Batfam Lantern AU:
Some of my hcs for Lantern!batfam and how they came to be.
Jason: Fuck, I hate you guys so much... All high and mighty, pretending like you give a shit when you keep enforcing a system that's not fucking working...
Tim: hey what's that in the sky?
Dick: God you're such a fucking asshole, if you hate us so much why are you even here?
Jason: Well because some poor fucker has to make sure-
Duke: Jason, watch out!
Jason: *gets knocked out by the sheer extreme speed at which the violet ring flung itself at him.*
****
Tim: Hey Dick, how are you? We heard about that argument you had with Bruce, and reopening old wounds and everything...
Dick: That's sweet, but I'm doing great, don't worry! Punched a bunch of criminals, hung out with friends, now I feel amazing. Of course, if it gets me an excuse to hang out with my little brother...
Tim: Cool, because I'm already breaking into your apartment and I'm -woah, what the fuck is that?
Dick: Oh, you like my new suit?
Tim: what the fuck holy shit is that a red lantern ring? Can you take it off?
Dick: I mean, I think I'll die? It's fine, it's fine, totally cool. Probably someone will have an idea how to fix it if I need to. I'm perfectly calm!
***
Izzy: Hey Duke, you feeling good about physics?
Duke: Wait what's in physics?
Izzy: The test...? That's gonna count for like half our grade...?
Duke, who meant to study this weekend but spent it sleeping off opioids after Croc nearly entirely gnawed off his foot: Ah, right, the test. It's going to be fine! I've figured stuff out with worse odds.
Izzy: If you say so! Hey what's that hovering ominously around you?
Duke, absent-mindedly pocketing a blue ring: hold on a second, gotta dip, Dick is texting me he needs help. You'll never guess what stupid shit he's gotten himself into.
***
Damian: Jordan! I challenge you in combat for the right to your ring!
Hal: Eh, kid... You really need a green lantern ring?
Damian: I shall prove I am as worthy of this honour as the rest of my fami- will you quit gazing off? What are you staring at?
Hal: *wordlessly points at the indigo ring floating behind him*
Damian: oh.

I Gotta Be
See Me Through You Series
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I gotta be the one you touch
And baby, I gotta be the one you love
I gotta be the one you feel
And I gotta be the one to fill your life with sunshine
I gotta be the one you know
'Cause I will always love you so
I gotta be the one you need
I'm just telling you that I gotta be
Synopsis: Your feelings have grown for Joe, and you aren't quite sure that you can suppress them any longer
Series Masterlist
Please Do Not Repost My Content Anywhere
The thoughts running through your mind all went back to what had happened on Sunday between you and Joe. After he had dropped you off at your apartment, Justin came and got him in order to take him back to his. He also made sure that you had gotten into your apartment safely before leaving, as bad as he didn’t want to.
The night proved to be restless with you hardly getting any sleep because of the pain in your wrist and the fact that your mind kept going back to Joe and what he had asked you. Plenty of times, you found yourself opening the text thread between the two of you and typing a message, erasing it, and typing again. You thought getting out of the bed and taking another shower would help you fall asleep easier, but it didn’t happen.
By the morning, you hadn't sent him anything and continued to wrestle with your thoughts. The opportunity was right in front of you, and at this point the ball was in your court.
Joe was a kind, sweet, and thoughtful person who had the looks to go right along with his personality. He could also be a little shy at times, but when it came to you, all of it went out the window. And you knew for a fact that he would show you how you deserved to be treated.
On the other hand, you didn't know where you and Trevor had gone so wrong so fast. He was the person that you had always wanted to be around all of the time and now you found yourself avoiding him.
But you were willing to give him one last chance to do right by you and you were praying that you didn't regret it.
It was now Wednesday and the texts from Joe that he had sent to check on you had gone unanswered since Monday.
Joey- Princess, just checking on you. How does your wrist feel?
Joey- Are we still going to have our study session later? Dinner is on me.
Joey- Y/N, did something happen? Why aren't you answering me?
Joey- I can't fix it if you don't tell me what's wrong
You had been staring at them for the past two days not knowing what to say. Yes, the answers to his questions were simple. But what was not so simple was giving him an answer about what he had asked you Sunday,
“Y/N, I know you like me and I like you. I’ve made that obvious time and time again. You literally spend more time with me than your actual boyfriend and you even just told me yourself less than thirty minutes ago how happy you always are around me. Why don’t you just let me in? What are you afraid of?”
After he had asked you that question, the two of you had been silent with both of you sipping on your milkshakes and an occasional glance out the window by you.
Joe knew that he had to be the one to break it.
“You don't have to answer me right now, but I am curious to know when you finally come up with the answer.” He told you as he grabbed your hand and rubbed small circles on the back of it.
“I can give you the short answer now.” You quietly said as you turned to look at him.
“And what's that?”
“I honestly don't know what I'm so afraid of.”
You had laid down in your apartment the majority of the day which also meant that you had skipped out on going to your classes. You sent a quick text to Erin needing someone to talk to so you could get her opinion on the situation that happened but knew for a fact that she was team Joe all the way just like everyone else was.
And you couldn't blame her.
You- Bestie, I need you. Bring food. I haven't eaten all day. :(
Erin- Say less. On my way. But I should beat your ass because you know better.
You- Leave me alone, I'm having a crisis.
Erin- And it's probably an easy solution to fix it. But your hard headed ass wants to take the difficult route.
You- 🙄
When Erin was downstairs in the parking lot, she sent you another text to tell you to have the door open for her. Once you opened it, you went and sat back down on the couch while you patiently waited to see her.
Less than five minutes later, she came through the door with McDonald's which was one of your guilty pleasures when you were feeling down and seeing as Erin was your best friend, she had your order memorized.
Setting it down in front of you, Erin stole a fry before hugging you and then sitting down herself.
“Spill it. Because I know for a fact that you didn’t call me over here for nothing.”
“Joey almost fought Trevor.” You responded as you opened your dipping sauce for your chicken nuggets while Erin’s eyes went wide.
“Oh shit. Bitch, I gotta hear this. Joe should have beat his ass into next week. Should have just let him do it.”
“You're not eating?” You asked as you peeked in the bag to only see one meal and ignored her last statement, even though you low key agreed with her.
“No, I already ate. Now tell the story and start from the beginning.” She told you as she got comfortable.
“I was studying Sunday night and ignored multiple phone calls from Trevor because he had pissed me off and we had gotten into an argument. Joe then sent me a text asking to see me and that there was a party not too far from here. Took a little bit of convincing but I did. So I get there and Joe meets me outside so that I don't have to walk in by myself. A few hours go by, we're vibing, playing beer pong when none other than my beloved boyfriend Trevor who is obviously already drunk decides to come through the door. By this time, I'm by myself and he comes over to me demanding to talk and talking a whole bunch of shit. He grabs my wrist and I'm trying to get away from him when Joe comes out of nowhere.”
“Ah shit, here we go. He's not about to let anyone mess with his princess.”
“Shut up. Moving on, he asks me if I'm okay and this of course sets Trevor off and they're arguing. Keep in mind he has yet to let go of my arm and then Trevor pushed him. He finally did let go and the shit was red. Joe barely moved an inch and as soon as he was about to punch him, he pushed me out the way but Ja'Marr and Justin came. Ja'Marr was trying to calm him down telling him it's not worth it while Justin was holding back Trevor.”
“Not two men fighting over you. I want to be you when I grow up.”
“They made him leave, Joe got ice for my wrist and offered to drive me home. We stopped and got ice cream and…” You trailed off as you smiled thinking about the conversation that you two had.
“AND? Bitch don't leave me in suspense!”
“He said that he knows that I like him as much as he likes me and that he doesn't understand what I'm so afraid of and to let him in.”
“Then yall fucked and you broke up with Trevor. The end.” Erin said as she smiled at you.
“NO, ERIN!”
“I don't know what you two are waiting on. Being around you two and the way you interact and look at one another, I'm convinced that you are undressing Joe with your eyes.” She said while shrugging and stole another fry.
“Uh? Because I have a boyfriend.”
“Who treats you like absolute shit, but go on my good sis. Tell me more.”
“He's been texting me and I've been ignoring them because I don't know what to say.”
“Your dumbass is always stressing me out. Didn't I say there is probably an easy solution but you like to make things so much more complicated?”
“I just have a lot of feelings, okay!?!”
“Your heart belongs to Joe Burrow and for the life of me I cannot understand your thought process of why you don't see it. You applied here to be with Trevor not knowing that you were going to meet the person that you're supposed to be with. Let that man love you. Shit, he already does.”
“Trevor is not the person all of you keep making him out to be. I promise. It just seems like he's going through something right now.”
“If that's the case, he's been going through something since the two of you got together. But I can't tell you what to do. I can just give you advice as your best friend. So here it is.”
“What?”
“My advice.”
“Yes, I know. You said that. What is it?” You asked as you took another bite of one of your nuggets.
“Joe wants you to have his babies so let him. And I'm still planning the wedding. Are you wearing white or off-white? Only saying this because I love you and I care.”
“He has to become my boyfriend first before we even get to that point.”
“He's waiting for you, boo. Ball is in your court.”
Joe was currently staring at his phone at the unanswered messages that he had sent you over the past few days hoping that you would respond and hopefully give him an explanation as to why you hadn't said anything to him.
He couldn't understand for the life of him why you were ignoring him and was going over every possible scenario in his head about what had happened on Sunday. Nothing happened that would make him think that you wouldn't want to talk to him so he was at a loss.
The fear that he saw in your eyes as he approached your boyfriend from behind was something that he never wanted to see again and knew that would only happen if you willingly broke up with him. He didn't know what you saw in him, but if there is any truth to first impressions, Trevor was the worst that it could possibly get.
Joe had promised to help you study for your big exam all this week while he would also be working on different assignments for his masters degree. He debated on going over to your apartment, but the last thing he wanted to do was bombard you and catch you off guard. But for his peace of mind, what did he have to lose? Ja’Marr hadn’t said anything about how you were doing and all he told you was that you hadn’t been to any of your classes all week. He also wanted to know how practice went for you on Tuesday with your wrist.
Your apartment wasn’t too far from his, only being about a mile or two down the street and quickly threw a hoodie on along with his shoes and grabbed his keys from off the kitchen counter to make his way to the middle of the hallway where the elevator was.
The entire time during the short drive, Joe had increasingly become nervous the closer that he got. He honestly wondered if he was truly making a mistake about the entire situation as a whole and not just going over there to check on you.
He’s made it clear time and time again that he liked you and wanted better for you. It was hard for him to watch you complain about Trevor and seeing it in real time, he was confused as to why you didn’t break up with him right then and there. He wasn’t trying to rush you in any way, shape, or form but he didn’t know how much longer that he would be able to hold on for. The thought came to him last night if he should actually let it go completely, but he just couldn’t stop thinking about you as much as he tried.
Finally pulling up into the parking lot of your apartment complex, he parked his car and pulled out his phone one more time to try to send you a text and hopefully get an answer.
Joey- Princess, I’m just checking on you. Want to see if you’re okay.
As soon as he sent the text, he looked up to see you coming out of the front door with no one other than your shitty ass boyfriend Trevor.
As Joe sat there and watched the two of you interact, the look on your face seemed content. The two of you didn’t look to be arguing or in any type of disagreement so of course he knew in the back of his mind that you had probably already forgiven him.
He saw you pull out your phone and he assumed that you were looking at the text that he had sent you and he sighed when he saw you read it and then slipped it back into the pocket of your sweatshirt.
Once he saw Trevor lean down and kiss you and a smile spread across your face that didn’t quite reach your eyes, he knew that he still had a chance.
