Hello, I've been enjoying your fics, you write so charmingly! A request, if you have the time: reader plays lead guitar in Megadeth - Dave hired her during a post-rehab, clean living phase because she's a kick-ass metal guitarist, but she doesn't drink much, doesn't do drugs, doesn't do hookups. And they tour with Metallica, where hard-drinking, hard-partying, grupies-in-showers James Hetfield falls for her, and of course he has to work to convince her to take him seriously and date him. <3
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like them. I hope you like itâ¤
Behind the rockstar
Joining Megadeth had always been about the music. I was there to play, not to fall into the notorious lifestyle of rock. Iâd seen the wild afterparties, the booze, the drugs, the endless stream of groupies, and I wanted no part of it. Iâd disappear after every show, slipping out as Metallicaâs backstage turned into a chaotic free-for-all of laughter, drinks, and fans ready to do anything to be close to their idols. It didnât faze me â I was there to play, and to avoid the chaos that came with it.
But someone had started to notice my vanishing act: James Hetfield. The first time he stopped me, he leaned against an amp, flashing that arrogant smile, and casually asked, âSo, are you ever gonna stick around?â
I could tell by his tone he expected some banter or an easy laugh, but I didnât give him one. I shrugged, zipping up my guitar case. âNot my thing, Hetfield. Enjoy the party.âÂ
The polite brush-off was supposed to be enough. But James was persistent, like a moth drawn to a flame, unwilling to give up so easily. The next night, he caught up with me again, this time with a smirk and a drink in hand. âYou know, youâre missing out,â he said, holding out the glass. âOne drink wonât kill you.â
I gave him a long look, raising an eyebrow. âI think Iâll survive,â I said, walking away without a second glance.
But that didnât stop him. Instead, it seemed to challenge him, and over the next few nights, his cocky attempts turned into something else. The joking lines softened, the smooth charm replaced by a genuine curiosity. He started sitting out of the parties more often, just to catch me as I packed up. Heâd bring coffee, ask me about the nightâs show, or share stories about his own journey in music. I tried to keep my guard up, but it was getting harder each time.
Then, one evening, he found me playing alone after a show, experimenting with a tricky solo. He quietly sat down, watching in silence. When I glanced over, he looked different â more thoughtful, less of the rock star Iâd first met.
âYou really donât drink, huh?â he asked, his voice softer than usual.
I shrugged. âI just want to keep a clear head. This is too important to mess up.â
He nodded, looking down. âYeah⌠I know what thatâs like.â There was a shadow in his eyes, and I remembered the stories Iâd heard about his battles with addiction. It hit me that the man behind the arrogant persona was struggling too, working to keep himself from slipping.Â
After that, he changed. Every night, heâd find some reason to join me, away from the wild parties. Sometimes heâd bring new riffs heâd been working on or sit with me in the empty rehearsal room, teaching me solos with an unexpected patience. Heâd focus so intently on the music, his usual swagger replaced with an openness that caught me off guard. His arrogance was just armor, I realized, hiding something more complex, someone whoâd been through the same struggles and wanted something more.
One night, after a long set, I was surprised to find him still waiting around, his usual crowd nowhere in sight. He handed me a cup of coffee and asked, âMind if I walk with you?â
It was just a walk back to the hotel, but it turned into a real conversation. We strolled through the quiet streets, and he told me things I hadnât expected â stories about his family, his childhood, his demons. He spoke of the toll fame had taken, how the partying had turned into a crutch, how he was trying to change. By the time we reached the hotel, I saw him differently. I could see the way he was fighting against the image heâd built, trying to find himself underneath all the fame and excess.
From then on, he kept showing up in small, thoughtful ways. Iâd find new guitar strings left on my amp when I ran low, or heâd save a quiet spot for us at a diner after the shows, away from the noise and distractions. Heâd even picked up on little things â the kind of coffee I liked, the music Iâd listen to as I tuned my guitar. And he gave up the booze and the afterparties, telling me quietly one night, âI want to be around for this. Around forâŚyou.â
But the moment that sealed it was one night when we had a rough show â technical issues, tensions running high. Afterward, I found him alone in the rehearsal room, strumming his guitar softly. He looked up as I entered, his usual confident mask completely gone.
Without a word, he started playing something Iâd never heard before. It was a slow, haunting melody, so unlike his usual riffs, layered with the kind of depth and rawness that only came from true vulnerability. I realized heâd written it for me, a piece full of emotion and sincerity that words alone couldnât capture.
When he finished, he looked up at me, his eyes open, honest. âY/N, I know Iâm not exactly a safe bet. My lifeâs messy, Iâm still figuring things out. But you make me want to try, to be better. I donât want to let you down.â
I could see the sincerity, feel the weight of his words. I reached out, touching his hand, and he held it like it was something fragile and precious. âJames, if weâre doing this, I need to know itâs real. No games, no halfway.â
He nodded, his gaze steady. âI donât want games. I just want you.â
From that night on, we were a team. Heâd still catch me before I left each night, sometimes just to talk, sometimes to play, and weâd share quiet moments on the road â stolen cups of coffee, hushed conversations in the early mornings, little gestures that spoke louder than words. He became a different person, one who listened, who showed up, who put his all into proving that he could be the man he wanted to be. The man I was beginning to care about.
And so, in the midst of the chaos, we found something real. It wasnât perfect, and neither of us were, but for the first time in a long time, I felt like Iâd found something worth staying for. And with him beside me, I didnât want to walk away.

(Before I say anything this isnât meant to be hate this is just my thoughts)
I think the reasoning on why people are thinking you are romanticizing Ganymede and Zeusâs story is because youâre making it look like instead of making Ganymede scared of Zeus, it looks like Ganymede is proud to have been kidnapped by Zeus and that he wears a badge of being SA by Zeus. For example, in one of your drawings you said how Ganymede would react to one of Zeus's kids wanting to fight him to where Ganymede said that he had sex with their father, Zeus, making it sound like he was proud and not that affected by Zeusâs actions.
(Again, this is not hate; I'm just explaining what might have caused people to think you're romanticizing Zeus's and Ganymede's relationship.)
No worries, I actually sometimes dont understand when someone is being hateful, so I would read it as just normal.
SO! Again, dosent matter how Ganymede is portrayed, people will think it shouldnt even exist any discussion of him (like, there was an artist that literaly make Zeus as a vile abuser of Ganymede and Hebe was consoling him - EVEN THIS SITUATION THAT SHOW EXPLICIT HOW BROKEN GANYMEDE WAS, PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED AS ROMANTIZATION ;w;). So just dont try to look for a reason, there are a lot and none depending sole on who is interpreting my drawings.
This specifc drawing you mentioned, I did way after this recent wave of hate and was just a joke. This case dosent have so much meaning behind the joke, but like, you can have your interpretation as him coping, or he feel for Zeus, or he just want to mess with other gods as he is the only 'mortal' and use Zeus as a shield so he can just be lying... LET YOUR IMAGINATION FLY.
Look... my very firsts drawings and tiktok of Ganimedes was him mad... He literaly mad cry... Even before any nsfw I have done or more nuansed art... and yet people also thougth as romantization... So really, dosent matter what I do, to some people just because of my style or because Zeus is hot its equal to be ok with anything he does (as if abusers cant be attractive... its good those people never meet someone like this, but still makes me worry about them). Ah! There re two expections: some eagle interactions re sweet because its before any harm; and Ganimedes smiling one time on a tiktok video (I though people would be intriged and make questions, but nope, they stick to Ganimedes liking being abused I guess - welp the fetish exists, but I know they mean as me saying 'abuse is ok because he liked it').
I dont know where people think that just because Ganimedes its not suffering in every single second means he is ok to all harm and struggle he will pass... I want to make him suffer as an OC, but like, let him have happy moments... and this also means happy moments with Zeus... and all of this dont erase any bad things... this binary way to see stories its just so not my thing -w-
Oh! and its not because you have intimacy with someone you also love them (like, rage f*cking is a thing and I want to explore it, maybe outside the comic, idk yet u.u). I also have some cannibalism drawings Gani x Zeus, cause imagine eating a god!! So exciting!
OK now for real, I will not answer anymore romantization discustion for some time. I'm tired of this, I will do my things and hope people have patience before stating something that its still in progress. Aske me about it in two months maybe...

I want a Charcoal Cookie
I mean, you can have activated charcoal in food, like charcoal cheddar, black ice cream, other things I canât find (without the internet telling me there was some sort of trend about putting it in food, Iâm just looking for actual food with it). So I mean, it works if you need the Cookies to be made of something edible
Also, maybe with charcoal being burnt wood, they could have a connection to Millennial Tree Cookie? Like, they were once a part of his forest, or even a branch from his tree, that got burnt into charcoal and then turned into a Cookie? And maybe they hold resentment for it? I dunno, just a neat idea pertaining to it I had
And also I want to make a joke about them eating wood to like, keep their powers active, like they have fire powers and they need to eat wood to keep it burning. But also they just eat sticks. Like yes, they eat other food, but they will just chomp on a twig
Just a random thing
#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#cookie run ovenbreak#cookie run oc#if you want to know how I came to this idea#to be completely honest it was because I was thinking of that idea of Dark Cacao having a fire lover#but like I wanted them to be fire related but not spicy#since again I donât think spice really works with this family#also in my opinion thereâs too many spicy cookies#this was one option I had that I thought was neat#but like also I think Charcoal could stand on their own#others were pertaining to flowers with a fire theme#like flame lily and torch ginger#also regular ginger#I mean honestly I might just stick with charcoal#but I think the real reason for that is because I thought the stick joke was funny#and even funnier if it meant Dark Choco also just chomped on sticks whenever#random idea#random stuff

Okay soooooooo
How bout something like King Steve picking on shy!reader, then later finding out she has a shitty home life plz
ty for requesting!! this can be read as a prequel to this fic â steve comforts you when he accidentally makes you flinch (enemies to lovers, hurt/comfort, cw for brief mentions of abuse, 1.8k)
Sitting alone at the Hellfire table, you feel a little like fishbait.Â
Your spot in the very back of the cafeteria is normally full and loud â with Dustinâs bickering, and Eddieâs laughing, and Garethâs stupid jokes â but theyâre not here now. Theyâre off getting their trays while you sit in wait for them (and the cold fries youâll ultimately steal from Eddieâs plate). It leaves you perfect prey for circling sharks.
You hear laughter from behind you, over the sounds of the bustling lunch room. Youâre certain theyâre laughing at you â âcause you always think someoneâs laughing at you â but you try hard to ignore it. You disregard the subtle pang of anxiety in your chest and stick your nose in your book, eyes flitting across the words without reading any of them.
Someone flumps down at your side then, where Mike usually sits. The overwhelming scent of spiced cologne stings your nostrils. With watering eyes, you look beside you. At Tommy fucking Hagan.
âHey, Wallflower,â he greets like itâs normal â like he hasnât spent the past four years pretending you donât exist. You think he only calls you Wallflower now because his friends have been doing it for so long they donât remember your real name.
The boy props his elbow on the table and puts his chin in his fist, trying hard to hide his boyish beam and accompanying laughter. He fails.
You cower at his presence, all but shrinking into yourself. ââŚHi?â you reply in a tiny voice.
âHowâs it hanginâ?â
â...Fine?â
âThatâs great!â he answers instantly, like he hadnât heard you at all. âYou see, my friend Steve, over thereâ you know him, right?â
You donât bother to look where heâs pointing. Of course, you know Steve The Hair Harrington. You donât think thereâs a single person in Hawkins who doesnât.
You nod in response.
Tommyâs smile widens. âWell, heâs got this massive crush on you,â he confesses, choking back a laugh halfway through. âI mean, he talks about you all the time.â
You know heâs lying. And not just because heâs grinning so hard that his eyes are crinkled and his freckled cheeks are turning pink. Youâre almost certain Steve Harrington doesnât even know who you are. He never had a reason to. Why would the King of Hawkins High ever stoop so low to know someone like you?
You glance at him over your shoulder, a couple tables down from you. Heâs almost magnetically pretty. You couldnât ignore him if you tried â with his pretty hair and his pretty eyes and his pretty smile. His golden cheeks flush as all his friends start poking fun at him.Â
He rolls his eyes and scoffs a laugh you can tell is forced from here. He doesnât think any of this is funny. You can see it on his face. But he isnât trying to stop it all from happening. Youâre just collateral damage, really.
You turn back to Tommy with a disbelieving look in your eye.
He continues to ramble despite it. âHe was just a little nervous coming up to you, thatâs all. So I thought Iâd do him a favor and slip you his number. You know, as his wingman and all.â He tosses a folded-up index card onto the pages of your opened book. âYou should call him tonightâ Itâll make his day, I swear.â
He pats you a little too hard on the back before he goes. His laugh echoes over all the rest when he sits back down at his table. You watch them over your shoulder as they fall over themselves to crack jokes about you.Â
Steveâs the only one not smiling. âNot cool, Tommy,â he mouths.
âââââ
Locker 148. The one right across from yours. Property of Steve The Hair Harrington.Â
You shove the thick card with his number written on it between the slits in the metal. Youâd carried it around all day, utterly unsure of what to do with it. You decided ultimately to return it, figuring he might feel a little better if a total stranger didnât have his phone number.
You struggle to slide it through the thin gap, though. The paper gets caught halfway through, and you try to yank it back out again. The old locker moves with you, like itâs not completely shut but still somehow latched.Â
Youâre so in your own head you donât hear the gymnasium door down the hall squeal open and shut again. Steve pants heavily and tries to recover from a ruthless basketball practice. He hunts for a water fountain and finds you instead.
âWhat are you doing?â he calls as he nears you, not malicious or unkind but genuinely curious.
Your heart lurches into your throat as you all but jump out of your skin.
Steve laughs, a pretty sound in the silent hallway. âShit. Sorry. I didnâtâ I didnât mean to scare you.â
âYou didnât,â you assure with an averted gaze, though your frightened demeanor says otherwise. âI was justâ I was trying to give you this.â
You hold the paper out towards him. He takes it with hesitant hands. âWhat is it?â
âYour number. Tommy gave it to me earlier, and I know it was just a stupid joke, so I⌠I thought youâd feel more comfortable if I gave it back to you.â
Something in Steveâs chest aches. He doesnât understand why you would care about what might make him comfortable. Itâs not like he ever gave you the time of day â or ever tried to stop his friends from being total assholes. As far as heâs concerned, youâre the last person who should give a shit about him.
âOh. Rightâ Yeah⌠Thanks,â he stammers and shoves the thing into his pocket. âAnd Iâmâ Iâm sorry about Tommy and everything. He can be a real douchebag sometimes. I didnât⌠I didnât tell him to bother you or anythingââ
âI know,â you assure in a mousy voice. âTommy gave me your number hoping Iâd be dumb enough to call while your friends were over so you could all⌠laugh at me? I guess. He couldâve been a little more original, honestly.â
Steve cracks a smile. He almost laughs, but he canât tell if youâre joking or not.
âIâll talk to him later. Tell him to leave you aloneââ He rambles and walks closer to you. You watch him with tentative eyes as he approaches. ââHeâs a total dumbass sometimes, but he usually means well. Most of the time, anywayââ
Steve raises his hand suddenly. And, because youâre frightened by everything little thing, you flinch and stumble over yourself in the process. The lockers catch your fall, and you hit the back of your head. Hard.
