office for hours, and when she had left earlier that day Y/N had neglected to close the window properly, so the cold October air had seeped into every nook and cranny of the room. She tried to concentrate on the papers in front of her, but her thin (but beautiful) dress did nothing to keep the cold at bay and she couldn't write properly with her fur shawl on. Sighing, Y/N put her pen down and made her way to Tommy's office to see if it was any warmer in there. She hated working in an office that wasn't her own, it was too distracting, but she had to decide which was the lesser evil: distraction through cold, or distraction through location. As she looked around Tommy's grand office, however, she found the perfect solution to her issue: Tommy's coat was hanging on a stand next to the door. With a triumphant smile on her face, Y/N marched back to her office with the heavy material sitting nicely on her body.
An hour later, she was still going with her paperwork, still wearing Tommy's coat, and completely oblivious to the time and anything else going on around her. So, naturally, Y/N didn't notice her brother appearing in the doorway to her office, having noticed the light glowing within the room.
"It's not like you to miss a night at the Garrison."
Y/N jumped what felt like a mile in the air, dropping her pen in the process, and placed her hand on her heart. "Jesus Christ, Tommy! I bloody hate it when you sneak up on me like that!"
A small chuckle fell from Tommy's lips as he sat down on the chair on the other side of her desk. "We had a good day today, Y/N," Tommy stated before lighting a cigarette, "We're moving up in the world." He paused, examining his younger sister thoughtfully. "And that, Y/N/N, means that you can afford to buy your own coat." Tommy's serious tone was, in Y/N's opinion, completely undermined but the glimmer of a smile that graced his face for a matter of seconds.
Y/N huffed dramatically, "It's called being resourceful, Thomas. My office was like an ice box, and your coat was just hanging there. Really, if you're that possessive over it you shouldn't leave it lying around." She raised her eyebrows and smirked at her big brother as she put her papers back into the drawer and locked it. "What are you doing here anyway?"
"I actually came here to get that so, come on, give it here"
"You can't be serious"
"I'm always serious, sweetheart."
Reluctantly, Y/N stood up, removed the warm coat and handed it over. Tommy put it on himself, before leaning over and turning out the light on her desk. "Fine, leave me to freeze to death, then you'll regret it."
"Wear something sensible next time then."
Y/N simply responded by sticking her middle finger up as she walked past him, and onto the streets of Birmingham.
(Barely two minutes into their journey, however, Tommy gave in. Hand in his pocket, he opened his arm up and Y/N cuddled into his side, his arm and half of his coat wrapped tightly around her. Suffice to say the pair felt the warmest that they had been since the war began.)
***
The damp early morning mist hung low over the grounds of Arrow House, and the sun was slowly beginning to rise in the distance. Y/N had barely slept, tossing and turning over and over again in her bed, her mind constantly replaying her argument with Tommy the night before. A rival gang had made threats towards the Shelby clan over a week ago, and Tommy had elected not to mention it to anyone. She didn't know why she was surprised, or shocked. But still, yet another row had ensued with her older brother.
As the clock on her bedside table ticked over to hit 5am, Y/N felt a desperate need to walk and think and breathe. And so, still wearing her nightgown, she made her way over to the stables, only stopping briefly to collect Tommy's heavy coat to keep her warm, not really thinking about her actions.
Y/N didn't know how long she had been in the stables. She had run a hand over all of the horses, speaking to them in hushed tones as she did so. Memories of her childhood came flooding back to her, and she was hit with a wave of sadness as she realised that the simplicity of their old life was long gone. Instead, she only had these lone moments to cherish, away from the chaos that Tommy's ambition had brought with it. Anger towards her brother hit Y/N once again, and yet she found herself hugging his coat closer to her, seeking comfort in it that everything would be okay in the end.
Thomas Shelby, she thought, humourlessly, the king of providing people with conflicting emotions; sounds about right.
She was removed from her thoughts, however, as Y/N heard her name being called out from afar. Speaking of the devil, she mused; but she decided not to alert him to her whereabouts. As Tommy's voice got nearer, she realised that she had heard him use that tone of voice once before, panic-stricken and desperate: when Charlie was taken. Guilt coursed through Y/N's body, and yet part of her felt a small amount of satisfaction. He needed to be reminded of the importance of family, something that had escaped him in the months following Grace's death, and to experience some raw emotion for once.
Moments later, Tommy crashed through the stable doors, wild eyes searching the place frantically. When they landed on his sister's figure perched on a bale of hay, he let out a breath that he didn't even know that he had been holding. Upon finding Y/N's bed empty when he woke up, and seeing the front door slightly ajar, complete, unadulterated fear had consumed his entire being. The only thought that ran through his brain was they've taken her...they've taken her...they've taken her...
And so seeing her, safe, unharmed and swathed in his coat (as she so frequently was), broke down any remaining barriers that were still left standing.
Tommy quickly gathered her into his arms, hugging her closer than ever before. Y/N was stunned – she and Tommy never hugged properly; it just wasn't their way. But, despite her anger, she melted into it, not wanting to let this moment slip away.
As Tommy pulled away, holding Y/N at arm's length to examine her for any sign of harm and finding nothing, he suddenly found himself able to speak again, though his voice hoarse from shouting: "Even when you're mad at me, you can't leave without my fucking coat, can you?" Y/N, unable to hide a small smile, slapped his arm and started to make her way up to the house, Tommy following closely behind, not wanting her to wander off alone again.
***
It was no secret that Y/N Shelby was a fiercely independent young woman (this often clashed rather badly with Tommy's desire to control, and the combination sparked many an argument between the pair). She hated people mollycoddling her, and so when she was still having nightmares a month after being sexually assaulted in a London club, Y/N didn't mention it to anyone. All she did was try to continue her work and life as normally as she could, constantly pushing her exhaustion to one side.
Of course, what she didn't bank on was the fact that Thomas fucking Shelby could read her like a fucking book. And a children's one at that.
He'd been there the night it happened: whilst Tommy had met with the club's owner, Y/N was dancing with a friend. She'd slipped off to get another drink from the bar (on the house, obviously) when one man thought he'd try his luck. Reeking of alcohol and speech slurred, he'd been incredibly...persistent...and because they were at the end of the bar on a crowded Saturday night, no one had noticed as the drunk pulled her into a back room, tearing at her dress as she tried to fight him off.
Well, let's just say that he wasn't very lucky that night – Tommy had noticed his sister's absence and somehow managed to find her before anything went any further. To this day, Y/N still didn't know how her big brother had done it, all she knew was that she'd never been so relieved to see him. She didn't really remember the journey to Ada's house, where Tommy had taken her to be looked after  while he went and hunted down the man who had dared to do this to his little sister: he had only managed to get in a few punches before turning his attention to Y/N, and it wasn't enough. The only thing that Y/N could clearly recollect was cuddling into her brother's chest as she sobbed, knowing that she was now safe. He'd buttoned his coat around her trembling figure, and to Y/N it was like he was still hugging her as he drove, the one thing keeping her grounded.