Joe knew deep down that you wanted him and the only conclusion that he could come to as to why you were settling is probably because you were comfortable and content, but for the life of him he couldn’t understand why you would be comfortable in a situation such as this one with not being treated properly.
He thought out of anyone that your brother should know because he knew that he was worried about you just as much as he was.
Joe- She forgave him
Ja’Marr- Wait, how do you know?
Joe- Came by to check on her and I’m looking at both of them as we speak from my car
Ja’Marr- Now you see the cycle that she’s been doing for almost two years
It was now Saturday morning and you were currently packing your bag with everything you needed for the competition that would take place in less than an hour. Erin had stayed over with you the night before so that the two of you would be able to drive to campus together since this was a particular competition that LSU was having on their campus.
Once your bag was packed and you were fully dressed, you made the short walk to the bathroom in order to put your hair up. As you were putting the final touches on your ballerina bun, Erin came in and helped you finish.
“Thank you bestie and good morning.” You said as you smiled at her in the mirror.
“Morning bestie, you ready for us to be placed number one in every single event?” She asked as she had now started to do your make-up for you as she gestured for you to sit down.
“I don’t know about all that.” You responded while laughing.
“You do not give yourself enough credit. Do you not realize how amazing you are at everything that you do? I want to be you when I grow up, except having an asshole of a boyfriend, but everything else, yes.” She smiled as you shook your head at her.
“You are just as good as me, so don’t even try it.” You said as she was looking at your eyeshadow palette and deciding which one to use. She looked down at your outfit and then quickly chose one.
“Y/N, be serious. I’m definitely not and I was surprised that LSU even offered me a scholarship.” She responded as you rolled your eyes.
“If you weren’t good enough, you wouldn’t have gotten a scholarship so don’t talk about yourself like that. You deserve to be here just as much as anyone else. You have always doubted yourself and I’m going to need you to get out of your own head.”
“I guess you’re right. Are we going to the football game later today?” She asked as she had moved on to the mascara.
“I debated on if I was going but I already know Ja’Marr is going to throw a fit if I don’t. Spoiled ass baby brother.”
“And someone else. Have you talked to him yet? And he is literally your baby brother by three minutes.”
“No, and I definitely need to. I just don’t know what I’m going to say once I see him. And I am still older!” You exclaimed as the both of you laughed.
“Obviously confess your love for one another, duh.”
When you were quiet for a few minutes, Erin placed her finger under your chin for you to look up at her.
“Y/N….”
“I love Joey, but I don’t know how to tell Trevor that I don’t love him anymore.”
The arena was filling in with guests as you along with the rest of the gymnastics team began to warm up and do stretches to get your muscles loose. After you had confessed to Erin the way you were feeling she told you that however and whenever you decided to tell Joe about how you felt that she would support you a hundred percent. But what she couldn't support was you being with Trevor which you understood. You just didn't know when you would be ready to do that.
Your back was turned from the audience as you were facing the bench where you all would be sitting when Erin hooked her arm into yours. She was smiling at you and you gave her a look asking what her deal was. She led you both across to the other side as the two of you were waiting for your turn to do the balance beam and uneven bars.
“Don't look now, but your baby daddy, your brother and Justin are here.” Erin whispered to you.
“Wait, what!?” You exclaimed as you turned around and sure enough all three of them were sitting in the middle of the stands with Joe having his gaze focused solely on you.
“Hmm, maybe it has to do with those texts that you ignored from him for no good reason? I told you his ass would come looking for you sooner or later.”
“I literally cannot do this right now.” You said while sighing and smoothing out the top of your hair.
“Just focus and finish the competition. Then you and him need to talk.”
As the competition came to a close, you knew that talking to Joe was inevitable at this point. After you had pulled on your sweatpants along with Joe's hoodie that he had given to you on Sunday when you were cold, you exited the area and walked to the lobby where sure enough he was waiting for you along with Justin and Ja'Marr.
“And big sis does it again!” Ja'Marr exclaimed as he hugged you and picked you up at the same time so that your feet were dangling.
“Proud of you! All those flips and shit would have had my ass dizzy and in a corner somewhere.” Justin told you as he hugged you after Ja'Marr had placed you back on the ground.
“Thank you.”
You let out a small laugh before finally making your way over to Joe who had a bouquet of flowers in his hands as he leaned down to hug you. When the two of you separated, he handed you the flowers.
“Thank you for these. They're my favorite.” You told him, but his expression you couldn't quite read.
“Can we talk?” Joe asked and you nodded as the two of you walked out of the front entrance and were now on the side of the building away from everyone else.
The silence was awkward which was unusual for the two of you since there was never a dull moment left lingering in the air.
“Y/N, what are we doing? Did I do something? Are you mad at me?” Joe fired off questions left and right to get to the bottom of why you had been avoiding him.
“No, Joey. You didn't do anything wrong. I just…”
“You what? If I didn't do anything wrong why didn't you answer me? I thought something was wrong after what happened on Sunday. I came to check on you on Wednesday but when I saw you swapping spit with that asshole, I left. And also noticed that you once again ignored my text.”
“Because I don't know what I want! I care about Trevor but…”
“But what?”
“My heart skips beats when I'm around you and I constantly feel like I have a swarm of butterflies in my stomach. You know what I need before I need it and you are thoughtful and considerate of my feelings. You always check on me to make sure I'm okay and I shouldn't feel this way about another man when I have a boyfriend.”
“Y/N, what do you want? Do you want him or do you want me? It's as simple as that at this point.”
“I think…”
“No, you need to know.”
“I'm going to give Trevor another chance.”
It was at that moment that you saw the color drain from Joe's face and gave you a look of disbelief as he shook his head.
It was quiet for a few minutes before you heard him speak.
“If that's what you want, then I have to accept it.” He shrugged and simply put his hands in his pockets.
You couldn't describe it, but there was a shift and it wasn't a good one.
“Joey, I care about my boyfriend and…”
“Someone you care about is not supposed to hurt you like he did and I wouldn't be surprised if he's done it more times than you're willing to admit. But if you want to be with him, who am I to say anything? It's not my business at this point.”
“I just need to help him through whatever is happening right now and it'll get better.” You said as you crossed your arms in front of you.
“The excuses you're giving me are coming left and right and I don't fucking believe any of it. You say you care about him, but I think it's absolute bullshit.”
“Why? Why do I have to lie to you?”
“Because you love me and you're scared to admit it. All you've known is being treated like shit and I want to give you everything he can't.”
“And what can't he give me?” You asked, interested to see what his answer was going to be.
“If you give me the chance, I can show you better than I can tell you.” He said as he stepped closer towards you.
“You are making this so much harder than it needs to be.” You stated as you massaged your temples.
“It's definitely the other way around and you know what I noticed?”
“What?”
“When I said you loved me, you didn't tell me that I was wrong. And you also said that you cared about him multiple times, but never said that you loved him.”

~ Crowley Vignette Pt. 3 ~
After lunch, Crowley's GOT NOTHING TO DO because all the professors are at their classes, so he might as well go to Sam's TO KILL TIME.
???: "You don't gotta worry 'bout that!"
Crowley: "Hm? That voice..."
He's far away, but when he looks to that direction...
Tumblr media
Grim: "Ain't no one noticin' a cut class or two. So let's go nap instead, nyahaha!"
Tumblr media
Yuu: "Let's go back to class"
Then Crowley starts spewing to himself "To think that there are two rebels cutting classes in my school... Seriously, I cannot believe it!"
Then an entire gang of students swaggers to Grim and Yuu because they're gonna take over the bench to slack off. Grim doesn't relent; they got here first so finders keepers!
Tumblr media
"MORE STUDENTS HAVE COME TO CUT CLASSES!"
It looks like a fight's about to break out. Just what kind of discipline is going on at his school?!
Tumblr media
"HEY, YOU LOT! Shouldn't you be at class right now?!"
Grim panics so Yuu apologizes for him.
Tumblr media
"After having witnessed such blatant disobedience, I'm inadvertently getting reeled in by a sincere apology..."
Tumblr media
"Everyone, please get back to your classes. I would very much appreciate it if you were to study properly. Magic talent without hard work is not quite as sweet. While it's true that being born with a natural sense for it is important, it is the daily grind and experience that truly matters."
Then he asks if the students recall his speech earlier. Grim says it was boring as hell so he wasn't listening at all. The random Ignihyde students says "Same, same."
SO OUT OF DESPERATION, Crowley turns to Yuu and asks if they remember.
Tumblr media
"Of course I remember." / "It was something about a grape tree, yeah?" IT WAS AN APPLE TREE.
The random Savanaclaw student cuts in and says he's noisy as hell. He's the Headmage, but it's not that they need to listen to him yeah?
Tumblr media
Diasomnia Student: "Yeah. And it's not like we've ever seen the headmage perform any amazing magic. Even the housewardens don't give a crap about him..."
Savanaclaw Student: "What a loser. 'Kay, let's just ignore him!"
Tumblr media
Crowley: "... Really, what troublesome kids."
Crowley: "It can't be helped then. Let me show you how important it is to thoroughly study magic."
Tumblr media
"... For I am very kind! / WATASHI YASASHII NO DE!"
AND THEN HE WHIPS THEM AND LITERALLY TIES THEM TOGETHER DASHJKHKJADS
Tumblr media
Crowley: "It is not a bind. This is the whip of love! Only a slightly tougher version."
The students panic, but the Diasomnia student claims that magic's flimsy and can be easily broken. ... Not?! What's going on? His magic doesn't do shit...
Tumblr media
Crowley: "Why, of course. Am I not the Headmage of Night Raven College? This level of magic is naught but as simple as breathing."
He sighs and comments that these kids are underestimating him one too many times. It won't do that children who can't even gauge their own abilities are looking down on an educator like him.
Tumblr media
"I simply had to make you understand your own immaturities."
Tumblr media
"Go, go, Crowley go! Show them how much of a baby they are!"
Tumblr media
Yuu: "Now's the perfect time to run away..."
Tumblr media
Crowley: "And for you: Whip of Love! Gentle Ver.!"
And then both Grim and Yuu get captured!
Crowley soothes the struggling Grim by saying that he really has high expectations for both him and Yuu. He's certain that the two of them can change the future of this school. 🤔
Tumblr media
"You can do that, can't you?"
Tumblr media
Grim: "'Course. Just leave it to the great genius master Grim!"
Tumblr media
Grim: "... So let me go already!"
Crowley: "Well then. Shall we take each of you to your respective classes?"
Grim: "What?! Tied up like this?! If the other guys saw me, I'd definitely never hear the end of it! Let me go! Let me go!"
Tumblr media
Crowley: "As you are Night Raven College students, take this as a lesson opportunity to reflect upon."
Tumblr media
"Because all of you are... my precious, precious apple trees."

Bro
So I’ve been cooking on what to say about your KendraTello fic for a couple months now and I think I finally have some sort of semblance of thought that is shareable. First off, my friend once said that any form of media that makes you feel something is considered good media. And Broski, lemme tell ya. Your KendraTello AU makes me F e E l T h I n G s.
I have so much to say but for the instance of this comment, I see myself as Mikey in this situation. I have ridiculously high empathy and I’m studying to become a counselor while currently being in counseling myself. While I never had to deal with the struggles and the complete hell of being in an EXTREMELY toxic relationship like that, I do struggle with overcoming my own insecurities and crushing rescuer/complex. AKA I feel like I gotta save/be helpful to everybody or else I have no value.
So reading this little story has me like gripping my blanket in horror because it is just so well written that not only can I see the implications, but I can FEEL how the rewiring would have felt for Donnie. Like…*shudders* I get it. A bit. And trying to overcome that? To grow and learn how to trust people, especially those you considered to have hurt you? The brothers relearning how to love their traumatized brother and realizing nothing, nothing is ever going to be the same way again? It makes me want to cry and cradle Donnie and all of them so tightly. I get it, honey, I get it from both sides, and I am so so so sorry.