âShitâ Are you okay?âÂ
âIâm fine,â you squeak, holding the crown of your hair and squinting as your skull pounds.
Steve rushes to your side, then idles just ahead of you because he doesnât know if you want him touching you. His brows pinch, chiseled features swimming with concern. His cinnamon eyes glitter with it, too. âI wasnât trying to scare youââ
âItâs okay.â
ââMy locker was just jammed. I was going to shut it.â
The metal door is open now, from where it wasnât shut all the way and where you just smacked your head on it.
âI just wasnât expecting it,â you assure in a tight voice, trying hard to ignore the sharp throbbing. âItâs fine. Iâm fineââ
âYouâre hurt.â
âItâll go awayââ
âLet me get you an icepack.â
ââIâll be fine once I get home.â
Steve, feeling purely at fault and aching at how effortlessly you shrug him off, decides to approach you fully. He curls a warm hand around the outside of your elbow. A touch surprisingly gentle. âNo. Câmon. Let me help.â
You donât feel much like youâre in any position to fight him about it. Not with the world still swaying under your feet.Â
Steve guides you the short distance to the empty cafeteria. Slow and kind and dreadfully patient. He sits you down, makes sure youâre still okay, and then rushes to fix you a makeshift icepack â a ziplock bag filled to the brim with chipped ice.
He sits at the chair beside yours, slightly askew so his knees bump your thighs. He holds the pack to the crown of your head and gazes at you attentively. Youâre not looking back at him to see it.
âDoes it still hurt?â
You shrug, eyes flitted to the wringing hands in your lap. âItâs fine. It just feels a little like I have a migraine.â
Steve winces. âIâm sorry.â
Your doe eyes peek at him from beneath your lashes. âIt wasnât your fault.â
âI scared you.â
âEverything scares me.â
Itâs a dumb joke. You mean it, but you still expect him to laugh about it. He doesnât even crack a smile, though. He just keeps looking at you with that puppy-like twist to his features. The worry is evident in his face.Â
âDo you wanna, like, talk about it or something?â
âAbout what?â
âWhy you flinched.â
You freeze, breath hitching in your throat. No oneâs ever noticed your incessant panic â outside of making jokes about it anyway. No oneâs cared enough to ask about it, either. Steve Harrington is the last person you expected any kind of concern from.
You shake your head after a few long moments. âNo.â
âYou could,â Steve assures, suddenly shy. You didnât know he could be anything other than totally full of himself. âYou know, if you wanted to. I wouldnâtâ I wouldnât tell anyoneââ
You scoff a disbelieving laugh.
Steveâs features swirl with hurt. You hate that it makes your chest ache. You hate most that he hasnât stopped being soft with you. The hand holding the pack to your head hasnât yet wavered, even though you know his arm must be tired now.
âI wouldnât. âCause Iâ I know what itâs like to⌠to have a bad home life or whatever,â he confesses, stammering hopelessly. He forces a laugh at himself. âProbably more than most people do, honestly.â
His admission takes you by surprise. It comforts you in a way you didnât think someone like him could.Â
Even still, you shake your head. âIâ I canâtââ you murmur, clearing your throat when the words get stuck there. âI canât talk about itâŚâ
Steve nods, firm and reassuring. âThatâs okay. You donât have to, I was just⌠I was just saying, you know? I get it.â
You swallow through a tight throat, nodding wordlessly in response.
âPlus, you know, you have my number and everything⌠If you ever wanted to talkâŚâ
You flash him a timid look and crack a quiet smile. âI gave it back to you, remember?â
âIâll write it down for you again,â he promises with a shrug and a lopsided grin. Itâs easier to ignore his aching arm and the ice stinging his palm when heâs looking at you. âFor real this time.â

Supe Preference: Asking You Out
Requested: hi, idk if you write for the supes, but I will try request anyway :D how would the supes ( the boys series) ask a gn reader out? Ty - anon
A/N: I hope this is okay my love! I tried to stay true to character as much as possible, so I'm not sure how romantic some of them are. I tried writing for new Supes too, at least new for me, so apologies if it's not totally in character! Feedback is always appreciated! đđđ
Homelander doesn't exactly ask you out. Rather, on live TV during an interview or event, he grabs your hand and proclaims that you're in love, that you're a couple. Whether or not you're into him, it still comes as a shock. Afterwards he'll ask you on a date where the public and paparazzi can see and take pictures. It's not as intimate as you'd like, but the date goes well. He takes you to an expensive restaurant where you've gotten rid of your suit for something classy and elegant, but he sticks with his regular attire. It's definitely not how you were expecting to be asked out or how you thought your relationship would progress. Ashley thinks it's great! You are both insanely powerful and, for selfish reasons, she wants Homelander off her back. She appreciates that you'll take some of the attention off her.
The Deep probably makes more than a few inappropriate, crude, raunchy jokes about and around you before he properly introduces himself. It's almost compulsive the way his jokes come out. He just can't help himself. He later apologizes and asks to start fresh. Would you want to go out on a date with him? When you say yes, he instantly tells you about all his ideas. You could go to the aquarium or to dinner or to the amusement park or coffee or whatever you want to do. You stick to coffee. It's pretty cute how excited he is. He wasn't expecting you to say yes, so he really didn't have it planned all the way through. He was expecting, like everyone else in his life, for you to call him stupid and move on without answering.
A-Train and you have been dating forever, but you haven't been out on a date in ages. He's still shy trying to ask you out even now. Of course you say yes, excited you'll get some time alone. You might have to reschedule once or twice because Homelander is on the rampage, but when you do get together, he takes you rollerskating. Despite how fast he is in sneakers, he's awful on wheels. He holds your hand the entire time and definitely drags you down when he falls. He stays pretty casual in his clothes and tries to keep his hood up, but it just falls down. You guys find a roller-rink in the middle of nowhere, so you're pretty safe in being discovered. You make fun of his clumsiness and check him for bruises when he falls, especially hard. He makes the same joke over and over: that he "fell" for you. You think he's an idiot, but this is by far one of your most favorite dates.
Queen Maeve asks you out over text. When you say yes, she shows up in her civilian clothes. She makes sure she isn't followed and that Homelander is distracted the entire day. She takes you to the movies. It's dark and secluded, but she knows you love movie theater popcorn specifically with all the butter and the blue raspberry slushies, and you picked the only movie not funded by or produced by Vought. It's a really terrible comedy, but you two can laugh at it anyway. Maeve even holds your hand during the movie which makes her heart beat out of her chest. Afterwards she makes you stay after to kiss you and tell you she had a really great time. It's the first time in forever where she's felt like a real person whose allowed to do real person things. She wants to get your read on it, but you're both excited for a second date.
Firecracker would ask you on a date to some fast food restaurant where you can get the best greasy food and the thickest milkshakes. She'll definitely be sported because she doesn't go incognito and ends up spending a few minutes at least taking pictures and videos for everyone who wants one. She apologizes for them, but secretly, she loves it. You don't mind. You knew what you were getting into when you said yes to the date. She tells you about her life growing up and her past with Starlight. You tell her about your own life and how you came to New York to follow your dreams. She tells you about joining The Seven and what she really thinks of Vought. It isn't the most magical date, but you're glad you said yes. It made you feel like a teenager again, getting food with your old crush, trying to play it cool when you're actually freaking out.
Soldier Boy doesn't really ask you out on a date. You two *get busy* in bed and afterwards he asks if you'd want to go to a bar. You say yes and find yourself at a local hole in the wall, a place that definitely doesn't see new faces. Most of the patrons are as old as Ben would be if he'd aged. He looks so familiar to them, but they can't figure out where he's from. An old friend? An old co-worker? Regardless, they don't pay attention to the two of you. You and Ben start trying to out drink one another and though his tolerance is astronomically higher than yours, you keep up enough to impress him. You two probably go back to bed and keep drinking, sharing stories about your lives between sweaty sheets and shared sips of whatever booze he has lying around. It's not too official, but you both kind of think of it as a date.
Bonus! Annie asks you to go bowling with her. Like in the show, she plays it off like she's not very good until you point it out to her. That's when she starts kicking your ass. She's really embarrassed and worried that you'll think she's showing off or just trying to make you feel bad, but you love it. You love her strength. You love her showing off and almost breaking the pins with the ball. You get really awful bowling alley food and beers, and it's a really fun night despite all the drama that comes with being Starlight. It's the first time in a long time she's felt normal and safe and excited to be here, excited to be herself. You're not shy about asking for a second date, though you know you're risking a lot by wanting to be with her. She makes that known before anything else.

The thing is, Jean Valjeanâs ânineteen year prison sentence for stealing a loaf of breadâ from Les Mis isnât actually unusualâŚ.not even today! I see people talking about it as if itâs strange or unimaginable when it happens every day.
In modern America â often as a result of pointlessly cruel (and racist) habitual offender and mandatory minimum lawsâ people are routinely sentenced to life in prison for minor crimes like shoplifting or possession of drugs.
The ACLU did a report in 2013 detailing the lives of various people who were sentenced to life in prison without parole for nonviolent property crimes like:
â˘attempting to cash a stolen check
â˘a junk-dealerâs possession of stolen junk
metal (10 valves and one elbow pipe)
â˘possession of stolen wrenches
â˘siphoning gasoline from a truck
â˘stealing tools from a tool shed and a welding machine from a yard
â˘shoplifting three belts from a department store
â˘shoplifting several digital cameras
â˘shoplifting two jerseys from an athletic store
⢠taking a television, circular saw, and a power converter from a vacant house
⢠breaking into a closed liquor store in the middle of the night
And of course, so so so many people sentenced to life without parole for the possession of a few grams of drugs.
And we could go on and on!
Gregory Taylor was a homeless man in Los Angeles who, in 1997, was sentenced to â25 years to lifeâ for attempting to steal food from a food kitchen. He was released after 13 years. The lawyers helping to release him even cited Les Miserables in their appeal, comparing Taylorâs sentence to Jean Valjeanâs.
And thereâs another specific bit of social commentary Hugo was making about Valjeanâs trial thatâs still depressingly relevant. He writes that Valjean was sentenced for the theft of loaf of bread, but also that the court managed to make that sentence stick by bringing up some of his past misdemeanors. For example, Valjean owned a gun and was known to occasionally poach wildlife (presumably for his starving family to eat.) . So the court exaggerates how harmful the bread theft wasâhe had to smash a windowpane to get the bread, which is basically Violenceâ then insist the fact that he owns a gun and occasionally poaches is proof that he is habitually and innately violent. Then when Valjean obviously becomes distressed traumatized and furious as a result of his nakedly unjust sentence and begins making desperate (and very unsuccessful/impulsive/ poorly thought through) attempts to escapeâŚ. the government indifferently tacks more years onto his sentence, labels him a âdangerousâ felon, and insists that its initial read of him as an innately violent person was correct.
And itâs sad how a lot of the real life stories linked earlier are similar to the commentary Hugo wrote in 1863? Someone will commit a nonviolent property crime, and then the court insists that a bunch of other miscellaneous things theyâve done in the past (whether itâs other minor thefts or being addicted to drugs or w/e) are Proof theyâre inherently violent and incapable of being around other people.
A small very petty fandom side note: This is also why I dislike all those common jokes you see everywhere along the lines of âlol itâs so unrealistic for the police to want to arrest Valjean over a loaf of bread, there must have been some other reason the police were pursuing him. Because the state would never punish someone that harshly and irrationally for no reason. so maybe javert was just gay hahaâ. (Ex: this tiktokâ please donât harass the creator or poster though, I donât think they were intending to mean anything like that and its just a silly common type of joke you see made about Les mis all the time so itâs not unique in any way.) because like.
As much as I donât think Les Mis is a flawless book or that its political messaging is perfectâŚ.the only way that insanely long unjust sentences for minor crimes is âunrealisticâ is if youâre operating on the assumption that prisons are here to Keep You Safe by always only punishing bad criminals who do serious crimes. And thatâs just, not true at all. Like I get that these are just goofy silly shallow jokes, and Iâm not angry or going to harass anyone who makes them. but it feels like thereâs an assumption underlying all those goofy jokes that âthis is just not how prison works!â âPrisons donât routinely sentence people to absurd laughably unjust pointless sentences!â âPrisons give people fair sentences for logical reasons!â When likeâŚno
Valjean being relentlessly hounded and tortured for a minor crime in a way that is utterly ridiculous and arbitrary in its cruelty is not actually a plot hole in Les mis. Itâs a plot hole in âŚ..society ajsjkdkdkf. And the only way to fix that is to fight for prison abolition or at least reform, and (in America) stand up against the vicious naked cruelty of habitual offender and mandatory minimum laws.
But yeah :(. I hate how Les Mis opens with a prologue saying the novel will be obsolete the moment the social issues it describes have been resolvedâ but two hundred years later, the book is still more relevant than ever because weâre dealing with so many of the exact same injustices.
#les mis#lm 1.2.6#Jean Valjean#anyway sometimes lm 1.2.6 makes me sad and sometimes it makes me angry#today I feel both#: â(((((((((((((((#but yeah#also again I donât hate people who make the goofy âlol valjeans prison sentence was so unrealistic javert must be gayâ jokes#i get that theyâre jokes#and that theyâre mostly made by people who like watched Les mis 2012 once#but also#but also but also#:ââââ(#I donât know the tragedy of valjeans story and the continued relevance of that social commentary Gets to me#Les mis letters#Les mis daily

I know people hate âbully/victimâ ships so IM SORRY theres just a silly modern au bully bingge idea iâve been thinking about a lot lately .
cw for the above mentioned dynamic!!