She felt the man's hands on her body every time she began to drift off to sleep. But she wouldn't tell anyone. Carrying on like everything was normal was just her way of coping with things, and she didn't want anyone to take that away from her.
It was eight o'clock at night when Y/N returned to the offices of Shelby Company Limited. She had been at the gin factory all day, checking on the progress being made there, and she was now more than ready for Tommy to take them back to Arrow House so that she could put her feet up. But, to her dismay, Tommy was still working away at his desk.
"Please don't tell me you're gonna be long, Tom?"
The man in question looked up at his sister, taking in her slumped posture and the darkness underneath her eyes. Instead of replying, he simply poured two whiskeys, grabbed his papers and sat down on the sofa in his office, gesturing for Y/N to do the same. Sighing, she removed her coat and hat and collapsed onto the space beside him, taking a large swig of the whiskey once she was comfortable.
"I'll be as quick as I can."
And with that, Tommy continued to read. Lulled by the warmth, whiskey and peace, Y/N's eyelids began to droop and (despite numerous attempts to stifle it) finally let out a long yawn. Not taking his eyes off the document in front of him, Tommy moved the remaining papers from his knee and placed them on the arm of the sofa.
"Go on," he said, in what was (for Tommy, at least) a lighter tone of voice.
Letting out a dry chuckle, Y/N looked over at her elder brother and replied: "I'm not 4 years-old anymore, Tommy, I will not -"
But before she could finish her sentence, she let out another yawn, causing Tommy to finally look away from his work to raise his eyebrows at her with a smirk.
"Fine," Y/N grumbled, "But if we're here much longer I'll just annoy you until we leave."
She slowly started to lay down onto the sofa, resting her head on Tommy's lap, and he subconsciously found himself stroking her hair with his free hand. When Y/N was much younger, this set-up wasn't unusual in the slightest, and the young woman now found herself feeling far more relaxed than she had been in months. So much so that she kept finding herself nodding off, but would shake herself awake every time, not wanting the nightmares to begin playing again.
He didn't show it, but Tommy was disheartened that his sister still wasn't going to sleep. He had hoped that the familiar position alone might be enough to send her off, as Tommy knew that he had quite a bit of reading left to do and wanted Y/N to get some rest. Tommy was more than aware that his sister hadn't been the same since that night in London, but didn't want to mention anything to her for fear that she'd bite his head off.  
The great Thomas Shelby was scared of his younger sister, who'd have believed it?
After a few moments of silent thought, he realised that the solution was simple. He reached around to grab his coat, which he had thrown over the back of the sofa, and placed it over Y/N's body like a blanket. When she looked up at him, silently posing a question, Tommy spoke to her softly.
"Get some rest, sweetheart. I won't leave you."
Tears welled up in the younger Shelby's eyes as she nodded slightly, grateful (for once) that Tommy knows her better than she knows herself. Y/N curled her knees up slightly and snuggled in to the warm, dark material. Feeling her brother's hand securely on her shoulder as he rubbed his thumb backwards and forwards over it, and inhaling the scent of whiskey, cigarettes and just Tommy, Y/N knew that nothing could get to her...and so she drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

Crepes
Warnings: none
Tags: fluff, family au, soft daddy Levi
Pairings: Levi Ackerman/ Reader, Implied Jeankasa
Summary: Levi's very energetic chaotic kids like to play with Jean and Eren from time to time
~This was requested by @clara-geekhime
"Daddy! What are you doing there?"
"I want a piggy ride!"
The piercing little screams of the jumping toddlers made Levi's head throb in utter pain. A buzzing numbness overtakes his whole being as the tries to flip the thin crepe successfully inside the hot pan. He has assigned himself to make dinner for tonight, while you're out, strolling the nearby mall with Mikasa in search of baby products for her unborn growing little human being.
With a huff that blows some dark strands away from his eyes he relaxes his tense shoulders for no more than a moment. His eyes wander back and forth in despairate need not to burn the crepe -he'd be damned of he has to make more- and all around the bright lit kitchen, where his children are currently stomping. He relaxes at the image of two of them that are patiently waiting with their tiny hands on the table, silently blowing air on each other in an attempt to play without disturbing him. And he definitely wishes the other two were as calm as them.
But of course, Kuchel and Kurt are restless. They never stop wrestling or poking their siblings sides and cheeks, screaming obnoxiously loud and jumping from tile to tile, avoiding any line successfully.
"Where's mom I want to poo." John is batting his (e/c) eyes in his in the most respectful manner a four year old could ever master, making Levi almost let out a full blown laughter.
"Can you wait for me to finish cooking or should we go to the potty now?" Levi speaks in the sweetest voice possible while looking directly at his son. The abstractly sweet voice that exits the shy boy's mouth in confirmation to his latter statement drives Levi to turn off the stove and pull the two frying pans away from any remaining heat.
"Let's go kids."
An horde of dark haired sweethearts follow his lead with tiny steps down the hallway. Soft round features are adorned with beautiful expressionisms of admiration as they stare at their father. Excited, barely noticeable movements are made that emit shuffling sounds around the room while Levi sets the white colored potty down the tile floor of the bathroom and he can't help but chuckle. It always gets to him how these little people who have came out as a product of his love with you are able to look at him with such admiration and adoration in their young eyes.
Levi sits with his back against the closed bathroom door as he waits for John to finish with his session, watching as the three other kids plan on their next malicious way to convince you and him to buy them the toys they want. It makes him want to burst into loud obnoxious laughter, the fact that they remain unbeknownst to his ability to hear them.
"You can always ask." He admits, allowing some of the laughter that has bubbled in his chest to escape. "Mom and I would be really happy to buy any toy you want as long as you are nicely behaved."
In a movement he falls down on his knees to trap Kuchel into his embrace. The little girl cooes at the sudden feeling, quick to give in to her father's affectionate side. While her feathery cheek rubs against Levi's, much like a small kitten that purrs to the touch, Levi extends his arms to ruffle his sons' hair. These casual moments of affection and happiness are really shaping him into the world's most tender person that exists.
Once he has returned to the kitchen to finish his cooking the four little Ackermans decide to all sit on the kitchen table and watch him cook their favorite crepe fillings. He manages to take their orders, very seriously, with the occasional furrow of the brow when they speak, allowing them to play along this little game of restaurant he has just started. If the kids are occupied then he'll be fine cooking.
"Daddy, didn't you say your mommy never came back one day?" John requires, eyes almost watering as he looks up. And Levi almost drops the wooden cooking spoon to the floor upon the shock he receives.
"Mommy is not coming back?"
"What? Why is mommy never coming back?"