*holds up hands* Now I’m not trying to share this in any negative or trauma dumbing manner at ALL. If it came across as such, my sincerest apologies. I genuinely just wanted to commend you in your storytelling abilities for they truly are impelling on multiple accounts. I hope this message finds you well and is a reminder that you are leaving an impact in this world. You’re making a difference and I think that you’re honestly incredible. Sending my love and support to both you and your Donnie ✨🫂🧡🙏🏼
Sorry this took so long to reply back, I have a few asks in my inbox that I just like to scroll back through and ponder on, and this has been one of the ones I’ve been holding onto.
Thank you for being so open and honest, and real, I think that will really help in your own journey to become a counselor for others, because all of that helps people feel like their concerns and issues are actually being heard. I’m also on the highly empathetic spectrum, and it’s taken many years to come to terms with knowing when to put my needs and happiness on the forefront, instead of exhausting myself in trying to fix everyone else’s problems.
Every day we are bombarded with people all around the world that are struggling, and in need of help. We have so much more access than any other generation before us, and that can give us so much anxiety and helplessness, and make it feel like we aren’t doing enough to make things better. If you need to take a break from listening to the problems of your friends and family, or take a break from doomscrolling, because it’s all making you feel like you’re the worst, for not helping every single person that comes across your feed, then take a break, please. Trust that someone else is doing their part as well, and breathe.
It’s a delicate balance sometimes, but please remember that you always have worth, even if you’re only doing your best to exist and be healthy. You deserve rest and love too, and those are never things you should have to earn!

Tumblr media
It was set to be a lonely Christmas for you. 
But honestly? You had no one to blame but yourself. You were the one who had decided to migrate to another continent entirely for university, whilst most of your friends had stayed in King’s Landing, or other parts of Westeros, including your boyfriend, Jace Velaryon. 
But Braavos University was undoubtedly the best university in the known world to pursue a degree in economics, and when you had gotten the acceptance email, Jace had urged you to go, telling you that you would be an idiot if you passed up on the chance. 
Braavos was a wonderful place: a melting pot of different cultures, interesting architectural structures, along with an intriguing history. You loved studying and living here, but at times, especially now, during the festive season, you especially missed home. You missed seeing Jace’s wonderful, handsome, smiling face, missed his kisses, his hugs, his warmth, his everything. 
In a video call with your boyfriend a few days ago, you had expressed how much you’d missed him, and he had given you a sad smile in return. 
“I miss you too, honey,” Jace said earnestly, covering his headphones’ speakers again when a loud noise erupted from behind him. You winced at the feedback from the mic. “Cregan, hey bud, mind keeping it down a little?” Jace called out. “I’m video calling my girlfriend here.” 
“Sorry dude!” A manly voice that was most definitely not Cregan called back, and you had to stifle a laugh at Jace’s knowing, disgusted look. “Ugh, these animals, I swear,” Jace joked, turning his attention back to you. His expression softened. “Hey honey, I know it’s hard on you. I wish there was something I can do to make you feel better.” 
You smiled, trying to cheer up a bit for his sake. “It’s alright, really. I’m doing fine here, I’m just being a bit mopey because I miss you and stuff.” 
“Aww,” Jace blew you a kiss through the computer screen. “I miss you too, honey. Uni life just isn’t the same without you. But you are still coming back for summer break, right?” 
You nodded, blowing back a kiss to him. “Yeah, of course I am. I can’t wait-“ A crash and a gruff laugh sounded from behind Jace, and Jace’s eyes widened as he turned back to try and catch a glimpse of what was going on. “Jace, buddy, I might need some help here!” A voice that was definitely Cregan groaned out. 
“I’m sorry babe, I gotta go,” Jace said apologetically. “Trust those guys to get wild when I’m trying to call my girlfriend.” 
“No, it’s fine,” you tried to stifle a giggle. “You’re like their mom, you know.” “Am not,” Jace pouted, before blowing you a kiss. “I’ll video call you on Christmas, alright? I love you, baby.” 
“Love you too, Jacey.” You blew him a kiss back before your computer screen went dark, and you sighed, slumping back in your seat. Video calling him had somehow made you miss him even more. 
But alas, such was life. When the morning sunlight streamed through your dorm windows on Christmas Day, you had already carefully planned out your day. 
“Okay, so,” you tapped your pencil on your paper, filled with a list of the things you wanted to do. First, I go across the campus to get those delicious pretzels from Lancelot’s Bakery, then I head to the grocery shop to get myself some chicken to cook chicken Alfredo pasta for lunch. Then-“ 
A knock at your dorm room caused you to look up from your list, puzzled. Your dorm mates had all left for their own homes for the holidays, so who could that be? You set down your pencil, moving to open the door. “Yes-?” Your jaw dropped when you saw who it was standing outside the door. 
“Jace!” You let out a cry of delight at your boyfriend’s warm, smiling face. The smile that you had missed so much. 
“Hey, baby-“ Jace barely had time to finish his sentence before you launched yourself at him, jumping into his arms and kissing him hungrily. Jace nearly staggered under your weight, hands going to stabilise you as you wrapped your legs around his waist. He savoured the taste of your lips, feeling you melt against him and nearly tearing up when you realised that he was real. 
Oh, how he missed you. How he missed this. 
Jace quickly brought you into your dorm room, kicking the door shut behind him as he didn’t break the kiss. He set you down on the edge of the desk that you were writing on, tongue tangling eagerly with yours. “Mmm, I missed you so much,” he mumbled against your lips, fumbling for the zipper of the shorts that you were wearing. “I missed your lips, your scent, your pussy…” 
You let out a laugh, breaking the kiss to rest your forehead against his. “Someone’s eager, huh?” 
“Don’t act like you aren’t,” Jace chided, chuckling as he pulled your shorts off. “Nearly six months without you has been absolute torture. I had to stroke my own dick almost every night for the first few months you know.” A pleasant shiver shot through you at the imagery: Jace stroking himself to the thought of you every day, groaning as he spilled himself in his hand. 
“Sounds like I should make it up to you then,” you said slyly, pushing yourself off the desk and getting on your knees. Jace’s breath hitched as he took in the sight of you, radiant, rosy, glowing, down on your knees in front of him. Where you belong. 
You made fast work of his jeans, unbuckling his belt and tugging his jeans and boxers down in one go. Your mouth nearly watered at the sight of his length, long and leaking with precum. You ran your fingers along the vein in his cock, teasing him, and Jace groaned, pulling your hair into a makeshift ponytail. “Baby…don’t be a tease,” Jace’s voice was low, pleading. You simply laughed, looking cheeky as you debated on whether you should give him what he wanted. 
Jace nearly saw stars when your hot mouth got to work on his dick, licking the underside of it, letting the precum collect on your tongue. His grip in your hair tightened. “Love…” 
Slowly, you began to take his cock into your mouth. The loud, scandalous, squelching noise of you taking his dick inch by inch reverberated throughout your empty dorm room, making Jace grow even harder, if that was even possible. He had dreamt of this moment so many times for the last few months…
He made a low, strangled noise in his throat as you hollowed out your cheeks to accommodate even more of him, trying not to gag in the meantime. His fingers tangled even deeply into your hair, “That’s it, that’s fucking it. Take all of me in,” Jace encouraged you. “You can do it. You’re a good girl for me, aren’t you?” 
Your answering nod caused your head to bob on his dick a little, and Jace moaned at the sight. He could just die happy now. 
“Can I fuck your face, sweetheart?” Jace asked tenderly, but you knew that his tone of voice, while friendly, left no room for negotiation. So you only looked up at him with those adorable doe eyes, and nodded slightly. Jace smirked, pulling out a bit before thrusting himself back into your throat. 
He continued to fuck your face, going slow and gentle at first, then his thrusts grew more and more erratic as he felt your hot little mouth envelop his dick just so perfectly. The sound of your fingers playing with your pussy as he face-fucked you however, drew him back to attention again. 
“Hey,” he slapped your cheek lightly, getting your attention as you looked up at him with wide eyes, having been caught. “You’re not allowed to touch that pussy as I face fuck you.” Your expression of dismay almost made him feel bad. 
Almost. 
“No touching yourself, sweetheart. Or else I won’t let you cum later, you understand?” Your eyes teared up a little, and Jace watched you with a smirk as your expression grew desperate, but you could simply nod obediently, knowing that Jace would make good on that promise. 
“Good girl,” he soothed you, before thrusting into your mouth even harder, faster. 
Your moans were muffled by his cock, but Jace let his unfiltered noises echo throughout the room, his curses and groans and praises only making you wetter. “Yeah, that’s it, baby…taking this dick like a pro, huh? What a dirty little slut you are.” 
You could barely speak with his dick in your mouth, and Jace could feel himself getting closer as he watched your tits bounce in that skimpy top you had on. He couldn’t wait to have his hands and mouth all over them, kissing and biting and sucking on your hardened buds. The thought alone was enough to send him over the edge, and when you began playing with his balls, he completely lost it. 
Letting out a rough moan, he spilled himself in you, his hot load shooting down your throat. The vibrations of your muffled moans around his cock made it feel even better. 
He pulled out, watching your dazed, blissed out face. Gently tilting your chin up to face him, he ordered you, “Swallow all that for me, sweetheart.” 
Obligingly, you did so, and Jace let out a sigh of pleasure. “Good girl. Come here.” He helped you up from your knees, gently hoisting you up onto the desk again while rubbing your red knees with his thumbs like a perfect gentleman. Then, his hands found his way to your cheek again, and his lips to yours. He could taste himself on your tongue, and he groaned into your mouth, hand going to palm at your tits through the fabric of your top. 
“Best Christmas present I could ask for,” he murmured, sweetly pecking you on the lips. “Which reminds me,” you brought up, voice a bit hoarse after that intense face-fucking. “How’d you get here?” 
“I flew out, duh.” You smacked Jace’s shoulder at that non-serious response. “Ow. I flew out all the way for you, and you abuse me like this?” Jace rubbed his hot shoulder, looking like a kicked puppy. “Hurts me right in my feelings, baby.” 
“I’m serious,” you pressed, and Jace laughed, kissing your pouting lips. “I don’t know, you just looked so sad over the video call…I just had to come and see you.” 
“And your family was cool with it?” Jace laughed again, rubbing your shoulder reassuringly. “Mom’s always chill about it, don’t worry. And you know my little brothers; they always act like they’re happy to be rid of me.” 
“But for now,” Jace’s lips met yours again, searing, wanting. “Can we stop talking about how I got here and focus on worshipping you instead?” You giggled, tightening your arms around his neck. “Well, in that case-“ 
A clatter outside your door made you and Jace freeze in your tracks, wide eyes going to the door. “What was that-“ 
“My suitcase!” Jace exclaimed, a panicked look on his face as someone outside bellowed. “Who left their fucking suitcase in the middle of the hall?” 
You couldn’t hold back your laughter at the sight of abject horror on Jace’s face as he rushed to the door to apologise to whatever poor soul had tripped over his suitcase. 
Best Christmas you could ever ask for.

tw: mentions of blood, mdni
Chapter Three
"We gotta to take her to the hospital."
"You know we can't do that."
"We can because she's fuckin' dying!"
My body felt like it was floating before my focus settled on a steady throb of pain in my lower stomach.
"Butcher, she's not dying. Her pulse is strong, and since I stitched her up, she hasn't bled whatsoever."
"Then, why the hell ain't she wakin' up?"
"Because she's exhausted. She lost a great amount of blood and wore herself out trying to fucking wrestle you in the van."
Blood.