Luo Binghe getting into some exclusive academy after finding out about his familyâs inheritance. He immediately hates all these out of touch rich people⌠all of them except for Shen Yuan.Â
They have a basic meet cute. Shen Yuan spills Bingheâs coffee and offers to buy him a new one, giving him a tour of their campus while theyâre out. He introduces him to the librarians and the office staff. Binghe is certain this is way too good to be true, and Shen Yuan has got to have some ulterior motive.Â
One some base level he knows Shen Yuan is a good person that is being kind for him for no particular reason. Heâs seen him do the same for other people. But the idea of him being just one of the many people Shen Yuan is friendly with makes him feel bitter and self-conscious. So heâs like fuck it, I hate Shen Yuan actually heâs gotta be a green tea bitch or something (because if heâs not it will literally shatter his world-view if he finds out not all people are greedy and bad)Â
Hear me out . listen. Pushing someone around is something that can be so homoerotic
Bingge picking on Shen Yuan and being super, super aroused the whole time. Heâll dump water on shen yuan as a joke, then ignore everyone else laughing bc shen yuanâs shirt is sticking to his skin and his nipples got hard because the water was cold-
Or heâll take shen yuanâs glasses and hold it above his head so shen yuan has to stand on his tip toes and come really close to try to grab it back (one time he even tripped and fell against bingheâs chest!!) Because heâs nearsighted, sometimes Shen Yuan will even forget to put distance between their faces and be within kissing range while he argues with Binghe.Â
Once he snuck into the changing room and stole shen yuanâs clothes so he would have to walk back to his dorm in his swim trunks. He definitely didnât take pictures of Shen Yuanâs blushing face walking back to his room half naked and he definitely didnât keep the clothes and sniff them like a weirdo hahaâŚ
Itâs an average day for them (Binghe takes shen yuan by the wrists and holds him against the wall and calls him a fragile little princess and taunts him by saying heâs not strong enough to break out of his hold. Prime bullying tactic for someone youâre in love with 1. Binghe gets to see live reaction of syâs face when heâs pinned down and struggling and can save that image for later use 2. Physical closeness, theyâre practically pressed together 3. Shen yuan bruises easily and seeing bingheâs handprints on his wrists for like a week is super satisfying 4. Binghe can call him romantic pet names like princess or wife and shen yuan will just think binghe is calling him effeminate as an insult)Â
Luo Binghe even lifts Shen Yuanâs hands above him to catch both wrists with one hand and says, âYou canât even get out if I only use one hand?â It makes Shen YUan flush red from humiliation in suuuch an adorable way.Â
So anyway, Binghe is picking on shen yuan in the back room of some office somewhere, doing his whole routine because heâs been hurt too many times in life to be vulnerable with someone again and this is his only way to achieve intimacy with the person he loves. Heâs been saving the âare you sure youâre a man? Maybe I should checkâ card for a long time and heâs so excited to use it. Heâll even say something about Shen Yuanâs dick being so short, he should just wear a skirt and become a real manâs wife, and thatâs BULLYING, itâs NOT a kink, binghe does NOT jerk off to the thought of Shen Yuan wearing short dresses and greeting him home, he DOESNâT. (he does)Â
Before he can fulfill this amazing plan, Liu Qingge, another man in their year, barges in?? Obviously, they fight and Bingheâs chance to feminize his crush slips through his fingers
The worst thing is ??? Liu Qingge rescued Shen Yuan like some righteous prince saving the damsel in a fairy tale. Shen Yuan is not allowed to have a storybook romance with someone else! He hates Liu Qingge so much itâs unreal
It becomes impossible to corner Shen Yuan and get some time alone. He and that Qingge guy are together more and more often. Liu Qingge is in the library carrying Shen Yuanâs books now? Now theyâre always hanging out on the grass having lunch?? Theyâre discussing what electives they can take together?!?!Â
Itâs been like a month since heâs gotten to properly tease shen Yuan and he needs it bad. If he doesnât pull down shen yuanâs pants in public to embarrass him (and see his ass) soon, he might actually die.Â
Then he spots him: Shen Yuan walking to class. Unaccompanied.
Luo Binghe is so overcome with exhilarated relief, he doesnât even think about what heâs gonna do. He just runs over, ignores Shen Yuanâs screaming, throws him over his shoulder like a bag of rice, and carries him away.Â
Shen Yuan freaks the hell out because, okay, petty insults and light fighting are one thing, but heâs straight up getting kidnapped?? Thatâs not bullying anymore, thatâs a crime!!Â
Binghe knows he only has so much time before Qingge manages to find them. He needs somewhere he can hide â he races back to his room before he can plan any further. He throws Shen Yuan on the bed, locks the door, and sighs in relief.Â
Shen Yuan is sure heâs gonna die. He has no idea what he ever did to piss Binghe off so bad. Yes, he spilled his coffee, but he got him another one!Â
Binghe takes a seat on the bed as well. He averts his eyes away from him bashfully, but glances back periodically like a maiden trying to play coy. Shen yuan has no idea how to navigate whats happening. He backs up on the bed until he hits the wall and holds up a pillow like a shield, except- thereâs something underneath.Â
Itâs the cucumber patterned gag boxers he got as a joke from airplane. No one in the world would buy them. âIs- is this my underwear?âÂ
Binghe lunges at him to knocks the evidence out of Shen Yuanâs hand, but instead pushes him onto his back and ends up with his hands on either side of Shen Yuanâs head.Â
Shen Yuan is shocked in place. Binghe, on the other hand, is in bullying-cute-boy withdrawl. He sees Shen Yuan's beautiful face flustered by their position, on Binghe's bed, and POUNCES.
Now that Shen Yuan finally understands his feelings, Binghe has permission to torment him! And he does. For hours, with various tools and against every surface.Â
#i want to bully shen yuan so fucking bad#not a fic or a shortly summarized idea but a third more sinister thing#svsss#shen yuan#bingyuan#luo binghe#bingqiu#binggeyuan#modern au#allpiesforourown

Daryl finally reaching the point of the relationship where he can just surrender to the one he loves. Him, on his knees, face buried in your cunt just because he understands now just how much he loves you and can bare himself to you completely.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADD TO THIS!!! THAT PERSON HAS SINGLE HANDEDLY LEFT ME FERAL OMG!!!! i need that man, I think we ALL need that man đłđĽđłđĽ
i got uuuuu and sorryyy iâm so late to this iâm a slow writer plus life but here u go !! um this wasnât supposed to be.. all of this but i canât help myself. explodes.
18+
ââˇ
it was challenging to get daryl to sleep sometimes.
eyes peel open, gradual, slow. sleep doesnât weigh heavy on your lids, hadnât deemed the chance to for prolonged rest was difficult to come by. still, finding idleness was an almost unfamiliar casual occurring and while slow to get comfortable with, it wasnât completely unwanted. so when your muscles ache and the death in your face suffocates you, you take the chance of a bed and a falsified home even if it comes to be fleeting.
daryl sits perched on the windowsill, cigarette alight.
his dislike for new or change wasnât the case now, perhaps it was that constant uneasiness that came with the ignorance of another world. daryl, in this state of the world, didnât kneel to forged comfortâheâd told you that not with his words but with the emptiness in alexandria where his presence should be. heâs recruiting with aaron, heâs on a run, heâs not here. you understand his reservation and while you often touched convictions with him, this was a bit different, this one felt close enough to right.
you donât bother maneuvering much, only turning a curious head over in his direction. the tidied sheets beneath you ruffle in contact.
âso thatâs why i couldnât sleep.â you say and itâs light, a quip that gently prods. itâs a joke at him forgoing the spot in bed beside you for hard wood beneath him and smoke in his lungs.
daryl takes a drag and pinches it between fingers. inhale, eyes you, exhale, turns away. âright, sorry.â he apologizes for it in his seriousness, watches your eyebrows scrunch in hilarious disbelief and tips in: âlooked pretty damn sleep to me, though.â
he hadnât bothered to crack a window amidst his smoke and it infiltrates the air. it fills your lungs and keeps you from biting back at him that, yeah, you mightâve been somewhere drowned in a dreamâwhatever those conjured up to be in this timeâand itâs an odd thing. to sleep, to fall in deep enough to become unaware of the real around you, and you stick daryl on that development. perhaps things wouldnât be that simple or easy, there wouldnât be the opportunity, the comfortability in letting go for a breath.
if not for him perched right where he sits against the glass and looming around you in your vulnerability, likely ignorant to the umbrella of defense he creates.
the sun is long gone and doesnât burn against the glass like before youâd dozed, only now the enveloping darkness.
âwhen did you get back?â you ask. his crossbow leans dirty against the wall near the threshold, arrows bloodied. daryl hasnât shaken the vest or his shoes, nor the dirt on his hands and wedged beneath his fingernails. you reckon thirty minutes, though daryl surprises you.
another drag. âsun was still shininâ over ya.â he says. itâs been a long while, then. had he eaten? or had heâd smoked his few stale cigarettes and chewed on his thoughts in the stretch of time and that itself is an upsetting possibility.
you purse your lips and your locked fingers dance against eachother, thoughtful. while he seems as he always is, he isnât. thereâs a reason behind everything, the good and the bad, and this one fell between both. âcan you come over here? iâm cold.â daryl was a cautious man with little trust and that was good in this world, but right here his hesitancy to pursue not only this false town but you as well was not as pretty as good reasons go.
but that was selfish thinking and unfair to darylâs morals.
he watches you and years prior heâd been unreadable, but youâre accustomed and he looks like someone who doesnât believe your words. âitâs sweatinâ balls in here.â he unnecessarily shoots back. daryl, always running behind with your jokes, or maybe he understands but shies away from what youâre asking. daryl was always someone whoâd have to work back into accustoms if detached for a while, always slow to reciprocateâeven though he so strongly didâlest youâre persistent.
âwell, iâm shivering.â youâre saying as you make to rub two hands together to search for warmth. warmth you didnât need for it already filled you, but a tactic is a tactic.
daryl scoffs a laugh thatâs too quiet to catch, but itâs seen. he stubs out his cigarette then, marks the wood in an ugly manner. when he makes the small walk towards the bed, towards you, youâre meeting him halfway as you walk on knees to the edge.
he stops when you speak up. âyouâre not getting in bed with all that shit on, are you?â
âwas.â he confirms and shrugs and itâs humorous to see how serious he is, how he doesnât grasp onto the issue.
âtake it off, it seems uncomfortable.â
âi ainât uncomfortable.â
âdaryl.â
daryl could be good with ordersâcould be, a meticulous sort of arrangementâwhen he agreed with them. this was a mixed case whereas he seemed pulled between the two; the look in his eyes and the firm stance before you screaming iâm fine, iâm staying put. then the other end of the stick with what he eventually complied with in the form of slouched shoulders, guard down, capable of finding that same comfortability in your ways that strived for his growth that he does in his own ways.
still, he grumbles. âya killinâ me.â and then his jacket goes, his vest, his worn stitched gloves.
you know that daryl prefers to be prepared no matter the situation, doesnât like to be bared to the world for not even a breath and his heedfulness is commendable. though right here in the warm box that isnât your inauthentic bedroom but your presence, you recognize his needs are a broad category and this is one of the many.
daryl needs his own relief to come back to despite the state of the worldâeveryone else has their own, whether in another or in themselves or in between, and daryl deserved just as much.
when he goes to indulge you, two hands coming down against the mattress, you dodge. âdonât forget your shoes, dar.â and heâs all eye contact before finally crouching down. âno shoes in bed, itâs barbaric.â
âguessinâ i oughta get my underwear off, right?â he smiles a small one, sarcastic. âbeat ya to the punch.â
you shrug for the joke and he scoffs at it. he bends at the knees nevertheless, lightly hitting the floor and fingers reaching to shove themselves in the heel of his shoe. one goes and joins the pile, but before he can twin the other foot, youâre bringing a hand to his hair. heâs a bit sweaty there, strands darkened in consequence and instead of grimacing, your chest swells with pride, gratitude; darylâs a fighter and it shows even in the smallest things.
âthank you, by the way. really.â you say when you notice heâs halted his movements. he doesnât budge even when you move from strand to strand, fixing him, watching his forehead come into view. his brows and shoulders remain lax which is good, encourages you. had it been before he wouldâve been a quick hand on your forearm with alarm, unfamiliar in the intimacy, hesitant.
he doesnât look up yet. âthankinâ me for?â and against your palm he leans.
âi donât know, everythingâfor fighting.â you elaborate and itâs then that heâs lifting his head, squinted eyes sharp.
daryl was always shy eyes when commended. he holds your gaze in increments now and you take the moment to let your hands travel. theyâre slow and deliberate where they land along the expanse of his jaw and against the hairs on his face. daryl moves with you in whichever direction you think to turn him, and while itâs cute and certainly heavy intimate development on his part, you donât call him out on it for he embarrasses easily and having him shy away now was not a good call.
âainât just me.â he finally says and since he doesnât like spotlight, âitâs you, michonne, rickââ
âi know.â you cut in. daryl reads into your simple response almost immediately if the expression he holds is telling; a bit taken aback, slightly flustered, understanding. thereâs something in your chest that screams pride when daryl comes to realize when youâre making things about him, when youâre specifically singling him out, when youâre picking out all of his goods and positives and displaying them before himself.
daryl preens under your touch. the touch of yours that continues to travel, dancing in his hair, brushing against the skin of his face, running knuckles over cheekbones and forehead wrinkles. every crevice, every bump different. itâs distracting for daryl, you learned prior, lures his mind to a standstill, tugs the words back down his throat. heâs typically left with little to say to you when youâre on him like this, instead speaks with his eyes of a solace he finds between the both of you.
âyour hands.â he eventually comments.
âmy hands?â although now under scrutiny, they donât pause their exploration.
âwarm. said you were freezinâ.â
your lips purse then at his delayed reckoning, laughter at the tip of your tongue. it slips despite your efforts, low and loose, makes daryl squint in situational ignorance. at the prison, daryl had once complimented your laugh under and against the metal of the cell beds, had thrown a ânevermindâ in quickly after youâd cooed at him for it.
âwell, of course theyâre warm now.â you bring them to his neck now, tip of your thumbs caressing his ears. âstill cold all over, though.â
and instead of questioning you further, instead of coming up to engulf you in a hug, daryl brings his face into your abdomen. itâs not a punch of air that you lose, but your ability to form coherent thoughts. itâs him not exactly nuzzling, but breathing steadily into the cloth of your shirt, soft inhale, soft exhale. this means something because it always means something.
daryl hides the sudden salacious fervor on his face in the shield that your body creates. itâs obvious, so obvious, because heâs strong and unmoving where you attempt to lift his head.
while it is sudden, the dots seem to connectâdaryl, with his lack of space to ever position himself to submit, does so openly right now because there is an opening for it. while he so genuinely kneeled for his shoes, you picked up on the way his pupils dilated when he did find your eyesâever so brief during those three second variables. it was then that you knew.
âeverything okay?â you ask lightly. everything is okay, daryl is so evidently okay which is why he pursues this. you ask anyway, though. daryl says he likes verbal confirmation and reassurance from you and heâd be a hypocrite to not like for you to reciprocate.
âmhm.â itâs muffled against your body which begins to gradually curl around him, between your legs which have swamped him in. âjust ainât comfortable down here.â
âreally? you aching already?â you retort with a low laugh.
daryl doesnât say anything else, nor does he make to stand.
âdickâs hard.â is what he comes up with and itâs so sudden and not at all vague.
youâve thought it to be the case, so it doesnât surprise you much. it was apparent the moment he hide himself in what youâd call shame. shame that looked to only follow him in the structure of built up carnal strain thatâd been canned inside of him. daryl behaved like he didnât have a clue that he had it or how to exactly deal with it. when the relationship had sprouted into a much more personal manner, it was always you whoâd âhandleâ daryl even when he struggled finding it in himself to.
heâs bringing hands up and theyâre situating themselves on your waist. his hold isnât suffocating, but itâs tight, fidgeting where he tries to keep his energy levels even.
âif you want something, daryl..â you begin slowly, anticipating where this will take you both. where your hands still sit in darylâs hair, you pull again and he finally gives way and holy shit.
âask ya for it.â he finishes, and before you can ponder too long why he already looks so fucking out of it, heâs already beating you to it. âthink i busted.â he grunts around the words, fingers twitching against you and he forgoes his hold to wipe the back of his hand against his lips. it looks to be a habit that has budded from his nerves which he strives to conceal.
âdid you?..â
daryl curls his lips inwards, another habit, adjusts his knees on the floor. âwell, it ainât piss.â
âoh. you wanna clean up and come up here? we can justââ daryl was weird with embarrassment, and while it was fun to poke and prod, heâd probably string himself dry thinking back on this, so you try to move it alongânot mention it for a moment longer.
