#but no with this supervisor if any of our numbers slip it's an instant ''tell me why this happened and make sure it doesn't happen again''

[thisurlwasnttakenbutnowitis]

My supervisor at work just made me hop on a call with her, demanding me to explain to her why I was "ignoring her messages" last night. You wanna know what time her first message came in? 5:04 PM. You wanna know what time my shift ends and I shut down my computer for the night? 5:00 PM. Now, anyone with half a brain and especially someone with readily-available access to my schedule and my clock punches could probably suss out the reason I didn't respond to those messages, hmm? And yet there I was, having to defend myself with simple facts that she could have figured out herself if she had taken one fucking second to look! Oh, and of course there was no apology from her afterwards either, because why would there be? It's not like she was wrong or anything, because oh, my status in Microsoft Teams still showed as "available" for a second when she messaged, I'm sorry. Because that never takes a few minutes to automatically update or anything. So the lesson here wasn't "maybe put in the tiniest amount of research before coming at one of your employees with instant accusations", no, it's that I need to make sure I manually set my status to offline in Microsoft Teams when I leave for the day.

I have been at my job for 5 years, and in that time, I have had 6 supervisors. I've never kept the same one for too long, and I'm hoping that trend continues because this is the first supervisor I've had that has actively made me hate my job. 🥲

More Human Than Human | dark!Bucky Barnes x Reader (Blade Runner AU)

[for @nellblazer​‘s eighties-themed challenge!  thanks for hosting babe, sorry it’s slightly late!]

warnings: smut (noncon), choking, violence/guns/fighting, degradation, general nastiness.  and less importantly, just a shitload of gifs to create ~atmosphere~

word count: 3.5k

Early in the 21st century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced robot evolution into the Nexus phase --  a being virtually identical to a human -- known as a REPLICANT.

The Nexus 6 Replicants were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them.

Replicants were used Off-world as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets.

After a bloody mutiny by a Nexus 6 combat team in an Off-world colony, Replicants were declared illegal on earth -- under penalty of death.

Special police squads -- BLADE RUNNER Units -- had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing Replicant.

This was not called execution.

This was called retirement.

“Officer Barnes.”

Bucky looked up from his instant ramen, extremely disinterested in interacting with his supervisor but aware that he didn’t have much of a choice.

“New lead on a hideout somewhere beneath the city.  One of the females from our favorite renegade crew of Off-world slaves.”

Bucky paused before responding.

“...somewhere?” he mumbled around a mouthful of noodles.

“I’ve already uploaded the coordinates to your vehicle.”

Bucky sighed quickly.  “Can I finish this first?” he asked, pointing to the noodles with his chopsticks.

“Intel’s fresh.  Let’s get there while it’s still accurate.  You know how quick they move.”

“Can’t someone else do it?”

The supervisor cracked a crooked grin, toothy and dirty.  Bucky grimaced.

“Come on,” the man suddenly became jovial, though his attempted manipulation was obvious, “you know you’re the best.  This has been a tough nut to crack, they’ve killed a lot of people and the other Blade Runners… they don’t have what you have.  They’re too green.  I need my best guy for this; I need the Winter Soldier.”

“You know I hate that name,” Bucky shook his head, “and I don’t like retiring the newer models.  They’re too… smooth.  Too real.”

“They’re not real,” the man assured, all friendliness lost from his voice as his impatience took over.  “And they’re dangerous.  Now get in the damn car and retire the bitch.”

Bucky sighed, tossing his half-finished meal into the trash and clipping his blaster back onto his belt. 

The bustling of the city was mostly muted inside the station, but once he stepped outside into the rain, he was bombarded with it all: the damp, wet air; the conversations of everyone passing by, mostly shouted into earpieces in languages he only roughly understood; the smell of exhaust, cigarette smoke, and stir fry cooking at a nearby food stall.  

He brushed past the crowds to make his way to the car lot, taking a slightly longer but less crowded route.  He was really good at ignoring things in times like this.  He ignored the noise that most would’ve found overwhelmingly loud, as well as the misty rain and humid night breeze.  

He ignored the shouts of someone in the distance as he got into the car, which turned its own engine as he scanned his badge.  The intel blinked onto the screen, informing him of the rogue units and their apparent location.  As he confirmed his route, he scrolled through the files.  The information was limited, the result of a recent hack on the LAPD’s computer system attempting to prevent exactly what he was doing now: hunting you down.

You navigated through the busy streets as you made your way back home after dinner.  You very rarely went out, fearful you would be spotted by someone important, but you had realized after months of hiding that if someone was going to find you, they would have by now.

Peddlers carried bags and baskets of ingredients-- all of them just repurposed and manufactured chemical byproducts-- past you along the sidewalk.  The food was the thing you really loved about Earth.  Off-world there was only basic, raw protein in bars.  You had only recently become aware that there was more to food than sustenance and survival, and even now you couldn’t imagine eating the same thing for every meal despite having done it your entire life. 

A lot of concepts were being introduced to you on Earth, in fact.  Earth was dirtier than your off-world accommodations.  More smoke, more dust.  After all, earth was the word for the dirt the planet was covered in.  There was no earth, no dirt, in space.  That didn’t mean it was clean, of course, but it was cleaner than this.  Now you were kicking litter to the side as you moved forward, ignoring strewn pieces of cardboard and scrap metal that gathered at the edges of buildings and roads.  

Where space had been empty and cold, Earth was alive but overwhelming.  The truth was, you realized now that beauty had come from your experiences off-world.  Not that it justified your enslavement, but you had experienced things you figured you never would again: community, for one. 