Once Kuchel beggins with her siren like crying, John follows in turn and Levi starts panicking. Chaos ensues to its extreme as the kids start jumping on their seats, panicking, screaming at eachother not letting him finish the potatoes he's currently frying.
"Brats, how is it you miss your mother when she's not home, every single time?"
His question goes answered and he's forced to close the stove once again as he tends to pick up each small kid in his lap, sitting them down in hopes of concentrating them in a single place. And just as he does the door bell rings, sending the kids to another wave of over expresed enthusiasm.
As he runs to the door, apron still on and hair messier than he'd ever choose to present himself with, the four little kids run after him, impatiently standing behind him at the door frame. Levi looks through the peephole and with a quick love he unlocks the door to reveal Jean and Eren to his toddlers, who jump once again in delight.
"Eren! Jean!" Their thin voices say in unison when they practically fall into the men's feet.
"Hey Levi, hey you guys! Aunty Mikasa and mommy are on their way."
Levi demands that the two males wash their hands and faces before they even think about touching his children, and both of them comply with no objections. They know him, one wrong hygiene move and he'll release the cleaning freak from the depths of his existence so for the sake of their own sanity they waste no time as they go to the bathroom.
Soon enough they are sat down the coffee table in the living room, or occasionally running around each kid, lifting them up in their arms and throwing them into the air. He takes a mental note on how those boys have grown into men for all the time he's known them, with sleek defined jaws and strong arms, harsh, bored eyes that didn't resemble the ones they used to have when they were younger. And to top everything off, Jean was becoming a new father, who needed Levi's help with anything he could, not that Levi was sure why he was indeed everyone's father figure.
Levi now shifts his attention to Kuchel who's brushing some shaggy hair away from her tiny face as she's walking towards him with wobbly steps. His chest wells up from unbearable happiness, legs working without his command to meet his daughter halfway and swoon her in his arms as if she weights as much as a feather. Her giggles can ring through everyone's ears, perfectly in sync with her brothers' screams of joy at the pirate roleplay game jeans and Eren are occupying them with. It's moments like these when he feels as if he should never have had a doubt for his abilities as a parent. His own luck of paternal figures haven't stripped him off of them, but if it weren't for you to assure him it'd be alright he wouldn't have warmed up on the idea, just yet, that he's the most amazing father that exists.

More than ‘just a little tired’: the aftermath part 2
tw: lil bit of gore described, burn wounds, collapsing, lots of pain described, muscle relaxer used and effects described, slight paralysis ensues, emotionally heavy towards end.
Keith finally let’s his friends help him but his adrenaline is fading rapidly and everyone is still focused on fussing over Pidge. Lance is distraught with how cold Shiro is being, he doesn’t understand why no one is listening to him while he’s literally supporting Keith with his own body as he crashes. Hunk needs to look at something other than the blood and gore so he tries to find Coran’s magic cream and is just proud he only threw up once.
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3
“Woah, Hunk! He’s going down!”
Lance dropped to his knee as he struggled to keep Keith from falling further out of his grasp, his face now deathly pale and pressed against his shoulder as he took in large, shuddering breaths to try remain conscious.
“We’ve gotcha bud,” Hunk’s hand snaked around his waist then as Lance righted himself and they brought him back onto unsteady legs, his right not even strong enough now to put much weight on without buckling.
“C’mon we gotta go...”
With his arms slung over either boy’s shoulders and their hands hoisting his hips up by the supply pack on his utility belt, they made their way to the med bay relatively quickly, a feat of which was only possible because at some point Keith had stopped trying to keep up and allowing himself to be dragged was surprisingly a lot faster.
The whooshing of the med bay doors after what felt like an enternity was what startled Keith into opening his eyes again.
“Oh, hey guys...” Shiro said, sparing only a partial glance their way before continuing to pour over Pidge with Coran and Allura. She was awake and fighting the helping hands.
No one seemed to notice Keith’s prone form held up entirely by his friends who stood frozen in the doorway, a bit at a loss for how to proceed.
“I think I’m fine, guys! Seriously. All that’s left is already half healed and not nearly deep enough to warrant a freaking pod!”
“Maybe, but you still lost a lot of blood that will need to be repelenished...” Coran pointed, his mustache twitching as he attempted to convey the necessity of the percaution and failed.
Keith’s legs hadn’t been contributing much to the effort of keeping him standing but admittedly had some part in it because the longer they remained where they stood the more they seemed to melt into jelly.
The adrenaline had almost entirely worn off by then, leaving his body buzzing as the pain slowly intensified.
“G-guys...” Keith whispered weakly, his voice was barely audible.
“What’s—“
“Need to sit... like now...” he managed before his legs were wobbling dangerously, suddenly devoid of all the strength that remained in them.
“Alright, that’s okay. Over there, Lance,” Hunk assured, his injured leg completely useless as he transferred even more of Keith’s weight onto his hip to make up the difference while they ushered him towards one of the chairs across the room.
“Uhhhh, how much longer you guys gonna be with Pidge?” Lance questioned nervously once they’d settled Keith down, his heart clenching with fear for how grey his face had gotten, his hands never leaving his drawn up shoulders out of fear of what would happen if he did.
Hunk was already across the room tearing apart medicine cabinets for the burn cream he’d mentioned and Keith was finding it increasingly difficult to support his own body weight.
“Woah! Okkay—that’s okay, just lean against me,” Lance offered when Keith couldn’t keep himself from swaying as he narrowly avoided leaning back against the chair, nearly tilting out of it before Lance righted him and guided his head to lean against his hip.
“We’ll be done as soon as Pidge stops being difficult... why?” Shiro asked, his eyes still scanning the partially mended slash across the smaller girl’s stomach.
“Just uh, Keith is sort of not doing so well.”
Lance wasn’t entirely sure he understood why everyone was being so curt and dismissive, not tearing their eyes away from a clearly fine Pidge, who yes, at one point had been not fine at all, but was now.
And Keith wasn’t.
The blasts on his back were... bad.
Bad enough for him to be in so much pain he was forced to accept his friend’s help. Lance also figured the haunting glaze of exhaustion in his eyes and purple bruises beneath them had a good deal to do with lowering his defenses, the realization of just how tired he was sending another jab to his chest.
The material of his suit looked like it had melted into his skin, lining the edges of the puffy burns with a smokey black. Some were larger than others but there were at least a dozen and they were all bleeding steadily, the constant rise and fall of his chest making it impossible for any of them to clot.
“I’ll come check him out once—“
The burns were so deep, like little caverns carved into his skin and Lance was suddenly concerned about how zapped the nerves must be that he didn’t even realize he’d been injured this severely.
They looked so painful.
Breathing looked painful. And sitting, and talking and the way moving air brushed against them.
Shit, Keith.
“No, Shiro...”