ânah.â iâll stay here is what he says with his actions, bringing his face back to your abdomen, kisses through the shirt. despite his own interference daryl is still there; he shows that he still feels the sensual crave all within himself with the way he simply picks back up regardless of the mess in his pants.
admittedly, it brings a slight tremble down into the pit of your stomach.
youâre whispering out a light okay as he proceeds, hands at your waist shifting and bringing your shirt upwards, tidbits of flesh now exposed. it seems purposeful because heâs then all dry lips and scratchy facial hair against your skin, drinking you in, dirty hands squeezing where they can.
youâre calling out his name to which he responds to with a stronger aggression in action; oddly firm presses of his lips evolving into these tiny nips of teeth, pushing against you enough to send you back onto your palms.
rare were the moments that darylâs usually subdued needs make such a sudden head. when heâs functioning one moment, high off plenty cigarettes in his normal, and the next heâs chasing you lewdly like heâs just always been without fornicationâand he has.
daryl advances south, hands still at your waist, breath fanning over your pants. theyâre of comfort with no zipper or buttons to act as a task to undo, so daryl gets to you easily. his hands shake a little as he hooks fingers in the waistband of your pants, not all nervousness but moreso an eagerness that it seems he struggles keeping at bay.
though despite this, he handles you with a certain gentleness and allows himself this moment of vulnerability, of exploration in a way that leaves you both bare in every sense.
your bottoms pull down and you help to kick them off and away.
âgentle.â you say when he stuffs a sweaty face directly into you, hands cupping your legs from beneath, spreading them enough to fit himself comfortably between. âiâm not as flexible as i used to be.â
âcanât tell.â he shoots back in his playfulness that is typically delivered dryly.
he shifts on his knees again, but doesnât seem entirely too bothered, instead doesnât spend another second without a tongue pressed wetly against you through the fabric of your garment. he laps at the cloth, grunts incoherencies, presses thumbs into your under thigh, tries to hide the not so subtle clenching in his abdomen. heâs hard again, straining and obvious, at the mercy of his bodyâs natural instinct to relieve the pressure by humping, rutting, fucking up into anything, searching for something.
âdaryl, daryl.â you hiss when he tries to get his mouth on you whole down there, not stalling for anything. âshit, youâletâs take it slow.â
and you know in his current state itâs absurd to ask, heâs already gone.
but still, he hears you because heâs reluctantly pulling away, obedient.
âalright, now take them off, please.â you order, bringing a hand to his hair again. it creates a sort of stability for yourself, whilst for daryl it only tips him more towards the edge.
and since daryl runs on orders, heâs quick to move again with hands sliding you out of the underwear and down your legs. you assist with kicking them off and away, and daryl doesnât give you a breath in between because heâs a wet tongue on you in an instant.
itâs like something shifts in himâlike something breaks, gives way to a heavily chased after reliefâseeing the way his shoulders slack. you gasp, feeling the pleasure ripple up your spine, sit hotly in your gut.
âlook at you, oh my god.â you begin to taunt and itâs s bit broken off, but still holds its weight. âyou look so right down there.â
daryl gives a groan in return, fingers squeezing in protest, but you know he believes it, too.
your chest fills with a breath when he pops off, and itâs beautiful how concentrated he seems with the task. for once, his cheeks tint an airbrush of pink, featherlight and detailing to you just how aroused he is.
to use emphasis, in his still state, you use the opportunity to reel him back in at the hair. it elicits something loud and ruined out of himâa moan, a whine almost. he breathes through his nose when heâs tongue and teeth and cheeks all over you again, and it makes your back arch. the sounds he produces alongside the wetness that you are has you bringing ankles to his backside, locking him in and darylâs moans are muffled and slightly garbled in reaction.
âyouâre gonnaââ cracked. âyouâre so good for me, youâre gonna make me cum.â
at that, he pursues you heavier now. like heâs eager to taste you, like he wouldnât miss it for the world, daryl brings a hand up to rub what he canât get. itâs wet and nasty and lewdly noisy, and your moans alike. with him using two times the pleasure, it sends you over just as fast.
your eyes squeeze tight as your body racks with the aftershocks, and daryl is ragged breaths somewhere in the void and youâre not sure if itâs him coming as well or the hand deep in his strands has him that strung out.
the wound up muscles in your body release as does your hold on him, and youâre falling to your back against the mattress.
itâs a while before your eyes are peeling open again, head lulled a bit. daryl stands to his feet again at the foot of the bed, cracked bones and all.
âhey.â he starts quietly, haphazardly wipes his mouth. he hovers over you laid out on the bed, arms encasing your head and body heat transferring. âwe alrighâ?â his concern etches outside of his tone and into his hot hand that now covers your cheek and ear. his thumb runs over your moist cheekbones and his eyes stick to yours like syrup.
you nod. âyeah.â you assure and watch his expression ease up. âiâm definitely alright. are you?â
he mimics your nod. âmhm.â
âdonât.â you say when he attempts to embrace you entirely. âshower. both of us.â and when he doesnât respondââshower. you came twice in your pants.â
daryl shoves his face in the crook of your neck then, ears red.
when the water eventually does come down on you both, itâs shameless in its lack of purity. daryl, despite the night, used a handjob from you underneath the stream before heâd grown shaky in the shoulders and grumpy in the tone, apprehensive in his age. (âainât built for another, youâre killinâ me.â)
and he would know himself best because heâs droopy eyes and clean hair against the pillows afterwards, sleep weighing him down. heâs still like he doesnât feel your gaze, but squints open an eye when you speak.
âi lied about being cold. wanted you in bed.â you smile to contain laughter.
daryl scoffs. âmhm, well .. shit worked.â

The Demon With A Heart
[Crowley x Female!Reader]
Synopsis: When Crowley saves your life, you can't help but think it was a little more than self-interest.
WC: 1858
Category: 99.9% Sexual Tension (lmfao), 0.01% Fluff + Angst? {TW: Mentions of Demons (obvi), Murder}
Crowley is too iconic not to have fics. I said what I said.
ăâ˘â˘ââ˘â˘ă
You didnât know how to react. It was as if your tongue was taken away, and you couldnât talk, no matter how much you wanted to thank the man.
No, the demon.
You stood there with wide eyes, staring at the King of Hell, Crowley. He looked the same as before: a clean suit, a snarky comment, and a look of disgust on his face. But, instead of being on the opposite side, he was wiping the blood off of the angel blade he used to kill the angel that jumped you.
He just saved youâThe King of Hell.
The very man who told Sam and Dean countless times that he doesn't do anything for free and doesnât help people without getting something out of it. Yet, here he was, standing in front of you, not asking for a single thing.
The thought was a bit unsettling.
"Purely out of self-interest, darling," He says, breaking the silence and putting the stolen blade into his jacket. "Call it a favor that I plan to collect in the future."
He was about to leave, but you couldnât let him go. Not without a thank you, at least. You didn't want him to think you didnât appreciate what he did.
"Crowley."
The man turns back around, his hands in his pockets, his expression unreadable.
"Thank you."
The corner of his mouth turned upward, forming a small smirk. He didnât say anything but rather kept his eyes on you for a second longer. He then disappeared, leaving you in the dark.
And it did leave you in the dark. For days, weeks, months. He never came for that favor, and he never brought up what happened. In fact, he barely talked to you at all. It was always towards the Winchesters.
You began to believe it was nothing but a dream. That Crowley somehow didn't save you. The angel was a fake, and this was all some sick joke. It felt like gaslighting.
But you knew what happened was real. You remembered the blood splatter and the dead corpse. The way his face contorted when he pierced the angel's heart.
It was all too real.
So, why was he ignoring you? Why did he pretend that it never happened? Was he going to hold it over your head? Or was it just the fact that the King of Hell did something nice for a human?
Was it because he⌠cared?
One night, you got your answer. It was a quiet night filled with books, tea, and soft music. At least, it was before those idiotic brothers decided to tear down the bunker in search of some book.
You couldnât remember the exact reason they needed it, but you were too tired to argue. So, you stayed in your room and tried to fall asleep.
That is until the lights went out and the emergency lights kicked on. Okay, now you were annoyed. You got up, slipped on your shoes and a coat, and walked out of your room.
"Alright, what did you two-"
You paused mid-sentence, eyes falling onto the figure in the library. The man was facing the opposite way, but you knew exactly who it was. The familiar black suit and hair gave it away.
"CrowleyâŚ"
"Hello, Darling,â he replied, turning around and smiling at you. It was almost unnerving. He didnât have a malicious aura or even an evil one. Just... a smile.
You looked behind him and noticed⌠well, nothing. You were expecting the Winchesters to be with him, and yet, it was just him.
"Where are the boys?"
"Moose and Squirrel? Ah, they're off somewhere, doing... well, you know. Something heroic, I suppose. Figured Iâd stick around⌠enjoy the scenery."
Thatâs when you looked up and understood what he meant. He was stuck, quite literally. Those devil traps they put everywhere finally did something good.
You half-expected him to bring up that 'favor' he was talking about or maybe even just demand to get out of there, but he did neither. Instead, he looked at the ground and sighed.
At the moment, the King of Hell looked just like a caged puppy, sad and alone. If he wasnât such a⌠demon, you might have even felt bad for him.
But, you left him in there, strolling along to the kitchen to find some kind of light. You were not giving up your two hours of reading due to power loss.
As you shuffled through the cabinets, looking for any form of match or lighter, the lights flickered back on.
So thatâs where the Winchesters were.
You shrugged and turned back to your room but stopped at the entrance to the library. Crowley was still there, but this time, his face was twisted. He was clearly pissed.
"Why did you do it?" The burning question you wanted answered for months finally came out. Crowley stopped his little fit and turned towards you, a confused expression on his face.
He looked like he had no idea what you were talking about.
"I do a lot of things, Chipmunk. You'll have to be more specific."
You walked towards him, resting down the candles and book on a nearby table. You didnât know why, but the need to confront him was growing.
"Save me all those months ago."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
You were getting closer, now only a few feet from him. Crowley, however, didnât back away. Instead, he watched as you moved, his expression unchanging.
"That angel couldâve killed me, yet you came out of nowhere and stabbed him. I know you don't do anything out of kindness, so why did you do it? What do I offer that no one else does?"
Crowley stayed silent for a while, not giving any indication of answering your questions.
You thought it was just a lost cause until his expression changed. It was subtle, but you caught it. The corner of his mouth turned down, and his eyes widened, then narrowed.
He almost looked ashamed.
"It's just like I said. Self-interest." He spat out, his voice sounding like venom. You almost took a step back. It still sounded like the same old Crowley, but his tone was different.
You decided to call his bluff.
"I don't believe you."
Crowley raised an eyebrow, a smirk coming across his face. He was amused by the sudden attitude, but it didnât last long.
"And what makes you say that?"
"I saw the way you looked at me after you saved me. Hesitancy, almost. Like you were unsure. As if..."
The King of Hell stared at you, waiting for the last part of your statement. He was eager but not for the answer. No, he knew what you were going to say.
He was just waiting to hear it come out of your mouth.
"You care."
Those words hung in the air, both of you processing it. Crowley continued to stare at you, the smirk disappearing, leaving his face neutral. He had a blank expression.
A silence grew, the atmosphere turning awkward. It wasn't until the demon let out a loud sigh and looked to the side that it was broken.
"Youâre really pulling on the heartstrings, Chipmunk,â he muttered, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "If I had one, I'd say it was aching."
"Do you?"
You knew what you were implying. Crowley was the King of Hell, the ruler of the damned. He was the furthest thing from human, yet he could walk among them and, sometimes, be mistaken for one.
Was it possible for him to be human or even have emotions?
Crowley looked at you and frowned, clearly not liking the topic. But he didn't deny it. It was a strange sightâthe King of Hell, frowning and silent.
It was almost adorable.
"I'm not asking for anything. I just⌠want an honest answer."
"Well, I am a demon, love,â He stated, his tone changing to a more playful one. âHonesty isnât quite in the job description."
"Crowley."
You were starting to get impatient, and it showed. Your voice was firm, and your posture was tense. You wanted an answer, and you were determined to get it.
The demon in question let out another sigh and looked at the ceiling as if praying for a quick escape.
"You're a pain, you know that? It's exhausting." He grumbled, rolling his eyes. "But, I suppose, since you asked nicely..."
The man looked at you, his lips pursed. He was still hesitating, which only made you more curious.
"Yes, I care. About you. Happy?"
You blinked a few times, processing the information. Did the King of Hell, the person known for not giving a shit, just admit he cares?
"I-" You started, not knowing what to say. It was a surprise but not an unwelcome one. Crowley wasn't exactly a bad guy, well, a demon.
"Do you actually mean that?"
"Now thatâŚ" Crowley started, his voice low and deep. He leaned towards you, making you back up, but the wall soon prevented you from going any further.
He was inches away, his breath hitting your face. You could see his eyes staring into yoursâa pretty brown, like a mocha latte.
"âŚIs the kind of question that will get you in trouble, love."
You werenât sure what he was planning, but you didn't care. The way his eyes were looking at you, the smirk on his face, the closeness...
He was probably expecting you to back away, but he was wrong. You were an avid reader, obsessive even. This scene wasn't new, nor was it shocking.
The only shocking part was the fact that you were the one in it. And, well, the fact that you didnât mind it.
"Unlike you,â you whispered, a small smirk on your face. "I donât care."
Your response made him pause for a moment, squinting his eyes and giving you a confused look. It only lasted a few seconds, though. Soon, he understood, and a chuckle escaped his lips.
"TouchĂŠ"
You truly believed you were about to lose your chance with the man upstairs, but loud footsteps interrupted you.
"Crowley, you slimy son of a bitch! If youâre not here, we are going to-"
Dean stopped talking as he rounded the corner, seeing you and Crowley close. His expression was shocked, almost comical.
"The hell is going on here?"
You and Crowley both turned to look at Dean, a look of annoyance on the King of Hell's face. Sam came around the corner as well, sharing the same look of confusion.
Crowley gave you one last glance, a bit of disappointment in his eyes, before taking a step back. His attention moved on to the two hunters, his usual smile returning.
And despite the annoyance in the air and the confusion, the only thing that came across your mind was another question that you were sure would take control of your sleep schedule once again.
"Hello, boys," He purred, his arms moving to his side. He was back to his old self, not showing a single sign of what happened moments ago.
Had the beauty thawed the beast?

Angels
peter maximoff x reader
warnings: peter being a goober, he watches porn for like half a second, it's highkey a stranger things crossover, my dialogue is goofy as hell
word count: 5,240
a/n: had a lot of fun with this one !! a while back, my buddy @quickandsilvers (now deactivated, and i can't find their new acc) requested a fic where he works in a video store and makes a fool of himself. i think i strayed from their prompt a lot, but i hope they don't mind. sorry about the stranger things crossover !! it happened naturally while writing it, and i couldn't stop thinking about steve and peter interacting. lol
Like a responsible adult, Peter spent the span of an entire month âstudyingâ for his GED final. His rapid fire attention span made focusing a tough feat, even past his years of high school age hyperactivity. Which was the very reason he had to study so friggin hard for his GED in the first place. Peter never graduated high school. And because he never graduated high school, he didnât really know what real studying was. âStudyingâ for him mostly entailed speed reading, once or twice over. Before he called it quits and bolted away to doâŚPeter stuff.
He was honestly really proud of himself for sticking it out, though. Much to his motherâs most pleasant surprise. Peter carried a perfect attendance streak through all his classes. A wildly stark contrast to his self proclaimed, unmatched ditch streak back in high school. In hindsight, that wasnât something worth boasting about.
But all his hard work and bonafide effort proved supremely disappointingâŚwhen he flunked the final anyway.
Peterâs chest ached, as though someone tore his heart out, stomped on it, then double tapped for good measure. In a fit of unbridled frustration, Peter raced across the entire planet to burn out his rage. His blood boiled hot in his veins. After circling the globe about a gajillion times, he finally skidded to a stop. Somewhere in Indiana.