You could hear the dog barking as you opened your door, and he jumped up onto your legs in excitement.  It was impossible not to smile with this animal greeting you so excitedly; you understood now why humans liked them enough to keep creating artificial ones, although since you had found this one abandoned in the street, clearly they were manufacturing too many.

Shutting the door behind you, you grabbed the leash you kept draped with your coats, collaring the dog to take him for his last walk of the night.  As you left you glanced out your window, jumping up when you saw an LAPD car landing outside your building.  He probably wasn’t here for you, right?  You decided to take the back way out, but he was already ahead of you.  

Down the hallway you saw the figure of a man approaching you.  You could tell just by the way he walked that he was a Blade Runner, and your blood went cold.  The good thing about your model was that you blended in with humans.  You’d only gotten better at it in the past few months.  You just hoped you were good enough.

Turning and beginning to walk away, he waved you down and you froze, realizing it was too late to run.

“Is it real?” he asked as he stepped up and you turned to face him; for a second, you didn’t know what he was referring to, but then he looked down to the dog.  

You followed his gaze and laughed.  “If it was real, don’t you think I’d be living somewhere nicer than this?”

He looked at the door behind you.  “So you live here?”

You hesitated, and already he knew that you were going to tell him that you needed to be on your way.

He was a step ahead of you, flashing his badge quickly.  “LAPD business.”

“What… is the LAPD’s business with me?” you asked slowly.

“Why don’t you let me in and we’ll talk about it?” he suggested.

“I was just about to walk him--”

“It can wait,” he interrupted sternly, his expression hardening a little.  “Won’t take long, leave the dog outside.”

You nodded quickly, tying the leash to a handrail with your shaking hands; you slipped back into the apartment, shutting your door after he followed you in.

“So, officer…”

“Barnes.”

“Right.  Officer Barnes.  Would you like something to… drink?”

He shook his head, taking a seat at your dining table like he owned the place.  He motioned for you to sit across from him as if he owned you, too.  You did, because for all intents and purposes in this moment, he did.

The Blade Runner set his weapon on the table slowly.  

You swallowed dryly, looking at it before turning your gaze to the window, and the blue-green reflections of the city outside.  “It’s time for my retirement, huh?”

In the peripheral of your vision, he nodded.

“Did the others put up a fight?”

He paused before answering, like he was remembering.  Remembering the deaths of your friends.  “They tried,” he eventually said.

You looked down, taking a deep breath.  “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure, but I may not answer.”

“Why do you do this?”

“It’s my job.”

“Yes, but, you don’t have to do anything.  I was a slave.  I really did have to do everything.  You have choice; you have an entire life to live.  Why would you spend it doing this?”

He laughed a little-- not so much a laugh as a sharp exhale through his nose, like you were delusional, like your opinion was a complete waste of his time.

“Nevermind,” you scoffed, “I know why you do it.  You hate us.  You think we’re all evil.”

He shook his head.  “Machines are like anything: good or bad.  If they’re good, they’re not my problem.”

“You think I’m a machine?” you asked incredulously, nodding to his bionic arm.  He winced, like he thought you hadn’t noticed, but even a leather jacket and biker gloves couldn’t hide his dirty little secret from you.  You were a little too observant for that.

“Lost this arm to one of your kind,” he explained with a scowl.

“I lost everything to your kind,” you hissed.

He smiled a little.  “You never had anything to lose.  You never had anything.”

“And whose fault is that?”

He shrugged.  “Not mine.”

You sighed with exhaustion; humans were all the same.  They spent all their lives deflecting blame, shirking responsibility.  “My name is--”

“I know your name,” he interrupted firmly.  “N6FQB21416.”

You grimaced.  “That’s not a name, that’s a serial number.”

“I don’t really give a shit about either.  What worries me is the offenses listed in your file.”  He cleared his throat as he recalled the list.  “Launched a mutiny which killed 14 men.  Stole a ship.  Illegally trespassed into Earth’s atmosphere.  Killed 8 more people in your journey from the port to Los Angeles.  And, presumably, you killed whoever was living here and have been squatting in their apartment ever since.”

You’d found it abandoned, actually, but there really wasn’t much point in disputing his claims.

He sighed before he spoke again.  “All this over a few more months?”

You looked away, trying not to think about how much time you’d wasted seeking liberation from the built-in expiration on a replicant’s lifespan.  It was ingrained in your DNA, you couldn’t stop it.  You had been living in denial of this for quite some time now and you preferred to keep it that way.

“You’re going to die either way,” he added coldly, “so why all this violence?  All the fighting?”

“Because for now, I’m still alive.  To live is to fight.”

“I guess I can agree with that,” he replied gruffly.

With that, you made a run for the living room-- there was a gun under the couch, if you could just reach it in time--

But he was already on you, laughing at your pitiful clawing on the floor.

“Officer Barnes, please--” you begged with the last of your thin breath.

“Call me Bucky,” he instructed as his hand wrapped around your neck.

Your mouth opened to speak, to gasp for air, but it was useless.

“You weren’t a laborer, were you?” he growled, pinning you down.  “You were a pleasure unit.”

You ignored his realization, continuing to attempt to fight.  

“You’re weak,” he hissed, “I’m amazed you’re even trying.  Don’t they train the fight out of you?”

He was right.  They had.  You’d been trained back into that instinct by the Resistance, but you weren’t made to fight.  You weren’t even made to work.  Your greatest purpose had always been to simply be beautiful and stay still.

“There are probably thousands just like you, you know.  Identical in every way,” he explained coldly.  “And you think you’re more human than me?  You’re a fucking skinjob.”