That word caught my attention. I remembered blood and lots of it as it painted Butcher's knuckles a deep red.
"If she's not up in thirty minutes, I'm takin' her to the emergency room, end of story."
"Butcher, you, and I, and fucking Jesus Christ himself, know that if we step one foot into any medical facility, we will be taken into custody. It's not worth the risk."
"She is. She's worth the risk.
It was quiet for either a few minutes or a few hours. Both timeframes felt the same in my hazy state.
A long sigh broke the spell, followed by more dialogue. "Jo is ok, I promise you. Now, I need to grab the bag of fluids that I left in my room. While I'm gone, don't you dare think about running off with her. I am the only medical professional she needs right now."
Footsteps trailed off as my eyes slowly blinked open to take in my surroundings. I was in the basement of the pawn shop, on the couch that I was still convinced had bed bugs.
"Mornin', sunshine."
The Cockney accent drew my attention, and I looked up at Butcher's tired face. His hazel eyes bored into mine, and memories from earlier flooded my brain.
"Here ya' go," Butcher said, offering me a glass of water.
Upon attempting to sit up and accept the drink, I gasped as my abdomen screamed in pain.
"Woah, there. It's a little soon for you to be up and at 'em, doll. Here, lemme help ya'," Butcher said gently as he laid me back down on the couch and eased a hand under my head, propping it up so I could drink.
Grateful, I eagerly gulped the water, finishing the whole glass in mere seconds and earning a chuckle from Butcher.
"There, ya' go. Down the hatch."
He slowly lowered my head back on my pillow and placed the empty glass on the coffee table behind him before turning back to face me, studying my face in great detail.
"You gave us a right scare there, love."
"At least I know you guys care," I shrugged. "Now, when I do actually drop dead, I'll be expecting a funeral with the works—fireworks, I mean. See if you can get Celine Dion, too. I heard she's available."
I expected another laugh from Billy, but instead, he looked more solemn than ever. His eyes trailed down to where my shirt, a clean one without blood, rode up on my stomach, showing the gauze that MM had wrapped me in.
"I thought I had lost ya'," He mumbled.
It was quiet between us due to the fact that I didn't know how to react to Butcher's surprising words.
"I guess I can relate to the feeling," I finally said as my face hardened. "Since you left me for three months with no goodbye. I thought you were dead."
Butcher bowed his head, "Jo, you have no idea how much I fuckin' regret leaving ya'. But I had no other choice."
"You always have a choice, Butcher." My voice grew louder as my emotions rose in powerful waves. "And you didn't leave me. You fucking abandoned me!"
He cupped my face, but I turned my head, rejecting the physical affection. "Don't," I whispered. "It's too late. You can't just walk back in here and act like nothing happened. Like you didn't fuck me, and then throw me away like garbage the next day."
Butcher's nostrils flared as he rose to his impressive height, towering over me. "Now, listen here-"
"Ok, I'm breaking this up," MM called, reentering the room. "Jo is very weak right now, and I cannot allow her to undergo any extra stress."
"I'm not weak," I quipped back, whipping my head to gaze at MM as he leaned over the back of the couch.
Unconvinced, he asked, "Really? Let me see you try and stand up then."
When I didn't move to rise from the sofa, MM shook his head. "You need fluids and rest. Luckily, neither is hard to obtain." He held up a bag of fluids before hanging it on an IV stand next to him.
"Now," he continued, doling out commands. "Close your eyes and go to sleep. I'll check your stitches in a couple of hours."
"But I'm not tired," I argued.
"The bags under your eyes say otherwise."
"Well, this couch is uncomfortable," I grumbled. "It hurts my back."
"Alright, we'll get you to your room then," MM sighed.
Before I could stop him, Butcher scooped me up into his arms, and I protested loudly. "Hey, what the fuck are you doing?"
"Oi, shut your pie hole," he whispered harshly, fanning the side of my face with his breath that stank of whiskey and dominance. "I'm takin' care of you whether ya' like it or not."
I fought an internal battle before closing my lips and fixing my eyes into narrow slits.
"Good girl."
Air was quickly expelled from my lungs as I exhaled, willing myself not to rub my legs together as an ache settled between them.
But it was no use. Butcher knew the effect he had on me, and from the corner of my eye, I could see a smirk plastered on his face as he carried me to my room, full of arrogance after winning our little quarrel.
"Dontcha worry, darlin'. When you're on your feet again, you can beat me up for being the bad man that I am."
I didn't respond because I refused to be baited into another argument with Butcher. Instead, I kept a pout in place and stared straight ahead, thinking of all the ways that I could cause him physical harm. After all, he had just given me permission to, and it was proving to be quite invigorating.
"And maybe when you're all done, you'll fancy bending over and lettin' me enjoy a meal or two. Because if my memory serves me, you seemed to enjoy it last time."
"Well, the last time was the only time," I curtly informed him as Butcher gently dropped me down on my bed. I inwardly chastised myself for falling for his trap when he flashed his crazy eyes above me.
"Mhm, that's what they all say."
"Well, I mean it," I snapped, pulling my blanket up to my chin as if it would shield me from Butcher's snarky words.
"Sure ya' do," Butcher said condescendingly as he patted me on the head before leaving the room.
I was relieved to be out of his company and was disappointed when he returned, the IV stand with the bag of fluids still hanging from it in tow and other needed supplies grasped in his hand. I watched as he prepared the IV tubing before he sat down on the edge of my bed and huffed, "Give me your arm."
"Why can't MM do it?" I sulked.
"Because I'm doin' it," he replied in a matter-of-fact manner.
I grumbled under my breath, clearly displeased. As I reluctantly drew my arm from under the blanket's coverage, Butcher looked at me with a bushy brow raised. "What? You don't think I'm a suitable nurse?"
"Well, your bedside manners leave much to be desired."
"That's funny. All my other patients think I'm perfectly charmin', especially the older ladies. I didn't know I appealed to nans so much," he snickered, running a calloused finger over my arm, searching for an appropriate vein.
"I'm surprised you appeal to anyone."
"I guess ya' should be questionin' your own taste then, eh?"
"Believe me, I am."
Butcher didn't reply as he wrapped a small piece of fabric around my bicep, creating a makeshift tourniquet.
"Don't look, ok, doll?" he instructed, swiping a cotton ball covered in rubbing alcohol over my arm. My nose wrinkled at the strong smell, and I coughed.
"I don't need an IV," I said, trying to negotiate at the last minute. "I'll drink lots of water. Even that gross electrolyte shit MM buys."
"I don't think that's gonna to cut it, sweetheart," he stated, sliding the needle inside of the small catheter.
I bit my lip, trying to resign myself to my fate but failing miserably.
"M'not gonna hurt ya', ok? Just look at the ceilin' so you don't maul me to death."
"It's not like you wouldn't deserve it."
Butcher closed his eyes as I began to tread on his nerves. "Princess, you outta think before you speak that way to someone who's holdin' a very sharp object inches from you, yeah?"
"But you won't hurt me. You just said so yourself."
"Doesn't mean I'm not tempted."
I rolled my eyes and held my breath as I followed Butcher's wishes and looked at the ceiling. I winced slightly when I felt the needle initially enter my arm, but Butcher gently ran his free hand over my shoulder, distracting me.
"Atta girl," he breathed. "You're doin' so good."
My body trembled as I floated down from my last orgasm. I was vaguely aware of Butcher as he pulled me to lay on his chest, both of us panting.
"Y'alright, sweetheart?"
I could barely reply as my eyelids fluttered open and closed. My mind was full of various thoughts, but none of them made sense as my head floated somewhere above the rest of my body.
"Look at me, doll," Butcher said, running a hand through my hair. "Lemme see them pretty eyes."
I mustered all of my strength to peel my eyes open as I looked up at Billy with a lazy smile on my face.
"There she is. Atta girl," Butcher whispered. "You did so good for me."
Even in my delirious state, I keened under his praise, and Butcher chuckled at my reaction.
"My beautiful girl," he murmured as I nuzzled into his neck, nodding off in the arms of someone I loved.
Yes, I loved Billy Butcher.
He just didn't know it yet.
I held my breath as I forced myself to count the questionable yellow spots on the ceiling and not get lost in yet another memory of Butcher pretending to cherish me. I had just reached the twelfth discolored splotch when Butcher sat back and said, "All done, love."
I looked down at my arm and furrowed my brows in confusion when I saw the catheter fully inserted with some tape to keep it in place. Aside from the initial insertion, I hadn't felt the rest of the procedure.
"Told ya' it wouldn't hurt," Butcher said proudly, crossing his arms over his broad chest, reading my thoughts, which were clearly displayed on my face.
"I guess you're not the worst nurse in the world," I relented.
Butcher's mouth curled up at the side, and I knew my meager compliment had inflated his already oversized ego.
"Well, ain't that sweet of you to say. But don't tell MM, alright? He prides himself on his medical skills."
Butcher delicately adjusted my blanket, pulling it tighter and tucking me in for the night. "Now you have a little lie-down, love. And dontcha let those manky bedbugs bite."
"Are you going to read me a bedtime story while you're at it?" I inquired.
"The only stories I like to tell aren't appropriate for bedtime," Butcher whispered, winking at me.
He headed for the open doorway before turning around at the last second. "Oh, and if ya' need help countin' sheep, just give me a shout. I'll be on the other side of the wall."
I nodded before curling up on my side, trying not to tug too hard on my IV as the door creaked shut, signaling that I was alone. The light from the living room drifted under the doorway, providing a makeshift nightlight and illuminating the small, dingy room.
Sleep came surprisingly soon, and I drifted off, dreaming of Billy's heartbeat under my ear as he held me in his arms.
༺༻
It felt like only minutes later when I woke up due to the sensation of someone's hands on my stomach, and I flinched as my eyes flew open.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you," MM apologized. "I was just checking your stitches," he explained as he pulled the bandage back over my abdomen and quickly did the same with my shirt and blanket.
"How does it look?" I asked hesitantly as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.
"So far, it's holding. But it wasn't my best work with Frenchie going ninety miles an hour and you...evading my help," he sighed.
"Sorry about that," I mumbled sheepishly.
"Hey, don't worry about it, kid. We all have something we're scared of. If I were being held down against my will while someone coughed in my face, I'd have done everything I could to knock their fucking teeth out."
My smile was small as I nodded in gratitude. "What time is it?" I inquired, wondering what day it was as well.
"Noon."
"Noon?" My eyes grew wide as I ran a hand through my matted hair. "Fuck, I must've slept for almost nine hours." Which was rare. These days, I was lucky if I slept for two hours consecutively with the anxiety that ran through my veins and the threats that loomed over our heads.
"Ten, actually. I told you your body needed rest."
I was preparing a comeback when my stomach grumbled loudly, interrupting the conversation.
MM rose to his feet. "By the sound of it, it seems you might want some breakfast. Frenchie made you a get-well gift in the form of French toast. Are you interested?" he asked, and my ears perked up at the offer.
"Sounds really good, actually."
He nodded, patting my shoulder. "Ok. Butcher will be in to help you up."
I groaned loudly, and MM couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry, kid, but Butcher made us all swear not to touch you. I was only granted special permission on the basis that it was purely medical so I could check your stitches."
"He's being ridiculous," I scowled.
MM regarded me knowingly. "I think I'd probably call it something else."
I rolled my eyes, and MM laughed again as he exited my room, leaving the door open.
I barely had time to prepare myself for Butcher's imposing presence when he glided through the uninhibited doorway with a cheery greeting on his tongue.
"Rise and shine, my love. How are we feelin' this mornin?" His accent was especially thick as he wasted no time in raking my blanket back.
I yanked the fuzzy material back over myself, glaring up at the Brit, but he just retaliated by gripping the blanket in one of his paw-like hands and tossing it across the small room.