His clothes were all tattered and covered in holes. Burned from supersonic force. The soles of his favorite shoes turned to ash, crying smoke like a bonfire. Painful blisters littered his feet. But in his defeated haze, he couldnât find the energy to care. Barefoot and blistered, Peter walked to the nearest payphone, his head tipped back in shame.
He could only imagine how devastated his mom would be.
It broke Peterâs heart, knowing heâd have to call her and ruin her day. After she promised to take him and his sisters out for a celebratory dinner. All you can eat Chinese! - she said. Being on the receiving end of bad news was one thing. But delivering said news to oneâs mother - after an entire lifetime spent letting her down? That sucked unimaginably more.
At the payphone - after tossing his desecrated shoes in the trash - Peter hesitantly brought the handset to his ear. Deep breath in. Now, breathe out. He leaned against the glass of the phone booth. Over the line, his motherâs voice lost all liveliness. And a moment later, Wanda took over instead, sounding majorly peeved off. She threw all kinds of accusations at him - Did you even try, Piet? I thought you were taking this seriously! You said you studied! You totally dashed momâs hopes!
Peter rolled his finger through one of the holes in his Queen shirt. Mannnn. Friggin sucks. He got that one from the totally sick Hot Space Tour. He even took Wanda with him, and they had the most righteous time. With her so disappointed on the phone like this, it hurt to recall any fond memories. Peter pinched the bridge of his nose. He tried cracking a half-assed joke to lighten the mood.
âSooooooâŚno Chinese tonight then?â
Yeah, nah. Sis didnât take to that one too well. Peter hated arguing with her, but the two spat back and forth for about five minutes. Peter bumped his head against the glass as his stress ran up to mach ten. Gathering whatever patience he had left - a microscopic amount, at this point - he apologized, told his sister he loved her, and hung up. Once he stepped outside of the phone booth, he heaved a long groan.
Peterâs fingers twitched at his sides. Taking a quick glance upward, he noticed a nearby video store. A Family Video, nestled in a strip mall next to an arcade. Narrowing his eyes, Peter chewed his lip in contemplation.
And he made a supremely stupid move.
A millenia passed since Peter gave into his klepto compulsions. Maybe old habits die hard, as they say.
At the Hawkins PD, the chief lingered nearby in a rickety, metal chair, a cigarette dangling from his lips. The night seemed to drag for eons, as Peter paced barefoot in restless circlesâŚwithin the confines of a lonesome jail cell. Since Hawkins was such a small town, hardly any of the feds were familiar with the X-Men. Mutants were a rare commodity. They sooner thought Peter was a hobo the chief picked up off the street.
Come next morning, Peter got an earful from Chuck. Thankfully, the generous prof forgave Peter for his colossal fuck-ups. He even paid Peterâs bail. And while the speedster felt even more sick with guilt because of it; he was grateful he wouldnât have to spend another second in nowhere town Indiana.
Tormentous boredom aside; for some reason, the place gave Peter the creeps.
Falling victim to his own compulsions proved a major setback on all fronts. After Chuck chewed Peter out over the phone, he broke even more bad news. Apparently, the Family Video manager made a major stink about Peterâs thievery. Even called in a complaint to Xavierâs school. The guy went so far as to blame mutants for their âdishonesty.â A completely baseless generalization. All because of some dumb knuckleheadâs reckless behavior.
Chuck convinced the asshole to let Peter off the hook. Only if the speedster made up for it by working a summerâs job at Family Video. A short-term punishment. At least until Autumn, when Peter got another shot at his GED. The professor basically grounded Peter from X-Men stuff. Awesome. Heck, technically, he grounded him from the mansion altogether. Cool beans. Thumbs up. Hunky dory.
Hell no. Peter was an adult. Not a teenager who needed to be disciplined after disobeying papaâs orders. He didnât even really have a papa. In fact, papa disappeared off the face of the planet just a few years back.
Peter digressed. Whatever, right? Grown men messed up all the time. So what if he made a few minor missteps on the road to personal development?
And he wouldâve argued these points, had something in Chuckâs honest voice not guilted him into silence.
Hopefully, he wouldnât have to wear a stupid vest or anything.
The sweltering hot month of June.
Quicksilver should be out kicking ass, causing trouble, stealing hearts (playing video games, tampering with tech, being a total nerd).
Instead, he found himself leaning on the counter of a Family Video register in Indiana.
Peter had never worked an everymanâs retail job in his life. And holy smokes, was it slow. The days ran slower than a sloth in cement shoes. At any given moment, Peter swore he was nanoseconds away from dying of boredom. Literally. Call him melodramatic, but the monotony of day-to-day living sucked the speedy soul out of him. Only a few weeks passed since he âjoined the Family Video team.â But all he ever did was idle behind the counter like a chud, gorging on snacks and watching MTV.
Whenever the news reported another X-Men victory, achieved without the help of the teamâs one and only speedster; Peter felt the urge to run around the globe again. All he wanted was to shake off his temperament until his legs gave out. But alas. His feet stayed planted on freshly mopped linoleum, in the confines of VHS rental hell.
On the flip side, at least his new shoes were still intact.
Peter spent his days doing mind-numbing activities like reorganizing shelves, sorting movies by genre, and mopping floors. Playing with the label maker was kinda fun. Totally not even a little boring. Nope. Peter never daydreamed some psycho might rob the place, just so heâd have an excuse to be Quicksilver again.
Why would he? When he could play with that sweet label maker.
Yawn.
Thankfully, he wasnât completely alone. Not that he minded much either way. Solitude and Peter went together like Han Solo and Chewy. But another guy worked the same shift as Peter. Some dude named Steve, with great hair and a metric fuckton of pins all over his vest. He swore up and down, his friend Robin insisted he cover himself head to toe in them. Because something something âchicks totally dig a guy with accessories.â
Peter never met Robin, since her hours were all jacked up. But judging by the Rainbow Brite, Care Bear, and Garbage Pail Kids pins all over Steveâs vest; Peter knew she had to be pulling her palâs leg.
WhichâŚalright. Cool. He could respect that.
Steve was a decent enough guy and super chill to talk to. He got along great with the group of hellions who always came in, looking for nerdy flicks like Clash of the Titans. Peter once spent a whole afternoon debating Star Wars logistics with them; arguing whether or not Ewoks had any justifiable place in Return of the Jedi. But, come on, those fuzzballs were kinda cool.
And Peter refused to admit he had a few Ewok figures in his collection back in Westchester.
Neither Steve, nor his munchkins seemed to have any qualms about mutants. The only thing he ever bitched about was Peterâs effortless ability to stay in tip-top shape.
âItâs so bullshit, man.â He blatantly complained, âYou can pig out on Twinkies all day and still look like that. What does your metabolism run on? Jet fuel?â
Peterâs beady eyes darted swiftly back and forth, across the pages of Lord of the Rings. One of Steveâs little minions gave the speedster a used copy. Worn at the edges. Barely held together by the spine. Peter hadnât read a real book by choice since middle school. As he skimmed through it at a remarkable pace, he spoke through a creamy bite of Twinkie.
âFlux Capacitor.â
Shame. Sucks for Steve. The dude was obviously good looking. But he somehow fumbled his attempts at flirting with cute chicks. Not to mention, his opportunities came so few and far in between, with Peter there to steal the show. And while some small-town ladies had a tendency to scrunch their noses and sneer at the presence of a mutant - others recognized him as a hero. One of the X-Men. On the rare chance a cutie walked in with her besties following along; they sometimes whispered amongst each other.
"Isnât he with the X-Men?â âOh my god, he is!â âWhich one is he?â âI think heâs the fast one.â âHow fast is he though?â âOh, heâs, like, so mega fast. Like a speeding bullet on legs.â âWhoa. Heâs kinda cute.â âWhat do you think his calves look like?â âI like his hair.â âWhatâs he doing here in Hawkins?â âDo you think heâs undercover?â âHe looks so ripped.â
Chewing his gum and secretly listening in, Peter cheesed a grin from ear to ear like a doofus. And he soon fell into a shameless habit, letting awestruck girls cop a feel of real, superhero muscles and speedster calves. Hard as vibranium, vascular like Commodore 64 wiring.
What?? Give him a break! Back in Westchester, girls never gave him a second glance.
The endless quiet and steady pace of everyday living drove Peter up a freaking wall after a while. A month in, he felt himself going stir crazy. Peter continuously thought about zipping out for a quick run. One whole second tops. Just to make a break for a slushie at the gas station down the street. Steve even swore he wouldnât rat Peter out if he bailed and came back. Cuz, like, seriouslyâŚwho would notice?
But in the back of his mind somewhere, Peter heard Chuckâs voice. A guilty reminder to slow his roll. Stop and smell the roses. The speedster had his impulses, sure. But he wasnât so weak willed. Peter knew, deep in his heart, he could do better. Hell, he was better. A true master of self control. No problem-o.
ExceptâŚhe totally wasnât.
Hand to god, Peter was, and would always be a colossal jackass.
He affirmed this brutally honest fact with himself the first time he met you.
That night, the store seemed like a barren ghost town. Not a customer in sight. Most of the townâs locals were out having fun at a traveling carnival. Steve even took the day off to chaperone his hobbit posse. He stopped by just to give Peter his pin-covered vest, and left his esteemed colleague to stew in his own boredom. Wasting away behind the counter, restless as ever; Peter dreamed of carnival funnel cake.
And why not sneak away for a quick sec? Just to grab himself something sweet. He liked to think he earned it.
Peter zipped to the carnival, paid for some funnel cake, tied Steveâs shoelaces together, and returned to the store in a flash. Leaning comfortably back on a metal stool; he stuffed his gullet with fried delights. Sweet, doughy goodness. Powdered sugar coated his fingers and dusted the corners of his mouth. Peter kept his legs hiked up, dirty sneakers crossed on the countertop. Whatevs. Heâd wipe âem down before he closed up shop in two hours.
His lidded eyes gaped lazily at one of theTVs hanging from the ceiling. Peter shamelessly watched a wildly inappropriate porno. A filthy flick he snatched from the restricted section and popped in. Partly out of boredom. Mostly out of morbid curiosity. Angels of Passion. Peter sat through an hour of hilariously raunchy scenes - all featuring steamy, angel hanky panky. Talk about divine intervention. He snickered to himself as heat pooled in his cheeks.
A blonde bombshell gyrated her hips in some dudeâs lap, rolling her bush, bouncing to the beat of a catchy, unidentifiable song. Her explicit moans echoed lewdly over that earworm of a tune. Jesus, she was really going for it. Looked like she, uhâŚliked it, actually. Blood in Peterâs cheeks rushed south at warp speed. He felt a familiar tightening in his groin. With funnel cake crammed between his powdery lips, he adjusted himself in his jeans. Smearing powdered sugar carelessly over his crotch.
And he nearly choked to death when a voice he didnât recognize called his name.
âWow. Quicksilver? Is that you? Whatcha watchin?â
Oh. Oh, it wasnât just his name name. But his hero name. Peter whipped his head around, his dark eyes widening as he met yours. Brows raised. Gazing humorously at him as though he were a bozo. Just his luck. A random customer - a very cute customer - picked the most optimal time to walk in. And there he was, the X-Menâs famous speedster; covered in powdered sugar, cheeks puffed like a chipmunk, Care Bear and Rainbow Brite pins all over his vest, a stiffy in his jeans, a nasty porno playing in the background.
What a huge lamebrain, you probably thought.
Peter blinked, and so did you. Time seemed to stretch in a long, awkward moment. Someone should honestly just shoot him and be done with it. From his perspective, an hour passed before he got his shit together. But from your perspective, he was there in a second. Leaning casually over the counter on his elbow, his other hand on his hip. The TV blared reruns of MTV music videos, with Madonna singinâ loud. The very same TV you caught him watching dirty movies on - just for the hell of it. Purely for entertainmentâs sake, mind you.
And bizarrely enough, your expression held no judgment.
Furrowing his mercury brows, Peter wiped the last trace of powdered sugar from his lips. He cleared his throat and gave you a careless nod of his head. Stay cool. Stay collected. It wasnât like his mom caught him with his pants down or something. He put on his best customer service smile. A grin so fake, his dimples vanished into hiding. Time to get the ball rolling before he lost whatever dignity he had left.
Peter hated Indiana. Like, really hated it.
He spoke fast, the words tumbling past his lips at the speed of light.
âThat?Thatwasnothing.â Peter blurted out, his mouth running a hundred miles an hour. His fingers tapped anxiously on the countertop. Your curious gaze flicked down to them, before looking into his coke-brown eyes again. His face erupted in flames as he kept rambling, punctuating each sentence with an uneasy laugh, âI wasnât watching anything. Just some lame religious documentary. Yâknow. A real snore fest. I swear, I was this close to takinâ a nap.â
You laughed.
No lie, he wasnât expecting you to laugh like that. The sound sliced through the tension in the air, catching him off guard. Peterâs breath caught in his throat. He swallowed hard, his Adamâs apple bobbing. His forced smile curled up involuntarily, revealing his dimples for real this time.
âYeah? Huh. For some lame documentary, you looked pretty into it. Iâm surprised you heard me at all.â
âEh, youâre not wrong. Puts a whole new meaning to goinâ heels to Jesus, doesnât it?â
You let out another laugh, and your voice cracked. Blush creeped over your face from the neck up. A surge of shyness overtook Peter. Running a hand up through his hair, he searched for any words to say. And then he remembered he had a job to do.
âAnyway. Sorry. Can I help you with something?â Peter smoothed out his (Steveâs) vest, brushing powdered sugar from it like pesky snow.
âNo biggie, dude. Just wondering where your horror section is.â
Peter arched his brow, âHorror, huh?â
With a cheeky smirk, he disappeared, leaving a swift gust of wind in his wake. You gasped a small peep. Pressing your hands to the counter, you leaned forward as though you were looking for him. He took the opportunity to admire your ass from where he stood between the aisles. Politely, of course.
âTheyâre over here.â The speedster called from his spot, keeping himself nonchalantly propped against a stand of horror mags. Your gaze flitted down to the Walkman hanging at his hip. His easy going stance made you laugh yet again - man, you made him feel like the king of comedy. You made your way to the horror section. Peter kept his eyes on you while you glanced over the tapes, âYou lookinâ for anything in particular, orrrrrâŚâ
âNope, just looking.â
âJust looking. Got it.â Peter clicked his tongue, nodding, âCool. Well, if you need any recsâŚI mean, Iâm kind of a movie aficionado, soâŚâ
âOh, you are, are you?â
Aw, you actually humored him.
âPfffbbt. Yeah. My twin sis is, like, super into sitcoms and stuff. But Iâm the movie guy of the family.â
âAnd what kinda movies do you like?â
Peter didnât miss a beat, âStar Wars, definitely. But I like Bladerunner too. ET. Robocop. Alien. Oh! Rockyâs awesome too. Scarface. I can do a crazy good Tony Montana impression. Clint Eastwood movies are cool. Conan the Barbarian. Canât get enough of Arnold. And Iâm not sayinâ Flash Gordonâs my favorite, but-â
You gaped at Peter like you saw him get hit by a car or something. He stopped himself short, pausing as he named off movies on his fingers.
âWhat? Not a fan?â
âNot a fan of wh-â
âFlash Gordon?â
âIs that what you said? I didnât understand a single word of that, dude!â
Oh. Guess he got a little too amped up. The apples of Peterâs cheeks turned pink. Scratching the back of his neck, he sheepishly laughed.