“Fuck you,” you strained as his weight knocked the air out of you, your hands clawing fruitlessly for something to grab onto.

“Give into your instincts,” he encouraged as you felt his hands grabbing at the top of your leggings.  

What was actually disgusting was that you did, for a moment, relaxing into his grip before your fight renewed again.

“Get off me!  I’ll fucking kill you, I swear!” you yelped.

You couldn’t see it, but you felt the business end of his blaster press against your head.  You stilled.

“You did this for years,” he reminded you.  “What’s one more time?”

“You’re gonna retire me either way,” you hissed.  

“Maybe I’ll let you live,” he shrugged.

“You’re a Blade Runner,” you shook your head.  “All you know is killing.”

“It’s not killing,” he insisted.  “You’re a replicant.  All you know is obedience.  Stay fucking still.”

You felt his weapon slide against your head a bit as he adjusted to holding it with one hand, the other moving to his belt.  

It was humiliatingly easy to slip back into the mindless slave you’d been before.  So much work to make you a freedom fighter, and it only took less than a minute to renege on it all.

You felt what must’ve been his cock rubbing near your opening, spreading the wetness he found there.  “Fuck, you’re soaking,” he laughed mockingly.

He began to push forward and you thought he might split you in half; you cried out as he groaned with pleasure.  

You heard him sigh as he buried himself in you, not moving for a moment and just basking in the feeling.  If nothing else, you were thankful for the moment’s reprieve, but you would need a lot longer than he was likely to give if you were going to adjust to his size.

You could stop yourself from whimpering a little when he pulled nearly all the way out, the sound morphing suddenly into a yelp as he thrust forward roughly.  His fingers were digging into your shoulder hard enough to bruise-- everything he was doing, he was doing hard enough to bruise.  Did it always hurt this much?  You couldn’t remember now.

“You’re tight,” he informed you through his teeth, sounding strained.  “Almost better than the real thing.”

Tears welled in your eyes, more from his words than the pain at this point; more from being pinned to the floor than why you were pinned to the floor.  You didn’t understand the opinion of replicants as ‘fake’.  When cut, you bled.  When hurt, you cried.  Your body was as much flesh and blood as his-- moreso, in fact.  You were the real thing, at least to the touch.  You knew better than anyone that there was no soul in this body… but the body was real.  Just as weak to him as a human would be.

Each movement inside you rocked you forward; you were worried you’d get seasick as you tried to focus on the feeling of the hardwood beneath your fingers and nothing else.

You felt your body begin to truly relax and go limp, and his weight on you lessened when he realized you would submit.  “That’s it, just let go,” he encouraged quietly, moving his hands to your hips instead, pulling them up a little to push deeper into you.  “Maybe it’d feel good if you let yourself enjoy it.”

Your enjoyment had never really been much of a factor before.  You knew how to put on a show for the ones who got off on porn star moans and screams, but it was just for appearances.  Even better than that, you knew how to lay there and take it, and that seemed like plenty for today.

He leaned forward and wrapped his hand around your neck, not tightening his grip but rather simply feeling your pulse beneath his fingers.  Paradoxically, you felt your inner walls get slicker as they fluttered with pleasure.

“See?” he grinned, moving down until his breath was hot on the back of your neck.  “You can like it.”

He fucked you with more vigor then, and you moaned.

“Fuck, you like it rough, don’t you?” he asked as his tone shifted from mocking to deadly serious.  “I understand.  You’ve done it so many times that this is the only way you can feel anything.”

You snorted out a weak laugh.  “I could say the same to you.”

The metal hand, protected by his glove, shoved your face into the ground roughly as he fucked you harder than you’d known was possible.  That glove was made of leather, and that leather came from an artificial bull.  You realized that he thought of you as no better than that.  You wondered if he was right.

“Say that you love it,” he hissed into your ear, pulling your hair roughly.

“I love it,” you answered quickly.

“Say that you love me,” he added with a growl.

“I love you.”

He laughed coldly, grabbing a handful of your ass as he watched himself sink into you, your body accepting him so easily just as your mind had begun to.  “How’s it feel to get fucked by a Blade Runner, huh?”

“F-feels good,” you sobbed.  “Please, don’t stop…”

“You gonna come?  Can you even do that, do they let you?”

You could, though you almost never had.  Against everything, a pressure was building in your body that you didn’t know how to stop.

“Bucky,” you groaned, a plea for something that you couldn’t put words to.

“Go ahead, come on my cock,” he permitted flippantly.  You didn’t want to do anything he told you to, but somehow he was hitting all the most delicate places inside you.  He moved even faster, chasing his own high, just as you reached yours. 

Your nails dug into the floor as you came with a strained sob, your body quivering with white-hot shocks until your vision started to get spotty.

“Fuck,” he groaned from behind you, “you’re squeezin’ me, ‘s so tight…”

His words were lost to you; your ears were ringing, and though the height of the feeling had passed, you still felt incredibly sensitive.  He showed no signs of stopping.  You weren’t sure how much more you could take.   

“Please, s-slow down,” you begged, reaching back to try to push him back by his hips.  He grabbed your wrist and forced your arm into an awkward position behind your back.

“Don’t get greedy, doll,” he purred, the sarcastic petname making you feel a little nauseous.  “I haven’t even come yet; isn’t that what you’re for?  To make me feel good?”

You couldn’t answer as he started to choke you again, your sobs cut into silence.

“Don’t worry, ‘m close,” he grunted.  “Gonna fill up this wet little cunt.  You want it, don’t you?”