The words came from deep in his throat, his voice low and serious, a stark derision from his usually charming vibrato.
“I think someone needs to check him out now. We’re talking about Keith here! You should know better than anyone that when he’s says he’s not okay, he means it.”
Shiro’s shoulders dropped as he straightened up, Lance couldn’t even find it in himself to worry about getting told off for his tone with how angry he was, his irritation justifying itself as he watched Keith’s breathing devolve into something more and more erratic.
The room seemed to silence all at once after he’d raised his voice. The inflection of it, shrill with fear and frustration is what got Shiro to finally look their way, his already weary expression falling further at the horror of how Keith looked against Lance. Slumped and panting, his features tight in anguish as blood dripped steadily from somewhere and collected in a now sizeable puddle on the floor.
Pidge was being forced to lay back down when surging up to see what was wrong had her keening and clutching her middle, Allura remaining at her side while Shiro and Coran raced over to the boys.
“What the fuck happened?!” Shiro demanded, his eyes grey pinpoints that bored into Lance with a sort of accusation until the two men reached the pair, both gasping simultaneously when they got close enough to take in the sight of Keith’s back.
“I don’t-I don’t understand, you said you were tired Keith!”
“Plasma blast burns... most of them 2nd degree it looks like...” Coran offered, his eyes flicking wildly as they scanned the burnt and bloody skin.
“He is tired...” Lance assured, turning his gaze back to Keith’s shaking shoulders. His trembles seemed more like spasms then, each jerk prompting a fresh gush of red from the wounds.
“He’s fucking exhausted but was too stubborn to tell anyone he was hurt...” he continued as Coran left muttering to himself in search of supplies, joining Hunk in his endeavor of locating more than just the burn cream now.
“S-sorry... really thought it was just one...” Keith explained before Shiro shushed him, crouching down to run his hand through his hair even though it was slightly damp with sweat.
His eyes weren’t open so he tensed when the hand first fell into place but soon softened under Shiro’s touch, the cold weight of the galra metal oddly comforting.
“It’s not on you, bud. I should’ve checked in more thoroughly, looked you over myself...”
Lance seethed at that, Keith was feeling guilty when Shiro was the one who had fucked up by ignoring him. He didn’t even sound sorry.
“Damn right you sh—“
“What’s that?” Shiro entreated, cutting him off and lifting his head to face the younger boy with something so fierce in his eyes that Lance had to force himself to look elsewhere.
As much as he wanted to tell Shiro how royally he’d fuck up he knew it wouldn’t be productive. Knew full well that the last thing anyone needed was more chaos.
But before Lance had to take actual precautions to contain his anger, Keith made a noise as if he wanted to respond but all that came out was a defeated whine as his chest stuttered which pulled even more at the mess of his back, sending him into a fit of flinching and hissing.
“Hey, you’re alright—“ Lance cooed, the additional hand on Keith’s neck centering him while he tried to ride out the pain without causing more “—that’s it, just take a second to calm down...”
But Keith couldn’t calm his breathing in time to avoid the waves of agony that followed such harsh breaths, eventually becoming desperate enough to clamp his lips shut and hold his breath until his heart let up with its incessant pounding.
This admittedly made the general haze clouding his mind so much worse, sending black dots dancing across the floor as he stared at it against Lance. He hadn’t realized when his hands had traveled up to clutch at Lance’s stomach but they were there now, clawing at the unwavering material stuck to his torso like glue for something to hold onto.
There were so many hands on him but he couldn’t feel much of anything other than the heat on his back and strain in his lungs as he continued to restrict his breathing. It had come to hurt so badly he was afraid to even try to breath normally again.
“-ith!”
Voices sounded so weird and distant then, like they were calling to him from across a noisy room.
“KEITH!”
It wasn’t until someone was knelt down next to him and nearly screaming in his ear that he could understand anything.
“Stop doing that, you have to take deeper breaths or you’ll pass out...”
But he couldn’t manage anything other than short and rapid inhales that weren’t nearly enough. He didn’t care if he passed out. It wouldn’t hurt so bad if he were unconscious and it had gotten to a point where he sort of wished for that kind of relief.
Coran was speaking to Shiro over them then, of which Keith had only ascertained from the way Shiro’s hand left the base of his skull to rest more on the crown of his head just as a dull and disordered humming began.
His hearing had abandoned him again once Shiro left his position, reducing the conversation to unintelligible murmurs drowned out by the rumbling in his eardrums. The static spotting his vision not letting up as the blast wounds burned relentlessly on his back. It felt like there were literal flames licking up at even the slightest movement and marring deep as the fire only seemed to spread.
The entire expanse of his upper body had gone numb with it, his arms slack at his sides and his neck weak under the weight of his head as he put all of his concentration into slowing his breathing and keeping it as controlled as possible. He didn’t even feel the hands slipping under his armpits or fingers tugging at his supply belt, only the scorching stretch of his body straightening as he was pulled to his feet.
Lance and Shiro shifted around him with care, Shiro guiding his head to rest on his shoulder when it rolled limply, Coran hovering anxiously as they struggled to lift him to his feet without jarring his injuries. In reality, it was entirely unavoidable but hey, it’s the thought that counts.
Keith really tried to hold his own weight this time, but as soon as he was upright, his back lit with a new fury that had his vision whiting. Soon he couldn’t even be certain his feet were still on the ground as his body went lax and the darkness that had been teasing him descended quicker than he could process.
He assumed he had screamed bloody murder since his stinging throat was the only pain he could pinpoint as he lost consciousness, but by then he wouldn’t have been able to hear his own voice if he spoke so he wasn’t be sure. All he knew was that he’d pitched into a slew of arms like his bones had spontaneously emulsified, blissfully unaware as to how the whole room seemed to cry out when he did.
Pidge was near tears with Allura struggling to assure her that Keith would be fine, and Hunk was so startled by the commotion that he had nearly flung the supplies he was organizing on a sterile tray.
“Let’s get him settled comfortably before he comes to,” Coran ordered, his voice sharp and anguished as he motioned towards where Hunk was stood.
Together and with considerable effort the three dragged Keith’s limp body to the other side of the room, careful to keep his torso straight and his injured leg from bending so they didn’t inflame his wounds further, depositing his lifeless weight onto the table on his stomach where all of his injuries could be tended to.
“We have to get as much of the suit off as possible... some of it will of course take a little more effort,” Coran sighed as he poked at one of the darker blast marks with a wider radius than most of the other. There was a ring of molten black around it that looked like it had dripped into the pit of missing flesh from where the material of the suit had melted off. The sentry that shot him there must have been only a few feet away.
“Alaran...” Allura gasped out as she made her way to the group once Pidge had calmed down enough to be left alone.
“These are going to need extensive cleaning before we can put him into a pod.”