âSorry, uhâŚlemme start overâŚI like Star Wars.â
âSo do I! I love Star Wa-â
Peter raised his head, fixing you with a squinty eyed, analytical look - mostly playful. He quickly cut you off again.
âWhat about Ewoks?â
âTheyâre like little teddy bears! Whatâs not to love?â
Points for you, cute, mystery babe.
âOh, bitchinâ. Yeah, uh-â
And like a huge doofus, Peter leaned a little too hard against the magazine stand. It tumbled to the floor as he knocked it over unintentionally. Catching himself, he flashed his teeth in a humiliated smile.
âUhâŚI totally meant for that to happen.â He clarified.
Even though you laughed yet again - and sounded so, unfairly cute too - Peter vanished to the restroom to smack himself in the face a few times. Returning only to clean up the fallen magazines. Another microsecond later, he appeared behind the counter. At the register again. His summer hellscape. Purgatory.
And for now, after making such an ass of himself, heâd leave you be. Let you come to him.
You eventually did.
âJust these.â You muttered bashfully, sliding a few tapes across the counter.
Peter glanced up to look at you every few beats. Tapping away at the keypad, his agile fingers danced across the keys with finesse. And despite the speed at which he normally worked, there was an unmistakable lag in his movements. Almost deliberate. He took special care as he typed your information and logged your rentals. It was as if he prolonged the interaction on purpose, drawing out everything at a leisurely pace.
Very unlike Quicksilver.
You eyed the pins all over his (Steve's) vest.
"Nice pins." You said.
"Thanks. Care Bears are the shit."
You held back another giggle, covering your mouth to conceal it.
âSay, uhmâŚforgive me if Iâm being too nosy. But what are you doing all the way out here in Indiana, Quicksil-â You paused, tilting your head innocently to the side. Your eyes squinted into thin slits as you read his nametag, âPeeeter? Peter, yeah.â
Peter flashed a lazy, cat-like grin, snapping his fingers and throwing a finger gun your way.
âBingo, you got it. But, yeah, everyone else calls me Quicksilver. Except for the oldies who have no clue who I am. Itâs insane being recognized sometimes. Cuz Iâm just a glorified track-and-field star who ended up a wage monkey, I guess. The job sucks ass, honestly.â He chuckled, leaning against the counter, resting his weight on an elbow, âAs for what Iâm doinâ here? Itâs top secret X-Men business.â
âOoooh! What, likeâŚsome kinda covert op-â
âCovert operation? YeeeeeaaaaaahhhâŚnah, Iâm totally messinâ. Letâs just say I got into some trouble and this is my punishment.â Peter chuckled softly, glancing at the films you picked out. His eyes widened as he scanned the titles, letting out a low whistle, âHâoooh. Some pretty gritty stuff here. These are brutal. Blood, guts, limbs flyinâ all over the place. You tryinâ to give yourself nightmares?â
âEh, itâs all fake anyway. Just cheesy, dumb fun.â You giggled, taking the horror flicks from him. A jolt of electricity shot through him as your fingers brushed his own. The contact was brief, but it left a flutter in his stomach he couldnât shake. Parting your pretty lips, you teased, âTheyâre way more interesting than any lame, religious documentaries.â
Peter raised a brow and gave you a bemused look, your playful comment catching him by surprise. He crossed his strong arms, restlessly tapping his finger against his bicep.
âMhm. But that âdocumentaryâ had some pretty hot angels, not gonna lie.â He joked. Peter smirked, his eyes flickering up and down, giving you a quick once-over. He snapped his fingers again, keeping his tone casual, âHey, speaking of, are you gonna be winginâ it back to the pearly gates anytime soon? Or are you stickinâ around for a while?â
Aha! So, you werenât immune to his natural charm. Your eyes shot open, your blush sending a righteous wave of satisfaction buzzing through him. Peter pressed his tongue to the inside of his cheek and wiggled his brows. His confidence soared beyond the stars. Shrugging off any remnants of awkwardness, he eased himself back into a state of carelessness. You broke into another cute giggle fit.
You scratched the back of your neck, looking bashfully down at your shoes.
âNice save. I think that one actually made me blush.â
Peter blinked laxly, drawing out a satisfied hum.Â
âOh, yeah, it did for sure. Looks cute on you. What can I say? I aim to please.â
A warm smile graced his face as he slid you the last tape.
âFlash Gordon?â He asked.
If you blushed any more, youâd probably explode.
âI couldnât keep up with the way you were talkingâŚbut you mentioned that one. You said it was one of your favorites, right?â
Peterâs heart skipped a beat.
The banter between the two of you seemed to flow so naturally. Time lost all meaning. And as the minutes passed and you said your goodbyes, moving towards the doors; Peterâs foot tapped at a frenzied pace. A powerful urge to chase after you swarmed him like a pack of angry bees. He knew he wouldnât be staying in Indiana for much longer. Only a month more, at the most. But, manâŚthere was something about you.
Ah, screw it. Act now, face the consequences later.
A fwip, and Peter materialized before you at the doors. You stumbled back and erupted in another surprised squeal. His hands instinctively reached out, grabbing your shoulders to steady you before you fell.
âSorry! Sorry. Uh, any chance youâd wanna stick around for a while longer? Itâs just so dead here tonight. We could kick it back, chill, and hang. And fingers crossed, I promise I wonât make you watch any weird, religious docs or nothinâ.â
Miraculously, you agreed. Peter couldnât believe his luck. And he spent the remaining few minutes of his shift, along with the rest of that night, hanging out with some cutie he met on a whim.
Maybe Robin was right. It was the vest, wasn't it? Chicks were totally into guys with accessories.
The impossibly hotter month of July.
Some might call Peter a little irresponsible. And true to form, he was. But you were legit the most fun thing to happen to him in months. Up there with the bitchinâ funnel cake he swiped from the carnival, the same night he met you. He hadnât stopped thinking about it since. Both you, and the funnel cake.
Carpe diem or whatever.
In the cramped shadows of a video store supply closet, Peter pulled you oh-so-close against his body. Hot as hellfire. His heartbeat ran on bubbly fumes of anticipation. Peterâs chapped lips confidently claimed yours, a moment after you gave him a bashful peck and confessed the cutest thing ever-
âPleaaaase donât go back to Westchester!! I really really like you. I think you totally rock. Iâm gonna miss you too much if you leave.â
Dâawww. You were all soft on him. Your pouty lips and innocent eyes made his chest warm and tingly. Peter never imagined someone could win him over so easily. But after the front doors chimed, and you walked into the store wearing a Grace Under Pressure shirt - of which you told him you wore only because he got you into Rush; Peter thought he heard wedding bells. But, ohâŚwait. No. The doors chimed again.
Peter felt his resolve instantly weaken around you. Whatever aloof front of speedster confidence he held onto seemed to melt away. Mostly. Partially.
In the closet, he grinned into the kiss, tasting your giggles on his tongue as he coaxed you into something deeper. You were such an undeniable sweetheart. A ray of sunshine, casting light on the most boring summer of his life. Clinging bashfully to his intense kisses, you followed the motion of his tongue. Your own tongue raveled delicate threads with his. Overzealous, he tangled those threads in frantic knots. Peter breathed the softest groan, running strong hands down your back and just above-
Passionate rock songs rang out love ballad riffs in his head, and the music halted to a disappointing stop when - all at once, a veil of blinding light washed over you both. Moment ruined. What asshole would even dare? You pulled away from his kiss, but an eager Peter chased your lips. He only stopped himself once he noticed a figure looming in the closet doorway. Steve looked unamused, holding a broom and dustpan in hand.
âCan I help you?â Peter sarcastically quipped.
âReally, man? Really?â Steve scoffed, cheeks pinkening. Clearing his throat, his dark eyes shifted. Away from the couple getting a little too cozy. He stated in a matter-of-fact way, âFYI, youâre still on the clock, yanno? Jesus.â
âJesus? Iâm flattered, Harrington, but you can just call me Peter.â
A soft snicker erupted from your swollen lips. Your small hands curled shamefully into Peterâs work vest, narrowly avoiding the band pins stuck in the fabric. Ultimately, you failed to keep your giggles at bay. Peter always had a way of making you laugh til you cried. His own hands rested just above your booty, a centimeter away from some spicy grab action. Damn you, Steve. Damn you. Teasing an indignant sigh, Peter reached out to lazily snag the door handle.
âEver heard of knocking?â He joked before easing the door closed, sealing your cute chuckles inside.
The icy cold, freeze-your-balls-off month of January. Post New Years.
Bundled up in a warm, turtleneck sweater and matching, black jeans; Peter cozied up next to you on the sofa. At his momâs place, Wanda was perched comfortably on the floor. She kept her back against the foot of the couch close to Peter. In one of the loveseats, Lorna sat with her legs tucked under her. A blanket draped over her small frame. The faint hum of infomercials in the background went ignored, as Peter fell into a long winded info dump about the Lord of the Rings.
Peterâs mother padded into the room from the kitchen. A hand-made shawl covered her shoulders, knitted by Wanda and given to Magda as a gift. Carrying several glass bottle sodas, she passed one out to each of her kids before delivering the last one to you. Magda breathed a chuckle. She noticed the way you narrowed your eyes, as you struggled to follow Peterâs speedy rambling. His family seemed to have no problem keeping up. They understood every word, without asking him to stop and reiterate.
Lorna rolled her eyes affectionately. Wanda gazed up at her brother like he held all the secrets of the universe - and she wanted the details on every single one.
When Peterâs rambling eventually ceased, his mother asked him if he had any plans for the future. He poked inside his empty box of chow mein with a pair of chopsticks. A bit embarrassed, Peter grinned. Now that he finally scored his GED - he knew exactly what he wanted to do. He just hadnât told anyone aside from Wanda yet. She patted Peter on the knee. A gesture of encouragement, pushing him to open up. With a timid sigh, he confessed - he wanted to teach at Xavierâs.
He got a big olâ hug from mom for that one.
When she left for work, Peter snuggled up on the couch with you and his sisters. You were all crammed in like warm penguins on a chilly night. Until Peter randomly pushed himself out of the pile. He stumbled forward, checking his watch. Waving his soda in your face, he winked.
âBabe, hold this for me? I almost forgot I wanted to do something.â
Before you could ask, he zipped away and returned in a nanosecond. Peter threw himself into the cuddle puddle.
âWhereâd you even go?â You asked, scooting aside to give him more room.
Peter snatched his soda and shrugged, lazily smirking.
âDropped by Family Video. Tied Steveâs shoelaces together.â

NSFW ALPHABET WITH LUKE CASTELLANâŚ
warning! this fic contains- a lot of nsfw headcannons, all varying. soft!dom!luke. afab reader.
18+ mdni !
(also keep submitting your guys nasty thoughts i love reading them lowkey & do you guys want dark luke version?)
A = aftercare (what theyâre like after sex)
lukeâs all over you after sex, holding you in his arms and asking dozens of questions to make sure you liked it and arenât hurting. he massages your plump skin, trying to soothe any future soreness and because he likes to touch you in a non-sexual way. unless you want it be, of course.
B = body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partnerâs)
his favorite part of himself would have to be his hands. he loves to make you writhe and squirm on his fingers, curling and pumping them inside your wet heat. itâs also so easy for him to grab and manhandle you as he pleases with the size of them.
as for you, he loves your thighs. he doesnât care about the size or any scars, heâs just completely obsessed with squeezing the flesh. it could be while heâs sitting next to you at the bonfire or while heâs eating you out, but he is always groping them somehow.
C = cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
at camp half-blood, thereâs a low supply of condoms and birth control is only given out for medical reasons, so heâs usually forced to pull out. most of the time he likes to cum in your mouth, and occasionally on your tits. although, there was this one time you let him cum inside, on the promise that he bought some plan b from the dionysus kids, who snuck out into the city every so often and stole a bunch of shit.
D = dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
he likes to be dominated. it started one night when you felt frisky and rode him, whispering praises into his ear while bouncing carelessly. something snapped inside his brain that day, and he developed a new desire to be under your control. but he has a reputation to uphold, so itâs rare he letâs you take charge.
E = experience (how experienced are they? do they know what theyâre doing?)
heâs definitely not inexperienced. lukeâs a good looking guy, so itâs no surprise that heâs had a few girlfriends before you. he grew to be decent in bed, knowing how to get a girl off while still pleasing himself. with that being said, he still had a lot to learn while dating you. thereâs no real porn in camp besides some old playboy magazines his brothers stole, so he just had to go off what he heard girls liked.
F = favorite position (this goes without saying)
luke likes to stick with the classic missionary, mainly to see your face and your tits, but also because of his lack of knowledge to other positions. if heâs had a bad day and feeling rough, heâll try doggy, although it usually ends in him flipping you around and fucking you on your back.
G = goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
typically heâs pretty serious, too busy spewing out mindless praises to crack a stupid joke. every once in a while heâll softly laugh at something dumb, but thatâs mainly him just being pussy drunk and happy at everything.
H = hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
not clean shaved, but well trimmed. heâs got a little bit of a bush, but nothing dramatic or anything that would irritate your skin.
I = intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
he grew up treating women with uttermost respect, and thinks sex is only for real relationships. in other words, heâs not a believer in hook up culture. lukeâs only interesting in fucking if thereâs strings attached, mainly because thereâs a strong chance of him falling in love after getting intimate with someone.
J = jack off (masturbation headcanon)
the hermes cabin is packed, so thereâs not a lot of places for him to jack off. if he canât see you and is really desperate, heâll do it quietly and quickly in the shower, but overall, he doesnât feel the need to that often. i mean, why use his own hand if he can use yours?
K = kink (one or more of their kinks)
heâs typically a vanilla person, besides the whole secret sub kink. unless weâre talking about post tlt dark!luke, in which case thatâs a whole other story. (would you guys want a different alphabet based on that?) but anyways, heâs got a huge thing for praise. complimenting you helps him get off on itâs own, but when you turn the tables and start telling him how good heâs doing, thatâs when he really starts feeling it.
L = location (favorite places to do the do)
basically any private places around, whether that be one of the empty cabins or a secluded spot in the woods. with no other alternatives, heâll find a way to make anywhere work.
M = motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
literally just you. heâs fascinated with anything you do, even something as simple as brushing your teeth or waking up all disheveled and groggy in the morning. that doesnât mean he sees everything as sexual, but thereâs nothing more of a turn on at night than you.
N = no (something they wouldnât do, turn offs)
not really into anal, just prefers just good old p in v. if you asked he would be willing to try, but he wouldnât never suggest it. he knows it can be really painful, and he wouldnât want to hurt you for his own pleasure. this includes pegging, mainly because it sounds like it would hurt him.
O = oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
he loves loves LOVES giving head. thereâs nothing hotter to him than eating you out, and sometimes you have to pull him away because heâs still going after your second orgasm. and heâs so good at it, too. he knows every every spot that makes your moan like the back of his hand.
heâs into receiving head, too. the innocent look you send up while on your knees and kitten licking the tip makes him go fucking insane.
P = pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
like mentioned before, heâs a believer in intimacy. it usually includes slow and hard thrusts and him taking his time with you. although sometimes at the end, he speeds up, eagerly chasing both of your highs.
Q = quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
not really big on quickies, but with such a busy schedule, it tends to happen more often than not. again, heâs big on taking it steady, so a quick fuck behind the shed isnât ideal.
R = risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
if youâre cool with it, heâs most likely cool with it, or at the very least heâll try. heâs down for some risk, as long as itâs not hurting anyone. sometimes youâll fuck in semi-public places just for the risk of getting caught, although no where near any kids.
S = stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
heâs good at lasting a while, but not at multiple rounds. if youâre just going straight at it, he could last for a maybe twelve minutes, depending on the situation. but he can also make himself finish quicker if needed. as for rounds, usually itâs just one or two.
T = toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
honestly, i donât think owns any toys. itâs hard to his hands on get condoms alone, so he canât even imagine trying to get any sort of toys. (he would find a way if you asked, though) he prefers it plain and simple, just using his body to help you climax.
U = unfair (how much they like to tease)
surprisingly, heâs always down for some teasing. nothing painfully time consuming, but just a minute of running his dick through your folds before sticking it in. although he hates when you tease him, and wonât hesitate to take what he wants if youâre acting up.
V = volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
he groans a little, but in most situations you two are forced to be somewhat quiet. if youâre on top, heâll occasionally just moan and whimper.
W = wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
heâs gotten off untouched while eating you out before. you were in an empty cabin, eyes rolled back and letting a few hushed moans slip, and he couldnât stop himself from cumming in his pants as you climaxed.
X = x-ray (letâs see whatâs going on under those clothes)
more length than girth, but heâs definitely got something. about 6inches, maybe 7 inches while hard?
Y = yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
decent, but not anything crazy. heâll do as much as you like, or as little. anything to keep you happy.
Z = zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
heâs out almost immediately once heâs checked up on you and cleaned you up. he doesnât mean too, but how can he help it when your cradled in his arms?

cat got your tongue - Cole Caufield
Word Count - 3k
Requested - Yes a mutual dared me weeks ago to write a entire fic only about Cole Caufield's tongue.
Author's Note - thank you as always for reading. đđŤśđť This literally took me forever to write because writers block is very real even when you love an idea, also I got this request back in the middle of July before anyone wants to come into my asks. I'm not sure if I like this ending, but that might just be me being my biggest critic.
Warnings - oral receiving but I think that's kind of obvious given the title of this fic. đ¤Ł
Summary - Cole finally convinces you to come to one of his games, but what happens when all you can focus on is the way he sticks his tongue out during a celly.
Tonight was the first time that Cole has finally convinced you to come to one of his games. To be fair you did just meet the guy a month ago in a bar. Unlike Cole, you did not know everything when it came to hockey which could have been one of the reasons that you werenât pressed on going as soon as Cole brought up the idea. But his constant insisting that turned into begging which was kind of hot finally got you here. In the back of a shared Uber with your friend who actually knows hockey and said she would tag along to explain what the fuck everyone is doing on the ice. At the end of the day trying to learn all the rules of a sport you never even watched was hard.Â
Just to mess with Cole a little, you did purchase one of his jerseys which granted a lot of money. But your friend who came along with you to the game, insisted to âdo it for the plot.â So here you both are, you in his jersey, entering the arena. Due to the amount of time it took to get through security, you werenât able to be in your seat until after warm ups had already started. Your seat was center ice but a few rows back purely because you told Cole if he thought your ass was sitting front row at your first ever NHL game, you would simply walk out because you didnât wanna accidentally end up caught on TV looking like someone who had no idea what was happening around her.Â
As soon as Cole saw you, he skated over to the bench although you couldnât see what he was doing talking to one of the trainers you assumed. He then skated over and started bouncing what looked like the nearest puck on his stick as many times as he could and then passing it over the glass. A fan tried to take it, but he shook his head no and pointed at you. Then he threw another one over for the little boy who was a couple seats down from you, before skating off continuing on with warmups.Â
âWhy was that kind of hot?â you whispered to your friend.Â
âWow who knew a basic white boy would have you down this bad?â she teased.
âBitch shut up.â you said before you finally looked down at the puck. Cole must have asked the trainer for a marker and signed the puck before coming over.Â
You look hot with my name on you. Meet me in the tunnels after the game.Â
Deciding not to tell your friend about the message you look up to see Cole sitting on the bench now making direct eye contact with you as he watches you read his message. Nodding your head yes and mouthing âokayâ, even from the other side of the arena the smile that spreads across his face is seen clearly from your seat.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cole was literally playing like his life depended on it tonight. Now granted you might not understand all the little detailed rules when it comes to hockey. But you knew an assist was a good thing, in period one alone Cole had 2 assists and something about the way that he got one knee skating for a celly with his tongue slightly sticking out. Something that is so simple, made you feel your stomach drop, getting more and more turned the second time he did it.Â
During intermission, you and your friend went to the bathroom and maybe it was the 3 beers you consumed but somehow you both started joking around about what your friend calls âyour new fetish Coleâs tongue.â Jokingly you stuck your tongue out ever so slightly. Not realizing in that millisecond your friend took a mirror selfie, your side to the mirror the famous â22â on display with Caulfeild, sticking your tongue out ever so slightly with your butt teasingly pushed up. Honestly, you kind of looked hot in the picture and made a mental note to ask your friend to send the picture to you later.Â
As the first intermission was about to end you just made it back to your seat. Cole was able to pull off another assist during the second period. Your friend who has been a fan of the Hubs her entire life told you that you're never allowed to miss a game again because if this was how the rest of the season was gonna go they might make it to the playoffs. All you could do was chuckle at her superstitious behavior. But stopped when the fans around her were agreeing with her when she told them this was your first ever game, Cole invited you and this is how he was playing.Â
âOh my god please stop. I donât want my life to end on twitter. Y/B/F/N.â you begged, taking your hand and covering her mouth. She drunkenly agreed to stop and both of you turned your attention back to the game. Even when he wasnât on the ice, your eyes couldnât leave Cole. Every once in a while he would catch you staring at him and making a teasing face back at you, pecking his lips, or sticking his tongue out extra far in order to get an air sip of his water. Every time he did all you could think about was his tongue wrapping around the clit or lapping your pussy like it was on display right now for thousands to see. Every time he was on the bench and went to lick his lips you found yourself squirming in your seat. All your friend could do was roll her eyes at your behavior.Â
Somehow you made it to the third period, but thatâs when Cole scored a goal. You swear it was just to tease you, he skated past your section sticking his tongue out and wiggling it. âFuckâ you mumble to yourself.Â
âY/N there are children around. Stop ya nasty!â your friend says as she canât help the laugh that escapes her. Your mind couldnât stop thinking about sitting on top of Coleâs face or him on his knees with one of your legs over his shoulders. As you rolled your hips against his tongue dragged. -Â
Suddenly your brain was brought back to real time as the final buzzer went off. Everyone around you cheered as the HUBS won a shutout - which your friend just told you is what itâs called when the other team doesnât score a single goal during a game. But to be perfectly honest you werenât really paying attention to your friend explaining any more slang hockey terms, your eyes focused on Cole as he skated around the ice with his teammates celebrating. The crowd was going crazy as it was the only shutout in what seemed like a lifetime, you could feel the energy of the crowd as you felt your body slightly move with all the jumping fans around you. Cole finally looked over at you from center ice and smiled. He titled his head towards the tunnels slightly reminding you of the puck and the note written on it, you nodded your head yes as you felt your cheeks heat up slightly from anticipation.Â
Slowly the crowd started leaving once the boys were leaving the ice, finally there was enough room for you and your friend to make your way to the steps.Â
âHey thanks for coming by the way.â as you stop at the top of the steps.Â
âIt was fun. Are you ready to go?âÂ
âActually Cole told me to meet him in the tunnels after the game.â you admit a light blush still painting your cheeks.Â
âooo okay have fun girly. Donât do anything I wouldnât. Text me when you get back to his place.â As she wraps her arms around you to hug you goodbye quickly.Â
A laugh escapes your lips at your friend's words. âWhat do you mean âhis place'?â Making a quotation sign with your hand.Â
âWell we both know you arenât going home tonight. You know you'll be busy with him, Iâll just check your location.âÂ
Before you could open your mouth she turned around and was gone. All you could do is laugh as you stood there and watched her walk away. Quickly you turned around and started walking towards the other side of the arena where the tunnels were. Somehow managing to find your way around, you pulled your phone out to text Cole that you were waiting outside of the locker room for him after being stopped by security, but thankfully the pass Cole gave you just in case came in handy. Standing against the wall scrolling Twitter while you waited for Cole to be done.Â
Somehow the fan girls work faster than you could have ever imagined because someone made a gif of Coleâs tongue sticking out as he skated against the glass during his celly earlier tonight. Watching the gif over and over your breath caught in your throat as all your thoughts form earlier tonight just wanting to want Cole sink to his knees in front of you and eat you out came flooding back. Imagining your hand in his hair helping his face grind against using his tongue for nothing else except your own pleasure. Your mind was wandering and you could feel yourself dripping at the thought of making Cole sink to his knees, you refusing to pull his hair at first as punishment for teasing you all night.Â
Lost in your own thoughts you didnât even hear Cole leaving the locker room or coming up to you. Cole knew you were lost in your own world and decided to scare you by running up to you from behind wrapping his arms around you and leaving a wet kiss on your cheek. All that could be heard in the mostly quiet hallway now since he was one of the last players out was his laugh as you squirmed in his arms. âEw Cole let me down.â you shirked in a high pitch voice he laughed in response spinning you around one more time before setting you down.Â
âSo how did you like watching me play?â he asked, finally facing you, still trying to hold you as close as possible.Â
âIt was good. It was actually kind of hot watching you play.â you admit with a smirk on your lips.Â
Cole gives you a puzzling look as he questions, âoh yeah?â in a teasing tone.Â
All you do is flash him a cheeky grin as you admit, âyeah watching you do your little celly on the ice was so hot, but I just kept watching you stick your tongue out all night.â Leaning up to his ear despite no one being around you whispered, âall I could think about was getting you to sink to your knees so I could ride your face, one leg over your shoulder, my back against the wall and not let you touch yourself as punishment for teasing me all night. My hands in your hair pulling and tugging as much as I wanted. All while your tongue is busy, so you canât even beg me to let you touch yourself to give your hard cock some relief.âÂ
As you lean back only far away enough to see his face, his mouth is ajar in shock at your words. Itâs as if heâs processing your words and for the first time in his life heâs quiet for more than a minute, you decide to further tease him while he stands there frozen. âWhatâs the matter baby boy, cat got your tongue?â A smirk on your lips as you watch him blink, as if his brain has finally caught up to the world around him.Â
âNo, not yet.â His voice is an octave deeper than before filled with lust. Suddenly heâs pulling you down the hallway towards the parking garage. âBut it will be.âÂ
But just as you were about to exit the stadium to enter the connected parking garage, Cole made a sharp left turn down a separate hallway. âWhere are we going?â you ask.Â
âOh, we're making your words reality mamas.â As he opens a door and suddenly you find yourself in some type of equipment storage closet. In the corner is an extra medical bed, and there are sticks everywhere along another wall. But you donât have too much time to examine the room before you feel Cole behind you after he locks the door. â Kissing down your neck, blowing air into your ear and all you can do is compliment him by sighing at the feeling.Â
Quickly you regain your composure and turn around in his arms, finding his lips and kissing him hard. Fighting for dominance, and smirking when you slip your tongue into his mouth, he moans as a response and you can feel your underwear being damp from the sound he makes. Pushing him off of yourself quickly. You take a step back, you're against the wall now as you unbuckle your jeans. He says to you âhave I told you how pretty you look with my name on your back.âÂ
Holding your hand up against his chest to stop him from getting any closer to you.ânaw ah ah. Letâs put that tongue to good use, less yapping yeah?â Even though you phrase it as a question, your tone is stern and demanding. Taking your left hand that wasnât on Coleâs chest you move it to his shoulder slightly pushing him down so heâs on his knees. The way he glances up to you with his now darker blue eyes could have made you come right there. Trying to take a breath without showing him how much control he really does have over you at the moment. Pulling your jeans down the rest of the way and stepping out of them, slipping your shoes so you can slip your skinny jeans off the rest of the way.Â
Looking down at Cole in a full suit, suddenly deciding heâs in too much clothing as he kisses your exposed thighs in front of you. âTake. Off. Your. jacket.âÂ
âYes Momas.â he says, taking his suit jacket, refusing to lose eye contact with you. He tosses the jacket somewhere behind him joining your jeans. He sticks his tongue out to tease you more as you throw your right leg over his shoulder.Â
âDonât even think about teasing Cole.â you grunt. He moves your underwear to the side swiping up and down your cunt in quick motions. âYou wanna be a good boy right?â you ask as you tug slightly on his hair.Â
âHmm.â he moans as a yes on your clit, closing your eyes at the taste. Taking your hands you tug hard on his hair.Â
âNo, gotta keep your eyes open. I wanna see you while I grind on your face.â As you start to lightly roll your hips, Coleâs hands find the flesh of your ass and back of your thighs. He pulls you closer and starts kneading the soft flesh looking directly up to you as he moves his tongue down to your hole. Pushing in and out teasingly as his nose bumps his nose against your clit. âFuck Cole.â you moan as you push your shoulders against the door, throwing your head back, closing your eyes at the feeling. Your hands go under the jersey finding your boobs squeezing them through your bra trying to play with your nipples. And then you feel Cole move his head so slightly causing a new angle as you roll your hips against his face even harder. âFuck right there baby. Donât stop.â you whine. So much for being in control but right now you couldnât give a fuck with how good Cole was making you feel.Â
Cole goes back up with his tongue to do circles over your clit driving so crazy. You donât even realize one of his hands leaves your ass and his fingers find your hole abusing it even more than his tongue was a minute ago. âFuck Cole Iâm close.â you warn and thatâs all you have time to grunt out before your vision blurs and you feel your legs shake, if it hadnât been for Cole holding you upright you would have fell. He continues to eat you lapping up all your juices until your legs stop shaking and your breathing isnât so ragged.Â
Gently he removes his face from your pussy, careful to keep a steady grip on your legs so you stay up right. He slowly makes his way up to you, pulling you into a kiss so you can taste yourself and all you can do is moan in response. âUsually it takes more than a guy eating you out to feel this tired but holy shit Cole.â you mumble leaning your head on his shoulder closing your thighs.Â
âCome on, let's get you dressed.â he says, reaching down for your jeans that were thrown away earlier.Â
âNo.â you whine. â Iâm not leaving you with this.â As you gently take one of your hands to slightly cup his bulge in his suit pants. He hisses in response. âSee your in pain.â you complain.
âIâll be fine. You just said your tired baby.â he argues. Looking back over at the medical examination bed in the corner of the room you get an idea. Slowly taking one of his hands you turn and walk backwards towards the bed guiding Cole with you. Letting go of his hand, you slip your underwear off the rest of the way and throw in his direction. He catches it on reflex sucking in a breath as feel the medical table behind you. Slowly you climb on and scoot all the way back.Â
âIâm not too tired for you. Take what you need. Be good for me, make me cum again baby boy.â you beg as you lay down and spread your legs for Cole to have a perfect few of your still dripping pussy from your first orgasim.Â
âFuck. how did I get so lucky to get you.â he mumbles to himself as you watch him undress and make his way over to you.