You nodded, fighting the numbness creeping into your face.

“Yeah, I know you do.  Tell me how bad you want it,” he demanded as he released his grip.

“I want it so bad, Bucky!” you yelped suddenly, voice hoarse and desperate.  “Come inside me, please--”

“Fuck!” he groaned one last time.  You could feel his cock flexing and throbbing inside you as his movements began to slow, though he didn’t come to a full stop for quite some time.  You’d never before been so sure that a man had emptied his entire load into you, but the way Bucky moaned made it undeniable.  Even when he slowly pulled out, you still felt so full.  And sore.

He sighed with relieved exhaustion, standing up and looking down at you for a second before walking to the other side of the room, finding your record player-- the record was still spinning.

He dropped the needle and smiled a little as the song came on: Sinatra.

“Wow, oldies.  Are these yours or did you just find them here?”  he asked you, turning back to face you again.

You didn’t answer, scowling at him as you tried to catch your breath.  

“You’re still worn out then.  Figured you’d be tougher.”

You turned away, pushing yourself off the floor and adjusting your clothes until you were at least mostly put back together.  

You glanced to the window but he’d already reattached his weapon to his belt, and you knew he could get it out faster than you could jump through the glass.  Not to mention the eight-story drop.  As much as you didn’t want to be a slave again, you weren’t ready to be ‘retired,’ whether it be by the Blade Runner’s blaster or your own outrageous escape plan.

When you looked at him again, he was staring at you.

“You’ll give into your obedient instincts quicker next time, I bet,” he announced suddenly.  The scary thing was that you weren’t upset by his words, just relieved, because a next time meant however many days until then that you would be spared.  “Aren’t you tired of living on the run?”

You were.  It hadn’t been so bad when it was you and your team against the world, living together in abandoned buildings and in the outskirts of the country where everything was desert and dry grass.  But then you’d split up and tried to lay low, and it was lonely.  As twisted as it was, Bucky using you reminded you of a long-forgotten purpose, ingrained deep into your mind… so deep you could never really let it go.

“Are you?” you returned his question, after a long time spent in thought.

“Yes,” he answered after an even longer pause.  “But I think you’ll help with that.”

With that, he scooped you up into his arms and began to carry you out the door.  “Somebody to come home to will be nice,” he considered wistfully, “even if it’s just for a few more months.”

Thank you for your patience! The last couple weeks were rough with final projects and exams so I’ll do my best to get back on track :)

Nalu Au. Angst. TW mentions of kidnapping, killing 

“FUCK!!!” Natsu screams and buries his face in his hands. The message was loud and clear and if they didn’t find Lucy quickly, Touka was set to kill.

Levy rushed over to console the man because she knew the situation had just turned into a worst-case scenario. “D-Don’t lose hope yet,” she does her best to keep her voice smooth even though inside she was screaming. “We’ll find her, Gajeel can track… her phone... wait a minute,” She suddenly jumps up and rushes back to her phone. “Track her phone! I can track her phone!”

Natsu looks up, “what are you taking about?!”

“A couple years ago I lost my old phone,” Levy rambled as she tapped furiously on her screen, “so, after I replaced it, we both turned on a tracker app so we could find each other’s phones in case it happened again! I never imagined it would come in so handy!”

“Are you serious!” He jumped off the couch and rushed over to the woman with hopeful intent.

Once it began, they watched the cursor on the screen pulsing as it searched for Lucy’s phone signal. Each second that ticked by was excruciatingly slow. “Come on, come on,” they chant together. The map on the screen starts to move, zeroing in, closer and closer.

“Looks like...” Levy mumbled aloud as it moved, “somewhere in Meguro... near a Meguro nursery school...”

“I know that area...”

“What?”

“That’s my hometown.”

“Okay it’s stopped moving, that must be the building.” Levy quickly screen shots the location and forwards it to Natsu’s phone. “I’ll send it to Gajeel too. If you hurry you might be able to catch a train to the closest station.”

“Thanks, Levy!” Natsu wasted no time in rushing out the door. Precious minutes were already passing by and it’ll take him at least 30 minutes by train. He called Gray to update him on the situation as he ran to the station.

“Yeah, that’s near our old high school man, I don’t get it,” Natsu tells his friend.

“Maybe it’s a coincidence?” Gray responds.

“I don’t know. That chicks been stalking me for a couple years that I know of, but something is just not settling right for me.”

“You think she knew you in high school?”

“Maybe... oh, I’m getting on the train now. I’ll call you as soon as I can.”

“Good luck Natsu and be careful!”

“I will.”

Natsu plopped down onto a seat out of breath from running as fast as he could. It was lucky for him that the train hit the station he was near in a few minutes. Maybe luck was finally on his side. According to Gajeel, the address the police had on file went back to a location in the city of Yokohama which was close by to Meguro. It was Touka’s parents home that she’d given, but according to them, the girl had left as soon as she was 18 and never contacted them again. Obviously, she’d given the address to lead them away from her current location. There were more questions than answers at this point and frustrating to everyone involved.

Was it possible that Touka had attended Meguro Nihon University high school along with he and Gray? Is that why she still lived so close to it? It wasn’t uncommon for students to attend high schools away from home if the curriculum offered was what the student was interested in. That’s why he’d chosen the school, but luckily it was still in his hometown. But no matter how much he tried, Natsu couldn’t remember ever seeing a girl that looked like Touka. She may look different now, but could it really be so drastic that he wouldn’t remember her? Then again, he hadn’t paid much attention to the opposite sex back then so it’s highly possible he’d missed her.