“I know, Princess. Let’s get started, maybe we can get the bulk of it finished while he’s still uncioncious,” Coran postured, distributing the supplies Hunk had gathered to everyone.
The task was harrowing and had everyone slightly queasy, but the urgency to complete the process before Keith woke up prevailed everyone’s gag reflexes, even Hunk’s.
Being enveloped by the black that had teased him so long wasn’t as bad as Keith had imagined it would be. It was warm like this, more absent of cold than possesing a distinguishable heat. Pleasant. Peaceful even. A more than welcomed improvement to the inferno he was slowly being consumed by when he was awake and alert.
Sounds started coming back to him slowly as his body recovered from the shock of his plummet in blood pressure. His friends’ words sharpening gradually to where he could almost make out what they were saying.
“...suction... yes, that bit has to go as well...”
He still felt floaty and numb from the pain but knew he was laying on his front and could feel a sensation of tugging and pulling on his back.
“...keeps moving... waking up...”
It wasn’t so much painful as it was uncomfortable in his state of semi-consciousness.
“...dangerous to... sedative before a prolonged stay in the pod...”
His brain was just too fuzzy, still replenishing the blood supply to his brain.
“...looks like he’s in pain...”
Each moment he remained in limbo he grew more restless.
“...Coran I can’t... this piece... tearing the skin...”
The in and out of everything was making him anxious, he’d rather just be entirely out or entirely conscious.
“...should will help with any discomfort...”
Whatever was meant to help wasn’t. He was aware he’d probably been given some sort of drug or medicine but still he couldn’t relax.
It didn’t matter that he was utterly exhausted, his body was reacting to the anxiety bubbling in his stomach whether he had the energy to support such a reaction or not.
“...easy Keith...”
That’s the thing, he couldn’t take it easy. His mind was wired and his body was going into shock once again as things clarified and he woke up more.
“You’re alright number four... steady now, just breathe...”
If he thought it was hard to breathe before it seemed like it was absolutely impossible now.
“-us? Keith...? Keith, can you hear us?”
He could. He could hear everything now. It was all so loud and piercing, everyone’s voices, the tools clicking, his heart beating, the tear of medical supplies packages. Everything was so crisp and right there, the smallest noises sending tingles down his spine that made him want to cringe and he struggled to surpress the urge to.
“Quiznak! Coran I’m gonna hurt him if he keeps squirming!”
He was panting now, his mouth hung open against the towel folded under his face that was catching the blood still leaking from the wound under his eye. A hand came down on the back of his neck and he jumped.
That did it for the pain that seemed to have been numbed, not gone, just too far away for him to register. It was just as close as all of the sounds were now.
Hands clutched at his shoulders and forearms and hips as he wailed, pushing him flat so his flailing didn’t make it worse. He sobbed loudly and unabashedly as the pain surged its way back to the forefront of his awareness, a strange warmth similar to the one he’d felt when he had passed out taking the edge off but not staving it much.
“Keith! Listen to me, you have to relax. I know this is torture, but you’re only going to make it worse if you keep struggling,” Shiro urged, his voice the closest.
Shiro was right, but he couldn’t. He wasn’t in control of his movements anymore, because if he was he would listen. He didn’t want to hurt anymore but his body didn’t seem to give a shit.
“Coran,” Allura said sadly, her eyes looking at him with a sort of heart breaking resolution.
“Okay, Princess,” he agreed, his expression falling dejectedly.
“What-what is it? What just happened?!” Lance asked worriedly, knowing something had seemingly been decided but no idea as to what.
“We’re going to have to give him a muscle relaxer to keep him still, but it won’t take away his pain. We simply cannot risk putting him in a pod while medically sedated, we couldn’t be sure he would ever wake again if we did.”
For the second time that evening a collective silence fell over the room, one filled with such aching and regret and fear that it was as if it wasn’t silent at all.
“Do whatever you have to,” Shiro advocated, handing the tools he’d been using to Hunk.
“But he’ll be in pain Shiro?!” Lance noted desperately, his indignation back in full force.
Shiro just looked at him sadly and moved to drag a stool over to the other end of the table where Keith’s head was, his face twisted up as his sounds of pain continued.
“How can you be so heartless? It wouldn’t be so painful if Allura had partially healed him too! If you had given enough of a shit to notice sooner! To notice at all!”
The sound of Lance yelling bore into Keith’s skull sickeningly, his body unable to contain the shiver that overtook his muscles at how bone deep the sound irked his now oversentive ears.
“Lance—“
“No, Allura. He’s right, this is my fault. I was too focused on the fact that Pidge was hurt to notice that he was too and now he’s worse off because of it. I didn’t listen to him when I should’ve. Administer whatever you have to Coran, I’ll help him through this, it’s the least I can do right now...”
Coran didn’t have to be told twice, skillfully pulling liquid from a vile with a syringe that he poked gently into Keith’s neck.
Hunk nudged Lance’s arm to break his death glare at Shiro and get back to freeing one of the wider wounds on his shoulder as the medicine took affect almost immediately.
“Sh-sh-shir-Shiro...”
“I’m right here, shhhh, don’t speak. Just relax, I’ve got you,” Shiro soothed, grasping Keith’s hand tightly as he took shuddering breaths that grew more and more shallow as whatever control he had left over his body slipped away from him.
With some last few twitches he sagged completely into the table. The hand clutching Shiro’s released its grip and the older boy started to thumb assuring circles into the limp appendage since he could still feel it.
“This is gonna suck, but just focus on me okay?”
Keith couldn’t nod, couldn’t move his exhausted body at all now, so he sighed instead. The tears that had welled at his eyes falling defeatedly and mixing with the blood staining his right cheek to make a slightly pinker mess on the towel beneath him.
“Just focus on me...”

In Your Shadow
Tumblr media
sort of Javier Peña x reader, platonic!Steve Murphy x reader (she/her pronouns; no Y/N used)
Javi keeps getting the credit for work he didn’t do, and she’s pissed. Chaos ensues.
Word count: 2500+
Warnings: angst and frustration, lots of cursing, potentially horrid Spanish (I’m learning, I promise), smoking
A/N: This is based on the song Shadow by Unlike Pluto. You can find pieces of the lyrics in the dialogue. You can also find the translations of everything said in Spanish at the end! Feel free to correct me on anything; like I said, I’m learning Spanish, and I appreciate any advice. <3
Tumblr media
“... and thank you again to Agente Peña for providing this invaluable intel.” As the meeting adjourned and several individuals voiced their praise, she charged out of the briefing room and into the office, seething, death-gripping her files to her chest. Hot on her heels, Steve attempted to pacify her.
“I’m sure he didn’t mean to steal your thunder, honey. He’s just-”
“What? He’s just what, Steve? A senior agent? Running the show? A man? Tell me, what exactly justifies him getting credit for the shit I’ve worked months on?!” The files were starting to crumple in her grasp.