I eyed the pile of fabric I was unable to retrieve due to my current injury and whined, "Don't leave it on the floor. I just washed it." But I was soon distracted by the chair that sat in the corner facing my bed. I didn't remember seeing that yesterday.
"Who's chair is that?" I asked, pivoting the conversation.
"Mine," Butcher replied as he carefully pulled my IV out and wheeled the IV stand out of the way. "You'll have to forgive me for bringin' my chair in, but I haven't figured out how to sleep standin' up yet."
"You slept in here last night?"
"Well, I don't have bloody x-ray vision, so how else was I s'pposed to keep an eye on you, eh?"
"Did it ever occur to you that not checking on me at all was a viable option?"
"Not in my book," he responded sharply before changing the subject. "Now, let's getcha up. According to MM, you're fancyin' some of Frenchie's cookin'."
Butcher slid an arm under my lower back and slowly pulled me into a sitting position.
"Easy does it, love," he said as I squeezed my eyes shut and breathed through the discomfort. "You got it."
I swung my legs over the side of the bed so my feet rested on the floor, and I braced my palms on my thighs, trying to steady myself.
"Take your time, ok? I don't need ya' rippin' your stitches under my watch," he advised as he laced our hands together and pulled until I was standing on my own two feet. My vision blacked out for a second as the blood rushed from my head down to the rest of my body, and I teetered forward, falling into Butcher's muscular chest.
"I've got ya' sweetheart," he assured me as he held my unstable frame against him.
I pulled back when my vision returned, and I looked up into Butcher's attentive face. "I'm dizzy," I mumbled.
"S'ok. MM said that's normal," he assured me softly, tucking my tangled hair behind my ear.
I wanted to chastise myself for enjoying Butcher's tenderness, but I simply didn't have the energy as I nodded, trying to turn toward the door.
"Do ya' think you can walk?" he asked, resting a protective hand on my back. I'm more than happy to carry you."
"I don't need a chauffeur. I'm perfectly capable of walking," I said, stumbling forward a few steps. I was determined to do something on my own after being coddled for the past twenty-four hours.
Butcher didn't reply, but he didn't remove his hand either in the event that I should fall again. That only increased the pressure I felt to walk faster and show him I was strong enough to move about without any help.
I finally made it out into the open area of the basement and was greeted by everyone. Hughie, Kimiko, and MM wore encouraging smiles as Frenchie placed a tall plate of French toast topped with whipped cream on the coffee table.
"Pour toi, Mademoiselles," Frenchie announced, and I thanked him profusely.
Under Butcher's watchful eye, I eased myself down on the couch, and he quickly followed suit. He placed a supportive arm around my shoulders, and I would've made a snarky comment about him being clingy, but his arm was the only thing keeping me upright at the moment, so I kept my mouth shut.  
Butcher placed my breakfast in my lap and whispered in my ear, "Do ya' need me to cut it for you, princess?"
I used all my energy to elbow him in his side, and he breathed out a laugh before addressing the room. "Alright you twats. Let's have a little chin wag about tonight."
My head shot up in confusion as I chewed the first bite of my French toast. The wonderful medley of sugar and cinnamon coated my tongue. However, I couldn't focus on Frenchie's superb culinary skills when the group began discussing a mission to which I was not privy.
"Ok, so after a little bit of trouble due to a very annoying firewall, I was able to hack their systems, and I found a blueprint of the building, so we'll be able to locate her office quicker than just going in blindly," Hughie said, squatting next to the coffee table and spreading out the blueprint that he had just spoken of.
"Who's office?" I interrupted.
Hughie looked confusedly at Butcher, who had remained silent beside me. "You didn't tell her?"
"Tell me what?" I asked skeptically, turning my head to look at Butcher, and he sighed.
"We're breakin' into Raynor's office to have a look around before the CIA cleans it out. Word on the street is that they're doin' it tomorrow, so we've gotta go tonight."
"And you decided this without me?" I asked incredulously.
"You were knocked out, love. Was I s'pposed to wake ya' up in the middle of the night? You're always moaning about how ya' need your beauty sleep."
"Well, that wouldn't have been difficult considering you were two feet away watching me like a fucking peeping tom," I snapped before glaring at the rest of the room. "I'm coming with you."
"No," Butcher said sternly. "You aren't goin' anywhere."
"Yes, I am," I pressed.
I felt Butcher's fingers tighten around my shoulder. "Let's talk about this later, yeah?" he suggested.
"Talk about what later? The mission that I was unaware of or the fact that you won't fucking leave me alone?"
I should've seen it coming, but I was still thrown off when Butcher suddenly stood from the sofa, leaving me to crumple against it without his support. He then stomped to the other side of the basement, only stopping when he reached the corner and sneered at me. "Is this better?"
"Expanetuily," I bit back, clutching my abdomen as it tensed up under the new strain as I stood as well, not finished with what I had to say on the matter. I thought I was holding up well until MM swore, rushing to my side and forcing me to sit back down.
Bemewsed by his behavior, I tried to question him, but when he pulled up my shirt, I saw blood seeping through the gauze, and my heart plummeted.
I had ripped my stitches.
"Hughie, go into my room. On my desk, you will find some supplies. Bring them to me," MM instructed as he made quick work of pulling back the now-damp gauze.
"Fuck, it's worse than what I thought," he sighed. "Nice going, Butcher," he said, throwing a dirty look over his shoulder at his boss, who had remained standing in the corner.
The dig forced Butcher into action as he footed it over to us. "Fuck you. Clearly, I didn't do it on bloody purpose."
"Just get out," MM barked as he accepted the supplies from Hughie.
"No, I'm stayin'," Butcher argued obstinantely.
MM pinched the bridge of his nose. "Butcher, Jo is clearly upset by you being here. So stop being a stubborn motherfucker and get the fuck out."
Butcher's gaze fell on me as lines formed between his thick brows in concern. I knew he was waiting for me to beg him to stay, but I wouldn't do it. His comfort was something I craved like a drug, and it was about time I got clean. Plus, I couldn't deny the sick urge I had to hurt him, to push him away like he did to me when he left for three months.
"Fine," Butcher uttered slowly when I remained silent, "I'll let you other cunts dry this one's tears when she's fuckin' beside herself over a goddamn needle and a little bit of blood."
He pivoted around and swept up the stairs. Seconds later, the old building shook as Butcher forcefully slammed the door.
It was quiet after Butcher's dramatic exit, and MM shook his head, running a needle through a lighter. The deja vu I felt was painfully prominent.
"You ready to try this again, kid?"

Excessive Force : Tom Ludlow x Fem Nurse Reader (COLLAB W/ THE INCREDIBLE @johnwickb1tsch) - Chapter One
Tumblr media
Summary : After you treat him in the ER, Officer Tom Ludlow asks you out. You turn him down, thinking you know his type, but he’s not willing to take no for an answer. In fact, you find out he’s more than willing to abuse his authority in his pursuit of you. Maybe Ludlow seems like an asshole, but when you are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that could go all the way to the top of the LAPD, he might be the only thing that stands between you and a shallow grave.
TW : Abuse of authority, alpha male, sexual harassment, the word “no” is not in this man’s vocabulary
The ER is overflowing tonight. There was a huge drug bust down on South Hampton Avenue that ended in a fire and gunfight: turned out to be a big enough debacle that they had to call a code black throughout the hospital, which basically means, at least for you, no breaks or time between patients. In times like this, charting even takes a back burner thanks to a hospital policy where everything you learned in nursing school flies out the window and you don’t have to document what you’re doing. 
It’s a good thing, because you don’t have time to log onto a computer let alone write something down with pen and paper. Burn victims, gunshots, every bed full, people boarding in the waiting room and hallways with broken limbs and makeshift pressure dressings on bullet holes and stab wounds.
The once chemical, pristine floor and walls now look like something from a SAW movie, and you’re not much better off. Bloody, dirt caked scrubs, exhausted, sweat stains. You’ve probably done more chest compressing tonight than you have in your entire career leading up. And you’ve seen more people die tonight… well, more than you’d like.
You wipe some tears off your cheeks, pretending it’s sweat, before walking into the lobby to catch the stragglers. “Thomas?”
“Call me Tom.” He’s a cop, still in uniform, sitting on the floor with a big puff of gauze pressed into his shoulder. You kneel down beside him. 
“I’m y/n, can I take a look?”
“Sure.” He winces, pulls the bloody dressing away to reveal a big, messy gash slicing into his left shoulder. It will need stitches, that’s for sure, but other than that it looks like a fairly clean cut. 
“Knife?” You ask him, pulling back on his shirt. 
“Some fucking idiot crackhead with a sword, actually,” he grits. 
You laugh a little bit. “I’m having a hard time believing that.”
“So am I.” He tries to grin at you, but it comes out more like a snarl because of the way you’re poking and prodding at him. 
Maybe it's just because you're exhausted, you've had a terrible night, and you hurt all over, but you can't help but notice how handsome this man is, even after his own ordeals on the mean streets of the City of Angels. He watches you with sharp dark eyes that miss nothing. You almost feel sorry for the criminals who find themselves on the receiving end of that stare. As it is, you almost feel a little unnerved yourself, until you notice a sparkle of humor for you in those dark orbs. However, you still get the feeling like he's studying you while you are tending his wound.
“I gotta stitch this,” you tell him, a little shy under his gaze, now. 
“Are you good at that?” 
You’re kind of in your own little world when he asks that, looking at his arms. Solid and big. Nice veins. It takes you a minute to register that he even said something. Yeah, you chastise yourself, why don’t you just start fucking drooling while you’re at it? 
“Good at what?” 
His grin tips higher. “Stitches…” 
“No, but I'm going to stab you repeatedly with a needle anyway…”
He chuffs with laughter. “You just seem a little distracted.” The way he smirks at you, you just know you're caught out. Get it together, you scold yourself. Maybe act like a professional instead of oogling the nice police officer.
“Sorry. It's just been a really long night. I promise, you're in good hands.”
“Looking forward to it,” he answers, with a beam of direct eye contact that nearly brings you to your knees. 
This is where you catch your lucky break, because this is where you start to get annoyed. Mostly, at yourself, but partly at him too. He clearly knows how attractive he is. He's just that kind of asshole. And it's been fucking forever since you've gotten laid, because the world is just so full of assholes… It's not fair, the way he uses this advantage to tease you, when you feel like an extra in a Rob Zombie film. You do your best to appear unaffected as you walk away to retrieve supplies. You also pretend not to notice him staring at your ass, which, okay, you have to admit, it’s a little bit of a confidence boost. 
It’s almost stupid to put towels under his arm as you spray him off with sterile water - this floor could actually use it. You get the edges pink and shiny, uncake the blood and the viscera. Grateful for the distraction - distraction from the big, brown eyed cop who won’t stop looking at you. 
He has that type of stare that has weight to it. You feel it, on your skin– and you hate to admit it– in the aching throb between your legs, which is the last thing you need to be distracted by right now. Ah, the stupid lady parts, always making their vote known at the worst possible time. 
Even though you let the anesthetic sit for a while, modern medicine can’t account for all the pain. He’s wincing and grunting while you tug his open flesh back together, and those gruff sounds are not helping this whole being attracted to him situation. You feel like your skin is on fire from his overwhelming stare, from the noises coming out of that long throat. Christ, he’s not even touching you…
“You alright there sweetheart? I'm the one under the needle.”
You look at him, some of that anger escaping in your tone. “Please don’t call me sweetheart.” 
“Sorry. Been a long night for me too.” He lifts one of those sculpted dark brows at you, and you feel it as your heart tries most earnestly to tap dance right out of your fucking chest. 