He received a call from Levy letting him know that after further digging, Gajeel was able to narrow down the apartment number and building address, confirming what the tracking site already told them. The phone number they had on file for Touka was also turned off, so they couldn’t reach her, but did confirm the Instagram post along with the previous incident will be used as probable cause to search the woman’s apartment. The wheels of justice were slow, but at least it was finally moving. If only they’d taken the couples concerns more seriously, Touka may not have had an opportunity to kidnap Lucy. Gajeel is pushing his supervisors to move quickly under the circumstances, but in order to make sure the charges stick, everything needed to be done by the book. The warrant was being signed as they spoke and Natsu was warned to be careful. If he located the right place, to not go in unless he felt Lucy’s life was in imminent peril, because no one knew what Touka was capable of.

No average citizen could plan for situations like, and Natsu certainly had no experience to help him figure out what to do or not to do. Should he wait for the police to arrive? Should he just barge in? What if he does and it only makes things worse? If Touka was in love with him, would she attack him too? It was certainly a possibility. Nobody can fully understand what a person is willing to do when their mind is crazed, and such uncertainties are the most dangerous of situations.

It felt so uncomfortable being back on his home turf under these circumstances. Definitely not the homecoming he’d wish upon anyone. There were six blocks from the station to the apartment building, so in order to get there quicker Natsu hailed a taxi. As he stared out the window, eyes narrowed, calculating, seeing all the familiar landmarks, again his anger built up. How dare Touka stain his memories of Meguro like this! A convenience store they’d shop at, the nursery school his little sister attended, or the high school he loved so much... He’ll never be able to come home again without remembering this is also where Lucy had been kidnapped and brought to.

The streets were empty, silent and still if not for the occasional car passing through. Amber streetlights illuminated the way. Natsu has the taxi drop him off around the corner from the apartment building, just in case Touka was watching for them. The woman had to assume that her actions would bring consequences. As he gets closer, Natsu assesses the three-story building. It was nondescript and open with no visible security gates or guards, just a single stairwell leading to the upper floors. According to Gajeel, Touka’s apartment was number 206 on the second floor. So, he slips cautiously along the building’s exterior to hide his presence as best as he could and ascends the staircase, soft steps to negate any sounds from his shoes. Number 206 was the last apartment on the second floor which meant he had to pass by five others. These poor people had no idea what was going on right beside them.

Natsu gently leans up to Touka’s front door, pressing his ear against the solid wood to listen for any evidence that Lucy was indeed inside. He could hear light sobbing between a low and somewhat muffled conversation. Ugh! He couldn’t tell who the voices were coming from! No— wait... okay it is Lucy inside! Natsu quickly typed out a text to Levy confirming the woman was alive and the address was on point, to which Levy responded with Gajeel was on the way with a warrant.

But the longer Natsu listened, the louder the voices inside were becoming, angrier and growing desperate...

“No! Please don’t kill me!!!”

His eyes widen instantaneously like a shot of instant adrenaline. That was Lucy! And the panic her voice screamed immediate. Without a moment of hesitation or thought, Natsu grabbed the door handle. Fuck! It was locked! He takes a step back and front-kicked the door as hard as he could, once, twice in quick succession around the locks. After the second hit, the door starts to give way, so he hauled back and gave it a third, then a shoulder. He didn’t care if he broke a bone or dislocated his shoulder because all he could think about was getting in there right now! With a final roar, Natsu slammed his body into the door. Wood goes flying as the frame gives way and the door swings open, the momentum causing him to stumble forward onto his knees.

“Nat—.”

Lucy’s scream is cut short and as Natsu looked up, he sees Touka standing behind Lucy with one arm around her body and a knife being held to her throat. Lucy’s hands and ankles were bound in front of her, shaking and fists clenching in a panicked agitation. All the blood drained from his face. One wrong move and Lucy was dead.

“T-Touka...” Natsu scrambled to his feet and put his hands up. “Just stay calm. D-Don’t do anything you’ll regret.”

From Out of the Shadows | Magpie to the Morning (2013 version)//Neko Case

“Come on sorrow, take your own advice. Thundering and lightening gets you rain. You’re on a top-secret mission, a Cousteau expedition to find a diamond at the bottom of the drain.”

The umbralis bows her head. “I’ve never let myself think about any other life. I’m so lucky to have what I do. I…luck runs out, one day.” Bolt pats a few stray hairs into place, and she raises her chin in response to the guiding touch. “I want to do my duty. But I think that…that maybe it shouldn’t be my duty to die. Not even for her will, or for–or for–” Her hand covers the silver moon badge beside her factory insignia, as if it were a bullet wound. “I want to come back someday. I suppose I don’t really know when.”

The braid released, she turns to face Bolt’s voice as she replies, “If you want my advice, well–I’d say come when you’re ready, but nobody’s ever ready.” She sits still a moment, her gaze aside, before she meets the unit’s unveiled eyes again. “Come the first time they break your heart. It will happen. And you’ll know.” 

Playing Telephone | The Station - Oneohtrixpointnever

“Oh the whole station’s gonna burn down. Oh the whole station’s gonna burn down. Oh the whole station’s gonna burn down. Oh the whole station’s gonna burn down.”

She drew the glass under her veils to cup it to her light, closing her eyes to wait for the telltale, just-audible sizzle. In this miniature atrium of silence she could steal one thought fully formed.

Maybe these people were the sum of their loyalty, their diligence, their patience and attention and above all their willingness to work, just as the teachers who’d done her factory program had claimed she was. But they were also the sum of their habitation, transportation, education, and elocution--the sum of their building crews, their hospitals and libraries, and the fuel in their ships and the air in their cabins. 