Seeing all the saltommy headcanons floating around here and I'm obsessed with all of them but consider:
Unrequited saltommy but Sal's the one with feelings. Tommy considers him a good friend and a close confidant and Sal's the only one who Knows about Tommy, so they have their own shorthand and all their in-jokes and Sal plays up the bro thing because he realized five years in that he sort of maybe definitely wants Tommy to bone him and then press a kiss to his forehead and he needs Tommy to stick around for that so Gerrard can never know
Which. Tommy's never thought about it. Given the opportunity, maybe he would have. But Sal never says a word. Sal represses the feeling and dates around and through it all he's in love with his work buddy. They hang out when they're off shift and he listens to Tommy talk about the guys he's seeing casually and how they hate the job, hate that he's in the closet, hate that every time they're out in public he's tense and staring around the room like someone is about to pop out and call him every name in the book. He listens, and he knocks his knee against Tommy's, and they turn on the fights so Tommy has a distraction. And Sal loves him.
And it doesn't matter.
And then Gerrard is out, and they're finally in a place where Sal thinks - maybe. Maybe I could tell him. Maybe we could be something.
And Tommy comes over one night a few months into their revolving door of Captains and he's giddy, he can't stop smiling, he's nursing his beer and picking at the label and
He's met someone. They've been seeing each other and Tommy didn't want to say anything because it felt different than usual. Felt real. This guy understands the secrecy, he understands why Tommy has concerns about being out. He's sweet, and kind, and a bit of a freak in bed, sorry, you don't want to hear about that, and Sal absolutely doesn't but not for the reason Tommy thinks. It's serious. And Tommy had realized he wanted his best friend to know.
So. Sal tells him to bring the guy around, and he can never find a reason not to like him, because he's great. He's great for Tommy, he's fun to hang out with, he doesn't begrudge Tommy keeping the private part of their lives private. He can turn the lovey-dovey look off in a moment, play at being buddies when they're out and about and never seems upset about it. And in privacy, he's pressing a hand to the small of Tommy's back and pressing his lips to the bolt of Tommy's jaw and he always, always drinks Tommy's shitty beer even though Sal can tell he'd prefer a simple Bud Light. He makes Tommy happy.
So Sal lashes out at work instead. He presses, and he pushes, and he calls out captains left and right and does stupid shit for the hell of it. And eventually it bites him in the ass.
Sal loses his house, but for a while there he doesn't lose Tommy. He's there when the relationship with the guy implodes, and there's just never a good opportunity to bring up how he feels. So he doesn't.
They drift. Without the impetus of working together they inevitably just don't spend as much time together.
Sal meets a woman. He likes her. Her laugh is ridiculous. She smiles with her whole face. She's delicate and soft and when she tucks her face under his chin and curls her arms around him she can barely wrap her fingers together behind his back.
He introduces her to Tommy six months in and Tommy is happy for him, Tommy congratulates him, Tommy slaps a big hand to his shoulder and Sal soaks in the warmth and puts it away.
He marries the girl and Tommy orbits his life but they're never as close again. He has a couple kids, and they love uncle Tommy, and he watches Tommy move stations and stop hiding himself and he meets a few of the guys Tommy dates and they never feel right. They're never enough. They don't treat him the way Sal thinks he should be treated. He welcomes them into his home and hates the way they roll their eyes at Uncle Tommy stuffing his big long legs under the kids table so he can paint a butterfly with his daughter, the way they watch him with Sal's son balanced on his shoulders. He hates the way they get quiet when he and Sal are comparing scars and stories about the job. He hates the way they just don't love him enough.
They drift, and swing back together for random nights out or the kids birthdays, see each other less and less as the years pass.
And then he hears in passing that Tommy's reconnected with some of the 118, that he's spending time with all of them again, and he shoots him a text to catch up because you flew into a hurricane to rescue the guy who fired me but mostly he's just curious to know how he managed not to get fired.
Tommy invites him out for drinks. They settle in a corner booth and shoot the shit and Tommy tells him about how Hen is doing, how Howie is doing, about his new buddy Eddie and all the drama surrounding the 118. He keeps eyeing his phone, and Sal doesn't think much of it until Tommy's smile lines start to dimple and he tips his head up and grins, wide and happy as he waves at the guy who'd just stepped in.
Sal's pretty sure he recognizes him. One of the 118, maybe even the guy who'd filled the spot Sal had left open there. His grin is wide and his eyes are bright and Tommy shifts out of the booth to hug him and they linger in it, Tommy's face pressed into his neck and the guys hands drifting low across Tommy's waist, and when Tommy turns to introduce him as Buck the guys face scrunches up like that's a strange way to introduce him but he shakes Sal's hand and he slips right into the booth and he's rattling off a million questions like he's heard a hundred and two stories he wants Sal to confirm.
And Sal - he doesn't remember ever enjoying time with Tommy's boyfriends, doesn't remember seeing Tommy's gaze so focused and intent, so heavy. But this Buck guy keeps a hand on Tommy's knee, or his neck, not in a possessive way really, just like he can't quite stop reminding himself that Tommy is there with him, and Tommy is playing it cool but he's soaking it up, rolling his eyes at Buck's praise but ducking his head when Buck's not looking, darting gazes through his eyelashes and desperately fighting grins and giving the same energy back and no one, no one has ever treated Tommy so delicately, so carefully, no one has ever shot Tommy bedroom eyes with quite so much unadulterated adoration.
Buck goes to buy another round and Tommy's eyes flit to Sal's.
"He's a lot," Sal says, because he's not quite sure how to encapsulate "I know you guys said this was still fairly new but I'm already planning out the bachelor party where you get drunk and soppy and tell me you wish he was here with you."
"I should have mentioned he might come," Tommy tells him, and Sal narrows in on that.
"Why didn't you?"
Tommy shifts. His shoulders curl in. He chews on the inside of his cheek. "I figured some things out, after I started at Harbor. Took a long look at my life up to that point. The way you always hated every guy I introduced you to percolated long enough for me to understand it."
It's Sal's turn to feel like a jackass. "You thought I'd hate him too."
"I hoped you wouldn't."
Sal sighs. Catches sight of Buck tilting sideways at the bartop so he can send an eager grin in Tommy's direction. If he had a tail he'd be wagging it, Sal thinks, and then he thinks a little harder. About the easy way Tommy grins back, about the way he eyes Buck up and down, leering a little for his audience of one, and the way Buck bites his lip and his gaze goes dark and heady and the way he has to fucking blink himself out of it when the bartender hands him their drinks.
Sal knocks his knuckles on the table. "He fucks it up I'm reserving the right to show up unannounced at his job to make him fix it," Sal tells him, and Tommy's gaze is a little misty when it meets Sal's.
Buck slides in next to Tommy and passes out drinks and when he leans back and starts on a tirade about the travesty of shot pours he'd just witnessed, his hand lands a lot higher up Tommy's leg than it has all night. Tommy takes a heavy pull off his beer and grins at Buck like he's never been more enchanted by another living soul.
Sal's incensed when Tommy refuses to have a bachelor party unless both grooms are involved.
#bucktommy#saltommy#listen i'm here for every iteration of saltommy but UNREQUITED just has so much potential for my feelings to get hurt#which is absolutely what im trying to do to myself when i hc an old love

The above image is from the Episode 2x05 insider. And boy oh boy do I (did I?) have a question about this.
Because if that really is the book being published in the present day . . . then that pretty much upends the format of the show. Because the book being published means there is absolutely no reason for Daniel to stick around Dubai anymore IMO. Because why would he? His job is done.
And truth be told, I've long thought the interview would be finished in episode 2x08. That Daniel would finish it, and talk about heading home to being writing and editing it.
However, I never really thought he would actually leave. Because Daniel's character basically does leave the story at the end of Interview with the Vampire. And we don't see him again until Queen of the Damned, during the chase. (And we already know Season 3 is The Vampire Lestat).
But I really couldn't work out how the show could ever have that happen -- because that basically means Daniel's character leaving the show for a time. Possibly a long time, as time jumps just to account for the book being published would have to happen. And that, well . . .
See, I very much noticed how much Daniel's Parkinson's was making him shake this episode (2x05). And I in no way think Armand and Daniel are doing the Devil's Minion chase in the current day with Daniel having Parkinson's during a pandemic (which is still going on in the show's timeline). Sorry, no, not happening IMO. Because there is no damn reason for Armand to chase Daniel now, IMO. The reason Armand even did so in the first place was because he found Daniel fascinating/interesting. And well, as we just saw in episode 2x05 that already happened. It makes no sense that Armand would wait 50 freakin' years to follow up on that with a chase around the world.
So the book being published at the end of the interview always meant, to me, that it would mean bye-bye to Eric from the show. Which, I was NOT looking forward to. Because I honestly couldn't see any reason for Daniel's character to stick around, at least in Dubai, never mind the next part of the story. Especially if Lestat isn't going to be in Dubai and we might have to start doing freakin' time jumps to account for the publication of books.
And, once again, Daniel has a degenerative disease. That, once again, I noticed very well how much he was shaking from. So unless Devil's Minion really didn't happen in the past, there really was no way for Daniel to enter or be part of the story going forward. Because yes, I very much think Armand is going to be prepared to let Daniel leave Dubai and not stop him. Right now, Armand is very focused on keeping his life as it is in Dubai, and I think part of that is due to him not thinking Daniel would ever really remember anything of the past anyway.
So yeah, if that prop is for the book actually being published in the modern-day, I was already beginning to mourn Daniel leaving the show. Because from how I looked at it, I couldn't figure out any reason why his character would stay in Dubai, around these vampires anymore. Right now, if Daniel leaves Dubai, he leaves the show IMO. And probably for a good long while, given where the story is going. (With maybe Armand coming to see Daniel later at some point when he's dying to turn him or something, IDK).
And then, I was reminded -- by @nalyra-dreaming -- of this picture that Eric posted on Twitter a few months back:
And it all began to click.
Because for a real time there, for a few weeks at least after Eric first posted this, I seriously thought that Daniel's character was going to, well die.
Between the posting of this picture by Eric as well as a few other things, no joke, I was getting a real vibe about it, that Daniel was going to die this season . . . but not stay dead of course. I just held back on talking about it because it felt so damn early, story-wise, for it to happen.
And then something during the lead-up to the more recent press events made me stop thinking Daniel would die. And that Daniel's turning still wouldn't happen for a few more seasons yet.
But now . . . if the book really is going to be published . . .
I think it's going to be published posthumously. Or, at least, posthumously to the human world.
Because why would Daniel stick around in Dubai if the book is published? As we saw in the preview for next week, he's already saying to Justin Kirk he wants to get out of this alive. The minute he's done with the interview he's leaving, make no mistake about that. So why would Daniel stay?
Well, becoming an undead vampire would do it.
So everyone who wanted Eric's Daniel to become a vampire? You might actually be getting your wish this season. Because if those books above really are real and Daniel really is publishing it in the modern-day . . . then the only reason I can think of for him to not only stay in Dubai/on the show but not visibly age -- or get sicker like Daniel very much would wrt such time jumps that would require not only a publication of such a book but for Lestat to see it, read it, etc -- is this. Daniel becomes a vampire at the end of this season.
Because otherwise, IMO? There is no other reason for his character to stick around. Not from anything else I've thought of so far at least that would make any type of sense.
And what is going to force Armand's hand into turning Daniel? (Because yes, I do still think it's going to be Armand who does it) Well, very likely this . . .
gif credit: @hermit-frog
I already thought Daniel was going to get hurt when it came to this happening. But now I think Daniel getting hurt will be the least of it . . .
#Daniel Molloy#Eric Bogosian#Armand#The Vampire Armand#Devil's Minion#The Devil's Minion#iwtv Season 2#iwtv Season 2 speculation#iwtv spoilers#and if something else happens in the finale -- yeah I see the parallel show#which was one of the reasons I saw why this could happen a few months back . . .

"Do you think it is odd to be this in love with someone?"
Sometimes, when Sirius spoke like that, Remus thought he was in a dream. So he pinched himself to reality, and he couldn't believe Sirius was between his arms. That they had had sex in a sweet way this time after their stupid discussion.
Sometimes, when Remus's heart raced like that, like it was about to explode out of his chest, he believed this was it. Sirius was the love of his life and he would never love someone like he loved him. Ever.
"Odd?" Remus asked softly, as he ran his fingers through Sirius's hair. He was so gorgeous with his hair messy like that.
"Like I feel l don't breathe properly when you are not around" Sirius explained, squeezing Remus's waist tighter.
"I feel the same" And he also felt like his chest burned and his heart jumped when Sirius was near "Why do you think it is odd?"
Sirius snorted "We are young, Moony. We are supposed to get out of this castle and live the life that is supposedely ahead of us, meet lots of people and have a lot of lovers before settling down..."
Remus unconciously clenched his jaw. "Are you saying that you want to meet other lovers? Are you so early breaking up with me?"
And he chuckled after, to show this was hurting him less that it was.
Sirius giggled cuddling closer "No! That's the point, Moony! I can't imagine loving anyone else, anyone more than you"
Remus smiled. If everyone could see how adorable his boyfriend was. He was so soft and romantic. Sirius acted like a rockstar, cold and badass but this was the real one. Remus also loved being the only one with access to this vulnerable version of him.
"So, don't ever leave me!" Remus said, practically begging. Pathetic, he was "Don't ever fall for anyone else"
"That's not what society wants from me..."
"Fuck Society!" Remus exclaimed, making Sirius laugh "Since when do you care about society?"
"I don't" Sirius turned to face him. God, he was so beautiful. Breathtaking even. How did Remus get so lucky? "I'm just scared of being too attached to you and then losing you" and as he said it, his eyes filled with tears "There's a war coming..."
Remus wiped the discreet tears that threathened to appear. There was a scary world out there. They had been living in a comfortable bubble of pranks, jokes and parties. But there were people dying out there. And Remus was a werewolf. If he survived enough, if he survived the war, there was nothing waiting for him. All of his friends had dreams for the future. He had nothing to hope for. Remus got depressed when he thought about it too much.
The only thing he could do was help Dumbledore locate Grayback and his pack. That had been the reason of his discussion with Sirius. Remus wanted to help. Sirius didn't want to let him.
"We're going to stick together, right?" Sirius asked, interrupting Remus's thoughts "You're going to love me forever, right?"
Remus caressed Sirius's cheek "Until the day I die" he swore because he was sure of it. He didn't care if he was young, a dumb teenager (actually off age now) in love. It was true. He couldn't imagine a universe when he didn't love Sirius Black "Even beyond"
Sirius smiled and kissed him softly.
"Please, God, Universe, whatever" he thought as they deepened the kiss "Don't take him away from me. I think I would die without him"
Their little snogging session was getting heated up again, when they were interrupted by a loud knock on the door.
"Are you done shagging or what?" James asked from the other side "I'm freezing out here"
"Bloody hell!" Peter added "Open up! We want to sleep"
Sirius and Remus giggled in complicity. Sirius, resting his head on Remus's shoulder.
"I can wait to move into our apartment and have time for ourselves..."
Remus's heart raced. He couldn't believe he was moving in with Sirius after school. His Sirius.
"Me too"
KNOCK KNOCK
"If you don't open up the door now, we are kicking it down!"
"We can't actually do that, Pete..."
"Shut up, I am threatening them..."
"Fucking hell!" Sirius groaned as he sat up "Coming!!"
Remus laughed "I'll open the door" he murmured to his boyfriend.
"Cheers, Moons"
James and Peter were still knocking desperately.
"Give me a kiss first" Remus said.
Sirius obeyed with a smile.