You sigh, narrowing your eyes so that he knows he's not in the clear. Unfortunately, he just seems to find that adorable, those dark eyes sparkling like black diamonds. 
“Just…let me finish you off so you can get out of here.”
“Didn't know you performed that service here,” he quips with a smirk, and you're almost relieved he drives this final nail into his coffin, even if the suggestion makes a spear of desire shoot through you. 
“I'm starting to side with the crackhead now.”
“Ooo, ouch,” he snarks, unaffected. “Take your time, this is the most fun I've had in a while.”
You decide not to answer, concentrating on your work. This man has a quick comeback for everything, you have a feeling. Worse, you kind of doubt a girl like you has a chance in hell of outmaneuvering him.
As you're bandaging him up, he senses your time together is coming to a close. His demeanor changes a little– if you didn't know any better,  you'd think he was sad about it. “Thanks for stitching me up,” he says, surprisingly humble. He rolls those big dark eyes up to yours, and you feel your resolve to be a stone cold professional crumble–a little.
“You're welcome.” It's possible your touch on his shoulder lingers just slightly longer than it should. 
“Hey…” He clearly feels bold enough to catch your hand in his. And holy shit, that hand. Your little mitt disappears in his, wrapped up in long, blunt fingers. The things you bet that hand could do to you…
It's definitely not a helpful thought.
“Any chance I could give you a call sometime?”
Your initial, knee-jerk reaction to this question, from this fine-ass man, is Yes, please and thank you. You're sure he sees it in your eyes, the way you're practically ready to sit up and bark for him.
But then, past experiences raise their hands to the situation, and how grateful you are. 
You know this guy's type, you convince yourself. Handsome, and macho, and they think they're so cute they can say anything and you'll just keep eating out of the palm of their hand, grateful to be their girl. You've starred in this show before– and it always ends in tragedy, with your heart in shreds, and them shrugging you off before moving on. 
Not tonight. 
“Sorry, but…I think it's best we keep this professional.”
Why does it hurt to say it?
You expect him to sulk, maybe even get mean, the way so many manly men do when a woman bruises their fragile egos. However, it seems this man is different. He just smirks, and you realize with a skip of your heartbeat, that he is not deterred at all.
“If you say so, sweetheart.”
With your heart in your throat, you have a feeling this is not the last you see of detective Tom Ludlow.

Tumblr media
“That’s it. Be a good boy and spread your legs for me.” Crow whispered into Johnny’s ear. Her hot breath pressing against his neck like a long forgotten memory. 
The hum of the air conditioning in the background, the chill in the air, Johnny knew he should resist temptation. But why should you care if you’re gallivanting everywhere else?
Why should he live by your rules if you never wanted to fuck him in the first place?
Rules like no porn, no masturbating, no sex before marriage, the whole nine yards was a nine yard painful memory of how much of a fucking hypocrite you always were. 
He needed to remove you before you made his entire life miserable as possible. Gotta cut you out like a heinous disease. Ruining every facet of his life as you take what you please. Don’t come crawling back. He’ll slam the door right in your face. He doesn’t need a repeat flavour.
Furthermore, he doesn’t need a repeat dinner. If he never got to eat it in the first place. Take your ego, swallow that pride like did to his comrade’s cum. Don’t try your shit again. He’ll never trust you like he did again. 
Price’s phone calls went straight to his voicemail. Gaz’s text were immediately deleted. Ghost’s lurking were blatantly ignored. 
It was clear he wasn’t going back to them. 
He was going to show them how much he didn’t want them in his life anymore. 
Nothing they could do or say could change his mind anyway. 
He wanted to make you suffer.
He wanted to make you cry. 
He wanted it all. Just so he could feel alright.
Johnny getting his cock sucked off by his ex-girlfriend Crow. Imagine their surprise to see Crow on her knees as Johnny placed his hand on the back of her head. Locking and weaving his fingers into her deep burnished copper hair, Johnny’s eyes rolling to the back of his head as Crow continued to work her tongue along his thick, veiny shaft. 
She stared at him through her long, thick, dark eyelashes. A little smirk tugging at the corners of her lips. Studying every reaction he made, every move, every twitch. Taking his entire length without any trouble what-so-ever. 
Johnny didn’t have to beg her to touch him like that. Not like he felt like he had to with you. With a gentle nudge, he encouraged her to take him deeper. Which she eagerly obliges. Cheeks hollowing with each bob.
The sound of her saliva, smacking against his shaft, echoed through the living room. A sweet symphony of lust. A song you could have sworn belonged to just the two of them. Belonging to another time, to another place. 
Here it is. Right there in front of him. You can’t blame him for seeking comfort elsewhere, right?
Their dance of carnal desire. A dance which never ended just because the two of them decided breaking up was the better outcome. 
‘Am I The Asshole if I seek out comfort from my ex-girlfriend because my current girlfriend won’t give me any?’ Johnny’s question popped into his head. 
‘Am I The Asshole if I break up with my cheating girlfriend to get back together with my ex?’
These questions lingered around his mind. As his resolve continued to wane, to dilute and wash away. Like a candle’s light flickering, spluttering inside the melting wax. Warmth from Crow’s mouth around his cock, warmer than the cold reality of his life now. His current situation. The end of his relationship. 
She looked up at him, their eyes silently talking of the connection they still have, the one neither of them denied. Her tongue swirled around his tip tasting, taking his pre-cum eager to please. To be at service. 
Her enthusiasm sent a jolt of electricity through him. Johnny’s grip on her hair tightened by a fraction. Guiding her faster, deeper. The warmth from the cavern of her mouth felt like home. Getting closer and closer to his orgasm. Getting so close to the edge of cumming in her mouth. 
This is a dance he knew well. A dance he knew like the back of his hand. 
The way she looked up at him. The little sounds she made as she took him completely. The way she'd swirl her tongue around the tip of his cock—it was all so familiar, so comforting.
Her hands firmly gripping his thighs as she continued to take him. Getting closer to the edge, throwing his back against the plush couch, the deep emerald green velvet couch grabbing one of the cushions to muffle his deep groan. To muffle his moans. 
Crow’s eyes, an amber honey coloured eyes with charcoal and copper streaked through. Johnny’s hand slipped away from her hair, his eyes focusing on the way the light from the setting sun kissed the edges of her cheekbones, casting shadows over the sharp lines of her jaw, highlighting the piercings that glinted as she moved. Her mouth a wet, hot sheath felt like velvet around him, her tongue dancing with a skill that had him clenching his teeth to keep from crying out.
Working him to an orgasm which shook through his entire body like a seizure. He came hard, spurts of cum shot into her mouth, her eyes never leaving his. Crow took it all, swallowed with a smile, and licked him clean like a kitten.
Crow’s deep kiss afterwards, the taste of his own cum mixed with her saliva. Remnants of his cum on her chin, the sides of her mouth and cheeks. She would have wiped it away with the back of her hand. It would have happened had Johnny decided to stop. He loved to see her marked by him. Claimed by him. Completely and totally his. 
Her eyes looked into his, searching for any kind of guilt, remorse, something he couldn’t quite define. Then it hit him like a freight train in the middle of June. She was looking for any form of regret. Instead, all she found was the raw need inside unsated, 
His wants, his needs denied to him by his current girlfriend. 
No wonder he recorded this session with Crow. Sending it to the group chat to prove they weren’t his priority anymore. He didn’t give a fuck anymore. He didn’t care if you saw it, no, he wanted you to sit there and see it happen. If it was up to him? He would have forced you to watch in person. 
Captioning it with: ‘Good luck trying to get this out of your head, fuckers’. Followed by a selfie of himself during with his middle finger flipping them the middle finger as a final, ‘Fuck you’.
The message was sent and the video uploaded. He didn’t look at his phone as eat ate out Crow’s pussy, like a man starving in the face of a banquet. Wining and dining on her pussy like she is a deliciously aged wine. He moans filled the small space, his warm hands on her hips, her skirt on the ground and her shirt unbuttoned. 
He wasn’t going back to them. 
Furthermore, he wasn’t going back to you.
You weren’t his priority anymore, and this was his final straw. 
You saw the video in the group chat, your heart sunk so low inside your stomach, you wanted to scream at him, scream until your throat was sore and aching. 
It is a ‘I’m breaking up with you’ without saying ‘I’m breaking up with you’. All at once. 
But what kind of good would it do now? You lost him because of your own selfish actions. Now you had to lie inside the bed you made. He was happier with her. Finally, someone wanting to touch him, love him, give him what he deserved. And what did you do? You did nothing for him. Ever. You never supported him. Ever. 
You called him a fool behind his back. Now, you're the fool.
Now you know the reason why the Scots call the English cunts. 
You watched the video, the way his tongue curled around her clit, the way her back arched off the couch. It was like watching your life burn in front of you. But you didn’t just watch it burn. You were the one holding the match. You were the one throwing the gasoline on the flame, the reason your house is on fire. You are the reason everything around you is falling to pieces, and you only have yourself to blame. 
You bumped into him again at the coffee shop with Simon, the irony wasn’t completely lost on you this time. Johnny didn’t see you, he saw a ghost, A mere phantom of what you would have been to him hadn’t you been so unfaithful. 
Johnny got up to leave as soon as he saw the two of you, his stomach turning sour, curdling at the mere sight of your face. Nothing could save you from the grave you dug yourself. By yourself. With yourself. 
You had to face the music. No matter what you did now. It certainly didn’t matter anymore. 
Not to him. 
As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, Johnny grew more distant from Task Force 141. The bond they had once shared, the camaraderie, the trust, all of it eroded away like a cliff in the face of a relentless tide. He couldn’t bear to be around the people who had turned his world upside down.
Price couldn’t take it anymore, and he walked over to Johnny. No. He stormed over to Johnny as he read a book on ‘How to get away with murder’. He clearly wasn’t in the mood for any sob story. Nothing he could pull out of his pockets would fix it. 
"How? You fucked him up harder without actually stuffing your cock inside him. Which is something I didn't think could be done before. But well done. You showed me how." Crow’s words taunted price’s mind. Haunting his every step closer he got to Johnny. 
The mission became Johnny’s priority. Everything else had to wait until he wasn’t angry anymore. Until all his energy to be angry was completely drained out of his body. Leaving him a lone, bitter, empty shell of a man he used to be.
The man he is now? He is cold. Unforgiving. Ignoring each one of his teammates. Only talking when it pertained to the context of the mission. He wasn’t going to give any of them the satisfaction of seeing him crumble. Not for any of them. 
After another mission flew by with passing colours, without another hitch. Price couldn’t take Johnny’s cold shoulder anymore. He couldn’t take another day when Soap didn’t want anything to do with task force 141. 
So he declined Soap’s transfer request in the naive thought he could win him over or die trying. 
Johnny felt the walls closing in on him, suffocating him in his own anger and pain. Every mission, every conversation, every shared glance with his former comrades, it all brought back the betrayal. The taste of it was so bitter, he could feel it in his throat every time he thought of you. You had no right. No right to do this to him. But here he was, stuck in this shit show you had painted for him.
Price tried talking to him again. His words were like acid, burning Johnny's ears. But he had to keep it together. For the mission. For the sake of everyone's lives. The team needed him, even if he didn’t need them. The thought of you and them, laughing, smiling, enjoying each other’s company made him want to rip apart everything he saw.
But Johnny had to focus. He couldn’t let his anger control him. He was the bomb disposal expert, the one who kept them all safe when the shit hit the fan. The irony of it all was not lost on him. You had thrown a grenade into his life and now he was dodging shrapnel without any of their help. Without any of their care.
He threw himself into his work, becoming more detached with each passing day. The camaraderie that once filled the air between them now a chilly silence. They knew better than to push him, but the distance grew like a chasm between them. The only thing keeping him from completely losing it was the mission at hand. The only thing that kept him from walking away from everything was the promise of revenge.