She placed the heated glass in the far stem of the vaporizer and turned it, with practiced grace, to inhale the first hot whiff of steam, sparing the guests its bite, covering the mouthpiece with her fingertip as she moved again to offer it to them.

She was the sum of a door, a vase, a sofa, a safe, a wall clock, a stand for parasols, and a row of green-windowed doors. 

She watched the three traders lean in, taking the delicate glasswork in gold-ringed hands and oddly wet lips. They were separated from her by circumstance, by species and age and galactic cartography. But most of the things that got someone behind those green windows were just things.

Embarkation Stories | Expectations - Belle & Sebastian

“Hey, you’ve been used. Are you calm, settle down. Write a song, I’ll sing along. Soon you will know that you are sane. You’re on top of the world again.”

What made the rebels fight the immovable for their world?

What makes the crowd in the square sing of their fight?

What wavers the voice of an outer-disk girl who’s made it?

What makes the bellhop genuflect to a one-word dismissal?

Loyalty, easily divided by the chancest of circumstances.

7 Rooms | Flowers (Eurydice’s Song) - Anais Mitchell

“Dreams are sweet, until they’re not. Men are kind, until they aren’t. Flowers bloom, until they rot and fall apart. Is anybody listening? I open my mouth and nothing comes out. Nothing, nothing’s gonna wake me up now.”

Her gaze fell on lux directly, and it settled like a physical thing: heavy, but only for its preciousness; grave, but only for its importance; like an official standard weight that everything would be measured against. She accepted it in unexpressed raptures, understanding that it was her greatest dignity and her best shot. Knowing she would be carrying it for a long, long time.

Unravel You | Four Five (I Will Survive) - Ava Luna

“Maybe your heart ain’t what it used to be, and maybe your devastating beauty’s something I won’t survive--but I’ll be damned if I don’t try.”

“Oh.” Her voice was intolerably soft. Their hands were still touching. The ex-umbralis’s suddenly floated just above: “You’ve got a little bit of something here.” Her fingertip lit again, trying to brush a microscopic bit of fiber--the last evidence of the unraveled end--from her knuckle.

The captain’s yanked her hand back as if she’d been bitten. “Gah! You’re too gentle, I can’t stand it when you’re so gentle,” she cried.

“Well that’s all very well--I didn’t even get it. It’s stuck in your static. Give me your hand again.”

She drew it to half an inch before her mouth, tautening her veils against chin with her other hand. The instant saw her lips contract and rest; the tiniest puff of air skipped across the space between. The raveling flew away. The captain’s shivered.

The Supernova Monologues | Help Me Mary - Liz Phair

“As they egg me on, and keep me mad, they play me like a pit bull in a basement...”

There was a time—cycles, turns—I was twitching in my sleep. For the first time since the first week my face stung again. For the first time ever I noticed that I was biting my tongue at every touch. I couldn’t tell you what had changed. I just reached a natural end, like a planet going through a polar shift. Like a sun, burning her final iron.

I remembered the way the visionary fought—with a staff like a fulcrum she’d take down yellowjackets three times her size. I made my weapon, or something that’d pass for one. Bare foot to broom head. In any second I could steal, any second out from the grind of her eyes, I learned. From the day I began forward, I was fighting a war of attrition. When they said go fetch I brought back the vacuum’s fury. When they said jump I grew ten feet tall instead.

The Bernino Interview | The Louder I Call The Faster It Runs - Wye Oak

“Like any other day, we will make the bed--thinking, ‘It is dead, it is finally dead.’“

1: Well maybe it does piss me off. I’ve barely shaken the crash off yet and you come asking me to elaborate my moral dilemmas.

2: I think you should tell the truth even if you don’t believe anyone will listen. Don’t you think you’d be less frustrated watching things change if you were changing something too?

Rise and Shine | A Cannon - Regina Spektor

“Bare feet on the cobblestone streets, then the beach, then a splash on my ankles, my knees, then my thighs, and my eyes opened wide--I threw myself right into the sea.”

That is the first time it occurs to her: the world outside is just there. It won’t melt if she tries to touch it. She won’t burn if it touches her. She shrinks back physically from the thought, one of those phantom reactions that makes the supervisors say she’s touched by the void. She is, of course, but not in the way they think.

An Education | Love Yourself (Reprise) - Sufjan Stevens

….“If you don’t know things, fear is all you have. I realized that, seeing how different she was from me. The imperial vocivographer, I mean.”

“I don’t think they’re any less smart than we are,” the girl says suddenly. “But they live in a tiny little world. And there’s a big universe out there.”

Letters From Tropovoxia | Sixteen Tons (Cover) - My Terrible Friend

“I was born one morning when the sun didn’t shine. I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine. Loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, and the straw-boss said well bless my soul. You load sixteen tons, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt...”

“As to the latest turns of events out there, I don’t see any reason to worry. Clones can be a great deal like schoolchildren--in a sea of barely formed personalities, a single beam of confidence draws every eye. Your orator is a queen bee, nothing more. You’ll get one every few shipments. With your and the foremaidens’ guidance, she can work in your favor with the others--they see her as worth paying attention to, so they may be persuaded to see her as worth imitating. I trust you’ll understand what I’m driving at. Otherwise, let them have their little lives…”

Two Can Play | Mutiny, I Promise You - The New Pornographers

“What’s the weight of the world worth to ya, kid?”