“Well, I don-”
“This isn’t even the first time he’s done it! He’s gotten recognition for my informants, my intel, my translations, my briefings, my goddamn livelihood!” Her voice was starting to raise in pitch and volume as tears gathered in her eyes. Steve held his hands up, trying to silently reason with her. “I can’t win, Steven! I work my ass off day and night for this fuckin’ job, only to have the rug pulled out from under me because I’m ‘not working as hard’ as holier-than-thou Javier goddamn Peña and his massive ego! I have to live under it and, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, it casts giant shadows!”
Unfortunately, the source of her rage had picked an inopportune time to waltz in. With only a second to register Steve’s panicked look, Javi might as well have wandered into the middle of a firing squad. The execution probably wouldn’t have been half as painful.
“You motherfucker!” she yelled, slamming the now torn and wrinkled papers onto her desk with a clatter. “You lying, power-hungry, manipulative bastard! You fuck every other woman you get the chance to, but you’ve decided to fuck my life instead! I’ve worked for fucking months; hundreds of hours and sleepless nights on this information, and you’ve taken all the credit! Again!”
Javi, oblivious to the full impact of this outburst, opted for the worst possible response. “Come on, sweetheart, we’re working as a team. Plus, you asked me to hand it in to Noonan. If you wanted to take credit for it so badly, you should’ve just talked to her yourself!” Steve visibly cringed and gestured for him to cut it out. Too late.
She stalked forward and, though Javi tried to back up, she had him backed into a corner. “You pompous ass! ¡Más tonto y no naces!” She’d broken out her Spanish. Oh boy. “I can’t even talk to Noonan because she always tells me to run my ideas by your incompetant ass! You cast a shadow over everything I try to do; it’s not like I can get anything worthwhile done when your massive ego’s towering over my ambitions!” She jabbed a finger into his chest, punctuating her words. “Nothing I’ve ever done here has ever mattered to the agency, because I live in your shadow and you’ve taken all of it from me! When will you move out of my way and stop treating me like a fucking doormat?!”
Javi was starting to get defensive, which was never a good sign, especially when Spanish started to get sprinkled in. “¡Oh, lo siento mucho!” he shot back sarcastically. “I wasn’t aware that all the work you get authorized by me to do was proprietary!”
“Are you fuckin’ serious?” she spat. “All you had to do was say the report was from me! It’s not proprietary, Peña, it’s my goddamn right to present the information that I spent my own money, overtime, health, and physical fucking safety to acquire! I’m sorry that I have a genuine interest in making sure this case gets handled right instead of spending my every waking moment getting my dick wet in my informants!”
A small group was starting to gather near the office, waiting to hear if Peña finally got his ass handed to him. This didn’t seem to bother either agent as they glared each other down. With Peña’s pride now on the line, no holds were barred, and he was ready to bust out personal attacks.
“Any competent agent would’ve just handed their shit in themselves, but no, you’ve gotta rely on someone else to do it for you.” He was livid; his pride had been damaged while he was riding the high of gloat and achievement, like getting laid and immediately being punched in the balls. She wasn’t letting this one go, and it was obvious he wasn’t either. “God! You’re like a cloud every time you walk in here, bitching about how little sleep you’re getting or how your work is piling up; a fuckin’ rain on my parade!” He stepped forward, crowding her, his posture more and more assertive with every word. “¡Madura de una vez! You’re an adult, a government agent, taking down a drug cartel run by Pablo fuckin’ Escobar! No one’s getting sleep, and it certainly doesn’t help when you’re whining about it! Maybe if you stopped, you’d have time to turn in your own reports and get the credit you don’t deserve!”
Escobar himself could’ve walked through the office and no one would’ve noticed. Javi’s mouth slammed shut the moment the words left, but they seemed to echo in the eerily silent office. Her shoulders sagged, and she stumbled back a few steps, trying to steady herself.
“Fuck, I-” Javi choked on his words. Her eyes were red, her cheeks stained, but her face was frighteningly level.
“Yeah, tienes razón.” Her voice was hollow, tired. “It’s always stormy lately. I guess I’m just under too much pressure; it’s driving me insane. There’s only one way to relieve it.” She slipped off her gun holster and unclipped her badge, pressing them into his chest. “I quit.” Without a second glance, she stormed out of the office.
Tumblr media
Two weeks later, her desk was cleared out, her files and informants were on a list to be redistributed to the rest of the unit, and the office was uncomfortably heavy. Javi was smoking way more than usual, everyone avoided him like the plague, Steve was bored, the case was at a standstill, and the quiet was palpable. She was no longer a colorful presence flitting around the tables, leaving a rainbow of Post-it Notes in her wake, charting cell signals, calling out for advice, chatting on the phone in Spanglish, humming quietly or bobbing her head to the radio, popping up to refill her coffee cup and offering to refill everyone else’s every couple hours, then rushing off to the bathroom when she’d had too much. She was a constant presence the unit soon realized they’d taken advantage of.
The phone on Steve’s desk rang mid-morning, and he stifled a yawn as he picked it up. “Murphy,” he grunted.
“Hey, Stevie,” came a familiar voice. “¿Qué pasa?”
He brightened. “Hey, hon.” He felt some of the tension leave him, but it was still there. “We’re fuckin’ stuck. Nothing’s happening, everyone’s lifeless, and Javi’s still moping. Eso es lo que pasa.” He could hear her breathy laugh; she was always proud when he practiced his conversational Spanish with her. She’d told him she felt it was an honor he was comfortable enough to try it out around her. “What’s up with you?”
“Ahí vamos; he estado mejor. I’m sorry you have to deal with-” she stopped and huffed, then her words became muffled. “Tengo una cita con la embajadora, huevón. ¡Estoy al teléfono!” She yelped. “¡Tócame otra vez y te rompo la nariz!” There was a brief commotion, then a thump, and suddenly, her voice became clear again. “Sorry, I’m waiting on Noonan. I’m supposed to meet with her today to finalize my paperwork.”
Steve sighed. “You’re really going through with this, huh?”
“Yeah, I guess I am.” Another voice called her name in the background, then spoke quietly for a moment. “What?! ¿Qué quiere decir ‘no está aquí’?” The voice spoke again, then there was a pause. “Okay… Si, todo bien… Está bien. Listo.” Then, back to Steve: “Noonan didn’t show. Some emergency meeting. Just great; I guess I’m rescheduling.”
“Maybe it’s fate!” Steve teased, only half joking. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Javi trudge across the office to the coffee pot, give it a long, forlorn look, then trudge back towards his desk. His eyes were heavy, his shirt rumpled, even his mustache looked sad. As he plopped down amongst towers of papers, Steve cleared his throat and made a show of nestling the handset under his chin. “Well, whatever the case, that gives me time to convince you to stay with us. Your desk looks stupid empty.” Though he was deliberately looking away, he could see Javi’s head and shoulders snap up like he’d heard a gunshot. On the other end of the line, she laughed.
