fuckboy!sero hanta x fem!reader

summary: Sero Hanta is a fuckboi if you've ever seen one. A smooth talker, tireless confidence, an amazing kisser... But you know he's going to become a much bigger headache than he's worth if you play into his little game. Problem is, he is way too good at luring you right back in.

Hi, there! Anon, here! I read the prompts you filled, and have been sitting on many thoughts! I enjoyed each one-shot in general, but there were specific parts I want to praise! As the ask box a character limit, I will give an abbreviated version! 1. As soon as the last ribbons of the sunset had faded from the sky. 2. Endless spattering of stars 3. She slipped her hand into his arm, “What are we looking upon tonight?” TBC...

Continued: 4. Oh, the *research* you must've undertook! It brings such life to Edmund's explanation of the planetary nebula/constellation Draco! 👏 5. All the warmth and tenderness between them! She slipped her hand into his arm, holding his hand, leaning against his shoulder. 6. I could hear his voice as he shared "such was the greatness of the observers of the ancient world..." He compared Anna to Athena. He values her mind! 8. As awe curved his mouth up at the edges. TBC...

Continued: 9."It was wisdom to show Simcoe mercy" Yes! Our Annlett telepathy has aligned again! I've planned on expounding upon this in my fic! 10. The ending: how you gave us a glimpse into their married life, and the intimacy they share was lovely, and swoon worthy! 💖 *This* is the ending they deserved, and I thank you for filling the prompt and gifting such a treasure to the fandom!!! 🙏 I will send my thoughts on the next prompt shortly!

3. Her introspection is something I can relate to as I work on writing my own fic, because even though they are characters, and I am acting as author, I cannot un-see their final scene! Absurd as it is, her questions come to *me*, because *how* could he forgive her? Am I capable of writing a believable reconciliation? I don't expect you to answer this, but I just thought I'd share that her uncertainty in the one-shot is so valid and in-character! TBC...

Continued: 4. She was so 'in her own head' she almost collided with a barrel! 5. Peculiar angles and planes forming an even more peculiar--but infinitely dear--face. 5. He's staying?! "Y-yes, if you will have me." and her humility in response! 🤍 6. "You were as much a victim of the circumstances as I was..." *THIS!* This dialogue is what should have happened in canon! There was only a glimpse of it during their final scene, but IMO he hadn't come fully to this realization yet. TBC...

7. Odysseus: at first, I was unaware they had this conversation at all. But fortunately, I found it when I was scouring the TURN transcripts and then understood why you incorporated it! Abe and Simcoe as monsters - am I interpreting that correctly? 👹👺 **Cheering** Again, this conversation ought to have happened in canon! 8. "I wish to begin anew. I wish to learn who you are without the dark cloud of war..." GAH! Annlett telepathy again! ‘Begin anew’ is a theme in my fic! TBC...

8. "I wish to begin anew. I wish to learn who you are without the dark cloud of war..." GAH, Annlett telepathy again! Begin anew is a theme in my fic! 9. "...what we once found growing...might now flourish without the thorns..." I love how you incorporate Hew's nature metaphors into your fics! I do that, too! 🌹10. OK, the kiss! I admit, was not expecting the mild steaminess! **Fans self** You must warn us, will the next prompt fill be mild, medium or hot? Lol! TBC...

Continued: In sum: Thank you so very much for filling the prompts, and giving us not one but two lovely AU's which (again, I cannot refrain from ranting) *Should 👏 have 👏 happened 👏 in 👏 canon* 😉 I am very much looking forward to the second prompt, and to chapter six of AEWTTS when you are ready to post it (and no rush, it's always worth the wait!) 😄 I send hugs and many, many well wishes! 🤗 -- 🤍 Anon!

Hello! I’m so glad to hear that you’ve enjoyed the one shots! ❤︎

(Also, if you’d like to avoid the rigmarole of trimming everything to fit Tumblr's ask box limit, AO3 allows guest comments, if you don’t have an account, and doesn’t limit how much you write. Well, technically there’s a word limit, but the limit is so high I don’t think anyone would ever reach it. I never have, and all of my comments are usually novella length lol.)

I’m glad you liked the research in the first one! It took some work finding the right pieces and getting all of them to coalesce, and assembling it all was a rather precarious balance between info dumping and showing their relationship. Nerdy Hewlett is the best Hewlett. :D And Hewlett valuing Anna’s mind is quite possibly my favorite aspect of their relationship; it’s a rare dynamic in media, imo, and Anna certainly deserves to finally be respected and credited for her talents.

Yay for telepathy! Whenever I think of their relationship persevering/being renewed in an AU, I think it would be something very soft and gentle, a la the oft-quoted (over-quoted, really, but still lovely) “we deserve a soft epilogue, my love. We are good people, and we’ve suffered enough.”

I do think it’s possible that Hewlett could forgive Anna, post-S4 events, if they had the opportunity to talk about it, and he then had space to reflect on her actions. Hewlett at the end of S4 isn’t quite as jaded about what happened as he is at the end of S3, just world weary and ready for the war to be over, and that’s a good starting place for something to grow from, imo. I have an old meta I wrote about the potential they could have had in rebuilding their relationship if Turn had been allowed to go for 5 seasons, like the show runners wanted. There’s also two excellent metas on AO3 analyzing the ending events of their relationship that could be of some help, or at least thought provoking: “Love Enough” and “TURN: A Study in Creator Politics and Unintentional Intentions.” It’s been a long time since I’ve read either of them, so I don’t remember what exactly they cover and how relevant they are to your questions, but I remember that they offered hope for Annlett's continuation.

Burn’s funky face is very fun to describe. :D And yes, that was a reference to the canon conversation about Scylla and Charybdis, in which Hewlett mentions that he feels like he’s trapped between a rock and a hard spot, as Anna says, with Simcoe and Abe. In the context of the fic, Hewlett is both referring back to that canon conversation—1) to show that he remembers the conversation (i.e., that he still remembers the good moments they had, rather than the bitter note they ended on) and 2) to subtly reinforce his current interest in her, by referencing a moment when he showed his love for her—and referring to how hemmed in Anna felt during the beginning of S3 trying to balance her duty to the increasingly precarious cause with her concern/care for Hewlett, all of which were driven to a head with Abe’s threats about killing Hewlett. It’s a bit of a twist on the canon conversation, with Hewlett realizing and stating that he knows now that he hadn’t been the only one facing a Scylla and Charybdis of inescapable, insurmountable circumstances back then; Anna had too.

Yay for more telepathy! Hewlett’s nature-y metaphors are some of my favorite lines in the show, and I love that they’re canon because it means I can go wild with my purple prose when writing fics. (I do anyways, but it’s always nice when purple prose is canonical.)

Steamy, you say? I’d rate it as mild compared to most romance fanfic, but thank you kindly. :D

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts! I’m glad you enjoyed these!