They settle in the two seats, under the high slanted windows and under the stars behind them. Rugsy seems to sigh her indignation out, visibly flinging it from her shoulders, and then, a few moments later, starts to laugh under her breath. “Well,” Dialtone says over her, replacing the hairs disturbed by her ecstatic performance in a compact mirror pulled from an invisible dress pocket, “that was messy.”

“That was, unequivocally, the best thing we’ve ever done.”

“We had our fun, probably at great expense.”

“I love watching you lie to the feds. It’s like a chamber concert from a virtuoso.”

Very briefly, flattered light blossoms over Dialtone’s face. She comports it sour again. “In which I’m forced to incorporate the sound of you banging two washbasins together.”

“Hey! That story got them gone.”

“The execution of it got them gone.” Dialtone heaves a sigh. “You have the boldness required to sell an audacious claim. It’s no small feat for an ex-umbralis.”

Void Song | Generator (First Floor) - Freelance Whales

“We keep on churning and the lights inside your house come on. And in our native language, we are chanting ancient songs. And when we quiet down the house chants on without us.”

It occurs to her that over the afternoon of preparation, they’ve come to understand that she’s let them be part of something important, even if she never let it slip. They don’t want to disappoint her. She wishes she would ever say that she almost came out here and did this alone, and that is what would have counted as doing it wrong.

Kiss prompts: 16, 11 and 9 for Aili and Uthvir plz :D

WHELP. That…did not turn out as planned. XD

Uthvir belongs to @feynites

To the baby Fenris AU!

Fenris will be turning five soon.

They always have a bit of a celebration for his birthday. Or at least, for the day Aili had found him out in the snow. They have no idea when he was actually born, of course, but it hardly matters. Fenris isn’t likely to remember when his real birthday is, and Aili finds it almost fitting to celebrate the day they had discovered each other. The day they became a family.

Five seems like an important number, though. Half a decade. He is long-limbed and lean. Running and jumping all over the place, as though he’s training for some sort of triathlon. Old enough to speak in complete sentences. Carefully measured out and meticulous. Steady. As her son seems to be with so many things. It seems so important to him to be independent and understood.

He will be old enough for tutors before long.

Fenris will enjoy that, she thinks. He has always liked the reading room. Working out the puzzles Haninan likes to get for him. Testing the limits of his mind as well as his body.

His magic will be showing up in full force, too. And that has her more worried than anything. There have been a few incidents with some sparks from his fingers and…

It did not go well.

Which is why the gift she intends to give him is meant to combine magic with something he loves.

Reading.

Fenris can already get through some of the simpler books on his own, but he is always pressing himself for more. More letters. More words. More meanings.

Writing seems to present more of a challenge. His fingers do not seem to be as dexterous as he would like. And every now and then, she finds that he has filled pages and pages with unintelligible scrawling. There seemed to be a sort of pattern to it, and she had initially wondered if perhaps he had made up a language of his own. The dark expression on his face when she had asked, coupled with what seemed to be a rising swell of grief, had dissuaded her from pressing further, though.    

Maybe it is some secret game he has with Tonlen, and he had not wanted her spoiling their fun.

The tablet she had found on a scouring mission with Uthvir through piles of potential treasures bound for the incinerators, had seemed perfect. It had clearly been made for another child at some point. Its surface is smooth and waxy, the frame and attached stylus inscribed with runes meant to project pictures of the words written into the board. Not intended for anything so complex as a scene from a novel, but more for simple sentences and word recognition.

Aili has managed to clean it up a bit. There was one corner in particular that got a little too close to one of the huge fires and ended up badly singed. And she added a few touches of paint here and there. Some leaves and flowers. Nothing fancy.

Now if only she could figure out the way to rejuvenate the magic on the runes.

It’s not completely broken as it is, but the pictures do not always work, and when they do, they tend to be blurry. Or flicker a lot. She can do better. …Probably.

Or at least…that was what she had thought a week ago.

She flops back onto her mattress after an hour of fruitlessly tinkering with the worthless thing. Frustrated and slightly singed in a few places from one attempt that had go particularly awry. The unpleasant sensation of defeat beginning to curdle in her gut.

Perhaps she should have scraped together her credits and gone shopping with Serahlin, after all.

Aili heaves a weary sigh. Maybe a bath will help clear her head and come up with some sort of solution.

She opts for some soothing scented bath oils, as opposed to her usual preference for bubbles. She massages her lavender soap into her hair, and lets herself soak. The warm water and pleasant floral smells easing some of the worries on her mind as well as the tension in her muscles.

After about fifteen minutes, she hears the door open, a rush of cool air sweeping into the room, sending a shiver down her spine.

“I thought you weren’t supposed to get back until after lunch?” she hums, eyes still pressed closed as she lounges against one side of the bathing pool.  

“The merchants were not as difficult to haggle with as anticipated,” Uthvir tells her, coming to sit at the edge of the pool. Dipping their legs into the warm water.

“Your pants will get wet,” Aili notes, sloshing over and folding her arms across their lap. Tucking her head somewhere around their navel, sudsy hair and all, before heaving a deep sigh.

“It is a sacrifice I am willing to make,” they reply in a low voice, scraping the sharp points of their nails lightly through damp curls. “Is everything alright? Where is Fenris?”

“Serahlin insisted that he needed a new outfit for his birthday party, so she offered to take him shopping while I got some more work done on some of the other preparations,” she mumbles into the crook of her arm. “I don’t think he was especially pleased by the prospect, but he didn’t put up a fight, either. Tonlen went with them, so expect our son to be covered in glitter when he comes home.”

“Noted,” they smirk. They sit together in silence for a few moments, simply enjoying the bath and the pleasure of one another’s company. Uthvir still idly playing with a few strands of her hair.