“Don’t try to sweet talk me, Murphy. I’d welcome the company, though.”
“Of course!” he replied, making sure his smile was as cheesy as possible. “I’ll meet you outside in a little bit?” She agreed.
Steve busied himself with pretending to look busy for the next half hour, then announced he was going to talk to Carrillo. As soon as he turned the corner and was sure he was out of sight, he watched Javi scramble out of his seat and out the door.
Outside the building, she was sitting on a bench, her back turned. Lazy wisps of cigarette smoke danced in the wind in front of her figure, and Javi suddenly felt very insecure. He called her name, uncomfortable with the way his voice wavered. She jumped, then, after a beat, slowly turned towards him. “Come mierda, Javier.” He didn’t let her words deter him, approaching the side of the bench. She glared up at him. “No me joda. I’ll finish up in a second and leave.” He wrung his hands, feeling small under her stare.
“I’m going to sit with you,” he declared.
“Please go,” she said, softer this time. “I just wanna feel the wind one last time before I leave. Just wanna look at this shitty masterpiece of a city; really take it in.”
He ignored her plea and sat, far enough away that he didn’t feel like he was ganging up on her. They just sat, and she took long, deep drags of her cigarette. After she eventually ground the butt into the pavement, he took a deep breath.
“I’m sorry.” He left the declaration hanging in the wind for a moment, before plunging on. “I’m sorry for what I said, and what I’ve been doing to you. I’ve been a selfish asshole, and you were right to call me out on that. I’m not going to convince you to stay, because you don’t deserve to be dealing with my bullshit all the time. You’re talented and selfless and I never appreciated everything you sacrificed for us until it was gone. I just- fuck, I feel like such a piece of shit.”
“You are.” He blinked owlishly. “You’re a self-centered, impulsive manwhore with a weird mixture of self-hatred and a superiority complex. You’ve been a horrible coworker and I almost feel ashamed that I tried so hard to be your friend.” He ducked his head, trying to hide his mortification. “Almost.”
He peered back up at her, cocking his head in confusion. “That said, you’re a great agent, kind and sympathetic when you wanna be, passionate about the work we do, and, when you keep a level head, you’re fun to work with. I don’t know if I can forgive you right now for all the shit you did, but your apology goes a long way. I appreciate that.”
She took a deep breath, then stilled, staring out into the movement and noise of Medellín. He watched her for a few minutes, though it felt like hours. He watched the clenching and unclenching of her jaw, the gentle rise and fall of her chest, the flutter of her eyelashes; all the details he’d been too busy to notice. “Penny for your thoughts?”
She looked over, raising an eyebrow. “I don’t know. I’m just thinkin’ about life. What I want to do.”
“I know it doesn’t amount to much, but I’d like you to stay.”
“I can’t- I mean, I can, it’s just that- fuck, I don’t even know,” she mumbled, furrowing her brows to try to stop a tear from slipping down her cheek. “It’s just that, by all official records, I’m pretty much worthless here, y’know? All my abilities go unnoticed and it’s like I’m not even there. I know you don’t mean to stand above me, but you are, and the shadow I live under is killing me. It’s taken my job, my self worth, my… being. I can’t live like that anymore, constantly working at the precipice of death, of destruction, of failure, and the one thing I can do to help isn’t even appreciated as my own. It’s just… cold.”
Javi nodded. “After you left, I went up to Noonan and explained what’d happened; that I didn’t deserve any of the credit I’d been given.”
“Well, that’s not true! The things that you did you deserve credit for. You’re incredibly talented, Javi, just not with my intel.”
“But… you do deserve the credit I get. You deserve so much more than you‘ve ever gotten. What I said was so selfish.”
She grabbed his hand. “Javi, selfishness aside, I know you’re in a dark place. We all are. After all, we’re government agents ‘taking down a drug cartel run by Pablo fuckin’ Escobar’ and we don’t get any sleep.” She smiled at her usage of the words he’d berated her with weeks earlier. “I should’ve taken more initiative to turn in my own work; it was silly of me to put that on you. I know you’ve got your own mess going on. Plus, I said a lot of awful things right back. Most of them I meant, some of them I didn’t, but I could’ve handled it all a lot better. I’m sorry we didn’t work this out earlier.”
Javi squeezed her hand, feeling a little warm tingle in his stomach. “Me too.” He sighed, raking his other hand through his hair. “I- er, we really do need your help. You’re priceless.” She exhaled sharply, tilting her head back and forth as if weighing her options.
“Fine. I’ll talk to Noonan.” Javi’s face lit up. “But on two conditions.” He nodded. “One: I get recognition for my past and future work, and two: you promise to work with me and call on me if we have any issues. We can’t have these communication errors any longer if we’re gonna catch these bastards.” She paused, then smiled lightly. “Also, you owe me a lot of coffee.”
Just as Javi agreed, Steve came out of the building. He stopped a few paces from them, looking back and forth from Javi’s pink cheeks and goofy grin, her teary eyes, and their interlaced hands. “I’m sorry, what did I miss?”
She laughed as they pulled their hands apart and she wiped the tears away. “I’m keeping my job.”
“That’s amazing! …Peña, what did you dose her with?” Javi let out the fakest laugh he could, but smiled along with it. She sighed softly, the breeze dancing across her skin.
“All I want is to cast my own shadow.”

Tumblr media
  Opposites attract. Something everyone has heard before. It can be applied to magnets or to relationships. While there was no denying that when it came to magnetic pulls, opposites did indeed attract, but Steve was never too sure about it in a relationship sense. He had always gone after girls who fit his lifestyle. Parties, the popular crowd, the girls who fit in to societies expectations. It wasn’t until he had met Y/N that he had realized that maybe everyone was right. Just like magnets, opposites attract did apply to relationships as well. He could not think Robin enough for introducing the hard headed, sometimes (all the time) scary girl who Steve would have never approached. A goofy guy such as Steve paired with the rocker chick who intimidated nearly everyone? Steve had never thought that would be possible outside of the movies. 
 Now, here Steve sat on Dustin’s couch as he bounced his knee, the party bickering all around him as they tried to figure out what they were going to do today. “Why would we watch movie’s all day, we always watch movies, Dustin!” Lucas exclaimed from where he sat on the floor next to Max. Dustin looked up from the pile of VHS tapes he had already selected before hand. 
  “Because movies are awesome and clearly the best option right now,” Dustin answered as if it was obvious. “Nobody can agree on one place, so the logical solution is to stay here and watch a movie.” He shrugged, shuffling through the tapes once again, ignoring Lucas’ groans of protest. Steve tuned them out the best he could as he watched the front door, willing for it to open revealing the two missing members of the party. 