Johnny's thoughts were consumed by the moments he had shared with Crow. The comfort she had provided, the way she had made him feel seen and desired again. The way she took him in, without hesitation or judgement. It was a stark contrast to the cold shoulder he had gotten from you, and it was a feeling he craved more than anything else.
Johnny fucked her right in front of you, forcing you to watch the entire thing. It was a show of dominance, a declaration of his freedom. You had pushed him too far, and now he was going to show you what you had lost.
You sat in the bedroom watching his cock go deep inside her. You couldn’t believe your eyes. But there it was. The proof staring back at you like a mirror. Reflecting the reality you didn’t want to face. The reality that Johnny had moved on. Without you. Without even looking back.
The way she moaned for him. The way he fucked her. It was like watching a horror movie you never wanted to see. But you couldn’t turn it off. You were the villain in this story. You had done this to him. You had pushed him to seek solace elsewhere. To find comfort in the warm embrace of someone who actually wanted him. Someone who didn’t just use him as a placeholder.
He forgave the affair. But he never forgave you.

The 5th House: Romance and Kids
The Astrology Break Down of the 5th house in Astrology.
Take into account that degrees matter due to the decans and the rulership of those as well, but we are not going into that part in this post. Personally, I am still piecing together the degrees in general. I know what each degree is ruled by, but the variations and more have to be studied.
I am actually going to be posting regarding the Planets and NOT the signs. We already know what the signs represent, but the planets really show you what's up.
Mars in the 5th house makes a person impulsive in their intimate/romantic endeavors. Things happen quickly. They don't care to wait or anything. They want it now, quick, and fast. Kids could even come about early for a person with this planet in their 5th house. This causes a person to be quite bold and assertive with their love and lovers. This planet brings about speed to a person's sex life and romance is probably always happening. They can break up with one and end up getting action from others. They initiate with their desires. Kids could also come about due to being in the moment.
Saturn in the 5th house is actually good because this makes someone very disciplined in matters of becoming a parent. We know that Saturn talks about longevity or time so this is someone likely to have kids with someone they have known for a while unless it just ends up being an older person. It's probably not going to be an older person all the time, but you can bet time was put into their connection with the person before a kid came about. This can make someone quite stern in how they scan a person's worthiness of their intimacy as well. This is someone that zones in on everything about a person. They will remember their sexual experiences with detail and the same with their sexual encounters. Love could have even started early for them and something transpired that caused them to slow down in their future dealings. Usually this supports them anyway even though they may not feel like it does when they are focused on what they want.
Sun in the 5th house likely will have kids with someone who actually makes them happy. They are likely going to make sure their relationship is solid and fulfilling before they even think about having a kid with someone. Happiness is important for them in general, especially with love matters. These can be people that have partners that come off positive or jolly.
Pluto in the 5th house gets down and dirty. Likely has a romantic/intimate life where change is inevitable whether internal or external. Deep romance is a priority and it may be approached with depth and taken serious. They could even choose to use sex for a life enhancement. They want to explore the depths of sex and romance that isn't common. They don't mind. Children can cause major changes for these individuals most likely. Likely to have kids with someone who changed their life in a big way.
Do we really need to do Moon? We know how the Moon operates already....
Moon in the 5th house: All you gotta do is make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. They'll likely have kids with someone they love and/or who loves them. Likely to have a romantic connection that's big on the emotional bond. Kids can even come about through emotional sex. Of course that wont always be the case, but it can be "A" case.
Venus in the 5th house give me vibes of people who may be big on wanting to be married. Kids can come after marriage, definitely, but not only. Likely to have a stable, solid, loyal lover/lovers. Kids can come when there is some decent or more than decent stability in this person's life. Wining and dining is no stranger to this person. They probably get the red carpet rolled out for them by their partner. Likely to respect their partner and vice versa.
Jupiter in the 5th house makes a person a fun, open, optimistic person. They themselves can be opportunists in love or they attract these experiences. Likely to have a fun or informational lover. Likely to have kids with someone that has brought experience, wisdom and knowledge into their life. They may even in some cases have literal circumstances where the lover is philosophical if not an actual teacher. Their love life can be expansive. Likely to also have a partner that is simply smart or travels a lot. This can also be the nature of the relationship where them and their partner teaches each other.
Uranus in the 5th house can make a person have lovers or a lover who is sexy, famous, funny, but still have something unusual about them or in their life. A person with this placement has an unusual love life whether they switch partners often or they simply don't go about love like people would expect. They may like someone who is different and not of commonality. Likely to have unexpected pregnancies. Babies can come about when not planned or expected. Likely to want ultimate stimulation from their lovers. Fun, limitless desires for their romantic life. Likely to have kids with someone who does something extraordinary for their lifestyle.
Neptune in the 5th definitely give me phantom pregnancy vibes. This has likely occurred in some way with these people. Either that or they are pregnant when they don't know. Could find out late or even have a situation where they are giving birth after living life regularly. Could have a relationship based on spirituality, escapism, fun, or a true blissful romance that makes them feel safe and special. Lover can be sensitive, a substance user, smoker only, spiritual, intuitive, or private. Likely to have weird relationships or relationships where they barely see their partner that much for various reasons. Could even have gaps in their love life.

First meeting...
A Shadow x reader fic
Tumblr media
I may actually make this a series- let me know if you want it to be !! But for now, a little oneshot.
"What is so bad about him ?" You ask the blue hedgehog in front of you. "First of all he's a faker. Have you seen him ? He's totally trying to copy me ! And second he's a huge part pooper, I bet he's never had fun in his life, hah !" Sonic joked. You had went out in the forest earlier today and saw a cave, you nearly went in before Sonic had stopped you "I can take care of myself, Sonic !" "Oh yeah ? How about that time Egghead captured you ?" Jested the  azure hedgehog. "That was once. Plus, you're no better yourself ! You're literally a danger magnet." "Well," Sonic chuckles "Danger is my middle name" You rolled your eyes and chortled. "Alright, alright, I gotta go, Y/n, I promised Knux I'd watch the Master Emerald while he goes out with Rouge. See ya !" And he raced off, leaving a trail of dust behind him.
You really wondered about what was in that cave. But Sonic said it was no good because of that Shadow. But then again, what harm could he really do ? You fixed up your fur/hair, and set off into the forest. God, you thought it was earlier. You looked at your watch. Oh, right it's winter. It's only 6:57. You walked through the night, looking at the stars. You didn't know much about them, but hell where they beautiful. You looked Infront of you to find yourself infront of the vast cave from earlier, a light accompanied with some crackling inside. Let's just hope he's in a good mood. You thought as you took the first step into the cave. Wind rushed outside as the rain began and thunder clapped. You jumped in surprise. You slowly walked down, getting closer to the light. You tried your best not to make a sound. Maybe this was a bad idea ? No ! It's just Shadow. He couldn't be any stronger than Sonic. You finally face the fire. You look around... Nothing. Maybe Sonic was wrong ? Maybe he lived in a different cave !a Great. You hate rain, you couldn't leave now. You turn around to sit, but you're met with a face inches from yours.
You yelp and stumble back. You look him up and down. His coat is a jet black, with red streaks running through his quills. On top of his chest is a white puff of fur. His hands are gloved, with gold cuffs. Finally, his eyes. They're crimson and seem to be studying you, finally he speaks "Who are you, and what are you doing here ?" His voice is deep, smooth, and firm. You could only assume this was Shadow. Shadow The Hedgehog. You shook at the break of the silence. You didn't know what to say. It'd be weird if you said you where here for him. You didn't answer. "I asked you, who are you, and what are you doing here ?" He spoke louder, firmer. Shadow was mad that his personal space was invaded, worse, is that it's someone he didn't know. "I-" You cleared your throat to help you sound confident. "I am Y/n L/n. I came for..." You paused. What do you say ? You're train of thought was cut off by the jet black hedgehog infront of you. "Well ? Answer or get out." He demanded. You looked towards the cave entrance, immediately reminded of the thunderstorm. "You're not gonna let me go out in a lighting storm, right ?" You nervously laughed.  Shadow looked at you, and then the cave entrance and thought for a moment. "Fine." You mentally cheered.  You turned around to see the fire behind you, along with a red sleeping bag. That's all there was in this cave. You almost felt sorry for the hedgehog. But, then again, living like this was his choice.
You sat down on the ground, the fire's warmth welcoming you. Shadow studied you some more They didn't tell me why they are here. Why ? And why would they be in this part of Green Hills in the first place ? He thought. You saw Shadow ruthlessly staring you down. It intimidated you almost. "Shadow ?" Shadow fumbled at the break of silence. "How do you know my name ?" Oh shit. How where you supposed to tell him ? Ugh, screw it "I heard of you from one of my friends." "Who ?" "His name is Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog." Shadow groaned at the sound of the blue hedgehog's name. "Don't listen to a word he says, he's just a faker. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Shadow The Hedgehog, otherwise know as The Ultimate Life Form." He clenched his fist infront of him. You slightly cringed at the action. You yawned and looked at your watch, 10:28PM. "Woah, okay ! So, I'm going to go to sleep, alright, Shadow ?" He nodded with a hum. You laid down, using your hand as a pillow. You finally fell asleep.
Shadow looked at you, a smile intruding on his face. He stepped outside, and climbed up onto the roof. He sat down, water droplets wetting his quills. He looked at the moon, remembering his best friend, Maria. If she saw him now, what would she think of him ? Shadow let his feet hang off of the overhang as he laid in the memory of her. He smiled as he thought about the fun times they had on the ARK. How she'd teach him all about the stars, and how she was the first to suggest the streaks in his quills. Suddenly lightning clapped, making a sound too familiar to him. Those great memories he was once basking in became not so great. Shadow remembered leaving his friend, her dying. Tears rose in his eyes. He quickly climbed down the rocky cave and went inside.
The hedgehog went into a corner, slowly rocking himself back and forth, breathing heavily. He tried not to wake you, but failed in doing so. "Shadow..?" You awoke after only about 10 minutes of sleep. You heard quiet sobbing from the other side of the cave. You quickly got up, the tiredness leaving you, and went to comfort the near stranger. "Shadow ?? What's wrong ???" You questioned, but was met with nothing. Instead, you hugged him. Shadow's eyes widened. He couldn't remember the last time someone had hugged him like this. He didn't care that he didn't know you now. He sobbed into your shoulder "I miss her. So, so -hic- much" you rubbed his back. You had no idea who he was talking about, but consoled him anyways. Soon enough, he was asleep in your arms. The hedgehog had cried himself to sleep. You looked at him as he slept in your arms. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to leave him like this ? You stayed, and Shadow subconsciously held onto you like there was no tomorrow. And soon enough, you fell asleep to the sounds of the rain...

How would you suggest to learn art? I currently am only able to draw heads not very well but I try and I'm very inspired by your art, do you have any suggestions or tips?
look at ur favs and try to draw like them! when i wanted to start taking art more seriously i was copying frames off cuphead and the sonic mania intro by eye and eventually i made some art friends who i wanted to draw JUST like. and i basically tried to adopt the artstyles that inspired me during whatever era of my life at the time but naturally my own swag shined through and after many years and inspo from so many different things, i draw the way i do now, and am still striving to get better! so what im saying is legit to just look at ur favorite artists and try to do what theyre doing, study ppls styles copy art by eye for practice, try to push yourself to try new stuff. pushing yourself sucks a lot because it can be quite a demotivator when you try to do something cool but you dont see what you quite hoped but thats experience!