“Was there something else?” they wonder, “You seem…contemplative.”

“I still can’t get the tablet to work properly,” she admits with a grumble.

“Perhaps you should ask Haninan for advice?” Uthvir suggests.

“I suppose I’ll have to,” Aili says with another long sigh, “I guess I was just… hoping I could fix it for him on my own. Since I couldn’t really afford much with my credit limit. Nothing he doesn’t already have. Clothes and simple toys. I just…wanted to give him something he might get excited about having.”

“You are his mother,” Uthvir points out gently, “You give him things every day. You would do anything for him. He knows that. The act of physically giving him a present on his birthday is mostly a symbol. He will treasure it, no matter what it is, because it is a gift from you.”

“He’s five,” she reminds them, “Even if he is a very conscientious five. He still gets bored by the same things that normal children do. And a shoddy present is its own sort of symbol. And not a very nice one.”

She tips her head back to peer up at them, the faintest traces of worry beginning to curl into the air surrounding her.

“I…don’t want Fenris to have the sort of life that I do,” Aili tells them, her eyes wide and slightly pleading, “Haninan likes him, I think. And the General and Dorian have taken an interest in his future, too. Those are all good signs. And he’s so smart, I know he could do all sorts of things if he put his mind to it. But…you’ll still look out for him, right? Even when he’s reached his majority and he has to take vallaslin? I don’t know how often I’ll be able to keep an eye on him if I’m living back in the Lower City again…”

“You do not even have to ask,” Uthvir assures her, their brows furrowing slightly, “But don’t you…want to keep living here?”

Aili makes a face at them, scrunching up her nose a bit.

“Well, I mean, of course I do,” she huffs, “It’s not like this is just some nice set of rooms. This is my home now. It’s where we’re raising our son. And even if he moves out when he gets older, you’ll still be here, and it isn’t like I’d get tired of seeing you every day. I love you. But that doesn’t mean my supervisors are going to just-”

Her sentence is cut off by a very sudden and fervent collision with Uthvir’s mouth.

They tug her up a bit farther, sliding an arm around her shoulders and burying their free hand in her hair. Their tongue presses between her lips, warm and insistent. Fierce affection and desire seeping into the air surrounding them like the flower-scented steam from the bath.

Aili makes a startled sound in the back of her throat that quickly dissolves into a quiet moan. Still, it seems like enough for Uthvir to regain a bit of their composure. They draw away a little, breathing hard. Eyes still dark and wanting.

“I am sorry,” they pant, “I did not mean to just… If you want to continue your bath I can-”

That is as far as they get before Aili gets her arms around them and bodily drags them into the bathing pool. Clothes and all.

It is not especially deep, and some of the water sloshes out with the impact. Aili laughs into their mouth, hitching a leg over their hip and tugging them closer. Completely unrepentant.

“I’m not sure how much time we’ve got,” she murmurs between kisses, her fingers searching for the fastenings of their outfit. Namely their pants. And Uthvir is not entirely certain whether the comment is about higher-ranking followers forcing her to move out at some point, or the likelihood of their son walking in on them.

“Then we will make the most of what we have,” they reply, nipping at her lips.

Their hands slide down her body, leaving little trails of magic in the wake of their fingertips. Her skin is slick and soft, warmed from the bath, and now flushed with the heat of her rising desires. She hisses, breath catching for an instant before retaliating with a few lightly scraping bites along the side of their neck. Still struggling to get at more of their skin.

She seems to be having particular trouble with their belt.

“Why do you always have so many layers?” she complains breathlessly, voice cracking as their fingers find her center and begin lightly teasing her.

“Perhaps I am merely fending off the cold?” Uthvir suggests with a low hum. They pull her leg a little higher, angling their fingers in such a way that when they press back into her, any answer she might have made is stolen away by a gasp of pleasure. The smirk they press against her ear is verging on devious.

“Are you cold right now?” Aili wonders, slipping her hands down the back of their partially opened pants and giving their backside a firm squeeze.

“Never, with you in my arms,” they reply easily, tilting their hips against her a bit more firmly. Trying for a bit more friction.

She snorts at the sentiment, but draws them in for a kiss all the same, attempting to tug their pants down and press them closer all at once. They nibble at the sensitive point of her ear, increasing the speed of their hand as she twists her hips to meet them. Desperately seeking an end.

“Uthvir,” she rasps out, nearly pleading. Fingernails digging into the meat of their shoulders. Eyes pressing shut as she struggles to hold on.

Their hips shift forward in response, the passion in the are sharpening suddenly, clearly eager for some relief of their own.

Uthvir’s hand gripping the edge of the pool slips.

Aili slips.

There is a very large splash, and suddenly half the water in the bathing pool has been sprayed across the bathroom floor.

“...Mama?” Fenris’ voice calls uncertainly from the other room.

“Everything’s fine, little heart,” she calls back to him once she’s regained a bit of her equilibrium. She shoots Uthvir a glance, clearly trying very hard not to laugh. “Nanae just dropped something in the bath, that’s all. We’ll be out in a few minutes.”

“It seems our time is up,” Uthvir sighs, sounding a bit amused themselves. Getting up out of the bath and drying their clothes with a wave of their hand before turning around to help Aili. Offering her a hand and a towel.

“Not if I have anything to say about it,” she grins at them, wiping herself off a little before sweeping in for a kiss. Sweet with traces of lingering heat. “We can have as much time as we want. For everything.”

She pauses to look around at the mess in the bathroom.

“However, I think next time we should try for more of a…seated position?”

“Agreed,” Uthvir chuckles.