  “Dustin has a point, Lucas.” Max piped up, not even looking up from watching the titles of the movies Dustin was debating on. 
  “Why,” Lucas asked simply, turning his head to face her in an exaggerated fashion. “Just why,” He repeated. “Why do you think it’s better to sit here and watch movies all day as opposed to going to a bowling alley?” 
  “I’d rather watch movies than go to a bowling alley, but we are clearly forgetting the best option brought up,” Mike inserted himself into the conversation again, banging his pointer finger against the coffee table before continuing. “The Arcade. There is a huge re-opening deal and a ton of new games!” 
  “We’re not going to the Arcade, it’ll be too crowded to have fun as a group!” Dustin turned Mike’s idea down once again. 
  “And sitting in a dark living room all day watching movies will be a fun group bonding experience?” Mike snapped back, sending the three boys into a tailspin of bickering. Steve and Max both heaved out sighs at the same time just as the front door opened, Robin walking in first followed by Y/N. The two girls ceased their previous conversation, blinking at the chaos ensuing. 
  “Finally, what took you two so long?” Steve leapt from his spot on the couch, rushing over to the pair, his eyes wide with relief. Instantly, he wrapped Y/N in a tight hug. The girl tensed for a second before melting into his hug, patting his back with one had. She wasn’t much for hugs, not being an overly affectionate person in general, but she couldn’t help but to lean a bit closer to Steve whenever he was affectionate towards her.           
  “Sorry, Stevie-boy,” Robin apologized half-heartedly, plopping herself down in the spot he once occupied. “Y/N got caught up trying to decide which Stephen King book to buy and then she saw the Stephen King display they had put up.” 
  “Ended up getting Cycle of the Werewolf, it came out a few years ago, but I was too wrapped up in the release of Cujo to focus on his book releases,” She told him, not even waiting for him to ask. She pulled out of his grasp, reaching into the bag she carried to hand him the book. Steve shivered slightly, not understanding how she could read or watch Stephen King’s books without getting the slightest bit scared. “But I couldn’t pass on the great deal they had on, they had Danse Macabre for half off so they could get make room for another shipment.” She pulled the second book out of the bag, walking passed Steve who read over the back of the book he held, eyeing the words as if they would jump off the page at him. 
  “That’s great, Y/N, but we need you and Robin to help us decide what to do for the rest of the day,” Dustin interrupted the girl, earning a glare from her (which he ignored). Y/N sat on the middle cushion beside Robin who dug through her own bag to retrieve her own book: Dark Companions. “Lucas wants to go to a bowling alley-”
  “I would rather stab my eyes with rusty scissors then go to a bowling alley.” Y/N cut him off, flicking through the pages of her new book. Dustin laughed in victory as Lucas gave Dustin a warning look in return. 
  “We didn’t get to hear what Robin thought.” Lucas pointed out, hoping that Robin would be his saving grace, but his hope was quickly shot down. 
  “I’m with Y/N,” She stated, looking up from her book. “I hate those places, they are a cesspool of germs. Kids pick their noses then use their booger covered fingers to pick up a ball.” She turned her nose up at the idea. Lucas slumped back in defeat, Max sending him a sympathetic smile despite her internal happiness that she didn’t have to go to the bowling alley. Steve hid his own excitement as he sat down on the other side of Y/N, slinging his arm over her shoulders as she began to read her book. 
  “How about the Arcade, huh? You guys can watch us play awesome games and not touch anything!” Mike brought up his idea, trying to sell the girls on it. Robin shook her head instantly. 
  “Arcades are my personal hell,” Y/N grumbled, flipping the page. “Kids running around screaming and the noises from the games. It’s nauseating.” She cringed at the thought of it. 
  “So that leaves watching movies here then.” Dustin smiled brightly, showing his still missing teeth. Mike and Lucas groaned, flopping back on the floor dramatically, missing the way Y/N’s face twisted into a scowl and Robin’s nose turned up once again. 
  “Sitting here all day watching movies?” Robin asked. 
  “I would rather stuff myself into a wood-chipper.” Y/N commented once again, her eyes never lifting off her page. This prompted Lucas and Mike to shoot back up, smiling widely at Dustin’s defeat. 
  “Hey, isn’t there that band stopping by to preform a little outdoor concert, super low-key and free?” Max finally brought up the idea she had been sitting on the whole time. She knew that Robin and Y/N would have backed her up, but the boys would have shot the idea down immediately. Y/N and Robin slowly lifted their heads, intrigued by Max’s idea. 
  “So? What band would be coming to Hawkins to play a free show? Are they even worth seeing?” Mike lifted his upper lip in a grimace as he got ready to shoot the idea down. 
  “Yes, they are,” Max narrowed her eyes at the boy. “It’s a relatively new rock band, kinda like Def Leppard meets Guns N’ Roses meets AC/DC. They are playing free shows in smaller towns to build a name for themselves, all their earnings come from their merch sales.” 
  “Now that,” Y/N finally closed her book, setting it on the coffee table as she uncrossed her legs. Leaning her elbows on her knees, she clasped her hands together and pointed her pointer fingers at Max, a smirk playing on her dark painted lips. “That sounds awesome.” She unclasped her hands to high-five Max, the red-head beyond happy that her idea was chosen.             
  “It does sound really cool,” Robin nodded, sharing a look with Y/N and Max. “I’m down.” 
  “You know what,” Steve finally spoke up, bobbing his head, a goofy smile on his face as his eyes gazed at Y/N as she leaned back under his arm, looking up at him. “I’m in too. I could use a good concert.” 
  “You’re just agreeing because your girlfriend wants to go!” Mike accused, earning two glares from Y/N and Steve. He shrunk back under Y/N’s hard glare.
  “Come on, guys,” Steve encouraged. “You guys could actually like their music, you might even find a new interest or meet some new people,” He tried to sell the reluctant teen boys. They hummed, actually listening to him. “There really isn’t any harm in going.” They nodded, muttering their lack-luster agreements in choosing the concert. 
  “Forget all that mushy, positive shit,” Y/N waved her hand at Steve’s sappy selling of the concert. “Just go and live outside of your comfort zone, taint your innocent, pure souls. You will thank me later, trust me.” 
  “Are you corrupting my kids?” Steve asked her as the boys all hollered ‘yeahs’ and hopped around the room as if they were tough. Max and Robin rolled their eyes at them, but Y/N looked back up at Steve, a sparkle in her eyes. 
  “Yeah, someone had to undo all the goofiness you instilled in them - make ‘em cooler.” He smiled down at her, pressing his lips against hers softly as the boy’s continued on. The roudiness melted away as they shared a loving kiss. As their lips pulled away reluctantly, parting the sweet kiss. Steve was never more sure that they were living proof of opposites attracting.