----------------------------------
wear ur inspirations on ur sleeve! some of my fav artists that have inspired me a lot in the past 2 years are bobobazarra, marcoggers on twitter, vintdoo, dakidavekat, evilsk8r, deppa, mettaflix. and those are only just a few! i could literally go on naming people for hours. dont be afraid to proudly shout abt what or who who inspires ur stuff!
when it comes to hard practice and studies, if youre willing to get into certain techniques u can try looking into ways to break down the body, like boxing out stuff like the torso and pelvis and stuff like that to use as construction. to me when the mood would strike me when i was starting out, doing figure studies and copying poses i found on google was smth id do for like 30 mins to an hour, even if they were terrible it was just fun to draw them and move on to the next. and it was experience! even if it didnt feel like it at the time. like, doing something like copying a buncha hands for fun creates a mental library for ur brain to pick from to help make whatever unique hand youre trying to make for your art. its all experience! so do it when you feel up to it!
-------------------------------------
and overall just try to have fun, if you find yourself frustrated enough to feel hopeless about art then just try to take a step back and come back later or draw whatever makes you happy. but when youre able to take on challenge and pushing yourself always try to, and try to have fun and keep in mind that what youre doing is gonna shoot your stuff to the stars and that u just gotta keep going. and get pinterest! that shit helps out a fuckton both with creative inspiration and art studies and practicing and tips.
------------------------------------------ also keep in mind everything ive said here is just my personal experience and whats worked for me. everybody works differently with art. something that changed my perspective a lot was meeting one of my favorite artists last year, and asking for advice because i was going through horrible art block and self worth issues. i was going crazy copying peoples art in my sketchbooks trying to figure out what others understood that it felt i couldnt, trying to figure out what was missing. i was super desperate for improvement and it felt like i was improving so slowly compared to others with the same amount of years spent drawing as
i. so when i asked this artist what they did to study stuff, they told me they barely even did studies on anatomy and whatever. which was crazy to me because it felt like they had such a grasp on that kinda thing and stylized it so well. that didnt make me stop studying though but it made me worry about everything way less, because it made me realize you just gotta do what you feel is right and what you feel is truly pushing you, but most importantly have fun doing it. it made me realize art wasnt this rigid ass process where i was breaking rules or not eating enough art veggies. so with that, i accepted myself and i moved forward continuing to push myself but not worrying as much about improvement right away, just have fun and do studies and shit as i went when i wanted to, and give myself a little push to strive for stuff just a bit crazier than what i felt i was capable of.
everyone is different, theres some artists that start from the feet up or start drawing a body from the shoulder its crazy. but its not because its objectively better to do that, its just how they draw. some artists do full sketch constructions for bodies, some artists do everything from eye. im sure theres some that switched from doing everything from eye to wanting to do construction for bodies and stuff, and vice versa. they did what worked for them, but what makes ppl rly improve is simply that they have fun in the process and strive to push themselves, thats the most important thing, or at least thats my perspective on it at this current point in my life.
so do what you feel is right, have fun, try different techniques out, try different stuff that you feel will help you, keep being inspired.
-------------------------------
best of luck to u, sorry for yapping kinda a lot and thank u a ton for the kind words!

My job doesn't give two shits about me as long as I turn up for my shifts, my professor knows about how demanding my job is but won't cut me any slack and my work knows how uni is and still keeps pushing for more... It's at the point that I have to schedule my showers just to make sure I have the time for it. I skip meals most of the time for the sake of saving 20-30 minutes, I'm sleeping well (7-8 hours a night) but already falling into my bad previous habits of cutting down my hours then just to get more studying done since my job takes so much of my time and energy that I have to get up at 2-3am to study before work, because once I'm home I'm too tired to do anything beyond showering and dinner before crawling into bed to rot, my room is a mess because I don't have the time to clean it, and I can't fucking remember comfort characters' voices because it's been months since I heard them and I'm just. Tired. Of always giving my best and all my energy and effort to my job but then when I get home, I'm too tired to even read fucking fanfics. I'm sick of this but it's not gonna change because I'm not able to change my job right now - quite frankly, I have enough to worry about and at least, as shitty as my job is, I know what I'm doing there.
And I'm trying to figure out how to accommodate work experience around everything else going on because it's looking like I'll have to balance my job with my degree and work experience. I've been so busy I've been grocery shopping online during my work breaks or I won't have time for it💀💀💀
I am just tired. But this is the life I signed up for, so I'm just trying to get myself through this bout of burnout while also not dropping any responsibilities, friendships or creative hobbies; because if I lose myself, then I am gonna be well and truly fucked.
I wish Arthur was here, so he and I could have a conversation. I miss him terribly. He's always guided me through the worst of it and I need him now, too. I can feel myself giving up on the future I've been working so hard for, and that fucking terrifies me.
I'd like a hug please and thank you. I was gonna write some comfort tonight but I'm too sad and heavy to, so I'm gonna sleep. Gotta be up at 3 to study before work... It's easier to do it before work, though I'm sick of dragging myself out of bed in the middle of every night, but in the circumstances it works well for me.
I'm not gonna quit anything, to be clear, but during nights like this, it's all I think about. I'll feel better in the morning.❤️

Break time's over. Heading on up to the... second floor? I think this is the second floor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
OH IS IT
IS IT REALLY
I am going to remember this and retcon your personal history with it.
...
Wow, having a temporal awareness is weird. That sounded like a threat but actually I think it's going to be a good thing?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Can I just say how much I love this entire nation of LGBT normalization? This is such a rich culture of gender freedom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...given the context, I think Odile just admitted to being trans.
I'm not 100% sure that's what she meant by that. But that feels like what she meant by that.
Either way, good for her.
Tumblr media
...given the context, Isa definitely just admitted to being trans - Well, genderfluid, but nonetheless living his best gender life. I am 100% sure that's what he meant by that. There is no other way to take that.
Good for him.
Tumblr media
A second one of these. The last one we fought had a strange crest that let us delete Tears from our path.
Looking at it now... I kinda wonder if these things are what's producing the time-freezing Tears? It does look like it's actively crying.
Then again, it's a Sadness. They're all Sadnesses. So any of them could be making Tears. There's no reason to assume it's a specific kind that's doing it.
I dunno.
Tumblr media
But this one is clearly tied to the Tears in a way that none of the others are. What is it's deal?
Also, it's a Star crest. And the Nostalgie looks like a star. But stars are on our side.
But stars are also directly connected to time manipulation. And the Tears freeze things and people in time.
There is something here. I can't see the full picture. But I see connections.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bonnie and I are of one mind. It's stealing requisitioning time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The funny thing is, I see both sides of this. On the one hand, there is something funny about extending respect for chosen names and pronouns and stuff all the way to regal titles. Like can I become Duke of Vaugarde by telling everyone that I'm Duke of Vaugarde now? The answer, it seems, is yes.
But you also have to realize that despite the King being the King, Vaugarde nonetheless still is not a monarchy. Calling him the King conveys no actual political authority to him. The big threat here is that he's going to freeze time; That's not a political thing.
So even though it sounds like a regal title, the people of Vaugarde aren't doing anything different from just. Like. Respecting his chosen name. So I can become Duke of Vaugarde by telling everyone to call me that, but I don't gain any authority from doing so. I just get to be called Duke of Vaugarde.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We already knew this but it's a nice reminder of the source of Mira's insecurities: Fear of inadequacy in the shadow of the Head Housemaiden. It's not easy, trying to live up to a great mentor. I don't think anyone ever feels truly ready to take on the responsibilities of the people that shaped them.
I would like to say that no one could have done better than Mira already has but I've been mashed into salsa by a giant rock twice.
Both of which were my own damn fault. I'm just saying. Perhaps. Mira could work on her hiring standards.
Tumblr media
ROCK
AGAIN
This House has too many giant rocks. Someone needs to do something about that.
It's gotta be me. The House keeps throwing Rock because of my Scissors. It knows.
Tumblr media
But I rifled through it THOROUGHLY. Ugggggggh. Yeah. I get it. With the rock in the way, we are utterly screwed in this revolution. Only one thing to do now.
Tumblr media
I'm about to kill myself so anything I do right now is consequence free. Now is not the time to test me.
Hey. Hey, Odile?
Tumblr media
I think your field of research is the study of HOW TO BE A BUTT
Tumblr media
Hahahaha catch me now, suckers!

or
Some days are harder than others. 
Chuck doesn’t mean to be dramatic but he misses Roger. Sure, they see each other every day at practice, but schoolwork is rearing its head, leaving both Chuck and Roger to make the necessary sacrifices. 
He just wants to take Roger out to a nice dinner, but even that’s too much to ask. When they do get to sit down and chat, it ends all too soon and Chuck is left in his desperation. 
Like right now, languishing in his room as he waits for Roger to take a study break.
He should be studying too, but he’s about to lose his mind if he has to look at one more anatomy diagram. 
Slouched in his bed, Chuck has a book propped on his chest, his hand holding it at the top. He’s comfortable and in no mood to move any time soon. But life, or rather Joe, has other plans. 
“Alright, Chuck, you’ve got to do something about Roger,” he says as he throws the door to Chuck’s room open.
Chuck looks up from his book, frown already plastered on his face. “Why?”
“I can’t get through to him,” Joe waves. “Maybe it’s because we’re both in the same major or he’s just too used to me, hell, I don’t know.”
“You don’t know,” Chuck repeats. 
With a sigh he closes his book and gets to his feet. He wasn’t really reading it anyway. He motions for Joe to lead and Joe takes him to his shared room. Roger is pacing, hand through his hair then both hands on his neck. He’s a rabid animal about to burst. 
Joe edges away before Chuck can say a thing and he’s left to meet the eyes of one Roger Morris. 
“What do you want?” Roger snaps before shaking his head. “Sorry.”
“Tell me what’s in your head,” Chuck brushes it off.
He leans against the doorframe, arms crossed and waiting. The sigh that leaves Roger has the weight of the world in it and he gives a helpless shrug. 
“I gotta pass this test, Chuck. And not just pass. It’s gotta be an A. I know my stuff but every practice test ends up worse than the last.”
“Ulbrickson talk to you?”
“No,” Roger sighs again. “If this was just another exam, fine, but this is a midterm, it’s make or break, it’s—,”
Roger keeps on talking, making Chuck’s head spin.
“Rodge,” Chuck tries to interrupt to no avail. 
Maybe Roger will talk himself to exhaustion, but Chuck wants to stop him before then. In a few short strides he’s in front of Roger and grabbing his face. 
“Roger, look at me.”
Roger pauses then, eyes wide as he catches his breath. Chuck can’t help the little laugh that leaves him.
“You’re going to be just fine,” Chuck reassures. “You’re brilliant and the professor didn’t fail you after you fell asleep. You’ll pass with flying colors.”
He pulls Roger into a hug, arms around his shoulders. It takes Roger a moment but he returns the embrace, grip tight around Chuck’s waist. 
As Roger relaxes, Chuck breathes in and the room fades away. The gnawing in his chest retreats, his thoughts untangle. Roger hums as he rests his cheek on Chuck’s shoulder and Chuck is simply content.
“Now,” Chuck pulls back. “Want me to help with studying?”
The corner of Roger’s mouth quirks, his fingers dancing along Chuck’s lower back. 
“As long as you promise not to distract me,” he grins at last. 
“Can’t promise anything,” Chuck laughs. 
They reluctantly part but it makes no difference as they end up in the sun room, tucked into each other’s sides. Roger’s notes are enough to cause a headache but Chuck pushes through. After all, Roger somehow deciphered all of his medical books, so it’s only fair. 
When Roger rests his head on Chuck’s shoulder, he just smiles, reads the next section of notes out loud. They’re not getting much studying done, but Chuck isn’t worried. 
By this time next week, Roger will be back to his old self and then they can finally make up for lost time.
